Chapter 659: The whole army is annihilated
Wang Zheng made a sudden attack on Lin Yuan, but due to his lack of strength, he did not have a surprise effect, but was easily subdued by Lin Yuan with one move.
Because Lin Yuan was worried that the three thousand troops would escape, when marching, let those soldiers march in front and the cavalry in the rear, so that if any foot soldiers dared to escape, they would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the cavalry, and the cavalry could easily pursue.
Wang Zheng shouted, and most of the foot soldiers responded, holding weapons, and turned around to kill the Han army.
Only a few people did not dare to rush to kill, and wanted to surrender to the Han army, they were basically locals in this area, and their families also lived nearby, and the surrender of the Han army would also surrender, and they could also be reunited with their families after the war.
In ancient times, the soldiers did not carry out ideological education such as patriotism, as long as it was not a foreign attack or a civil war, it was almost the same for anyone to surrender.
"Kill!"
"Rush me!"
The Wei army, which was unwilling to surrender, still accounted for the majority, most of them were mobilized from Wancheng, and their families were in the Wancheng area, even the Central Plains, and if they surrendered, they would be separated from their families.
When these soldiers heard Wang Zheng's order, they turned around and rushed towards the Han army, and after running a few steps, they saw the scene where Wang Zheng was under Lin Yuan's system.
Xuan Wei saw the Han cavalry in front of him, quickly picked up the bow and arrow on the horse, bent the bow and arrows in one go, without the slightest hesitation, the Han cavalry released the bowstring and shot the arrow.
The dense arrows shot at the Wei soldiers who rushed up, and in the plains, there was no dodge, and the soldiers had no shields to defend, and they were attacked by the Han army at will like a live target.
"Don't shoot, I surrender, I surrender!"
"Help, don't shoot!"
Just two rounds of shooting, there were hundreds of people in the Wei army who were hit by arrows, crying and shouting one by one, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, where did they still have the intention of resisting.
"Stop!" Lin Yuan waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to stop shooting, in the troubled world, human life is precious, since these people are willing to surrender, Lin Yuan has no intention of killing them all.
"Throw all your weapons at me, squat over there, and shoot whoever dares to run."
Having learned a lesson, Lin Yuan would not take these soldiers back to Chaoyang City after making a second mistake and lowering the weapons of these soldiers.
After returning to Chaoyang City, Lin Yuan asked Wang Zheng to be escorted to interrogate Zhou Tai's whereabouts: "To be honest, in which direction did Zhou Tai run away, you tell the truth, Ben will still be able to spare your life." ”
Wang Zheng's pipa bone was injured by Lin Yuan, his face was pale from pain, and in the face of Lin Yuan's inquiry, he still didn't reveal a bit: "Phew, you don't want to ask the general's whereabouts from my mouth." ”
Lin Yuan snorted coldly and said, "You don't say that Ben will also know that your grain and grass will only be used for three days at most, and the only route that you can retreat from is Chaoyang, Huyang, and Caiyang." Now Zhoutai is not in Chaoyang, it must be in Caiyang or Huyang. ”
Listening to Lin Yuan's words, Wang Zheng chuckled in his heart, and immediately scolded: "If you have the ability, you can go and find it slowly." ”
Lin Yuan sneered: "Do you think that only my troops and horses are chasing Zhou Tai? I'm not afraid to tell you, Your Majesty is clever, and he has long expected the retreat route of Zhoutai, and there are also soldiers and horses waiting for him in Huyang and Caiyang. The reason why I asked you is just because I don't want to waste time, do you think Zhou Tai can run away? ”
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Since you are loyal to Zhou Tai, don't worry if you don't want to say it, wait for a few days to capture Zhou Tai, and send the two of you on the road together." ”
On the other side, Huyang City was in charge of Huang Xu, and after arriving in Huyang, Huang Xu also took Huyang City effortlessly.
At this moment, he also learned from the scout that a group of soldiers and horses was rushing towards Huyang, and the number was only about 3,000.
Knowing that there were 3,000 soldiers and horses rushing towards Huyang, Huang Xu's thoughts were the same as Lin Yuan's, knowing that this was Zhoutai's plan to abandon the car to protect the commander, and wanted to sacrifice these 3,000 soldiers and horses to buy time for the main army to retreat.
Huang Xu immediately ordered: "Go and inform Your Majesty quickly, just say that there is no main force of the Wei army on Huyang's side, and quickly raise troops and horses to annihilate the Wei army that rushed over." ”
Huang Xu did not choose to wait for work in the city, but rushed over to deal with the Wei army, because it would take two or three days for the Wei army to come over, and when the Wei army came to deal with them, maybe he would not be able to participate in the battle to annihilate the main force of the Wei army, so Huang Xu wanted to solve the Wei army on the way to Huyang as soon as possible and participate in other battles as soon as possible.
