Chapter 65: The Wolf Smoke Rises
Yang Zhao and the others waited in Liangxiang for a few more days.
During this period, two more groups of homeless people came, and Yang Zhao accepted them all, and asked about their situation, saying that it was the Wuhuan Captain Gong Qihou who led the troops to fight fiercely with the enemy.
But it is not clear how well the battle was fought and what the results were.
"Take them into the city and settle them first."
Yang Zhao said and said, "Captain Gongqi Chou, you shouldn't be able to win!" ”
He remembered that this captain was finally killed by Zhang Chun, and the Shanggu County side was completely destroyed, and the enemy officially went south to attack Zhuojun and Yuyang.
Liu Bei asked suspiciously: "Senior brother is not in Shanggu, how do you know that Captain Gongqi Chou will be defeated?" ”
"I guess!"
Yang Zhao didn't explain too much, called Fang Rui, and asked, "How many people are willing to join the army?" ”
"More than 2,000 people were raised."
Fang Rui recruited soldiers from among those displaced people, and there were quite a few people who responded.
Those displaced people also understood that the good country was willing to accept them, and they could not eat and work for nothing, not to mention that their homeland in the upper valley was destroyed by those Wuhuan people and rebels, and they also wanted revenge and resistance.
Only by repelling the enemy can they return to the upper valley.
Even if they can settle down in Liangxiang, they will have no fields and no food in Liangxiang, and sooner or later they will starve to death.
"We have prepared almost 10,000 troops in advance, and there are many bows and arrows, which are enough now."
When Fang Rui said this, he had to sigh that Yang Zhao was well prepared and had a long-term vision, as if he had already predicted that there would be this battle to be fought.
Yang Zhao nodded and said, "The recruitment is complete, take them to train as soon as possible, and it won't be long before they have to go to the battlefield." ”
The war in the north has begun, and Liangxiang is so close to the battlefield that it is easy to be affected.
The scouts sent out by Yang Zhao did not dare to go deep into the battlefield.
They just found out that Gong Qichou was fighting with the enemy, and what the latest results were, it was difficult to pass them back for a while.
The situation in the north seems to be stable, so Liangxiang is only on guard now, and there is no need to fight yet, and continue to wait for the results to come back.
Two more days passed.
This time, there were no displaced people going south.
Generally, if a place is occupied, the enemy will pay attention to the population, because there are people who have food, as well as troops to replenish, and people will be needed to govern in the future.
Zhang Chun and the others almost leveled the upper valley and began to restrict the flow of people to prevent the people of the upper valley from escaping south.
Fang Rui selected more than 3,000 soldiers from among the displaced people, and the strength of Liangxiang suddenly became stronger, and then asked Liu Bei to lead the whole army to train and prepare to face Wuhuan and the traitors.
"County magistrate, wolf smoke!"
At this time, Tian Yu hurriedly ran to the government office and shouted loudly.
More than a year ago, Yang Zhao built a beacon tower near Yanshan, next to the river valley, just to prevent this incident, and when he heard Tian Yu's words, he hurriedly walked to the city tower.
In the northern sky, a cloud of wolf smoke rushed up.
"The enemy is coming, start south!"
Liu Bei panicked: "Captain Gongqi Chou, they are really defeated?" ”
After saying this, he shouted in his heart!
It seems that the junior brother is right again.
Tian Chou and Jian Yong thought carefully for a moment, and looked at Yang Zhao again in surprise, the county magistrate's judgment was so accurate, he was right about whatever he said.
"County commander, the enemy is coming, are we going out of the camp to kill the enemy?"
Guan Yu asked first.
Yang Zhao thought for a while and said: "Tian Chou, you take the new soldiers to defend the city, Fang Rui takes our infantry, and the bed crossbow, waiting for the response by the riverside, the country and Zijing, follow me to lead the cavalry to meet the enemy first, senior brother, can your cavalry also go to battle?" ”
Liu Bei agreed: "Yes!" Second brother, third brother, you listen to the orders of your junior brother and go to war! ”
"Let's go!"
Yang Zhao hurriedly went down the city tower.
Yang Zhao had 1,200 cavalry, plus Liu Bei's 800 cavalry, and he quickly prepared and first led his team to rush out of the city gate.
Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao followed.
In the end, it was Guan Zhang and the others.
Two thousand cavalry, galloping towards the valley of Yanshan, soon approached the river bank, along the valley north, after they entered the valley, Fang Rui led a thousand infantry out of the city gate.
They also pushed those three-bow bed crossbows that Liu Bei didn't know what they were out of the city and were responsible for answering.
When the cavalry came near the beacon tower, they heard a sound of footsteps from the north, and the enemy was approaching the exit of the valley, so they quickened their speed to the north, and sure enough, they saw thousands of enemy vanguards moving south.
This group of enemies, including Wuhuan and Han Chinese, were all infantry.
Seeing that there were cavalry heading north, the vanguard of these enemies hesitated for a while, and the infantry did not dare to confront the cavalry, and the leader of the team immediately ordered a retreat to the north.
"Kill!"
Yang Zhao shouted, and the first horse rushed into the enemy's phalanx, and with a spear, an enemy flew up and down again.
1,200 cavalry, divided into three teams, Yang Zhao and three of them, each leading 400 people.
Yang Zhao carried out the first wave of rushing kills, and Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao in the back carried out the second and third waves of rushing kills respectively.
The last Guan Zhang duo also did the same.
They also led four hundred men each, charging alternately, covering each other's advances, not giving the enemy's vanguard a chance to resist at all, chasing behind the enemy, biting tightly, and constantly killing the enemy.
Several alternate charges, the cavalry killed more than two thousand enemy infantry.
"Let's go, don't fight!"
The enemy's general, just as he shouted, saw a black war horse, forcefully smashing through the defenses around him, and then saw the tip of the spear stabbing down towards him.
He didn't even have a chance to resist.
[Kill an enemy, experience +5000.] 】
The voice of the system appeared in Yang Zhao's mind.
This enemy's general is not very valuable.
The remaining infantry saw that their general had been killed, and the queue could no longer be complete, and then Guan Zhang and the two led the troops to rush forward to kill alternately, and suddenly tore open a gap, and hundreds of people fell.
The enemy saw the ferocity of the Han cavalry and ran desperately to the north.
But no matter how fast the infantry ran, it was far inferior to the cavalry, and they were soon almost killed, and only a few hundred people were able to escape from death, and fled north in a panic.
"The Han army is coming!"
The enemy infantry who fled shouted loudly, but they could not escape.
Guan Zhang and the others rushed up, killed them all, and finally walked out of the river valley and came to the northern foot of Yanshan.
"The county magistrate, there are defeated colleagues in front."
Guan Yu pointed ahead and said loudly.
Yang Zhao also saw that thousands of defeated court soldiers fled in embarrassment, and a group of Wuhuan cavalry chased after them from the rear, like cats and mice, chasing and killing while laughing.
Their laughter, I don't know how mocking it is, like mocking the army of the imperial court, how vulnerable it is.
Now that the imperial court has been defeated, Gong Qichou should be dead, and almost all the army has been wiped out.
The enemy now does not know how arrogant.
"Guorang, you cover them into the river valley."
"Zijing, Yunchang and Yide, kill the thief with me!"
"Kill!"
Yang Zhao was unhappy when he saw those Wuhuan Hu people humiliating the Han people so arrogantly, so he led the cavalry and quickly sprinted to kill.
