Chapter 455: Reasons for Surrender

The arrows in the sky flew to the Bohai Navy camp with flames, and looked at the Bohai Navy camp from the opposite side of the riverbank, only to see the arrows covering the sky, the flames went directly to the sky, and the whole camp was reflected in a piece of light like day, and the scene was magnificent!

Standing on the bank of Yishui, Liu Wei clearly heard the shouts of ghosts and wolves from the Bohai Navy camp on the opposite side of the riverbank, and many officers and men of the Bohai Navy, with flames burning on their bodies, rushed to Yishui and jumped into the dark riverbed.

On the opposite side of the river, like dumplings, the Bohai Navy with flames constantly jumping into the river. With the sound of "poof, tom", snow-white waves rose on the dark riverbed.

"Wenyuan, cross the river!" Looking at the opposite side of the riverbank, he faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing on the other side of the river, and Liu Wei, who had been watching for a long time, waved his hand and gave the order to cross the river to Zhang Liao, who was standing behind him.

Since he was stationed on the bank of the Yishui River, for several days in a row, he followed Liu Wei to the shore every day to watch the Bohai Navy on the other side of the riverbank, but Zhang Liao, who had never received the order to attack, had already held back a lot of strength in his heart.

Hearing Liu Wei's order to cross the river, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly rejoiced, and he hurriedly turned his head and shouted behind him: "Dragoon Guard, cross the river with General Ben!" ”

"Roar!" Five hundred dragoons, who were fully armed and waiting for the order to attack every night for the past few days, had already held back their strength like Zhang Liao, only waiting for the battlefield to vent, and got the order to cross the river.

The long and narrow boat broke the waves in the Yishui River and sailed quickly to the opposite bank.

Zhang Liao led 500 dragoon guards to row a small boat towards the opposite side of the riverbank, but the sound of killing on the other side of the river bank was already shocking. The 2,000 tiger guards led by Zhao Yun rushed into the Bohai Navy barracks under the cover of night and fire under the cover of the chaos of the Bohai Navy.

In the sea of fire, many Bohai navy were burning with flames, howling aimlessly in the barracks, and some of the Bohai navy that had not been scorched by the flames had not yet had time to find weapons, Zhao Yun and two thousand tiger guards had already rushed into the barracks and slashed their swords at them.

In the barracks, a one-sided massacre was staged. The Bohai Navy, which was rushing to the wolves, did not form an effective defense at all, and was dispersed by the Tiger Benwei.

Stationed on the bank of the Yishui River, after waiting for a long time, he finally saw the Luoyang Army coming, but the Bohai Navy, which had not yet had time to make contributions, was burned by a fire. 20,000 soldiers, just like 20,000 pigs, scurrying around, bearing the slaughter of the tiger guards.

Two thousand tiger guards followed Zhao Yun, and they were killing happily, when there was another shout of killing on the riverbank.

Zhao Yun held a long sword in his hand, slashed over a Bohai naval officer who ran past him, and turned his head to look in the direction where the shout came from.

I saw that in the firelight, the Luoyang army, who was wearing big red armor and the feathers on his head trembled slightly in the evening breeze, followed behind a general with a halberd in his hand, jumped from the boat, and rushed towards the Bohai Navy who was running towards the Yishui River.

A large area of the Bohai Navy was intercepted and slaughtered by the Tiger Benwei and the Dragoon Guards who had just rushed ashore, and the north bank of Yishui was screaming miserably for a while, and the blood flowed like a river.

Running in the barracks, the Tiger Ben Guards and Dragoon Guards were full of the corpses of the Bohai Navy that had been killed, and the blood stains on the ground gathered in one place, condensed into small channels, and slowly flowed towards the river bank.

The feet were slimy, their feet were on the ground, and when the soldiers raised their feet, they could clearly hear the sound of "popping" under their feet.

"Don't let Gongsun Fan run away!" Zhang Liao, who had just rushed up from the river bank, carried a halberd, slashed forward, and shouted at the dragoon guards behind him.

