Chapter 248: Hebei in the palm of your hand

After a few rounds of crossbow arrows, half of the officers and men in the water of the Zhangjaw Army were killed, and the Youzhou fleet had slowly pressed up at this time.

"Catapult, prepare!"

On the flagship, Zhou Tai held the command flag, stood under the banner of the word "Zhou", and waved his hands again and again.

On countless ships, there was a sour sound of 'creaking' in an instant. Zhang Jaw looked up, only to see that on those ships, rows of steel behemoths had been pushed onto the deck at some point, to the side of the ship.

Several soldiers surrounded a steel giant beast, moving in an orderly manner, some parts of the steel giant beast actually moved, and one by one the power arms stretched out from it, and then I saw a soldier holding the oil tank and putting it in the iron nest at the top of the power arm!

"Ignition!"

"Projection!"

Whew

With the violent sound of the wind, the large and ignited oil cans were thrown out, and they all rumbled and smashed on the wooden boats of the Zhang Jaw Army.

Boom, boom, boom

The boat was smashed, the big ship was set on fire!

A gust of river wind blows, the wind fuels the fire, and the fire spreads in an instant, like a domino effect, and it moves forward rapidly!

Ahhh

Countless soldiers of the Jaw Army were on fire and jumped into the surging Yellow River, and countless wooden boats were burned!

The screams and scolding mothers are endless!

It's miserable, it's really a shame!

Zhou Tai looked at the fire that filled the river, and unconsciously wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"That's wrong, isn't it?" Zhou Tai was a little weak and asked left and right.

The left and right lieutenant generals and personal guards glanced at him, rolled their eyes sharply, and did not answer.

"Uh, Governor." Someone said: "Although it seems that it should be against the will of the lord, but in order to deter the enemy army, this is also a last resort, right?" The general can urgently write a letter and confess his guilt, and presumably the lord will not blame him too much. ”

Zhou Tai nodded involuntarily. The way of the heart should indeed confess its sins.

I remembered what Liu Yuan said that between the same clan, if you can't kill too much, you should try to minimize it. Now he already has the advantage, but he let go of the fire under the excitement, and now he regrets it a little.

Zhang Jaw looked at the steel fleet in the water in the distance, thinking about what to do. Yuan Shao asked him to send troops to occupy Hanoi, and he couldn't give up completely because of defeat, right?

However, after thinking about it, I found that the so-called method does not exist at all.

First, the weapons on the enemy's ships are giant steel crossbows, which attack at a very long distance, and your own archers can't shoot that far, and they can't reach it.

Second, the enemy's ships are iron ships, which are far superior to their own in any way, and no matter the rockets, even regardless of losses, it is useless to drive the ship to rush over.

To put it bluntly, in terms of equipment, there is no comparison at all, what to take to fight the enemy? Fill it with your life? I'm afraid that before it gets close, the whole army will be wiped out!

Besides, when you look at the enemy's fleet like this, you will know that the enemy army has definitely undergone strict training in water warfare, and its own army is all land forces, and it is not an opponent at all on the water?

After thinking about it, Zhang Jaw had no choice but to gather the army, camp on the spot, confront it, and send people to report back to Luoyang.

Zhou Tai saw that Yuan Shaojun was like this, and he did not rush to kill them, so he ordered the fleet to drop anchor collectively and block it on the spot, and he went to the cabin to write a letter of guilt.

Luoyang, Yuan Shao received a battle report from Zhang Jaw, and angrily scolded Liu Yuan for being shameless!

After some calculations before, it seems that now it seems that he has completely made a wedding dress for others!

After Yuan Shao calmed down, he thought about it carefully, and the only way to do this was to try to recapture Zuo Fengyi and Hanoi, so there was no need to hope for it.

It is said that Wang Kuang led the army to rest in Yangfantian for a night, and the next morning he waved his army and marched to kill Benji Pass. At the same time, an army of about 100,000 people marched from Ye County, Wei County, and slaughtered into Wang Kuang's lair, Hanoi County!

