Chapter 353: Annihilation
Zhang Yan's voice was very low, these words can be said to be his heart, he joined the Yellow Turban Army back then in order to be able to get ahead, his identity was a rebel back then, and now, he is still a bandit, the only difference is that he is a bandit with relatively large strength,
"I don't want to." The generals under Zhang Yan roared angrily, as a man, who wants to be a bandit for generations,
"Since this is the case, then we have to fight well and win against Yuan Xi in Youzhou, do you have confidence?"
"Yes." The soldiers shouted one after another, for the 30,000 people under Yuan Xi, the unruly soldiers under Zhang Yan really didn't take it seriously.
Zhang Yan nodded, the morale of the soldiers is high, if he is defeated in this battle, then he will really die to thank the world, after all, the morale of the soldiers of the self-army is high, and they are ready to attack the enemy army, and the strength is the same as that of Yuan Xi's army in Youzhou, so if he is defeated, then he will still be a bandit for the rest of his life.
"Report!" With a low shout, a scout quickly came to Zhang Yan's side, "General, the vanguard of the enemy army has entered the encirclement. ”
Zhang Yan nodded, and then led his generals to sneak over, Zhang Yan's chosen location was not as convenient as Zhang Fei, the place he chose to sneak attack was on the official road leading to Liyang City, one side of the official road was a dense jungle, and Zhang Yan's troops were hidden in the woods,
The terrain here is flat, and there are no other convenient conditions except for this dense forest, but Zhang Yan is also helpless, after all, in addition to this place, he really can't find a place where he can ambush his 30,000 army.
Although he doesn't have a good location, he has these two points when he is on his side and anyone who should be on his side. You will have the confidence to win.
Yuan Xi led the army to walk on the official road, and compared with Gao Gan, he obviously didn't believe in Yuan Shang very much, so he was obviously cautious when he led his troops, especially when he went out of Youzhou. Entering Yuan Shang's territory, Yuan Xi was obviously more cautious,
It's not that Yuan Xi is suspicious, it's really that this matter has to be guarded against, Yuan Tan can fight with Yuan Shang for Yuan Shao's status with Jizhou's territory, so what is the difficulty of Yuan Shang sneaking up on himself for his own territory, kill himself, who can stop Yuan Shang from occupying his own territory,
But although Yuan Xi is worried. But I really can't shirk this battle, although Yuan Shang is a wolf, but Cao Jun is a tiger, a tiger who wants people's lives, a tiger attacking, and Yuan Shang alone can't stop it.
Yuan Xi has no ambitions, and he is already very satisfied to be able to dominate the land of a state. With Yuan Shang, it was obviously very difficult to attack him, but Cao Jun was different. If they occupy Jizhou, it won't be long before they attack their own Youzhou, and when the time comes, they will not be able to resist Cao's troops.
Yuan Xi was in a nervous mood, especially when he walked to the edge of the woods. His heart couldn't help but pinch up, but he thought about it and then shook his head, Yuan Shang had gathered an army of 40,000 and was confronting Cao Jun, how could he draw his troops to deal with himself at this time, it seemed that he really had too much heart.
Follow the official road, it won't take long for him to arrive at Liyang and join Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi is still quite worried about whether he can defeat Cao Jun, after all, Cao Jun's ability is obvious to all, and Yuan Jun's 100,000 army will be Cao Jun's opponent,
Just when Yuan Xi was uneasy, a burst of rushing and killing sounded, and immediately, in the jungle on the side of the official road, a large number of soldiers wearing Yuan Jun's armor rushed out and launched an attack on Yuan Xi's army in Youzhou.
Yuan Xi was obviously a little stunned, but when the armies of the two sides really began to fight, Yuan Xi's consternation turned into anger, and the enemy troops who sneaked up on him were all wearing Yuan Jun's armor, and he didn't have to think about it to know who was sneaking up on him.
"Yuan Shang, I am inseparable from you." Yuan Xi roared angrily, and then pulled out the report on his waist, and the guards beside him hurriedly protected Yuan Xi.
The combat effectiveness of the enemy army wearing Yuan Jun's armor is very strong, and the strength is obviously almost the same as his own side, seeing this picture, Yuan Xi was stunned, it was difficult for him to think that Yuan Shang actually had such a strong combat effectiveness, which made Yuan Xi can't help but doubt.
