Chapter 27: Reversal of the Army
The two eunuchs led the soldiers to the city gate to greet the messenger. When they saw the messenger, they all bowed and saluted with extremely respectful expressions. Wu Tong clasped his fists and said, "We are waiting for your envoy! I wonder if your envoy has brought it.
Duke Yuan's order?" "This..." The messenger looked around, looking absent-minded.
The messenger suddenly jumped off his horse and ran towards the opposite side, shouting: "Lü Bu is here!..."
The two prefects did not react for a moment. At this moment, the messenger who wanted to escape was pierced by the spear thrown by Zhang Lang and was nailed to the ground.
Everyone was shocked and looked at the general wearing a black cloak. Wu Tong asked sharply: "Who are you?"
Zhang Lang took off his cloak. The two eunuchs screamed: "Lu Bu!?"
"Do it!" Zhang Lang shouted, and went to kill the two prefects first, followed by eight hundred cavalry, and the sound of killing suddenly started! Zhang Lang waved the Fangtian Painted Halberd, and killed them with one blow.
Xiang Taishou's head. At the same time, eight hundred cavalry had already killed the guard soldiers until they were completely defeated!
The surrounding armies were alerted and rushed towards the city gate.
Wu Tong ran up the stairs on the inside of the city wall, and Zhang Lang rode towards him. The soldiers and several trusted generals met Zhang Lang and tried to intercept him. Zhang Lang raised his horse and raised his halberd, picked off several powerful generals, killed the soldiers, and caught up with Wu Tong.
When Wu Tong heard the sound of horse hoofbeats behind him, he was frightened. He turned around in a hurry and saw that Lu Bu had leaped in front of him. He was so frightened that he was scared to death! In a flash of cold light, Fang Tian's painted halberd instantly pierced Wu Tong's chest, Zhang
The waves picked him up, and everyone around him was shocked when they saw this scene!
Zhang Lang threw Wu Tong's body off the city wall. Looking back, he saw that tens of thousands of soldiers had surrounded the city gate! Eight hundred cavalry were confronting the opponent's thousands of troops at the main entrance! Zhang Langyang
He said in a voice: "I am Lu Bu! Do you want to offend me?"
The army under the city immediately became commotion, because Lü Bu's official position was General Zuo and was responsible for the entire military affairs of Bingzhou. Strictly speaking, the army of Bingzhou must obey Lu Bu's orders!
Zang Ba roared angrily: "A few months ago, my general led his cavalry in a bloody battle on the grassland and rescued your fellow villagers and relatives! Three thousand cavalry left the fortress, but only 800 soldiers returned! Is this how you repay my general?!"
The hearts of all the soldiers were shocked. A junior high school officer threw away his weapon, knelt down, raised his head and clasped his fists and said: "My sister, my father was saved by the general! I am willing to follow the general to the death!" All the soldiers bowed down one after another to express their willingness to follow Lu Bu.
When several close associates of Dingxiang Prefect and Yanmen Prefect saw this, they could only follow the trend.
Zhang Lang looked at the thousands of troops kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had actually prepared for the worst. If he couldn't capture the two prefects' armies as planned, he would lead his cavalry to break out of the siege and fight with them.
Zhang Liao met up, and then broke out of the encirclement as quickly as possible and headed south back to Chang'an. Fortunately, the outcome was perfect!
Zhang Lang ordered the 60,000 troops in the city to assemble immediately, and divided the 60,000 troops into six groups and gave them to Zang Ba and other six generals to command. He then ordered Hou Cheng to report to Zhang Liao. Hou Cheng did not appoint Zhang Liao as a general but asked him to
I was very dissatisfied when I went to run errands, but I didn't say anything.
…
Early the next morning, Yuan Shao, who was lying on the cave, was awakened by the shouts outside. He quickly sat up and called out: "Here comes someone!"
Tian Feng hurried into the tent, clasped his fists and reported: "My lord, Zhang Liao led the army out in full force, arrayed in front of the camp and shouted curses!" Yuan Shao put on his armor and tied his battle robe with the help of two beautiful maids, and walked out of the tent.
