760 Capture in the fog
Xiahou Yuan was attacked by Yang Ang and Yang Ren in the camp, and almost lost his life because of it, until now he didn't dare to look at Cao Cao's eyes, this was all thanks to Yang Ang, and the anger in his heart towards him can be imagined.
Therefore, Xiahou Yuan showed no mercy to Yang Ang, and the big knife remembered the key points of Yang Ang.
Yang Ang was not Xiahou Yuan's opponent at all, plus he was surrounded everywhere, he was flustered, and within a few rounds, he was beaten by Xiahou Yuan and almost rolled off the horse, and his helmet fell to the ground, and he fled in a hurry.
The fog was still thick, and Yang Ang only heard the constant shouts of killing everywhere, panicking. Zhang He had already drawn his bow and shot arrows aimed at him, and just when Yang Ang had just cut down a row of soldiers and was about to break out of the encirclement, Zhang He, who was hiding in the fog, shot an arrow and hit Yang Ang's heart.
Yang Ang screamed, turned over and fell off the horse, Zhang He immediately urged the horse out, cut off Yang Ang's head with a knife, leaned over and lifted it in his hand and laughed. When Xiahou Yuan arrived, he found that he had been robbed of the credit by Zhang He, and he was very sorry in his heart.
General Yang Ang was killed, the subordinate soldiers fled, surrendered, Xiahou Yuan's army became even stronger, and continued to move forward to join Xu Chu and others.
Cao Cao, Wang Baoyu and others commanded the army to march along the middle road. As the leader of the army, Fan Jinqiang is heroic, slashing and killing many deputy generals one after another, and capturing several camps in a row, which is extremely powerful. Unwilling to be lonely, the flying cloud rat also joined the battle group, and the nunchucks specialized in melee attacks, but also killed many soldiers.
"Shibei should be impressed for three days, Feiyun Mouse, your stick technique seems to have improved a lot." Fan Jinqiang easily killed the enemy while praising the Flying Cloud Mouse.
"Hehe, this is all taught by the master!" The Flying Cloud Rat smiled sincerely, there was a secret in it that only he knew. It was on that day that I practiced all night on the stone bed, and my skills were at least three percent better than before, and my eyesight and hearing had improved in different ways, which was wonderful.
Cao Cao was overjoyed in his heart, holding a half-section of the Heavenly Sword, and ordered the army to surge forward, and at noon, 100,000 Cao troops finally approached Yangping Pass.
"Report! Yang Ren was defeated and fled! ”
"Report! Yang Ang died in the chaos! ”
Zhang Wei in Yangping Pass received reports of soldiers losing on the battlefield one after another, and his heart was extremely flustered. He never expected that Cao Cao actually launched an attack in the fog, not only did he march fast, but he was also able to take down all the camps along the way, and the military situation was very accurate.
Zhang Wei was also puzzled, in order to prevent Cao Jun's sneak attack, he often changed camps, and there was a fog blockade, disturbing people's ears and eyes, but everything involving secrets, except for him and a few henchmen, the rest of the soldiers were all obeying orders, there is no such thing as a traitor, where did Cao Cao find out such a detailed military situation?
At this time, the fog had dissipated, Zhang Wei hurriedly came to the city wall, only to see that the northern hillside was densely packed with Cao Jun, and suddenly there was a feeling that the general trend had gone.
"Report! Xu Chu and Xu Huang are leading the army to kill the South Gate! ”
"Report! Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He are leading the army to besiege them! ”
Zhang Weichang sighed, and at this time, an adjutant general said: "Yangping Pass is surrounded, there is no echo outside, and it is difficult to hold it." Please also ask the general to leave the city as soon as possible and return to Nanzheng. ”
Zhang Wei nodded, and it could only be so, he immediately led his subordinate army, rushed out of the south gate, and headed in the direction of Nanzheng.
After walking less than five miles, he happened to encounter Xu Chu's army. Xu Chu immediately pointed at Zhang Wei with a big sword: "Zhang Wei, do you dare to fight with me?" ”
If you don't fight, will you let me go? Zhang Wei didn't answer, holding a spear, he took the lead and rushed towards Xu Chu, Xu Chu waved a big knife, and a knife light rushed straight at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei didn't dodge, the spear in his hand was like a long snake, straight to Xu Chu's chest, and it was a desperate fight. Xu Chu hurriedly put away his knife to block, but Zhang Wei quickly drew back his spear and rushed to the side, not wanting to fight against Xu Chu at all.
Xu Chu was furious, and the big knife immediately swept and slashed at Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei was too late to return the gun, so he hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but Xu Chu took advantage of the situation to smash Zhang Wei's back with the back of the knife from the air.
Burst! Zhang Wei suddenly vomited blood from his mouth, almost fainted, he gritted his teeth and straightened his body, shook his spear, and threw it at Xu Chu with all his strength.
Xu Chu's big knife swept again, sweeping Zhang Wei's spear away, but at this moment, Zhang Wei pulled out his waist knife and bravely rushed out from one side.
Xu Chu was very annoyed and ashamed, and chased and killed all the way, until the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang Wei lost their armor. Zhang Wei was wounded, and although he was full of anger, he did not dare to fight, and finally escaped with less than 3,000 remaining men.
Cao Cao led the army and finally occupied Yangping Pass, which was fought very beautifully, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Cao Cao was very happy, dancing excitedly, and did not hide his joy.
Everyone knows that being able to win Yangping Pass so lightly is inseparable from Wang Baoyu's plan to take precautions and strategize.
In Sima Yi's eyes, for the first time, he showed sincere admiration for Wang Baoyu, this person is not only talented, but also courageous, if it weren't for Wang Baoyu in danger, what kind of hot air balloon to explore the military situation, Cao Jun would never dare to march in the thick fog, it is a taboo for soldiers. Therefore, in Sima Yi's view, no matter what kind of reward Wang Baoyu receives, it is not too much.
Of course, Jia Xu also admires Wang Baoyu, who can always win by surprise and can be called a genius. But Jia Xu was thinking about another thing, with Wang Baoyu's talent and the position he is in now, as well as Cao Cao's trust in this person, if he continues on this posture, sooner or later he will be in power and dominate one side. If it can't be used by Cao Pi, it will eventually become a big problem for his henchmen.
Due to the hurry of Zhang Wei's escape, the grain, grass and baggage were left in Yangping Pass. Due to Zhang Lu's strong support, it was very generous and gave Cao Jun effective supplies. Cao Cao ordered a few days of recuperation before attacking Nanzheng.
Cao Cao pulled Wang Baoyu to the official residence of Yangpingguan, set up a banquet to celebrate the achievement, and drank until dark, and the two slept together again, like father and son.
In the middle of the night, Wang Baoyu woke up thirsty and looked around for water to drink, but accidentally found that there seemed to be a small wooden box under the table. It looks inconspicuous, but when I opened it, there were two talismans inside, and the word "fog" was faintly visible on the talismans.
Wang Baoyu's mind turned, he knew that there must be a mystery in this, whether to return these fog is caused by this thing, he saw that Cao Cao was sleeping soundly on all fours, so he unceremoniously put the two talismans into his arms, and put the empty small wooden box back in its original place.
However, it was said that Yang Ren and Zhang Wei had fled back to Nanzheng, and of the 50,000 soldiers and horses they had brought with them, there were now less than 20,000 left. Zhang Lu was furious and asked loudly, why did he lose Yangping Pass so lightly, and also lost so many soldiers and horses?
