Chapter 200: Anzhong County Surrenders

Combat requires space, especially horse battles, which need to have a certain distance, so that the horse can increase the power of the sprint attack.

However, although Dian Wei was stout, he was extremely flexible, using Xu Huang's war horse and entangled Xu Huang, so that Xu Huang could not get out of the battle for a while, and used the impact of the war horse to charge and kill Dian Wei.

and then used the obstacle of Xu Huang's war horse, so that Xiahou Dun's continuous rush and killing failed to attack Dian Wei.

Seeing that Xu Huang was attacked by Dian Wei, he was angry and jumped off his horse to attack.

A general who is good at foot combat may not be good at horse fighting, but a horse general, they will definitely be very skilled in foot combat. Because, when they practice martial arts, they must have started with foot combat.

With a loud roar, Xiahou Dan brought up a violent spirit with a spear, and swept towards Dian Wei like a mountain and a sea.

With a ding, Dian Wei had a double halberd, and the whole person was swept aside by Xiahoudun's spear.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang was also angry when he was suppressed by Dian Wei, and when he saw Dian Wei being repelled by Xiahou Xuan, he was immediately liberated. Xu Huang's combat IQ is also very high, he knows that Dian Wei's halberd technique is exquisite, and his footwork is difficult, and it is impossible for him to ride on a war horse to attack Dian Wei again. Therefore, he immediately abandoned his horse, pounced directly from his horse, and slashed down at Dian Wei with an axe.

Dingdingding......

Sparks flew, and Dian Wei blocked Xu Huang's big axe with a halberd, but Xiahou Dun followed and attacked again, so that Dian Wei was completely suppressed by the two generals for a while, and he could only defend but not counterattack.

All three generals are super generals. The frequency of attacks is very fast, and in many cases, they can only attack or parry by their own senses.

On the grass where the two fought. In the eyes of the officers and men of the two armies, they could only see the shadow of an axe and a halberd spear, and it was difficult to see the three generals themselves.

From time to time, there was a bump, bursting out of clouds of dust and smoke.

I saw Xiahou Dun's spear like a dragon, Xu Huang's big axe like a tiger, the dragon and tiger roared, and the sound shook the sky.

And Dian Wei. A pair of halberds, like a two-headed monster snake, danced impenetrable in the attack of the dragon and tiger. From time to time, the sudden desire to break through the sky, the light is uncertain.

"Drink!"

Dian Wei's double halberd crossed, blocking Xu Huang's axe at once, ignoring Xiahou Dun who attacked from the side. Suddenly, it was like a mountain. directly pushed Xu Huang, who was attacking for a while, and even the people with axes were up.

"Kill!" Dian Wei's body rushed straight, kicked out with both feet in a row, and kicked Xu Huang straight down the plate.

Bumper Bumper ......

Xu Huang even used his knee to block Dian Wei's several kicks, but he himself was shocked by the force of the two of them's backlash and fell backwards.

"Die!" Xiahoudun's spear seemed to have chased Dian Wei's back, and it was about to stab Dian Wei.

However, it is equivalent to Dian Wei who kicked out of the air in the air. But he suddenly turned around, and his figure seemed to rise a little out of thin air. With a snap, he actually pointed one foot on the spear of Xiahoudun who attacked from behind.

Choke!

Dian Wei slid along Xiahoudun's spear, and the double halberd in his hand was unfurled, hitting Xiahoudun's face door.

"Hey!"

How could Xiahoudun let Dian Wei hit him, his spear shook one by one, directly knocked Dian Wei aside, followed by the spear and stabbed, and followed Dian Wei's falling figure to attack.

The master has made a move, thrilling and dizzying.

Bite!

Dian Wei turned around on the ground, and then used his double halberd to resist Xiahoudun's spear, but his figure was forced by Xiahoudun's strength to slip back more than ten steps.

"Kill!"

Xiahoudun and Xu Huang would not give Dian Wei time to breathe at all, and followed Dian Wei one after the other to kill him.

"Haha! Joyfully! That's all for today! ”

Dian Wei accepted it when he saw it, and under the continuous attacks of the two generals, it was indeed difficult for him to defeat them. Even if he desperately kills one of the generals, he himself will be damaged, although Dian Wei is belligerent, but he is not the kind of guy who does not have a little combat intelligence, so while he is now out of the battle with the two generals, he quickly laughed, turned his feet and left, and rushed back to his own formation.

