Chapter 221: Hunting down the rout

If the Xiliang soldiers had suffered such losses if the two sides had honestly attacked and defended and relied on the cover of the wall, the casualties of 1,500 or 600 people in the days before and after would have to be exchanged for at least 5,000 or 6,000 of the attacking enemy, and now the enemy's casualties might not be five or six hundred, which would not be too demoralizing. Obviously, the Xiliang soldiers did not expect that the three generals would be killed, wounded and captured, and the already low morale plummeted.

Fortunately, these people are veterans of the battlefield and did not forget to close the door.

However, Wei Xuan obviously would not miss such a great opportunity, when the gate of Yuyuan Pass was closed, the horn of the attack was also sounded, the catapult stopped firing, the infantry phalanx in front began to move, more than 70 cloud ladders were set up on the wall of Yuyuan Pass for the first time, and countless infantry climbed up along the cloud ladders. At the same time, the crane wing array that blocked the gate also branched out from the middle, and a heavy rushing cart pushed up. Catapults in the rear of the infantry phalanx were also moving slowly. Obviously, all of this is well planned in front of the station. If Niu Fu saw all this, he would definitely regret that he was out of the customs.

The Xiliang soldiers deserved to be elite, and after suffering such a heavy blow and the high-level generals were almost killed and wounded, there were still infantry who were not afraid of death who returned to the city wall and began to block the climb of the Wei Xuan army. It's just that their number is limited, and the city wall is also a mess, there is no formation and cooperation at all, and they have to face the projectile of the archers below, and soon forty or fifty people successfully climbed the city wall, and then more than a hundred, several hundred.

Just when the Xiliang soldiers in the pass continued to climb the city wall, and the cavalry gathered in the open space to prepare to deal with the enemy who re-entered the pass, the catapult outside began to fire again, this time the catapult advanced nearly fifty steps, and the stones launched were much smaller, and the stones successfully flew over the Yuyuan Pass and landed in the dense Xiliang army formation in the pass, which immediately caused chaos.

Outside the Yuyuan Pass, seeing that his infantry had gradually gained a foothold on the city wall, Wei Xuan finally stopped insisting, and the herald beside him gave an order, all the generals were not constrained to attack, but the cavalry generals gathered in front of the gate and waited to attack the Xiliang soldiers in the pass.

This order was tantamount to liberating all the generals except for Zhao Yun, Du Peng, Han Meng, and Xin Ai, and allowing them to attack through the city walls.

???????????????? As the order was delivered, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others immediately abandoned their war horses and found a ladder to quickly climb the city wall.

Before that, including Liu Ming, Yang Ling, Su Lie, Huo Jun and others, they had already rushed to the front and climbed the city wall one after another. Most of these people were promoted by Wei Xuan, and they were raised by Wei Xuan's grace for a year or two, and they were holding back their strength to prove themselves, and now they finally have a chance, and naturally they have become desperate San Lang one by one. With their support, the infantry coming up from behind was basically no threat.

Although there were at least 3,500 elite infantry in the Yuyuan Pass, Niu Fu was captured, two infantry captains were killed and one wounded, the incident was hasty, the command failed, and a large number of rolling logs and stones were scattered on the slope from the wall of the Yuyuan Pass to the pass, and it was only a matter of time before the defenders could not calmly climb the city wall to reinforce the loss of the city wall.

However, after a stick of incense, the city wall of Yuyuan Pass was completely lost, and now it is all the infantry of the Wei Xuan Army who can still stand on the city wall. More than a dozen military horses and military marquis saw the chaotic Xiliang soldiers in the pass, and did not immediately attack them, but gathered the elite elite, and about another stick of incense time, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others on the city wall rushed into the pass along the slope with more than 1,000 elites gathered!

Once again, the battle broke out on the slope, and the Xiliang soldiers who tried to stop it were quickly repelled by the fierce generals who rushed down from the city walls. The attackers were already unstoppable, and more and more soldiers of the Weixuan Army climbed the city wall and rushed down the slope into the pass.

Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others led people to kill the south gate of Yuyuan Pass for the first time, and the Xiliang soldiers guarding the gate gave up after a little resistance.

As the gate was opened, hundreds of cavalry rushed in to slash and slash the Xiliang infantry, who had also been suffocated outside the gate before.

Yang Ban, the only captain in the pass, was injured in the back when he was singled out with Zhou Cang, and fled into the Yuyuan Pass under the desperate escort of the cavalry, and now he saw Wei Xuan's soldiers and horses in the scarf pass, he didn't care about the military doctor who was bandaging himself, and let people carry him to open the north gate of the Yuyuan Pass and enter the cavalry camp, only with the cavalry he had a sense of security.

But it was his move that completely crushed the Xiliang soldiers in the pass, because more and more infantry entered the pass.

One thousand, one thousand five, two thousand, three thousand, when the Wei Xuan in the pass reached five thousand, the Xiliang army finally collapsed, and they opened the gate on the north side and rushed towards the outside of the pass.

However, the width of the gate is limited, and there are not many people who can pass through at the same time, and some clever guard archers climbed the slope up the wall north of the Yuyuan Pass and aimed at the backs of the fleeing Xiliang soldiers and released arrows, so a terrible wail sounded outside the pass again, and the scene was even more chaotic, and the Xiliang soldiers suffered countless casualties.

The more chaotic, the more frightened, all the Xiliang soldiers have given up resistance and tried their best to escape from the pass, only half an hour to attack and defend changed hands, nearly 10,000 or so Weixuan infantry and 2,000 cavalry occupied the Yuyuan Pass. In addition to the Xiliang soldiers who surrendered on their knees, there were only the corpses of the killed Xiliang soldiers.

