Chapter 156: Catching Ducks


The pass of the pot.

Sitting in the lobby of the general's mansion in Guancheng were two men wearing heavy armor.

The one sitting at the bottom was Wang Cangping, who was sent by Liu Cheng, and the one sitting at the top was Mu Shun, the general at Huguankou.

Mu Shun was a strong man with a muscular face, a mustache and a mustache that were connected together.

He looked at Wang Cangping and asked in surprise: "General Right's men and horses are coming so fast these days.

It's not snowing anymore, but it's been dry and cold, the wind is strong, and there's no snow at all There were signs of melting.

The army actually marched in such bad weather and arrived at Shangdang and the others.

How did they cross Yangchangzaka?

It is an absolutely fatal place in this world.

If you are not careful, you will fall down the mountain.

Also, the Youchangzaka is only a little over a foot wide, so how can we carry the baggage?”

Liu Cheng had already sent people to explore the Yangchangzaka trail leading to Huguan.

He knew that this road was not easy to walk and that carriages could not pass at all.

Horses had to be careful all the way.

The army defeated the Huns successively in Linli County. and Yang Feng's bandit army seized a large amount of materials and property, which cannot be passed through in any case.

After crossing the Yangchangzaka Trail, he sent people to transport most of the supplies and property to Huai County, the seat of Hanoi County, and then sent people to transport them to Guanzhong and hand them over to Xu Rong and Zhao Yun for their care, and found a secret place to hide them. , he only asked the army to bring some food and a small amount of supplies, so as to facilitate the march.

Wang Cangping said to Mu Shun: "My general did not carry much baggage, only a small amount of grain, grass and supplies, which did not have much impact on the march."

In fact, if people were not sent to clear the road in advance, anyone walking on the Yangchangzaka trail leading to Huguan in this cold winter would have to worry about falling to death at any time.

Although Mu Shun was Zhang Yang's general and was not under the jurisdiction of Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng was a general of the imperial court, and he was just a county captain.

His official rank was too different from Liu Cheng's.

He should go to see Liu Cheng no matter what.

Now, When Liu Cheng summoned him, he had no reason not to go, so he said: "I see.

Since the right general has summoned me, I have arranged the affairs of Guancheng, and I will follow you to see the right general."

Liu Cheng looked at Mu Shun standing in the hall and thought that this was Mu Shun.

This guy looked quite powerful, but he didn't expect that he was just a walk-on character.

In his previous life, this guy was also unlucky.

Well, I met Lu Bu when he came out.

He was stabbed to death after every move was blocked.

It was a very useless death.

Liu Cheng asked: "Captain Mu, how are you doing with Prefect Zhang?"

Mu Shun clasped his fists and replied: "I am humbled to be the Grand Administrator.

Thank you for your greetings, General.

The Grand Administrator is very nice, but I am just worried about the court."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng sighed: "Zhang Yang must still be brooding over Ding Jianyang's death.

How does he view this matter?"

"My Lord, the Grand Administrator, believes that Dong Zhuo was a very heinous person who brought trouble to the imperial court and deceived the heaven and the earth.

Governor Ding was killed by Dong Zhuo and died unjustly."

Liu Cheng was stunned, hey, Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu, right?

Although Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to bribe Lu Bu, it was Lu Bu who really did it.

Is Lu Bu not guilty?

How did this Yang's brain grow?

Liu Cheng said: "As far as I know, Ding Jianyang was killed by Lu Bu.

Does Zhang Yang think that Lu Bu killed Ding Jianyang as a matter of course?"

Mu Shun shook his head and said: "Although what the general said is true, Lu Bu's murder of Ding Jianyang was bribed and instigated by Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu was just a knife, and the culprit was Dong Zhuo.

My eunuch said that Ding Jiashi suppressed Lu Bu a lot when he was still alive, and he has merit.

Without reward and heavy punishment for mistakes, anyone would be dissatisfied."

Well, Liu Cheng was really speechless about Zhang Yang's moral standards and attitude.

He put down the matter and said to Mu Shun: "This matter has passed, so I won't talk about it anymore.

This general is here to beg the thieves.

I'm here to find you today."

Inquire about the situation of the rebel army and the situation of Shangdang County soldiers.

Please tell me what I believe."

"No" Mu Shun agreed with his fists clasped and began to speak immediately.

Liu Cheng listened quietly.

The situation that Mu Shun introduced was generally similar to what Wang Yue's Shadow Guards had investigated, but it was far less clear than the Shadow Guards' investigation.

After Mu Shun finished speaking, Liu Cheng said to him: "This general plans to adopt a strategy of attacking the bandits in Shangdang County first from the south and then from the north.

He will attack the Han Siam tribe first, and then attack the Hu Cai tribe in the north.

With Zhang Prefect Naturally, Hu Caibu's military strength cannot be defeated at this stage, and I don't need him to fight to the end with Hu Caibu.

As long as he can contain Hu Caibu, he will not let him go.

He is running around with bandit troops.

After you return, immediately send someone to Xiangyuan to see Zhang Yang and tell him the general's plan and ask him to make corresponding arrangements.

You must not allow Hu Cai's tribe to flee eastward or Beishan.

Even if it cannot be contained, We must also find a way to force him into the territory of Hedong.

If Hu Cai's troops advance north or east, I, the general, will only ask him, remember?"

Mu Shun solemnly clasped his fists and said: "I must send someone to bring the general's words to you."

Afterwards, the army rested in Huguan City for two days and then marched westward, creating a huge momentum.

Even if the news was blocked, Han Xian's bandit army quickly got the news.

The bandit leader Han Xian learned that the imperial court had sent tens of thousands of elites.

The teacher was worried and knew that he was unable to compete.

