Chapter 30: Victory in the First Battle
Zhang Hongfan was loyal, and Li Tang's old face turned red, this loyalty is synonymous with incompetence in later generations!
"Raising thieves is self-respecting! General Zhang said it well! In fact, this Xu Xuan was in a hurry to send the general to relieve the siege, in fact, he was also afraid of you, the general! If we stay in this Zhangling all the time, we can also be regarded as a knife in the hands of Lord Xu Xuan, a knife that can be used with confidence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the time comes, Xu Xuan will not only not be calculating us, but will also reuse it. In fact, when Xu Xuan is using us, why can't we use his power to develop our own power? ”
It seems that from beginning to end, Shi Tianze has seen the ins and outs of this matter very clearly!
"Oh! I see! It's okay, I don't want to be an enemy of Lord Xu Xuan, I just want to give the people who follow me a way to live, so that they can live happier lives. The path that Lord Xu Xuan pointed out to me is only good for the strength of our Linhai City, and there is no harm! How do I disobey? ”
Li Tang muttered.
"The Lord is righteous and righteous! We will follow the lord and protect the safety of the people in our coastal city. ”
When the three of them heard Li Tang's simple words, they immediately bowed sincerely.
"Well, since we have received the benefits of Lord Xu Xuan, and the army is here again, let's take Sun Zhong's company camp directly!" Li Tang said directly.
"The last general asked for an order to take 100,000 cavalry from his headquarters to attack Sun Zhong's company camp tonight and annihilate the 200,000 troops."
As soon as Guo Kan heard Li Tang's order, he immediately asked to send troops first.
This Guo Kan is not an ordinary person, he wants to go, Li Tang naturally will not agree. But before Li Tang could speak, Shi Tianze spoke first:
"General Guo, let's steal the camp in a hurry, let's discuss it."
Shi Tianze is older than Guo Kan and Zhang Hongfan, and Guo Kan is extremely loyal, and he is also quiet on weekdays, so he is not unhappy about Shi Tianze's obstruction.
"I thought that our Linhai City area was still vast and sparsely populated, and there was a lot of fertile land that no one cultivated. Most of the people under the lord are also raw, even if they are educated and become familiar, they are not as smart as the people of my Han Dynasty.
Therefore, for the Yellow Turban soldiers, we can still kill less and kill less, drive to one place, and make a forced landing is the best policy! Shi Tianze said.
"Great goodness! The Yellow Turban soldiers are actually the common people of the Han Dynasty! As a last resort, they rebelled. If you can survive, you must be able to be a good citizen with peace of mind. Therefore, I agree that the Yellow Turban soldiers can be forced to surrender, and it is better not to kill them! ”
Shi Tianze's words said that Li Tang's heart was in trouble.
"Good! I studied the map around Xiazhangling County, and the scouts also found out the location of Sun Zhong's camp. Sun Zhong's company camp was stationed on all sides of Zhangling County, and Zhangling County, with mountains and rivers in the north, did not have many roads to pass.
I suggested that we divide our troops into three routes, one attacking the company and one from the southeast, and one attacking the company and camp from the southwest, and scatter the Yellow Turban soldiers and flee to the north.
After that, a group of soldiers was sent to camp on the main roads in the north, blocking the way to besiege these routs in order to wait for labor. In this way, the Yellow Turban Army was attacked by surprise, and the way of survival was cut off, and surrender was inevitable. ”
Zhang Hongfan planned.
"This is very good, we will immediately bury the pot to make rice, kill pigs and cattle, and after a full meal, prepare to attack Sun Zhong's company camp at night."
That night, when everyone had made proper arrangements, the horses picked up the bells, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, the better the signal for the attack, they set off.
Speaking of this Sun Zhong, thinking that Liu Neng in the city was just a coward, he didn't have the courage to go out of the city at all, so he enjoyed the wine and the robbed woman of the good family in his Chinese army treasure tent.
This Sun Zhong was originally a loyal believer of Tiangong General Zhang Jiao, and he originally had the ambition to protect the people and kill all the evil officials in his heart. However, as the power in his hands became greater and smaller, he became more and more intoxicated with the pleasure of controlling the life and death of others, which was as exciting as **** and could not be parted.
The right to live and kill has intoxicated his reason, and the original simple ideals have long been thrown out of the clouds. Now, every day he doesn't harm a few good women, he can't sleep, and after he sleeps a good woman, he must be replaced with a new one, those courtesans used by others, he doesn't bother to look at them, this is power, willful!
The Lord will do so, and most of his subordinates will follow suit. Anyway, there are a lot of women from good families, and if you get tired of playing and then go out to rob them, people always have to move, don't they?
It can be said that Sun Zhong's military camp is brightly lit and frolicking. If there are still vigilant people, they are also staring at Zhangling County, and they don't notice their rear at all! After all, there are 400,000 friendly troops outside of you! I heard that Xiangyang City has sent people to come recently, but no matter how fast it is, it will take half a month to come back!
When the time comes, when the army is gathered, who are you afraid of? It can be said that the Yellow Turban Army has no fear of officers and soldiers now. The officers and soldiers they encountered were either afraid of the battle or vulnerable, so where was there anything to fear?
