Cui Geng's partial division captured two cities in a row after leaving the Kei Pass, and on the frontal battlefield, Gao Shun led the battle of 20,000 Guanzhong troops to cross the river was also quite fierce.

After Yan Liang found out that Gao Shun was about to cross the river, he did not defend in Wen County, but took the soldiers and horses to take advantage of Gao Shun's unstable position to kill first, wanting to drive the soldiers who crossed the river back into the water.

In August, the river is strong, even if the Mengjin area is relatively gentle, but if you are driven into the river, the chance of survival is not too great.

It's just that the two thousand elite soldiers selected by Yan Liang attacked Gao Shun at the mouth of the river and landed first more than a thousand soldiers, originally in Yan Liang's opinion, this was a battle to win, but the bravery of the more than 1,000 soldiers was much more than Yan Liang expected, but saw that more than 1,000 soldiers did not form a formation to defend, but under the command of Gao Shun to form a charge, not to mention how brave, but a thousand people are like a huge meat grinder, Yan Liang personally led the two thousand elites, was killed by the other party, and was defeated by the other party.

Two thousand elites lost more than half of this battle, Yan Hao was not easy to take the rout army out of the encirclement, all the way to Wen County, but he did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, seeing Gao Shun methodically set up camp outside Wen County, the Guanzhong army slowly crossed the river, and it was difficult to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so he could only refuse to defend the city, and at the same time sent people to Yecheng to ask for help in the starry night, even if the defenders of Hanoi counted the county guards, it was only 20,000, in the face of such a fierce Guanzhong army, Yan Liang doubted his ability for the first time.

"That Gao Shun is so fierce?" Yan Liang looked at the Guanzhong army that was constantly gathering outside the city, with a sad face, how could the people under Chen Mo be so strange, that Yu Sheng shrank like a turtle, the defense was so strong that people couldn't speak, but now this Gao Shun is extremely fierce, and the soldiers under his command not only cooperate with the tacit understanding, but also fight bravely. In the northern land, only Ju Yi of the year can fight against it.

However, Ju Yi has died, and the first dead soldiers under his command have also been incorporated into various armies, either as junior generals or as elites, but even if they regroup, I am afraid that they will have long lost the momentum of Ju Yi's subordinates.

Sometimes the momentum of an army is closely related to the generals, that is, the same troops, led by different generals, will exert different powers.

Yan Liang is a little nostalgic for Ju Yi at the moment, although the man is a little more domineering and his martial arts are a little worse, but Ju Yi on the battlefield is really powerful, but now, it is useless to say anything, Yan Liang can only rely on himself now, he doesn't believe that the soldiers under Gao Shun are so brave, in that case, don't fight this battle.

Until the third day, the Guanzhong army crossed the Yellow River and gathered outside the city of Wenxian City, Chen Mo ordered Wang Biao and Ma Dai to be Gao Shun's deputy generals, and went out with Gao Shun.

"Wen County is a county of ten thousand households, the city wall is strong, that Yan Liang is a little brave, and he also knows the soldiers, if it is attacked, the damage will be huge." Gao Shun spread out the map, he has explored the environment around Wen County in the past two days, pointing downstream, the water is divided here, the waterway is a more complicated place in the north, but in terms of topography, it is not too distinctive, but there is no defect, Yan Liang has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, it is enough to defend the city, if you want to rely on a strong attack to break through, the damage will be extremely high, Gao Shun is naturally unwilling to touch hard at this time.

"I wonder what the general is planning?" Wang Biao bowed.

"To the east of the river, there is Li Cheng, if Yuan Shao's army comes to support, he will pass here, so he will ask General Wang to lead his headquarters to capture this city and guard against Yuan Shao's reinforcements." Gao Shun pointed to Li Cheng in the lower reaches of Wen County and looked at Wang Biaodao.

Under Chen Mo's command, there are a lot of generals who are good at guarding, Wang Biao is one of them, when Qi County guarded the palace, Wang Biao's first performance on the battlefield was quite eye-catching, and in the following years, Wang Biao held important positions in various armies, and his combat experience was also quite rich, so that Wang Biao was like a nail nailed to Li Cheng, which could make the Wen County defenders bear more pressure in their hearts, and second, they could also block the enemy who came to help.

"Whoa!" Wang Biao bowed down to receive the order.

Gao Shun took another general order, looked at Ma Dai and said: "General Ma has been in Xiliang for a long time, and he is familiar with the art of cavalry warfare, so he can lead the cavalry in the army to attack and harass the enemy, cut off his grain route, and make the counties unable to rush to the aid of Wen County!" ”

"Whoa!" Ma Dai bowed down to receive the order, said goodbye and left.

All military affairs were handled properly, and Gao Shun ordered the scouts to scatter around Wen County to find out the movements of Wen County, and his forces were not enough to besiege Wen County, but he had the ability to trap Wen County, and then slowly try to figure it out.

Yan Liang organized the soldiers and civilians in the city to carry the baggage overnight, repair the city, and prepare to defend Wen County, but Gao Shun did not come to attack for a long time, Yan Liang was surprised, and ordered people to go out of the city to investigate, only to know that Gao Shun had sent troops to harass his rear and cut off his own grain route, and at the same time, a large number of scouts were also monitored around the city, and every move could not escape Gao Shun's ears and eyes.

