Chapter 111: Zhang Jiao defeated Dong Zhongying, Liu Bei rescued the Han army
Now that the strategy had been agreed, Zhang Jiao ordered the soldiers who went out of the city to attack the enemy army to hurry up and rest, and left the city on all sides to be guarded by other soldiers!
At three o'clock the next day, the 100,000 troops in Guangzong City were ready, and the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao also sat on the war horse, and after waiting here for a while, Zhang Jiao slowly said a word to set off, and the 100,000 army went quietly like the South Gate and the West Gate respectively!
Zhang Liang led 30,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers out of the city and killed directly to Dong Zhuo's camp, and no one was titled, and he was not afraid that Dong Zhuo would know, but it was only a distance of five or six miles, and after a while, the Yellow Turban wrestlers entered Dong Zhuo's military camp.
Therefore, after most of the battle, the Han army gradually fell out, and at this time, Bu Si and Ma Yiyuan, who were besieging both sides of Dong Zhuo's army, gradually shrank their defensive lines. Although Dong Zhuo relied on the exhausted Han army to resist Dong Zhuojun.
It's just that what surprised Dong Zhuo was that Xu Rong didn't lead the army to the rescue at all, and what made Dong Zhuo even more unexpected was that just when he was fighting fiercely with the army led by Zhang Liang, a Yellow Turban army came out from behind it, although the equipment was disorganized, but there were 100,000 people.
With the help of these 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, Dong Zhuo's camp was instantly defeated, and Dong Zhuo led the elite soldiers to break through to the west gate of Guangzong City, and the rest of the Han soldiers followed.
At this time, Xu Rong led the army to confront Zhang Jiao, although Xu Rong had already heard the sound of battle at the south gate, but Zhang Jiao neither fought nor retreated.
Xu Rong also attacked tentatively twice, and when Zhang Jiao saw Xu Rong attacking, he retreated directly into the city. When Xu Rong was about to retreat, Zhang Jiao led his troops to follow; And Xu Rong attacked the city, and the city wall was heavily guarded. Helpless, Xu Rong could only confront Zhang Jiao.
However, Dong Zhuo led less than 20,000 troops to rush towards Xu Rong's army, Xu Rong had no choice but to contain it, but Zhang Jiao seized the opportunity to attack Xu Rong's rear with an army of 30,000 at once.
Under the siege of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang on both sides, Xu Rong was defeated and fled all the way west by Dong Zhuo.
And this Yellow Turban thief army who rushed to Guangzong City was none other than Bo Cai, who was burned down by Northern Emperor Fu Song.
Bocai traveled all the way north, and all the counties along the road were swept by him, and along the road, Bocai coerced the refugees to eliminate the old and weak, and in two months, he actually gathered 100,000 elites! These 100,000 elites are all young and strong, but the weapons are a little worse.
Bo Cai was just in time for Zhang Jiao to fight Dong Zhuo, and when he was excited, he led an army of 100,000 to attack Dong Zhuo's rear army, and then followed Dong Zhuo!
At this time, Huangfu Song needed to settle down in the counties along the way, but he was still three or four days away from Guangzong!
………………………………
As early as when Dong Zhuo and Zhang Liang were together, Liu Bei had already received a report from the scouts, but because the north and east gates were well defended, Liu Bei had no chance to take the opportunity to capture the city gate.
Therefore, Liu Bei gathered 3,000 cavalry, quietly evacuated the two large camps in the east and north, and then quietly marched to the west gate, but saw Xu Rong and Zhang Jiao facing each other, so Liu Bei lurked and waited for the opportunity to see if he could sneak attack Zhang Jiao.
It's just that what we waited for was Dong Zhuo's great rout, and Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang led about 200,000 troops to directly pursue Dong Zhuo.
"Lord, Dong Zhuo didn't listen to the advice of the lord, he deserved to be defeated every time!" Zhang Fei did say with a gloating face.
"Yide, don't talk like that, after all, it's all for the sake of the big man." Liu Bei reprimanded, but he was helpless in his heart, this Zhang Fei is really like what was said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, straight and straight, and will not be flexible. Although Liu Bei reprimanded, he didn't have much anger.
"It's just that now how good we are, this Dong Zhuo is saving or remedy. If so, how should I save it? "It was Lu Bu who spoke!
"Salvation must be saved, after all, they are all Han soldiers, but what I am thinking about is to rescue Dong Zhuo's army, and it is best to drive these 200,000 troops into the city."
"If you can't trap these hundreds of thousands of gold thieves in Guangzong City, it will be a catastrophe for the Han Dynasty for a long time!" Liu Bei said sadly, and a few tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
In the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, they admired Liu Bei even more! At the same time, Zhang Liao suggested.
