Chapter 466: Attacking the Heart

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Wang Lang sent 20,000 soldiers under his command, originally wanting to help Li Yu and Zhang Shen, but he didn't expect that Peng Shi was unexpectedly killed by Jia Fu in his own position.

Wu Han took this opportunity to command his soldiers and launch an all-out onslaught on Wang Lang's army.

Wang Lang's army only made a symbolic resistance, and began to rout. Wu Han did not give up, while commanding the cavalry, continuing to attack the enemy army and confusing the enemy's phalanx, while personally leading the infantry and advancing step by step on the frontal battlefield.

Every commander has his own style of leading troops to fight, and Wu Han is no exception. Wu Han's style is to attack. Wu Han was born as an official in Youzhou, and he often came into contact with Youzhou Turks, and he himself had a very unique understanding of cavalry combat.

The army he commanded perfectly combined his own strengths, and was particularly good at riding and cooperating.

During the engagement, he sent out cavalry, or harassed the flanks and rear of the enemy, or slammed the enemy's weak points, so as to disrupt the enemy's formation as much as possible.

At the same time, he commanded the infantry to constantly advance on the frontal battlefield, putting great pressure on the enemy's forward army, forcing it to constantly retreat.

As a result, the two flanks of the enemy army were harassed by cavalry and were in confusion, coupled with the continuous retreat of the front army, one in front and one behind, colliding with each other, and the whole formation of the whole army was in chaos.

Fight 20,000 with 10,000, fight more with less, but under the command of Wu Han, looking at the situation on the battlefield, Wu Hanjun is more like a side with more people and more powerful, but Wang Langjun is more like a side with a single force.

The battle has reached this level, and Wu Han's commanding ability can also be seen from this.

Jia Fu and others, who were in the depths of Wang Lang's army, were not idle, Jia Fu led the rushing army, rushing left and right, and stirring up Wang Lang's army's Chinese army.

Soon, Wang Lang's army was defeated and fled, and people didn't care what formation was not formed, so they turned around and ran back. The casualties caused by trampling on each other are innumerable.

After this battle, the 20,000 Wang Lang troops who went out of the city finally only fled back to about 3,000 people, and the rest of the Wang Lang army were either killed in battle or captured alive by Wu Han's army, which can be described as a complete defeat.

When Wang Lang heard the report of the soldiers who had fled back that his son Wang Xi had just gone out of the city in the army, and was still in the chaos of the army, and was killed by the enemy, Wang Lang felt that his eyes were dark, and his body fell to the side violently.

The ministers present were quick with their hands, hurriedly supported Wang Lang, and called out in a gossipy voice: "Your Majesty! Your Majestyβ€”"

Wang Lang slowly opened his eyes, looked around at the people around him, and before he could speak, a mouthful of old blood spurted out first.

Let's talk about the battlefield outside the city.

Li Yu and Zhang saw that Handan sent troops to reinforce their side, and the two of them and the soldiers under their command were all overjoyed.

But the greatest expectation is greater, and the greater the disappointment. Who would have thought that the reinforcements of 20,000 people would be defeated so quickly, and they didn't even have time to put decent pressure on Liu Xiujun, and they had already been defeated like a mountain and collapsed for thousands of miles.

When the news reached Li Yu and Zhang Shen, the two of them were stupid, and the generals around them were also stupid. The morale of the officers and men of the whole army, which had been raised with great difficulty, fell to the bottom in an instant, and it was even worse than the morale of the first day of the battle.

"Heaven is the best for our army! What a godsend! At this time, Li Yu was completely desperate, and he knew very well in his heart that the 20,000 reinforcements sent by Handan would be defeated, and then, Handan would not send a single soldier.

Relying only on his own group of hungry and exhausted soldiers, it is impossible to be the opponent of Liu Xiujun like a wolf and a tiger in any case.

In fact, it is.

On the battlefield, the situation of equal strength has quietly changed, Liu Xiujun is advancing step by step, while Wang Langjun is forced to retreat step by step. With every step back of the phalanx, groups of soldiers fell in the front row.

Seeing that Wang Langjun had shown defeat, Liu Xiu called Long Yuan and explained to him: "Order the former army officers and soldiers to persuade them to surrender while advancing, and if there are those who lay down their arms and surrender, they can all be accepted!" ”

"Yes! Lord! Long Yuan agreed, and quickly ran to the front army.

Liu Xiu said again: "Long Zhun, Long Xiao!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Long Zhun and Long Xiao urged the two to step forward and intervene to give a salute.

"Go to the rear army, let the brothers carry out the cauldron and bury the pot to make rice!"

"Yes! Lord! ”

Long Zhun and Long Xiao turned their horses to the rear army, and after a short time, a large number of soldiers came over carrying a mouthful of large iron pots.

When they arrived at the open space of the Chinese army, people began to get busy, some burned firewood, some set up pots, some carried water, and some cut meat.

After a short time, the heat came out of the big iron pot, and the aroma of the stewed meat spread.

At this time, don't say what it was like for Wang Langjun on the other side to smell the fragrance of the broth, even Liu Xiujun's soldiers, raising their noses and smelling the fragrance of meat, were also full of mouth, and couldn't help swallowing saliva vigorously. The front army side. After receiving Liu Xiu's order, Liu Xiujun's soldiers began to no longer simply kill and injure the enemy, but shouted loudly while attacking: "Brother Wang Langjun, listen, now as long as you are willing to put down the weapons in your hands, Da Sima can go away."

