Chapter 1,282: Impressive Achievements

The reason why Zhao Yun no longer paid attention to Zhang Nan's more than 2,000 Wei troops in formation was because in front of them, there was a Wei army that was easier to defeat, that is, the thousands of Wei troops who were attacking the city. Now they had already moved their rear. With your back exposed, let yourself attack. New 81 Chinese website is the fastest updated computer version:

Instead of killing and wounded soldiers to break Zhang Nan's formation, it is better to deal with these lambs to be slaughtered first.

As early as when Baima Yicong appeared, the soldiers of the Tang Army at the top of the city discovered that their cavalry had arrived. Suddenly, cheers rang out from the top of the city: "Soldiers, General Pingbei has led Baima Yicong to support us. Kill the thief!"

"Reinforcements are coming! Kill..."

"kill……"

Contrary to the cheers of the Tang soldiers, the Wei soldiers who were attacking the city were scared to death. Even a small soldier knows what will happen if the enemy cavalry appears behind him when he is attacking a city.

As a result, the Wei soldiers who were attacking the city instantly became a mess. The Wei soldiers who finally attacked the city wall were slaughtered completely by the Tang soldiers who suddenly broke out. The Wei soldiers who were attacking below the city were also in chaos. A ball. Some soldiers tried to retreat and formed a formation to fight the Tang army's cavalry, but some soldiers were preparing to continue attacking the city. The already chaotic Wei army became even more panicked.

Soon, the white horse Yi Cong killed the Wei army who was attacking the city. At this time, the Wei soldiers were only one group in the east and the other group in the west shouting. More soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies, not at all. Know what to do.

Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, more than ten thousand white horse Yi Cong, as if entering a deserted land, killed Wei soldiers one by one on the battlefield below the city. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the 5,000 Wei troops attacking the city were killed. Later, Baima Yicong burned all the siege equipment left by the Wei troops on the battlefield.

Zhang Nan stood in the formation, watching helplessly as all his soldiers were killed by the Tang army, but he had no intention of rescuing them. Not only that, he was still praying secretly in his heart that these defeated troops could hold off the Tang Army cavalry for a longer period of time, so that he could hold on until Wen Chou's reinforcements arrived, but he also knew that Wen Chou had less than 5,000 cavalry with him. It is basically impossible to send troops to support yourself.

After several years of development, the Wei army's cavalry expanded to a total of 60,000 people. Although many of them were wiped out by the Tang army last year, they were later replenished by Yuan Shao to 60,000 people. Of the 60,000 cavalry, in addition to about 10,000 scattered in various counties and cities, only two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, had 5,000 cavalry each. Among the other 40,000 cavalry, 20,000 of the most elite Hebei cavalry belonged to Wei Wang Yuan Shao. The personal guard cavalry and 20,000 ordinary cavalry were led by generals Jiang Yiqu and Zhu Han to Zhuo County to contain the Yan cavalry.

Therefore, if Zhang Nan wants to wait for reinforcements on the battlefield, unless King Wei's 20,000 cavalry can arrive at this time, otherwise, Zhang Nan's 10,000 troops will only be destroyed.

Just as Baima Yi was killing Zhang Nannan, a loud noise from the north of the city also alarmed Wen Chou in the east of the city.

"Come here, send someone to the north of the city to ask General Zhang Nan how he came back from the north of the city and why is there such a big movement?" Wen Chou frowned and ordered to the personal guards beside him;

"No, General..." Feng Ji also frowned, and he also noticed something unusual.

At this moment, several cavalrymen rushed in and ran directly to the Chinese army to report to Wen Chou: "General Wen, most of the Tang army's cavalry suddenly appeared in the north of the city. General Zhang Nan asked the general to send troops to rescue immediately!"

"What?"

"Tang Army cavalry?"

"Where did the Tang army cavalry come from?" Wen Chou said angrily: "What does Zhang Nan do for food?

Why wasn't it discovered in advance? How many cavalry came from the other side, and who was the leading general? "

"Reporting back to the general, they are the white horse Yi Cong commanded by Zhao Yun. Judging from their posture, there are at least ten thousand of them!"

"Bata!"

Everyone in the Chinese army was stunned. There were more than 10,000 white horse followers, but they only had 5,000 cavalry. Oh, no, a thousand cavalry had been sent out, but now there were only 4,000. How to send troops to rescue the enemy? There are more than 10,000 cavalrymen. If I send these 4,000 cavalrymen to ask for help, wouldn't it be like a meat bun beating a dog? There will be no return.

It's just that Wen Chou had to send troops. Otherwise, how would he be able to command the troops in the future?

While Wen Chou was hesitating, another group of cavalry suddenly ran up from behind them. The leader was none other than the captain, one of King Wei's personal soldiers. The other party rode up to Wen Chou and said, "General Wen, the king has arrived two miles away." General, please prepare to welcome us!"

"The king is here. Great." Wen Shanshan said, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said to the captain: "Hurry, the king's cavalry has already arrived. Hurry up and lead me to see the king."

"Come here, please withdraw your troops immediately. Military advisor, please form a formation here to prevent the cavalry of the Tang army from attacking. I will lead the cavalry to meet the lord's army, and then ask the lord to send troops to rescue General Zhang Nan's troops."

"General, please go and leave this place to me!" Feng Ji heard this and quickly replied;

"Ding ding..."

As the golden sound of the Chinese army sounded, the Wei soldiers who were attacking Wei County in Dongcheng retreated like a tide. Then, under Feng Ji's order, tens of thousands of troops formed a huge defensive formation to prevent the Tang army's cavalry from attacking.

While the army was in formation, Wen Chou led four thousand cavalry and ran wildly toward the east from where Yuan Shao's army came.

Soon, the two Wei armies met one mile east of Wen Chou's central army. Wen Chou hurriedly rode forward, saluted Yuan Shao, and told Yuan Shao the news that Zhao Yun's White Horse Volunteers appeared in the north of the city. Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately sent out his 20,000 cavalrymen, and together with Wen Chou's 4,000 cavalrymen, they rushed towards the north city, while he himself went towards Feng Ji under the protection of 10,000 imperial guards.

It was also Zhang Nan's fate that he should not die. After Zhao Yun wiped out the 5,000 Wei troops attacking the city, he sent hundreds of cavalrymen to burn the siege equipment of the Wei army, and then led the army to kill Zhang Nan's army. At this time, he had already broken through Zhang Nan's first layer of defense. However, just as he was preparing to reorganize his troops and kill the remnants of Zhang Nan's army, preparing to annihilate them under the city, the scouts on the periphery brought news that tens of thousands of Wei cavalrymen appeared in the east. First release

In desperation, Zhao Yun had to lead the White Horse Volunteers to slowly retreat to the northwest of Wei County, leaving Zhang Nanbu's more than a thousand remnants behind.

After Zhao Yun led the White Horse Volunteers to retreat more than a mile, Wen Chou appeared in everyone's sight with more than 20,000 Wei cavalry.

Although Zhao Yun felt a little regretful, he had to give up. However, the results of this battle were still very good. Zhang Nanbu's 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 civilians were now only a thousand people, and all the siege equipment was destroyed, while the loss of the White Horse Volunteers was only a few hundred people.

Another point is that the loss of Zhang Nanbu's army boosted the morale of the Tang army in the city. More than 10,000 White Horse Volunteers appeared outside the city and almost completely wiped out a part of the Wei army. This was ten times or a hundred times better than Geng Wu's empty talk to boost morale.
