Chapter 156 Wings are inescapable
Gongsun Yue took the lead in escaping, and as a result, a larger chaos occurred on the east gate, except for a few sharp-eyed cavalrymen who followed Gongsun Yue and fled to the east in the direction of Anci, and the remaining large number of soldiers eventually became prisoners.
Zhao Yun watched Gongsun Yue flee for his life to the east, but he couldn't break away from the large group of surrendered troops in front of him, so he had to command his soldiers to seize the time to capture prisoners of war, clean up the battlefield, and make way for the continued pursuit of Gongsun Yue.
Sun Li, who had fought to the exhaustion at the head of the city, sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and did not forget to scold in his mouth: "Gongsun Yue, who was raised by a son of a bitch, can't slaughter this guy with his own hands this time!" ”
Li Yan, who had already cleared the battlefield at the West Gate, rode to the East Gate, and after seeing Zhao Yun, he said: "This battle is really unexpectedly smooth, I really want to thank Gongsun Yue for this order to besiege the city on all sides!" ”
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "When Gongsun Yue issued the order to attack the city on all sides, it was doomed that this battle would be lost very badly, or even annihilated!" ”
Li Yan said: "Whether you can completely annihilate Gongsun Yue, now it depends on Taishi Sima!" ”
Zhao Yun said: "There is Brother Lao Zhengfang in the matter here, I will lead the army to copy it from Sanbaan and completely force Gongsun Yue into Taishi Sima's car formation!" ”
After Zhao Yun said this, he immediately led the army to set off and chased in the direction of Gongsun Yue's escape.
At this time, Gongsun Yue had fled fifteen miles away in one go, he turned his head and looked around, and found that the enemy army had not chased him, so he quickly gathered the remnants of the soldiers behind him, counted them down, and found that there were only more than 800 horsemen left, and he couldn't help but cry out: "This battle is really unjustly defeated!" Let me see my brother again! ”
After Gongsun Yue said this, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and was about to kill himself, but he was stopped by the guards around him. The guards persuaded Gongsun Yue: "Although the general lost this battle, he fell into the enemy's ambush plan, and now the most important thing is to go to Yongnu to report this matter to General Fenwu, so as not to happen the same thing a second time!" ”
Gongsun Yue felt that what his soldiers said was reasonable, so he put away his long sword, turned over his horse, and continued to flee eastward.
After ten miles of progress, Gongsun Yue came to a place with high recesses on both sides, and suddenly his heart was alarmed, and he was about to evacuate from this place, but he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him.
The pursuers led by Zhao Yun caught up!
Gongsun Yue had no choice but to run forward, but after walking for three miles, he saw a low wall standing on top of the empty wasteland not far from the notch.
Gongsun Yue had a kind of horror when he saw a ghost in broad daylight, because when he went to Yangxiang from Anci, he walked here, and he had never seen this low wall at that time! Gongsun Yue walked forward a few hundred steps, and finally saw that the low wall in front of him was actually a tight formation of vehicles.
This car array was given to Gongsun Yue by Taishi Cibu.
Tai Shici, who had never shown up, took 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the road leading to Anci in Yangxiang, hundreds of chariots were closely lined up, like a city wall, completely cutting off the road for Gongsun Yue to escape, and 500 infantry armed with hooks blocked the part where the vehicles were connected, ensuring that Gongsun Yue and the deserters behind him were not allowed to drill into the gap.
Although the 2,000 cavalry behind Tai Shici were not elite, they were enough to stop Gongsun Yue's rout.
Seeing that the rout had arrived, Tai Shici urged the horse to walk out of the chariot formation and greeted Gongsun Yue without fear.
"A certain is Donglai Tai Shi Ci, come and go by name!" Tai Shi Ci let out a loud shout, and it spread far away.
Gongsun Yue had never heard of Tai Shi Ci, and when he saw that he was coming to threaten him as soon as he rode on, he was immediately furious, and his heart was born with the heart of a fish dying and the net was broken, so he urged the horse to wave a spear to fight Tai Shi Ci.
When the third-rate miscellaneous fish single-handedly competes with a super-first-class general, there are generally only two endings.
The first is to be killed instantly.
The second is to be captured alive in an instant.
Gongsun Yue was lucky, or really unlucky, because before he could get close to Tai Shi Ci's body, he was hit by Tai Shi Ci's short halberd and hit his helmet, and as a result, he fell off his horse and passed out.
Tai Shi Ci was not in a hurry to capture Gongsun Yue alive, but stood on the horse and shouted in front of more than 800 cavalry: "Gongzi is merciful, do not kill prisoners." If you want to live, quickly dismount and surrender! ”
The cavalry behind the chariot array then shouted in unison: "Those who want to live, quickly dismount and kneel and surrender!" ”
More than 800 deserters faced Tai Shi Ci's ride, but they couldn't give birth to any determination to resist, they turned their heads to look at the pursuers who were gradually surrounding in the distance, and then looked at the insurmountable car formation in front, and finally completely collapsed, and they dismounted and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
Tai Shi Ci only had one halberd, and he captured Gongsun Yue and more than 800 cavalry alive, mighty and strong!
Zhao Yun, who caught up in the rear, ordered the army to stop, waiting for the soldiers under Tai Shi Ci to capture all the prisoners, and then urged the horse to come forward to join Tai Shi Ci.
Just outside the city of Yangxiang, Zhao Yun picked Zou Dan with a gun, led the army to kill countless enemy soldiers, and captured 5,000 enemy soldiers alive, such a feats have been unmatched, at this time he was very kind to capture Gongsun Yue and more than 800 cavalry The credit was given to Tai Shici, who was in urgent need of military exploits.
