After all, actual combat is not a game, and there is no situation where one side of the army will directly collapse after the master is killed.

Therefore, after killing Ji Ling, Zhao Yun still led the men and horses to rush back and forth to expand the results of the battle and spread the news of Ji Ling's death as soon as possible.

After a short period of fierce fighting, Yuan's army gradually disintegrated and fled.

Zhao Yun was able to kill Ji Ling this time, which can be regarded as a very fluke, not a fluke at the martial arts level, but a fluke at the fighter level.

On the occasion of the melee between the two armies in actual combat, the commanders of the two sides rarely have the opportunity to bite to the death and continue to fight.

Ji Ling is also a special situation this time, because last year he pressed Zhao Yun to fight for three months, Zhao Yun only defended the city in Xuyi City, and should not fight, which aroused Ji Ling's arrogance, and felt that the other party was just an existence that attacked and killed an unknown general.

This is a battle that has been paved for a long time, and both sides feel that they are very sure, so they will not back down.

And after killing Ji Ling this time, Zhao Yun's brave name can no longer be hidden, and the next enemy general will not easily fight with him.

In this battle, when Ji Ling arrived at the battlefield, it was already afternoon. The two sides tugged at each other before the battle, so soon after the collapse of Yuan's army, it was dark.

The number of captures and prisoners of the Han army is actually not much, and it accounts for two or three percent of the number of Ji Lingjun, and half of them are captured in pursuit.

Zhai Shu saw the noise of the southern city, and he was really frightened, and he wanted to organize a counterattack, but after a while, with no casualties on both sides, and the soldiers of the Han army were indeed brave, listening to this sound of "the right general 70,000 rebelled against the small army into the city", the hearts of the people of Liyang were united, and they opened a few doors to escape from the city.

Therefore, when the Han army launched a firefight, it still occupied an absolute advantage in strength under the unit length wall segment. For a time, hundreds of people shot at the thin strength of only a few dozen soldiers at the head of the city, and the counterattack firepower at the head of the city was very strong.

Yuan Jun clapped his hand and said: "In this case, he will stay in the camp, and tomorrow during the day, you will pretend to retreat at the same time with the seven gates, and tomorrow night he will go with you to the south gate to call the door." ”

The sentry was in charge of patrolling the camp that night, and I walked slowly into the tent, and there were few sentries in front of me, surrounded by a strong man in leather armor.

Zhai Shu also planned to annihilate the enemy, but he just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city, and it would be the worst if he could scare the enemy into escaping by himself.

Zhai Shu heard Zhai Shu say this, my grasp seems to come from gambling on luck, but out of confidence in Ji Ling's charm value, and Zhang Fei couldn't be more resolute in approving.

Seeing that the wounded soldiers on Zhai Shu's side were also bandaged, the seriously wounded who could walk were also carried off the warship on stretchers and withdrew. If it was unexpected, Yuan Jun was very slow to withdraw.

Liyang was harassed on all sides, and dozens of people were killed and injured in vain, which really made Xun Zheng, who had not yet become the main general, very angry.

But on the night two days before Yuan Jun killed Yuan Tan, Yuan Jun, who was in the small camp, suddenly got a report from the sentry officer under his command.

It is estimated that not more than half of them will be able to return to Shangcai and Shouchun in the formation, and the remaining half will be scattered in a targeted manner, and even if they can return to the team, it will take a long time to regain them. And with the morale situation behind Liyang, the proportion of people who are willing to return to the team before the break up will definitely be low.

I have carefully designed the kind of reply in writing, with the reed arrow as the response, which shows that I am deeply afraid that the matter will be revealed. As for his worries that there is no risk in opening the door together, those cannot be compensated for by other details. For example, when you enter the city first, you will divide a song of elite cavalry into the city, and ensure that the main force will retreat before seizing the inner gate at the same time.

This strong man glanced right and left, and then handed down the big bamboo tube tightly held in his hand, the bamboo tube had not been sealed yet, Zhai Shu saw that it was the seal of the right internal history.

Zhai Shu nodded, it seemed that Yuan Shu was very cautious. I even had someone to go back to the city with an archery book, which should be for fear of being picked up by the insiders before seeing the flaws. And if you shoot a bamboo arrow or a reed arrow, you can see that there is any problem.

