Chapter 214: The Yan Army Defeated (II)

Because the Wu'an army has to maintain a neat queue, the speed of advancement is not fast, and it will take a while to complete the distance of more than 400 meters, if the Yan army can make a decision during this period of time, even if it is not the most correct decision, it can resist for a while, after all, the Yan army has a large number of people, and it is not easy to defeat the Yan army.

But at this time, the main generals of the Yan army, Cavalry and Liaoyang Jun, were already stunned, their minds were blank, and they didn't know anything, but they just watched dumbfounded as Wu Anjun gradually approached him. And the main general did not move, and the other Yan soldiers and Yan generals were even more at a loss, and all of them did not react at all.

Even when Gao Yuan saw it in the formation, he couldn't help but be a little strange, is it difficult for the Yan army to reach this level? He still dared to fight with himself, and he didn't know what kind of mentality the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom had. However, at this time, of course, Gao Yuan would not pity the Yan army, and immediately ordered the cavalry to attack and outflank the left and right sides of the Yan army. Because the speed of the cavalry is fast, the distance of more than 400 meters is a matter of tens of seconds, so in order to ensure that the infantry cavalry strikes the Yan army at the same time, the cavalry can only attack slowly.

As the cavalry sorted, the infantry had advanced to a distance of less than a hundred paces from the Yan army, at a distance at which the longbowmen could reach the striking distance with their projectiles. Therefore, the four rows of longbowmen who followed the mandarin duck formation stopped two rows, bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the Yan army.

A dense burst of arrows flew into the sky with the sound of the bowstring, and after reaching the extreme height, they passed to the ground and shot towards the Yan army. And in the Yan army array, a series of screams suddenly sounded. Many Yan soldiers were shot by feather arrows, or they fell to the ground. And the arrows of the Wu'an army came one after another, striking at the Yan army.

Butsuji's rain of arrows also woke up the Yan army, and without waiting for the two main generals to order, they turned around and fled. But the Yan soldiers who fled backwards were not hit by bows and arrows, and some of the Yan soldiers didn't even show what was going on, so they didn't move, and some people didn't say, "What are you doing?" Do what? It's all back. ā€

And the soldiers in the front row were afraid to dodge the arrows, and they could not care to answer, while shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, you'll die." "Then I didn't care about the soldiers in the back row, some people pushed and pulled points with their hands, some people squeezed and bumped hard with their bodies, the soldiers crowded each other and pushed each other, and many soldiers were pushed down and trampled by the soldiers in front because they didn't react, and the Yan army was chaotic and had no formation at all, and this time it was even more chaotic.

And at this moment, the cavalry of the Wu'an army also outflanked from both sides, and launched a fierce attack on the two sides of the Yan army. The two wings of the Yan army also quickly collapsed. Seeing this, the Wu'an army advancing in the middle no longer maintained a complete array, but immediately dispersed into a hundred-person squad one by one, fighting separately and attacking the Yan army.

After the three-sided attack of the Wu'an army, the Yan army quickly moved towards the total chaos, and when the cavalry robber and Liaoyang Jun saw it, they immediately turned around and fled in the direction of Jijing.

The Wu'an army naturally would not let go, and then pursued closely, and the whole battle completely became the pursuit and killing of the Yan army by the Wu'an army. The Yan army was killed all over the field, bleeding like a canal, and pushing and trampling on each other, and countless casualties.

After a while, the Yan army fled to their own camp, swarming into the camp, but there are only a few camp gates, and it is only so wide, 200,000 troops want to squeeze into the camp at once, it is impossible at all, not to mention that the Wu'an army is still chasing behind, chasing the rear team of the Yan army to slash and kill, the Yan army is really not in a hurry, some desperately squeeze into the camp, some jump over the camp wall, the original Yan army's camp is temporarily established, not solid, so many people crowded, and suddenly fell into several places.

The Wu'an army then slashed and killed, and entered the Yan army's camp from the gap opened by the Yan army itself, and the Yan army saw that the camp was lost, so they had to leave the camp one after another and flee in other directions. Originally, at the beginning, the Yan army was still concentrated in the direction of the big camp and retreated, but after the big camp was lost, the Yan army immediately fell apart and fled in all directions. It's in either direction. Others surrendered to the Wu'an Army.

The battle lasted until about 3 p.m., and the Yan army that fled back to the Ji army was only 20,000 or 30,000 people. Of course, this does not mean that the other armies were killed or captured by the Wu'an army, in fact, although there were many Yan troops killed in the battle, there were only 60,000 or 70,000 people, and the soldiers captured by the Wu'an army were only more than 20,000 people. The rest of the soldiers fled home.

Because most of the Yan soldiers recruited this time were Yan people recruited from the surrounding areas of Jijing, after the defeat of the Yan army, many Yan soldiers fled back to their homes. After all, the battle has reached this point, and everyone can see that it is impossible for the Yan army to defeat the Wu'an army, and if they flee to Jijing City, they will continue to be soldiers, so it is better to flee home and still be their own ordinary people.

