Chapter 295: Counterattack on All Fronts (9)
Yan Liang smiled miserably, "Hehe, there is only Yan Liang who died in battle, and there is no Yan Liang who surrendered!" ”
Yu Bandao: "Yuan Shao played with fire and set himself on fire, and he was defeated and self-inflicted, so why did you bother to bury him?" ”
Yan Liang said: "Loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, since Yan has joined the lord, he has to live and die with him, how can he vote for the lord because he has lost power?" Hugh has to say more, but come to war! ”
Yu Ban said helplessly: "If you want to go to war, you will definitely die." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info My lord is in charge of Jizhou, he is thirsty for talents, General Yan is brave and unparalleled, how can he be a marquis and worship generals? Why don't you do something to my lord? ”
Yan Liang shouted: "Your mother-in-law, mother-in-law, is it over?" If you want to fight, why bother? As he spoke, he fought with his sword.
Yu Ban saw that there was no hope of surrendering, so he had to order: "Kill!" ”
The soldiers had already been gearing up, and after hearing the military order, they immediately killed Yan Liangjun like a hungry tiger pounced.
Yan Liang took the lead, wielding a big knife to slash left and right, knocking down dozens of soldiers, but the personal guards behind him were all killed and fell into the torrent of the forbidden army.
At the end of the day, there were only three guards left around Yan Liang, and the soldiers of the forbidden army surrounded him. Yan Liang saw that the general trend had gone, and he was about to kill himself when he drew his sword, so he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow hit Yan Liang's right arm, and the sword fell in response, and the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly rushed over to capture Yan Liang.
Yu Ban captured Yan Liang, led the army to Lecheng, and then sent people to spread the news of Yan Liang's capture, which can be regarded as a strategy to attack the heart.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are god-of-war level figures under Yuan Shao, and even such characters have been captured, and Yuan Shao's morale can be imagined. Since Yan Liang's entire army was annihilated, the support army had no choice but to retreat to Nanpi.
Wen Chou led his army to attack Dongguang County at any cost, but they were all defeated, and although both armies suffered heavy casualties, Dongguang was still firmly in the hands of Gao Ran.
The news of Yan Liang's fiasco and capture spread to the Wenchou army on the outskirts of Dongguang County, causing a lot of turmoil, and the soldiers were talking about it in private, plus the heavy casualties of the continuous battle, there was no longer anyone willing to continue fighting, and many soldiers began to flee secretly.
After Lecheng captured, Zhang He and Yu Ban joined forces, rested for two days, and began to march to Nanpi.
Feng Ji said to Yuan Shao: "The western barrier has been broken, and it won't help to take Dongguang, so let's gather our troops and horses and defend Nanpi with all our might." ”
Guo Tu said: "Yuan Tu (Feng Ji's table character), you proposed to attack Dongguang and defend Lecheng before, but now Dongguang has not been captured, and Lecheng has also been lost, but you made a mistake in strategy, and you don't know what to do?" ”
Feng Ji Tie blushed and retorted: "Yan Liang's improper command and loss of Le Cheng, is it my crime?" Dongguang can't take it, and the soldiers are incompetent—"
"Enough!" Yuan Shao shouted, "When is it now, you are still engaged in infighting?" ”
Everyone was silent, Yuan Shao coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Order the soldiers and horses from all walks of life outside to come back." I only hope that we can hold Nanpi and let Jiang Sheng retreat. ”
Wen Chou got the military order, relieved, immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and retreated to Nanpi, but Lu Yi could not retreat, and Chu Yan's iron cavalry had already surrounded and killed.
The Koji rebels are famous for their crossbowmen, and the crossbows in the Koji rebels are all short crossbows, which have a significant effect on shooting light cavalry and light infantry, but in the face of the armored steppe iron cavalry, the effect is much worse.
The first round of shots killed less than 200 people, most of them lightly wounded, but the crossbow was quickly reloaded, and then a second round of shots came, and because of the proximity, more than 2,000 people were wounded this time.
