Chapter 850: Zhang Xiu's army is defeated
Li Dao died, and Zhang Xiu couldn't control his army, which naturally caused chaos.
Cao Ang at the head of the city clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's finally done." ”
"Order, open the gates, kill out."
Cao Ang knew that he had succeeded, so he killed Kaesong.
Le Jin and Xiahoudun rushed out with soldiers and horses, and they still had about 40,000 troops.
The combined forces of Zhang and Li were in chaos, and Zhang Xiu tried to control it, but he couldn't control it.
Even Li Dao's army attacked him in turn.
What's even more terrifying is that the chaotic army began to rush indiscriminately, disrupting Zhang Xiu's formation.
"Assault the military formation over there." After Xiahoudun left the city, he saw that Zhang Xiu was still united around him to resist, so he attacked them.
Xiahoudun's eyes were vicious, and he knew that he would attack Zhang Xiu's military formation.
Zhang Xiu was very helpless at this time, and Li Dao's army was in chaos, and as a result, the rebels attacked his own military formation.
Helpless, Zhang Xiu could only kill on a killing spree, wanting to kill Li Dao's rout.
But there were too many chaotic soldiers, and the two armies were originally entangled.
What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Xiu's own army also began to impact his own military formation.
It was the part of the army that was besieging the city that retreated, and as a result, it retreated with Li Dao's army, causing great chaos together.
The two armies were in chaos, which was very terrible, and at this time, Xiahoudun and Le Jin also killed them.
"Let's go, break out."
After killing for a while, Zhang Xiu couldn't control the situation, and Cao Jun killed him again, there was no way, they could only withdraw their troops.
Zhang Xiu went out, but when he saw that there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses following him, he felt cold in his heart.
80,000 soldiers and horses went out to fight, thinking of attacking all the way and attacking Xuchang.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ang kept leading them in, and after they went deeper, he let Guo Yan sneak attack Luoyang from Chang'an and capture Luoyang.
At this time, Guo Yan was very proud, and he had a very bad relationship with Li Dao in Chang'an, and he almost fought, and finally Li Dao left Luoyang.
After Li Dao captured Luoyang, the relationship between the two became better on the surface, after all, they both belonged to the Xiliang Army.
Guo Yan also didn't have much room for development in Chang'an, and this time Cao Ang sent someone to find him and let him sneak attack Luoyang, and he immediately knew that the opportunity had come.
It is indeed a good opportunity, Cao Jun will attract all their soldiers and horses, Luoyang is empty, such a good opportunity Guo Yan will naturally not miss it.
After Li Dao and Zhang Xiu sent troops, Cao Ang notified Guo Yan and asked him to quietly send troops to prepare.
After the other party goes deep into Yingchuan, it will be the best time for Guo Yan.
Guo Yan's surprise attack was successful and he occupied Luoyang.
Then, there was not much suspense, and the news reached the front line, causing chaos in Li Wei's army.
What he didn't expect was that Li Dao would fall to his death on the spot.
And Zhang Xiu's army suffered, and under the impact of the chaotic army, he also suffered heavy losses, and only more than 20,000 people escaped at best.
Cao Ang led the army to chase and kill, and there was no longer any threat to these routs.
After two days of pursuit, most of them were forced to land, and only a few people escaped.
Cao's army won a big victory.
Cao Ang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and transferred some local garrisons from other places to take care of the prisoners, and then he led the army to continue the pursuit of Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu ran all the way, his morale plummeted, and some more people ran in the middle.
Today's Zhang Xiu is really like a lost dog.
Zhang Xiu couldn't figure it out, why did he lose, or he lost so badly.
This time it was so miserable that it could be said that it lost everything.
They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect Guo Yan to come out and attack them.
After Guo Yan monopolized Chang'an, he learned from Dong Zhuo and knew pleasure.
But just because pleasure is pleasure doesn't mean he won't take the low-hanging fruit.
This time, they will lose so badly, but they didn't expect Guo Yan to come out.
Zhang Xiu ran for two days and met Jia Xu, who came to meet him.
"Mr. Wenhe, I regret not listening to you." Seeing Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu said with a sad face.
Jia Xu also sighed secretly, the 20,000 or so soldiers and horses who fled back have lost their military morale, and it is estimated that they do not have much combat effectiveness.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses in this Cao Ang, they are carrying a big victory, and with the threat of Guo Yan in Luoyang, they have little chance of winning.
When Zhang Xiu returned to Wancheng, Cao Ang had already killed the city.
Cao Ang was not in a hurry to attack, they pursued all the way, and did not carry your siege equipment, and the soldiers also needed to rest.
There are already people in the rear who are reorganizing and surrendering troops, and Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses may not be able to be used to attack Wancheng, but Li Dao's soldiers and horses can still be used to reorganize them, at least to strengthen their momentum.
Zhang Xiu is extremely decadent, he doesn't have many soldiers and horses at this time, and I'm afraid this Wancheng can't hold it.
Zhang Xiu, who regretted it very much, asked Ji Jiaxu.
"Mr. Wend, teach me, what should I do?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"Ugh." Jia Xu sighed, before Zhang Xiu still had the opportunity to win the Central Plains and compete for hegemony with the princes, but now everything is gone.
"I can only surrender, at this time Cao Cao needs generals and soldiers and horses the most, and if the general surrenders, he will definitely be reused." Jia Xu said.
In history, Zhang Xiu was indeed reused, but in history, he caused Cao Ang and Dian Wei to die in the battle of Wancheng, although Cao Cao reused him, but he died in the end.
Zhang Xiu was entangled, very unwilling, he was also one of the princes, and he would become someone else's subordinate in the future, how could he be willing.
But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people.
Jia Xu didn't comfort him, but let him be alone to calm down, anyway, Cao Ang wouldn't attack for a while.
"Alas, surrender." After thinking about it all night, early the next morning, Zhang Xiu surrendered.
There is no way if they don't surrender, and when Cao Ang is ready, they can't hold it, so it's better to surrender at this time, and they can still gain Cao Ang's favor.
Cao Ang took over Wancheng, and this Guo Yan was also a defender, and after capturing Luoyang, he did not take the opportunity to attack Cao Ang.
Although they are a cooperative relationship, but it is also a temporary cooperation, if possible, Guo Yan has enough strategy, he can take the opportunity to capture Wancheng, and then organize troops and horses to attack Cao Cao's rear.
But Guo Yan didn't.
Cao Ang has survived the crisis.
He began to reorganize his troops.
This time, he collected Zhang Xiu and Li Wei's soldiers and horses and began to reorganize.
This embroidery was indeed reused and became Cao Ang's henchman.
When the news reached Zhang Yu's side, Zhang Yu felt very incredible, history had evolved like this.
"Interesting, interesting. If Cao Ang had not died in this history, he would have inherited the Cao family's country, and the history of future generations would have been completely rewritten. Zhang Yu lamented the variables of history.
Cao Ang pacified the rear and annexed Li Dao and Zhang Xiu, clearing the crisis in the rear for Cao Cao.
After Zhang Yu received the news, he called Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao and said: "This Jiangdong will be handed over to you, I must go to Jiangdong, the battle of Yuan Cao may change at any time, if the battle situation exceeds our estimate, Jiangdong can act cheaply." ”
Zhang Yu wants to go to Youzhou to preside over the overall situation, and the reason why he goes is Zhang Jiao's treasure, if he can, he wants to dig out the treasure.
