Chapter 288 Dong Zhuo's army was defeated and retreated
The army in the rear had already fought with it, but it was indeed killed in front of him, and now the rear army was already in chaos.
However, this is not the most terrible, what is terrible is that there is a rumor that has spread, that is, the base behind them Xie County has been reoccupied by Zhang Chaojun, which means that their back road has been cut off.
"This is impossible, I have arranged 5,000 soldiers and horses there, even if I want to attack the city, someone will definitely send me a message, and it is impossible to lose it silently like this." After Li Meng heard this, he still didn't believe it.
It's just that regardless of whether Li Mengxin believes it or not, there is indeed a black-clothed cavalry behind him, and a big banner with the word Lu in the distance is waving in the wind.
It was Lu Bu, the chief general of the vanguard army, who came. He came all the way from Xie County.
When it was dark, Lu Bu had already come to the outside of Li Meng's military camp, but Pang Tong said that he couldn't do anything until he saw the chaos in the other party's military camp, so he kept suppressing it. It wasn't until just now, when he saw that the entire military camp under surveillance was in chaos, that he suddenly came out with the cavalry and caught Dong Zhuojun off guard.
Lu Bu appeared, led the brave vanguard army to fight and kill all the way, and quickly broke up Dong Zhuojun's rear army and came to the front of the Chinese army.
At this time, Li Meng and Yang Ding had returned to the Chinese army, and they wanted to see what was going on behind them. In this way, the two groups finally met in the dark.
When the distance was still 100 meters, Yang Ding saw Lu Bu holding Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand by the color of the torch, and immediately shouted: "It's Lu Fengxian!" ”
"What? Is that the guy? Didn't the intelligence say that he should still be in Youzhou? How did it end up here again? Hearing that it was Lu Bu who appeared, Li Mengzi was still a little unconvinced, but when he saw the dazzling red rabbit horse rushing towards him as far as his eyes could see, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, stop him for me." ”
Lu Buqi's name can be described as a famous Dong Zhuojun, which is known to everyone.
At the beginning, Dong Zhuojun Lu, Huaxiong's force value was quite strong, and he was finally killed by Sun Jian in Yangren City. But he will not be Lu Bu's opponent at his peak.
Lu Bu's name, for Dong Zhuojun's influence, cannot be expressed in words. Now that he suddenly found him here, Dong Zhuojun's combat power suddenly dropped to a trough.
"Li Meng'er, Wu Nalu Fengxian, take your life." Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse and rushing to the front, didn't see where Li Meng was, but he believed that this person should not be far from him, so he shouted and killed him with a halberd.
The impacting Lu Bu deserved to be the first fierce general, and as he continued to wave his arms, he saw one after another Dong Zhuojun generals being cut off from their horses.
Lu Bu's courage frightened Li Meng in the crowd with a big change in his face. Although his martial arts are also good, he is still inferior to generals like Hua Xiong and Li Yu, let alone compared to Lu Bu. Seeing that the other party was coming, he ran away from his horse, causing the people around him to flee with him.
In front of Xu Rong with 50,000 soldiers of the Sixth Legion, and after Lu Bu with 50,000 cavalry of the Vanguard Legion, at this moment, Dong Zhuo's army was wrapped in dumplings, and he was beaten in the dark. In addition, Li Meng took the lead in retreating, and now the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, and the chaos is to the extreme.
In terms of troops, he did not have too much advantage, and without the slightest preparation, Li Meng's army was defeated like a mountain, and he turned back to Xie County with the remnants of the army.
Most of the infantry led by Li Meng was not as fast as the cavalry of the vanguard legion, and it could be said that he was chased and beaten along the way, and when he came to understand the county with the remnants of the 30,000 army, he had less than 20,000 remaining troops who should have 110,000 people around him.
On the tower of Xie County, Pang Tong was standing in the center, and beside him was General Hou Cheng in military uniform.
Although there are only 2,000 defenders in the city now, with the high walls of the city, Pang Tong and the others are still full of confidence on their faces.
"Li Mengxiao'er, where to escape, Lu Feng will come first." When Li Meng looked up and saw the big banner planted on the wall of the county seat, he was sighing to himself, and there was a shout behind him, and Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, led the vanguard army to kill again.
"How?" Seeing that Lu Bu was rushing behind him again, Li Meng knew that he had no way to go, so he sighed and asked the generals who were following him.
"General, now there is only one last fight." Adjutant General Yang Ding raised the spear in his hand and said. Seven or eight hours of running made the war horses he rode lose the strength of their legs to run, and it was unrealistic to be on the run. Only a war, maybe there will be some life.
"Well, even so, fight for your life." Li Meng nodded heavily, at this time he had no choice.
Li Meng, who had made a decision, clenched the weapon in his hand, and led the remnants of 20,000 people under his command to shout and fight back against the rushing Lu Bu army.
Li Meng looked at death as if he were at home, but the victory or defeat of the war was not something that could be exchanged for the lives of the soldiers, and under the general trend, this was like a mantis arm blocking the car, and it could not change the outcome of the war at all.
