Chapter 56 Yuan Shao
At this time, in the eastern part of Luoyang, the princes of Kwantung were still stationed in Suozao County, 300 miles away, drinking wine and singing every day, and even eating and drinking with each other.
In the south of Luoyang, Kong Ling and Yuan Shu were still waiting.
In the northern part of Luoyang, Zhang Liao returned to Hanoi County on the night of the 18th, warned Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang to guard against Dong Zhuo's attack, and asked Yuan Shao to order the troops of the Kwantung princes to enter Luoyang.
Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang didn't know that Zhang Liao was really a "kind" reminder that under Ji Ping's plan, Zhang Liao was almost certain that Dong Zhuo would attack Hanoi County, but Yuan Shao didn't listen, but he couldn't help it.
Zhang Liao, in accordance with Ji Ping's order, was on the front line of Keiguan in the northwest of Hanoi County, and Duan Jin was waiting for him.
At the same time, Zhang Liao, under Ji Ping's instructions, sent people to warn the clans and people of Hanoi County to enter the fort to prevent Dong Zhuo from attacking.
At noon, Dong Yue, the Zhonglang general stationed at Mengjin Pass, suddenly led 2,000 elite soldiers and marched into Hanoi County with great fanfare.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo led Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Li Su to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to cross the river from Xiaopingjin Pass west of Mengjin Pass, intending to go around to the rear of Hanoi County and flank Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang.
After arriving in Hanoi County, Dong Zhuo ordered troops to slaughter Hanoi County, but was ambushed by Zhang Liao and Duan Jin, and then Zhang Liao and Duan Jin relied on the terrain to set up a battle.
Under the delay of their confrontation, the people of Hanoi County, who originally did not take the warning seriously, hurriedly hid in the fort, and those who had nowhere to hide, under the guidance of Sun Meng, a soldier stationed in Jiguan, and Zhang Yang, who was stationed at Tianjing Pass, temporarily avoided Dongyuan County and Shangdang County.
On the northwest line of Hanoi, Dong Zhuo fought with Zhang Liao and Duan Jin for nearly two hours, the battle situation was stalemate, and the attack could not be carried out for a long time, Dong Zhuo divided the troops according to Li Ru's strategy, leaving Li Su and Jia Xu with 2,000 men and horses to continue to confront Zhang Liao Duan Jin, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses He personally led and rushed eastward, and Dong Yue, who sent troops from Mengjin, attacked Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang.
This battle lasted for a day, and on the night of the nineteenth, it was again a night battle under the faint moonlight.
Dong Zhuo seemed to be crazy, regardless of casualties and fierce attack Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's 20,000 soldiers were mostly new pawns, under the tragic fighting, the loss of more than 10,000, if it were not for the general Wen Chou, unstoppable, Yuan Shao was wearing armor again, personally pressed the formation, and did not retreat, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers had already collapsed.
Killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 losses, under the desperate fight between the two, Dong Zhuo's Huangzhong Yicong also suffered heavy losses.
Dong Yue lost more than half of the 2,000 men and horses attacked from Mengjin Pass, and Dong Zhuo attacked 5,000 men and horses from Xiaopingjin Pass, and after fighting to the death with Yuan Shao, and under the step-by-step attack of Zhang Liao and Duan Jin, the remaining less than 2,000.
On February 20, when the battle was deadlocked, Dongyuan Lu Zhibing went out of Jiguan, and Shangdang Zhang Yangbing went out of Tianjing Pass, went straight to Hanoi, joined the battlefield, and attacked Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuoqiang's Hu army was suddenly in chaos, seeing that there was no hope of catching Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo had to retreat with hatred, and originally wanted to retreat to Mengjin Pass with Dong Yue, but was chased and beaten by Zhang Liao and Duan Jin, Dong Zhuo had to retreat all the way to the west, and finally crossed the river from the west of Hanoi County and retreated to Xiaopingjin.
All of them were carried out under Ji Ping's planning, Lu Zhi returned to Dongyuan to guard against the Northwest Baibo Army and Niu Fu, and Zhang Yang also returned to Tianjing Pass to garrison.
Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang of Hanoi County gathered the remnants of the army, the dead and wounded plus the escape, the remaining less than 5,000, they couldn't help crying without tears, they didn't expect Dong Zhuo to suddenly enter the army at this time, Yuan Shao's subordinates Xu Yu and Feng Ji The two strategists have always been resourceful, but they didn't expect that under Ji Ping's secret plan, Dong Zhuo suddenly came to this trick, almost annihilating their entire army.
At dawn on February 20, a group of men and horses rushed south from the ice of the Yellow River to Xiaopingjin, and it was Dong Zhuo's more than 1,000 remnants of the army that had retreated from Hanoi, led by Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Jia Xu and others.
Torches were faintly visible not far behind, and there was a shout of killing, which was a fierce battle between the broken soldiers and the pursuers of Yanmen Taishou Zhang Liao.
It was impossible to run horses on the ice, so Dong Zhuobing was on foot, and hundreds of war horses were wrapped in cloth on their hooves, slowly moving forward.
