Chapter 345: Abandoning the City
After returning to the camp, Yuan Qi ordered the soldiers of the whole army to wear linen and filial piety for the deceased Zhu Huan, to pay tribute to Zhu Huan in such a way, and at the same time to stimulate the morale of the soldiers of the whole army in such a way.

After Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong settled Zhu Hao and other 10,000 soldiers, they came to Yuan Qi's side with a trace of worry. Their worries are not unreasonable, the original battle plan was to use Zhu Huan's men and horses as a surprise soldier to surprise Ugong Terulie and Taishan by surprise, but now, this army that has lost its commander has obviously lost the miraculous effect of the sudden rise of the army, this battle between Hanzhong and China, in the end, must be solved by force, the situation has been deflected to the side in favor of Ugong Teruje, or rather, Ugong Terulie's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf finally succeeded.
Looking at the worry on Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's faces, Yuan Qi pretended to smile easily and comforted them: "Okay, don't cry and mourn, it's a big deal that we will fight with Taishan with real swords and guns as Yugong Zhaolie wishes, can our soldiers of Yan Kingdom still lose to the Yizhou army?"
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also knew that this was Yuan Qi's words of comfort, after all, the battle of the fortified city could not win the final victory with combat strength alone, and the side defending the city always had a great advantage. But things have come to this point, and there is no other way but to fight hard. Zhuge Liang strengthened his belief and said to Yuan Qi: "Big brother, since our army has no way to retreat, without further ado, we should immediately send troops to Hanzhong City, if we wait for Unomiya Zhaolie to give Hanzhong to Taishan, we will be even more passive." ”
Yuan Qi nodded and said to Ma Yue, "Ma Yue." Send the order down, immediately straighten out the people, and later we will go to the city of Hanzhong to meet the two heroes of Yugong Zhaolie and Taishan!"
Under the city of Hanzhong, there are already corpses and bones at this moment. There are countless corpses lying horizontally and vertically, those who are beneficial to the state army, and there are also those who are in the Ugong army. Ugong Terulie stood on top of the city, looking at the scene of mourning under the city, he was very angry in his heart, and secretly scolded Yuan Qi for not playing cards according to the routine, and he didn't show up until now, which led to his dilemma. Also lost the army, the battle until now, Taishan to Hanzhong is determined to win, two days and one night without a life siege, until half an hour ago, only suspended the offensive, sent a sergeant to clean up the battlefield. In this competition, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, and the losses on both sides are not small, the soldiers under the command of Unomiya Terulie. More than 20,000 people have been lost, and the number of soldiers killed in the Taishan army is probably nearly twice that of the Ugong army. Unomiya Terulie has already made up his mind to hold on for another day, regardless of whether Yuan Qi appears or not. He would lead his army out of Hanzhong and give Hanzhong to Mount Tai.
Just when Unomiya Terumu was secretly calculating, the city wall suddenly shook, which was the vibration caused by the iron hooves trampling the earth when the war horse was galloping. Unomiya Terulie suddenly raised his head and looked in the northwest direction, where it was the direction of Yuan Qi's army. Not only Unomiya Terulie, but Guo Jia and others also felt the vibration of the city wall, and they all set their eyes on the northwest.
In the northwest, the sound of horses' hooves sounded faintly, and the shaking of the earth became more and more intense, which can cause a slight vibration of the Hanzhong city wall, presumably the cavalry that is galloping will not be a minority, when the cavalry dominates for a while, and can mobilize a large number of cavalry in the direction of Liangzhou, it is none other than Yuanqi.
At the same time that Ugong Zhaolie looked up, Taishan under the city also felt something, Huo Ran turned his head to look at the northwest, and muttered in his mouth: "Are you still here after all?" Okay, let you also see today, my Taishan, is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the down-and-out Taishan of the past! Now among the heroes of the world, there is also a place for my Taishan!"
The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that between heaven and earth, there was no other sound, and only this burst of rushing that attracted everyone's attention remained! Finally, a bright yellow flag appeared in everyone's sight in the wind, and it was faintly visible on it, embroidered with the word "Yan" with a big bucket. This is the royal flag of Yan Wang Yuanqi, the battle flag defended by millions of Yan troops, and the battle flag that tens of millions of Yan people worship for it!