Huang Xu led 3,000 cavalry and slaughtered the Wei army that rushed to Huyang.
The chief general of this group of Wei troops is called Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin is different from Wang Zheng, Zhou Tai has a life-saving grace for Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng is just a reckless man, and has no great wisdom, so what Zhou Tai asks him to do, he will do without any complaints.
And Zhou Lin is different, although Zhou Lin is a general who was single-handedly raised by Zhou Tai, but he has been in the military all the year round, and he is more sleek, and he has a little more wisdom than Wang Zheng.
Sometimes, it's not good to be too smart, Wang is a reckless man, loyal to Zhou Tai, and willing to die for him. And Zhou Lin is different, when Zhou Tai offered to sacrifice Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin was reluctant in his heart, and he felt cold about Zhou Tai's approach.
The grace of knowing is not as good as the grace of saving lives, so Zhou Lin did not plan to follow Zhou Tai's orders to surrender pretendedly, and then take advantage of the Han army's laxity to deal with the Han army, but planned to make a mistake, if he met the Han army, he would really surrender to the Han army.
So when Huang Xu arrived with his troops, Zhou Lin directly surrendered to Huang Xu and betrayed Zhou Tai cleanly. not only told Zhou Tai's plan, but also told Huang Xu the route of Zhou Tai's real retreat.
After learning of Zhou Tai's whereabouts, Huang Xu immediately sent someone to inform Liu Chan. At the same time, he ordered these soldiers to take these weapons of surrender, and sent 500 cavalry back to Huyang City to be strictly guarded, and took Zhou Lin, who surrendered, to lead the remaining cavalry to kill in the direction of Caiyang and pursue Zhoutai.
Liu Chan had also led his troops to set off at this moment, rushing towards the east of Nanyang, and received news from Lin Yuan and Huang Xu along the way, and learned the exact direction of Zhoutai's withdrawal, Liu Chan led the soldiers and horses, converged with Lin Yuan, and killed in the direction of Caiyang.
At the same time, Huang Xu was notified and asked to wait for him on the road to act together.
On Cai Yang's side, Deng Ai is in charge.
Similarly, Deng Ai had already occupied Caiyang City, waiting for the arrival of the Wei army in Caiyang.
"General Qiyu, our army scouts have detected that there is a group of Wei troops rushing towards Caiyang, and the number is about fifteen thousand."
"Oh? Fifteen thousand? Deng Ainai is a top general, much wiser than Lin Yuan and Huang Xu, after listening to the words of the scout, he muttered: "The Wei army has 20,000 people, and now there are only more than 10,000 people, a few thousand. ”
A general arched his hand and asked, "General, the Wei army is rushing here, should we send troops to deal with them?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Deng Ai waved his hand and said: "We only have 3,000 cavalry, although we are not afraid of Zhoutai, with bows and arrows, it is not difficult to defeat his foot soldiers, but after all, he has more than 10,000 people, and if he can't beat me, he can also scatter and escape."
Chaoyang, Huyang, although Zhou Tai also sent troops and horses, but it is definitely not the opponent of Ziting and Zhengyang, when they solve the Wei army there, they will naturally rush over to join me.
Let Zhou Tai come to Caiyang, let's wait here for work, when Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses are tired, I am sending troops to deal with him, and His Majesty will definitely be able to lead the army to catch up, then the front and back attack, Zhou Tai will not be able to run away. ”
"No!" The generals will take the command.
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Tai led his troops day and night, and finally arrived in Caiyang County.
The army rested on a plain, and the soldiers thumped their sore knees as they ate hard rations.
The first general said to Zhou Tai: "General, thirty miles to the east is Cai Yang." ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Tai nodded and ordered: "Let the soldiers finish the dry food quickly, and strive to go to Caiyang in one go." It's good to enter the city, even if the Shu army leads the troops to chase over, it can't bring back the artillery, we can still go around for a while, and this place is close to Jiangxia, you can send troops to Jiangxia for help, waiting for reinforcements. ”
All the generals also breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed a relaxed look.
The first general groaned: "The Shu army did not catch up, it seems that the general's strategy has worked, and the Shu army has been delayed in Chaoyang, Huyang." The general asked Wang Zheng and Zhou Lin to pretend to surrender to the Shu army and take the opportunity to deal with them, but they didn't know how much loss their Shu army had caused. ”
"If only I could hit them hard."
"yes, I don't know if they'll be able to run for their lives."
"I hope that Jiren has his own natural appearance."
The generals talked a lot, and suddenly a soldier ran over with a frightened face and said to Zhou Tai: "General, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, there is a Shu army catching up." ”
"What? How did it come so quickly? ”
"It seems that Wang Zheng didn't delay much."