On the one hand, he sent someone to notify Guo Da and Hu Cai, and on the other hand, he made plans to run away.

The Han Siamese bandit army did not fight with the Northern Army and did not know the combat power of the imperial army.

The reason why they were afraid was because the imperial army was large and powerful.

Liu Cheng knew this very well.

If he wanted to achieve his strategic goal, he had to fight to make them afraid.

Let them be frightened and flee in panic when they hear the name of the imperial army.

Therefore, on the one hand, Liu Cheng sent Zhang Liao to lead a vanguard of 3,000 light cavalry to attack Han Siam at the fastest marching speed.

On the other hand, Liu Cheng sent someone to notify Du Kai in Hedong, asking him to lead his army to join the main force.

Han Xian got the news too late.

He didn't hear the report until the main force of Liu Cheng's army arrived sixty or seventy miles away.

He was furious and killed all the spies who reported the news.

However, killing people was useless.

He had no choice but to He did not order his men to pack up their belongings and food and prepare to run away.

However, Zhang Liao's 3,000 vanguard light cavalry arrived quickly.

Han Xian learned that Zhang Liao only had 3,000 men, and immediately led his bandits to fight against Zhang Liao.

Outside Qinshui City on the bank of the Qin River, Han Xian and his 5,000 troops were waiting in formation.

The formation of the bandits was quite impressive, but upon closer inspection, it was just a show.

As Zhang Liao led With three thousand light cavalry galloping over, a large number of cavalry galloped causing a rumbling earthquake sound that frightened the bandits one by one.

The snow on the ground kept shaking, as if the world would be turned upside down at any time.

The bandits suddenly became timid, and many of them moved faintly to the rear.

When Han Xian saw it, he felt a little anxious, and immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid, they only have 3,000 people, we have 5,000 people, and we have more people than them."

No one is allowed to retreat.

Anyone who takes a step back will be killed."

One of the generals was really scared and had the courage to say to Han Siam: "Chief, no, they do have only three thousand people, but they are all cavalry, cavalry that have been in battle for a long time.

We are all just mud-legged people.

How can I fight them if I haven't even held a knife for a long time?"

Han Xian was furious and immediately drew his sword.

He raised the sword and dropped it.

The general's head was missing.

His move shocked many bandits.

"Whoever raises others' ambitions and destroys his own prestige will be like this."

The same fate as everyone else” The bandits were afraid of being killed, so they had no choice but to stay and did not dare to retreat.

Zhang Liao has been fighting with the barbarians on the northern border of Bingzhou in the past few years.

He has some understanding and practical experience of cavalry combat.

He even has the advantage of light cavalry in their mobility.

They cannot lose speed.

Once they lose speed, they lose their combat effectiveness.

When the army stops, After coming down and forming the formation, he immediately launched an attack.

The three thousand cavalry were divided into three groups and attacked from the left, center and right respectively.

The left and right wings attacked the periphery of the left and right wings of Han Siam respectively, forming a pincer attack.

Under his leadership, the middle thousand cavalry attacked the main general of the bandit army.

Han Siam.

"Kill" Han Xian looked ferocious, pulled out his machete, slapped his horse and charged towards the Northern Army cavalry.

The other bandit soldiers had to bite the bullet and follow behind to attack the Northern Army cavalry.

Infantry has only been passive defense against cavalry since ancient times.

There is no reason to take the initiative to attack.

In terms of impact strength, infantry is the opponent of cavalry.

Even if only light cavalry is rushing over, infantry cannot withstand the impact of light cavalry.

With only two rounds of cavalry shooting, a large number of arrows were shot down.

Many bandit soldiers fell on the charging road.

Some other bandit soldiers saw that so many of their companions died before they even came into contact with the imperial cavalry.

They had no courage left, so they lost their courage.

After disarming, he turned around and ran away.

"You, why are you coming back?

Come back to me."

As he was galloping on his horse, Han Xian noticed that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him.

He noticed something was wrong.

He turned around and almost made him vomit blood.

Most of the bandits were there.

Shi Zheng turned around and ran away, with only a handful of people still charging with him.

No one paid attention to Han Xian's screams.

He suddenly felt discouraged.

After yelling helplessly, he turned around and left.

The bandits who were still charging were instantly overwhelmed by the Northern cavalry.

The bandits on both sides were completely confused at this time. , being attacked from both sides and being killed, they fled one after another, which shows that the combat effectiveness is not generally low.

Zhang Liao led the cavalry in pursuit until they reached the east bank of the Qin River and had to stop the pursuit.

The defeated troops of Han and Siam sat on the frozen Qin River and rowed towards the other bank, but Zhang Liao's cavalry could not gallop on the ice.

Several Union knights tried to gallop across the ice, but they were quickly thrown off by their fallen horses.

A camp commander next to him clasped his fists and said: "Captain, why don't you send two thousand men to dismount and chase, while the rest stay to clean the battlefield and gather the prisoners?"

Zhang Liao had already received instructions from Liu Cheng.

The purpose of this battle was not to annihilate the enemy, but to drive all the bandits to the east of the river.

As long as the Han Siam tribe is driven to join Guo Da, the digging mission will be completed.

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "No, let them go and pass on the order to clean the battlefield.

They will rest here overnight today and cross the river to pursue them early tomorrow morning.

Send people to report to the general that our vanguard has defeated the bandit army Han Siam and intercepted a large amount of grain, grass, supplies and supplies from the bandit army."

At present, Han Xian has led his remaining troops to flee into Hedong County.

I will lead my troops across the Qin River to pursue them immediately."

After listening to this, the shrewd subordinates vaguely realized something, and they were all smart enough to say nothing
