Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #147 - Chapter 147

At this moment, Yuan Shao’s pupils shrank suddenly.

Because he saw smoke and dust billowing in the direction of Yuan Jun’s rear camp, and countless Yuan Jun soldiers were coming here.

Yuan Shao should have been happy when he saw his soldiers arriving.

Because this should also explain that Wen Chou and Zhang He had a high view of them, had annihilated Cao Ang and his cavalry, and then led their elite troops to return reinforcements.

But at this moment, Yuan Shao couldn’t be happy, but felt inexplicably panic in his heart!

Because those Yuan troops coming here clearly did not look like they were returning victoriously, but they were running away with their helmets and armor removed, their flags down, and their formations scattered!

At first glance, he looked like he had lost the battle!

Not only Yuan Shao, but also the civil and military personnel of Yuan Jun on the left and right, as well as the officers and soldiers of Yuan Jun in the rear formation, also saw the scene in the distance.

Everyone looked dumbfounded and had a bad premonition!

“quick! Stop it quickly!

Don’t let them collide with the rear formation!”

Yuan Shao was still calm at this juncture. He roared and ordered people to intercept the defeated army.

The mighty defeated army stretched for who knows how many miles, let alone how many people there were. If they were allowed to get into the formation randomly, it would be all over!

Fortunately! Yuan Shao had nearly 300,000 troops here. Even though the front army was fighting Cao Jun, the rear army was still in a majestic formation.

After those Yuan Jun’s defeated soldiers saw their army and the lord Yuan Shao’s banner, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The headless flies stopped one after another.

At this time, Zhang He and Gao Lan also came on horseback, gathering some defeated soldiers along the way, including Bingzhou Fei who had fled after Gao Gan was killed.

After ordering the defeated troops to stop on the spot, Zhang He Gao Lan arrived at Yuan Shao’s tent. Before they could open their mouths to report the news, Yuan Shao

‘s furious voice fell into their ears:”Zhang He Gao Lan, what happened!

Wen Chou, Qian Zhao and Gao Gan are here!

Why did you two lead the defeated army and return? Could it be that you fled in cowardice and betrayed them!”

Just the number of defeated troops brought by Zhang He and Gao Lan was tens of thousands.

Not to mention those who escaped on their own.

All put together, there were 140,000 to 50,000.

They accounted for 300,000 of the two armies in the north. Half!

Therefore, Yuan Shao knew that the north side must have been defeated. But seeing that Zhang He and Gao Lan had only smoke and no blood stains on their bodies, and there were no signs of fighting, he thought that they were timid and fled first.

Hearing Yuan Shao scolding him, he couldn’t help but feel sad.

They had obviously tried their best to fight, but because Wen Chou failed to resist, Cao Ang broke through and the formation was defeated.

After the Chinese army was defeated first, Zhang He Gao Lan still worked hard to save the battle. However, Qianzhao was also defeated by Cao General Lejin, and finally they were unable to control it. They had no choice but to retreat, and during the retreat, they tried their best to gather the defeated troops and preserve their strength before they reached Yuan Shao.

When they had the opportunity to report the situation, they were scolded directly!

They were even more suspected of fleeing and betraying Pao Ze! This was clearly a distrust of General Zhang He Gao Lan and a violation of their loyalty!

As one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, Zhang He Gaolan has always been loyal and never had any disloyal intentions. Even when Wen Chou was killed and the army was defeated, they did not surrender to Cao Jun, but came to Yuan Shao after questioning.

It’s okay to hold them responsible for the defeat.

Now they just slap the blame without asking. How can we not let the loyal people feel frustrated?

General Zhang He Gao Lan simply accepted Yuan Shao’s scolding and condemnation. , lowered his head and said nothing.

Fortunately, there were loyal people around Yuan Shao, so Xin Ping said hurriedly:”My lord, don’t be angry, it’s not too late to listen to the two generals reporting the situation of the war.

Even if the army to the north is defeated, there are still tens of thousands of defeated soldiers gathered now.

Perhaps Wen Chou, General Qianzhao and the high-ranking governor were still there, gathering another group of defeated troops.

In this way, our army did not lose too many troops and horses, and it still had the strength to fight.”

Xin Ping’s comfort made Yuan Shao’s angry heart feel a little better.

Then he looked at Zhang He and the second general Gao Lan, and said coldly:”You two should talk about the situation on the northern battlefield.

Where is Wen Chou Qian Zhao and others?”

Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other, and Zhang He said coldly:”The 30,000 Cao troops who were originally under Liu Bei were chased by the Qianzhao Division and joined Cao Ang.

Cao Ang led Cao’s army of 30,000 troops with his general Yue Jin, and attacked Qianzhao’s 70,000 troops.

Then General Li Cunxiao led 400 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry to rush into my army formation of 30,000 people.

General Xu Chu led 500 heavy cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry, and charged into General Gao Lan’s formation of 30,000 people.

Finally, Cao Ang personally led 500 heavy cavalry, 600 hussars and light cavalry, and 600 never-before-seen Jin-clad warriors, totaling 1,700 cavalry, to attack General Wen Chou’s 70,000-strong central army.

Cao Ang and all the troops in Cao’s army are all elites in hundreds of battles and very brave.

And in the hands of those warriors in golden robes, there is a powerful crossbow that has never been seen before, which can hold twenty short arrows and fire twenty times in succession.

Under the attack of that continuous crossbow, the former army’s crossbowmen collapsed first.

Cao Ang then killed through the spear-shield formation, the euphorbia warrior formation, and the fine cavalry formation, and went straight to the center of General Wen Chou’s fourth formation.

Cao Ang was extremely brave, ten times more powerful than Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass. In less than half a day, he defeated four military formations in a row!