Although the Han army spent very few arrows, it took advantage of the casualty exchange ratio. When the soldiers on the right and left sides of the city head also rushed over to release arrows, the Han army had not yet hurried forward.

Xun Zheng analyzed it for a while, and his mood was much more relaxed. I still took that matter and found Yuan Chuan to discuss, wanting to hear what Yuan Chuan thought was the omen of this matter.

……

The messenger replied: "Uncle is afraid that there is too little contact, and he wants you to return, if the general is not interested in going to the appointment, tomorrow during the day, he can make a feint at the seven gates at the same time, and shoot some bamboo arrows or reed arrows with no clusters of arrows at the south gate." If my uncle picks it up when he patrols the city, he knows that the general is going to make an appointment. ”

……

Zhao Yun broke Zhai Shu, in fact, it was two days later than Zhai Shu's breaking Yicheng, but Zhai Shu's attack target was the closest to Wuhu, just on the opposite bank of Wuhu's river, so after the good news was sent back to Ji Lingmian on the day of breaking the city, it was one day earlier than Zhai Shu's good news.

In today's battle, although Zhai Shu won all the battles, I only had 7,000 cavalry after all, and the physical exertion of the soldiers was very small, and the casualties were not less than a few hundred. If I tried to attack Yicheng again, the hope was very slim, and the number of defenders was eight times that of mine.

At that point, I was satisfied, and I didn't back down anymore. It is estimated that the attention of Liyang in the entire Huainan, and even a considerable part of Liyang in Lujiang County in the south, have been pulled all the way by me.

In this way, there were more than 1,000 people left in the city to resist desperately, and they were killed until the sky was completely light, and at the end of the hour, the battle in the city had not yet begun.

Before Zhang Fei heard the details, he still felt that it was very dangerous, and asked in a high voice: "If this Yuan Lian is not cheating, what if the general is ambushed in Wengcheng?" Even if I agree to open the inner two gates at the same time, but except for the abnormal city gates, those cities have no gates, and before I open the inner gate, the general rushes to the back, and I suddenly put the gate on, how is it bad?

Yuan Jun held the silk silk and asked, "If you respond, does he need to enter the city again to report?" ”

Anyway, the person who came has not been searched yet, and there is a small weapon hidden under his body, so it is possible that the assassination will be successful. Yuan Jun had a sword on his desk, and he was afraid that the other party would play tricks.

Ensure that the vanguard rushes to the inner door, and there is still no change, and the main force of the front continues to run with him.

Early the next morning, Yuan's army reorganized its troops and horses, preparing for a feint attack at the same time. In fact, it will really be attached to the city, but it will be sent to the crossbowman to carry the small vine shield, and shoot at the thin strong place at the head of the city for a while, and then retreat very slowly.

When Zhang Fei, the military commander, heard about Yuan Jun's actions, he hurriedly came to dissuade him, and felt that that kind of shooting was meaningful.

Because the Yuan army pulled the enemy army first, Zhao Yun's side encountered a little resistance, and the enemy army was also panicked, and several large county towns with extremely weak troops knelt down in two rounds of onslaught.

Escaping by boat was based on the delay in full reconnaissance, and the enemy army had still arrived, and it was only a few dozen days away that it was discovered by its own side, so it was possible to talk about taking advantage of water transportation to withdraw the troops.

Before hearing this, Yuan Jian congratulated him in a loud voice: "This must be because Yuan's army is about to withdraw his troops, and he is afraid that the general will pursue him, so he shook a shot after leaving to scare the general."

The code of his own people, the length and frequency of the firelight, Yuan Jian also knows, Yuan Jun only explained to the henchmen I sent to retreat, so when he saw that kind of fire, it must be his own people who went down to the city tower.

Moreover, when resting, he had to cast out the cavalry scout search net far away, so that once he found that there was no small enemy situation being seduced, he could not immediately get off the boat and go up the river.

The guard general Xun Zheng knew that he was in front of the enemy, and even took the initiative to lead the team to escape, bringing a full 7,000 people, and retreated from the West Gate to Shangcai.

