Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 793 Zhu Weijun's Counterattack Begins

While Yuan Shao was still hesitant and did not carry out the next offensive battle, Zhu Wei did not hesitate at all and quickly set the stage for a major counterattack against Yuan Shao.

So Zhu Weijun, who was on the side of Hulao Pass, took the lead in counterattacking outside.

Outside Hulao Pass, Jushou, Zhang He, and Wang Mo, who originally pretended to be Cao's army, had about [-] Yuan troops. They were planning to station here temporarily to support Cao Cao's tactics, but after Cao Cao's army was defeated, Yuan Shao could only let them formally Stationed here.

Of course, the task of Jushou, Zhang He, and Wang Mo at this time was not to attack Hulao Pass, but to defend Zhu Weijun from coming out of Hulao Pass.

It can be said that Yuan Shao also thought of the possibility that Zhu Weijun would take the initiative to attack from Hulao Pass. After all, Zhu Weijun's attack from Hulao Pass could threaten both Xudu and Yuan Shaojun's right rear wing.

Therefore, Ju Shou, Zhang He, and Wang Mo relied on the original garrison camp of Cao Cao's army and constructed a defensive line outside Hulao Pass.

But since Zhu Weijun was determined to attack, how could he be stagnated by the defense line constructed by Yuan Shaojun, so Pang Yan led [-] Xiongba battalion elite soldiers, Zhuge Liang led [-] soldiers from the Chinese army battalion, and Chang Shi Yiji, generals Xing Daorong, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian took the initiative to attack from Hulao Pass, and went to Yuan Shao's army camp to kill on a cool summer night.

As for Hulao Pass, Pan Zhang, sent by Zhu Wei, took over the garrison. At the same time, Pan Zhang took over the elite soldiers of the Five Thousand Chinese Army Battalion left by Zhuge Liang.

After Pang Yan and Zhuge Liang led their troops to attack, Hulaoguan was no longer at the forefront of the battlefield, so Pan Zhang led [-] troops to garrison, which could also ensure the safety of this gate.

Don't talk about Pan Zhang, just say that Pang Yan and Zhuge Liang led nearly [-] soldiers plus [-] logistics auxiliary soldiers. After the summer night, it didn't take long to kill Cao Jun who is now stationed by Jushou, Zhang He, and Wang Mo. camp.

At this time, under the means of Ju Shou, this Cao Jun camp became a well-defended fortress.

Jushou imitated the defensive camp built by Zhu Weijun in front of Hulao Pass, and dug trenches several feet deep and several steps wide outside the camp wall, and used the catapult carts left by Cao Cao as defensive weapons. A tight defensive formation was formed.

It's a pity that Cao Cao had already thought of a way to crack this kind of defensive camp, so Zhuge Liang just dug the earth to make a mound, and then put the thunderbolt catapult on the mound, and threw it towards Yuan Jun's camp according to the condescending command. Fire oil and flint.

In this way, Zhu Weijun easily destroyed the outer walls of Yuan Jun's camp, and the front line of defense constructed by Yuan Jun was almost in ruins.

Zhang He and Yuan Jun who were deployed at the front of the army village by Zhang He and Ju Shou could only retreat one after another, and even the trebuchets they placed here were almost destroyed by Zhu Weijun's sudden projectile attack.

After Zhu Weijun destroyed Yuan Jun's defense line, he swung his troops to take advantage of the momentum and charged. When he arrived at the trench in front of Yuan Jun's camp, he directly built wooden ladders and planks on the trench, and quickly paved many passages that could move forward. The army entered Yuan Jun's camp with little hindrance.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was in charge of the overall situation in the rear, and Pang Yan personally brought Xing Daorong, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian to the front. He didn't need to use the [-]-strong army from the Zhongjun camp, but directly relied on the [-] troops from the Xiongba camp to enter Yuan Jun's camp. Zhang Yun, Jushou, and Wang Mo were already powerless to contend.

