Chapter 272: Annihilation

Yan Liang finally waited for those light cavalry to get close enough, and with the cooperation of more than two hundred infantry, more than twenty people succeeded in advancing the horses in the melee.

Yan Liang did not hesitate to go to the east after seizing the war horse, he knew that not too many of the five thousand infantry he brought out today would survive. Even if Chun Yuqiong arrives in time after receiving the news, he may not be able to defeat the cavalry in front of him, so he must escape as soon as possible.

It's just that at the same time as he started, a snow-white war horse with a whole body in more than a hundred places in the north also rushed out, and then the light cavalry behind him followed closely, first parallel to Yan Liang and the others, and soon the white horse overtook Yan Liang, and then before Yan Liang crossed the grove of two or three hundred steps, the enemy general was already in front of him.

Before Yan Liang could see the person clearly, the man was dressed in silver-white armor, and a gentian bright silver spear in his hand had already swung and stabbed at him, the rainstorm pear flower spear! Yan Liang once fought with Hebei Gun King Han * when he was a teenager, but he didn't expect the enemy general to be this way.

With his instinct, Yan Liang successfully defused the enemy's first move, followed by the second move, and then the third move. It's just that his eyes are fixed on ???????????????? Looking at the enemy general, the eye found that there were constantly cavalry passing by him, and it was definitely not just his own men, because at least a hundred people had passed on the opposite side in just a few strokes.

A very brutal fact, he was again surrounded, and all cavalry.

Sure enough, he heard the whizzing of bows and arrows again, and then the sound of arrows falling from his horse kept coming from behind him. Fortunately, his own armor is still knowledgeable, otherwise he would have been shot into a hedgehog long ago.

Yan Liang didn't dare to look back, because the enemy general's marksmanship was getting faster and faster, more and more tricky, poof, and finally when Yan Liang struggled to intercept the enemy general's fifth move, he was stabbed in the right shoulder by the opponent in a series of times.

The enemy did not stop there, but a shot was faster than a shot, Yan Liang's right hand gradually felt weak, barely supported four or five moves and was swept away by a shot and fell off the horse, the enemy general still did not give up, the tip of the spear followed his body against his throat, and several enemy cavalrymen next to him jumped down and tied him up solidly.

Yan Liang didn't have any chance to struggle. Closing his eyes helplessly, he knew that today, his vanguard, would be completely wiped out.

Zhao Yun said expressionlessly to the surrounding cavalry: "All cheer up, scatter the shop, and actually be robbed of the war horse by some deserters, shame!" Then people will come out of the woods and shoot them directly, and they are not allowed to approach! ”

With an order, more than 2,000 light cavalry surrounded this grove in three layers and three layers outside, and there was no possibility of escaping from here.

Those who were rejoicing that they had escaped from the clutches of the cavalry and found the glad outside the grove closed their eyes in despair! The enemy looked up to them too much, and used so many light cavalry to prevent them from escaping.

The battle around the grove continued, and there were Jizhou soldiers constantly pulling out from both sides of the grove, but waiting for them were thousands of light cavalry. Seeing that they couldn't rush out from the north, some of them entered the woods and headed east, while others simply hid in the woods and didn't come out, trying to wait for the opportunity to rush out again.

But how did they know that Wei Xuan had 5,000 heavy cavalry and 4,000 light cavalry in this grove, as well as another 2,000 infantry.

Those who escaped from the woods were shot without exception. Those who hid in the woods were soon forced to surrender on their knees, as heavy infantry and archers appeared on the west side of the woods, sweeping the entire woods.

Just look at the pitch-black armor and it looks like a few swords can hurt someone at all, and the rows of archers are too easy to hit them.

But soon they were desperate to find that even if they begged to surrender to the bottom, those cold-blooded killers ignored it and pushed it sideways.

In the open space between the two woods, the infantry phalanx of 5,000 people had been rampaged by Zhang Fei and his people to cut the small squares of the city, and then Zhang Fei led the people back to the west of the woods and began to advance, while Zhang Liao, the main general of the tiger and leopard cavalry, led the more poisonous tiger and leopard cavalry to press countless Jizhou soldiers from the east to Zhang Fei's direction. Those scattered weeks were scattered through the woods like three kills sent through the fingers, and then plowed over and over again by the hoplites.

Five thousand became four thousand, and four thousand soon became three thousand,???????????????? As they watched their companions being hacked to death by the enemy's butcher's knives, they all collapsed on the ground in frustration and gave up their resistance.

There are also some clever, quietly kneeling on the edge of the woods and begging for mercy, trying to survive by begging for surrender.

However, Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and in the end, most of the Jizhou soldiers watched in despair as their companions around them became fewer and fewer......

After about an hour, no one had escaped from the grove, and there were no weeks left alive in the clearing between the two groves.

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Wei Tong and others briefly touched their heads, the main general Yan Liang was captured, and many people have identified that Yan Liang's five thousand Jizhou elites basically died here, this is the goal of Jia Xu and others to deter the enemy.

