Chapter 206: Front-and-Back Attack (4)
Gao Yuan looked at the hillside, and there were less than a hundred people left. Gao Yuan urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and said in a loud voice: "Prince Yan Guo, you have been surrounded by our army, surrender now, you can be spared death, if not, I will give an order, ten thousand arrows will be fired, all of you will not be spared, you will definitely die, where to go, Tai Xiao can self-determination." β
Prince Dan looked left and right, sighed, and said: "Everyone, now that the general trend has gone, there may be a way to survive if you surrender, and if you continue to resist, you will definitely die, so let's all surrender." β
In fact, among the nations, it is common to choose to surrender when the defeat is decided, and generally speaking, each will not hurt the captives with status, and will be more polite. Because after the battle, nine times out of ten, the two sides will negotiate peace, so these captives are important bargaining chips when negotiating. Therefore, as soon as Gao Yuan said it, Tai Xiao Dan knew that he had no intention of killing himself, and if he knew that he was interested, he would surrender immediately, at least his life could be saved. But if you have to stand up to the end, you will really die.
If there is a glimmer of life, of course no one wants to die, and most people know these rules of the rivers and lakes, so Fan Yuzhi said: "We all obey the prince's orders." β
Prince Dan nodded, unsheathed his sword, threw it on the ground, and said, "Wu Anjun, we are all willing to surrender." Then he got out of the chariot and stepped down from the earthen phi, while the others also threw away their weapons and walked down with Prince Dan.
Gao Yuan also descended from the red dragon and motioned for the soldiers to put down their raised spears and bows. At the same time, he also caught up with the first few times.
I saw that Tai Xiao Dan's age was about thirty-five years old, with a white face and a slight short beard under his chin, although he surrendered, he still had a bit of aristocratic temperament, and behind Tai Xiao Dan, he was a veteran about fifty years old, quite tall, with a somewhat gray beard, but his face was quite angry. But behind them were three young men, the oldest of whom was no more than thirty years old, and the youngest one was estimated to be no more than twenty years old.
After the two met, Tai Xiao Dan bowed his hand to the plateau and said, "Ji Dan has seen Wu Anjun, and I didn't expect General Li Mu to have such a good son-in-law, which is no regret." β
Gao Yuan said lightly: "Actually, I, Wu Anjun, am just self-appointed, and the prince doesn't have to be so polite." However, the Zhao State was destroyed, and I retreated to Daijun, waiting for the opportunity, but I had no enmity with the Yan State, why did the Yan State send troops to conquer the Daijun. β
Prince Dan also smiled bitterly, and had to put the responsibility on Qin Guo's body, and said: "It's all the envoy Yao Jia sent by Qin State, who used clever words to sow discord, and as a result, he confused his father, so Yan Guo sent troops to attack Zhao, and now Ji Dan knows that he has fallen into Qin's plan, and he really regrets it." β
Gao Yuan said: "Now that Han and Zhao are destroyed, the Qin State is dominant, and other countries are in danger, and the Dai Yan is dependent on each other, and they should unite and work together to resist Qin, if the Dai County dies, the Yan State can survive alone, so after I stayed in the Dai County, I immediately sent an envoy to the Yan State, just hoping to make friends with the Yan State, even if I can't form an alliance, we shouldn't attack each other." I've heard that I'm so knowledgeable that I can't see that? Why not dissuade King Yan? β
In the face of Gao Yuan's questioning, Tai Xiaodan was naturally speechless, so he had to smile bitterly, but Fan Yuqi was a little annoyed, and said: "In the past two hundred years, haven't you beaten me, and I beat you like this?" What is there to say, now that we have been defeated by you, we have nothing to say if we want to kill or kill ourselves, but teach us a lesson. β
Gao Yuan looked at Fan Yuqi and said, "This general has a great name?" β
Fan Yu said: "In the next Fan Yu period." β
Gao Yuan said: "I heard that General Fan entered Yan alone, and the whole family was killed by Qin Wangzheng, so it is even more appropriate to share the same hatred and hatred with us and deal with Qin together." β
Hearing Gao Yuan mention his family, Fan Yuzhi couldn't help but be touched by his heart, and immediately bowed his head and was silent. At this time, Tai Xiaodan also heard some doorways, although Gao Yuan accused himself very strictly, but between his words, he still revealed the meaning of hoping to make friends and form an alliance with Yan Guo.
Tai Xiao Dan is also a very knowledgeable person, and immediately weighed the benefits and losses in his heart, because of the battle of TongguΓ², Prince Dan also realized the strong combat effectiveness of the Wu'an army and the outstanding military talent of the plateau, and although after the fall of the Zhao State, the territory of the Qin State has bordered the Yan State, but if the Qin army does not replace the county to directly attack the Yan State, then the flanks will be exposed to the front of the Dai County, so the Dai County is actually a barrier of the Yan State. If Yan really formed an alliance with the plateau and fought against Qin together, it would be a policy to protect Yan State.
