Chapter 44: The Advantage Is in Me (Seeking Reading)
Although Dong Huang had long believed that this battle would be won, winning in this way definitely exceeded Dong Huang's expectations.
Dong Huang was in a daze when he heard the news, and once wondered if he was dreaming.
Even if it is 120,000 pigs, it will not be defeated by 800 people!
Could it be that Liu Biao on the opposite side was possessed by Sun 100,000.
In history, only Sun 100,000 people could be defeated by 800 people with 100,000 people.
It wasn't until he slapped Huang Wudie's long legs and Huang Diewu screamed in pain that Dong Huang was sure that he wasn't dreaming!
Huang Wudie was still coquettish, but Dian Wei's report came from outside: Jia Xu asked to see him and had waited in the lobby.
Dong Huang hurriedly put on his clothes and went to see Jia Xu.
Seeing that Dong Huang came to see him before he had time to get dressed, Jia Xu was slightly moved in his heart.
Since defecting to Dong Huang, Jia Xu has of course been moved by Dong Huang's perseverance in trust and attention, and also feels that Dong Huang is a worthy lord, and he is only the last layer of window paper away from completely dedicating his sincerity to Dong Huang.
"Lord, send troops to Yecheng as soon as possible!"
Jia Xu got straight to the point.
Jia Xu, who also woke up from his sleep, was also surprised that Zhang Liao easily broke Liu Biao's army of 1200,000, but he was obviously much more awake than Dong Huang, and directly pointed out the key.
Yecheng has been an important place for soldiers since ancient times, and it is also the core and essence of Jizhou.
Conquering Yecheng can not only shock the world, break the backbone of the Hebei Allied Army, and give Dong Zhuo a handover, but also get a large amount of material reserves, money and beauties, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
"Sending troops overnight?"
Dong Huang was a little undecided.
"You can order Zhang Ji's troops to pursue overnight and take advantage of the situation to capture Yecheng! Zhang Ji is greedy for merit, and he will be happy! The rest of the troops, it's not too late to attack again tomorrow. However, while attacking Yecheng, it is best to send troops to capture Liyang and open up Liyang and Baimadu to protect the back road. β
Jia Xu suggested.
"Zhang Ji? Posterior? β
Dong Huang was stunned.
Why did he send Zhang Ji, Dong Huang can generally figure it out, but why do he have to protect the back road?
Hanoi has already fallen into the hands of Dong Huang, even if the war is unfavorable, there are two ferries of Xiaopingjin and Mengjin that can cross the Yellow River and return to Luoyang, where is there a need for a retreat?
But Dong Huang knew that Jia Xu's wisdom would definitely not be untargeted, so he couldn't help but think: Since Jia Xu thought that the back road of Hanoi might be dangerous after the army left, who could threaten Hanoi? After excluding Liu Biao and Dong Zhuo, only Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army were left in the vicinity.
Zhang Yan is a thief, and Lu Bu is a friendly army, so if you eliminate a wrong answer, only Lu Bu may threaten Hanoi!
"Lu Fengxian has a problem?"
Dong Huang gritted his teeth.
Dong Huang, who knows Lu Bu very well, would rather believe in a thief than believe in Lu Bu!
That's the man who is called the slave of the third surname! The one who equates with betrayal in the history books!
"He did not follow the order of the Taishi to attack Shangdang, but after annexing the Baibo Army, he attacked and merged the state on his own, and his ambition was not pure! As for the Montenegrin army, they will only pick up cheap, and they will not come to the major general until they have to! β
Jia Xu affirmed Dong Huang's speculation.
"I want to see Lu Fengxian's ability!"
Dong Huang was furious.
Now he is not afraid of a three-surnamed house slave.
Dong Huang decided to leave Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Jiang Qin and others to lead his headquarters and 50,000 new troops to defend Hanoi and monitor LΓΌ Bu; ordered Xu Huang to lead the headquarters and 20,000 new annexed troops to attack Liyang; He himself personally led the men and horses of his headquarters to attack Yecheng and attack Jizhou after Zhang Ji's department!