Since the enemy did not have many outstanding boundless borders except for Yan Liang, under the siege of the four sides, although many bloody Jizhou soldiers also launched a desperate battle. The heavy cavalry still had many horses wounded, and many of them were counterattacked by the enemy while clearing the groves.

However, in general, it is still acceptable, the whole battle is less than an hour, with two or three hundred casualties, if the enemy surrenders may be less casualties, this can be regarded as the advantage of cavalry against infantry.

As for the harvest, in fact, except for some leather armor that can barely be used, the rest weapons are basically not looked down on by the people present. The battle ended quickly, but it was also difficult to clear the battlefield, especially to pick out the comrades from the corpses of the enemy, and to remove the saddles and stirrups of the dead and wounded horses.

Soon the two cavalry under Wei Xuan's command disappeared in place. Leaving only corpses and blood-stained ground, where the battle was quietly recounted.

In fact, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun both received a report from a foot thick, and some enemy scouts from a distance did not dare to approach. If it weren't for the purpose of continuing to wait for me, those scouts wouldn't have survived.

Now they need to leave some commentators for Chun Yuqiong in the back, of course, the armament of bilateral stirrups and heavy cavalry is not yet known to Chun Yuqiong.

On the border between Hanoi County and Wei County, Chun Yuqiong is leading troops into Hanoi, Yan Liang's scouts have always maintained close contact with him in the past few days, but today is a bit abnormal, Chun Yuqiong's first thought of Yan Liang This guy must be greedy and reckless, to seize the county seat, according to his character, it is estimated that none of them are enough. I had to know that I had sent scouts to find my way.

Soon his scout came back and stammered: "General, the vanguard Yan Liang encountered the enemy and was fighting fiercely, the enemy seems to have a large number of cavalry, because the scout isolated battlefield is not very real, but listening to the neighing and the sound of horses' hooves, the enemy's cavalry must be quite a lot." ”

Chun Yuqiong frowned, Yan Liang is also a famous general, whether he is greedy for merit or an ambush, he always has to send a few people back to inform him, is he sure that he will eat all the enemies and be ready to monopolize the credit? After thinking about it, Chun Yuqiong looked at Guo Tu, who joined the army: "Joining the army, how do you look at the combat strength of Wei Xuan's army?" Will Yan Liang be able to win? ”

Guo Tu did not answer Chun Yuqiong's question, more than ten days have passed since they arrived here from Gaoyi, and there is no news from Yu Fuluo's side, whether it is Yu Fuluo's defeat or early retreat, he has tried his best???????????????? The effort should have failed. The most important thing at the moment is to attack Hanoi and win, and he urged at will: "General, although most of the credit of the vanguard will also belong to you, but after all, the enemy is limited, and if the enemy in Hanoi lets the vanguard kill all of them, it may not be a good thing for the general." ”

Chun Yuqiong glanced at Guo Tu, this guy's kung fu to sow discord is really good, regardless of thinking about it, what Guo Tu said also makes sense. So Chun Yuqiong sent scouts to the battlefield while ordering the whole army to march in a hurry except for the baggage team.

Two hours later, when Chun Yuqiong rushed to the grove where Yan Liang had fought out of breath, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, there were more than 4,000 corpses lying on the ground, and when he got closer, almost all of them were Jizhou soldiers. And the personal guard of the pioneer general Yan Liang was also among them, but the main general Yan Liang was nowhere to be found.

Chun Yuqiong hurriedly called the scouts who arrived in advance to interrogate, the scouts were still that set of enemy scouts, they didn't dare to approach, but it seemed that in the end, the enemy probably dispatched infantry to clean up the battlefield and mend all the undead Jizhou soldiers. The corpses of the soldiers of the Weixuan Army were also found and taken away by the cavalry. However, in terms of quantity, it looks like more than 100 people.

Of course, Chun Yuqiong didn't believe it, so she whipped the scout, and then asked the other scouts, and the information she got seemed to be similar. At this time, a captain frowned and came to Chun Yuqiong and whispered: "General, judging from the horseshoe prints on the periphery of the battlefield, the enemy has dispatched at least two or three thousand cavalry. And those scouts should be right in their so-called full armament, but unfortunately there is not a single corpse of the enemy's soldiers and horses on the battlefield. ”

Chun Yuqiong looked at Guo Tu, Guo Tu glanced at the battlefield and said: "General, since the enemy has dispatched cavalry, the baggage of our army may be in danger." ”

Chun Yuqiong's expression changed when he heard this, this place is close to the Yellow River, an empty plain, and it is not difficult for the cavalry to bypass them and rush to attack the baggage team. If according to the scout analysis, the enemy's losses were only more than a hundred people, and there was even time to clean up the battlefield and carry away the corpses of the soldiers and dispose of the war horses, then how long did Yan Liang's team hold out? An hour, half an hour or even less? When did the Jizhou elite become so wasteful.
