Chapter 391: Surrender

At the same time that the gate of Hanzhong City was knocked open, Qi Tian took 20,000 flying dragon heavy horses after a night of galloping, and came to the official road behind Hanzhong City a hundred miles away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Enter the woods on the side of the road, dismount, loosen the horse's belly belt, let the war horse rest, leave five hundred people to feed the war horse, go out one hundred people to explore the movement in the direction of Chengdu, and the rest of the people take turns to rest and recuperate!" Qi Tian calmly issued a series of orders. The equipment on the Flying Dragon Heavy Rider is very heavy, the Rahu Dragon Horn Spear plus the special three-layer Muddy Iron Mingguang Armor, as well as the equipment such as the Burning Knife Wine and the Xizi Hand Crossbow add up, the weight reaches an astonishing one hundred and fifty catties! Therefore, the war horses they are equipped with are all good horses with super endurance, but even so, after running non-stop all night, these war horses must also be rested, otherwise there will be the possibility of exhaustion, in order to prevent such non-combat attrition, Qi Tian cherishes the war horses of his subordinates very much, and at the first time, he issued an order to let the war horses rest and feed.

The Wyvern Heavy Riders neatly turned over and dismounted, then removed the horse armor from the war horse, loosened the rope on the horse's belly, took off the horse halder, and handed the war horse to the five hundred comrades who stayed to guard the war horse.

In this way, every two hours, a group of dragon heavy horsemen would rise from the ground, replace the comrades who had not been rested to take care of the horses, go out to explore the sentry, and the cycle went back until noon on the second day, when all the people were full of spirits, and the horses were fully rested. Yiying's equipment was also re-draped on the body of the war horse, and when the whole army was in full swing, the elite who went out to explore the outpost came back with the news: the elite soldiers of Bai Yu had appeared twenty miles away, and they were speeding up to rush here, and it was expected that they would arrive in two quarters of an hour, with a number of about seven thousand.

After Qi Tian got the news, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his voice and said to his subordinates: "Today, let the Bai Yu elite soldiers disappear!" Then he turned his head to look at his deputy general Ugong Xing, and ordered: "Take half of your brothers to the opposite woods to hide, and when the Bai Yu elite soldiers arrive, you will kill them with a certain side and cut them into three pieces." Let them take care of one and lose the other, and they can't take care of each other!"

Unomiya replied in a low voice, "Obey!" Then he took 10,000 flying dragon elites, stepped across the official road, and hid in the woods opposite. At the end of the Unomiya sex queue. Dozens of flying dragons turned over and dismounted, and used branches to sweep the traces of the horses' hooves trampling, so as not to be discovered by the white elite soldiers who were ambushed and escaped.

Just when Qi Tian led the Flying Dragon Heavy Cavalry to prepare to ambush the Bai Yu elite soldiers. Yuan Qi had already led his troops into Hanzhong City, and after a morning of sweeping, he wiped out all the remnants of the Yizhou army in Hanzhong City. The 80,000 Yizhou troops stationed in the city, more than half of them died in this tragic battle, and the remaining half, more than 20,000 people were seriously wounded and disabled, and it was impossible to serve as combat soldiers, only more than 20,000 Yizhou troops survived, but all of them were captured and became prisoners, and even Huang Quan, the main general of Hanzhong, was not spared, and Ling Bao had followed in the footsteps of Lei Tong and died in the city, the only difference was that Ling Bao did not die in the hands of Zhang Chong, but was stabbed to death by Zuo Ci with a shot.

With the occupation of Hanzhong City by the enemy, Yuan Qi according to the suggestions put forward by Zhuge Liang and others, let the army repair in the city, and sent Huang Yong's department and the Qilin army led by Gan Jing, who did not consume much energy in the war, divided into two routes, extending outward along the east and west directions of Hanzhong City, and successively conquering six county towns near Hanzhong, forming a local defense circle, like a nail, nailed to the key point of Mount Tai, even if Mount Tai has led the army on the way to come, Yuan Qi is also confident that with this defense circle, he can strike a hard blow to Mount Tai's arrogance and swallow his main force in one bite!

Of course, after resting for two hours, the Yan army in Hanzhong City was sent out by Yuan Qi in batches to cut down trees on the nearby mountains, used as rolling logs, digging stones, and using them as thunder stones to enrich the defense of Hanzhong City, after all, the materials that Taishan had painstakingly accumulated had been almost burned by Gan Jing's fire, defending the city, of course, the more these materials, the better, Yuan Qi would never let the Yizhou army board Hanzhong City half a step, he wanted to recapture Taishan's fantasy of Hanzhong, completely strangled in the cradle!

In addition, on the battlefield in the Jingxiang area, Guan Wei led his troops after a day and a night of hard fighting, and his subordinates were killed by the prepared Jiangdong army, and Guan Wei himself was killed by Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng's four generals were entangled and couldn't get out, these four people didn't fight hard with Guan Wei, just wandered around the periphery, and from time to time gave Guan Wei two ruthless blows, most of the time it was just guerrilla, under the entanglement of these four people, Guan Wei had the courage of ten thousand people, but he was never able to get out of the encirclement, and watched his troops be killed by the Jiangdong Army commanded by Lu Meng.

When the Jiangdong Army took Guan Wei out of the city, the Jingzhou army was almost killed, and the bad news that made Guan Wei feel desperate came: Xiangyang was under the onslaught of Zhou Yu, Ma Liang, who did not know how to command the battle, was unable to resist, and after a night of perseverance, the city was finally breached, and Ma Liang himself became a prisoner of the Jiangdong Army, as for Guan Ping and Liaohua, who were sent back to support Xiangyang, they were intercepted and killed by 3,000 white-clothed Jiangdong troops on the way, and this Jiangdong army knew that there were few people, so it did not fight hard with the Jingzhou army, but dug traps and tripping pits on the road of the Jingzhou army in advance, and also splashed a large amount of fire oil sent by Yuan Qi's people nearbyAs a result, a fire was accompanied by countless traps, and with three thousand people, they blocked Guan Ping and Liao Hua's troops for two hours, and they did not withdraw until Zhou Yu took Xiangyang City.