"Lord, it's not difficult to rescue Dong Zhuo, the thieves are all foot soldiers, and the lord has more than 3,000 cavalry, and there are 500 tiger and leopard cavalry elites, if you attack from behind the thief army and penetrate the thief army, the thief army will be in chaos, and Dong Zhuo will be saved by the lord."
"I just want to drive all the 200,000 thieves back to the city, but my subordinates can't think of a way!"
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Liu Bei also nodded, "Indeed, I also have a headache for this!" ”
"Please also ask the lord to give an order quickly, otherwise in a while, Dong Zhuo's house will be wiped out by the thief army." But it was Guan Yu who hurriedly said!
"That's it, that's it, save Dong Zhuo first! The whole army obeyed the order, got on the horse, and followed me to attack the thief formation! Liu Bei shook his head and said!
After that, Liu Bei led Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao to lead 3,500 cavalry on the horse, and the Yellow Turban thief army left!
………………………
Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang pursued Dong Zhuo directly at the forefront, and there were no scouts to tell Zhang Jiao that Liu Bei led the army to leave the camp. Not to mention Bu Si, Ma Yiyuan and Bo Cai, who are still in the rear army!
When Liu Bei led more than 3,000 cavalry to kill the rear army of the Golden Thief Army like a sharp knife, and then the speed did not slow down and still kept killing the front army.
However, the Yellow Turban Rear Army turned all the way on their backs, wailing continuously, and so far the rear army of the three of them had a sneak attack by the Han army, so they led the elite place to try to besiege Liu Bei and others.
It's just that how can Bo Cai and the others resist Lu Bu and other peerless generals?
Bocai encountered Guan Yu, and was cut in half by Guan Yu's hand; Ma Yiyuan met Zhang Fei and was pierced by Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spears, and then was picked out and flown out; Bu Si met Zhang Liao, and as soon as the two met, they were killed by Zhang Liao.
Seeing that Guan Yu and the others were so brave, and seeing countless casualties on their side, the Yellow Turban Thieves of the Rear Army lost their backbone and fighting spirit, and countless people knelt on the ground and begged to surrender!
But Liu Bei did not pause at all, so he directly led the army to directly pursue Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang again, and at this time Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang also knew the battle situation of the rear army, and considering the bravery of Liu Bei's cavalry, they stopped pursuing Dong Zhuo, put down the formation, and used the Yellow Turban Warriors as the middle army, trying to resist Liu Bei's cavalry!
After half a pillar of incense, Liu Bei killed through the rear army, and directly saw the formation of Zhang Jiao, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong! But at this time, there is no way, the reason why the cavalry is strong is mainly because of the impact brought by its extremely strong speed!
"Brothers, follow me to attack the enemy formation, this time he will either die or we will die, as long as we break through the enemy formation, we will win!" Thinking about this, Liu Bei shouted loudly on the horse!
"Fight, fight, fight, we swear to follow the general to the death, and fight to the death with the thief and enemy!" The cavalry behind Liu Bei rode his horse again and again, and shouted again and again.
The three thousand cavalry did not pause, and rushed into the Yellow Turban Warrior Formation like an ironclad torrent, with five hundred tigers and leopards as sharp knives, even though the Yellow Turban Warrior was the strongest elite in the Yellow Turban Army, but it could not withstand the heavily armed Liu Bei's army.
At the cost of more than 3,000 cavalry and 1,000 casualties, Liu Bei finally broke through the Yellow Turban Force. Seeing this, Zhang Jiao knew that he could no longer follow Dong Zhuo today, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops and set up camp outside Guangzong City, but he and Guangzong City were each other's horns.
Zhang Jiao entered the city to command the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong's city, while outside the city, Zhang Liang commanded less than 200,000 troops!
However, Liu Bei and Dong Zhuojun wanted to pick up, "Thank you Xuande this time, otherwise this old bone for my brother will be lost here!" As soon as Dong Zhuo saw Liu Bei, he cried bitterly and said.
"Brother Zhong Ying, don't be like this, this time the five armies have been defeated, and the soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and you need to hurry up to the imperial court for help, otherwise, this Guangzong Zhang Jiao will become a big disaster!" Liu Bei said earnestly!
"What Xuande said is that I have arranged for an eight-hundred-mile urgent battle report to the imperial court overnight, but what should we do now?" Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked!
At this time, Li Ru was still a Beijing official and was not under Dong Zhuo's account.
"Understand my lord, this time only by garrisoning outside the city of Guangzong, strictly guarding against confrontation with Zhang Jiao, and not taking the initiative to attack again, when the imperial court reinforcements arrive, can we be in a fight with the thief army!" Liu Bei hurriedly suggested.
"Well, that's all there is to it." After that, Dong Zhuoquan ordered to set up camp and strictly guard against Zhang Jiao with an army of more than 30,000 people!
