Chapter 96: Annihilation

After Pei Qing finished speaking, he immediately ordered that the soldiers of the whole city immediately assemble to chase and kill the defeated and fleeing enemy army, and before leaving, he announced to the people that they should quickly move away from Xinfeng before the officers and soldiers left, and do not stay, because the Xiliang army will soon sweep in, and at that time, they will be wiped out.

Hearing Pei Qing's order, whether it was Xu Rong, Zhang Chao, Zang Ba and Li Su, they were all shaken, because they knew that there must have been an accident, so Pei Qing would give up Xinfeng.

"The Xiliang army has used intrigues and tricks, only a small number of troops to attack the city, its main force has already killed Chang'an, we need to be non-stop, first solve the Xiliang army stationed not far away, and then immediately rush to the aid of Chang'an, if God favors, we still have hope to rescue Chang'an, otherwise, everyone will only leave Guanzhong for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to kill back later."

"To this extent?" Xu Rong, Zhang Chao and Zang Ba were all shaken in their hearts, they had not yet recovered from the joy of victory, they did not expect the situation to change again, but no matter what, Pei Qing's orders must also be followed, they immediately issued orders one by one, although the soldiers did not understand, but they could only comply, quickly assembled the team, just half an hour, 20,000 troops were already ready to standby.

As for those injured soldiers, if they were slightly injured and could continue to fight, Pei Qing asked them to continue to follow, and those who were seriously injured, although they couldn't bear it, Pei Qing could only give them up ruthlessly, but Pei Qing still paid to hire hundreds of Minzhuang, so that they could find a way to transfer those seriously injured soldiers out of Xinfeng, as for what these people would do after they left, there was no time to take care of it now.

After the army was assembled, Pei Qing took the lead and led the soldiers to chase in the direction of the enemy's retreat, and did not look back, but said silently in his heart: "Farewell, Xinfeng, but I will come back one day sooner or later." ”

The generals of the Xiliang Army who were responsible for staying behind were Li Meng and Wang Fang, they commanded an army of 30,000, and the task was to bewitch Pei Qing under the guise of attacking the city around the clock, so that Pei Qing did not know the news that the main force of the Xiliang Army attacked Chang'an, Li Dao gave them the task of three days, as long as they successfully dragged Pei Qing for three days, they would be considered the first merit, and Li Dao also solemnly explained that in order to achieve the goal, they need to do whatever it takes, it doesn't matter if the army is lost, Li Dao will definitely help them replenish their troops at that time.

Li Meng and Wang Fang knew that in this case, they would have a chance of winning only if they did their best to attack the city and not let Pei Qing see the flaws, otherwise, they would wait for the attack of their soldier Pei Qing and the punishment of Li Dao Guo Yan.

So they did their best, after Li Dao and Guo Yan left, they attacked Xinfeng City day and night, although they lost four or five thousand people from last night to now, but their hearts were very excited, because today is the next day, as long as they hold on until tomorrow night, they will successfully complete the task, and until now, Pei Qing has not found any flaws in them at all, because according to Jia Xu's orders, they have planted more banners among the siege soldiers, and it seems that the army is fifty or sixty thousand.

"There are still five miles ahead of our camp, everyone go back and have a good rest, wait until the evening and then go to attack the city, don't doubt our decision, we promise to set foot on the wall of Chang'an the day after tomorrow, by that time each of you will be a hero, you will be awarded an official position, you will be rewarded, and the golden beauties will not be less!"

In order to mobilize morale, or to deceive the soldiers to fight hard to attack the city and earn fame for them, Li Meng and Wang Fang also used all means to deceive the soldiers, in their opinion, they only need to fight two more battles, and the task will be completed, and they will have at least more than 10,000 people left, but in exchange for fame and fortune, it is also worth it.

However, at this moment, I could only hear the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves behind me, and all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army couldn't help but turn around and look back, Li Meng and Wang Fang were even more surprised, they didn't know at all, which army would come here at this time? Could it be that Li Dao and Guo Yan have already captured Chang'an, and then come to their aid?

However, it didn't take long for them to be calm, because the army that came was flying the banner of the imperial court officers and soldiers, and the words "Xinfeng Du Pei" were clearly written on the big banner in the middle.

"It's not good, the enemy is attacking, there is an enemy attack, quickly form a formation to meet the enemy!" Seeing this scene, Li Meng and Wang Fang both changed color and immediately ordered to meet the enemy.

However, at this time, when the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were tired, their armor was unloaded, and they were lazy on their horses, plus they had just been defeated and retreated, and their morale was extremely low, and they heard that Pei Qing, who they were most afraid of, led the army to chase and kill, where did they have any intention to meet the enemy? So the first reaction was to gallop towards the camp, and in their opinion, as long as they entered the camp and closed the gate, they were safe.

Li Meng and Wang Fang's order was given in order to allow the soldiers to form a formation to resist, but they did not expect that the soldiers would ignore their orders and run towards the camp.

"You, how dare you disobey my military orders?" As the main general, Li Meng was ashamed and angry, but when he saw that the soldiers were fleeing, he could only sigh and flee with the soldiers.

But now these people do not have a formation, they are running around without discipline, and they naturally collide and trample on each other, and even the soldiers behind are angry because they think that the people in front of them are blocking their way of escape, and in anger they wield spears and sabers to slash the soldiers in front of them in order to escape.

In this way, this army was completely chaotic, and before Pei Qing's army arrived, it was already a mess here, and after Pei Qing led the crowd to kill, these Xiliang soldiers who were separated and surrounded immediately chose to surrender without any backbone.

For these surrendered Xiliang sergeants, Pei Qing did not refuse to come, and allowed them to surrender, because he knew that he was about to leave here, whether it was to Chang'an or back to Yingchuan, of course it would be good to bring some more people back, because these are all Xiliang elites, and as long as they are trained a little in the future, this is a strong force.

Of course, in order to force the other party to surrender, Pei Qing also ruthlessly killed those soldiers of the Xiliang Army who did not announce their surrender, although he has always been in awe of life, but now he has gradually become a little numb, which is mainly caused by the war he has experienced too much in the past few days, and he is used to seeing too many dead people.

"You have no way out, obediently throw away your weapons and surrender, you can still save your life, otherwise there is only one way to die!" Pei Qing rushed to kill while roaring loudly and persuading Sergeant Xiliang to surrender.

The soldiers of Xiliang are now defeated like a mountain, and they have no fighting spirit at all, they saw that many people saved their lives because they gave up resistance and surrendered, and they all did the same, and surrendered one after another, so that more than 10,000 of the more than 20,000 troops chose to surrender, and only one or two thousand people fled into the camp in time, and regardless of the companions behind, they tried their best to close the gate of the village.

However, when they returned to the camp, they found that they were even more miserable now, because they were already caged birds, and they could not fly with wings.

Under these circumstances, the soldiers who were almost in collapse rushed to the camp of Li Meng and Wang Fang, killed both of them, and opened the gate to surrender to Pei Qing.

At this time, the 30,000 troops left behind by Li Dao Guo Yan were all wiped out, of which seven or eight thousand were killed in battle, five or six thousand died because of their own trampling and stabbing in the back, and two or three thousand people scattered and fled, and the remaining 12,300 people chose to surrender and became Pei Qing's prisoners.