"General, if the grain road is cut off, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the city will not be able to last for a long time!" A partial general looked at Yan Liang and frowned.

Gao Shun is preparing to fight with him or force Yan Liang to go out of the city to fight, and Wen County's grain storage is obviously difficult to support for too long.

The reason, Yan Liang naturally knows it, but the cavalry at his hand is not as much as Gao Shun, and the number of troops is inferior to that of the army, if he goes out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Gao Shun at this moment, he will lose more and win less, and it is good to win, but if he loses, it will be difficult for Hanoi to stop the large-scale invasion of the Guanzhong army.

"Wait for help, the lord will soon get the news, as long as the lord's reinforcements come, when the time comes, the internal and external attacks, why worry about that Gao Shun will not break?" Yan Liang made up his mind to go down with Gao Shun and wait for Yuan Shao's reinforcements to come to support.

Just in this way, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to give up all the dangerous places, you know, Yan Liang has to defend not only Wen County, but the entire Hanoi, now Yan Liang led the main force to be besieged here by Gao Shun, the rest of Hanoi is naturally difficult to take into account, Jiang Qi was also defeated by Cui Geng at this time, led the remnants to flee to Wen County, originally wanted to meet Yan Liang and discuss countermeasures, but he was running into Ma Dai, who was ordered to cut off the back road of Wen County.

Thirty miles northwest of Wenxian County, on the bank of the water, when he saw the oncoming cavalry scouts, Jiang Qi felt bad and immediately ordered the army to assemble in formation.

On the other side, after Ma Dai found Yuan Shaojun here, he immediately waved his army and rushed over, and saw a group of hundreds of people lined up on the riverbank!

Ma Dai's eyes flashed with excitement, this was his first official battle under Chen Mo's command, and his opponent was still the recognized first prince today, although it was only a remnant army, Ma Dai would not let go of any opportunity to make meritorious contributions, the blood in his bones seemed to be boiling, he raised the spear in his hand high, and shouted: "Gather!" ”

More than 1,000 cavalry quickly gathered into a huge cavalry formation, and the momentum of more than 1,000 cavalry gradually gathered together, crushing towards Jiang Qi and his remnants like a towering mountain.

The remnants of the army, who were already sleepy and tired of horses, saw such an imposing cavalry formation, and before the battle began, the momentum was already a little weaker, and the sound of gasping cold air continued to sound in the military formation, and with the spear raised by Ma Dai high, the huge cavalry formation began to move forward slowly, not fast, but constantly climbing.

Even if Jiang Qi knew that there was a river behind him, and it was impossible for the other party to really rush up, but when the famous knight rode his horse and began to gallop, his heart was still frightened, and the invisible sense of oppression made him feel like he wanted to retreat.

If he was still like this, the remnants of the army behind him were naturally even more unbearable, and the formation began to become chaotic.

"Puff~"

Some people fell into the water, screaming and flowing downstream along the river, there are not many soldiers in the north who can swim, most of them are landlubbers, falling in the water, in addition to making a large number of splashes, it can not alleviate their current embarrassing situation, but make the soldiers on the case more confused.

"Kill!"

Jiang Qi knew that if he continued like this, he was afraid that his remnants of the army would collapse completely before the battle, and he had to do something, as a soldier, even if he died, he would die on the battlefield, rather than being driven into the river by the enemy to drown his livestock, so he mustered up his courage and killed the enemy on the opposite side first, although this is very stupid tactically, infantry against cavalry, must be in a strict formation to resist the impact of cavalry, Jiang Qi, as a famous general in Jizhou, naturally cannot not understand this truth, but he has no choice.

The morale of the soldiers behind him has fallen to the bottom, and he has to do something to arouse the last fighting spirit of the soldiers.

It's a pity that there is not much point in doing this, there are not many soldiers who rush out with Jiang Qi, only a few dozen people follow Jiang Qi and face the vast cavalry formation.

Ma Dai's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, even if it was an enemy, but he also had to admire the courage and courage of the other party, this was a respectable enemy, the spear in his hand gradually lowered, Ma Dai rushed to the front, facing the direction of Jiang Qi, and the two disproportionate centaurs quickly handed over together.

"Puff~"

This kind of hedging, too fancy martial arts is meaningless, Ma Dai's spear was struck away by Jiang Qi's sword, but Ma Dai did not look back, and the surging cavalry formation quickly annihilated Jiang Qi.

The beginning of the battle also represents the end, Ma Dai slowly stopped the war horse in front of the cavalry formation on the shore, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

"When Chang~" "When Chang~" "When Chang~"

The soldiers who had already lost their fighting spirit did not hesitate too much, and after seeing the death of the main general, they threw down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Ma Dai asked people to arrange for these troops to be sent to the Gaoshun camp, and he took the men and horses to find Jiang Qi's corpse, the corpses of the dozens of people had already been trampled by the horse's hooves in the army, and they could only identify the identity of the other party through their armor.

Ma Dai picked up the mutilated war knife from the ground, sighed, turned his head and ordered, "Take these ...... Let's find a place to bury it. ”

"Whoa!"

is not a generation of famous generals, but he is also worthy of the title of general, he is also a soldier, Ma Dai doesn't want a general like Jiang Qi to be exposed to the wilderness after his death, this is also the only thing that can be done for the other party as an enemy......