Not only can it bypass your lives, but you also have broth to drink! ”

"Stop resisting! Wang Lang rebelled in Hebei, it is against the way of heaven, follow Wang Lang, there is only one way to die, and now it is too late to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! ”

"If you are obsessed and loyal to Wang Lang, you can only lose your life in vain and give Wang Lang a funeral!" The so-called siege is to attack the city for the bottom, and the heart for the top. The hungry soldiers of Wang Langjun, after smelling the smell of meat wafting over, were like scratching and rubbing their intestines, and now they heard the persuasion of the Han army to surrender, even if they were people with strong willpower, they couldn't help but look like

Lay down their arms, not to mention, the willpower of many soldiers is not yet strong.

They chose to follow Wang Lang at the beginning, just to have a bite to eat, but now Wang Lang can't give them food, but Liu Xiuneng, so why do you want to fight again?

Crash! Crash! Soon, the sound of Wang Lang's soldiers throwing away their weapons on the battlefield was endless, and a large number of soldiers put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered to Liu Xiujun.

In fact, when the battle reached this point, Li Yujun was undoubtedly defeated, and Liu Xiu could win a big victory even if he didn't use the technique of attacking the heart.

I have to say that Liu Xiu's essence is indeed very benevolent. Here in Hebei, the soldiers are in chaos, the day is precarious, the corpses are all over the field, and the ten rooms are empty.

There were already too many people dead, and Liu Xiu really couldn't bear to see tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people die on the battlefield.

At a deeper level, Liu Xiu hopes to take Hebei as his future base, kill one more person now, and in the future, he will have less strength in Hebei.

Whether in public or private, Liu Xiu hopes to kill fewer people, preferably not to kill people, and to be able to surrender without a fight as the best policy.

In a desperate situation, surrender was like a plague, spreading rapidly among Wang Lang's army, and the generals of various departments could not stop it if they wanted to.

The soldiers of Wang Lang's army who surrendered were brought back to the Chinese army by the Han army one after another, and people saw the rows of steaming big iron pots in the center of the clearing, and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva vigorously, and their eyes were about to fly out.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but smile, and said to the three people around him, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei: "Explain to the brothers, give the soldiers who surrendered, and each of them will serve a bowl of broth." ”

Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei looked at each other, and Xuying whispered: "Lord, our brothers are still hungry!" ”

It was past noon, but the battle was not over, and people could only continue to fight hungry.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "When this battle is over, everyone will have broth to drink!" Go for it! ”

Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei didn't say anything more, and conveyed Liu Xiu's order.

After receiving the bowl full of broth handed over by the Han soldiers, many of Wang Langjun's soldiers poured directly into their stomachs regardless of whether they were hot or not. A bowl of soup was drunk without a drop left, and even the bottom of the bowl was added to the bottom.

On the battlefield ahead, the defeat of Wang Lang's army was unstoppable. Now the soldiers who surrendered are no longer one or two, but are led by Jun Sima, and groups of one or two surrenders.

At this time, Li Yu and Zhang Shen both knew that their side had been completely defeated in this battle, and there was no chance of victory.

Li Yu slowly pulled out the saber under his ribs, and at the same time pulled out his handkerchief, gently wiped the sword body, and said, "The soldiers below, you can surrender, but I can't." ”

Even if he chooses to surrender, with his identity as a great Sima, there is no way to live. As if seeing Li Yu's thoughts, Zhang Shen's face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed his arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Da Sima, you ......"

"I knew this was the case, I really should have followed Liu Xiu at the beginning!" Li Yu threw away the handkerchief and sighed in the sky.

When Wang Lang rebelled, with the support of the three kings of Hebei, all counties and counties returned to obedience, and even many counties and counties in Youzhou also secretly showed favor to Wang Lang, which can be described as in full swing.

At that time, Liu Xiu had only more than 100 followers around him, and he was chased and killed and hid in Tibet. Who would have thought that only two months later, Liu Xiu had already led his troops to the city, and Wang Lang was only left with a lonely city in Handan.

At the beginning, there was such a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, but now there is such a big reversal, how did it happen, and how did Liu Xiu do it, Li Yu couldn't understand.

Now he can only secretly regret in his heart, he had no eyes and missed Liu Xiu, but he chose Wang Lang.

"Da Sima!" Zhang Shen looked at the despair and ashes on Li Yu's face, as if he saw himself. Li Yu smiled indifferently at Zhang Shen, but his smile was more ugly than crying.

Without warning, he suddenly waved his arm and shook Zhang Shen's hand away, and then he flipped his wrist, held the sword upside down, put it on his neck, and said, "General, I, Li Yu, will take a step first!" ”

After saying this, he wiped the sword in his hand hard.

Burst!

"Big ......" Zhang Shen wanted to stop Li Yu again, but it was too late. I saw a bloody arrow shoot out from Li Yu's neck, and he shook his horse a few times, and then the corpse fell from the horse's back to the ground. Looking at Li Yu, who was killing himself with a horizontal sword, Zhang Shen seemed to see his upcoming fate. His nose was sour, and tears were streaming down his face. jumped off the war horse, untied the big curtain behind him, and slowly covered Li Yu's corpse, while covering him

Then, he turned over his horse again, looked at the stunned generals left and right, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the order, follow the general, and rush to kill the enemy!" ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the others, and urged the horse to gallop forward.

The generals present looked at each other, most of them were sitting on horseback, motionless, only a few generals followed Zhang Shen and rushed forward with him. They are not seeking war, but they are bent on dying!
