Chapter Thirty-Third: Yuan Shao’s Defeat Seeks Help from Liu Qing(1/2)
At this time, Yangfan County was in a state of panic.
When Zhang Ning entered the city, the county magistrate and officials had already fled, and some wealthy households among them also fled to avoid the limelight.
After all, the Baibo Army is already a traitor in the eyes of the world.
But to everyone's surprise, after Zhang Ning took over Yangfan, no killings or robberies seemed to have happened. And when the Baibo Army's rations were transported from Jiguan to Yangfan by car, Yangfan people understood:
Compared with Bai Bojun, it seems that he is the one who is more short of food.
It is the Baibo Army who should worry about food being robbed!
After Zhang Ning occupied Yangfan, he did not stay long. Instead, with Yang Feng as the vanguard, he went straight to Zhancheng, leaving another two thousand people to garrison Yangfan and take care of food and grass.
This time in the battle, Zhang Ning also brought the Yellow Turban Warriors with him, just to ensure the outcome of this battle. I heard that the King of Bohai has blessed the entire Jizhou, so it is better to win Hanoi for him as soon as possible!
Halfway through the march, the first batch of mounted sentries returned.
"Inform the Holy Lady General that the vanguard of Dong Zhuo's army and Yuan Shao's army have started fighting ten miles away from Zhancheng. Dong Zhuo's army has the advantage."
Zhang Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, he saw that this general who was leading Dong Zhuo's army was very bloody, and he actually fought ten miles away without waiting for work.
"Instruct General Yang Feng to speed up the advance and try to kill the vanguard cavalry before Yuan Jun's army arrives!" Zhang Ning ordered.
"The army speeds up!" Zhang Ning said again.
…
Fan Chou vigorously waved the sword in his hand and chopped the head of a Yuan Jun cavalryman with one blow. He cursed at Wen Chou from a few people away: "Animal products! Come and fight with Grandpa Fan for three hundred rounds!"
Wen Chou glared coldly, his face was very angry, and his expression was murderous. Facing a Xiliang cavalry blocking the road, Wen Chou swiped his iron gun and knocked him to the ground, and then shot him again.
"Don't leave! Let's fight if it's men!" Fan Chou shouted again, and chased him on horseback. He swung his sword again and hacked one person to death.
Wen Chou ignored Fan Chou's scolding, not because he didn't want to complain, but because fighting at this time was not good for him, and he didn't want to use his words. Fan Chou had twice as many soldiers and horses as him. After a fierce battle, Wen Chou planned to
Fight and retreat.
Even if reinforcements arrive as quickly as possible, he still has to hold on until then!
Of course, Wen Chou will not do nothing, he can also fight back and kill the enemy.
Wen Chou was very ruthless towards the approaching Xiliang cavalry. After knocking the horse off, he would shoot him again to ensure his death.
Because the two sides were engaged in a sports pursuit, the formation was not very close.
In response to Wen Chou's counterattack, Fan Chou could only continue to scold: "Don't leave, you rat! Come and die!"
So he cut down another Yuan Jun.
Get angry! The angrier you get, the harder you chase. When the reinforcements arrive, they will be able to defeat Fan Chou in one fell swoop. Wen Chou thought to himself, so he deliberately slowed down and waited for the Xiliang cavalry to come up.
Attack him, and with his force, it is more than enough to deal with it.
This kind of behavior was a great provocation to Fan Chou. If he was defeated, he could just run for his life. But Wen Chou ran while showing off his riding and spear skills, and kept assassinating the Xiliang cavalry.
"Fire the arrow! Shoot him to death!" Fan Chong was annoyed and ordered.
A group of Xiliang cavalry equipped with bows and arrows used their unique skills of riding and shooting, shooting at Wen Chou. Wen Chou blocked several of them with his spear, but saw that many Yuan Jun cavalry were hit by arrows, so he immediately ordered to run faster.
Pulling all the way, the battlefield dragged on for more than ten miles. Although there were gains along the way, his own losses were not small. Fan Chou really didn't expect that Wen Chou used such tactics. As the pursuit lasted for a long time, he seemed to realize the problem.
"Stop the pursuit! Stop the whole army!" Fan Chou shouted to stop, and at the same time slowed down, looking eagerly at Wen Chou to distance himself.
However, before walking very far, Fan Chou was surprised to find that Wen Chou actually stopped.
Provocation, this is definitely a provocation!
But at this time Fan Chou also became alert, this was obviously a ploy to lure the enemy!
"Retreat to Zhancheng!" Fan Chou ordered.
All the soldiers and horses turned around and started to walk back.
Fan Chou turned around, and Wen Chou laughed from afar.
Responding to Fan Chou for the first time: "Xiliang thief, are you still chasing me? It's your turn to escape now! Kill him!"
