Chapter 234: Conquering the Middle

Zhao Yun's war horse was stimulated and galloped up, only to see Zhao Yun quickly raise his gun with both hands and stab at Yang Ang. Yang Ang was desperately retreating in the direction of Shangyong at the moment, and he didn't expect Zhao Yun to chase after him at all!

Burst...... Only a sound was heard, and the spear pierced Yang Ang's back, and Zhao Yun immediately threw his hands to the side, and Yang Ang fell off the horse. Zhao Yun raised his gun again, and it was piercing Yang Ang's neck, and blood suddenly gushed out.

Pity Yang Ang, who was still ambitious a moment ago, died under Zhao Yun's gun like this. And the Hanzhong soldiers on the side were also stunned, they had long been accustomed to Yang Ren's bravery, but they didn't expect that there were such brave people in the enemy formation, and they would finish off the general in three clicks and two clicks!

At this time, Zhao Yun was killing hard, and a few soldiers who were close to him were unlucky, and there was a popping sound everywhere for a while. was so frightened that the Hanzhong soldiers almost did not dare to come closer.

Only then did Zhao Yun cut off Yang Ang's head, shook it at thousands of Hanzhong soldiers with a spear, and then turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The enemy general is dead, all the warriors give it to me, don't lose to them!" Saying that, Zhao Yun pointed his gun in the direction where Wei Yan, Yu Ban and the others were harvesting in the rear.

These people under Zhao Yun were originally elite soldiers, and they were chased by Hanzhong soldiers for a few miles, and they had already been suffocated, and when they saw Zhao Yun picking Yang Ang a few times, they were all boiling with blood, shouting and killing the enemy.

At this time, Wei Yan and Yu Ban also held their breath in their hearts, and spread all the depression in their hearts to the Hanzhong soldiers in front of them. As the vanguard of the front, they were robbed by Liuming on the first day of their arrival, and then after the arrival of the large army, Yang Ang went out of the city and destroyed several catapults, and now they finally found a chance to be disgraced.

As for these Hanzhong soldiers, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the two of them! And Wei Yan and Yu were also members of the front vanguard who had been aggrieved for half a month. They have the same idea as the two main generals, that is, they must not let one enemy escape!

The lord will be beheaded, and the enemy will be surrounded on all sides, and the number of people is several times that of the Hanzhong soldiers. Coupled with the vast fog, these Hanzhong soldiers had never arrived here, and they were very panicked in their hearts, and they had long been unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and only felt that there were enemies everywhere.

And Liu Cong also rushed to the scene of the battle from the resting place, looking at the gradually chaotic enemy army, Liu Cong was very proud and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, how many defenders do you say there are in Shangyong City at the moment?" ”

"No matter how much, it's not enough to be afraid!" Fa Zheng also answered very simply.

Although through the vast fog, he can still estimate a rough idea, and Zhao Yun has already reported before. Liu Cong and Fa Zheng also knew that Shangyong City was almost pouring out, and now they were surrounded on all sides, and when this battle was over, the Shangyong defenders would definitely not be Liu Cong's opponent. And the success of luring the enemy out of the city also proves Liu Cong's strategy, compared to these thousands of enemy troops, those catapults are not worth mentioning at all.

And Shangyong City is already in the bag, what else do you want to do with the catapult? This also proves Liu Cong's foresight.

And Yang Ren and Lu Liuming in Shangyong City were also not at ease, and constantly sent sentinels to inquire about the news, when they learned that Yang Angbu was surrounded by Jingzhou on all sides, Yang Ren fell to the ground: "It's over, it's all over, Shangyong is over...... Ming Mansion, Yang Ren's trust in you ......"

However, Lu Liuming was quite calm, from the moment Yang Ren led the troops to attack, he felt that something was wrong there, and now that the news came, everything made sense. Shangyong is not too far from Jingzhou, and there are often businessmen who come and go between the two places, and he has heard a little about some of Liu Cong's deeds.

Now it seems that everything is reasonable, otherwise how could he have succeeded in robbing the camp, Yang Ang has succeeded in destroying equipment twice out of the city? It turns out that all these are Jingzhou people who put a long line to catch big fish. The loss of Hanzhong this time is really big enough, but the impression of Liu Cong in Liuming's heart is that he is tall.

Shangyong broke the city in just a moment, Yang Ren came from Hanzhong, so he naturally had to escort him away, as for whether to continue to retreat to the county town behind or go back to Hanzhong directly, it was up to him to decide, and Lu Liuming did not plan to act with Yang Ren.

"General Yang is afraid that he won't be able to come back this time, general, you leave immediately, and I will send someone to escort the general!"

