Chapter 711: Yuan Tan Attacks Hulao Pass
On the second day of heavy snow, Wu Shun led the Wuling army to retreat.
Zhongmu was in charge of Fazheng, and Wenpeng led 10,000 soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion to guard it.
Changshe left Dongfangqiang, and Zhang Liao led the Suzaku Legion to garrison.
After this battle, the Zhuque Legion was relatively complete and there was no blow. So Wu Shun transferred some soldiers of the Zhuque Legion to retreat with the army.
When Wu Shun retreated to Xingyang, he received Zhang Xiu's request for help.
Yuan Tan took advantage of the war between the Wuling Army and the Cao Army and sent troops to attack Hulao Pass. The Wuling Army led by Zhang Xiu was too severe and needed support in urgent need of support.
"Yuan Zhi, what is this Yuan Tan's ability?"
Yuan Tan has no glorious deeds in history, so I paid less attention to it.
"Lord, Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son, and he is quite majestic. However, Yuan Shao has always loved his youngest son Yuan Shang and is relatively neglected to him. He is a mediocre person in his ability!"
Xu Shu directly gave himself an opinion of Yuan Tan. In his opinion, Yuan Tan is not as powerful as his father Yuan Shao.
"That is, a mediocre person, why dare to attack my Hulao Pass? What is your intention?"
Wu Shun really didn't understand what Yuan Tan was thinking. At this time, he didn't try to compete with his two brothers for territory and what benefits could he get when he went to Hulao Pass.
Do you really think that the Wuling Army was discovering it with Cao's army, and there was no defense in the rear?
"Maybe it's blinded."
Xu Shu thought about it for a long time, but this was the answer.
There were many strategists around Yuan Shao. At this time, the aristocratic families all paid attention to orderly old and young, and there were still a large number of people who supported Yuan Tan.
"Fishing in troubled waters? This winter..."
Wu Shun was speechless, and Yuan Tan suddenly sent troops to Hulao Pass, which was indeed incomprehensible.
It would be fine if you can't understand it yourself, but even Xu Shu couldn't see his intentions clearly, which is a bit intriguing.
In Hebei, Wu Shun was worried that there was no excuse to go and grab it, but Yuan Tan bumped into it at this time.
"Qua!" Wu Shun shouted.
"Lord, the last one is here!" Qu A replied.
"So quickly assist Hulao Pass!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
...
The Yuan family's forces were divided into three parts, and the threat to him was not that great. Therefore, Wu Shun appointed Qu'a Ling's Guard Camp to support him.
In the field battle, Yuan's army, which even Cao's army could not defeat, was the opponent of the personal guard camp?
Qu Ah, Wu Shun was relieved, and Xu Shu had no objection.
"Lord, will the second general and Zilong be sent back to Yizhou?"
Xu Shu asked.
The weather in the north is too cold and the climate is not as good as that in Yizhou. It is best for the injured to return to Yizhou. This is Xu Shu's suggestion.
"Well, go back to Yizhou. After Yuan Tan retreats, he can arrange for the wounded soldiers to rush back first."
Wu Shun replied.
In winter, the princes generally do not launch wars. Because of the severe cold, soldiers need more supplies and cold-proof equipment. In addition, heavy snow in winter blocking the road, it is difficult to do a good job of logistics support. Therefore, there are very few large-scale battles in winter.
The Wuling Army's supply route has been far away. It takes Zhongmu, Changshe and other places to deliver food from Hanzhong, and it consumes a lot of money on the road.
But just as Wu Shun was about to stop the army, Yuan Tan jumped out. No matter what aspect he was considering, Wu Shun felt that he had to beat him up! Let the people in the world know who they want to pick peaches and get the right choice!
...
Zhang Xiu was transferred back to the rear by Wu Shun, and was originally very depressed. He was wondering if it was the sequelae of surrendering to Cao Cao that affected Wu Shun's trust in him.
