Chapter 219: Pursuit
After crying for a long time, Faye Wong was a little emotional, but she realized that she was a little out of shape, so she pulled out of Zhang Yuan's arms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face was slightly red, but she still looked sad and angry, "Childe, Wang Hui first killed my second brother, and now he killed my brother, he has a blood feud with my Wang family, please help me kill Wang Hui's ministers no matter what, avenge my two dead brothers, and I will repay my son as a cow and a horse." ”
As she spoke, Faye Wong wanted to bow down.
Zhang Yuan hurriedly helped Faye Wong up, took a deep breath, and said: "Wang Hui has tried to harm me several times, he is our common enemy, I, Zhang Yuan, swear to heaven here, I will definitely break Wang Hui and Song Qian into pieces, and avenge your Wang family and myself." ”
Angry vows echoed like thunder in the wilderness.
Faye Wong's sadness and grief eased a lot, and she was grateful to Zhang Yuan in her heart, and she was full of affection, but she didn't care about any manners, she threw herself into Zhang Yuan's arms again, and hugged him deeply.
"Wang Hui, you hypocrite, sooner or later I will let you die without a place to be buried......"
Zhang Yuan caressed the sad beauty in his arms, silently reciting the name that disgusted him, and the oath of revenge was deeply engraved in his heart.
The battle has just begun.
After comforting Faye Wong a little, Zhang Yuan waved his troops and horses and continued to pursue Wang Hui.
In this battle, he wanted to make a plan, not only to recapture Liuxian, but also to take advantage of the situation to take Leping, burn the war to Litong District, keep the enemy out of the country, and completely reverse the passive situation of the war with Dong Zhuo.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan led 14,000 cavalry soldiers, followed Wang Hui's defeated soldiers all the way, and pursued them relentlessly.
Wang Hui's more than 1,000 remnants of the army were defeated, and how could he be an opponent, the head of the Han Dynasty, decisively abandoned his subordinates, and fled north in a hurry under the protection of Song Qian and Wang Fei.
Pity the remnants of more than 1,000 soldiers, after being abandoned by Wang Hui, they were destroyed by Zhang Yuan's army, killing them like rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.
Wang Hui, who was frightened, did not dare to enter the county, passed around the city, and fled straight to Leping.
This is not enough.
After Zhang Yuanbing regained Liuxian without blood, he led the army to continue northward and pursued Wang Hui along Surabaya.
For two days and two nights, Zhang Yuan chased endlessly, and defeated Wang Hui's several blockades several times along the way.
Wang Hui, who was defeated like a mountain and fell, did not dare to confront Zhang Yuan again, and fled all the way to Leping, with only two generals left around him, and less than two hundred remnants.
Those who stayed in Leping were the guest generals and companies, as well as the strategist Jian Zheng, who commanded only 500 soldiers and horses.
Seeing Zhang Yuan chasing after him, Wang Hui knew that Leping could not be defended, and he didn't even dare to enter the city gate, so he went directly around the west of the city, and only sent people into the city to inform Helian and Jian Zheng, and ordered him to lead the army to abandon the city and flee west.
Just when Wang Hui's front foot had just passed Leping and he didn't have time to catch his breath, Zhang Yuan had already led more than 3,000 troops in the front to chase after him like a storm.
Le Ma on the small mound, Zhang Yuanying looked north, Leping City in full view.
Zhang Yuan knows very well how important this small city is to Bingzhou.
Leping is located in the upper reaches of Surabaya, originally belonged to the state, but because it is located in the mouth of the road from the Central Plains to the state, so it has always been regarded as the gateway to the state, since the time of Zhang Yang's rule and the state, Leping has been included in the sphere of influence, Wang Hui's reign era is also the same.
It was only after he and Liu Bao joined forces to seize the state that Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to seize Leping and ordered Wang Hui to lead the army to defend it.
Leping is in Dong Zhuo's hands for a day, which means that Dong Zhuo has set up a cannon at the gate of Bingzhou at all times, so that Zhang Yuan must guard against it day and night.
This strategic location is in front of him, and because of Wang Hui's defeat, he is in a position of emptiness, how can Zhang Yuan miss such a great opportunity.
"Take Leping, you can completely merge the gate of Song Shang and the state, if it weren't for Wang Hui's attack on Liuxian, I wouldn't have such a good opportunity, Dong Zhuo, your trick just fulfilled me, Wang Gang didn't die in vain......" Zhang Yuan was sarcastic in his heart, so Zhun Hui ordered to seize the city.
At this juncture, Leping's originally closed city gate suddenly moved.
The gates of the city were opened, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of people fled from the city crowded with their families and mouths, and rushed towards the westward avenue.
In just a few moments, the number of people who escaped reached four or five thousand, and the entire avenue was crowded to the point of impassability.
Zhang Yuan's brows darkened, and he immediately ordered the scouts to go to reconnoitre.
The scout's report really confirmed Zhang Yuan's guess, it turned out that Wang Hui did not enter Leping, and fled from the West Avenue to the hinterland of the Central Plains one step in advance.
However, before Wang Hui fled, he sent people to spread rumors around the city, claiming that after Zhang Yuan entered Leping, he would slaughter the city to vent his hatred, and called on the people in the city to flee with him.
Since Wang Hui was stationed in Leping, he often preached to the people in the city how Zhang Yuan was brutal and how he was massacred after stealing his annexed state.
Now as soon as the people of Leping heard that Zhang Yuan was going to kill, Wang Hui was slightly incited, and they were all frightened and fled with their families.
Before leaving, Wang Hui ordered that the other three gates of Leping should not be opened, only the west gate should be opened, and the people would be allowed to flee.
As a result, thousands of people could only flock to the west, and soon blocked the west avenue to the point of impassability, blocking the route of Zhang Yuan's pursuit, which was equivalent to becoming Wang Hui's meat shield.
If Zhang Yuan wants to continue the pursuit, he will step on the corpses of these people, and bear the infamy of slaughtering the people.
Moreover, these thousands of people, even if Zhang Yuan wants to kill, he will kill them for a while, and the time delayed is enough for Wang Hui to escape away.
"I actually thought of such a poisonous trick, Wang Lao Thief, you are really the ancestor of the escape technique, no wonder where you fled in history, you didn't forget to fool a group of ignorant people when you left, I think they are all used as meat shields......"
Zhang Yuan's fists were clenched secretly, and deep disgust flowed in his eagle eyes.
"Husband, Wang Hui must not have fled far yet, let's rush up and disperse these people, maybe we can catch up with Wang Hui." Fan Lihua couldn't wait to shout.
After all, Fan Lihua is just a general, and the angle of looking at the problem is very simple, in her opinion, as long as she can kill Wang Hui and kill a few people by the way, it is not a big deal.
Zhang Yuan couldn't.
Killing the people like this may not be able to catch up with Wang Hui, but it will also fall into Wang Hui's arms, and through the mouths of these people, his brutal image will be spread throughout the Central Plains.
In the future, it is imperative to compete with Dong Zhuo for the Central Plains, and Zhang Yuan doesn't want to make his reputation stink before he makes a move.
Moreover, the main purpose of this battle is to capture Leping, and now that the strategic goal has been achieved, even if Wang Hui escapes, it is expected, and it is not a big deal. (To be continued.) )