"How many of them came?"
The scout replied, "General, they have more than 10,000 men, including cavalry and foot soldiers, but the cavalry is to take care of the speed of the foot soldiers, and the speed is not fast, and there are still twenty miles from here. ”
Zhou Tai hurriedly ordered: "Let the soldiers stop eating and hurry to Caiyang." ”
With Zhou Tai's order, more than 10,000 Wei troops set off on the road again, running towards Caiyang.
At this moment, Liu Chan was leading the soldiers and horses towards Cai Yang, and on the way, he successively joined Lin Yuan, Huang Xu's soldiers and horses, plus the foot soldiers he brought, his soldiers and horses had 6,000 cavalry and 8,000 foot soldiers.
Liu Chan knew Deng Ai's ability, and knew that Deng Ai would wait for the Wei army in Caiyang, and wait for him to act together, so Liu Chan led the infantry to march together, and a lot of men and horses wiped out the Wei army.
Since the Wei army did not have war horses, and even the main general of Zhou Tai could only walk on two legs, although Zhou Tai sent scouts, Liu Chan was far away from the Wei army at first, and was not noticed by the Wei army, but it was close to Caiyang County, and Liu Chan ordered to speed up the pace and catch up with the Wei army.
The more than 10,000 Wei troops had no formation at all, and they were afraid of being caught up by the Han army in the rear, so they wished that their parents would have two more legs, and they spread their hands and ran desperately towards Caiyang City.
Liu Chan led the army behind, and when he saw Wei Jun working so hard, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Since Wei Jun likes to run, let him run well, let's go slower and let the soldiers take a breath." ”
Lin Yuan laughed when he heard this: "Haha, I'm afraid that this state Tai doesn't know that Cai Yang also has our soldiers and horses there." ”
The Wei army ran all the way to Caiyang, and finally arrived at the city of Caiyang before the Han army could catch up.
Zhou Tai stepped forward, and shouted at the city head out of breath: "I am Zhou Tai, quickly open the city and let us in, the Shu army is behind, it's too late." ”
At the head of the city, Deng Ai showed his head, holding a Han flag, waving it vigorously, and shouted at the state Tai under the city: "Hahaha, Zhou Tai Piff, look at who I am." ”
"Shu Army?" Zhou Tai did not recognize Deng Ai, but he did know the flag in his hand.
"It's not good, how did Cai Yang get taken away by the Shu army."
"What can I do?"
"It's over, it's over, it's a dead end."
"Scatter and run!" Zhou Tai saw that Cai Yang was taken by the Han army, so he hurriedly shouted and ran in one direction. You can't beat the Han army, and you can't run away, but if you spread it out and run, you might be able to escape.
"Kill!" At this time, on both sides of Caiyang City, two cavalry teams suddenly came out, and now the Wei army is gathering under the city, and the cavalry and cavalry are in a figure-eight shape, and the Wei army under the city is half encircled.
At the same time, there were also bursts of shouts and killings from the rear, but it was Liu Chan who led the main army to arrive.
The cavalry was in front, encircling the retreat of the Wei army, while the infantry army dispersed and formed another circle outside to prevent the Wei army from escaping.
At the head of the city, Deng Ai shouted at Zhou Tai: "Zhou Tai, you are already at the end of your rope, and you still don't surrender?" ”
Zhou Tai was silent, with a sword in hand, and rushed to the gap between the two cavalrymen to escape.
Although the cavalry surrounded the Wei army, it could not be sealed, and there were gaps between the cavalry and the cavalry.
"Hmph, stubborn." Seeing this, Deng Ai snorted coldly, took a longbow from the soldier's hand, bent the bow and shot at the Zhoutai who fled under the city.
Zhou Tai just ran for his life, where could he take care of his back, he was shot in the back by Deng Ai with an arrow, but an arrow did not kill Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai staggered and wanted to continue to escape, the soldiers on the left and right stepped forward, surrounded Zhou Tai, and after fighting for a while, he was captured by the soldiers.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
The Wei army was surrounded by the Han legions, and the cavalry were armed with bows and arrows, but they did not shoot, but only shouted loudly, wanting to use their military might to deter the Wei army and make it surrender.
Most people didn't dare to do it, after all, they ran for two days, they were exhausted and had no strength, and they were surrounded by groups, and they could only kill themselves.
But there are also a very small number of soldiers who have a strong desire to survive and want to go back to reunite with their families, and those who are not afraid of death and want to flee for their lives.
The fate of these people naturally could not escape the shooting of the Han army.
"Don't let go of the arrows, I'm willing to surrender."
"Brothers, don't resist, it's better to surrender, no one wants to kill us."
Dozens of people were killed by the Han army, and there were no more soldiers in the Wei army who dared to do anything, and they put down their weapons one by one to surrender.
