But after hearing these words, Cao Hong suddenly woke up. Yes, there is Chang'an in the west. If he died here, how should Chang'an be guarded?
Thinking of this, Cao Hong raised his sword and broke through Wei Yan, then turned his horse's head and rushed back.
"Gather the remaining troops and break out to the west." Cao Hong shouted.
"Kill." Some generals led their troops to rush forward, while others led their troops to cut off the rear. The elite soldiers were still elite troops. The soldiers of Cao's army who cut off the rear were fierce and unstoppable, and the offensive of Wei Yan's army was temporarily slowed down by the killing.
Cao Hong led his troops out of Tongguan from the west and headed for Chang'an. Wei Yan, who followed, stopped near Guanguan.[
"General, won't you lead your troops in pursuit?" One of his confidants asked Wei Yandao.
"Tongguan has been captured. Cao Hong's escape with his troops is not a big problem. Besides, both sides are infantry and we can't catch up." Wei Yan shook his head and said.
"Control Tongguan and welcome the general to enter the pass." Immediately afterwards, Wei Yan waved his hand and ordered.
"Promise." The soldiers all agreed and fought back to Tongguan to completely eliminate the remaining soldiers of Cao Cao in the city.
On this day, Liu Feng led his troops to attack the second most powerful pass in the world. Although he had been raising his troops for several months, the actual attack took less than a day, which is a legend.
Early the next morning, the sky cleared up. The handsome flag with the word "Wei" in front of Tongguan Pass had been taken down and replaced with the handsome flag with the word "Han". In front of the pass, the gate was wide open.
At this time, Liu Feng led the guards and entered the pass. It was to attack the pass anyway, and he had no part in it. Even though the fighting had gradually stopped last night, the sergeants on the left and right were afraid that there were still Cao soldiers remaining in the pass and prevented him from entering the pass.
Therefore, Liu Feng was not able to enter the pass until now. After entering the pass, Liu Feng took a look at the situation inside the pass. Countless Cao Jun camps, food and grass were burned, and everything was dark. There were soldiers everywhere transporting coke out of the city, and
Pick up the scattered weapons and crossbows.
The air is filled with the pungent smell of burning. You can also hear the moaning and wailing sounds of wounded soldiers. It can be seen how tragic the battle last night was. At least, for Sergeant Cao in Guanzhong, it was very miserable.
.
"Meet the general." At this moment, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping and another middle-aged general whom they had never met before came to Liu Feng and saluted.
"Generals, please excuse me." Liu Feng saw a gentle smile on his face, raised his hand and said. Then, Liu Feng looked at the middle-aged general again, but he knew that this person was Zhang Heng.
So he smiled and said: "Today's battle is all thanks to the general."
"It is the duty of a minister to conquer the Han Dynasty. The general said something serious." At this moment, in front of Liu Feng, Zhang Heng seemed a little restrained and said in a very formal manner.
Liu Feng knew that Zhang Heng might not have enough confidence because he was a surrendered general rather than a direct descendant. So he smiled and changed the subject: "I heard that the general lost a lot of soldiers in the battle with Cheng Yin?"
"Exactly." Zhang Heng didn't know what Liu Feng meant when he heard this, but he answered honestly.
"How many prisoners of Cao's soldiers were there last night?" Liu Feng raised his head and asked Wei Yandao.
"Reporting back to the general, there are more than 10,000 people." Wei Yan has been in Guanzhong all night, so he has naturally calculated these statistics, and he immediately replied after hearing this.
"Well, General Zhang can take 10,000 prisoners to make up a battalion of troops." Liu Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, General." Zhang Heng suddenly lost his restraint upon hearing this and said with great joy.[
This is a signal, this is a signal of Liu Feng's trust. What can be a better way to show trust than giving it to soldiers?
Seeing this, Liu Feng smiled and nodded, and the trust between him and Zhang Heng was strengthened without any trace. Zhang Heng, a strong general in Guanzhong, betrayed Wei again and had no way out.
Liu Feng did not want to give Zhang Heng ten thousand households to support him in his old age, but wanted him to continue to lead the army and conquer for the Han Dynasty.
"Where is Cao Hong?" Liu Feng asked again after dealing with Zhang Heng's matter.
"The general was incompetent and did not leave Cao Hong behind. He led his troops to break through to the west." Wei Yan immediately apologized after hearing this.
"Let's ignore the fish that slipped through the net for now." Liu Feng was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't blame Wei Yan and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, we have captured Tongguan, and the Sili is as stable as a mountain. The great prosperity of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner. It is gratifying and congratulatory. Let's kill the pigs and sheep and reward the soldiers." Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng laughed and ordered.
The laughter was full of heroism and emotion. It was not easy. After several months of operation, we finally reached this point. The Han Dynasty moved its capital back to Luoyang, marking the great prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
It's good to go down to Tongguan, it's good to go down.
"Promise." Wei Yan and other generals also showed joy on their faces and all agreed.
