Chapter 359: Wei Yan's Battle of Fame

As soon as the county ordered Zhang Shi to die, the Yangzhou army was routed.

"The county order is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" Nanyang's heavy troops successfully advanced into Jiashi City, occupied the city gate, and shouted loudly.

On the city wall, the already precarious Yangzhou military defense line, heard that Zhang County's order was dead, and the army's heart immediately collapsed. The soldiers and young men of Jiashicheng County, who were at the back of the defensive line, took the lead in escaping the team. The Yangzhou soldiers, who were still resisting on the front line, saw that the general trend had gone, and they threw away their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and begged for surrender.

"Dang!" A commander of the Nanyang Army blocked a ring-headed knife that slashed at the pawn.

"What? Let's not kill the pawns! Commander Tun shouted and reprimanded, waking up the red-eyed soldier under his command from the extremely tense atmosphere. This is a Nanyang recruit who has not experienced life-and-death battles before, so he is a little out of control. In contrast, veterans who have been through battles have relatively good control over their emotions. Killing and surrendering pawns does not have the benefit of the mission, and it is easy to cause radical changes, which will only increase the casualties of the other side. Taking control of the situation and ending the fight is the most important thing!

The news of the fall of the North Gate was quickly transmitted to the South Gate, and Jiang Yan, a military general under Zhang Xun, who was responsible for guarding the South Gate, absconded and disappeared.

In this battle, nearly 10,000 of the 20,000 soldiers and civilians who participated in the defense of Jiashi City died, another 5,000 surrendered, and 5,000 people mixed into the people of Jiashi City. The county commander Zhang Shi was killed in battle, the county lieutenant was captured, and Sima Jiang Yan was nowhere to be found.

On the side of the Nanyang Army, there were more than 2,000 casualties, and after timely treatment, 423 people died in the end, and 589 people were seriously injured and could not fight again. The casualties were not heavy, but they were somewhat unexpected by Ho Xian. The Nanyang Army has been peaceful for a long time, although the training is continuous, but many recruits still have not experienced the baptism of war, and some of them are covered after going to the battlefield, and they are easy to be injured and die after being circled. From this point of view, some casualties should be warmed up for the big battle in Shu County.

After the Nanyang Army took over Jiashi City, He Xian did not embarrass the people of Jiashi City, nor did he embarrass the Yangzhou soldiers who surrendered. He sent his appointed Lujiang County Shouqiao Mao and Lujiang Governor Shi Lusu to come forward to pacify, and Jiashi City slowly restored order. The captured county lieutenant, as the first evil, was beheaded outside the North City Gate to show the public. After the 5,000 soldiers were disarmed, under the supervision of the Nanyang Army, they were first responsible for cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses. After handling these labors, they were uniformly escorted to serve in Anhui City. The practice of the Nanyang Army: Captured enemy soldiers must serve for at least three years without pay before they can clear their war crimes and become free citizens. In Wancheng, Changshui Captain Gan Ning is building a new Nanyang Navy Wankou Port Base. According to He Xian's plan, the main force of the Nanyang Army's naval force will be relocated from Xiakou Port to Wankou Port to be stationed. Because the main enemy of the naval army is in Jiangdong, and Wankou is closer to Jiangdong!

After He Xian dealt with the matter of Jiashi City, the Nanyang Partial Division led by Wei Yan finally came with news. Nishizhong Lang General Wei Yan, combined with Infantry Captain Xu Huang and Tun Cavalry Captain Pang De, directed a crazy ambush battle!

Qiao Rui divided the 50,000 Yangzhou reinforcements into three armies: the front, the middle and the rear. The front army of 10,000 was led by Lei Bo, the rear army of 10,000 was led by Chen Lan, and Qiao Rui led the Chinese army of 30,000. Wei Yan personally followed the reconnaissance cavalry, and after sneaking to observe the combat readiness of the Qiaorui army, he decided to ambush Qiaorui in the plain area under the Fucha Mountain, thirty miles outside Hefei. The terrain is flat, making it suitable for large-scale infantry duels. There are also several dense forests on the plains, which can be used to hide thousands of men and horses. It's an excellent place to ambush and kill.

