Chapter 183: All according to Taiyuan
"Ordered Kebineng to divide his troops to pursue Yuan Shao, and the rest of the people, continue to attack and annihilate the enemy army!" Looking at Yuan Shao, who fled south, Liu Yuan decisively ordered! And the Yuan army, which had lost its commander, completely collapsed, like a group of blind lambs waiting for the slaughter of the Xia army!
The commanders have all fled, and the remaining Yuan soldiers still have the heart to resist, and Zheng Gu and Yang Chou are still resisting, and they also know that they are being treated as outcasts. directly abandoned the weapon and said loudly: "Don't fight, the general abandoned me and surrendered!" ”
Zheng Gu was originally the commander of Montenegro, Yang Chou was born in a poor family, he had voted for Yuan Shao before, he didn't value it, he couldn't talk about loyalty, and now he was abandoned, and there was no pressure at all in his heart to surrender.
Yuan Shao led the people to flee, and the Yuan army camp plus Zhang Yang's Shangdang army, excluding the casualties and escapers, still had nearly 10,000 troops. Seeing his surrender, Liu Yuan also decisively ordered surrender. It didn't take much to break Yuan's army, and Liu Yuan was in a really good mood.
Standing on the terrier, looking at the captives who were taken in batches, the soldiers of Xia who were showing off their might, Liu Yuan smiled and said to Yan Rou beside him: "Look! Won't this stalk return to the hands of Lone? ”
Yan Rou also smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "King, Yuan Shao has lost his army, and he can't hold Taiyuan!" Our army should move south as soon as possible and attack the city to avoid any accidents. ”
"What, you want to fight?" Liu Yuan looked at Yan Rou.
Yan Rou showed an affirmative expression and looked at Liu Yuan.
"Then you will lead the remaining infantry army to the south, and the Lone Beggar Army will cooperate with you to take all the counties in the south of Taiyuan to Lone!"
"No!"
In the captive camp, Liu Yuan rode his horse and galloped through, and all the surrenderers were confiscated with weapons and armor, like a group of piglets being kept in captivity. Zhang Yang failed to escape, was trapped in the chaos and was captured, and was escorted down in front of Liu Yuan with Zheng Gu and Yang Chou.
"Zhang Yang, Uncle Zhang Zhi?" Liu Yuan looked at Zhang Yang and asked, "I heard that you have a good reputation, are you willing to surrender?" ”
Looking at Liu Yuan, the Hun King who has been sonic in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, although he has been famous for a long time, when he sees it today, he is really so "young"!
Seeing that Liu Yuan had the heart to surrender to himself, Zhang Yang felt a little disdain in his heart, and looked at Liu Yuan with his head held high: "Although I, Zhang Yang, have no talent, it is difficult for me to descend to you!" ”
"Oh!" Liu Yuan nodded when he heard this, turned his head and said, "Then kill it!" ”
Zhang Yang's face tightened when he heard the sound, and a little struggle flashed in his expression, and he saw that Long Qi had already pulled out a long knife and slashed at him, and without much time to react, his neck was cut off, his head rolled down, and blood splashed on the grass on the ground, dying.
Liu Yuan looked at Zheng Gu and Yang Chou again, the two of them were a little stunned, met Liu Yuan's gaze, panicked in their hearts, and bowed down to bow down: "King Xia spares his life, the villain is willing to surrender!" ”
"For the time being, let's help our army recruit and surrender soldiers!" With a few words, Liu Yuan rode over Zhang Yang's corpse on the ground and led people away.
Looking at Liu Yuan, who was far away under the protection of the guards, Zheng Gu and Yang Chou glanced at each other, and both of them still had some lingering palpitations in their hearts. Zhang Yang said that if he killed, he would kill, not to mention the two of them who were unknown. I couldn't help but touch my neck, but fortunately the head on it was still there.
……
After a night's rest, Yan Rou led the army to the south, and with the cooperation of the beggar army, he went straight to Qi County, where Yuan Shao is now the base camp in Taiyuan. After marching for more than half a day, there was no accident, and when he arrived outside the city of Qixian, he saw from a distance that the flag of the Xia army had been planted at the head of the city.
Somewhat surprised, he sent someone forward to question. Liu Qiu led people out of the city to greet him: "General Yan! ”
"Prince Qiu!"
"The last general, together with Tan Zhe and Bald Guilai, were ordered by the king to go south to pursue and suppress the rest of Yuan Shao, what is the situation in Qi County?" Pointing to Qi County, Yan Rou asked.
