Chapter Seventy-Nine: Zhang Yang Dies
"Die!"
With Zhang Liao's angry shout, a halberd slashed Yang Chou, who rushed in front of him, under the horse, and Zhang Yang on the side took this opportunity to escape under the protection of the circle formed by the guards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And Zhang Liao saw that Zhang Yang was lost, so he had no choice but to command the troops and continue to attack the army formation formed by the soldiers around Zhang Yang.
The other soldiers under Zhang Yang's command, seeing that Zhang Liao had beheaded Yang Chou, in addition to these Zhang Yang's diehard people in front of him, others could not help but be a little shaken, as soon as they met Zhang Liao, they cowered and hesitated, and the soldiers who rescued Zhang Yang with Yang Chou were particularly obvious.
The soldiers had no fighting spirit and no general to command, and they were soon defeated by Zhang Liao and Ran Min, and countless people laid down their weapons on the spot and chose to surrender.
Zhang Yang saw that the general trend had gone, so he took the only remaining hundred or so guards around him to leave the battlefield and go to the southeast.
Ran Min, who was covered in dirty blood, came to thank Zhang Liao after the war: "Thank you Wenyuan for your help." ”
Zhang Liao returned the salute and said with a smile: "Even without Liao's help, Brother Ran may be able to defeat Zhang Yang soon, and Liao should ask Brother Ran for guilt." ”
"Where is Wen Yuan, if Wen Yuan hadn't come in time, even if Zhang Yang was defeated, then these eight thousand brothers would probably lose most of them." Ran Min sighed.
"I'm ashamed, I didn't expect that Zhang Yang escaped." Zhang Liao shook his head and continued: "This place will be handed over to Brother Ran, and Liao will lead people to chase him, hoping to capture this person alive." ”
"Okay, I wish Wen Yuan success." Ran Min arched his hand.
This is also no way, he has 8,000 soldiers under his command, all of them are infantry, and it is already their limit to be able to kill Zhang Yang's more than 10,000 horse infantry troops, even if they want to chase, how can the infantry catch up with Zhang Yang who escaped on horseback, unless he leaves his troops and chases Zhang Yang alone.
"Farewell!" Zhang Liao bowed, and then ordered the whole army to mount their horses and chase to the southeast.
Zhang Yang had been running wildly for half an hour since he escaped from the battlefield, and his heart finally settled down, and he ordered his guards to slow down their horses and rest.
He can't stay in the party, with Zhang Zai's means, I'm afraid he will be able to appease the people soon, he is ready to go out of Huguan, go to Jizhou, go to Yuan Shao, Huguan is the gift he prepared.
Huguan is the only place for Jizhou to enter the party, located at the intersection of the four passes of Taihang Mountain, Taihang, Baicheng and Fukou, it is an indispensable pass to take the party, that is, Zhang Zai wants to go eastward, and he can't get around Huguan, which can be said to be an important barrier for the party.
As long as he can successfully hand over the pot to Yuan Shao, I believe that Yuan Shao will give himself a good position, at least he will not idle himself.
Just when Zhang Yang fell into a beautiful vision, he suddenly felt a tremor on the ground, and then a scout came to report, saying that it was dusty behind, and it was roughly estimated that there were five thousand war horses galloping before such a powerful situation appeared.
"Damn, it's really ghostly!" Zhang Yang scolded angrily in his mouth, but the movements of his hands were not slow, he beckoned the guards to get on the horse, and continued to run in the direction of Huguan to flee for his life.
But their war horses were never as good as Zhang Zai's carefully selected war horses, and after running for dozens of miles, they were gradually chased by Zhang Liao and others.
"Zhang Yang, where to escape!" Zhang Liao recognized Zhang Yang, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang is also worthy of being a military general, hearing the buzzing sound from behind, guessing that someone released an arrow, he decisively hugged the horse's neck, and at the same time put his body on the horse's back.
"Whoosh!"
