Chapter 573: The Xiang Clan's Great Victory

The arrows did not have long eyes, and the moment they fell, countless soldiers and horses fell in pools of blood.

"Kill, kill!"

In the rear of the Jingzhou army, there were countless shouts of killing, and thousands of troops and horses were charging.

"Shi Wengong is here, the dog thief surrenders and will not be killed!" The leading general on the left side of the Xiang army is Shi Wengong, who is carrying a red tasseled spear.

"Xiang Zhuang is here!" The leader on the right side will be a member of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yu's cousin, Xiang Yan's grandson, and Xiang Zhuang holding a long lance.

And the general who led the Chinese army was Xiang Yan himself, and next to Xiang Yan there was a handsome general with a big bow and arrow bag and a spear, he was Zhong Liyi.

"Quick, defend against the enemy, get on the horse and defend against the enemy!" Huang Zu hurriedly shouted.

The soldiers of the Jingzhou army had no way to retreat, they were scurrying around, and the cavalry was looking for their horses, but the rain of arrows just now caused the horses to die, and the frightened were frightened and fled everywhere.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Xiang army with a murderous aura, killed in the Jingzhou army formation, the flat and open ground made the Xiang army's charge, like walking on the ground, in an instant in front of the Jingzhou army, and at this time the Jingzhou army finally organized a limited cavalry team.

"Poof......

But as soon as the two armies collided, the Jingzhou army was dealt a heavy blow, blood flew sideways, people turned over on their backs, and the corpses were separated, which was unbearable.

The hasty response to the battle made the Jingzhou army lose its proportion, lose its formation, and lose its combat effectiveness, and the charge of the Xiang army was like entering a no-man's land, unstoppable, and the powerful combat effectiveness was not something that these Jingzhou troops who were pampered and pampered on weekdays could resist.

The confrontation between the Xiang army, which had experienced a hundred battles, and the Jingzhou army, which had only fought once in several years, and even some people had never been on the battlefield, was tragic and one-sided, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army were all flustered and confused when the war came.

A covert massacre is quietly underway......

"General, we have encountered an ambush, and the army outside the city has suffered heavy losses." The battle outside the city soon spread to the inside of the city.

"Tell me to go down, leave a team of people to continue to clear out the rest and kill the rest with General Ben." Wen Ping made a decision immediately and ordered to be killed.

But at this time, the situation outside the city was completely out of control, when Wen Ping led people to kill out, the Jingzhou army was defeated and retreated, fleeing to the city, and the outside of the city was full of the corpses of the Jingzhou army, the main general Huang Zu and Liu Pan were killed by Shi Wengong and Zhong Liyi one after another.

"Don't panic, don't panic, kill me, kill out." Looking at the Jingzhou army that kept fleeing into the city and did not resist at all, Wen Ping shouted angrily, but Wen Ping's shouting did not work at all, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army continued to squeeze into the city, and the narrow city gate was blocked in a few clicks, and the soldiers who were still squeezing behind were killed in cold blood.

"Fight back! Fight back, kill back. Wen Ping, who was squeezed into the crowd, shouted angrily.

But at this time, where did the Jingzhou army know to counterattack, they had already collapsed, they only knew how to flee, and they couldn't raise the mind to fight at all.

The crowded city gate is still crowding, and even some soldiers were mistakenly killed by their comrades in the process of crowding, while the Xiang army behind was constantly strangling the soldiers who were crowding towards the city gate and fleeing in all directions.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Wen Ping knew that these soldiers had no intention of resisting, so they could only give up leaving the city and let the soldiers behind them retreat.

As soon as the people of Wen Ping retreated, the soldiers crowded at the city gate poured into the city like a flood, and in the process there were frequent accidents, many soldiers were pushed directly, and then under the trampling of the soldiers behind them, there were no corpses, and the city gate was killed and injured in an instant.

Finally those who could come in came in, an accident caused by a rout caused a hill to pile up at the narrow city gate, the entire city gate was full of corpses, and the death was extremely tragic, the Xiang army outside the city did not kill in, but surrounded the city, not giving the city a chance to escape.

Two hours later, the Jingzhou army outside the city was cleared, and after this battle, the Jingzhou army killed tens of thousands of people, but what is even more tragic is that there are thousands of Jingzhou soldiers who were mistakenly killed by their own people, and thousands of people surrendered.

