Chapter 231? Dead End
"I've suffered!!!"
On the south bank, Dong Zhuo's army camp was empty, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled infantry guards. Hua Xiong and his 10,000 elite cavalry were already waiting on the shore to cross the river.
The character "Hua" flag is floating continuously with the river wind.
Hua Xiong stood up and looked at the changes on the North Bank in a daze.
Even if Hua Xiong is incompetent, he knows that the situation is not very good now.
"No matter what, we have 70,000 infantry troops. We can use war to support war, so we can rush across Hedong and Henei County. However, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang still let us 70,000 infantry cross the river, and ordered the navy to cross the Yellow River. We must have some support and a backup."
"No matter what the support is, they must have wanted to eat our 70,000 infantry. If the 70,000 infantry is gone!!!"
"Damn it. I knew that Niu Fu would not have a good ending as the head coach. If my brother was there, we generals would not shake his heart even if they were clamoring."
"Fubo has a great reputation in the sea."
Hua Xiong was not interested in Niu Fu's life and death at all, but he was very concerned about Hu Zhen and Fancheng's life and death. In addition, if the army collapsed, the situation would inevitably change.
Now that Dong Zhuo has finally stabilized his basic market, does he want it again?
"Come here. Send someone to Luoyang immediately and report the news to the court to know." Hua Xiong wanted to fly over immediately. If the infantry and the cavalry cooperated, it would definitely be a big wing. But now he couldn't fly over, so he could only turn his head and order his personal soldiers.
"promise."
The personal soldier responded to the promise and immediately selected a team of people and galloped towards Luoyang.
"Damn it, you have to hold on, Niu Fu." Hua Xiong turned his head and looked at the North Bank again, his face looking extremely ugly.
.............
North Shore.
In the central army's tent, with the gathering of news, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others' faces became increasingly ugly.
The information has been scrutinized very accurately.
Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang merged with the Bai Bo army for 70,000 people. Currently, there are 120,000 people in Hedong County.
The garrison of Hanoi County is empty, but with their feet, it is probably difficult to reach Hanoi County. Within five days, they will be hungry and the army will collapse.
And as Hu Zhen expected, these 120,000 troops only guarded five cities.
It should be noted that there are twenty cities in Hedong County, with a population of hundreds of thousands. Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang forced the people to migrate into five cities to guard them, and each city was set up with at least 10,000 elite soldiers to guard them.
All the rest of the places are unmanned lands.
Although they had 70,000 elite soldiers, they had no food. The army would collapse within five days. Unless they led their troops to conquer a city, obtain food in the city, and provide supplies.
But this is obviously not easy.
Death place, this Hanoi County is a dead place. It was designed by Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang, and their burial place.
"Hmph. There are only two ways now. Either we lead our troops to surrender Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang. Our family in Luoyang were killed by our lords. Or we fight to the death. We hold 70,000 soldiers. Don't you dare to fight?"
Fan Chou suddenly overturned the table in front of him, stood up suddenly, pulled out the big sword from his waist, looked around at the generals present, and said in a stern manner.
Although he and Hu Zhen gave up the pass and did not dare to fight Sun Jian, the situation had collapsed at that time, and it was helpless to abandon the pass and leave.
Fan Chou's courage is still greater than that of all the generals present.
"That's right. How can we surrender with 70,000 soldiers in our hands? Now we can only fight to the death." Hu Zhen focused his head and stood up suddenly.
The generals looked at each other and stood up together. As for Niu Fu, no one was born. The general who could win battles had great prestige, and the general who could not win battles was of course nonsense.
"Let's go and attack Wenxi City."
Fan Chou held the sword at his waist and strode out of the tent. He turned over the horse and led his troops out of the camp with the generals, brought the few baggages to Wenxi City.
As for Niu Fu, of course he did not dare to stay alone and did not want to surrender, so he could only follow the large army in shame.
Anyi City!
Before the imperial court had been in chaos, Bingzhou was occupied by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans such as Zhang Yan and Bai Bo's army, in order to prevent these bandits from moving south.
The imperial court appointed Ding Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou and stationed in Henei County to the east. Together with Hedong County, it formed the northern defense line.
The city of Anyi was not only tall and strong, but also had a lot of food. Zhang Yang led his troops to occupy the city of Anyi, claiming to be the governor of Hedong County, where he recruited troops.
Now Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and Bai Bo’s army have 80,000 troops, and are stationed in this city. The city has no less than 200,000 people gathered around.
For a time, Anyi City became prosperous.
County magistrate's mansion, in the hall.
After receiving the news, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang summoned all the generals under their command, the commander of Bai Bo's army, to discuss together.
The two sat side by side in the main position in the north, with the commanders of Bai Bo's army such as Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, and the last one were generals such as Yang Chou.
