Chapter 404: Where is the army of Chen State going?
Huang Zhong is also a man of a long battle. He also participated in the war to destroy the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng during the Zhongping period. Now that time has changed, among the generals and officials of various counties in the Han Dynasty, Huang Zhong is also an old man based on his age.
Huang Zhong can naturally see clearly what kind of people on the battlefield and what position they are in the army. Even in the dark, even if only fire is used as the source of light, Huang Zhong can still see clearly.
Even though Zhang Liao did not intend to fight him, he said he would stop the other party.
While running, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and looked at the army that blocked him.
He quickly understood Huang Zhong's intention.
Zhang Liao raised the long sword in his hand high and shouted: "Soldiers don't have to be afraid. The opponent's hastily organized no formation to rely on and has no fighting spirit. He cannot issue orders. He is just a sign of it. We just need to conflict, conflict, conflict is... and fight out!"
With Zhang Liao's shouting, the cavalrymen following him were also shouting loudly, repeating Zhang Liao's words, conveying his shouting to the rear.
In this way, the Zhang Liao army, which was clashing outside, quickly realized Zhang Liao's meaning and began to step up, following the cross-blocking army formation arranged by Zhang Liao towards Huang Zhong.
This is actually an easy thing for Zhang Liao to think clearly.
Our strategic intentions were clear from the beginning. We had made careful combat and retreat plans a few days ago, and we would adopt different response methods according to different situations.
On the other hand, Huang Zhong led his troops in a hurry, and all his subordinates were temporarily arranged according to Zhang Liao's actions.
This is not because Huang Zhong's ability is not good, but because Zhang Liao had already taken a lead when he attacked Liu Chong at night. The chain reaction caused by this lead on the battlefield was that Liu Chong, even Huang Zhong's next steps must follow Zhang Liao closely.
One step slow, one step slow.
Huang Zhong had just changed his formation and defended his troops because he thought Zhang Liao wanted to take the lead in attacking the formation, but in fact, Zhang Liao just shot a shot. After all Huang Zhong's soldiers turned into a guardian formation, he turned to retreat and led his troops to clash out from the east of the circular army defended by the enemy infantry.
Of course, this is also the reason why the cavalry under Zhang Liao's command is too powerful.
Under such circumstances, Huang Zhong could not quickly draw the most elite soldiers to the east to arrange troops and intercept Zhang Liao's way.
Therefore, the roadblocking soldier he built now is just temporary, and it seems that Zhang Liao is just showing nothing.
Since ancient times, except for wars that hold on to the city blocks as barriers, the preparation work required by the side of the field defense array is generally more than twice as much as the side attacking.
Because of this, the requirements for field defense personnel are extremely high in terms of quality, military weapons, timing, etc.
Soon, Zhang Liao's army rushed to Huang Zhong and others...
"Kill here!"
The two armies collided, and a huge roar sounded, making a loud noise that shook the earth. Then they saw the soldiers of Bingzhou army rushing through the embankment like floods. In an instant, they opened a huge gap in the camp of Huang Zhong and other soldiers blocking the road. Bingzhou soldiers rushed out of the enemy formation with a roar and momentum wrapped in thunder.
The defensive line temporarily built by Huang Zhong has no meaning to the Bingzhou Army at the moment.
But Huang Zhong is also a man who has been through the battlefield for a long time. He naturally knew that this defensive line could not stop the Bingzhou Army's retreat route.
In that case, what is his purpose in doing this?
It's very simple. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to keep Zhang Liao when he was trying to stop the enemy's pace.
When the Bingzhou Army thought they had indeed rushed out of the enemy's temporary defense line, Huang Zhong's opportunity appeared.
He rode his horse towards the enemy's army, and the figure he had already aimed at rang out.
"Don't leave! Leave your head!"
Huang Zhong's roar shook the sky and the earth, and resounded through the eardrums of the people around him.
Zhang Liao's horse racing speed did not slow down, but he had already raised the long knife in his hand, narrowed his eyes and rushed towards Huang Zhong who was running towards him!
