Seeing that there were more and more defeated soldiers, and the torches held high by the Han army in front of them were all over the mountains and fields, covering the sky, and were rushing towards their side, Su Mao and Jiaoqiang wiped the sweat beads on their faces, and said to Pang Meng urgently: "King Dongping, this battle, this battle Our army has been defeated, the top priority is still ...... Let's withdraw first! ”

Pang Meng's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "No one is allowed to withdraw!" ”

Su Mao and Jiaoqiang glanced at each other, and there were more beads of sweat on their faces.

If you don't leave now, you won't have a chance to leave when you want to.

Just when the two of them were pondering whether to leave Pang Meng behind and withdraw first, several bloodstained generals ran back from the front, and several people came to Pang Meng's approach, bowed their hands, and said breathlessly: "King, brothers are dead, those who escape, there is not much left, the king should leave quickly!" ”

Pang Meng took a closer look, these generals were all his henchmen, and the people they commanded were also the most elite soldiers in his hands, and now they ran back by themselves, obviously, the elite soldiers have been exhausted.

Seeing this, Pang Meng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

He looked at the torches on the other side like a tide and muttered, "I...... I'm Pang Meng, after all, I can't beat you Liu Xiu! ”

It really can't be helped! In terms of troops, Pang Meng's soldiers and horses are not as many as the Han army, and in terms of the generals who command the troops, the generals under Pang Meng's command are far inferior to the generals of the Han army.

On the side of Pang Meng's coalition army, only Pang Meng can really compete with the generals of the Han army.

However, it is difficult to stand alone, and on the battlefield of thousands of troops, the strength of one person is too limited to reverse the huge gap between the two sides.

In the end, Pang Meng had no choice but to take his henchmen and flee overnight with Su Mao and Jiaoqiang.

They didn't dare to go back to their own camp, but ran directly south to find Dong Xian to meet.

This battle was the last battle of the Battle of Taocheng, and it was also a losing battle for Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang.

After the battle, the coalition composed of Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang was completely defeated, and the baggage carried in the army, and even the baggage, grain and grass left in the camp, all fell into the hands of the Han army.

Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang escaped by luck with only thousands of remnants.

Hearing the news of the complete victory of his army, Chen Jun led his subordinates to open the gate of Taocheng City and went out of the city to meet Liu Xiu.

The moment they saw Chen Jun and the others, the soldiers of the Han army almost couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Chen Jun's head, chest, right arm and even left leg were wrapped in thick bandages, and he walked with a limp and staggering.

Looking at Chen Jun's subordinates again, one is counted as one, and there is no one who does not bear the injuries on his body, and the bandages wrapped around many of them are dyed black and brown with dried bloodstains, and their appearance is unbearable.

In the Battle of Taocheng, Chen Jun used more than 10,000 troops to resist more than 100,000 Pang Meng coalition troops for more than 20 days, and there were countless big and small battles during this period.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers, and now there are less than 1,000 people, and there are no less than 20,000 people in the city who have participated in the battle, including men and women, old and young, but now, even the casualties of the people participating in the war are more than 10,000.

It can be said that the entire military and civilians in Taocheng are about to be wiped out. New 81 Chinese network updates the fastest Mobile:://

But even so, Chen Jun still held on to Taocheng incredibly, and did not let Pang Meng break through the city defense and attack the city, which is a miracle in itself.

The moment he saw Chen Jun, Liu Xiu was also moved, he stepped forward, helped Chen Jun up from the ground with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "This battle has made Zizhao suffer!" The great victory of Taocheng, Zizhao has made great contributions! ”

If Chen Jun hadn't fought to the death to keep the Pang Meng coalition army out of Taocheng, if the Pang Meng coalition army had successfully captured Taocheng, and the Han army and the Pang Meng coalition army would have fought a hard siege battle, the final outcome of this battle would have been hard to say! Chen Jun bowed down and said: "Weichen is fortunate to live up to His Majesty's mission and keep Taocheng from losing!" The brothers under the command of Wei Chen, none of them were afraid of fighting, none of them escaped, and none of them surrendered......" In the end, Chen Jun was choked up and couldn't go on.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there are only a few hundred people left, and the head of Taocheng City is about to be dyed red by the blood of the soldiers.

