Zhao Yun's voice arrived before he arrived, and his powerful roar was like a dragon's roar. His sound wave with a unique frequency was like a sharp blade, shattering the noisy fighting in the valley.
The soldiers of the Wei army reacted like animals with a stress response. The attack state immediately showed an unnatural state. In addition, Yang Qiu asked the archers to shoot randomly. The soldiers of the Wei army invariably slowed down the offensive. Huang Zhong, who was surrounded, suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.
Yang Qiu was anxious to watch the battle from a high place, and saw that Huang Zhong's followers were getting fewer and fewer. However, the encircling soldiers were driven back by Zhao Yun's roar, and the military formation suddenly moved randomly, blocking the sight of the archers behind him.
The opportunity to kill Huang Zhong was right in front of him. Once it was lost, it would never come back. Even if he knew how to dance on the tip of the knife, Yang Qiu was still brave and wanted to take the risk. He rushed into the rebel army with his horse and killed several people with his own hands. The pawn who retreated shouted loudly: "Anyone who retreats again will suffer the same fate. Come to me."
The general took the place of the supervisor and personally went to 'enforce the law'. The soldiers of the Wei army could only move forward bravely, but before they had taken a few steps forward, they heard Yang Qiu's magical voice: "Where are the archers? Keep firing arrows. "
The Wei soldiers who ran to the front instantly became a moving target. Yang Qiu's superior maneuvers directly caused the soldiers to struggle collectively. If they retreated, they would be punished by military law. If they moved forward, they would have to fight the Han army desperately, and it would also be easy to eat their own flying enemies. arrow.
Caught between a rock and a hard place and still asking for survival, Wei Bing went through a painful struggle and finally screamed and yelled crazily, but collectively chose to slow down his pace.
How could Yang Qiu tolerate this? After killing several soldiers in succession to "enforce the law" to establish their authority, the Wei soldiers passively "evolved" into Lamo's donkeys. Every time the general "enforced the law", they would move quickly, and then slow down again after a round of arrows.
After several repetitions, Zhao Yun's front reinforcements arrived, which put great pressure on the Wei soldiers on the southern front, and soon they fled. At this time, Yang Qiu could no longer kill anyone.
"General, it's better to withdraw first, otherwise it will be too late." The deputy general held Yang Qiu's hand and suggested.
Yang Qiu's eyes were red just now, but now he suddenly woke up. He sat on his horse and looked to the south. He saw that the formation was in chaos, and the Wei army officers and soldiers were collapsing towards the center position. He was so angry that he swung his riding whip down. Loudly shouted the word Wei Bing wanted to hear most: "Withdraw."
Before leaving, Yang Qiu glanced regretfully toward the southeast.
Only a few feet away, Huang Zhong's guards were less than a hundred horses left, but it was a pity that Yang Qiu could not get this credit.
"Quickly retreat." The moment Yang Qiu turned around, the surroundings were already crowded with deserters.
The Han army in the rear took advantage of the situation to pursue and cover up the enemy, leaving the Wei soldiers scurrying around like headless flies. Because the retreat was so hasty, the structure of each battalion was instantly disrupted. The deserters without restraint completely blocked the cavalry path. In addition, there were many infantry and few cavalry. , making the cavalry stand out among the crowd.
The Han army's shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, but the Wei cavalry sitting on the horse passively slowed down. Seeing this, Yang Qiu could only raise the butcher knife again and ordered the guards to cut out the way.
At this time, General Pi Zhang pointed forward and reminded Huang Zhong: "The one wearing purple robe is Yang Qiu. The old general can pass through Yang at a hundred steps, why not shoot him?"
The distance between the two sides was more than a hundred steps, but Huang Zhong was quite confident in his physical strength and bow skills. He thought that he might not be able to catch Yang Qiu, so shooting him directly would be an option. Thinking of this, he threw the big knife to Zhang Zhang and took it off his waist. The carved bow is held in the hand.
