At a distance of two hundred miles, the Han army walked for six days before arriving.

Turning to look at the side of Yanxian County, even if the news was not conveyed smoothly, Duotong also knew that the news of the Han army's departure had been five days.

Five days is a time for any qualified general, and he will be fully prepared.

Even in the case of absolute superiority, you should be fully prepared as the defender, but you don't care about it at all.

The only thing he did was to get all the more than 30,000 troops to be stationed outside the city.

The most elite army of Yelang Country should be the palace guards of Duotong, this army has a thousand people, and the equipment is not as good as the armor of the Han Dynasty, but it is also considered to be excellent.

Everyone was dressed in rattan armor, and their weapons were all made of iron, and their combat effectiveness was even a little stronger than that of the Praetorian Guards of South Vietnam.

Originally, good steel should have been used on the blade, but he didn't expect Duotong to arrange this army around his palace.

I was afraid that when the Yelang army was fighting with the Han army, some ill-intentioned people in the city would enter the palace and steal his treasure.

After Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng arrived outside the city of Yanxian County, they saw the loose military formation in front of them, looked at each other and laughed.

"General Tang, this is our opponent?"

Speaking of which, Sima Xiangru was the first time to set foot in the Yelang realm, and he originally thought that no matter how bad the Yelang Army was, it was also a branch of Baiyue, and it was not far off.

But when I saw that most of these troops in front of me were holding farm tools, I felt a little nondescript in my heart.

"Haha, we strictly prohibit the sale of weapons and ores to the outside world, although there are some big businessmen in Bashu, they don't dare to make this money.

Many of the weapons in this army were bought farm tools and then forged, which was much less powerful than ordinary iron weapons.

They couldn't even get their weapons together, so naturally they didn't have armor to wear. ”

There were also 8,000 slave troops in Sima Xiangru's people, and these slave armies were composed of merchants, craftsmen, sons-in-law, and some slaves.

Naturally, these armies didn't have any armor to wear, but they were all equipped with weapons.

"It's really boring, I thought I would be able to ride a horse, but now it seems that it is better to forget it.

The battle was handed over to General Tang, and the battle was over in half a day. ”

"The last will obey."

As he spoke, Tang Meng put away his smiling face, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and gave orders.

"The whole army will attack, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who dare to resist will not be killed!!"

The 8,000 slave army rushed forward like crazy, and the 3,000 armor soldiers lined up the army and slowly advanced step by step.

At this moment, the eight thousand slave army of the Great Han are all crazy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

According to the algorithm of the military merits of the Han Dynasty, the slave army cannot enjoy military merits.

But as long as they kill three enemy soldiers, they can get out of the status of slaves, and they can refuse to be recruited by the imperial court in the future.

You can also choose to join the regular army, once you join the regular army, it will be your own credit to kill the enemy in the future.

It is also the best way for merchants, artisans, and those with low status to ascend.

Just like the college entrance examination in later generations, although there are various problems, it is already the only fair way to rise.

Although the educational resources of the college entrance examination are different, it still gives the poor a chance to take the exam.

It's the same in this war, although the slave army has no protection measures, and it is not as well equipped as the regular army, but everyone is gambling on their lives, and who can be better than whom.

Duotong saw the surging Han army, even if he was a little disdainful in his heart, his brows still wrinkled.

But when he looked back at the more than 30,000 troops behind him, his heart was calm.

I'm so much more than you, and you still want to win?

In the past, the wars between the various tribes of Southwest Yi were more than people, and Duotong did not take the 10,000 Han army in his eyes.

He smiled contemptuously, then shouted too.

"Sons, kill all these Han people for me!!

After killing all of them, I will take you to the territory of the Han Kingdom, kill all the men of the Han Kingdom, rob all the women of the Han Kingdom, and then all the wealth of the Han Kingdom will be ours! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The Yelang army roared a few times in excitement and rushed out.

The two armies soon collided together, and there was no clue at first.

Because of the numerical superiority, Yelang's army quickly surrounded the Han army.

Duotong watched from behind, and his performance in the face of the Han army changed from disdain to contempt.

It was a shame that he was nervous for a while before the war.

