Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 319
Hua Xiong beheaded Zhang Wei and called for battle at the base of the city. Ma Yan didn't dare to go out to fight.

After a few visits, Yuan Shao reported that reinforcements had arrived, Hua Xiong then withdrew and returned to Guangnian to hand over his orders.

Liu He heard the news and discussed with everyone: "Although one general was beheaded, Yuan Shao's subordinates also have many civil and military personnel, so the enemy should not be underestimated."

Liu Ye nodded and said, "Gongsun Zan pacified Qingzhou, smashed the Yellow Turban bandits, captured tens of thousands of prisoners, countless armored vehicles, and great reputation. As long as General Guan deploys his defenses carefully, he will be able to stop them! Only the Black Mountain Army is in Wu'an. The villains are not dead, and they need to be eliminated early. Of."

Guo Jia also said: "The mob of the bandit army can be wiped out with a thunderbolt, and it is not too late to fight Yuan Shao."

Liu He said with a smile: "Gongsun Zan has no plan, and Cao Cao is holding him back in Xuzhou. I don't think he would dare to come out with all his strength! But this black mountain bandit has repeatedly made trouble since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The grievances between me and Yu Du, It's time to finish it, if we don't get rid of it at this time, it will be even more difficult to deal with him when he meets Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army has wings."

Cheng Yuyan said: "Yuan Shao united with the Black Mountain Army, intending to spread the power of Jujiao. Now that Yuan Shao's reinforcements have arrived in Quliang, if we divide our troops to suppress the bandits, what should Yuan Shao do?"

Liu Heyan said: "Yuan Shao has always been hesitant to use troops, resourceful and indecisive. When he rushes from Handan to Quliang to send troops, we have already taken Wu'an."

Guo Jia also laughed and said: "What the general said is not bad, Yuan Shao is late and suspicious, and his advisers are restraining each other. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. The Black Mountain Army suffered heavy losses a few years ago, and now they are short of food and grass, and their morale is low. We divide the elite troops to suppress them. , but a battle can be settled.”

When they were discussing, they suddenly came to report that the Black Mountain Army had sent troops to Xiangguo at the same time as Yuan Shao sent troops.

Cheng Yu said: "The Heishan army really wanted to plunder along the way and join Zhang Yan in the north. Its old nest was in Changshan in the past. Once it goes north, it will definitely cause endless disasters."

Liu He said with a smile: "If the Black Mountain army stays in Wu'an and can't go out, it will be difficult to deal with it for a while. It is just what I want to enter and leave the city. Yu Wenze, do you dare to lead the army to hunt down the thieves?"

Yu Jin was overjoyed when he heard the words, clasped his fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"

Liu He nodded and said: "I sent Zhang Liao as the front army, Tai Shici as the deputy general, and Mr. Cheng as the military adviser to help you go and defeat the thieves. You can take Wu'an in half a month. Are you confident?"

Zhang Liao patted his chest and said loudly: "What's the point of measuring this little thief? General, don't worry, this time, Yu Du and Bai Rao will definitely not let him escape again."

Yu Jin, Cheng Yu, and Tai Shici also clasped their fists to accept orders. The Black Mountain Army had forty to fifty thousand soldiers, and it was not easy to take them down within half a month.

Liu Heyan said: "You must not be careless about this trip. The battle between me and Yuan Shao is just around the corner. It is related to the situation in Hebei. I can't be misled by the bandits."

Yu Jin clasped his fists and said, "At the end of the day, Jin is willing to solve the general's worries and problems."

Liu He immediately allocated [-] elite soldiers to fight against the thieves, and ordered Zhang Liao to lead [-] elite cavalry to Su Renting to intercept the Black Mountain Army. At this time, Guangnian had less than [-] soldiers and horses left, so he ordered the generals to carefully deploy and defend the city.

Zhang Liao led his troops first, and came along the Shahe River to Su Renting. The cavalry was extremely fast, and they reached the territory of Xiang State in a short time.

Before arriving at Su Renting, the scouts in front reported that the front of the Black Mountain Army had just crossed the Shahe River and was also heading for Su Renting.

Zhang Liao immediately turned to the north, assembled by a woods, ordered the soldiers to hide their mounts, and lay in ambush in the woods on both sides.

