Chapter 44: The Great War of Annihilation

"The embankment is about to burst, everyone work harder!" Liu Xiu's shouts echoed in the air, and people who didn't understand the situation would think that Liu Xiu was dying, but as long as they looked closely, they would find that this kid didn't know when he tied several hemp ropes around his waist.

The first stream of water gushing out of the breach of the Yellow River was not turbulent, and the flow speed was very small, but Liu Xiu had already lost his iron pestle and replaced it with a weapon, and was ready for battle.

At first, the officers and soldiers didn't pay attention to the water under their feet, and it wasn't until the whole boot was soaked that they woke up!

"The Yellow River has burst." Under the shouting, this sentence spread like a virus throughout the battlefield in an instant, and before the Huns had time to cheer, the officers and soldiers had already gone crazy.

"Defend the embankment at all costs!"

The slogan needs to be proved by action, action needs to be at the cost of life, the Huns were temporarily disrupted by the official army's life-for-life style of play, and when they adapted to it, the Huns had already lost more than half, and the Hun envoy was carrying a big knife on his shoulder, panting.

From the beginning of the handover to the white heat, the two sides have long been killed.

It doesn't matter whether you live or die, only the victory or loss of this war is the point.

After another half an hour, the battle situation was still stalemate, but the breach was washed by the water, expanding to more than ten meters, the water became more and more violent, and the main stream of the Yellow River gradually deviated.

After another half an hour, the water potential has been "like ten thousand horses galloping", "looking at a vast ocean in the distance", the Huns, officials and soldiers have been swept away by the river, life and death are unknown.

The battle was interrupted by the flood, and those who were lucky enough to escape were looking for a foothold or a place to rely on, among which Liu Xiu was the worst, the water level had long exceeded his developing figure, he relied on the rope on his body, and he had to come out every few steps at the bottom of the river to change his breath, and he didn't even have time to scream and scold.

The water is more than a foot deep, and the waves are three feet high. On the other hand, Liu Xiu, who had to come out of the river with all his might, climbed up the hill and looked at the endless Zeguo in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Wang Mang, I think you should do it this time?" ”

Juntun is gone, Wei County is gone, the corpses of countless old and weak women and children are floating on the water, Tian He General Zhao and the whole person are violent, he hates the Wei County Guard who took him to drink flower wine yesterday, he hates the deputy general on duty that night, he personally held the knife, cut off the head of the Wei County Guard and the deputy general, he wiped his saber repeatedly, and finally wiped his neck after a sigh, and used his own head to calm Wang Mang's anger, so that his parents, wives and children at home were not implicated.

When the messenger sent the news of the general's camp to Sun Jian's barracks, Sun Jian's face sank, and he angrily flipped the table on the spot and scolded Zhao and misled the country, but the Huns were excited, and many generals got up to ask for battle.

The messenger of Wei County had only been gone for a week, and the messenger of Liaoxi County came again, saying that Goguryeo and Wuheng had rebelled and raised troops to attack Liaoxi County.

The irascible Sun Jian flipped the table again, although he had the heart to send troops to rescue, he had no imperial order, how could he dare to divide troops to rescue.

When the messenger learned that Sun Jian did not send troops, his face turned pale on the spot, and he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "General, I have asked for help from the county guards all over the way, and they are all afraid that sending troops will lead to the loss of their garrison, and they will be punished, but the more they care, the more dangerous it is!" ”

Different levels mean that the circumference of things is different. Sun Jiannian said a big vernacular for the sake of the messenger's protector: "With my understanding of the emperor, the army to quell the rebellion should have set off from Beijing, and it will arrive in Liaoxi County in a few days. ”

The messenger has been running among high-ranking officials for many years, and he can clearly feel that Sun Jian did not lie to himself, and besides, Sun Jian does not need to lie to himself, the messenger kowtowed a few times, and said gratefully: "Thank you general, the villain will go back and persuade my general." ”

On the official road, the horses galloped, Yan You was ordered by the emperor to send troops to quell the chaos, his task was simple and clear, slaughtering the princes and princes of Goguryeo, and changing the name of Goguryeo to Xiaguryeo. Because the emperor was a secret order, Yan You did not make a fuss like other generals going on the expedition, but only brought a hundred guards and two horses.

Along the way, there were constantly guards who sped up their speed and went to the front to arrange things first.

I saw that every time Yan You passed through a city, there were nearly 100 elite horsemen in the city, riding horses.

From hundreds to thousands, from thousands to thousands, when he came to the boundary of Liaoxi County, Yan You had already gathered thousands of elite horsemen behind him, and also received the news that Liaoxi Taishoutian Tan was killed in battle, and Goguryeo humiliated the people of Liaoxi.

Rushing day and night but still too late, Yan You suppressed the anger in his heart and issued the first order of the war of annihilation: "Destroy all the enemy's scouts, I want to make them like blind people who can't find their way." ”

More than 100 scouts responded and rushed directly into the battlefield.

For two days in a row, the guards of Goguryeo in Liaoxi County could not receive a single movement outside the city, and he sent hundreds of scouts out, but half a day passed, and the water outside the city was still quiet and geese flying.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

The sky is obviously clear, but the Liaoxi County guard is uneasy in his heart, no matter how he looks at it, he feels that the sky is full of dark clouds, as if something bad is about to happen.

With this uneasy feeling, the Liaoxi County Garrison ordered the army to be on strict defense, but he did not guess that hundreds of enemy troops had already mixed into the city.

In the middle of the night, there was a sound of killing, the city gate was opened on time, and Yan You's army, which had been waiting for a long time, instantly lit all the torches and rode horses to capture the city.

Yan You is more than Le Yi and Bai Qi, and the style of killing people is also the same, he does not accept any surrender and likes to use human heads to build mountains, and everywhere he goes is like a demon crossing the border, raping and plundering, and chickens and dogs are not left, and even as long as his army flag is erected, Goguryeo has a situation of fleeing from the city.

While killing the enemy and breaking the city, Yan You did not forget to spread some news, saying that the prince of Goguryeo was a wreck, and the new dynasty only had 10,000 people, but he did not dare to lead the army to fight.

When the rumors first appeared, the people of Goguryeo did not think so, and they all felt that it would not be the king's turn to exterminate an enemy country's army, but with Yan You's murderous reputation, the king's personal expedition became the spiritual pillar of the people of his country.

Yan You wants this effect, he needs a decisive battle, one time to beat the enemy, until they hide in the corner and tremble.

This decisive battle did indeed play Yan You's fame, he killed 100,000 Goguryeo troops with 10,000 against 150,000 and 4,000 casualties, and the head of the king of Goguryeo was even picked up in the Shuai Banner parade around the street.

When the head of the Goguryeo prince returned to Kyoto, Wang Mang ordered a state banquet to celebrate for three days, and even promulgated the imperial list on the spot, announcing to the world that "the Goguryeo kingdom no longer exists, and the king of Goguryeo no longer exists. ”

When Liu Xiu heard the news that Goguryeo was destroyed, he shouted angrily, cutting down the big trees one after another, and muttered even more: "Thousands of calculations, I just didn't guess that Wang Mang still had such a ruthless person in his hands." ”

"Yan You, master, I remember you."
