The forward infantry and rear archers of the Allied army formation in Yangzhou were separated by a distance of 100 paces.

The infantry in the forward line of the enemy was already crushed by the fire of crossbow arrows.

The archers of the enemy's rear army, under the blow of the giant crossbow arrows, were already in a chaotic formation and were too busy to take care of themselves.

It's an opportunity to strike.

Zhang Liao's military order was issued as soon as it was issued.

Zhang Nan and Wang Shuang led the cavalry on the left flank, Zang Ba and Ma Xiu led the cavalry on the right flank, and the two iron cavalry followed the arc line, respectively attacking the enemy's right and left archer formations.

Just as the two iron horsemen were approaching the enemy's archer formation, the giant crossbow machine stopped firing crossbow arrows.

The enemy's archer formation, which was already in disarray, and had no cover from the infantry army, had no time to put a few arrows, and was broken into the formation by two iron cavalry.

Attacking an archer formation with cavalry is like a tiger entering a flock, and you can easily and wantonly kill the enemy.

Whether it is Liu Xuan, the commander of the Yangzhou Allied Army, or their main generals Yan Baihu, Wang Lang, Fei Zhan and others, there is no way to deal with it.

They could only watch as the soldiers under their command fell row after row, one by one, and died one after another, and could not do anything.

The cavalry on the left flank of the Liangzhou army entered from the archer formation on the right flank of the enemy, and then penetrated through the formation from its left flank; The cavalry on the right flank of the Liangzhou Army, after the breakthrough, came out from the left flank of the enemy.

By the time the two iron cavalry of the Liangzhou Army came out of the formation, the archer army of the allied army in Yangzhou was already in a mess, with stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood and cement all over the ground.

At this time, the infantry of the forward army of the Allied army in Yangzhou could survive under the impenetrable shooting of crossbow arrows.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, the defeat has been decided......

When the Liangzhou army rode away, Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and others fled into the city in a hurry, but all the defeated soldiers under their command were blocked outside the city gate.

Those soldiers of the allied army in Yangzhou, who had no time to flee into the city, could only scurry outside the city, scattering and fleeing, or running around the city wall.

The Liangzhou Army's two-way iron cavalry launched a surprise attack again, chasing and killing the enemy's stragglers and "fish that slipped through the net".

Two quarters of an hour later, those enemy troops who were forced to stay outside the city had already been chased and killed by the cavalry of the Liangzhou army, and there were few people who could escape.

The Liangzhou army did not attack the city either, but was busy cleaning up the battlefield.

Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others in the city, although they were full of hatred and anger, they did not have the courage to go out of the city to raid the Liangzhou army, so they could only look at it with hatred.

In this battle, the Liangzhou army not only killed several enemy generals in battle, but also killed more than 30,000 enemy soldiers with almost no casualties.

The Allied troops in Yangzhou were shaken, their morale was greatly reduced, and their fighting spirit was destroyed.

………………

Since the Liangzhou army returned to the camp, in the next three days, they did not come to attack the city again.

Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang, and Fei Zhan of Wanling City worked hard for two days.

On the third day, they got the news that 'the Liangzhou army was holding back water and building a dam above the water'.

When I first heard the news, Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang, Fei Zhan, and Zu Lang had not yet reacted.

Thanks to Yu Xuan's analysis, Liu Miao and his party realized the seriousness of the situation, which was related to their life and death.

Although Yu Chuan could guess the intentions of the Liangzhou army, he had no way to crack it.

During this period, Yu Tuo proposed to withdraw troops from Wanling City, but was rejected by everyone.

The reason given by everyone is very simple, the Liangzhou army has cavalry, and it is impossible to escape, so they can only defend Wanling City. Books.com

Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang worked hard for another two days, and they couldn't drag it out anymore. Because the embankment above the water is about to be built.

After some discussion, the Allied troops in Yangzhou decided to attack the soldiers of the Liangzhou army who were building the embankment at night.

It's night!

The Allied forces in Yangzhou were divided into two routes...... Yan Baihu, Yan He, Fei Zhan, and Pan Lin led 20,000 troops and marched from the east bank of Lingshui; Liu Xuan, Zu Lang, Zhang Ying, and Fan Neng led 20,000 troops and marched from the west bank of Lingshui.

On the road, the allied troops of Yangzhou walked quietly, and it took more than three quarters of an hour to slowly come to the place where the embankment above the Lingshui was located.

At this time, there were not many soldiers of the Liangzhou army on both sides of the embankment.

Liu Miao and Yan Baihu, who were ecstatic in their hearts, immediately passed down the order to attack.

But at this moment!

The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded!

The continuous screams suddenly burst into the array of Yangzhou allies on both sides of the water,

There is no need to think about it, Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu and others also know that they have fallen for the tricks of the Liangzhou army.

Under the shock, Liu Xuan and Yan Baihu, who were frightened and heartbroken, immediately took the lead in running away, and they couldn't care about the soldiers under their accounts.

At the right time!

The three rounds of arrows had already swept by, and the Liangzhou army cavalry, which had already been ambushed on both sides of the Lingshui, began to attack.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Nan, and Ma Xiushuai led 30,000 cavalry to chase and kill the allied forces in Yangzhou on the east bank of Lingshui.

Feng Xi, Zang Ba, Wang Shuang, and Huo Yi led 30,000 cavalry to launch an attack on the west bank of Lingshui.

In a panic, the allied troops in Yangzhou, whose formation was in chaos, fell into the water and died. There are not a few people who trample each other to death.

Because it was used at night, the Liangzhou army did not use cavalry to break through, but only pursued and drove the enemy's flank.

The infantry of the Liangzhou Army pursued and killed the allied soldiers in Yangzhou, and everywhere they passed, I don't know how many enemy soldiers died under their swords.

The Liangzhou Army's two-way foot cavalry pursued closely, chasing and killing all the way, and chased more than 20 miles.

Fei Zhan and Pan Lin, who couldn't escape, were instantly killed by Zhang Liao. Fan Neng died in the chaos, and Zhang Ying was beheaded by Huo Yi.

When the Liangzhou army chased the enemy all the way to Wanling City, Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Yan He, and Zu Lang happened to escape into the city.

Those soldiers of the allied army in Yangzhou, who did not have time to enter the city, were killed by the Liangzhou army and cavalry, and died in a river of blood.

The blood of the allied troops in Yangzhou stained the water red, and the road they escaped from was not an exaggeration to describe it as 'bleeding and drifting'!

After this night attack, the Liangzhou army wiped out nearly 40,000 of the allied forces in Yangzhou with almost no casualties.

In Wanling City, there were only 20,000 defeated soldiers left like frightened bows.

On the same night, the Liangzhou army set up a big village outside the north, west and south gates of Wanling City.

The Liangzhou Army's intention of 'encircling three and missing one' is obvious, and Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang can naturally see it.

But there was nothing they could do!

Knowing the enemy's intentions, the Yangzhou allies have no way to deal with it, which is an existence that is more desperate than despair.

On the second day, Liu Miao and his people received the news that 'Moling, Shicheng, and Danyang City were lost'.

With their lives hanging by a thread, the allied forces in Yangzhou planned to escape from the East Gate.
