Chapter Eighty-Six: Defeat Wang Kuang

Before the reinforcements arrived, Han Hao couldn't support it, not to mention that even if the messenger asking for help passed through the layers of blockade and successfully reached the friendly army, the friendly army would not necessarily come to support. After all, Han Fu's soldiers and horses will definitely only listen to Han Fu. At this time, Han Fu couldn't wait to see Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's jokes, how could he send troops to support.

Since Han Hao was attacked by the army led by Dong Shouye, the Xiliang Army did not have much time to react, Han Hao could be said to be caught off guard and completely blinded, and he didn't have time to use the five hundred elite rhubarb crossbowmen left to him by his master Wang Kuang.

And Dong Shouye had already ordered his troops to first defeat Wang Kuang's strong crossbow troops before the battle began.

In the midst of the chaos, it is difficult to pinpoint the location of a unit unless there is a leading party who is familiar with the internal situation in the barracks.

Fortunately, there are a lot of such people, and when Zhang Liao touched the camp gate, he arrested a few prisoners in advance, and the situation was urgent, and the way of forcing the prisoners was more radical.

The method used by Zhang Liao was very simple, first kill one, and then start asking questions, and the remaining few captives saw that their companions had died under the enemy's butcher's knife, and the red blood splashed all over their bodies, and they were all frightened to death, and honestly confessed everything.

Under the guidance of these leading parties, Dong Shouye asked Dian Wei to quickly rush to the camp of the top 500 crossbowmen with a school of people, and then directly deal with these people first.

Fortunately, the crossbow is stored in a centralized manner, not carried around like some weapons.

If the crossbow is carried with you, it is conceivable that it is a dark night, the soldiers in the camp are sleeping, and then another soldier turns over, but accidentally touches the strong crossbow next to him, and the strong crossbow is just in the state of winding, naturally the crossbow arrow is shot out, and immediately shot a comrade not far away, the soldier was in severe pain, howling and crying, shouting, the others did not know the situation, panicked, and suddenly the camp was like a rebellion, and the camp was bombed. The army collapsed without a fight.

After Dian Wei successfully eliminated the five hundred strong crossbowmen, a big trump card in Han Hao's hands was gone, and he could no longer organize an effective counterattack, so he could only lead the crowd to escape.

Dong Shouye saw that the enemy's main general had fled, so he asked Zhang Liao to pursue with his headquarters. He commanded the army to continue to strangle the enemy. Now that Han Hao's subordinates saw that their main general had fled, they had no intention of fighting, and many people began to take the initiative to put down their weapons and surrender. When Dong Shouye ordered the shouting "Those who surrender will not be killed", people kneeling on the ground and surrendering were everywhere, people next to each other, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, kneeling on the ground.

However, what makes Dong Shouye more different is that although the five hundred strong crossbowmen did not get the strong crossbow, their fighting will is quite extraordinary. These strong crossbowmen recruited by Wang Kuang from his hometown Taishan County were all his confidants, and they were extremely loyal to him, and they were Wang Kuang's greatest reliance. And now, even in such a bad situation, no one chooses to surrender, and they are still fighting to the death.

However, these people are also a bit stupid, unarmed and tough, and as a result, they were all killed on the spot because of their great uncooperation.

Dong Shouye felt a little pity and helplessness.

Dong Shouye led a large army to cross the Yellow River from a place between Pingxian and Xiaopingjin, and attacked Heyangjin at night under Wang Kuang's troops and horses. Han Hao, the general under Wang Kuang, was caught off guard, and was defeated by Dong Shouye and fled. In this battle, the 20,000 horses under the command of Wang Kuang were all wiped out, more than 5,000 people were killed on the spot, more than 10,000 people surrendered, and the remaining 4,000 or 5,000 people were scattered everywhere and disappeared, and finally less than 200 people escaped with Han Hao.

Originally, there were nearly 2,000 people who escaped with Han Hao, although Zhang Liao pursued with his men and horses, but because it was dark and he was not familiar with the terrain, the effect of the pursuit was very bad. Han Hao had a chance to escape with the remaining nearly 2,000 people, but who thought that he trusted his allies too much, but was blocked by Xu Huang, who was guarding the main road to prevent Han Fu's army from coming to support.

Xu Huang saw that the other party was a panicked deserter, and it was not under the banner of his own side, so he attacked without hesitation.

Han Hao was even more frightened at this moment, there was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, he was completely confused, forgetting the original intention of wanting to go to the friendly army for help, and scurrying around like a frowning fly with a little men and horses. Unexpectedly, Han Hao's unintentional move made him successfully escape with his life.

Xu Huang was also relatively depressed, the enemy saw that he had already fallen into his trap, and he could take them all and capture the enemy alive. Unexpectedly, the enemy's commander suddenly chose to walk into some small paths and choose to stay away from his allies. His attention was always on guarding against his allies, so he paid less attention to some of the out-of-the-way paths in other directions, and was accidentally hit by the enemy and fled.

It was dark, the road was unfamiliar, and the enemy was taking some remote paths, Xu Huang did not dare to send people to pursue rashly, seeing that the strategic purpose of this battle had been achieved, he took his men and horses to meet Dong Shouye in time.

When Dong Shouye led Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others to count the captures in this battle, he was surprised to find that because Dian Wei had protected the place where the five hundred rhubarb crossbows were stored in time, there was basically no loss in this batch of rhubarb crossbows. Dong Shouye looked at these murderous rhubarb crossbows and was overjoyed, these are all first-class killers!

Regarding the handling of the prisoners, Dong Shouye made another difficulty, at this time Dong Shouye did not want to return to Luoyang with these prisoners, and now the grain and grass in Dong Shouye's hands are not enough to feed these idlers.

So he contacted the Niu Auxiliary Department near Keiguan to see if the other party could help treat these prisoners.

Soon got a reply from Niu Suke. Niu Fu said in his heart that he could take in this group of prisoners, Niu Fu can be said to have done a lot of work in Hedong recently, and under the construction of Dong Shouye, he actively tuntian and carried out civil and military tun. After the eradication of the Xu family, there was a rectification of the salt pond, the expansion of the production and sales of the salt pond, the current Hedong County under the leadership of Niu Fu is developing very fast, faintly becoming the logistics supply base of the entire Xiliang Army.

Now Hedong County is very short of manpower, before Dong Shouye fought Sun Jian, Dong Shouye also wanted to hand over some of the captives to Niu Fu, but at that time Niu Fu was surrounded by enemies, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he was facing huge pressure, and now Dong Shouye successfully defeated Wang Kuang, which greatly reduced the pressure on Niu Fu, and Niu Fu was able to free up his hands to develop production, and then the labor force was a little nervous, so Dong Shouye asked him to help digest the prisoners, Niu Fu immediately agreed.
