791. Zhu Weijun's counteroffensive began
Just when Yuan Shao was still hesitant and did not carry out the next offensive battle, Zhu Wei did not hesitate at all, and soon set the prelude to the big counteroffensive against Yuan Shao.
So Zhu Weijun, who was on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, took the lead in counterattacking outside.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, about 20,000 Yuan troops under the command of Fu Zhu, Zhang He, and Wang Mo, who originally pretended to be Cao Cao's army, were originally prepared to be temporarily stationed here to respond to Cao Cao's strategy, but after the defeat of Cao Cao's army, Yuan Shao could only let them be officially stationed here.
Of course, at this time, the task of Fu Zhu, Zhang He, and Wang Mo was not to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, but to defend Zhu Weijun from the Tiger Prison Pass.
It can be said that Yuan Shao's side also thought of the possibility that Zhu Weijun would take the initiative to attack from the Tiger Prison Pass, after all, Zhu Weijun's attack from the Tiger Prison Pass could not only threaten Xu Du, but also threaten Yuan Shaojun's right rear flank.
Therefore, Fu Zhu, Zhang He, and Wang Mo relied on the camp of Cao Cao's original garrison, and constructed a defensive line outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
But since Zhu Weijun was determined to attack, how could it be stagnant because of the defense line constructed by Yuan Shaojun, so Pang Yan led 20,000 elite soldiers of the Xionglu battalion, Zhuge Liang led 10,000 soldiers of the Chinese military battalion, as well as Changshi Yi, and the generals Xing Daorong, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian, took the initiative to attack from the Tiger Prison Pass, and also went to Yuan Shao's military camp on a cool summer night.
As for the Tiger Prison Pass, Pan Zhang, who was sent by Zhu Wei, took over the garrison, and Pan Zhang also took over the elite soldiers of the 5,000 Chinese military camp left by Zhuge Liang.
After Pang Yan and Zhuge Liang led their troops to attack, the Tiger Prison Pass was not at the forefront of the battlefield, so Pan Zhang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison it, and he could also ensure the safety of this portal.
Don't say how Pan Zhang is, just say that Pang Yan and Zhuge Liang led nearly 30,000 soldiers plus 10,000 logistics auxiliaries, and then the sky of the summer night, it didn't take long to kill the Cao army camp where Fu Zhu, Zhang He, and Wang Mo are stationed.
At this time, this Cao military camp was also turned into a well-defended fortress military village under the means of frustration.
Like the defensive camp built by Zhu Weijun in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, he dug a trench several feet deep and several steps wide outside the camp wall, and used the stone-throwing carts left by Cao Cao as a defensive weapon, which can be regarded as creating a tight defensive formation.
It's a pity that Cao Cao had already thought of a way to crack this defensive camp, so Zhuge Liang just dug the earth for the mound in the same way, and then put the thunderbolt catapult on the mound, and condescendingly threw oil and flint to the Yuan army camp.
In this way, Zhu Weijun easily destroyed the outer wall of the Yuan army's camp, making the forward defense line constructed by the Yuan army almost in ruins.
The Yuan army that Zhang He and Fu Zhu had arranged at the front of the military village could only retreat one after another, and even the trebuchets they placed here were almost destroyed under the sudden projectile attack launched by Zhu Weijun.
After Zhu Weijun destroyed the defense line of the Yuan army, he waved his troops to charge, and when he arrived at the trench in front of the Yuan army's camp, he directly built wooden ladders and planks on the ditch, and quickly paved a lot of passages that could move forward, so Zhu Wei's army was almost unhindered and entered the Yuan army's camp.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was in the rear to coordinate the overall situation, and Pang Yan also personally led Xing Daorong, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian to kill in front, without using the more than 10,000 troops in the Chinese military camp, and directly relied on the 20,000 troops of the Xiong Lu camp to kill the Yuan army camp, which had already made Zhang He, Fu Zhu, and Wang Mo unable to compete.
In desperation, as a civil servant, he could only be protected by Wang Mo to retreat first, while Zhang He reluctantly led his troops to block the pursuit of Zhu Weijun.