Therefore, when a cannon rang out, when Zhang Hongfan and Guo Kan led the troops into the company camp, the Yellow Turban Army didn't realize that someone had come to rob the camp. It wasn't until the horses rushed into the camp, hacked their compatriots to death, and shouted surrender to avoid death, that they reacted that someone had robbed the camp.
And then the clever point, that's the girl and run, weapons, armor or something, you don't need it, it's cumbersome! Those who find weapons and are ready to resist, the saber does not recognize people. There are also some people, seeing that the war horse has arrived, and they kneel directly to the ground, resigned themselves to fate!
The company camp of hundreds of thousands of troops, but in just one or two hours, has been trampled by Li Tang's war horse. Sun Zhong in the big tent of the Chinese army had not slept yet, and was still tossing the newly robbed women, when he heard the commotion outside, he kicked the person next to the pillow, and he didn't even put on his armor, and went out of the camp to watch with a big knife.
There were cavalry everywhere, and the soldiers around him were all scurrying, knowing that the general situation was gone, so he called for his guards to protect himself and kill him towards the north where there were few people.
As soon as the Yellow Turban soldiers saw Sun Zhong fleeing north, they immediately gave up resistance, threw away their armor, and ran towards the north. Fortunately, the soldiers who stole the camp only cared about capturing prisoners, and they were not too eager to chase themselves, so Sun Zhong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking more than ten miles to the north, at this time, the sky suddenly became brighter, and although the soldiers were strange, they still felt happy. end
It's much safer to escape during the day than at night! At least during the day, it is much safer to enter the mountains than at night. At this time, there were less than 100,000 people, and most of them had no armor, and half of them were unarmed. That is, he fled empty-handed.
Sun Zhong had no choice, no food, grass, tents, no weapons, and fled all night, it was a lack of people and horses, but he didn't dare to stop, so he could only walk forward, and then find a way!
Suddenly, Sun Zhong heard a cannon sound in front of him, and a biao iron horse blocked the way of himself and the others. And on his left is the mountains, and on the right is the great lake.
The lake is definitely not crossable, and the only thing that can be done is to climb up the mountain. If you don't have any preparations, and you won't be able to turn out for a while, sleeping in the mountains and forests at night is dangerous!
Moreover, food in the mountains and forests is very scarce, and those who escape into it will lose their skin if they do not die. Moreover, there are also faint flags fluttering in the mountains and forests, as if there is an ambush.
Therefore, for Sun Zhong, who has been pampered for a while, he does not dare to venture into the mountains and forests. You can only change the back team to the front team and retreat to see if there is a way out.
However, Sun Zhong was destined to be tragic, Li Tang did not give him a chance, Zhang Hongfan and Guo Kan crossed the city and surrounded them from both sides. Sun Zhong couldn't see that he could be good, and now he can only break through.
He rode a war horse and ran from the plains, but the mountainous roads in the north were not conducive to the walking of war horses, so Sun Zhong made up his mind and brought his soldiers to rush down Guo Kan in the west, trying to kill a bloody road from here.
Therefore, Sun Zhong was selfish, if he thought about his subordinate soldiers, he should have broken through from the north, after all, the infantry escaped into the mountains, and the cavalry was still not easy to pursue. However, he only thought about escaping by himself, and he was simply using his subordinate infantry as cannon fodder.
Guo Kan in the west, as soon as he saw that Sun Zhong was about to break through, he immediately slapped his horse to meet the attack. When Sun Zhong saw Guo Kan coming, he didn't love fighting, turned his horse's head, and continued to flee.
Guo Kan saw that there were many foot soldiers, and hindered his pursuit. So, he pulled out the Condor Bow from his back, buckled the Condor Arrow, chased the stars and the moon, and directly shot Sun Zhong in the head.
You must know that Guo Kan is seventy or eighty zhang away from Sun Zhong, and the range of the general bow and arrow is only thirty or fifty zhang, and after thirty or fifty zhang, there is basically no accurate head, so there is a saying that a hundred steps through Yang is a sharpshooter.
This Guo Kan can not only shoot seventy or eighty zhang away, but also has such power, which shows Guo Kan's archery skills. It's Lu Bu's halberd, and that's it!
The other generals under Sun Zhong, as soon as they saw Sun Zhong so far away, they were all knocked down by an arrow, and they were all frightened!
Since last night, the water has not entered, and I have been fleeing in a hurry, and my physical strength and energy have been consumed a lot. Now they are surrounded on several sides, and they are shouting to surrender and avoid death.
It seems that only by surrendering can you live! As for the glory and wealth, it must be enjoyed only by life!
Once someone takes the lead in surrendering, others surrender quickly.
At this point, Sun Zhong's 200,000 troops have all been killed or captured, and it is estimated that only a few hundred people can escape. Sun Zhong's 200,000 army actually had more than 200,000 people, and this was only the number of soldiers.
After the war, there were not many soldiers in Sun Zhong's army who died in battle or were mistakenly killed, and there were more than 10,000 people, and the others were captured by Li Tang.
In addition to the soldiers, there were about 400,000 people, strong men, and miscellaneous servants, and more than 50,000 women were robbed from various places.
