Pang Tongjun and Zhang Liaojun swept away the leaves like the autumn wind. Within two months, Ye County, Julu County, House County, Xindu County, and Pingyuan County were conquered. Guo Taijun captured Youzhou Dai County. At the same time, Pang Tong observed the true intentions of the enemy. Yuan Tan gathered all his forces in Nanpi County, Bohai County. Yuan Tan yearns for an army of 900,000. But Pang Tong's spies reported that the number should be between 400,000 and 500,000, and half of them are old and young, and half of them are in the prime of life.

Pang Tong sighed: "This is the last strength of the Yuan family's army. But I'm still going to defeat him. ”

Pang Tong led 100,000 people himself, but he transferred heavy troops to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao led 400,000 people to guard Puyang and deter Cao Cao.

Pang Tong didn't want to be disturbed. He wants to fight Yuan Tan at this important moment. He assigned Lu Su to do a good job in the supply of grain routes. I was afraid that Zhang Liao would be cut off by Cao Cao.

Pang Tong's 100,000-strong army marched to Bohai County. At the same time, Yuan Tan's army also followed. In Yuan Tan's opinion, Pang Tong's 100,000 people came to fight against him, which was simply an egg hitting a stone.

In the tent under the moon, Xueyue suddenly jumped behind Pang Tong, who was reading a book, and began to beat Pang Tong's back with both hands. Pang Tong's whole person seemed to be about to loosen. He said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, what do you want, my body is going to be crispy." ”

"Humph!" Xue Yue poked Pang Tong's faceted temple with a finger and said, "What do you want to think about crooked brains!" She clasped her hands to her chest and said, "Yuan Tan's 900,000 army, do you lead 100,000 people to die?" I kindly remind you, or I will be tired to save you again. ”

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "You don't need to be a grandma." After the war, you can be honest with me. The matter of a soldier is not a relationship between many people and a small number of people. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu used 30,000 cavalry to annihilate 560,000 of Liu Confederation's allied army, which is the most classic way to win more with less. ”

"Haha." Xue Yue said with a smile: "Xiang Yu knows, he was killed by Liu Bang in the end." ”

Pang Tong frowned and continued to read, ignoring her no more.

In the middle of March of the eighth year of Yonghan, the weather was sunny and the wind supported the soil. On the plain on the west side of Nanpi County, hundreds of phalanxes are colliding together. Pang Tongjun maintained a square formation with twenty phalanxes. And Yuan Tanjun is a large rectangular formation.

The flag fluttered, and the sergeant was solemn. Pang Tong led Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to the forefront, and Yuan Tanjun opened his jaw and Yuan Tan himself also came to the front. Although Yuan Tan put the best elites in the front rows, Pang Tong had already found out all the military information, and the back was poor, and some of them were not even fully equipped. Moreover, Pang Tong calculated the pace of the march, that is, to stop at this position. Because, in this position, Yuan Tan's rear army had just crossed the Bailuo River. In order to cross the river, Yuan Tanjun paved more than a dozen bridges.

When Pang Tong saw Yuan Tan, he said loudly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you man who killed his own brother." ”

Yuan Tan was disdainful and snorted coldly: "Those who achieve great things are not informal. He waved his hand back. This is the power of my Yuan clan. Acquaintances quickly retreated. ”

Pang Tong said coldly: "I don't think that's it, if you can move the army a little east." So that our army can fully unfold the crane wing formation. An hour will annihilate you! ”

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "An hour? It's useless to just give you ten hours! How much do you have to retreat before you can set up a formation? ”

Pang Tong said: "Five miles of road is enough." ”

"Good!"

Yuan Tan ordered the whole army to retreat five miles. The army retreated, and the pace was monstrous.

Ma Chao left Pang Tong. He rushed to the Chinese army and whispered to a group of soldiers dressed in Yuan Tanjun equipment. These soldiers rode around in a large circle, and within the range of Yuan Tan's army, they slowly came to Yuan Tan's rear army.

At this time, Yuan Tan's rear army didn't know why he was retreating. Since the Bailuo River is behind them, the retreating crowd has no time to cross the bridge. The army retreated in all directions, and in the crowded and shoved situation, many people fell into the river. It's chaos.

The cavalry of Yuan Tan's army, disguised by Pang Tongjun, galloped back. I saw these cavalry shouting at the retreating crowd: "The front army and the middle army have broken up!" There is an ambush ahead! ”

The group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who were already afraid of Pang Tongjun, were even more terrified in the chaos caused by the retreat. They abandoned their weapons and fled, scattering in all directions. Fear, rumors, immediately began to spread throughout the rear army. But there were still many people in the rear who did not have time to run, and were squeezed into the river by the phalanx that had retreated from the front. The aura of the rout of the rear army spread to the Chinese army. The Chinese army thought that the rear army had been raided, and heard that it was an ambush in the front and the center, and the formation was in chaos.

When Yuan Tan heard the noise behind him and was frowning, Pang Tong said loudly: "Mediocre people dare to lead hundreds of thousands of people. He pulled out Wang Jian and pointed at Yuan Tan.

