Chapter 365: Yan Xing is captured
The fighting in the northwest continued to escalate, and Jiang Sheng's main army had reached Chang'an.
In the past two months, Lü Buqin led the main force of Chang'an to engage the Northwest Army, with 17 wins and 6 losses, and the loss of more than 70,000 troops.
Li Tong led the army to fight with Ma Tie three times, all of which were victorious, and after Ma Tie retreated, he joined forces with Yan Xing and almost wrapped Li Tong in "dumplings".
Fortunately, the troops sent by Lu Bu rescued in time, and Li Tongcai was lucky to preserve his strength.
Considering the weakness of Chang'an's military strength, Lü Bu ordered Li Tong to temporarily withdraw to Chang'an, do his best to recruit troops, and at the same time replenish the front line with ordnance, food and grass.
The mechanized weapons invented by Jiang Sheng were too slow to maneuver, and the Northwest Army was mainly cavalry, so it could only be used to defend the city, and the front-line operations were still dominated by cavalry.
The heavy infantry led by Gao Shun also went to the northwest battlefield two months after the start of the war and was stationed in Anding City.
Ma Teng's Pang De led the army to sweep away a large area of territory in the western counties of Anding County, fighting all the way to collect the remnants of the defeated generals, and by the time he reached Anding City, it had expanded to 100,000 troops.
The camp led by Gao Shun was only one of the troops directly under Jizhou, only 20,000 people, and the original troops in Anding City were only more than 50,000 people.
If there was no chance of winning in an encounter with Pang De, Gao Shun simply clinged to the city gate and set up a defensive formation outside the city.
The heavy infantry is good at defense and not good at attacking, so it is just right to play to his advantages.
Pound's troops were mainly cavalry, but a small number of infantry were also used for sieges.
Anding is a big city, but the cities in the northwest are relatively short and small, so it is difficult to say who has the advantage in offensive and defensive operations.
Wen Chou's troops went straight to Wuwei in the west, which was regarded as copying Ma Teng's back road.
When Jiang Sheng divided Liangzhou, the part near Chang'an was set up as Yongzhou, and the west was set up as Liangzhou, which was exactly the opposite of what was recorded in history, Jiang Sheng crossed the northwest, Ma Teng's territory was the westerner, Jincheng and Longxi counties and the Qiang area were the jurisdiction of Han Sui, Anding, Beidi, Hanyang, and Wudu were divided into Yongzhou.
Jincheng and Longxi fell into the hands of Ma Teng, and the four-way soldiers and horses sent by Ma Teng set off from Longxi and Wuwei.
Ma Chao and Ma Tie attacked Hanyang from Longxi, Pang De and Yan Xing attacked Anding from Wuwei, and Ma Tie's attack was frustrated, so he went north to join forces with Yan Xing.
After resting for three days in Chang'an, Jiang Sheng's army marched west to Hanyang County to replace the tired army of Xia Lü Bu.
Zhang He's Second Army detoured from Wudu County to Ma Chaojun's flank and made a movement in Longxi.
Zhang Ning led the Fifth Army as the main attacker and met Ma Chao from Hanyang County.
Jiang Sheng led the Xuanjia cavalry of the First Army to sit in Hanyang County and Ji County to command the northwest operation.
The cavalry accounted for the majority in Wenchou's Seventh Army, so he marched quickly and marched all the way along the Hetao Plain, and when Jiang Sheng first arrived in Chang'an, he had already fought with Ma Teng's second echelon.
After Yan Xing and Ma Tie joined forces, they went all the way to the east, they wanted to go straight to Chang'an, and Lu Bu was caught off guard.
This unit secretly advanced along the border between Anding and Hanyang counties, and went out day and night, even avoiding Zhen Yan's intelligence team.
When he was approaching the boundary of Chang'an, he happened to meet Lu Bu, who was retreating, and he couldn't help but say that the two armies were fighting together.
Yan Xing ran a long distance, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and Lu Bu was no better, the two armies fought for a day, lost thousands of men and horses, and collected troops to stop fighting.
Li Tong had just trained 30,000 recruits, and after receiving a message from Lu Bu, he ordered his troops and horses and left Chang'an City.
