Chapter 316 Ji Bu and Ying Bu
Chapter 315: Ji Bu and Ying Bu
In ancient wars, if a large army is compared to a warrior, the spies are the eyes of the warrior.
After entering Hulao Pass, Qin Hao found that the quality of the Han army's spies was extremely poor. Otherwise, Xiang Yu would have easily eliminated all the spies outside the pass without any reaction, and then calmly attacked Hulao Pass at night.
It is never too late to make amends after a lost cause.
After discovering this, Qin Hao immediately replaced the original light and dark spies with spies from the Yanmen Army in order to prevent being attacked by the Yellow Turbans again.
Qin Hao can trust the quality of the Yanmen Army's spies, but that doesn't mean there are no flaws at all. However, it is certain that like when the 30,000-strong army arrived at Hulao Pass without anyone noticing, It will never happen.
After hearing the news that Dong Zhuo was ambushed and Dong Li died in battle, Li Ru hurriedly stood up and said: "My lord is trapped and in danger. Please ask the governor to send troops to rescue him quickly."
After the brief shock, Qin Wen quickly regained his composure, and after a little thought, he made a decision. After all, Dong Zhuo was the commander of the 30,000 Hedong Army, so he absolutely had to save him.
Qin Wen immediately slammed the table angrily and said: "Hao'er, all the cavalry are under your command, so you should send troops to rescue quickly."
"Yes, father." Qin Hao responded and immediately ordered: "Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, order you two to quickly lead three thousand Qingqi to rescue, and be sure to rescue Governor Dong."
If you can bypass the spies of the Yanmen Army and ambush a thousand Hedong cavalry while responding to Xiang Yu, then the number of people in the ambush must be small.
Qin Hao estimated that there were only a thousand men at most, otherwise it would be impossible to hide from the spies of the Yanmen Army, so sending three thousand cavalry was more than enough.
“No!” The two generals looked at each other and responded at the same time, then strode away.
Looking at the back of the second general leaving, Qin Hao sighed, feeling that the burden on his body was extremely heavy.
Xiang Yu's conspiracy, the millions of Yellow Turban troops, hey, the situation is almost out of control. Qin Hao thought secretly.
The efficiency of the Yanmen Army is not comparable to other troops. After Qin Hao's military order was issued, before Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong arrived at the city gate, three thousand light cavalry had been assembled and ready to go out at any time.
The Yanmen Army has two thousand infantry battalions and three thousand cavalry battalions. The three thousand light cavalry rescued this time are Qin Qiong's troops.
Qin Qiong was originally Zhang Liao's deputy general. He was greatly influenced by Zhang Liao, so he had great experience in attacking. Among the ten cavalry battalions sent out this time, his battalion was one of the best in terms of speed.
Three thousand cavalrymen came out with great fanfare, but with the crisis ahead, no one knew how long Dong Zhuo could hold out, so Qin Qiong could not control so much.
Qin Qiong thought it would take a fierce battle to rescue Dong Zhuo, but before he could reach the ambush site, he ran into the remnants of the Hedong army that broke out.
There were only a few dozen people left in the remnant army. Most of the generals of the Hedong Army were there, including Dong Zhuo, who was in extremely poor condition. He looked crazy, with blood-red eyes, and kept shouting for revenge.
"Hua Xiong, if you don't let me go, I will kill you. I want to avenge you, I want to kill Xiang Yu..."
“My lord, the young master is dead.”
Hua Xiong hugged Dong Zhuo tightly and said bitterly: "If you throw yourself into a trap again, my sacrifice will be in vain!"
But because of Dong Zhuo's death, Dong Zhuo had lost his mind and would not listen to Hua Xiong. However, Hua Xiong was not stupid, so no matter how Dong Zhuo threatened, Hua Xiong would not let go.
Yu Chigong had a good personal relationship with Zhao Yun, but when he saw that he was not in the team, he quickly pulled over a soldier and asked eagerly: "Where is Zilong?"
The eyes of the Hedong soldiers were full of reverence, and they quickly explained the reasons why Zhao Yun was not in the team. It turns out that although Xiang Yu's horse, Taxue Wuzui, is a divine horse, it has also consumed a lot of energy in successive battles, so it is no longer as fast as before.
With the speed of Tuxuewuzui at that time, Dong Zhuo riding a red rabbit horse and Zhao Yun riding a jade lion that illuminates the night can easily catch up with Xiang Yu.
However, Dong Zhuo was afraid of Xiang Yu's power, so he naturally did not dare to face Xiang Yu directly. However, Zhao Yun was preparing to catch up with Xiang Yu on his own, but Dong Zhuo wanted to monopolize the power of killing Xiang Yu, so he stopped Zhao Yun from going. In desperation, Zhao Yun also Just obey.
To be on the safe side, Dong Zhuo had more than a thousand cavalry chase Xiang Yu for fifty miles, and finally caught up with Xiang Yu in a valley.
Just when Dong Zhuo was so confident that he could definitely kill Xiang Yu this time, the cooked duck flew away again.
At the critical moment, Ji Buyingbu, who was brought out by Jing Tianming and assigned to Xiang Yu's command, rushed out in time to relieve Xiang Yu.
Each of them led 500 men and horses, and set up ambush in front and behind the valley in advance. As soon as the Han army arrived, they immediately showed their fangs.
In this narrow valley, the Hedong cavalry were like targets, unable to hide even if they wanted to.
With only two or three rounds of arrows, nearly half of the Hedong cavalry fell off their horses. Dong Li also used his body to block his father's arrows and died after being hit by more than ten arrows.
After a moment of panic, Hua Xiong reacted and organized the remaining troops to prepare for a breakout, but at this time Ji Bu and Ying Bu led the ambush troops to fight out.
Facing a double attack from two generals, the Hedong Army was surrounded and the breakout operation was extremely difficult.
The spies of the Yanmen Army nearby noticed the fighting here and immediately sent the information back, and the battle here was about to come to an end.
Xiang Yu had no fighting power, so he left the ambush site directly without staying any longer.
Under the joint attack of Ji Bu and Ying Bu, the Hedong Army suffered heavy casualties. However, with the desperate support of Zhao Yun and most of the generals, Dong Zhuo finally broke out with great difficulty.
"Why isn't that Zilong here?" Yuchi Gong was even more confused and asked quickly: "Didn't he come out too?"
“General Zhao Yun said he was going to rescue the besieged brothers, so he turned back to fight back!”
"What?"
Yu Chigong's eyes wide open to the boss, he doesn't understand why Zhao Yun would take such a big risk to rescue the remaining soldiers of the Hedong Army?
A flash of light flashed in Qin Qiong's eyes, and he immediately shouted: "The whole army will set off immediately."
Yu Chigong couldn't understand Zhao Yun's intention, how could he, Qin Qiong, not understand.
The ambush site is not far from Hulao Pass. Zhao Yun is sure that the surrounding sentries will be able to detect the movement here, and reinforcements will arrive soon, so he must want to use the remaining troops in Hedong to delay time, and then wipe out the ambush.
Qin Qiong's guess was correct. Zhao Yun had this purpose and was leading less than a hundred Hedong soldiers to resist to the death.
Seeing Zhao Yun guarding the eighty or ninety remnants of the army by himself, Ji Bu's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Listen, that Han general, the Emperor of Han is stupid and immoral. With your martial arts, why would you serve such a stupid emperor?" Ji Bu stood up and loudly persuaded you to surrender: "As long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, I, Ji Bu, promise to personally defeat you." You recommend it to a great teacher.”