After setting up the ambush, Zhang Liao led only 5000 troops, pretending to be the defenders of Xiangguo, and came to the river. Before he had gone for a long time, the Black Mountain Army came to meet him, and there were [-] to [-] people, overwhelming.

Zhang Liao urged him to come forward immediately, and cursed with a horizontal knife: "You traitors, how dare you invade our country of Xiang, and why don't you retreat quickly?"

There was a commotion in the Black Mountain army. Seeing that there were not many officers and soldiers coming, they all shouted and approached, and surrounded Zhang Liao far away, and a general walked out of the crowd.

I saw that this person was short and thick, with splayed eyebrows and a goatee beard, showing a treacherous look, and wearing loose chain mail, obviously snatched from the treasury temporarily.

The man sneered and said, "A mere hundreds of people dare to intercept our army? Who in the Taihang area doesn't know the name of our Black Mountain army? If you know your skills, go back to the city and tell your prefects, and open the city to welcome me. We promise not to kill anyone."

Zhang Liao was furious, and shouted heavily: "What a brave thief, watch me take your head!"

The man looked up to the sky and laughed, with a big knife in his hand. He urged his horse to kill Zhang Liao. The rest of the Black Mountain Army immediately raised their arms and shouted. Facing the five hundred officers and soldiers, they didn't pay attention at all.

The general of the Black Mountain Army rushed forward and slashed with his sword while roaring. Zhang Liao raised his sword to parry, his arms sank slightly, and he staggered on the horse's back, almost falling off the horse's back.

Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered by the bandit general, Zhang Liao galloped his horse and fled in the direction he came. The Heishan general shouted loudly, beckoning the Heishan army to come after him.

Zhang Liao covered the soldiers and left first. Seeing that the bandit army was getting closer and closer, he suddenly turned around and shot arrows, and two of them fell off their horses in response.

The Heishan general was in a state of chaos, he roared for the whole army to pursue, the Heishan army was also furious, their eyes were red, they chased after him all the way, they just wanted to go all out to kill Su Renting and plunder them.

The Heishan army was getting closer and closer, and the officers and soldiers were in chaos. When they arrived at a forest, they saw the bandit army approaching, and discarded their armor and weapons one after another, and fled desperately.

The Montenegro army chased them into the forest, and seeing many fine armors lying on the ground, they stopped scrambling one after another, ignoring the pursuit.

The Black Mountain army behind caught up and saw that the former army had taken a lot of money. They were unwilling to reconcile. No one went to chase the officers and soldiers.

Rumbling--

At this moment, the troops led by Zhang Liao went back and forth, and [-] cavalry came at a gallop, which was completely different from the previous appearance of fleeing in embarrassment.

The Black Mountain army was shocked, and the bandit army in front hurriedly shouted a warning to make their companions prepare to meet the enemy, but at this moment, arrows flew out of the woods on both sides, covering the sky and covering the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the bandit army in the forest was shot down by random arrows, and it became a mess. People in the forest screamed and screamed, and the Black Mountain army crowded and trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.

At this time, the bandit army was huddled together, the front army was charged by Zhang Liao's cavalry, unable to retreat, and the middle road was shot and killed by random arrows in the forest, forming a mess, and the rear was unknown, rushing forward to snatch armor and weapons.

Amidst the screams, the Black Mountain Army finally came to their senses and immediately turned around and ran for their lives. Zhang Liao led the Xiaoyao Army to charge in the center, and Ouyang Fu also led the ambush soldiers to rush out, outflanking the left and right, and rushed into the chaotic Black Mountain Army.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the Black Mountain Army was already scattered. If they were ambushed again at this time, they would have been completely defeated. Even if someone tried to resist, they would be killed and scattered in an instant when facing Zhang Liao's general.

Zhang Liao led the soldiers and horses to rush left and right in the chaotic army, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing indiscriminately, killing ghosts and wolves in Montenegro, and corpses all over the ground.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Ouyang Fu led the troops to drive away, calling and recruiting the thieves repeatedly.

Zhang Liao's cavalry alone had completely routed the rebel army. He chased after him, keeping an eye on the Montenegrin general, urging his horse to pursue him fiercely, overturning countless people along the way, and the rebel army could not resist him at all.
