Sun An saw that he couldn't pretend to be able to do anything, and with a wave of the big sword in his hand, the head of the defending officer went up to the sky. Sun An shouted: "Rush." ”

Two hundred cavalry swooped up and started a fierce battle here in the city gate hole, these two hundred were all the elite of Sun Anbu's army, and the fight was completely fast and ruthless, and it didn't take a second hit to kill people, and the city gate hole was occupied in a few minutes.

Later, Luan Tingyu led a large army to rush up, and there was no one in his hand with an iron rod. The stragglers who fought outside the city to transport food collapsed instantly.

"Leave the captives alone and go into the city." Luan Tingyu led the team to disperse the enemy soldiers transporting grain, and did not entangle, and followed Sun An's team into the city. The battle was not as fierce as imagined, and Sun An and his troops had already entered the city gate more than 100 meters.

"You lead a thousand troops to the city wall, clear the wall of the enemy, and take full control of the city gates. The others follow me to another place. Luan Tingyu said.

Sun An's lieutenant generals Ma Lin and Zhao Long also came to Sun An's side with their troops, and the cavalry divided and surrounded the infantry in the city like tigers.

Sun An stopped to observe the situation and noticed that a small group of enemy troops had gathered against a wall. The order said: "Zhao Long, disperse that enemy army, don't let them gather." Ma Lin led 500 men to dismount and fight on foot to clear the enemy soldiers in the alley. ”

Zhao Long shook the steel gun in his hand and shouted: "Bow and arrow covering." ”

Hundreds of horsemen hung their guns and drew their bows, and hundreds of wolf-tooth arrows flew like locusts. Tian Hujun lacked equipment, shields, helmets, armor, and even less training, watching the feather arrows fly and their legs were weak, poof, puff, and a third of them fell, these hundreds of people were ready to form a formation under the command of the officer to fight against the cavalry, but they didn't expect it to be finished so soon. I want to run, but I can't run, and I can't fight if I want to.

"Surrender, no more fighting." Someone threw away the rudimentary weapon in his hand and surrendered. More people surrendered.

"You can't surrender, kill the dog officer, everyone has food." An officer shouted with a knife.

Zhao Long's steel gun pierced the Tian Hu's officer with a pop, "Surrender and don't kill." ”

Besides, there are no longer a few Tian Hu troops on the city wall, and there are a small number of elites among them, and they have been training for a long time. Luan Tingyu killed people on the street for a while and then led people to the wall, the city wall of the county town is relatively narrow, it is impossible to fight on horse, directly on foot. Both sides fought stubbornly, and the enemy was outnumbered. We bombarded with small melon mines, and people kept falling.

Outside the city wall, there was a sudden sound of whining bullhorns and earth-shattering war drums, followed by countless cavalry rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky, and the banner of the Jeju army fluttered in the wind, shouting and killing to the sky. This is the movement made by Yang Zhi, who was on guard outside the city, and the cavalry of hundreds of people forcibly deduced the formation of tens of thousands of cavalry.

The enemy soldiers on the city wall, who had been very motivated to resist, saw that the general situation was gone, and surrendered one after another.

The battle lasted for more than two hours, more than 4,000 people were captured, more than 1,000 were annihilated, and some of the enemy soldiers fled. Although the sun is just right in Pingding County at noon, there are almost no people on the streets. The soldiers kept fighting fires, carrying corpses, and cleaning the battlefield.

The captives confiscated their weapons to help with the work, after all, it was not a foreign war, so the captives were not particularly afraid.

The Jeju Army repeatedly emphasized that it would not kill if it surrendered, and it waited for processing with peace of mind.

Yang Zhi was a little happy, and then pacified the county town to supply a small number of pigs and sheep to reward the cavalry. The horses also had enough forage to eat openly.

Luan Tingyu said: "Meng County, we have taken down the two county seats, and now there is only one Shouyang left." Shouyang is in charge of collecting grain by An Shirong, the general of the Tianhu Army, and it is a hard bone. ”

Sun An said: "We are also lacking in skills, now An Shirong of Shouyang should have gotten the news a long time ago, once he is prepared, it will be difficult for us to attack again to play the role of cavalry, thinking that his team should be drawn in the direction of Yangquan, it only takes a day and a half for them to enter Yangquan City with grain and grass." ”

Sun An's deputy general Zhao Long said: "I don't know if I should say it or not. ”

Yang Zhidao: "If you have ideas about marching and fighting, it is now a discussion. ”

"I feel that An Shirong is coming to fight Pingding City, which is small and lacks food and grass. The cavalry is not good at defending the city, so we should withdraw quickly. Zhao Long said.

The three counties of Mengxian, Binh Dinh and Shouyang form a triangle, and Shouyang is the closest to Yangquan. An Shirong is a fierce general in Tianhu's army, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Shouyang alone, so he may not be willing to obediently return to Yangquan.

Yang Zhizheng was considering whether to retreat, and reported to Malai: "Three thousand cavalry are galloping from the direction of Shouyang, and they are expected to arrive in an hour." ”

"It's coming so fast, it's too late to retreat. If we retreat now, we will be sleepy and lacking horses, and we will inevitably suffer losses in field warfare. The only thing I was worried about now was the four thousand prisoners, and most of the governors would not let the prisoners be killed, so now it can only be so. Yang Zhi said.

Yang Zhi came up with a plan to keep the four thousand captive officers in solitary form, and the ordinary soldiers gathered in a square. Thousands of fire and thunder bombs were taken out and hung in the air, and the fuse of the fire and thunder bombs was next to the Jeju army guarding it.

The soldiers who surrendered were very frightened, and they didn't know what the Jeju army was going to do.

Yang Zhidao: "Now that there is a special situation, you can't send more soldiers to guard you." But I've already laid out tens of thousands of fire and thunderbolts here, and as long as you are obedient and don't do anything, everyone is safe. If anyone dares to make a mistake, 4,000 people will be burned. ”

Tian Hujun's people have seen the power of fire and thunder bombs, and this small melon exploded a large piece with a loud bang. If you don't surrender, you still have a little courage to resist desperately, but now that the weapons are gone, and you are gathered together one by one, where is the courage to rebel? Under the shock of fire and thunder, they stayed safely one by one.

The three battalions of cavalry went to the city for defensive arrangement, although the cavalry was not good at defensive positional warfare, but it did not mean that they did not understand. Rolling wood, stones, bows and arrows were prepared, and the door panels and other items prepared by the original Tian Hujun became a wall of arrows, and the food and grass in the city were also sufficient, so there was no pressure for a few days.

Sun An sighed: "Our soldiers are strong and strong, An Shirong's 3,000 cavalry is not to worry, just cultivate today, and we will definitely be able to defeat them in a field battle with them tomorrow morning." ”

Ma Lin said: "It is easy to win a battle, but it is difficult to win a battle with few casualties. A total of 40,000 soldiers came to exterminate the Tian Hu Army, and there were large casualties at the beginning, which had too much impact on the overall situation. ”

Sun An nodded yes, it was. Reinforcements would arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and there was no need to fight in the field with the exhausted soldiers of the long battle and the soldiers of Ellsglory with sufficient strength.

In the afternoon, when it was almost dark, the enemy soldiers arrived, and the darkness was overwhelming, not to mention three or four thousand cavalry. Insiders watch the doorway, although the equipment of this group of soldiers is not uniform, and the clothing is very messy, but looking at the movements, you can know that they have been trained for a long time.
