Chapter Seventy-Five: Ambush on All Sides
Chun Yuqiong is addicted to alcohol, which is well-known in Yuan Shaojun, Yuan Shao turns a blind eye to this old guy and old partner most of the time, after all, he was the eighth captain of Xiyuan. This night, Chun Yuqiong's subordinates curry favor with him, get a few jars of burning knives, Chun Yuqiong drank happily and happily, but accidentally got drunk, received Yuan Shaojun's order, Chun Yuqiong in a daze drank enough white water, turned over on the horse, and ran towards Yangxiang.
Liu Ze was very happy tonight, he had been holding each other for more than four months, and finally seized the opportunity, the battle had a turning point, and breaking Yuan Shao was just around the corner. At this time, the scout came to report that reinforcements from Yuan's army were found in front. Liu Ze asked, "Is there a fork in the road to avoid reinforcements?" The scout said: "Back to Ming Gong, there is a road to avoid reinforcements, but you need to cross the holy water before you can return to our army's camp." Liu Ze waved his hand, ordered the scout to retreat, and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, how to choose?" Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened slightly, and he said angrily: "I regard Yuan Jun, the native chicken and the dog." Liu Ze looked back and saw that the morale was high and he could still fight, so he said loudly: "When the two armies meet, the brave wins, and the soldiers, charge with me." Ten thousand horsemen howled, whipped their horses, and rushed forward.
Shi A was nervous, rode on the horse, and let the war horse stop Liu Ze's horse head intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Chu and Dian Wei guarded the periphery vigilantly with their eyes open. Liu Ze shouted: "Xu Chu, Dian Wei, heavy soldiers attack." Xu Chu and Dian Wei also understood that it was a critical moment, so they had no choice but to lead two thousand heavy cavalry and rush forward.
Guan Yu took the lead, met Chun Yuqiong's vanguard head-on, waved his big sword, slashed under the horse, and then rushed into the reinforcement array. Guan Yu saw Chun Yu written on the banner of the Chinese army, and knew that it was Chun Yuqiong who led the troops, so he shouted, and in front of the invincible, the horse killed Chun Yuqiong. Guan Yu's personal guards were all trained by Guan Yu himself, and his combat effectiveness was super strong, and when he saw Guan Yu charging alone, he followed up very tacitly.
When Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the two god-killing heavy cavalrymen, crashed into the reinforcements of the Yuan army, the vanguard had already collapsed, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" "While rushing bravely.
Yuan Jun was terrified, what's going on tonight? The red-faced man who passed just now killed the vanguard officer with one knife, and these two black-faced ones were as good as they were, and when they killed people, they called a fast, and heard "Those who descend will not be killed." "It's still a matter of life, so I obediently lost my weapon and squatted on the ground with my head in my hands.
Chun Yuqiong was dazed, and suddenly saw a red-faced man kill him, his pupils widened instantly, and the guards behind him crossed Chun Yuqiong to block the front, Guan Yu rose up with a big knife, killed more than ten people in a row, forced back the guards, and stabbed Chun Yuqiong in the chest. Chun Yuqiong was afraid of death, and the armor on his body was thickened, where did he expect that Guan Yu's big knife was infused with enough strength, and his body wanted to fall backwards, but it was not as fast as Guan Yu's knife, and he was stabbed by Guan Yu.
In the firelight, Chun Yuqiong's eyes remained round, and the blood on her body flowed down the handle of the knife. Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes opened, shining brightly, holding the knife in his right hand, and holding his beautiful hair in his left hand, holding it like a god. Sergeant Yuan was stunned by Guan Yu, inexplicable fear, a feeling of wanting to worship on his head came to his heart, I don't know which one took the lead, lost his weapon, bent his knees, and suddenly the sound was endless, forty or fifty thousand people knelt down in the dark night, and the torches were thrown on the ground, making a beeping sound.
When Liu Ze came closer, he saw Guan Yu immediately stabbing and subduing the three armies with his personal charm, and his heart blossomed, and he couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Who dares to cross the sword immediately, only I am General Guan." ”
Yuan Shao learned that Chun Yuqiong was dead, it was already dawn, and more than 40,000 soldiers surrendered unconditionally, so that Yuan Shao's heart was dripping blood, is this God going to kill me?
