Chapter 161 Capture Yunting

When the other sentries heard his shouting, they couldn't help but look at the east wall. Sure enough, they saw several figures coming quickly. They didn't care and continued to drink and chat.

After a while, the people rushed into the light range of the lanterns of the gatehouse. The sentry suddenly saw that the black-clothed black armor was not their own outfits, but they were clearly Lu Bu's army! The sentry was frightened and shouted, "No!" At this moment, the Lu Bu soldiers raised their bows and arrows and fired an arrow at the sentry on the gatehouse, and then pulled out the ring-headed knife and rushed up. The sentry had just shouted "No", and was immediately caught in an arrow in his chest and fell to the ground with a scream. The other sentry were stunned. Before they could react, the Lu Bu soldiers had already jumped to the gatehouse and slashed around. Several sentrymen were still holding wine and meat in their hands, and were cut down in a pool of blood.

These Lu Bu soldiers chopped down the sentries on the gate tower, rushed down the gate tower and came to the city gate, raised the door bar, and opened the city gate. One of the soldiers raised the torch and danced quickly outside. After a while, the sound of horse hooves were heard, and Zhao Yun led thousands of war cavalry to pour into Yunting.

Yuan Shao's army was drunk and dreaming and dying, but they didn't know where the world was. Suddenly, the iron hooves were like tides of swords and lights like snow, sweeping across! Yuan Shao's officers and soldiers suddenly saw this scene, and thought it was an illusion, and they were all stunned. Then, flesh and blood flew everywhere, screaming sounded, and Yuan Shao's officers and soldiers fell into a pool of blood! Yuan Shao's officers and soldiers then came back to their senses in a horror. Seeing the enemy killing in front of them, their companions died tragically, and they were all scared to death, and they rolled and crawled around, pushing and shoving, and people kept falling to the ground. Before they could get up, they were trampled to death by the iron hooves rushing up. Blood extinguished the bonfire, and the wine jar fell everywhere, and the scene was in chaos.

Zhou Zheng looked at the scene in front of him with drunken eyes and was completely stunned. He felt that this must be a nightmare. How could Lu Bujun suddenly come in? He felt that he was brave in his dream. Seeing Zhao Yun, who had a silver spear and white horse, rushing forward, he actually raised his long sword and greeted him, shouting, "Bold Zhao Yun, get off the horse and die quickly!" In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun rushed to him. The dragon gall gun in his hand instantly pierced Zhou Zheng's chest like a sudden electric shock. He picked up Zhou Zheng's body and threw it on a bonfire with both hands. Mars flew everywhere.

The Yuan Shao soldiers suddenly saw the general being killed, and they became even more panicked and the scene became even more chaotic.

The sun rose from the east, and the sunlight dispelled the night. The battle at Yunting was over. The more than 3,000 Yuan Shao's officers and soldiers were all annihilated, including more than a thousand killed, and the rest were captured.

An officer was taken to Zhao Yun by a soldier. When the officer saw Zhao Yun, he immediately knelt down and shouted with great admiration: "The general is really an invincible general among the people. The villain has admired the general for a long time, and he only regrets that he has never been able to serve the general! Now when he sees the general, it is like a long drought and rain. If the general does not dislike it, the villain is willing to lead a horse and kick it and serve the dog and horse!" It turned out that this officer was the officer who flattered Zhou Zheng before. In order to survive, he took out his talent and used Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to do this, I won't kill you."

When the officer heard this, he felt relieved and hurriedly said, "What the villain said just now is all the villain's heartfelt words!"

Seeing that he was talking very well, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Are you a scholar?"

The officer hurriedly said, "I have been studying in a private school for ten years. Although I dare not say that the Four Books and Five Classics are proficient, I am quite well-educated." Then my heart moved: Could it be that the general wants to accept me as a civil servant? No matter how good it is, it will be gone!

Zhao Yun asked, "Are you the garrison troops of Yunting?"

The officer took back his fantasy and shook his head and said, "No. There were only three hundred people here, and these 3,000 of us were transferred not long ago. It seemed that Lord Xin Ping received an urgent report and learned that General Lu Bu had defeated the eldest son in the south and were heading north. Therefore, Xin Ping urgently transferred our three thousand people to come. Alas, what's the use of Xin Ping doing these? In front of the elite general, especially in General Zhao, it was as vulnerable as an arm blocking a car!"

The purpose of Zhao Yun asked this was to know whether Qingzhou was already prepared. If these defenders were the original defenders of Yunting, it means that Qingzhou was not prepared yet, so he could lead the cavalry to raid Qingzhou, and perhaps he could establish a great achievement. On the contrary, since most of these garrison troops were urgently dispatched not long ago, it was said that Qingzhou had already prepared. If the raiders raided Qingzhou at this time, it would not only fail, but could lose troops and generals.

Zhao Yun asked: "How many defenders are there in Qingzhou?"

