Since ancient times, a powerful general has played a great role, but it also has many limitations.
Taking the entire battlefield as an example, Lu Bu's actions just now were like the reincarnation of the "Flying General", which could make Luo Luohu hesitate for a moment, but that was the extent of it.
"Young Master! No, there are too many people in Xianbei!"
Wei Yue rode out from the side on a white horse, came to Zhang Fan's side and shouted.
Zhang Fan was wearing an iron armor, and the long steel spear in his hand passed across the chest of a Xianbei soldier who had just left the camp. He was not in a hurry to kill this person, but knocked over the brazier on the side with the momentum of his horse.
Sparks flew everywhere, and suddenly several more tents were set on fire.
Right now, the entire Xianbei camp is ablaze. As long as we muster the strength to defeat the Xianbei people in the army, great things will happen!
"Quickly kill these hundreds of Han troops!"
Luo Luohu was simply shocked and angry, so he kept shouting for his warriors to come forward.
"Whoever kills one person will be rewarded with a small mouth for ten people!"
For nomadic people like Xianbei, Dingkou is everything. The large number of people represents the strength of a tribe. With such a reward from Luohu, many people have become murderous.
As more and more people rushed forward, Zhang Fan's two to three hundred Han cavalrymen naturally became a little strenuous.
Just kidding, right now they are in the center of the Xianbei people. In addition, they are not strong enough to keep up, and there are Xianbei soldiers who are gradually awakening. If the delay continues, these Xianbei people will be able to trap these Xianbei people alive with spears. A hundred-man Han army.
Looking up, even Lu Bu was surrounded by several Xianbei warriors who were not afraid of life and death.
You're good at fighting, right? Then we don’t believe that we can’t stab you to death with so many of us!
Zhang Fan was already furious. Just when he was determined to lead another wave of Han cavalry with only about a hundred cavalry left, he heard shouts from not far away.
"Young Master! We are here!"
These were the voices of Hao Meng, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Li Su who had set the fire earlier.
"Brother! Young Master!"
This was the voice of Zhang Ping and Cao Xing who came to the city to make peace.
Zhang Fan's heart moved, and he immediately shouted in Xianbei dialect: "Reinforcements have arrived! Follow me and charge!"
Then he clamped the horse's belly and charged towards the large group of Xianbei soldiers in Luoluohu. Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and other hundreds of cavalry beside him followed. Lu Bu also jumped out of the battle group when he saw the attack, and charged without giving in. in front.
Everyone imitated Zhang Fan's words and shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived! Kill the Xianbei dogs!"
The two groups of Han cavalry who gathered from all around also reacted very quickly. Under the command of Zhang Ping, Hao Meng and other generals, they all shouted "Reinforcements have arrived" and charged at the waiting Xianbei Chinese Army regardless of life or death. .
Luo Luohu's face became even more ugly. There were less than a thousand Xianbei soldiers gathered around him, but under the impact of these several groups of Han cavalry, they turned out to be overwhelming.
Hearing the sound, he quickly sensed that even if these three groups of Han cavalry were gathered together, they would only number about 500 people, but he couldn't stand the awkward Xianbei words coming from all directions, which would inevitably cause the Xianbei people to lose their strength. idea.
But as long as they withstand this wave of attacks, the Han army will actually have no strength to charge into the formation.
Thinking of this, just when Luo Luohu was about to speak, he saw the corner of the tent next to him, where Dou Tong's tent used to be.
A tall Xianbei soldier slowly raised his long bow, aimed an arrow at the leader Luo Luohu's back!
...
Zhang Fan led hundreds of cavalry to the Xianbei formation of thousands of people, but suddenly found a commotion in the Xianbei banner - a man who looked like a Xianbei leader was lying on the ground, and there was a gun stuck behind him. Arrows!
Some Xianbei soldiers knelt down in a hurry to rescue them, while others were furious and wanted to kill the Xianbei soldier who had fired a secret arrow...
Chance!
"Fengxian, shoot that big stick!"
Lu Bu understood immediately after hearing this!
I saw him moving as before. Even though the white horse under him was galloping, he still took off the bow from the horse. It was still the arrow in the distance, and the arrow was like a shooting star. Even if it was night, even if Zhang Fan and others were I couldn't see clearly the specific position of the banner, but I could only hear a "pop" sound, and Xianbei's Chinese army flag crashed to the ground!
"Luoluohu is dead! The Xianbei dog has been defeated!"
"Luoluohu is dead! The Xianbei dog has been defeated!"
As Zhang Fan started again, all the Han cavalry repeated their actions, and their morale reached its peak in an instant!
Charge into battle!
Encountered by this situation, the Xianbei people who had been preparing to resist suddenly fell into chaos. Many people turned around and fled, and there was even a tendency of trampling on each other and collapsing.
After all, the big flag behind them and the panicked shouts of the nobles cannot be fake!
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Fan, Lu Bu and other Han soldiers could not endure it. They all forced themselves to cheer up and summoned up the last strength of the night. Even the four hundred cavalrymen of Hao Meng and Zhang Ping who had just gathered together also started to fight. Holding a spear and drawing a knife, he rode his horse directly through the Xianbei people's defensive formation!
The entire Xianbei Chinese army camp was in chaos! But there is no doubt that compared with the momentum of the Han army to survive in death, the collapse of the Xianbei people is inevitable!