When Qiaorui's army marched in, Wei Yan first spared Lei Bo's 10,000 front troops, and then 10,000 foot soldiers fought out together and went straight to Qiaorui's Chinese army. Among them, Xu Huang led a thousand Baibo tomahawk soldiers and two thousand Nanyang light steps to take charge of the palace, Wei Yan gave a death order, ordering Xu Huang to resist the return of Lei Bo's front army. Even if they are all dead, they must not take a step back! And Wei Yan himself, with two thousand Nanyang heavy steps and five thousand light steps, launched a crazy attack from the 30,000 Chinese army facing Qiaorui!

7,000 Nanyang troops against 30,000 Yangzhou soldiers! Wei Yan's attack is fearless! As the absolute main force of this campaign, Nanyang Chongbu performed extremely brilliantly!

The sword battle against the horse, sword after sword, cut all the Yangzhou soldiers in front of them into two sections. When the heavy infantry in the front row stopped to breathe, the heavy infantry in the back row stepped forward, and the overall formation kept rolling forward. They have only one purpose, that is, the bridge that is guarded in the position of the Chinese army layer by layer!

The Nanyang heavy army was flanked by 5,000 light infantry, and their main role was to protect the flanks and clean up the Yangzhou rout that had been routed by the heavy infantry. Under Wei Yan's crazy leadership, the 7,000 Nanyang infantry fought with the momentum of 70,000 people. The phalanx of Yangzhou soldiers was vulnerable in front of Nanyang's heavy horse sword!

Seeing Nanyang led by Wei Yan killing him step by step, Qiao Rui finally became frightened and chose to escape. He wanted to escape ten miles away, among the rear army led by Chen Lan, to temporarily avoid the edge of the Nanyang army. Unexpectedly, Nanyang Army was waiting for this moment!

As soon as the bridge moved, it broke away from the dense array of 30,000 people. As a result, Pound's two thousand Xiliang light horses have a place to use! They killed from the flank, first mounted and shot, disrupting the defensive position of thousands of Qiaorui guards, and then used the cone formation to attack and completely break through the defense line of Qiaorui's guards. Pound took the lead, holding a truncated broadsword, all the way from the periphery to the core. In the end, the knife fell in his hand, and the panicked Qiao Rui fell off the horse. The head of the bloody forest was cut off, hung on the left side of the saddle, and rode away!

The 10,000 former troops led by Lei Bo learned that Qiaorui's Chinese army was ambushed by the Nanyang army, and quickly returned to help, but outside the battlefield, they were strongly blocked by 3,000 foot soldiers led by Xu Huang. Xu Huang's tomahawk strength was not weaker than that of Nanyang Chongbu under Wei Yan's command, with 1,000 tomahawks at the forefront, 2,000 light infantry guarding the flanks, and 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers attacking in turn, but it was difficult to advance an inch. When the Xiliang light cavalry led by Pang De succeeded in killing Qiao Rui, bypassed the main battlefield from the side and rushed to Xu Huang's side for reinforcements, Lei Bo knew that the general trend had gone, and led the soldiers and horses under his command of less than 10,000 people to flee straight in the direction of Shucheng.

On the main battlefield, after Qiao Rui fled, it triggered the rout of the entire Chinese army, and more than 20,000 Nanyang troops spread their feet and fled in the direction of the rear army. Wei Yan ordered the heavy infantry to form a formation on the spot to make corrections, and he led more than 4,000 light infantry who still had combat strength to follow the pursuit. Wei Yan chased and killed all the way, and chased him ten miles away. Kill the Yangzhou army ghosts crying wolves, and there is no way to enter the sky and no door. Chen Lan's 10,000 rear army originally wanted to come to reinforce it, but was shocked by the rout of the Chinese army, and the army's heart was in turmoil, so they simply fled with the current.

Only this one battle, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Pang De are three generals, and they are powerful in the world!