"Twenty thousand. We were transferred here, and we probably had less than 20,000 now. By the way, before we came here, I heard that, lord, no, Yuan Shao sent the second son, no, he sent Yuan Xi to lead an army of 80,000 to reinforce Qingzhou. It seems that they had entered the ground of Qingzhou two days ago."

Zhao Yun looked thoughtful and asked him a few more questions. He felt that the other party had no information to provide, so he asked someone to take him down.

Zhao Yun called the commemorative officer and told the commemorative officer in detail the series of information he had just learned, asking him to rush back immediately and report these situations to the lord. The commemorative officer held his fist and agreed, turned over the horse, waved his whip, and raised his hooves and left.

Zhao Yun gave two orders to his officers, one was to put all the prisoners into a large warehouse and strictly guard them. The other was to ask his subordinates to divide them into several teams and take turns to be on guard. Zhao Yun knew that it was impossible to raid Qingzhou, so he decided to keep the very important pass of Yunting.

When Ailang received Zhao Yun's report, he led the army to Langya. He was very happy to learn that Zhao Yun had seized Yunting. If Zhao Yun was here at this moment, he might have hugged Zhao Yun and kissed him fiercely. Ailang sent the army to accelerate its advance. Two days later, the 40,000 army came to Yunting and met with more than 4,000 combat cavalry under Zhao Yun. Ailang was very happy when he saw Zhao Yun, hugged Zhao Yun, patted him heavily on the back, and praised: "Good job! Good job! It's worthy of being Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said: "Lord is a ridiculous praise!"

Ai Lang looked at Zhao Yun, and he liked him more and more. Not only did he look handsome, but he was so capable and so loyal. Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, smiled and praised: "Zilong's two battles of raiding Langya and Yunting were really wonderful! Especially when he attacked Yunting, the troops came and went like wildfire, making the opponent unable to defend themselves! If Zilong hadn't attacked Yunting in one fell swoop, our army would have to take some tricks to seize this strategic location!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Gongtai is over-reward!"

Chen Gong asked: "Zilong, what is the situation in Qingzhou now?"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "Report to the lord, I just received a scout report that Yuan Tan had retreated to Qingzhou. Guo Tu led 10,000 defeated troops and retreated to Qingzhou. Many Yuan Shao soldiers who had fled before have also retreated to Qingzhou. Now Qingzhou has more than 50,000 reinforcements. In addition, the 80,000 reinforcements led by Yuan Xi have arrived in Linji in the west. However, they stopped. I don't know what intentions are." Linji is on the west side of Linzi, the west bank of the Ji River, which is about seventy miles away from Linzi in a straight line.

Ai Lang thought about it and thought that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it seemed that the three brothers of the Yuan family were incompatible. Maybe Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan had another conflict, but he thought that even if they had conflicts and Linzi was attacked, Yuan Xi would not come to rescue him. At this point, he couldn't help but wonder if he could come to besiege the city to fight for assistance? But another question came. He had less than 50,000 troops in his hands. How could such troops fight the city guarded by 50,000 troops, and at the same time he had to deal with Yuan Xi's 80,000 troops.

When Ailang thought of this, he couldn't help but become angry and cursed: "What a bastard! Why are there so many troops on Yuan Shao? After several big battles, they still have more than 100,000 troops!"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "The Yuan army was defeated one after another, and lost two important cities in the East China Sea and Langya. Although there are still more than 100,000 troops now, the morale of the army is in turmoil, and its true combat power is only 60,000 or 70,000 at most!" When everyone heard this, they felt that this was very reasonable and couldn't help but feel more confident.

Ailang slapped his face, "Okay! Let's rest for that day, and then go to Qingzhou to attack them and give them a besiege and help!"

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise!"

Ailang said to everyone: "Okay, okay, go and rest, don't be around me." Everyone saluted Ailang and led his troops to rest. Only Dian Wei and Huang Wudie remained by Ailang's side.

When Ailang saw Huang Wudie staring at Zhao Yun's back, he was jealous and asked angrily: "Wudie, are you looking at the handsome guy?"

Huang Wudie withdrew her gaze, looked Ailang angrily, and said, "Nonsense, do you think I am the kind of watery poplar flower woman? Since I have recognized you in my life, other men are like mud and grass in my eyes!" Ailang was very happy and couldn't help but hold Huang Wudie's slender hand. Huang Wudie couldn't help but look around. Seeing that everyone had left, Dian Wei stood in the distance and didn't look here, he couldn't help but lean into Ailang's ear and said softly: "If there is a next life, I will be my husband's wife." Ailang felt a shock and moved beyond all his heart. He held Huang Wudie's slender hand tightly with his palm, and his other hand couldn't help but hugged Huang Wudie's slender waist. Huang Wudie was a woman after all, with a thin face and hurriedly pushed and rejected Ailang angrily: "It's so embarrassing in public! Let go!"

Ailang let go of her slender waist, but did not let go of her slender hands.