Everyone is a super fierce general, everyone has the ability to press the bottom of the box, and no one will be killed lightly. For this point, Dian Wei knew very well in his heart that if he really forced everyone to work hard, no one would be able to get too many benefits.

"Where to run! Stay alive! ”

Xiahoudun and Xu Huang didn't really want to let go of Dian Wei, who was full of running guns, but they couldn't catch up when they wanted to, so they had to roar loudly.

In the east of Anzhong County, there was also the battle between Dian Wei and Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, and the fierce and dangerous battle of the three generals made the soldiers on both sides a little angry, and they did not stop cheering and shouting, or scolding each other.

However, compared with the bustle in the east of Anzhong County, the north of Anzhong County is particularly quiet.

No matter how Xu Zhu called the battle, Zhang Liao just didn't fight.

At this time, Zhang Liao's heart was really very contradictory, although he and Guan Yu kept saying that he and Guan Yu had their own masters, and they could only be loyal to their own masters. However, in Zhang Liao's heart, Liu Yi also has a great kindness to him, his brother Gao Shun, although he is not in the current New Han Army, but if he really fights with the New Han Army, he will have a feeling of sorry for his brother and sorry for Liu Yi in his heart.

Therefore, in the face of the call of the general of the New Han Army, he really couldn't make up his mind, and it was difficult to make up his mind whether to go to war for a while.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that even if he led the Jingzhou army to battle, it would probably be in vain, because he didn't think that the Jingzhou army, which had lost its morale at present, still had the heart to dare to fight head-on with the Xinhan army.

Now, he just wanted to wait for Hou Cao Cao's order to see if Cao Cao would lead his army across the river to join forces with him to defend Anzhong County, or whether he would lead his army to abandon this Jingzhou defense line.

At this time, Cao Cao was also very depressed and very contradictory in Xinye City.

In Cao Cao's heart, he really wanted to cross the river with his army immediately, and then defend the county seat of Anzhong, and then slowly recapture this important defense line in the north of Jingzhou. However, his current military horses, burned by the fire of Shinno Castle, had greatly reduced the morale of his soldiers. The fighting spirit has weakened, and at this moment, everyone is still undecided. How does this call him to cross the river with his army?

Moreover, Cao Cao knew that even if he forcibly crossed the river with his army at this time, he was afraid that there would be a bitter battle, and even whether he could lead the army to cross the Yushui River, which was not too dangerous, would be questionable.

Previously, his military horses wanted to send troops to cross the river twice in a row to join the Jingzhou army on the Jingzhou defense line, but they were all defeated by the Xinhan army in ambush. Right now. Obviously, does he Cao Cao dare to lead his army across the river rashly?

It is foreseeable that there will definitely be scout spies of the New Han Army staring at his military horses in Xinye now. If his military horse makes any moves, it will inevitably fall into the eyes and ears of the New Han army.

Ignoring what will happen to the Xinhan army, even if he leads the military horses to the Yushui River, he has more than 200,000 military horses. It's impossible to wade across a river, right? You have to have a boat to cross the river. This one. After they prepared the tools to cross the river, the New Han army might have arrived. After calculating that they have the tools to cross the river, the military horses can cross the river when they reach the Yushui River, but how long does it take for more than 200,000 military horses to cross the river? If you can cross the river in half an hour, you may still be able to cross the river, but. Is half an hour okay? As soon as possible, the pontoon bridge was erected. More than 200,000 men and horses, without an hour, do not want to cross the river.

If the army is halfway through and is attacked by the cavalry of the New Han Army, then will he not face another crushing defeat?

Therefore, Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, but it was difficult to make a decision.

Of course, in addition, if Zhang Liao led his army to cross the river and join his military horses, he also had to consider how many military horses Zhang Liao could lead back, because, in the same way, the New Han army would not let Zhang Liao cross the river smoothly.

Cao Cao hoped that Zhang Liao could now hold the county seat of Anzhong first, so that he would have more time to cross the river, and he could cross the river a little further downstream to avoid the attack of the New Han army, but could Liu Yi give him time? Can Zhang Liao defend the county seat of Anzhong? Now, the Jingzhou defense line has been broken, Cao Cao does not have to guess, he can also imagine that the new Han army that broke through the western section of the Jingzhou defense line must be besieging Anzhong County non-stop at this moment, if Zhang Liao wants to defend Ancong County, he is afraid that his whole army will be surrounded by the New Han army in a city.

