Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteenth Preparation for Decisive Battle
On Zhao Yun's side, the cavalry charged all the way, no one stopped them, and they easily entered the enemy's formation.
At first, Zhao Yun did not seek to kill the enemy, but only wanted to disrupt the enemy's formation.
After the cavalry entered, they divided into small groups and charged around, disrupting the enemy's formation.
The chaotic enemy formation is impossible to defend let alone attack.
Zhang Liao's army came to oppress them in groups, massacring them all the way.
In this way, Qu Yong's army was gradually wiped out, and after most of it was wiped out, it was gradually divided and surrounded.
After being surrounded, the army faced two fates: death and surrender.
Most people chose to surrender, and those who did not surrender were quickly eliminated.
The entire battle lasted for more than three hours, and Qu Yong's 50,000 troops were wiped out forcefully.
The 50,000 troops were easily wiped out because no one expected that Zhang Yu's troops would be ambushed on the border.
Qu Yong had enough time to send out scouts for reinforcements, but none of the nearest armies had enough time to arrive.
When cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Yun said: "These Yuan Jun are still eager to do meritorious service, and they don't know pain at all."
Zhang Liao came over and heard Zhao Yun's words. He smiled and said, "Zilong, this is not Yuan Jun's carelessness. Yuan Jun was able to react quickly when I appeared. Even if you are prepared, you will be ambushed."
"Haha, yes, but Wen Yuan has also learned to flatter. My lord doesn't care about flattery. It doesn't work for him, but if Feng Xiao hears it, it will probably be very useful." Zhao Yun also said jokingly.
Zhang Liao shook his head. What he said was true. It is very important for an army to have brilliant leaders and resourceful people who can provide its brains.
He used to follow Lu Bu, Lu Bu is very powerful, the best fighter in the world, but in the end he was still defeated again and again.
Now, following Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu has a big structure, and there are still a group of capable people under him, and his career is booming.
After cleaning the battlefield, it was already night. More than 38,000 enemies were eliminated in this battle, and more than 10,000 people were captured.
Qu Yong died in battle.
After cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Liao said: "Zilong, I will leave this place to you, I should go and join the lord and the others."
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and bid farewell to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao led his army and more than 10,000 prisoners to Changli City.
The outcome of this battle was soon known by several parties.
Yan Liang was very angry when he received the news.
"Oh, how can I explain to the master." Yan Liang said with a sigh.
"Let me take soldiers and horses to block Zhang Yu, and support General Gao Lan if necessary." Wen Chou said with a dark face.
Ju Yi also said: "To deal with Zhang Yu, we really need a general."
Yan Liang said: "Zhang Yu obviously planned it carefully. He sent troops to set up an ambush before the attack, so that after the war broke out, our scouts did not receive news of the mobilization of troops in western Liaoning."
Thanks to Zhang Yu's men, Yan Liang and the others sent a lot of scouts, but they didn't find any traces of Zhang Yu's troop mobilization.
Things have happened, and the next most important thing is how to remedy them.
Yan Liang said: "Wen Chou, this time you still have to lead the soldiers and horses to block Zhang Yu and the others in You Beiping, and then I will send troops to enter from the grassland to meet Gao Lan. I am afraid that Changli County will not be able to hold it."
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the two most important generals under Yuan Shao, and they are also the generals Yuan Shao relies on the most. They still have these powers when they are about to fight.
It is very obvious that Zhang Yu wants to take over Changli County. He directly mobilized so many troops. Although Yuan Shao and his army have many troops, not many can be directly mobilized.
On both sides of the story, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are separated, and each has a mission.
After Zhao Yun left, he directly invaded the territory controlled by Yuan Shao, wandered in it, and attacked everywhere.
Zhao Yun's purpose was to restrain Yuan Jun and prevent them from acting rashly.
Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses are all light cavalry, and they are very fast. Even if Yuan Jun wanted to surround him, it would be very difficult.
After Zhang Liao left, he went directly to join Zhang Yu.
When Gao Lan received the news, he knew he was in danger.
He would be left without reinforcements, at least in the short term.
But Gao Lan has an army of 130,000 in his hand, and there are still cities to defend.
"Gao Lan, you are already surrounded, and I don't want you to surrender. Take the army and leave the city. I have taken over Changli County." Zhang Yu shouted again.
"Zhang Yu is really insidious." Gao Lan said with a sullen face on the top of the wall.
Zhang Yu's words contained a huge lethality.
This is tantamount to telling the soldiers that they have a way to survive and do not need to resist with all their strength.
At the same time, if Gao Lan resists with all his strength, the soldiers will blame him if the battle situation is unfavorable, and he may lose control, so he said that Zhang Yu is insidious.
Gao Lan ignored Zhang Yu and asked people to step up their guard and strengthen their defenses.
Although Gao Lan also knew that they were in a very dangerous situation, soldiers were soldiers and had not received an order to retreat, so they must continue to stand firm.
Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to continue shouting, telling them that the reinforcements had been wiped out, and as long as they voluntarily left and retreated from the grassland, they would never pursue them.
"My lord, we really don't want to fight, that's so boring." Dian Wei said dissatisfiedly from the side.
"Depending on the situation, wait for Wenyuan to arrive. If they haven't retreated, they will order an attack. Changli County is determined to win, and they can't even delay the time." Zhang Yu said.
Dian Wei was also surprised, Zhang Yu seldom did this, he did as much as possible to reduce casualties, and this time he decided to attack by force.
Attacking a city requires infantry, and although they have 50,000 infantry led by Tai Shici, Zhang Yu still has to wait for Zhang Liao to arrive before attacking.
Two days later, Zhang Liao arrived and joined them.
Zhang Yu first arranged for the captives to be sent back to Liaodong.
"Gao Lan, you have also seen that your reinforcements have been destroyed. At this time, our army has invaded your territory and you are completely surrounded. I will give you an hour to think about it. If you leave, you will avoid a war." Zhang Yu He came to the city again and shouted.
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he left, and the soldiers continued to shout several times on several city walls.
After Zhang Yu came back, he ordered: "Ziyi, Wenyuan, set up immediately, attack from three sides, evil, you lead the troops to provide fire support, divide the soldiers and horses into two groups, and continue to attack the city wall with arrows."
"promise."
The three generals immediately promised to prepare.
Although Zhang Yu wanted to give Gao Lan an hour to think about it, but Zhang Yu knew that he would not leave, Zhang Yu just wanted to shake their morale.
Half an hour later, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici finished their preparations.
"General, it took only half an hour for them to attack." Gao Lan was still laying out the defense, the soldier reported.
Gao Lan frowned, and led his guards up the city wall. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
