Xiahou Yuan lost this battle unjustly, who would have thought that there would be enemies behind his march all the way?

Yu Ban was still looking at Gu Cheng from the north, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Liao ran behind him? Are you kidding.

But Zhang Liao did make a big joke on Xiahou Yuan, and in the middle of the night, after the battle, the Yanzhou army returned to the camp where the baggage was placed from the official road in groups, and saw from a distance that the robes under the torches in the camp were resting crookedly, and some people were warming up around the bonfire, and they were happy. This made these Yanzhou troops who sent troops back feel envious, they fought to the death with the Wuhuan soldiers in front, although the battle situation was favorable to their own side, but in the end they still took risks, these lucky soldiers stayed in the safe camp to rest, it was really good luck.

It was only the cavalry who first greeted and entered the camp that they found that none of these left-behind soldiers knew each other, and before they had time to make a doubt, a strong crossbow burst and shot him off the horse, and the last sound he heard was a frightened shout from behind him, and gradually the godless eyes reflected the Yanzhou soldiers who stayed behind shouted and ripped off their military uniforms and charged shirtless...... After them, the golden drum came out of the official road in the forest, and a group of neat Yan troops held strong crossbows to press forward, who could not understand that their camp had been occupied by the Yan army?

The sound of the golden drum sounded from behind the formation, and immediately a piece of crossbow arrows shot out, knocking down the soldiers in front of Xiahou Yuan in an instant.

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan was sleepy and lacking horses on the march, and because he took the old road back only to retrieve the baggage, he was lax in his heart, and he fell behind the battle, and was not subjected to the dense bow and crossbow salvo of the front army. At this time, Xiahou Yuan's first reaction was not to gallop to the front of the attack, but to look around the mountains and forests left and right for a moment, and immediately clamped the horse so that the mount stood up, and ordered loudly: "The front army has changed to the rear formation, retreat the original way, quickly!" ”

Even the cicadas are silent on the summer night here, there must be an army in the forest, where does he dare to stay more!

Almost as soon as Xiahou Yuan's voice fell, the sound of golden drums immediately came out in the dense forests on both sides, followed by a huge shouting and killing sound. Those northern powerhouses shot out from a distance of thirty or fifty paces, and their bolts carried so much force that they could even pierce through the bones after piercing the armor.

Zhang Liao mobilized all his subordinates - more than 2,000 strong crossbows were arranged in the dense forest to form the first strike force, and their first strike inflicted heavy losses on the Yanzhou soldiers of Xiahou Yuan's army. The Yanzhou soldiers stood too scattered, and because they relaxed their vigilance and marched in a long line on the official road, they became natural targets, and they were not in a military formation in the blink of an eye.

And in the short time that the crossbowmen were wound, the longbowmen beside them fired their arrows again, and almost without interruption poured a rain of arrows on the official road that spread for three miles, and when the crossbowmen were ready to wind up, they no longer fired a salvo.

The battle had only lasted for more than ten breaths, and it seemed that it had just begun, but Zhang Liao had already ordered the crossbowmen to stop firing volleys, and the sound of the golden drum suddenly reversed.

This time, the military order was to shoot accurately and prepare the infantry to charge.

Because there are not many Yanzhou soldiers still standing on the official road.

Xiahou Yuan couldn't see the situation of the front song, the middle song, and the left song, he could only see the situation of his soldiers in the front and back songs...... The situation was really not good, the volleys and indiscriminate fire of the ambush soldiers caused the two soldiers and horses to lose three or two, and the soldiers who could still stand on the official road were less than 500, and more than half of them were wounded in the blink of an eye. The situation of these two songs is undoubtedly better, and the other songs will not be better than them. And the sound of charging and shouting in the distance ahead has already sounded, and it is clear that the first song to bear the brunt is even worse.

This is not a narrow encounter, this is the enemy waiting for work, and he has no other way but to lead the army to escape. As long as the retreat allows more of the soldiers to survive, otherwise the entire army will only be buried here.

Zhang Liao's ambush in the forest far exceeded his entire force. What's more, even if he doesn't leave, can his subordinates, who have been hit and killed more than half of them, still be able to fight with the warriors of the Yan Army?

They had long been frightened.

Xiahou Yuan, why not?

He has always been jealous of Zhang Liao's troops. When he didn't touch the edge of the enemy army of Zhang Liao's army, he was always vigilant that he entered Zhang Liao's pocket, and when Zhang Liao's headquarters appeared, it must be a terrible attack like thunder.

Now, the offensive is coming!

When Xiahou Yuan retreated, for Zhang Liao, the battle, which lasted only a moment, was over, and the foot soldiers with the halberd Changge rushed to the official road, leaving them to clean up the battlefield and replenish the swords to those soldiers who were not killed by arrows.

The most dangerous battle of trapped beasts does not exist, even if the Yanzhou soldiers who see the situation is not good, even if they want to fight to the death, but the main generals have retreated, and no one has the confidence to fight to the end, those who can escape will flee, and those who can't escape can only drop their blades and surrender.

Zhang Liao's long knife walked past the battlefield, and the whistling cavalry pursued westward from both sides of him, rushed out of a short distance and rode back on horseback, and the leader of Bei Yan asked: "General Zhang, how far am I pursuing?" ”

"Three or five miles is enough, don't fall in love with the war, shoot away the enemy army and fortify it on the spot and wait for my news, wait for Zhang to clean up the battlefield, send a message to you and withdraw with me, this place is not suitable for a long time." As Zhang Liao spoke, he watched the cavalry of Zhang Nian's army chase westward through the battlefield, and then most of the foot soldiers and crossbowmen in the forest came out to clean up the battlefield, and there were wails everywhere crying for mercy and mending knives.

The captives who had surrendered were released on the spot by Zhang Liao after leaving behind their armour, and he did not have time to continue his journey with the hundreds of wounded or unwounded soldiers. In the next half an hour, Zhang Liao supervised his subordinates to collect the armor and baggage, and the armor was used to replenish their damaged ordnance, the key was that the crossbow arrows and arrow clusters that were not damaged were shot out, and there was no baggage supply from the north, making it difficult for them to replenish in this regard, and the bad one would be one less.

Next, the remaining armor was dug and buried in the forest, and they could not take it away and did not want to let the Cao army that arrived later use it to arm the soldiers, so they could only abandon them all, and then put away the baggage that had been counted long ago, and sent someone to call the Beiyan army division far to the west, and continued to march all the way to the east.