There is no way, even if Cao Cao is unwilling, he can only choose, let Zhang Liao immediately give up Anzhong County, lead the Jingzhou army to withdraw to Xiangyang, and join Cai Mao in Xiangyang, and the entire Jingzhou army will receive Zhang He's military horses into the central area of Jingzhou.

However, how could the Xinhan army let the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County withdraw lightly?

In half a day, the military horses of Dian Wei have cleared the obstacles in the east of Anzhong City, so that the military horses of the New Han Army can directly attack its city walls.

And in this small half a day, Qin Jie's 100,000 military horses have also advanced towards Anzhong County.

In this small half a day, Liu Yi has already led a military horse from Wancheng, plus the military horses of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and has arrived in Anzhong County.

At this time, Zhang Liao had just received Cao Cao's order, asking Zhang Liao to immediately abandon the town and defend the county seat of Anzhong, and the whole army would retreat to Xiangyang.

The situation was very critical, Zhang Liao didn't dare to hesitate, he hurriedly asked Xiahoudun, Xu Huang, Li Dian and other Cao generals to immediately lead the army to evacuate Anzhong County.

Of course, Zhang Liao now, he didn't dare to let the New Han army know their intention to retreat immediately, because he knew that he had missed the best time to retreat because he was waiting for Cao Cao's order, so he had to make the New Han army think that his military horses were still left in Anzhong County to defend them, at least to lay out an illusion, so that Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang and other generals would lead the army to retreat first. He himself had to stay in Anzhong County and lead a part of the army and horses to drag the Xinhan army.

On the surface, the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County is still staggered, hunting with battle flags, and it is impossible to see that the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County has quietly withdrawn from the south of the city at this moment.

Liu Yi is not an immortal, and at this moment, he can't see that the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County has withdrawn.

Liu Yi, accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, rode his horse to the city of Anzhong County.

"Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan, don't come unharmed? Haha, unexpectedly, we met again. Liu Yi shouted to Zhang Liao at the head of the city.

"It turned out to be the Taifu, please forgive Zhang for not being able to come to the Taifu in person."

"Hehe, there's no need to see the ceremony, Liu knows your Zhang Wenyuan's temperament. Well, how are sister-in-law and Hu'er okay? Liu Yi turned to Zhang Liaola and said in a homely manner.

"Thank you Taifu for your care, the dog and the dog are well, and please tell my brother Gao Shun, I Zhang is ashamed of him. At this moment, I am ashamed of the Taifu. But ......"

"Alright, Wenyuan. There are some things, some words, needless to say, everyone knows in their hearts. I, Liu Yi, will not be strong, and I will not let you abandon your wife and children to join me Liu Yi. When we meet on the battlefield, we don't need to think about the affection between each other. Do what you have to do, don't go against your heart. Liu Yi interrupted Zhang Liao's words and said, "At this moment." Anzhong County can't hold it, and I, Liu Yi, don't want to fight with you Zhang Wenyuan, so be it. I'll let you go, let's go, I, Liu Yi, will definitely not leave you in trouble. ”

"Taifu ......" Zhang Liao looked a little emotional, and bowed to Liu Yi with his fists on the head of the city and opened his mouth to speak.

"Needless to say." Liu Yi raised his hand to stop Zhang Liao. continued: "I'm just letting you and the Cao Cao men you brought with you leave. Jingzhou military horses. I, Liu Yi, will not let them leave, because now that Jingzhou has openly surrendered to Cao Cao, if the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou are allowed to surrender to Cao Cao, it will definitely bring a great threat to my New Han Army. You should understand this. ”

"Yes, Zhang understands. However, Taifu can treat Zhang so kindly. I Zhang Liao can't repay it. Zhang Liao wanted to explain to Liu Yi, now. Most of the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County has retreated to Xiangyang, but now there are many people in the city and under the city, if he really says it, then there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, Cao Cao knows it, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate him.

"Give you an hour's time, and my new Han army will enter the city, I think, Wenyuan, you don't want to see a river of blood flowing in front of Anzhong County, right? Jingzhou Army, surrender to our Xinhan Army, I, Liu Yi, promise that I will not embarrass them, so be it. ”

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Liao to make a statement, and turned back to the battle.

