Chapter 047: Zhang He at the end of the road
The moment Hua Xiong led 4,000 cavalry to Zhang He's camp, it decided the fate of Zhang He's army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang He was too confident and sent all the cavalry to attack the city, and the war horses were left in the camp. Huaxiong's Xiliang soldiers were all masters of horse control, and they not only controlled the horses left by Zhang He in the camp, but also killed the 1,000 soldiers left by Zhang He.
"General! Withdraw! It's too late! "When Zhang He's guards saw the camp on fire, and countless cavalry galloped through their camp, everyone knew that the general trend was gone.
Zhang He stared at the big camp in the distance and muttered, "ThisβHow is this possible? β
Seeing that the cavalry in the large camp was killing towards his side, Zhang He hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw in the direction of Tugu City. However, it was too late! Zhang He once again underestimated the combat power of the cavalry under Hua Xiong. The death of thousands of soldiers bought more than a dozen war horses for Zhang He and his personal guards. Zhang He hurriedly fled the battlefield with dozens of horsemen.
After Zhang He fled, all the remaining soldiers surrendered. The Battle of Yuling ended with a great victory for Zhang Bao, who captured more than 9,000 Jizhou soldiers.
Zhang He took more than forty horsemen to the foot of Tugu City, and the sky was already slightly bright at this time: "Open the city gate quickly!" General Zhang is back! β
Su Binghe, who was resting in the attic of the city, was woken up by the soldiers and came to the city, and when he saw Zhang He under the city, he laughed and said, "General Zhang He?" My lord has already taken Tugu City, so you better get off your horse and surrender! Come on, shoot me! β
In the rain of arrows, Zhang He's personal guards were caught off guard and were shot to death. Zhang He had no choice but to flee to the direction of Dongping Lingcheng with the remaining thirty or so horsemen again.
When Zhang He led people to the east gate of Dongping Ling City, the time was already noon. At this time, Zhang Bao had already rested for a long time with the special combat team members and 100 soldiers at the head of the city.
"Open the city gate quickly, General Zhang is back!" Zhang He's guards shouted loudly.
Zhang Bao heard that he was clever, got up and looked at the city, and saw that the other party only had about 30 horses, and his heart moved at the moment, and he quickly took the special combat team members down the city tower, and then the city gate was opened, and Zhang Bao rushed to Zhang He and his party with forty special combat personnel.
Puff puff......
With the sound of a series of crossbow arrows entering his body, the guards around Zhang He were shot one by one. Only the four people behind Zhang He are still alive.
"Protect the General!"
Seeing this, the four of them rode horses and surrounded Zhang He.
With a wave of Zhang Bao's hand, the special combat team members quickly surrounded Zhang He and the five people. One by one, they raised their crossbow arrows on their horses and pointed them at Zhang He and the five people.
Zhang Bao stood behind everyone at this time, and said to Zhang He with a smile: "General Zhang, don't come unharmed." In Xiaqingzhou Prefecture, Mu Zhang Bao, I have admired General Zhang for a long time! β
Seeing this, Zhang He threw away the spear in his hand, brushed his hair with both hands, and then looked up at the sky: "I didn't expect that I, Zhang He, would be defeated in the hands of a child!" What a shame on me! Lord, Zhang He can't stand you! β
After Zhang He finished speaking, he rolled off the horse and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao said to Zhang He: "General Zhang doesn't have to be like this, I don't mean to spoil the general's life." Besides, you and I are both surnamed Zhang, a few years ago, we were still a family, why bother to see each other like this. β
Zhang He looked at Zhang Bao when he heard this, and sneered: "Hmph! I don't dare to be a family with you! You're a big ghost! Even Dong Zhuo's gold can be stolen! There's nothing else you can't do. β
Zhang Bao laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha...... General Zhang, you are so humorous!" However, it is still necessary to remind General Zhang: You are now defeated, and Yuan Shao will definitely kill you when you go back! It's better for you to be imprisoned by me for the time being, and Yuan Shao will not implicate your family because of your defeat, I don't know what General Zhang thinks? β
Hearing this, Zhang He sneered again: "Since I am defeated, 50,000 Jizhou disciples will be buried here with me, what face do I have to return to Jizhou!" Lord, your subordinates go first! β
"General, no!" Zhang He wanted to commit suicide, but was hugged by the four guards around him.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao said loudly: "Zhang He, you coward, if you dare to commit suicide, I will kill all the prisoners of the Jizhou army, and let you be a negative example that will be remembered for thousands of years." β
Hearing this, Zhang He looked at Zhang Bao angrily.
Zhang Bao then said: "People who can't even afford to fail are not worthy of my attention!" Come, and put them in prison. β
Hou Da then took his subordinates and escorted Zhang He and the five people into Dongping Lingcheng.
