Chapter 215: Occupy the city

"What's going on?" Yan Rou was shocked when she saw that people kept falling in front of the team, and asked in a loud voice.

Suddenly, dozens of feet in front of them, a group of torches lit up, and a person dressed in a white robe sat on a white horse.

"Xue Rengui, the general of the Tang Kingdom, is here, and you can't get off your horse and be bound."

This person was Xue Rengui, and beside him, there were thousands of foot soldiers, forming a military formation, looking at them with hideous faces.

It turned out that they almost broke the city gate during the day, so Xue Rengui expected Yan Rou to break through in the middle of the night, so they set up ambushes outside the east gate and the south gate where Yan Rou might break through, waiting for Yan Rou to throw himself into the net.

Now it seems that what he expected was good, Yan Rou really broke through, and he still planned to break through to Youbeiping, and it was not in vain that he waited here for a long time late at night.

"Get out!"

Yan Rou saw that he was blocked by the general of the Tang State, so he immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to break through, he still had 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he didn't believe that Xue Rengui would ambush many soldiers and horses here, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through the siege of the Tang army.

These 20,000 people have also followed Yan Rou for a long time, and when they heard the order of the main general, they all rushed to the defense line of the Tang Kingdom.

"Stubborn!" Xue Rengui saw Yan Rou attacking the defense line, snorted coldly, Yan Rou's voice just now revealed his position, took out the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, and shot an arrow into the darkness.

"Hmmm......"

Faintly, a miserable scream came from the darkness, Xue Rengui's ears were sharp, and after hearing it, he shouted: "The enemy general is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

The Jin soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't see the situation of their own generals in the dark, but after a while, they still didn't hear their generals shouting, and they were also a little confused.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In an instant, a rain of arrows directly covered the battlefield.

"The cavalry on the left and right flanks will cut off the head and tail of the Jin army."

After the rain of arrows, Xue Rengui picked up the halberd in his hand, took the lead, and led the soldiers to kill the Jin army.

On the other side, Yan Rou, who was hidden in the dark, was frightened by Xue Rengui's arrow, and when this arrow came, he just turned his head and was about to whisper to the guards around him, but as a result, the arrow flew over against his ear and hit one of the guards behind him.

Although it didn't cause him any harm, it also frightened him, broke out in a cold sweat, and he was speechless for a while.

The cavalry that lost their horse speed was not as good as the infantry in combat effectiveness, and the 20,000 Jin soldiers and soldiers, without the command of the main general, the thousands of people in the vanguard directly collapsed and were wantonly slashed and killed by the Tang army.

At this time, the Jin army was already unable to take care of the beginning and the end, and was divided into two parts by the Tang army.

The front army, Yan Rou, who was in the middle of the team, looked at the battle situation of the two sides by the light of the fire, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, and the whole army quickly breaks through to the north, they have few people, and they can't stop us!" ”

"As long as you break out, you can live!" Yan Rou's guards also shouted to help stabilize the morale of the army.

Sure enough, Yan Rou and his personal guards made the military heart temporarily stable, and the rear army was cut off, constantly impacting the cavalry of the Tang army, relying on the advantage of numbers, the rear army was gradually approaching Yan Rou.

At this time, the role of a fierce general was reflected, Xue Rengui saw the other party counterattacking, and immediately led the guards around him to kill in the direction of Yan Rou.

Along the way, Xue Rengui brought up bursts of bloody rain and bloody winds, the halberd in his hand or swept or stabbed, every halberd, one or several Jin soldiers fell to the ground, and at the same time, his mouth burst into tears, and every burst of shouting was like thunder, exploding in the ears of the enemy.

On the other hand, in the Jin army, there was no general in charge, and the morale fell again and again, even if the main general tried his best to boost morale, there was still not much improvement.

The encirclement gradually narrowed, and many Jin soldiers began to flee, but even so, Yan Rou still took dozens of personal guards and killed the Tang army to break out of the encirclement, and left towards the north without looking back, and with Yan Rou left, there were thousands of soldiers.

"The enemy will be dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

In the dark, the Jin army, who was fighting, looked dazed after hearing the shouts of the Tang army, and it was not until the shouting lasted for a while that these soldiers slowly put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

Yan Rou fled, and most of the remaining soldiers on the battlefield chose to surrender, and only a few took advantage of the darkness to flee into the distance.

"Back to camp!"

Xue Rengui brought out a total of 5,000 soldiers on this trip, but it was enough to deal with the scene, leaving 1,000 soldiers to clean up the battlefield and bury the bones, and the remaining 4,000 people escorted nearly 10,000 prisoners and headed towards the camp.

As for Jixian, anyway, the defenders have already fled, the city must be empty, and the city can't escape, and it will be the same if it will be taken over tomorrow.

At dawn the next day, the war drums in the Tang military camp sounded again, and without encountering the slightest obstacle, Xue Rengui and others entered the city.

After entering the city, Xue Rengui ordered the troops to rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, sent scouts to the Zhuojun area, and he was now worried about the safety of Tian Yubu.

About half a day later, Tian Yu appeared under Jixian County.

Xue Rengui saw that Tian Yu was embarrassed, and he only brought less than 3,000 soldiers, so he hurriedly asked the reason.

Tian Yu explained with a wry smile: "General Hui, it was Yu who underestimated Zhang He, who raided the camp last night and lost nearly half of his soldiers and horses. ”

When Xue Rengui heard this, he hurriedly asked the reason, and Tian Yu also told him about the causes and consequences.

After Xue Rengui heard this, he nodded, he also had a new understanding of Zhang He's carefulness, but Jixian County had been removed, and what was left was Youbeiping to the east and Zhuojun where Zhang He was stationed.

"Well, Ben will know, and you can't completely blame the country for this matter, and you can drag Zhang He with 5,000 soldiers and horses and help us take Jixian, which is already a great achievement, and you don't need to blame yourself." Xue Rengui comforted him.

Then Xue Rengui changed the topic and said: "This Yan Rou is well-known in Karasuma, and he has fled to Youbeiping at this moment, I am afraid that he will say that Karasuma Qiu Liju Department, plus the Jin army in other counties, is also a big hidden danger, and it has to be guarded against." ”

Luo Cheng on the side directly surrendered his hand and ordered: "General, the ancestral home of the last general is in Youbeiping, it is better to hand over the enemy of the east to the last general, how about it?" ”

"Well, it's okay, Youbeiping will trouble General Luo Cheng." Xue Rengui bowed his head, his original intention was also to let Luo Cheng lead his troops to clear the remnants of the enemy in the right Beiping and the east, since Luo Cheng took the initiative to ask for his life, Xue Rengui also pushed the boat down the river and agreed.

"As for the others, continue to go to Zhuo County with General Ben, and if you don't break Zhuo County this time, you vow not to return." Xue Rengui slapped the table and shouted loudly.

"No!" Everyone agreed.

After resting in Jixian County for another night, Xue Rengui also wrote out the battle report and ordered someone to send it to Jinyang overnight.
