Chapter 316 Ji Bu and Ying Bu
Chapter 315: Ji Bu and Ying Bu
In ancient wars, if an army was compared to a warrior, then the spy was the eye of the warrior.
After entering Hulao Pass, Qin Hao found that the quality of the Han army spies was extremely poor. Otherwise, Xiang Yu would have easily cleared all the spies outside the pass without any reaction, and then calmly attacked Hulao Pass at night.
It is not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep.
After discovering this, Qin Hao immediately replaced the original spies of the light and darkness with spies of the Yanmen Army in order to prevent being attacked by the Yellow Turban again.
Qin Hao can trust the quality of the Yanmen Army spy, but it does not mean that there is no gap. However, it is certain that the situation like the previous 30,000 troops, which came to Hulao Pass without aware of the cat, would never happen.
After hearing that Dong Zhuo was ambushed and Dong Chu died in battle, Li Ru hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord is trapped and in danger. Please send troops to rescue him quickly."
After a brief shock, Qin Wen quickly recovered from calmness, and made a decision after a little contemplation in his heart. After all, Dong Zhuo was the commander of the 30,000 Hedong Army, so he must never fail to save him.
Qin Wen immediately slapped the table angrily and said, "Hao''er, all the cavalry are under your command, so you can send soldiers and generals to rescue you."
"Yes, father." Qin Hao responded and immediately ordered: "Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, please order you to lead three thousand light cavalry to rescue quickly, and be sure to save the prefect Dong."
If you can pass the secret spies who bypass the Yanmen Army and ambush a thousand Hedong cavalry while responding to Xiang Yu, then the number of people ambushed is definitely not large.
Qin Hao estimated that there were only one thousand people at most, otherwise it would be impossible to hide from the spies of the Yanmen Army, so it was more than enough to send 3,000 cavalrymen.
"No!" The two generals looked at each other and responded at the same time, then left with great strides.
Looking at the back of the second general, Qin Hao sighed, feeling that the burden on his body was extremely heavy.
Xiang Yu''s conspiracy, the million-dollar Yellow Turban army, hey, the situation is almost out of control. Qin Hao said in his heart.
The efficiency of the Yanmen Army is beyond the comparison of other troops. After the Qin Hao army order was issued, before Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong arrived at the city gate, three thousand light cavalry had already assembled and could go to war at any time.
The Yanmen Army infantry is one battalion, and the cavalry is three thousand battalion. The three thousand light cavalry rescued this time are the troops under Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong was originally Zhang Liao''s deputy general and was greatly influenced by Zhang Liao, so he had great experience in raiding. Among the tenth battalion cavalry that went on expedition this time, his battalion was one of the best in terms of speed.
The three thousand cavalrymen made great noises in the east, but no one knows how long Dong Zhuo can last, so Qin Qiong can''t control so much.
Qin Qiong originally thought that it would take a fierce battle to rescue Dong Zhuo, but who thought that before he arrived at the ambush site, he bumped into the Hedong remnants who broke out.
There were only dozens of people left in the remnant army, most of the Hedong Army generals were there, and Dong Zhuo was in very poor condition, his whole body was crazy, his eyes were blood red, and his mouth kept shouting to take revenge.
"Huaxiong, if I don''t let go of my words, I will kill you. I want to avenge my family. I want to kill Xiang Yu..."
"Lord, the young master is dead."
Hua Xiong hugged Dong Zhuo and said in pain: "If you go to the trap again, then the young master''s sacrifice will be in vain!"
But because of Dong Chu''s death, Dong Zhuo has lost his mind and will not listen to Hua Xiong. However, Hua Xiong is not stupid, so no matter how Dong Zhuo threatens, Hua Xiong just refuses to let go.
Yuchi Gong and Zhao Yun had a good personal relationship, but seeing that they were not in the team, he quickly pulled a soldier and asked anxiously: "Why Zilong?"
The soldiers in Hedong''s eyes were full of respect and quickly told me the reason why Zhao Yun was not in the team. It turns out that although Xiang Yu''s mount, Xuewu, was a divine horse, consumed a lot of energy in succession of battles, so he did not have the speed before.
At the speed of the snow-treated Wuzhi at that time, Dong Zhuo riding a red rabbit horse, and Zhao Yun, who possesses the Zhaoye Jade Lion, could easily catch up with Xiang Yu.
But Dong Zhuo was afraid of Xiang Yu''s divine power, so he naturally did not dare to face Xiang Yu directly. Zhao Yun was preparing to chase after Xiang Yu alone, but Dong Zhuo wanted to monopolize the killing of Xiang Yu and stopped Zhao Yun from leaving. In desperation, Zhao Yun had no choice but to obey.
To be on the safe side, Dong Zhuo asked more than a thousand cavalry to chase Xiang Yu for fifty miles, and finally caught up with Xiang Yu in a valley.
Just when Dong Zhuo was overwhelmed with confidence and felt that he would definitely be able to kill Xiang Yu this time, but the cooked duck flew again.
At the critical moment, Ji Buyingbu, who was carried out by Jing Tianming and divided into Xiang Yu''s command, broke out in time to meet Xiang Yu.
The two of them each led 500 troops and set up ambush in advance in front of and behind the valley. The Han army immediately showed its fangs as soon as it arrived.
In this narrow valley, the Hedong cavalry was like a target, and they had nowhere to hide even if they wanted to.
With only two or three rounds of arrows, the Hedong cavalry fell nearly half of the horse, and Dong Qi also died after weighing more than ten arrows because he used his body to block arrows for his father.
After a panic, Hua Xiong reacted and organized the remnants of troops to prepare for a breakthrough, but at this time Ji Bu and Ying Bu led the ambush out.
Faced with the two generals'' attacks, the Hedong Army was surrounded and the breakthrough was extremely difficult.
After detecting the war here, the spies from the Yanmen Army around immediately sent the information back, and the war here was about to come to an end.
Xiang Yu no longer had the combat power, so he did not stay for more, but left the ambush site directly.
Under the joint attack of Ji Bu and Ying Bu, the Hedong Army suffered heavy casualties, but Dong Zhuo, with the desperate protection of Zhao Yun and most generals, finally broke out with great success.
"Why isn''t Zilong here?" Yuchi Gong was even more confused and asked quickly, "Didn''t he come out too?"
"General Zhao Yun said he wanted to save the besieged brothers, so he turned back and killed him!"
"What?"
Yuchi Gong''s eyes were like a boss, and he didn''t understand why Zhao Yun took such a big risk and rescued the remaining soldiers of the Hedong Army?
A glimmer flashed in Qin Qiong''s eyes, and he immediately drank: "The whole army sets off immediately."
Yuchi Gong couldn''t understand Zhao Yun''s intention, so how could he, Qin Qiong, not understand?
The ambush location is not far from Hulao Pass. Zhao Yun is sure that the surrounding guard posts can detect the movement here, and reinforcements will arrive soon, so he must have wanted to use this part of the Hedong remnants to delay time and then wipe out the ambush.
Qin Qiong guessed that this was the purpose of Zhao Yun and was leading less than 100 Hedong soldiers to resist to the death.
Seeing Zhao Yun protecting the eighty or ninety remaining troops on his own, a trace of admiration flashed in Ji Bu''s eyes.
"That Han general listens, the Han Emperor is incompetent. Why do you have to be loyal to such a foolish emperor with your martial arts?" Ji Bu stood up and shouted and persuaded him: "As long as you are willing to put down your weapons and surrender, I, Ji Bu, promised that you will personally recommend you to the great wise mentor."
