Chapter 106: A Great Victory

Sima Qiaoyu's soldiers and horses can be regarded as waiting for work, and the rogues are tired and tired along the way, and they are already at the end of their crossbows. The elite soldiers are prepared to kill the rabble, and there is still no way to fight this battle.

Liukou was killed so much that he cried his father and called his mother, and he was embarrassed, and he didn't even have the slightest ability to fight back.

The officers and men pursued and killed from night to dawn, and the rogue suffered countless casualties, and they were not in a problem, and they were so defeated that they were scattered and fled.

There are more than 100,000 rogues, Ding Zhuang in front, and old and weak women and children in the back, and these people can't run. Of course, the officers and soldiers will not kill them, and a small number of soldiers and horses will be taken care of for the time being. Wu Sinan continued to organize men and horses to chase and kill the rogue.

This side has achieved a great victory, and then talk about the side of Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui. Chen Qiyu is also a capable person, and he often gave advice to Hong Chengchou at the beginning, and his strategic deployment was very powerful. He is a very small planner, but not a particularly good executor, and his faults will be reflected, and here we will only talk about the battle in front of us.

Chen Qiyu's soldiers and horses were discovered by the Liukou when they walked to Gulan Town, and when they walked to the mouth of the river, Chen Qiyu also got the news that the Liukou army came to stop them. Liukou set up camp in a place five miles east of the estuary, and Chen Qiyu immediately gathered the generals and set up a strategy.

Chen Qiyu's point of view is that it is not terrible to have a large number of people, and there is no combat effectiveness. Moreover, the Liukou Formation is generally like this, the first is the elite, the elite is followed by Ding Zhuang, and finally the old and weak. Chen Qiyu's plan is like this, if he fights the rogues head-on, although he is not afraid, the chance of winning is sixty percent, after all, there are too many rogues. Therefore, it is better to divide the troops into three routes, one of which is to contain the Liukou in the front, and the other two roads, this evening, go around to the rear of the Liukou's side, and when our army confronts the Liukou head-on the next day, copy from the rear, and the rear army of the Liukou will be in chaos, and the front army will naturally follow the chaos, and our army will undoubtedly win.

After the battle plan was formulated, Chen Qiyu immediately deployed his troops and horses and proceeded according to this plan.

This strategy has proved to be very effective. During the stalemate, the officers and soldiers who went around to the rear of the Liukou side came out, and the back of the Liukou were all old and weak, how could they resist, and they were in chaos. Because the officers and soldiers were killed from behind, these old and weak could only run to the front, and this run would disrupt the front army, and the officers and troops would be in the back pocket, and the rogue army would be scattered, flanking the front and back, and the rogues were defeated and fled in all directions.

Chen Qiyu sent troops to chase and kill everywhere, while continuing to rush towards Taiyuan.

The two soldiers and horses won a big victory, and the time was the front and back, and the other wave went to meet Yang Yishan's Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other troops, but they did not get the news.

Besides, Li Zicheng is on their side. When they arrived in Taigu, they met the officers and soldiers and learned that it was Cao Wenzhao who led the troops.

Cao Wenzhao's name, which is like thunder in Shaanxi, heard this name, Liukou's head is big. As soon as they heard that Cao Wenzhao was leading the troops to come, the leaders of the battalions were a little stunned. It can be said that no one dares to go up and fight.

These people are all from Shaanxi, and more than half of them have fought with Cao Wenzhao, and General Cao's Guanning Iron Cavalry is too powerful, and fighting him is no different from looking for death. It's hard to save up such a little money, how can you just lose like this.

The seven leaders immediately convened an emergency meeting to study how to defend themselves against the enemy. After studying for a while, I didn't discuss any good solutions, and the final result was that early tomorrow morning, the big guys would go side by side and fight with Cao Wenzhao.

That's what these people say, but in fact, they all have ghosts in their hearts. Don't look at the number of people you have, but how many catties and taels you have, that's still a number, Cao Wenzhao didn't just bring 5,000 people, that's 20,000 horses, with his own rabble, how to fight with others.

is like Cao Cao Luo Rucai, after he returned to his camp, he told the leaders of his subordinates that when he fought tomorrow, he didn't have to work hard, and if the situation was not good, we would withdraw, run directly to the east, enter Xingtai, and then go south to Henan.

He had this idea, and the other leaders also planned to do the same, and when they returned to their camp, they also confessed to it. Since everyone has agreed on what they have in their hearts, why not discuss it and retreat now? The reason is actually very simple, the leader of the alliance is still in Taiyuan, let's run without fighting, it's too much buddy, how to meet in the future. So, it's better to sacrifice a little.

Besides, try to preserve the strength of your own troops and let other battalions fight. Good guy, the selfishness of the big guy is almost the same, and this battle is only out of the ghost if he doesn't lose. However, there is a brother who is more righteous, that is Li Zicheng, he did not tell his subordinates that he would run away tomorrow, but to boost morale.

This is good, the next day the two sides put on a posture and fought, and it was lively. Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry and Wujia Province's soldiers and horses were all first-class combat power, and as soon as they fought, the Liukou scattered and fled purposefully, only Li Zicheng's troops were not ready to escape, and they were stupid to fight with the officers and soldiers.

But the other troops ran away, where would Li Zicheng's men and horses still have morale, and they didn't resist for a while, they were rushed by Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry, and they scattered and fled for their lives. Li Zicheng's troops, running at the rear, it was unlucky, the officers and soldiers chased them and slashed them, and chased them out for more than 50 miles, and when Li Zicheng stopped to straighten out the soldiers and horses, he found that there were only a few hundred of his subordinates left.

