Chapter 276 and state ownership 8

"Kill"

With the order of the commander of the Chinese barracks, the wolf roared and quickly joined the regiment. Suddenly, the Bingzhou army retreated like a sheep seeing the wolves.

The Bingzhou Army, which was already at the end of the crossbow, collapsed under the fierce attack of the middle barracks. Except for a few who escaped, the rest knelt down and asked to surrender. The guard escaped as an ordinary soldier.

The tragic siege finally ended, and the Youzhou army took this dangerous pass from the Bingzhou army at the cost of more than 5,000 casualties. Since then, Bingzhou has been in no danger.

Li Zhong led the rest of the iron guards to enter Huguan, and saw the dejected surrender of the Bingzhou army being confiscated by the soldiers of the Youzhou army, and the remains of the soldiers killed in the Youzhou army were also collected and installed, waiting to be cremated, and sent back to Youzhou for burial after the end of the war.

The injured soldiers smiled under the careful care of the military doctor. Although they were a new army and did not have much record, they told Li Zhong with their performance today and told everyone that they were the pride of the Youzhou Army.

"Good students place the remains of the fallen soldiers and take good care of the wounded soldiers", Li Zhong said to Deng Zhan when he entered the Huguan office.

"Yes, lord," Deng Zhanying said.

Li Zhong nodded to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, now that our army has taken the Huguan, immediately sent a letter to Zilong Feige, so that he did not have to come, and immediately lead the army to attack the eldest son, so as not to have many dreams at night." There seemed to be a trace of anxiety in his words.

Guo Jia nodded and then retreated.

"Well, everyone is tired. Let's go down and have a rest. Gongming, you are on duty tonight," Li Zhong said.

"Yes, Lord"

The generals withdrew from the treatment center.

When the sun sets, the sun is like blood, the quiet night sky replaces the noisy day, and the earth is quiet.

One night passed, the morning sun gradually rose, the earth replaced darkness with light, and a new day is coming.

"Uncle, you lead 10,000 soldiers and wounded soldiers to guard the Huguan. The rest of the generals will follow me to beat the eldest son directly," Li Zhong said to the generals in high spirits.

"Yes, Lord"

One hundred thousand troops passed through Huguan and went north, like a black dragon, winding around the side of Taihang Mountain.

In the first battle yesterday, the Youzhou army lost nearly 8,000 soldiers, of which nearly 4,000 were killed, and the rest were seriously injured.

And Chen also faithfully performed his duties. After Li Zhong left, he immediately sent troops to repair the broken wall of Huguan yesterday in case of accidents.

Zhao Yun led the elite of the First Legion of 50,000 to Changzi County, which is about two feet high, neither high nor low.

The Taishou of the Upper Party has concentrated the rest of the Party's defenders in the eldest son. In addition to the nearly 20,000 defenders annihilated by the Youzhou army in Huguan Jiguan, the eldest son still has more than 35,000 defenders, of which 5,000 are temporarily expanded civilian troops, with combat effectiveness and underground, but it is better than nothing.

Five thousand First Army soldiers surrounded the eldest son to prevent the scouts in the eldest son from fleeing to Taiyuan to report the news.

And the general who escaped from Huguan also fled to his eldest son.

"Where is your 10,000 army? Didn't you swear to promise me that you would block the Youzhou army for at least ten days? Ah, you are talking." The eldest son, Taishou, roared at the general, and his heart was extremely angry.

"General, I...", the general of Hu Guanshou was so submissive that he didn't even dare to look at the Taishou, so as not to make him more angry. That's not fun. I guess if it really comes to that situation, whether his little life can be saved is an unknown index. .

"I, I, I'm far from you, come here, drag out the defeated general who defeated the military power and kill him." The Taishou gasped heavily. In one day, he not only lost the pot, but also lost 10,000 troops cleanly. When he escaped from the Huguan, he basically belonged to the house. I feel it.

"General, spare my life, general..." Hearing this, the guard quickly begged for mercy and blinked at several generals beside him from time to time.

