The rout has been achieved, especially after Ji Ling was surrounded, Yuan Shu, who only cared about fleeing for his life, had no intention of organizing troops to resist.
In the Runan army, there is no shortage of warriors who are not afraid of death, but when these want to fight to the death with the elite of the imperial court who follow the pursuit, they are carried away by their own rout army, even if there are warriors who are not afraid of death to rush away from the rout army and want to fight to the death with the court soldiers and horses, they are quickly annihilated in the crowd by the court army that follows, and the strength of one person is pale and powerless in such a situation.
If Yuan Shu could calm down at this time, or gather his troops in time, maybe even if he was defeated, he would not be defeated so ugly, but Zhang Liao obviously did not give Yuan Shu this opportunity, after Ma Chao rushed to help, Zhang Liao simply asked him to bring a team of men and horses, and specifically picked out those Yuan army soldiers who gathered together and had a tendency to hold together.
Zhang Liao, on the other hand, commanded the army, and according to Liu Xie's plan, drove the rout army to the direction of Yangcheng Mountain, which was not a difficult task, because from here in the direction of Yangcheng Mountain, there was only one big road to go, and Zhang Liao only needed to keep driving these Yuan troops.
Yuan Shu, who was at a loss, didn't have time to think about these questions at all, Ma Chao seemed to recognize him, every once in a while, he could always see his figure swaying around him, so frightened that Yuan Shu didn't have time to calm down and think about the direction of his march or escape had been gradually controlled by Zhang Liao.
"Stop him, stop him for me" On horseback, Yuan Shu looked at Ma Chao, who wanted to approach this side again, and was so frightened that he lay on the horse's back, shouting loudly, and at the same time pumping the horse whip vigorously, ignoring the soldiers in front of him, he continued to rush forward, and many soldiers were knocked down along the way, and then they were crushed by the chaotic army that rushed over, and they never got up again.
"This Yuan Shu, can really run" Ma Chao watched Yuan Shu once again out of his sight, and the Yuan army was routed all around, making it difficult for him to pursue, so he could only lead the men and horses out of the rout, reorganize the formation, and prepare to charge again.
Yuan Shu was coerced by the rout, all the way to the muddy, panicked and fled to the vicinity of Yangcheng Mountain, a general said loudly to Yuan Shu: "Lord, go this way, you can go straight to Yangzhai, now Yingchuan has become an empty city, we only need to pass Yangzhai, you can go back to Runan directly." ” "Go" Yuan Shu is not in the mood to care about any alliance at the moment, bullshit alliance leader, in the entire alliance, no one listens to him, now, saving his life is the most important thing, turn the horse's head at the moment, and take a group of cronies and generals to the direction of Yang Zhai.
Seeing that the avenue was in front of him, suddenly there was a shocking shout of killing in the valleys on both sides, and a large number of imperial army horses suddenly killed, which made Yuan Shu a little confused, how could there be enemy troops here "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, Yuan Highway, not dismount and surrender" in the middle of the avenue, a cavalry galloped out, as the first member of the white horse silver spear, rushed in the front, the person has not yet arrived, there is already a long bow in his hand, the arrow is like a bead, more than ten Yuan generals shot and killed.
"Zhao Zhao Zilong" Yuan Shu panicked, turned the horse and left, Zhao Yun is a general of the imperial court, when he followed Liu Xie to fight in Nanyang, Yuan Jun didn't know how many generals died in his hands, and at this moment appeared here, Yuan Shu was left with a group of routs, where did he dare to fight.
"General, run away" After Li Tong rushed to kill with the ambush soldiers, he led the men and horses to join Zhao Yun and bowed.
"I will lead the troops to continue the pursuit, and Wenda will lead a group of men and horses to collect the surrendered troops."
"Oh" Li Tong agreed, with a group of men and horses began to receive the surrender army, Zhao Yun with the main force to continue to pursue Yuan Shu, and soon joined forces with Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses, the two had known each other as early as Jizhou, and now goodbye, needless to say, after saying hello to each other, they divided the troops on both sides, and began to drive Yuan Jun from the two wings.
Yuan Shu soon found that he was surrounded, a general with a large number of soldiers and horses, blocking their way, rows of archers lined up in the open space between the mountains and tombs, and there was a big shield in front of the archers, seeing the rout headless flies rushing over, with the general shouting order, in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the black pressure of the arrow rain fell from the sky, and the surging Yuan Shu rout army was completely stunned.
Stopped, one by one at a loss to look at the court soldiers and horses in front of them who cut off their retreat, in the rear, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had also led the army to come, seeing that Huang Zhong led a group of men and horses to completely block Yuan Shu's retreat, the two tacitly did not continue to attack, but began to arrange the defense line, surrounded Yuan Shu's remnants.
Huang Zhong drove his horse out of the battle, came to the front of the two armies, looked at Yuan Jun, who was in a mess, but did not dare to step forward, a thick disdain flashed in his eyes, and said loudly: "Yuan Highway, at this time, do you still have to resist?"
Yuan Shu was suddenly shocked when he heard this, the imperial court had already laid a huge trap waiting for him to drill in, and this trap had already begun to be arranged since the division of troops among the princes of the Tiger Prison Pass, and what made Yuan Shu angry was why Liu Xie didn't go to deal with Cao Cao, Chen Deng, and Yuan Shao, but he held on to him.
