In the firelight, he often encountered the spring horse and dancing the knife, directly taking the middle of the Jingzhou army, and cutting off the retreating men and horses to Jiangxia.
Huang Zhong, who was opening the road in front, heard the chaos in the rear, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to lead the troops to come to the rescue, and was lined up in a phalanx by the crossbowmen under Chang Yuchun, and a burst of random arrows burst out, shooting a large area.
There were only four or five thousand people who followed Huang Zhong to rush over, and the main force of the brigade was intercepted to the other end by Chang Yuchun's fresh force.
In addition, the whole army fought fiercely for a day and night, the people were sleepy, the horses were tired, and they were hungry, and they charged three or five times in a row, and they could not shake the phalanx of Chang Yuchun at all, and they could only watch the more than 20,000 main forces led by Wen Ping and Kuai Liang being intercepted in the middle.
"General Huang Hansheng retreat for the time being, I'll find another way to break through" In front of Chang Yuchun's interception, and then there was Yang Zaixing, Dong Xi, Huo Jun's relentless pursuit, Wen Ping led his troops to fight to the death, losing thousands of soldiers, and still could not break through the defense line built by this new force led by Chang Yuchun, so he had to order the soldiers to shout loudly and let Huang Zhong retreat first.
The situation is critical, and if you can break through, you can count as much as you can, and if you continue to stalemate, you will eventually be wiped out What made the Jingzhou soldiers desperate was not only that there were interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, but also that the journey back to Xiangyang in the south was also followed by the men and horses of Guan Yu all the way to set up ambushes and make up for the knife.
Although Guan Yu's troops did not participate in the battle with all their might, they had been marching eastward in parallel with the Jingzhou army.
In order to capture a small group of deserters who broke away from the main force and went south to Xiangyang, and along the way, they gained a lot, and more than 6,000 people have been captured before and after, which is definitely good news for Liu Bei, who is short of soldiers and major generals.
"All the Army to the North" There is an interception in front, there are chasing soldiers in the rear, and there is also an ambush and a dull stick in the south of the Yu army, and this Jingzhou army is almost difficult to fly.
In desperation, Wen Ping decisively ordered the whole army to break through to the north.
Under the command of Wen Ping, the remaining more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers turned north, followed the wilderness post road, and went north in the dark.
Huang Zhong didn't know where Wen Ping planned to go, but now that he has come, he can only take the best policy, and if he can escape, he will count as one.
"The whole army marched to the southeast and ran to Jiangxia" After Huang Zhong waved his sword, he led the remaining 5,000 people to step on the night, along the mountain path, shuttled through the barren grass, and retreated in the direction of Jiangxia.
Seeing the main force of the Jingzhou army turning back to the north, Yang Zaixing and Chang Yuchun were overjoyed, "Haha, this Jingzhou army has already panicked, and it is going north, but I want to see how they turn back to Jingzhou" At that moment, the two teams joined forces, followed by the main force of Wenpin, chased them for forty or fifty miles, killed more than 3,000 people, and captured more than 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers and soldiers.
After several waves of men and horses fought desperately, after losing eight or nine thousand people, the main force of the Jingzhou army gradually threw off the Han army that was chasing after them.
Wen Ping and Kuai Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking back around, there were only 12,000 of the 60,000 horses they brought at the beginning, and the road back to Jingzhou had been blocked, and it was difficult to return home.
"It's come to this, what can I do" Wen Ping, who was covered with dust and frost, hunted the north, and asked Kuai Liang beside him with a blank face.
Kuai Liang thought for a while, and muttered: "If you go north for more than two hundred miles, you will enter the territory of Xuchang, and I will go to Cao Gong, which is better than returning to the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Wen Ping weighed it, and could only agree with Kuai Liang's suggestion: "That's the only way, it's better to take refuge in Cao Gong than to defect to the lord's enemy, so that we can be regarded as doing our duty to Liu Jingzhou."
After making up their minds, more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops hastily filled their stomachs, continued to march north against the bitter north wind, and went to Xuchang to join Cao Cao.
