Chapter 701: The Fall of Jiguan

However, Zhao Yun no longer cares about this. Since there are soldiers from Xiliang in Wenxi City, there must also be soldiers in Anyi City and other cities in Hedong. Moreover, it should not only be infantry. Dong Zhuo's army is famous for its cavalry. Since troops have been sent out, it is impossible to send only infantry to participate in the battle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun immediately ordered Yang Feng to take over Wenxi, place all auxiliary craftsmen and other non-combatant materials in the city, and then lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers to guard Wenxi City and the camps outside the city, ready to respond to the army at any time. At the same time, for safety reasons, Zhao Yun also left him a thousand white horses and followers.

Zhao Yun himself led 4,000 white horse Yi followers and 4,000 Longxiang camp soldiers back to aid the Anyi camp. He must report this to his lord as soon as possible.

Just when Zhao Yun started to attack Wenxi, Su Zhi also launched another attack on the city under Yishi City. Zhao Yun's progress in Wenxi was very smooth. Huangfu Chaobo had sent someone to pass the battle report to Su Zhi and other generals to read. This made Su Zhi and Zuo Xiao prepare to increase their offensive intensity.

In the army, the strong are respected, and after finally getting the opportunity to lead the army alone, Su and Zhi must still hope that they can perform well.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that when they launched another attack on the city wall, five thousand Xiliang cavalry and five thousand Xiliang army infantry were already ready on a school ground in the city. As soon as the order came, he launched a thunderous attack on Sizhou's army attacking outside the city.

At the same time, in Lengkou Town at the west entrance of Chijing, the town was defended by a school captain who led three thousand guards to guard the place and was responsible for guarding the army's food routes.

This morning, as usual, the captain got up and led his soldiers to patrol the town wall before returning to the town for breakfast. But when he walked to the north wall, he found a troop of soldiers and horses approaching slowly in the distance. Out of caution, he immediately ordered his personal guards to sound the alarm, because he had not received an order from the general camp saying that soldiers and horses were coming to greet him, and even if soldiers and horses arrived, they could not arrive early in the morning. Lengkou Town is a transit point for the army.

As the alarm bell rang, this small town that had been quiet for less than half a month fell into tension again. Groups of soldiers quickly ran out of the barracks, put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and entered their respective positions as arranged in advance to prepare for the attack.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been discovered, the troops no longer covered up their whereabouts. A shout was heard in the distance, and then several battle flags were erected. There are several big characters "Jiang" and "Dong" on it.

Seeing this situation, the captain didn't know what was going on. Seeing that there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he only had 3,000 people guarding this small town. It seemed that today's army would not be able to end well. With this in mind, the captain summoned his generals and wrote down all the information about the soldiers and horses outside the town. He then handed it over to the general of the generals and asked him to divide the one hundred guards into ten teams and attack them from different directions. Breaking through the encirclement, he quickly rushed to the camp to warn the general.

The captain knew that the other party was acting like this, so he must have come prepared. He didn't know whether his one hundred personal guards could send the warning to the camp. However, he did his best and obeyed fate.

As he expected, when he saw the cavalry coming out, more than a thousand cavalry immediately rushed out of the opponent's formation and chased in the direction of the breaking cavalry.

But he couldn't care about that much now and could only order his soldiers to wait for help.

Less than half an hour later, more than 10,000 Hedong Army and Dong Zhuo Army soldiers and horses finally approached one mile outside Lengkou Town. Then, the army paused for a moment, and not long after, a general with a big ax and a beard on his face emerged from the crowd. Begin to line up your troops and prepare to attack.

Almost at the same time, a hundred miles away in the east, at the east entrance of Chijing Road, in front of Jiguan, a team of baggage vehicles was waiting for the gate to open. This is a grain transport convoy organized by Hanoi families. It is said that it was because they heard that the general’s army was relying on the Hedong general at the foot of Anyi City in Hedong.

Therefore, each family decided to collect ten thousand shi of food and prepare to send it to Hedong to support the general's army.

The captain who guarded the gate was very happy when he heard the news. They already knew the news about Hedong, but there was nothing they could do. Now, I am not happy to hear that the families in Hanoi have organized their own personnel to transport grain and grass to Hedong. He quickly ordered the gate to be opened, and at the same time sent people to clear the passage inside the gate so that the convoy could pass through as soon as possible and deliver grain and grass to Hedong as soon as possible.

What they didn't know was that they had already lured the wolf into the house.

When most of the grain trucks entered the pass, the civilians transporting the grain suddenly rose up and killed all the soldiers at the gate. Then, the civilians in the pass suddenly drew their weapons from the grain trucks and attacked the officers and soldiers in the pass.

Half an hour later, the two thousand soldiers guarding the pass were slaughtered by the soldiers of the Hanoi family, and the entire Jiguan was controlled by the Hanoi family.

Subsequently, nearly 5,000 ethnic soldiers stationed in the pass, and the gate was closed again. At this point, Huangfu Chaobo's Sizhou army had no way to retreat.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo knew nothing about it. He was in the tent with Pang Tongyi, waiting for Zhao Yun to send back the good news.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. Huangfu Chaobo's heart was moved. Has Zhao Yun already captured Wenxi County?

When he looked up at the door curtain, it had been opened. Hu Yandu hurried over without caring about etiquette. While panting, he shouted: "My lord, it's not good. Half a quarter of an hour ago, the west gate of Anyi City suddenly opened, and more than 15,000 cavalry rushed out from inside, captured and killed all the cavalry that I arranged near the west gate, and then turned to the direction of Yishi County..."

"Bang..."

"Ah..."

"Where did the cavalry come from?"

The people in the tent didn't react at once, and Huangfu Chaobo even dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Pang Tong's face changed, and he hurriedly asked: "General Hu Yan, does anyone recognize who these cavalry are?"

"Report to the military advisor, according to the soldiers' report, those cavalry were holding a large flag with the word "Dong", and two other flags, one with the word "Xiliang", and the other with a bear with wings embroidered on it." Hu Yandu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, why are Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Army here?" Pang Tong said with a gloomy face;

The faces of the people in the tent also changed drastically, and for a moment, the tent was silent.

At this time, another person ran over, it was Chen Jing, who was responsible for monitoring the movements of Anyi City today.
