When Qu Yi failed to behead Chen Chong and returned to the army, he soon learned the news that the Eastern Army had made a breakthrough on the southern battlefield. Although the battlefields on both sides were extremely far apart, about ten miles away, Qu Yi still seemed to see To the earth-shattering charge on the southern battlefield.
He was looking at the red flags gathering in Chen Chong's army across the way, and imagining the Eastern Army's cavalry surging all over the mountains and fields to the south. Qu Yi felt that the unwillingness he had just calmed down was suddenly agitated again, a kind of The murderous heart holding a sharp weapon in his hand was like smoke and dust rising into the sky in the battlefield of Pingcheng.
Qu Yi pointed to the smoky battlefield to the south and couldn't help but said to his subordinates: "The marshal is indeed easy to arrange, but if I hadn't seized the opportunity to break through Chen Chong's formation, what chance would I have had of winning this battle? Now let's let him When this embarrassed kid regains his breath and regains his momentum, aren't you afraid that he will counterattack and destroy the flank? By then it will be too late to regret!"
Therefore, he sent Qu Guang as a cavalry envoy to Cao Cao to ask for reinforcements. He suggested that he let Liu Bei go first and send troops to attack Chen Chong in the north together. When Cao Cao heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh. He guided Qu Guang to look at the battlefield to the south. He saw that the formation of the Western Army had completely collapsed and was constantly running to the west. The chasing Eastern Army was also continuously lengthening the front line. , regardless of the beginning or end, just like the Western Army in the battle of Huoshibu, it also gradually broke up the organization.
Then Cao Cao said: "In such a situation, the general is in chaos. How can I mobilize troops for him? I can only take advantage of the victory and pursue him in a hurry, without giving the Western thieves any chance to breathe. Tell Da Sima that I will keep his merits in mind. Don’t leave your post without authorization, I will definitely give you a generous reward after the battle!”
But Qu Guang still hesitated and said: "But there are many Western troops in the north, and many of them have iron armor and crossbows. I am afraid that the elites will gather here and overwhelm the few with their numbers. I am afraid that I will not be able to stop the Western thieves!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao slapped his sword and laughed. He confidently said to Qu Guang: "Go back and tell Da Sima that the Xianbei people have just returned their report, saying that the army is less than twenty miles away from here. If you go back now, you will be able to get there soon." Seeing Hulu’s banner, if we all attack together at that time, isn’t there a high chance of victory?”
Qu Guang was also overjoyed and immediately rode back to report the news to Qu Yi. When he rushed back to the battlefield in the north, he saw some figures appearing on the bank of Wenying Lake in the north. Slowly, more flags and horses appeared on the east bank of the lake. Under the sunlight, the armored horses shone brightly. With their multiple reflections in the lake, it seemed as if they were flying towards an endless sea of light.
Both the Westerners and the Easterners saw them stopping by the lake. They did not rush to join the battlefield, but were slowly forming formation. Qu Yi was very excited when he saw this. He called a military commander named Peng Ming over and told him: "Tell Shan Yu the news of our army's great victory in the south and say that as long as the Westerners continue to harm this formation, they will be defeated." Then we can break it in one fell swoop, and then all the lands occupied by Yanmen and the Southern Xiongnu will be owned by Xianbei." This was also Cao Cao's previous promise to Ke Bineng, and Qu Yi's mention of it now was just a restatement of the old covenant.
Qu Yi's words were quite brisk. When he thought about it, the outcome of the battlefield was already clear. Kebi could beat the Westerners at this time. It was as simple as stealing a sheep. In this way, he could obtain a large area of land and slaves. How could he sit back and watch? reason? Peng Ming thought so too, so after receiving the military order, he quickly rode his horse to the north.
The Xianbei people's formation was less than two miles away from the battlefield, so Peng Ming arrived at the Xianbei army in almost the same time as a stick of incense. Kebineng was obviously well prepared. His brother Ju Luohou was waiting here. When he learned that the Eastern Army had an envoy coming, he naturally led the way and directly met Kebineng who was scanning the battlefield.
Among the dense crowd, the heroic Xianbei Chanyu stood out like a chicken, dazzling with brilliance. When Peng Ming first saw him, he met Ke Bineng's eyes and was immediately frightened by his power. Then he naturally bowed and fell to the ground. Before he could speak, Ke Bineng asked in Chinese: "I heard that Marshal Cao has won a great victory in the south? Why is there a stalemate here?"
Peng Ming immediately replied: "The marshal is taking advantage of the victory to pursue the pursuit, and that's all. That's why we bother the Chanyu! As long as the Chanyu sends troops to attack this place together, the Western Army will be defeated here. By then, Pingcheng, Mayi, Meiji, etc. Aren’t all places owned by Shanyu? By then, the two countries will achieve the great cause of pacifying the world through the alliance of brothers. This will be a good story that can be passed down through the ages!"
After he finished speaking, Ke Bi was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Get up." Just as Peng Ming thought Ke Bi would do it next
When the general was ready to send out troops, Xianbei Chanyu said again: "We came to help because we thought that the Western bandits would be difficult to control and would endanger our hearts and minds. But since the general has won a great victory, I can't bear to send all the troops to the army just for this small credit." I just threw it here."
This statement shocked Peng Ming, and the tribesmen around Kebineng couldn't help but make a noise. After all, these words clearly stated his attitude: The Xianbei people will refuse to fight against the Dong people when they already have an absolute advantage. The Westerners exterminated them all, and at the same time refused Cao Cao's reward.
Speaking of this, Kebi Neng sent people to send Peng Ming out of the army without waiting for his refutation. Peng Ming yelled and cursed all the way, but he couldn't make Kebi Neng waver in the slightest. After Peng Ming gave up completely and turned around to return to life. Ju Luohou came back and asked his brother: "Since you can gain a thousand miles of land in one battle, why don't you take it?"
Kebi Neng gently turned the riding whip in his hand and replied: "If the Westerners had not been so defeated, it would not be a bad idea to seize thousands of miles of land. After all, this Pingcheng is the old capital of Kuitou, and occupying it can also show the legitimacy." But if the Westerners wipe out this place and Cao Cao mixes it with the Han Kingdom, then if I get this city, I will be sitting on the fire."
Marquis Juluo suddenly understood: before, the East and West dynasties were balanced, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner. Only Xianbei could profit from it and grow stronger. However, if one of them was allowed to dominate and become unified, Xianbei would also lose its space for development, and it would not be able to develop in the future. There is no guarantee that Cao Cao will not attack him. After all, the Northern Xiongnu fled into the river, and Duan Jun slaughtered the Western Qiang, which happened in the past few decades. It’s not surprising that Kebi can use this as a lesson.
Therefore, Kebi Neng told the generals his plan: "Now that Liu Bei has been defeated, Chen Chong cannot kill anymore. If he can return with his whole army, the situation can be stabilized. Even if Cao Cao turns against the enemy, it will be difficult to swallow Guanlong." That’s a great opportunity for our country’s development.”
At this moment, the surprised silence in front of the Xianbei army also attracted Chen Chong's attention.
At this time, he had just clamped his broken right hand with a branch, and then looked at the battle situation on a hill. When the Wuyangyang Xianbei army arrived, he could feel the breathing of his generals briefly stagnant. Its military power was like a towering mountain, pressing on the heartstrings of the Westerners. After all, any action of this army may lead to decisive changes in the situation of the war.
But now, after the army formed its formation, it stayed at the bank of Wenying Lake for a long time. There was no sound of trumpets or drums, just like the silent rocks on the Baishan Mountain behind them. This attitude made Chen Chong hesitant.
According to Chen Chong's original formation design, why can't the left formation move rashly? The core is to prevent the Xianbei attack from the north. When the right army was defeated, Chen Chong also stayed on the sidelines because Xianbei's actions were unclear.
In an ideal situation, the Zuo army would be on the defensive and wait for the Xianbei and Dongren to launch a charge. After the battle line was opened, the most elite Shanglin army could strike back and cut the enemy army into two sections with sudden cavalry. Then, using the Nanfu army as the anvil and the Shanglin army as the hammer, they turned the invading enemy into powder in one fell swoop. But now that the Xianbei army has fallen into silence, the original design has lost its meaning.
Chen Chong stared at the Xianbei army with a forest of flags not far away, thinking that he must discern the enemy's intentions: Did they see through his own arrangement and set a trap instead? Or simply unwilling to contribute to Cao Cao? If he engages in battle with the Eastern Army, how will they react?
Time is running out, and the situation of the right army's collapse has also reached the ears of the left sergeant. Even though the formation has been stabilized again, the morale of the army has begun to waver. This requires Chen Chong to make a quick decision, either to counterattack immediately to reverse the situation, or to With a quick withdrawal, we might be able to save most of the right army.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Due to their weakness, the two armies slowly separated and broke away from the battle. It was clear that the Xianbei army came from the north, which was enough to seal the victory, but at this time there was no sign of progress. The three parties formed an extremely subtle confrontation. Everyone held their breath and became quiet, so that there seemed to be rumors in the air that the Westerners from the south were escaping. , the sound of East people chasing and killing.
However, in an instant, the drums of the Western Army were beating loudly, and a black torrent broke the silence, rushing past the south bank of Wenying Lake. The ups and downs of human heads and horse heads stirred up huge clouds of yellow dust, like huge waves rolling over the lake shore. It passed directly through the gap between Xianbei and the Dongren, and slapped the stunned Dongren army. The wave instantly turned into a sharp knife, tearing a hole in Dongren's unprepared formation and inserting it straight in.
When the people in the East saw that the leading flag was a large flag with the word "Guan" on the bottom, they couldn't help but turned pale and said in shock: "No, it's Guan Tiger who is coming!" Guan Yu's reputation gave them a chill, and they retreated one after another, making sounds like There was a sound like a landslide, and everyone turned around and ran away. Then it wrapped up the Eastern Army behind it along the way, forming a more powerful torrent, rushing all the way north, making the Eastern Army generals unable to stop it. In the end, even Qu Yi, who was trying to counterattack, was driven by this torrent and turned around to flee.
The Xianbei army on the side was like the rocks on the side of the flood, unmoved by it. Even though the Eastern Army was gradually defeated, the Xianbei people had no intention of helping them. Instead, they slowly retreated and completely separated from Wenying Lake. battlefield.
It was already noon, and the development of the battle situation had completely deviated from the pre-war expectations of the generals on both sides.
