The night of fighting lasted until the east was white, and then it gradually came to an end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe generals of the Yan army led the troops to gather at Yuan Ding's Chinese army, which is now the temporary headquarters of Yan Wang Yuanqi.

As an arrow unit, it was responsible for taking the lead, breaking through the front camp of the Yuan army and the Qi Tian of the Chinese army one after another, and gained the most in this battle. He took 20,000 elite horses of the Flying Dragon Army to step into the company camp, all the way through the pass and beheaded the generals, and the department killed a total of seven generals of the Yuan Army, more than 10,000 soldiers, and made great achievements, adding a brilliant sum to the Yan Army and the Flying Dragon Army!

Second only to Qi Tian, Zhou Yu and Zuo Ci were responsible for setting up an ambush on the way to Yuan Ding's retreat, these two took advantage of the opportunity that Yuan Jun's courage had been lost and the army's morale was unstable, and they also killed more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers, which made Zhou Yu and Zuo Ci regret that although they had made great achievements, they failed to catch Yuan Ding, and a group of Yuan Ding's generals desperately protected him and escaped.

Zhao Hu and Ma Yue, who were responsible for attacking the left and right battalions, had comparable combat records, and both successfully broke through Yuan Ding's two flank battalions, and the number of beheadings was relatively close, both around 6,000, and more than 2,000 troops were captured. Yuan Ding's two-wing battalion, under the attack of these two people, the battle damage was as high as eighty, and only three or four thousand people escaped.

Compared with the above people, the veteran Huang Yong killed the least number of Yuan troops, only less than 5,000 people, but he successfully burned a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the rear camp of the Yuan army, and also captured more than 3,000 Yuan troops. After the war, Yuan Qi sent people to check the grain and grass of the Yuan army, hoping to find something useful from the ashes, but Huang Yong's fire was too thorough, and the Yuan army piled up a mountain of grain and grass, and in the end only less than one-tenth of it was retained, but fortunately, a large number of iron weapons were not so easily burned, and the handles were burned. But the blade was retained, although it had been burned and deformed, and could not be directly distributed to the troops, but Yuan Qi still ordered all the weapons to be put away, Yuan Qi believed that by handing over these scrap iron to Wang Yezi and Ma Jun, they would be able to turn waste into treasure.

As for Yuan Qi himself, he led the Tiangui Army as Qi Tian's follow-up response force, and his gains in this battle were also considerable, not only killing Yuan Ding's general Lu Weihuang, but also killing most of the Yuan army in the front camp, beheading at least more than 7,000 people, and subduing more than 2,000 troops.

The ones with the least harvest are Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng, who are cruising in the periphery, they can only hunt and kill some fish that have slipped through the net, and among these fish that have slipped through the net, there is no general Yuan Jun, and those generals have fled with Yuan Ding. With the strength of the two of them, they only harvested the lives of three or four thousand small fish and shrimp. Seeing that several other generals were happily reporting their exploits, Zhou Tai was greedy, and ran directly to Yuan Qi and Zhou Yu, complaining that this mission was too slight and did not let him exert his strength at all, and asked to be the vanguard of the army in the next decisive battle. Yuan Qi and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, appreciating Zhou Tai's desire to fight. In the end, Yuan Qi personally promised Zhou Tai that he would be a pioneer general in the next decisive battle.

When Yuan Qi led the army back to Hejian City, Zhuge Liang, who stayed in Hejian, had already prepared a banquet to celebrate everyone's achievements. When the generals were drinking with their hearts open, Zhuge Liang quietly withdrew from the hall and went to count the spoils of this battle.

It took half a day. Zhuge Liang made the statistics of all kinds of loot categorized clearly. In the end, more than 47,000 enemy troops were killed, more than 9,800 Yuan soldiers were captured, and more than 60,000 weapons of various types were captured, which could still be distributed to the army for continued use. Zhuge Liang classified the damaged weapons into a category with the burned weapons, and counted them as scraps, and harvested more than 10,000 catties of fine iron in total; in addition, he also seized more than 30,000 pairs of intact iron armor, which could just be used to equip the newly recruited foreign soldiers; war horses were also a big harvest, after the statistics after the cut, Zhuge Liang picked out 20,000 good horses that met the requirements of the Yan cavalry among the captured war horses, and the rest of the inferior horses and mules and horses for transportation, adding up to more than 30,000 horses, if this batch of eliminated horses was handed over to the people of the three new states, let them be used as livestock for farming, presumably will greatly save the labor of the people and help them increase the yield of their farmland.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the Yan army replenished the physical strength and spirit consumed last night, and Yuan Qi gave them a new task.

The purpose of today's mission is very clear, that is, to take advantage of the fact that at the beginning of Yuan Ding's defeat, when the fleeing soldiers had not had time to return to Yuan Ding's side, and Yuan's follow-up troops could not arrive, they would take the two counties adjacent to Hejian - Bohai and Zhongshan in one fell swoop. Bohai County is in the east of the river, adjacent to the Bohai Bay in later generations, and taking Bohai County is equivalent to opening up the sea passage from Youzhou to Jizhou, and at that time, the 60,000 naval troops of Gan Jing, the naval commander, will be useful. At the same time, the communication and mutual support between the Yan Army and the Jiangdong Army will become smoother and faster.

