Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 180
According to Feng Yao's order, he and Feng Yao each lay down in the grass on both sides behind the forest.

The Suanzao enemy general came to the woods after ten miles out of the city. For some reason this night, he always had a bad premonition. Going to explore the way in the woods, a few scouts turned around the woods after a while, but there was no sign of an ambush.

The enemy general put down, worried that the rescue would not be enough, so he hurriedly ordered the team to pass through the woods.

The road in the woods was only enough for several people to walk side by side, and the whole team dispersed at once, and some generals even led their soldiers through the forest, and the formation had already dispersed.

Seeing the enemy soldiers approaching with torches, Feng Yao knew that there was no suspense in this battle, so he ordered all the cavalry to mount up without hesitation, and formed a wedge formation. , Lightly shouted "Chong!", 110 and three riders galloped towards them. Before the enemy could react, Feng Yao's hundreds of riders charged up with the momentum of thunder, and swiped their swords, directly cutting off three soldiers. The enemy soldier was at the head, and the horse trampled down two enemy soldiers. Behind him, Yang Wu and others rushed and killed them, tearing a hole in the enemy's team.

The enemy general was shocked, he felt the sky was spinning, he screamed angrily, almost fell off his horse, when he saw that there were more than a hundred riders, he shouted angrily: "Kill them!"

At this moment, the general Gao Shun, who received the attack signal, rushed out with two thousand soldiers, shouting and killing, as if there were tens of thousands of people, the enemy soldiers retreated in horror, and the formation was chaotic.

Feng Yao turned his horse's head and shouted: "Kill through again!" He led his followers to penetrate the enemy soldiers again, and after several rounds of back and forth like this, the enemy soldiers no longer had any fighting spirit, and the ones behind ran wildly into the woods , began to escape on a large scale, the enemy generals in front saw this, panicked, only brought less than a thousand soldiers, and fled forward in a hurry, hoping to save Wuchao, and then talk.

Before they could reach a hundred feet, suddenly countless black shadows sprang up in the darkness, everyone with a big knife, slashing at him, the enemy general was killed immediately, and the rest had no fighting spirit. After a while, almost the entire army was wiped out, only a few The enemy soldiers took advantage of the darkness to hide in the grass and escape.

This was the Tiger Guards who came to aid Feng Yao. After Xu Chu killed all the enemy soldiers, he immediately shouted: "My lord! My lord!"

When Feng Yao found it, Xu Chu was overjoyed, and holding the heads of two enemy generals, he knelt down in front of the horse and said excitedly, "My lord, Wuchao has won a big victory. Gao Shun has already gone to Suanzao to attack the city according to the plan."

"Zhongkang! Well done!!" Feng Yaoxi said, jumped off the horse, and helped Xu Chu up. Seeing that Xu Chu's clothes and armor were soaked in water, and his skin was a little white from the blisters, Feng Yao said sadly: "Zhongkang, This battle has suffered you and all the Tiger Guard brothers, let me deal with the rest, I will order you to return to Wuchao quickly, take a good rest, and guard the food and grass!"

The tiger guard knelt down and begged for orders loudly: "My lord, I am not tired of waiting for the tiger guard, and we can fight again! I am willing to kill the enemy with the lord!"

Feng Yao was quite moved, but he understood that the Tiger Guards were already very tired after a long dive, and siege is not the Tiger Guard's strong point, Gao Shun's thousands of soldiers are enough!

"This is an order!" Feng Yao shouted, and then said to Xu Chu: "You quickly lead the Tiger Guards back to Wuchao. Food and grass are the key. I can't ignore any factors that may be unfavorable to food and grass!"

Xu Chu obeyed, and the tiger guards did not dare to disobey Feng Yao's order, and left quickly under the leadership of Xu Chu.

