Yuan Shang was so shocked by the sudden change in front of him that he almost fell off his horse. It was his first time to command an army in battle. He didn't know how to respond. He opened his mouth, but he could only shout: "Don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic." One response measure I can't even imagine how the former military command could avoid chaos.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici each gathered a force of troops to attack Yuan Shang. Their goal was very clear, to kill Yuan Shang, completely disrupt the command of Yuan Bing's front army, and capture more than a hundred catapults of the Chinese army.
In the midst of the revolt, Taishi Ci ran into Yuan Shang's general Yin Kai, who was restraining the troops. The two men were at odds with each other, and Taishi Ci shot Sui Yuanjin in the face, knocking him off his horse.
Zhao Yun also only met Feng Li, the superior general. He stepped forward to let Feng Li's sword strike, relaxed his ape arms, grabbed Feng Li's belt, and captured him alive with just one move.
The two men took advantage of the situation and seized the enemy general's horses, and continued to kill Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang saw two of his generals in the rebellious army being killed and captured in the blink of an eye. Zhao Yun and Taishi Cier were close at hand, and he became even more panicked. He drew his horse and walked around, shouting: "Sword Master Wang, save me and block the enemy for me." Will,"
"Wang Yue accepts the order," Wang Yue smiled cheerfully, and heard a clear dragon roar as the long sword was unsheathed. Yuan Shang felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and a huge horse head flew up from in front of him, and then Yuan Shang's figure froze, and he fell down from the headless horse. When he got up, an ancient sword as cold as autumn water was already placed on his neck.
Yuan Shang was shocked and angry and said: "Swordsman Wang, you..."
Wang Yue sneered and said: "The third young master is offended. I am a Julu general, but it was my lord who asked me to sneak into Yecheng to do something."
"You... Yecheng..." When Yuan Shang thought that he had listened to Wang Yue's advice before leading his troops out of Yecheng, he was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he felt like the world was spinning...
"Capture Yuan Shao alive..." Yuan Shao saw only two to three hundred Julu soldiers wearing Xuanying helmets and heavy iron armor rushing towards his center position. In the blink of an eye, they were already dozens of steps away. They were all invincible, and the leader A man with silver armor and a long halberd was unstoppable. He shouted: "Yuan Shaoxiu, leave, Zhang Wenyuan is here." It was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
"Stop him, stop him," Yuan Shao exclaimed, and six or seven cavalry generals around him clapped their horses to meet them. They all attacked in groups, but they were still not Wenyuan's enemies. After only a few dozen efforts, Wen Yuan killed three generals. Everyone else's fear dissipated.
On the rise of Wen Yuan Sha, he grabbed a war horse, a prancing horse and a halberd, and ran towards Yuan Shao. At this moment, his silver armor was already covered with bloodstains, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura, like a god of war, rushing towards Yuan Shao, who was only dozens of people away. He shouted: "Yuan Shao will die and leave your head behind."
Yuan Shao was shocked when he saw this. He knew that Zhang Liao was brave and had defeated the fierce general Lu Bu before Hulao Pass. He stayed here, but even a few lives were not enough to kill him. He immediately turned his horse's head and fled backwards as if lifeless. Wenyuan walked. When he came out of the tunnel, he did not ride on his Qianli horse. Yuan Shao's war horse, Shenjun, was running at great speed. There were heavy troops blocking Wen Yuan's approach. He escaped and could not catch up. He couldn't help sighing, but he quickly turned his attention to On top of Yuan Jun's large banner, he stepped forward and killed dozens of Yuan soldiers guarding the flag. He used his backhand to sever the flagpole with a halberd and cut off the flagpole as thick as a bowl.
The big banner fell.
In ancient times, the great banner of the Chinese army was used to command operations and order sergeants. If the great banner fell, it meant that the general was killed or fled. The blow to the troops was absolutely devastating. Without the great banner, the Yuan Army soldiers who were already a little uneasy were completely shaken. Losing the will to fight, no one knew who shouted, and seeing that the limelight was not right, some Yuan soldiers took the lead in turning around and running back.
Lu Bu did not receive too many attacks from the Julu soldiers. Originally, he planned to recruit troops to meet the Chinese army, but when he saw that the Chinese army's banner was broken, Lu Bu immediately changed his mind. Just kidding, seeing the soldiers of Yuan's army who were beginning to collapse, Lu Bu also immediately restrained the troops to retreat. He would not just stay and work for Yuan Shao. He was more experienced than Yuan Shao who ran away and traveled around.
Lu Bu immediately sent an order to defend the city. Thousands of soldiers attacking the city rushed back as fast as they could. They retreated from the right gate to the outside of the village in an orderly manner.
The situation on Yuan Tan's side was similar to that of Lu Bu. Seeing that the front army commanded by Yuan Shang was scattered to pieces in the blink of an eye by the sudden appearance of the giant deer soldiers, although Yuan Tan panicked, he felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart. He glanced at the battlefield expectantly, murmured a few words to himself, and then immediately ordered his generals Wang Zhao and Cen Bi to withdraw from the stronghold.
The left and right armies retreated quite smoothly. The reason was that Wen Yuan had few troops and would suffer in a full-scale battle with Yuan Jun. Therefore, Wen Yuan naturally focused his attack on Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan's central army, striving to destroy Yuan Jun's central army in one fell swoop. He took command of the army and accelerated Yuan's army's defeat.
In the end, Wen Yuan did it. Yuan Shao did not dare to fight Wen Yuan and turned around to escape. The commanders of the left and right armies had their own agendas and refused to divide their troops to support the middle. Poor Yuan Shang was defeated and captured in the first battle he commanded. The original fantasy of defeating Wenyuan in a single battle was completely different.
Compared with the two groups on the left and right, the situation of Yuan's soldiers in the middle was more miserable. Yuan Shao had already assembled nearly 20,000 troops in the middle. Wen Yuan attacked and killed them, causing them to run around in confusion. Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers swarmed into a column that was only two feet wide. In front of the gate of the village, people rushed to squeeze out of the village. The gate of the village was so crowded that even a needle could not be inserted. Behind them, more than ten thousand giant deer soldiers were like a fierce and bloody massacre. The constant screams and wails urged Yuan Bing to attack. He went crazy and crawled into the village gate.
The arc-shaped outer wall of the stronghold firmly blocked the more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers inside. If they wanted to escape, they had to pass through the two stronghold gates. At first, the 30,000 Yuan soldiers entered through the third stronghold gate to form their troops. In almost an hour, tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers were only escaping through one village gate. They were all in disarray and only knew how to burrow in. Under such circumstances, how could Yuan soldiers escape so fast?
At this time, who cares whether you are a general or a soldier, the most important thing is to escape with your life. In order to survive, many Yuan soldiers who had cooked rice in the same pot are now fighting each other with red eyes. Some unlucky Yuan soldiers are fighting each other with red eyes. The soldier was pushed down by the surging crowd, and was trampled to death by countless feet before he even had time to shout...
In the area in front of the village gate, blood and minced meat were already covered on the ground. The thick blood accumulated an inch deep. When you stepped on it, it felt sticky and uncomfortable. But Yuan Shao couldn't care about it at this time. , he finally managed to escape here. The crowd of soldiers in front of him slowed down his speed immediately. Behind him, Wen Yuan had already joined Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci, and the two soldiers and horses approached Yuan Shao again as if urging Wu Chang.