The other troops of the Liukou also suffered varying degrees of loss, but those old and weak women and children were thrown down, and many young ones ran out, and the main force was all there. When Li Zicheng saw it, he suffered heavy losses, but he was angry in his heart, and he didn't have an immediate attack.

The leaders still sat together and discussed, but in fact, they had already known that it would be difficult to run. Li Zicheng had no choice but to follow along, he understood that Wang Ziyong was going to be defeated, it was better to run first than to run later, and now he wanted to go back to help, but he was already powerless.

After resting for a while, everyone didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that the officials and soldiers would catch up again, so they were in a hurry to flee for their lives.

It is not so easy for them to escape out of the Shanxi territory, and there are still two or three hundred miles away from the first target, Xingtai in North Zhili. Cao Wenzhao led the cavalry, and Wujia Province also lent all the cavalry under his command to Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Wenzhao led the troops to chase fiercely, and along the way, he killed countless enemies. Liukou saw that it was not possible to run like this, the goal was too big, so let's just run their own way. They ran separately, which brought difficulties to Cao Wenzhaoke, and his troops did not have many rogues, so at most they were divided into two ways. If you chase the Liukou in six or seven ways, it is estimated that many of them will have to be eaten by the Liukou.

Cao Wenzhao divided his troops into two ways to chase, and the two who were chased and killed by him were unlucky. Slippery and girly, there are more of them, and Cao Wenzhao has a strange temper, he didn't pick up a few beats, and he picked a lot of people to chase. The two cavalry, almost half of the two rogue bandits were killed, and then those rogue soldiers saw that they couldn't do it anymore, so they simply tied up the girl and the oil slippery separately and surrendered directly.

The three reinforcements all won, and they rushed towards Taiyuan one after another, and the rogues who surrounded Taiyuan City got the news and almost collapsed, and the big guys immediately came up with a unified opinion - to escape.

After all, if all the reinforcements from the imperial court come up and form a siege, it will be difficult to run away when the time comes. The battalions immediately integrated their men and horses, evacuated Taiyuan, and the Liukou's actions were clearly seen in the city, and when the Liukou just turned around and left, Wu Rumeng immediately ordered to kill from the south gate and go straight to the king's own camp.

In the past two days, the attack of the Liukou was sluggish, and Wu Rumeng concluded that the opportunity for a counterattack had come, and ordered the defenders to take out all the stones and sandbags in the hole in the south gate, and prepare to go out of the city to kill the enemy at any time. The opportunity finally came, all the camps outside the city had banners, Wu Rumeng of course knew that Wang Ziyong was the big leader of the current Liukou, so others could leave it alone, but Wang Ziyong must be killed.

The officers and soldiers fought out from the south gate and rushed straight to the Liukou, a total of five battalions at the south gate, all of them were retreating, they didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would dare to kill out. At present, they see the officers and soldiers chasing and killing, and the number of officers and soldiers far exceeds their estimates, tens of thousands. Seeing the posture, and the rogues have no intention of fighting, where can they resist, except for pulling their legs and running fast, they don't have the heart to fight at all.

This is good, before the officers and soldiers catch up, the rogue will be in chaos first, scrambling, trampling on each other, crowded, and chaotic. When the officers and soldiers and horses rushed over, the rogue was rushed for thousands of miles, and the ones who were rushed were scattered, and the infantry behind them were killed, and it was already self-evident what the scene was.

When the officers and soldiers chased and killed the rogue, there was no shouting to kill, because what they shouted was, "No matter who it is, capture the king alive for his own use, the official will be the deputy general, and the reward will be a thousand taels of gold!" ”……

This slogan was fatal, and the king was so frightened that he was even more in a hurry. The officers and men covered up and killed in the rear, and pursued all the way, from daytime to night, for a full fifty or sixty miles.

Needless to say, the five battalions of the rogue at the south gate surrendered one after another, and after a pursuit battle, the rogue didn't know how many died. Several major leaders were also not together, and they fled for their lives, and the king used his side, leaving only more than a hundred people with horses. The other footsteps, not one.

The rogues of the other three gates naturally did not have the courage to take the opportunity to attack the city, and they were all vying to flee for their lives. The entire surrounding area of Taiyuan is like a pot of porridge, but the situation is very clear, that is, soldiers catch thieves.

The rogues were chased around by the officers and soldiers, and there was no choice but to break them into pieces, so that they could avoid being chased by the officers and soldiers. But there is also a shortcoming, that is, there are fewer people, no one is afraid of you, the prefectures and counties along the way dare to send troops to arrest them, and even some landlords have mobilized villagers to hunt down and kill rogues.

Of course, in addition to hunting and killing rogues, there are also local officials who take the opportunity to kill good people and take away their property.

Wu Rumeng promised a heavy reward to the king for his own use, but it was also approved by the governor Liu Ce, and it is estimated that this matter, even if it is reported to the imperial court, it can be honored. Just because of this reward, the king was unlucky, and he chased and killed him the most, don't look at the king's own horse, but this horse has become the most obvious symbol.

Not only did the officers and soldiers beat him, but some rogues also plotted against him in order to be good. Although Wang Ziyong escaped a few catastrophes, more than half of his guards died, and even Wang Ziyong became suspicious. In the end, the king's subordinates looked at it, and simply let us kill him and go to the government to ask for a reward. As a result, Wang Ziyong only served as the leader of the rebel alliance for one month, and he lost his life because he was betrayed by his subordinates.