Due to Wang Kuang's desperate gamble, almost all the combat-effective troops in Hanoi were completely transferred, and the army of Jizhou did not encounter any large-scale resistance at all, and soon occupied the central and eastern part of Hanoi!

At this time, Wang Kuang didn't know at all.

Wang Kuang led the army to the Jiguan Pass, and saw that there was a big banner with the word 'Zhang' on the pass, and he was a little confused.

Isn't this Jiguan Gongsun Zhan's righteous brother Le He should be the guard? Could it be a temporary substitution?

Wang Kuang led a cadre of military generals to the front and sent people to ask questions, asking the main general to come out and answer.

After a while, Zhang Yanrong pretended to be and came to the city.

"Yo, isn't this Wang Kuang Wang Taishou? How can you have the interest to run in this mountain to go green? ”

Zhang Yan said with a strange voice and laughed.

Wang Kuang stared at it, and his face suddenly sank: "Zhang Yan!?" ”

When Zhang Yan was a bandit, he led the thieves into Hanoi to plunder, and Wang Kuang hated him to the core, so he naturally recognized him. Seeing that this Kei Pass was actually occupied by Zhang Yan, Wang Kuang's heart changed and shouted: "Zhang Yan's thief, he dares to openly occupy the pass and attack the imperial court fortress, he deserves death!" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, she was not angry, and said with a smile: "Wang Taishou, I deserve to die, so why are you bringing so many people here, what a young man?!" ”

"Humph!" Wang Kuang snorted coldly and shouted: "Lord Ben is at the will of the Son of Heaven and leads the Hedong Taishou, why can't I come to this Keiguan!?" Zhang Yan, who knows each other, immediately open the city gate and sacrifice the Keiguan, otherwise my heavenly soldiers will come and break your body into thousands of pieces! ”

"Hahahaha"

Listening to Wang Kuang's words, Zhang Yan couldn't stop laughing: "Old man Wang, are you kidding?" Do you know that Zhang is now an official of the imperial court? ”

"What!?" Wang Kuang was dumbfounded: "What kind of court official are you?!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Yan snorted coldly: "A certain is ordered by the king of Yuyang to guard Jiguan!" Wang Kuang, those who know each other hurry up and lead the troops to retreat, otherwise you will evil my lord, and you will not be forgiven! ”

"Yuyang King!?" Wang Kuang's face turned pale, and he almost turned over and fell off the horse.

"No wonder, no wonder!" Wang Kuang's eyes were blank, and his expression was dull: "I should have known that King Yuyang would not let go of the two counties of Hedong in Hanoi."

"Zhang Yan, tell me, has the army of the King of Yuyang occupied my Hanoi!?"

Zhang Yan had just joined the Youzhou camp and didn't know much about it, but if he could scare Wang Kuang, it would naturally be good. So he nodded and said, "Wang Kuang, you are also a smart person." Now, General Gao Shun has invaded Hedong, and Hedong is already in the lord's pocket. As soon as you walk on the front foot, the Jizhou army will follow up on the back foot, presumably Hanoi has also fallen into the hands of the lord at this time! Hehe, Wang Kuang, you are already a lost dog, homeless! ”

Bang!

If there was a thunderstorm on dry land, Wang Kuang only felt dizzy, and fell off his horse with a thud, unconscious.

The surrounding Wenchen generals hurriedly helped him up, Wang Kuang struggled to open his eyes, said and camped on the spot, and completely fainted.

Zhang Yan looked at the chaotic scene in the city with a smile, and her mind was full of thoughts, and she immediately had some ideas.

At nightfall, a team of men and horses came out of the pass, quietly came to the outside of Wang Kuang's camp, and then took a bow and shot arrows, and ran away.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The terrible screams blew the entire camp apart.

Countless Wang Kuangjun soldiers ran out of the tents, but they didn't see the enemy, but they saw arrows all over the ground, and there were still some things tied to the arrows.

"Huh! What is it?! ”

A soldier picked up an arrow and tore it off from it.

"It's written on it!"

