Compared with the panic of the low-level soldiers, the performance of Dong Zhang and other major generals was not much better than them.

In the mouths of those low-level soldiers, the Wu army has tens of thousands of iron cavalry just for the forward, and the news that Dong Zhang got is much more specific, not only knowing that the forward cavalry of the Wu army is not tens of thousands of people as rumored, but 5,000 cavalry, but also learning that Wang Yanzhang has been captured by the Wu army.

It turned out that after the Wu army captured Wang Yanzhang on the first day, they continued to move forward to capture Shouzhang; After Shouzhang, he marched for more than 20 miles, and then stopped to rest.

Yang Wu ordered some of the Liang soldiers captured in the previous battle with Wang Yanzhang to be released, and told these captives the news that the Wu army was about to attack, and threatened them that the Wu army had as many as 100,000 troops, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry in the front alone, which was unstoppable.

Yang Wu's purpose was obviously achieved, and early this morning, when these captives arrived at the Liang army camp, the rumors quickly spread throughout the military camp, making the Liang army officers and soldiers obviously panic.

At this time, the Wu army, which had rested for a night, killed the Liang army camp as fast as possible, without giving the Liang army any time to prepare.

Ruthless, so ruthless!

Dong Zhang was afraid at the same time, but also had a sense of déjà vu, and only after thinking about it carefully did he remember, isn't this the trick that Li Cunxian used to scare Zhu Wen at the beginning?

At the beginning, Li Cunxian also released the prisoners before attacking the camp of the Liang army, and let them spread rumors to intimidate the Liang army, and then suddenly launched an attack when the Liang army was uncertain, and finally won a complete victory, using a false news to scare Zhu Wen into fleeing for 150 miles overnight, and finally fell seriously ill in shame and anger.

And now the Wu army also released prisoners before attacking to frighten the Liang army.

Of course, the current situation is still different from the beginning, Li Cunxian was completely scaring people at the beginning, but now the Wu army really has a strong strength, at least the five thousand cavalry as the vanguard can be determined.

With these 5,000 cavalry, the more than 6,000 demoralized remnants in his hands were no match for him.

It can't be beaten, if you escape, the terrain near Yuncheng is flat, there are no ups and downs, such terrain is most suitable for cavalry galloping, plus the enemy army is only more than ten miles away from them, and it won't take long to arrive at the speed of cavalry.

How could they, the two-legged infantryman, escape from the four-legged cavalry?

Hit, can't beat; Escape, and you can't escape.

The only option left is to hold on and stand by.

However, if you stick to it and wait for help, although it is Yuncheng nearby, considering the lack of grain and grass reserves in Yuncheng, it can only supply the army for five days at most, and if the reinforcements cannot arrive within five days, they will be unable to fly.

The question is, will reinforcements arrive in five days?

Dong Zhang's heart was full of suspicions, but at this time he had no choice, because the enemy army was coming.

"Order all the troops to move to Yuncheng immediately, the speed must be fast, and it must be before the enemy army arrives!" Dong Zhang didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly gave an order.

However, it was obvious that his order was given a little too late, and when the generals of the various departments had just conveyed his order, and some of the soldiers were leaving the camp as a group, preparing to go to Yuncheng according to the order, the sound of horses' hooves was already heard in the distance.

"Boom!"

"Kill!"

Amid the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, there were shouts of slaughter from time to time, and countless cavalry galloped towards the camp at great speed, obviously they were already making a final charge.

This scene caused by the galloping of thousands of cavalry made the soldiers of the Liang army suddenly panic even more.

"It's not good, withdraw it!"

"Oh, flee back to the city!"

"Don't block the road in front of you, disperse quickly!"

……

Many generals panicked, and various orders flocked to them, making the soldiers even more panicked.

For a time, the Liang army in the entire camp was in chaos, some wanted to return to the camp to hold on, some planned to flee to Yuncheng to rely on the city to hold on, some climbed over the walled wall and prepared to be a deserter directly, of course, there were a few people who had given up resistance and were ready to surrender to the Wu army.

Only he was not prepared to stand up to resist the Wu army at this time, even Dong Zhang, who was the chief general, was only thinking about how to escape back to Yuncheng at this time, not how to resist the Wu army.

At this time, the army was in chaos, and staying to resist was like sending him to death, Dong Zhang was not so stupid.

In addition, it is not impossible to abandon the army and flee alone, although his command is mainly infantry, but he and his guards have horses to ride.

