Chapter 363: Megatron Kettle Pass

Qin Feng and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle in Hebei, and the world shook.

Yuan Shaobing divided into two routes, attacking Huguan all the way and pinning down Liliang in Qinfeng and Zhou. marched all the way to Yijing, and contacted the Karasuma people to attack Qin Feng together.

Who knew that Qin Feng captured the collapse of the seventh, collapsed and surrendered, the two merged in one place, and the Karasuma people fought back and defeated Yuan Shao's main force.

However, this news has not yet reached Yecheng, let alone the Yuan army camp under Huguan City, more than 50 miles outside Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's army and horses had 20,000 people along the way, and Chun Yuqiong was the main general, and Gao Ran was the deputy general. Originally, Gao Ran's skills were above Chun Yuqiong, but Chun Yuqiong was an old man who followed Yuan Shao when he was the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, so Yuan Shao took him as the main general.

The Eastern Han Dynasty fought a war that relied on the wisdom of the strategists, and the strategist of the Yuan army here was Xu You. History evaluates Xu Yu as a man who is wise but impure in his actions, arrogant and slow to treat the king.

He is such a person, he will never honestly contain Zhang Liao of Huguan, but he is pondering from beginning to end, thinking about how to win Huguan, so as to make great contributions, and he is proud of his family.

On this day, Xu Yu secretly drank in the tent, and after some drinking, his thinking became clearer, and he suddenly thought of the allusion of "Yu Xu Pingqiang", "Tune the tiger away from the mountain!" Xu Yu was overjoyed, and immediately used his power as a strategist to convene a military meeting.

The big tent of the Chinese army, when Gao Ran walked in, he smelled the skyrocketing wine. It turned out that Chun Yuqiong was a big drunkard, and in later generations, the guards of the grain and grass camp in the battle of Guandu dared to drink and make mistakes, let alone now.

Chun Yuqiong and Xu You both drank wine, so they talked happily. When he saw Gao Ran coming in, he beckoned: "General Gao is here, sit down." Sit down and listen to the clever plan of Xu Youjun. ”

"Brilliant idea?" Gao Lanxin said that both of you are drunk. There's a trick. However, Chun Yuqiong is the main general, and these two are the old men next to the lord. Gao Ran couldn't say anything, so he sat down.

Xu You touched his beard, exhaled a breath of wine, and said with a smile: "The lord can't attack in Yijing for a long time, and the passage of time is not good for our army, if we can break the pot pass, we can remove the threat of Yecheng, and we can send troops to support the lord's decisive battle in Yijing." Even if Qin Feng escapes this time, we have the pot pass. The strategic situation is advantageous. ”

"What the military advisor said is very true." Gao Ran, as a famous general in Hebei, can figure these out. "But Huguan is dangerous, and there are 30,000 defenders of Zhang Liao, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army has no advantage in strength, how can we break the enemy?"

Xu You smiled disdainfully, "You don't have enough wisdom, of course you can't think of it." ”

Gao Ran's face sank, and he stopped talking.

Xu Yu is boring. He said: "You should use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain." ”

"How?" Gao Ran also wanted to get a victory, and couldn't help asking.

Xu You shook his head, picked up the tea and took a sip, and then said, "Just spread rumors in Huguan." It is said that the lord was defeated in Yijing, Qin Feng's soldiers came to Yecheng, and our army returned to help. Zhang Liao of the pot got the news. Troops will definitely be sent to pursue. Let's feign retreat with small forces, and ambush large forces. When Zhang Liao's army passed, he waved his army to attack Huguan. ”

Gao Ran frowned slightly. Said: "The Qin army also has scouts, what if Zhang Liao sees through this plan?" ”

"yes, yes!" Chun Yuqiong only thought that this plan was feasible before, and did not think of anything else, and said with a dizzy head shaking when she heard the words.

Xu You suddenly sneered, he felt that explaining to these reckless men was like playing the piano to a cow, so he shook his hand and said: "Since ancient times, you have been using tricks, how can you come and go, how can you hit every shot." Even if we see through it, Zhang Liao can't come out, so we're thinking of other strategies. The corner of his eye turned to the sky, and he said sarcastically with white eyes: "Why, is it possible that our 20,000 army can still disappear in the ambush place." ”

"If you don't dare to use tricks, how can you win!" Xu Yu zuihou said.

Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran were instantly embarrassed, and when they thought about it, even if this plan didn't work, there would be no loss to themselves, if it was done, the pot would be able to take it. If you don't dare to use a plan, you won't have to march to fight in the future, and you can go home and farm.

So Chun Yuqiong slapped the table and said, "What the military advisor said is very true, I will spread the news in the future, and you will be responsible for this matter." ”

"Whoa!"

……

The news of Yuan Shao's defeat soon spread to Huguan.

In Huguan, there are 30,000 people led by Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua to garrison. Confronted Yuan Shaojun's 20,000 troops, although there were 10,000 more, the overall difference was not too big.

When the generals saw the news that came, they were all suspicious.

Zhou Cang said: "General, the lord won in Yijing, Chun Yuqiong's army is about to retreat, if you take advantage of the situation to pursue, you can destroy this Yuan army." ”

However, Zhang Liao had a different opinion, so he said: "Yuan Shao was defeated, according to common sense, Chun Yuqiong will definitely block the news, but at this moment, it is spreading, I am afraid that there is fraud in it." ”

Liao Hua said: "What General Zhang said is very true, but why did Chun Yuqiong spread such news? ”

"This must be a ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain." Zhang Liao's wisdom was the top existence among the unparalleled fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, and he was immediately surprised.

"The plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so it is. Then, we can't go out of retreat, and let his plan fail. Zhou Cang wore a mustache and said with big eyes at the copper bell.

After Zhang Liao thought about it, he said: "The Lord ordered us to take the initiative, but for a period of time, we have not been given a chance. This is a rare opportunity, and we should plan it accordingly. When Chun Yuqiong retreated, he chased after the soldiers and horses in the pass. At the same time, the elite Liliang was deployed, and the Yuan army that came to the gate entered the pass, blocked the narrow area inside the gate, and surrounded and annihilated the enemy. In addition, the soldiers and horses who went out are returning quickly, and the internal and external attacks will definitely be able to break through Chun Yu Qiong's department. ”

Zhou Cang and Liao Hua hesitated, and said: "General, this plan is too dangerous, if the defenders in the pass can't resist the impact of Yuan's army before returning to the army, then Huguan is in danger!" ”

Zhang Liaojian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The opportunity for success or failure is to fight here." The lord left a thousand warriors in battle, which can be of great use. If you have any doubts, I will decide it alone. If there is something in the future, I Zhang Liao will take it with all my might! The two of you can lead the troops to pretend to chase the enemy, and I Zhang Liao will fight to get rid of this seven-foot body, and I will also block the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army in the pass. Only two generals are needed, and when they return to the army, they can whip their horses quickly. ”

Zhou Cang. Liao Hua, seeing Zhang Liao so resolute at this time. He also made a generous statement: "This major matter, since the general's mind has been decided. Regardless of our lives, how can we give up our righteousness? When guarding the pass with the general, another general was sent to lead the troops to pretend to chase the enemy. ”

Therefore, the generals obeyed Zhang Liao's order, recruited 1,000 people who dared to die in the army overnight, and together with 1,000 trapped troops, set up a banquet to strengthen the army's prestige.

In the early morning of the next day, sure enough, Yuan's army began to retreat. Zhang Liao ordered more than 20,000 people to leave the customs. Go after the enemy under your own banner.

Yuan Jun's side.

Xu Yu saw the yellow sand rolling behind him, and said: "Zhang Liaozhong, the two generals can quickly go to the ambush place to hide." After Zhang Liao's army is over, he will be killed, and he will go all out to grab the Huguan. "He, a civil official, would not be desperate, so he took more than a thousand people with him, tied branches to the horse's buttocks, and brought up boundless dust. Pretending to be tens of thousands of people retreating, he went all the way to Yecheng.

Chun Yu Qiong, Gao Yan, quietly hidden in a hollow. When all the Qin troops passed, he led more than 20,000 people to Ma Wanghu Pass. With all his strength, he came to the pot in less than half an hour.

Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua really looked at it at the close.

Zhou Cang. Liao Hua said: "The general's divine calculation, it is really a plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain!" ”

Zhang Liao said: "The herald orders the whole army to be invincible. Just wait for Yuan Jun to break through the gate, let it in, and encircle and annihilate it. ”

Chun Yuqiong came to the front of the pass. didn't call for a battle, daxiao said: "There are no more soldiers and horses in Huguan, General Gao Lan, order the whole army to assault!" ”

The Yuan army launched a fierce attack, carrying a ladder and pushing a siege vehicle, and attacked Huguan like crazy. The Qin army, under Zhang Liao's orders, only dealt with Yunti. After the huge siege vehicle came up, it quickly crashed into the gate more than ten meters wide.

Chun Yuqiong was overjoyed and immediately waved his army to grab the door. So Yuan Jun didn't care about climbing with a ladder, so more than 20,000 people poured in.

Xiongguan is only external, not internal. Therefore, the front of the pass is narrow, and the gate is wide enough for the troops to go to the pass at full speed.

Zhang Liao immediately ordered a thousand trapped cavalry and a thousand selected brave men to line up inside the gate.

So when Chun Yuqiong led the army to rush into the pass, he was surprised to find that there were already more than 2,000 people in the open space of the pass, but he just thought that this was a dying and struggling defender, so he ordered an attack.

Zhang Liao put on armor and held a halberd, and when Yuan's army was not stable, he led a thousand iron cavalry to rush into the enemy formation. He rode a purple horse, and his speed was extremely fast, and he saw Chun Yuqiong rushing forward alone. The blood was surging, and he rode out alone, holding the thunder and fire halberd, and took Chun Yuqiong. shouted: "Zhang Liao is here!" ”

At this time, Yuan's army only came in the vanguard, and did not line up, and when he saw a heavy cavalry coming, he was at a loss for what to do.

Zhang Liao brandished the Thunder Fire Heaven-shaking Halberd in his hand, and after killing more than a dozen panicked Yuan soldiers in a row, he rushed straight in front of Chun Yu Qiongma.

"Zhang Liao! How did you end up here! In Chun Yuqiong's opinion, Zhang Liao at this moment should be chasing his suspicious soldiers. He was shocked and hurriedly swung the big knife in his hand and slashed at it.

Zhang Liao had already made a move, and the thunder fire shook the heavenly halberd from Chun Yuqiong's neck, and suddenly a big haode head fell to the ground, and the bowl-sized scar on his neck sprayed blood. After a long while, the headless corpse fell to the ground.

Zhang Liao killed Chun Yuqiong in one move, but he was surrounded by his own soldiers, densely packed with several layers. Without fear, he rushed left and right, fought his way through a bloody path, and joined up with the trapped army.

Seeing that the main general was so heroic, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and in the bloody battle, they almost killed the Yuan army that rushed to the pass.

The 2,000-strong Qin army surrounded the enemy in the open space of thousands of square meters inside the gate, unable to advance or retreat.

After Gao Ran took over the command, he knew that Zhang Liaozai had failed the strategy, and he thought that the Qin army that had left the pass would soon return to attack him. But he was very unwilling, he wanted to fight the time difference, if he eliminated Zhang Liao's 2,000 people here before the Qin army team returned, Huguan would still be on his side. So, he gave the order for a furious attack.

Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Zhang Liao, desperately fighting, more than a dozen knives in the body did not retreat, under their leadership, a thousand trapped iron cavalry and the Black Mountain Army dared to die, and withstood the attack of Yuan's army.

Due to the mad attack of the Yuan army, it caused itself to be congested in the narrow strip outside the gate.

When the Qin army returned, it was defeated by the front and rear pinch.

Zhang Liao led the army to kill more than 20,000 Yuan troops, and shook Huguan. As soon as Chun Yuqiong's troops were destroyed, Yuan's army was left without any liliang within the scope of Yecheng, and Zhang Liao immediately ordered Liao Hua to guard the pass, and he led 20,000 horses to Yecheng.

The news quickly spread to Yuan Shao. (To be continued......)
