Chapter 637: Xu Huang took the three cities by night
However, it is said that after the destruction of Yundu City, the main general of Yundu City led his troops to flee from the south gate, but in the end he was captured by the elite cavalry of the Tiger Wing Army led by Dian Wei and Zhang.
Seeing that the lord of Yundu City had become a prisoner, Zhang Dunsheng had a plan...... Let the general of Yundu City send people to Jingling City to ask for help, so as to induce Liu Xun of Jingling City to send troops to Yundu City to relieve the siege.
The chief general of Yundu City, who was begging for no chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, was begging for a chance to live, and after listening to Zhang's general order, he immediately did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly agreed.
Subsequently, the chief general of Yundu City handed over his official position token to his personal guards and ordered him to go to Jingling City for help.
Seeing the ...... The chief general of Yundu City turned out to be so cooperative, Dian Wei and Zhang were overjoyed. At the same time, Dian Wei also made a promise that if he could successfully induce Liu Xun to lead his troops to come, he would spare the general of Yundu City.
The messenger of Yundu City did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to Jingling City to ask for help. At the same time, Dian Wei left Gao Xiang and ordered him to guard Yundu City, and then, together with Zhang, Huang Xu, and Gan, he led his troops to the east bank of the Han River to set up an ambush, preparing to intercept and kill the reinforcements in the direction of Jingling from the middle of the road.
Besides, the messenger of Yundu City, after Pegasus left Yundu City, rushed all the way to Jingling City. More than three quarters of an hour later, Liu Xun of Jingling City learned that Yundu City was besieged by the Liangzhou army. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Liu Xun did not doubt him, but he did not dare to hesitate, and immediately led 5,000 troops to Yundu City to relieve the siege.
Liu Xun led his troops out of Jingling City, marched all the way, crossed the Han River, and came to the east bank of the Han River. Just as Liu Xun's troops were about to continue the march, they suddenly ...... One after another, the incessant screams resounded from all around him.
In the night, I don't know how many arrows flew in, just a moment's gap, the soldiers under his account were killed and wounded, and it was only at this time that Liu Xun completely reacted that he was in a plan.
Liu Xun was frightened and angry in his heart, but he could only withdraw his troops, he didn't want to die on the battlefield, he wanted to escape back to Jingling City.
It's Liu Xun's reinforcements...... When he was choosing to retreat and flee in a panic, the rain of arrows of the Liangzhou army stopped. Immediately afterwards, around the east bank of the Han River, there were bursts of horses' hooves, and the shouts of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army sounded.
Hearing the shouts of killing from the north, east, and south, knowing that the ambush of the Liangzhou army was killing in an instant, Liu Xun did not dare to fight, and immediately fled to the shore of the Han River. The main general was already frightened, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army naturally fled in a swarm.
At this time, Dian Wei led the elite cavalry of the Tiger Wing Legion and rushed from the east of the east bank of the Han River; Zhang, Huang Xu, and Gan, led the infantry of the Tiger Wing Legion, and killed the generals from the north and south of the east bank of the Han River.
The Jingzhou army has already become a defeated army with no combat power, how can it withstand such a sudden attack by the Liangzhou army. More than 11,000 people of the Tiger Wing Legion were like chopping melons and vegetables, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army.
When the three-way soldiers and horses of Dian Wei, Zhang, Huang Xu, and Gan broke up the defeated troops of the Jingzhou army and rushed to the shore of the Han River, they happened to bump into ...... Liu Xun is like a lost dog. Before Liu Xun could surrender, he was shot by Zhang and died under the horse.
Seeing that the main general died on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army, who had no leader, did not hesitate sporadically, and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with tears in their eyes.
Seeing this, Dian Wei immediately passed down the general's order and was defeated by the Jingzhou army. Subsequently, the soldiers of the Tiger Wing Legion began to clean and clean up the battlefield.
In this ambush battle, the soldiers of the Tiger Wing Legion suffered more than 100 casualties; More than 3,000 Jingzhou troops were beheaded, more than 1,000 Jingzhou army defeated soldiers were captured, and hundreds of Jingzhou army defeated soldiers were still missing.
After clearing the battlefield, Dian Wei left 2,000 soldiers for Gan, and ordered him to escort the prisoners of the Jingzhou army back to Yundu City.
Subsequently, Dian Wei, Zhang, and Huang Xu, with 9,000 cavalry, crossed the Han River in batches using the warships of the Jingzhou army.
When the army came to the city of Jingling, they saw ...... The gates of the city were wide open; The guards in the city have long since disappeared.
Want...... Those Jingzhou troops who were nowhere to be found broke and fled to Jingling City first, and told the ambush on the east bank of the Han River, which led to ...... The soldiers of Jingzhou in Jingling City had already fled when they heard the news.
Dian Wei, Zhang, and Huang Xu led their troops into Jingling City, divided their troops to guard the four gates in the city, and launched a carpet search in the city to ensure ...... There was no Jingzhou army left in the city.
Overnight, the Tiger Wing Legion first broke through Yundu City, and then broke through Jingling City, which can be described as a noble and fast soldier. With the fall of Jingling City, the Liangzhou army had a foothold on the west bank of the Han River, and it could enter Jiangling City, which threatened Nanjun, and retreat to protect Jiangxia County.
……
Besides, the 30,000 Flying Leopard Legion, after dispatching troops from Fuyang, Nanyang County, crossed the Yingshan Xingju Pass, Xu Huang, Pan Feng, and Zhang Yi led 15,000 people to go first; Ju Fu and Ma Jian led the rest of the soldiers to follow.
After more than three quarters of an hour's rapid march, Xu Huang's advance army entered the Pingchun territory in the north of Jiangxia County. Just as the Tiger Wing Legion captured Yundu City, the advance army of the Flying Leopard Legion also raided Pingchun City by night.
Subsequently, before dawn, Xu Huang used the seal letter of the guards of Pingchun City to successfully win the two cities of Huangyu County and the country.
At this point, among the four cities in the north of Jiangxia County, except for Xiyang City, which is still in the hands of Huang Zu, the remaining three cities have all fallen into the hands of the Liangzhou army. The first army of the southern expedition, the plan to besiege Xiling City from the north, was already close to success.
More than an hour later, Ju Fu and Ma Tan, with the remaining 15,000 soldiers, also rushed to the national city.
The generals of the Flying Leopard Legion gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"It won't be long before Huang Zu will find out...... The news that the three cities in the north of Jiangxia County were captured by our army. ”
Xu Huang looked around at everyone and asked happily, "What did you see...... Should our army capture Xiyang City as soon as possible, or should it ...... After Huang Zu sent reinforcements from Xiling City, he would first destroy the reinforcements of Xiling City, and then capture Xiling City? ”
Jufu thought about it for a while, and said loudly: "General Xu, the last general thinks ...... Our army should rush to capture Xiyang City before the reinforcements of Xiling City. At that time, our army can quickly move south and encircle Xiling City, so as to respond to our army's naval division in Yunmengze. ”
Hearing what Jufu said, everyone thought about it, and Pan Feng and Zhang Yi also agreed.
With a thoughtful look on his face, Ma Tan neither agreed nor objected.
Xu Huang also nodded, but did not make a decision immediately.