It’s as close as General Wen Chou’s banner.

Upon seeing this, General Wen Chou personally fought against Cao Ang, but was killed by Cao Ang with a single shot and died on the battlefield.

As a result, all the units in the Chinese army were defeated.

General Qianzhao’s troops were the first to be attacked, causing Cao General Yue Jin to take advantage of the situation and kill General Qianzhao, and his troops were also defeated.

General Gao Lan and I tried our best to stabilize our position, but were overwhelmed by the defeated troops and had to retreat. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

On the way, he gathered the defeated troops and met some defeated soldiers of Bingzhou Infantry and Cavalry. Only then did he learn that after Cao Ang defeated our army, he went south non-stop and attacked Gao Gan’s governor’s headquarters.

Cao Ang’s troops defeated Xu Chu and killed Gao Jishi, and all the state troops were defeated.……”

Zhang He said these words honestly, but Yuan Shao and all the civil and military personnel present were stunned!

Divide eight thousand cavalry into three groups and attack 130,000 Hebei elites!

Cao Ang only led less than 2,000 cavalry and attacked the 70,000 elite infantry cavalry commanded by Wen Chou, but he broke through four formations in a row!

Such bravery is simply appalling!

Eight thousand cavalry and 30,000 infantry defeated the Hebei army of 200,000 in less than half a day!

Zhang He said that Cao Ang was ten times more brave than Lu Bu, which was true…

At this moment, Yuan Shao’s army was silent, like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

Yuan Shao didn’t even have the strength to scream, because his whole body was numb!

First, the food and grass were burned, and they were unable to fight a protracted battle with Cao’s army, so they were forced to take the initiative.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang’s army of 200,000 troops was defeated by Cao Ang’s 38,000 cavalry. Generals Wen Chou and Qian Zhao were killed, and Zhang He Gao Lan was defeated.

In the end, after Cao Ang’s great victory, he was unstoppable and went south without stopping. Together with Xiahou Dun and other troops, he defeated the 100,000-strong Bingzhou Army of Gao Gan and killed Gao Gan in formation!

These achievements one after another can be said to have stepped on the heads of the Hebei army, and established the name of the god general with the head of the famous Hebei general!

In the eyes of many people under Yuan Shao’s tent, Cao Ang defeated Lu Bu, captured Yuan Shu, killed Sun Ce, and destroyed Liu Biao because he was good at building momentum and rushing to attack. He used surprise attacks to catch those princes off guard and was destroyed.[]

Although he defeated several princes in a row, it only shows that Cao Ang is good at using troops.

When facing hundreds of thousands of troops from Hebei, Cao Ang may not be able to achieve success in a decisive battle.

So at this moment, when Zhang He’s general Cao Ang defeated an army of two to three hundred thousand troops with a small number of troops, everyone in Hebei changed their previous views.

Everyone was deeply shocked!

Cao Ang’s ability to dominate the world and sweep away the princes was certainly because he was good at using troops and running attacks.

But it doesn’t mean that the bravery and invincibility of Cao Ang and Cao Jun are fake!

At this moment, many civil and military personnel in Yuan Shao’s tent were frightened and at the same time shaken!

He even had the idea of showing favor to Cao Jun!

Cao Ang was so brave that he defeated 300,000 troops on the northern route.

Although now there are more than 400,000 troops under Yuan Shao’s tent, including the gathered defeated troops, which is slightly more than Cao’s army.

However, they lost their troops and generals one after another, their food and grass were burned, their morale was low, and they lacked sharpness and courage. It was probably difficult to defeat Cao Jun.

However, Cao’s army cannot be defeated in this battle. Even if they can retreat to Jizhou, with Cao Ang’s youth and skills, as well as the power of Cao Cao and his son, they can easily annihilate the Yuan family!

What’s more, Yuan Shao had good advice for Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Xu You and others but could not use it, and instead had Zhong Liang imprisoned.

But he used such slanderous people as Guo Tu Shen Pei and others.

Zhang He’s two generals, Gao Lan, were both loyal and righteous men. Now that they were defeated, it was not a crime of war.

And being able to gather more than 100,000 defeated troops and return is considered a great achievement.

Yuan Shao, however, indiscriminately scolded the two generals for being timid and fleeing first.

Even the bystanders felt chilled after hearing this, let alone the two parties involved, Zhang He and Gao Lan.

It can be said that although the Hebei army under Yuan Shao’s tent is still strong and has many soldiers and horses, it is already showing signs of decline and the hearts of the people are scattered.

The foundation of his hegemony that once led the four states of Hebei, commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and overridden the princes, had begun to collapse under Yuan Shao’s own series of wrong decisions.

Rather than saying that it was Cao Ang who defeated Yuan Shao, it would be better to say that it was Yuan Shao himself who committed suicide!

After all, Yuan Shao once had the opportunity to kill Cao and his son.

When Liu Biao’s army of 180,000 troops suppressed Xudu and contained Cao Cao’s main force, Cao Ang only led 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xiaopei.

Liu Biao sent envoys to join forces and invited Yuan Shao to attack Xudu, and together with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, they destroyed Cao Ang.

As a result, Yuan Shao thought that Liu Biao, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu could defeat Cao Cao and his son, so he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight in order to preserve his strength.

In the end, it was a desperate situation. Under Yuan Shao’s indulgence, Cao Ang captured Lu Bu to destroy Yuan Shu, and killed Sun Ce and Liu Biao.

By the time Yuan Shao turned around and decided to send troops, Cao Ang had already swallowed the dragon and reached the sky in one step. The Cao family and his son also had the strength to calmly compete with Yuan Shao.……