If he had abandoned the army and fled directly under the escort of the guards, he would still have the confidence to flee back.

It's just that after abandoning the army, what can he do even if he escapes back? Without the support of the army, his position in the Liang State was also worrisome.

The last time the siege of Songzhou was defeated, there were many criticisms in the DPRK and China, believing that his behavior of leaving the army and fleeing alone at a critical moment was a serious dereliction of duty; If he leaves the army behind and flees alone this time, who knows what he will face when he returns to Luoyang.

Seeing that the enemy army had already been killed, Dong Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "Pass the order, knock down the wall, and everyone flee back to Yuncheng as quickly as possible and hold on to waiting for help." ”

……

In the distance, Shi Hongyi, who personally led the troops to charge, saw that the enemy army in front of him was in chaos, and immediately rushed straight towards the chaotic enemy camp.

"Brothers, rush with Ben." He screamed wildly as he took the lead and rushed forward.

"Rush!" With the earth-shattering shouts of killing, two thousand cavalry lined up in two dense rows and rushed into the enemy camp at lightning speed.

"Boom!" The galloping horses and the chaotic soldiers of the Liang army collided with each other, making a loud roar.

For just this moment, I don't know how many Sergeant Liang died.

The roaring cavalry was not entangled with the chaotic Liang army at all, they rushed forward as fast as they could, and the steel knives wielded in their hands were like death descending, constantly reaping the lives of the Liang soldiers.

Behind this wave of cavalry, there was another wave of cavalry, which also rushed in at a very fast speed, launching a new round of charge against the Liang army that had just survived the first wave of cavalry charges.

……

In the distance, Yang Wu stopped and watched the battle with the cavalry in front of him, and the beard of a person beside him was all white, and his body was full of wrapped wounds, this person was Wang Yanzhang, who had not recovered from his injuries.

"General Wang, what do you think Dong Zhang's choice will be next? Will he surrender outright? Or did you leave the army behind and flee alone? Yang Wu asked with a smile.

"The king, Dong Zhang is brave and good at fighting, loyal and righteous, it is impossible for him to surrender, if the king wants him to surrender, it is impossible." Wang Yanzhang replied in a deep voice.

After he was captured yesterday, he quickly fell into a coma because of his serious injuries and fatigue, so Yang Wu ordered someone to bandage his wounds well, and at the same time let people take him forward.

After resting for a night, although Wang Yanzhang has not completely recovered his vitality, after all, he was born as a military general, and his body is thick, so it is no problem to ride a horse and follow the army.

Today, after he woke up, Yang Wu also sent Guo Chongtao to persuade him to persuade him with the words "good birds choose trees and perch", but Wang Yanzhang said: "I, Wang Yanzhang, don't know the book, but I also know the truth that 'the leopard dies and leaves the skin, and the person dies and leaves the name', and now I am too old to serve King Wu anymore." ”

This result did not surprise Yang Wu at all, the only thing that surprised him was that when he personally summoned Wang Yanzhang next, he found that Wang Yanzhang's attitude towards him was still very polite, at least he did not treat Li Cunqiao as he did in history.

However, after thinking about it, Yang Wu understood that Wang Yanzhang had fought with the Jin State for most of his life, and of course he did not have a good impression of the Jin King and others, but he had a better impression of the Wu State.

This made Yang Wu can't help but have the idea of persuading him, but unfortunately it ended in failure after some attempts.

"General Wang thinks that Dong Zhang will not surrender, but he does not think so." At this time, Guo Chongtao said: "Although Dong Zhang's battle back then can be regarded as brave, but that was all back then. The last time he rescued Song Zhou was defeated, if it weren't for the fact that he left the army alone and fled, the losses of the Liang army would not have been so great. ”

"Yes, Dong Zhang has now become a selfish person, he will not have any loyalty, if he immediately escapes with the guards this time, he may be able to escape back to Luoyang; If he chooses to stay, I am afraid that he will surrender to our army in a few days. And it's more likely that he chose to stay. Yang Wu judged.

"Humph!" Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly and did not answer.

Yang Wu smiled and continued to watch the battle with some disapproval.

After capturing Wang Yanzhang, the reason why he marched to Yunzhou with 500 men alone can be understood; So now Yang Wu knows that the internal turmoil in Liang Guo is far more serious than he imagined.

With Zhang Hanjie and Zhao Yan here, Liang Guo is now basically controlled by a group of incompetent people, and those who are capable are difficult to be reused; People like Wang Yanzhang were directly excluded to the point where they could only attack the Wu army with 500 cavalry, which is really emotional.

"King, please look over there, the enemy army seems to be fleeing in the direction of Yuncheng......" At this time, Cheng Xun pointed to the battlefield in the distance and asked Yang Wu and the others.

The camp of the Liang army was not far from Yuncheng, only a little more than a mile away.

The reason why the camp was set up here instead of being stationed in Yuncheng is inseparable from Wang Yanzhang.

At the beginning, the order they received was to rescue Yunzhou and try to lift the siege of Yunzhou, so after Wang Yanzhang led his troops to Yuncheng, he did not choose to enter the city, but built a camp outside the city to facilitate the rapid movement of the army.

After that, although because of Dong Zhang's reasons, the army did not attack Yunzhou according to the previous plan, but the camp was still outside the city and did not move.

Now that Wu Jun suddenly arrived, he immediately caught Liang Jun off guard.

"One mile away, even the infantry army will not be able to arrive in a long time, it seems that Dong Zhang finally chose to stick to the city?" Yang Wu said lightly.

"However, Yuncheng City is short of food and difficult to hold; Dong Zhang's only hope for this is that reinforcements will arrive soon; However, under the current situation, I am afraid that the Liang army will not send reinforcements again. Guo Chongtao said.

Now the main forces of the Liang army are concentrated in the hands of Duan Ning, according to the news that Songzhou just sent this morning, Duan Ning is currently trying to go south to relieve the siege of Xuzhou, and at the same time continue to send troops to attack Bozhou and other places, this arrangement is really incomprehensible.

Whether it is to relieve the siege of Xuzhou or attack Bozhou, in fact, it cannot threaten the Wu army, and by the containment of the Wu army in Songzhou, Duan Ning can divide his troops to relieve the siege of Xuzhou or capture Bozhou.

Therefore, after getting this news, Yang Wu decided to wait for the elimination of Dong Zhang, and the army would rest for a period of time, wait for the battle in the east to be completely over, and then concentrate his forces to march west and eliminate Duan Ning in one fell swoop.

While everyone was talking, the fighting in the camp gradually subsided, and except for some people who fled into Yuncheng with Dong Zhang, most of the Liang army was either wiped out or taken prisoner.

Soon, after Shi Hongyi made a simple count of the battle results, he came to report with a smile on his face: "King, the last general has just made a rough count, the enemy army has been wiped out a total of more than 1,300 people, more than 3,400 have been captured by our army, and the remaining more than 1,000 people have fled to Yuncheng to hold on. As for the seized money, food, and materials, there is no statistics yet. ”

"Well, what about our casualties?" A smile appeared on Yang Wu's face.

"Our army suffered very few casualties, in addition to seventeen killed, seventy-six others were wounded, and more than twenty horses were lost."

Yang Wu nodded, after all, it was a big battle that wiped out thousands of enemy troops, and only seventeen people were killed, so such a small casualty was still acceptable.

He looked at Wang Yanzhang beside him with a smug face, and when he saw that his face was pale, he immediately knew that he must be annoyed by this result in his heart.

"It seems that Wang Yanzhang is still on Liang Guo's side in his heart, and he doesn't have any idea of surrendering." Yang Wu sighed.

It stands to reason that such a result should be in his expectation, but it still makes him feel a little pity that he can't persuade Wang Yanzhang to surrender.

"Okay, leave him alive for the time being, anyway, there's no loss to Lone. Maybe in the future, after the fall of the Liang State, he will surrender. ”

Loyal ministers and good generals are liked by everyone, and Yang Wu is naturally no exception, since he has successfully captured him alive, he naturally has to make some efforts to see if he can persuade him to surrender.

"King, what should I do next, do you want to send someone to persuade Dong Zhang to surrender?" At this time, Guo Chongtao asked.

Yang Wu pondered for a moment and said: "No need for the time being, now that Dong Zhang has just suffered a big defeat, I am afraid that his heart is full of anger and unwillingness, and now he will not consider surrendering; After he calmed down and had an understanding of his situation, it would be much more convenient for us to send someone to persuade him to surrender at that time. ”

"Yes, the king is wise."

"The order went down, and the army looked for a suitable place to camp and sent people to transport the captured baggage to a new camp; In addition, General Shi, you can arrange for all the main roads to be occupied now to prevent Dong Zhang from escaping. Yang Wu ordered.

"The last will obey."
