Chapter 299 Huge Harvest
The ambush was successful.
Zhang Yu and Huang Zhong had led a surprise attack and destroyed half of the Xiliang Army's formation.
Being raided into the formation by two soldiers and horses, the command suddenly became ineffective, and the formation was chaotic, unable to form a joint force.
Li Jue saw that he couldn't fight, and if he continued, he could only be wiped out, so he ordered to retreat.
"Break out, hurry up, follow me to kill."
Li Jue is also a mighty general in Xiliang, and he has fought many tough battles with Dong Zhuo, so he knows how to choose at this time.
Li Jue leads people to break through.
"The whole army presses up."
As soon as the enemy broke through, Zhang Yu immediately changed his strategy and ordered the whole army to press up.
Dian Wei and the others also threw away their shields and began to attack.
Li Jue led people to open a gap from the rear, and then led people to kill them.
They rushed out of this small gap.
"Hmph, this is the time we've been waiting for." Zhao Yun led more than a thousand people to watch the battle and did not join the battlefield. At this moment, he saw Li Jue rushed out with more than three thousand people and immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
"Quick, follow me to block the enemy's gap."
Zhao Yun took more than a thousand people and killed them.
Under Zhao Yun's vigorous attack, the gap was blocked.
"Your general has escaped, and those who surrender will not be killed."
"The descendant will not be killed."
"The descendant will not be killed."
The whole army shouted.
After running for more than a thousand meters, Li Jue realized that something was wrong, and the army behind did not keep up.
With Li Jue's run, the morale of the remaining Xiliang army collapsed immediately.
In addition, they were surrounded, and Zhang Yu and Huang Zhong led people to attack everywhere, breaking up their establishment.
In this way, some people began to surrender, and then piece by piece.
"Zilong, you lead people to chase for a while, but don't chase too far, be careful that the enemy has reinforcements." After the enemy surrendered, Zhang Yu said to Zhao Yun.
"Yes, my lord."
Zhao Yun immediately led his men in pursuit.
After Li Jue found out that he had been deceived, it turned out that the enemy deliberately let go of the gap to let him escape, but he had only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses around him, so he didn't dare to pursue him, so he hesitated for a while and ran away.
Li Jue regretted it very much. He shouldn't have listened to Xu Rong's words, but he was also angry. If Xu Rong came with him, even if they were ambushed, they could beat them.
Even if you can't beat it, you won't lose as much as you do now.
"Damn Xu Rong, I will sue the prime minister when I go back." Li Jue became more and more angry as he thought about it.
"General, the enemy is catching up."
Li Jue was thinking about what to do when he went back, when the soldier's words brought him back to his senses.
"Let's go, go, damn it." Li Jue didn't dare to delay, so he led the people away.
Zhao Yun quickly chased after him. After chasing for more than ten miles, he saw the Xiliang army ahead, and then withdrew.
However, Zhao Yun didn't withdraw immediately, but stayed in place for a long time to see if the Xiliang army would come to kill him.
Xu Rong joined Li Jue with 20,000 soldiers and horses, but found that Li Jue came back with so many troops and was chased all the way. He didn't know that Li Jue was ambushed.
"Take it back first." Xu Rong said to Li Jue expressionlessly.
There was a fire in Li Jue's heart, but strength was everything in the Xiliang Army.
Xu Rong is one of Dong Zhuo's four generals, and his status is the same as him, so Li Jue can only endure it.
Zhao Yun saw the enemy retreat but he didn't leave. Zhao Yun didn't lead his people to retreat until Zhang Yu and the others finished dealing with the battlefield.
"My lord, I made a lot of money this time. There are about 10,000 horses alone." Huang Zhong said happily to Zhang Yu.
"The Xiliang army is still rich, and they will send us ten thousand horses at a time." Zhang Yu was also happy, as he had always been in short supply of horses.
In this ambush, more than 10,000 war horses were captured and more than 8,000 people were captured.
These more than 8,000 people are elite soldiers, and it is not a small force to disperse them among the various armies.
In addition to supplementing their battle losses, Zhang Yu planned to take these troops to Liaodong, where such elite cavalry was most lacking.
You know, at this time, the combat power of the Xiliang Army is at its peak.
These soldiers are very powerful.
If Li Jue hadn't escaped and the army's morale was broken, it would not be so easy to capture them.
With a large number of prisoners and captured, Zhang Yu and the others happily went to Hulao Pass.
Hulaoguan at this time is a big powder keg.
Zhang Yu saw that there were piles of firewood under the city, and the top of the city was the same, with a large pile of firewood.
There are soldiers constantly patrolling around, and a lot of buckets are placed, just to prevent any accidental fire, then the whole checkpoint will be reduced to ashes.
By the time Xu Rong and the others went back, it was already afternoon.
"Trash, trash, 20,000 elite soldiers, you have lost so much, you still have the face to come back."
After returning, Dong Zhuo was furious and began to curse Li Jue.
Li Jue was so scolded that she didn't dare to raise her head.
Dong Zhuo wished he could go up and kick Li Jue a few times, but finally he endured it.
"Prime Minister, it's not good, Hulao Pass may be occupied by Zhang Yu." Li Ru suddenly realized a very important thing.
Hulao Pass was ignored before because it was not difficult for them to attack Hulao Pass from the direction of Luoyang. He hadn’t considered Hulao Pass before he controlled the entire Luoyang City. Prison is not far away.
Dong Zhuo, who was furious, also calmed down. He is a warrior on the battlefield, how could he not know the importance of Hulao Pass.
"Xu Rong, you lead an army of 50,000 to take Hulao Pass immediately, and Guo Bang, bring 30,000 troops to support you." Dong Zhuo thought for a while and immediately ordered.
Xu Rong and Guo Si took orders and led people there immediately.
"Wait a minute, Prime Minister, Zhang Yu has two powerful generals, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, it is most suitable for Xu Rong to bring General Lu Bu with him." Li Ru came out and said.
"Yeah." Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Fong Xian my son, you also bring ten thousand elite soldiers to go with Xu Rong."
Lu Bu came out and clasped his fists to promise, and then left.
By the time Xu Rong and the others ordered their soldiers and horses, it was already dark.
Xu Rong decided to set off overnight and set up camp halfway, so that he could reach Hulao Pass early tomorrow morning.
Not long after Xu Rong set off, Guo Bang also brought people to support him.
And Zhang Yu and the others are already resting at Hulao Pass.
After resting in the middle of the night, the soldiers came to report in the middle of the night, and the enemy came to kill.
Zhang Yu didn't do anything, and asked people to continue to rest, and asked the guards to watch carefully.
Zhang Yu was not surprised when the enemy army arrived, because it was impossible for Dong Zhuo to ignore the value of Hulao Pass.
After dawn, Xu Rong led his army to kill.
At this time, there were tens of thousands of Zhang Yu's army in the pass, and of course some of them were stationed outside the pass, and Hulao Pass could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses.
"What? What is Zhang Yu going to do?" When Xu Rong arrived at Hulao Pass, he saw that the entire Hulao Pass was covered with wood.
"Could it be that he is going to burn down the Hulao Pass?" Xu Rong immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Xu Rong didn't dare to attack.
"Send someone to ask who the other party will be." Zhang Yu said to the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers quickly left Hulaoguan, and then went to the enemy's camp to question.
