【Chapter 981】 Breaking the captives, becoming famous in the first battle (Part 2)

"Don't be too arrogant, Zhang Liao is here!"

Just as Tadun attempted to siege Li Li, a sudden shout came from behind him.

In an instant, Tadun looked at the loud shouts and deafening horse hooves. But at the foot of the mountain road two miles behind him, tens of thousands of Han army cavalry rushed out at some point, and was roaring towards the back formation where he was. The leader was suddenly a burly general wearing a green robe and black armor. Behind him were densely packed with iron cavalry of Han army. The battle flag fluttering in the wind was embroidered with the word "Zhang" embroidered with two small characters as big as fists at the top, which were the two words "Wuwei".

When he saw so many Han army cavalry appeared behind him, the ferocious look on Tadun's face instantly frozen, and his expression was dull, his dark face turned white, and his body trembled involuntarily.

In the blink of an eye, the sudden Han cavalry rushed to more than a hundred steps, getting closer and closer to Tadun's central army. At this time, the barbarian flag beside Tadun and himself were exposed to the sight of the Han generals, especially the horns with five colorful feathers on his head, which were extremely conspicuous.

Perhaps Zhang Liao and Tadun met in a terrified and dazed look in the sky, or perhaps he was staring at Tadun at the first time, but when he saw him riding a horse, he shouted loudly: "The one with feathers in the barbarian thief ahead is the thief Dadun. Who can kill this thief, reward a thousand golds, and be named Wanhu Marquis! The soldiers of Wuwei Camp, follow me to kill——!"

"Kill the thief chief, kill Tadun! Kill." As Zhang Liao made a loud promise, 30,000 Wuwei camp soldiers rushed forward with a scream, riding their horses out of reins, waving their swords or spears one by one, clamoring toward Tadun's rear army.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Since Shang Yang established a tree as his trust, this tried and done method of motivation has been widely used in all walks of life, and the battle on the battlefield is particularly prominent.

This time, Zhang Liao borrowed a chicken to lay eggs and used them again on the already brave and warlike iron cavalry of Wuwei Camp. How effective is it? You can tell at a try.

"Bang bang bang——————————”

In an instant, Zhang Liao took the lead, swung the long-handled sword in his hand like the wind, and swept the thousands of troops and chopped down the three barbarian soldiers in front of him. Then, he saw him slashing the sword with one hand and slashing one barbarian army in half again, and blood plasma splattered everywhere, scaring away two barbarian soldiers who tried to raid him. He swung his swords left and right and fell off his horse.

Zhang Liao, who killed six barbarian soldiers in the blink of an eye, was as brave as the god of killing in hell. He rode his horse into the barbarian army formation, and a sword flew in the air. The barbarian army fell down at a speed visible to the naked eye. The extremely brave formation deeply shocked the fragile hearts of the barbarian soldiers who were not strong. He was full of fear of Zhang Liao who was rushing around, and was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it. No one dared to come forward to stop it. In this way, Zhang Liao was even more capable and was able to handle it. He was like a tiger in the mountains, running wildly and rushing straight towards the many barbarian leaders under the Barbarian Army Commander.

After lurking for nearly half a year, Zhang Liao was indeed so tired that he was always holding back his energy, but he had nowhere to vent. Today, he finally found a breakthrough and had accumulated half a year of killing and anger that had been completely vented. His combat power is so strong that it is conceivable.

Like him, the generals such as Dong Yue and the 30,000 Wuwei Camp cavalry, who were following him, were also holding their anger, fighting spirit, and morale was high. This time, the Wuwei Camp soldiers vented their anger that had been squeezed for a long time on the barbarian army, and burst out with unprecedented brutal combat power. They were as fierce as hungry wolves, opening and closing, and moving forward bravely.

It is worth mentioning that Wuwei Camp is the second combat cavalry battalion under Li Li's command, and one of the three iron cavalry he personally formed and started with. The remaining two combat cavalry battalions are: Longxiang Camp and Pegasus Camp (the predecessor of Feixiong Camp). To this day, Li Li has ten combat cavalry battalions, but the most combat cavalry battalion with the strongest combat cavalry is still these three combat cavalry, followed by Jinqiwei and Huben Camp, and the remaining battalions have equal combat effectiveness. If you have to distinguish between the superiority, then the weakest combat cavalry is the Feiyan Light Cavalry composed of the Black Mountain Army under Zhang Yan's tent. It is precisely because of this that Li Li personally led the army to the east and gave Zhang Yan the task of the Feiyan Light Cavalry under Zhang Yan's tent the heaviest. The purpose is to give them more training opportunities, so that they can grow up quickly, quickly improve their combat effectiveness, and keep up with the pace of other combat cavalry battalions.

Since its establishment, Teng Xiao has served as the commander of the Wuwei Camp, and after countless wars, it is an iron-blooded army that can fight tough battles and win. After the Sili War, a large number of Li Li's close generals, including Teng Xiao, Guo Si, Li Jue, Fan Yong and Teng Yu, all left the main camp and became border guards who guarded the border or stationed in prefectures and counties. Since then, the generals who had always been in the deputy (second line) came to the front stage, got the opportunity to stand alone, got the stage to display their talents, and grew up quickly. Among them, the most respected by Li Li were Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Zhang Yan, and Zhang Liao was even ranked first. Obviously, if Zhang Liao could seize the opportunity, he would become the fifth general in command after Zhou Yu in the future and become the generals.

Now is the best time for Zhang Liao to make achievements and should not be missed; otherwise, I don’t know when the next opportunity will be waiting.

