Chapter 533: Outwitting the City
The soldiers under Yang Jun, who were resisting, saw that Yang Jun's head was raised high, Yang An loudly persuaded him to surrender, and suddenly, he completely lost his fighting spirit, and quickly handed over his weapons and surrendered on his knees.
The warriors were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of death in vain, and now, the main general Yang Jun has been killed, as the soldiers under Yang Jun, it is meaningless to resist, and there is no better choice than surrender.
Seeing that the soldiers under Yang Jun's command surrendered one after another, Yang An first read out several major charges of Yang Jun, and at the same time decided to pardon all the surrendered soldiers and accept them for use.
The soldiers who surrendered, seeing that Yang An not only pardoned them, but also allowed them to continue to hold their original positions, immediately expressed their willingness to follow Yang An one after another.
Under the joint attack of Yang An and Chen Ting's Liangzhou army, Yang Jun's 3,000 cavalry surrendered to Yang An, and all the rest were annihilated, which can be said to be a great victory.
As soon as the battle ended, Hua An, who was watching the battle in the rear, led Thunderstorm and other generals to ride their horses and run towards the valley to know the outcome of the battle at the first time.
Hua'an and Thunderstorm soon arrived at the mouth of the valley, at this time, the sky was already very dark, but the dense corpses in the valley could still be seen clearly, which was enough to prove that the battle was still quite fierce.
Seeing Hua'an coming on horseback, Yang An and Chen Ting hurriedly stepped forward to report the results of the battle, and asked Hua'an to continue to pursue in the direction of Xiacheng.
Seeing that Yang An and Chen Ting's troops had achieved such excellent results, Hua An first encouraged him, and then thought about a plan to continue the march.
At this time, it was getting late, and the soldiers did not rest during the day. According to Hua'an's idea, the soldiers should be allowed to rest for one night, and then march to Xiacheng early the next morning, but all the soldiers said that they would seize the fighters, make a quick surprise attack, and occupy the entire Wudu and Yinping counties at the fastest speed.
Seeing that Hua An was still hesitating, Yang An hugged his fists and said: "General, the so-called iron should be struck while it is hot, Yang Jun's remnants of the army are in Xiafen City, and our army marched overnight." Tomorrow morning, you will be able to arrive at the bottom of the castle. In the early morning, a surprise attack was launched, and the city was taken with lightning speed, and then the main force attacked westward and took the city of Wudu. Gudao, Hechi, and Fuxian are still under the control of the last general's cronies. The two cities of Yinping and Pingwu can also be taken by Shun Lì. In this way, within two days, all the seven counties of the two counties of Qiuchi will be taken. ”
Listened to Yang An's analysis. Hua'an felt that it made sense, so he made up his mind and marched with all his strength to the city.
"Thunderstorm, Yang An listens to the order." Huaan shouted.
"The end will be." Thunderstorm, Yang An replied loudly.
"Ben will order the two of you to lead all the men and horses under your command to immediately march down to the city, and you must capture the city early tomorrow morning." Hua An officially ordered.
"The last general commands." Thunderstorm and Yang An shouted orders, and immediately began to prepare soldiers and horses, and marched overnight in the direction of Xiacheng City.
Yang An's cavalry opened the way in front, and the 10,000 cavalry under the command of Thunderstorm followed, killing in the direction of the city.
Seeing that the thunderstorm and Yang An's cavalry had left the valley, Hua An looked at Chen Ting beside him and ordered: "Less than twenty miles past the valley is the Fucheng of Wudu County, our army immediately marched to the Fucheng, and rested in the city for one night, and tomorrow morning, then marched in the direction of the city." ”
"Yes, General, the last general will give the order." Chen Ting accepted the order and rode his horse to prepare.
After half an hour of preparation, Hua An led more than 10,000 troops through the Guò Valley, marched to Fucheng, and set up a large camp in Fucheng, and let the soldiers rest immediately, recuperate their spirits, and march to Xiacheng.
At this moment, it has entered the early winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, fortunately, the situation in Qiuchi is nearing the end, before the university flies, Hua'an is sure to completely solve the situation in Qiuchi, and completely control the two counties of Wudu and Yinping, so as to make it a barrier between Liangzhou and Yizhou.
Yang An and the cavalry of the Thunderstorm Department rushed in the direction of the city at the fastest speed, and in the early morning of the second day, they arrived at the city of Xiacheng.
Looking at the hazy city in the distance, Thunderstorm looked at Yang An, and asked, "General Yang, the city ahead is Xiazhuo!" Our troops can attack immediately. ”
Yang Anzheng replied: "General Lei, the front is Xiafen City, but our army does not need to rush to attack the city, we can outwit it, and let the defenders of Xiafen City take the initiative to open the city gate." ”
"Oh, what a clever plan to get the enemy troops defending the city to take the initiative to open the city gates." Thunderstorm was slightly curious.
