Chapter 159 Iron Cavalry Swept

Zhao Yun led his army to the shore, and saw that Yuan Tan had just escaped, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. At this time, the Yuan army officers and soldiers knelt all over the ground and begged for mercy to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said, "Don't be afraid. Since you have surrendered, we will not hurt you." The Yuan army officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel relieved, and thanked them for not killing them.

Zhao Yun ordered five hundred cavalry to escort the prisoners back to the East China Sea, and he himself led the cavalry to cut down trees, roll wooden rafts, and prepare to cross the river.

Yuan Tan almost escaped to the west bank alone and rushed into Langya County. The person in charge of guarding Langya was Liu Xun, a subordinate of Yuan Tan. When he heard that Yuan Tan had fled to Langya, he was surprised and rushed to the city gate. He saw Yuan Tan who was in a mess near the city gate. He was even more shocked and suspicious. He immediately stepped forward, turned over and dismounted, and bowed to pay homage to him: "Last general Liu Xun pays homage to the eldest son!"

Yuan Tan put down the water bag, looked at Liu Xun, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Report to the eldest son, since the eldest son took away almost all the troops, there are now less than three thousand people in the city, and they are all old and weak."

Yuan Tan frowned and murmured to himself: "There are only three thousand people! What should I do, what should I do?"

Liu Xun couldn't help asking, "I dare to ask the eldest son, I don't know, what is the situation of the battle ahead?"

Yuan Tan felt ashamed and couldn't say anything. The officer beside him looked at Liu Xun and shouted angrily: "The eldest son is already very tired. What are you still asking questions here?" Liu Xun was furious and thought to himself: I am a general who guards the side, you, a little officer, dare to drink five or six to me. It's so unreasonable!

However, even though he thought so, he did not dare to show it on his face. He responded repeatedly, then clasped his fists at Yuan Tan and said, "Young Master, please go to the government office to rest."

Yuan Tan stood up, and Liu Xun immediately led his mount over, helped Yuan Tan to step onto the mount, and led Yuan Tan straight into the government office. Then Liu Xun ordered people to hold a banquet. Yuan Tan was already very hungry and started to eat without waiting for all the food and food to come. Liu Xun was full of doubts and found an opportunity to leave Yuan Tan and come outside. He found a soldier who followed Yuan Tan back and asked, "What is the war in the south? Why is the eldest son so embarrassed?"

When the soldier saw Liu Xun asking, he dared not hide it. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "If you go back to the general, our army will lose consecutive battles in the south, and now even Donghai County is lost! Not long ago, Lu Bu's cavalry was chasing us! If we hadn't found a fishing boat and fled, we would have been captured by the other party at this moment!"

Liu Xun was shocked and asked anxiously: "Since that's the case, what about the 80,000 troops brought by the eldest son? And the 50,000 troops of General Jiang Yiqiu who guarded the East China Sea?"

The soldier shook his head in a grimaceful face.

Liu Xun felt unbelievable and shouted, "All the troops are wiped out?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "No, many troops have been broken up, and I don't know where they have been."

Liu Xun retreated the soldiers and felt restless. At this moment, an officer rushed over to report: "General, the last general saw a Lu Bu cavalry on the city gate tower cutting trees and making wooden rafts." Liu Xun was shocked and rushed to the city gate tower and looked towards the east bank of Yishui. The Linyi River in Langya County is only a few miles away from Yishui. There is a large pier on the shore, and a wide official road leads from the pier to the east.

Gate. Therefore, standing on the city gate tower, as long as it is not a bad weather, you can see the situation on the east coast. Liu Xun saw the noise of the east coast, thousands of Lu Bu officers and soldiers were busy, and many wooden rafts were already docked on the shore. Liu Xun was panicked and didn't know what to do, and murmured to himself: "What should I do? What should I do? The 130,000-strong army of the eldest son was defeated. I only have three thousand old and weak, and I can't resist at all!"

Zhao Yun led the vanguard cavalry to cross Yishui, and then rushed to the city to attack the city, but saw that the city gate was wide open and no one was guarding the city wall. The generals next to him said with some concern: "The city gate is wide open, I am afraid of fraud?" Zhao Yun smiled proudly and said: "Even if there is fraud, what are you afraid of? Enter the city!" Then he led the cavalry into the city gate. After entering the city, he found that there was no trick, and the officers and soldiers in the city had already escaped. Zhao Yun immediately ordered five hundred people to guard Langya County and sent people to report to the lord. He himself led thousands of war horses through Langya County and swept towards the north. Chenyan Beijuan, Yangdu, Dong'an and other counties and cities were submerged in sight.

Dongguan County Magistrates were flew together and received an urgent report from Lu Bu's army that he was about to be at the city. However, he was not afraid of the danger and immediately summoned all the yamen runners and six or seven or eight young and middle-aged men in the city to climb up the city wall and prepare to resist and fall to the ground.

Not long after, I saw dust rolling in the distance, and a large number of fierce cavalry rushed towards me like a whirlwind. The yamen runners and the people temporarily pieced together had never seen such a scene. They were so scared that they were scattered. Before they could even fight, they all scattered. Only Qi Fang, a lonely man, was still sitting on the low wall of mud, facing the rushing cavalry, at a loss. However, Zhao Yun ignored the Dongguan County Town, and the cavalry walked around the County Town and continued northward. Soon after, he arrived at a first-hand place, Yunting.

Yunting is very low, as the name suggests, it is just a pavilion below a county. The pavilion was an administrative unit of the Han Dynasty. At that time, there was a saying that "a hundred miles is a county, ten miles is a pavilion". The pavilion is probably equivalent to a town today. Yunting is not big, but the terrain is dangerous and its strategic position is very important. It is located in the upper reaches of the Shu River, leaning against Jiwu Mountain in the east and Gonglai Mountain in the west. It can only pass through Yunting, a narrow area where the Shu River flows through from south to north. Because its strategic position is important, since the Qin unified the world, a pass, Yunting Pass was set up here.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry straight to Yunting, and suddenly a rain of arrows shot towards him. Zhao Yun was very skilled in martial arts, and immediately stopped the war horses and waved the dragon gall guns to push away the arrows flying. However, the cavalry beside him did not have as good martial arts as his. They all fell to the ground with their horses on their backs! The cavalry behind stopped quickly!

Zhao Yun looked forward and saw that Yunting Pass was covered with crossbowmen. Unexpectedly, when Yuan Shao's army was defeated, he could still arrange guard forces here in time.