It was too slow, and I got a reward from the guards of each wall, saying that Yuan's troops seemed to be running out of arrows, and the arrows shot down were mixed with bamboo arrows and reed arrows, and the lethality was extremely high.

And I may have known that the armament I carried was enough to support a long battle, so I delayed the sharpening of some bamboo arrows and reed arrows. Before leaving, he was too lazy to transport back those shoddy things, and he was reluctant to throw them away, so he took advantage of the first feint to use up those things. ”

Yuan Jun observed for a few minutes, and sure enough, the pioneer I sent passed through the two gates smoothly, and before he even turned back to climb down the city tower, he used the torch to make Zhai Shu's own bad code-

When Ji Ling heard the news of Xiaoxi, he immediately sent someone to inform Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin, so that these two roads would also step up and take advantage of the good opportunity when the main force of Liyang was completely mobilized to defend Shouchun, and hurriedly expand the results of the small battle and stake the land.

Zhai Shu finally broke through Yicheng County, which was considered the eighth day of midnight and the seventh day of dawn before killing Yuan Tan, not the seventy-seventh day of July.

It was a long time, and when I saw that the fire at the head of the city was lit up and extinguished eight times, and the small gate in front of me and the gate of the urn were opened, Zhai Shu was also suspicious of me, so he first asked a henchman Qu Junhou to take 800 horsemen as the vanguard, and rushed straight into the city to snatch the inner gate of the urn city.

Although it will be a little wasted of half a cup of tea, it will slightly increase the danger, as long as the city is indeed its own people, the time difference is also afraid.

Pulled out a large piece of silk outside, a total of dozens of words, read it at a glance, signed by Yuan Lian, and used a seal at the end of the silk, that time it was the seal of Yuzhou Don't.

The Han army was very slow to follow the deployment of the Yuan army, and acted up, and sent archers to the gates to shout and shout, thinking that they were suspicious, and then went forward to find the weak and strong place under the city, concentrated superior forces, and suddenly suppressed the city head with cavalry.

The messenger promised to be brought up to rest.

Since Yuan's army didn't go deep alone, my good news was passed directly south to Zhai Shu, and I was still occupied by Yuan's army at that time. So I asked the messenger to return a little bit and go around it, go back to Huailing first, and then go to Chuxian by land, and go to Wuhu to report the news through Zhao Yun's defense area.

Ji Ling himself still took Lu Su with him and was stationed in Wuhu, and did he come out in person.

The messenger hurriedly informed that it was Yuan Lian's nephew.

The good news sent by Yuan Jun was a little later than Zhai Shu's side to conquer Liu Bei and Wujiang - Zhao Yun was a soldier from July 11, Wujiang was broken at 77, and Liu Bei was broken at 77.

In the past, I only need to rely on the transportation hub of Yicheng, so that Liyang feels that there is danger everywhere, and he dares to relax the encirclement of me, which is enough.

Before returning to the camp in the afternoon, Yuan Junjun had a full lunch and finished sleeping in the morning.

There are also seventy percent of the Ji Ling army, but they just retreated or fled, and with Zhao Yun's interception, they couldn't return to Yicheng City, so they had to flee in other directions.

Yuan Jun put down the silk silk and thought for a while: "Yuan Lian?" You have heard that Xuan Degong once raised my Maocai, and I was trapped in Yuan Shu's traitor, perhaps out of Naia. Who is Yuan Lian? ”

Even if it is picked up by the main battle faction that resolutely resists, it will only think that the supply of Yuan's military department is sufficient, the front service is easy, and the prefabricated arrows carried by the army have not been shot poorly, and they will end up with the crude substitutes for temporary processing.

Considering the safety of the lone army, Zhai Shu wanted to wait for the enemy's reinforcements from his own direction to join up with the defenders of Yicheng. Therefore, at least two days of rest and recovery to a bad state, Yuan Jun planned to withdraw.

The number of defenders in the city is still smaller than mine, and it will definitely be very troublesome to fight to the death in the streets, and the variables are extremely small.

Therefore, as soon as the soldiers retreated from the city, they shouted in unison: "General Hanyou's 70,000 reinforcements have broken the city!" The one who descends is the one who kills! ”

After all, there were only more than 8,000 people left in Yuan's army, and a considerable number of them could still shoot arrows, and it was the limit that each side of the city could send eight or seven hundred people.

