Zhang Fei stood on the slope of Ma Mountain, quietly looking at the battlefield in front of him, feeling uneasy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Is Yuan Shao just on the other side? If Yuan Shao was on the other side, seeing that the Northern Xinjiang Army was so strong, and thinking that more Northern Xinjiang Army was coming, would he turn around and run away?

Although Lu Bu has not been in contact so far, with Lu Bu's combat experience, he will definitely stop the rebels fleeing south in time. Zhang He is killing in the area of Dangyin, and if Yuan Shao flees west, he will definitely be hit hard by the iron cavalry.

But the problem now is that if Yuan Shao escapes immediately, his main force will be pinned down by the rebels in the area of Sanshang Pavilion, and he will lose the best opportunity to pursue Yuan Shao.

"General, General Li Jing's army has crossed the Huanshui River, and he asked to rush to Citing to participate in the battle." The adjutant general's voice suddenly came into Zhang Fei's ears.

Zhang Fei's expression was cold, and he thought silently for a while, then he looked up at the sky, and resolutely ordered: "Order Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others to encircle and annihilate the rebels of Sanshangting and start attacking immediately." ”

"General......" The deputy general was stunned for a moment, "Sun Guan's army has not arrived yet, are we ......?"

He originally wanted to say that we ate the bait, will Yuan Shao's fish still take the bait? But seeing Zhang Fei's resolute expression, he swallowed this sentence back.

"Tell them that they will attack overnight and that the fighting must end tomorrow morning." Zhang Fei pointed ahead, "Tomorrow morning, the armies from all walks of life will launch a siege and chase in the direction of Fanyang from the two flanks of Citing, be sure to trap Yuan Shao and not let him have any chance to escape." ”

The adjutant general agreed, and the horse galloped away.

"Tell Yu Poison and give me a hard beating." Zhang Fei waved his hand vigorously at the herald beside him, "Order Sima Ju to take the initiative to launch an attack before dusk and send the rebels back ten miles to me." ”

Citing is fighting frantically here, which may give Yuan Shao an illusion, and will make him think that the rebels trapped in the area of Sanshang Pavilion have broken through in sight, which may be able to hold Yuan Shao back.

Wei County, Fanyang City.

Yuan Shao fled back to Fanyang City without danger.

Seeing Yuan Shao return safely, Guo Tu couldn't help but let out a long breath and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, there is no need for you to go to Weicheng in person. This time it's a life of death. ”

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly: "If you should give up, you have to give up, but I'm too stingy, I can't be reluctant, and I can't let it go, and I almost missed the big thing." ”

"Lord, withdraw." Gao Rou persuaded, "After the Northern Xinjiang Army surrounds Cao Cao, we can still levy 100,000 troops to pursue it south, and it is better for us to withdraw to Hanoi as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Shao did not hesitate at all this time, and immediately ordered Wen Chou, asking him to hold out until the night, and then quietly retreated in the direction of Neihuang. Ordered Han Qiong to immediately turn around and retreat sharply. As for Gao Ran and Koji who were trapped in the Three Merchants Pavilion, they had to give up.

Wei County, sixty miles southwest of Wei City, Sanshang Pavilion.

Under the command of Zhao Yun, the Northern Xinjiang Army gathered more than 50,000 infantry cavalry troops to besiege the rebels.

In the afternoon, the Northern Xinjiang Army besieged the rebel camp from three directions and launched a fierce attack on the rebels. The two sides fought fiercely until dusk, and the iron cavalry led by Yue Yun took the lead in breaking through the rebels' defenses and tearing apart the enemy's camp.

The flames burned the Three Merchant Pavilions, and the darkness was stained red with blood.

Koji Yi wanted to escape at night, but he was very unfortunate to meet Yue Yun, who was seriously injured by Yue Yun's hammer and was captured after falling off the horse.