Guo Tu said: "Ming Gong, the grain and grass are burned, the army has no fighting spirit, and the army should retreat quickly." Feng Ji said: "Retreating like this, Liu Rundong took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and our army was defeated." Yuan Shao said: "What is the high opinion of Yuantu? Feng Ji said: "Contact the eldest prince, carry grain and grass materials, my army is divided into three roads, cover each other, and slowly retreat." Guo Tu said: "Now my army is less than 200,000, food and grass are scarce, morale is low, and we are slowly retreating, I am afraid that the whole army will not be lost." Yuan Shao saw that the two of them had their own opinions, and turned his head to Tian Feng, "Yuan Hao has a high opinion?" Tian Feng is upright and not very well received by Yuan Shao, and when he saw Yuan Shao asking about himself, he had to say: "The soldiers are noble and fast, and they send a general to invite the army to fight during the day to confuse the enemy." The remaining army secretly packed up and retreated at night. Yuan Shao's mind cleared up at this time, nodded and said, "Good." ”
Yuan Shao sent someone into the city to inform Yuan Tan and prepare quietly.
Liu Ze returned to the camp, the generals greeted him, Guo Jia asked about the results, Liu Ze smiled: "It's a fluke, I was able to succeed." Guo Jia said: "The Yuan army has no food, and it will inevitably retreat, so it is advisable for Ming Gong to make arrangements as soon as possible." ”
Early the next morning, the scout came to report, Ju Yi invited to fight, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Yuan's army will retreat." Liu Ze said: "How do you know?" Guo Jia said: "The challenge of Juyi will definitely confuse our army." I expect that Yuan Shao will definitely prepare secretly, and the withdrawal will be within a day or two. Liu Ze said with a smile: "Fengxiao can arrange soldiers and horses." Guo Jia said: "Take the public order." ”
Guo Jia turned around and stood in the tent, and said loudly: "General Zangba, I ordered you to lead 5,000 troops and go out of the village to meet the enemy." Zang Ba turned around and went. Where is Shi A? Shi Ah said loudly: "Shi Ah is here." "Order the special elite to do their best, cut off the Yuan army scouts, there must be no mistakes." Shi Ah said loudly, "Yes." Guo Jia said: "Between Guangyang and Liang Countryside, there is a mound, the woods are very dense, General Guan Yu, leading 20,000 troops, sneaking and hiding, until the arrival of the Yuan army, so so." Guan Yu promised. Guo Jia looked at Gao Ran and said loudly: "General Gao Ran, there are many dense forests on the road leading to Yangxiang, so that you have 20,000 troops, set up more obstacles along the road, and plant flags in the forest. "Gao Ran took the order and left." There is a wall of water in the southwest of Liangxiang, Yuan Jun came, he must fight to cross the bridge first, General Zhang Fei, General Wei Yan, each led 10,000 troops, lay on both sides, wait for it to cross halfway, and attack it suddenly. Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun, "General Zhao Yun, leading 20,000 troops, wearing Yuan's army clothes and armor, rushed to Zhuo County, took advantage of the night to deceive the city, and then stuck to the city." The three of them turned and went out of the tent. Guo Jia continued: "General Zhang He, Zhuoxian to the country, the general led 10,000 troops, and chose the road to ambush. When the Yuan army is so far, when the exhausted and surrendered soldiers without a fight, the good is also good, the general remembers. "Zhang He clasped his fists and saluted, and went." General Hu Chuquan, there is a governor Kangting in the southeast of Zhuo County, the general led 10,000 horses, ambushed the road, waited for the Yuan army to come, waved the army to fight. "Hu Chuquan also went. Guo Jia turned to Liu Ze and said, "Ming Gong, Jia wants to borrow Xu Chu." Liu Ze smiled: "Yes." Guo Jia said: "Zhang Xiu, Xu Chu, and Wu Chen listened to the order and ordered the three of you to lead 15,000 men and horses each to bypass Zhuoxian County, and so on." The three of them went excitedly. Guo Jia looked at the empty tent and said: "Li Yuan, Ma Cheng, strictly guard Dazhai, Ming is in danger, rely on the two of you." Li Yuan and Ma Cheng were originally a little lost, but when they saw Guo Jia say this, they happily agreed loudly.
Juyi Jieqiao became famous in the first battle, defeated Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, and established his position in Yuan Shao's army. Zang Ba came out of Dazhai to fight Juyi. The two came and went and fought dozens of times, regardless of victory or defeat, Guo Jia ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Ju Yi was in the middle of the battle and collected his troops and returned to the camp.
There are still 30,000 horses in Yuan Tan's Jixian County, plus Yuan Shao's army, and 160,000, so many people can clean up, it is not possible to do it in one day. The next day, Yuan Shao ordered Han Juzi to fight, and Guo Jia said with a smile: "There are no generals in Yuan Shao's army. Then he ordered Dian Wei to fight.
What level is Dian Wei? Super hunk. Only one of them took a look at the face, and cut Han Juzi off the horse, Dian Wei shouted, and killed into the Yuan army, Han Juzi brought 5,000 men and horses, and immediately scattered and fled, Dian Wei had to chase again, Guo Jia had already made money.
