Chapter 100: Strike Again
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the sun was about to go down, on the Xiaopingjin school ground, 3,200 soldiers who were full of food and drink and were in good spirits lined up neatly, the cold wind struck, and the rows of spears glowed with cold light under the slanting sun, although there were only 3,000 people, but the murderous aura was chilling to the sky.

Gao Shun and Wang Fang wore battle armor and each led 500 foot soldiers, Fan Chou straddled the war horse, and the 500 Qiang Hu soldiers under his command also rode on horses. This is Zhang Liao's request, this raid needs five hundred cavalry, and the five hundred Qiang Hu soldiers under Fan Chou are cavalry, and they just lead the horses directly into battle.
In addition, it is the military marquis under Zhang Liao, but only five of the seven military marquis came, Zhang Jian and Yang Han are not there, and there is one more Jia Ji.
With the sound of the drum three times, Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu, and Zhang Liao boarded the point platform in front of the array, Dong Zhuo hung a long sword at his waist, burly, curly beard, standing there quite domineering, looking around at the three thousand soldiers and horses, seeing such a military appearance, he was very satisfied, pulled out the long sword, and shouted: "All the soldiers, this prime minister is here for you to do a great job!" ”
"Sangkook! Xiangguo! Three thousand people drank together.
Dong Zhuo laughed: "The prime minister is here, promote Pingjin Sima Zhang Liao to be the captain of the tiger and fierce, and control the army!" Have the right to be arbitrary! ”
The three thousand people below were suddenly silent, and then a shocking roar erupted: "Captain Tiger Fierce!" Captain Tiger! ……”
Seeing that the soldiers supported Zhang Liao so much, Dong Zhuo was full of confidence in this battle, and couldn't help laughing again: "Please swear by Zhang Liao, the captain of the tiger and fierce capital!" ”
On the stage, Zhang Liao's heart was quite uneasy, he didn't expect that this battle had not yet come to an end, Dong Zhuo actually promoted him to the rank of captain, a military position of two thousand stones, and Jia Xu's Pingjin lieutenant at the same level, for Dong Zhuo so courageous and trusting, he was also in admiration for a while.
Looking at the three thousand soldiers below who seemed to be crazy and enthusiastically chanted "Captain Tiger and Meng", Zhang Liao was very moved in his heart, and felt as if there was a hot current rushing up from the bottom of his heart, rushing straight to his brain.
He took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and with a gesture of pressure, the bottom immediately fell silent.
Under the slanting sun, he met the fanatical and expectant eyes of the soldiers, looked at the faces one by one, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
Sonor!
He suddenly pulled out his long sword, pointed diagonally at the sky, and roared, like thunder: "Fight!" ”
That's it, it's neat!
The three thousand soldiers below were almost immediately enthusiastic, raised their weapons, and shouted: "Fight! War! War! ”
Five hundred war horses also neighed and responded.
Zhang Liao turned around and saluted Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu, turned around and strode off the platform: "Let's go!" ”
On the stage, Jia Xu sent Zhang Liao away, Dong Zhuo watched the three thousand soldiers and horses out of the school field, and couldn't help laughing, although Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses were less than Hu Zhen, but its momentum was far superior, the three thousand soldiers and horses were like one, and Fan Chou's Qiang Hu soldiers were no exception, which showed that Zhang Liao's ability to command troops was far above Hu Zhen.
When the sun sets, 3,000 soldiers and horses out of Xiaopingjin Pass, and at this time Heyangjin Yuan Shao camp, but is a song and laughter, bonfires rise, kill pigs and sheep, and reward the soldiers who have fought hard for most of the day.
Yuan Shao was in high spirits, and he personally rushed here from Wen County to drink with a group of advisers and fierce generals.
Xu You and others have congratulated Yuan Shao, today's battle, a lot of gains, more than 2,000 prisoners, more than 2,000 horses, can be described as a big victory, but also the first big victory since the Kwantung princes raised their troops, for Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, it can be said that it is of great significance, so that Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, deserves his name!
Wang Kuang didn't leave, he was at the same table with Cui Jun, he looked proud, obviously thinking that Yuan Shao won this battle, and he had a lot of credit, if he didn't bring back information with Cui Jun, I'm afraid this battle would have been a different result.
Xu You saw that many of the soldiers were drunk, and felt that something was wrong, so he arched his hand to Yuan Shao: "Lord, although you won today's battle, you must not be careless, and you must be careful to defend." ”
"Hahahaha!" Before Yuan Shao could speak, Wang Kuang laughed and said: "Mr. Xu is too careful, now Dong Zhuo has only 2,000 soldiers and horses in Mengjin, which can only be stubbornly defended, as for Xiao Pingjin's soldiers and horses, they have already been crippled by my soldiers, where is Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses now?" Only the 2,000 captives were to be guarded...... Hahahaha, drink! But drink with confidence! ”
"Drink! Drink! The crowd burst out laughing.
Xu You frowned, and couldn't put forward any reason to oppose it, just as Wang Kuang said, now Dong Zhuo's two passes have suffered heavy losses of soldiers and horses, and he will not be able to attack again in a day or two.
