Chapter 80: Zhang Liao's maddening of Hulao Pass

Looking around Tang Quan, the Dong Zhuo cavalry began to fall when it was dozens of feet away from the Cavalry. Unlike other cavalry attacks, the number of people in the front line was not large, but they all had a ten-shot crossbow in their hands. After a round of shooting, the row of people seemed to spread out on both sides. The people behind followed closely and began to shoot. Before both sides could approach the waves of crossbow arrows, they shot thousands of Dong Zhuo cavalry.

Three terrifying crossbow cavalry rushed in with several generals forcibly, and their crossbow arrows were fired everywhere, even forcing the surrounding cavalry to storm and unable to attack.

Tang Quan rushed all the way, and Diao Chan and the central army were also cleaning the left and right behind behind her. In just half a cup of tea, Tang Quan had already left the enemy's rear formation. He pointed to Diao Chan on the right and said:

"Split the troops, encircle them, and force them to surrender."

The central army had only three thousand cavalry, but Tang Quan divided his troops to the sides again. However, after they separated, they were shot out with dense crossbow arrows, the enemy was soon surrounded in the middle.

Looking at the cavalry that was swinging back and forth, the general in the cavalry was trapped in several attempts. King Aida, who was in front, raised her special crossbow arrow and aimed at the other party and shouted:

"Zhang Wenyuan, dismount quickly and surrender, otherwise these 30,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry would be slaughtered by us today."

Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, one of the top generals of the Wei Kingdom, who used the Yellow Dragon Hook Scythe, did not care about who is right and who is not good. If he did not surrender, he would be fine. Lu Bu asked Diao Chan to kill him without any consideration. If Zhang Liao did not surrender, he would have to die.

Zhang Liao is not a reckless man. It was a last resort to follow Lu Bu to surrender Dong Zhuo. At this time, Lu Bu was already dead. If he struggled, there would be no 30,000 cavalrymen left. He threw the Huanglong hook and sickle to the ground and shouted:

"Bingzhou Erlang, Lu Bu has been defeated. Everyone has seen the power of the army under the seat of General Cavalry, and we have surrendered."

Zhang Liao jumped off his horse and walked to Aida and knelt down. Seeing Zhang Liao surrender, all the Bingzhou cavalry, who were not loyal to Dong Zhuo, dismounted and threw down their weapons. On the wall, Dong Zhuo glanced at the body that was lying on the wall and said:

"You go and take over the troops in Bingzhou immediately and ask someone to take them back to Luoyang."

Li Ru hurriedly retreated to resettle the troops in Bingzhou. On the battlefield, the cavalry army put away their weapons and took the surrendered army to the rear barracks. Tang Quan rode his horse to Zhang Liao, who was still kneeling on the ground. After dismounting, he helped Zhang Liao up and said:

"Zhang Wenyuan, you are not bad at literature and martial arts, but you are wrong with the repeated villain like Lu Bu. Since you surrender to me, I will never underestimate you. When you are familiar with our army's tactics and strength, I will let you lead a stronger cavalry to fight for me."

Zhang Liao was grateful that several female generals under Tang Quan were strong, but it was not the case that they would let their wife fight in frequent wars. Moreover, the role of future war generals is more to command, and personal force confrontation will gradually decrease;

The surrender of a general like Zhang Liao, who has good military capabilities, is not bad for Tang Quan. Zhang Liao naturally knows what it is to follow the strong, and people like Tang Quan who have a high reputation and high martial arts skills have a way out. He has never seen the cavalry battle formation commanded by Tang Quan just now. Not to mention the fighting style of attack directly from a long distance, the stirrup saddles of those cavalry seem to be different. In addition, the horses do not care about the gravel on the ground when they run, which shows that Tang Quan's troops have terrifying combat power.

"Liao met with his lord, and he was the lord who was the lord to die." Zhang Liao quickly knelt on the ground and said.

Both worshiping the lord and worshiping the general are different. The lord is the lord, and the others are just the boss. You can fire the boss, but once you betray the lord, it is unfaithful and unrighteous. Therefore, once you choose the lord in this era, it will decide to die.

Zhang Liao became the master, Tang Quan helped him up and said with a smile:

"When the battle is over, you can go to my training camp to see everything. Now you go back with me to organize the surrendered army. I guess we will enter Luoyang tomorrow."

Zhang Liao said:

"So fast? But Dong Zhuo still has 120,000 troops in this pass. Even if he doesn't want to use the remaining 30,000 Bingzhou troops, it's okay to guard Hulao Pass 90,000 people."

Tang Quan laughed and said:

"Is that so? Then wait a moment, the guards unfold the attack flag, the catapults all out of the battle, and the cavalry will take a rest and guard left and right..."

As a red flag unfolded, a roar came from behind. More than 2,000 special catapults quickly came to Hulao Pass under the push of 30,000 people. There were 30,000 people transporting stones in small wooden vans. In less than half an hour, all catapults were arranged neatly one hundred feet away from Hulao Pass, and piles of stones began to be piled next to the catapults.

It was Chen Shi that Tang Quan and others started the war, and it was already the first time. Seeing that all kinds of preparations were ready, he waved dozens of small flags with his fingers, and waved the winch and pulled down the catapult rod. Then the teams began to prepare a calibration throwing stone to close the Hulao.

The three thousand trenchers popped up stones at the same time, and the rain of stones hit the surrounding Hulao Pass. Listening to the screams coming from the city walls, Tang Quan whispered:

“This is the beginning.”

Indeed, all this was the beginning. After the attack area was calibrated, continuous flying stones began to hit the city wall and the area behind the city wall.

Even those who were a hundred feet behind could hear the screams clearly. Dong Zhuo rode his war horse out of the attack range of the catapult. Looking at the soldiers guarding the gate who had suffered heavy casualties in just a short while, he clenched his fists and stared at the collapsed city tower and said in a cold voice:

"What a powerful siege weapon. In just half a day, all my troops will be destroyed. Then, let alone defending siege, there will be no living people."

Li Ru was also scared. This thing was found in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he had never seen such a powerful and large-scale catapult. The people who designed this catapult were the Red Queen and the White Queen, and they improved various mechanical structures according to the original structure. Although these catapults were not as cruel as cannons, they looked scary.

When a stone was smashed down, it would blow its head and break its hands and feet. The blood flowing under the stones and the soldiers who were hiding and screaming around it made Li Ru, who was extremely intelligent, unable to do anything for a while.

"My father-in-law, let's withdraw our troops. Staying here is like digging your own grave." Li Ru said.

Dong Zhuo said in a hatred:

"What about Luoyang? How do we protect this weapon? This weapon is too lethal and the soldiers' aura will be destroyed in an instant. It is not the same as being unprepared to retreat to Luoyang."

Li Ru said gloomyly:
Chapter completed!