"Wenyuan, west of Anzhong County, the 100,000 troops of the Qin Jie Department of the New Han Army are about to arrive, if you want to leave, leave early, otherwise, if you are really besieged by us, you will leave, and it will be difficult for you to explain to Cao Cao if you go back. Taifu, this is for your own good. Guan Yu couldn't help but also reminded Zhang Liaodao.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Liao silently rushed to Guan Yu under the city.

He looked around at the New Han Army under the city of Anzhong, looking at the situation of the New Han Army's military columns, his eyes were a little complicated, after thinking about it, he resolutely turned around and strode down the city tower.

Not long after, Zhang Liao led a military horse out of the city from the south of Anzhong City, he did not chase the Jingzhou military horses led by Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and other Cao generals, but rushed directly to the Yushui River, extradited across the river, and went to Xinye City to meet Cao Cao.

He knew that in his life, he was afraid that it would be difficult to be an enemy of Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty, so he could only avoid it, he had to go to Xinye to explain the situation to Cao Cao and ask to return to Luoyang, even if he would rather lead the army to attack other princes for Cao Cao, he would not want to be an enemy of the New Han Army.

He felt that Liu Yi was right, no matter what, he couldn't go against his heart. Cao Cao caught him and didn't kill him, this can be regarded as Cao Cao's magnanimity towards him, he is also for his wife and children to live, and he should serve Cao Cao. However, for the sake of a person who is tolerant of his own appreciation, to deal with someone who is kind to him, this will make Zhang Liao feel that it is against his own heart, which will make him very embarrassed, he would rather Cao Cao give him death, as long as it does not harm his wife and children, he can accept it.

Not long after Zhang Liao left, the remaining Jingzhou soldiers who had lost their backbone opened the city gate and let the New Han army enter the city.

In fact, after Jiaxia County was broken by the Xinhan Army, the Jingzhou Army no longer had any strategic significance in staying in Anzhong County. Therefore, even the Jingzhou army itself, they felt that there was no need to make senseless sacrifices, if they did not take the initiative to open the city and surrender, if they really wanted the Xinhan army to forcibly attack, they would die in vain. In such a situation, how long will they not surrender?

What's more, for the Jingzhou army, it is more willing to let them surrender to the New Han Army than to submit to Cao Cao.

Not long after, Qin Jie also led his army to arrive and join Liu Yi.

In this way, the defense line in the north of Jingzhou was completely broken, and it all fell into the hands of the New Han Army. In other words, the current Jingxiang is equivalent to an undefended territory, and the New Han Army can come to Xiangyang at any time.

When Liu Yi led the generals into the county seat of Anzhong, he was welcomed by many people in Anzhong County, and the people in the city, they had been looking forward to it for a long time, hoping that they could return to the rule of the New Han Dynasty as much as possible, so that they could live a peaceful and prosperous life like the people of Wancheng.

Of course, after entering the city, Liu Yi also knew that Jingzhou's army had withdrawn. Moreover, some people reported to Liu Yi that they saw with their own eyes that Zhang Liao had crossed the Yushui River to the east to Xinye.

Liu Yi thought about it, but he could also figure out what Zhang Liao meant. Without Zhang Liao's presence, Liu Yi naturally wouldn't be polite to Cao Cao's people and the Jingzhou army. Immediately ordered the generals to immediately pursue the Jingzhou military horses that retreated to Xiangyang. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sent out.

Well, someone sued Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, knowing that Xiahoudun and Xu Huang were among those Jingzhou troops. For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang were the culprits who killed Liu Bei. There is no need for Liu Yi to let them go after them, they will all go by themselves.

For the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Yi temporarily asked them to integrate Liu Bei's original military horses, and gave them the establishment of two armies, namely the 51st Army and the 52nd Army. For the time being, it is not fully staffed, and after this battle is over, they will be asked to reorganize the generals and horses, and then transfer the weapons and equipment of the New Han Army to them. Naturally, it is indispensable to send some generals of the New Han Army to popularize some military regulations and knowledge of the New Han Army to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. A number of civilian officials were also sent to help them improve the shortcomings of their army.

Qin Jie, who rushed to Anzhong, also asked Liu Yi for battle, hoping to continue to pursue the Jingzhou army.

Liu Yi thought that Qin Jie's army and horses had fought for a night and marched for another day, considering the physical problems of his army, he did not let him continue to lead the army to pursue, but let them stay in Anzhong, rest first, and beware of Liu Bei's army in Xinye City.
