Three Kingdoms: The identity of the eldest son of the Great Wei was exposed by Dian Wei

Chapter 79: Ji Ling died in battle, and Yuan Shu’s army was defeated!!

And Zhang Xun was leading 150,000 Yuan troops towards the border of Yangzhou, and the march was very fast, and many soldiers were a little red-faced.

And Zhang Xun, who was leading the army, rode forward leisurely, his face appeared from time to time with pride, and the adjutant general next to him said with some concern.

“Great General, I am waiting for the march speed to be so fast, some of the soldiers’ physical strength has already improved, do you want to reduce the speed.”

Facing the adjutant general’s advice again, Zhang Xun glanced at the adjutant general faintly, snorted coldly, and said aloud.

“This time, the Cao army came with cavalry as the vanguard, and the number was much lower than that of me, so this is the opportunity I waited for.”

“If I can occupy the main points in advance, I can form an encirclement and kill these tens of thousands of cavalry and make a great contribution.”

“Although our army’s infantry is a little tired, but our army’s iron horse is very relaxed, and the combat strength is maintained, don’t worry!”

Zhang Xun looked confident, and the deputy general was not good to say anything, so he could only guess that this was Zhang Xun’s scheme, so he began to make up for himself.

“What the great general said is that if the enemy sees the tired image of our army, he will definitely be confused, and our cavalry will be caught by surprise!”

Listening to the adjutant general’s compliment, Zhang Xun made an unfathomable look, making the adjutant general feel that he had planned well, and nodded and said.

“That’s what I mean, if the enemy army comes, I will definitely let them have no return, my Dazhong’s iron horse is amazing!”

After Zhang Xun finished speaking, the deputy continued to offer compliments, and at this time, when Zhang Xun was proud, the scout came to report at the same time.

“General Qiyu, tens of thousands of enemy cavalry are coming!”

“Hmph, sure enough, as I expected, listen to my orders!”

A sneer appeared on Zhang Xun’s face, and he ordered in a deep voice, and the adjutant general added three more points to Zhang Xun’s admiration, and hurriedly went to inform his subordinates.

Among the 150,000 troops led by Zhang Xun this time, there were 50,000 cavalry, and as soon as the order was given, they rushed forward, with a fierce momentum.

On the other side, Xia Hou Tuan had already led 60,000 iron horses to come, looking at the cavalry rushing out of the enemy army, and ordered with a cold snort.

“The whole army obeys the order, charge!”

“No!”

The 40,000 iron cavalry led by Xiahou Tuan and Xiahou Yuan directly greeted the Yuan army cavalry who rushed over, and as soon as they met, countless Yuan troops fell to the ground.

Although Yuan’s momentum is not weak, the iron cavalry of the Cao army is weaker than that, from armor weapons to horses, it is inferior.

Xiahou Tuan and Xiahou Yuan took the guards and directly tore apart the position of the Yuan army, and the iron cavalry of the Cao army that came later further expanded the advantage.

Xu Rong and Zhang Liao each led more than 10,000 cavalry, and they killed Yuan’s army from the left and right wings respectively, completely collapsing their position.

The cavalry of the Yuan army saw that the iron cavalry of the Cao army was all around, and they were flustered, facing the gradual rout, but no general could stand up.

Cao Jun, on the other hand, had a high morale, and the spear in his hand continued to stab hard, and more and more Yuan Jun soldiers fell to the ground.

Zhang Xun, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that his soldiers had fallen into decline, and he was surprised, he did not expect Cao Jun to be so brave.

However, the infantry was very tired due to the rapid march, and they had no ability to step forward to save the situation, and the adjutant general next to him said anxiously.

“Great General, I’m waiting for the army to retreat!”

It was only a matter of time before the cavalry of the Yuan army was defeated, but the infantry in the army now had no combat strength, and if the enemy chased after them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“The whole army obeys the order and withdraws!”

A trace of struggle flashed in Zhang Xun’s eyes, but he still ordered, and the deputy general breathed a sigh of relief and relayed it to the generals.

The rear of Yuan’s army directly became the front army and began to retreat to the nearest city, while Zhang Xun fled with his guards.

Xia Hou Tian and the others had completely separated the cavalry of the Yuan army, and when they saw that the enemy infantry was retreating, they immediately shouted loudly.

“Surrender to avoid death, and those who surrender do not kill!”

Seeing that their own army was retreating, Yuan’s cavalry had no intention of fighting, so they all threw down their weapons and began to surrender.

Xiahou Tuan left more than 20,000 horses to pacify the cavalry of the Yuan army, and led the remaining soldiers and horses to start chasing and killing.

Although after a fierce battle, there was still room for the good horses of the Cao army, which was nothing less than a nightmare for the retreating Yuan army.

Yuan Jun’s 100,000 infantry marched without sustained physical strength, and faced the iron cavalry of the Cao army, whose morale was unprecedentedly high, and directly fell into a rout situation.

The chase did not stop until night approached, and Zhang Xun led the remaining tens of thousands of pawns into the nearby city.

The grain and grass were all thrown on the way to escape, watching the army injured more than sixty percent, Zhang Xun spewed out a mouthful of blood and passed out…

Ji Ling died in battle, and the news of Zhang Xun’s defeat soon spread to Shouchun, and in the imperial study, Yuan Shuzheng looked at the battle report angrily and said in a deep voice.

“Zhang Xun led an army of 150,000 and faced tens of thousands of cavalry of the Cao army, and he was so defeated!”

“Still in a hurry to march, are you in such a hurry to send death, how did you choose such a fool as a great general.”

