Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sweep

The one-sided battle lasted until dusk, when Zhang Lang collected his troops and returned to the camp.

In this battle, Yuan Shao's 150,000 troops were killed and nearly 120,000 were captured, and only 30,000 remnants fled back to Taiyuan County with Yuan Shao, these 30,000 remnants were basically cavalry, and the 100,000 infantry army was almost wiped out!

"The defeat in this battle is all due to your reckless suggestions! What else do you have to say? The frightened Yuan Shao asked Tian Feng angrily. Tian Feng was ashamed in his heart, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "My subordinates are incompetent, please punish the lord!" "Humph! Come on, drag Tian Feng down and behead the public! ”

The generals were shocked and pleaded for Tian Feng.

Yuan Shao listened to everyone's words, and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart, "Put Tian Feng into the prisoner car, and wait until you return to Luoyang to discuss it!" Tian Feng kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill!" He stood up and walked out of the hall under the custody of two pro-soldiers.

Yuan Shao sat down, sighed, and said with a look of chagrin and sadness: "I have not experienced such a big defeat since I started the army!" More than 100,000 soldiers! Yuan Shao couldn't help beating his chest and stood.

Everyone couldn't help but feel the same way, and Gao Ran sighed with emotion: "Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled! It's really hard to resist! Taiyuan County Taishou Zang Yan reminded: "Lord, now that our army is newly defeated, we should beware of the enemy taking advantage of the weakness to attack!" Yuan Shao reacted and said to Zang Yan: "You immediately arrange defense!" Don't let the enemy take advantage of it! Zang Yan clenched his fists and took the order, and left quickly. Yuan Shao said to Yan Liang again: "Order Luoyang and Jizhou to send additional troops into Taiyuan County in case of accidents!" "No!" Yan Liang clenched his fists and turned around and walked out of the hall.

His gaze turned back to Zhang Lang's side.

A Jedi counterattack was over, Yuan Shao's army was completely defeated, and all the baggage and materials in Yuan Shao's camp, including thousands of high-quality war horses, became the trophies of Lu Bu's army, in addition to nearly 60,000 prisoners.

"This battle was fought beautifully!" Inside the big tent, Zhang Lang said excitedly.

The generals were also excited. Hou Cheng hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to the general's clever plan, our army can finally turn defeat into victory!" The generals thought it was true, and looked at Zhang Lang with a look of awe, they originally thought that Lu Bu only had martial arts, but they didn't expect that he could actually use stratagems and soldiers to make dangerous moves in such a dangerous situation, and finally turn the tide of the battle into victory in a desperate situation!

Zhang Lang glanced at the generals, "This victory is everyone's credit!" If we hadn't united and fought bravely, we would have been defeated! The generals were very happy that Zhang Lang said this, and they all smiled. Zhang Lang waved his hand, "All the finances captured in this battle will be rewarded to the officers and men of the three armies!" The generals were overjoyed and hugged their fists to thank them.

Zhang Lang pondered: "Although Yuan Shao has been defeated, the rebels of Shuofang County in Wuyuan County are still there!" This is our big problem! ”

All the generals asked for battle together: "Please give the general an order, and the last general will destroy the rebels in one go!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed, "Zhang Liao." "The last will be." "I'll give you 30,000 troops, and you immediately lead the army south to seize the Yin Pavilion and Letou Mountain to guard against Yuan Shao! Although Yuan Shao was defeated, he was still a heavy threat! Zhang Lang said that the Letou Mountain is at the junction of Yanmen County and Taiyuan County, between the two sections of the Great Wall, and is connected to Juzhu Mountain and Xiawu Mountain in the east, which is the throat road from Yanmen County to the south, and its strategic position is very important; The Yin Pavilion is the location of the Yanmen County Governor's Office, located in the northeast of the Tired Mountain for more than 70 miles, and Yuan Shao left 3,000 people to guard the Yin Pavilion when he was defeated.

"The last general commands!" Zhang Liao took the arrow from Zhang Lang's hand, turned around and left the big tent.