Huang Zhong led the remaining more than 5,000 people along the trail to Jiangxia, and saw that the Han army was all chasing the main force north, and one by one they fell into a hanging heart.
After walking forward for another twenty or thirty miles, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves in the northeast shook loudly, but it turned out that Qin Qiong led six thousand elite light cavalry to kill, and saw the torches of the Jingzhou army winding on the road, so he waved his troops and rushed over.
"The thieves are gone, and the Zhennan general Qin Shubao is here" In the firelight, Qin Qiongfei shouted thunder leopard under his crotch, carried a golden stove gun, and led the light cavalry to rush into the exhausted defeated army of Jingzhou.
Invincible all the way, the Jingzhou army that was killed lost their armor and collapsed.
In the face of the superior cavalry, these Jingzhou generals were desperate, knowing that resisting any longer was only a dead end, so they surrendered one after another.
Huang Zhong saw that the general trend had gone, so he could only take dozens of horsemen to break through the encirclement and go to Jiangxia along the sheep intestine path.
After running wildly all the way, Huang Zhong fled more than ten miles with his own soldiers, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Qiong's team had not caught up.
It was dawn, and it was the darkest time of the day.
The cold wind whistled, blowing the reeds all over the ground and dancing wildly in the wind, and Huang Zhong took the lead, shuttling through the reeds along the path.
Suddenly, countless hook and sickle spears suddenly poked out from the reeds on both sides, and thousands of human heads poured out in an instant, shouting in unison, "Where will the thief go, we have been waiting for a long time" Huang Zhong was caught off guard and was shot in the horse's hooves, and the war horse crawled on the ground, overturning Huang Zhong under the horse.
Huang Zhong was about to turn over and rise up with a knife and a cane, when suddenly a large net fell from the sky and covered him.
Ma Zhong carried a bow and arrow, and surrounded Huang Zhong with hundreds of crossbowmen: "The thief will dare to do a senseless struggle again, and Hugh blames the bow and arrow for being ruthless."
Seeing that all his entourage was captured, he stumbled again.
Covered in a net.
Huang Zhong had no choice but to sigh, discarded the big knife in his hand, and grabbed it.
"Haha, it turned out to be Huang Hansheng, the general of Jingzhou, quickly repair a book, pass it to Xiapi, and report it to Your Majesty" After figuring out Huang Zhong's identity, Ma Zhong couldn't help but be ecstatic. sent someone to tie up Huang Zhong's five flowers, and sent a fast horse to Xiapi, thousands of miles away, to report to the Son of Heaven.
During the Northern Expedition to Qingzhou, Ma Zhong was Xue Rengui's deputy general, but after Tian Zhen joined, Liu Wei made Ma Zhong Chang Yuchun's deputy general, and has been following Chang Yuchun to conquer Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
After breaking through Peixian, Ma Zhong came to Wancheng to support with the starry night of Changyu, and after Runan, the two soldiers marched in two ways.
Ma Zhong led 5,000 people to the line of Miyang and Yiyang, and heard that Xiangyang was successfully attacked by Sun Ce, and Liu Biao fled to Jiangxia, Ma Zhong was keenly aware that the Jingzhou army in Wancheng was likely to retreat to Jiangxia, so he set up an ambush on this reed-covered path, and finally succeeded in catching Huang Zhong, a big fish.
The sky was dark, and the dust had finally fallen from the battle.
The corpses of the dead in battle can be seen everywhere in Nanyang County, mottled with blood everywhere, and armor everywhere.
Chang Yuchun and Qin Qiong raised troops to meet Yue Fei at the foot of Wancheng, and Ma Zhong also escorted Huang Zhong to see Yue Fei.
Seeing Huang Zhong being captured alive, Yang Zaixing couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Haha Huang old horseman, I didn't expect you to be captured today, what else do you have to say?"
Huang Zhong closed his eyes tightly, and said proudly: "Since you are a prisoner under the order, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it."
