Yue Fei surrounded the city but did not attack.
It was to exhaust the enemy, but also to cherish talents.
Zhang Liao was a good general. It would be a pity to kill him.
If both sides were to open up and fight fairly, even if Yue Fei wanted to defeat the other party, he would have to pay a huge price.
Zhang Liao was defeated.
The main reason was that the information was not equal.
Cao Ang's appointment of Xiahou Dun as a general was actually a trap for Zhang Liao.
Xiahou Dun had fought with Lu Bu several times, so Zhang Liao believed that he knew Xiahou Dun well enough.
He didn't know that Guo Jia, Xun You, and Yue Fei had already set up an inescapable net and had been schemed against from the beginning.
Guo Jia had set up the empty camp plan to create confusion. He had calculated that Zhang Liao would not easily cross the river and would instead use fire to attack Cao Cao's camp. In fact, Shouchun had no soldiers to defend at all, and the army had taken a detour from the beginning.
The Cao Army's attack was actually divided into three sections.
In the first section, Yue Fei led 8,000 elite soldiers. Taking advantage of Zhang Liao's midnight fire attack, they suddenly attacked the rear.
At that time, Zhang Liao's army had already prepared to cross the river. The entire army was close to the river bank. Once they were attacked from behind, there was no way to retreat. The main force would definitely be annihilated. The plan itself was perfect.
Not to mention Zhang Liao, there were more than 20,000 people.
Even if he had 100,000 or 80,000, he would still suffer heavy losses.
When Yue Fei used troops.
He made his own adjustments.
The eight thousand soldiers were split into cavalry and infantry.
When the five thousand cavalrymen attacked Zhang Liao's army, they deliberately left a small opening.
There is a saying in the art of war.
The circumference is three times that of Jue.
Zhang Liao was an outstanding general.
If they were forced into a corner, they would definitely fight back with all their might, unleashing a lot of their potential, which would more or less cause damage.
When there was still a chance of survival, he would choose to preserve his strength and retreat with his soldiers as much as possible.
Yue Fei then led 3,000 strong troops to set up an ambush in the forest in the northeast.
When Zhang Liao's army had fled for more than ten miles, the soldiers were already exhausted. They had finally found a hiding place and thought that they could rest and relax. However, they were suddenly ambushed by a second wave of attacks. They were once again defeated and lost their fighting spirit.
Yue Fei followed closely behind.
Zhang Liao was forced into a desperate situation.
With 8,000 soldiers, not only did they easily defeat 20,000 soldiers of Xu Prefecture, but they also defeated 20,000 soldiers of Xu Prefecture.
Yue Fei Fang's casualties could be counted on one hand. It was definitely a complete victory!
When Yue Fei defeated Zhang Liao.
The second and third attacks were launched at the same time.
Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan led a small force of 2,000 men to cut off the supply route of the Xuzhou soldiers.
Xiahou Dun, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin led 10,000 Cao troops and boldly went deep into the city. They directly attacked Xiaopei and seized Pei City. They took the enemy by surprise and occupied the rear stronghold of the Xuzhou army in one fell swoop.
Destroy the main force, cut off the grain road, and seize the stronghold.
The army approached Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
It only took one night.
Lu Bu had been forced from an offensive position to a defensive position!
It was no longer a matter of Lu Bu interfering in Huaibei.
Pengcheng in Xuzhou was in danger.
Lu Bu's camp was exposed to the threat.
"Zhang Liao, do you dare to come out and fight me?" Yue Fei shouted at the valley.。”
In the small valley.
Four to five thousand soldiers were covered in dust.
Zhang Liao looked around and saw that the high ground had been occupied by Cao soldiers.
Whether Yue Fei used rolling stones, rolling logs, infantry to attack, or set fire to the mountain pass to smoke the valley, he could easily wipe out these remnants.
There was no hope!
Hearing Yue Fei's words.
Zhang Liao's pride rose. Even if he died, he had to regain his dignity and face. He was going to die anyway. Why would he be afraid of a nameless person's challenge?
"Why not?"
The Cao army had completely blocked the valley.
Hundreds of bows were aimed at Zhang Liao who walked out alone.
Yue Fei raised his hand to signal the archer to put down his bow. He carried his spear and walked to a place about ten feet away from Zhang Liao. He looked at him with admiration and said,"You have guts, but I don't know how good your martial arts are!”
"Why don't you try it and you'll know?"
Zhang Liao also used his spear. Without saying a word, he raised his spear and stabbed.
Although Zhang Liao was not a fierce general who relied on his martial strength to make a living, it did not mean that he was not brave enough. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fight the battle of Xiaoyao Jin that shocked future generations.
Zhang Liao's martial arts might not be as good as the Five Tiger Generals, but he should be the best among the Five Good Generals. His strength had reached 89 points, which was much stronger than Zhang Xiu of Wancheng.
However…
Opposite him.
But Yue Fei.
Yue Fei's battle strength was at the standard of the Five Tiger Generals.
The Yue Clan's spear technique was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder. Both sides exchanged dozens of blows, and Zhang Liao's weapon was knocked away by a single strike. Yue Fei's spear was pressed against Zhang Liao's throat.
As long as he advanced a little.
Zhang Liao died.
"Who exactly are you?!"
"As I said, I am Yue Fei, a deputy general under the lord.”
Deputy General?
Such a character.
Just a deputy general?
He could say with absolute certainty.
Yue Fei's military talent was far above his own.
In terms of martial arts, he did not lose to Liu Bei and Guan Zhang.
This was a top-notch commander who had the ability to conquer the world and establish unparalleled achievements. However, under Cao Ang, he was only a small deputy general!
"I admit my loss wholeheartedly. If you want to kill me or cut me up, please do as you please!”
Yue Fei put down his gun." Brother Zhang Liao is a hero of the world. He just followed the wrong lord. Otherwise, how could he be today?" It's a pity to die just like that. As long as you're willing to surrender to me, I'm willing to plead with my lord to spare your life!”
Zhang Liao hesitated.
He was not a blindly loyal person.
He could also see that although Yue Fei was only a deputy general, the fact that he was given the important task of being the vanguard in this battle was enough to show that Cao Ang recognized his talent.
This person would definitely soar in the future.
He would become a famous general that would shake the world.
If he could follow such a general to conquer the world.
Zhang Liao believed that he could make great contributions and leave his name in history.
However, as one of Lu Bu's former subordinates, Zhang Liao was unable to defect to the enemy and attack them. As such, he was hesitant.
Yue Fei was a very sensitive person.
He immediately understood Zhang Liao's hesitation.
"I can give Brother Zhang enough time to consider. After Xu Prefecture is pacified, it won't be too late to give me an answer when we meet again!”
In other words.
He planned to lock Zhang Liao up.
After Yue Fei killed Lu Bu, he would let Zhang Liao make the choice.
Their commander, Zhang Liao, was defeated and captured. The five thousand Xu soldiers in the valley lost their will to fight. They put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Yue Fei's first battle.
He shone brightly.
14,500 were wiped out.
Nearly 5,000 soldiers surrendered.
Capture the enemy's commander alive.
The troops he led were almost completely unharmed, a complete victory.