This battle was a fiasco for the Jingzhou army, only half an hour of frontal resistance, it collapsed, the lord was killed, fled in all directions, did not dare to fight, and let others slaughter.

"Order all the archers to release arrows into the city to avenge the death of their brothers in battle." Xiang Yan instructed Zhong Liyi.

"No!"

……

After a while, Zhong Liyi organized archers to surround the city.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a command, countless arrows flew over the city walls and into the city.

The Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall watched the arrows fly into the city to harvest the lives of the Jingzhou soldiers, and there were thousands of soldiers who originally stayed in the city, plus the people who fled in, the whole city was crowded, and there were people everywhere.

"Put it again!"

A new round of arrows were fired from outside the city, and the losses inside the city increased again. Countless soldiers crowded to those places where they could withstand the arrows.

"Put it again!"

The third round of arrows did not reap the effect of the first two rounds, only some of the soldiers who did not hide were hit, and most of the soldiers escaped the catastrophe.

After three rounds of arrow rain, Xiang Yan ordered to stop firing arrows, and Xiang Yan understood that almost all the people in the city who could be shot at this time were hit by arrows, and the rest of the people were also hiding.

"Tell me to go down and surround this city, and not a single person can be released, there is no food or water in the city, and they will not be able to hold out for long."

"No!"

……

Two days later,

By this time, the city had been cleared, and the bodies had been moved into the pit and buried.

On this day, the gates of the city were full of troops, and they were lined up on both sides, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, the city gate opened, and a weak and tired Jingzhou soldier slowly walked out of the city.

It was obvious that the Jingzhou army in the city could not stand the hunger, thirst, pain, and stench, and surrendered, so they surrendered to Xiang Yan under the leadership of Wen Ping, and more than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers laid down their weapons and walked out of the city.

……

Gyeyang-gun, the county seat,

"Lord Zhao, what's wrong? Can you find out the whereabouts of the three generals of Huang Zu? Lai Hu'er hurried to Zhao Fan's house to inquire about the news of Huang Zu and others.

"I'm afraid it's more auspicious, my people can't get in when they go, according to them, Xiang's army is carrying corpses, and most of those corpses are the corpses of our army." Zhao Fan said helplessly.

"Alas, I knew that this was the result, where would Xiang Yan's decades-long expedition to the south and north be so easy to deal with, and now that the 30,000 army is gone, several of them have lost their lives." Laihu'er said hatefully.

"What do you think the next move will be?" Zhao Fan immediately asked.

"Lord Zhao, you immediately pass on the matter here to Lord Governor and ask for reinforcements. Ben led the rest of the army to hold the city and wait for reinforcements. Lai Hu'er said helplessly.

"Could it be that General Feilai thinks that Guiyang can't be saved?" Zhao Fan asked in surprise.

"This matter is still uncertain, I will do my best to defend Guiyang, but the outcome can only be left to fate." Laihu'er said hesitantly.

"Come to the general, please come to the Xiaguan's mansion tonight, and the Xiaguan has something important to discuss with the general." Zhao Fan made a decision in his heart.

"Good!" Lai Hu'er agreed without hesitation, because there was something in Zhao's mansion that Lai Hu'er would never forget.

At night, Laihu'er was invited into the house by Zhao Fan.

"Serve!"

Zhao Fan took Laihu'er to the hall, and soon the same delicacies were brought up.

"Go and ask the eldest lady to come over." Zhao Fan, after coming to Hu'er to serve the table, Zhao Fan instructed his subordinates.

This eldest lady is not Zhao Fan's wife, but Zhao Fan's late brother's wife, Zhao Fan's sister-in-law.

This sister-in-law's surname is Fan, don't look at Zhao Fan is nearly forty years old, but his sister-in-law Fan is only thirty years old, it is the age of Fengyun, this Fan is beautiful like a flower, graceful, and has an extremely outstanding temperament, many officials in Jingzhou have ideas about it, Laihu'er is one of them, after meeting Fan's for the first time in Guiyang, Laihu'er was attracted by its graceful figure, and Laihu'er also let Huang Zu and others not fight Fan's idea.

And this matter naturally reached Zhao Fan's ears.

"I've seen my uncle, come to the general!"