In desperation, Jushou, as a civil servant, had to be protected by Wang Mo and retreated first, while Zhang He reluctantly led his troops to block Zhu Weijun's pursuit.

As a result, Zhang Yun met Pang Yan on the battlefield. Although Zhang Yun can be regarded as a famous general who has stepped into the ranks of super generals, he is still a lot worse when facing Pang Yan. What's more, it is now on the chaotic battlefield, and Pang Yan is a hunter. Ye Luzi, who didn't pay much attention to a famous family at all, directly looked for an opportunity to sneak attack Zhang Yun, knocked Zhang Yun off his horse, and then let the soldiers behind him go up and captured Zhang Yun.

This time, the broken Yuan Jun lost his general and became even more confused, so amidst Zhu Weijun's four calls to surrender, many people also surrendered.

As a result, Zhu Weijun defeated Yuan Jun again in this battle. Not only did he capture Yuan Jun's general Zhang Ying, but he also surrendered Yuan Jun's soldiers. There were no less than 5000 soldiers. They all became prisoners of Zhu Weijun.

However, Jushou and Wang Mo took the troops who fled back to Yuan Shao's camp on the north bank of the Yellow River. In the end, there were only four or five thousand troops, and at least about [-] Yuan troops were directly scattered on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Since then, these soldiers of Yuan Jun either continued to be captured and captured by Zhu Weijun, or they directly became deserters and returned to their hometown in the north.

With the breakthrough of Yuan Jun's camp outside Hulao Pass, Zhuge Liang and Pang Yan quickly led the army to continue northward, chasing the defeated soldiers of Jushou and Wang Mo all the way, and also took advantage of the situation to seize the south bank of the Yellow River Yanjin Ferry, which was not much prepared. , Putting on a posture of crossing the river, trying to cut off the rear of Yuan Jun's right wing to the north bank of the Yellow River.

This made Yuan Shao dare not underestimate it, so Yuan Shao could only allocate a part of his troops to the north bank of Yanjin Ferry to strengthen the defense, so as to prevent Zhu Weijun from crossing the Yellow River from Yanjin and really threatening Yecheng, Yuan Shao's old nest in Yizhou.

Of course, Zhuge Liang and Pang Yan were actually trying to bluff, mainly to attract and disperse Yuan Shao's troops, and at the same time attract Cao Cao's attention, which had the meaning of striking east and west.

In fact, Zhu Wei's attack target for Zhuge Liang and Pang Yan is still Yingchuan County. As long as the battle in Xuzhou Taishan County has results, he can attack Xudu and Xudu in Yingchuan County together with Huang Zhong's troops. Counties in Gunzhou.

At the same time, the battle in Taishan County, Xuzhou has finally come to an end.

Earlier, Tai Shici led Zhu Weijun's Shenjian Battalion to force Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei's coalition forces into Liangfu County, but in order to encircle and annihilate them, Tai Shici slowed down his offensive, just waiting for Huang Zhong's Huainan Battalion to encircle them In the back road, he deliberately spent some time working abroad.

During this period, Huang Zhong also led troops to bypass Zhongni Mountain in Lu State, and reached Cheng County and Juping County according to the agreement, and then contacted the scouts sent by Tai Shici.

So the final battle of annihilation against the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei began.

Zhu Wei put Xu Shu and Lu Su next to Tai Shici and Huang Zhong were also resourceful people, so after the two parties got in touch, they quickly decided on an attack strategy.

Probably around the time when Zhu Weijun went to Luoyang South to counterattack Cao Jun, and Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu defeated the Southern Huns cavalry in Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties, Tai Shici officially launched a campaign against Yuan Tan, Zang Ba and Liu Bei in Taishan County, Xuzhou. Allied offensive.

Zhu Weijun prepared a lot of war equipment during the time spent in Taishici's grinding of foreign labor. For example, four or five thunderbolt catapults were built. Equipment such as cars has also been repaired a lot.

Therefore, when Tai Shici launched a strong attack on Yuan Tan's camp, all kinds of equipment were used to destroy Yuan Tan's defensive means first...