Liu Qiu looked at Yan Rou for a while and replied, "I led a thousand horsemen to pursue Yuan Shao last night until Qi County. originally wanted to monitor the reinforcements to attack the city, but who knew that Yuan Shao was also decisive, resting in the city for less than half an hour, and then continued to flee out of the city to the south. Qi County had no defensive capability, so fortunately it occupied the city for the soldiers to rest. ”
"Yuan Shaoding knows that Qi County cannot be defended, so now, where is the rest of Yuan Shao?"
"General Yan, don't worry, I've been sending people to keep an eye on it, Yuan Shao went all the way south, passed through Jingling and Zhongdu without entering, and now he is temporarily stationed in the realm!" Liu Qiu turned his head to look at the thousands of Xia troops behind Yan Rou and asked, "I am about to lead the army to continue the pursuit south, does General Yan need to rest in Qi County for a while?" ”
Hearing this, Yan Rou decisively refused: "The soldiers are fast, and the last general will go south with Prince Qiu!" ”
After that, he joined forces with Liu Qiu, accelerated his speed, turned around Qi County, and went straight to Jiexiu County. Jiexiu is not far from Qi County, and before sunset, Xia Jun rode more than 6,000 soldiers to the city.
When the guards on Jiexiu City saw Xia Jun coming, they immediately panicked, and hurriedly reported it, and Lu Yi personally waited for the head of the city. Seeing that the soldiers were frightened, they scolded angrily: "The enemy has not yet attacked, what are you panicking, give me my place to return to my place, so that I can guard the city!" ”
Under the strong pressure of Kojiyi, the guards settled down a little. Some of the soldiers in the city were defeated yesterday, and in the face of the attack of the Xia army, they were even worse than the county soldiers collected by Yuan Shao in the southern counties.
"It's coming so fast!" Koji Yi had a solemn expression and stared at the Xia Jun outside the city.
Koji is in a bad mood and is in an irritable state. In yesterday's battle, he commanded 3,000 elites, and in the end, less than 500 fled with him, and he was distressed. Many of them were old brothers who had followed him for many years, and they died at the hands of Xia Jun.
At the same time, Yan Rou was also looking upward, and the banner of the word "Yuan" was fluttering at the head of the city, but it made people feel like they were "crumbling". He said to the generals around him: "Everyone, let the soldiers camp and rest all night, and break the city tomorrow!" ”
Liu Qiu smiled faintly: "Just do what General Yan said!" ”
Thousands of Xia troops slowly retreated and stationed five miles north of Jiexiu City.
"This Yan Rou really regards himself as the main general! I really don't know what the king likes about him! "Lead people back, Tan Zhe muttered in his mouth.
"Humph!" Bald Guilai was also a little disapproving, licked his lips, and behaved very rebelliously: "I don't care about anything else, this work of breaking the city and capturing Yuan Shao must be mine!" ”
Looking at the bald roses who drove the horses arrogantly forward, Tan Zhe's face was slightly gloomy, he Tan Zhe was not a leader, he was just a little puppet chieftain. Now that he is valued by Liu Yuan, he gradually dares not to take him seriously.
At night, Yuan Shao attacked the only remaining cavalry out of the city, less than 2,000 cavalry, and broke through under the command of Liyi, Gao Gan, and Guo Yuan.
The generals of the Xia army did not expect that Yuan Jun would dare to attack out of the city, and when they reacted, Yuan Jun had already stormed the walled gate. The barbarians faced a surprise attack for the first time, but they couldn't cope with it and almost screamed. Under the pressure of Bald Rose's powerful bullets, Fang honestly picked up his weapon to resist.
Yan Rou was the most stable, and led his infantry to resist the impact of the Yuan army, and then Liu Qiu personally led his cavalry to counterattack, which frustrated Yuan's vain attempt to defeat the Xia army in one fell swoop. Tan Zhe's reaction was the slowest, but the "Karma Cavalry" was fierce, and many soldiers directly and spontaneously joined the battle under the leadership of their own commanders.
As the Xia army's counterattack was in full swing, the Yuan army had no choice but to retreat. In this night attack, although the Xia army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, it also lost more than 500 horses. It is no different from the overall situation, when the Xia army is rectified and the siege of the city, it will not be able to defend.
Under the persuasion of Xu You and Xun Chen, Yuan Shao decisively led people to quietly abandon the east of the city overnight and withdraw towards the territory of the party.
On the second day, when Xia Jun reacted, he had only an empty city. In the north, when Liu Yuan set foot on the head of Qixian County, he got the news and knew that he had finally taken Taiyuan.
Yuan Shao was driven to Shangdang, and the rest of the counties were at the disposal of the Xia army.