The five hundred dragoons shouted in unison, followed Zhang Liao, and rushed towards the depths of the barracks.

At this time, in the Bohai Navy barracks, Gongsun Fan, who was still full of confidence during the day, learned that the military camp was suddenly attacked, and did not know when the Luoyang army crossed Yishui, in a panic, he had no intention of investigating, surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, rode on a war horse, and ran towards Yixian in embarrassment, trying to enter the county seat, and then reorganize the troops and horses to resist the Luoyang army.

As soon as he ran out, a team of men and horses suddenly rushed out of the darkness in front of him, blocking the path of Gongsun Fan and the others.

Seeing a team of men and horses appear in front of him, Gongsun Fan was taken aback, stunned for a moment, and was about to turn his horse and choose another way to escape, when a personal soldier suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward and shouted at him: "General, it seems that General Wang's men and horses are ahead!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the pro-soldiers, Gongsun Fan grabbed the reins and raised his eyes to look ahead.

Sure enough, the men and horses who ran over in the darkness were wearing the clothes and armor of the Jizhou army, and they were in the headquarters of the royal gate.

The number of soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Men is not large, only more than 1,000 people, and they are stationed on the flank of the Bohai Navy on weekdays, with a distance of more than 100 steps from the main formation, as the main camp of the horn arch guard. Zhao Yun led the Tiger Benwei to attack, and the main direction of attack was the main camp of the Bohai Navy, and it was precisely because of this that the Wangmen Department escaped an extremely difficult situation, even if it withdrew from the camp and reorganized outside the camp.

Seeing that what appeared in front of him was the Wangmen's department, Gongsun Fan's heart hanging in his throat fell into his stomach. He let out a long breath, turned his horse's head, and looked at the army that was coming towards him.

"General Wang came just in time!" When the royal gate approached, Gongsun Fan held the reins in one hand, straightened up and shouted to the royal gate: "General, hurry up and gather troops and horses, and follow this general back to the riverbank......"

"Gongsun Chan is perverse, Gongsun Fan is abusive, and he has repeatedly attempted to murder the King of Luoyang!" Before Gongsun Fan's words were finished, Wang Men was already holding the war horse, frowning slightly, lifting the spear in one hand, pointing at Gongsun Fan with the tip of the spear and scolding: "As a Han general, how can this general be willing to listen to the dispatch of traitors such as Er?" The army listened to the order and captured Gongsun Fan alive, and I will vote for the king of Luoyang today! ”

"Capture Gongsun Fan alive!" Before Wang Men's words fell, an officer beside him drew his long sword, clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, shouted, and rode his horse to charge Gongsun Fan first.

As soon as the officers rushed out, from behind the king's gate, another group of cavalry rushed out. There were more than 100 cavalry in this group, and they were holding a cavalry short spear in one hand and a round shield in the other, screaming strangely, and pounced on Gongsun Fan and others.

Wangmen's subordinates suddenly defected, which surprised Gongsun Fan. He was about to open his mouth to scold the Wangmen for his moral failure, but before he could scold, the cavalry under the Wangmen had already rushed in front of him.

There were also more than a dozen of the personal soldiers who escorted Gongsun Fan, but under the impact of a group of cavalry with more than 100 people, the combat power was almost completely negligible.

More than 100 cavalrymen rushed towards Gongsun Fan, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the soldiers beside Gongsun Fan were knocked over and dismounted, and one by one they were pierced through the body by the short spears in the hands of their former Tongze.

The soldiers beside him fell one by one, Gongsun Fan held a long sword, and turned around in place with a war horse, the muscles on his face twitched violently, and shouted at the Wang Gate who was standing on the horse not far away: "Wang Men, the former general treated you well, you are treacherous, how do you know that the king of Luoyang will treat you well?" ”

"Take it!" Holding the reins in one hand, hearing Gongsun Fan's shout, Wang Men snorted coldly and shouted to the more than 100 cavalry surrounding Gongsun Fan.