In the face of Yuan Shu’s angry words, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, who were sitting opposite each other, both had bitter smiles on their faces, and Yan Xiang was even more helpless.

Obviously, before the expedition, he specifically told Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, but he did not expect that these two people would forget their words and did not listen to them at all.

Rashly marching and losing a big defeat, Ji Ling just fought and died, the casualties of the soldiers were not large, but Zhang Xun was injured by nearly 100,000.

Such a large casualty was enough to make Yuan Jun hurt his muscles, Yan Xiangchang breathed a sigh of relief, groaned slightly, and bowed and said.

“Your Majesty, now that our army has been defeated, morale is at a low time, it is not appropriate to confront the enemy army head-on!”

“Weichen suggested closing the defensive line, fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, and transferring the nearby people and soldiers to Shouchun City.”

“Shouchun City is well defended, as long as I wait for the troops to hold on, the enemy army has hundreds of thousands of troops, and it will be difficult to break through.”

“After a long time, the enemy troops will definitely withdraw because they have traveled a long way and have insufficient supplies of grain and grass!”

Yan Xiang had been thinking about this strategy for a long time, and he was afraid that Ji Ling and Zhang Xun would rashly march in and lose the defeat, but he did not expect to be so completely defeated.

Listening to Yan Xiang’s analysis, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Yuan Shu’s eyes, and he loved to kill Ji Ling’s scheme, thinking that he could send troops to fight back.

Moreover, Liu Bei’s side only has 50,000 soldiers, and if he can win the battle, he will definitely be able to boost the morale of his side and stop the current decadent trend.

Otherwise, after the news of the defeat spread, it would definitely cause an uproar up and down the hall, and just when Yuan Shu wanted to speak, the soldiers outside came to report.

“Your Majesty, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu rebelled, bringing Guangling Taishou Wu Jing and Yuzhang Taishou Sun Bian to raise troops together.”

“Sun Ce has led the troops to capture Danyang, Taishou Yuan Yin died in battle, and all the nearby counties have fallen, please ask Your Majesty to decide!”

Hearing the general’s report, a look of shock already appeared on Yuan Shu’s face, and he forcibly endured the movement in his throat and waved his hand to let him go down first.

After the soldier left, Yuan Shu couldn’t hold back any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yan Xiang and Yang Hong hurriedly stepped forward to caress.

Yuan Shu’s face turned pale, he exhaled a few deep breaths, waved his hand at Yang Hong and Yan Xiang beside him, and after sitting down, said in a deep voice.

“Sun Bofu actually dared to rebel against Yu Xun, but it’s a pity that Zhang Xun, this waste, has just damaged a hundred thousand troops, otherwise he will definitely send troops to fight him!”

“Yan Xiang is right what you expected, I should be more guarded against the thief’s descendant, Sun Bofu, now I can only hold on to Shouchun, you two arrange it!”

“No!”

Yan Xiang and Yang Hong led the way, and only Yuan Shu was left in the imperial study, and I saw him take out the inheritance jade seal from the brocade box and play with it, and muttered at the same time.

“Shun is the son of destiny, how can the battle situation fall to such an end, this cannot be at the same time, Danyang County, Taishou Mansion.”

During the banquet, Sun Ce led everyone to sit opposite each other, and the case was full of fine wine and food, and Sun Ce said after drinking a glass of wine first.

“Gentlemen, the scouts have just received the news that the Cao army of tens of thousands of iron cavalry defeated Zhang Xun’s 150,000 army, and killed nearly 100,000 prisoners.”

“And Zhao Zilong beheaded Ji Ling on the other side, this Cao Jun’s military master Cao Zizhan, really didn’t deceive me and wait, it was so easy.”

Sun Ben and Wu Jing and the other rewards were a little surprised after hearing this, thinking that Cao Chen wanted to urge them to act faster, but they did not expect that they could win a big victory.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu were also a little surprised when they heard this, and after thinking about it, they already had a calculation in their hearts, and Zhou Yu said with a solemn face.

“Bo Fu, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling are all reckless men who are greedy and aggressive, and Zhang Xun shouted his strength and chose to march urgently, which allowed Cao Jun to seize the opportunity.”

“And Cao Zizhan sent Zhao Zilong to kill Ji Ling, but Liu Xuande was a little uncomfortable, and Liu Xuande, who had no combat achievements, could only lead troops to attack the city and further oppress the Yuan army.”

“However, the battles in these two places have indeed created opportunities for me to successfully take these counties, and Yuan Highway has fallen into defeat.”

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, everyone was thoughtful, and they all had a certain interest in Cao Chen, and Lu Su said after a low groan.

“When Cao Zizhan planned Chang’an at that time, he also did not pay much price, and several strategies were interlocked, and he used his strength to fight.”

“Although this time is a crusade against Yuan Highway in the name of the Son of Heaven, it is also a full use of my participation in the war, which has a great impact on Yuan Jun.”

“Liu Xuande of the Xuzhou assassination history is induced by name, and I have to work hard to win some battle achievements, while I am inducing these counties in Danyang to benefit.”

“Under the combined forces of the three parties, Yuan Jun directly fell into defeat, this Cao Zizhan, is indeed not simple, can be a friend when he is invincible!”

Hearing Lu Su’s analysis, everyone gasped, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yu frowned, nodded and said.

“What Zijing said is reasonable, although I now occupy some counties and counties, it is still the time of trouble, and it is the best policy to befriend Cao Zizhan!”

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked at Sun Ce, who was drinking, and a brilliant light flashed in Sun Ce’s eyes, and he said loudly.

“Since Gong Jin and Zijing said so, then I will send troops to Shouchun tomorrow, just in time to meet the inscrutable Cao Zizhan.”