With a whooshing sound, three feather arrows flew out at the same time. Yang Qiu, who was a hundred steps away, hit all three arrows. One of them hit the back of the neck. Then his eyes went black and he fell off his horse. Finally, he was trampled into the mud by deserters and war horses.
"General, you will always be strong, and your magical arrows will be invincible." Zhang Zhang quickly clasped his fists in joy.
Huang Zhong seemed dissatisfied. He shook his head and said, "The distance is still far away. Otherwise, I would shoot three arrows with one string, and how could only one hit the vital point?"
"Uh, your knife." Zhang Zhang was speechless and quickly handed over the big knife. He said to himself that it's really annoying to compare people to others. Isn't this a proper way to show off your skills?
Huang Zhong held the knife in his hand and pointed forward and ordered: "The enemy chief is dead. You continue to hunt. I will go and thank Zilong."
"Wei." He opened his fists.
An hour later, calm returned to the banks of the Jing River. Yang Qiu and half of the soldiers fell in the river valley. The rest of the defeated soldiers struggled to escape and rushed to Yinpan County.
There was only a trace of light left in the sky, and the Han soldiers took advantage of the dark to clear the battlefield. If Huang Zhong hadn't let the cavalry chase them, they should have camped a few miles behind to rest. However, the current situation is that the follow-up main force and supply ships have not yet arrived. , Zhao Yun could only choose a camping location in advance, and had to complete the camping in the dark at night.
Huang Zhong came to Zhao Yun in shame, apologized and thanked him again: "I was reckless today. If Zilong hadn't come to help in time, Yang Qiu would have gained my white head, and you would be the main general in the following battles. "
"The old general's shooting of Yang Qiu can be regarded as a way to make up for the situation. It doesn't matter whether the general is in charge or not. There will be no mistakes if we all discuss it." Zhao Yun smiled openly.
"Yang Qiu is just a small fish. He has to kill Zhang He and Cao Zhen to be considered a meritorious service." Huang Zhong said seriously.
Zhao Yun nodded, "Cao Zhen and Zhang He are not ordinary people, so there is no need to rush."
"Well, Zhang He's fellow is retreating to Yinpan in front. I wonder if Zilong has any clever plan to break the city?" Huang Zhong asked.
"The march passed by the mouth of Nihe (Malian River) in the morning. I have left hundreds of people to set up sentries, which is equivalent to cutting off the supply of Cao Zhen's northern county. Anding County has more soldiers but less food. Zhang He may not be able to trap the isolated city. Let's start with military food. You can defeat the enemy." Zhao Yun stroked his beard and analyzed.
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly: "I have been fighting with Your Majesty for so many years, and this battle feels the easiest. I can actually defeat the enemy by setting up a pot and cooking soup."
"This is also due to the fact that we have enough food, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use this strategy. Mr. Ziyu is really a hero." Zhao Yun looked into the distance and sighed.
Huang Zhong nodded in agreement: "What Zilong said reminds me of the years when I captured Jiangling with my husband. It was also very relaxing and comfortable. My husband guarded Yangzhou and looked at Huainan. I think he is even busier than when he was in Jiaozhou. I wonder if we will see each other again in this life."
"The situation in the world is now very different. The Cao Wei family is no longer the dominant one. After we completely pacify Yongliang, it will only be a matter of time before we destroy Wei. The old general is strong and strong. I think it is not a problem to live for another twenty years. Then The world has been settled for a long time, so why worry about not being able to meet your husband?" Zhao Yun consoled him.
"That makes sense, I'll try to live as long as I can." Huang Zhong is now in his seventies, and he thinks that living for another twenty years is too much. If he can live for five more years, it is considered a mercy from God.
The army arrived at the assembly point shortly after nightfall. The Han army then lit torches and set up camp to rest. The soldiers were very tired after marching for a day, so they were not in a hurry to set off the next day.
When the sun rose, there was only a little smoke in the camp.
As soon as the guard brought the hot porridge to Zhao Yun, he saw Huang Zhong walking in, his face seemed a little ugly.
"It's daybreak, why didn't Zilong wake me up?" Huang Zhong complained as he walked.