After about half an hour, the difference in the weapons between the two sides gradually began to show.

Many people in Yelang's army are holding farm tools, and those hoes or something, if they can't be directly smashed on the heads of the Han soldiers, they won't pose much of a threat at all.

On the other hand, these 8,000 slave troops, because of their superiority in weapons, as long as they cut or stab the Yelang soldiers, not to mention the killing of the Yelang soldiers, they can also greatly abolish the combat effectiveness of the Yelang soldiers.

It seems that the total number of people on both sides is more than 40,000 people, and because of the terrain, there are only more than 10,000 people who can collide and come into contact with each other.

Because the Yelang army was in a semi-encircled situation, and the Han army's 8,000 slave army was like a sharp knife, regardless of the left and right, they just rushed forward.

No matter how tough the bag of the Yelang army is, it can't resist the stabbing of a knife inside.

An hour later, the Han army had already broken through the encirclement of Yelang's army, and most of them stared at each other, at this time, no matter how dull they were, they knew that something was wrong.

"Why is the Han army so powerful, this is just their slave army, and the three thousand Han troops behind them have not been dispatched."

Duotong's expression was a little sluggish, and he muttered.

"King, hurry up and order to withdraw to the city of Juxian County, so that we may still have the strength to fight by relying on the streets and those houses."

On the one hand, the minister of the Yelang country persuaded Duotong.

When Duotong was determined to break away from the control of the Han Dynasty, he had already ordered himself to be the king, so his subordinates called him the king.

Duotong is not a fool, and knows that there is only one way to do it now except surrender.

"Give the order to withdraw the troops."

His tone was a little lost, but more resentful.

Soon, the herald on one side blew the horn in his hand.

"Woooooo

As the horn sounded, the Yelang army broke up directly, Tang Meng sneered after hearing it, he thought that the Yelang army would be able to hold on for a little longer.

"The order was given to the three thousand soldiers of Hanyang to attack, entangle the Yelang army, and force them to surrender."

The heralds on the side of the Han army not only beat the war drums, but also raised the banner.

The 3,000 army, which was originally only advancing slowly, directly launched a charge after receiving the order.

Not only can the cavalry charge, but the foot soldiers can also charge, although the speed is much slower, but the power carried is not weak at all.

Since Zhang Yuan implemented the way of being strong first in the army of the period, Liu Che was ruthless to let the army of the Han Dynasty be full every day.

The 3,000 Han army did not engage these Yelang armies as soon as they went up, but advanced from both sides.

You must know that the terrain of Juan County is a valley terrain, and the effect of going up to fight with those Yelang armies is really poor.

As long as they run faster than the Yelang army and directly block the valley mouth, then these people will become the turtles in the urn, and these Yelang troops who are blocked outside will only have one result left, either surrender or die.

The result was obvious, Duotong saw thousands of Han troops who didn't care about anything, and flew in his direction, and most of his soul was frightened.

Regardless of his tens of thousands of Yelang troops in front of him, he fled directly into the city.

In the end, only more than 1,000 people of the 30,000 Yelang army fled back to the county seat, and the rest were all blocked outside the valley.

Duotong ran away, and the Yelang army naturally would not continue to resist, and the 10,000 Han army surrounded the remaining 20,000 Yelang army.

The rest of the 10,000 Yelang army had all died in the battle just now.

Tang Meng rode a war horse more than one meter high, walked towards the Yelang army with his head held high, and looked at these Yelang people with contempt.

"Many of you may have seen me at one time or another, and now Yelang Hou Duotong has launched a rebellion, driving you to launch an immoral battle against the Han army.

This is the villain's doing, do you still want to insist on being loyal to Yelang Hou Duotong now? ”

The marquis of Duotong was not deprived by Liu Che, so Tang Meng still called Duotong the Marquis of Yelang.

Tang Meng thought that he had said something that could move the Yelang army, and then they should surrender directly, but the Yelang army didn't understand what Tang Meng said at all.

One by one, they froze in place, not knowing what to do, but they clenched the weapons in their hands.

Now the Han army has not launched an attack, and once the Han army pushes one more step forward, maybe the fighting will continue.

