Chapter 329 Murong Ping shoots Zhao Yun with an arrow
Given the ruthless blows Yuan Shao and the Southern Army encountered when attacking Huguan, Gongsun Zan never thought of sending his ten thousand white horses under him to the bottom of Huguan, and reaping all the complete harvest by the guards at the Guanguan with ruthless arrows. Baima Yicon is definitely a cavalry unit that looks down on the Northeast, but when they face the ten-foot-high Huguan, they can only sigh at Guan and be at a loss.
It was originally an incredible thing to attack the pass with the cavalry, but Gongsun Zan actually did it. So what was Gongsun Zan's idea? It was related to Zhao Xing. Who made Zhao Xing have such a good relationship with Liu Dai that made Gongsun Zan feel a crisis?
When Liu Dai went to Beijing to pay his condolences, he took a special detour to the Shangdang and Zhao Xing. After the court issued a proclamation to fight against Zhao, he found one kind of excuse and refused to send troops, which was clearly unwilling to make trouble for Zhao Xing. Once Bingzhou survived this crisis, one day the troops entered Jizhou and dealt with Yuan Shao, Youzhou would become a natural goal. At that time, I am afraid that Liu Dai would directly join Zhao Xing's arms, and where should Gongsun Zan go?
It was precisely because of the potential crisis that Gongsun Zan did not hesitate to fight against Zhao Xing, but also had to bite the bullet and lead 10,000 people to Huguan. He pressed Bao on the side of the court and the coalition forces. According to the current situation in the world, it is difficult for a hundred people to find one who defeated Bingzhou to win. It is understandable that Gongsun Zan did this.
Although he put his treasure on the side of the imperial coalition, it does not mean that he would have to pay his entire family under Huguan. Therefore, when Gongsun Zan led the army to attack Huguan, he played a trick that the coalition soldiers did not expect.
It has been recorded in the previous article that when the Yellow Turban Army besieged Taocheng, the Taocheng where Zhao Xing was located, a half-month gambling under Taocheng (see Chapter 136). At that time, the two parties participating in the war agreed in advance that they would not actually kill people with knives, but only used wooden swords and guns to compete. After the round after round of competitions, the side with a large number of people left won, and the winning side could deal with the failed side, but could not kill the prisoners.
Gongsun Zan was preparing to use this method, and Zhao Yun, who had been determined to be on the verge of the gate, would definitely accept this kind of fighting method. Because with the pride and confidence of the Bingzhou Army, he would never be afraid of any one-to-one fighting or head-on battle, which could be traced from many battle examples.
Gongsun Zan didn't care about the winning or losing of the battle, because he never thought that the battle would really continue. As long as he could lure Zhao Yun to the bottom of the gate, when the two sides were fighting, Murong Ping, who was ambushed in the crowd, shot Zhao Yun with an arrow, and the subsequent battle would lose its meaning.
At that time, once Zhao Yun dies, will all the soldiers guarding the pass be dispatched to avenge Zhao Yun? Even if they come out to avenge Zhao Yun, the two-legged infantry can still run through the four-legged cavalry? Even if they are scolded as shameless or untrustworthy, Gongsun Zan can catch a bad guy afterwards as a scapegoat and kill the servant in front of the world. Anyway, Huguan had fallen into the hands of the coalition forces at that time, so why not say it was a matter of talking!
This strategy has been deeply rooted in Zhao Xing's "beheading operation", which is insidious and vicious. If it is successful, it will win the greatest victory at the lowest price. No one can imagine how many days can I hold on to Huguan without Zhao Yun!
Regarding the "beheading operation", Zhao Xing has made a special discussion. The key to his success or failure lies in two aspects: one is to determine the position of the enemy's head, and the other is to rely on the ability of specific operation personnel. Zhao Yun fought alone under Huguan, while Wen Chou and two generals of the coalition forces are now known, so the first factor has been achieved; so the second factor in carrying out this operation, namely, Murong Ping's ability?
Regarding Murong Ping, there is a record in history books: one of Yuan Shao's tiger generals was extremely skilled in archery. When Zhao Yun picked Zhang He by guns, Murong Ping shot an arrow secretly and saved Zhang He. Later, he was eventually killed by Zhao Yun with a green jar sword.
Although Murong Ping's record is only a few forty words, it reveals a key information: his archery skills are superb and he can save Zhang He in front of Zhao Yun, who is known as a sharpshooter. It can be seen that his shooting skills are absolutely excellent. Perhaps he could have been among the five major shooting skills. It is just because he died too early that he is not known to the world, but he is definitely a general worthy of memory and imagination of future generations.
