Chapter 64: The Situation is Dangerous

In the torrent of rolling cavalry, a group suddenly split up and went straight towards Yan Liang's iron cavalry. Yan Liang, who originally wanted to wait for the best opportunity, had to lead the iron cavalry to meet him, and in the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two sides collided together and fought.

On the other side, the rolling torrent with 5,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard slammed into the enemy's defensive line, and a huge sound suddenly sounded, as if the waves were crashing on the shore!

The power of the Iron Rider is amazing! Like a landslide, like a tsunami, in just a moment, Yuan Shaojun's heavy tiger infantry was about to be unable to resist! One by one, the hoplites were knocked out by the powerful impact, and the sergeants were terrified! But after all, the Tiger Ben infantry is the elite of Yuan Shaojun, although they are frightened, they still fight desperately, one after another!

Yuan Shao and his generals and strategists couldn't help but change color, and they couldn't help but worry about their own infantry troops.

Seeing that the iron cavalry was about to break through the defense line of the tiger infantry, at the critical moment, Yan Liang's personal commander 30,000 iron cavalry got rid of the entanglement of the opponent's assault cavalry, and desperately killed Zhang Lang's flank!

Zhang Lang saw that the front line could not be broken through, and there were enemy iron cavalry on the flank, so he cursed in his heart, so he could only lead the iron cavalry to meet Yan Liang's cavalry. There was a scuffle between the two sides. Seeing that it was difficult to take advantage, Zhang Lang decisively led his army to get rid of Yuan Shao's army and retreat into the city.

The high platform outside the city was quickly completed under the work of tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's soldiers day and night. Eighteen tall earthen platforms stand outside Hangu Pass, more than one-third higher than the wall of Hangu Pass, overlooking the entire Hangu Pass.

Yuan Shaojun transported the strong bow and crossbow to the earth platform, condescendingly, and kept shooting arrows.

The defenders guarded the walls with shields on their heads, and from time to time soldiers were shot to the ground by the loss. The defenders were completely passive and demoralized.

Zhang Lang thought that the catapult could break this trick, but who would build the catapult? He hurriedly called the craftsmen in the army and asked, "Which of you will build a catapult?" ”

The craftsmen looked at each other, and an old craftsman hugged his fists and said: "The villain is ignorant, he has never heard of this 'catapult'!" ”

Zhang Lang didn't feel anything, after all, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shaojun used high platform tactics to deal with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao couldn't deal with it at first, and later it was Liu Ye who presented the drawings of the catapult, and Cao Jun turned the corner. What Zhang Lang is most worried about now is that no one will build this kind of equipment. Although Zhang Lang roughly understands the principle of the catapult, he is not clear how to build it!

Zhang Lang explained his understanding of the catapult to the craftsmen for a long time, and the craftsmen seemed to understand it and said that they could only try it. Zhang Lang could only let them try it, "You guys can try it!" If there is a result, report it to me immediately! The crowd clenched their fists and exited the hall.

Thinking of the current situation, Zhang Lang felt a little heavy, got up and walked to the map, looking at the current situation, he only felt extremely heavy pressure.

Ma Teng hurriedly came in from outside, clenched his fists and said, "General." ”

Zhang Lang reincarnated, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I just received a report from Wen Yuan!" He then presented a letter to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang hurriedly took the letter, opened it, and read it quickly, his brows furrowed.

Ma Teng couldn't help but ask, "General, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Lang said in a deep voice: "Xianbei people really colluded with Yuan Shao! The Xianbei army and the army with open jaws and high views are attacking each other! Although Zhang Liao raided the base camp of the Xianbei Army by surprise and killed more than 30,000 enemies, he could not change the current situation! Our army is retreating one after another, and the five northern counties are being lost! ”

Ma Teng's expression was solemn, "General, you should immediately transfer the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Chang'an to the north to help!" ”

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "The size of 60,000 soldiers and horses is just a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the enemy army!" ”

At the same time, Yuan Shao outside the gate received an urgent report from Jizhou, which said: Gongsun Chan was defeated by Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Yan Rou, etc. ten days ago, if it wasn't for Zhao Yun, who hurried back to rescue him in time, Gongsun Chan was only afraid that he would have died in Huangquan, and now Gongsun Chan has retreated to Yijing, and the battle situation is very unfavorable to Gongsun Zhan!

Yuan Shao was overjoyed with the book.

Fu Zhijian said: "You can immediately send a messenger to reward Yan Rou and the others!" At the same time, the 100,000 troops placed on the northern border were transferred to Bingzhou and handed over to Zhang Jaw under the command of Zhang Jaw, in order to defeat Zhang Liao in one go! ”

Yuan Shao thought so and immediately ordered.

Eyes turned to Chang'an.

Jia Xu hurried to the hall. The messenger who was waiting here immediately reported: "My lord, General Ma Chao reports urgently!" As he spoke, he handed over a letter with both hands.

Jia Xu hurriedly took the letter, opened it, read it quickly, his face changed, and muttered: "It seems that they have made an appointment!" The Qiang people actually fought back at this time?! As a result, Ma Chao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be unable to move! How to do it? ”

The gaze turned to the five northern counties.

Zhang Jaw Gao Lan led 50,000 troops each, and marched forward to attack Dingxiang County, while at the same time, more than 100,000 Xianbei cavalry were silent along the northern edge to Yunzhong County.

The enemy was huge, and thousands of people chose to flee their homes and go to the Guanzhong area, where the flow of people on the official road leading to Guanzhong was endless, and everyone looked very frightened.

The Xianbei people bypassed the Great Wall defense line in the directional territory and plunged straight into the clouds.

Kebi could think that Zhang Liao would rush back to Dingxiang to defend in a hurry, so he didn't take too many precautions.

That night, when the Xianbei army arrived only thirty miles away from Cloud City, it was already dusk. Kobi can order the army to rest for the night, and tomorrow it will be in full swing into the clouds.

The sun was setting in the west, and the smoke was curling on the field, and the Xianbei knights who had been running for two days in a row felt very tired.

Suddenly, the earth trembled! All the Xianbei people were stunned, and when they looked to the south, they saw tens of thousands of cavalry surging across the mountain beams! Xianbei ** was shocked! Before they could react, tens of thousands of infantry troops rushed out of the valley in the north and fought bravely!

The Xianbei camp immediately exploded, the weapons of the weapons, the horses of the horses, the momentum of the horses who were gone, and the momentum of the horses was annoyed, and the scene was chaotic!

Zhang Liao personally commanded more than 10,000 horsemen to kill into the enemy camp, and the Xianbei people who were caught off guard were killed so that they turned on their backs. At this moment, the infantry from the north also entered the enemy camp!

Kobi can shout at the top of his voice, but the army is already in chaos and difficult to clean up!

Zhang Lang's army bravely rushed to kill, completely crushed the enemy army, and the enemy army was defeated like a mountain, and retreated to the east!

Zhang Liao did not pursue, because the other party was cavalry, and the pursuit was just Lang's effort. Hastily cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the clouds.

On the other side, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran were a little frightened when they heard the news that Zhang Liao had once again defeated the Xianbei people, and they ordered their troops and horses to slow down and advance to increase vigilance.

Although Zhang Liao won another battle, he couldn't change the big move, and the entire five northern counties seemed to be unable to hold on!
