"Big ...... The king is dead? ”

"The king is dead!"

As the Great Bow of the King of Nanqiao fell, his own head was picked up by Guan Yu on the tip of his sword and hung on his horse, and within hundreds of steps next to him, the morale of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry finally collapsed completely.

They were originally defeated and retreated after being violently strangled by the Han army for a while, and now there is Zhao Yun on the side to intercept the waist, and then the king of Yu beheaded to chase and kill, those guys who already lack faith, how can there be a reason not to scatter birds and beasts.

"Steady! Flee in one direction! If it is scattered, it will only be broken by the Han army! After a long time, the military advisor Yan Rou began to try hoarsely to rectify the defeated army, but too few people listened to him. Without the King of Nanqiao, most of the Wuhuan people no longer recognize his command.

If it weren't for the fact that Yan Rou was a Han who was captured by the Wuhuan people since he was a child and had lived in Wuhuan for more than ten years, many officers from up and down the king of Nanqiao knew him, I am afraid that he would not even have this appeal.

Yan Rou also had no choice, when the King of Nanqiao was beheaded by Guan Yu, he was only fifty steps away from the scene. Thanks to his inconspicuous armor and unnoticed at the time, he was able to escape in the other direction.

When he first escaped, because the distance from Guan Yu was not far enough, Yan Rou didn't dare to command loudly so as not to be targeted by Guan Yu, and fled two miles away before starting to clean up the defeated army, but he had already missed the best opportunity.

After a whole afternoon of chasing the dead to the north, when Yan Rou withdrew to Changli City, he counted the people around him, and there were only 2,000 horsemen left to flee back to the city.

When the army was sent out in the early morning, it was a full 12,000 horsemen! Nearly 10,000 cavalry just disappeared!

Yan Rou estimated that only a small half of the people killed and injured by Guan Yu and Zhao Yunjun were killed, and more than half of them were completely escaped during the collapse of the king, or they were divided and surrendered when Zhao Yun intercepted them.

I don't know how many defeated soldiers will be willing to flee back and continue to work for their lives in the future.

I'm afraid that those people will see that the king will be killed, and there is no hope of rebellion, so they will surrender directly.

After this battle, the strength advantage of the rebels on the large and small Yushui fronts has completely disappeared, and the original 23,000 people against the Han army 10,000. Now there are still 7,000 troops left in Changli City, and 6,000 in Tuhe City, adding up to 13,000.

Although the Han army suffered casualties, the scattered Wuhuan cavalry did not know how many were captured and surrendered, even if these Wuhuan prisoners could not be used in battle immediately.

However, by reorganizing the captured horses and weapons, selecting the elite and strong soldiers from the tens of thousands of Tuntian refugees who had recently defected to Liu Bei, and then taking prisoners of war as serfs to forcibly guard the Tuntian, Liu Bei could obviously organize thousands of recruits in the short term.

Yan Rou had a big head when he thought about it.

He originally made a plan for the king to plunder all the people's food and drive them to Liu Bei's side, so that Liu Bei's grain and grass would be exhausted faster, so that Liu Bei could not bear the difficulty of supplying in the no-man's land and retreated.

But the uncontrollable battle of the King of Nanqiao, combined with Liu Bei's shelter of hungry people Tun Tian Ce, actually made Liu Bei's soldiers bigger and bigger, who is going to reason with this?

Liu Bei just bought the hearts of the people by transporting grain from Mizhu, and got so many weapons and equipment and spoils, alas, it was self-defeating.

……

While Yan Rou was mourning there, Liu Beijun's camp was full of joy.

"My lord, clean up the battlefield, and capture more than 2,300 enemy cavalry, including men and horses. In addition, more than 1,000 empty horses were cleaned up and uninhabited.

It was found that more than 1,600 seriously wounded people were riding and 1,900 wounded and lame war horses had already helped them end their suffering, and the butchers in the army were urgently slaughtering the reserve horse meat for military rations.

More than 1,000 people were slightly injured, and they have been sent for treatment, and they will be taken into military camps according to your orders. The horses were used as ploughing horses, pack horses, rented to the people of Tuntian, and pulled baggage carts. ”

When Zhao Yun, who was in charge of chasing the remnants of the enemy and cleaning up the battlefield, came back, the first piece of good news he brought to Liu Bei made everyone very excited.

This is the good thing about fighting with the nomads, as long as you can win the war, and it is a big victory at the level of annihilation, the capture of war horses will definitely not be less, and it is an order of magnitude that the princes who suppressed bandits in the interior and the south dare not think of.

Liu Beijun originally only had two thousand cavalry horses, but now after deducting the hundreds of horses lost by Zhao Yun in repeated battles, there are three or four thousand captured, and once he comes and goes, at least five thousand cavalry horses can be left!

The number of horses in this war is already faintly equal to that of Gongsun Zhan!

Who let the task of chasing and defeating the remnants of the pure rebel army in history should have been carried out by Gongsun Zhan.

"Zilong has won such a heavy weight, his merit is not small, come and come, first reward 20 catties of gold and 200 pieces of satin. Tonight, the generals will not get drunk and will not return! Liu Bei was very excited and high-spirited, but he seemed to be a little floating.

But Zhao Yun was always cautious: "Fu Jun, this is all caused by the fact that the captain of Guan Du broke the enemy's courage in the moon formation and beheaded the thief chieftain, Yun just chased the dead and chased the north, and he didn't dare to be rewarded with this generous reward, so he begged to reward the cavalry soldiers!" By the way, why don't you see Captain Guandu? ”

Liu Bei did not disobey him: "Quasi-Zilong invited!" Yun Chang also received the reward just now, and when he returned to the army, he gave his merits to the soldiers, let's go and have a look. ”

As he spoke, he took Zhao Yun's left hand and went to Guan Yu together.