Although Chu Yan's cavalry had good defensive performance, its mobility was somewhat insufficient, and when it rushed to the front of the Lu Yi army, the Lu Yi army had already carried out five rounds of fire, causing more than 6,000 casualties or serious injuries to Chu Yan's army.
The price paid was still worth it, Chu Yanjun had already entered the crossbow array of Lu Yi, the crossbowmen put away their short crossbows, and pulled out their swords to face Chu Yanjun.
Heavy cavalry against light infantry, is not a level at all, although the crossbowmen of Lu Yi are amazing, but the power lies in the medium and long-range shooting, the need for the protection of the infantry army, with crossbowmen alone out of the battle, unless a sudden attack, or it is a suicide attack at all, and now the short crossbow soldiers that Lu Yi is proud of have become the thousands of souls in Chu Yan's iron riders.
Chu Yan led the guards to rush all the way and went straight to the Chinese army of Lu Yi, who was shocked and hurriedly led the army to retreat, but was surrounded by Chu Yan's army.
Lu Yi led the army to break through more than 20 times in blood, and all of them were killed, and the encirclement of Chu Yan's army became smaller and smaller, surrounding thousands of soldiers and horses of Lu Yi.
Lu Yi's defense in Fuyang was originally quite tight, Chu Yan launched many attacks, but they were all killed, and the casualties were not small, so it was in the truce for several days.
After receiving Yuan Shao's military order, Lu Yi immediately packed up, but on the surface, he still looked like he was strictly guarded, and planned to withdraw at night.
The people of Zhou Jin of the Jizhou Intelligence Station had already figured out the situation, and they notified Chu Yan, Chu Yan has also grown in recent years, and did not go directly to attack the city, but secretly prepared, and on the surface, it was no different from usual, and after the Lu Yijun army left the city, Chu Yan's army followed from afar.
As soon as the morning dawned, Chu Yanjun suddenly appeared in the rear of the Lu Yi army, so Lu Yi ordered to meet the enemy, and there was a battle just now.
Lu Yi was originally Han Fu's general, but because he was dissatisfied with Han Fu's cowardice and incompetence, he rebelled, first allied with Yuan Shao, and then directly joined Yuan Shao's command.
Chu Yan said: "Lu Yi, don't make a senseless breakthrough, just rely on your little strength, if you want to highlight the encirclement of my tens of thousands of iron cavalry, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, lest the soldiers die in vain!" ”
Lu Yi was noncommittal, and Chu Yan said again: "If you surrender, my lord will not treat you badly, and the soldiers under your command can also have a place to live; If you resist to the end, then the lives of thousands of your soldiers will be entrusted here. ”
No one spoke on the battlefield anymore, and there was a dead silence.
The soldiers under Chu Yan's command all raised their weapons and prepared for the attack.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and Chu Yan was about to give the order to attack, but saw that the soldiers under the command of Lu Yi began to throw the weapons in their hands on the ground and slowly walked out of the military formation.
Seeing this, he sighed, unsheathed his sword and threw it on the ground, then dismounted and surrendered.
Chu Yan also hurriedly dismounted, grabbed Lu Yi's arm, and said: "For the sake of the lives of his soldiers, General Lu dismounted and surrendered at the expense of his reputation, which is quite benevolent." My lord has long heard of your ability to govern the army, and this submission will surely be reused, and I want to congratulate you!"
Lu Yi said: "The general of the defeated army, how to talk about reuse, I only want to keep my life, and I am content to live in the world." ”
The surrender of Lu Yi was really a heavy blow to Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao's right-hand man Chun Yuqiong was killed, Yan Liang and Lü Kuang were captured, and Lu Yi surrendered, and only Wen Chou was left as a famous general, as for Jiang Yiqu, Lü Xiang, Gao Gan, Han Meng, etc., they were just the last generals, and they were no longer able to resist Jiang Sheng's attack.
Now only the Wen Chou army can return to Nanpi, which has not yet arrived in Nanpi at this time, and the urgent military intelligence report has been submitted to Yuan Shao's account.