A feathered arrow flew over his head and shot the feathers off his helmet.
Seeing that he was in distress, Zhang Yang's guards immediately adjusted their bodies and blocked behind Zhang Yang.
An arrow was fruitless, and the opposite side was on guard, Zhang Liao decisively hung up his bow and took the halberd, and accelerated the speed of the horse again.
The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, and in order to save his life, Zhang Yang knows that he can't stop Zhang Liao with more than 100 personal guards around him, but he still said ruthlessly: "Drag them down!" ”
"No!"
After hearing Zhang Yang's order, he did not hesitate, knowing that he was dead, he still turned the horse's head and blocked Zhang Liao's front, wanting to rely on their meager strength to block for a moment and buy time for Zhang Yang.
Although they were in hostility, Zhang Liao still greatly admired the spirit of these people who swore to protect the lord to the death.
It's a pity to follow the wrong lord!
Zhang Liao looked at the more than 100 people in front of him, feeling a pity in his heart, but he didn't show mercy, for them, the best destination was to die for the lord.
With just one look, these guards were slaughtered.
Zhang Liao instructed: "Leave a hundred people, bury these soldiers, and the rest of the people continue to chase after a certain person." ”
"No!"
After traveling for more than ten miles, the war horse under Zhang Yang's seat suddenly lost its front hooves and threw Zhang Yang off the horse.
"Brute, even you are against so-and-so!" Zhang Yang glanced at the fallen war horse and scolded angrily.
"God doesn't help so-and-so!" Then as if resigned to his fate, he sat quietly on the ground, this place was still empty, there was not even a forest around, and it was useless to escape, Zhang Yang simply closed his eyes, waiting for Zhang Liao to arrive.
After only half a cup of tea, Zhang Liao had already seen Zhang Yang sitting upright on the ground, raised his hand, signaled everyone to slow down, and then slowly drove the horse to surround Zhang Yang.
Although Zhang Yang was an enemy, he was still appointed by the imperial court as a Taishou, Zhang Liao ordered everyone to dismount, and then came to Zhang Yang alone, bowed and saluted, and said: "Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan pays a visit to Lord Taishou." ”
Zhang Yang opened his eyes, these times, he thought about a lot of things, unconsciously, his mentality had changed, he looked at Zhang Liao carefully for a while, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, they are worthy of being generals under Zhang Zide, and all of them have great skills." ”
"So that the king is praised!" Zhang Liao bent down to thank him.
Zhang Yang got up, patted the dirt on his body, and asked, "I don't know what he Zhang Zide wants to do with a certain family?" ”
Zhang Liao said: "The lord once said that he had a friendship with the envoy, so he told Liao, if he met the envoy, please go to Jinyang to meet." ”
"After arriving in Jinyang, I'm afraid I'll die there!" Zhang Yang sighed and said, "There is a pleading, and I hope the general will convey it." ”
"Envoy, please speak."
"After the death of XX, I also asked Zide to treat XX's family well." Zhang Yang thought for a while, and then asked, "I don't know if there is pen and ink in the army?" ”
"Make Jun ......" Zhang Liao heard that he had a will to die in his heart, and wanted to persuade him, but seeing the pleading in Zhang Yang's eyes, he changed his words and said, "Let Jun wait a moment." ”
After taking the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhang Yang quickly wrote several letters, and said: "Please also ask the general to hand over to Zide and the guards of Huguan respectively, and the soldiers and horses of a certain headquarters will surrender after seeing the letter, and Huguan and the northern checkpoint will be used as a reward for supporting a wife and children." ”
Zhang Liao put away the letter and nodded yes.
"My wish has been fulfilled, and it is time for so-and-so to go." Zhang Yang glanced around at Shangdang, and then drew his sword and killed himself.
"Congratulations to the envoy!"
Zhang Liao saluted Zhang Yang's corpse, and then ordered someone to wrap the corpse and return to the army to join Ran Min.