"Why me," Yuan Shu roared unwillingly.
"Because you are the weakest" Guo Jia rode out of the military formation on Huang Zhong's side, looked at Yuan Shu, shook his head with pity, and said with a smile.
"I'm the weakest" Yuan Shu's eyes widened incredulously, he had 100,000 male soldiers, 100,000 Looking back, Yuan Shu sadly found that the total number of soldiers and horses around him now is less than 10,000, and the army of 100,000 has only been left until now "I forgot to tell you that Chen Deng attacked the revolving gate pass, was ambushed by our army, and now he has been shot dead in the chaos, and the Xuzhou army has retreated five days ago."
Guo Jia smiled.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he felt a little chill in his heart, not because of Chen Deng's death, but how long has the alliance of princes been until now, and there have been all the princes who have been completely finished, if you count him, by now, the two princes have been defeated by the imperial court.
"I want to see Your Majesty, I am the third duke, I want to see your majesty" Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia a little distractedly, and suddenly said loudly, he is the third duke, he is a prince, he thinks that he is still qualified to talk to the court and Liu Xie about the conditions.
"I'm sorry, you are the leader of the alliance, you take the lead in leading the army to attack the imperial court, the crime is unforgivable, Your Majesty has an order, once you have the opportunity, kill on the spot" Guo Jia shook his head, but his eyes looked at the soldiers under Yuan Shu, and said indifferently: "You are all the people of the Han family, the soldiers of the Han family, now that Yuan Shu is about to fall, it is difficult to do it, you have to accompany Yuan Shu to die together" When a group of generals of the Yuan Army heard this, they looked at each other, and many soldiers directly dropped their weapons, hugged their heads, and knelt on the ground.
They are already in a desperate situation, the number is less than 10,000, and the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress them this time are as many as 30,000, and the 100,000 army has been beaten by others and abandoned their armor Although in this era, there are many people of integrity who are not afraid of death, but as the lowest soldiers, most people join the army just for a meal of food and clothing.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, when did the court keep its promise" Yuan Shu watched a large number of soldiers kneeling on the ground and asking for surrender, he couldn't help but be confused, and hurriedly roared angrily to let these soldiers regain their fighting spirit, at least to ensure that he rushed out.
"Joke" Huang Zhong snorted coldly: "In the Nanyang army, most of them were the original Nanyang army, you can go and ask, the court will treat them badly" "Not bad" Li Tong rode out and said loudly: "Soldiers, but you still remember how much Yuan Shu has deducted everyone's military salary over the years."
Yuan Shu indulged in pleasure in Runan, and many times, the military salary could not be paid on time, and even if it was issued, the officials and soldiers would deduct a lot of money halfway, and in the end, there were only a few left in the hands of the soldiers.
"The last general is willing to surrender" A general suddenly threw away his weapon, turned over and dismounted, and fell to his knees on the ground.
"You" Yuan Shu couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and he swung his sword to kill this person.
"Poof" A sharp arrow broke through the air, and an arrow pierced Yuan Shu's wrist, Yuan Shu screamed in pain, and looked at Huang Zhong who slowly put away his bow and arrow with a pale face.
Seeing Yuan Shu's view, Huang Zhong snorted coldly: "Since you have surrendered, you are a soldier of our army, how can you let you kill you" Yuan Shu's face turned pale, looking at Huang Zhong with hatred, but there were fewer and fewer generals around him, and with the surrender of these generals, more soldiers began to kneel and ask for surrender, and in the end, Yuan Shu's side, only the strategist Yan Xiang was still standing beside him, that is, Li Feng, who was trusted by Yuan Shu on weekdays, had also knelt on the ground at this moment.
Yuan Shu's lips trembled, looking at these former sycophants, but at this moment, he distanced himself from himself with a disgusted face, his face turned pale with anger, and he suddenly turned around and looked at Guo Jia and said: "General Ben, I am also willing to surrender" Guo Jia shook his head amusedly, and said to the two soldiers beside him: "Take it" "Wait, I'm willing to surrender, why do you want to take me" Yuan Shu couldn't help but say hurriedly when he saw this.
"Lord" Yan Xiang sighed, shook his head and said: "Don't you understand, from the moment the lord became the leader of the alliance, he was destined to have no chance of survival once the matter was defeated."
Yuan Shu's face turned a little pale, and at this moment he remembered that when the alliance leader was elected, why did Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Chen Deng pass the buck to each other one by one, originally thought that these people were hypocritical, but now it seems that these people have already known this, and they are all thinking about leaving a way back for themselves, only he Yuan Shu will take the position of the alliance leader without hesitation.
"Mr. is reasonable" Guo Jia looked at Yan Xiang with a smile and said: "It's a pity that I am wrong with the mediocre master, and it is difficult to give full play to my talents, I don't know if Mr. is willing to serve the imperial court."
Yan Xiang raised his head, glanced at Guo Jia, and then at Yuan Shu, sighed vividly, and said tiredly: "The ants are still stealing life, and the elephant is willing to surrender." ” t1706231537:
