Li Le, who was seriously injured, couldn't stop Xu Huang's third knife at all, and his head flew out with the flying blood mist.

The panting Xu Huang shouted, "The thief chief is the head, and those who abandon weapons will not die!" This shout soon spread throughout the entire narrow battlefield, the Xiliang army that turned from defense to attack was offensive, and the soldiers were all moving forward bravely, while the defeated Bai Bo army was demoralized to the extreme, after Li Le was killed, he had no will to continue to resist, and turned around one after another to flee, and those Bai Bo soldiers who could not escape could only discard their blades and surrender on their knees.

Kui Tong, whose face was splashed with blood, trotted over, looked at Xu Huang, who was standing with a knife and recovering his strength, and asked:

"Sima, we have successfully crossed the river, and the bonfire has been lit, presumably the two Simas Cao and Zhai upstream and downstream will also take advantage of the situation to attack, should we rush upstream or downstream?"

When Xu Huang was on the battlefield before, when he was on the battlefield to kill the white wave thief Qu Shuai, because the situation was urgent, he used too much force, and his arm was a little out of strength, but now when he heard Kui Tong's inquiry, he waved his arm, smiled reluctantly, and said:

"No, we don't go upstream, we don't go downstream, take advantage of the thief chieftain to give the head, the morale of the white wave thieves is declining, I intend to lead the army to drive directly to Linfen City!"

Xu Huang's indifferent tone seemed to be discussing an ordinary matter, but when he heard Kui Tong's ears, it was like a thunderstorm, their strength was only a thousand, although they were all selected elites, but they had just fought a bloody battle, defeated several times their own thieves, and their own men and horses were also damaged.

And right now in their vicinity, there are nearly 10,000 white wave thieves defending the riverbank, at this time give up and attack them with the friendly troops on the other side, but go deep alone, to storm Linfen City, and take the city is naturally a great achievement, but if they can't take Linfen City, then they will be under siege, and then they want to withdraw their troops to the other side, but I am afraid that they will not be able to.

Kui Tong has both some admiration and some worry about Xu Huang's long-distance tactics.

What I admire is that Xu Huang's courage is extraordinary, just now he was the first soldier, not afraid of arrows, and forced to cross the Fenshui, they were able to turn the crisis into safety, and they also defeated the large number of white wave thieves.

What worries them is that the situation that has just been reversed cannot afford to be tossed and turned, once the siege fails, not only will they die without a place to be buried, but the whole army's plan to cross the river will also be abandoned, and it is absolutely impossible to launch a large-scale attack on crossing the river in the short term.

With this complicated mood, Kui Tong looked at Xu Huang, not knowing what to say, in the newly revised "Infantry Battle Order", in addition to emphasizing the military discipline and regulations during the war, it also strictly affirmed the absolute authority of the wartime commander, Kui Tong pursed his lips, and was thinking about how to euphemistically advise Xu Huang beside him.

And Xu Huang saw that Kui Tong's face was hesitant, but he had already seen through what he was thinking, he smiled freely, and said directly:

"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade anymore. There is a cloud in the art of war: 'Where the battlefield of war, the place of corpses, if you die, you will live, and if you are lucky, you will die. His good generals are like sitting in a leaky boat, and burning down the house, so that the wise will not be able to plan, and the brave will not be angry, and the enemy will be affected.'" Tonight's things are also the same principle, there is no advance or retreat, if you die, you will live, and the son should be encouraged! ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang patted Kui Tong on the shoulder, then pulled out his sword and ordered all the soldiers who could continue to fight, drive away the surrendered Bai Bo prisoners, light only a small number of torches, and rush towards Linfen City at full speed.

Kui Tong gritted his teeth, and hurriedly followed, helping Xu Huang organize the attack of the soldiers.

A lone team disappeared into the vast night without hesitation.

That night, Xu Huang only led a thousand soldiers under his department, forcibly crossed the Fenshui, with fewer enemies, first defeated the five thousand cavalry led by Li Le, and then drove the soldiers, before the upstream and downstream Baibo defenders withdrew to Linfen City, forcibly attacked Linfen City, filled the ravines with prisoners, burned the city gates, broke the city in one fell swoop, and took Linfen City.

After the upstream and downstream Baibo defenders found that Linfen City was on fire, they had no intention of fighting again, and led the army to retreat.

The fighting on the west bank of Fenshui burned all night.

···

After the war, the Xiliang army carried out an inventory, captured 50,000 stone grain and grass in Linfen City, a number of baggage armor staffs, captured more than 7,000 Bai Bo soldiers, beheaded more than 2,000, and the most important thing is that Xu Huang beheaded Li Le, one of the commanders of Bai Bo Qu, which can be said to be the first big victory since Bai Bo invaded Hedong County in the spring.

Yan Xing originally learned that the three Sima were on the east bank of Fenshui, and he planned to recruit the whole army, personally lead the soldiers and horses, and go to support Xu Huang and others, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, the good news had been sent back, and the three Sima had won a great victory in Fenshui, and Linfen City had been captured.

Yan Xing, who got this news, was surprised and happy in his heart, Linfen is a big city, and Fenshui is a natural line of defense, it is not easy to attack Linfen, so Yan Xing's idea is to let the three Sima first confront the white wave thieves in front of the attrition, and when the white wave army's garrison is lax for a long time, he will personally lead the whole army to make overall arrangements and break through the Fenshui defense line of the white wave thieves in one fell swoop.

Now, Xu Huang and the others have won more with less, not only breaking through the Fenshui defense line, but even taking Linfen City, and the results are so fruitful and swift that Yan Xing, who first heard the news, couldn't help but applaud.

Subsequently, Yan Xing announced the good news of the recovery of Linfen in Jiangyi, and on the other hand, he sent a fast horse Lubu to report the victory, transmitted it back to Anyi, and personally led the 500 men and horses of the Chinese army to Linfen City to inspect the front army.

Along the way, Xu Huang's soldiers, who had experienced the whole battle, served as a guide, and told Yan Xing how Xu Huang and the other two Sima had planned to attract most of the defenders of the White Wave Thieves to the upper and lower reaches.

When the soldiers talked about Xu Huang's troops smuggling Fenshui from the weakly defended middle reaches and crossing the river halfway, Li Le suddenly arrived with 5,000 horsemen, and the situation instantly became precarious, Yan Xing couldn't help but change his color, and chose to cross the river by boat from the middle reaches to inspect this battlefield where fierce fighting took place.

Looking at the remaining clusters of broken spears and arrows on the riverbank, listening to the soldiers' narration of how Xu Huang was in danger and took the lead, leading the soldiers who waded across the river to speed up the landing, and exerted great might, defeated the Baibo thieves who were several times more than his own, and beheaded the heroic deeds of Li Le, the commander of the Baibo Canal, Yan Xing asked himself if he was to be the commander himself, and he could not do better than Xu Huang in terms of making decisions and decisively.

After the soldiers finally finished speaking, Xu Huang took the soldiers who had just regained their disadvantage in the bloody battle, drove straight in, filled the ravines, burned the city gates, broke the city in one fell swoop, and captured Linfen, Yan Xing had also come to the outside of Linfen with soldiers and horses.

Xu Huang personally went out of the city to greet him, Yan Xing looked at the soldiers under Xu Huang's department who were full of fighting spirit and high spirits, and then looked at Xu Huang, who was still humble, caressed his broad back affectionately, and said with emotion:

"The white wave thief is ten times more than Jun, Sima is more and more energetic, and he wins the battle, so he is surrounded by thieves and beheaded many prisoners. In the past, Sun Wu led the Wu army to attack Yingdu, and today Sima Chang drove straight in, and set up Linfen, the spirit of courage is not inferior to the former sages, I have Linfen, and the merit of Sima is also! ”

Subsequently, Yan Xing rewarded the soldiers who had made great contributions in this battle in Linfen City, and began to arrange many things after the war.

At present, it is already October, and winter is coming soon, in order to stabilize the Linfen City that has just been defeated, and contain the Baibo army besieging Pi's, Yan Xing also needs to send troops and horses to continue to threaten Pingyang, Xiangling and other places, and make signs of cutting off the main Baibo army besieging Pi's, so as to force the Baibo army to return to the division to save itself, untie the siege of Pi's, advance the defense line to the north of Fenshui, and connect Pi's and Linfen, the two important cities defending the Baibo army, to ensure the stability of this entire defense line.

After thinking about this task, Yan Xing decided to hand it over to Zhai Hao's troops and horses, and the Xiliang cavalry under his command came and went like the wind, which was suitable for harassing the enemy and tired the enemy, and destroying the crops of the Baibo army's fields and plundering the population of the Baibo army, which also needed Zhai Hao's Xiliang soldiers to do.

After arranging the matter of dealing with foreign enemies, Yan Xing soon had to start the construction of internal affairs. Although it was judged that the Baibo army had been weak in the offensive this year, and if Pi's could not attack, it would be impossible for there to be other major movements in the next winter, but for the sake of next year's war, Yan Xing still needed to take precautions and complete the deployment of the defense of Linfen City as soon as possible before the winter.

