Dong Zhuo's army was defeated like a mountain, and under the charge of the cavalry, the formation was chaotic and unable to resist, and all the officers and soldiers turned around and fled.

Li Dao was shocked and couldn't believe the facts in front of him; Seeing that the situation was not good, his guards pulled his horses and began to flee.

The high-ranking cavalry charged and killed in front, and the mounted crossbowmen scattered on both sides and used their crossbows to shoot the dense enemy to support the senior cavalry; The senior cavalry was responsible for close combat, and had the responsibility of protecting the crossbowmen; The two sides have a clear division of labor, far and near, and tacit understanding, and the killing effect is excellent.

The only ones who escaped were the Flying Bear Army and the ordinary cavalry brought by Li Dao, and the infantry he brought with him had been abandoned, and only those who were captured or killed had to be killed.

At this time, it was the turn of the trapping camp to exert its might; In the battle just now, because the military advisor Liu Ye was nervous, he gave the order to attack too early, so that the trapped camp did not play an effective role, and he was holding back a belly of fire in his heart, and now he was venting it on these infantrymen.

The trapped camp was not afraid of the cavalry, let alone the frightened infantry; They set up an attacking formation, like sharp arrows, and plunged into the enemy's camp; They cooperate tacitly, some defend with shields, some kill with knives and spears, and some kill with strong bows and shoots.

They were like rushing into a flock of sheep, without encountering a powerful sniper, and wherever they passed, their limbs flew sideways, blood was splashed, and the ghosts of the Xiliang infantry who were killed cried wolf howls and scrambled to dodge.

Ji Ling ordered two thousand cavalry to spread out around to prevent the enemy from escaping; The other infantry followed the camp to kill, but in this life, they had never experienced such a smooth war, their morale was high, and the killing effect was better.

Pan Zhangjian, who was in charge of protecting Liu Ye's safety, asked, "Military advisor, are you taking some prisoners?" ”

Liu Ye came to his senses this time and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's okay to capture some prisoners, quickly shout surrender and don't kill!" ”

"Yes, Strategist!" Pan Zhang immediately asked his officers and soldiers to shout "surrender and don't kill."

As if they had received amnesty, the Liangzhou infantry immediately squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, giving up useless resistance.

Chen Ji and others led the officers and soldiers of the headquarters to guard the prisoners and clean up the battlefield; Liu Ye and Ji Ling led the cavalry and the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp to chase forward, and they were not at ease with the war ahead.

The war horses of the high-level cavalry are very good, even if the flying bear soldiers are one person and two horses, they are not the opponents of the high-level cavalry.

Those ordinary Western Liang cavalry were either killed or surrendered.

The crossbowmen were slow and were left far behind, responsible for capturing prisoners, horses, etc.

The high-level cavalry gradually returned to the formation and pursued in units, which made the attack more powerful, more tacit, and easier to defend.

There are less than 2,000 Flying Bear troops left, while the high-level cavalry is nearly 5,000, and the difference in strength between the two sides is very obvious; After Li Wei came to his senses, he had to accept the reality, let's run away first, it would not be bad to be able to keep the only two thousand flying bear army.

Li Dao ran wildly all the way, arrived at Yichun City without stopping, bypassed the city and Zhang Xiu's military camp, and rushed westward.

The senior cavalry followed all the way and rushed westward.

Zhang Xiu was shocked to find that they had fallen behind the enemy, and in this case there was a danger of being surrounded, so he immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers to return to the camp to defend.

Offense and defense are immediately out of position.

Li Feng, the officers and soldiers on the city wall and the people wept with joy, the state pastor sent reinforcements, the state pastor did not give up on them, they were saved, and their efforts were not in vain.

That desperate morale is gone, and many people are so tired that they don't even have the strength to stand up and shout, just sit at the head of the city or laugh or cry.

After Liu Ye and the others followed, Zhang Xiu's heart was like ashes, confirming his guess, even the Flying Bear Army was defeated by Jiangdong soldiers, how could he be an opponent?

Zhang Xiu lacks cavalry, and now he doesn't even have a chance to escape, so is he going to die here?

Liu Ye did not immediately launch an attack on Zhang Xiu, but sent people to Zhang Xiu's military camp to persuade him to surrender; He was very envious of Jiangbei's victory, but he mainly persuaded him to surrender; Persuasion can weaken the enemy's strength, and there are no casualties of the enemy, and the strength is increased.

