44, Zhang Wenyuan captures the child alive (Part 2)

Tuo Ying naturally has a sense of pride when she speaks wildly.

His father, Que Yi, had already dared to fight against Fang Bo, a state when Han Fu was in charge of Jizhou. Han Fu also sent troops to attack, but was defeated by Que Yi, forcing Han Fu to give way under internal and external troubles.

Yuan Shao, who was newly in charge of Jizhou, also needed to vigorously win over their Tuo family, and then faced Gongsun Zan. With Qu Yi's first elite force, he defeated Gongsun Zan's army in one fell swoop and helped Yuan Shao stabilize the situation in Jizhou.

Afterwards, the Hebei soldiers and horses attacked Gongsun, killed Yu Du, and defeated Heishan in a series of victories, all of which were indispensable for his father, Que Yi, and the contribution of the Tu family's soldiers and horses.

With the pride of his father and family, Tuo Ying, who was in charge of a battalion of troops at a young age, was full of energy and looked down on the battlefield.

Especially when I heard that the cavalry generals who led the enemy ranger seemed to be Zhang Liao, a general under Lu Bu who defected from Hebei last year, who has now been defeated and surrendered to the Hedong army, which made Tuo Ying, who was above the top, look down on him.

How dare the defeated generals dare to say bravery? They dare to run to the place where our Tuo family's soldiers were stationed, and they do not know how to live or die.

Tuo Ying looked at the wandering Qiang and Hu cavalry, thought for a while, and took the plan, and ordered his soldiers to shout, scold Zhang Liao with words and provoke the battle.

"Zhang Liao, you were defeated by the remaining soldiers. You first defeated me in Hebei and then rushed to Hedong. You can be said to be a general who is good at defeating. Today, when you meet my elite soldiers and strong generals in Hebei, you can't quickly dismount and surrender. If you believe that you still have the courage to face you, you can dare to line up to fight me!"

"Zhang Liao, dare to line up to fight me!"

"Zhang Liao, dare to line up to fight me!"

······

The Hebei soldiers under Tuo Ying's command roared together, and the sound shook the four fields and soon reached Zhang Liao's ears.

When Zhang Liao heard the shouts of soldiers from Hebei, his face spasmed for a moment. Because his face was red, he couldn't tell how much anger he had.

Wulouji, who was following him, also understood the shouts of the Hebei soldiers opposite him. His lips curled slightly, turned to look at Zhang Liao and asked:

"Prince, the enemy is fighting against you!"

Zhang Liao also looked at the Hu people in Shangjun who were a little gloating. When he was under Lu Bu's command, he served as the position of cavalry commander. Gan Ling treated him with courtesy. After he surrendered, he still gave him the position of captain, but he had no cavalry to take over.

The three hundred Qiang and Hu Yicong assigned to him by Gan Ling were headed by him on the surface, but in fact, he had to use the Hu people in Wulouji beside him to command these cavalry. Once Zhang Liao showed signs of defecting to Jixian and fleeing to Lu Bu's command, Wulouji would immediately order to shoot Zhang Liao and take his head back to Gan Ling.

Sending Zhang Liao across Qingshui to test the movements of Tuo Yi's army was not only a consideration of Zhang Liao's ability, but also a test of Gan Ling's loyalty to Zhang Liao.

"What do you think if I order an attack on both sides and attack the clash formation?"

Zhang Liao looked at Wulouji and asked quietly. Wulouji was not polite, and shook his head straight away.

"No, these enemy soldiers lined up to defend their formation. My cavalry has tried that there are still strong crossbows after Dali, so they cannot attack directly. They need to mobilize first, consume their strength, and then break the formation."

"But this is the enemy's base. When you spend their energy, you are afraid that the horsepower will be almost exhausted. It is a blessing to be able to withdraw. Can you still destroy them?"

Wulouji blinked and subconsciously retorted:

"Even so, such a strong attack formation will undoubtedly be defeated unless-"

Speaking of this, Wulouji's words came to an abrupt end. The miscellaneous warrior from Shangjun had fully understood Zhang Liao's plan. He asked tentatively:

"So you want..."

"Yes, I have sent cavalry back, just to report to Sima Meng, now, let's attack!"

Wu Lou Ji suddenly felt that the man with red face in front of him was not funny at all, and even suspected that he had pretended to be angry just now, which made him a little embarrassed. He touched his nose, turned around and ordered:

"Emperor Zhang has an order to let Chen Rui go to the evil formation, just like hunting, to bring prey into the trap."

After the order of the cavalry, he immediately rushed away. After a while, two rabises cruising around the Hebei soldiers began to gather, approaching from both sides, and began to send rabis to constantly approach the formation of the Hebei soldiers, and occasionally shot arrows.

This sudden change quickly aroused Tuo Ying's idea. After watching the changes, he laughed and said proudly:

"This Zhang Liao was indeed trapped. I was so angry with my words. It was indeed a mediocre general."

