Chapter 332 is a big victory
The two Qiang camps stretched for ten miles, and it was impossible for the soldiers to gather in such a short time; The Han army attacked strongly, and the Qiang people were routed, trampled, and even killed each other at the gate of Xiying Village, and fled by seizing the road.
At this time, the Han soldiers shouted "Surrender and don't kill!" "Surrender and don't kill!" ”
The shouting was loud and loud, and it could be heard for more than ten miles around.
The Qiang people have lived together with the Han people for a long time, and they can both understand Chinese.
Under such circumstances, the already frightened hearts of the Qiang people became even more flustered, and the Qiang people in Xiying began to flee, and the patriarch and the handsome could not stop it; And Beiying didn't know what was going on in Xiying now, so he didn't dare to go to the rescue at all, so he could only send someone to find out the news first.
Someone fled, someone followed, and under the terrifying killing of Xu Huang and Yan Liang, no one was afraid, making more people join the ranks of escape, and finally it turned into a rout.
The Qiang people in the camp also fled from other gates, and the scale of the escape became larger and larger, and the patriarch and the handsome saw that the general situation had gone, and hurriedly fled in the direction of Xiaoguan under the protection of the guards.
Having lost their command, the Qiang were like a flock of scattered sheep, waiting for the butcher's knife of the Han Chinese.
The shouts of killing one after another made the Qiang people even more frightened, and even the Qiang people in Beiying had become frightened birds.
He was overjoyed in his heart, this victory came too easily, and Lu Yi really got it, no wonder the lord appointed him as a lieutenant at the beginning of his arrival, and now he was appointed as a taishou.
However, he was not careless, and did not send out the 20,000 cavalry of Lu Yan, and this army must be used in key places.
The Qiang people in Xiying began to flee, and Yan Liang and Xu Huang began to lead troops in pursuit; Cheng Zhi on the right flank never participated in the battle, and his task was to prevent the Qiang people from the northern camp from coming to support.
The movement caused by the flight of tens of thousands of cavalry was very large, and the horse's hooves struck the earth, and the earth shook the mountains; No matter what happened, the Qiang people in Beiying also began to flee in fear.
At this time, the infantry participating in the battle could no longer keep up with the pace of the cavalry, so they could only enter the camp of the Qiang people in the west camp to receive the spoils of war, capture the Qiang people who did not have time to escape, and clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded.
Lu Yi returned to Chaona City, met with Fu Zhu, and decided that Lu Yi and Lu Yan would lead 20,000 cavalry to support Xu Huang and others, completely defeat the Qiang people, and let them have no time to go south in a short time; He was responsible for leading the infantry to take over the two large battalions of the Qiang.
Frustrated with instructions, it is enough to occupy Xiaoguan, and not to rush to occupy Gaoping City, so as to prevent the enemy from counterattacking to the death and causing unnecessary casualties; The Huizhong Road in the north of Xiao Guan is flanked by high mountains, and the road is long and narrow, which is easy to be attacked by the enemy, and Fu Zhi does not want to take risks in the case of establishing a great victory.
Lu Yi should lead his troops to leave quickly, and he wants to chase the fleeing Qiang people as soon as possible.
The two Qiang camps were already in shambles, and all the supplies were abandoned and became the spoils of the Han people.
Xu Huang and the others chased the Qiang people unhurriedly, and the Qiang people kept leaving the troops behind the palace, but they knew that they were abandoned by the tribe and had no fighting spirit, and they were either easily defeated or forced to surrender.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, the entrance to Xiaoguan was narrow, and the Qiang army could not pass in a short time, so in order to escape for their lives, there was internal strife at the entrance, killing each other for a while; Seeing that the defenders of Xiao Pass were defeated in front of them, they fled first, blocking the passage so that no one could pass through.
The Han cavalry gradually surrounded it, and the number of them increased.
The Qiang people have lost the courage to resist, and the Qiang people on the periphery began to surrender one after another, and surrender will be contagious, and the number of surrenders has gradually increased.
When Lu Yi led 20,000 cavalry to arrive, the Han army was even more powerful, but Lu Yi was not as gentle as Xu Huang and others, and immediately led his troops into the Qiang crowd. Lu Yi's force value is quite high, and if he is not under Yan Liang, he immediately killed those Qiang people who had not yet surrendered, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and their limbs were splashed.