"Aren't you leaving?" Now in Yang Ren's eyes, Yang Ang is far inferior to the Shangyong County Commander Liuming, Liuming reminded him right, Yang Ang Zhongfu will definitely not be able to come out, and Shangyong will not be able to resist Liu Cong when there are only more than 1,000 defenders left. Run, and before it's too late! It's just that he hopes that Lu Liuming will follow him, first, Lu Liuming is a talent, and it is of great use to retreat in the rear, and secondly, Zhang Lu will blame him in the future, and there will be Xu Liuming to listen to his own testimony, but Yang Ang made his own opinion and did not listen to dissuasion......

"The general goes first, there are still a thousand people in the city, I will block it here for a few days, so that the general can organize resistance in the rear......"

"Okay, then take care!" Lu Liuming's idea is very much in line with Yang Ren's intentions, whether he retreats or returns directly to Hanzhong, someone must break off, otherwise President Liu Cong will drive straight in.

Lu Liuming volunteered to stick to Shangyong, and Yang Ren was not reluctant, and left Shangyong with his own soldiers.

And on the battlefield, it can be said to be described as miserable, one side is like six thousand headless flies scurrying around, and the other side is like a farmer waiting for half a year to harvest! The cries of killing continued to spread beyond the valley into the distance.

After the melee lasted for about an hour and a half, most of the Hanzhong soldiers had been killed and wounded, and the remaining Hanzhong soldiers all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy when they saw that they had nowhere to escape. Jingzhou and Hanzhong were in the first battle, and there was no deep-sea blood feud. So seeing that the situation was almost over, Liu Cong immediately ordered to accept the surrender of the Hanzhong soldiers.

It was the ambitious princes who were going to fight, these soldiers came from the lowest strata of society, and this army was more than half killed and wounded, and it had collapsed, so there was no need to continue the slaughter.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and collect weapons and equipment. An hour later, an army of 14,000 men continued to march towards Shangyong with 3,000 captives, while Huang Jian stayed behind to lead 3,000 soldiers and many medical officers to escort grain and grass into the rescue. After the battle, more than 2,000 Hanzhong soldiers were killed, and nearly 2,000 wounded, and the Jingzhou soldiers also paid more than 2,000 casualties.

Now the medical officer with the team is busy! Han Yi also truly saw the cruelty of war for the first time. Compared to her intercepting Liu Bei, the people killed in the ambush this time were relatively concentrated! So much so that when I saw the tragic scene after the war, I vomited wildly.

And when Wei Yan, Yu Ban and others arrived at Shangyong City again with their teams, Lu Liuming took the remaining more than 1,000 defenders to welcome them into the city outside the moat.

After a little hesitation, Wei Yan and Yu Ban led their troops into the city. Then he began to dispatch troops to various key points in Shangyong City.

Liu Cong also quickly got the news of Shangyong County's surrender, and I have to say that this is another victory, a victory for Zhang Lu's fame and charm. Lu Liuming was wise, and the moment Yang Ren hurriedly retreated, he made up his mind. Zhang Lu could not resist the joint attack of Liu Zhang and Liu Cong with a county of land. In troubled times, life is important.

Just as he himself couldn't stop Liu Cong's advance with more than a thousand county soldiers, although the arrival of Yang Ren and Yang Ang slowed down Liu Cong's pace of entering Shu, it turned out that neither the combat effectiveness of the Hanzhong soldiers nor the bravery and strategy of the generals were the opponents of Liu Cong in Jingzhou. If Lu Liuming retreated with Yang Ren, he could only be arranged to continue to organize resistance in the next county. In Lu Liuming's view, such resistance is meaningless.

After Liu Cong entered the city, he also summoned Liuming for the first time, and I have to say that Liuming's appearance is ordinary. But it was such an ordinary person that made Wei Yan and Yu Ban fall behind. Liu Cong was naturally very interested, so he chatted with Lu Liuming about the topography and defense of Shangyong City.

It turned out that Lu Liuming had been an official in Shangyong for nearly ten years, and he was originally from Yangzhou. When he first came to Shangyong, he also sighed at the topography of Shangyong. It is precisely because of the considerable understanding of the topography of Shangyong, coupled with the usual preventive measures in place, that Shangyong has good public security. The number of county soldiers also increased to 1,000, and the city walls and moats were also strengthened and widened year by year under the auspices of the Liuming.

It was precisely because of his confidence in the Shangyong fortifications and his understanding of the terrain that he dared to take the only 1,000 county soldiers to rob the camp at night, thus opening up the confrontation between the two sides.

It was also the success of the robbery camp that fueled Yang Ang's conceit. Thus leading the troops out of the city again and again.
