Chapter 520: Defection

(Thank you yebaoyin, Fangfang, Brilliant World, Wind and Water 1976 for their support, thank you!) )——

The Luoyang army went south, stayed overnight in Lushan, Ruzhou, and then arrived at Luyang Pass for dozens of miles, and was about to enter the boundary of Dengzhou. The summer rain is coming, walking away, yesterday it was still rainstorming, today is already the sun is shining, the earth is like an oven. At night, it was hot and stuffy, Yi Feng lay on the straw mat, and in less than a moment, the straw mat was already covered with sweat human imprints. From time to time, mosquitoes buzzed, picked up a fan, and all the hot wind came out, tossing and turning all night, and it was painful. Before dawn, Yi Feng came to the river outside the city, only to see that the riverside was full of people enjoying the shade, and even many people had already soaked in the river. There were a few fat counselors who were afraid of heat, and they were even smarter, so they directly found a rope, put their heads around their necks, and then sat down in the river with their heads exposed, breathing on the surface of the water with only their heads exposed, and actually slept in the water like this.

In the morning's military meeting, Yi Feng simply did not hold it in the military tent, it was held directly by the river, Yi Feng and the generals all didn't care about the etiquette, they all wore only a pair of calf-nosed shorts and sat naked in the river, looking at the map spread on the bank. A group of generals such as Han Sengshou, Liu Wenjing, Li Mi, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, and Dou Jiande sat in the water and looked at the map to give their opinions. Guards and staff officers kept coming, quietly reporting and receiving orders.

Yi Feng Jing @ his upper body, showing a very good muscle, holding a bamboo cane in his hand, and drawing on the map.

Yang Xiu claimed to have 500,000 to capture Xiangyang, but the actual situation was that only 50,000 soldiers were cavalry. The Han army rode 130,000 on foot, and the remaining 200,000 were people and craftsmen. He also had several troops. There are about 100,000 people in the two passes of Tongguan and Pujin Pass in the east. However, these 100,000 people are also very watery, including about 50,000 government soldiers. The rest are all newly recruited recruits, at most the combat power of ordinary young and strong village soldiers. In addition, there are about 20,000 defenders in Xiaoguan in the northwest of Guanzhong, and more than 30,000 soldiers in Hexi outside the Guan. However, here, there is Taifu Yang Su to contain him, although Yang Su does not have many soldiers, but Shi Wansui and Xiao Guan's soldiers can't be transferred. Yang Xiu also sent people to contact Zhufan and asked them to send troops to help. At present, Goguryeo is blocked by us in western Liaoning, Tiele has been attached to the imperial court, and Du Lan is still shrinking in the grassland to lick his wounds. Tibet is far away and itself is still in the midst of war, only Datou and Tuyuhun and Southwest Yi are very likely to send troops. Therefore, this time we must fight quickly, if Yang Xiu is allowed to open the door and thieves, and let Hu Yi enter Guanlong, then the people of Guanlong will have to suffer another catastrophe. ”

"It has to be resolved quickly, the weather has become hotter and hotter, the hotter it is to the south, and most of our Beiya forbidden army are northerners. In addition, there were a large number of Turkic cavalry, all of whom were not resistant to heat, and under such high temperatures, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was greatly reduced. And there are many people who have symptoms of soil and water adaptation. Liu Wenjing said.

Yi Feng said to Liu Ying, "Last time, your Secret Service Department successfully rebelled against the Jingxiang Ministry, and the credit is great. After the war, the imperial court will definitely reward you for your merits. Now, I want you to be able to use your skills again. Find a way to contact Yang Xiu's marshals, generals, and officials from all over the country. If we can turn against them, it will go a long way in helping us to end the war sooner. ”

"For those who are stubborn, if you have the opportunity, you can also carry out assassination operations and get rid of them, and I will let the three battalions of the Qiwei Special Operations Battalion, the Special Logistics Battalion, and the Flying Tiger Special Operations Battalion fully cooperate with your actions."

