Dong Zhuo attacked Qingfengling Ferry at night?!

Wang Kuang was completely sleepy and suddenly got up, hurried to the county hall with his hair disheveled, and still felt a little disbelief.

When I arrived in the lobby, I saw a few soldiers who fled back to report the news. Two of them were known to Wang Kuang, who were the defenders stationed at the Qingfengling Ferry during the Ridge!

Wang Kuangcai was suddenly convinced of the news of Dong Zhuo's night attack!

What to do?! Wang Kuang was a little confused at once!

You should know that at that time, whether it was the advisers under Yuan Shao's command or the princes, they all agreed that Dong Zhuo is now surrounded by enemies and has shortages of troops and will never take the initiative to start a war. They can only guard the eight passes of Luoyang, sweep Baibo, and appease Guanzhong and the court. At least several months will be left, not to mention that there are ministers such as Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, Zhou Liyu and other ministers in the court secretly provide assistance to prevent Dong Zhuo from sending troops.

This time, Dong Zhuo made great efforts in Pingyin and Mengjin. They all thought it was a bluff and separated the troops just in case. Who would have expected that Dong Zhuo would launch a surprise attack?

Wang Kuang was in a state of confusion for a moment. He did not come back to his senses until the county magistrate beside him reminded him and hurriedly ordered: "Go and invite the envoy Cui quickly."

The Cui Envoy he mentioned was Cui Jun, the prefect of Xihe, who was a famous scholar in Hebei. He was born in the Boling Cui family and was the son of the former Grand Marshal Cui Lie. He was quite strategic and respected by Wang Kuang.

Soon, Cui Jun, the prefect of He, who was wearing a literati uniform and wearing a scarf, walked quickly.

Wang Kuang hurriedly talked about the situation at the Qingfengling Ferry. Cui Jun's face suddenly became serious, and he asked for some details. He said in a deep voice: "The ferry has not moved and the rear is robbed. This must be a roundabout attack. Moreover, Dong Zhuo's Qiang and Hu soldiers have always fought fiercely, and Qingfengling Ferry is in danger."

Wang Kuang suddenly became anxious. He had been recruiting soldiers recently, but until now he only had more than 4,800 soldiers and horses, and there were more than 3,000 troops at the Qingfengling Ferry. Once the three thousand people were wiped out, most of his strength would be gone, and there would be no capital as a prince!

"No! We must send troops to reinforce us!" Wang Kuang said decisively.

Cui Jun shook his head and said, "Prime the Lord's Day."

Wang Kuang said in a deep voice: "Now the main force of Dong's thief is fighting Baibo in Hedong. What Luoyang has left is only the recruited troops. If the combat power is not strong, even the raid is the 3,000 troops I arranged at the ferry are not without resistance. Han Hao has always been cautious and brave, not to mention that there are a thousand fierce black bandits. Dong Zhuo is not so easy to succeed. He must be still fighting fiercely at this time. As long as you send reinforcements quickly, there is something to do."

"This..." Cui Jun also hesitated. Wang Kuang's words were not unreasonable. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't say anything.

Moreover, the location of the Qingfengling Ferry is indeed very important. Once it is broken, Heyang City will be in danger.

Just when he was hesitating, Wang Kuang was already anxious to order: "So quickly order Fang Yue to take a thousand troops to Qingfengling Ferry to reinforce the Qingfengling Ferry overnight!"

Cui Jun reminded: "Be careful along the way to prevent Dong's thief from ambushing the troops."

Wang Kuang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there is a large army of Yuan chariots and cavalry in Heyangjin east. How could Dong Zhuo divide up so many troops and horses to ambush? I expected that there would be no more than three thousand troops to attack the Qingfengling Ferry, and there would be ambush and also near the Qingfengling Ferry. I will be careful."

Cui Jun said: "A thousand soldiers were transferred out, and now only more than one thousand soldiers were left in Heyang City. The defense was empty. You can borrow some soldiers from Yuan Benchu ​​to defend Heyang City first."

"That's right!" Wang Kuang clapped his hands: "After dawn, I will send someone to see Yuan Cheqi."

...

Wang Kuang and Cui Jun were probably right that Dong Zhuo could send troops to raid the Qingfengling Ferry, only about 3,000. No matter how many more, Dong Zhuo really couldn't send them now.