And Gao Lan, the main general of Yuan Shaojun, also had a bad fate, and happened to meet Zhao Yun. In just one shot, Gao Ran was captured alive by Zhao Yun from the horse

The two main generals were captured one after another, and Yuan Shaojun completely lost his command. The battle lasted until the early hours of the morning, and the 25,000 Yuan Shao army was annihilated.

Yanzhou East County, forty miles south of Guanting, Gu Longju.

Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei withdrew to Gulongju. They did not wait for Cao Ren's rear army, and the scouts reported that Cao Ren's army was surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army at Baishan Pavilion.

Cao Cao gave up the rescue and reluctantly ordered the army to retreat to Yangping and Dongwuyang, a hundred miles away, overnight, and prepare to cross the Yellow River south and withdraw to the Central Plains.

In the process of retreating, Cao Cao lost nearly 50,000 people, and he, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei took the remaining more than 30,000 remnants of the defeated generals and fled in panic.

Xiahou Yuan stayed in Gulongju with an army of 10,000, and while he urgently told Lejin in Gancheng to retreat immediately, he anxiously waited for news from Cao Ren and Cao Hong. If he hadn't seen the two brothers after daybreak, he would have to leave.

Wei County, Pavilion Tao City.

The huge map was spread on the ground, and Yan Zhi was standing on it, reporting the latest battle situation to Guan Yu and Xu Mao.

"The rebels in Wei City and the rebels in the direction of Daliuxu suddenly retreated south when we were about to complete the siege, which caused us great passivity. The plan set by the lord to encircle the rebels on the line of Guantao and Weicheng and gather heavy troops to surround Yuan Shao on the line of Neihuang and Fanyang immediately failed, and the armies of all roads had to launch a pursuit. According to the general's orders, the main goal of the various armies at this time was to kill and wound a large number of enemy troops and annihilate as many rebel forces as possible. ”

"On the battlefield on the front line of Weicheng and Fanyang, because General Zhao Yun's iron cavalry inflicted heavy losses on the fleeing rebels in Hongting, General Zhang Fei bought time to adjust his forces in time, thus successfully blocking the fleeing rebels and surrounding them in Sanshangting. Yesterday, generals Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and other generals gathered more than 50,000 troops to annihilate the rebel army. ”

"However, Yuan Shao's movements were also very fast, when we surrounded and annihilated the rebels, he led Wen Chou and Gao Gan's soldiers and horses to quickly retreat to Neihuang, and now he has joined Han Qiong's army and is fleeing in the direction of Hanoi Dangyin City. Generals Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and other generals are leading the army in pursuit. ”

"What about Lu Bu's army?" Guan Yu asked.

Due to the retreat of the rebels to the south, General Lü Bu failed to occupy the cities of Neihuang and Fanyang before the rebels, so he had to lead his army to attack Changshoujin and Puyangjin. After General Lü Bu's attack was changed, the army moved south to the banks of the Yellow River, and its whereabouts were uncertain, so we were unable to get in touch with him. Yan Zhi explained, "General Lü Bu attacked Changshoujin and Puyangjin, cutting off the rebels' way to retreat south, leaving the rebels with only one way to flee to Hanoi, which is probably the main reason why Yuan Shao gave up rescuing the rebels who were besieged Sanshangting and led his army to flee overnight." ”

"In the early hours of this morning, General Lu Bu's messenger made contact with General Zhang Fei. After attacking Changshoujin and Puyangjin, General Lü Bu quietly rushed to Xiaoyangju to ambush the retreating rebels, but he suddenly received news that Xu You and Yuan Zhong led their troops across the river to the north and stationed in Liyang. Xu You was obviously ordered by Yuan Shao to go north to meet the retreat of the rebels, so General Lü Bu immediately led his army south to Liyang, attacked Xu You, and stopped the rebels from moving north. ”

"Where is the army that is less than silver? Did you rush to the city of the Dangyin City? Xu Maogong asked.

