Chapter 981: The animal is fierce in Dangshan

Liu Qi is a good boy, so he almost became a virtuous nephew in Liu Bei's mouth. But Wen Ping is an old ginger, and it is the piece of ginger that is absolutely loyal to Liu Biao, so Liu Bei's final conspiracy did not succeed.

Soon after the occupation of Jiangxia, Liu Qi, on behalf of 100,000 soldiers and 6 million people in Jingzhou, handed a petition to the king of Pingxi expressing his willingness to return. In fact, regardless of whether Liu Qi handed over this statement or not, Jingzhou had fallen into the hands of Zhao Xing except for Jiangxia County. But Liu Qi took the initiative to put in this statement, which is an attitude towards the people of the world, which is equivalent to slapping Liu Bei hard.

Now Gan Ning has led 40,000 Yizhou soldiers down the Yangtze River and arrived at Jiangling, where he garrisoned the army. As long as the Yangzhou direction makes any moves towards Jiangxia, Gan Ning will immediately lead the army east to support. But then again, now that Yangzhou is being attacked by Jiangdong, it is difficult to draw out large-scale troops to counterattack Jiangxia, unless Zhuge Kongming really has the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers.

The three-way army of Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Tai Shici, who besieged Xuchang, received Zhao Xing's edict and only besieged Xuchang without attacking, seemingly waiting for Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the city to take the initiative to open conditions and send the emperor back to Luoyang.

If Cao Cao and Liu Bei personally sent the emperor back to Luoyang, it would be equivalent to snorting in front of the whole world, and they would no longer be qualified to compete with Zhao Xing for anything in the future. After all, the emperor was escorted to Xuchang, but now they are coerced to return to Luoyang again, which is equivalent to a reversal, more like a traitor seeking glory.

Although Zhao Xing promised in front of the people of the world that he would not exterminate the descendants of the royal family surnamed Liu, if the emperor was robbed of his position, he would be happier in the future no matter what, and it would be nothing more than eating and waiting for death.

I don't know where Zhao Xing's confidence comes from, so he is so sure that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will eventually slap their faces in front of the people of the world, instead of lighting a fire in Xuchang City in front of the people of the world, and accompany the emperor to gain eternal life in the flames.

In order to let Cao Cao and Liu Bei break off the last few traces of thought, Zhang Liao finally launched a fierce attack on Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan's two troops near Dangshan.

Now Zhang Liao has five troops in his hands: the Dragoon Army, the Xiong Zhen Army, the Flying Tiger Army, the Blue Wolf Army and the Qingyu Army, totaling more than 130,000 people. What's even more eye-catching is that since the end of the Gaonu War, the two armies of the Flying Tiger and the Wolf, which had not fought together for many years, appeared in Yuzhou at the same time this time.

The current Zhang Liao, don't mention the beauty and the beauty in his heart. He organized the Xiong Zhen Army and the Blue Wolf Army into one part, which he personally led to deal with Xiahou Yuan's troops, and organized the Flying Tiger Army and the Dragoon Army into another part, led by Dian Wei, with Pang Tong as the military advisor, and concentrated on dealing with Zhang Fei's troops. As for the Qingyu Army, which has never appeared, it is only known to a very small number of people, and it is still unknown where it is hidden.

The name of Dangshan comes from the word Dang of Mangdang Mountain. During the Yanhuang period, the Dangtang family of Mangdang Mountain in Henan Province was stationed in the Dangshan area of Yuzhou, and was famous for digging the grained stone, so Dangshan became a famous quarry in ancient times, and the Yellow Emperor had visited Dangshan. During the period of Emperor Wu, there was a scholar Dang Lu Ci, who was a student of Shen Pei, because Dang Lu Ci's knowledge was broad and profound, he won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was named the Taishou of the East China Sea, and the Dang Tang clan moved to the East China Sea with Dang Lu Ci.

Dangshan is located at the junction of Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and it is needless to say that it has important geographical advantages. Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei were originally all the way to the north of Dangshan and all the way to the south of Dangshan, stuck in the road of Zhang Liao's westward advance, but now they were divided and annihilated by Zhang Liao, who had increased his troops sharply.

Zhang Liao's marshalling of the two troops is also very interesting, letting the dragon and tiger all the way (the dragon cavalry army and the flying tiger army), and letting the bear wolf go all the way (the bear army and the blue wolf army), which really has a bit of animal ferocity in it. Because the cavalry in his hand was very abundant, this time the dragoon army assumed the role of infantry with peace of mind, and specially followed behind the veteran cavalry of the Flying Tiger Army to bully Zhang Fei. And the overall combat power of the bear wolf was not inferior to that of the dragon and tiger, the wolf attacked Xiahou Yuan's troops on both flanks, and the bear launched a fatal blow in the middle.

Zhang Liao played against Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei played against Meng Zhang Fei, followed by Pang Tong and Xu Shu, so this battle near Dangshan has attracted the attention of many people from now on.

Xiahou Yuan still has 50,000 soldiers and horses, including 5,000 tigers and leopards. In terms of troops, there is not much difference with the 60,000-strong bear and wolf formation, but if it is a competition in combat power and equipment, it will fall straight down. What's even worse is that the news of the siege of Xuchang is no longer a secret, it can be said that the whole world knows, which is a serious blow to the morale of the Xiahou army. With no backup, low morale, and an absolute disadvantage in all aspects, against the Jin infantry and cavalry coalition army that is now full of morale, the outcome of the battle was predestined before it began.

In desperation, Xiahou Yuan really sent a heads-up invitation to Zhang Liao like Xiahou Yuan who died, hoping to boost the morale of the army. Zhang Liao, who had been holding back for a long time, accepted Xiahou Yuan's invitation without hesitation, fought with Xiahou Yuan for one hundred and fifty rounds in front of the two armies, and finally slapped Xiahou Yuan off his horse with the Yellow Dragon Hook and Sickle, and captured him alive before the battle.

Subsequently, the overwhelming officers and soldiers of the Jin State rushed into Xiahou Yuan's army and surrounded it with the momentum of the wind and clouds.

The other army led by Dian Wei was like a dragon and a tiger, and after engaging with Zhang Fei's army of 40,000, it also fought smoothly at the beginning, and the situation was very similar to that of the other army. In the middle of the year, Zhang Fei was angry and also proposed to fight with Dian Wei, and Dian Wei, who had never been afraid of anyone, naturally took it.

Zhang Fei was really as fierce as when he fought with Zhao Xing on the bank of the Yellow River, and he did not fall behind in the hand-to-hand combat with Dian Wei. Zhang Fei's war horse was more flexible than the bison ridden by Dian Wei, but Dian Wei's bison had a longer endurance than the war horse, so the two fierce generals fought for two hundred rounds, until Zhang Fei's war horse was exhausted to death, it was not over.

Dian Wei, like Zhao Xing, still did not take advantage of Zhang Fei's death to fall into the well again, but let Zhang Fei return to his own formation. They are all top-level generals, although everyone is not in the same camp, everyone will have the mentality of sympathy.

After Zhang Fei returned to his own position, he immediately led the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers to turn south and go straight to Shouchun, which was equivalent to letting go of Dangshan.

When he knew that continuing to fight was just a senseless sacrifice, Zhang Fei resolutely chose to give up and retreat, maybe he had already seen the general trend of the world in his heart, right?

The Battle of Dangshan ended here, and the Qingyu Army, which Zhang Liao had been hiding in the snow, had not even fished out until now, which made the soldiers of the Qingyu Army extremely depressed.
