Chapter 1590: Lu Junyi surrenders

[Ding Dong, Li Jing kills Song Jiang, King of Liang, rewards force permanent +1, political permanent +1, charisma permanent +2, current five dimensions: commander 103, force 89 (+1), intelligence 98, political 88 (+1), charm 92 (+2); 】

"Repentance, repentance, repentance."

These are the last three words that Song Jiang said before he died, and it is not difficult to see how much he regrets it.

Looking at Song Jiang, who was not blind, a trace of regret flashed in Li Jing's eyes.

Song Jiang could have not died, if he led the Liangshan army to join the Qin army, with Qin Hao's favor to the surrendered princes, it may not be possible to be crowned king, but at least he can get the position of a prince.

It's a pity that Song Jiang was provoked by Wang Mang's ambitions, and at the right time, he made an extremely wrong decision, and ended up in a miserable death.

Seeing that Yin Shi Niang was watching the battle on the side, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Li Jing's face, although he successfully killed Song Jiang, but the process was much more difficult than expected, but his strength was obviously much stronger than Song Jiang.

Li Jing pretended to be active, and forcibly explained: "I haven't been in battle in person for too long, and I really feel a lot unfamiliar." ”

The meaning of the words is actually: It's not that Song Jiang's strength is strong, nor that my strength is weak, but that I didn't play well.

Yin Siniang covered her mouth and smiled, and did not debunk Li Jing, she decisively stepped forward to cut off Song Jiang's head, put it on her own fire-tipped spear, and shouted: "Song Jiang is dead, those who surrender will not be killed." ”

Li Jing was going to do this, but when he saw that his wife did it instead of him, he couldn't help but smile dryly: "Madam did the right thing." ”

Seeing this, the morale of the soldiers soared, and they also shouted: "Song Jiang is dead, and those who descend will not kill ......."

The soldiers of the Liangshan Army saw that Song Jiang and Gongsun Sheng were killed in battle, and Lu Zhishen was captured alive, and his morale suddenly fell to the bottom, and he could no longer have any heart to resist.

The defeat is like a mountain, and that's what it says, even if the Daluo Immortal is here, I'm afraid there is nothing to be done.

The vast majority of the Liangshan army surrendered directly to the ground, and a small number chose to flee for their lives, but under the encirclement of the Qin army's waterway and cavalry, the Liangshan army had nowhere to escape.

In the end, Song Jiang's 30,000 main forces of Liangshan killed more than 8,000 in battle, surrendered more than 21,000, and only a few hundred people fled and disappeared.

If you add the more than 2,000 Liangshan water troops captured before, the captured Liangshan prisoners of war are already as high as 23,000, while the total casualties paid by the Qin army are not even 1,000.

Li Jing rode the water army with 25,000 steps, against the main force of 30,000 Liangshan, and the 3,000 Liangshan water army, under the coordinated operation of the three armies of the infantry and cavalry, only paid a total of nearly 1,000 casualties, and almost completely annihilated the 33,000 army of Liangshan, which is definitely a perfect victory in the history of war, even if it is not a miracle.

After the war, Li Jing wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Liangshanbo, which had only 7,000 defenders left, but because it had been completely shocked, and Qin only had a total of 3,000 naval troops, it was really difficult to break through Shuibo Liangshan in a short period of time.

Li Jing also knew that it was difficult to break through Liangshan, but he still tried several methods, such as using Song Jiang's head to provoke the defenders in Liangshan, and giving the surrendered soldiers permission to disintegrate the interior of Liangshanbo, but as a result, they all failed.

Seeing that Wang Mang's army was about to arrive in Liang State, Li Jing had no extra time to make arrangements, and in desperation, he had no choice but to escort all the prisoners and booty, withdraw from Liang State, and return to Beihai for the time being.

Li Jing had just returned to Beihai when he received an astonishing piece of news.

"What do you say? Say it again? Li Jing asked very seriously.

"Zhu Tianpeng personally led an army of 70,000 to the north, and he was about to cross the Yellow River."

"What?"