Zhongshan is in the west of the river, in fact, Zhongshan is not a county, but a county, but Zhongshan has long been without the king of Zhongshan, Zhongshan country, but only in name retained the title of the county, in fact, it has long been reduced to a county, Zhongshan's strategic position is not prominent, but to take Zhongshan, it will be the north of Jizhou and the city of the state, convenient for Yuan Qi to transfer people from the state at any time. Moreover, to the west of Zhongshan, the adjacent county is Changshan County, which is the hometown of Zhao Hu and Xiahou Ruo, in order to take care of the emotions of these two generals under his command, Yuan Qi must also take Zhongshan, and then plan Changshan under his rule.

As soon as the battle plan was announced by Yuan Qi, the two generals stood up at the same time and asked to lead troops to capture the two counties. These two generals are Zhao Hu and Zhou Tai. Zhao Hu naturally knew that at least half of the purpose of Yuan Qi's attack on Zhongshan was to prepare for the capture of Changshan, and then to reassure himself and his fellow countryman Xiahou Ruo, so Zhao Hu asked to lead troops to attack Zhongshan. And Zhou Tai didn't make it clear where he was going to attack, but he didn't forget the promise that Yuan Qi gave him yesterday, so he stood up as soon as possible and asked for the position of a vanguard general to make up for the losses that he couldn't make up for yesterday.

Yuan Qi happily agreed to the invitation of these two people, and immediately issued an order to let Zhao Hu be the main general, lead five partial generals, and lead 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops to attack Zhongshan and conquer it. Stay in Zhongshan Town to guard the city. Because there were not many Yuan troops stationed in Zhongshan, Yuan Qi did not let Zhao Hu lead the Tiangui army there, but left the Tiangui army in the river, ready to devote themselves to the decisive battle with Yuan Ding. On the other side, Zhou Tai led 10,000 Jiangdong troops and 10,000 Yan troops, together with Jiang Qin, to attack the Bohai Sea. Both of them are from the Shui Kou. Letting them attack Bohai County, which is close to the sea, is like letting them fight on the home field, and they have a great advantage compared to the Yuan army, which is not water-impermeable. Similarly, Yuan Qi also asked them to temporarily lead their troops to be stationed there after conquering the Bohai Sea, forming a triangular formation with Hejian and Zhongshan. You can come and go at any time.

After Zhao Hu and Zhou Tai led the army to leave, Yuan Qi was not idle, and asked Zuo Ci to lead 6,000 men and horses to escort more than 9,800 Yuan army prisoners, along with a large number of captured but temporarily unused materials to return to Yanjing, and hand them over to Xun Liu, who remained in Yanjing. Yuan Qi believes that Xun Luo will definitely make the most appropriate treatment. At the same time, Zuo Ci also had a task when he returned to Yanjing this time, that is, to bring a follow-up force of 20,000 people over. At the beginning of the expedition. Because of the limited grain and grass, Yuan Qi could only bring out 100,000 troops to fight in Jizhou, but last night, Yuan Qi captured Yuan Ding's granary, although only one-tenth of the grain and grass was harvested in the end, but it was enough for Yuan Qi to increase his troops again.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, the Jiangdong Army came with a total of 30,000 people, so if it is calculated, there will still be a shortage of grain and grass, but this problem is also easy to solve.

Five days later, Zhao Hu and Zhou Tai came with good news at the same time. Zhao Hu is a native of Changshan, Changshan and Zhongshan are next to each other, so Zhao Hu is very familiar with the terrain of Zhongshan, the arrangement of troops and the arrangement of the march route is very reasonable, and the Yuan army stationed in Zhongshan has long heard of Zhao Hu's prestige, knowing that he is one of the best generals under the command of Yuan Qi. After that, Zhao Hu took advantage of the offensive of the local people and successfully persuaded the generals responsible for guarding the east gate, and then led the army commander to drive straight in, and occupied Zhongshan almost bloodlessly. Now, while Zhao Hu is carrying out internal rectification and reorganizing the surrendered soldiers, he also commands the army to march to the county seat under Zhongshan's rule, and in one day, most of Zhongshan has fallen into Zhao Hu's hands.

The strategies and tactics adopted by Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were diametrically opposed to Zhao Hu. Taking advantage of the Jiangdong Army's characteristics of being good at water warfare, Jiang Qin led 10,000 Jiangdong troops along the coastline to attack cities and villages, starting from the county seat near the sea, conquering three county towns one after another, cutting off Yuan's army's retreat by water; Zhou Tai led another 10,000 Yan troops to wander around Bohai County, successively conquering four county towns adjacent to Bohai City, cutting off Yuan's army's land retreat, and turning Bohai into an isolated city. After that, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin joined forces and launched a fierce attack on Bohai City, and in the case of cutting off all retreats, the defenders in Bohai City did not resist strongly, and were quickly defeated by the two.

After taking Bohai and Zhongshan, the grain and grass were replenished again, and after counting, the grain and grass stored in these two counties, in addition to supplying the military supplies of the Jiangdong Army, was enough for Yuan Qi to mobilize 40,000 reinforcements. In this regard, Yuan Qi regretted it, he didn't expect that the counties of Jizhou were so rich, and a few days ago, he asked Zuo Ci to only mobilize 20,000 reinforcements, which was obviously a bit of a miscalculation. No wonder Yuan Ding can raise millions of soldiers, it really deserves to be the first state in the Central Plains.

After repentance, Yuan Qi immediately wrote an edict, sending fast horses to rush back to Yanjing, and asked Gan Jing, the governor of the navy, to lead 20,000 elite Qilin troops to drive new warships along the coast to the south and come to help. The Qilin Army, which has been training for a long time, is finally useful this time, presumably the 60,000 sailors have been screaming since they were willing to be quiet, so let them come to fight this time!
