Chapter 50: Defeat and Retreat to Nanyang (Seeking to Pursue Reading and Collecting)
Under the city of Guangzong, with the order of Huangfu Song, almost the entire Han army attacked.
Only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, led by Niu Fu and Guo Yan, did not attack.
Niu Fu and Guo Yan knew that this Liang Liang had done his best.
And now, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has joined the battlefield to level this battle.
However, they would never do so.
This Huangfu Song has only been in command of Guangzong for a few days, or their lord Dong Zhuo has only been gone for a few days.
If this war ends with Huangfu Song's victory, then Dong Zhuo may be escorted before he arrives in Luoyang, and this situation is what the two of them don't want to see.
Therefore, this battle must end with the defeat of the Han army, and Dong Zhuo will not only not be removed and demoted, but will even go to the battlefield of Guangzong.
"General, the general urges us to go to war."
The heralds under Huangfu Song came a few times, but Niu Fu and Guo Yan still didn't come out.
On the frontal battlefield, the Han army fought very hard.
After the battle of the previous few days, these Han troops were facing old soldiers, so they seemed very relaxed.
And now, the Yellow Turban Army has Zhang Liang's first charge, and the 30,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army are all young and middle-aged, and they are the Yellow Turban Army full of anger and hatred.
They walked in unison, never retreating, and muttered, "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." ”
At first, the two armies collided together, and they could have a draw, but as they fought, the atmosphere changed unusually abruptly.
"Qu Chang, our flank has been breached."
A Qu commander of the Han army listened to the report of his soldiers.
In the camp of the Han army, there were many of these reports.
For example, "Qu Chang, our positive camp has been broken." ”
"Captain, we are surrounded by the Yellow Turbans."
"Captain, the military vehicle battalion has been wiped out."
Only an hour after the two armies faced each other, the Han army was divided and surrounded, and then strangled.
Huangfu Song stood on the chariot and observed all this.
His heart was like a knife, and he even cursed something in his mouth.
"Pass on Niu Fu, Guo Yan will send troops to rescue."
Huangfu Song didn't know how many times he had issued these orders.
"As long as the two of them send troops to save the Chinese army, their sins can be unforgivable, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness."
Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment, and added another sentence.
He thought that Niu Fu and Guo Yan could be suppressed, or appeased.
However, I didn't expect that the second general could even disobey the military order for Dong Zhuo's sake.
Moreover, he was also a little remorseful, a little regretful, why didn't he finish the army and go to war again.
It was he who despised Zhang Liang of the opposing army, I had already studied the battle of Guangzong, and he thought that Zhang Liang was not so difficult to deal with, and Zhang Liang only had 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
Moreover, there were more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers he killed in two days, and he expected that Zhang Liang might recruit some old and weak women and children, but Huangfu Song didn't expect these old and weak women and children to be so strong.
"I didn't expect this Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army to be so difficult to deal with."
Huangfu Song looked at Zhang Liang opposite, and saw that Zhang Liang was like a killing god, using the spear in his hand to plunder the lives of the Han soldiers.
Zhang Liang is known as the general of Rengong because he is strong in martial arts.
Huangfu Song's order was transmitted to Niu Fu and Guo Yan again, Guo Yan climbed into the chariot and looked at the battlefield ahead, now the 5,000 former army of the Han army has been divided and strangled, and the Chinese army is also in danger of being surrounded.
"Then Huangfu Song is also in a hurry, and our goal can be regarded as achieved. Why don't you send troops here? ”
Niu Fu also followed, looked at the battlefield in front of him, and smiled.
"Wait another quarter of an hour."
Guo Yan thought about it a little, this Huangfu Song is also a ruthless character, if he has too many soldiers and horses in his hands, it will not be good for both of them.
Now Zhang Liang also ordered his soldiers to quickly close the encirclement, and he tried in vain to swallow Huangfu Song's Chinese army again.
A quarter of an hour later, Niu Fu and Guo Yan slowly sent out their troops, which made Huangfu Song want to kill the two alive when he saw the two, but after thinking about it, he ordered his subordinates and generals to sprint with Niu Fu and Guo Yan in order to reverse the situation.
As soon as Niu Fu and Guo Yan and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under their command appeared, they tore a hole for the Chinese army and stopped marching.
This made Huangfu Song anxious, and he stepped forward directly. "What are you going to do with the two of you? Do you want to be that traitor? ”
"General, now that the military vehicle battalion has been wiped out, and the striker is gone, only by saving the Chinese army can we make plans again."
Guo Yan turned his head and persuaded.
Huangfu Song's anger rose directly, and he couldn't wait to immediately draw his sword and kill the two of them, but he endured it.
If he did that, the Han army would be a mess, and at that time it would not only be as simple as defeat, but even die directly.
Moreover, he did not take refuge in any camp, once he died, those He Jin, Zhang Rang will not have anyone to intercede for him, and his family may be worried about their lives at that time.
"Withdrawal !!"
Huangfu Song thought about it for a moment, and immediately decided to withdraw his troops.
Zhang Liang, who was on the opposite side, saw Niu Fu and Guo Yan marching out of the army, and immediately gathered his formation, and could only eliminate the living force of the Han army as much as possible.
Zhang Liang is also not sure about this Niu Fu and Guo Yan, he is also afraid that the two of them will suddenly attack the army, and he may die directly.
When Guo Yan heard Huangfu Song speak like this, he waved his hand and directly led the army to tear apart Zhang Liang's encirclement, and the Chinese army of the Han army was able to escape.
Next, the Han army began to retreat, and Zhang Liang pursued, but Zhang Liang was also afraid that this was a strategy to lure the enemy, so he chased for a hundred miles, so he led the army to Guangzong to clean up the battlefield.
Now, in September and October, if the corpses are not disposed of and buried in a timely manner, the plague is extremely susceptible.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Liang handed over the work of cleaning the battlefield to a group of soldiers, and rushed back to Guangzong.
And Huangfu Song and his party were like lost dogs, and Huangfu Song understood why Dong Zhuo took over the command of Guangzong to exterminate the traitors, and the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong was not only exterminated, but became more and more powerful.
Because Dong Zhuo is not a thief, but a thief, the two of Niu Fu and Guo Yan seem to have discussed with that Zhang Liang, one advances and one retreats, and they cooperate tacitly.
"The whole army returns to Quyang."
Huangfu Song conveyed the latest military order.
He had already made up his mind that he could only wait for Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao's reinforcements to arrive before he could send troops again.
Otherwise, more than 14,000 soldiers and horses were lost in this battle, and Niu Fu and Guo Yan did not contribute to it.
It is a fool's dream to exterminate this enemy of Guangzong.
And the reinforcements of Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan that Huangfu Song was looking forward to, Yuan Shao had only set off for a day, and most of the soldiers under his command were foot soldiers, so the team was long.
And Ding Yuan and Han Shi are rushing to Pengcheng, and they are expected to reach Pengcheng in the evening.
And Zhang Liang, who returned to Guangzong City, received a message sent by the family clan in Guangzong City.
