Chapter 25: Collision
The generals and the strategists pleaded together for Gao Ran. Yuan Shao was a person who had no idea, and when he saw that everyone was interceding for Gao Ran, he gave up, and said to Gao Ran angrily: "For the sake of everyone interceding for you, I will not pursue today's crime for the time being, get up." "Thank you for not killing!" Gao Ran stood up.
"Is it the striker led by Lu Bu?" Yuan Shao asked. In his mind, the only one who had the ability to defeat Gao Lan's 10,000 cavalry with only 2,000 cavalry could be Lu Bu.
Gao Ran said with a look of shame: "It's not Lu Bu!" It's his general Zhang Liao! β
Yuan Shao's face became ugly again, "You actually lost to Lu Bu's general!?" β
Gao Ran was ashamed and wanted to die.
Tian Feng hugged his fists and said: "Lord, our army should speed up, and we must not be robbed of momentum by Lu Bu's army!" β
Yuan Shao thought so and ordered the army to speed up. At the same time, Zhang Lang's main force was also advancing towards the Great Wall at full speed.
The armies of both sides reached the Great Wall on their front and back feet.
Yuan Shao's army ignored the fatigue from afar, and immediately launched a strong attack on the Great Wall, trying to take advantage of the unstable foothold of LΓΌ Bu's army to capture the Great Wall in one go. More than 30,000 foot soldiers continued to hit the city wall like a tidal wave. Lu Bujun sniped with a strong bow and crossbow. Arrows flew in the sky like flying locusts, and Yuan Shaojun's infantry was constantly shot to the ground; The shield-bearer stepped forward, only to hear a rapid crackling sound, and the shield in the shield-bearer's hand was filled with feathered arrows, like a hedgehog's back; One after another cloud ladders were set up at the head of the city, and Yuan Shaojun's warriors braved the rain of arrows of Lu Bujun to climb with their lives!
As the first Yuan Shaojun appeared on the city, more and more Yuan Shaojun climbed the city wall. The soldiers on both sides fought bloodily on the top of the city, shouts, the clashing of weapons, and screams resounded, and blood flew all over the sky! There was a non-commissioned soldier of Lu Bu who was desperate, and he actually fell down the city wall with a warrior of Yuan Shaojun who had just landed in the city! The battle is extremely tragic!
Tian Feng said excitedly: "Lord, you will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bujun today!" β
Yuan Shao shook the horsewhip, and his face was full of proud smiles.
Suddenly, the gates opened! Yuan Shao and the others saw Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's six thousand iron horsemen surging out, and they instantly dispersed Yuan Shao's army near the city gate!
Tian Feng's face changed, "It's not good!" Lord, hurry up and order General Yan Liang's cavalry to block Lu Bu's iron cavalry! Yuan Shao immediately ordered.
The drums of war rumbled loudly, and Yan Liang's 20,000 iron horsemen killed Lu Bu, the earth shook, and the smoke and dust rolled up to the sky and the earth, and the ears were full of rumbling thunder.
"General, it's Yuan Shao's iron horse!" Zhang Liao shouted. Zhang Lang said categorically: "You lead four thousand iron cavalry to sweep the foot soldiers under the city!" Yan Liang handed it over to me! Yuluo took two thousand of the most powerful iron horsemen to face Yan Liang and ten thousand iron horsemen to kill. Zhang Liao led another 4,000 iron cavalry to turn around and began to sweep away Yuan Shaojun's foot soldiers under the city like a huge sickle. The iron cavalry rushed into the enemy army like a raging wave, and Yuan Shaojun's foot soldiers fell one after another like harvested wheat! Yuan Shaojun was frightened and fled in all directions, and the scene was chaotic!
Yuan Shao and others were in a hurry.
The 2,000 iron cavalry led by Zhang Lang and Yan Liang's 20,000 iron cavalry collided violently. The soldiers on both sides waved their swords and spears desperately, and the roar almost drowned out the rumbling horses' hooves! One by one, the soldiers fell from their horses, and they were instantly drowned in the rolling iron hooves. Zhang Lang rode the red rabbit horse to take the lead, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was like a death scythe to quickly harvest life, every time it was raised, there was always the blood of the enemy soldiers splashed on the battlefield!