Yue Fei bowed his hand and said: "The general is full of martial arts, why bother with Mingzhu secretly casting, if he is willing to serve Liu Biao, a thief, if he is willing to restrain himself from the precipice and serve the imperial court, if he wants to come to the general's ability, he can naturally go down in history."

Huang Zhong's eyes were closed, he didn't say a word, and he looked like he was listening to it.
Seeing Huang Zhong's performance like this, Yue Fei didn't have time to persuade him to surrender here, so he ordered someone to temporarily put Huang Zhong in prison, turn around and deal with it, and continue to arrange military forces everywhere.
At noon, news came from Wuguan that Gao Changgong and Xu Rong opened the city gate, killed Fan Chou, and took the southeast gate of Chang'an in one fell swoop.
Seven hundred miles away from Chang'an, there is no such a precipitous checkpoint fortress, which pulls out a strong fortress for the future attack on Chang'an.
Yue Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered Huo Jun to lead 15,000 troops to Wuguan to assist Gao Changgong in defense.
He also ordered Yang Zaixing and Dong Xi to lead the army to attack Xinye City and take this gateway north of Xiangyang.
It was only a hundred miles from Wancheng to Xinye, and the Jingzhou soldiers had already fled without a trace, and Yang Zaixing smoothly led his troops to occupy Xinye and sent someone to report to Yue Fei.
At the end of the war, Guan Yulai met with Yue Fei and said: "This time, I sent troops from Shangyong, firstly, to help His Majesty retreat from the enemy, and secondly, to recover the territory, the Fangling and Nanxiang areas in the west of Jingzhou have all been returned to our army.
At present, there are only two places in the hands of the elder brother, Hanzhong and Shangyong, and he hopes that the governor of Yue will write to the Son of Heaven and assign this land to the elder brother."
"Thank you General Guan for leading the troops to help, and Fei Zidang should show Your Majesty the merits of you and Uncle Huang" Yue Fei bowed his hand to Guan Yu and thanked him.
Guan Yu led the troops to retreat, leaving Yan Xing and Xiang Pet to guard Nanxiang, and he took Du Ruhui, a strategist recommended by Fang Xuanling, and Zhou Cang, who was carrying a big knife, to lead the troops back to Shangyong and recuperate for a period of time.
On the one hand, he sent people to investigate the war in Bashu, and reported the fruitful results he had obtained in Jingzhou to Liu Bei.
After Liu Wei learned of the battle situation in Wancheng, he was overjoyed, and sent an edict ordering Qin Qiong to be the deputy governor, and he and Chang Yuchun obeyed orders under Yue Fei.
After recuperating for a winter, he will go south to attack Xiangyang in the spring of the following year, striving to sweep away Sun Ce as soon as possible and eliminate Liu Biao, who is still breathing.
He also told Haosheng to entertain Huang Zhong in prison and give him enough respect, and he would send someone to invite Han Xuan to Wancheng to persuade him to surrender, and use Han Xuan's friendship with Huang Zhong to persuade him to return to the imperial court.
In order to win over Liu Bei, Liu Wei revised a book to commend Guan Yu's merits, and awarded him the title of "Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion", Yongzhou Mu and General Wei, and allowed the Nanxiang area to be classified as Nanxiang County, which was under Liu Bei's jurisdiction.
This unprecedented battle came to an end, Liu Biao became the biggest loser, and the 60,000 horses sent out were not only wiped out, but also by Zhou Yu to open the gate of Jiangling, kill Cai Zhong, Cai and the two brothers, and connect the two counties of Jiangling and Xiangyang with the entire Jingnan, and the momentum was great.
However, Liu Biao only had a Jiangxia and 40,000 horses left in his hands, and it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.
Wancheng's good news has not yet been read, and Li Jing's envoy has heard good news from the bank of the Yellow River, "The Yellow River defense line has been completely controlled, the post road fortresses between Qingzhou and Jizhou have been fully occupied, the connection between Qingzhou and Jizhou has been completely cut off, the encirclement has been formed, and the next step is to catch turtles in the urn." t1706231537:
