Chapter 496: The End of the Southern Guards 2
Dongzhou Mansion, a province where Yongzhou and Jizhou meet, after here, and then to the north, is Jizhou. Today's Jizhou has basically fallen into the hands of the Xiaoguo army, of course, this is related to the fact that the officials of the various provinces have no right to resist. It took a month and a half from the beginning of the Xiaoguo army to send letters to the capital, and the entire southern part of Jizhou fell.
"General, the three thousand people after the break did not come back! The whole army is dead! ”
Zhao Mang, the deputy general of Qianniuwei, had a cold face, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a loud voice: "Speed up, after the last three counties, you will enter Jizhou." We will not forget this hatred. ”
Since that night, after giving the two guards a hard blow, the guards, the Yongzhou army, and the north of the Bingzhou army have worked together to encircle and suppress the Xiaoguo army in the Taihang Mountains. Set fire to the mountain, advance layer by layer, and under the decision of the Xiaoguo army in the Taihang Mountain, finally according to Zhang Yuanjing's intentions, evacuated this place and entered Jizhou.
Then they chased and fled, scattered, but for this reason, Qianniuwei and the Taihang Mountain Army also lost more than 20,000 people, in addition, tens of thousands of people were involved.
Zhao Mang is the last way, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers, there are also four or five thousand people who will follow. But this army movement, it was inevitable that people would find out their traces at that time, Rao had the Eagle Eye Division and the Chamber of Commerce along the way to respond, and there was no need to worry about the supply of grain and grass, but the government army in Yongzhou was still in hot pursuit. Fortunately, these government troops are all defective products that were picked up by Situ Lei, otherwise......
For this reason, Zhao Mang asked his subordinates to divide the branch and hurried overnight, and even handed over those people to the caravan and dispersed the arrangements. At the same time, the troops of the broken rear were dispatched to disrupt the opponent's judgment of the departure route of the Xiaoguo army.

Qinshui River Beach.
The battle became more and more intense, and the 8,000 guards were ambushed, and the situation was very bad.
A general struggled to rush to Hu Yi, and said sadly: "General, we are surrounded, we can't rush out, the pikemen of this Xiaoguo army are too dense, and they were poked into a sieve after rushing up, and they can't be killed at all......
"Also, there are too many archers in the Xiaoguo army, and the brothers don't have shields, so there's nowhere to hide." Another general shouted: "General, more than half of the brothers have been killed or wounded, and if we continue to fight like this, it will be all over...... We're cavalry! If you die like this, then ......"
"That's going to have to go on! If you can't rush out, you have to continue to rush ......" Hu Yi roared angrily, "You guys open your eyes and see, there is cold river water on the left and right, and the rebels of the Xiaoguo Army behind and in front of you, what can you do if you don't fight or rush?" Cavalry? …… Without a war horse, it's still some kind of cavalry! Sue the brothers, fight, fight with his mother, kill ......"
"Woo Woo ......"
Another rain of arrows fell mercilessly from the sky, and hundreds of guards fell down in a miserable howl.
The number of guards and non-commissioned officers is getting smaller and smaller, there is no way, they are surrounded and beaten, and the cavalry is infantry, and there is no chance to escape.
"Kill, ......kill, kill, kill" At this moment, from the rear of the encirclement, that is, the rear of Wei Chen and Xu Le, there was a shout of killing, "Kill and rescue the general!" ”
"Yangcheng's guards have been transferred out! Who of us went over to greet you! Wei Chen said with a smile.
"Then I'll go! The 2,000 cavalry of the Guards is the only cavalry left of the Guards, and I will take 5,000 of my troops to kill all the cavalry of the Guards in one battle. Xu Le responded.
"General, it's reinforcements! Our reinforcements! Someone came to our rescue! ”
Hu Yi wasn't very happy, reinforcements? Those who could arrive in time were no one else except for the two thousand cavalry in Yangcheng. The two thousand cavalry in Keyang City were specially left by themselves, how could they come here to support? Besides, in tonight's battle, it is obvious that the Xiaoguo army has been prepared for a long time, so how can you not pay attention to the arrival of reinforcements? Don't...... Thinking of this, Hu Yi's face suddenly turned ugly. Yangcheng is the easternmost part of the three cities, and it is the communication channel between his department and Gaomi Mansion, if he loses it, then he really has no way to retreat.
But this is not the time to think about this, Hu Yi completely put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill them for me!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
In the end, the remaining remnants of more than 1,000 remnants followed behind Hu Yi and launched the last and most rapid offensive against the rioting Xiaoguo army. Because there were 5,000 fewer people, and the number of shots by the soldiers was also a lot, most of them had weak arms, and the arrows shot by the soldiers encircled and suppressed by the Xiaoguo army obviously became sparse, and the spears that were originally as dense as woodlands also became a lot more sparse, Hu Yi picked up a spear from the chaotic army, swept in all directions with one move, knocked the three enemy soldiers in front of him into the air, and the guards and sergeants who followed him rushed up like a tide, and finally rushed out of the river beach.
Hu Yi looked at the remaining more than 800 people behind him, his heart trembled, and he turned around and shouted: "Brothers, withdraw ......"
"General, we don't chase?"
Wei Chen shook his head and smiled: "Our main purpose is the other party's cavalry and Yangcheng, these hundreds of people, let's put them back, the lord has an order, let Hu Yi go back." ”
Although nearly 10,000 people were solved this time, there were still 20,000 people in the Wei army, and Zhao Xun didn't want them to become a rout and plague the township, anyway, they couldn't escape, they either surrendered or starved to death in the city.
To the northeast of the river beach, 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 cavalry of the Guards met.
A few miles apart, the two sergeants faced each other, and each soldier had a grim and solemn expression.
Xu Le waved the spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" Annihilate them all! ”
"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Boom...... ......The cavalry began to speed up, the earth was trembling violently, the sound of horses' hooves had filled the whole heaven and earth, and seven thousand cavalry were coming towards each other, and in an instant, the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred paces......
"Arrow Ready ......"
Xu Le roared, the spear in his hand was raised high, and the surging cavalry of the Yan Ya sheathed their swords one after another, skillfully drawing their bows and arrows on horseback......
"Woo Woo ......"
Xu Le waved the spear in his hand forward, and five thousand sharp wolf tooth arrows had already swept into the air, and in an instant, they were intertwined into a rain of locust-like arrows in the air, and they were overwhelmingly piled down over the heads of the guards and cavalry......
"Mounted archery...... Damn it! It's the cavalry of the Guards Army, be careful,......" the cavalry general of the Guards shouted bitterly.
"Puff puff ......"
Arrows rained down on the cavalry, some falling from their horses, some screaming, and some tumbling to the ground. In one round, more than 100 guards and cavalry fell.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
Amid the frenzied sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry of the two armies was rapidly approaching...... The cavalry barely shot a second wave of arrows, and the two armies were less than thirty paces apart, and the guards paid more than 200 cavalry casualties.
"Kill!" The cavalry general of the guard roared aggrievedly.
"Whew......"
Before the hapless cavalry of the guards could respond, the arrows had already pierced his chest coldly...... The figure of the cavalry slammed down, and the legs of the horse's belly were loosened weakly, and the whole man fell from the horse's back, and fell on the cold wilderness, and the subsequent cavalry of the guards swept by like a tide, and the frenzied horse's hooves trampled him into flesh in an instant......
The cavalry in front of the "...... of Xiu Xiu Xuan was unable to shoot arrows, but the cavalry behind them were still constantly putting arrows, pressing the rear of the guard cavalry.
"Boom ......"
In the frenzied sound of horses' hooves, the two galloping cavalry finally collided unstoppably and fiercely, struck each other with blades, neighing horses, churning iron hooves, and blood rain flying in the sky with severed limbs and stumps. The tragic battlefield of the cavalry bloomed in an instant, like a dazzling brilliance of fireworks released on the ground......
"Poof......
Xu Le's spear stabbed the head of a guard cavalryman like lightning, and in a crisp cracking sound, the head of the guard cavalry burst open like a smashed watermelon under the rapid spear stabbing, and instantly turned into flesh and blood, flying in the air...... Having lost his head and body, he rode forward on horseback and rushed forward dozens of paces, the sharp long knife in his hand still slashing at the ground, but it could never cut the enemy......
"Hoo ......"
Then the momentum, the spear in Xu Le's hand stabbed viciously into the chest of the next cavalryman, Xu Le leaned over to dodge the long knife that the opponent slashed obliquely, and drew his spear from behind him. The spear passed through the opponent's body, bringing up a small river of blood......
"Looking for ...... Death"
Seeing the oncoming Guard cavalry officer, Xu Le brought the spear in his hand and the shadow of the spear in the sky, dropped the two Guard cavalry soldiers beside him, and stabbed into the opponent's abdomen like lightning.
"Puff ......" For this reason, the other party's long knife also slashed through Xu Le's arm, if it wasn't for Xu Le's fast dodge, one arm would not be protected. The cavalry officer of the guard army grabbed the spear stabbed in his lower abdomen and did not let go, Xu Le twitched, but failed to pull it out, and immediately roared, the muscles on his arm bulged violently, and the explosive power collapsed from his body, and he actually picked up the opponent from the horseback with a spear......
"Puff ......"
Two guards cavalry who followed closely behind Xu Le followed, and two sharp horizontal knives slashed through the throat and chest of the guard cavalry officer, and in an instant, the blood flowed like an infusion, and the guard cavalry officer lost his strength, let go of his hands, and let go of Xu Le's spear. Xu Le then pulled the spear out of the other party's body......
…………
Yang cheng.
"How many guards are there in the city?" Zhao Xun asked.
"Back to the lord, there are only 4,000 soldiers in the city, and there were originally 2,000 cavalry, but they have been led away by the lord's plan!"
"What about our people? Can you open the gates? ”
"No problem, Xicheng is not the focus of their defense, and the officers defending the city are also bribed by us."
"Very good, even if there is a problem, we are not afraid, we have 8,000 cavalry here, why be afraid, go, send a signal to the city, open the city gates."
"Yes......" The contact person of the Yangcheng Eagle Eye Division dodged away.
"Herald, forward! Wei Dong, you take 3,000 cavalry, go to the east gate, and intercept the escaped soldiers for me! ”
"Obey!"
A moment later, above the west gate of Yangcheng, a firelight swayed back and forth!
"Accelerate! Rush! Zhao Xun shouted.
"Knock knock...... Dong Dong ...... "Outside the west gate of Yangcheng, thousands of horses are galloping.
"What's going on? Cavalry? And where are the cavalry? At the east gate of Yangcheng, the left-behind general said in a trembling voice.
"Could it be that the generals are back?"
"It's impossible, the general is ambushed, and General Liu's support has only been out for a short time, where did it come so fast!"
"Squeak squeak...... When Zhao Xun led the army to approach the west gate, the closed city gate finally opened slowly. The northernmost and most important city of the Guards, thus opening the defenses of the Xiaoguo army.
"Kill!"
Above the east gate, when I was at a loss, an urgent report came.
"Report the ......" An officer with crooked helmet and oblique armor knelt in front of the defenders at the east gate, who was also the left-behind general Wei Qiang in Yangcheng, and said in a trembling voice: "General Qiyu, the captain of the west has surrendered to the Xiaoguo army!" The cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army has already entered the city......"
"What? How could it be ......" Wei Qiang's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.
"The sky is going to kill me......" After a while, Wei Qiang roared miserably, "General, Wei Qiang has a heavy trust......"
After saying "poof......", he drew his sword and killed himself.
"General...... General Wei ......" several colonels around Wei Qiang shouted sadly.
"You ...... Let's go down! After saying that, there was no sound......
At this time, the shouts and killings in the city resounded through the heavens and the earth, and above the east gate, they could be heard clearly.
That night, Yangcheng fell, and the Southern Guards completely lost the opportunity to go north. The Xiaoguo army first lured the enemy outside, and then designed to lure the cavalry out of the city, and the ultimatum should open the city gate to cut off the last hope of the guards.
