Yan Liang withdrew his army, and he withdrew in a hurry, leaving an army of 50,000 to block Xi Zhicai, and then he retreated in a hurry with the army.

Xi Zhicai did not rush to pursue, and even let Yan Liang leave.

His target was not Yan Liang's army, Yan Liang was still carrying 200,000 troops when he left, and Xi Zhicai couldn't eat it at all.

Xi Zhicai stopped the attack and waited for Yan Liang's army to leave.

Three hours later, when the sky was about to dawn, Xi Zhi suddenly dispatched a large army to surround the enemy's barracks.

After the encirclement, Xi Zhicai was not in a hurry to attack.

"Listen to the Yuan army inside, you are surrounded, and at the same time you are also abandoned, Pinggu County and even the entire Yuyang County have been captured by our main attack, Yan Liang retreated in a hurry, you stay and die."

Xi Zhicai ordered the soldiers to shout, over and over again, and kept shouting for a long time, and Xi Zhicai didn't plan to do anything.

"Really?"

"Can't we go back?"

"Is the back road really broken?"

......

Many soldiers began to waver.

"Don't listen to them, whoever dares to spread rumors will be killed."

Several generals were frightened, fearing that these words would seriously affect the morale of the army if they circulated in the barracks.

But the more severely it is forbidden tomorrow, the more convinced the soldiers are that it is true.

Xi Zhicai was the first to attack the heart, and deliberately opened an opening so that they could exchange news with the outside world.

At the same time, Xi Zhi asked the soldiers to shout, tell them all kinds of signs, and let them speculate.

The soldiers listened to Xi Zhicai's words, speculated carefully, and became more and more sure that there was a big problem in their rear.

"Yes, the situation is very good, we could have directly attacked Liaodong, how can we say that we will retreat, and we will retreat in such a hurry."

"Oh, this Zhang Yu is really powerful, and there are still extra troops to attack us."

"General Yan has run away, what are we doing here."

The soldiers began to waver.

The generals of the Yuan army were no longer able to stop all kinds of rumors, and the spread of rumors was to keep morale low.

After another half a day, the soldiers began to become agitated, and the situation of the howling camp could occur at any time.

"Almost, attack with all your might."

Xi Zhi saw that the timing was almost right and launched a fierce attack.

Either you don't attack, or you have to deal a single blow and crush the enemy with the fiercest advance.

On the other side, Yan Liang threw down 50,000 soldiers and horses there, and then quickly withdrew his troops, running more than 100 miles in one day.

In fact, he can be faster, but he is afraid of being ambushed, so he does not dare to consume too much of the soldier's physical strength, and pays attention to rest along the way.

There was no ambush on the first day.

However, an army was coming in the direction of Yan Liang, and it was expected that the two armies would meet in two days.

This army was Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry.

Zhang Yu asked Huang Zhong to break away from his army and go to Youbeiping County to ambush Yan Liang's retreating army.

Huang Zhong only had about 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it was a little difficult to ambush Yan Liang's 200,000 army.

But it was no problem to delay his actions and take the opportunity to eat Yan Liang's few soldiers and horses.

Unable to ambush his army, they delayed his movements.

Zhang Yu still needs more time to arrange, and at the same time, he also needs to slowly consume Yan Liang's soldiers and horses, otherwise Zhang Yu will not be able to eat Yan Liang's army at all.

Yan Liang was cautious along the way, because he knew Zhang Yu's temperament and liked sneak attacks the most.

Yan Liang did not dare to march at night.

The next day, Yan Liang walked for another day, and at the same time did not encounter the enemy.

But the 50,000 soldiers and horses he left behind were almost overwhelmed.

Xi Zhi saw that the time was ripe and launched a fierce attack.

There were no casualties in that fierce attack.

A large number of casualties did not change the strategy, that is, to use the most fierce attacks, even if it was a life with the enemy.

At first, Yuan Jun was able to resist, but Xi Zhicai was too crazy.

Several armies kept pounding violently, not caring at all about casualties.

In one day's attack, Yuan's army lost more than 13,000 people, and Xi Zhicai's soldiers and horses suffered similar casualties.

could have continued to hold on, but it was not unreasonable for Xi Zhicai to use a day to demoralize them.

The soldiers saw no hope and were abandoned, and their morale was further demoralized.

When someone wants to run away, when they want to surrender, the army loses control.

"Surrender, we surrender."

"No fight, no fight, I'm going home."

"I'm going home."

After a day and a night, the remaining Yuan army surrendered.

At the end of the battle, Xi Zhicai spent two days and one night to eliminate the 50,000 troops left by Yuan's army.

Of course, they lost more than 17,000 troops.

But the battle was no longer concerned with casualties.

"Leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the prisoners, and the rest follow me to pursue Yan Liang." As soon as the war ended, Xi Zhicai gave the order to march.

The army regrouped and then slaughtered Yan Liang.

Yan Liang wanted them to block the back for five days, but they were wiped out in less than three days.

At this time, Yan Liang was very sad, his soldiers already knew the news of the attack on Pinggu County, no matter how big it was, he could only hide it for a few days, after all, he couldn't hide it.

Zhang Yu would not let him hide it, and naturally spread the news along the road.

On the third day, Yan Liang continued to hurry.

Walked for a long time.

"Newspaper"

"Report, General, a cavalry is coming to our rear."

When Yan Liang was hurrying, he was also very surprised when he suddenly heard a cavalry coming from behind them.

"Prepare the whole army to stop them." Yan Liang ordered.

The whole army moved, divided into several sections, did not get together, and when they got together, there would be a crowded stampede.

"The reaction is quite fast, so let you go." Huang Zhong saw that they were preparing quickly and had no chance of sneak attack, so he took the soldiers and horses around in a circle and bypassed them.

After bypassing, Huang Zhong did not leave, but circled around.

Yan Liang's eyes were full of fire, what was this for.

Of course, Huang Zhong came to sneak attack, and since he couldn't sneak attack, he delayed their actions.

The two sides were deadlocked for more than an hour, Huang Zhong did not take any action, and Yan Liang did not dare to move.

"Bastard, fooled." Yan Liang reacted, this must be used by the enemy to slow down their march.

But what if you know, it was more than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 heavy cavalry, Yan Liang dared to care?

If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy for the heavy cavalry to ambush, if Huang Zhong had ambushed well and attacked suddenly, then their losses would have been absolutely large.

In the end, Yan Liang was on guard, and then began to march again, but Huang Zhong immediately followed.

"Damn." Yan Liang realized the danger and had to stop Huang Zhong.

He immediately sent an army to drive Huang Zhong away, but Huang Zhong did not confront them, and left after making contact.

After expelling them several times, Huang Zhong and the others did not have the physical strength to follow anymore, because the heavy cavalry was too physically demanding, not only the physical strength of the people, but also the horses had to bear great pressure.

However, Huang Zhong and their goal had been achieved, and it would be dark soon, and Yan Liang and they couldn't go far, and they walked more than fifty miles in one day.