In fact, the statistics of the battle results were almost completely clear until three days later, but it was only on the side of the Wu'an Army that these detailed results were known. In Jijing City, only 200,000 troops are known, and only 20,000 or 30,000 people are left who fled back to Jijing City, and there are not many soldiers who fled back from the last war. On the side of the Wu'an Army, less than 300 soldiers were killed, and a large number of armor and weapons were also collected, and the disparity in the results of the battle was so great that even Gao Yuan felt a little unbelievable.

The defeat of the Yan army also had a great shock in Jijing City, because everyone knew that this time the Wu'an army only dispatched more than 40,000 troops, and did not use any tricks, it was completely an upright array battle, and the 200,000 Yan army was defeated, and the Yan army could not find any reason, and it could not be said that the Yan army was defeated because the Wu'an army did not abide by the rules, and the Yan army's formation was not lined up and launched an attack.

There are some soldiers who fled into Jijing City, they witnessed the scene of Gao Yuan throwing spears in front of the battle, and after retreating to Jijing City, they even passed the legend of this scene to the gods, one of the most exaggerated versions is that Gao Yuan is a thousand steps away, a total of ten spears were thrown, and each spear continuously penetrated the bodies of ten Yan soldiers. Therefore, now in the entire Jijing City, there is a deep fear of the Wu'an Army, and even a three-year-old child does not dare to cry when it comes to the name of the Wu'an Army or the plateau.

It was dusk when the Yan army was defeated and returned to Jijing, Yan Wangxi was enjoying the song and dance, while having dinner, after hearing the news of the defeat of the Yan army, Yan Wangxi was stupid at the time, and after being stunned for a long time, Yan Wangxi came back to his senses, of course, he had no intention of eating, but immediately ordered to gather all the ministers and gather together with the two generals of the defeated army.

At this time, the ministers of Yan State were all in their own mansions, some were drinking wine, some were enjoying songs and dances, and some had already rested at this time, most of them did not know that the Yan army was defeated, and after receiving Yan Wangxi's order, the ministers could only complain while changing into official uniforms, and then rushed to the palace to see Yan Wangxi.

By the time the ministers of the Yan Kingdom had gathered, the sky had already darkened, and more than a dozen red oil waxes were lit on the main hall of the Yan Kingdom, which was illuminated. However, at this time, all the ministers of Yan Kingdom knew the news of the defeat of the Yan army, and there were only more than 20,000 people left in the 200,000 army. Of course, at this time, all the ministers also understood Yan Wangxi's decision, and there were no complaints.

Yan Wangxi coughed dryly and said: "Zhongqing, now that our Yan army has been defeated, the Wu'an army is approaching the city, and Jijing is in danger, do you have a strategy to protect the Yan Kingdom?" But when he had said that, there was silence in the hall, and not a single minister spoke.

After waiting for a while, Yan Wangxi asked again, but still no one spoke, at that time, the three main ministers who strongly opposed the acceptance of the plateau's peace conditions, Qi Zheng and Liaoyang Jun were the generals of the defeated army, of course, they were not qualified to speak, and Xiangguo Honggao also looked down at his toes, Yan Wangxi's question, as if he hadn't heard it.

And Yan Wangxi couldn't help but be angry, and said by name: "Xiangguo, it was you who persuaded the widow at the beginning, and you must not make peace with the Wu'an army, and now that my Yan army has returned defeated, what strategy do you have to retreat from the enemy?" ā€

Honggao hurriedly said: "The king, according to the minister's opinion, now the only way to ask for help from the Qin State can we solve the danger of my Yan State, please appoint the king as a messenger to immediately send an envoy to Xianyang of the Qin State, and the minister will definitely be able to persuade the Qin Jun to send troops to rescue the Yan State." ā€

Yan Wangxi snorted and said, "When you arrive in Xianyang and invite the Qin army, I'm afraid Jijing will have already been lost." ā€

Honggao suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, and lowered his head again and pretended to be dumb. The other ministers were even speechless, and they all lowered their heads one by one, and many ministers even subconsciously took a few steps back, as if they would not be named by Yan Wangxi.

At this time, Taifu Wucai came out unhurriedly, and said: "The king, earlier the prince made a statement, made peace with the plateau, gave him 2,000 eridium gold, 200,000 stone grain, and exchanged for the withdrawal of the Wu'an army, which was a good policy to protect the Yan country, but unfortunately the ministers insisted on not obeying, self-righteous, and underestimated the plateau, and must be the enemy of the Wu'an army, and suffered a fiasco. ā€

In fact, Yan Wangxi just waited for others to build yƬ and then use Tai Xiaodan's opinion to make peace with the plateau, so after Ju Wu finished speaking, Yan Wangxi immediately said: "Prince, the widow ordered you to go and make peace with Gao, and still according to the previous conditions, give him 2,000 eridium gold and 200,000 stone grain, and let Gao Yuan retreat, do you think it is feasible?" ā€

Prince Dan came out and said, "Back to the king, this proposal is not feasible." ā€

King Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is it not feasible?" ā€