Tai Shi Ci had already seen Zhao Yun and the army behind him, although they were separated by a distance, he felt a kind of momentum like Yuanyu Yuezhi, and he secretly said in his heart: Zhao Zilong is really heroic, just this calm and restrained bearing, far beyond the reach of people.
Tai Shici's military rank was lower than Zhao Yun's, so he took the initiative to beat his horse and come over to Zhao Yun.
"Humble Tai Shi Ci has seen Zhao Sima!" Tai Shi Ci saluted Zhao Yun respectfully.
Zhao Yun's current position is Sima of the Lieutenant Mansion of Wuhuan and Lieutenant of Ningcheng, Tai Shici is the commander of the Taifu Guard, and concurrently serves as the commander of the halberd battalion of the training regiment, with the rank of military Sima. Both of them have a Sima in their positions, but this Sima is not the other Sima.
Zhao Yun, as the Sima of the other department of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, has no upper limit on the number of commanders, and can even command the entire troops under the Captain's Mansion, and Tai Shici's military Sima position is one level lower than that of the Du Lieutenant, so Tai Shici is two levels lower than Zhao Yun. When a junior officer sees a superior officer, he naturally has to salute first.
"I have long heard Gongzi talk about Brother Ziyi, and when I see it today, he is really a strong man in the world!" Zhao Yun is a few years younger than Tai Shi Ci, so calling Tai Shi Ci his brother seems very natural and cordial, as if the two have known each other for a long time.
Liu and his two tiger generals finally met on the battlefield, and the effect seemed to be good, and each of them saved enough face for each other.
After Zhao Yun and Tai Shici converged, he immediately led the army to enter Anci, and then quickly transmitted the news of Yangxiang's victory to Jicheng.
After Li Yan collected the surrendered and wounded soldiers under Gongsun Yue, he suddenly found that the number of troops had expanded dramatically, from 6,000 when he entered the city to more than 12,000!
In the first battle of Yangxiang, the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Du and Zou Dan were all wiped out, including nearly 2,400 killed in the battle, more than 1,700 wounded, and more than 4,900 captured, adding up to more than 9,100 people, and the remaining more than 800 deserters were captured alive by Tai Shici.
Li Yan's 6,000 garrisons killed more than 400 and wounded more than 500; The 4,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun killed more than 300 people and wounded more than 400 people. Taken together, nearly 800 people were killed and nearly 1,000 were wounded, and the casualty ratio was less than 20 percent, especially the number of war dead was only about 10 percent, which can be described as a brilliant record.
Gongsun Du led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Yan and Zhao Yun's troops combined were also 10,000, but Gongsun Du's 10,000 soldiers and horses were all eaten by Li Yan and Zhao Yun, such a great victory is really a little unbelievable. This is the typical ending with mental calculation and unintentionality, if Gongsun Du led 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, it is estimated that there will be no good end, it is nothing more than that the number of dead and wounded soldiers on Li Yan and Zhao Yun's side is more, but it will not change the final result of winning or losing.
Liu He, who was in Jicheng, had been anxiously waiting for the news to come back from the front, and when he received the good news sent back by Zhao Yun and Li Yan one after another, he suddenly blossomed.
Liu He immediately told his father the news of the victory in Yangxiang, and Liu Yu also applauded after hearing it.
Liu Yu said: "I really can't imagine that the generals under my command are so capable of fighting well!" The battle of Yangxiang completely knocked out 10,000 soldiers and horses of Gongsun Yue, just like cutting off Gongsun Zhan's left arm, which was enough for him to hurt for a while! ”
Liu He said: "Father, Li Yan and Zhao Yun in front are asking for instructions on the next move, they think that they can take advantage of the fact that Gongsun Chan still does not know the fall of Gongsun Yue's army, continue to set up ambushes in the Anci area, and then send people to Yongnu to spread false news that Gongsun Yue was surrounded, induce Gongsun Chan to send troops to reinforce, and then look for an opportunity to annihilate him!" ”
Liu Yu frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "If Gongsun Zan is hit too hard this time, after he escapes back to Nanpi, I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to compete with Yuan Shao." ”
Liu He understood what his father meant, so he said: "Father thinks about the long term, even if we can let Gongsun Chan be defeated now, we are unable to control the land of Jizhou he occupies, and we are not able to compete with the strong Yuan Shao for Jizhou." Now it seems that it is best to force the 20,000 horses of the Shan Jing Department stationed in Lu County to Yongnu, and let him join forces with Gongsun Zhan, while we force Gongsun Zan to lead the main force to withdraw to Nanpi and continue to confront Yuan Shao, but it is a bit dangerous to do so. ”
"This matter is really difficult to choose and weigh, and the situation ahead is changing rapidly, so let Li Yan and Zhao Yun join forces for the time being, garrison Anci, and wait and see Yuan Shao's movements in Jizhou." Liu Yu's final opinion was to stop attacking Gongsun Zan for the time being, and wait until he found out Yuan Shao's movements before deciding on his next move.
Liu He agreed with Liu Yu's opinion and said: "That's fine, anyway, we have been on the defensive from the beginning, not a strategy of expansion and attack, and the surrendered troops and war horses captured by the victory in Yangxiang this time are enough for us to digest for a while." If Gongsun Chan is still a thief and has thoughts about Guangyang County and Zhuo County, then I will let Zhao Yun and Li Yan continue to beat him! ”