"You don't understand people?

Put down the weapons in your hands for Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will kill all of you barbarians! ”

Tang Meng felt that he couldn't get over his face, and suddenly shouted at the army of 20,000 Yelang.

As a result, no one paid attention to Tang Meng's peaceful speech just now, and now the fire started, and soon someone put down his weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Lao Tzu gives you time for a cup of tea, lay down your weapons and kneel on the ground, or you will all die.

He's Nana's! ”

Tang Meng shouted a few more words, and the speed at which Yelang's army knelt was much faster.

It is like a pebble falling into the middle of a calm lake, setting off ripples.

As soon as one of them knelt, the soldiers beside that person quickly laid down their weapons and knelt down.

In just half a cup of tea, the army of 20,000 Yelang surrendered.

It's not that they are disloyal to Duotong, but that Duotong is not in front of them now, and the Yelang people value ghosts and gods more than the Han people.

In their minds, Duotong is equivalent to the spokesman of ghosts and gods, and if God wants them to die, they must be willing to die.

But if God has no will to communicate it now, who would choose to die?

Seeing that Yelang's army had surrendered, Sima Xiangru only appeared by Tang Meng's side at this time.

"General Tang, leave the slave army to take care of these Yelang troops, and you and I will take three thousand Hanyang soldiers to Yanxian County to see what this Yelang Hou Duotong wants to do."

"Whoa."

In the mood to resolve the turmoil in Yiyelang in the southwest as soon as possible, Sima Xiangru didn't want to waste any more time.

The 3,000 army lined up and marched towards the city of Juxian step by step.

The people in the city are basically only the old and young women and children, and the middle-aged men in their families are basically outside the valley.

These 3,000 Han regular troops did not participate in the fighting, so they were still quite clean.

The people of Yelang in the city were now in a state of danger to everyone, and seeing such an army appear in front of them through the window instantly shattered their earlier pride.

After Duotong fled to the city, he hid directly in the palace.

There are also 1,000 rattan armor soldiers defending the palace, and these people are the only remaining troops of Duotong.

Those who fled back to the city earlier had weapons in their hands and lost them directly, and they were ordinary people, so they simply fled back to their homes to hide.

"What about the king, should we surrender?"

The courtiers around Duotong trembled and asked, if they surrendered, maybe they would be able to escape.

But Duotong had already seen through what the ministers were thinking, because Sima Xiangru did not persuade him to surrender earlier, but directly launched a war, which made Duotong mistakenly think that the Han would not let him go.

"Let's see, it's not like we're not without a fight.

These palace guards of mine are all elite soldiers, not those who can be compared with the old, weak, sick and disabled before.

Maybe I can use the terrain of the palace to fight the Han army, and besides, I have already united with other tribes, and I may be able to wait for reinforcements after a little more time. ”

Duotong still wanted to hold on for a while, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible to win, and there could be no reinforcements.

Now I say this just to stabilize the emotions of the people below.

"King, the Han army has arrived outside the palace, and the Han general led by him said that he wants to talk to you."

A palace guard ran to Duotong and knelt down on one knee to report the truth.

It turned out that Sima Xiangru felt that the goal of defeating Yelang's army had been achieved, and Liu Che had no intention of destroying the Yelang clan, and even preserved Duotong's title.

Since this is the case, Sima Xiangru does not want to continue to cause evil, if Duotong directly surrenders unconditionally, then his task will be completed.

"King, now that the Han army wants to talk to us, why don't we talk to them?"

The minister of the Yoro Kingdom asked tentatively.

Duotong rolled his eyes, and he made up his mind in his heart, even if the talk couldn't achieve any results, it could delay some time.

"Okay, since they want to talk, then we'll accompany you."

Saying that, Duotong put on his armor, which was also the only set of metal armor in Yelang Country, and he walked out of the palace with a spear, followed by the ministers of Yelang Country and a thousand palace guards.

It seems that the momentum is not weaker than that of the Han army, but everyone understands that these are superficial skills, and they can't scare Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng at all.

If it really starts, even if there are more than 5,000 of these palace guards, they will still be vulnerable.