Ran Min and other generals couldn't help but get up, after all, the Qi army and the Liangshan army are not the same concept, and the comprehensive quality of the Qi army is not lower than that of the Qin army.

The Qin army only has a total of 40,000 troops, and if it faces off against the 70,000 Qi army head-on, even if Li Jing personally commands it, the possibility of losing is very high, not to mention Wang Mang's 40,000 army.

Everyone, including Li Jing, thought that after eliminating the main force of Liangshan, the pressure on the Qin army would be much better, but they didn't expect the situation to become more severe.

70,000 Qi troops, 40,000 Northern Han troops, plus the remaining forces of Liangshan, a total of nearly 120,000 troops, it is still difficult to hold Beihai with only 40,000 Qin troops.

"Lord Taishou, didn't we capture the main force of 21,000 Liangshan? These people can make up for the lack of strength in our army. Tai Shi Ci said.

Li Jing glanced at Tai Shici and sighed: "General Ziyi, even if these prisoners of war are reorganized into an army, how much combat power do you think there is left?" ”

"This ......"

Tai Shici was speechless when he heard this.

The Liangshan army's combat strength was not strong in the first place, and now it has been abused by the Qin army, and I am afraid that even one-third of the original combat strength will not be enough.

If you really let these troops go to the battlefield and deal with the Qi army that can fight with the Qin army, it will be said that they will help at that time, and it will be good if they can not cause chaos to the Qin army.

"Lord Taishou, if you use Lu Junyi and other Liangshan generals to lead this Liangshan army, you should be able to increase the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army." Ran Min said in a deep voice.

Soon after the Battle of Yuncheng, Li Jing rescued Yan Qing, who had participated in the failed coup with Chao Gai but was secretly imprisoned by Lu Junyi, from a certain dungeon in Qi State.

Yan Qing didn't blame Lu Junyi after he got out of trouble, after all, Lu Junyi's imprisonment of him could be regarded as a kind of protection for realization, otherwise he would have been killed by Song Jiang a long time ago.

Under Yan Qing's persuasion, Lu Junyi finally let go, and was humiliated by Ran Min's prejudice, and willingly surrendered to the Qin army.

After Lu Junyi surrendered, he also helped to persuade other generals to surrender, and finally under Lu Junyi's persuasion, Hu Yanzhuo and Lu Zhishen also surrendered one after another.

Since then, there have been six generals in the Qin army: Chao Gai, Shi Jin, Lu Junyi, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, and Yan Qing.

"Letting the Liangshan generals lead the Liangshan army, it can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but how much can it be improved? At most, it can only reach 10,000 Qi troops. Qin Ming said.

All the generals nodded in agreement, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on the faces of Chao Gai and Shi Jin, they were all from Liangshan, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army was weak, so they naturally had no face.

Just when most people thought that Li Jing would refuse, Li Jing said: "But this is also a help after all, and it will still have some effect at the critical moment." ”

Li Jing originally didn't want to use the surrender army, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan surrender army was really weak, and if it was not handled well, it would be unhelpful.

If Li Jing just wanted to hold Beihai, he could naturally seek stability without surrendering troops, but now the war situation in Hebei is in a stalemate, and if he can break the deadlock in Qingzhou, it is very likely that he will be the first to pacify Hebei.

Li Jing is actually very envious of Bai Qi, who can command 500,000 elites and fight a great battle with Han Xin, and if he also wants to have this day, he will definitely not be able to accumulate meritorious deeds steadily.

The siege of Wang Mang, Zhu Tianpeng and several other forces this time is actually an opportunity for Li Jing, if he can defeat all these princes, and lead the Beihai Qin army to join the Hebei battlefield and become the last straw that crushes the camel of Beihai, the main general of the next Central Plains battle must be his.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Jing no longer had any hesitation, and immediately ordered: "Where are Chao Gai, Shi Jin, and Lu Junyi?" ”

"The end will be."

The three generals all stood up with some excitement, especially Lu Junyi, after all, he had just surrendered.

"The three of you are responsible for leading the Liangshan surrender army, you must appease the emotions of the surrendering army, so that the surrendering army can recover its combat strength as soon as possible."

"No."
