The two hundred and sixth round: Killing and surrendering

Hearing that there were enemy troops behind Heyangjin, Fang Li's face couldn't help but change greatly, but he immediately regained his composure:

"Even if Dong Zhuojun divides his troops to attack, there shouldn't be many soldiers and horses, so immediately let those recruits go to the gate of the Heyangjin camp for me to block them! Even if you take the number of people to pile up, you will also annihilate this small army! ”

Fang Li judged according to the line report that the total number of troops dispatched by Dong Zhuo's army from Luoyang did not exceed 20,000 people, and the flag was waved on the other side, and the offensive was fierce, and it must be a main force with a scale of more than 10,000 people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then, it must be only a small force that crosses the river from other places to attack, even if the Liangzhou army is brave and good at fighting, but after all, it still has an advantage in numbers here, and it is impossible to capture Heyangjin with more than a thousand troops alone.

Fang Li gave the order, and the army of the Heyangjin Ferry Battalion began to be dispatched, and a large number of recruits who had originally withdrawn from the fortifications along the river were all transferred to the vicinity of the rear camp gate to deal with the enemy who crossed the river from Xiaopingjin.

However, Fang Li miscalculated, he didn't expect at all: the army that crossed the river from Xiaopingjin was the real main force, a foot cavalry with a scale of nearly 10,000 people.

The defensive position of the camp gate is arranged in a decent manner, and once it can be seen that although Fang Que has no reputation, he is also a talent who is not an immortal general, but it is a pity that Xu Rong is menacing, and it is destined that this Fang Quercus and Taishan soldiers will not have a good end.

The thousands of recruits who were originally guarding at the camp gate were under the orders of the overseers, thinking that the enemy who came to attack this time was only a small force of about a few hundred people, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, so the timid appearance just now was gone, and they were all ready to show their skills and make achievements.

It's just that after a while, their self-confidence collapsed: there are more and more people in the Xiliang Army, all over the mountains, and the number of them is at least more than 10,000!

"The surname Fang lied to us again!"

Before the group of recruits could shout angrily, they were shot by a large number of crossbows flying from the Xiliang cavalry. Xu Rong this time ordered Fan Chou to lead the Liangzhou cavalry first, the Liangzhou army is good at bowing and horses, when launching an attack, the first thing is to draw the bow and shoot arrows, and then throw a spear behind him, so the recruits stationed near the camp gate all suffered, most of the people in front were killed by the previous batches of stray arrows, and the people who escaped the arrow rain did not have time to escape, and were then thrown through the chest by the spear thrown over.

Because all the strong crossbows brought by Wang Kuang were left in the south of the Heyangjin Ferry, only one or two bows and crossbows were left in the fortifications near the camp gate, and under the attack of the bows and arrows of the Xiliang cavalry and throwing guns, no one could get up and fight back.

"Brothers in Liangzhou, come with me!"

Fan Chou heroically rode a jujube red horse, wearing armor and holding a spear, and rushed out first, and then thousands of Liangzhou iron horsemen followed him and rushed straight to the camp in Heyangjin.

The recruits suffered several rounds of blows with bows and arrows and throwing guns, and they had already lost their sharpness, and at this time, they were like frightened birds, and even before they could react, many of them had already been trampled to death by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who rushed in front of them.

Even the troops who rushed out from behind the camp gate to support were unable to compete with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and as soon as the two sides fought, the Xiliang army was unstoppable, and the defenders were bloodied all over the ground and collapsed.

"My lord, the camp gate...... I can't stand it! ”

"What!!"

Only then did Fang Li realize that the situation was out of control, and he was still scolding angrily in his heart: This group of recruits is really a rice bucket, and they are so weak that even a small army of surprise attacks is powerless to resist.

"My lord, there are at least 10,000 Dong Zhuojun attacking the camp gate from our rear!"

"Nonsense! Where did Dong Zhuojun get so many troops? ”

Fang Li was still angrily scolding his subordinates, but when he turned his head and took a closer look, he suddenly felt terrified: the mountains and fields in the rear were full of Dong Zhuojun's foot horses, and at this scale, there were indeed 10,000 people.