Before Zhang Bao entered the city, he saw smoke and dust covering the sky in the direction of Tugu City, and a large group of cavalry arrived. Zhang Bao smiled slightly when he saw this, he thought it was Dian Wei who came with cavalry, but he didn't expect it to be Hua Xiong.
After Hua Xiong saw Zhang Bao, he hurriedly dismounted and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, my subordinates are one step late." β
Zhang Bao smiled when he heard this: "General Hua came just in time, I don't know why General Hua came here?" β
Hua Xiong then told Zhang Bao that after Zhang Fei got the news of Zhang Bao's defeat, he was worried about Zhang Bao's safety, so he sent his subordinates to support Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao laughed when he heard this: "It seems that the war on my father's side is going well!" Could it be that Gao Ran is a guy who doesn't live up to his name? β
Hua Xiong said with a straight face when he heard this: "Lord, Gao Ran is indeed very powerful!" He fought with the master of the house for a hundred rounds without a victory. It took more than ten moves with General Guan to show his defeat, and his subordinates were not as good. β
Zhang Bao looked at Hua Xiong's ashamed expression and smiled: "I know General Hua's ability well, and General Hua doesn't need to be inferior." The world's first-class generals definitely have your name. I didn't expect that Gao Yan's force to be so strong. Looks like we'll have to find a way to keep him behind. β
Hua Xiong blinked when he heard this, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao continued: "What is the war over there? The war here is basically over, does my dad need our support? β
Hearing this, Hua Xiong hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the head of the family is mostly veterans of Donglai County, plus there are the head of the family and General Guan, so Gao Ran didn't please much, and now there has been a stalemate over there, presumably waiting for news from here." β
"Oh? Wait for our news, it's a good thing! Then I'll sum it up and give them great news. General Hua worked hard all the way, and went into the city with his brothers to rest and rest, and then he had a full meal. I asked the chef to make it for everyone. Zhang Bao said loudly.
"Good! Good! Good! ......" all the soldiers shouted excitedly when they heard this.
At lunch, Zhang Bao took out the meat and fresh vegetables that had been accumulated for many days, so that the brothers could be full of wine and food. Zhang Bao directly ordered the soldiers to have a good rest, and after dinner, they were ready to recapture Jinan County with him, and everyone went to hang out happily.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Dian Wei came to Dongpingling with 2,000 infantry troops. At dinner, Zhang Bao once again entertained 6,000 soldiers. Once again, the brothers were full of wine and food.
After Zhang Bao and the other soldiers finished eating, they called Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, and Hou Da and said, "General Hua, you are bringing cavalry. I order you to cooperate with the special combat team tonight and cross the Yellow River together to take the county seat. There should be more than 10,000 prisoners of our army in the county seat. Zhang He shouldn't have had time to transfer them yet. You must rescue them safely. You don't have to worry about the siege, you just need to cooperate with Hou Da. β
"The last general commands!" Huaxiong hugged his fist.
Zhang Bao said to the third brother Hou Da again: "Hou Da, after you cooperated with General Hua to take the county seat, Hou Er and Hou San each took two teams of special combat personnel to infiltrate Jizhou in makeup, and tried every means to bring Zhang He and Gao Ran's immediate relatives here. Hou Da returned here with the rest of his brothers, and I have another task. β
"Yes! Please rest assured that your subordinates will ensure that the task is completed. The three brothers said in unison.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao nodded and said: "This time you are performing the task independently, remember to restrain your own breath, don't let the soldiers in Jizhou see at a glance that you are from a military background, then you will be in danger." β
"Thank you for the point!" Hou Er and Hou San hugged their fists together.
Zhang Bao looked at Dian Wei again and said, "Uncle Dian, the county seats of Taixian and Yingxian are relatively easy to attack. Each county town is estimated to have 500 guards. You and those 2,000 infantry troops must take these two county towns tonight. β
Dian Wei said with a straight face when he heard this: "Don't worry! I'll take a few dozen people like your special forces team and quietly climb up to the top of the city. β
Zhang Bao laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha...... Uncle Dian, you will apply what you have learned!" Yes, that's it! Do the most with the least cost. I wish you all the best. After dawn, I will bring food to comfort everyone one by one. Let the brothers be patient. β
"Good! You just wait for our good news! Walk! Dian Wei smiled, and after saying that, he turned and left.
"Take care! Subordinates retire! Hua Xiong and the three brothers Hou also bowed together and saluted, then turned around and left.
The war went very smoothly, and all three counties including Zhuxian returned to Zhang Bao's hands overnight, and the county seat of Zhuxian still held 11,000 prisoners in Qingzhou. Half of the 2,000 Jizhou soldiers guarding were killed, and the remaining 1,000 surrendered. Hou Er and Hou San also took fifteen people each, and Qiao Zhuang sneaked into Jizhou as soon as possible.