"Understood." Liu Ying responded.

On the same day, Yi Feng ordered the army to march day and night every day to avoid the high temperature of the sun during the day.

Luyang Pass.

After nightfall, there is still a lot of people, close the pass, the bonfire is as many as the stars in the sky, the Guanzhong army that came to snatch Luyang Pass, and now the soldiers are stationed here.

Guanzhong 5,000 cavalry came to grab the pass, but the surprise attack failed, but was driven to Luoyang elite cavalry annihilated, now Yuan Heng is in danger of being ordered, leading 50,000 soldiers and horses to take Luyang Pass again. Although there are 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the same number of people, there are 100,000 people in total, but what is the use of people. Not to mention the 50,000 people, just these 50,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, most of them are newly recruited young people, although they also rely on the Musashi in Guanzhong, equipped with swords, guns, bows and arrows armor, it seems to be a little bit there, but the real situation Yuan Heng knows very well in his heart.

Either a bow is an archer, or a spear is a warrior.

Yuan Heng had to think about a problem at this time, Yang Xiu's failure was already doomed, and he didn't even have a chance to cut off Guanzhong and wait for the future. He also has to think about a way out for himself and his family.

In front of him, a man in ordinary guard clothes was sitting leisurely in front of him drinking tea at this time, which did not seem to be the behavior of a guard at all.

"What did General Yuan say?"

"Your Highness can really guarantee that you will not cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future, and you will be able to save my Yuan family after the fact?" Yuan Heng asked.

"Huh." The guard chuckled, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always made a promise, and since His Royal Highness has promised you, he will never break his promise." General Yuan is also related to His Royal Highness, both a monarch and a relative, this time the opportunity is rare, if you miss it, you will regret it, and there will be no more. If you lead your troops to submit to the imperial court now, although it is impossible to continue to be the secretary of the military department, Your Highness will not treat you badly, and the general's family will also be preserved. Could it be that the general still wants to be buried with Yang Xiu's traitor at this time? ”

Yuan Heng's expression relaxed a little, "If this is the case, I should cooperate." However, in our army, there are still people from the eldest grandson's family, and they are Yang Xiu's descendants. ”

"Don't worry, they have someone to deal with, as long as the general is resolutely on the side of the court and does your thing well, it is enough, and we will take care of the rest."

Yi Feng led the army to finally enter Luyang Pass, and Qin Qiong, the generals of Lai Cheng and the generals of the original defenders of Luyang Pass came to greet him.

"Yuan Heng has agreed to surrender, and many generals in Guanzhong have been rebelled by us, and now only the generals of the Changsun family are more resolute, and they are still standing on Yang Xiu's side, so as not to startle the snake, we have not officially contacted them." Liu Ying reported to Yi Feng.

"Is the eldest grandson going to block the car with his mantis arm? Okay, then let's let him see what it means to be irreversible. Summoning orders, blowing horns and beating drums, we will weigh the weight of the eldest grandson before we go out. ”

The Northern Ya Forbidden Army began to form a formation and make pre-battle preparations.

In the Guanzhong military formation, Empress Yang Xiu's second brother, Sun Kuan, the prince of Guanguo, proudly watched left and right: "Yang Lin is new to the army, and the soldiers and horses are tired, so he dares to go out of the customs arrogantly, this is self-defeating." ”

Yuan Heng said, "Deputy Marshal, Yang Lin is strong and strong, and he should not be taken lightly. In my opinion, it is better to retreat for the time being. ”

Changsun Kuan sneered: "Isn't the handsome man already scared, hahaha, the handsome man is in battle for me, and he will go to meet Yang Lin in person." ”

"Beat the drums, cheer for the Guanguo Gong!" Yuan Heng shouted loudly, and watched Changsun Kuan lead the troops forward, with a touch of coldness in his eyes.

