Chapter 421 Bad temper Hao Zhao

As more and more Zhang Yangjun surrendered, the fierce fighting at the top of the city guarding Beiguan gradually calmed down.

"Abandon the city wall, attack inward, and seize the city gate."

Now that the fighting on the city wall has stopped, the next step is to fight in and capture this pass.

The momentum along the way was overwhelming, and wherever the soldiers of the Tiger Lie Army went, all Zhang Yangjun surrendered.

"Crunch."

The city gate of Hubeiguan slowly opened. The opening of the city gate basically symbolized that Hubeiguan had completely fallen into Yuan Shu's hands.

"Enter the city."

Yuan Shu pointed his long sword, and the 10,000 advance troops were in front, the guards were in the middle, and the 10,000 militiamen were in the rear. The 30,000 troops advanced towards Hubeiguan.

In the evening, Gao Lan and Zhao Yun led thousands of deserters back to Hubeiguan, but their faces were full of frustration.

"Zilong, Boyu, why are you so depressed?"

Seeing the two people returning, Yuan Shu frowned unconsciously.

"My lord, Zhao Yun did not complete his mission. Only after we encircled him did we find that Zhang Yang had escaped."

"Haha, what did I think it was? Didn't I just run away to show off? It's okay."

Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, Yuan Shu couldn't help but laugh.

"Lord."

Although Yuan Shu said this, Zhao Yun still looked frustrated.

"Okay, Gongda, let's talk about the situation of this battle."

What needs to be said has been said, and now it’s time to summarize.

"Lord, we benefited from the power of Scholar No. 3 in this battle. The casualties were not as high as expected. The Tiger Army lost 1,200 people, seriously injured 200 people, lightly injured 2,000 people, and the militia lost 500 people.

200 people were injured, and there were no casualties in other armies. Nine thousand of Zhang Yang’s army were killed and 23,000 were captured. It can be said to be a great victory.”

Xun You read out the battle report.

"Even so, more than a thousand people died in battle, hey."

War is cruel, especially siege warfare. If Yuan Shu did not have the epoch-making trebuchet in his hands, if he wanted to capture the North Pass, the casualties would have been at least ten times higher.

"Military advisor, I want to know if there is a man named Hao Zhao among the prisoners this time."

Gao Lan suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke to Xun You.

"Hao Zhao? Is there such a person?"

Hearing this name, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be startled? Isn't Hao Zhao a member of Boss Cao? How come he is under Zhang Yang? Or is he a different person with the same fate?

"General Boyu, you are talking about Hao Zhao, the former guard of Beiguan, right? He is indeed among the prisoners."

Hearing Gao Lan's inquiry, Xun You nodded at him.

"Lord, I want this young general."

Gao Lan was overjoyed to know that Hao Zhao had been captured. He had a very good temper towards this wild boy.

"No hurry, Gongda."

Yuan Shu smiled slightly. He wanted to confirm first whether this Hao Zhao was the number one city defender in the Three Kingdoms in later generations.

"exist."

"Bring Hao Zhao to the hall, I want to see this city defender."

"promise,"

After a while, two sergeants escorted a young man with his hands tied into the meeting hall.

"Open the Sky Eye Technique."

Looking at the young Hao Zhao, Yuan Shu chose to open his eyes directly. After all, he was naive and had no ability to be really useful.

As soon as the Heavenly Eye Technique was activated, Hao Zhao's beam of light appeared directly in Yuan Shu's eyes.

"Blue with purple in it, even if he is not Hao Zhao, he is still a usable general, and considering that he is still young, he will definitely become stronger in a few years."

Yuan Shu determined Hao Zhao's nature in his heart, and he could use it as a general.

"Boy, we meet again."

Seeing Hao Zhao coming, Gao Lan's eyes lit up.

"Huh, I didn't lose to you, I just lost to the coward Zhang Yang."

At this point, Hao Zhao still looked unconvinced. To be honest, the situation of protecting Beiguan and running away was just the straw that broke the camel's back. With the heavy armored infantry of the Tiger Army on the wall, the battle situation was basically determined.

"Hao Zhao, is this really the case? Pat your conscience, do you really think Zhang Yang can survive by protecting Beiguan if he doesn't run away?"

Yuan Shu looked at Hao Zhao. He was at this age when he was the second child and I was the third child. If a child is naughty, he should be severely beaten by reality.

"I don't know if I can stand it or not, but what I know is that if Zhang Yang doesn't run away, Hu Beiguan will never collapse so easily. I and my brothers will definitely fight to the end. Even if we lose, you won't be any better.

go."

"Is it really?"

Yuan Shu smiled slightly and questioned again.

"yes."

Hao Zhao nodded heavily.

"How about we make a bet?"

Yuan Shu also liked Hao Zhao's stubborn temper. Only such a persevering character could lead to his astonishing achievements in the future. However, Yuan Shu had many ways to deal with such a child, such as the most direct bet.

"A bet? What kind of bet?"

Hearing that Yuan Shu wanted to make a bet, Hao Zhao couldn't help but frown.

"What kind of bet is this? I'll give you a place of your choice for 500 people to fight against 500 fierce tiger soldiers. If you can hold on for an hour or less than half an hour, you will win. How about that?"

"What should I say if I win, and what should I say if I lose?"

Yuan Shu's so-called bet made Hao Zhaoyi angry. Who should he look down on? Even if he couldn't beat five hundred against five hundred, he couldn't last for half an hour.

"If you win, including you, don't let all of the 20,000 captives go, but if you lose, how about recognizing me as your lord and being my master?"

"Okay, I'll make this bet. The five hundred soldiers and horses will be sent by my soldiers to defend the city. Where is the location? The school grounds will do. I want to see if the so-called Jizhou soldiers and horses are the best in the world."

"Okay, Wen Chou, you choose someone."

"promise."

Yuan Shu looked at Hao Zhao and couldn't help but reveal a fox-like smile. He was afraid that if you didn't take the bait, you wouldn't be able to escape if you took the bait.

In a short time, Hao Zhao had already stood on the school field with his 500 soldiers and horses, and opposite them were 500 soldiers of the Tiger Army in neat armor.

"Hao Zhao, are your troops and horses like this?"

Looking at Hao Zhao's beggar-like defense of the Beiguan garrison, Wen Chou couldn't help but frown.

"That's how we are. If you're afraid, it's still too late to admit defeat."

Hao Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard Wen Chou's words, but then he showed a confident look.

"Admit defeat? It doesn't exist, I am a soldier of the Tiger Army."

Wen Chou looked amused. The fierce tiger army he trained had really never lost to anyone in Jizhou except Yan Liang's Polu army. Of course, this refers to infantry combat, not counting Zhao Yun and Gao Lan's cavalry.

"promise."

Wen Chou gave an order, and the five hundred Tiger Soldiers shouted in unison, and then began to help each other remove their armor.

After a while, five hundred Tiger Army soldiers wearing civilian clothes and holding swords and shields appeared in front of Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao couldn't help but frown when he saw the Tiger Army in front of him. For some reason, his original confidence became less strong the moment the Tiger Army took off its armor.

"Okay, the time has come to decide your future, let's begin."
