Chapter 272: Yuan Liu's first battle under the city

readx;

Hangu Guandong from the Kunshan Mountain, west to Tongjin, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, because in the valley, deep danger such as Han, commonly known as Hangu, known as natural risk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoPass is located in a valley, the terrain is dangerous, and only one carriage can be allowed to pass in the narrow place. And because of the undulating hills and hills of this section of the Yellow River Basin, there are Zhongtiao Mountain, Kunshan Mountain, etc., and the bottom of the Hanguan Valley has become the only east-west flat passage in the nearby area.

Under the Hangu Pass, Zhang Baiqi and the Yellow Turban generals were surveying the terrain. To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Yan's defection to Yuan Shao, Zhang Baiqi would never have come to attack Hangu Pass. Of course, even now at the Hangu Pass, Zhang Baiqi is not ready to attack!

"Dashuai, if you want to fight, you will fight, this Hanguguan looks at it, and it won't change, why bother looking at it again?" Seeing Zhang Bai riding there and looking left and right, the grumpy Huang Long was really incomprehensible.

"You! It's so reckless! Zhang Baiqi shook his head, as a party commander, he didn't know the art of war, he didn't know strategy, no wonder the Yellow Turban Dao would decline. I think that at the beginning, Bocai was so powerful, and the emperors who fought were defeated and retreated. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know the art of war and camped in a lush place, even if Liu Zhang wanted to defeat him, it would be very difficult. It is true that the terrain does not change, but if you observe carefully, you can take advantage of the terrain. However, Zhang Baiqi was not ready to explain to Huang Long, and even if he did, Huang Long would not understand.

Seeing that Zhang Baiqi was silent, Huang Long knew that he had asked another stupid question. After a while, Zhang Baiqi suddenly asked, "Who is the guard of Hangu Pass?" ”

A small colonel hurriedly replied: "Back to the big handsome, it's Ma Teng!" ”

"Let's go meet Ma Teng!" Zhang Bai rode on his horse and whipped it, and then came to Hangu Pass.

Hangu closed, Ma Teng took Ma Tie and Ma Xiu to look at the mighty Yellow Turban Army, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his mouth, he really didn't expect that not long after he took refuge in Liu Zhang, he would encounter such a big scene. Ma Teng knew that Liu Zhang was more than lucky this time, but he had already gotten on Liu Zhang's thief ship, and his son and daughter were hostages, so he really couldn't get off the boat.

"Father, the Yellow Turban Thieves have at least 50,000 horses. Now, they have cut off the connection between Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, and the two generals Yan Xing and Guan Hai only have one month's grain and grass. On the lord's side, there will definitely be no way to return to help within a month, what should we do? Ma Tie looked at the dense Yellow Turban Army under the city, and his scalp was a little numb.

Of course, Zhang Bai's men and horses are not very many, only about 100,000, but the men and horses of Hangu Pass never exceed 30,000, and they are all defending troops, even recruits, and they have never experienced a major war at all.

Ma Teng said in a deep voice: "We can just guard the Hangu Pass, and others will consider other things..."

"Father, look!" Ma Xiu pointed not far away, and saw a number of horses galloping over, led by a white horse, very conspicuous.

"General Ma Teng, please come out and answer!" Zhang Bai rode down the city immediately, and Huang Long immediately stepped forward to shout.

"I'm Ma Teng!" Ma Teng stood at the head of the city in golden armor, dignified and majestic.

"In Xia Zhang Sheng, I have seen General Ma!" Zhang Baiqi said with a smile: "Maybe the general hasn't heard of my name, but you must have heard of the name Zhang Baiqi!" ”

"My Ma family has noble blood, and the people I know are either court officials or imperial nobles, how have I ever heard of Zhang Baiqi this person!" Before Ma Teng could speak, Ma Tie had already made a sarcastic remark. However, Ma Teng did not stop it, and the children of the family naturally have his pride.

"You... Bold..."Seeing Ma Tie insulting Zhang Baiqi, Huang Long and Zuo Colonel were very angry.

"Why be angry!" Zhang Baiqi patted Huang Long and Colonel Zuo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What he said is not wrong, I was originally a farmer, so naturally I will not be in the ears of General Ma." However, now that our troops are besieging Hangu Pass, General Ma doesn't have any ideas? ”

"Thoughts?" Ma Teng smiled: "Do you want you to die?" Someone will clean you up! ”

"General Ma, this is a bit false!" Zhang Baiqi said with a smile: "Actually, I respect the champion Hou very much, but it's a pity that he is fighting with Yuan Shao and has no time to take care of here." Presumably, when the champion Hou went to merge the state, he took all the troops of Chang'an away! Is there 20,000 people in this Hangu Pass, or 30,000? Can you stop my attack? ”

"If you can't stop it, you won't know until you attack it!" Ma Teng sneered: "What? Zhang Dashuai came to blow the morale of our army? That's going to disappoint you! Champion Hou once said that his army does not rely on morale to fight! Only iron discipline is the soul of the army! ”

"Actually, I'm here to see if I can say that the general is demoted, it seems impossible!" Zhang Baiqi smiled indifferently and said, "Since this is the case, let's prepare to meet each other!" Walk! ”

After Zhang Baiqi finished speaking, he took Huang Long and Zuo Xiao and galloped away. Ma Teng looked at Zhang Bai's departing figure, and couldn't help sighing: "Xiu'er, Tie'er, guard the pass, and you must not fight." Immediately order someone to pass the book to Jinyang and report to the lord! ”

"Yes, Father!" Seeing Ma Teng's cold face, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie didn't dare to say much, but they were just closing the gate and looking at the Yellow Turban Army under the city.