“…… How, how could it be! ”

Fang Li was dumbfounded, he didn't want to believe that there would be so many more than 10,000 people who crossed the Yellow River from other places without knowing it, and also went around behind Heyangjin.

"My lord! What to do? The group of recruits at the gate of the camp couldn't stop it at all! ”

"This ......"

Fang Li was dumbfounded: What should I do? Let the Tarzan soldiers, who are blocking the enemy army crossing the river, turn back to defend the camp gate? At this time, it was too late, and the offensive of Dong Zhuo's army crossing the river was also very fierce, and once he turned back, the rear would suffer serious losses. Moreover, let all the enemy troops who crossed the river land, and when they are attacked on both sides, then he will be finished.

After the cavalry team led by Fan Chou rushed into the camp gate, and the Fang Li army fought together, the gap in the quality of the soldiers on both sides was once again highlighted, the Xiliang army horses can fight well, after entering the crowd, one by one is like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable, and the infantry and cavalry association are handy, the cavalry rushed into the formation to completely destroy the position of the Fang Li army, and then the infantry in the rear rushed up, making up for the numerical disadvantage of the cavalry, the two sides fought a battle, and the Fang Li army was suddenly killed and turned over on his back.

Fan Chou fought for a while, and after the troops in the rear arrived to support, he ordered his horse and returned to Xu Rong's side and reported the battle situation to her:

"The battle is going very well, and it won't be long before the enemy forces in Heyangjin are swept away!"

Seeing that Fan Chou still had a little blood on his body, Xu Rong nodded, she turned her head and pointed to a person on the tall building in the middle of the ferry and asked Ah Chu:

"Ah Chu, look at the position of that person and his outfit, could he be the main general of the enemy army here?"

Ah Chu squinted her eyes and looked at it, she had seen the battlefield when she followed Liu Yi before, so she recognized it immediately:

"It should be the main general, but the distance is too far for our bows and crossbows to reach."

Xu Rong took off the jade waist bow he was carrying behind him, took the bow and set up an arrow, and was about to aim at the person above the tall building.

"General Xu can't have shot that person?"

Even Fan Chou's eyes widened: If this can be shot, it will be a god!

As soon as Xu Rong's hand was released, a bow and arrow shot out like a cloud piercing.

"General be careful!"

Fang Li was still anxiously thinking about whether to mobilize the Taishan soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the enemy crossing the river, when he suddenly heard a "boom", and an arrow hit his eyebrows. Fang Li fell backwards without even being aware of it, and fell from the tall building.

"General Fang is dead!"

The Taishan soldiers were in a mess for a while, and at this time there were already Xiliang cavalry killed behind the Taishan soldiers, even the well-trained Taishan elite soldiers, at this time, facing the danger of the former wolf and the tiger, there was nothing to do. What's more, because their main general was killed, the morale of the army was lost, and suddenly the whole line finally collapsed.

"General Xu is really a celestial man!"

"General Xu's archery skills are the best in the world!"

Fan Chou was even more respectful to Xu Rong this time, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down towards Xu Rong, and said with sincere admiration:

"The general's archery skills are extraordinary, and he is really a god!"

Xu Rong smiled slightly: "General Fan has won the award, now, it's time to clean up the battlefield." ”

"Obey the order!"

After Fan Chou got up, he jumped on horseback and led the guards around him to fight into the ferry again, at this time the Taishan soldiers had no will to fight, except for a very few who were still desperately resisting, most of them had already dropped their weapons and began to flee in all directions.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

After the Xiliang army released the slogan, groups of deserters dropped their weapons and fell to their knees. Of the more than 10,000 Wang Kuang's troops stationed in Heyangjin, more than 1,000 were killed, and except for those who escaped by luck, the remaining 7,000 people all surrendered. Gao Shun's Bingzhou army also crossed the river at this time, entered Heyangjin, and joined Xu Rong's main force.