"Whoever is literate should come and read it to everyone."

"Well, let me see what Hanoi has been occupied by the Jizhou Army of the Youzhou Army!? Hanoi is gone?! How's that going!? ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they were all shocked!

Hanoi was occupied, and they were left alone and homeless!

At the same time, these soldiers were all natives of Hanoi, and they were very worried about their families, and some of them wept, some scolded, and some did not say a word.

The news soon spread throughout the camp, and 200,000 people were alarmed!

"No wonder Wang Taishou turned over and fell off the horse, and said that he had committed a head wind, it must be because of this!"

"Yes, yes!"

"How can this battle be fought!? It's better to surrender! ”

"Well, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed, now, now, this is how I live, how to live!"

It's messy, it's messy!

The morale of the 200,000-strong army was lost, and the entire camp was in chaos.

At this time, those high-level generals came back to their senses, and while collecting the paper in the hands of the soldiers, they issued gag orders, and even beheaded a few of the most violent people, but they still couldn't stop their morale from plummeting!

When Wang Kuang woke up, it was already noon on the second day.

Knowing what happened last night, Wang Kuang only sighed softly, without any words at all.

Now, he is extremely dazed, the nest has been taken away, where to go!?

For the Youzhou Army and Liu Yuan, Wang Kuang felt extremely scared from the bottom of his heart. There are Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass in the distance, Liu Yuan is mighty, he saw it with his own eyes! Recently, there was a battle in Qingzhou, and it was rumored that the Youzhou army could actually use the art of immortals!

So he lost faith from the bottom of his heart.

He did not think at all about returning to the army to fight back and retake Hanoi. Because he always thinks that it is useless, and his army is not the opponent of the Youzhou army at all!

The entire Wang Kuang army, up to Wang Kuang and other upper-level civil and military personnel, down to the pawn martial arts, is completely sad and resigned to fate! Depressed, extremely depressed.

The next night, another wave of arrows came in from outside the camp.

The soldiers picked it up and looked at it, but it was a letter of persuasion.

It is said that those who abandon their weapons and surrender, preferential treatment, and other clauses, make the hearts of the soldiers who are as cold as ice move. Even some generals and colonels have thought about it.

In this way, several consecutive days of persuasion and threats made the entire Wang Kuang army a plate of scattered sand. Regardless of the soldiers and generals, everyone has his own thoughts. Some people even proposed surrender to Wang Kuang in person.

After another day, the Jizhou army completely occupied Hanoi, advanced westward, came to the Jiguan, and met Wang Kuangjun!

"Surrender!"

Wang Kuang described the withered tree, only said this, led the generals and colonels, personally went out of the camp, came to the enemy barracks, and presented a letter of surrender.

When he learned of the whole process, the commander of this army was very happy, and he called Zhang Yan, who was still in Jiguan, out.

Zhang Yan opened the tent door, walked into the big tent, looked up, and saw that on the main seat, a white-faced, beardless, heroic and majestic man sat there, and a burst of heroic aura filled the entire camp tent, Zhang Yan was pressed and his neck shrunk, and he was suddenly shocked.

"You're Zhang Yan?!"

A heroic voice came, and Zhang Yan hurriedly bowed his hand: "The last general, Zhang Yan, has seen the general!" ”

"Yes, that's good! Well done you! The white-faced man laughed, and the whole big tent trembled: "This general will ask for credit for you in front of the lord!" ”

Zhang Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her.

"Sit." The white-faced general asked Zhang Yan to sit down and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we were still a family five hundred years ago. General Ben is also surnamed Zhang, and his name is Fei! ”

"Ahh Zhang Yan was shocked at this time, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, the commander of the Liaodong Army!

This is a great god, a regular army commander who is one level higher than General Gao Shun! Originally, Zhang Yan, who still had some mustard in his heart, thought that someone was robbing him of credit, and his mind suddenly disappeared!

Can it not go away!?

This is Zhang Fei! The big man who has followed the king of Yuyang for ten years! O commander of an army!