"Hahahahaha. The spy came to report, Niu Fu and others led their troops to attack Wenxi." Zhang Yang laughed and said to everyone.
"Hahaha."
Everyone present laughed loudly. The situation is clear now, and Dong Zhuojun has become an isolated army and has no food to eat, so he can only chew his bones.
"These 70,000 Dong Zhuo's infantry army are really elite. Fancheng and Hu Zhen are all brave generals who are good at fighting. But they can't hold on for a few days. We can conquer the crowd and defend them without fighting. We can immediately send someone to inform the guards of Wenxi City, so that they can be more energetic and have to guard for seven or eight days."
Bai Bo's general Han Xian was very calm and looked up at Zhang Yang, saying.
Zhang Yang was about to nod, but then he woke up and asked Wang Kuang: "Mr. Jie, what do you think?"
Wang Kuang designed Niu Fu to trick him into thinking. Now in Hedong and Henoi County, Wang Kuang has become the IQ ceiling.
Anyway, Zhang Yang felt that everything should be asked about Wang Kuang's opinion.
Wang Kuang pinched his beard and thought for a while, then looked up and said with a smile: "Marrior Han is right. We should send someone to Wenxi City immediately to let the defenders guard well. But I have a plan that can be more wings."
"Oh. What good plans do you have?" Everyone's eyes lit up, and Han Xian asked hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Mr. Han is right. Niu Fu and others are definitely not a small matter. We can gather 3,000 cavalry and harass them during the day. If they fight, we retreat. At night, we order these 3,000 cavalry to roar and harass them, so that they can't be at peace day and night. Under normal circumstances, it takes a day for them to walk to Wenxi County. We let them walk for two days, or even three days on the road. And such harassment will inevitably cause their morale to collapse. Even if they arrive outside Wenxi City, they will inevitably be like a shrimp that is hard to organize an effective siege. When the food is eaten up, they should be dispersed."
Wang Kuang pinched his beard, and a calm smile flashed in his eyes.
"The prince is really a clever plan."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they exclaimed.
Zhang Yang also laughed and said, "Okay, my general Yang Chou can do this."
"I will obey the order." Yang Chou was also overjoyed. This was a waste of military achievements. He quickly stood up and bowed to salute.
Yang Chou was also famous, and no one here had any objections. Then they gathered all the spies and cavalry, and handed them over to Yang Chou for use.
This is also another great benefit to block Huaxiong's cavalry from the south bank. If Huaxiong's 10,000 elite cavalry were here, they would not dare to send Yang Chou to die.
"kill!!!!"
The north city gate opened with a bang. Under the flag of "Yang", Yang Chou lit a big gun in his hand and rode his horse to kill him first. Behind him were three thousand iron cavalry, rushing out like a scattered sea of rushes.
Yang Chou believed that the cavalry came and went like the wind, and there was no ambush in the plain in Hedong County, so he simply did not send spies and rushed to Niu Fu and others to go to the large formation of infantry.
Along the way, they met spies and whistle riders set up by Niu Fu and others. These people immediately returned to their formation like frightened birds.
Niu Fu and others in their own lineup.
Their 70,000 troops were also in order to advance. General Fan Chou was the vanguard and led his troops forward, Hu Zhen cut off the rear, Niu Fu and the other generals led their troops to the center.
They had no supplies and carts, so they could only carry food with weak soldiers and war horses.
Fortunately, the food can only be eaten for five days at most, and it is not heavy.
There was no need for spies to repay. When the generals heard the tremors on the ground, they knew that a certain scale of cavalry was coming.
"Hurry up, set up a formation to prepare for battle." Fan Chou, who was in front, changed his face slightly. He was not sure how many cavalry the other side had. They didn't even have a large cart for the baggage, and they were inevitably weak in the face of cavalry.
"Wow wow wow wow!!!" With Fan Chou's order, the thousands of elite soldiers under his command immediately changed into a square formation.
The spearmen were outside, and the crossbowmen were in the middle, while the weak soldiers carrying food hid in the center.
The same was true for the other generals. After hearing the sound of horse hooves, they immediately formed a formation to protect themselves.
Not long after, the three thousand cavalry under Yang Chou appeared on the horizon in the east. Fan Chou looked at the cavalry of such a small size and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
There are only a few thousand people, and they are fighting against their 70,000 infantry soldiers? It is simply a dream.
However, Fan Chou's face soon changed. He found that the opponent's cavalry was not rushing towards him in a daze, but just staying at a safe distance and shaking and watching.
"The purpose of these bastards is not to fight with us, but to drag us down." Fan Chou bit his big yellow teeth and almost smashed his teeth.
It's really a mistake, every step is wrong.
One step is frustrated, one step is frustrated.
If there were 10,000 elite cavalry from Hua Xiong here, why not be afraid of this small three thousand gangsters?