Zhang, Tian Feng followed closely behind.
Climbing the watchtower and looking into the distance, I saw Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops forming a strict battle formation. A general wearing heavy armor and carrying a sword stood in front of the formation, majestic.
Yuan Shao was surprised, "Is this person Zhang Liao?"
Tian Feng responded: "That's right! This man is the most brave general under Lu Bu's command, Zhang Liao! A few months ago, he followed Lu Bu out of the fortress and traveled thousands of miles across the grassland! He has courage that no man can match!"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and asked the generals standing below the watchtower: "Who among you dares to fight?"
Yan Liang shouted: "I'm going to take his head!" Then he rode out. At the gate of the village, Yan Liang galloped out on a yellow gelding horse and went straight to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's eyes showed excitement and he urged his horse.
He went up to meet him. Bang! When the two horses met, the two swords made a heavy move!
The two of them each ran dozens of steps, turned their horses' heads, and charged towards each other again.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but become nervous and shouted to the drummer: "Beat the drum!"
Dong Dong Dong...! The war drums sounded loudly! The soldiers on both sides shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky!
Zhang Liao and Yan Liang clashed back and forth for more than ten rounds, and then they got into a fierce battle! The two roared like thunder, and the two swords kept hitting each other making loud noises! There was no winner or loser for more than thirty rounds in a row!
Just as Yuan Shao and others were concentrating on the battle between Yan Liang and Zhang Liao, a huge army appeared on the east side of Dazhai.
When Tian Feng saw the army, he showed an expression of joy and hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, look! The army of the two prefects has arrived! We can immediately order the army to cover up! We will definitely annihilate Lu Bu's army in one fell swoop!"
Yuan Shaoshen thought so and immediately ordered the three armies to attack!
The gate of the village opened wide, and Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 people came out and charged towards Lu Bu's army with great momentum.
Zhang Liao quickly got rid of Yan Liang, rushed back to the formation, and commanded his army to fight!
The cavalry was like a tide, and the arrows were like flying locusts! Yuan Shaojun's cavalry hit Lu Bu's army's defense line first! Then a large number of infantry troops also attacked! Lu Bu's army struggled to resist in the face of superior enemy forces, and the battle situation was very difficult for Lu Bu's army.
unfavorable!
At this moment, the 60,000-strong army from the east was rushing towards the battlefield at full speed!
Tian Feng, who was standing on the watchtower, suddenly realized that something was wrong. How could the 60,000-strong army attack directly towards the flank of his own army? They should attack towards the flank of Lu Bu's army?
Then he saw a figure. A huge flaming red rabbit horse, Tang Ni Jia with a beast face and a swallowing head, Fang Tian painted a halberd, Lu Bu!?
Tian Feng's expression changed drastically. He ignored the questions in his heart and shouted in a panic, "It's not good! It's Lu Bu! My lord, quickly order the army to retreat!"
Yuan Shao hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet and felt confused. Tian Feng pointed at Lu Bu in the distance and shouted: "My lord, look, isn't that Lu Bu?"
Yuan Shao quickly looked in the direction of Tian Feng's finger, and sure enough he saw Lu Bu. He couldn't help but be startled, "What's going on?"
"Lord, order the withdrawal quickly! It's too late!"
Yuan Shao came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal. However, it was too late now. Zhang Lang had already led an army to launch a fierce attack on Yuan Shao's army from the rear!
Yuan Shaojun did not expect that the original reinforcements would attack him, and there was chaos immediately. Zhang Liao took the opportunity to lead the army to counterattack! Yuan Shaojun was defeated and hurriedly ran towards Dazhai!
Lu Bu's army covered up the enemy and rushed into Dazhai. Yuan Shao's army could not resist, so he abandoned Dazhai and fled southward in panic! Lu Bu's army pursued and killed Yuan Shao's army all the way, leaving corpses of Yuan Shao's army scattered all over the field. Yuan Shao escaped thanks to several fierce generals who risked their lives to save him.