"General Xian Yuyin's iron cavalry has arrived in Dangyin City, but he only has 6,000 people, and he can't stop Yuan Shao's westward retreat army of about 60,000 people." Yan Zhi hesitated for a moment and continued, "If he can boldly intersperse between Dangyin and Inner Yellow City, he may be able to cooperate with General Zhang Fei's pursuing army to annihilate some of the rebels again. ”

On the battlefield on the front line of Guanting, because Li Zhong, Yan Rou and other generals blocked strongly, the retreat of the rebels was slow, which bought time for the troops of Chang Yuchun, Xu Huang, Xian Yufu and others to rush to the front line of Guanting.

However, due to the great losses of Li Zhong's army that blocked in the direction of Guanting, in order to reduce the losses, we ordered Li Zhong to lead the army to withdraw from Guanting and rush to the front line of Gulongju to meet the armies of Xu Huang, Xian Yufu, and Yan Rou to block the rebels again, but what we didn't expect was that Cao Cao had already prepared and let Xiahou Yuan capture Gulongju first, but the blocking failed, and Cao Cao was able to escape from the encirclement.

Although the rebels broke out of the encirclement, we inflicted heavy losses on Cao Cao and achieved our goal of letting Liu Biao and Liu Bei go.

Chang Yuchun, Gao Changgong, Gao Shun and other generals first annihilated 20,000 Gongsun troops in Fengting, and then Xu Huang, Xian Yufu, Li Zhong, and Yan Rou surrounded and annihilated 20,000 Cao Cao's troops in Baishan Pavilion, and Cao Cao's strength was severely damaged.

Now, Chang Yuchun is commanding a large army to pursue the rebels, and it is estimated that he will soon be killed on the bank of the Yellow River.

Yan Zhi looked up at Guan Yu and Xu Maogong, and said very excitedly: "We won this battle. ”

………………

Wei County, sixty miles northwest of Inner Huangcheng, Xiaowuting.

After Xian Yuyin was ordered to rush to the vicinity of Dangyin City, he found a serious problem. Montenegro belongs to the branch of Taihang Mountain, where the mountains are steep, which is not conducive to the iron cavalry to rush and kill.

Xian Yuyin did not hesitate, and immediately led the army to retreat a hundred miles, lurking in Xiaowu Ting, preparing to kill the rebels who fled to Hanoi.

After Yuan Shao met with Han Qiong, he led an army of 30,000 to withdraw to Hanoi first.

When this army passed through Xiaowuting, Xian Yuyin wanted to set up an ambush, but the scout reported that another rebel army had come fifty miles behind.

Considering the fast retreat of the rebels, Zhang Fei's army did not keep up in time, Xian Yuyin was worried that the ambush would not succeed and would be surrounded by the rebels, so he immediately decided to ambush the rebels' rear army.

Wen Chou was not only blocked in the direction of Citing, but was also repelled by the fierce offensive of the Northern Xinjiang Army for ten miles, and just when he was panicking, he received an order from Yuan Shao. Knowing that Yuan Shao was safe and sound, Wen Chou was overjoyed and hurriedly retreated overnight.

Zhang Fei's attention at that time was focused on the battlefield of Sanshangting, although the scout rebels showed signs of retreating, but the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was encircling and annihilating the rebels in the direction of Sanshangting at this time, and Zhang Fei could not recruit enough troops even if he had the heart to pursue.

Wen Chou led the army to travel 100 miles in one night, and distanced himself from the Northern Xinjiang Army.

However, Wen Chou thinks that this distance is very dangerous, the speed of the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry is too terrifying, this distance of 100 miles, they can catch up in half a day.

Wen Chou ordered the army not to rest, gritted its teeth, and continued to retreat west. After Neihuang City, the army can reach Dangyin City in Hanoi County after walking another hundred and fifty miles, and it will be really safe when it arrives there.

However, he was ambushed by the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry in the direction of Xiaowuting. (To be continued.) )
