Chapter 349: Take most of the Shangdang County

Zhang Yang wanted to give a speech to boost morale, saying that he would advance and retreat with the 2,000 Xiliang army.

I saw that Tong Yuan's army had already rushed over, and specially surrounded Cui Yong's 2,000 people, and even interspersed directly from his side.

Those Xiliang troops saw that the main general Cui Yong was killed in one round, and the other party came towards them specifically, and most of them had no intention of fighting, so they ran away.

Where did Yu Poison and Xu Huang give them a chance? The heavy infantry relied on their armor and attacked directly head-on, wielding specially strengthened mountain halberds to kill anyone who dared to resist and move like chopping melons and vegetables.

A group of lightly armed mountain infantry interspersed between the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, regardless of whether Zhang Yang behind him would make a move, directly surrounded the panicked Xiliang Army.

Two hundred cavalry archers quickly attacked, chasing and killing the fleeing Xiliang army. Even though the number of people fleeing is larger, it is estimated that it is difficult to find many fish to slip through the net in such a situation.

Zhang Yang was a little frightened when he saw the momentum of the Xinxi Liangjun chopping melons and vegetables.

Forty percent of his subordinates are in the lineage, and it is even more than one thing is better than one less thing. Six became county soldiers, and he was tired of Cui Yongxi's tyranny on weekdays, and he had a bit of a schadenfreude idea.

Zhang Yang saw that the army's heart was unstable and did not dare to urge the order forward. Just in front of the battle, Yang Fu rushed to the front of the battle and said, "Please ask Mrs. Zhang to guard the eldest son of the division, cut off with Yuan Shao as soon as possible, and follow the court is the right way." ”

Zhang Yang didn't dare to be tough, said a few perfunctory words, and hurriedly led the army to retreat.

He's fed up, Yuan Shao and Tong Yuan are not easy to mess with, it's too painful to be caught between giants.

In the future, he simply took refuge in his good brother Lu Bu. If he could, he could also take advantage of Tong Yuan and Yuan Shao to fight, and he and LΓΌ Bu flanked Cao Cao and fought for the complete occupation of Yanzhou.

What did he win over Cui Yong before and dominate Shangdang County, but now it's ridiculous to think about it. That Cui Yong's martial arts are the best for him here, but he can be killed by Xu Huang in one round.

His battle-hardened and well-equipped soldiers and horses were all gone in a short moment just now.

Monsters, they're all monsters. Only Lu Bu can control them

Not long after, Zhang Yang fled back to Changzi County.

He welcomed Zhang Yang's line into the city, but blocked the county soldiers from entering, and then launched an ambush, killed Zhang Yang with his own hands, and controlled the rebellion of the eldest son county.

He immediately welcomed the Xinxi Liang army into the city, and falsely passed on Zhang Yang's orders, deceived the county officials, and put them under house arrest.

The counties in the south, under the leadership of Haoqiang, responded directly. Yang Chou of Tunliu County in the north also directly responded with troops.

Guo Tu was quite strategic, noticed Yang Chou's strange appearance, and escaped in advance and survived.

Although Huguan was still in the hands of the trial, Yuan Shao's army instantly lost the entire Shangdang County except Huguan and Lu County.

A large amount of Yuan Shaojun's supplies fell into the hands of the enemy, and thousands of soldiers were easily captured because they were defenseless. Huguan faced the threat of poison, stubbornness, and Yang Chou's soldiers and horses, and completely fell into passivity.

After Guo Tu fled back to Huguan, he cared about the army and Yuan Tan, leaving behind the trial to guard the crumbling Huguan and Luxian, and went north overnight to report the situation.

However, faster than Guo Tu are Tong Yuan, Xu Huang, Yang Fu and others.

After they raised troops in Zhenggu and Yang Chou, they let Yu Poison control the core of Shangdang County and command the soldiers and horses to attack and match.

Then go north to Xiangyuan County, converge the 12th Brigade that has not participated in the battle and the various Haoqiang and Wubao forces, and attack the logistics troops of the Yuan army as high-profile as possible, creating a trend of encirclement and annihilation.