I could only hear the sound of war drums in the formation of Pang Tong's army, and the whole army began to charge. Yuan Tan was so frightened that he immediately reined in and returned to the battle. Zhang Jaw followed closely behind, leading more than a dozen horsemen to escort Yuan Tan to the Chinese army. What shocked them was that the Chinese army was scattered, and more than a dozen people in the phalanx were scattering. It's in this messy situation. Pang Tong's army was like a bamboo, and the cavalry ran through the entire Yuan Tan army, rushing back and forth.

Yuan Tan finally fled north under the escort of Zhang Jaw. Pang Tong's army won a complete victory, killing 80,000 enemies and capturing 190,000, the rest ran away, and a few fell into the river. This battle is known as the Battle of Bailuo River, and Pang Tong's army defeated Yuan Tan's army of nearly 500,000 with 100,000 people.

Pang Tong rode his horse to the Bailuo River, and many of Yuan Tan's soldiers around him knelt on the ground. He overlooked the river, which was full of drowning floating corpses, and some people were still struggling on the shore. He took a deep breath and said, "Rest in peace, defeated army." ”

After Cao Cao learned of this in Pengcheng County, he shouted: "This person has unpredictable abilities." The entourage strategist Guo Jia said indifferently: "It should be that Yuan Tan is too ignorant." If you are an adult, you can do it too. ”

The main force of Yuan Tan's army was annihilated in the Battle of Bailuo River, and Pang Tong sent nearly 90,000 of the captives to Xindu County, promising them that if they captured Jizhou and Youzhou, they could go back to reunite with their families. The captives were grateful to him, and went to Xindu County to talk about Pang Tong Rende, which soon spread throughout Jizhou.

At this time, Yuan Tan was dying and struggling and fled to Zhangwu County, north of Nanpi County. He ordered the razing of all the houses in the central trading area of the county, and about 100 merchants and more than 200 houses were destroyed. He ordered a small city to be built, and five ditches were dug deep around the perimeter to divert water from the river. There are three roads in the city wall, all of which are set up with city towers, with iron gates, and are heavily guarded. In the center, a three-storey earth and stone building is the core, with a built-in guard's resting place, a large amount of grain, grass and food on the second floor, and a third floor as its residence.

Pang Tong sent an envoy to Zhangwu County to order him to surrender, and promised to give him generous treatment after surrendering, but Yuan Tan ignored it. Pang Tong then captured the weakly defended Nanpi County. Guo Tai attacked Guangyang County, and Yan Rou, the county guard, led 2,000 defenders to surrender. Guo Taijun and Pang Tongjun formed a trap on Zhangwu. Yuan Tan also lost connection with the only remaining territory of the two states of Youzhou and became an isolated land. The entire Jizhou is not under the control of Pang Tong.

Pang Tong ordered Guo Tai to continue to attack the last Liaoxi and Liaodong counties in Youzhou to the east. He continued to send envoys to persuade Yuan Tan to surrender, and posted notices all over the towns and cities of Nanpi County. Yuan Tan continued to ignore this. But the people of Jizhou, who knew that the Yuan family was gone, were panicked. There are already people everywhere who have resentment towards Yuan Tan, and even children have made up songs to curse:

Yuan Tan Xiaoer, Xiao Er Yuan Tan,

The number of fates has been determined, and the number of fates has been determined;

Not for the people, but for the people,

Alone in Zhangwu, Zhangwu lives in evil;

Pang Tong is benevolent and righteous, and benevolence is spread all over the world,

The people's hearts have been back, and the Yuan family is at the end.

Yuan Tan angrily demanded that the people who sang this song be arrested, but because there were too many people singing, the entire Zhangwu prison cell was filled for a while.

Pang Tong saw that Yuan Tan was still stubborn, so he waved 100,000 troops to the west gate of Zhangwu County to challenge. The defenders did not come out of the wall. Pang Tong is ten miles away from the village. The patrol team intercepted several letters from Yuan Tan, all of which were written by Yuan Tan, each of which was the same and addressed to the "Montenegrin Army" in the Montenegrin area on the east side of Nanpi by the sea. The Montenegrin Army was a force formed by the people who failed to revolt during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and hid in Montenegro, numbering hundreds of thousands. Since Yuan Tan sent a lot of probes, Pang Tong expected that there must have been probes to Montenegro. However, the letter has already stated that in late April, if the Montenegrin people came to the east gate of Zhangwu County, they would raise a fire and introduce it after opening the door.

Pang sent an envoy to Montenegro while waiting for time to pass.

In late April, the Montenegrin people arrived in Zhangwu County and raised a fire at night. Yuan Tan opened the door and led the Montenegrin army in. By the third watch, the Montenegrin army rebelled, opened four gates, and led Pang Tong's army in, and for a time the torches surged, and the murderous spirit was monstrous. Yuan Tan's garrison was 50,000 in chaos, and most of them died in the civil battle in half an hour, and the rest begged for mercy. Pang Tong came to the center of the city, saw the city in the city, and sighed: "This bastard will be tired of the people in the end." He raised his sword to the sky and shouted at the guards at the wall: "The Yuan family has been destroyed, those who surrender will be treated favorably, and those who violate it will raze the three clans!" ”

After a while, there was chaos in the town, and the shouts of killing continued. Pang Tong smiled: "People's hearts are back." ”
