"Whoosh!"

A bloody human head was thrown by Gan Ning and fell directly in front of Huang Zu, Huang Zu fixed his eyes and saw that this human head was his vanguard general Han Xi.

Immediately afterward, dense arrows flew out of the woods on both sides of the official road like a storm, and Huang Zu's army immediately suffered a large number of casualties.

Huang Zu encountered an ambush, only a little panicked, and then regained his composure, and commanded the soldiers to fight with him, after all, he had tens of thousands of troops, and he saw that the enemy army was only more than 10,000 people, and he didn't look at it at all.

However, Huang Zu soon realized that there was a fatal mistake in his thinking, that is, he ignored the combat effectiveness of the enemy army.

Although the enemy army only had more than 10,000 people, they were very brave in battle, with sharp weapons and excellent battle armor, and the soldiers were like fierce tigers, directly pounced on Huang Zu's army.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Gan Ning were all in the lead, taking the lead, killing dozens of people in a row, and where they passed, the soldiers under Huang Zu were unable to resist, plus they were followed by a group of fierce soldiers like tigers, and it was a sudden attack, and Huang Zu's army suddenly fell into chaos.

Although Huang Zu had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the official roads in this area were relatively narrow, and the soldiers and horses stretched for several miles, so if the front was attacked, even if the back came to help, it would take a little time.

However, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not give Huang Zu any respite, and the two of them led all the cavalry under their subordinates to rush to the front and cut off Huang Zu's army. After that, Zhang Liao led the crowd forward to cover the kill, and attacked Gan Ning, Su Fei, Zhang Wu, Chen Sun and others back and forth, while Gao Shun led the ace trap camp in the army to block the narrow official road. Archers were scattered on both wings. began to shoot non-stop at Yuan Jun who came from behind. And the cavalry clashed back and forth, no matter how many reinforcements there were, they could not break through Gao Shun's defense, but let Gao Shun flee in the desert.

The situation got out of control, Huang Zu looked around, and then he knew that he was in a heavy siege, the reinforcements behind him could not come, and his existing strength was not enough to compete with the enemy army. Gan Ning was unstoppable in front, Zhang Liao was eyeing him in the back, and his subordinate generals were already frightened, making people panic and disheartened.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Huang Zu immediately made a decision, immediately turned the horse's head, and ordered.

However, at this time, it was too late to retreat, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning had already surrounded Huang Zu and others, and the ferocious offensive made Huang Zu and others unable to deal with it.

Time. The more than 1,000 soldiers and horses around Huang Zu fell into chaos, fleeing for their lives. Those who surrendered surrendered, and those who followed Huang Zu only had a hundred relatives around him.

Suddenly, a soldier beside Huang Zu tore off his military uniform with a "snort", revealing the orange-red military uniform under the military uniform, without saying a word, he raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed at Huang Zu who was riding on horseback, it was Lu Meng.

Huang Zu was taken aback, he didn't have any defense, he would never have dreamed that an enemy soldier would actually come to his side wearing the uniform of his own army.

The cold and shining steel knife slashed towards him, Huang Zu subconsciously raised his left arm to resist, how do you know that the blade is too sharp, and the force is also very fierce, as soon as the knife goes down, Huang Zu's left hand is cut off, blood gushes out, and the heart-rending pain spreads all over Huang Zu's body, making him feel painful.

"Ah......" Huang Zu screamed miserably, his face was sweating like rain, and he shouted to the soldiers around him with a hideous face, "Kill him!" Kill him......"

Lu Meng took out the knife quickly, one knife failed to kill Huang Zu, the second knife followed like a shadow, and Huang Zu, who was shouting, was cut off by him Lu Meng with a knife.

Huang Zu's subordinates were all surprised, and hurriedly waved their blades to cut at Lu Meng, Lu Meng relied on his agile skills to drill under the belly of Huang Zu's horse, stretched out his long arms, picked up Huang Zu's head, waved the steel knife in his hand, and stabbed the two cavalrymen, and then kept shuttling in the gap between the war horses, so that Huang Zu's cavalry was helpless.

As soon as he slipped away, Lu Meng ran out of the most dangerous area, but there were still Huang Zu's soldiers in front of him, he swung his knife and slashed, desperately trying to rush out, and shouted at the front: "Do it!" ”

With Lü Meng's order, the twenty brave men who came with Lü Meng instantly tore the uniforms of Huang Zu's army, revealing the orange-red uniforms, and suddenly slashed at the enemy troops who surrounded Lü Meng.

Soon, Lu Meng climbed a high post under the escort of his brothers, raised the head of Huang Zu in his hand, mustered up all his strength, and shouted loudly: "Huang Zu has been killed by me, if you don't surrender quickly, when will you wait!" ”

The sound was like thunder, rolling into the ears, this shout, immediately attracted the attention of many soldiers, they saw that a young man covered in blood, only wearing a soldier's clothing, surrounded by a group of people, holding Huang Zu's head high, his eyes scanned the entire battlefield fiercely, looking majestic.

