Chapter 1228

After hearing the messenger's words, Huangfu Chaobo was very happy. He immediately ordered: "come, tell the three armies. Lv Bu's cavalry has been defeated by General Zhao Yun!"

The white horse Yi Cong listened to Huangfu Chaobo's words and gave him a look. He was just about to speak when he was stopped by Guo Jia's eyes.

Sure enough, after the news of Lu Bu's cavalry being repulsed came out, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, while the morale of the Zhao army guarding the city was obviously stagnant.

A moment later, when Zhao Yun returned with more than 20000 cavalry, the morale of the Tang army was even higher. Seeing more than 30000 cavalry set out, only half of them came back. Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but feel heartbroken. You know, these are the most elite cavalry, especially the 30000 special arms. Now they have lost nearly half of them.

Soon, Zhao Yun took the horse to the Chinese army. After he got off the horse, he quickly climbed up the watchtower and gave his life to Huangfu Chaobo: "at the end of the day, I'll see the king. Fortunately, I didn't disobey his orders. Lv Bu, king of Zhao, has led the cavalry to retreat. However, my cavalry also suffered heavy losses. "

After that, Zhao Yun reported to Huangfu Chaobo about the loss of the army. After listening to Zhao Yun's words, all the people above the watchtower took a breath. After the first World War, the most elite cavalry of the Tang army lost more than 15000. This should be the biggest loss of cavalry of the Tang army since the beginning, and the loss of Lv Bu's cavalry was only 15000.

You know, there were six thousand more cavalry in the Tang army, and at last they got a good match. It can be seen from this that the cavalry under Lu Bu was very powerful.

When the Tang army was shocked, Lu Bu was also in pain at the camp. He managed to save 30000 Bingzhou wolf riders, but he lost half of them in the first World War. After lunch in the camp at noon, Lu Bu wanted to lead the army, but was dissuaded by his subordinates.

"King, you can't compete with the Tang army any more. Although the cavalry of the Tang army is similar to our army, there are a lot of crossbow soldiers. If they are targeted by their crossbow soldiers again, the loss will be even greater. According to the arrangement of the prime minister, if you just need to restrain the energy of the Tang army, delay the siege time as much as possible, and fight for time to transfer the people, there is no need to fight with the Tang army."

"Yes, King..."

"It's true, king. There are many people in Tang Dynasty, so it's not difficult to add soldiers. But Zhao is different. It's not as easy as them to add soldiers."

Under the general's persuasion, Lu Bu didn't scold them. Thinking about it, the eloquence of the whole Zhao people was only more than one million, and he lost 15000 Bingzhou wolf riders. It would take him a few years to make up for them. If he had to carry them with the Tang army several times, even if he had eaten all their remaining 20000 cavalry, he would have nothing left It's a few years old.

In the next two days, there was no more than a thousand people fighting between the cavalry of Tang and Zhao, but the skirmishes between the two armies continued.

Often hundreds of wolf riders suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the siege army, and then Zhao Qu immediately sent troops to drive them away. After a while, hundreds of Bingzhou wolf riders appeared in another direction, and Zhao Yun sent troops to drive them away again, so repeatedly fighting.

The battle in Huguan city is also going on in an orderly way. Even though Bingzhou wolf riders are harassing from time to time, it does not have much influence on the siege army. Huben camp, baotao camp, Yingyang camp and tieyingrui of the guards, with the support of Yuanrong crossbow soldiers, launched a continuous attack on Huguan county.

With the passage of time, the war damage ratio of the offensive and defensive sides has almost reached one to one, and there is a tendency to continue to expand. There is no way. The Tang army's attacking soldiers are much more elite than the Zhao army's soldiers guarding the city. Almost every round of attack, there are several soldiers who can attack the city. Once there are Tang soldiers attacking the city, Zhang Yang and Li Feng almost have to pay several times of the casualties in order to make the Tang army advance and retreat. In this way, because of the advantage of the city wall, they will lose a lot to the attacking side It was eliminated in the few contests.

In addition, the continuous attack of thousands of Yuanrong and crossbow soldiers under the city also made the soldiers of Zhao at the head of the city suffer a lot. In a few days, the number of soldiers killed and injured by the crossbow soldiers alone reached thousands. In addition, every battle at the head of the city lost more than 5000 soldiers. By the third day of the battle, the losses of the soldiers of Zhao had exceeded 5000.

Originally, the morale of Zhao's soldiers was a little low because of the defeat of Lu Bu's cavalry. Now it's even worse to face such a fierce attack of the Tang army.

On the fourth day, Huangfu Jianshou left a school of soldiers to defend the eldest son city. He personally led 10000 Hujie Battalion soldiers from the two schools to Huguan city for support. In the face of another surge of Tang troops, Zhao's morale was once again hit.

Originally, Zhang Yang hoped that the army would withdraw from Shangdang as soon as possible in order to preserve more strength, but now only the people of Nei County, Tongjia, Xiangyuan and Huguan in the northern cities of Shangdang have withdrawn from Shangdang territory, while the people of Lu County, Guyuan and Zhanxian, which are farther away, are still a few days away from Nei County, let alone to the north of Nanguan We have to know that there are more than 50000 or 60000 people here. It's really unwillingness for Lv Bu to give up.

So Lv Bu ordered Zhang Yangzhu to stay at Huguan for another five days. At the same time, Chen Gong had already arrived in Nei county to direct and arrange the migration of the people. After learning about the situation, Chen Gong suggested that Lv Bu withdraw 5000 soldiers from Shangdang city first, and then quietly withdraw to Nei County together with 10000 soldiers from the camp in the city to do a good job Prepare for the attack.At the same time, 20000 war horses were quietly sent into the city of Huguan. Now there are 25000 soldiers in the city. After 5000 soldiers were transferred, there are only 20000 soldiers left. In the next few days, there will be a lot of losses. In this way, these war horses will be enough for all the Zhao troops in the city to evacuate smoothly.

With the help of horses and the fact that Lv Bu's fifteen thousand wolf riders were cut off, Chen Gong was confident that most of the Zhao soldiers in Huguan city could be successfully withdrawn to Taiyuan.

At this time, the people of the Tang army did not expect that Chen Gong would come. Although there is news that Zhao Jun has moved the people in several northern cities to Nei County, they did not expect that Chen Gong did not want to defend the northern cities of Shangdang.

On the evening of the 5th of October, ten days after the beginning of the war in Huguan City, Sergeant Zhao withdrew from the north gate overnight, gave up Huguan county and headed for Xiangyuan in the north. When the Tang army got the news, it was two hours later. Huangfu chaobolian sent people to capture Huguan City while Zhao Yun was pursuing it. However, Zhao Yun was stopped by 15 000 cavalry soldiers led by Lv Bu when he came to the north of Huguan. In desperation, he had to watch Zhao's army go away.