The Luoyang army went out of the pass, and the eldest grandson Kuan led the Guanzhong army to meet the battle, and Yuan Heng retreated to the formation.

The horn sounded, and the Beiya forbidden army set up a standard battle formation, with the war army as the front formation, the left and right light cavalry guarding the two wings, and the infantry following the chariot formation. This tight battle formation slowly moved forward, Changsun Kuan frowned, and the military formation of the Luoyang army made him suddenly feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and couldn't get his mouth out. Just when Changsun Kuan was thinking about whether to rush into the formation first, there was a sudden chaos in the rear, and he saw that the rear army of Yuan Heng, who was originally in the rear formation, suddenly rushed forward, and Changsun Kuan's face changed drastically, "Yuan Heng, I'll do it-your mother!" ”

On the city, Yi Feng watched the battle from a high level surrounded by generals.

"Your Highness, Yuan Heng has done it." Liu Ying smiled and reported to Yi Feng, this is the handwriting of their secret service department, and it is their result.

"Well done, the Secret Service Department will take a big credit first. Gave orders, blew the horn of the charge, and crushed Changsun Kuan. ”

"Woooooo The horn sounded.

In the Luoyang army, the cavalry on both flanks began to accelerate and galloped forward, aiming at the two flanks of Changsun Kuan's department.

The eldest grandson was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and when he mentioned the horse lance, he had to turn around and kill the shameless villain of Yuan Heng first. At this time, a powerful crossbow suddenly shot from the side, and it was in the middle of the long Sun Kuan vest. The eldest grandson spat blood from his mouth and fell off his horse with a shaky wobble.

"Changsun Kuan is dead, Changsun Kuan is dead!"

"Defeated, defeated, run."

"Run!"

"Surrender to avoid death, abandon weapons to avoid death, and those who abandon weapons and sit on the ground are not to die!"

For a while, all kinds of voices sounded in the array, there was a Luoyang army in front of the rolling, and then there was a Yuanheng army in the battle, counterattacking the back, the eldest grandson Kuan's department could not advance or retreat, and the abdomen and back were subject to the enemy. In particular, there are still many generals in this army who have already been rebelled, and at this time, the entire army has fallen into panic and disorder, and the command system has been completely paralyzed.

The generals who were rebelled against kept shouting at this time that they were defeated, surrender and avoid death, etc., and at the same time took the initiative to take their subordinates and began to throw swords, just sitting on the ground with their butts and forming a circle, and some even held their heads in their hands.

The power of role models is powerful, and it can even be said that the herd effect is evident at this time. In the panic of the war, the panicked Guanzhong soldiers, especially a large number of recruits, had already lost their masters, and saw that many people abandoned their weapons and sat on the ground to surrender, and they also threw aside the knives and guns in their hands, and sat directly on the ground with their heads and waited for surrender, and some even lay directly on the ground, their whole bodies were trembling, and their mouths were reciting various gods and Buddhas.

"Yang Xiu's 50,000 soldiers and horses are finished." Yi Feng sighed and said, the army still has to rely on sophisticated equipment, hard training, smooth command, wise generals, etc. to be useful, such as Yang Xiu to make up the numbers, and there is no excellent command officer, no matter how many such an army is, what is the use, and it is not even enough for the Northern Ya Army to charge.

"It's 100,000, Your Highness forgot to count the 50,000 people in the camp behind, and they are also part of Yang Xiu's 500,000 army." Li Mi said with a smile on the side.

"Pass the order, surrender to avoid death, as long as they surrender, accept it, remember to treat the prisoners preferentially, don't make more killings, from now on, they are the people of the court again."

On the same day, Yi Feng led the army to Luyang Pass, on the same day, the 50,000 Guanzhong Army Deputy Marshal Changsun Kuan who came to attack Luyang Pass led his troops out of battle, Marshal Yuan Heng rebelled before the formation, the Guanzhong Army was defeated, Changsun Kuan was killed in the formation, the whole army collapsed, and then surrendered one after another!
