Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379
Yan Liang's death actually had a lot of accidental elements,
But the biggest reason is that Yan Liang himself, he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward!

When the news of Yan Liang being ambushed and beheaded was spread to Puyang and Baima by Zhao Yun's scouts,

Excited, Chen Deng ordered the soldiers in his own camp and the soldiers led by Yu Jin in the White Horse Stronghold to rush out together, aiming at Yuan Shao's soldiers along the Yellow River.

At the same time, the news of Yan Liang's death in battle spread to Baima Port and Yuan Jun's camp on the south bank of the Yellow River following the defeat of Yan Liang's cavalry.

When Yan Liang's vanguard army suddenly heard that the general had died, they were in a mess.

However, Cao Jun, who was in Puyang Daying and Baima Fortress, joined forces to attack at this time; Chunyu Qiong, Guo Tu and others were completely unable to resist, so they had to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River under the guard of soldiers.

So far, Yuan Jun crossed the Yellow River for the first time and failed to attack Baima.

In this battle, Cao Jun achieved quite brilliant results.

Hebei general Yan Liang died in battle, and less than a thousand of his ten thousand cavalry finally fled back to Hebei; among the more than 2 infantry who crossed the Yellow River to attack the Baima White Horse Fortress, only seven to eight thousand were withdrawn to the north bank.

Cao Jun captured nearly 5000 people in total, and seized countless food, grass and supplies.

As for the siege equipment that Yuan Jun brought to Helai, Chen Deng ordered them to be burned on the spot.

Yu Ban was very happy to kill, and finally vented all his useless anger for so many days.

Moreover, beheading and capturing so many soldiers of the Yuan army, and capturing countless supplies of food, grass, and supplies, the military exploits are already solid.

Chen Deng was also very happy, but he was not dazzled by the victory.

After the Dongjun defenders dispersed Yuan Shao's vanguard troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, he immediately ordered the army to withdraw from Baima, return to Puyang, and prepare to defend Puyang City to the death.

Yan Liang was Yuan Shao's number one general, and his death would definitely drive Yuan Shao into a frenzy.

Yuan Shao's death of a general and more than 1 soldiers was far from a serious injury to him. As long as the army crossed the river, Dongjun would still be very dangerous.

At this time, it is necessary to stick to the White Horse Fortress again, but it is just a fearless sacrifice.

Chen Deng chose to give up the white horse and stick to Puyang, which is the best choice at the moment.

Zhao Yun returned to Cao Cao's camp with the news of the great victory, and Yan Liang's head made everyone excited.

Beheading Yan Liang, this is a great credit!

Zhang Liao was already very fond of Boss Cao,
For this great achievement, Boss Cao immediately promoted Zhang Liao to the rank of General of the Bandits in front of everyone, and conferred the title of Marquis of Guannei (Zhang Liao was only a general of Zhonglang before).

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, because their official positions are not small, so they temporarily record their military achievements, and wait for the war to accumulate and reward them together.

However, the excitement on Cao Ying's side only lasted for a few days.
The news of Yan Liang's defeat and death spread back to the north bank of the Yellow River.

When Yuan Shao heard the bad news, he led only more than [-] riders from Liyang's main camp to the north bank of the Yellow River.

General Jiang Yiqu, who was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, came out of the village to meet him.

After Yuan Shao entered Jiang Yiqu's camp, he heard crying from a distance, so he stood outside the camp and listened carefully.

"It's too tragic! General Yan Liang was beheaded by the enemy general and died with regret.

Of the 5000 brothers in our cavalry battalion, less than [-] escaped from the ambush, but finally returned to Baima, and were attacked by Baima Cao Jun again.I heard that there are less than a thousand people who can come back this time! "

"Oh, it's really too miserable."

"Woooo! My three brothers crossed the Yellow River together, and now I am the only one who has come back."

"Ah! Woohoo! My son!"

It turned out that the defeated army who fled back from the south bank of the Yellow River gathered together to cry and complain about the pain of losing brothers and brothers, and abandoning companions and relatives.