Yuan Shang finally dispatched 40,000 troops to attack Liyang, and Liyang City hoarded 30,000 Cao troops, if Yuan Shang mobilized 30,000 to attack him, how would he deal with Liyang's Cao army?
I realized that Cao Jun was more powerful than Yuan Shang, how could Yuan Shang not know, he would definitely not attack indiscriminately, so since it was not Yuan Shang, why was the enemy wearing Yuan Jun's armor, but if you think about it, you can guess that the enemy's target is himself, since he wants to sneak attack himself, he naturally has to hide his eyeliner, so there is nothing in Yuan Jun's armor,
Since it is the enemy, Yuan Xi will naturally not let it go lightly, he commanded the army to attack the enemy army, but the effect is obviously a little ineffective, the enemy army is all strong men, and their combat effectiveness is obviously beyond Yuan Xi's imagination,
Gradually, Yuan Xi's Youzhou army was a little unable to support it, the enemy army became more and more courageous, Yuan Xi's soldiers fought and retreated, seeing this situation, Yuan Xi reluctantly gave the order to withdraw the troops, and if he continued to fight, he must have failed, his army was obviously not the opponent of the enemy, and if he stood down, he would definitely be captured and killed by the enemy.
As Yuan Xi ordered the withdrawal of the army, the soldiers of Youzhou flocked to withdraw the army, and Zhang Yan obviously would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and launched a pursuit of the enemy.
Zhang Yan led the army to pursue Yuan Xi for a long time, and then gave up the pursuit of Yuan Xi, Zhang Yan won a lot in this battle, all the way to the pursuit, Zhang Yan's army killed at least two thousand enemy troops,
Counting the enemy army that had just been sneak attacked and killed, Zhang Yan defeated at least tens of thousands of Yuan troops in this battle, Yuan Xi only had a total of 30,000 troops, and he lost tens of thousands of soldiers in one battle, Zhang Yan believed that Yuan Xi was no longer able to fight.
Even if it is said that Yuan Xi has the heart to fight again, it is still a question whether he dares to continue to send troops, even if he sends troops, he is not afraid that he will continue to sneak attack him.
Anyway, Yuan Xi's 30,000 army has been disabled by himself, even if he still has 20,000 troops, but what can he do, Yuan Xi has no heart to continue fighting, and the appearance of his army fleeing makes Zhang Yan want to laugh when he thinks about it,
Eliminated Yuan Xi's reinforcements, Zhang Yan aimed at Yuan Shang's 40,000 troops, Cao's army destroyed Yuan's two Yuan armies in a battle, led by Zhang Fei in a battle, he skillfully used the terrain to kill Gao Gan in a battle, and Gao Gan's 30,000 army also disappeared,
On the other hand, Zhang Yan attacked Yuan Xi's army and won a lot, although Zhang Fei's road seemed to be more successful, but it also repelled Yuan Xi, so that Yuan Xi could not form an army and did not dare to fight with it again.
Du Chen received the battle report of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yan almost at the same time, which made him laugh excitedly, both Zhang Fei and Zhang Yan were proud of the results, especially Zhang Fei, he not only wiped out the 30,000 troops of Gao Gan, captured tens of thousands of Gao Gan's army, and even killed Gao Gan,
30,000 merge state army is a trivial matter, but it is indeed a great achievement to kill that high cadre, the reason why the high cadre became a merge state pastor is not because of nepotism, he is also a person with some ability, and winning the state is also regarded as relying on his own ability,
In any case, Gao Gan is a capable person, if he is not capable, it is impossible for him to be in the position of the governor of the state for so long, and now that Gao Gan is suddenly dead, then the entire state will definitely fall into war, which can greatly consume the combat power of the state.
It is naturally much easier to conquer a chaotic annex than to conquer a unified annexed state, so Zhang Fei's move made a great contribution to Cao Jun's conquest of the annexed state, but it is somewhat a pity that Zhang Yan did not achieve such a huge result, and Yuan Xi finally ran away.
But it's not bad, the 30,000 troops under Zhang Yan are his own after all, and they have always taken the wild road, so what is the combat effectiveness, Du Chen can only listen to Zhang Yan, however, with Zhang Yan's own training of the wild road to achieve such a result, it is already quite good, the first battle defeated Yuan Xi's army, and the casualties of the self-army are obviously smaller than the enemy army, which is not easy.