Fifty miles below the city of Jinyang, Yuan Shao's army was stationed here. Yuan Shao stayed in Yangquan for nearly two months, and he wanted to wait for Gao Ran to break through Yangqu before entering the army. When the time comes, it will be more certain to unite foreign clans to attack Jinyang. But after Zhang He and Zhang Liao arrived, Quyang became impregnable, and Yuan Shao really couldn't wait. After all, Yuan's army had 700,000, and the amount of grain and grass consumed was astronomical.

"Please come out and answer!" Yuan Shaoqin led the army to Jinyang City, although there were only tens of thousands of horses, but the dense human heads really made people tremble.

The gate of Jinyang City was opened, and Liu Zhang led three thousand tiger guards out of the city. Seeing Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Originally, I haven't seen you for a long time." You actually dared to attack Bingzhou, it seems that the lesson you were given back then was not enough! ”

"You..." was said by Liu Zhang, Yuan Shaoshang was a little unbearable. With a long sigh of relief and suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Shao sneered: "Liu Zhang, you should be proud!" I've contacted the princes to crusade against you, and see how long you can laugh! ”

"Laugh until you burp, of course!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "Liu Biao will definitely not go against me, even if Cao Ying breaks through the Tiger Prison Pass, he can't break the Hangu Pass and Tong Pass, and Sun Jian is probably still fighting Jingzhou's idea." As for the fact that you want to use a foreigner, it's quite difficult! There was no population in Bingzhou, and now I have a strong wall, unless the foreign tribe can break through Yangqu and enter Taiyuan County! You've been in contact for so long, and you're still one-on-one with me! ”

"I have an army of millions!" Yuan Shao was a little angry, he really didn't expect that Liu Zhang had already made the arrangements. As the saying goes: you can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. As a prince, Liu Zhang has to face a strong enemy, how can he be defenseless?

"Is there really a million?" Liu Zhang smiled: "What if you have an army of millions? With your stupid pig-like brains and foolish commands, an army of millions is just here to die! ”

"You..." Yuan Shao wanted to hit Liu Zhangjun's morale, but he didn't expect to be insulted by Liu Zhang, he was furious and said: "Who will take Liu Zhang with me?" ”

"I'm coming!" A general in Yuan Shao's army came out with a knife, and it turned out to be Peng An, a fierce general.

"Look for death!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Meng Qi, you have just come to my command, and you don't have a lot of credit, so let you show your majesty!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Chao raised the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand and rushed towards Peng An. That Peng An is known as a fierce general under Yuan Shao, but he is far from Ma Chao. In addition, Ma Chao wanted to behave in front of Liu Zhang, so he used a killer move when he came up. With just one move, Peng An was stabbed off the horse. Ma Chao crossed the golden gun in his hand, and his eyes shot directly at Yuan Shao, and the provocation was undoubtedly revealed!

"Xiliang Ma Chao!" Yuan Shao squeezed out the name that tickled the root of his teeth from between his teeth. Some time ago, when Ma Chao and Zhang Fei first arrived in Yangquan, they made him depressed.

"Ma Chao is here, Yuan Benchu, what about Yan Liang and Wen Chou under your command? It's not like it's a pawn again! Ma Chao said sarcastically: "A group of flies and dogs can only engage in some intrigues." ”

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are here!" The lord humiliated the ministers to death, Yuan Shao was insulted by Ma Chao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou couldn't bear it anymore!

"Two to one? Zilong! "After knowing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou attacked Liu Xian and Zhao Yun, Liu Zhang always wanted to take revenge. Now that the two of them have made a move, Liu Zhang immediately sent the party Zhao Yun.

"Seven Detectives of the Coiled Snake..."Zhao Yun was almost killed, and his resentment was not small, so he came up and used a killing move.

"Not good!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou were shocked, and the two ignored Ma Chao's attack and joined forces to block Zhao Yun.

"Ahh Of course, Ma Chao originally wanted to prick him in the throat.

"Charge the whole army!" Seeing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were defeated in one move, Yuan Shao's face was a little pale. However, for the generals of his cronies, he can't help but save them.

"Humph!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly, and personally led the tiger guard to rush forward. Although he only brought three thousand tiger guards, the four generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong around him, plus Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, even if it was Yuan Shao's million-strong army, he dared to break through. Don't say that Yuan Shao just came to hit the morale of Liu Zhang's army, and he didn't bring many men.

Among the ten thousand troops, Liu Zhang took six generals and three thousand tiger guards, like a tiger entering a flock, and Yuan Shao had no enemies. Suddenly, the gate of Jinyang City opened again, and Liu Xian rushed out with the Xiliang Iron Horse and the Overlord Horse. Yuan Jun, who was not dominant in the first place, was instantly chiseled. Liu Zhang waved the overlord gun in his hand and shouted: "Capture Yuan Shao alive, reward a thousand gold, and seal ten thousand households!" ”

Seeing that Liu Zhang's army could not be stopped, Yuan Shao immediately made a decision and ordered a retreat. It's a pity that defeat is failure. As the saying goes: defeat is like a mountain. The retreat of Yuan Shao's army turned into a major rout, and the mountains were full of Yuan's army rout. How could Liu Zhang let Yuan Shao go so easily? led the army to chase all the way until Yuan Shao fled back to the camp in panic. Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang clashed in the first round, and Yuan Shao was defeated!