Wu Han stepped forward, patted Chen Jun on the shoulder, and said, "Zizhao is good!" The soldiers of Taocheng and the people of Taocheng are all good! "New Bayi Chinese Network debuted

In the battle of Taocheng, the reason why the Han army was able to win a complete victory was actually at the expense of Taocheng.

When the Pang Meng Alliance attacked Taocheng in a big way, the main force of the Han army did not rush to Rencheng at all, and it was Liu Xiu who personally led the light cavalry and elite infantry, and made a rapid march all the way to Rencheng.

Even if Liu Xiu arrived in Rencheng, the strength of the Han army was far inferior to that of the Pang Meng coalition army.

However, Liu Xiu's arrival did greatly stimulate the morale and fighting spirit of the Taocheng army and civilians, and it was precisely because of the existence of Liu Xiu's psychological pillar that the Taocheng soldiers and civilians resisted the offensive of the Pang Meng coalition again and again in a desperate struggle.

And Taocheng's containment of Pang Meng's coalition army won valuable time for Wu Han and others to rush to Rencheng to concentrate their forces.

In the end, the main force of the Han army, which was assembled in Rencheng, defeated the Pang Meng coalition army with a huge advantage outside Taocheng, making Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang flee at night with only thousands of remnants.

The battle of Taocheng was not only a heavy blow to Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang, but also a heavy blow to Dong Xian's forces.

After this battle, the alliance between Dong Xian and Pang Meng has existed in name only, because after the battle, Pang Meng's soldiers and horses were almost all wiped out, and an alliance with a light pole commander, so what's the point?

Dong Xian didn't expect that Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang would be defeated so quickly, and the army of more than 100,000 people would be wiped out in one day.

Dong Xian and Liu Wei led the main army and hurried to Changxi.

Not long after they arrived in Changxi, Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiaoqiang also fled to Changshu and joined Dong Xian and Liu Xu.

The current battle situation is already very unfavorable for Dong Xian.

Changshu is the gateway to Donghai County, and whether or not it can resist the advance of the Han army here in Changshu is very important.

Dong Xian thought about it and made a deployment.

He asked Liu Xian to lead an army of 100,000 and garrison Changxi, while Dong Xian himself led 50,000 elites to garrison Xinyang.

Xinyang is located in the southeast of Changxi, only ten miles away from Changxi.

Taocheng is located in the northwest of Changxi, and the Han army went south from Taocheng, first facing Changxi, and then Xinyang.

Dong Xian calculated very well, let Liu Xuan take 100,000 troops, Yu Chang worried about containing the Han army, and he took 50,000 elites in Xinyang, looking for fighters and sneaking up on the Han army.

In this way, you may still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

His tactical deployment is actually using Liu Wei as a live target.

Liu Wei is not a fool, he knows Dong Xian's thoughts, but he is helpless.

His father Liu Yong has died, and the power of Yuzhou has long collapsed, if he wants to survive, he can only rely on Dong Xian, look up to others, and be controlled by others.

Liu Wei listened to Dong Xian's 'suggestion' and took 100,000 Dong Xian's troops and stationed them in Changxi.

And Dong Xian, with 50,000 elites, hid behind Chang Xi, Xinyang, ready to wait for the opportunity.

Within a few days, the Han army led by Liu Xiu entered Donghai County with great fanfare and went straight to Changxi.

Dong Xian thought that the Han army would definitely attack the roadblock of Changxi, but he never dreamed that the Han army would unbelievably bypass Changji and go straight to Xinyang, where he was.

This time, Dong Xian was scared a lot.

Xinyang is not a big city, and the city defense is not very strong, so it is not suitable for fighting a city defense battle at all.

