Chapter 488
Hearing that Zhang Xun recognized the formation laid down by Chang Yuchun, the generals were relieved. Now that Zhang Xun had already uttered bold words and everyone did not stop them, Zhang Xun led a thousand cavalry out of Shangcai.

Zhang Xun didn't know the difference between the eight-door golden lock formation in front of him. He only regarded it as a shallow formation. He led the cavalry outside the city, looked at a direction and said: "The eight-door golden lock formation enters through the Shengmen and exits through the Jingmen. , all the soldiers follow me to kill!"

Zhang Xun rushed into the Shengmen with a group of cavalry.

Chang Yuchun Jianzhi sneered and said: "It's true that Zhang Xun is only familiar with this battle. The military division has changed the order of the eight schools. Zhang Xun entered the wrong school!"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "That's all right, the general can command the soldiers to set up shield formations to surround them and force Hou Junji to send troops to rescue them!"

"Okay!" Chang Yuchun was full of joy, and immediately waved the command flag to command the Han army in the formation!

The soldiers in the eight-door golden lock formation knew it, and immediately changed their formation, holding shields one by one, divided Zhang Xun's cavalry, and surrounded the soldiers with shield soldiers.The Han army didn't use any ultimate moves, but just divided and besieged, making Zhang Xun exhausted.

Zhang Xun led the cavalry to rush left and right in the formation. After about half an hour, he couldn't find the location of Jingmen. When he looked back, the thousand cavalry behind him had already been scattered, and there were only dozens of cavalry behind him.

At this time, Zhang Xun didn't know that he was trapped, so he couldn't help sweating profusely, and immediately shouted to the top of the city: "Hurry up, lead the troops to rescue me!"

General Yuan on the top of the city also felt bad. If ordinary people die, they will die, but Zhang Xun is a general. If he is not in the battle, how will they explain to Yuan Shu?After thinking about it, several people also knew that Kaesong rescued Zhang Xun.

The Han army set down at the south gate, and five thousand Yuan soldiers rushed out from the east and west gates each, and charged towards the eight golden lock formations at the south gate.On the top of the south gate, the remaining Yuan soldiers also shot arrows into the formation, hoping to put pressure on the Han army.However, the Han army in the Bamen Jinsuo formation had many shields, and the Yuan soldiers on the top of the city could not pose a threat to the Han army at all.

Five thousand Yuan soldiers were fired from each of the east and west gates, and headed towards the eight-gate golden lock array. The outermost soldiers held their shields and went out, while the archers prepared in the rear continued to shoot arrows at the Yuan soldiers who were rushing to harass them.

In the camp of the Han army, Yang Yansi was already ready, and immediately led [-] soldiers and horses. Except for the south gate, [-] generals from each gate surrounded Shangcai.

There were only [-] soldiers and horses in Shangcai City, and now [-] came out, and Zhang Xun led [-] cavalry trapped in the eight-door golden lock formation, and the situation was critical for a while.

However, the Han army besieged and did not kill, and Yuan Bing in the city had no choice but to light the beacon fire on the top of the city and ask Hou Junji for help.

The beacon is the most important distress signal, and it should not be lit unless it is absolutely necessary. Now the Shangcai beacon is lit, but after a while, the beacon can be seen from tens of miles away, and the forts along the river immediately responded by lighting the beacon.

But for a long time, dozens of fortresses responded with beacon fire for hundreds of miles along the Ru River, and the flames of war rose into the sky.

Hou Junji was stationed in the fortress in the middle, and when he saw the smoke rising, he immediately said angrily, "What's going on, who lit the smoke?"

"General, it's probably Shangcai's side that lit it first!" The soldier replied.

Hou Junji said angrily: "This Zhang Xun has ruined my big business. I have written to him many times, but to no avail. I am afraid that he has fallen for the trick of the Han army and lost the battle with the Han army."

At this time, Yuan Jun's scouts also quickly came to Hou Junji's place and reported: "General, the general was surrounded by the Han army, and the [-] troops from Shangcai City went out to rescue without success, but they were surrounded by the main force of the Han army. Shangcai, now that the army cannot advance or retreat that night, I ask the general to quickly send troops to rescue."

Hou Junji yelled: "Bastard, I set up a fort along the river to focus on defense and resist the Han army. Taking the initiative to attack is to exploit our weaknesses and avoid our strengths. I have already told Zhang Xun not to fight. Don’t the Han army just want to force me to fight? I don’t care about him, let him fend for himself! Put out the wolf smoke!”

Hou Junji was also a ruthless person, so he decided to ignore Zhang Xun and let him be besieged by the Han army.Even to extinguish the smoke of the wolf, it is necessary to know that the soldiers and horses will meet.But this smoke is an order, if there is a little smoke, soldiers and horses will naturally gather, even if the smoke is extinguished, it will not help.

"General, Zhang Xun is a great general. If we don't save him, we won't be able to survive! What's more, if there is a little smoke, the soldiers and horses will naturally converge. Even if the smoke is extinguished, it won't help. It's better to gather together to rescue the general." The deputy general stood aside Persuade.

"This is the only way to go. Prepare yourselves and gather troops to rescue Shangcai!" Hou Junji weighed in and ordered.

After everyone left, Hou Junji murmured: "This time the troops will definitely be defeated. Once the defense along the river is lost, it will be extremely difficult to resist the Han army. At that time, the main force will be held back by the Han army. Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian will send troops in two directions. , I am afraid that the destruction is not far away, I have to make preparations early! I am afraid that Yuan Shu's subordinates will not be able to stay longer."