Guan Ping and Liao Hua saw from a distance that the banner of the Jiangdong Army had been replaced on the head of Xiangyang City, so they had no choice but to come back to the place where Guan Wei and the Jiangdong Army were fighting, and told Guan Wei the bad news of the fall of Xiangyang. Guan Wei saw that his morale had fallen to a low point. Even if the battle continues, it is difficult to achieve victory, and it will only increase casualties, so there is the idea of temporarily retreating and regrouping in order to make a comeback, driven by such an idea, Guan Wei tried his best, and the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique was amazing, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Zhou Tai and other four generals no longer fought with Guan Wei. withdrew from the station circle one after another, and Lü Meng promptly let the Jiangdong Army give way to an imperceptible passage, and deliberately let Guan Wei leave, and Guan Wei really followed Lü Meng's plan to lead his troops out of the battlefield along the passage deliberately let out by the Jiangdong Army.

After letting Guan Wei go, Lü Meng immediately reorganized his army and divided into two routes with Sun Ce's troops, Sun Ce rushed to Xiangyang City with half of his men and horses to assist Zhou Yu in defending, while Lü Meng joined together three thousand white-clothed sailors. rushed to the riverside to set up defenses, and at the same time used ferries to pick up more Jiangdong troops to cross the river, preparing to completely take Jingxiang into the hands of his own people.

After Guan Wei walked to Maicheng, he was counted. found that there were only a pitiful more than 10,000 soldiers and horses available to his subordinates, and most of them were wounded, and only two sons Guan Ping and Guan Xing were left. and the two pioneer officers Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, and the rest of the lieutenants were either separated from the troops, or died on the battlefield and died in battle. Or like Ma Liang, he was captured by the Jiangdong Army. For the first time in his life, Guan Wei felt a trace of despair, he was not afraid of dying on the battlefield, and his husband Ma Ge was wrapped in corpse and returned, that was the honor of being a general, he just felt that he had lost Jingzhou, he was so sorry for the trust of his eldest brother Taishan, even if he died, he could not let Guan Wei be relieved, but Guan Wei has now understood that all this was calculated by Jiangdong Army, from the very beginning, he fell into their trap, and it was his arrogant character that allowed him to obediently fall into the trap! At this moment, after thinking about it again and again, Guan Wei thought clearly about the cause and effect of the matter, and finally lowered his arrogant head, and now he understood why Ma Liang often advised him to restrain his arrogant character, because this arrogance is enough to kill!

However, Guan Wei finally decided to stay, using Maicheng as a stronghold, and gradually launched a counterattack against the Jiangdong Army, because he didn't want his eldest brother Taishan to lose Jingxiang and lose this base for great achievements. At the same time, Guan Wei decided to stay, but he sent his two sons away, and asked the eldest son Guan Ping to move the rescue troops to Ba County, which was guarded by Yuanfeng, and rushed to Maicheng to help; Guan Wei did this to leave a way for his two sons to live, after all, they are still young, and they have such a great future, no matter how heroic Guan Wei is, but he is also a father after all, since ancient times, tigers do not eat children, Guan Wei is naturally no exception.

Less than half a day after the two sons left, Guan Wei had not even sent out all the orders to send reinforcements, and the Jiangdong army surrounded it again, unlike the attack on Xiangyang, this time the Jiangdong army did not adopt the tactics of strong attack, but surrounded the small Maicheng, cut off the source of water in the city, and implemented the tactics of clearing the field with strong walls for the Jingzhou army in the Maicheng, and the defenders in the city were besieged for several days, because they could not get fresh water and food supplements, many people fainted on the ground, and many of them fell down, and they never got up again.

Seeing his subordinates fall one by one, Guan Wei's heart ached like a knife, and in the end, Guan Wei made a very difficult decision: to go out of the city and surrender. He ordered the troops to disarm and surrender to the Jiangdong Army.

Sun Ce did not break his promise this time, and properly settled the surrendered Jingzhou army, not only gave them food and water, but also found a military doctor to treat their pain, so that Guan Wei, who was watching from the sidelines, had infinite emotion in his heart, at this time, Sun Ce came to Guan Wei's side and said: "The regent asked a certain person to convey a sentence, the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and he should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, report to the king Zhongsheji, and go down to An Li to shade his wife and children, and apologize for his crimes, that is done by a coward!"

Guan Wei's heart was suddenly shocked, originally he thought that after settling down his old subordinates, he would apologize for his crimes, after all, he lost Jing Xiang, he had no face to go back to see his eldest brother Taishan, but Sun Ce's words were like a twilight drum and morning bell, stirring Guan Wei's heart: kings, sheji, people, wives and children...

Sun Ce continued: "In fact, the prince can survive, and these subordinates of the prince can survive, all of which have been instructed by the regent in advance, although the regent has made it clear that it is not difficult for the prince to stay at will, and he still thinks that the prince should go to Yanjing." ”

When Guan Wei heard this, he silently turned his gaze to the north, where, he had been there once, and the people and soldiers there left a very deep impression on him, and he couldn't imagine that he would have to go to that place again in his lifetime, or if the eldest husband has a favor, he will repay it, and this thank you still has to be said to Yuan Qi in person.

After making up his mind, Guan Wei asked Sun Ce for a fast boat, took Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and dozens of personal soldiers, stepped on the warship, went north against the current, and sailed in the direction of Yanjing......
