361 is overwhelming

Li Xiang ignored the escape of the officials, and just wrote to Wang Yun asking him to replenish the personnel. But as soon as the people who fled back publicized, everyone else didn't dare to go, which made it much more difficult for Wang Yun to recruit officials again, and the children of the family avoided it. But because of this, most of the people in the second batch of supplementary personnel are children of poor families who have no background and are depressed.

Li Xiang did not wait for the second group of officials to arrive, and arrived in Yanzhou. When encountering the first city, the defending generals did not surrender or fight, but simply closed their doors. He thought that this would be fine, but unfortunately he was pressed by Li Xiang with a sword on his neck in the blink of an eye, and he had to open the city and surrender.

After taking the first city, Li Xiang did not stop at all, leaving only the necessary officials, and continued to advance, without even changing the army defending the city. He was not afraid of the general who had just surrendered after he left, he had already frightened that guy just now, and believed that he would not dare to joke with his own life. Even if he dared to joke with his own life, Li Xiang didn't mind coming back and really taking his life. Anyway, it's all a casual matter, not a hassle.

The same is true of the second city, the army defending the city is closed, but unfortunately the city wall can't stop Li Xiang, so he directly grabbed the main general and forced him to surrender.

The military generals of this era still retain a considerable amount of discipline value, and such a thing as surrender rarely occurs. But Li Xiang represents the imperial court, and the army he leads is a heavenly soldier, and theoretically all officials must be loyal to the imperial court, so Li Xiang's persuasion will be much easier. Guan Yu was once cornered by Cao ****, so he could only use the excuse of surrendering to Han and not to surrender to Cao. These generals also have similar thoughts, and there is no shame in surrendering to the imperial court, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's strict order. They all wanted to open the city gates to welcome Li Xiang.

But it's not that there is no dead eye, or it's simply the Yuan family. When Li Xiang came to the third city. I met a die-hard guy who not only did not surrender. Seeing that Li Xiang's army was approaching, he also released arrows to obstruct it. Li Xiang was not polite to him, moved behind him, and directly cut off his head with a sword.

The Lord will be killed, and most of the soldiers will want to surrender. But there are still some henchmen of the main general, desperately trying to avenge the master. For these people, Li Xiang can only fulfill their loyalty. Wielding the Longyuan Sword, in front of tens of thousands of people in the upper and lower parts of the real city, he ruthlessly slaughtered more than a hundred people. Even if the last dozen people were frightened and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He didn't let it go, he killed them all.

Through this massacre, Li Xiang also expressed his attitude, those who surrendered will not be held accountable, and those who resist will not be killed! Therefore, his subsequent itinerary was much smoother, many cities were directly opened and surrendered, and there were even suburbs that welcomed thirty miles and beat gongs and drums to invite Li Xiang into the city.

The speed of Li Xiang's attack. It's like a march, and no one can stop you wherever you go. Twenty cities in three days in a row, creating a record that has never been seen before or since. But it was too smooth, and it also made people feel empty. Yuan Shao is like the first male lord today. How could it be so easy to be defeated? What about his army? Why is it always missing? He couldn't have watched Li Xiang gobble up his territory.

Facts have proved that everyone is not wrong about Yuan Shao. He had already dispatched a full 30,000 elite cavalry, divided into two parts, and ambushed them a hundred miles away. After calculating Li Xiang's itinerary. At the same time, they fought from front to back, waiting for them to meet Li Xiang's army. It happened to be in a canyon. The two cavalry came from the front and back at the same time, making Li Xiang unavoidable. It can only be held hard.

The most important thing is that this time Yuan Shao did not arrange for the general to lead the army, but handed over all the plans to the command of the middle-level officer at the rank of lieutenant and military commander. The tallest of them is no more than a thousand men, and even if they are killed, it will not affect the overall situation. In this way, Li Xiang's decapitation tactics did not work.

Although Li Xiang has a good eye, when he found the two cavalry in front and behind, it was too late to dodge. Of the 10,000 troops under his command, there were only 3,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry, and the army also brought so many civilian officials that it was impossible to run fast at all, and it was impossible to escape the pursuit of Yuan Shaojun.

But this is difficult to ****, he simply didn't dodge, pretended not to know, and continued to move forward according to the original itinerary. When the two enemy armies in front and behind were about to be killed, he ordered his troops to climb the side hill instead of taking the main road. But it was the cavalry that attacked, and the speed was extremely fast, and before they could climb the hill, they could see the enemy pressing down like a mountain. Li Xiang's subordinates were so frightened that they desperately climbed up the slope, but they still climbed up only a few dozen steps, and the enemy was killed!

Li Xiang's men thought that this time they must be in a catastrophe, even if the cavalry could not climb the mountain, they dismounted and fought on foot enough to drown these 10,000 people with numbers. But what everyone didn't expect was that the two cavalry that were flanking in front and back did not slow down at all when they met, and collided directly with each other, and fought desperately! This stunned the people on the hillside, weren't they in a bunch? Why did you kill your own people and your own people?

In the eyes of the people on the hillside, the two cavalry were their own people killing their own people, but in the eyes of the two cavalry, they killed the enemy, and they naturally did not show mercy. It was only after the first round of collisions that they discovered that the soldiers and horses that were still enemies just now suddenly became their own people?