So Tai Xiao Dan gave a deep salute to Gao Yuan, and said: "This qiΔ is all the fault of my Yan country, and I also ask Wu Anjun to be magnanimous, don't care about the fault of my Yan country, Ji Dan is willing to persuade his father to reconcile with Wu Anjun, form an alliance, and fight against the Qin army." β
Gao Yuan nodded, Prince Dan is really an understanding person, he said it for a long time, in fact, this is the purpose, after all, Gao Yuan does not want to be an enemy of Yan Guo for a long time, but since this battle was provoked by Yan Guo, of course, he can't rely on Tai Xiao Dan's words to ignore it, at least let Yan Guo compensate for some money, food and materials, of course, the battle is not over now, and it is not the time to negotiate with Yan Guo, so Gao Yuan said: "Tai Xiao can say this, no matter how good, but how fast the war is now, temporarily entrust Tai Xiao for a few days." In a few days, I will talk to the prince in detail. β
Prince Dan also knew that it was impossible for Gao Yuan to let himself go just by his own words, but Gao Yuan's attitude was already very clear, so Prince Dan gave a salute to Gao Yuan and said, "Just according to Wu Anjun's wishes." β
After Prince Dan surrendered, the war was all over, and that night, Gao Yuan lived in the camp of the Yan army, and ordered people to put Tai Xiao Dan and others under house arrest, but to be well entertained, and then ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and count the losses. At the same time, he ordered Du Yi, the commander of the cavalry army, to lead the army of his headquarters, plus 4,000 infantry, to immediately rush to capture Juyongsai.
Juyongsai is the later Juyongguan, since ancient times it is the gateway to the northwest of Beijing, as long as it occupies Juyongsai, it can not only cut off the retreat of the Yan army on the southern line, completely destroy the southern route army of Yan, and strike down the living force of Yan, but also can cause direct danger to Yandu Jijing, only in this way, can the plateau take the initiative in the negotiations with Yan and obtain the greatest benefits.
Only then can the plateau begin to seriously clean up the results of this battle. It is impossible to fully count the number of Yan soldiers killed, but it can only be calculated between 50,000 and 60,000 people, while the captured Yan soldiers reached more than 43,000 people, and a large amount of booty was captured. Because after defeating the rear army of the Yan army, all the heavy grain and grass of the Yan army were obtained by the Wu'an army, and the grain alone was as much as more than 100,000 stones, even if the captured Yan soldiers were added, it could almost be supported for about a month and a half, and there were also a large number of other materials, and the harvest was of course extremely rich.
As for the Wu'an Army itself, there were only 623 soldiers killed in the battle, and another 587 people were injured, of which more than 100 soldiers were injured in the battle, but with Yun Yao here, there was no need to worry about their injuries. It's just that Yun Yao's energy is limited, and he can only treat five or six soldiers a day, and some of them are seriously injured, so he can only treat two or three people, so he can only treat the most seriously injured soldiers first.
However, although the number of captured Yan soldiers was about the same as that of the Wu'an army, because Prince Dan had decided to form an alliance with the plateau, he also tried his best to appease the Yan soldiers and make them obey the orders of the Wu'an army and not disobey them.
At this moment, Gao Yuan received a report from Du Yi that the Wu'an army had captured Juyongsai.
Being able to capture Juyongsai smoothly, the special combat team once again made a great contribution. Although there are not many Yan troops guarding Juyongsai, only six or seven thousand people, the terrain of Juyongsai is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Wu'an army does not have siege equipment, so it is not easy to capture Juyongsai.
When Du Yi led the army to the front of Juyongsai, he did not rush to attack Juyongsai, but Jiang Huanwu, Ling Feng and others led more than 100 soldiers of the special combat team to climb up the mountain wall, go around to the back of Juyongsai, and blend into Juyongsai. Only a group of hunters were able to climb the mountains on both sides of the Yongsai, but when they crossed it, four soldiers still fell off the cliff.
That night, Jiang Huanwu and others set fire everywhere in Juyongsai, stirring up chaos in the Saizhong, and Du Yi also took the opportunity to lead the army to attack Juyongsai, and after a night of fierce fighting, finally captured Juyongsai, but the Wu'an army also killed more than 300 people, of which the special combat team suffered as many as 22 casualties, and it also became the largest casualty battle of the Wu'an army in this battle.
However, siege warfare is not a field battle after all, and it is reasonable that the losses are larger. However, after capturing Juyongsai, the Wu'an army obtained a great harvest, because Juyongsai was the general rear of the Yan army this time, and the grain and grass materials of the Yan army's battle to conquer the dynasty were all stored in Juyongsai. The grain alone amounted to more than 200,000 stones.
Knowing that Juyongsai was occupied, it was not until this time that it was basically certain that the battle against Yan State this time had been decided, and it was only a matter of time before the Wu'an army won.
Gao Yuan also immediately ordered Huang Chong to lead 20,000 troops to cross the water to support Sima Shang, strive to annihilate the Yan army on the south bank of the water, and lead the other troops himself, take all the prisoners, and enter Juyongsai. He also sent someone back to Daijun to deliver a letter, sent a message to Jiefu, and told Li Yinghong that for the time being, there was no need to send grain and grass materials to the army, because the grain and grass materials captured now were enough for the Wu'an Army to support five or six men.