Zhang Lang met Yan Liang. Yan Liang roared, swung his knife and slashed down, and the big sword was vigorous. Zhang Lang raised Fang Tian's halberd to block his powerful blow, only to hear a loud bang! Zhang Lang pushed up hard, pushed away Yan Liang's big knife, and then stabbed Yan Liang in the chest with a halberd, extremely fast! Yan Liang was shocked and hurriedly dodged. Fang Tian's halberd pierced the air, Zhang Lang took advantage of the situation to swing Fang Tian's halberd, and the halberd rod hit Yan Liang's chest directly, Yan Liang screamed, spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell out of the saddle, falling five or six meters away, almost being trampled to death by his own speeding iron horse! Zhang Lang wanted to take Yan Liang's life, but the cavalry of Yuan Shaojun's army who rushed up made it impossible for him to do so. Yan Liang got back on his horse and glanced fiercely at Zhang Lang, who was killing his cavalry, but he didn't dare to step forward, urging the cavalry to rush and kill while retreating!
Zhang Lang and his two thousand iron cavalry fell into a bitter battle, although Zhang Lang was unstoppable, although the two thousand iron cavalry were not afraid of death, but after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the situation was becoming more and more disadvantaged!
At the time of the bitter battle on this side, Zhang Liao's side had completely broken Yuan Shaojun's foot soldiers, and the remnants of the defeated army rushed towards Yuan Shaojun's large array in panic.
Yuan Shao was shocked and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing this, Zhang Lang did not like to fight, and led his iron cavalry to turn his head and run towards the direction of the Great Wall.
Yan Liang was unwilling and ordered his 20,000 iron horsemen to chase after him! I saw the rolling tide rushing towards the city gate! Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows fell on the city wall, shooting Yan Liangjun's position, and the 20,000 iron horsemen stopped!
Zhang Lang led his iron cavalry into the city gate, and then the city gate was closed.
The originally noisy battlefield suddenly fell silent.
Yuan Shaojun collected his troops and returned to the camp. Yuan Shao threw the horsewhip to the ground and shouted angrily: "Damn! It's disgusting! The generals couldn't help but bow their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.
Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang, "Yan Liang, how much has our army lost?" β
Yan Liang clenched his fists with a solemn face and said, "Back to the lord, the foot soldiers in this battle have suffered heavy losses!" About 15,000 were killed, seven or eight thousand were wounded, and more than 1,000 were captured! β
Yuan Shao almost vomited blood, and said with a blushing face: "In just one day, our army has suffered heavy defeats one after another, losing tens of thousands of soldiers!" Doesn't this make the princes of the world laugh? β
The crowd lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Tian Feng frowned and said, "Lu Bu is unstoppable!" Even General Yan Liang almost died in his hands! Even if the hard attack is captured, our army is afraid that it will suffer heavy losses! β
"Yuan Hao has a strategy to break the enemy?" Yuan Shao asked with a look of hope.
Tian Feng smiled and said, "Actually, it's simple!" But on the one hand, he sent people to various counties to spread rumors, saying that the Taishou were preparing to cooperate with the lord to attack Lu Bu, and at the same time, he said that Lu Bu was ready to return to the army to eradicate the internal troubles first! In this way, there will inevitably be more suspicion between Lu Bu and the Taishou! Then he sent someone to lobby the Taishou, saying that he would benefit from the powerful, and his subordinates thought that the Taishou would definitely raise troops to attack Lu Bu! If we attack from the front, we will be able to completely destroy Lu Bu! β
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "Good strategy!" Just follow Mr. Yuanhao's plan! β
Night fell. Zhang Lang stood in front of the map, his brow furrowed. Although winning two battles in a row today dealt a heavy blow to Yuan Shaojun, Yuan Shao still has more than 100,000 troops, and Wu Tong's 30,000 horses are assisting from the side, and the situation is still very unoptimistic!
Zhang Lang thought of giving up. frowned and shook his head, and said secretly: No! Don't give up until the end!
