Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 436

At this time, the ordinary Cao soldiers around Xia Houyuan had all run away.

After Xia Houyuan committed suicide, there were only three armored soldiers around Xia Houyuan looking at Xia Houyuan with sad expressions on their faces. Suddenly, they all cut off the neck with the ring knife in their hands, and shouted in their mouths, "General, we are here!" accompany!"

This scene also looks tragic.

"Hmph, that's a bit of loyalty! Come here, so that you can save their corpses, and follow a certain family to surrender other Cao soldiers!"

Pang Yan watched coldly from the side, but snorted coldly. Of course, Pang Yan didn't care about what Xia Houyuan said about someone taking revenge.

Then Pang Yan turned his head and ordered his soldiers to collect the corpses of Xiahouyuan and Xiahouba, and it didn't matter that the corpses of the three armored soldiers stayed by Xiahouyuan's side for the time being.

The death of Xia Houyuan meant that the army Cao Cao sent to Nanyang was defeated.

Now there are at least 5000 Cao troops in Bowangpo, but all Cao troops have fallen into an ambush trap. The six or seven thousand Cao troops led by Che Zhou and Le Jin are also in Zhuzhou at this moment. Surrounded by the ambush army, Wei was trapped in a desperate situation. They actually led their troops back into the decoy camp that was mostly burned by the fire, but they still seemed to have some stubborn ideas for the time being.

As for the death of Xiahouyuan and Xiahouba later, the eight or nine thousand Cao soldiers who followed them were completely in disarray. Many Cao soldiers began to abandon their weapons and surrender amidst the sound of surrender sounding from all around, so the next step was to face Bowang. It's just the suppression of the remaining Cao soldiers in Ponei.

In addition, the remaining Cao army remaining in the Cao army camp on the north side of Bowangpo is only 4000 remaining Cao soldiers and more than [-] auxiliary soldiers under the command of Cheng Yu and Xia Houmao.

But next to this Cao Jun camp, there are more than 4000 Xiliang iron cavalry and more than 2000 Hu soldiers left in the Zhangxiu Department commanded by Hu Che'er.

Hu Che'er, as Zhang Xiu's confidant, naturally knew about Zhang Xiu's plot to feign surrender and lure the enemy, so at this time, he was also tasked with waiting to launch an attack on Cao Jun's left-behind military stronghold.

Previously, when Xiahouyuan, Chezhou, Lejin, and Xiahouba were lured into the ambush trap, and Pang Yan led people to reoccupy the Chongchang Valley Road and cut off Cao Jun's retreat, Pang Yan sent Xing Daorong and Yi Ji with nearly [-] soldiers. The sword, shield and crossbowmen of the Xiongba camp went to attack this camp of Cao Jun.

When Zhu Wei's army was about to arrive, Yiji sent someone to contact Hu Che'er, so Hu Che'er led someone to fraudulently open the door of Cao Jun's camp.

Even though Cao Jun still had Cheng Yu staying behind, in the face of a sudden counterattack from his allies around him, Cao Jun's camp was breached without any defense, so Xing Daorong, Yi Ji's five thousand Xiongba Battalion soldiers and horses and Hu Che The more than 2000 Hu soldiers here directly entered the unsuspecting Cao Jun camp.

As for the remaining [-] Xiliang iron cavalry on Zhang Xiu's side, they were preparing to rob and kill Cao Jun's retreating pawns outside Cao Jun's camp.

This is the Battle of Bowangpo planned by Jia Xu, a perfect killing strategy planned by a world-renowned "poisoner".

Of course, Cao's army only had a weak Xia Houmao and a Confucian military advisor Cheng Yu left in the camp. Facing the army led by the two fierce generals Xing Daorong and Hu Che'er who broke into the camp, they naturally had little power to resist.

Cheng Yuwei and Xia Houmao immediately summoned more than 2000 Cao soldiers, withdrew from the army camp, and then retreated to the hills and forests of Bowangpo, all the way to Qinling.

Apparently Cheng Yu had already thought of the threat of the four thousand Xiliang iron cavalry in Zhang Xiu's army, so he would rather retreat into the mountains than to avoid the pursuit of Xiliang iron cavalry on the flat ground, and then planned to detour around the Qinling Mountains and retreat to Xudu.

But Cheng Yu and Xia Houmao obviously didn't have much experience in marching in the mountains. In addition, they retreated in a hurry and didn't bring much food and other supplies. Therefore, it took them more than a month to cross the Qinling Mountains and return to Xudu. The number of remnant soldiers brought back to Xudu is less than three hundred.

Of course, this is a later story. At this time, Cao Cao already knew that the army he sent to Nanyang had been wiped out this time. It was already a matter of good fortune for Cao Cao that Cheng Yu, the military adviser, could come back safely.

As for Xia Houmao, the son of Xia Houyuan who was later adopted by Xiahou Dun, he also fell ill while crossing the Qinling Mountains, and almost lost half of his life when he returned home, and basically never went to the battlefield since then.

However, the last remaining less than 5000 Cao Jun in Bowangpo, led by Che Wei and Le Jinshuai, retreated into the bait army stronghold that had not yet completely extinguished the fire, but was surrounded by Zhu Wei's army.

At this time, there are not only more than 2 troops from Pang Yan's Xiongba Battalion on Bowangpo, but also 3000 Qingqi troops brought by Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, and more than [-] troops from the Chinese Army Battalion led by Zhu Wei himself.

Coupled with the [-] troops brought by Zhang Xiu, it can be said that Zhu Wei's troops are enough to spread all over Bowangpo.

As for Che Zhou and Le Jin, there were only a few remnants of soldiers who had been ambushed and their morale was broken. They were in a dilapidated military camp surrounded by fireworks, with no water source, no food, and even if they didn't fight, they couldn't last a day.

So after Pang Yan brought the corpses of Xiahouyuan and Xiahouba, although Che Zhou and Lejin were also Cao Cao's confidant generals, they still had to lead their troops to surrender.

So the battle of Bowangpo came to an end.

After Zhu Wei checked the remnants of Cao's army through the game map of the Three Kingdoms, he did not send anyone to chase down the remnants of Cheng Yu and Xia Houmao who had fled into the mountains. The army withdrew to Wancheng to celebrate.

This time, the more than 2 troops sent by Cao Cao were almost wiped out, which can be regarded as a big victory.

Of course, Jia Xu, as the strategist who planned the overall strategy behind this battle against Cao Jun, was definitely the most important achievement, and Zhang Xiu personally feigned surrender and lured the enemy is also a great achievement. It is also a great achievement.

Therefore, after Zhu Wei returned to Wancheng, he talked about his merits and offered rewards one after another.

For Zhang Xiu, Zhu Wei asked him to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses alone, called the Liangqi Battalion, with Hu Che'er as the deputy general, and under his jurisdiction were [-] Xiliang cavalry, [-] Huren soldiers and [-] infantry. The above is the subordinate that Zhang Xiu originally commanded.

Because of Zhang Xiu's special situation, Zhu Wei is not planning to divide Zhang Xiu's army for the time being. Anyway, Zhu Wei has already transferred Jia Xu from Zhang Xiu's side, and Zhang Xiu can't cause any trouble theoretically.

However, the garrison of Zhang Xiu's army could not stay in Wancheng. Zhu Wei was going to transfer Zhang Xiu to Jiangxia. As for Tai Shici, he would naturally stay in Jiangdong in the future.

In fact, Jiangxia is richer than Wancheng, so for Zhang Xiu, transferring to Jiangxia is naturally something he is willing to accept, and he will not think about anything in his mind.

And Zhu Wei also gave Zhang Xiu the task of defending and harassing Lujiang Liu Xun, even if it made Zhang Xiu not have nothing to do...