The wind was very strong on the river, and although the Qianghu soldiers were all from the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, they were also shivering, tired, hungry and cold, and they slipped in three steps, and the wounded soldiers kept falling, and they could no longer get up on the ice on the river.
Dong Zhuo has an old black face, he has been in the military for a long time, and he wears a thick fur coat, so he is naturally not afraid of the cold.
Li Ru was frozen and clear, his teeth chattered, and he was supported by two soldiers, but he still frowned and pondered all the way, while Jia Xu looked silent.
The rout was panicked all the way, and when it was about a mile away from Xiaopingjin Pass, Jia Xu suddenly said: "Xiangguo, please send someone to investigate the Xiaopingjin guards first." ”
Dong Zhuo, who had a black face, was stunned for a moment, turned his head to stare at Jia Xu, and snorted coldly: "What do you mean?" ”
Dong Zhuo naturally knew in his heart that it was not Jia Xu's fault that he had lost Xiao Pingjin before, but during this period of time, he was proud of the spring breeze and used to the world, so he suddenly suffered such a big defeat, and nominally lost in the hands of his opponent Yuan Shao, I am afraid that the world will laugh at it in the future, and it is inevitable that he will be angry.
Jia Xu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression: "The last general is afraid that Xiaopingjin will change, so he will send someone to investigate to make sure that everything is perfect." ”
At this time, Li Ru, who was in a state of weakness on the side, suddenly exclaimed and said: "Lord, Confucianism pondered the previous battle of Hanoi, Yuan Shao's main force seemed to be completely defenseless, only Yanmen was too guarded by Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses to defend it, and now he forced me to retreat to this small Pingjin, I am afraid that Xiao Pingjin will change......
Li Ru's face was heavy, this feeling of being led by the nose was really bad, but he couldn't find the black hand behind the scenes, could it be Zhang Liao? It doesn't seem to be, Zhang Liao's background is not high, and his reputation is not big, it is absolutely difficult to make Duan Jin surrender, and it is difficult to make Huailing such a big deal.
Hearing what Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo's face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered a team to lead people to Xiaopingjin to investigate.
Li Ru said again: "Lord, now that there is Zhang Liao's chasing army behind him, he can lead the army to pretend to go east to Mengjin Pass, if there is a change in Xiaopingjin, he will definitely take the initiative to attack." ”
On the closure of Xiaopingjin, a big banner with the word "Dong" fluttered high, and there were more than a dozen soldiers dressed in Qianghu standing on the gate, one of whom had an elegant and gentle face, but who was not Ji Ping.
Inside the wall, there were nearly 100 archers with arrows and bows, and they lay in ambush.
Watching Dong Zhuo's rout coming towards Xiaopingjin from a distance, Ji Ping's eyes flashed with a cold light.
After occupying Xiaopingjin the night before, Xun Di led another thousand men and horses to come, Ji Ping did not stay long, but ordered Zhang Liao and Duan Jin to rush back to Hanoi County to prepare for war, and he, Xun Di and Ranger retreated to the mountains and forests south of Xiaopingjin.
At noon yesterday, Dong Zhuo sent troops to Hanoi for more than an hour, and only more than 300 soldiers remained in Xiaopingjin Pass to defend, and Ji Ping took Xun Di and Shi A and a group of rangers, totaling more than 1,400 people, to attack and occupy Xiaopingjin Pass with lightning speed.
Xiaopingjin Pass is focused on defending Hanoi in the north, and there is basically no defense against Luoyang in the south, which is also the reason why Ji Ping decisively gave up Xiaopingjin before, and now it is very easy to seize it from Guannai.
After capturing Xiaopingjin Pass, Ji Ping and some soldiers and rangers changed into the costumes of Qianghu soldiers, disguised as Dong Zhuo's soldiers guarding the pass, and patrolled the pass.
Geng Zhong also arrived, leading 300 ghosts to ambush in the pass, and Xun Di led 400 shooters to ambush not far from the north side of the pass.
As soon as he was ready, he waited for Zhang Liao and Duan Jin to drive Dong Zhuo into the city.
Unexpectedly, when Dong Zhuo was about to approach Xiaopingjin, a team of people took the lead and rushed towards the pass.
Ji Ping frowned, Dong Zhuo was defeated like this, and he was still so cautious? The names Jia Xu and Li Ru flashed in his mind.
Nima, having this kind of top strategist in the enemy army is troublesome, and there are too many variables.
The team led to the pass and shouted: "Xiangguo is back to the division, and the guards have not come out to greet him?" ”
Ji Ping watched Dong Zhuo's army turn around nearly half a mile away, and there was a tendency to rush towards Mengjin Pass, he scolded secretly, went down the pass first, and ordered Shi A and Geng Zhong beside him: "Prepare to attack!" ”
No matter what Dong Zhuo turned his head to the east because of something or a deception, he had to attack decisively, now that Luoyang has changed greatly, he has no more time to hesitate, otherwise Dong Zhuo will really go east, and if he runs away from this scourge, it will be an endless disaster.
Boom, in the early morning light, Xiao Pingjin closed the door and opened, and Ji Ping led the team to rush out.
