Chapter 867 The Death of Yu Wenhuaji

Chapter 865: Death of Yu Wenhuaji

In the previous siege battle, Qin Wu, Sun Ce and other fierce generals also participated in the siege, but Wang Fang followed Han Qinhu's instructions and made complete preparations long ago.

As soon as the coalition generals boarded the tower of Guangcheng Pass, they would immediately be fired upon by hundreds of archers, so it was naturally difficult to give full play to their military advantage.

This time the two generals sneaked into the pass through the tunnel at night, but there were no hundreds of archers to focus on them. The surprise attack caught the defenders in the pass by surprise.

Because this raid was all planned by Bai Qi, Sun Jian very wisely handed over the command to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi had already led the coalition forces to prepare for the attack outside the city.

As soon as he received the signal from the city, Bai Qi immediately launched a night battle and began to attack the city. In this way, he attracted most of the attention of the defenders, which also created opportunities for Qin Wu and Sun Ce in the city, allowing them to more easily attack the city. action.

The raiding troops led by Qin Wu and Sun Ce were all the best among the best. Under the leadership of two powerful generals, they were so easily killed in the pass that it was as if there was no one around. Fight to the city gate and open the city gate.

The opening of the city gate also heralded the end of this battle.

A large number of coalition forces continued to pour into the pass. Although the Liang army in the pass was still resisting tenaciously, they were unable to expel the coalition forces from the pass. It was only a matter of time before they were completely defeated.

Seeing that the situation was over, Lieutenant General Wang Fang decisively ordered the burning of the grain depot and armory, and led the defeated army to flee to Yique Pass to join Yang Su.

The fire started by Wang Fang also left the coalition forces with no time to pursue it, and they focused their energy on extinguishing the fire.

Bai Qi also rescued the people in a very timely manner. The fire in Guan Nei was extinguished as soon as it was ignited, so there was not much loss of materials in the city.

After the war, an inventory was conducted and it was found that in this battle, a total of 4,000 enemies were killed and 10,000 were captured. Wang Fang only led more than 5,000 people and fled back to Yique Pass.

The Southern Route Allied Forces suffered 4,000 casualties in the night battle. In addition to the 6,000 casualties suffered during the previous siege, the Guangcheng Allied Forces suffered a total of 10,000 casualties in defeating the city.

At the cost of only 10,000 casualties, the Guangcheng Pass with 20,000 troops was captured. The cost of this attack was already quite small, and the biggest contributor was naturally Bai Qi.

The major princes of the Southern Route Army had very complicated feelings about this. They were the ones who clearly contributed to this battle, but the outcome seemed to be the same with or without them. Their contribution of troops and efforts became secondary, while Bai Qi just made a move The brain has become the soul.

After capturing Guangcheng Pass, the Southern Route Allied Forces should have taken advantage of the victory and attacked Yique Pass with lightning speed, but they were delayed due to issues with the distribution of the captured troops.

Although part of the supplies in Guangcheng Pass were burned, the amount left behind was still huge. This also made the major princes extremely coveted, and they were so quarreling over the distribution issue that they couldn't even continue to march. Delayed.

Sun Jian was naturally very troubled by this. The princes originally respected him, but when it came to the core interests, Sun Jian's prestige could not shake these princes at all.

In desperation, Sun Jian could only quickly ask the alliance leader Qin Hao for instructions. Half a month later, the alliance leader's edict was sent back, and he immediately marched to Yique Pass. All supplies were sealed and reserved for distribution after the war.

After Qin Hao's order was conveyed, the princes of the Southern Route Army felt as if they had eaten shit, but they did not dare to disobey Qin Hao's order. One hundred thousand allied troops marched towards Yique Pass again, but they had been delayed for more than half a month. time.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao originally thought that Yu Wenhuaji was not well-known and his ability to defend the city would not be too strong, so he launched an all-out attack with all his strength shortly after arriving. However, he did not expect that he suffered a **** blow at Xuanyuan Pass. The reason why Yu Wenhuaji's reputation is not great is partly because he was overshadowed by his son, Yu Wencheng.

Yu Wenhuaji in the original history was a man who had been an emperor. Even if his own abilities were not very strong, he was certainly surrounded by people with extraordinary abilities. With Xuanyuan Jianguan in hand, he could still hold on.

Yuan Shao did not expect that Yu Wenhuaji would be so difficult to deal with. Just when he was worried about the casualties and was preparing to postpone the attack on the city, news came that Bai Qi had defeated Guangcheng Pass.

 After receiving this news, the faces of the princes of the Southeast Route Army were very exciting, especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, with all kinds of complicated emotions expressed on their faces.

Among the three armies now, the east route destroyed 50,000 Xiliang cavalry in one battle, and the south route also easily broke through Guangcheng Pass. Only the southeast route has not made any achievements. How can the two brothers, who have always been proud, accept it?

Shortly afterwards, Yuan Shao ordered a full-scale attack on the city.

Liu Xiu also sighed when he saw this. Now he finally understood why Qin Hao let Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu lead the army alone, because for the Yuan brothers, their face was more important than the lives of the soldiers.

Since Yuan Shu's general Lian Po was good at attacking cities, Yuan Shao ordered Lian Po to command the siege. In addition, he also asked Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals to join the siege. Even Yuan Shao himself beat drums to boost the morale of the army.

One hundred thousand troops on the southeast road worked together as one, and attacked with all their strength for more than a month. Only then did they successfully break through Xuanyuan Pass, and achieved the result of killing 10,000 enemies, capturing 5,000, and losing nearly 40,000 themselves.

Yu Wenhuaji refused Yuan Shao's persuasion to surrender several times, and did not dare to expect that the other party would persuade him to surrender again, so he set fire to the food and baggage before fleeing. This move completely angered Yuan Shao.

On the way to Yuwenhua and retreating to Yique Pass, Sun Jian solved the problem of the distribution of captured troops by the South Route Army and led the army to block the front of Yique Pass.

At this time, Guangcheng Pass and Xuanyuan Pass had been breached by the coalition forces, and Yique Pass was besieged by the coalition forces. Yu Wenhuaji's retreat was completely blocked, and he was trapped and died in the middle of the three passes.

Yu Wenhuaji, who was unable to advance or retreat, was obviously facing a desperate situation. Just when he was about to surrender to Sun Jian, Yuan Shaojun from behind actually caught up with him overnight.

They were all putting out the fire, but Yuan Shao's reaction was a little slower. After the fire was extinguished, most of the supplies in Xuanyuan Pass had been burned.

This also made Yuan Shao completely angry, so he sent out elite cavalry to pursue him overnight, and also sent out his fierce generals.

Yu Wenhuaji's men were defeated. With their morale low, they were no match for Yuan Jun. The two sides were immediately defeated as soon as they fought. Yu Wenhuaji was also targeted by Yan Liangwen Chou.

Yu Wenhuaji wanted to surrender, but before he could speak, a javelin flew from nowhere and directly penetrated Yu Wenhuaji's corpse on the spot.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were planning to capture Yu Wenhuaji alive, but when they saw that Yu Wenhuaji was dead, they had no choice but to cut off his head to claim credit.