Yang An calmly ordered the henchmen soldiers beside him, took out the collected banner of Yang Jun's army, and said softly: "Our army is rushing all the way, presumably the enemy in the city does not know that Yang Jun has died, as long as our soldiers march down the city under the banner of Yang Jun, the defenders in the city will definitely think that Yang Jun's army has returned to the city, for this reason, the city gate will definitely be opened, and once our army enters the city gate, the general's main cavalry can immediately rush out, join forces with our army, and rush into the city, so as to completely eliminate the main force of Yang Jun's army." ”
"Well, what a plan! In this way, the casualties of our army will be greatly reduced, well, just do this, your cavalry is less than 3,000 horses, and I will lend you more than 1,000 cavalry to fill the scale of 3,000 men and horses, so that it will be easier for the enemy soldiers defending the city to be counted. Thunderstorm felt that Yang An's strategy was very clever, so he agreed without hesitation and lent Yang An a thousand soldiers and horses.
Yang An nodded, led three thousand cavalry, under the banner of Yang Jun's army, marched down to the east gate of the city, and kept the team as neat as possible to imitate the momentum of Yang Jun's main army.
At this moment, the soldiers under the command of Yang Jun, who were on duty at the west gate of Xiafen City, were in a sleepy and hazy stage, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, they rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked out of the east gate.
The light in the early morning was not very bright, and there was a vague scene between the heavens and the earth, but the flags of Yang Jun's army fluttering in the wind were still very clear.
"The battalion master, the general, the general is back." The soldiers saw Yang An's army in the distance, and hurriedly reported to their superiors who were sleeping in the city gate tower.
When the battalion owner under Yang Jun's command heard this, he hurriedly got up, and went to the city wall to watch in person, and saw that outside the city was indeed the banner of Yang Jun's army, the number of soldiers, and the armor he was wearing were about the same, so he opened his mouth and ordered: "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly." After speaking, he crawled and ran to the city.
"Ka Ka Ka ......" Under the order of the battalion master under Yang Jun, the gate of Xia Dian City slowly opened.
The battalion owner led several soldiers and stood respectfully on the side of the city gate, waiting for Yang An's arrival.
Seeing that the gate of Xiafen City was slowly opening, the corners of Yang An's mouth moved, and he immediately ordered: "Soldiers, speed up, rush into the city, and drive the ......" After speaking, he sped up.
......Under Yang An's order, the three thousand cavalry behind him rushed to the east gate of Xiacheng at the fastest speed.
Seeing that the sound of horses' hooves outside the city suddenly became urgent, the camp owner who ordered to open the city gate suddenly felt that something was wrong, since Yang Jun led the army back to Xiafen City, there was no reason to suddenly accelerate near the city gate, this situation was weird.
Less than thirty steps away from the city gate, Yang Anping raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, kill ......" After speaking, he made a posture of attack.
"Kill ......" The three thousand cavalry pulled out their weapons at the same time, shouting to kill the east gate of the city.
The shouting of killing outside the city gate shook the sky, and the battalion master under Yang Jun, who was standing on the side of the city gate, finally understood that he had been tricked, and it was not Yang Jun's soldiers and horses who were riding horses, but the enemy cavalry who were going to attack the city.
"Close the gates, close the gates." The battalion owner gave a loud order to close the gates, and personally pushed one of the gates with great force, and the soldiers beside him followed suit.
But at this moment, Yang An's cavalry had approached the city gate, and it was obviously too late to close the city gate at this moment, and when the city gate was just half closed, Yang An had already led the cavalry to the city gate.
Yang An raised his spear and stabbed the enemy camp owner in front of him, and took the lead in the city, and the 3,000 cavalry soon took control of the east gate of the city.
"Send a signal to let General Lei's cavalry immediately reinforce our army." Yang An gave the order loudly.
Several henchmen waved the banners in their hands vigorously to signal the thunderstorm in the distance.
Standing on the top of a small hill, the thunderstorm saw the signal coming from the direction of the city, so he looked back at the cavalry behind him and ordered: "Soldiers, rush to the ......" After speaking, he led the cavalry under his command to rush to the east gate of the city.
At this moment, in Xiabian City, there are 5,000 main troops and horses of Yang Jun's henchmen and deputy generals, and the main generals under Yang Jun's command are stationed here, as long as these generals are eliminated, Yang Jun's power will disappear completely.
After learning that Yang An led the army to raid the city of Xia Bian, and followed the east gate of the city, Vice General Yang Jun was taken aback, and immediately gathered the main force in the city and killed in the direction of the east gate, he wanted to defeat Yang An at the first time to ensure the safety of the city.
However, in the heart of Vice General Yang Jun, there was always a question about how Yang An, who had only 500 troops left, had 3,000 cavalry all at once, and he also captured the east gate of Xiafen City with lightning speed.
Soon, at the east gate of Xiafen City, Vice General Yang Jun led a main army of nearly 5,000 and met the 3,000 cavalry under Yang An, and each was ready to fight.
The enemy general before meeting was really Yang An, Yang Jun's deputy general was really taken aback, Yang Jun led three thousand cavalry to chase Yang An, and now, Yang Jun has not returned, but Yang An led three thousand cavalry to arrive at Xiafen City, this situation is really much beyond his expectations.
Seeing that Vice General Yang Jun led the main force to kill, Yang An sneered at the corner of his mouth, and ordered his henchmen to raise Yang Jun's head high, and shouted loudly: "Yang Jun's head is here, those who surrender will not die, otherwise, they will be killed." ”
When Vice General Yang Jun heard this, he raised his eyes and saw that the head of the person who was provoked by the spear was indeed Yang Jun, which means that Yang Jun had died in battle. (To be continued......)