Seeing the infantry being routed so quickly, they knew that it was impossible to recapture the pass, so they hurriedly mounted their horses and lined up in the north of the pass to prepare to escort the infantry to escape.

When Zhao Yun, Du Peng and others appeared at the north gate of Yuyuan Pass with cavalry, they found that there were at least fifteen or six hundred cavalry arrays blocking the front, and everyone was also impressed by the Xiliang cavalry. However, the more this is the case, the more these cavalry should be defeated as soon as possible to deal a greater blow to the Xiliang infantry, Zhao Yun and Du Peng glanced at each other, the team scattered left and right, assembled, and then rushed into the Xiliang cavalry phalanx in the north.

When Zhang Liao came to the city wall on the north side of Yuyuan Pass, he happened to see Zhao Yun and others leading a charge against the Xiliang cavalry, and he immediately turned to his own soldiers and said: "Pass the order, all the military marquis, Simas, personal guards, and scouts who have war horses will all go out of the pass to participate in the battle." ”

After speaking, he looked around and saw Wei Zheng who was still in the pass and was about to go to the wall, so he rushed directly into the pass, whispered a few words to Wei Zheng and rushed out on his war horse.

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, the three main captains belonged to him as a general, and he could only climb the city wall to check the enemy's situation and dispatch the pass.

Zhang Liao's order proved to be very important later, because although his own cavalry had the advantage at first, some of the Xiliang cavalry who fled the battlefield in a panic gradually returned. Zhang Liang asked all the people who had war horses to join the battle outside the north gate of Yuyuan Pass, and the number of people increased by five or six hundred at once, these people were either scouts or pro-soldiers, and their equestrian skills were good.

The most important thing is that with the addition of Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Liu Ming, Su Lie and other military marquis and Sima, the combat effectiveness of the Wei Xuanjun side has risen a lot.

The Xiliang cavalry is indeed brave, but Wei Xuan's cavalry is not vegetarian, and the combat effectiveness is directly off the charts with the addition of the generals.

Especially as the battle progressed, the generals without exception killed the enemy in front of them and rushed to the front of the team.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Wen Ping, Du Peng, Wei Tong, Han * Meng, Li Yan and other more than a dozen fierce generals who surpassed Niu Fu and all the generals of the Yuyuan Pass defenders took the lead, and basically there was no enemy on the opposite side. Huo Jun, Liu Ming, Xin Ai, Wang Qiang, Yang Ling, Su Lie and more than a dozen generals who were about the same level as Niu Fu or the cavalry captains followed, and this team pierced into the Xiliang cavalry phalanx that had no generals to suppress the formation and was loose like a sharp knife. The brave Xiliang cavalry lasted less than a stick of incense and was defeated!

The Xiliang cavalry, which had been gathering more and more, finally gave up resistance, abandoned their companions, and rushed towards the north. Zhao Yun and the others naturally took advantage of the victory to pursue, and soon the infantry who fled in a hurry were overtaken, but now Zhao Yun and the others did not have time to pay attention to them, their goal was to hunt the Xiliang cavalry and the infantry with war horses.

Huang Zhong took the lead, and his big knife was customized by Wei Xuan at the request of Pu Yuan, and he basically slipped it everywhere he went. This is less embarrassing than an ordinary broadsword stuck in a person's ribs, and it saves a lot of time than a spear stabbing and retracting. Soon Huang Zhong found Yang Ban with gauze wrapped around his back, this Xiliang Lieutenant who had fled the battlefield in a hurry after being slashed by Zhou Cang had been abandoned by his own soldiers, and could only barely support himself and gallop on horseback.

Thirty steps, twenty, fifteen steps, Huang Zhong began to adjust his pace, holding the knife in one hand.

At five steps, Huang Zhong raised his big knife and was ready to kill with one blow, when he saw Yang Ban in front of him suddenly turn to the right, and then turned around and shouted: "I surrender, I ???????????????? Surrender! ”

Huang Zhong smiled, thinking about it, he was frightened by Tai Shici and Guan Hai in front, and he was cut by Zhou Cang, and now he saw that it was Wei Xuanjun's fierce general who killed the cavalry captain with one move, where did he still have the courage to resist.

The cavalry pursued them for more than ten miles before turning around at Zhang Liao's insistence and coming back to intercept the fleeing Xiliang infantry. Those Xiliang infantry who originally thought they had escaped were soon caught up by the infantry of the Weixuan Army who came out of Yuyuan Pass, and it was another hard battle, and then they scattered and fled, and those who ran in the front thought they had escaped, but the enemy's cavalry returned, so they were again covered and killed.

Some clever infantry followed Zhao Yun and the others on the lake, snatching the horses of the Xiliang cavalry who were killed and thought that they could leave the battlefield faster, and now they were hunted one by one as cavalry.

The entire northern circle of the gate left the corpses of Xiliang soldiers. Maybe those Xiliang soldiers who escaped by luck are afraid that they will be frightened from now on, and the next time they encounter Wei Xuanjun on the battlefield, they are estimated to lose for a while without a fight.

If the Xiliang soldiers had suffered such losses if the two sides had honestly attacked and defended and relied on the cover of the wall, the casualties of 1,500 or 600 people in the days before and after would have to be exchanged for at least 5,000 or 6,000 of the attacking enemy, and now the enemy's casualties might not be five or six hundred, which would not be too demoralizing.