However, the Han army came too quickly and suddenly, and did not give him a chance to evacuate Xinyang at all, and the Han army of 150,000 people, after arriving in Xinyang, immediately launched a strong attack on Xinyang City.

Dong Xian personally ascended to the top of the city and commanded his subordinates to fight.

At present, there are 50,000 defenders in Xinyang, and they are all the elite of Dong Xianjun's army, and their combat power is not weak.

It's just that in the face of the fierce offensive of the Han army, the Xinyang defenders are obviously a little powerless.

For this battle, not to mention that Dong Xian does not have much confidence, the soldiers under Dong Xian's command are also lacking in confidence.

All the generals suggested to Dong Xian that they abandon Xinyang, retreat to Changxi, and join Liu Xian's main army.

You must know that Xinyang is behind Chang Yu, Xinyang is lost, can Chang Yu last long?

Dong Xian did not accept the advice of his subordinates and insisted on staying in Xinyang to resist the Han army.

In fact, he still has a bit of a fluke mentality, now the Han army is attacking Xinyang with all its might, if Liu Wei can send troops from Chang Xi at this time, and kill from behind the Han army, his own side should be combined with the outside, why worry that the Han army will not break?

It's a pity that he really overestimated Liu Xuan.

After Liu Wei learned the news that the Han army was attacking Xinyang on a large scale, his first reaction was to order the city gate to be closed, and the whole army should strictly guard the city, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

Under Liu Xuan's order, 100,000 Dong Xianjun retreated in Changxi, not daring to take a step out of the city, and turned a blind eye to the close battle of Xinyang.

Unable to wait for reinforcements from his own soldiers, Dong Xianjun's army became more and more unconfident in Xinyang, and the more they fought, the lower their morale became, and the battle only lasted for half a day, and Gai Yan broke through the gate of Xinyang Xicheng.

Hearing that the West City Gate was breached, Dong Xian was shocked, where did he dare to continue to hold on to Xinyang, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to withdraw from Beicheng and all to Changxi.

This confrontation that took place in Xinyang broke out quickly and ended quickly, and the Han army did not spend much effort and successfully repelled Dong Xian's army and captured Xinyang in one fell swoop.

Dong Xian led tens of thousands of remnants, retreated to Changxi, saw Liu Xuan, angry like thunder, he stepped forward, grabbed Liu Xuan's collar, and roared: "King Liang is in Changxi, close to Xinyang, the Han army is attacking Xinyang, why doesn't King Liang help Xinyang with a single soldier?" ”

Facing Dong Xian in anger, Liu Xun's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, everyone present stepped forward to dissuade Dong Xian, no matter what, Liu Wei is also Liu Yong's son, or their nominal father-in-law, it is too rude to treat Liu Wei like this.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Dong Xian let go of Liu Xuan's collar, angry and angry, angry and aggrieved, he stomped his feet again and again, and said: "Missed the opportunity!" Because King Liang was timid and afraid of the enemy, our army missed the opportunity! ”

In Dong Xian's view, when the Han army attacked Xinyang on a large scale, if Liu Xun sent troops to help, he should cooperate with the outside world, so why worry about not breaking the Han army?

If you fail to seize such a good opportunity, how easy is it to find such an opportunity in the future?

Liu Wei gasped and stammered, "Hai...... King Hercynian ...... I didn't send anyone to report to the king, asking the king to send reinforcements! ”

Hearing this, Dong Xian's lungs were about to explode, he looked at Liu Xuan, who looked at him blankly, and didn't know where he had done wrong, couldn't help but stroke his forehead, do you still need me to send someone to pass the word to you?

Even if you have a lump of wood on your shoulder, you should know that you have to send troops to rescue Xinyang! "You ......" Dong Xian pointed at Liu Xuan, and was about to scold, when Su Mao suddenly interjected: "King Haixi, should we deal with Liu Xiu like this now?" ”

Dong Xian's raised hand slowly put it down, closed his eyes painfully, and was silent for a while, he slowly lifted his eyes, and said quietly: "There is no way, I can only ask for help!" ”

Hearing this, everyone present was half cold.