"Go out". Before he finished speaking, the Taishou waved his hand. Obviously, he was a little impatient.

"slow"

A civil official shouted.

When the eunuch saw that someone questioned his decision, he immediately frowned and turned his head to see that it was his staff. He immediately said unhappily, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?" There was a trace of anger and doubt in his words.

Mr. Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency, as the old saying goes, it is very unfavorable to behead the generals. Although General Zhou has, it is also rebutable. I hope you will fall lightly."

The ekeeper pondered for a moment, stared at the general, and then said, "Well, in the face of the generals and Mr. Zhao, I will spare your life for the time being. After this battle, it will be handed over to Lord Zhoumu."

"call"

The guard finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mr. Zhao gratefully, and then stood aside tremblingly.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you think we should do to save our eldest son now?" Mr. Zhao looked too far and asked, with hope in his eyes shining.

Mr. Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, I don't think we can stop the attack of the Youzhou army. Today's plan is nothing more than to strictly prevent the rebellion in the city. In addition, immediately ask Lord Zhou Mu for help, otherwise it will be difficult to keep the eldest son."

Tai Shou sighed and stared at the pot of Guan Shou fiercely, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Well, that's all there is to do now," Taishou said.

"Report, adult"

"What's the matter?"

"This is a letter from the state herdsman," and an officer handed a letter to the Taishou.

The Taishou looked at it and shouted, "Great, haha."

"What's going on, is it..." Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes and said to himself.

"Haha, Mr. Zhao, the lord has sent General Zhang Liao to lead 30,000 troops to support us. It is estimated that it will arrive in two days," Taishou said with relief.

"I hope to wait until General Zhang Liao comes," Mr. Zhao sighed and said with some confidence, but he was very quiet and did not let the Taishou hear it. He knew that if the hard-won confidence was destroyed by him, there would be no need to fight this battle.

"Okay, all the generals go down and have a rest," the Taishou said to the people in the hall.

"Yes"

......

"Lord, the news came from Zhang Yan," Guo Jia came to Li Zhong's account and said.

Li Zhong took it over and took a look, "I don't know what's the plan for filial piety," Li Zhong asked.

"The only way to do this is to let General Zilong quickly capture the eldest son, otherwise it will be very difficult when the reinforcements of Bingzhou arrive," Guo Jia said.

Li Zhong shook his head and said to Guo Jia and said, "There are only 150,000 troops in Ding Yuan's hand. Jiguan, Huguan was annihilated 20,000 by our army, 30,000 were the eldest son, and 30,000 reinforcements. This adds up to almost a lot of the Bingzhou army. If we annihilate these 30,000 reinforcements, the rest of the battle will be much better."

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Master, this is a wonderful plan."

(Taiyuan City is also called Jinyang, Quyang, and this is called Taiyuan)

Li Zhong waved his hand and said, "We are not far from the eldest son. If we want to ambush the enemy's reinforcements, we have to use the tiger and leopard iron, which is faster."

"Guo Jia nodded and agreed with Li Zhong.

"Since filial piety agrees, let's do it this.

Li Zhong immediately called the generals of each army. Li Zhong led 50,000 tiger and leopard iron horses to ambush Zhang Liao's reinforcements. The generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Deng Zhan and Liu Xian accompanied him, and the rest of the generals led the rest of the troops to the eldest son to meet Zhao Yun.

The next day, Li Zhong led 50,000 iron horses north, and the foot army, led by Guo Jia, also slowly went to his eldest son.

The whole Taihang Mountain basically separates Jizhou and Bingzhou. The north of the eldest son is basically a plain area, and Li Zhong chose the ambush site about 80 miles north of the eldest son. According to the local people, it is called Hujia Town.

The terrain here is relatively complex, and several places are hilly, which is an ideal ambush zone.

Li Zhong's 50,000 tigers and leopards were ambushed on a hill led by Li Zhong, and more than 100 scouts were also sent out by Li Zhong.

And 30,000 Bingzhou reinforcements also came to Hujia Town under the leadership of Zhang Liao.