Yuan Shao heard them crying miserably, crying bitterly, and couldn't help but regret in his heart: "I regret not listening to Ju Shou and Tian Feng's words, and dispatching troops hastily, resulting in defeat and perishing."

But if you repent and repent, it is impossible to change.

Yuan Shao felt that he had killed a general and lost [-] troops. If he confessed his mistakes and repented at this time, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world?

At this moment, Guo Tufengji returned to the camp and saw Yuan Shao standing at the gate of the camp, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have seen you, my lord!"

Yuan Shao put away the little regret in his heart, and glanced at Guo Tu without any trace.

In the end, Yuan Shao still did not pursue Guo Tu's responsibility, but turned his head to Feng Ji and said, "Call for a civil and military discussion. I want to take down the white horse, capture Dongjun, and avenge General Yan Liang!"

Yuan Shao, the chief accountant of the Chinese army.

Yan Liang was beheaded, and the news that the entire army that crossed the Yellow River was wiped out has spread to all the camps.

Looking at the arrogant soldiers under him, Yuan Shao finally couldn't hold back his violent temper.

He inserted the saber in his hand into the circle representing Xudu on the map, and roared furiously: "Listen to the order! Take Wen Chou as the vanguard, Feng Ji as the supervisor, lead an army of [-], and cross the Yellow River again!"

Wen Chou and Feng Ji stood up, clasped their fists (cupped their hands) and responded loudly: "Here!"

At this time, Xu You suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, I have asked some of General Yan Liang's soldiers.

They said that General Yan Liang had received news that Cao Jun had entered Yanjin and intended to cross the Yellow River from Yanjin Port to raid our hinterland.In order to cut off the Cao army heading for Yanjin, General Yan Liang marched hastily in a hurry, and then he was ambushed by Cao army. "

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Yanjin has Jiang Qi's [-] troops, so you should have no worries."

Xu You shook his head and said again, "I can't tell! What I mean is that after General Wen Chou crosses the Yellow River, he should go south immediately to seize Yanjin Port and eliminate the hidden danger of Cao's army going north. As for Dongjun, wait until our army is done. After crossing the Yellow River, isn’t it just something in your plate or bag, my lord?”

"Yeah." Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, feeling that what Xu You said made sense.

So he said to Wen Chou again: "General Wen, after you lead your army across the Yellow River, immediately attack Yanjin and seize the port of Yanjin!"

"The last general takes orders!"

In the second year of Jian'an, at the end of June.

After Yan Liang's defeat, Yuan Shao ordered Wen Chou to be the vanguard again, and he himself led the main force in Hebei to speed up the crossing of the Yellow River.

Chen Dengyu's main force retreated to Puyang, East County, and dared not go out behind closed doors. The excitement of the big victory just not long ago has completely disappeared at this moment.

The Yellow River couldn't stop Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops.

In Baima Harbor, countless soldiers of the Yuan army poured out one after another, forming square formations one after another on the south bank of the Yellow River.

The white horse was going to fortify the city wall, and Yu Jin, who was staying behind for the last wait-and-see, looked at Yuan Jun's ants-like, densely packed square formation and the banners covering the sky, and couldn't help taking a deep breath at the end.

Yuan Junzhong's army was pulled out for more than ten miles, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

The rumbling footsteps of Yuan Jun's soldiers even covered up the roar of the Yellow River.
Unlike the soldiers recruited by Yuan Shuqiang who wore cloth armor and held inferior spears, it can be said that almost all of Yuan Shao's soldiers were veterans who had been on the battlefield, and they all had complete armor and sharp weapons.

After the soldiers of Yuan Jun who crossed the Yellow River formed a phalanx,

Yu Jin could even feel waves of evil spirits surging towards him!

"The prefect does have foresight."

Yu Jin didn't dare to look at it anymore, his hand holding the saber was already trembling slightly,

"Withdraw! Withdraw from Puyang and defend Puyang City!"
