Chapter 247: Pacifying Yuzhang County
Sun Ben and Li Shu and the people under their command, as well as the soldiers under their command and the brave people of Nanchang City, were shocked after seeing the handsome banner that belonged to Yuan Yao and the banner of the pro-guard army, they all felt shocked, they didn't expect that the coming army turned out to be the most elite pro-guard army under Yuan Yao's command, Yuan Yao would always stay with his pro-guard army when he was fighting, and now it seems that Yuan Yao should also come to Nanchang!
Since Yuan Yao led the army alone, he has been invincible and invincible, how can he be the opponent of Yuan Yao's personal guard army with only his own defeated army, it seems that this battle should be a battle between the snipe and the clam for the benefit of the fisherman, and Wuchang City is about to change hands!!
Just when the soldiers and horses of Li Shusuo's troops were already stunned by the Nanchang defenders, I saw that the personal guard cavalry suddenly divided an iron cavalry and went straight to the Nanchang City Gate!
When Li Shu's army was defeated and the soldiers and horses in the city pursued, the defenders of Nanchang were all rushed to the front, at this time there was already a distance from the city gate, and most of the defeated troops of Li Shu were strangled at the city gate.
However, these young and strong villagers are not fools, they also know that the victory is decided at this time, and no one can stop Yuan Yao's army from capturing Nanchang City, the reason why they will assist the defenders to defend the city before is because Li Shusuo's soldiers and horses threatened to slaughter the city to vent their anger!
Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses have always had a good reputation, not only did they not do anything about slaughtering the city and plundering the people, but Yuan Yao's army has always abided by military discipline and will not disturb the people, plus Yuan Yao has always implemented benevolent government, and the people under his command are living relatively well, so the people of Nanchang are not opposed to accepting Yuan Yao's rule.
When the iron cavalry of the pro-guard army swept in, these young and strong villagers all got out of the way, and a thousand iron cavalry rushed into Nanchang City without encountering the slightest opponent, controlling the city gate and part of the city wall of Nanchang City!
Yang Zaixing also did not think that there was still combat power in Nanchang City to prevent a thousand iron cavalry under his command from snatching the city, after he sent troops and horses to rob the city, he did not care about the situation there, Yang Zaixing carried a spear and led his iron cavalry to rush straight into the army formation of Li Shu's defeated army, a thousand heavy armored iron cavalry in front, three thousand light cavalry behind, Li Shu's defeated army had no way to stop the momentum of the iron cavalry of the pro-guard army, and the entire army formation was shredded by the pro-guard army like a piece of paper, leaving only the corpse and blood in one place.
Yang Zaixing led the iron cavalry under his command and soon killed the place where Li Shu and Sun Ben's two light cavalry were fighting, they had already lost their horse speed after a long battle, and at this time they were caught off guard, it was difficult to avoid the momentum of the pro-guard army, Yang Zaixing and four thousand pro-guard cavalry swept by, Sun Ben, who was tired of fighting for a long time, was stabbed to death by Yang Zaixing, Li Shu and Liu's Zongshuai were knocked to the ground by the heavily armored iron cavalry, and the rest of the light cavalry were also killed by the pro-guard cavalry and fell to the ground.
After Yang Zaixing's iron cavalry swept across the battlefield, Li Shu's defeated army and Sun Ben and his three hundred iron cavalry were trampled into pulp by the army, and the remaining remnants of the battlefield and the brave people in the city saw this scene, and they all laid down their weapons and fell to the ground, shouting for surrender!
After Yang Zaixing stepped into the battle once, seeing that he had completed the task assigned by Yuan Yao, and he didn't have the heart to embarrass these soldiers who had laid down their weapons, Yang Zaixing gave an order, and the four thousand iron horsemen scattered one after another, surrounding the entire battlefield.
By the time Yuan Yao arrived with the infantry armor, the entire battlefield had been swept away by Yang Zaixing, and Su Fei had already led some soldiers and horses to come over to report the battle situation to Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao ordered Yang Zaixing to lead a thousand heavy armored iron cavalry to protect him, and let Su Fei lead the rest of the battlefield to clean up the battlefield and collect the ordnance, and release it to the people holding farm tools, kitchen knives and other tools, as for the private soldiers and servants of the big clans in the city, he was left behind as pawns, and he could also take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the big clans in the city.
Yuan Yao spent three days rectifying the defense of Nanchang City, and then ordered Yang Zaixing to lead 4,000 light cavalry and 3,000 foot armor to attack the rest of Yuzhang County.
Most of the defenders in the counties of Yuzhang County have been included in Nanchang City by Sun Ben, and Yang Zaixing led 7,000 soldiers and horses to sweep all the way, and the counties of Yuzhang County were simply unable to stop or unwilling to stop the offensive of Yang Zaixing's army.
The previous Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin did more good governance in Yuzhang County, and the people of Yuzhang County admired and trusted Huaxin very much, Sun Ce seized Yuzhang County in the hands of Huaxin, and he was not trusted by the people of Yuzhang County, plus Yuzhang County was only conquered by Sun Ce for more than half a year, and the people of Yuzhang County have not received any benefits from Sun Ce, and they have no loyalty to Sun Ce at all.
Now that Sun Ce is dead, Sun Ce's brother Sun Quan and Sun Ce's son Sun Shao have already spread to all counties of Yuzhang County, and the news of the continuous defeat of Jiangdong soldiers and horses has also come, and the reputation of Yuan Yao's army for winning a hundred battles has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After the soldiers and civilians of Yuzhang County saw the banner of Yuan Yao's personal guards, most of the capital Kaicheng surrendered, Yang Zaixing led 7,000 soldiers and horses basically on the march, and a county town would be recovered in two or three days.
Yang Zaixing has already received Yuan Yao's order, as long as the counties open the city and surrender, he can not move the officials of the counties and still let them settle down, Yuan Yao also has no other way, now that the war is imminent, it is impossible for him to slowly deal with the situation in the counties, as long as he takes the nominal sovereignty first, as for the rest of the problems, he can only wait for the end of this battle and then slowly do it.
A month later, Yang Zaixing finally finished 'inspecting' the counties of Yuzhang County, and led his soldiers and horses back to Nanchang City.
In this month's time, Yuan Yao has not been idle, and has been preparing how Yuzhang County should guard against Jingzhou after he led the army to leave Yuzhang County.
Yuan Yao ordered Su Fei to transfer 7,000 soldiers in Chaisang City, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command were disorganized and reorganized together, the city of Nanchang was strong, coupled with the containment of Baling Wei Yan's department, it was impossible for Changsha Liu Pan to organize many soldiers and horses to attack Yuzhang County, and with 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Nanchang, Yuzhang County would be as stable as Mount Tai!
These 7,000 soldiers are the elite of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's subordinates, these soldiers are not weak in battle, but they unfortunately met Yue Fei and Gan Ning, after a month of reorganization, these 10,000 soldiers and horses have basically taken shape, and initially have some combat power, Yuan Yao can finally raise troops again!