Zhang Xiu is hesitant now, he can't fight anymore, he can't escape without fighting; If he surrendered, his children and wife in Changsha would be brutally killed, and even his uncle's family would be affected.

The envoy returned to Yichun City to report Zhang Xiu's concerns.

At this time, Liu Ye had received the secret report of the Jiangbei War from Qin Guan, and he already had a plan in his heart, and said with a confident smile: "Haha, this matter is easy, I will write a letter tonight, and you will go to persuade you to surrender tomorrow, and it will be successful." ”

"Yes, Strategist!"

On the second day, after reading Liu Ye's letter, Zhang Xiu was shocked, and he couldn't believe that it was true.

My uncle has surrendered, but he announced that he had died in Xiling City, and now he has returned to Liangzhou with his troops.

Moreover, Liu Ye promised that as long as he surrendered, he could continue to lead the troops without changing his position, and would not let him fight Dong Zhuojun, and try to rescue him and his uncle's family.

As long as you can not die, no one wants to take the initiative to die, and you must consider your family and the general trend.

Now Dong Zhuo and the imperial court have lost all their territory in Jiangbei, and they are settled in the barren Jingnan region, and there is no future.

Weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Xiu decided to surrender to Liu Ye; Liu Ye is a member of the royal family, and surrendering him will not dishonor Zhang Xiu's identity.

Everyone was overjoyed, and the battle of Yuzhang County ended victoriously.

All the officers and soldiers under Zhang Xiu's jurisdiction were supplemented into Ji Ling's army; Zhang Xiu's army was from Jiaozhou and was not loyal to Dong Zhuo, so he could use it with confidence.

Liu Ye appointed Li Feng as the Sima of other departments, continued to serve under Ji Ling, with 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and returned to Nanchang City for reorganization and rest, in recognition of his achievements in defending the city; The infantry was supplemented by the Jiaozhou soldiers under Zhang Xiu's jurisdiction, and the cavalry used the captured Xiliang war horses to select cavalry from the whole army.

Chen Ji led the headquarters to garrison Yichun County.

Jiangdong has a lot of money, Liu Ye doubled the pension for the casualties, and promoted those with military merits to officers when the number was expanded; Rich rewards were also given to the people who participated in the defense of the city.

Ji Ling and the others rejoiced; The people were also excited.

Then, Liu Ye wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo and sent an envoy to Changsha City to ask for Zhang Xiu's family.

Subsequently, Liu Ye led the troops back to Chaisang, accompanied by Zhang Xiu.

Now Dong Zhuo is disheartened, Jiangbei territory has been lost, Li Dao has returned defeated, and the elite of the Flying Bear Army is unexpectedly vulnerable, with less than 2,000 people left.

It's understandable that he can't beat Gao Shun, and now even the small, newly rising reckless princes can easily defeat him, how can he survive in the future? In his view, the plan to divide the river and rule the country has become empty talk.

When Li Ru had nothing to do, he had to suggest to Dong Zhuo that he negotiate with Jiangdong Qinguan as soon as possible, maintain the status quo, preserve strength, solve Liu Pan first, and then concentrate forces to deal with Qinguan, so as to avoid fighting on two fronts.

It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to take the initiative to bow his head to the Yellow Turban Army to negotiate, he doesn't want to lose this face, he is a Taishi, representing the imperial court, and he would rather die in battle and burn the jade than bow to the Yellow Turban Army thief in Jiangdong Qinguan.

Dong Zhuo did not accept Li Ru's suggestion, and Li Ru had to send an order to Niu Fu first to strengthen the defense.

Liu Ye returned to Chaisang and reported the results to Qin Guan, who was very happy, and gave a grand banquet to Zhang Xiu and his officers, and appointed Zhang Xiu as the Taishou of Huiji County, promising Zhang Xiu that after the war was over, he would allocate 5,000 Danyang soldiers to him.

In order not to expose the relationship between Jiangdong and Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu could not go north for the time being, and had to serve in Jiangdong.

Zhang Xiu is not in a hurry to go to Huiji County to take office, now take a rest and wait for the arrival of his family; To this day, he still has some doubts about Liu Ye's promise to rescue him and his uncle's family, and he believes that Dong Zhuo is brutal and will not let him go easily if he knows that he has surrendered.
