Sun Ce cut the rope with his own hands, and the suspension bridge in Xiangyang fell with a bang.

Zhang Dingbian shot down the city tower, and was invincible everywhere he went. Soon he came to the bottom of the city gate, and slashed the latch with his sword, opening the huge and heavy city gate. 30,000 Sun troops flocked into the city, unstoppable, from this moment on, Xiangyang City changed the lord!

Although Liu Biao was unwilling, he also knew that the general trend had gone, so he hurriedly took his wife Cai, his eldest son Liu Qi, his second son Liu Cong, and his staff members Kuai Yue, Han Song, Song Zhong and others carried the seal of Jingzhou Mu, escaped from Xiangyang from the north gate, and fled towards Jiangxia under the escort of more than 1,000 personal soldiers.

Other Jingzhou staff, such as Yi Yuan, Wang Can, Fu Xun and others, were on business, but the incident happened suddenly, and they didn't have time to follow Liu Biao out of the city, and they were all captured by Sun Cejun and placed in prison.

This battle came and went like a summer shower, from the Jingzhou army going out to ambush Sun Ce's army, to being attacked by Sun Ce's army, it was only two hours. Sun Cejun effortlessly took the fortified city of Xiangyang without blood.

"Pass my orders, whoever dares to infringe on the people's property and take the opportunity to loot will be killed!" Sun Ce drew his sword and personally killed a bearded captain who was plundering by the columns, and shouted an order.

The captain's head was soon hung by the city gate, and the 30,000 Sun soldiers were shocked, and no one dared to think about it.

On the one hand, Sun Ce set an example to calm the people, and on the other hand, he recruited soldiers to consolidate the defense and guard against the counterattack of Liu Biao's main army, or the Eastern Han army took advantage of his unstable foothold to attack. and searched Liu Biao's remnants in the city, but all suspicious people were put in prison. He also sent people to Changsha to summon Zhang Zhao to come to Xiangyang to serve as a taishou and govern local internal affairs.

Liu Biao ran all the way to the east with the remnants, and fled for more than 200 miles into the territory of Suixian, and only then did he feel relieved to see that there were no pursuers. The herald ordered the whole army to dismount and rest, and make a fire to cook.

The north wind was howling and bitterly cold. The smoke of the cooking in the wilderness was blown ethereal, and it was doubly desolate.

The team of more than 1,000 people lost their souls, and there were as many wolves as there were wolves, remembering that he had fallen from holding 100,000 heroes to such a point, Liu Biao couldn't help but feel sad from it, looked up to the sky and sighed, drew his sword in his hand, and wanted to kill himself with a horizontal sword.

"Woo hoo lament, a certain life's hard work was ruined, 100,000 troops were wiped out, what face survived in the world, making the world laugh?"

"The lord must not do it!" The staff, Mrs. Cai, Liu Qi and others hurriedly grabbed and dissuaded in unison.

Kuai Yue strongly admonished: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the main army led by Wen Zhongye and Huang Hansheng is still in Wancheng, Cai Deqi and Zhang Yun still have more than 20,000 people in Jiangxia, plus more than 20,000 people in Huang Zu, our army's strength advantage is still there, and the comeback is unknown, the lord must not give up on himself!" ”

Under the persuasion of the strategists, Liu Biaofang stopped his sad feelings, and after discussing with Kuai Yue, Han Song and others, he immediately sent an envoy to Wancheng to inform Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, and Kuai Liang, who was accompanied by the army's staff, to wave his army to the east and retreat towards Jiangxia.

After hurriedly filling their stomachs, Liu Biao and his subordinate Wenwu did not dare to delay their efforts, and each got on his horse and continued to flee towards Jiangxia. And a dozen envoys with Liu Biao's orders hurried away in the direction of Wancheng.

As night fell, the fierce battle in the wilderness of Wancheng continued.

After a whole day of fighting, the wilderness was already full of corpses, and the blood-stained wasteland was already there. Everywhere there is the groaning of the dying, the undead. groans, and the wails of wounded horses, broken flags everywhere, broken limbs everywhere.

Yang Xuangan's camp was burned to the ground, and there was no clothes and bedding for the night, and even grain and grass baggage; This made the morale of Yang Xuangan's team drop to the freezing point, and some people kept deserting in the fighting, taking advantage of the cover of night to quietly flee. As the fierce battle continued, Yang Xuangan's soldiers became fewer and fewer.

When the Jingzhou army learned the news of the loss of Xiangyang, it was like becoming a homeless wanderer, and the army's morale collapsed instantly, and the morale of the Xiliang army was even lower than that of the Xiliang army. After more than 10,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 10,000 people surrendered or fled to the barren slopes and wilderness to find their way back to their hometowns.

"Withdraw troops to Jiangxia!"

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Wen Ping ordered Huang Zhong to open the way in front, ordered Kuai Liang, who joined the army, to sit in the center, and personally took up his gun and led the remaining 37,000 people to retreat to Jiangxia, which was 500 miles away in the southeast.

The coalition army was gradually falling behind, and after the Jingzhou soldiers withdrew from the battlefield, the Luoyang army was even more difficult to parry. Fortunately, Chen Gong, who was guarding Lu Bu's camp, ordered people to dismantle part of the Zhaizha tent in advance, and created a vacuum between Yang Xuangan's camp and Lu Bu's camp that caught fire, so as to avoid the situation of being burned by Xu Rong's camp and burning all the heavy grain and grass.

"Retreat!"

The morale of the army has completely collapsed, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit and will have no will to fight. Seeing that the general trend had gone, after Yang Xuangan discussed with Lu Bu, he could only order a retreat in the direction of Tiger Prison Pass with hatred.