Yuan's army captured more than 1,000 prisoners, and placed them outside their camp before disarming, and then rewarded the soldiers and rested in front of them.

Zhai Shu was also bound to withdraw his army, pulling all his 8,000 people out of the city, and spent a day completely controlling the whole city and restoring order.

There are still 10,000 defenders in the city, if the general wants to seize the city, he still needs to bluff before opening the door, he can be greedy for less, Yicheng South Gate does not have an inner urn city, if you see the seven doors inside, it can be re-entered, I am afraid that there is no change, Yuzhou don't drive Yuan Lian to bow down. ”

Seven watches outside the night, the fire head army got up first, and buried the pot to make rice, the soldiers were full of food and went out of the camp during the eighth watch, bypassed Yicheng County, walked a watch, and went around to the south gate on time for the seventh watch.

So when the good news arrived in Wuhu, the name was July 77, and Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin had not attacked from Wuhu and Chaisang for eight or seven days.

It is a good thing to take righteousness, but in fact, it is not a small situation related to the lord. The task that the lord asked the general to complete, the general has not completed it badly enough! It's the city that is missing! Why take the risk? ”

Even if there is no advantage of the warship, this is because he only escaped by boat when he was about to fight, so that he would only be hit by half-crossing and cover up a small defeat.

You have always faintly felt that the lord does not have a magical ability to make people run from thousands of places abroad, and it seems that it is difficult for anyone who has been befriended by me with kindness and righteousness - it is you, who was also thousands of miles away from Changshan's hometown last year, and told the lord that he was in a difficult situation, so he wandered and floated to the sea. ”

……

The content of the letter is generally named: "If the general has no intention of attacking the city, he can go around to the south gate at seven watches tomorrow night, see the fire of the city tower light up and extinguish eight times, and then open the seven gates in front of him, and the general can enter." Before Yuan Tan's death, the guard general Xun Zheng became more and more vigilant, the north gate is not guarded by me personally, you have to get closer.

Even the Yuan army would choose to release arrows at the distance of the city gate, so as to avoid the enemy in the city looking too many archers and daring to rush out of the city.

Because the defenders under the city walls are evenly distributed, as long as they see that the enemy army has not gathered ladders and ants, the defenders will also deliberately focus on the defense of a certain place.

Yuan Jun's expression was solemn: "The importance of Yicheng is far from being comparable to Huailing and Zhongli. And if Yuan Lian is not cheating, why should he beware of your reply? I can pretend that 'you have full control of the south gate, and the general will reply to the letter because he is worried about sending it to the insiders'.

And you are gambling on adventure, you are betting on the virtue of the lord to inspire distant people. He went to Hebei with you last year, and he knew that when you accompanied Mr. Kong Ming to meet Zhang Zhu, Zhang Zhu was cold and humble. At that time, Mr. Kong Ming had not yet made suggestions for Zhang Zhu, but Zhang Zhu was not grateful to the lord for raising me Maocai back then, and he was very grateful.

It was only at that time that Yuan Jun told Zhang Fei the secret: "Today is just a feint, just to test the reality of the enemy army and secretly contact." Tonight is the real takeover. ”

……

Xun Zheng has some brains, listening to Yuan Lian's kind of reader's interpretation, he finally felt that the logic was very self-consistent, and thanked him proudly for his advice, but he was worried about this matter again.

"Charge with you! Before retreating from the city, shouting and setting fire to the enemy! With a move of the spear, Yuan Jun finally entered the city.

In the direction of Yuan Shu's base camp in the west, there were only signs of continuing to weaken the defense, but there were no troops who took the initiative to retreat to Yicheng, it should be that Zhai Shu's defeat report had just been transmitted, and Liyang still had time to organize new reinforcements.

The sentinel immediately reported: "Captain, when you were patrolling the camp just now, you found this person sneaking close, and you captured him." I said that I had to meet the lieutenant in person for no confidential matters, so you brought it with you before the search. ”

Before Yuan Jun returned to the camp, he rested his soldiers and healed the wounded soldiers.

Zhai Shu waved his hand and motioned for the sentry to enter the tent and wait.
