Chapter 733: Rush
After Liu Yikang decided to retreat south, he was very decisive and did not procrastinate, the army of the Southern Dynasties abandoned the heavy ordnance that slowed down the march, and even the siege equipment was all discarded, but these materials were all collected by the cadres of Hua Mulan who followed later.
The retreat of the Southern Korean army to the south was very fast, at first the daily march reached 80 li, but because of the large number of men and horses, the speed still slowed down after two days, but the cadres under the command of Zhao Junsheng moved south faster.
On the night of the second day after the capture of Qian County, Zhao Junsheng convened the generals and ministers of the army in the Taishou Mansion.
"Zhuqing, Lone plans to send a cavalry to attack Quyang for a long time, cut off the supply lines and return routes of the Southern Dynasty army, burn the ships and bridges on the north bank of the Huai River, and prevent them from escaping back to Huainan, I wonder which general is willing to lead troops to carry out this mission?"
Zhao Junsheng's words lifted the spirits of the generals, and the military operation alone was what many generals longed for, and this long-distance attack was not too difficult, the only requirement was to be fast, to destroy the bridges and ships before the Southern Korean army withdrew to the Huai River.
In this season, the water level is much higher than in other seasons, and the current is so fast that some of the river crossings can be crossed on foot, but not at this time, and it is impossible to cross the river without bridges and boats.
Of course, after the southern army arrived on the north bank of the Huai River, it could build bridges and ships, but this was by no means something that could be done in a day or two.
Fight to the death? Not any general in command of the army can repeat Han Xin's last battle.
Zhao Junsheng's eyes fell on a middle-aged general named Sun Shujun, Sun Shujun's father is called Sun Shujian, Sun Shujian is a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, few of the military generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty can compare to him, the Southern Dynasties are afraid of him like a tiger, and even Yan Zhi and Tan Daoji have repeatedly suffered defeats in his hands.
However, Sun Shujian has been dead for several years, Sun Shujun has been working under the Wei family, and after the Wei family returned to the Qianguo, Sun Shujun stayed in Luoyang and returned to Xue Andu to control it.
"Sun Shujun!"
Sun Shujun took a deep breath and stood up, he knew that his chance to come out had come, since the opportunity appeared, he would never waste it, he stood up and clenched his fists and promised in a deep voice: "The end will be!" ”
"Lone will give you five thousand light horses, three horses per person, ten days of dry food and horse feed, set off tonight, you will give Lone a day and night to go straight to Yicheng, cut off Liu Yikang's way back!"
Sun Shujun clenched his fists and agreed: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
At this time, the envoy in the army came in to report: "King, there is news from the Changshe that Liu Yuanjing of the Southern Dynasty led the army to continue to retreat south, and has now entered the Nanyang territory!" ”
Zhao Junsheng pulled over the map and looked at it, raised his head and ordered: "Order the leopard to lead the army to continue south, unless Liu Yuanjing retreats to the boundary of Xiangyang, he will not stop going south!" Tell the leopard to press Lone step by step, stare at Liu Yuanjing, and don't let him out of sight! ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Junsheng's army posed a huge threat to Liu Yikang, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, but at the same time, his right flank was also vulnerable to Liu Yuanjing's threat, once the speed of his side to the south was too fast, and the leopard did not keep an eye on it, so that Liu Yuanjing lost his trace, Liu Yuanjing suddenly gave Zhao Junsheng a cold breath to the rear of the side, it would be a big trouble, so the three-way army must go south in tandem.
Zhao Junsheng ordered again: "Lu Shuang! ”
"The minister is here!"
"Give you 3,000 people, you go to fight Ruyin, protect the right flank of my main army, if there is an enemy army on the right flank of the main army, you are the only one who asks!"
Lu Shuang clenched his fists: "The minister takes the order!" ”
"Order, make dinner at midnight tomorrow morning, and set off at midnight!"
Uncle Sun Juntong set off with 5,000 soldiers and horses in the son, three hours earlier than the main army, and three horses per person, day and night, on the way to meet the city around the city, fortunately in Huaibei although the water network is dense, but there are no big rivers, there is always a shallow water area to wade through.
More than 400 miles away, Sun Shujun took only two days to run with 5,000 light horses, and at this time, Liu Yikang's main force of the Southern Dynasty army of 80,000 horses was still in Xiangcheng.
Yicheng County, is one of the most important transit points on the supply line of the Southern Dynasty army, it is an important town on the north bank of the Huai River, there are shipping docks, and there are a large number of ships at the docks to transport supplementary soldiers and baggage.
Once, Yicheng County was occupied by the cadres for two years, and Lu Liang's garrison was stationed here.
Sun Shujun's cavalry arrived twenty miles northwest of Yicheng County in the afternoon, in order to achieve the purpose of raiding Yicheng County, Sun Shujun led the army to approach slowly, and sent people to collect people's clothes in nearby villages, so that the soldiers dressed up as the names of nearby villages pushed the board to the north gate of Yicheng County.
At dusk, half an hour before the city gate was closed, a large number of people came to the city gate and lined up to enter the city.
One of the guards at the city gate looked at everyone entering the city with eagle-like eyes, and when it was the turn of Zhu Mingfeng, who was dressed as a commoner, he walked over from the side and stopped him: "Why do you look at Miansheng, where is it?" ”
Zhu Mingfeng looked pitiful and said: "Master Jun, we are fleeing from the north, let us go into the city!" ”
The accent appeared as soon as the words came out of his mouth, and it was not okay to lie, so Zhu Mingfeng simply said it directly.