The Western Han army killed more than 20,000 people in the fierce battle, and nearly 10,000 people fled, and the remaining troops were only more than 60,000 people, and the advantage of troops was gone.

The Han army, with high morale, became more and more courageous, and with a casualty rate of less than 10,000 people, it beheaded more than 40,000 people of the three-way coalition army and captured more than 10,000 people. With less than 100,000 troops, he brutally defeated the 170,000 troops of the three-way coalition army from Chang'an, Luoyang, and Xiangyang.

Seeing that the coalition forces were defeated, Yue Fei ordered to pursue the victory.

personally led Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, Zhao Yun, Wu Song and others to lead troops to the northwest to chase the retreating Western Han army; ordered Yang Zaixing and Dong Xi to lead their troops to chase the Jingzhou army that was defeated to the southeast, and ordered Xu Rong and Gao Changgong to join forces and lead 7,000 light cavalry to kill Benwuguan in the starry night, open and close the door by fraud, and take the dangerous barrier of Chang'an City in one fell swoop.

The defeat was like a mountain, the Luoyang army retreated in a hurry, and was chased by Yue Fei for more than 100 miles, until it arrived in Liang County, and killed and captured nearly 10,000 people. Fortunately, Gao Shun led the elite trapping camp and broke off with Lu Bu and Yang Xuangan in person, so that he was able to curb the Han army's fierce pursuit and avoid the endgame of the annihilation of the whole army.

At the critical moment, Yang Su, Zhu Jun, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Li Wenzhong led 20,000 fresh troops from Luoyang to the rescue, and the two sides fought in a melee in Liang County. In the dark night, I don't know how many Luoyang troops came to help, Yue Fei thought that he had almost chased and killed, and he could no longer be greedy for merit, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the whole army retreated happily in the direction of Wancheng.

Yang Su erected a banner under the city of Liang County, gathered the remnants of the defeated soldiers, and counted the number of people. The total number of people on the two expeditions was 110,000, but by the time they returned, they were less than 60,000, which can be regarded as a fiasco.

Zhu Jun, who has a loyal personality, didn't say anything, but Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di's father and son were aggressive and sneering, "The general, don't forget the promise you made to the Son of Heaven in the court a few days ago!" It has been said a long time ago that Wancheng has strong troops, Yue Fei is good at using troops, and it is difficult to go down to Wancheng, so he should seize the opportunity to attack Chenliu and attack Yingchuan and Xuchang. But the general is stubborn, and now someone should be responsible for this fiasco, right? ”

Yang Su's face turned pale: "General Zhu doesn't need to say more, since Su has made a promise to the Son of Heaven, he will naturally be responsible for this defeat!" When he returned to the court, he wrote a letter to request that the title of the general be removed! ”

"Haha...... Tomorrow morning, I know that the general is a responsible person, admire, admire! ”

The plan succeeded, and finally forced Yang Su to give up the position of general, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart almost blossomed, and he praised Yang Su loudly.

Yang Xuangan was annoyed next to him, and raised the bronze lance and scolded loudly: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, isn't it just a losing battle!" What kind of thing is your Zhu family, you dare to ask your father to cut the title of general? If it weren't for our Yang family, your Zhu clan would have been wiped out by Dong Zhuo a long time ago! ”

"Whew! was beaten to the ground, and 170,000 horses returned with a miserable defeat, and you dare to speak out? Seeing Yang Xuangan's arrogance, Li Wenzhong, who was behind Zhu Yuanzhang, stood up with two knives in his hand and confronted Yang Xuangan and scolded.

Yang Xuan was furious, and the bronze lance in his hand was horizontal: "Come on, come on, Lao Tzu can't beat Yue Fei, can't he beat your Zhu family?" Let me try how many pounds and taels you have, and see if I can poke you to death with a lance? ”

"How can a defeated general be brave? See if I can cut off your head? Li Wenzhong went toe-for-tat, and with one point in both swords, he had to share the victory or defeat with Yang Xuangan.

Lu Bu, who was standing sullenly in the distance, was about to stand up and speak, but was quietly stopped by Chen Gong: "Wen Hou, don't mix this trip to troubled water, you can get the maximum benefit by sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!" Just let the Zhu and Yang families fight for power, no matter who wins, you must rely on your assistance, and don't make your position lightly! ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu stopped his steps and stood in the distance and watched the play without saying a word.

Yang Su sighed, reached out and grabbed Yang Xuangan's collar, dragged him to a remote corner, and whispered: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, advance and retreat!" This defeat has ruined the reputation of your father and son, and you must no longer be brave enough to retreat. After returning to Luoyang, send someone to invite your uncle to enter the court, as long as our father and son work together with your uncle, we can restore the prestige of our Yang family! ”

Yang Xuan struck the ground with a horse lance with hatred, and swore an oath: "The Zhu family is really a villain who fell into the well, and the child swears that one day, he will cut off the heads of Zhu Jun and Zhu Ming's brothers to vent the hatred in his heart!" ”

After cleaning up the remnants of the defeated soldiers, Yang Su led his troops back to Luoyang overnight. Ordered Lü Bu to lead his troops to garrison Liang County to prevent the Eastern Han army from making a comeback, entering Henan to attack the counties and disturb the localities.

Just when Yue Fei's army was chasing the Western Han army, Yang Zaixing and Dong Xian also led their troops to follow the Jingzhou army reluctantly, and chased them all the way to Huyang County, where they killed four or five thousand Jingzhou soldiers along the way.

After Wen Ping personally broke off, Huang Zhong led his troops to open the way, desperately breaking through the ambush of Huo Jun and Zhang Xun, and before he could breathe, suddenly the northeast was full of killings, and a new force covered up in the night.

"Where are the thieves? The Han general often meets spring here! ”R1152