Guo Tu himself was almost caught, but fortunately he had the skill to get out, and hurriedly drilled into the Taihang Mountain in the east, and then took the mountain road, went north along the Qingzhang River, and joined Yuan Tan's army.

Yuan Tan and the others were about to continue to attack north, but when they heard that the rear had been lost, they immediately exploded.

Guo Tulang said, "This Gu is a Montenegrin bandit, Zhang Yang Wufu, who doesn't know anyone, but suffers from it." The entire Shangdang County has been in chaos, small groups have risen in various places, and our army must retreat. ”

Yuan Tan was a little worried, he didn't save Zhang Yang after all, I don't know if it will become a black spot. However, Guo Tu's statement puts all the blame on Zhang Yang, which is not a clever plan.

Wen Chou was bent on the war, and felt that although the party was in chaos, the situation was not necessarily irreparable.

He said, "We have more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, why don't we kill them in one fell swoop and recapture Shangdang?" ”

Wen Chou had a loud voice, and he was a well-known general in the army, as soon as he said this, Yuan Tan shook again.

Xin Ping knew what Yuan Tan and Guo Tu thought, and retorted, "General Wen is brave and invincible, but soldiers need food to fight." ”

Wen Chou despised the idea of Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others retreating,

He said angrily: "Not all of our army's food depends on Shangdang County for supply!" In addition to those that were robbed, there were also Huguan and the Shehou State where Zhang He was located, both of which could be used to receive the counterattack of the army. ”

Xin Ping was also an upright person, and he replied loudly, "How can the life of the eldest son and more than 70,000 troops be risked? Fighting a war is not enough for a military general to fight and rush! ”

"Our army should immediately go east, only a hundred miles away, the Jizhou Plain, and another fifty miles, Zhaojun Xiangguo. This is the quickest way to get out of danger, and it's not too late to get there and ask the lord again. ”

Wen Chou will say: "Isn't your plan to escape?" ”

Yan Liang also said, "No! My army is obviously in an advantageous position, so it won't make people laugh to death if they run away directly, and I think we have to go south to kill back. ”

Yan Liang and Wen Chou both decided to go south, and most of the other generals also agreed.

Although there were not too many people supporting Xin Ping's plan to retreat directly to the east, Jiang Yiqu, a general with a steady opinion, also had the same idea, so he echoed a few words.

However, going south is not necessarily a direct return kill, but also to the southeast of Shexian County.

Guo Tu thought to himself, not to mention providing food and grass support to the army, it is doubtful whether he can hold it even if he can defend the current offensive of Yu Poison, Zheng Gu, Yang Chou and others.

He was really frightened when he fled all the way, so it was better not to go to Huguan and Tunliu to fight the same way, and it was safer to retreat to the Houguo in the rear.

He was very good at internal vertical and horizontal skills, and pretended to be calm and said, "What the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou said is very true, our army is indeed going south. However, Xin Zhongzhi also has a point, fighting a war cannot be fought only by courage, and grain and grass are very important. ”

"Just imagine our soldiers, when they heard that Zhang Yang was dead, the way back has been cut off, and they must have no intention of fighting. In this case, it is not the best idea to go head-to-head. Therefore, we can't go back to Huguan and Tunliu the same way. ”

Wen Chou asked, "How do you do that?" Could it be that Guo Jianjun's army is also going to retreat eastward? ”

Guo Tu smiled and shook his head, and said quite seriously, "In the direction of Huguan, it is difficult to support it alone, and it is estimated that he will not be able to stand it before our army arrives." ”

"The Shehou State in the southeast, although it is located in the Taihang Mountains, can be attacked and defended, and there are Zhang He's soldiers and horses and abundant grain and grass, our army should advance to the Shehou State."

Guo Tu spoke very skillfully, he did not say retreat, but used to advance, and also emphasized that the Marquis State has grain and grass, and Zhang He has soldiers and horses, which can both attack and retreat. At once, they won the advance and retreat.
