Chapter 0088 Han Meng defeated
No words all night.
After dawn, Han Zhan led a large army out again.
On the way, Han Zhan couldn't help asking Zhao Yun: "Zilong, the next city we are going to is Tantai. I wonder if it has been occupied by Yuan's subordinates."
"Don't worry, please." Seeing Han Zhan's worried look, Zhao Yun quickly comforted him and said, "The rest of the generals under Yuan's subordinates except Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not worth mentioning."
"Zhao County Wei is right." As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Xun You interrupted: "Now Gongsun Zan's troops have approached the Jieqiao, and Yuan's family will inevitably lead a large army to meet the enemy. Yan Liang and Wen Chou will naturally go with him. Those who sent to deal with our army are all ordinary generals, Zhao County Wei, Dian Junhou, and Prince Xiahou are more than enough to deal with them."
Xun You's words made Han Zhan feel much more at ease. He turned his head and looked at Guo Jia who was following behind, and asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, what are you thinking, why are you looking depressed?"
Guo Jia urged the horse to come over and asked Han Zhan in a low voice: "Reply to the envoy, Jia has been thinking about something, as if we were negligent."
"What's the matter?" Han Zhan asked in confusion.
"I dare to ask the envoy," Guo Jia bowed to Han Zhan and asked, "I wonder if I have sent someone to warn Geng Changshi and the others?"
Guo Jia's words immediately made Han Zhan sweat. He quickly turned his head and asked Xun You: "Cousin Gongda, among the messengers you sent yesterday, are there anyone who sent a letter to Geng Changshi?"
Xun You shook his head and said, "No, what the envoy said. I thought you had sent someone to inform Geng Changshi, so I didn't do anything more."
"Oh no, Geng Changshi is in danger!" Han Zhan was so anxious that he smashed his fist into his palm: "Cousin Gongda, please write a letter to Geng Changshi immediately and order people to rush to Jizhou to meet Geng Changshi, and ask him to hide outside with Lord Min first and wait patiently for our army to arrive."
Xun You agreed, immediately turned his horse's head, called his followers on the side of the road, took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a warning letter to Geng Wuminchun nervously.
Seeing the messenger riding a horse disappearing from his sight, Han Zhan said with lingering fear: "I hope the letter we sent will reach Geng Changshi in time."
…………
After noon, Han Zhan's army finally arrived near Tantai City and saw from a distance that there were already a large army outside the city. Han Zhan quickly raised his hand and signaled the army to stop. He looked left and right and said to everyone: "The Yuan army was prepared for a long time. It seems that there will be a hard battle today."
"Don't worry, yes." Dian Wei, who had no achievements yesterday, said hurriedly: "When I go and kill the chief general of Yuan army, I will kill these soldiers."
"Dian Weiqie is not reckless." After Zhao Yun stopped him in time, he began to arrange troops. The cavalry was in the middle, and the infantry was on the left and right wings. After the formation was completed, the army slowly pushed towards Yuan's army, who was waiting for the battle.
Seeing Han Zhan's army forming a decisive formation and pushing towards him, General Yuan's army waved the sword in his hand and signaled the square formation to advance.
Both sides stopped a stone's throw away. Han Zhan looked around and asked loudly, "Who is willing to take the lead?"
Before Zhao Yun could speak, Dian Wei rushed out with his double halberds. He came to the formation and shouted loudly at the other party: "Chen Liu Dian Wei is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"
A military marquis holding a spear rushed out of Yuan's army, came to the front of the formation, pointed at Dian Wei with his finger, and said in a mocking tone: "Who am I supposed to be? It turns out that he is a flag bearer under the prefect Zhang of Chenliu, and he dares to call in front of the army. I have an unknown person under my gun, you should go back quickly and find your master to come out and die."
Yuan Junhou's words caused a burst of laughter. Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan and others also showed anger on their faces when they heard the other party's insults Dian Wei. However, Han Zhan was laughing in his heart. Junhou, who joked about Yuan Jun, actually dared to provoke Dian Wei. He really didn't know how the word "death" was written.
Dian Wei was indeed angry by the other party. He roared, and his left iron halberd suddenly raised, swaying the spear in his hand to the other party's hand. Then he wiped the iron halberd with his right hand towards the other party's neck. Junhou's big head flew into the air, and blood spurted out from his neck like a fountain. His body shook on the horse's back and landed on the ground with a coaxing sound.
Seeing Dian Wei's bravery, Yuan Jun's laughter suddenly stopped. They never dreamed that a military marquis with high martial arts could not even meet Dian Wei, so they were different.
Dian Wei waved his double halberds, like a mighty god, and shouted at the dumbfounded Yuan Jun: "Who else will die?"
When General Yuan Jun saw Dian Wei killing Junhou, his subordinates seemed a little panicked. He quickly carried a big knife in his hand and urged his horse to come to Dian Wei, and said loudly: "Han Meng, the subordinate of the Junhou of Wei, come and learn your skills."
Dian Wei didn't know who Han Meng was. When he saw the other party slashing at him, he immediately raised his double halberds to fight. The two of them fought back and forth and fought to the same place.
Han Zhan knew in his heart that he did not see that there were not many descriptions of Han Meng in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but his martial arts were also good among the generals under Yuan Shao. Yan Liangwen and Zhang He Gao Lan were the "Four Courts and One Pillar", while Han Meng and the four of them were called "Four Courts and One Pillar". This shows how good his martial arts are.
In a moment, the two of them passed more than a dozen moves, which was comparable and it was difficult to decide the outcome. Han Zhan had no intention of waiting for the generals to take the result, so he drew out his sword and shouted: "Brothers, fight with me!" After shouting, he waved the sword in his hand towards the front and rushed out.
Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan and others were afraid that he would be in danger, so they rushed out.
The five thousand army rushed towards Yuan Jun opposite him with shouts.
There were only one thousand Yuan soldiers who set up their formation outside the city, and all of them were infantry. They were defeated by the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, and the infantry on the left and right wings were trapped again. They had no way out to heaven and had no way to enter the ground, so they could only abandon their weapons and surrender one after another.
Han Meng, who was fighting with Dian Wei, saw his subordinates surrendering. He secretly shouted "No," and quickly slashed his sword, forced Dian Wei back, turned his horse's head and ran back.
Dian Wei was not willing to let him go, and shouted: "Where can you run!" He waved his halberd and rushed up.
Han Meng ran back to the city, and the suspension bridge had been lifted up and the city gate was closed. He hurriedly shouted to the city wall: "Open the door quickly and let me in!"
An official wearing a black official uniform on the city tower shouted: "We have surrendered to Mr. Han." After that, he ordered his left and right to "shoot arrows!"
