0167 Victory
Liu Jing glanced at Cao Cao happily, and then said loudly to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, order the three armies to attack with all their might, cooperate with the allies, and flank the Xiliang army. ā
Guan Yu hugged his hand and took the order to go, and the defenders of the city also received the news of the arrival of the allies, and the army was greatly boosted and killed more vigorously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On the contrary, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji were panicked, and they were attacked by the enemy on their backs, and under the attack from both sides, the originally fierce Xiliang Army was caught off guard by this sudden allied army.
In addition, among the allied forces, there are also fierce generals, and the rushing and killing are extremely violent, so the Xiliang army is a little unable to resist for a while, although the Xiliang army has a slight advantage in numbers, but this little numerical advantage is also suppressed by the momentum of the allies.
And all this was also out of Jia Xu's expectations, he looked at the allies who were like heavenly soldiers, and he was almost shocked, obviously, the matter has come to this, the defeat of the Xiliang army has become a certainty, and Jia Xu is also very anxious.
Although Jia Xu was very anxious, he was also a wise person after all, and he was still very proficient in the principle of self-preservation, so he immediately found Zhang Xiu, and the two of them were planning to withdraw the army.
At this point, the leaders of the Xiliang Army, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji have no way out, even if they escape, they will only escape for a while, and they can hide from the first day of junior high school, but they can't hide from the fifteenth. Therefore, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji still took the lead and led the Xiliang army to fight hard.
But at the same time that Li Dao and the others took the lead in the fight, a small group of Xiliang troops, turned into the costumes of the defenders, and quietly fled the battlefield in the dark night.
This small group of Xiliang Army is none other than the deserters led by Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, and they have passed Zhang Ji's acquiescence, because Zhang Xiu is still the bloodline of his Zhang family after all, no matter how enthusiastic Zhang Ji is, no matter how confused he is, he will not cut off the bloodline of the Zhang family.
So, when Zhang Xiu found Zhang Ji to explain the reason, Zhang Ji immediately agreed, he divided about 1,000 military horses, let Zhang Xiu lead, let Zhang Xiu break out of the encirclement, and escape back to Xiliang, in order to make a comeback.
And the person who gave Zhang Xiu an idea and asked him to find Zhang Ji was none other than Jia Xu, Jia Xu knew that he could borrow strength, he knew that Mingzhe would protect himself, because his relationship with Zhang Xiu was very iron, so even if he escaped, he had to find the right person, otherwise, stealing chickens would not make it impossible to find the wrong person, not only could he not escape, but he would also be dealt with by military law.
The whole battle lasted until dawn, and when the Xiliang army was killed by less than two people, the allies and defenders had already surrounded them, and most importantly, Li Dao was captured alive.
Li Wei was captured alive, Guo Yan died in battle, and only Zhang Ji was left to lead people to fight, at this time, the Xiliang army was just stubbornly resisting, and there was no longer the slightest meaning at all.
And here, in the Xiliang army, there were already many soldiers who began to stop resisting, put down their weapons, and chose to surrender, because they all had no hope and no courage to continue fighting, because the desire to survive trumped everything.
In the end, Zhang Ji also completely gave up resistance, he was extremely unwilling to choose to surrender, in the face of the future prison disaster, and even the punishment of beheading, he chose to save most of the people's lives, because he knew that these soldiers who followed him to fight hard, each of them, like Zhang Xiu, are all people with families, since the victory has been far away from them, why do they have to go against the sky and die in vain?
The Battle of Luoyang, and its tragic end, came to an end, and the defenders and the allies paid a great price and won a final crushing victory.
Why do you say a miserable victory? Because at the beginning of the decisive battle, Liu Jing and Cao Cao had a total of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao, together with Ma Teng, Sun Jian and others, also brought more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if Shang Lu Bu brought out of the city gate more than 15,000 people, a total of nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses gathered.
On the other side, the Xiliang army led by Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji had an army of more than 90,000 people, which was large enough.
But in the end, the defenders and the allies only had less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left, and the Xiliang army only had more than 20,000 people left, and about 120,000 soldiers and horses were killed in the whole battle.
The rebellion of the Xiliang Army can be regarded as over, Dong Zhuo and the rest of the evils have also been brought to justice, Li Dao was directly sentenced to death, and the whole house was killed.
Zhang Ji was given a light sentence because he led the troops to surrender, but he was personally beheaded and did not connect the nine clans.
Since the person who should be punished has been punished, then the person who should be rewarded must always have some expression, so Liu Xie specially held a canonization ceremony in person.
Who will be canonized? Of course, it is the hero of the defense of the city and the alliance, when it comes to rewarding, it is a big deal, when it comes to the benefit, that person, but he really sharpened his head and drilled in, no, as soon as he heard that the emperor was going to canonize the hero, the original people who withdrew from the alliance also came one after another to ask for merit and reward.
For a while, the palace gate of the capital was lively again, of course, the most lively here was the mansion of Situ Wang Yun and the general Lu Bu.
Because the world is peaceful, Luoyang implemented a week-long celebration of the whole world, and the cruelty of the war was forgotten again, as if after this war, there will be no new war, and both officials and ordinary people in Luoyang City are happy.
Even the beggars begging on the streets gave wine and meat to eat and drink for the first time, which can really be regarded as a lively city and a celebration of the whole city.
There was a jubilant atmosphere outside the inn where Liu Jing lived, as if it was the New Year, and like Liu Jing, all the princes were recruited into Luoyang City, ready to accept the canonization ceremony seven days later, to reward meritorious deeds.
Liu Jing stood by the window of the inn, looking at the festive people outside, but his heart was different, an indescribable sadness and pain.
How this victory was obtained, only he and Cao Cao knew best, and only he and Cao Cao suffered the most serious losses, Liu Jing's soldiers and horses were less than 2,000 people left, seven or eight hundred hundred cavalry, and more than a thousand hundred hundred heavy infantry.
And those people led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Long, as well as Liu Jing's miscellaneous army, all died heroically in the battle to defend the city, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Long also died in the war, Zhang Yan was also seriously injured, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also seriously injured, and there were no minor injuries all over the body.
On the other hand, Cao Cao's situation there is not much better than Liu Jing, there are only about 5,000 soldiers and horses left in the 20,000 army, and the general is almost unharmed, but the junior general has been killed and injured countless times, so at this moment, Cao Cao's mood is naturally not much better.
