Chapter 59: The Battle of the White Wave Valley
After Li Dao and Guo Yan led 20,000 cavalry out of the city from the north gate of Luoyang, they hurried all the way to Baibo Valley, Mrs. Guo's lair.
Guo Taiyin, who was stationed outside the west gate of Luoyang City, did not know the movements of the allied forces, so he did not know that Dong Zhuo had sent troops to raid his hometown.
When Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops to Hedong County, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai, who remained in Baibo Valley, soon received the news.
Knowing that the Xiliang army was coming, Han Xian immediately found Li Le and Hu Cai and said to them: "General Li, General Hu, the spies have come to report, the Xiliang cavalry has reappeared in Hedong County, I estimate that Qu Shuai and they are probably more than lucky, and the strength in our hands is simply not enough to hold the Baibo Valley, I propose to let the old and weak women and children hide in the mountains, and then we will each lead a small force to attack and harass the Xiliang cavalry." ”
After Li Le and Hu Cai listened to Han Xian's words, they agreed very much.
Seeing that Li Le and Hu Cai had no opinions, Han Xian and the others immediately began to relocate the old and weak women and children in the Baibo Valley.
At the same time, when Li Dao and Guo Yan were approaching the Baibo Valley, Li Dao immediately said to Guo Yan: "General Guo, the elite main forces of the Baibo Valley have basically been brought out by Mrs. Guo, and we are facing some old and weak women and children, but the road in the Baibo Valley is rugged, which is not conducive to cavalry charge, I think we can lead the snake out of the hole." ”
"General Li has a good plan?"
"It's not a good strategy, it's just a trick to lure the enemy, we just need to pretend to be the Baibo army, and then pass the news of Guo Tai's siege to the leaders in the Baibo Valley, once they are fooled out of the valley, we can destroy this force in one fell swoop in the plain."
"That's a brilliant plan! Guo Yan was sent by General Li. ”
"Okay, General Guo, you quickly lead a thousand soldiers to pretend to be a rout to lure the enemy army in Baibo Valley."
With a promise, Guo Yan ordered a thousand soldiers and went straight to Baibo Valley.
When Guo Yan entered the Baibo Valley, he found that the Baibo Valley was already empty.
Seeing this situation, Guo Bian immediately sent people around to inquire after a moment.
As the spies finished exploring, Guo Yan also confirmed that there was no Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley.
Immediately after, Guo Yan immediately led his troops to turn back.
When Han Xian, who was hidden, saw a White Wave army entering the valley and then immediately turned back, he immediately understood that this White Wave Army was pretending to be the Xiliang Army, because the real White Wave Army would definitely be able to find their hidden location.
After confirming that Guo Yan's troops were enemy troops, Han Xian immediately sent people to contact Li Le and Hu Cai, and asked them to send troops to ambush Guo Yan.
When Li Le and Hu Cai received the news of Han Xian one after another, they immediately began to organize their troops and rush to Guo Yan's way back.
Because Li Le and Hu Cai took the shortcut to the mountain road, they preemptively blocked Guo Yan's inevitable road and ambushed them.
At the same time, Han Xian's ministry has also been following behind Guo Yanbu.
Besides, when Guo Yan rushed back, his heart suddenly tightened, and Guo Yan, who was very trusting of his fate, immediately raised the vigilance of his subordinates.
When Guo Yanbu came to the mouth of the Baibo Valley, Li Le and Hu Caibu, who had already been ambushed, suddenly attacked.
Seeing Bai Bojun appear, Guo Yan hurriedly shouted: "I am the general under Qu Shuai, who is the person blocking the road in front?" ”
When Li Le and Hu Cai heard Guo Yan's words, they immediately burst out laughing.
Seeing this situation, Guo Bian's heart was very puzzled, but soon, Li Le solved Guo Yan's doubts, because Li Le replied loudly: "Xiliang dog thief, how can my Baibo army soldiers not know our specific location, after you enter the camp, you will leave immediately, how can it be me and other friendly troops?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Guo Yan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he immediately drew his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, the enemy has seen through General Li's plan, and quickly follow me to kill him." ”
After receiving the order, the Xiliang army immediately roared and charged at Li Le and Hu Caibu.
Li Le and Hu Cai saw that Guo Yan's troops had launched a charge, and they immediately led their troops to rush over.
Soon, the Xiliang Army and the Yellow Turban Army fought each other.
The two armies had just fought fiercely for a while, and Han Xian's troops also followed and killed Guo Yan.
When Guo Yan learned that there were enemy troops behind him, he knew that he could not fight for long.
Immediately after, Guo Yan hurriedly ordered an all-out breakthrough.
Although most of the Xiliang soldiers were good at horse warfare, their infantry combat ability was actually not weak, so after they received Guo Yan's order to break through, they quickly became overwhelmed.
Seeing that the offensive of the Xiliang army was very sharp, Han Xian immediately notified Li Le and Hu Cai to tell them not to fight to the death, so as not to cause more losses.
After receiving Han Xian's notice, Li Le and Hu Cai also opened a gap in the situation.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was exposed, Guo Yan immediately led his troops to rush out.
Out of Baibo Valley, when Guo Yan turned around and found that there were only more than 200 people behind him, he said very resentfully: "Baibo Army, I will pay back this account sooner or later." ”
Subsequently, Guo Yan led his troops back to Li Wei's camp.
When Li Wei learned of Guo Yan's return, he immediately came to the camp to greet him.
When Li Wei saw Guo Yan returning with more than 200 people in a disgraced face, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "General Guo, what's wrong with you?" ”
"General Li, I was ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army."
"What? How so? ”
"General Li, the yellow scarves in this Baibo Valley are very cunning, they deliberately put on an empty appearance for me to put on the set, I am very cautious or on the road."
"General Guo, what's going on?"
Guo Yan immediately recounted the events after he entered the valley.
After listening to Guo Yan's narration, Li Dao suddenly said with annoyance: "It's my fault!" General Guo was tired. ”
"General Li, now that the Yellow Turban in Baibo Valley has lost its whereabouts, how should we complete the task given to us by the main bus next?"
"General Guo, I still need to think about this matter, you can go back to the camp and clean it first." Guo Yan agreed to come down and went to the camp.
After Guo Yan left, Li Wei thought about how to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley.
At the same time, after Dong Zhuo recuperated in the city, he immediately led his troops out of the city to attack Guo Taibu.
When Mrs. Guo saw Dong Zhuo's army attacking, he was really taken aback, because he felt that the princes of the East were holding him back, and Dong Zhuo would never raise troops to attack him, but this was not the case.
In the face of the charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, although Guo Tai knew that he was not an opponent, it was difficult for him to retreat, and in desperation, Guo Tai had to fight with the Xiliang Army.
But soon, Guo Tai was defeated, because he did not have a general under his command who could fight against Lu Bu.
Seeing that the army had been defeated and retreated, Mrs. Guo had to desperately flee to Baibo Valley, because he didn't want to die at the hands of Dong Zhuo.
Besides, after Dong Zhuo saw that Guo Taibu was defeated and retreated, he immediately ordered the army to try to catch it alive, because he wanted to use the Baibo Army to recover the casualties of his battle with the allies, so Dong Zhuo gave Guo Tai a good chance to escape.
After Guo Tai left the battlefield with a few personal soldiers, he continued to walk towards Baibo Valley non-stop.
As for Dong Zhuo, he also successfully recruited more than 20,000 Baibo soldiers after fighting with the Baibo Army for a while.
