Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265
Outside Tunliu City, the Black Mountain Army retreated in embarrassment, leaving a mess. Corpses continued to fall on the official road, and the bandit army fled northward desperately.

Tunliu is separated from Lu County by a mountain, and five miles away from the city is a mountain pass. The rebel army set up a fortress again, and some remnants of the rebel army gathered here to resist.

Ouyang Fu led his troops to chase here, killed a few of the stragglers, and was about to stop the troops, but saw Zhang Liao coming to meet him from behind, and shouted: "Kill them all at once!"

Ouyang Fu's spirit was lifted, and he immediately led his troops to charge. Zhang Liao followed up and rushed to the entrance of the bandit army's stronghold.

At this time, Zhang Fei, who had regrouped from the city, also came with his troops. They saw smoke and dust flying on the avenue, filling the air. The thieves guarding the pass were shocked and didn't know how many officers and soldiers came.

Some of them were the bandits who were hunted down by Zhang Liao the night before. Seeing countless officers and soldiers approaching from a distance, and the leader was the wolf-like general in blue robes, he immediately lost his hands and feet.

Seeing that all the companions who had just entered the customs escaped, the thief general had no choice but to shout: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The bandits who were in charge of guarding the gate dispersed at once. Zhang Liao rushed into the stronghold, but he was not in a hurry to chase the bandits.

Ouyang Fu was fighting vigorously. He watched the bandit army flee and said loudly: "General, the bandit army has been defeated. Why don't you continue to chase them down? If we let them escape to Lu County, wouldn't it be letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Zhang Liao laughed loudly and said: "This is a tactic to catch and kill. The bandit army has been killed and fled away in a panic. They are not tigers now, but just dogs in panic! We are the tigers going down the mountain. We will arrive in Lu County later, we guarantee everyone Can eat and drink enough."

Ouyang Fu was startled, and reacted abruptly: "Could it be that the two generals want to repeat the old tricks and take advantage of the situation to take Lu County like Tunliu?"

Zhang Liao turned his head and glanced at Zhang Fei who was rushing towards him. He saw that the official road was full of smoke and dust, covering the sky and the sun, as if tens of thousands of troops were rushing towards him. I don't know how his 1000 people made such a big commotion.

Seeing that the thieves had already escaped the mountain pass, he ordered Ouyang Fu to continue chasing the thieves, restraining the former army from charging too much, and only killing those stragglers who fell behind, so that they would feel the crisis, but they would not rush into the enemy and drive away the thieves Fleeing all the way to Lu County.

Dust filled the road for a long time, but only Zhang Fei's Yan Yun cavalry came down the mountain. Zhang Liao didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Fei's gourd. one light.

Behind Zhang Fei's cavalry, everyone was dragging a tree branch, and the treetops were dragging on the ground, and the horses galloped past, raising dust all over the sky, no wonder it was more powerful than thousands of troops and horses.

Zhang Liao didn't expect that Zhang Fei, who seemed rough and bold, would have so many scheming plans. He was caught off guard by rushing to beat a bandit army before, but now he used branches to create momentum. He was actually a thoughtful person.

When Zhang Fei approached, he couldn't help but raise his hand and praised: "I didn't expect Yide to be bold and careful, I admire him!"

"Hahaha, where is this going?" Zhang Fei looked ahead with big eyes and pointed forward: "Wen Yuan, you continue to be the forward and I am the rear team. When you arrive in Lu County, no matter what the situation in the city is, you will only kill from the middle. Come in, take the city gate first."

Zhang Liao clasped his hands on the horse, and immediately led his troops out of the valley, followed the front team, and went to Lu County to kill.

At this time, in the valley, the Black Mountain Army panicked and fled. The screams that sounded from behind made them dare not relax. The officers and soldiers followed closely behind, as if the wolves were driving their prey and looking for an opening, and they would launch a thunder at any time. one strike.

One mile away from Lu County, the defenders saw the soldiers and horses retreating in front, and those with mounts rushed to the bottom of the city, yelling to open the gate.

But right after, Zhang Liao also appeared with the Xiaoyao Army. When the city gate opened, Zhang Liao raised his knife and shouted, "All soldiers, follow me and take down the city gate!"

Zhang Liao rushed to the front of the army in an instant, and the Xiaoyao army behind them also rushed to the horse. A thousand brave cavalry passed through the chaotic crowd like sharp knives, knocking the bandits down one after another.

The defenders saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing towards them like a gust of wind from a distance, and they panicked.

But at this time, the bandits rushed in, all in the gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers came from behind. Everyone wanted to survive. No door.

With a glimmer of hope, the force that the deserters unleashed was astonishing. The city gate was filled with people, let alone closing the door. Even the defenders who stepped forward to stop them could not stand firmly. They were pressed against the wall by the people entering the city. Some people could not help but Shen fell and was trampled by countless people in an instant, screaming to death.

The crowd at the gate of the city was overwhelming, and the thieves would turn pale with fright. Seeing the cavalry rushing out of the city like thunder, they hurriedly commanded the archers on the tower to stop them with arrows.

Just as the archers in the city were getting ready, Zhang Liao had already urged his horse to kill him. He lifted the reins lightly, and the horse and men rose into the air, crossed the suspension bridge in one leap, and rushed under the city gate.

boom--

The horse's four hooves landed on the ground, splashing a cloud of gravel and dust, and four or five people were beheaded by Zhang Liao's round knife.

The gate of the city was extremely crowded, Zhang Liao raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Listen up, everyone, those who surrender will not be killed!"

The bandit army crowded at the gate of the city had no way to advance or retreat, and they knelt down on the ground one after another. At this time, a wave of arrows rained down on the city, and the Xiaoyao army immediately raised their weapons to block, but shot down the bandit army, and there was a scream .

"Seeking death!" Zhang Liao was furious and urged his horses to squeeze into the city gate.

The city guard saw Zhang Liao, saw that he was inside the gate, knew that the city gate would not be safe, saw the smoke and dust drifting in the distance, and a large group of soldiers and horses swept towards Lu County, his expression changed greatly in fright.

"The reinforcements from the officers and soldiers are here, retreat quickly!" The guard shouted loudly, leading his men to run directly to the north gate.

At this time, the bandit army in Luxian City had just heard the sound of the drum, and they were still in a panic. Only a few people came to the south gate to support them, but they were killed by Zhang Liao's troops, and the bandit army swarmed and fled to other gates.

Zhang Liao left half of his men to guard the city gate to meet Zhang Fei. He led his troops straight to the government office, only to find that the place was in a mess. All the people had fled, and only some old, weak, women and children were still shouting in panic.

Ouyang Fu caught a lame thief and asked sharply, "Where is Bai Rao?"

The man hurriedly replied: "Xiangyuan officers and soldiers killed several young commanders, and the white-headed leader went to Yuwang Mountain to defend himself."

"So that's it!" Zhang Liao nodded slowly, and finally understood why Lu County's defense was so lax. It turned out that Bai Rao was attracted by Guan Yu and the others.

At this time, Zhang Fei also led his troops to the city. He saw the four gates of Luxian County opened. Except for the south gate, the bandits swarmed out and fled in all directions like ants exploding their nests.

Knowing that Zhang Liao had broken through the city, he sent an order: "Come here, divide my troops into three groups, chase and kill the bandit army, and reward those who take prisoners."

"Follow orders!" The three school lieutenants in the army each led an army, removed the treetops and chased after the disordered army.