I saw Lu Bu wielding Fang Tian's halberd, rushing all the way to kill, after seeing Li Meng's location clearly, the speed was faster, the red rabbit horse galloped like the wind, and everywhere he passed, but anyone who stood in the way was killed by a halberd.
Finally, Lu Bu and Li Meng touched a head, and then the two generals fought together.
When they were entangled with each other, the cavalry of the vanguard corps also fanned outflank, forming an encirclement with the 1,000 men and horses led by General Hou Cheng who was killed in the county town.
Li Meng relied on his courage and fought with Lu Bu for thirty rounds, and began to show flaws.
What a fierce general Lu Bu is, how can he not take advantage of a flaw, and suddenly the halberd in his hand was chopped and chopped, and finally a halberd pierced Li Meng's chest, and under the splash of blood, Dong Zhuojun's main general died on the battlefield.
Li Meng died, and the army surrounded him again, but Yang Ding, who was leading the infantry, saw that the situation was not good, and his face changed greatly. At this moment, just as Hou Cheng led people to kill behind him, shouting all the way to surrender the gun and not kill, finally he closed his eyes in pain, threw the spear in his hand on the ground, and became one of the captives.
In the first battle of Anyi City, Dong Zhuo's army was wiped out 150,000, including more than 100,000 prisoners, and countless grains, grasses and baggage were captured.
However, it is not fundamental to solve the invading enemy, Zhang Chao has an order, and Yuan Shao can be ignored for the time being, and he still needs to resist Cao Cao's troops. But Dong Zhuo really didn't have so many concerns, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the subordinate, which is the goal that needs to be achieved in this battle.
Under this order, as soon as Xu Rong led the soldiers of the Sixth Army Corps to arrive, the two armies were combined into one, except for leaving 5,000 infantry to guard the prisoners, the army of nearly 100,000 people identified the direction and went straight to Si Li to kill.
Dong Zhuojun's main force is now mainly in the Yongzhou area. You need to be on guard against the attack of Liangzhou Mumateng at all times. Even Dong Zhuo himself was also sitting in Chang'an, which directly led to almost no heavy troops near Luoyang City.
No one would have thought that Li Meng's army would be defeated, so quickly, so miserably.
Under all kinds of expectations, when Zhang Chao's army suddenly appeared in the Sili area, Dong Zhuojun's army here was only withdrawn after a little resistance.
Lu Bu was the idea of Pang Tong, and together with General Xu Rong, he attacked the city and plundered the land, and occupied most of the Sili area in just over 20 days, and the other unoccupied areas were just time.
Dong Zhuojun was also repelled to Tongguan, where he could be regarded as having a place to survive by virtue of the danger.
After Lu Bujun hit the front of Tongguan, he finally stopped advancing. Once the strategic goal is achieved, the next step is how to pacify and develop the subordinate areas of the Division, rather than continuing to attack and find people to fight hard.
After Si Li's great victory was transmitted back to the General's Mansion in Jinyang City, Zhang Chao was waiting for news in front of the sand table. As soon as the messenger arrived, he laughed and planted the red flag all over the division, and laughed: "The vanguard army is heroic, and the sixth army is heroic."
Zhang Chao retreated two enemies in a row, first defeated the 150,000 army led by Yuan Shu, and held Hanoi. Later, he killed Li Meng and defeated Dong Zhuo's army. After the two battles, Zhang Chao's army was famous all over the world, and for a while, no one dared to underestimate him, even after Cao Cao in Xu Du heard about it, he also sighed: "That is, Shengchao, how to give birth to Cao!" ”
With Zhang Chao taking possession of Si Li, his territory has the land of Merge, Secluded, and Si Li. For a time, he became the second prince among the princes after Cao Cao, the son of Fengtian.
Zhang Chao became stronger, which also caused Yuan Shao, who occupied Yizhou, to feel even more uncomfortable.
Just after redeeming his brother Yuan Shu with a lot of money, there was news that Si Li was occupied, which caused Yuan Shao to almost vomit blood.
To say, among the princes, Yuan Shao is not the worst, and there are still some strengths. However, he is being sandwiched between Zhang Chao and Cao Cao, and this depression is the most troublesome.
Zhang Chao occupied Si Li, and his territory began to border some parts of Cao Cao's department. In order to achieve sufficient shocking effect, he ordered the troops of Li Ru and Xu Rongsuo, the Sixth Army guarding Hedong, to be stationed in Luoyang in case Cao Cao suddenly marched into the army. He also arranged for the cavalry corps of the vanguard army to which Lu Bu belonged to go to Wenxiang before Tongguan to shock Dong Zhuo's possible revenge. The Dragon and Tiger Army led by Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, who had been preparing to support possible situations at any time, appeared in Hedong to deal with any problems that might arise.
After the army began to adjust its defenses, Zhang Chao felt the emptiness of the current troops.
Although under these two battles, the army did not suffer much losses, and captured a lot of enemy soldiers, which was enough to replenish the army. But the problem is that there is not enough silver.