The sun rose at the end of the horizon, and on the riverbed, countless small boats carried the soldiers of the Luoyang Army wearing big red armor and sailed towards the opposite side of the riverbank.

Standing on the bow of a small boat, one foot on the pedal of the bow, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, leaned forward slightly, and rested his free elbow on his bent thigh, staring at the embers of black smoke still emitting on the opposite shore.

On the shore, groups of soldiers of the Luoyang Army were carrying the corpses of the Bohai Navy that had been beheaded the night before to a pile. On the riverbed, there are also many corpses of the Bohai Navy with burning marks on their bodies.

Many Luoyang soldiers were using lassoes with grappling hooks to scoop up the corpses floating on the river one by one.

After a night of fighting, the Bohai Navy that fell into the river was far more than what the officers and soldiers of the Luoyang Army picked up. Most of the corpses had drifted downstream with the flow of the river. A small number of bodies sank to the bottom of the water and could not be recovered for a while.

The boat gradually approached the shore, and as soon as his feet landed on the riverbank, Liu Wei saw several dragoon guards escorting a general of the Jizhou army wearing scaly armor, whose helmet had fallen somewhere, and whose hair was scattered, towards him.

Behind the dragoons was a general of the Jizhou Army, who was also wearing scaly armor and was about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

However, the generals of the Jizhou Army who followed behind, but their clothes and armor were very neat, and it was obvious that they had not fought with the dragoon guards or tiger guards the night before.

"Your Highness!" A dragoon guard officer stepped forward, bowed down to Liu Wei with his fists and said, "The two generals Zhao and Zhang led us to break through the Bohai Navy last night, killing more than 5,000 enemy soldiers, and the rest all fled. Now the city gate of Yixian County has also been broken by our army, and the general of the Jizhou army, the general of the Wangmen, captured Gongsun Fan, and dedicated His Royal Highness! ”

"Oh?" Hearing that Gongsun Fan was captured by the Jizhou army, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the Jizhou general who was following several dragoon guards, and asked the general, "Is this the general of the royal gate?" ”

"It's the last general!" Hearing Liu Bian's question, Wang Men hurriedly took two steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Bian, saying, "Gongsun Chan has gone against the grain and has had bad intentions towards His Highness many times. The last general has long had the intention of punishing him, but the last general has no choice but to have few soldiers, although he intends to do so, he cannot make the trip. Now that His Royal Highness has arrived, Gongsun Fan still intends to use Yishui Heavenly Danger to stop the Heavenly Army, how will the general tolerate him? Therefore, this thief is hereby captured and presented to His Highness! ”

Nodding towards Wang Men, Liu Wei groaned slightly without the slightest expression on his face for a moment, and then asked Wang Men: "According to General Wang's wishes, what should Gongsun Fan do?" ”

Liu Wei asked him about the method of dealing with Gongsun Fan, Wang Men was stunned for a moment, bowed with his fists, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Liu Bian: "Gongsun Fan is abusive, and it should be beheaded." It's just that this remark shouldn't come from the mouth of the last general, after all, the last general worked with him in the past, and I beg His Highness to judge! ”

When Wang Men answered the question, his eyes flickered, and from his flickering gaze, Liu Wei could already see that this person was quite scheming. I knew in my heart that this Wangmen captured Gongsun Fan, not because he had long been unaccustomed to what Gongsun Chan did, as he said, but because of the trend of the times, by capturing Gongsun Fan, he would find a way out.

Turning his face to look at Gongsun Fan, who was standing with his head bowed and his arm twisted by the two dragoon guards, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and was silent for a while before waving his hand at the two dragoon guards who were twisting Gongsun Fan, and said to them: "Let Gongsun Fan go!" ”

Liu Wei's sudden words not only made Gongsun Fan, who was twisted by the two dragoon guards, stunned, but also subconsciously looked up at him. Even Wang Men, who was standing in front of Liu Bian, and a group of generals of the Luoyang Army who had come to Liu Bian's back one after another on the river bank were all stunned, and they didn't know why Liu Bian wanted to release Gongsun Fan.