Several Xianbei nobles who still wanted to save the defeat were also panicked. They finally managed to hold on and tried to fight back the defeated troops, but their bows and strings were fired, and several Xianbei leaders who shouted loudly fell to the ground immediately.
"Kill! Don't pursue the enemy soldiers too much, just set fire! Burn those flammable wooden fences, burn those haphazardly built tents, and burn the fodder they dry outside! When the fire is strong, this battle will be our victory !”
Zhang Fan bent his bow and arrow and shot several Xianbei people who wanted to fight back again.
This blow completely ended the hopes of the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei soldiers who lost their command had been fighting fiercely here for a long time. After learning that their leader might be dead, they finally lost their will to fight completely.
Whether they were tribal leaders or ordinary soldiers, almost all of them chose their own way to escape. I don't know how many people were trampled to death, and I don't know how many people were overtaken by the Han army behind them and killed with a single blow.
In other words, the collapse of the Xianbei people on the Chinese army's main tent does not necessarily indicate how much the entire Xianbei military strength of 10,000 people has suffered, but the organized Xianbei army that has been able to gather so far is completely gone. It has already gained the initiative on the battlefield.
But Zhang Fan and the others still want to set fire to it!
It would be nonsense to fight at night without setting fires, and setting fires to disrupt the enemy camp was the original strategic goal of this battle.
Moreover, Zhang Fan and the others still have too few troops. So far, of the more than 900 Han cavalry that Zhang Fan originally brought in, there are only less than a hundred left...
...
"Quick, quick, quick! Bring your leader, let's go east quickly!"
At this moment, when the defeat of the Xianbei people has been determined, the one who can calmly command the Xianbei Chinese Army is actually Dou Tong!
Dou Tong was also giving orders in a hurry at this time, and a group of leaderless Xianbei nobles also listened to Dou Tong's words in a daze. Under the desperate resistance of a few personal guards, they were hit by an arrow on their backs and fell into the trap without knowing whether they were alive or dead. He immediately ran away!
Now Dou Tong feels a little regretful. If he had known it, he wouldn't have been able to completely listen to Zhang Fan's words!
He asked Liu Da to respond to the incoming Han cavalry, and he also tried to find a way to light a fire in the Xianbei army's tent, but he never thought that if the Xianbei people retreated, he would be among the rebels. What should I do if I get slashed by a blind Han soldier? It's not impossible for the Xianbei soldiers who were red-eyed to be killed to kill them casually...
You must know that he has truly and completely surrendered to Xianbei now!
There is no reason to pretend to surrender to Xianbei and then return to Yanmen after performing great achievements, because he never thought about returning to Han Dynasty! The great eunuchs Cao Jie and Wang Fu in the court made it clear that they wanted his life.
Outside the Xianbei Great Wall, just be a coward. As long as you can stay alive, you are still more or less a leader.
It was also for this reason that he did not suspect Dou Tong even when the Chinese army was at war in Luoluohu, because he also knew very well that Dou Tong could only stand on Xianbei's side from now on.
Maybe it was the poem that Zhang Fan recited to him when he was saying goodbye to him?
"...
Mr. Dou has endured the dust and dirt, but he has never forgotten his identity.
...
The ambition of the Han family has not been lost, and the blood of our ancestors flows through the ages.
..."
Pooh! Naturally, Dou Tong will not forget his identity as a Han, but the prerequisite is to save his own life!
The Xianbei nobles in Dou Tong's group, who were extremely embarrassed, got on their horses in a hurry and hurried west. If they encountered Han soldiers along the way, loyal and brave Xianbei guards would naturally come out to resist them.
Before leaving, Dou Tong glanced back at a small battle group in the distance that was fighting to the death, his eyes full of complexity.
That Han slave named Gao Shun should be called a Han commoner. Today, Dou Tong had mixed feelings in his heart.
It was Gao Shun who shot Luo Luohu from behind. But after Dou Tong clearly asked Gao Shun to set the fire, he found a place to hide. But who would have thought that he would actually put on Xianbei clothes? , and even hid near the Chinese army's tent.
Dou Tong knew that if it had not been for Gao Shun's arrow today, it would have been extremely difficult for the Han cavalry to break through Xianbei's defensive array of thousands of people. Such a person and his courage would sooner or later become famous all over the world...
Of course, if he survives...
Dou Tong stopped looking and fled for his life under the protection of his family and guests.
Gao Shun once again clenched the sword in his hand, and turned sideways to block the sword from a Xianbei soldier. Then he kicked and slashed, and the Xianbei warrior fell to the ground.
Gao Shun had already killed many Xianbei soldiers who wanted to kill him even if they died. Now these people didn't even want to escape because he shot their leader from behind.
Gao Shun was now exhausted, his vision was getting darker and darker, the wounds on his body were increasing, and the blood flowed continuously, until a young man with a white horse rode up to his side.
"The young Taizu was good at martial arts, and was good at riding and shooting. In the winter of the fourth year of Xiping, Taizu sent thousands of cavalry to attack the Xianbei camp at night. He bravely marched forward and defeated it, which made him famous in Hebei Province." - "Book of Later Jin" Volume 1 "The Chronicles of Gaozu" 》
