Chapter 398: The Battle of Xiangyang (Final)
"Death!"
When Huang Zu fled in a panic, a loud shout came from in front of him.
Huang Zu, who was still paying attention to Huang Zhong who was still trying to shoot arrows in the rear, heard the shouting in front of him, and turned around sharply, but he saw a military general coming to him on a horse.
A flash of white light.
Hand up and knife down.
Huang Zu saw his own headless body, which was also the last scene he saw.
It turned out that Yan Yan, who led the army to support, also noticed Huang Zu and Zhang Yun, and knew that the two were the main generals of the Jingzhou army, but Zhang Yun was killed by Huang Zhong's arrow.
But Huang Zu fled in his direction, and didn't notice him.
Yan Yan didn't have any intention of reminding him, so he went over directly and killed Huang Zu with one sword.
Zhang Yun and Huang Zu, when they fled, were killed by Huang Zhong and Yan Yan and did not escape.
The deaths of Zhang Yun and Huang Zu accelerated the rout of the Jingzhou army, and the Jingzhou army, which was already on the run, had no intention of resisting.
The defeat is like a mountain.
With a Jingzhou soldier throwing down his weapon and surrendering, more and more Jingzhou soldiers joined it, directly throwing down their weapons and squatting on the ground to show surrender and save their lives.
Of course, there are still some Jingzhou troops fleeing in all directions, but they are still being chased and killed by the Qin army with high morale.
Soon.
The battle is over.
Although the Qin army paid a certain price, this battle defeated the Jingzhou army, greatly weakened the strength of guarding Xiangyang City, and killed two generals of the Jingzhou army.
It was a big win.
In the battlefield, the soldiers of the Qin army were cleaning the battlefield and taking in a group of prisoners.
And Yan Yan and Huang Zhong also got together.
"Fortunately, General Yan arrived in time this time, otherwise...!" Huang Zhong arched his hand.
Although it is not clear why Yan Yan, who should be in the land of mediocrity, led his troops to appear here, Yan Yan arrived in a very timely manner, which is a fact.
If Yan Yan hadn't led the army to arrive, he would not be able to kill Zhang Yun and Huang Zu now, and he would have been defeated in the hands of the Jingzhou army, then he would have lived up to Qin Yin's trust in him.
You must know that he is the main general sent by Qin Yin, and he has a certain task, if he is defeated, it will have a certain impact.
Even if they didn't estimate that Jiangxia's Jingzhou army would come to support, this was also where his carelessness lies.
There is no escaping responsibility.
Yan Yan also arched his hand, returned a salute, and said, "General Huang is polite!" ”
Immediately, he also told Huang Zhong the reason why he appeared here.
It turned out that with Zhuge Liang's plan, he took Kuai Liang and defeated the defenders of Shangyong City, so he continued to follow Zhuge Liang's plan and marched in two ways.
He and Zhuge Liang led the army to escort Kuai Liang and a group of prisoners towards Xiangyang City.
After entering the territory of Xiangyang City, he knew that Qin Yin sent Huang Zhong to lead 10,000 soldiers to besiege Xiangyang, so he wanted to come and join forces with Huang Zhong.
It's just that in the process of marching, I saw that it was already night, so I was ready to set up camp, rest for the night, and come back to meet tomorrow morning, but I received the news of the investigation sent out, and saw the fire on this side,、。
After all, when Zhang Yun led the army to arrive before, he attacked the camp with rockets, and the Qin army did not have time to extinguish the fire, so it could only be left to burn.
This also made the detectives find out that something was wrong.
In the end, Zhuge Liang and Yan Yan decided to let Yan Yan lead the army first, and Zhuge Liang led a small number of soldiers and horses to come in the rear.
It was precisely in this way that Yan Yan led the army to arrive in time.
"I see!" Huang Zhong sighed.
He also felt a little lucky.
Anyway, Yan Yan led the army to arrive, and he didn't let him mess things up, but also helped him indirectly.
I am also very happy that Yan Yan and others have won the mediocrity.
After all, Shangyong City fell into their hands, and the situation in Jingzhou would also change because of this, and now they have also defeated the Jingzhou army guarding Xiangyang.
With Yan Yan and Zhuge Liang leading the army to arrive, it will become easier to take Xiangyang City.
Once you take Xiangyang City, that...
It can be said that Liu Biao's defeat has been decided, and there is no chance of turning over.
Although the camp has been completely burned down, and there is still a certain amount of grain and grass with it, Huang Zhong does not have any pity in his heart, because it is completely different now.
Just a big battalion, and a little grain and grass, is not enough to make him feel distressed.
...
On the city wall of Xiangyang City.
When the Qin army was cleaning up the battlefield.
On the city wall, there are several people who have been paying attention to what is happening in front of the Qin army's camp, after all, the two places are not far apart, even if it is dark, they can still be seen under the flickering firelight.
And there are still 5,000 defenders in the city.
But even if the Jingzhou army that finally went to attack the Qin army's camp was defeated, the defenders who stayed in the city did not have the slightest idea of coming to the rescue, let alone open the city gate, allowing these Jingzhou troops to be defeated by the Qin army.
If the 5,000 Jingzhou troops who remained in the city joined it.
There may be a different ending.
However.
The five thousand defenders in the city did not have that kind of mind, and now that they go out, it is difficult to change anything, and the battle outside the city is over.
When they went out of the city, they just delivered food to the Qin army, which was in full swing.
More than 50,000 Jingzhou troops were unable to take the Qin army's camp, and they dragged until the Qin army's support arrived, and was finally defeated, and now they only have 5,000 soldiers and horses left, and they have no certainty.
The most important thing.
The few people standing in the center of the city wall have been paying attention to the situation outside the city, and they have not given the order to go out of the city to rescue.
Then these soldiers who follow orders and act will not have such thoughts.
"Eldest son, is this really good?" A man dressed as a military general, with a hesitant look on his face, said to a young man in front of him.
And standing in front of him was Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi.
Liu Qi insisted on staying in the city according to Liu Biao's arrangement, instead of going out of the city to face the battle, but Zhang Yun and Liu Cong did not have such an idea and took the opportunity to make trouble.
directly denied Liu Qi's idea, and also united with Huang Zu, who came from Jiangxia, to attack the Qin army camp and defeat the Qin army.
If it weren't for the Qin army reinforcements that appeared later.
Such a plan may really succeed.
It's a pity that it's just that short.
But.
It is precisely because of the different opinions of both sides that the contradictions between Liu Qi and Zhang Yun and others are getting bigger and bigger, and they are already in a state that is impossible to reconcile.
But this is not surprising, after all, Zhang Yun and others want to support Liu Cong to inherit Liu Biao's position, but Liu Qi is an obstacle of Zhang Yun and others, and Liu Qi can only resist in order to save his life, and that's it.