Like the god of war, Lu Yi immediately shocked all the Qiang people on the scene, and their way forward was blocked, the patriarchs had no choice, and they couldn't bear to watch their tribesmen being killed, so they announced that they all surrendered.
This is also due to the fact that for hundreds of years, the Han people have implemented a good policy of not killing the Qiang people who surrendered, so that these Qiang people continue to think differently.
The next thing to do was to receive the captives and collect the spoils.
Lu Yi discussed with Xu Huang, Yan Liang and others, hoping to take Gaoping City in one fell swoop, at this time, the Qiang people were newly defeated, and they would have no heart to fight, which was the best opportunity to occupy Pingcheng; And take advantage of it, the loot is absolutely rich.
Xu Huang was steady, the military division did not arrange to occupy Pingcheng, and if he could occupy Xiaoguan, he would complete the task, and he was unwilling to fight.
Yan Liang was impulsive, hit it off with Lu Yi, and decided to take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, even if he could not occupy Pingcheng, there would be no big losses.
So, the 35,000 cavalry left Xu Huang and Cheng Zhi to clean up the battlefield and deal with the aftermath; Yan Liang and Lu Yi led 35,000 cavalry in pursuit.
The victory came too easily, and it was very unpleasant for Yan Liang and Lu Yi.
Originally, Yan Liang was still cautious when he returned to the middle way, and was laughed at by Lu Yi, the Qiang people were afraid, and no one would leave the palace, so he must have fled a long time ago, so he just moved forward boldly.
So Lu Yi was in front and Yan Liang was behind, lined up in a line, and galloped through the mountains and valleys.
When the two of them arrived at Pingcheng without danger, the Qiang people had prepared for defense in Pingcheng, and the city of Pingcheng was so tall that the two could not attack the city, so they returned to Xiaoguan after plundering all around.
When the news came out, the Han was shocked, and after fighting the Qiang-Han War for hundreds of years, the Qiang people were already extremely strong, how could they be so vulnerable to Hou Zhoufei's subordinates in Guangnian? Not only did fewer win more, but more than 100,000 Qiang people were captured alone, and the booty was countless, and the battle losses were so low.
won two big victories in a row, but Dong Zhuo had no military achievements, he was both jealous and worried in his heart, and he had plans to go south to Jingzhou and avoid Zhou Fei, but under the persuasion of Li Ru, he finally chose to continue to wait and see in Lantian County.
Huangfu Song, the general of the left chariot cavalry, was very happy, which relieved his pressure in Liangzhou.
The military and political officials of Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi and Right Fufeng were even more overjoyed, and when they recaptured Xiao Pass, the passage in the northwest of Guanzhong was controlled by the Han Chinese, and the Guanzhong area was no longer threatened by the Hu people in the northwest, and only needed to defend the southwest road, and the defensive pressure was reduced by half.
Emperor Liu Hong was overjoyed, and during his illness, he issued an order to increase the number of Guangnian Marquis Shiyi by 5,000 from Nanhe County.
Gao Shun and Zhou Fei were also very happy, so that they would have a foothold in Liangzhou, and they could pass through Xiaoguan, which could not only threaten the rear of the Xiongnu Youxian Wang's department, but also directly reach the four counties of Hexi, which was a fatal threat to the Qiang people; The next step is to consider how to stabilize and develop the two counties.
The only dissatisfaction is frustration, Lu Yi actually sent troops to Pingcheng with Yan Liang privately, Yan Liang did not explain to him, Lu Yi should be in person, occupy Xiao Pass, and not go out to fight Pingcheng, I didn't expect Lu Yi to be inconsistent with his words and deeds, perfunctory to him.
Fu Zhu did not express his dissatisfaction, but only sent a secret letter to Gao Shun, reprimanding Lu Yi for disobeying orders.
Now he continues to preside over the affairs of the two counties, and his busy feet do not touch the ground; The first task was to arrange for the more than 100,000 Qiang captives, arrange their heavy labor, and prevent them from making trouble; Secondly, he sent people to Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, as well as other counties in Liangzhou, to recruit cavalry, and recruit displaced people.
In early April, Xu Huang led 20,000 cavalry under his jurisdiction, as well as 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry under Cheng Zhi's original jurisdiction to withdraw to Hedong County, and the battle in Liangzhou ended.