Although Xu Huang's troops achieved fruitful results, the casualties of soldiers and horses also exceeded 30%, and they had to withdraw to Jiangyi for repair and replenish their troops in time, so Yan Xing decided to hand over the defense of Linfen to Cao Yuan's department.

Linfen City has gone through several wars in recent years, the city wall has been damaged in some places, and the city gate has just been burned down by Xu Huang and his troops, and it is urgent to repair the city fortifications.

These seizures in the city, except for those who were rewarded, the rest of Yan Xing were prepared to be left to Cao Yuan's department, and in the future, civilian servants and baggage would be transferred from Jiangyi to supplement the soldiers and horses of Cao Yuan's department.

In addition, the land in Linfen is fertile, Li Le was originally a local hero, so under his rule, at least there has not been a large-scale killing of the people, some fields near the city have also resumed farming, Yan Xing intends to grab some wheat and autumn mushrooms, but there are not enough people at hand to be responsible, Zheng Duo, Huang Po and a few other scribes organized the autumn harvest, autumn planting, displaced people and other issues in Jiangyi, they are already busy, Xi Zhicai is not only a talent for military strategy, but also Yan Xing's henchman and think tank, and it is not suitable to be placed in Linfen. It is used to take care of civil affairs.

In desperation, Yan Xing could only hand over these burdens to Cao Yuan's department.

At this point, many things in Linfen after the war were all handed over to the three Simas, and after Yan Xing completed the overall arrangement, he hurriedly left Linfen with the Chinese soldiers and horses, crossed the Fenshui, and returned to Jiangyi.

Jiangyi's agricultural affairs are in charge of Zheng Duo, Huang Po and others, and there are Ma Lin, Yan Xing and others to assist in military affairs, and the powerful surnames in the city are intimidated by Yan Xing's prestige and soldiers, and they respond to requests, and the county temple is now all over Yan Xing's eyes and ears, Yan Xing does not have to worry too much about it for the time being, just need to explain the deployment of military supplies and manpower to Linfen, and then you can spare your energy and time to deal with other things.

At present, the external situation in Hedong County can be regarded as relatively smooth for Yan Xing, and the Bai Bo army has finally suffered setbacks in recent months after a series of sieges in Kaichun, which is not only due to the sudden rise of Yan Xing's troops and horses on the Jiangyi side, but also determined by the nature of the Bai Bo army's troops and horses.

Although Guo Tai is known as "Guo Daxian" and played the title of "Great Sage and Good Teacher" by Zhang Jiao, the White Bo Army has a huge difference in nature from the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao is based on the political goal of "the sky is dead, and the Yellow Sky should stand", and the main force is a group of Taiping believers who are determined to overthrow the Han dynasty and establish the Taiping world, and the White Bo Army is composed of some grass and homeless people, and then join some small families and heroes.

Their purpose in conquering cities was only to meet their own personal needs, and they had no clear political purpose, so after taking the northern border of Hedong County, the momentum of the Baibo army's continued external expansion from top to bottom also weakened.

Just like Li Le, he was originally a strong man in Linfen, and after joining the Baibo Army, he became one of the few commanders who occupied the territory of Linfen, and his eyes fell on Linfen, which is a third of an acre, if it weren't for Yan Xing's soldiers and horses to take the initiative to attack Linfen, he was afraid that according to his cautious character, he would not easily cross Fenshui again to attack Jiangyi.

Therefore, this Baibo army is obviously much easier to deal with than Qingxu's Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army in Hebei, Yan Xing and Xi Zhicai have discussed, according to the current situation, only a few more battles will be needed in the coming year to be able to settle the overall situation, if the Baibo army does not repeat its old tricks, flee to Taiyuan and Xihe, and continue to choose to fight to the death with Yan Xing's troops and horses, it will definitely be defeated.

After Yan Xing had a grasp of this situation, seeing that the war was about to end one after another, he also needed to turn his eyes to the treacherous Anyi, Luoyang, Chang'an and other places behind him.

After all, at the beginning of Yan Xing's tenure, he killed the head of Shoujiangyi sent by the Hedong County Government, and then executed a number of military officials from Sima to the Hedong County soldiers.

And the war in Luoyang is related to the general trend of the world, and the personnel relationship of the Chang'an court is a focus of Yan Xing's secret attention.

These things made Yan Xing have to leave behind the military and political affairs of Jiangyi and Linfen, and rush back to Anyi before the winter, and meet with Zhonglang General Niu Fu to prevent the fire in his backyard, and to ensure that his prediction and knowledge of the situation have not exceeded the scope of his original memory.

So, Yan Xing led the Chinese soldiers and horses, and Xi Zhicai and others, carrying heavy gold treasures, and began to follow the original road to Hedong and Jiangyi, and went to Anyi.
