I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 715: A great victory, the cavalry rolls in
"It's over, it's all over!"

"I can't fight you. I have no chance!"

"Marquis Zhang, let's surrender too."

It is said that Sima Guo’s surrender caused a huge psychological shock to the defenders in the city.

The defense line, which was already shaky in the fierce battle, completely collapsed at this moment.

When Zhang Junhou saw the frightened looks on the faces of the soldiers around him, he knew that it was hopeless, so he waved his hand and ordered the entire army to surrender.

"That's it, that's all."

Zhang Junhou sighed:
"Everyone put down your weapons, we surrender!"

Following Zhang Junhou's order, the war drums on the top of Tongguan City stopped and the sound of golden gongs resounded through the sky.

Flags were taken down one after another, and the soldiers resisting on the city walls also laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground dejectedly.

Under the city, Lu Bu and others saw this and smiled triumphantly:

"It seems that Lord Su's strategy worked. His surprise attack in the rear was very successful."

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

The soldiers of the Western Expedition Army immediately burst into cheers.

"Great victory, great victory!"

Wang Ling excitedly reported the results of the battle to Su Yao:
"The enemy's casualties were over 600, and the rest surrendered. Over 2,000 enemies were completely wiped out, and not a single one escaped."

"The most important thing is that by retaking Tongguan, we have completely opened up the road to the west."

"After our 5,000-plus cavalry enters Guanzhong, no one will be able to defeat you."

"The overall situation has been decided!"

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others also came forward to congratulate and asked about the next arrangements.

Su Yao stood in the crowd and looked at the people around him who were cheering with their weapons raised. He opened the map and took a look.

Dong Zhuo's forces in Guanzhong were on the verge of collapse and were divided into three parts.

The first was Li Ru's troops who were confronting Zhang Liao, Yu Fuluo and others at the northern mountain pass.

The second is Dong Yue’s troops who were riding at full speed on their way back to Chang’an.

Finally, there is Dong Zhuo’s headquarters hiding in Chang’an.

From a generally rational point of view, it seems that all we need to do now is to quickly capture Chang'an and capture Dong Zhuo, and then the other two tribes will surrender.

However, Su Yao vaguely felt that this was not realistic.

He was not sure about Dong Yue's situation, but would Li Ru, who had his own army, easily listen to him and surrender?
His interests were too closely tied to Dong Zhuo's.

Unless this person swore on the Wei River to spare his life, Li Ru would never believe that he would spare his life.

Su Yao obviously had no interest in sparing Li Ru, and he didn't want to ruin his reputation for such a person.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to march north after killing Dong Zhuo, and attack from the front and back together with Zhang Liao and others to completely kill Li Ru.

However, just as Su Yao was about to implement this plan, his eyes suddenly drifted to the right side of the map.

There, it seemed that the situation in Nanyang in the rear still had not made any progress, and even had a tendency to deteriorate.

Su Yao remembered that not long after he set out and marched towards Hongnong, he received a quick report from the rear that Yuan Shu had captured Nanyang and a conflict had broken out with the left-behind children of Yuan Shao's family.

To this end, Lu Zhi, Guan Yu and others acted decisively and sent Dian Wei's troops to support the military situation, striving to stop the war outside the eight passes of Luoyang and not to add panic and disaster to the local people who had already suffered.

However, it seems that Yuan Shu's forces are moving faster than expected. Although the destruction of Yuan Shao's remaining forces does not matter to Su Yao, when he sees that Dian Wei and others are also trapped there, Su Yao decides to speed up a bit.

For this reason, Su Yao didn't even hold a celebration party, and directly swung his sword to the west:

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, let's attack with all our forces!"

"Once Dong Zhuo is defeated, I will hold a grand banquet in Chang'an to reward the three armies!"

Under Su Yao's command, the soldiers of the Western Expedition were in high spirits and set out on the westward journey in a mighty manner.

In their eyes, Dong Zhuo and others were like grasshoppers in autumn, and they would not be able to jump for many more days.

Therefore, by this time, the remnants of Dong the traitor were like walking gift bags to the soldiers of Su Yao's army.

Money, wealth, land, fame, after the battle against Dong Zhuo is over, everyone will receive a generous gift of their own for their military achievements.

As a result, the army's morale was boiling for a while, and the soldiers rushed to shout in response.

"All troops, attack!" "Destroy Dong and welcome the emperor!"

"Follow Lord Su, let's go!"

Su Yao attacked at full speed. Under his rapid attack, the first person to react was Dong Yue who was halfway.

"It's over!"

"Oops!"

"Oh no!"

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain, it's a lure away from the mountain!!!"

Dong Yue regretted deeply when he came to his senses.

Lure the tiger away from the mountain, that's right.

At this time, he had left Tongguan for a night. At dawn the next day, Dong Yue felt more and more that something was wrong as he walked on the road.

"Nothing happened!"

"No enemy detected!"

"The surrounding villages said there were no losses!"

One after another, the scouts came back with information that was completely contrary to the secret orders they had received.

At this point, Dong Yue had no idea that he had fallen into a trap!
"how so."

"General Dong, there are bad people in this court!"

Dong Yue's trusted clerk's face turned pale.

The secret order had been carefully verified by them and was definitely signed by the Shangshutai.

However, they fell into the trap. There was no doubt that someone in the court had secretly defected to Su Yao and took advantage of the invasion of the Huns in the north to spread false news to mislead them.

The whole thing about the emergency in Chang'an and the emperor coming to the rescue is all fake.

Those Huns never broke into Guanzhong at all!
This is natural.

The mountain road was difficult to travel, and the reinforcements from Li Ru and Gao Shun responded quickly.

Therefore, Zhang Liao and Yu Furuo only led their troops to prepare for battle after occupying an important mountain pass in the north. They did not force their way out of the mountain pass to engage in a life-and-death battle with Dong Zhuo's army that was ready for battle.

Therefore, the Hun soldiers never broke into Guanzhong.

The stories about the Hu cavalry crossing Guanzhong and the soldiers of Chang'an being in danger and fighting fiercely were all false.

"Horse riding!"

"Among those noble families, which one is a good person?!"

"How could I have believed their lies?"

Dong Yue held the weapon with trembling hands.

After sorting out the current situation, he didn't even dare to imagine what was happening in Tongguan today.

He could only hope that the Champion Marquis would be able to see through his troop movements as late as possible.

"Quick, return to Tongguan!"

Dong Yue was extremely anxious, fearing that his misjudgment overnight would bring irreversible consequences, so he hurriedly ordered his troops to return for rescue in order to make up for his loss.

But of course, he couldn't catch up.

When dusk fell, Dong Yue's troops, who were jogging all the way, ran head-on into Su Yao's galloping cavalry.

"what?!"

Dong Yue and others were horrified:

"How could it be so fast?!"

And he was answered with a loud shout:
"kill!"

Su Yao was riding a white horse with a silver helmet, wearing a dazzling red robe, and wielding a lance, he was able to defeat a thousand enemies at once. He charged straight ahead and in an instant he had penetrated into the army formation in front of Dong Yong.

Soon after, the Chiyun Knights, also riding white horses and wearing red robes, followed closely.

They waved the spears in their hands and rushed forward like huge waves hitting the shore.

In an instant, the cavalry crushed Dong Yue's troops to pieces.