Moreover, because Luoyang has an inside line, the princes of Guandong have control over the whereabouts and defense locations of the generals and lieutenants under Dong Zhuo, and naturally have an understanding of Xiaopingjin and others. It is not worth mentioning that a scholar who is outgoing as a lieutenant, they are more concerned about Mengjin's Hu Zhen.

As for Zhang Liao, this military Sima in his early twenties, they didn't care at all.

But neither Wang Kuang nor Cui Jun expected that it was this unknown army Sima, a young boy, who had taken three thousand people to raid overnight and resolved the Qingfengling Ferry Campaign within an hour. Without stopping, he rushed to Heyang City overnight like lightning!

Its decisiveness and courage are unbelievable.

Fang Yue, who was sent to reinforce the Qingfengling Ferry, was ambushed by Zhang Liao's troops after leaving the city less than eight miles!

At that time, Dong Huang gave Zhang Liao two hundred strong bows, but Zhang Liao did not waste it. He drew soldiers who knew how to shoot from the army and gathered two hundred archers, one hundred belonged to Yang Han who was proficient in shooting, and the other hundred were led by Zhang Liao himself.

In this ambush, Yang Han was in the north and Zhang Liao was in the south. The five hundred Qiang and Hu soldiers under Wang Fang were led by Zhao Wu, and in the west. Gao Shunze led 500 people in the east and cut off the rear.

After Fang Yue and a thousand reinforcements entered the ambush circle, the 100 archers under Yang Han and the 100 archers led by Zhang Liao first launched the attack, and then Gao Shun's 500 Bingzhou soldiers and the 500 Qiang and Hu soldiers under Wang Fang were attacked from the east and west.

These thousand reinforcements were awakened in a deep sleep, and their limbs had not recovered. They were sleepy and were in a state of worst condition. They could not resist unexpectedly. They were defeated almost instantly!

Seeing that the battle situation here was decided, Zhang Liao was completely crazy!

He left five hundred Qiang and Hu soldiers to be commanded by Gao Shun, and asked Gao Shun to be responsible for the ambush here. He separated from Zhao Wu and Yang Han and ordered Yang Han to take more than a dozen people to pretend to be Hanoi soldiers to seek help again. He only said that Fang Yue encountered five hundred thieves attacking on the way and could not win in a short time, for fear of misleading the major reinforcements.

At the same time, Zhang Liao ordered Zhao Wu to bring 400 people to ambush three or four miles away from Heyang City, while he brought more than fifty elite troops to run to Heyang City!

Zuo Ci had already gone to investigate the situation of Heyang City. Heyang City was just a county town. Because the Eastern Han Dynasty was stable for more than 100 years, Heyang City was in the mainland and had no military defense system was established. The original city was already dilapidated. Because Heyang City had Qingfengling Ferry and Heyangjin as defense lines in the east and west, Wang Kuang only slightly repaired Heyang City after the army started. Nowadays, there are many incomplete walls, and the height is only about a meter. Except for the city gate, there are only two bricks thick in other places.

After Zhang Liao learned about this situation, he would not be polite.

In Heyang City, Wang Kuang received a request for help from Yang Han and other Hanoi people. This is Zhang Liao's cleverness, because he had just asked for help before, and Wang Fang, who had already lost his scope, should not be cheated. He heard that there were only 500 thieves, so he was not panicked and sent another 500 people to support him.

These five hundred reinforcements went out of the city three or four miles and were ambushed by Zhao Wu. Yang Han, who led the way, suddenly attacked and assassinated the general. Five hundred reinforcements were in chaos and were soon defeated by Zhao Wu and others.

This place is very close to Heyang City. The defenders in Heyang City heard the faint sound of fighting, and were shocked and suspicious, and reported to Wang Kuang again.

Overnight, Zhang Liao used the ending Qingfengling Ferry Campaign, and the virtual and real battle, surrounded the points to lure the support, and launched wave after wave of ambushing, approaching Heyang City step by step, making his soldiers extremely excited and not tired at all.

However, the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, was completely stunned. Overnight, before he knew it, there were only 300 soldiers left under his command! The battle that was unknown was approaching Heyang City.

Wang Kuang hurriedly called Cui Jun to discuss it again, and Cui Jun also heard the sound of fighting at this time. He realized that something was wrong and rushed over. When he heard Wang Kuang narrate the situation, he immediately paused and knew that Wang Kuang had been surrounded and attacked.
