Chapter 37: Long Xiangjun

What, the general was actually killed?

Ma Dan, the general was killed, so what he promised just now is okay!

The soldiers of the Lei Bo Army saw that Lei Bo, who was still in high spirits just now, was directly killed by a knife, his head fell to the ground, and his psychological process was extremely complicated, and he also woke up from the crazy state that was stimulated by the promise of 'Dasuo Three Days' just now.

The soldiers immediately stopped their impact and began to hesitate.

However, Yuan Yaojun didn't give them time to hesitate, and rushed up in an instant, venting the suppressed anger that he had suppressed when he was being pursued just now on their heads.

"The general is dead, the enemy can't resist the ferocity, run!"

The hesitant soldiers of the Lei Yao army did not have the slightest resistance in the face of the high morale of Yuan Yao's army, who was fighting desperately, and all the soldiers fled after a little resistance.

Chen Lan led the army to follow behind Lei Bo, and was facing the attack of Yang Zaixing's ambush troops, Yang Zaixing led three hundred heavily armored iron cavalry to attack the scattered military formation of Hou Lan's army, as if entering a no-man's land, the enemy soldiers fell like harvested straw one by one.

Wherever the heavy armor and iron cavalry point, the enemy army is looking!

The heavy armored iron cavalry had just collided with it, and the three thousand light cavalry that followed behind ploughed the chaotic Chen Lan's soldiers and horses again, and when the foot soldiers rushed over, these already miserable sergeants hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked to surrender!

Yang Zaixing had already identified Chen Lan's location, and led the heavy armored iron cavalry to disperse the enemy army and rushed straight towards Chen Lan, the enemy did not dare to stop it at all, and let Yang Zaixing gallop in the military formation!

Chen Lan looked at the soldiers in front of him who had collapsed, and his heart was extremely sad, and then he heard the news of the defeat of the army before Lei Bo's death, and his heart was even more desolate.

"Lei Bo mistook me! Lei Bo mistook me! Hahahaha......"

Chen Lan glanced at Yang Zaixing, who was about to rush to kill him, and shouted again: "After I die, you can surrender, I hope the general can treat these soldiers well!" ”

After Chen Lan finished shouting, he directly drew his sword and killed himself, the blade of the sword slashed through his throat, blood immediately gushed out, and Chen Lan and the long sword in his hand fell heavily to the ground.

"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"

When the officers and soldiers of Chen Lanjun saw Chen Lan killing herself, they all bowed to the ground and shouted for surrender, and the entire battlefield centered on this as if it was a wave across the battlefield......

"Lord, Lei Bo's head and Chen Lan's body are here, please check them!"

Yuan Yao glanced at the head and corpse on the ground, and said: "Chen Lan is still a man, bury his body thickly, and give Lei Bo's head to General Zhang Lao and let him bring it back to Shouchun to pay tribute to General Lu, and then order him to lead three thousand soldiers and horses with Lei Bo's head to persuade the defenders in Yinling City and Lei Bo's camp to surrender." ”

"No, the last general will go to give the order!"

The defenders of Yinling and the defenders of the Maqiuju camp asked to surrender after seeing Lei Bo's head, and after Yuan Yao's army cleaned up the battlefield, they directly entered the Maqiuju camp.

In the past few days, the army has either accelerated the march or fought one after another, and all the soldiers have been very tired, Yuan Yao ordered the soldiers to rest for the night, and only gathered everyone to discuss the matter the next morning.

"Shi Yuan, how many casualties and beheadings did my army have in this battle, and how many soldiers have been collected?"

"Back to my lord, our army suffered more than 1,500 casualties in this battle, including more than 400 sergeants from the dead battalion, and those who were slightly injured are not counted; More than 5,000 were beheaded, and more than 29,000 were collected and surrendered, including more than 8,000 elite and strong people captured by Lei Bo and the others. ”

When Yuan Yao heard this casualty figure, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, the death of the dead battalion was dead, this doesn't matter, but the Tiger Ben Army also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, which is nearly one-tenth of the proportion, I feel distressed!

But considering that he lost two battles first, it is understandable that there are so many dead and injured now.

Yuan Yao pondered for a moment and said: "It is impossible for my army to stay here for long, the Yinling garrison was wiped out before, and now it needs to be replenished quickly, so I will select three thousand elites from the eight thousand elites to serve as county soldiers, and as for the rest, they will all be sent back to their hometowns." Uncle, this matter will be handed over to you to do, and the counties of Yinling will also bother you to rectify here, and the money, food and materials captured in this battle will also be left for my uncle to rectify the place and appease the people. ”

Zhang Xun was originally the Taishou of Jiujiang County, and this task was also within his responsibility, "No, the minister received the order and set the lord to rectify the Yinling counties." ”

"The remaining more than 20,000 soldiers will be recruited from the dead battalion first, and each army will select elites from them to supplement the army, and Wei Yan will listen to the order!"

Wei Yan stepped forward and bowed: "The last general is here!" ”

Yuan Yao nodded to Wei Yan with a smile and said: "You first have the merit of deceitful defeat and lure the enemy, and then you have made great achievements in slashing Lei Bo when you return to the army, and this general will use this merit to order you to be the general of Longxiang, and you can select 10,000 elites from among the soldiers to form the Longxiang army!" ”

When Wei Yan heard that Yuan Yao had asked him to build a new army of soldiers and horses, he was immediately overjoyed, fell to the ground on one knee, and said: "The last general will live up to the trust of the lord, and the last general and the Long Xiang army will die for the lord!" ”

"Get up, do it, Ben will believe that you have this ability!"

Yuan Yao comforted Wei Yan for a few words, and continued: "Shiyuan, each army selects the remaining soldiers to bring back to Shouchun and hand them over to Mr. Ziyang, and let him arrange for these strong men to go to Tuntian." ”

"No, the minister is commanded!"

"Li Siye listens to orders!"

Li Siye stepped forward and bowed: "The end will be here!" ”

Yuan Yao praised loudly: "The Tiger Ben Army is invincible and has made great contributions, and has become an elite division, and if you have merit in training the army, you will be promoted to the Tiger Ben General with this merit, and continue to be in charge of the Tiger Ben Army!" ”

"No, the last general commanded, willing to become the sharpest knife in the hands of the lord, and cut off all the enemies in the world for the lord!"

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, tomorrow the army will return to Shouchun!"

"No!"

……

Yuan Yao's army rested for a day in the Maqiu Ju camp, and the next day after Zhang Xun finished selecting the county soldiers, he left the camp and went straight to Shouchun.

Yuan Yao did not enter the city after returning to Shouchun, but stationed in the camp with the soldiers of the army, Yuan Yao's army left his soldiers to replenish the grain, grass and ordnance, and then went straight to Lujiang County, ready to make the final break with Zhou Yu and the Jiangxia coalition army of the Liu family.

Wei Yanxin trained the Longxiang army, in order to let the Longxiang army form combat strength as soon as possible, Yuan Yao ordered Li Siye and Wei Yan to transfer 1,000 soldiers and horses, Wei Yan used 1,000 original tiger army elites as the backbone to train the army while marching, plus the rest of the soldiers and horses were selected from the elite of the soldiers, Wei Yan initially reorganized the Longxiang army within a few days, and barely had some combat effectiveness.

Yuan Yao led 500 heavily armored iron cavalry guards, Li Siye's 16,000 tiger army, Wei Yan's 10,000 Longxiang army and 3,000 dead soldiers' battalion of about 30,000 soldiers and horses, known as 50,000 troops, crossed Hefei and approached Shu County!