After saying that, Tuo Ying looked at Hu Qi who was beginning to pass by, and also restrained the contempt on her face and said seriously:

"This group of Hu cavalry seems to have been trained in military tactics, unlike ordinary cavalry. They have learned to feint attack to test the distance and density of my bows and crossbows on all sides. All the officers and soldiers obeyed my orders and would not fire another crossbow arrow."

"You must see the direction of the flag and hear the sound of drums before you can get up and fire your arrows. Otherwise, even if the enemy cavalry rushed to the front, they would have to crouch behind the big shore. They would not raise the flag or shout."

After Tuo Ying gave the order, only his subordinates urged the soldiers to stay still, allowing the Hu cavalry to test the formation and shoot arrows. The arrows shot onto the Dalu in a scattered manner, making constant muffled sounds. Sometimes, arrows could be shot into the formation, and the Hebei soldiers were injured and killed. They were immediately blocked by the officers and pulled them to the end of the formation for treatment.

The Hu cavalry on the right was still wandering, and the Hu cavalry on the left was approaching first, roaring and rushing, and bursts of dust were raised. Although there were more than a hundred cavalry, they seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops. As they were about to approach eighty steps, the powerful crossbowman crouching behind the big squat had clearly heard the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground, and the ground under his feet was trembling, but the drum still did not sound.

Just as the powerful crossbow crouched in the big wing was trembling nervously, a strange horn sounded suddenly, and the sound of horse hooves that were getting closer and closer actually began to slow down. Before they could react, Tuo Ying, who had been watching the formation, curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled coldly:

"You dare to do tricks by the barbarians!"

As they spoke, the cavalry on the left who were about to rush to the formation dispersed one after another, and it was just a feint attack that approached the range!

On the contrary, the Hu cavalry, who seemed to be wandering and wandering on the right, had quickly gathered together in the charge, forming a front arrow formation, and rushed towards the other side of the Hebei military formation.

If it were an ordinary crossbowman, he had already shot the most dense rain of arrows towards Hu Qi on the east, and Hu Qi on the right would take advantage of their excellent opportunity to rush into their formation and take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt their formation.

Unfortunately, Tuo Ying was still a little capital under his arrogant attitude. He was not deceived by Hu Qi's realistic feint attack. He immediately ordered the cavalry to go to the right, and the powerful crossbowmen turned one after another. This time the cavalry on the right had completely accelerated the horse speed and rushed into eighty steps quickly, and instantly reached fifty steps again.

"Beat the drum!"

This distance depends entirely on the general's eyesight to judge. If you have a slight difference, if you hesitate, even if the powerful crossbowman fires the crossbow, the Hu cavalry will also break into the formation, and there will be a different path of victory or defeat.

Tuo Ying gave a decisive order, and powerful crossbowmen surged up one after another, and crossbow arrows shot out, forming a dark curtain. The powerful crossbow arrows instantly shot down more than 30 horses. The ten horses in front of the Hu Qifeng Arrow Formation were even shot like hedgehogs, and the front rider pounced on the ground and blocked the rear rider. The entire Hu Qiqi formation suddenly became chaotic.

The big slut on the right immediately dispersed, and a group of spearmen shouted thunder and rushed forward, followed by the sword and axe drivers, rushed towards the cavalry that had reached nearby. The spears stabbed the knights, and the sword and axe chopped the horse's hooves, like wolves and tigers. A group of infantry actually killed the Hu cavalry in the chaos of the cavalry and overturned the horse.

"Retreat quickly!" Chen Rui, who was a member of the Shen Qiang family, lost one-third of his cavalry after being taken over, felt very distressed. He dared not fight again. He quickly ordered his retreat. This feint defeat unexpectedly turned into a real defeat.

Chen Rui hurriedly fled with the cavalry. All the people who wanted to cover him were also repelled by the powerful crossbows of the Hebei soldiers. The two Hu cavalry retreated one after another. Seeing this scene, Wulouji couldn't help but be amazed and said to Zhang Liao:

"Chen Rui couldn't hold on for a moment. The soldiers from Hebei are indeed fierce. Commander, let's retreat quickly."

At this time, Wulou Ji's face was no longer ridiculous. In his opinion, such soldiers of Kuo Yi were really infantrymen who were more fierce than cavalry.

Zhang Liao did not make fun of Wulouji. He took a deep breath and ordered his retreat, then turned his horse's head and retreated towards Qingshui.

"Hahaha, the soldiers and horses in Hedong are indeed native chickens and tile dogs, and they collapse at once. Zhang Liao was just a brave and mediocre general, but he actually fled as soon as he was defeated. No wonder he was able to escape from Guanzhong to Hebei with Lu Bu and then from Hebei to Hedong."

Tuo Ying, who defeated Hu Qi, laughed out loud, and was very proud. The Hu Qi's tricks were not worth mentioning in front of him. Today, he would repeat the brilliant record of his father's 800-year-old defeating the White Horse Yicong, and drove all the Hu Qi from Hedong into the clear water.