Huang Zu was killed, his army was leaderless, and the more than 1,000 soldiers who were surrounded had no fighting spirit, and they couldn't rush out, so they simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The army that was sniped by Gao Shun was never able to break through Gao Shun's defense line, but was chased and beaten by Gao Shun, and when he heard that Huang Zu was killed, the army scattered in a hurry, fled to the shore, crossed the river by boat, and did not dare to stay in Xunyang for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun immediately commanded the whole army to charge, chasing Huang Zu's defeated army until the shore.

When the defeated army fled to the shore, they all rushed to board the warship, and the soldiers on the warship saw Zhang Liao and Gao Shun leading the crowd to chase after them, and they were so frightened that their faces were as pale as dirt, and they didn't care that there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who did not board the ship, so they immediately cut off the cable, set sail and set anchor, and killed the soldiers who climbed the boat, and for a time, the waters on the shore of Xunyang were blood-red. Hundreds of warships quickly moved away from the shore, went upstream, and fled for their lives.

The remaining remnants of the more than 10,000 remnants of the army suffered a disaster, blocked by a large river in front of them, and pursued soldiers in the back, and the remnants of more than 10,000 remnants had no choice but to surrender.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and then ended with the defeat of Huang Zu's army, even Huang Zu himself was beheaded by Lu Meng, 50,000 troops, about 30,000 fled back, more than 5,000 were killed, and about 15,000 were forced to surrender.

On the side of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, only more than 500 people were killed and about 400 were injured, and the cost was very small.

After the war, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun escorted all the captives to Xunyang City, and Lu Su had already set up a camp here, and a cadre of people waited here quietly waiting for Zhang Yan's arrival.

At this moment, Zhang Yan led Zhao Yun, Jia Xu and others to Anhui County, because Anhui County is the hometown of Zhang Yan's concubines Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, so Zhang Yan stayed in Qiao's mansion for one night.

In the past three years, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have been waiting for Zhang Yan with all their hearts, the two sisters are not only good at singing and dancing, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the two were officially married into the house by Zhang Yan in May of the first year of Jian'an, plus the two sisters are very modest in receiving people and things, and they also respect Zhang Yan's wife Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen together form Zhang Yan's harem, the three sisters are all knowledgeable people, and they do not compete for favor with each other, and they get along very well.

In the second year of Jian'an, Da Qiao gave birth to a daughter for Zhang Yan, and this year, Xiao Qiao gave birth to a son for Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan named his daughter Zhang Xin, and named his son Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Yan stayed overnight in Qiao's mansion, talked with Qiao Gong very happily, and after three rounds of drinking, a brocade guard walked straight to Zhang Yan's side with good news, escaped a letter, and whispered a few words in Zhang Yan's ear.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he smiled happily and hahadaxiao.

Although those present didn't know why Zhang Yan was laughing, they could also see from Zhang Yan's laughter that the letter was good news.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yan's laughter fell, he said loudly: "Good news from the front, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Lu Su and others have defeated Huang Zu, and even Huang Zu himself has been beheaded and captured 15,000 people, and the rest of Huang Zu's army has fled. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Everyone congratulated in unison.

The good news from the front line came, which meant that Zhang Yan didn't have to go to Xunyang, so he was in Anhui County, rewarding the meritorious generals of this war, rewarding Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Lu Su with 1,000 gold each, and the 15,000 captured soldiers confiscated their armor and weapons, and all of them were released, settled on the spot, and classified into Xunyang, and ordered Lu Su to be responsible for settling the 15,000 captives, and then asked them to write letters to their families and let them move to Xunyang. In this way, it is equivalent to increasing Xunyang's hukou, and then giving land can allow them to carry out tuntian in Xunyang.

In addition, Zhang Yan incorporated Gan Ning and Su Fei into Zhang Liao's subordinates, and appointed Gan Ning as a lieutenant general and lieutenant respectively.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun were incorporated into Gao Shun's subordinates and appointed as military commanders respectively.

For Lü Meng, who beheaded Huang Zu, Zhang Yan was promoted to lieutenant according to his merits, and he was still subordinate to Gao Shun's army.

In addition, Zhang Yan ordered Zhang Liao to garrison in Xunyang, and concurrently served as Xunyang Commander, Gao Shun led his troops to garrison in the area of Anhui County, and the Shaobi Army was temporarily managed by Xu Chu's army.

Zuihou, Zhang Yan sent a messenger with Huang Zu's head to Xiangyang, returned the heads and corpses of Huang Zu and Huang Shot's father and son to Liu Biao, and reproached Liu Biao for not governing the army strictly, and hoped that the friendly relations between the two armies would not be affected because of this incident.

Liu Biao is also dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, he can't say what he suffers, not only lost Huang Zu, but also lost 20,000 regular troops, fortunately Huang Zu's army was not hit hard, otherwise, Liu Biao would definitely be heartbroken.

Moreover, Liu Biao also hated Huang Zu for not obeying the order, but as a friend, Liu Biao still held a beautiful funeral for Huang Zu and Huang Shot's father and son.

However, Jiangxia could not do without Taishou, so Liu Biao was transferred to Xinye to make Liu Qi the Taishou of Jiangxia, and also sent Kuai Liang as the chief historian of Jiangxia, Han Song as the main bookkeeper, and Fu Xun as the main secretary to assist Liu Qi. (To be continued......)