Originally, he also suspected that in the battle of Qingfengling Ferry, Xiao Pingjin's soldiers and horses lost fraud, but Wang Kuang and Cui Jun did not have a problem with bringing the news of Hu Zhen's sneak attack, so he also denied his original suspicions.
As for Chun Yuqiong, who was Yuan Shao's other advisor Feng Ji and good wine, he had already drunk on the table.
Only a few people noticed that there was always a general standing behind Yuan Shao, with sharp eyes and not a drop of wine.
The full moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was exceptionally bright, Zhang Liao led three thousand soldiers and horses all the way, still walking the previous way, with the previous experience, they walked faster this time.
By the time they arrived, they had crossed the Qingfeng Ridge and arrived at the flat land of Hanoi County, which was located between the Qingfeng Ridge Ferry and Ha Duong City, and was only more than ten miles away from Ha Duong City.
After several battles in Hanoi, pedestrians were scarce at night, Zhang Liao took 3,000 soldiers and horses to rest at the foot of the mountain range, and then went straight to Ha Duong City.
Heyang City has now been occupied by Yuan Shao, Zhang Liao wants to raid Yuan Shao's camp in Heyangjin, Heyang City is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed, and Heyang City must be broken first, otherwise when attacking Heyangjin, the defenders of Heyang City will attack from behind, and they will only be defeated.
Jia Xu said a sentence, Zhang Liao remembered it very deeply, the first thing to seek is to know. Know yourself and know your opponent before you can plan.
Since Zhang Liao had planned to raid Yuan Shao for a long time, he naturally had some understanding of the situation in Heyang City. After he withdrew from Heyang City the day before yesterday, Yuan Shao had sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, of which 2,000 rushed to the Qingfengling Ferry, and 3,000 stayed in Heyang City. But the mobilization of 5,000 soldiers and horses was originally used to deceive Hu Zhen, when Hu Zhen raided Heyangjin in the daytime, the 2,000 soldiers and horses at the Qingfengling ferry did not move, but 2,000 of the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Heyang City suddenly turned east and returned to Heyangjin, attacking Hu Zhen from the flank, which became the last straw for the defeat of Hu Zhen.
Because Heyang City was located in the middle of the two ferries, and there was a barrier on the Qingfengling cliff stretching on the river bank, Yuan Shao did not plan to leave too many soldiers and horses in Heyang City, so after the two thousand soldiers and horses fought, they did not return to Heyang City immediately, but stayed in Heyangjin to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners.
Therefore, in Heyang City today, there are actually only 1,000 guards, but in Zhang Liao's opinion, the combat effectiveness of these 1,000 guards is probably stronger than that of Wang Kuang's 3,000 people.
All the way to the east, about five miles away from Heyang City, Zuo Ci, who had gone to inquire about the news, returned, Zhang Liao stopped in a field, three thousand soldiers and horses stood quietly, and several generals were at the forefront of the team.
Zhang Liao descended from the elephant dragon and made arrangements to attack Heyang City.
"Attacking Heyang City must be fast! End the battle in half an hour! ”
Zhang Liao first set the tone, and he wanted to fight quickly!
"The key to this battle is to not let the fleeing enemy soldiers spread the news to Hayangjin first! It was Fan Chou and Gao Shun, each with 500 soldiers and horses, to bypass Heyang City first, march eastward, and arrange a defensive line two miles away, blocking the road for the enemy to retreat to Heyangjin, and not letting anyone pass! ”
"Yes!" Gao Shun and Fan Chou received the order.
"Zhao Wu, Song Chao, Jia Ji! Break through from the north of the city with 600 soldiers, look for a gap, and break through the walls to enter the city! ”
"Yes!"
"Jiang Qi, Xue Ming, Guo Cheng! Break through from the south of the city with 400 soldiers, also look for a gap, break through the wall and enter the city! ”
"Yes!"
"Wang Fang took five hundred soldiers and attacked the city from the west gate with the captain of Bendu!"
"This ......" Wang Fang's eyes flickered, and he objected: "The governor of Pontus was beaten today, and he is not feeling well, and he may not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of attacking the city head-on. ”
"Cowardly generals, what's the use of staying!" Zhang Liaokeng pulled out his long sword with a loud sound, slashed it down, and a cavity of blood spurted out, and Wang Fang's stunned head rolled to the ground.
All the soldiers were shocked. This is a governor, a general all the way, and his head will fall to the ground in a blink of an eye!
"Excuse your wounds, dodge the expedition, and behead!" Zhang Liao snorted and looked cold: "Tonight's battle is very important, anyone who does not respect the general's order, regardless of identity, will not be spared!" ”
"Yes!" When all the soldiers saw this, they were all awe-inspired, and with Wang Fang, the example of the governor, in front of them, they no longer dared to slack off in the slightest. This is also what Zhang Liao wants to achieve, he has long left Wang Fang's life at this time, he wants to use waste, use Wang Fang's head to deter the soldiers, order and prohibit, and promote murderous spirit!
"Good!" Zhang Liao put his long sword into the sheath and said loudly: "Since the king is dead, the captain of Bendu will personally lead the troops to attack the city, and the generals will act quickly!" ”