When Feng Yao came to Suanzao City with [-] soldiers, Gao Shun had already captured Suanzao. The [-] enemy soldiers left behind in the city collapsed after being pushed up against the city wall by Gao Shun, and then collapsed voluntarily. Please surrender, Gao Shun confiscated all the armor and weapons of the surrendered soldiers, and temporarily imprisoned them.

So far, Feng Yao only took three days to take Baima, Yan, Suanzao, Sanxian, and Wuchao.

Since September [-]th, Feng Yao and Gao Shun led the army to set out, and the next day, the city of Puyang began to boil.

Gaoshun Jiebao was sent back to Puyang one by one, and at the same time, cartloads of money, food and equipment were continuously transported to Puyang City. From the third day onwards, captives and soldiers were brought in continuously.

On September 150th, when Lu Bu learned that the Wuchao had been broken and [-] million shi of the enemy's food and grass had been captured, he couldn't sit still any longer with excitement. As soon as the money and food were received, troops were sent into the city.

Cheng Lian in the city, Wei Xu and other generals were also very busy, recruiting surrendered troops, and sorting and storing grain, grass, equipment and other property one by one.

Although Lu Lingqi had nothing to be busy with, but when she heard of Feng Yao's great victory, she was secretly delighted, and her whole body became much more lively, as if she had returned to those happy days when she first came to Puyang City and was accompanied by Feng Yao.

On September [-]th, before that, Yan Liang always thought that Feng Yao was playing tricks and ordered Wei Yan to attack Chen Liucheng in order to divert Yan Liang's main force. There are many tricks, and Wei Yan is deliberately ordered to attack Chenliucheng. In fact, he wants to divert my main force to break the siege of Yongqiu. Don't be fooled and leave Wei Yan alone. With Wei Yan's [-] troops, it is not so easy to capture Chenliucheng!"

However, when the deserters found Yan Liang and explained the robbing of Wuchao food and the loss of several counties in the rear, Yan Liang shouted angrily: "Feng Yao's plan is my plan!" in a coma.

At this point, Yan Liang realized that Feng Yao had already left the base camp, and Wei Yan who had been attacking Chen Liucheng from the rear was just a trick of suspicion.

After Yan Liang woke up, he ordered: "Kill those deserters immediately! Don't let this news spread!"

Feng Yao's military division, who was in the central army, Xu Shu saw that Yan Liang hadn't retreated after Feng Yao's great victory, and immediately guessed that Yan Liang had blocked the news, so he sent a hundred soldiers with extremely loud voices to make him far away. Shouting in front of Yan Liang's formation: "Yan Liang is bad, Wuchao is out of food, don't retreat, just wait until there is no food!"

He also taught them to shout: "Those who lead a hundred people to surrender will be made generals immediately, and those who lead a thousand people to surrender will be made county magistrates immediately. If they are defeated and surrendered, they will be reduced to generals!"

All of a sudden, Yan Liang's army was in a state of disarray. There were countless people who ran away overnight or surrendered to Feng Yao's army.

Yan Liang was shocked, so he had to lead the remaining 3 soldiers, and wanted to retreat to Chenliu City, and then make plans, but Xu Shu couldn't give Yan Liang a chance to breathe, and immediately led the army to pursue!
The siege of Yongqiu City was finally resolved. Zhang Chao angrily led [-] guards in the city, opened the city gate wide, and all four gates went out. With four thousand soldiers, Yan Liang fled to Fengqiu City with less than eight thousand soldiers, but Xu Shu and Zhang Chao split up and quickly captured the two cities of Xiaohuang and Junyi, forming a pincer attack on Fengqiu.

Yan Liang had to completely abandon Chenliu County, and led his troops westward through Yanjin, Guandu, and Hanoi County, and fled back to Jizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River with less than [-] remnants.

On September [-], the county magistrates of Changyuan, Pingqiu, Donghun, and Jiyang were worried that the city would be liquidated by the prefect, so they ran away one after another. Zhang Miao sent people to take over the county after learning about it.

The entire county of Chenliu County was recovered within a few days.