On the morning of the next day, Gongsun Zan really came to Huguan alone and asked Zhao Yun, the chief guard of the pass, to come forward to answer. Zhao Yun naturally would not be afraid of anyone. He stood above the pass, but wanted to see what tricks Gongsun Zan could do.
When Gongsun Zan saw Zhao Yun appearing at Huguan, he shouted: "Su Wen General Zhao Xing loves soldiers like his sons. He never wants his brothers to suffer more casualties. Now I am here to break through the pass under the order of the court, and I do not want the soldiers on both sides to sacrifice more. Therefore, he proposed a solution that is the best of both worlds. I wonder if General Zhao dares to agree!"
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was not in a hurry to take action or turn against him, Zhao Yun asked, "Please ask General Gongsun to explain in detail. If it is reasonable, Yun will naturally agree!"
Seeing that Zhao Yun did not refuse at all, Gongsun Zan continued: "In the past, the Yellow Turban Rebellion Army besieged Taocheng. Zhao Guochang once reached an agreement with the Yellow Turban Army. Each time he sent a hundred people to fight, the two sides only used wooden swords and wooden guns, but did not cause casualties among soldiers and soldiers. It was a good story for a while. I wonder if the general dared to fight like this?"
Zhao Yun was a little surprised when Gongsun Zan made this suggestion, so he said: "This method is certainly acceptable, but what is the price of the winner or loser?"
"If I am the one who is in victory, the vanguard army will withdraw from Huguan and look for their own place; if I am in defeat, the white horse will withdraw from Youzhou and no longer seek trouble!" Gongsun Zan said confidently.
"Okay, it's up to you! Please arrange troops and let the vanguard army come to the gate to learn more!" Zhao Yun felt that this idea was good, so he agreed readily. He had absolute confidence in the vanguard army and the others. As long as he did not compete with the Crouching Tiger Army, the infantry in the world could defeat the vanguard army, and he had never encountered it.
According to the agreement, the two sides began a hundred-person battle. All soldiers who failed during the battle had red dots on their foreheads to distinguish them. In the first three games, the vanguard army used infantry against the cavalry, and in one to one, they won three consecutive victories. Although the victory was very tragic, the soldiers of the vanguard army were finally standing on the court. So Gongsun Zan, who was a little "angry and angry", made an appointment to fight Zhao Yun, and each led 100 people to fight. Zhao Yun carried forward the spirit of the knight and came to Xiaguan to fight Gongsun Zan.
Murong Ping, who had already changed his clothes, pretended to be an ordinary soldier and rode on a horse, hiding at the end of a hundred white horse Yicong who were preparing to participate in the battle. He glanced at him a few times and locked on Zhao Yun who appeared from the closing door.
This is the difference between a master and a low-level player. Murong Ping knew that Zhao Yun was superb in martial arts, so he did not stare at Zhao Yun, because he knew that even if he was hiding at the end of the team, with Zhao Yun's martial arts level, as long as he was stared at for a while, he would have a sense of it. In this way, he would be alarmed and would ruin a big deal. Furthermore, with Murong Ping's shooting skills, as long as he looked at it, he would not need to look more, and he could quickly lock the target in the moment of the final shooting.
With the command of the main generals of both sides, the soldiers on the field rushed up to the other side roared and rushed forward. The already brave vanguard soldiers, led by the main general Zhao Yun, had a higher morale. When facing the fiercely pounced on the cavalry, they immediately formed a solid defensive formation, guarding the main general Zhao Yun in the middle, waiting for the speed of the cavalry to drop, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack violently.
Sure enough, facing the iron hedgehog that had been tempered for thousands of times, even if Gongsun Zan was personally leading the team, Baima Yicong still couldn't break through the defense line of the vanguard army. Gradually, Baima Yicong lost his patience and began to retreat backwards, preparing to launch another attack. At this moment, Zhao Yun immediately issued a counterattack order, and the vanguard soldiers who had just been tightening together immediately dispersed and launched an attack on Baima Yicong who had retreated backwards.
Zhao Yun also chased Gongsun Zan with a wooden gun. When he was about to catch up with Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun raised the wooden gun in his hand and stabbed Gongsun Zan's back. At this moment, the chaotic white horse came from behind and suddenly made a sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air. A sharp arrow shot towards Zhao Yun's left chest in an instant. Zhao Yun, who had already raised the wooden gun, had no time to dodge, covered his chest and fell off his horse.
