Chapter 1327: Surrender the city
In fact, whether Tao Huang dies or not, it has nothing to do with the entire battle situation, the Wu army has become a plate of scattered sand under the strong impact of the Han cavalry, and it is chaotic, the soldiers do not see the generals, the generals do not see the soldiers, and the command system of the Wu army has long been paralyzed.

In fact, this was completely the result of Tao Huang's miscalculation of the situation, he thought that with 35,000 infantry, he was fully capable of competing with 15,000 cavalry, even if it was the worst, he could be evenly matched.
It's a pity that this is just his wishful thinking, now the combat ability of the cavalry of the Han army, has long been the same as the cavalry of the Three Kingdoms era, in the field, no matter how many infantry is also a vegetable, it was easily crushed by the cavalry, if the infantry wants to compete with the cavalry, in addition to the deep trench and high base, it can only use a chariot such as a side box.
That is to say, after sacrificing mobility, the infantry can barely resist the cavalry by relying on strong fortifications, but if the cavalry does not attack, the infantry defensive position has no value.
In short, infantry against cavalry, is always the weak side, even if the number of infantry is large, can not establish an advantage, in addition to passive beating, or passive beating, as for counterattack, they can't even smell the sycophants of other cavalry, what kind of counterattack?
It was not self-defeating that the Jiaozhou soldiers collided with them so brainlessly, they couldn't even resist the first round of cavalry attacks, and the whole line had already collapsed.
In this battle, the Jiaozhou soldiers suffered countless casualties, and more people surrendered, and in just one hour, the battle was already over.
In addition to Tao Huang's death in battle, most of the generals and officials under his command surrendered, Liu Yin summoned them, asked them what their current position was, and sent them back to their old positions. Now Liu Yin has no time to send people to Jiaozhi to take over Jiaozhou, so he can only let these generals return to temporarily maintain the law and order of Jiaozhou, as for whether they are loyal to Ji Han after they go back, Liu Yin has no direct binding force, but they have all received a stern warning, if any of them rebel, there will be no possibility of being forgiven, and when the Han army enters Jiaozhou in the future, they will take their lives.
After this battle, these generals all saw the terrible combat power of the Han army, and heard that Liu Yin let them still stay in their original positions, which was already secretly called a fluke, how could they dare to rebel.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the two Han armies quickly returned to the division under the city of Guangxin.
Since the Han army did not encircle Guangxin City at all, the traffic inside and outside Guangxin City was naturally very smooth, and the Han army took the initiative to leave the city, Liu Luo guessed that it must be the reinforcements of the Wu army, of course, Liu Luo did not dare to go out of the city easily at this time, for fear of falling into the trap of the Han army.
So Liu Luo sent people out of the city at night to investigate the news, and got a return, sure enough, it was Jiaozhou Mu Taohuang and Guangzhou Thorn Shi Xu Qi who led the troops, which was less than 100 miles away from Guangxin City.
Liu Luo's face that had been tense for more than ten days finally relaxed, looked up to the sky and laughed, the depression in his heart was swept away, the rescuers came, and Guangxin could finally be safe and sound. It's not easy, it's really not easy, in the past ten days, although the Han army has not launched an attack once, Liu Luo has always been tightening a string, unable to swallow, unable to sleep at night, the Han army does not withdraw for a day, he will not be at ease for a day. Now that the soldiers and horses of Jiaoguang are here, the haze in Liu Luo's heart is swept away, and he is in a good mood.
It's a pity that Liu Luo's good mood only lasted for half a day, and he soon received the news that the Jiaozhou Mu Taohuang soldiers were defeated and died, the Guangzhou Assassin was captured and surrendered, and the reinforcements of the two routes were wiped out.
How is this possible? Tao Huang and Xu Qi led the most elite soldiers and horses in Jiaoguang Erzhou, and they have relied on this force to maintain the long-term peace and stability of Jiaozhou for decades, but only in one day, no, only a few hours, the Jiaoguang army collapsed and suffered a devastating blow.
This is Liu Luo who has been waiting for reinforcements for more than ten days, looking forward to the stars and the moon, but in the blink of an eye, there is no more, and Liu Luo, who heard the news, suddenly fell into the abyss of despair.
The reason why he stuck to Guangxin City was because there were still reinforcements to wait, and now that the reinforcements were gone, Liu Luo's spiritual pillar had also collapsed, his face was full of defeat, and he muttered to himself in despair: "How is it possible?" How so? ”
"Liu Taishou, the Han army has come to the city again, what should we do?" The lieutenant of the county cautiously asked Liu Luo, this time it was not only Liu Luo who was hit, the entire defenders of Guangxin fell into pessimism and despair, and no one thought that they still had any hope of defending Guangxin City.
Previously, there were reinforcements from Jiaoguang that could be expected, but now that the reinforcements are gone, who else can Liu Luo count on, should he let him count on the Jianye Imperial Court, which is thousands of miles away?
Mo said whether the Jianye Imperial Court could send reinforcements, even if it could really send troops to help, thousands of miles away, I don't know if it would go to the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Monkey, and now that the Han army is coming to the city again, will it give them the opportunity to wait for reinforcements again.
"What should I do?" Liu Luo was at a loss, and now he has nothing to do.
"Liu Taishou, I heard that Yulin Taishou Zhanping, who took the initiative to surrender this time, still does not lose his position as Taishou, even those officials in Jiaozhi County are all hired in their original positions, why don't Liu Taishou ......" The county lieutenant did not continue, but his meaning was already obvious, that is, to persuade Liu Luo to surrender the city, according to the current situation, after Liu Luo surrendered, he still did not lose his position, and these officials under them are also estimated to be hired in their original positions, so that they are all happy.
Liu Luo fell into deep thought, he is not the kind of die-hard who is loyal to the court of Wu, more often he still has to think about his own net worth and life, even Xu Qi, the assassin of Guangzhou, has surrendered, is it necessary for him to stick to the city and die for the country?
Thinking of this, Liu Luo said to the county commander: "Chen Duwei, you might as well send someone to the Han military camp to find out the truth, if Liu Yin can really treat those who surrender, we might as well surrender the city." ”
Liu Duwei was overjoyed, and immediately sent people out of the city to the Han military camp, and explained the intention of Taishou.
Liu Yin quickly agreed to Liu Luo's request, saying that if Liu Luo was willing to surrender on his own initiative, he would let him continue to serve as the position of Cangwu Taishou, and all the officials in Cangwu County would be hired. After Liu Luo heard the news, he no longer hesitated, opened the city gate, and took the initiative to surrender the city.