As a result, I just walked to Guan Yu's camp, Liu

Bei saw a tall burning pillar erected inside the camp gate, which seemed to be a memorial to the soldiers who died in battle.

Guan Yu has always done a good job of sympathizing with the soldiers. Before there are military rewards to be distributed to everyone, we must first be grateful to the brothers who died in this battle, which is also an old habit developed in the army for three or four years.

The burning pillar is a kind of wooden pillar used to replace the tombstone on the tomb of the poor in the Han Dynasty, because most of the poor people in this era are illiterate, and even have no name, so they don't know what to write about the tombstone

Even in the 20th century, this custom still existed on a small scale in the Dutch countryside, and the magistrates in the rural areas of the Central Plains may have seen it.

Many of the soldiers did not have names, and there were too many dead to carve monuments, so Guan Yu developed the habit of setting up a burning pillar after every battle, pouring wine and offering a few words to boost morale, and then offering the meat rewarded by the superiors first, and then giving food to the living soldiers after the sacrifice.

Liu Bei knew Guan Yu's habits, so when he approached from behind, he gestured left and right not to report, and he also followed him and stood in silence for a while.

Liu Bei's wrist that catches the hearts of the people is definitely above Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

It's just that Guan Yu only envelops the bottom, Zhang Fei only envelops the scholars, and Liu Bei kills the rich and the poor.

I saw Guan Yu pick up a bowl of water and wine, sprinkle it on the ground in front of the burning pillar, and recite words in his mouth, counting the exploits of several officers who died today.

After Liu Bei and Zhao Yun heard this, they were also slightly stunned, because in today's bloody battle, a total of one Qu Junhou and three tun commanders died, and as for the team rate and even the chief, more than a dozen died.

But as soon as Guan Yu spoke, the first person to show credit was actually a tun chief named Fu Shiren, not the Qu Junhou with the highest military rank and the most enemies.

Liu Bei was curious, so he listened to Guan Yu talk about the reason.

I only heard Guan Yu tell the rest of the officers present a big truth, mainly emphasizing the importance of orders and prohibitions, saying that if you are not allowed to attack, you are not allowed to attack, and you must hold back the fire and fight again if you get closer!

That Qu Junhou, although the number of enemies killed today was the largest among the officers killed in today's battle, but he didn't hold his breath too calmly at first, which led to the confusion of the formation, so he couldn't be the first sacrifice.

Although Fu Shiren did not kill a single enemy, he was shot alive in the process of strictly enforcing military orders and letting him only be beaten and not fight back, so he deserves the highest reward for "strictly abiding by military discipline".

Then, Guan Yu took out five catties of the fifty catties of gold that Liu Bei had given to the Danyang camp for today's battle, accounting for one-tenth of the total bounty, and gave Fu Shiren's widow and orphans as a pension.

The whole army accepted this decision with solemnity and had no objections. Suddenly, the 2,000 Danyang soldiers under Guan Yu had a much higher understanding of the importance of "military discipline".

It turns out that fighting under the account of Guan Duwei, even if you can't kill people, but are shot to death by the enemy in vain, as long as you are strictly implementing military orders and military discipline, you can still get the first merit and a big reward!

"Yun Chang governs the army, and there is the wind of Wu Qi. There is the righteousness of sucking carbuncles for the soldiers and soldiers, and there is the strictness of military discipline. Liu Bei didn't speak out in praise until this moment.

When Guan Yu heard this, he hurriedly turned around and arched his hand: "Big brother, when did you come?" ”

Liu Bei smiled and stroked his shoulder: "I told Zilong just now, I want to treat the soldiers today, come and see, Yun Chang governs the army like this, I don't have to worry about it." ”

"The eldest brother has won the award, it's all within the scope of the matter." Guan Yu's expression was self-conscious, but his words still had to be modest, not that he and his brother-in-law were still hypocritical, but that he was used to it.

Proud and embarrassed to be proud, Guan Yu's old problem is old.

Guan Yu also realized that he was pretending to be a little bit, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Big brother, after the king of Nanqiao confers the head, can you find a way to persuade Yan Rou to surrender with a trick?" Now that the ratio of enemy and our forces has changed abruptly, I am afraid it will take longer to break the enemy by means of besieging and consuming food.

The number of enemy troops is reduced by half, and the amount of time that the city can eat will be doubled, which is not conducive to long-term consumption. Either you can use tactics to surrender, or you can only attack. I don't know how Boya and Zijing planned? ”

Liu Bei pondered: "I haven't discussed it with Boya yet, but I just told Zijing about adjusting the military tun." If you want to attack, you can't rely on these forces now. The captives had to be reorganized, and then the best ones were selected from the Tuntian homeless people, distributed to the captured weapons, and a little training was given before the attack could be considered. ”

Guan Yu thought for a while: "I think, it's better to first explore where the enemy army has more grain and grass in the two cities of Tuhe and Changli, and then surround the cities with more grain and prepare to storm them, but leave a way to escape, so that when the enemy army is in a hurry, they can abandon the city and flee to another city to join forces."

As a result, when the enemy army broke and fled, they naturally had to flee lightly, and could not take the food stored in the city with them. Our army has more food in the two cities, and the savings of one city are more convenient, and it is more convenient to besiege the remaining city. If the enemy army is unwilling to abandon the city with more food, it will inevitably send reinforcements from the city with less food, just to besiege the city and fight the enemy army in the city with little food. ”

Liu Bei showed a slight look of approval: "This strategy is serious, no matter how the enemy responds, it will not be harmful, you can prepare first, and discuss it with Bo Yazi Jingjun tomorrow." ”