Such a strange situation made the soldiers of Yuan Jun a little confused! looked around, only to find that Li Xiang's army was watching a play on the hillside.

The soldiers of the Yuan army were remorseful and annoyed for killing their own people, and as soon as they found Li Xiang's traces, they immediately rushed up the slope with a shout. However, before they could go uphill, they saw a large number of men and horses emerging behind Li Xiang's army again, and at a cursory glance, there were as many as 50,000 or 60,000!

This frightened Yuan Jun, and he instinctively thought that he was ambushed? As a result, none of the shortcomings of the leading generals were exposed, some people wanted to escape, some people wanted to wait and see, and some people wanted to continue to fight, which suddenly made the army chaotic.

Li Xiang's 10,000 soldiers and horses were also a little dazed at this time, there was obviously not even a bird behind them just now, why did so many people suddenly appear? Fortunately, these people seem to be their own people, otherwise the two sides are so close, and they are attacking from behind, they have no power to resist at all.

At this time, thick dark clouds gathered in the sky at some point, covering the canyon with darkness. It was broad daylight, but it was as dark as evening, and I couldn't see the figure clearly ten steps away. At the same time, Li Xiang also gave the order to attack.

Li Xiang already had 10,000 horses under his command, plus 50,000 or 60,000 men who suddenly appeared, far exceeding the three-man cavalry of Yuan's army. And at this time, it was in the valley again, the cavalry could not charge, Li Xiang's men were still condescending, and it was a person who understood that the situation had reversed. Therefore, the morale of Yuan's army plummeted, but Li Xiang's subordinates were in high morale and rushed down the hill with shouts.

Although the twenty or so lieutenants of Yuan Jun had different opinions before, they were unified at this time. Even if he is loyal to Yuan Shao, it is not a hard fight after death, it is important to flee for his life first. So the 26,700,000 people who were still alive turned their horses around and fled frantically. At this time, it also rained heavily in the sky, and the road was muddy almost instantly, and Yuan Jun, who was eager to escape, slipped under his feet, and many people accidentally fell off their horses. As soon as they fall off their horses, they will never have a chance to get up, and will be trampled to death by their mates who are in a hurry to escape.

Yuan Jun fled, and Li Xiang's subordinates became even more excited, and immediately chased after him. It's just that how could the infantry catch up with the cavalry? Even if it rains heavily, two legs can't outrun four legs. Not long after running out, the 7,000 infantry under Li Xiang fell behind, and only 3,000 cavalry remained in pursuit.

It's just that 3,000 people are chasing 26,700 troops, so that anyone who knows will feel scared, but neither those who are chasing nor being chased and killed have not found this. In their eyes, there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 people who are being hunted and killed, but the number of people being chased and killed is rapidly decreasing, as long as they run slowly, they will be cut off their horses and trampled into pulp, so they can only desperately flee.

After chasing and killing ten miles, Li Xiang ordered the troops to be collected. According to the general situation, if one side is completely defeated, the pursuing side will chase at least twenty or thirty miles, or even hundreds of miles. The troops were collected after only ten miles, and their subordinates did not understand Li Xiang's order. But Li Xiang's invincible record along the way made his subordinates worship him very much, and even if they didn't understand, they resolutely implemented it.

Except for Shaoyin and Miaowu, who served Li Xiang closely, no one else knew that Li Xiang's face was as white as paper now. Just now, he made a series of big moves, and even used spells such as the Too Illusory Realm, Scattering Beans into Soldiers, and Calling the Wind and Rain, which completely overdrew his mana. After the pursuit, he also wanted to chase down, but his mana was exhausted, and he could no longer support the spells of the too illusory realm, once Yuan Jun understood and turned around and killed back, none of these people under him wanted to run, so it was better to accept it when it was good.

After collecting the troops, Li Xiang only passed on an order to be stationed on the spot, and he couldn't support the recovery of mana. As for the doubts of his subordinates when they saw fifty or sixty thousand companions suddenly disappear, there was no time to explain it. But there is no need for him to explain, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has only passed for a long time, and there are many veterans in the army who have participated in the battle to quell the rebellion, and they have seen the spells of the Yellow Turban Army, so they can be explained to their companions without being instructed.

Of course, Li Xiang's spell is much more clever than the Yellow Turban Thief, and the Yellow Turban Thief's spell can also be cracked with filthy things such as black dog blood, but Li Xiang's spell is invisible and traceless, and when the other party finds out, he has already been hit, or the distance is very far, and he can't tell that it is a spell at all, so he can't crack it. In short, in the mouths of these soldiers, Li Xiang has completely become a god, and he is worthy of being a heavenly immortal.

As for Yuan Jun, after escaping back, he surprised the designer's Fu Zhu and Xu You. I thought it was a stable strategy, but I didn't expect it to fail so badly. The army of 30,000 lost part of the cannibalism, some were chased and killed when they fled, and some of them fled, and when the number of people was counted, it was found that they had lost nearly 10,000! The remaining 20,000 people were also completely demoralized and could no longer go to war without a period of repair. (To be continued.) )