The white horse, the golden armor, and the mixed yuan halberd are the iconic outfits of Yuan Qi, when such an image appears on the horizon, it immediately attracts everyone's attention, and the mighty little overlord Yuan Qi immediately became the focus of the battlefield!
At this moment, Unomiya Terulie and Tarzan are in completely different moods. Ugong Terulie finally breathed a sigh of relief, now, he can retreat with peace of mind, no matter who he gives Hanzhong City, which is a city that belongs to chicken ribs for him, it will cause Yuan Qi and Taishan to snatch it frantically, this is enough, the strategy formulated by himself and Guo Jia together, at the last moment, finally has its due effect. And Taishan does not have the good mood of Ugong Zhaolie, he not only wants to seize Hanzhong, the gateway to the north of Yizhou, but also wants to defeat Ugong Zhaolie, and also wants to thwart Yuanqi, so that everyone in the world knows that he is also a hero, but these three goals are more difficult than one another, and if he wants to complete these three goals at the same time, Taishan himself is a little disbelieving, so he seems a little depressed. It must be known that this is the best opportunity for Mount Tai to win prestige, possess interests and then compete for the world, if he can realize these three wishes at one time, then he is not far from the day when he will be in charge of the world, for that day, Mount Tai has been waiting and forbearance for nearly twenty years!
In the iron hooves, tens of thousands of cavalry galloped under the guidance of the Yanzi banner, rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky, tens of thousands of war horses ran to two hundred steps away from the battlefield, suddenly uniformly stopped from the gallop, restrained by the fine horsemen on horseback, the hooves of the war horses struggled to rise, with the knights on horseback stood up, the horseshoe inlaid with the horseshoe stayed in the air for a while, and trampled heavily on the ground, and after the war horse stood still, the Yan cavalry had already lined up the crane wing array in a motion, tens of thousands of troops even people and horses seemed to have become stone sculptures, silent, only suffocating killing intent, emanating from the crane wing array formed by tens of thousands of Yan cavalry. Yan Jun rode in such a domineering way to announce his arrival.
The aura of slaughter erupted from the tens of thousands of Yan troops, instantly permeating every corner of the battlefield.
Under the banner of the Yan Army, Yuan Qi was guarded by the stars like the moon, he glanced at the battlefield, slowly raised his right hand, Yuan Qi pointed to the corpses on the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Heaven returns, burn the corpse with a burning knife!" 10,000 elites of the Tiangui Army who followed Yuan Qi immediately shouted in unison: "Heaven returns, there is victory and no defeat!" Then, ignoring the 200,000 people of the Yizhou army, they directly instigated their war horses to gallop into the battlefield, took off the two vials of burning knives specially issued by Yuan Qi to wash their wounds from the saddle, and then unscrewed the mouth of the bottles, and spilled the liquor on the battlefield in the gallop.
Back and forth, it only took a dozen breaths for the elites of the Tiangui Army to complete, fully demonstrating their superb riding skills and the excellence of their war horses, which made the Yizhou army and the Yugong army above and below the city sigh to themselves. The last elite of the Tiangui Army who withdrew from the battlefield was about to run out of the battlefield, and when he was about to run out of the battlefield, he kindled a fire and threw it on the ground.
The spark can ignite the prairie fire, and under the effect of burning knife wine, the fire fold just fell to the ground, igniting a large area nearby, and the fire instantly rose, and soon spread to the middle of the battlefield, and then engulfed the entire battlefield. Burning corpses with fire can effectively kill germs, which is the most common means of preventing plague in ancient times, which is simple and fast.
Looking at the flames rising under the city, Ugong Zhaolie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly instructed Ugong Ren: "Zixiao, quickly rectify the people, be sure to lead the army out of the city before the fire is extinguished, so that Hanzhong will become an empty city!" Ugong Terulie believes that neither Yuan Qi nor Taishan wants each other to occupy Hanzhong, and there will inevitably be a life-and-death struggle between the two armies, which is also the original intention of Ugong Teruje.
The fire lasted for half an hour, and after half an hour, in addition to the original residents, Hanzhong City has become a veritable empty city, the Ugong army stationed in the city and the Hanzhong army that surrendered to Ugong Terulie have all followed Ugong Terulie to withdraw from Hanzhong, and even the grain, grass and ordnance in the treasury have been carried away by the Ugong soldiers.