Shi Chang's face changed: "From Hebei?" Are you all from Hebei? Come on, come here, push all the carts over for inspection, don't get in the way! ”
Zhu Mingfeng immediately pleaded: "Master Jun, it's good, let us go into the city to beg for food, we haven't eaten for several days!" ”
Shi Chang said with a fierce face: "Lao Tzu asked you all to come over for inspection, didn't you hear? Hurry up! ”
Zhu Mingfeng's face changed suddenly, he punched Shi Chang in the stomach, stretched out his hand and pulled out Shi Chang's waist knife, and with a bang, the knife flashed, Shi Chang's head fell to the ground, and the blood rushed out more than a meter high.
"Brothers, do it!" Zhu Mingfeng roared, waved his knife twice in a row, and cut down the two Southern Dynasty soldiers who were still stunned to the ground, and other cadres and soldiers dressed as ordinary people took out their weapons from under the firewood pile on the cart and rushed towards the city gate.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, close the city gates, close the ······"
"Puff puff"
The guards of the city gate were hacked to death before they finished shouting, and several cadres and soldiers rushed over and swung their knives and slashed, and several southern soldiers who controlled the city gate were hacked to death on the spot, and the city gate was controlled by the cadres in their hands.
The remaining soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were so frightened that they wanted to escape but were chased and slashed by the soldiers of the Qian.
"The first and second ones stay to guard the city gates, and the others rush up to the city tower with me!" Zhu Mingfeng saw that the guards at the city gate were all killed, and immediately led people to rush through the city gate hole and kill them on the city tower.
Yicheng is a relatively important city, the Southern Dynasty deployed 3,000 soldiers and horses here, but because it is a transit station, there is no danger at all on weekdays, and the cadres cannot reach here.
There were only more than 20 defenders on the city tower, and the people were panicked under the surprise attack, unable to organize an effective defense, and the will to resist was not resolute, and they were soon killed by Zhu Mingfeng and others.
The banner of Qianguo was constantly shaking at the head of the city, and Sun Shujun, who was a few miles away from the city, saw this scene, and he was overjoyed: "Zhu Mingfeng, they have succeeded, brothers, rush into the city with me and capture Yicheng!" ”
"Rush—"
Five thousand soldiers and horses rushed to the city gate at the fastest speed, but with a cup of tea, Sun Shujun took the lead into the city and went straight to the military camp in the city.
Along the way, all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were slashed and killed, and they soon rushed to the gate of the barracks.
The guards at the gate of the barracks saw that they had suddenly killed a large number of enemy troops, and for a while they couldn't understand how any enemy troops could enter the city.
Sun Shujun rushed into the barracks with a large group of cavalry without resistance, and the attacked Southern Dynasty soldiers were in confusion, and the Southern Dynasty soldiers who kept running out of the barracks would be shot by arrows, some of them were surrounded on the school yard and shot to death, and some were rushed up and hacked to death by the cavalry of the cadre army.
The 3,000 Southern Korean soldiers were strangled in the barracks without exerting the slightest combat effectiveness, and the battle ended in less than half an hour.
More than 1,800 Southern Korean soldiers were killed, and more than 1,000 chose to surrender, and the guard general Huang Dongsheng was captured.
There was a large area of black pressure kneeling on the school field, all of which were surrendered Southern Dynasty generals, and there was a circle of cadres and cavalry around the school field, all holding bows and arrows and staring at each other.
Several soldiers escorted Huang Dongsheng over and reported to Uncle Sun: "General, this is the guard general Huang Dongsheng!" ”
"Chop!" Sun Shujun gave the order without hesitation.
A soldier waved his knife and saw that Huang Dongsheng was killed on the spot, and the soldiers were restless, and some of the soldiers were extremely angry and seemed to be unable to control it.
Sun Shujun didn't think about keeping these prisoners at all, it was a heavy burden to keep them, he immediately ordered: "Kill them all, not one of them!" ”
"Whoosh ······" The cavalry kept firing arrows.
"Ahh
The soldiers tried to rush up to snatch the weapons of the cavalry of the Qianjun army and fought desperately with them, but unfortunately they were surrounded in the middle, and there was still some distance between them and the cavalry of the Qianjun, and before they could rush up, they were all mercilessly shot by arrows.
The corpses in the encirclement were all over the place, and the blood was raging.
A fast horse galloped over, "General Qiyu, the county government has been captured, all the four city gates have been captured by our army, and the county order appointed by the Southern Dynasty has also been captured by our army!" ”
Sun Shujun ordered: "Kill the county order appointed by the Southern Dynasty!" The 1,000th cavalry immediately went out of the south gate to the river bank to control the wharf, gathered the boats and burned them in a concentrated manner! ”
"Yes!" The thousandth horseman came out under the command of the commander and headed for the south gate.
Sun Shujun ordered the barracks to be cleaned up and cleaned up, and the soldiers will still live here these days.
Next, Sun Shujun sent troops to clean up the remnants of the Southern Dynasty army in the city, and soon took control of the whole city.
"Someone, go and report to the king, our army has captured Yicheng!"
"Come on, go find firewood and burn all the four city gates!"
What does it mean to burn the city gates? The cadres and soldiers who carried out the order were confused, why did they burn the city gate? Sun Shujun quickly made everyone understand why he was burning the city gates.
