Chapter 108: A Horse Goes Down to the City

The Shu army has been chasing out for more than ten miles, until the big camp in Wei County, seeing that the door of the thief army is closed, the soldiers in the camp are ready to send their bows, and they are waiting for the battle, Guan Yu and other generals watched their formation, and saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so they collected their troops and returned to the camp.

After all, the Southern Barbarian Army does not say, Jianning's army system is not as strict as the Shu army, and there is not much training on weekdays, after suffering defeat, it is a normal thing to be a deserter, and it left 3,000 troops, which is different from the previous Guan Yu attack on the camp, when Guan Yu had few people and not many enemies, this time Ye Zhao's main force was here, tens of thousands of people chased and killed, it can be said that it swept through, even if the thief army had the intention to surrender, in that chaotic battlefield, There was not much space for them to beg for mercy, and they were often killed by the Shu army that rushed up before they could beg for mercy.

There will be fierce warriors hiding on both sides, the army is not too dense and then throw away the blade and surrender, the Shu army is usually not embarrassed by the surrender army that has knelt on the ground to ask for surrender, of course, if someone dares to take advantage of this to make trouble, the consequences will be more terrible than being killed directly, and the surrounding surrender troops who sincerely surrender will not let them do so, because they may be implicated.

Gao Chang unfortunately died in the chaos of the army, but he was not killed by the enemy, but he accidentally fell off his horse, and then was trampled to death by the fleeing rebels.

Duo Silai lost the first warrior, the warriors brought by the Ba Na Cave were also heavily wounded, after Guan Yu and others retreated, they couldn't help but retreat, two consecutive defeats, Jianning's soldiers and horses died with Gao Chang, in a state of no one to command, although it is an alliance relationship, but whether it is Meng Shu or the Ba Na Cave Lord or the Yinye Cave Owner, they are not qualified to command these people, and the Han soldiers will not buy their accounts, let alone accept the command of a group of barbarians.

Meng Huo tried to collect the military power, but after being rejected by the generals in the army, he decided to temporarily withdraw from Jianning and go to join Yongchang Taishou, and the cave lord of Yinye Cave did not want to continue to stay here.

"All gone?" When Ye Zhao received the news, it was already afternoon, and the defense line established by the barbarians in Tanyu Mountain had been withdrawn, leaving a few empty camps, obviously not ready to fight again.

"Yes, in Wei County, there are only thousands of Jianning soldiers left, lord, this is the best time to collect Jianning!" Huang Quan nodded and said excitedly.

This has only been in Zhu Ti for a month, and he has already broken through the land of a county, Ye Zhao is rushing to the four counties of Nanzhong this time, and now the weather is cold, it is no longer suitable for fighting, at this time, Jianning can not only allow Ye Zhao to get a foothold in the Nanzhong region, but also the soldiers and horses of Jianning captured before can also be subdued, so that Ye Zhao has enough soldiers and horses to support Ye Zhao's plan to pacify the four counties of Nanzhong.

"Lord, if you can take Jianning, the remaining three counties in Nanzhong can be split into two, and you can raise another army and horses to fight in Zhuti to contain Yuewang, and the main force of our army will focus on subduing the two counties of Yongchang and Qiqi!" Xu Rong proposed.

A large part of the reason why Ye Zhao left 3,000 soldiers and horses and left Zhang Ren and Guan Ping in Zhuti was to guard against an attack in the direction of Yuewang.

"Jianning broke two Taishou in a row, and even defeated one after another, morale is gone, there are too many Jianning troops in the army, if you don't take Jianning, these people really can't return to their hearts, Yun Chang!" Ye Zhao nodded, at this time in the battle, there is no need to procrastinate, losing two games in a row, even if the Jianning Hao clan is unwilling, I am afraid that they will not be able to pose any threat to them, in order to avoid the comeback of the Southern Barbarians, they should indeed take Jianning first.

"In!" Guan Yu took a step forward and bowed.

"The soldiers and horses of Weixian County have been defeated, their morale has been lost, and they have been defeated for two consecutive terms, and now I am afraid that the army has no heart to fight, and you are now the most famous in Nanzhong, and the matter of surrender is up to you!" Ye Zhao looked at Guan Yudao.

"The last general commands!" Guan Yu nodded, took the arrow and turned to leave.

"Xu Rong!" Ye Zhao pulled out an arrow again and looked at Xu Rongdao.

"The last general!" Xu Rong also took a step forward and bowed.

"Lead the army of five thousand, subdue Jianning, when the army arrives, I don't want anyone in Jianning County to resist!" Ye Zhao handed the arrow to Xu Rong, and said the end, his tone was a little heavier.

Xu Rong looked up at Ye Zhao, nodded silently, took the arrow and said, "Don't worry, lord!" ”

Early the next morning, Guan Yu rode out of the city alone and came directly to Wei County to shout at the door.

Gao Chang is dead, but there are still a few generals in Wei County, seeing Guan Yu coming alone, they were surprised, although they even suffered defeats, but the Shu army only sent one person, it is a little too underestimated, right?

"Shoot him with arrows!" One general was angry and wanted to order someone to release the arrow, but was stopped by several other generals.

"That Guan Yu is the general of Shu, if we shoot him, it will definitely anger the lord of Shu, and then I am afraid that this Wei County will become a non-void, and you and I will have a way to live?" Another general said in a deep voice: "Let him in and see what he has to say!" ”

The rest of the generals also nodded one after another, at this time, the dragons of Weixian County were leaderless, and they didn't even have the advantage of troops, but they didn't want to anger Ye Zhao at this time.

