Chapter 389: Frustrating the Enemy's Spirit
In desperation, Yan Liang still gritted his teeth, followed the defeated soldiers, and fled towards the ferry north of White Horse City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Yan Liang's cavalry was defeated, Zhang Yuan took advantage of the situation to cover up and go straight to White Horse City.
At this time, the enemy general Jiang Qi was also leading a 5,000-foot army and was besieging White Horse City.
Yan Liang wants to clean up Zhang Yuan's main force and make the first contribution, of course he also wants to win the white horse and get a piece of the pie.
Unfortunately, his dream was shattered.
When the siege of the city was fierce, the scout rushed to the city and shouted: "General Yu, General Yan has been defeated by the main force of Zhang's army and has retreated to the ferry, and he ordered the general to also march to the rendezvous. ”
"What."
Jiang Qi was taken aback, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Yan Zizheng has 5,000 iron cavalry and 1,000 heavy armored cavalry, how can he be defeated by Zhang Yuan's infantry." ”
The voice fell, and I saw that in the southwest, dust and mist rose into the sky, the sound of killing rumbled like thunder, and thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Zhang, like a group of beasts out of the cage, surged wildly.
In the face of the hard facts, Jiang Qi had to accept this cruel and incredible fact.
Yan Liang, the first general in Hebei, was indeed defeated by Zhang Yuan.
"How is it possible, what means did Zhang Yuan use to defeat Yan Liang's five thousand iron cavalry," Jiang Qi was puzzled.
At this moment, the White Horse City, which was originally besieged, was actually opened, and the defender Hua Rong led the defenders to fight back.
Later, the main force of Zhang's army was killed, and the defenders in the city came out again, and under the combination of inside and outside, without fighting, the soldiers of Yuan's army had collapsed and were defeated one after another.
"Retreat. The whole army retreated to the ferry. Jiang Qi was completely panicked, he didn't care about Zhang Duo, and he was in a hurry to yell and retreat.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
In the southern direction, Zhang's army surged in, and in the blink of an eye, the infantry of Yuan's army, which had no time to retreat, rushed to pieces.
Zhang Yuan danced the war knife in his hand, no one could stop him, and went straight to where the Chinese army was, and when Jiang Qi didn't have time to turn his horse and flee, he danced the knife to kill.
With a thunderous roar, the war knife in his hand carried the power of thunder, and went straight to Jiang Qi's door.
Before the blade arrived, the sound of the wind breaking had already shocked Jiang Qi's heart.
There was no time to escape, Jiang Qi could only carry the knife sideways, and his arms used all his strength to try to block Zhang Yuan's super powerful blow.
Syllable.
In the sound of metal roaring and terrible screams, Jiang Qi, who was only in his early 60s with a force value, could not resist Zhang Yuan's divine ghost's blow, and flew out with a knife.
"Is this Zhang Yuan, this person's force is so strong, even me"
Jiang Qi, who landed on the ground, was in great pain, he never expected that the second largest prince in the world would be as strong as force.
At the moment when he was frightened, Zhang Yuan had already swept past him, and the war knife in his hand swept towards his neck like a grinding plate.
Blood splattered, and Jiang Qi's head fell to the ground.
The infantry of the Yuan army, who had lost their main general, collapsed even more, abandoned their armor one after another, and fled in the direction of the ferry.
Zhang Yuan swept the army, followed behind the defeated army, like a huge wave, driving thousands of defeated and fleeing soldiers, all the way to the ferry.
At dusk, Zhang Yuan killed the ferry, only to see thousands of enemy troops, crowded on the front line of the Shuiying ferry, you scramble to climb the raft, trying to escape to the other side.
Looking at the chaotic enemy soldiers, Zhang Yuan only had an unfinished sneer in his eyes, and the long knife pointed towards the ferry, "The real slaughter has just begun, let's continue the carnival." ”
When the order was passed, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Zhang Army, who were in full swing, frantically crashed into the chaotic enemy group with the unfinished killing machine.
White Horse City is very close to the Chenghe River, there is still a water village built on the bank, there were originally nearly 100 large and small rafts, but in order to cross the river for the Yuan army on the north bank, most of the rafts have been transferred to the north bank.
Yuan Shao's main force was transferred to Yanjin by Zhang Yuan today, Liyang on the north bank could not send troops to reinforcements, and the defeated troops of Yan Liang on the south bank did not have enough rafts, so his defeated troops all crossed the river, so he naturally fell into a dilemma.
Nearly five or six thousand defeated soldiers rushed to seize the ship, intending to flee to Liyang on the north shore by boat.
There were few rafts, but now when the soldiers were in a panic, everyone was only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and when the ship was not full, the boarders could not wait to sail to the shore.
In a short time, more than 100 rafts had left the ferry, but there were still more than 3,000 Yuan troops on the shore, and they had not been able to board the raft.
At this time, Zhang Yuan had already led a large army to chase after him, crushing all the way forward, and the routs who were crowded on the bank pushed each other, and hundreds of people were squeezed into the river.
Zhang Yuan rode into the water village, rampage, wanton killing, as of the evening, another 3,000 Yuan troops were killed, blood flowed into the river, most of the river surface was almost red with blood.
When the last rays of light set, the slaughter ended.
In the Dutou water camp, a blood-soaked banner with the word "Zhang" fluttered in the wind, as if it was showing off its might to the enemy who fled to the river.
From White Horse City to Dutou, there are corpses everywhere along the road, and the bloody road stretches for several miles.
On the front line of the ferry, except for more than 1,000 soldiers, the rest of the Yuan army, who did not escape to the boat, were either killed or drowned by the rolling river.
Drifting on the warships of the river, those soldiers who escaped with their lives looked at the tragic scene on the other side with palpitations, and there was only deep fear in their hearts.
Fear of Zhang Yuan.
The legend of Yunlong's appearance is a little more ingrained in their hearts.
The soldiers of Yuan Jun, who had escaped, were all terrified and gloomy, facing Zhang Jun's bravado, but they could only bear it silently.
"This Zhang Yuan is so deceitful, and today he has made me lose to such a point, I still have the face to see the lord......"
Yan Liang looked at the enemy and sighed, feeling ashamed and ashamed in his heart, and faintly a little jealous of Zhang Yuan.
It's a pity that the defeat has been decided, and Yan Liang has no choice but to swallow this evil breath and lead 3,000 remnants of the army to retreat towards Liyang on the north bank.
"Tick...... The host wins the White Horse Raid and gains 1,60 brutality. ”
Looking at the enemy soldiers fleeing away in embarrassment, and looking at the corpses lying everywhere, a relieved smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's young face.
In this battle, nearly 7,000 enemies were annihilated, the cavalry of the Yuan army was severely damaged, and the first victory in the decisive battle against Yuan Shao was achieved, which will greatly boost the morale of the soldiers and soldiers, and it can be said that it is a very rich harvest.
"Husband, let's win a big game, do you want to continue to stick to the white horse," Lian Rouge said excitedly.
Zhang Yuan shook his head, "Although Yuan Shao lost a game, his strength is still far superior to ours, this battle is just a slight setback of his sharpness, delaying his steps to the south, the white horse is not a decisive battle." ”
Zhang Yuan was not proud, and immediately ordered to abandon the White Horse City, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians retreated all the way to Guandu.
……
Extended construction, into the north bank of the river.
Hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops were mighty, lined up five miles north of the shore, and the momentum was monstrous, which made the wind and clouds change color.
Yuan Shao, dressed in golden armor, stood proudly, staring intently at the south bank of the Chenghe River with a cold gaze.
There was a faint anxiety in his eyes.