In the rear formation of the barbarian army, Li Li, who was slashing the barbarian army, almost at the same time as Tadun, discovered the arrival of Zhang Liao's army at the same time. Or rather, he didn't have to look at it. Just look up and look at the sky, you will know that the Wuwei Camp of Zhang Liao's troops should have arrived. At the same time, if nothing unexpected happens, another surprise soldier should have appeared. However, this second surprise soldier is not in the east, but behind the central army led by Li Li, he should have come out from the west.

Sure enough, everything was just as Li Li thought.

Just as Zhang Liao led the Wuwei camp to suddenly emerge from behind the barbarian army, a soldier suddenly rushed out of the western mountain road behind the Han army, and directly bypassed the infantry under Tian Yu's command, and rushed straight to the left wing of the barbarian army. The troops were still a cavalry, and its commander was Zhang Yan, the former leader of the Black Mountain Army, who was shouldering heavy responsibilities, and the cavalry he led was Feiyan Light Cavalry.

Amid the sound of "rumbling" horse trampling, Zhang Yan led the Feiyan Light Cavalry to rush into the left wing of the barbarian army with lightning speed and speed, and joined forces with the unparalleled iron cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Ma Dai to encircle the left wing of the barbarian army with an overwhelming superior force, attempting to wipe out them all.

At this point, the barbarian army, which originally had the advantage of military strength, encountered an unprecedented reversal. Before that, the Han army had only 100,000 infantry and cavalry, only 60,000 combat cavalry, and 20,000 Xianbei iron cavalry, and were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. However, with the arrival of Wuwei Camp and Feiyan Light Cavalry, the battlefield situation underwent a fundamental change. The Han army also had an army of 160,000, including 120,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, and were all elite on the battlefield. Compared with the 160,000 barbarian army with varying quality, it is incomparable.

At the same time, the barbarian army had just suffered a heavy blow, losing nearly 100,000 war horses, and its combat power was greatly damaged. As for the more than 100,000 soldiers who were trampled on by the frightened horse, although the soldiers of both armies had casualties and suffered considerable casualties; overall, the casualties of the Han army soldiers were far less than those of the barbarian army.

First of all, the unshuang Iron Cavalry under Zhao Yun's tent did not suffer much casualties, and less than 3,000 soldiers died in Ranma; the Jinqi Guards suffered even smaller casualties, with more than 1,000 people. Together, nearly 5,000 people died under the trampling of horses. The biggest casualties of the Han army were the Youzhou Camp led by Gongsun Zan. The soldiers killed under the horse's hooves. In addition, the previous two hours of fighting, more than 10,000 soldiers were lost one after another, and more than half of the casualties were already injured. In other words, the newly formed Youzhou Camp suffered heavy damage this time, with as many as 70% of the casualties and completely crippled.

Another major casualties in the Han army were the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry led by Kebineng. After the initial besiege by the barbarian army and the subsequent fierce fighting, the casualties of the Xianbei cavalry exceeded 5,000. In the subsequent trampling of the scattered horses, the Xianbei cavalry suffered another catastrophe and almost completely wiped out the entire army. Now the Xianbei cavalry who followed Kebineng to continue fighting was less than 3,000, and they suffered heavy losses. After this battle, the Xianbei in the central part of Kebineng was lost and could no longer cause big waves. If there was no external help, the Xianbei tribe in the central part would be considered a down-and-out and became a middle-class tribe.

As a result, the three soldiers and horses in the Han army lost nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses in total, and the losses were heavy. However, compared with this number, the barbarian army suffered greater casualties, twice as much as the Han army. The barbarian army died under the trampling of frightened horses alone had 60,000 people. Coupled with two hours of desperate battle, the barbarian army suffered no less than 90,000 soldiers and horses. However, at least 60,000 of these 90,000 barbarian troops were children and old people from the barbarian tribes, and the surviving barbarian troops were the elite soldiers of the major tribes.

However, even so, with the sudden participation of Wuwei Camp and Feiyan Light Cavalry, the original military strength advantage of the Barbarian Army was gone, but instead at an absolute disadvantage. As a result, the barbarian army's defeat has emerged, and it is now on the verge of defeat. The trapped beasts are still fighting, and at best they are struggling to death.

"Ah——!" Another shrill scream came from the rear of the barbarian army.

He looked in the screams, but saw Su Puyan, who had just talked in a low voice with Tadun and revealed Li Li's identity, was covering the broken mouth of the left arm that was cut off by Zhang Liao with a knife, and screaming in pain. Just as Zhang Liao tried to kill Su Puyan with one knife, Tadun took action in time and waved his sword to block Zhang Liao's attack, so he fought head-on with Zhang Liao. The two sides fought and fought together, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom for a while, and it was quite evenly matched.

Su Puyan, who escaped by luck, lost his left arm and suffered from pain. After losing his body, he turned over and fell off the horse. However, just as he was lifted by his personal entourage and tried to escape, a fiery red shadow quickly passed by him and forced the two entourages who were supporting him to fly out.

At the same time, when the fiery red shadow passed by Su Puyan, a cold light suddenly appeared, and a dazzling cold light penetrated his neck. Then, a head was thrown high, and the body that had lost its head fell down from the horse's back, and then sprayed out a blood fountain of more than a foot high.

When the fiery red image gradually became clear, it was the Hualiu horse riding by Li Li, and the blade of the golden sword in Li Li's hand was still dripping blood. With one knife, Su Puyan walked into Wu Yan's footsteps, with his body and head different from him.