Zhang Lang pondered: "Those rebels should not know the news that Yuan Shao has been defeated!" Can't make them react! Raising his head, "I command all the cavalry first, and you lead the army to follow!" Destroy these rebels in one fell swoop! "No!" The generals shouted in unison.

A total of 60,000 rebels from Shuofang County and Wuyuan County joined forces and marched towards Dingxiang County. Wuyuan County Taishou Cui Yanshuo Fang County Taishou Lu Cheng, Lian Gong marched in the middle of the army, talking and laughing with each other, looking very relaxed, at this time they did not know the news that Yuan Shao had been defeated.

The knight in charge of the communication suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, and was speeding towards them. Seeing this, Cui Yan pointed at the messenger knight with his horsewhip and smiled: "There must be good news!" Lu Cheng smiled: "Isn't it that Lu Bu has already been defeated?" ”

The messenger galloped in front of the two, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and reported urgently: "The two adults are not good! Yuan Shao's army was defeated in Dingxiang County! Of the 150,000 troops, less than 30,000 horses were left and fled back to Taiyuan County! ”

Cui Yan Lucheng only felt that the thunderbolt on a sunny day almost fainted, and Cui Yan shouted in a gaffe: "This is impossible!" Yuan Gong's 150,000 troops, and 60,000 troops from Dingxiang and Yanmen assisted! Even if Lu Bu has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to win! Pointing at the messenger with a horsewhip, he shouted in a loud voice: "You dare to fake military information!" The messenger was shocked and hurriedly said: "How dare the villain fake the military information!" Yuan Shao's army was indeed defeated! It was Lu Bu's marshal Tieqi who pretended to be Yuan Shao's envoy to open the gate of Dingxiang City, and then killed the Taishou of Dingxiang County and the Taishou of Yanmen County, and captured their 60,000 troops! Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liaoshuai's army poured out to fight with Yuan Shaojun, and at a critical time, Lu Bu led the 60,000 troops to kill! Yuan Shao was caught off guard, so he was defeated! ”

Cui Yanlucheng's face was pale, and he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the front: "Lu Bu is here!" ”

The two ** were shocked, hurriedly looked up, and saw countless cavalry surging across the hills in front, the general at the head, riding a fiery red rabbit horse, wearing a beast-faced swallowing head Tang Nijia, carrying Fang Tian's halberd, it was Lu Bu! The two were flustered and hurriedly turned their horses to flee for their lives!

Seeing that the commander was only fleeing for his life, the 60,000 army threw away their armor and fled in a hurry, and before they could engage in battle, the 60,000 army collapsed!

Zhang Lang's red rabbit horse was extremely fast, passing through the rout all the way, catching up with Cui Yan Lu Cheng, who was fleeing for his life in a hurry, and slashed Lu Cheng with a halberd, and then flew Cui Yan with a halberd. When the army saw this, they were even more frightened. Zhang Lang rode his horse to the hill in front of him, and as soon as he pulled the reins of his horse, the red rabbit horse man stood up and let out a long neighing like a dragon's groan!

Seeing this, the army couldn't help but stop.

Zhang Lang raised his voice and said: "It was Lu Cheng and Cui Yan who rebelled, and it has nothing to do with the army!" Those who want to serve me stay, and those who don't want to serve me can leave on their own, and I will not stop them! ”

All the armies looked at each other and knelt down one after another, and the 60,000 army knelt at the foot of the mountain, and the scene was really spectacular! Zhang Lang's heart couldn't help but rise with a strong sense of achievement!

At the same time, Zhang Liao went down to the Yin Pavilion without a fight, because as soon as the 3,000 defenders heard that Zhang Liao had led an army of 30,000 to kill, they abandoned the city early and fled. And the partial division that attacked the Letou Mountain also occupied the Letou Mountain almost at the same time. It turned out that in order to occupy these two strategic points as quickly as possible, and also to prevent accidents, Zhang Liao divided an army and ordered a deputy general to lead it straight to the Letou Mountain, while he himself led the main force to advance into the Yin Pavilion.