As a result, Zhang He met Pang Yan on the battlefield, although Zhang He can also be regarded as a famous general who has entered the ranks of super generals, but in the face of Pang Yan is still a lot worse, not to mention that now it is on the chaotic battlefield, Pang Yan belongs to the wild road of hunters, and there is no attention to the famous family at all, so he directly looked for an opportunity to sneak attack Zhang He, and knocked Zhang He off the war horse at once, and then let the soldiers behind him go up and capture Zhang He.
At this time, the broken Yuan army lost its main general, and it became even more chaotic, so in the four calls of Zhu Weijun's surrender, many people surrendered.
As a result, Zhu Weijun defeated Yuan's army again, not only captured Yuan's general Zhang He, but also subdued Yuan's army with no less than 5,000 soldiers, and at the same time, there were originally 20,000 or 30,000 logistics civilian servants left by Cao Cao here, which also became prisoners of Zhu Weijun.
In the end, the number of Yuan Shao's battalions that fled back to the north bank of the Yellow River was only four or five thousand, and at least about 10,000 Yuan troops were scattered directly on the south bank of the Yellow River.
After that, these Yuan soldiers either continued to be captured and captured by Zhu Weijun, or directly deserted and returned to their hometown in the north.
As the camp of the Yuan army blocked outside the Tiger Prison Pass was broken through, Zhuge Liang and Pang Yan soon led the army to continue north, chasing the defeated troops of Fu Zhu and Wang Mo all the way, and also took advantage of the situation to seize the south bank of the Yanjin ferry of the Yellow River, which was not much defense, and put on a posture of crossing the river, trying to cut off the back road of the right flank of the Yuan army to the north bank of the Yellow River.
This made Yuan Shao dare not underestimate it, so Yuan Shao could only divide part of his forces to go to the north bank of the Yanjin ferry to strengthen the defense, so as not to threaten Yuan Shao's old nest Yecheng in Yizhou after Zhu Wei's army crossed the Yellow River from Yanjin.
Of course, Zhuge Liang and Pang Yan actually still have some bluff meaning, mainly to attract and disperse the forces of Yuan Shaojun, and at the same time to attract Cao Cao's attention, which has the meaning of attacking the east and the west.
In fact, Zhu Wei's attack target for Zhuge Liang and Pang Yan was still Yingchuan County, and as long as the battle on the side of Taishan County in Xuzhou had a result, he could join Huang Zhong's troops to attack Xudu in Yingchuan County and the counties in Gunzhou at the same time.
At the same time, the war in Taishan County, Xuzhou, has finally come to an end.
Previously, Tai Shi Ci led Zhu Wei's Shen Arrow Battalion to force Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei to Liangfu County, but in order to encircle and annihilate them, Tai Shi Ci slowed down the offensive, just waiting for Huang Zhong's Huainan Battalion to outflank their back road, so he deliberately grinded foreign workers for some time.
During this time, Huang Zhong also led his troops to bypass Zhongni Mountain in Lu State, and arrived at Chengxian County and Juping County according to the agreed movement, and then contacted the scouts sent by Tai Shici.
So the final annihilation battle against the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei began.
Xu Shu and Lu Su, who Zhu Wei placed beside Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, were also resourceful people, so after the two parties got in touch, they quickly set up an offensive strategy.
Probably during the time period when Zhu Weijun went to Luoyang South to counterattack Cao's army, and defeated the Southern Hun cavalry in Ma Teng and Zhang Xiuyu Yuanyin and Yuanyang County, Taishi Ci in Taishan County, Xuzhou, officially launched an offensive against the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei.
Previously, during the time when Taishi Ci Mo was a foreign worker, Zhu Weijun also prepared a lot of war equipment, such as the thunderbolt stone throwing car was built four or five, and there were also mobile arrow cars, siege cave house vehicles, sword wall tiger vehicles and other equipment, which were also built a lot.
So when Tai Shici launched a strong attack on Yuan Tan's Yuan army camp, it was also all kinds of weapons that destroyed the defensive means arranged by Yuan Tan......
