Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 345 Night Attack ([-])

Ma Wan tried his best to urge his soldiers to retreat towards the gate of the village. Although he was reckless, he also had some combat experience. He knew that once the gate of the village was blocked, all of them would be roasted to pieces.

However, Ma Chao had already prepared, how could he let the enemy easily withdraw from the encirclement of the fire.

At the moment when the second round of bows and arrows stopped, hundreds of pawns hidden on both sides rushed out of the gate of the village shouting war horns.

However, these hundreds of people did not go to guard the gate of the village, because they did not hold spears and spears in their hands, but dry branches and weeds.

Hundreds of people threw all the combustibles in front of the gate of the village, and soon the branches and dry grass outside the gate of the village were piled up as high as three people.

Another round of rockets flew out, and this time the rain of arrows aimed at the branches and weeds in front of the gate of the village.

The raging fire burned down the gate of the village, and at the same time blocked the retreat of Han Sui's soldiers and horses.

Seeing that the back road was blocked, Han Suibing, who had already lost all morale, had to fight on his own, looking for an area with less fire and trying to climb out of the camp to escape.

It's just that Han Suibing didn't have the heart to guard against the merciless arrow rain above his head and the rising fire around him, and a large number of soldiers lost their lives in an instant.

And those who survived by chance completely lost the courage to continue fighting.

It is true that he has not met his opponent head-on, and he has lost more than half of it. There is no suspense in this kind of battle.

Fortunately, the fire was too fierce. After a wooden wall of the camp was burned down, Han Suibing trapped in the "crematorium" provided a way to retreat.

"Major General, let's hurry up and don't let that group of enemy soldiers run away!" A school lieutenant of Ma's Army reminded.

After hearing this, Ma Chao shrugged confidently and imitated the tone of his master Liu Yu: "If the poor don't chase after them, let them run away for a while! Let's put out the fire first, so as not to bring unnecessary disasters to the surrounding villages."

Ma Chao didn't intend to let go of the fleeing soldiers, it was just because Zhong Yao had already led his troops around the only way back to the city and made an ambush, so Ma Chao didn't worry about how far the other party could escape.

…………

At the same time, there was also the sound of fighting outside the east gate of Luoyang.

The enemy general guarding the east gate is Zhang Heng, ranked fifth among the "Eight Horsemen of the Banner".

Zhang Heng was more "smart" than Ma Wan who was guarding the south gate. He deeply believed that the safety of the city gate was more important, so after receiving the order to go out of the city and fight back, he only assembled three or four thousand soldiers to launch a surprise attack.

It's just that the self-confidence of a wise man is true self-confidence. So-called self-confidence like Zhang Heng's will only appear blind and stupid.

You must know that the Habayashi Army besieging the east gate of Luoyang is the soldiers of the Feng Liu Battalion who came from Hulao Pass. The 8000 men in the whole army are all elite soldiers, and the generals in command are the deputy general Han Dang of Hulao Pass. .

Han Dang was originally Sun Jian's general, but he wanted to stay in the Habayashi Army with all his heart after he had personally experienced Liu Yu's strength.

So when Sun Jian fled with Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, Han Dang was not bewitched by them, but chose to continue to serve Liu Yu.

But he is a surrendered general after all, and the previous lord and companion defected again, which made Han Dang not know how to deal with himself for a while.

A few days ago, Han Dang suddenly received an order to lead troops to besiege the east gate of Luoyang, and Jia Xu, the captain of cavalry, specifically told him that this is the general ordered by the lord Liu Yu himself.

Hearing this news, Han Dang was shocked. Originally, he was still troubled by his inability to show his loyalty, but who would have thought that the lord Liu Yu not only did not blame Sun Jian for his escape, but even entrusted him with the heavy task of besieging the North Gate of Luoyang? into his hands.

A scholar who dies for a confidant will die for a master.

So Han Dang let go of all his worries and decided to complete the task well in order to repay the trust of the lord.

In history, Han Dang was one of the "Twelve Tiger Officials of the Eastern Wu". force value, so it is more than enough to command a small army.

The soldiers of the Habayashi Army of the Sixth Battalion of Baqianfeng blocked the way to build a camp. Although there was nothing new about it, it was better than being stable.

In addition, there is a road outside the east gate, and the surrounding area is endless, and Han Dang has also widely spread hidden lines for scouting, so as soon as Zhang Heng led his troops out, Han Dang immediately responded.

When the water comes, the soil will cover it, and the soldiers will block it.

Han Dang has 85 force, 80 command, and 75 intelligence, while the enemy general Zhang Heng has only 76 force, and his ability to command troops cannot be compared with Han Dang. As for his intelligence, he is just like the south gate guard Ma Wan. Didn't even reach the pass line.

Comparing the combat strength of the soldiers of the two sides, the Sixth Feng Battalion has long been reborn under Jia Xu's training, and has a strength of 4000 people, while the opponent is the former Feixiong Army with unstable military morale, and only [-] people.

There were not many chances for tricks in the battle on the flat ground. The two sides set up a battle to fight each other. After only half an hour of fighting, the balance of victory naturally favored the Habayashi Army.

Seeing the unfavorable situation of the battle, Zhang Heng had the idea of ​​​​retiring his troops, but Han Dang wanted to do meritorious service, so why would he easily lead his troops to escape from the battlefield?

In this way, Han Dang became more courageous as he killed more and more, while Zhang Heng didn't dare to retreat, for fear that if he was not careful, his entire army would be wiped out.

You must know that the army is defeated like a mountain, and once it retreats, it will be an uncontrollable situation. Zhang Heng didn't want to lose too much force in his hands. Seeing that the morale could last for a while, he hurriedly called the soldiers beside him.

"Hurry up and go back to the east gate to get the rescuers, I'll want your head if it's too late!"

Zhang Heng didn't intend to mobilize the army, but he never thought that the opponent not only detected the sneak attack in advance, but also used all his troops to meet it. He only hated that he was too hesitant before. If he had known this, he should have brought more troops to rob the camp. up.

…………

The victory of the East Gate was imminent, even if reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to save the field, and the ambush outside the South Gate of Luoyang was still going on.

When Ma Wan and Cheng Gongying had just escaped three miles away with thousands of defeated soldiers, they were ambushed again.

Several rounds of arrow rain seemed to be blessed with mana in the deafening battle roar, and the lethality was greatly increased. The old Qi Mawan of "Qi Ben Ba Qi" also died in this arrow rain.

Immediately after Zhong Yao commanded five thousand elites to launch a siege, they first encountered a counter-surveillance attack, and then encountered an ambush. Northeast direction.

This fleeing Cheng Gongying not only abandoned three thousand rout soldiers, but also abandoned his lord Han Sui.

The rout soldiers scattered, but there was no safe way to return to the city. At this moment, Ma Chao and his men also rushed to the battlefield, so the siege battle came to an end smoothly.