The sun slowly slipped down the West Mountain, and when night came, Yuan Shao looked at his subordinates in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Diao is still fighting, and all armies will retreat quickly according to the pre-arrangement." ”
Yuan Tan led 50,000 horses to the direction of Yangxiang, the scout came to report, the road ahead was cut off, and the flag fluttered faintly in the dense forest beside the road. Yuan Tan urged the people to move on. Gao Ran saw that the opponent's men and horses far surpassed him, so he ordered the soldiers to beat the war drums, wave the flags, and shout loudly, and the 20,000 people suddenly created a momentum of 100,000 troops. Yuan Tan was shocked, this was a pretending to be a suspicious soldier, luring himself into the bait, and hurriedly changed the rear team to the front team, and evacuated in a hurry. Gao Ran was overjoyed and led 20,000 soldiers to chase Yuan Tan's ass and kill him. Yuan Tan ran his hat crookedly, and when he looked back, he had broken nearly 10,000 horses, so he had no choice but to turn around on the road to Liangxiang.
Guan Yu crouched in the dense forest, constantly comforting the war horse lying on the ground. Yuan Shao's vanguard passed through safely and soundly, and Yuan Shao's Chinese army also passed slowly, Ju Yi led 20,000 horses to break off, and observed the surroundings with vigilant eyes. Guan Yu knew that it was time, and with a loud shout, 20,000 cavalry jumped on their horses and killed them. Ju Yi's team was too long and was cut off by Guan Yu. Yuan Shao was in the Chinese army, and when he heard the sound of fighting, he thought that the Jizhou army was chasing after him, so he hurriedly urged the troops to speed up.
Poor Ju Yi, a famous general in Hebei, met Guan Yu, who is known for his beheading. With the help of the firelight, Guan Yu saw that Ju Yi was commanding not far away, urging the war horse, killing the past, Ju Yi held a gun to meet the battle, less than ten rounds, Guan Yu slashed Ju Yi's back with a knife, Ju Yi opened his mouth and spewed out a bloody arrow, and fled wildly. The soldiers were in chaos without a general, the soldiers saw that the main general was wounded and fled, the army was in turmoil, Guan Yu shouted at the right time: "Those who surrender will not be killed." The broken soldier obediently squatted on the ground.
Yuan Tan caught up with Yuan Shao in Liangxiang and told the situation, Yuan Shao's heart was a little cold, could it be that Liu Ze sensed my intentions, and an ambush had already been set up along the way? Thinking of this, Yuan Shao ordered the herald to pass the order, and then speed up and move forward.
When he came to Yuanshui, Yuan Shao looked at the narrow stone bridge, worried in his heart, at this time, the army had been running for more than half the night, and they were all tired. When Ju Yi caught up with Yuan Shao after the break, he was already speechless, Ju Yi's personal guard said what had happened, Yuan Shao pretended to comfort Ju Yi a few words, and ordered the personal guard to help Ju Yi go down to rest. After the battle of Juyi Jieqiao, he was proud of his achievements, and Yuan Shao had already started to kill.
Yuan Shao crossed the bridge, there were forty or fifty thousand troops in the north of the bridge, the war drums were thundering in the field, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan each led 10,000 cavalry to swarm and kill. Sergeant Yuan only hated his father and mother for having two legs and squeezed on the bridge, and in order to survive, some of the soldiers were either squeezed into the river or killed by their own guards. Those who can't step on the bridge will spread their feet and run in all directions. An army of 40,000 or 50,000 defeated itself without a fight.
Yuan Shao came to Zhuoxian County, saw hope, and the guards beside him shouted: "Open the city gate." In the shadow of the city gate, a person walked out, white robe and silver armor, it was Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun led the bow and arrow, shot an arrow, and called the throat of the happiest guard, Zhao Yun looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Yuan Shao and said: "By the order of my lord, I will take the city for a long time." ”
Yuan Shao looked at the city in despair, thinking that he could enter the city to take a breath when he arrived in Zhuo County, but he didn't expect that people thought of it every step of the way, and secretly sighed for a long time, Liu Rundong is beside him, there are masters.
Zhang Fei and Wei Yan saw that Yuan's army was so vulnerable, so the two discussed, and 20,000 cavalry were killed. Zhao Yun saw the arrival of the Jizhou soldiers from a distance, and also opened the city gate and killed Yuan Shao.
Tian Feng said: "The matter is urgent, and the cavalry guards Ming Gong will retreat quickly." Yuan Shao couldn't take care of it, and under the escort of 50,000 cavalry, he bypassed Zhuoxian, hurried like a lost dog, and fled in a hurry. Yuan Tan saw that his father had run away, so he led his troops and ran around the city to the southeast. Seeing Yuan Tan like this, Tian Feng left thousands of men and horses to resist, and led his army to the southwest.
