Chapter 499

Of course, Huangfu Chaobo was not idle either. After the discussion, Huangfu Chaobo handed over all the 5000 Huben cavalry in Luoyang to huyandu, and ordered him to go to the surrounding area of Pingxian county to delay the movement of Zhang Yang's army and buy time for Dugu Xiong's army. It was also at this time that the battle of the third day of Hangu pass had begun.

On the first day, in spite of the repeated exhortations of Zhang Liao and others, the high spirited Marquis LV Wenhou gave up the proposal of steady fighting and steady fighting that Chen Gong had agreed with the generals at that time, and launched a thunderbolt attack on Hangu pass. Unfortunately, Hangu pass had already made a good response. In the face of Lu Bu army's stormy attack, jujube only methodically resolved one by one. At the end of the day, Lu Bu's army lost 2000 soldiers and 3000 civilians, and the result was that they filled the moat in front of Hangu pass. As for the wall of Hangu pass, they didn't even touch it.

The next day, the angry army of Lu Bu attacked again, but after several rounds of attack and defense, they did not take advantage of it. Especially after the reinforcements of Dian Wei and two thousand high arms arrived, Lv Bu personally led an attack on Guancheng. As a result, LV Wenhou, who was the best in horse battle, was entangled by Dian Wei at the head of the city, while the soldiers around him were constantly killed by the soldiers guarding the city. Zhang Liao, who was in charge of the siege under the city, saw that the situation was not good and immediately made people cry for money. In his anger, Lv Bu could not do anything to Dian Wei, so he had to withdraw with hatred Back.

In the end, the battle damage was counted, which surprised everyone. Today, 4000 soldiers and 2000 civilians were killed, which was more than yesterday. Lu Bu's army was only 35000 soldiers in total. In two days, it lost 6000 soldiers, nearly 20%. The huge casualties made Lv Bu wake up in an instant, which reminds him of the strategy of steady fighting and steady fighting agreed by Chen Gong before he left. However, the arrogant LV Wenhou would not bow his head. Finally, under the persuasion of the generals, Lv Bu decided that Zhang Liao would be responsible for the Siege tomorrow, and he led 20000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry to sweep several strange counties in Hongnong.

After Zhang Liao took over, he immediately adjusted his strategy. On the one hand, he evacuated all the injured soldiers to Xin'an County. On the other hand, he recruited all the remaining 24000 civilians as soldiers and incorporated them into the original soldiers. At one time, the number of soldiers attacking the city reached 45000.

On the fifth day, instead of rushing to attack Hangu pass, Zhang Liao reorganized his troops and divided 45000 troops and horses into nine schools, and each school took turns to attack Hangu pass. At the end of the day, 45000 soldiers took part in a round of siege, but they did not pose any obvious threat to Hangu pass. On the contrary, the soldiers of the nine schools lost different numbers of people. However, the newly recruited soldiers have basically adapted to the battlefield atmosphere, which is very beneficial for the later battles.

As for the change of Lu Bujun, although Zaozhi felt strange, he was still calm. Although there are nearly 100000 troops in Lvbu's army, there are 20000 troops in Hangu pass. In addition, although Hangu pass is a medium-sized pass, it has been constantly strengthening the wall since Huangfu Chaobo forces took over. Although it has not been able to upgrade to a large pass, it is not far away. In addition, after Zaozhi arrived at Hangu pass, he brought a large number of city guarding equipment and dozens of weapons from Luoyang City He is a craftsman, so although Hangu pass is a medium-sized pass, its defense ability is no less than a large pass.

Now Zao only has soldiers and generals in his hand, and he has enough money, food and equipment, so he is not afraid of Lvbu's army. In the past few days, although Hanguguan lost more than 2000 soldiers, most of them were minor injuries. Doctors had already been arranged to treat them. They only needed to recuperate for a few days to resume the war. It's Lu Bu's army. Although the wounded soldiers have been withdrawn to Xin'an County, they are short of doctors and medicinal materials. Over time, it's very good that the soldiers can recover half of the time. In addition, the back of Hangu pass, with 17000 soldiers led by Huang wudie, is located in the valley city. The distance between the valley city and Hangu pass is only more than 50 Li, and the soldiers can arrive in one day, so the people of Hangu pass are more at ease. In contrast, both Zaozhi and Hangu Guanzhong would sit firmly in Diaoyutai in the face of Lu Bu's attack.

When the Luoyang war was about to start, there was a chase in the grassland thousands of miles away. On the vast prairie, there are several Knights running away. There are less than ten of them, and there are more than twenty horses. However, there are two huge golden eagles flying on their heads, and one of them seems to have been injured. Just a hundred miles behind them, there was a larger group of people, as many as 2000. These cavalry were all one man and two horses, and even some people were one man and three horses. There were several big eagles flying on the top of these heads. Under the guidance of the big eagles, the cavalry chased towards the front one.

"Whew, whew..."

All of a sudden, the golden eagle on the head of the knight in front made a shriek.

Among them, a middle-aged Xianbei man ran wildly on horseback and yelled: "brother Zhao, the pursuit of Wangting has come to us. It's less than 100 li away from us. There are at least 2000 to 3000 people!"

It is strange that among these Xianbei people, the one who runs in the front is actually a young Han man. White horse, silver gun, thick eyebrows and big eyes, broad face, dignified appearance, good, this is Zhao Yun, Changshan Zhao Zilong, whom Huangfu Chaobo and Zhao Zilong never forget. But now his robe is covered with dust and his face is tired, which is far from the player's image. Hearing the words of the middle-aged Xianbei man, Zhao Yun turned his head and said, "brother he Ruo, how far are we from Xianbei's sphere of influence in the east?"The Xianbei man named he Ruo stood up on his horse, looked around and said, "from here to the south, it's three days' journey to Tanhan mountain. Then Zhongtan Hanshan went all the way East, about seven or eight days' journey to the eastern Xianbei Suli area. "

After hearing this, Zhao Yun calculated in his heart. According to the Xianbei people's algorithm, a day's journey is a day's journey for ordinary war horses, which is 200 Li. It's about 700 Li from here to Bingzhou. Then it's about 1500 Li to the east from tanhanshan mountain to the outside of the Great Wall to the north of youbeiping.

Zhao Yun estimated in his mind that it was about 1800 Li from here to the base outside the Great Wall with Huangfu Chaobo people. In other words, it took at least eight to ten days. Now the pursuit is only half a day away from his party. If his party is all adults, it's OK. But there are two women and two children in it If it goes on like this, if we don't find a way, sooner or later we will be overtaken by the pursuers.