After all, he surrendered to Cao Cao, but killed his general and nephew.
In fact, Zhang Xiu really wronged Wu Shun. Hulao Pass is very important to the Wuling Army.
That's their way back!
Because all the generals were on the front line, Wu Shun felt that it was inappropriate to guard such an important pass, so he tuned Zhang Xiu and his troops back.
The battle with Cao's army had just ended, and Hulaoguan really started fighting.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiu defeated Yuan Jun with his majestic and tall Hulao Pass, but he was a little embarrassed afterwards, and actually led his troops out of the pass to kill Yuan Jun. Unexpectedly, there were strong soldiers under Yuan Tan's command, so he directly defeated him back to Hulao Pass.
If he hadn't retreated in time, Hulao Pass might have been lost.
Because of this carelessness, Zhang Xiu had to ask Wu Shun for help.
...
The personal guard camp had three horsemen and three horses rushing to the Huzhu. When they arrived, Yuan Tan was carrying out this new round of attack!
Under Hulao Pass, there were sounds of killing. Yuan's army was quite good at siege. However, Zhang Xiu's tough and tough defense at the gate made Yuan's army no progress.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves rumbled behind Yuan Jun...
Yuan Tan led his troops alone during this attack. He had heard of the power of the Wuling Army's cavalry.
"The rear army, line up to stop them!"
Yuan Tan ordered that he wanted to form an advantageous infantry to resist.
However, he didn't see clearly, and the cavalry rushed towards him.
"The Wuling Army's personal guard camp!"
"Oh my God! It's that steel monster!"
"How can I stop this..."
Yuan Jun was afraid before the battle. Looking at the charge of the guard camp, their hearts also jumped.
"The eldest son, the cavalry behind is the personal guard camp of the Wuling Army."
A personal soldier report.
"So what about the personal guard camp? Stop this young master and get rewards when he captures Hulao Pass!"
Yuan Tan said boldly.
He didn't look at the guard, otherwise he would see the helplessness on the guard's face. Is it so easy to stop the Wuling Army with the elite cavalry?
Soon, Yuan Tan got the answer!
The formation was arranged to intercept Yuan Jun's gun formation in the personal guard camp, but was shattered by Qu A's charge. Yuan Jun ran away with his head in his arms, crying for his father and mother!
The personal guard camp was very fierce and rushed to Yuan Tan’s general flag! He cut it over and Yuan’s army was defeated!
Yuan Tan was stunned when he saw the Kaiwei camp dispersing his gun formation with a destructive force.
He always believed that Yuan's army was the most elite army in the world. Even if he lost to Cao Cao, it was because the Wuchao granary was burned.
In fact, Yuan Tan was right to think so. If Cao Cao had not burned Yuan’s army’s food and grass, then as long as Yuan Shao was willing to fight the war of attrition, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to bear it.
Unfortunately, there are not so many things in the world if things have happened, then we can only recall them and cannot be redeemed.
"Telection, retreat!"
Yuan Tan was in a hurry and still remembered to order the retreat. He asked Yuan's army, who was attacking Hulao Pass, to retreat and escort him to escape back to Hebei.
Zhang Xiu had long seen the situation outside. Wu Shun sent a personal guard camp to support him, which made the only grudge in his heart dissipate.
When the personal guard camp comes, there will be no problem with Hulao Pass. Not only will there be no problem, he can also fight out and kill to the fullest.
"Open the door and fight out!"
When he thought about it, he immediately started to do it! After Yuan's army retreated, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered a pursuit.
There was a personal guard camp outside and was chaotic, and reinforcements could not retreat safely.
"Go away! Get out!"
Zhang Xiu also came out, and Yuan Tan was a little panicked this time. He thought to himself that he would not have been ruthless and would have run over to fight the Huzhuo Pass if he had known it.
It was originally intended to prove himself, but now it was chased and beaten by the Wuling Army.