In the middle of the night, Li Tong launched an attack on Yan Xing's camp, countless rockets rained down, and the military tent was ablaze.
Ma Tie and Yan Xing were taken aback, and they gathered their soldiers and horses separately to try to fight back.
Li Tong didn't give them a chance, so he led the cavalry into the sea of fire, and fought with Yan Xingjun in the fire.
The sound of killing here shook the sky, but there was no movement on Lu Bu's side, and Lu Bu had already ordered all departments to just sleep unless the enemy attacked, no matter what happened.
At dawn, Li Tong whistled, and the whole army quickly withdrew, without delay.
Yan Xing was busy fighting the fire and facing the enemy on the other, and after killing for a long time, he suddenly found that his troops were running around, and Li Tong's troops had long since disappeared.
Yan Xingjun finally extinguished the fire, and before he could breathe, Lu Bu had already led his army to kill him!
The soldiers and horses of Xiliang were dizzy by the wheel battle, even Yan Xing was confused, he hadn't slept all night, and his body had reached the limit of what he could bear.
Yan Xing fought to the death for three hours, and finally couldn't support it, and led the army to retreat westward, Lu Bu chased after him step by step, and fought when he caught up, so that while walking and fighting, Yan Xingjun's escape speed was much slower.
Jiang Sheng was able to get Lu Bu's urgent report in time, immediately ordered his troops and horses, and personally led more than 20,000 Xuanjia cavalry to intercept and kill them halfway.
Yan Xingjun threw away his armor all the way, and finally broke away from Lu Bu's pursuit, only to see a black cloud smashed in front of him.
Yan Xing had never seen this army, but he was sure that this was the world-famous Xuanjia cavalry.
When the first big flag, a big word "Jin" was written on it.
Yan Xing said secretly: "Jiang Sheng's personal expedition is also a terrifying Xuanjia cavalry, and I am afraid that it is the strongest army in the world." ”
He hurriedly gave the order, and the whole army turned north, trying to avoid Jiang Sheng, but how fast was the speed of the Xuanjia cavalry? It's not that he Yan Xing can dodge if he wants to.
Jiang Sheng showed out the Tiangang Liang silver spear, led the army to kill the past, and the Xuanjia cavalry was like a cloud of smoke, flooding into Yan Xing's troops, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Xing's army was divided into more than 20 large and small pieces.
Over the years, Jiang Sheng has devoted himself to governing the country and Zhaojue scheduling, and rarely does it himself, so this time it can be regarded as a review.
Yan Xing's strength was extraordinary, and the Xuanjia cavalry that rushed in front of him was difficult to defeat him, causing a lot of losses.
Jiang Sheng clamped his legs between the horse's belly and shot the past, and the improved version of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" made the enemy in front of Jiang Sheng fly with flesh and blood, without a complete body.
The coordination of the Xuanjia cavalry was already seamless, and there were no Xuanjia cavalry at all on Jiang Sheng's offensive line.
Jiang Sheng rushed all the way to Yan Xing, and Yan Xing picked up the big knife and fought with Jiang Sheng.
Yan Xing's strength is strong, one move and one style of tiger and tiger, Jiang Sheng's strength is almost there, but the victory is in the flexible KitKat, you come and I go, after more than ten rounds of fighting, Jiang Sheng sold a false move, Yan Xing didn't know what the plan was, the big knife slashed over, Jiang Sheng used a backhand pistol, and hit Yan Xing in the back of the heart with the handle of the gun.
Yan Xingwa spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell off the horse, Jiang Sheng took out his gun and hooked Yan Xing's armor, and lifted it hard, Yan Xing flew sideways on Jiang Sheng's horse, and was captured by Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng burst out: "You are waiting for the Lord to be captured, and you still don't stop?" ”
Ma Tie saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran, the main general was captured, and the deputy general fled, these Xiliang soldiers and horses naturally would not resist anymore, and fled westward in a swarm.
After the Xuanjia cavalry pursued and killed for twenty miles, Jiang Sheng took Yan Xing and led the army back to Ji County.
