Chapter 683: Occupy Wancheng
Yuan Shu and the others' faces turned pale in an instant, especially Zhang Xun, who couldn't even hold the spear in his hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was an ambush, they could guess it, but they never thought that Zhou Fan would directly send 20,000 cavalry to wait for them here.
In this open plain near Wancheng, the cavalry is the absolute king.
Even if there were only 5,000 cavalry, as long as they charged, they would be able to scatter the 60,000 troops under their command, not to mention that Huang Zhong had 20,000 cavalry, not to mention that they were scattered and defeated, even if they were all slaughtered, it was not impossible.
After all, the mobility of the cavalry is too strong, even if they want to run, they can't run, how can a two-legged one outrun a four-legged one.
And the most important point is that now the 20,000 cavalry have charged.
"Protect the King!" Zhang Xun hurriedly shouted, but what no one saw was that Zhang Xun's forehead was already in cold sweat, and his hands holding the spear were already trembling.
Since the last defeat to Huang Zhong and the escape from the ascension in Huang Zhong's hands, Zhang Xun has an inexplicable fear of Huang Zhong.
Today's Zhang Xun didn't dare to confront Huang Zhong, a bad star, if it weren't for Yuan Shu by his side, I'm afraid he would have found a way to run away by himself.
With Zhang Xun's order, the 60,000 army was killed towards Huang Zhong's 20,000 cavalry.
Now in this situation, there is no other choice, even if you don't want to kill, it's too late, unless the other party is willing to let them go.
And Zhang Xun and others protected Yuan Shu in the middle, planning to find an opportunity to break through and flee to Shangcai.
"Kill!" A fine light flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes, and a killing word burst out of his mouth. Rushed into the enemy line first.
Zhou Fan's 20,000 cavalry collided with Yuan Shu's 60,000 army in an instant.
In the early morning of the next day, Wancheng Nanyang Palace.
"Gongda. How's it going? Zhou Fan looked left and right at Yuan Shu's Nanyang Palace, and asked. From time to time, he nodded his head.
Even Zhou Fan had to admit that Yuan Shu was definitely a person who would enjoy it, when he saw Nanyang Wangfu outside, Zhou Fan was a little surprised, but after seeing the interior decoration, Zhou Fan understood what luxury was.
I don't know how much money Yuan Shu spent to have this Nanyang Palace, although it is definitely not as good as Luoyang Nangong on the whole. But in the local area, it is much more luxurious than the South Palace where the little emperor is located.
Among so many princes in the world, it is estimated that only Yuan Shu will be so rich and wasteful.
Instead of using so much money to build the palace, it is better to take it all out as military salaries, so that the strength of Yuan Shu's army will be improved a lot, even if it loses, then at least it can be better lost.
"Everything has been arranged, so the captives have been arranged." Xun You said.
"What about the people of Wancheng?" Zhou Fan then asked.
Xun You clenched his fists and said: "There is nothing to resist, and even for the lord to repel Yuan Shu." Settled in Wancheng, and faintly happy. ”
Zhou Fan smiled, which was also expected by him.
Long before the attack on Wancheng. Zhou Fan issued an order that no soldier was allowed to harm the people of Wancheng.
After all, Zhou Fan is not here to plunder, but to occupy an area, in the future, Wancheng will be his own territory, and the people of Wancheng will also be the people under his rule, so naturally they can't do anything that disgusts them.
And Zhou Fan's army has always been strict in military discipline, and after entering Wancheng, he did not commit any crime against the people of Wancheng, and won the support of many people.
And the most critical point. Or is it because Yuan Shu's reputation in Wancheng is too ugly.
There are exorbitant taxes everywhere, which makes the people of Wancheng miserable. They wished that Yuan Shu could get out of the house sooner.
And now Yuan Shu is gone, in exchange for a well-known Zhou Fan. How can they be upset.
"Yes!" Zhou Fan nodded and advised: "Remember to deal with the problem of Wancheng well, this Wancheng is very important to us." ”
For Zhou Fan, the most critical thing in the entire Jingzhou is Wancheng, and even Xiangyang, where Liu Biao is located, is not as important as Wancheng.
For Zhou Fan, Xiangyang is just a slightly luxurious city, but for Zhou Fan, Wancheng is a top priority military location, so it is naturally sloppy.
"No!" Xun Yu responded.
"Koji Yoshi, how are the casualties of our army?" Zhou Fan looked at Koji Yi.
Lu Yi clasped his fists and said: "Except for General Huang, who has not yet returned, our army has lost a total of about 7,000 casualties, and about 15,000 soldiers and horses have been injured to varying degrees. ”
"Don't forget to issue pensions for seriously injured and dead soldiers, and let the other injured soldiers be treated in time by the military medical craftsmen, and by the way, the medical craftsmen in Wancheng will also be found. Don't miss the moment. Zhou Fan frowned slightly and commanded.
Zhou Fan can still accept this casualty, after all, they are the side besieging the city, and it is already very good to have more than 7,000 killed.
If someone else forcibly attacked the city, if the number of dead was less than the defenders, then there would be ghosts.
And Zhou Fan also knew very well that among the more than 7,000 soldiers who died in battle, at least 5,000 were among the 30,000 under his command.
Zhou Fan forcibly attacked the city at the north gate in order to attract Yuan Shu's firepower, which would have caused such a large number of casualties.
And in terms of Koji Yi and Fazheng, there are no so many casualties, after all, it is a surprise attack, and the effect is naturally better than a strong attack.
"No!" Koji Yi clasped his fists and responded: "Lord, Yuan Shu's whole family has been taken down by his humble position, and now he is outside, what do you think will be done?" ”
"Oh, Yuan Shu's family." Zhou Fan paused slightly and said, "Come out with me to have a look." ”
Being able to capture Yuan Shu's family this time was a bit of a surprise to Zhou Fan.
As for what to do with them, it's really a hassle, and it's not easy to deal with.
Zhou Fan still understands the truth that his wife and children are not harmed, Zhou Fan is a hussar general, if it is spread out to embarrass the family, it will not be laughed at.
But a traitor like Yuan Shu should wipe out the three clans, so his family is naturally a dead end.
Zhou Fan naturally couldn't take them in, otherwise it would only be him who would be in trouble.
And Zhou Fan does not have Cao Cao's habit of "I raise your wife, and I raise your children".
What to do with them, let's go and see before we make a decision.
With that, Zhou Fan walked out with Ko Yi. (To be continued.) )