As Jia Xu said, there has been no decent military exploits, and Zhang Ji's department, which has the least rewards from top to bottom, heard Dong Huang's order to "chase down the rebels and seize Yecheng", one by one, like hungry wolves that have seen blood, screaming to fight.
What it means to enter Yecheng first, they know very well! Grab one or two rich people at random, but it's enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime!
Seeing that the army's heart was available, Zhang Ji immediately mobilized troops and horses to attack, one person and three horses, galloped in the direction of Yecheng, and cut down thousands of Liu Biaojun deserters who blocked the way along the way, and bit Liu Pan's department to death, and it was about to completely defeat Liu Pan's department.
However, what Zhang Ji didn't expect was that just as they were chasing Liu Pan's troops into a small forest, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out in the woods!
The unlucky Zhang Ji was hit by a stray arrow and died tragically on the spot.
Zhang Ji's subordinates lost their main general, and finally retreated in defeat under the organization of Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu.
Of course, Liu Pan, who was frightened, did not dare to pursue, so he could only join forces with the troops who had set up an ambush and quickly retreated.
As for why there was an ambush army here, it was because the judge who was guarding Yecheng saw the flames in the direction of Chaoge, knew that things were not good, and specially led the troops to come to the rescue, set up an ambush along the way, and sent Zhang Ji away by mistake.
After learning the truth about the front line, the trial could only beat his chest and hurriedly return to arrange the city defense.
But before the trial could be properly arranged, in the afternoon of the same day, Dong Huang's banner had already come to the city of Yecheng, and tens of thousands of cavalry were inviting battles everywhere under the city, showing off their might!
Seeing Dong Huang's army's morale high and murderous elite soldiers, Yecheng, who was in turmoil because of the news of Liu Biao's fiasco, suddenly became even more chaotic!
The dignitaries wanted to run, the soldiers did not have the courage to fight, and the poor people cried for their fathers and mothers. In Yecheng, a scene of the end of the dynasty.
"Damn it!"
Liu Pan slapped his thigh hatefully.
"Dong thief is so fast!"
Liu Pan looked at the morale-devoid army, worried in his heart, and couldn't help but think: "Although there are still more than 30,000 troops in Yecheng now, the morale is low and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, in case Dong Huang's army attacks, with the morale in the city, I am afraid it will collapse immediately!" It seems that the only solution for now is ......"
Liu Pan suddenly stood up and said to the judge: "Judge Gong, now our army is frightened, and the soldiers will have no will to fight, I am afraid that they will not be able to defend Yecheng!" β
"What does General Liu mean?"
The judge curled up his beard.
It is very clear that as the number one general under Liu Biao, and he is his own nephew, it is impossible for Liu Pan to surrender, and when he says this, he must have some intention to resist the enemy.
"I am willing to personally lead the troops out to challenge, break the enemy, seize the sharpness of the enemy, and strengthen the morale of our army!"
Liu Pan offered his own clever plan.
To be able to come up with this strategy, Liu Pan really used his brain!
Liu Pan knew very well that if Yecheng was surrounded by Dong Huang's army like this, with Yecheng's military morale, there was a chance that he would suffer, not to mention anything else, those families who were afraid of being slaughtered or wanted to speculate would probably have to backstab the city!
In the face of this sinister and cheating situation, the only clever plan that Liu Pan could think of was to take the initiative to attack while Dong Huang's vanguard was exhausted and unstable, whether it was a heads-up or a surprise battle, as long as he could achieve a small victory, he could show his strength to the Yecheng family, let the pro-Liu faction contribute more, let people with ulterior motives temporarily calm down, and at the same time greatly dampen the spirit of Dong Huang's army and win time for the maintenance of the city defense.
What a clever plan to kill multiple birds with one stone!
The more Liu Pan thinks about it, the more complacent he becomes!
Fight against the tired soldiers of Dong Huang's army with Yecheng's elite soldiers, and fight against Dong Huang's army's native chickens and dogs with their own bravery!
The advantage is mine!