Since you are going to fight, then come on.
Two horses intersect, one move to confront each other!
Two swords instantly passed through the air between the battlefields, and they interspered with each other, leaving a faint sense of blood in the air.
Zhang Liao rode his horse and ran away to the far away place, and was submerged in the dark night with other Bingzhou troops.
Huang Zhong ran away and retreated to the side. He looked helplessly at the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army running towards the east like a tide, sighing.
Under the cover on his back, the brocade robe seemed to have been cut into a big hole.
Huang Zhong reached out and touched his wardrobe, and a hint of worry rose in his eyes.
Huang Zhong had tried his best with his sword just now, and his angle was tricky. He had been planning for a long time, but he still couldn't keep Zhang Liao.
But Huang Zhong could feel that he still hurt him slightly.
Unfortunately, it was only a little hurting the other party, which was meaningless for this battle.
However, among the generals under Dong Zhuo, this not-so-famous Zhang Liao had such skills. What kind of abilities should the other generals of the Western Liang army have?
Huang Zhong took a deep breath and said, "I don't expect that all the people under Dong Zhuo are all good generals, so this battle may be difficult to fight..."
...
Zhang Liao retreated, and he was wiped by Huang Zhong's sword and suffered some minor injuries, but it did not affect the overall situation.
In the battle tonight, the Bingzhou army won a great victory and achieved their desired goal.
Compared with Zhang Liao's injuries, the results of this battle are enough to cover up everything.
The sword that he just cuts King Chen is enough to make him famous all over the world.
After the Bingzhou army evacuated, Huang Zhong and Xun You immediately led the crowd to assist the soldiers of Chen State to extinguish the fire and assist in the rescue of Liu Chong and others.
When he learned that Liu Chong was seriously injured, Huang Zhong and Xun You were both shocked, and anxiety suddenly surged into his heart.
After settled the soldiers of Chen State, Huang Zhong immediately consulted Xun You.
"Mr. Gongda, after this battle, the morale of the soldiers of Chen State was low. King Chen himself was seriously injured and unconscious. Now he should send King Chen back to Luoyang quickly, otherwise he might have been delayed for a long time. When Dong Zhuo's team arrived, his situation was very dangerous."
Xun You also seemed a little hesitant and said, "At this time, if you want to retreat to Luoyang, with Dong Zhuo's nature, you may also send troops to attack Luoyang suddenly. With King Chen's current injuries, Luoyang is afraid that it will not be safe."
"What should I do?" Huang Zhong was a little impatient when he heard this: "Will you just waste it like this?"
"At this time, if you can persuade King Chen to retreat to Hanzhong along Xunyang North Mountain, you will be the best plan. Only by entering Hanzhong will Dong Zhuo be unable to attack." Xun You said seriously.
Huang Zhong hesitated for a while and said, "You and I will go to the tent of the commander to discuss this matter with Prime Minister Luo Guozhang."
...
When they were young, the two entered the tent together and asked to see Luo Jun.
Luo Jun is the prime minister of Chen State, Liu Chong's most capable arm, and the person he trusts the most.
At present, Liu Chong was seriously injured and unconscious, and the soldiers of the three armies were unattended. Naturally, all matters would be handed over to Luo Jun to preside over the presidency.
At present, the medical officer of Chen State was sitting there to take the pulse of King Chen Liu Chong, while Liu Chong had a high fever and his face turned pale. He lay on the bed and said something tremblingly and could not hear clearly.
Luo Jun stood by the bed with a gloomy face, looking very anxious.
Xun You walked forward, stood beside Luo Jun, and whispered: "Xiangjun, how is the injury of the king?"
Luo Jun shook his head in pain and sighed: "The injury has been bandaged, and both external and internal medicine have been used... but the king is too old and the injury is too serious. I am afraid... I am afraid... Alas!"
Xun You also sighed with regret, and a sadness appeared on his face.