"A certain is a hussar general, Guan Yu, a partial general under the Yizhou pastoral tent, and he is here to persuade him to surrender!" Guan Yu entered the city, his eyes swept over the surrounding group of Jianning soldiers, turning a blind eye to the bows and arrows pointing at him, and said coldly: "Who is in charge of the city now, please come out and meet!" ”

On the city wall, a military general poked out from behind the female wall, looked at Guan Yu and shouted: "Guan Yu, you entered the city alone, and you are still so arrogant, you are not afraid of death!" ”

"The rat who hides his head and tail is also worthy of talking to someone!?" Guan Yu snorted coldly, and in the stunned gaze of the soldier who brought him in beside him, he snatched the spear from the other party's hand, and threw the spear at the general who came out of the city wall with a shaking hand.

The general obviously didn't expect Guan Yu to dare to make a move in this situation, and before he could react in the future, the spear had already passed through his skull and nailed him directly to the city tower.

"Crunch~"

In all directions, one by one longbows were instantly opened, locking Guan Yu, just waiting for someone to give an order, they were going to pierce Guan Yu's heart with ten thousand arrows, but this order was not given for a long time.

Guan Yu looked around and said proudly: "My lord is merciful, I don't want to kill more, although you are in rebellion, you are still willing to give you a way to live, and send Guan to persuade you to surrender, at this moment, you not only avoid it, but also aim at Guan with a sharp blade, but you want to kill yourself?" ”

"Guan Yu, don't be alarmist, there are still 3,000 soldiers in this Wei County, and it is not a problem to defend the city, not to mention the soldiers of the four counties in Nanzhong, not to mention that there will be 100,000 troops, and Yehou has soldiers and horses? Rivals? On the city wall, the three generals saw that Guan Yu had no weapons in his hand, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, and one of them said loudly.

"An army of 100,000?" When Guan Yu heard this, he sneered and said, "Guan doesn't know where the 100,000 army is now, as for the 3,000 soldiers and horses...... In the past, Liu Yan had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he still couldn't compete with my lord, only 3,000 soldiers, with this projectile land, he also wanted to resist the heavenly soldiers? ”

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Guan Yu said loudly: "My lord's intention, now I have told you and others, if you want to surrender, put down your weapons, open the city to surrender, my lord has a word first, those who surrender will not be killed, if not, you can shoot Guan Mou, you see, wait for these three thousand soldiers and horses, how many of them can live until tomorrow at this time!" ”

Guan Yu's words, the three armies were angry, standing between the group of enemies but without the slightest consciousness of being surrounded, and regarded the soldiers in the city as nothing, but the soldiers and horses of Jianning around them began to hesitate, and many people quietly lowered their bows and arrows.

The three Jianning generals were a little unable to get off the stage by Guan Yu's words, they didn't dare to kill people, the arrogance of the Shu army had already been seen, but they just admitted it like this, it was really a black face.

Guan Yu didn't pay attention to them, stopped talking after speaking, stood under the lock of ten thousand arrows, closed his eyes and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

The three generals looked at each other, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, for a long time, the person who spoke before smiled bitterly: "General Guan Mingjian, the name of Ye Hou, we have been waiting for a long time, but we are waiting for Jianning soldiers, and after knowing that Ye Hou will not go down to the city, he will not settle accounts with us?" ”

Guan Yu opened his eyes and looked at the three of them: "The lord has always been a man of his word, in the past, Liu Yan and my lord still had personal grudges, Ye Hou broke through the city, and he was also courteous to Liu Yan, and the thieves were all helpless, how could the lord not know, besides, the lord has decided to live in Jianning temporarily, if you surrender, you will be reused, what is the account?" ”

"General Guan's words, we can still trust them, if this is the case, we are willing to surrender!" The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they originally wanted to give Guan Yu a dismount, don't let Guan Yu underestimate him, but who knew that he couldn't come to the stage, so he could only ask for the result softly.

Guan Yu's expression eased a lot, and he looked at everyone: "In this case, replace the banner at the head of the city, put down the weapons of the soldiers in the city, and go out of the city to surrender, my lord will come in person later!" ”

"I'll do as I was told!" The three generals were helpless, so they ordered someone to replace the flag at the head of the city with Ye Zhao's hussar general's military flag, and asked the soldiers in the city to put down their weapons and line up to go out of the city to prepare to meet Ye Zhao.

Guan Yu asked people to go to Ye Zhao's camp to report, and he led the three generals out of the city to take care of the three armies.

Soon, Ye Zhao, who got the news, personally led the army to come, and when he saw the soldiers outside the city who had gone out of the city and surrendered, he stepped forward, came to Guan Yu's side, and said in a deep voice: "Yun Chang can't be so reckless next time, if he is unfortunately hit by a stray arrow, wouldn't it be a disaster?" ”

"The last general obeys!" Guan Yu bowed down and said: "Wei County has been lowered, please accept the enemy and surrender the enemy." ”

Ye Zhao nodded, and sent people to collect and surrender the troops, plus the soldiers and horses that were surrendered before, at this moment, in the army, there were nearly 15,000 soldiers in Jianning alone, after Xu Rong led the army to leave, these people and horses were more than Ye Zhao's current headquarters, and they needed to be properly arranged to avoid changes.

After the arrangements were made, Ye Zhaocai took Guan Yu and went to the banquet for the three Jianning generals to appease the army.