As soon as Wen Chou finished speaking, Yuan Shao's cavalry turned around and pursued Fan Chou.
The counter-escape turned into a pursuit, and such a moderate deployment showed that Wen Chou's so-called "defeat" was just a pretense.
When Fan Chou understood this, suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses appeared on the right slope, that is, on the south slope.
"kill!"
Without any explanation, the soldiers and horses rushed straight towards Fan Chou.
"Oops, I fell into the trap!" Fan Chou muttered, and then loudly ordered: "The rear team moves to the front and retreats!"
Fan Chou suddenly heard pressure. It was not easy to retreat such a long team. If the enemy intercepted them, they would naturally cut his team in half. The half that was intercepted would be in danger.
Wen Chou caught up with him, approached quickly, and shouted at the same time: "Don't leave, rats! Come and die!"
"Animal products! Come and fight Grandpa for three hundred rounds!"
Wen Chou's original words are returned.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wen Chou saw another army appear on his right wing, that is, on the plain to the north.
Wen Chou was stunned. He didn't know whose army it was, but it was definitely not Yuan's, because Yuan's cavalry reinforcements were in the south.
Not only Wen Chou, but also Fan Chou was in a state of confusion.
Could it be that Yuan Jun has more than one reinforcement?
It's over! Fan Chou thought to himself, and he suddenly remembered Mr. Jia Xu's words: When fighting across the river, self-preservation must be the primary purpose in everything.
When Yuan Jun attacks Zhan City, the safe way is to hold the city and defend it. It is not impossible to even abandon the city and leave.
Just when Fan Chou was still feeling regretful, the army rushed to kill him.
Fan Chou gritted his teeth and shouted again: "Kill out!"
The three armies quickly got involved, but something strange happened.
The army from the north rushed into Fan Chou's formation and actually passed through it, killing the enemy coming from the south.
"What's going on!" Fan Chong was completely confused.
Wen Chou was also stunned, looking at the reinforcements to the north and thinking: "That's the reinforcements from the Xiliang Army? Then doesn't the Xiliang Army have an even greater advantage on the battlefield at this time?"
Soon, the enemy troops who entered the battle loudly announced: "I am General Baibo Yang Feng, and I have come to take Hanoi on the orders of the Holy Lady General. Anyone who stops me is the enemy!"
Bai Bojun?
Why are the Baibo Army here?
Bai Bojun said he wanted to take Hanoi?
Not only Fan Chou and Wen Chou, but also Jiang Qi, who had just come to support them, looked confused.
However, what confused them even more was why the Baibo Army only attacked Yuan Shaojun!
Didn't it mean that Dong Zhuo was attacking the Baibo Army in Hedong County? They had a grudge!
Fan Chou seemed to understand. The suspicion in his mind and Mr. Jia Xu's big move began to become solid. His heart suddenly became clear. Fan Chou once again regained his confidence in this battle.
"Friendly troops are coming! Kill them!"
…
The days of waiting suddenly became boring. Being in a foreign land, Liu Qing couldn't find anything else to do for the time being except looking at the scenery and people's sentiments.
Now that he is the king, the son of a daughter, and not sitting in court, Liu Qing misses the time when he personally went into battle to kill the enemy. However, today's opponents are all good guys, unlike the Yellow Turbans or foreigners who only needed to ride horses and slash.
.
Overall, the time I spent in Hanoi seemed boring despite my expectations.
He should have let Qian Ying accompany him a long time ago!
Dian Wei trotted in, and Liu Qing knew the news was coming.
"Lord, Zhang Ning's battle report." Dian Wei said.
Liu Qing quickly took it and started reading it.
The letter said: "Zhang Ning's army, Yang Feng, and Dong Zhuo's army, Fan Chou, attacked Yuan Shao's army's vanguard Wen Chou and reinforcements Jiang Qi. They fought bloody battles for several miles and won with superior force. Later, Yuan Shao's army arrived and fought with Bai Bo's main force in the field for three days. Yuan's army was defeated due to lack of food and grass.
Defeat."
"It's done!" Liu Qing smiled heartily, "The next step that Feng Xiao said will become achievable in the near future!"
"Lord, what a good thing?" Dian Wei looked at Liu Qing and asked with a smile.
"Before June, this Hanoi County should have my last name!"
Dian Wei stepped forward and asked softly: "My lord, when will it be my turn to take action? My spurge is already hungry and thirsty!"
Dian Wei imitated Liu Qing's words and expressed his own thoughts.
Only then did Liu Qing realize that it was not only him who was bored, but also Dian Wei, and Dian Wei's belligerent temperament really made things difficult for him.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Liu Qing said perfunctorily.