The battle ended quickly, and in addition to Zhang Liao's 5,000 soldiers and horses in Jinbei Province, Xu Rong and Gao Shun's men and horses immediately began to clean up the battlefield after they merged, and she had to rush to support Zhang Liao's troops stationed in Jinbei Province as quickly as possible. The Taishan soldiers here are not the main force of Wang Kuang's army, and the real fierce battle is still to come.

Gao Shun's subordinate Gao Ya arrived first, and he immediately reported the battle situation to Xu Rong: "The Bingzhou army lost more than 300 people in the battle of crossing the river, and now the whole army has crossed the Yellow River, and General Gao will be able to arrive soon when he is in the rear." ”

"Okay."

Xu Rong nodded slightly, and then ordered all the generals:

"Leaving the infantry to clean up the battlefield, all the cavalry immediately rushed to Jinbei Province to support General Zhang Liao's headquarters."

"General Xu!"

Gao Shun arrived on horseback: "There are about six or seven thousand troops here, and if there are not enough troops left, it is impossible to escort such a number of troops." However, relying only on thousands of cavalry to support, I am afraid that there will be huge losses, Wang Kuang's main force is in Zhancheng, presumably he will bring all the main force when he comes to support Heyangjin this time. ”

"You're right."

Xu Rong agreed with Gao Shun's statement, since it was the first battle, in addition to ensuring victory, his own losses should naturally be as small as possible, so as to get Dong Zhuo's approval. Since you have to deal with Wang Kuang's main force, then you should do your best, and it is the best policy to use all the troops, but the thousands of troops here cannot be left unattended, and if these people cause chaos, it will also affect the battle situation, so ...... There is only one solution.

"Push all these troops into the river."

Xu Rong's cold words made the still somewhat noisy battlefield seem very eeriely quiet.

"General!"

Fan Chou, Gao Shun and the others all widened their eyes: "What do you mean...... To drown all these captives? ”

"It's too time-consuming to kill them one by one, push them all into the river, whether they live or die, it depends on their own creation."

After Xu Rong finished saying this cold sentence, Ah Chu behind her turned pale, killing prisoners was an immoral act, even if she had followed Liu Yi for many years and experienced a lot of battles, she had never seen such a brutal and unjustified act.

"General! These soldiers...... Most of them were recruited by Wang Kuang just to satisfy their stomachs, and now that they have been disarmed and surrendered, they should be spared! Besides, the matter of killing and surrendering will definitely be spurned by the people of the world! ”

Ah Chu just wanted to dissuade her, but Gao Shun had already taken her to say everything.

Xu Rong didn't look at Gao Shun more, but looked at Fan Chou and said to Fan Chou:

"General Fan, Xiangguo's meaning is to use this battle to deter all the people in the world who disobey him, you have been following Xiangguo for many years, Xiangguo's words, you should also agree with this time, right? What's more, we have to rush to Jinbei Province to support immediately, how can we divide our troops to take care of these prisoners? ”

Fan Chou nodded in agreement:

"General Xu's words are reasonable."

The Xiliang army has always been cruel, even if they are allowed to kill and surrender, there will not be too many people to oppose it, not to mention that Fan Chou is a rough person, the first battle of Heyangjin made him very unhappy, and at this time, he hopes to fight the second battle immediately, so he naturally agrees with Xu Rong's time-saving behavior.

Then, despite the fact that most of the generals in the army opposed the act of killing and surrendering, Xu Rong still insisted on being the same, even if Ah Chu was also persuading her behind her, it was to no avail.

More than 10,000 infantry cavalry immediately began to march towards Jinbei Road, while the remaining more than 2,000 infantry directly pushed all the thousands of people tied up into the river. In an instant, the sound of crying, begging for mercy, and screams were endless, even many soldiers couldn't help but be miserable when they heard it, and Ah Chu couldn't help but choke back tears and secretly sobbed on horseback: Why is Miss Rong so inhumane? That's the lives of six or seven thousand!

Xu Rong indifferently looked at Ah Chu, whose eyes were red, she didn't say anything, but ordered: "The whole army, move north immediately, the troops are divided into two routes, and within half an hour, we must arrive at Jinbei Road!" ”