After thinking for a while, Hou Junji shook his head and said: "I need to save Zhang Xun first, lest I get the reputation of defecting regardless of the master, and other princes will not tolerate me!"

In the fort that Hou Jun gathered, the five hundred soldiers in the fort had assembled, and the rear fort, soldiers and horses also gathered here.Like a long dragon, it goes up along the river.

But Yang Zaixing and Gan Ning, who had already been in ambush, saw the beacon fire together, and prepared to lead the cavalry to fight out.Together, Yang Zaixing said, "When the soldiers and horses in Yuan Jun's fortress are dispatched, they will form a long dragon formation. Our army will outflank it from behind, or we can attack from the middle. Why don't you and I lead 500 troops each and I will go from the middle?" Break out, you outflank from the back, so it will create more chaos."

Gan Ning thought it was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed, so Gan Ning led [-] cavalry to outflank the rear, while Yang Zaixing directly fought Yuan Jun's middle army and killed him.

The cavalry galloped up, and within an hour, Yang Zaixing led the cavalry to the riverside, but saw a long dragon marching along the river to Shangcai, surrounded by Yuan Jun, Yang Zaixing led the cavalry to rush out immediately.

How did Yuan Jun's formation make the Han army's opponent?It is impossible to form an array to meet the enemy, and they are immediately killed by the cavalry, and they cannot look at each other from head to tail.At the same time, Gan Ning successfully outflanked Yuan Jun's rear and led his cavalry all the way to the north.

"The big thing is not good. I knew that the Han army was not so simple. When did the cavalry come around!" Hou Junji was rushing to Shangcai in the front, but there was a sound of fighting behind him, and Hou Junji knew immediately It was the Han army who outflanked the cavalry.

The soldiers and horses around Hou Junji were in a panic. Hou Junji thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid we will all die here if we go to rescue Zhang Xun. Let's go north to Pingyu, and then go south to Xincai. Where can we intercept him?" Han army!"

Now these people didn't dare to propose to save Zhang Xun any more, and hurriedly followed Hou Junji's order and fled north to Pingyu.

Hou Junji fled northward with about 1 remaining soldiers and horses, while Yang Zaixing and Gan Ning led the cavalry to kill along the Ru River.

Gan Ning joined Yang Zaixing's cavalry, and Gan Ning said: "General Yang, the cavalry came to report to Hou Junji and led the troops to flee northward. Shall we go after Hou Junji, or go to Shangcai to join General Chang's main force?"

"I waited for [-] cavalry to chase Yuan Jun's [-], and we were able to win ten times because Yuan Jun's team was loose. Now that Hou Junji is fleeing north, he must gather his troops and prepare to lay an ambush against our army. Anyway, the fortresses along the Ruhe River have been closed. If it loses its effect, our army no longer needs to pursue it." Yang Zaixing thought for a moment and said.

However, Gan Ning shook his head and said: "Yuan Jun fled north in a hurry, how can we ambush our army? Isn't our army going to defeat Yuan Jun and attract the main force to resist Runan? Now is the time to expand the results of the battle, how about you and I divide our troops and advance , you go to meet General Chang, and I will lead the cavalry to chase Yuan Jun?"

"That's fine, but you have to act cautiously, don't fall for it!" Yang Zaixing urged.

Gan Ning nodded and said: "General Yang, don't worry, even if I fail to pursue, I will return safely with the cavalry!"

"Be careful all the way!" Yang Zaixing cupped his hands on the horse and led more than 1000 cavalry towards Shangcai.Gan Ning pursued Hou Junji with the rest of his troops.

Under Shangcai City, Zhang Xun was trapped in the eight-door golden lock formation, and another [-] Yuan soldiers were also surrounded by the Han army and could not escape.

Chang Yuchun and Fang Xuanling looked eastward and saw Hou Junji leading the Yuan soldiers fleeing northward after being killed by the cavalry.Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "General Yang Zaixing will succeed, and Yuan Jun's fortress along the river will be taken down. Our army can also take advantage of the momentum to take down Shang Caike."

Chang Yuchun made a gesture to wave the command flag and let the soldiers and horses kill the besieged Zhang Xun.

Fang Xuanling quickly grabbed Chang Yuchun and said, "Why did the general kill this person?"

"What? Zhang Xun is the general appointed by Yuan Zexu. If I kill him, I will definitely deal a blow to Yuan Jun!" Chang Yuchun wondered.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Zhang Xun is just an incompetent person. The general thinks that killing him will be of great use. It's clever to keep him and let him command a large army?"

Chang Yuchun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said: "The military master is right, killing him will be the same. If I keep him and let him escape back to Shouchun, it's fine if Yuan Shu doesn't kill him. If he escapes for a while Jie, continuing to lead the Chengguo army will be of great benefit to attacking Yuan Shu! Whether Zhang Xun is here to defend Runan, or to resist Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian, he will be vulnerable!"

Chang Yuchun knew how to let Zhang Xun go, so he waved the command flag immediately, and a passage appeared in the formation. Seeing this, Zhang Xun quickly followed the passage and escaped from the eight-door golden lock formation. Under his protection, he also fled towards Pingyu.

And Chang Yuchun commanded the Han army to fight against the Yuan army under the city. The Han army is numerous and powerful, so where is Yuan Jun's opponent?When it was dark, the Han army wiped out the Yuan army under the city. Shangcai was besieged.