After the soldiers from Hebei were chasing for a while, they were about to stop chasing, but Tuo Ying continued to order the pursuit. The military officers around him quickly ordered advice and told him that the poor enemy did not pursue. Although they had defeated the Hedong cavalry, the other side was all cavalry, and most of them were infantry, so they should not pursue them any longer.

But Tuo Ying sneered, and he said firmly:

"Zhang Liao has been defeated and fled. There is clear water ahead. The shore is densely covered with stones, which is not conducive to the cavalry running. If the enemy cavalry wants to wading and flee, the speed will slow down. We are just shooting slowly on the shore. Today I want to make the clear water full of red. I want those Hu cavalry who have escaped back to tremble and flee back to the enemy camp, crying to tell the reputation of the Tuo family's soldiers!"

Tuo Ying refuted the military officers who dissuaded the pursuit. In fact, there was another idea in his mind, that is, he not only wanted to repeat the record of his father's first breaking the white horse, but also wanted to imitate his father's journey straight in, kill the generals and flags, pull out the courage and courage of the Panyamen of Gongsun Zan's camp, and capture Zhang Liao alive, so that he could spread Tuo Ying's reputation in Hedong and Hebei.

"Continue to pursue!"

Tuo Ying shook the whip and rode out. Without looking back, the military officers around him were helpless and could only obey Tuo Ying's command and continue to chase forward with his soldiers.

Qingshui was not far from Fanting, less than ten miles away. When most of Tuo Ying's infantry approached the river, Zhang Liao's Hu cavalry had just been trekking in the water. Some Hu cavalry even lost their hooves because they were fighting for the road and fell into the water, causing a splash of water.

Tuo Ying laughed proudly again, and quickly ordered the soldiers to come forward and ordered the powerful crossbowmen to run to the water to fire crossbow arrows. Today he would definitely let all these Hu cavalry die in the water.

Unexpectedly, when the chasing Hebei soldiers rushed to grab the river bank and shot the Hu Qi in the water, the reeds that had dried up early due to the drought on the water were shouting thunder, and a large number of Hedong soldiers actually emerged from the grass.

Moreover, they also had powerful crossbows in their hands. With thousands of arrows at once, they were determined to pursue them. They were unprepared to have a large number of soldiers from Hebei were shot down. Tuo Ying was frightened and knew that he was careless and fell into the ambush of the other party. He hurriedly transferred the horse's head, made a sound, shouted to withdraw the troops, and then fled to the back first.

The soldiers and horses in Hedong who were just waiting in ambush could not let go of the pursuing enemy general. In the chaos, a general jumped out of the general, with a thick face and a strong beard, shouting loudly.

"Children Tuo Ying, Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan is here!"

······

Wucheng, Hedong Military Camp.

Ma Lin was called into the tent privately by Gan Ling. He was confused. Seeing Gan Ling's face was solemn and frown, he sneered in shock and said teasingly:

"Uncle Sheng, call me into the tent. Why are you still dazed? Are you thinking about your Ma family girl?"

Ma Lin and Gan Ling are both old men under Yan Xing's command. The two followed Yan Xing's first and had quarrels with each other. Now they are like friends. If Gan Ling listens to him making fun of Ma Yunlu, he will definitely retort, but today it is abnormal and shakes his head and says:

"Come and take a look at this military newspaper."

Ma Lin was stunned for a moment, and also noticed that something serious seemed to have happened. He quickly put away his smile, then stepped forward to take the military newspaper in Gan Ling's hand. The military newspaper was sent by Xu Huang from Yewang City, conveying the order from Yanxing of Anyi.

Zhang Ji of Hongnong had all his troops and invaded Hedong and Henan. The war was in urgent need. Yan Xing had led his troops to personally set up defenses. The military powers in the front were fully assigned to Ganling and Xu Huang. There was no need to ask for instructions. It was necessary to pacify the situation in Henoi as soon as possible. Then he divided his troops back to Hedong to defeat Zhang Ji together.

After reading this military newspaper, Ma Lin was shocked. He said with a smacking tongue:

"This big thing happened, Zhang Ji!"

Gan Ling looked at Ma Lin, nodded and said:

"The original military newspaper was issued from Anyi, and there was a seal order from the shogunate, which was really true."

Speaking of this, Gan Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed:

"I tried my best to win the Hanoi County, so I divided my troops to confront Tuo Yi, intending to force the reinforcements in Hebei. I didn't expect that such a thing happened in the rear. Now it's a difficult situation. Instead, we have to take the risk of using troops to cross the clear water and seek a decisive battle with Tuo Yi."

After hearing Gan Ling's words, Ma Lin also felt a little awkward and didn't know how to comfort him. People's calculations were not as good as God's calculations. If he had known this, it would be better to take a gamble at the beginning and attack the Yewang City with his entire army.

How could they have thought that at such a critical moment, such a big accident would happen. Now it is difficult to make one step wrong, one step wrong.

The two were speechless when suddenly a personal guard came to report outside the tent.
