Chapter 676: Silent Soldiers
Yuan Shu only thought that he had already controlled the overall situation, as long as he caught Qin Feng, the great cause could be accomplished. So, he didn't listen to the dissuasion and frantically waved his army in pursuit.
And Qin Feng was in the middle of it, retreated according to the strategy, and soon led the army to cross the dense forest ambushed by Ma Chao.
"Kill!"
"Catch Qin Feng!"
"Reward a thousand gold, seal ten thousand households!"
Yuan Shu made a bloody investment, and Yuan Jun screamed heartbreakingly and pursued frantically.
When the 100,000 Yuan army passed halfway, only a cannon was heard, and a man and horse came out of the dense forest.
Ma Chao led Ma Dai and other generals to rush and kill, but Yuan Jun was caught off guard and was immediately cut off by the ambush. For a time, Yuan Shu's army was chaotic, and the soldiers did not know the generals and generals.
"It's not good, it's in an ambush!" Yuan Shu was originally very majestic standing on the luxurious dragon bowl to command the battle, as if he was really an emperor with perfect martial arts. However, when he saw that there was an ambush at this moment, his face turned green, and he screamed: "Escort."
, Escort! With a stabbing sound, he slipped back into the dragon's bowl.
General Ji Ling couldn't help but feel resentful, and said in his heart: "I knew that there was an ambush, how could Qin Feng be defeated yesterday, tell you, you don't listen!" However, he still had to escort him, so he commanded the front army to surround the chariots of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, and shouted: "Don't panic, retreat in formation!" β
Qin Feng turned around at this time, bravely entered the enemy formation first, and stabbed the Zhenwu Taiji spear in his hand, killing three enemy soldiers in an instant.
The soldiers of the Qin army saw that the leader was fearless, and they all rushed to be the first. Fight into the enemy's formation, wield his blade wantonly, and strangle the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu, who was already in chaos.
In the wolf dust that covered the sky and the sun, Yuan Shujun was completely confused. They didn't dare to fight the Qin army at all. When he saw the Qin army in front of him, he would desperately turn around and retreat, and for a while he would spin around like a headless fly.
But. General Ji Ling played a vital role at the moment. He ordered the banner of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu to be raised high, and people shouted, "Your Majesty is here!" β
Only then did the chaotic Yuan Shu soldiers and horses find some backbones, and they gathered under the banner one after another, and finally had some ability to resist.
A massacre.
Yuan Jun was not well treated, undertrained, and was not at all an opponent of the "brutal" Qin army. But they are like a swarm of bees. The dragon bowl in the center was wrapped in death, which made it impossible for the Qin army to penetrate and kill the puppet emperor Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was in the huge dragon bowl, through the window that could drill people. Seeing that there were all the banners of the Qin army all around, his heart was broken, and he shouted: "Ji Ling, quickly order the rear of the large army." Escort me back to Xia Cai. Fast! β
Since the ancient army, I am afraid that only Yuan Shu dares to play like this.
However, if you abandon the car to protect the handsome, the car can be abandoned, let alone a pawn.
Since the soldiers gathered in front of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu's car, Ji Ling's order could be conveyed quickly.
Yuan Shu's army instinctively obeyed the order and rallied. Only then did he find out that he wanted the queen to resist the pursuit of the Qin army. They were willing to die, crying dad and shouting mother.
However, it still bought time for the retreat of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu. I saw the dragon horse in front of the dragon driving vigorously, pulling the car and driving miles and galloping on the field. And the Yuan Shu inside. "Oops, my elbow, oops, my bulengai, oops, oh, my waist is ......." The hateful Qin Zijin is too cunning! β
Yuan Shu grabbed the window of the dragon and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the pursuers moving away.
At this time, there was another cannon shot, and Dian Wei led 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush over, laughed, and said: "Yuan Shu, you let me wait for so long, accept my life!" β
"Escort, Ji Ling escort!" Yuan Shu didn't expect that there would be ambush soldiers, his face turned purple, and he just asked Ji Ling to escort him.
Ji Ling is a rare heroic general in Huainan, although he knew that he was not Dian Wei's opponent, but with the heart of death, he led the troops to meet him. He rose up and fought with Dian Wei.
"Huh!" Dian Wei was surprised and said, "You kid has two hits!" β
Ji Ling's face was embarrassed, and he brandished the three-pointed two-edged knife like crazy, ignoring the double iron halberd that stabbed him, just frantically slashing Dian Wei.
For a time, the two generals were inseparable.
Yuan Shu was able to escape, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a movement outside the dragon and two people came in. He suddenly burst into heart and exclaimed, "Escort, there are assassins, assassins!" β
Who knew that the two people who came in bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, we are here to protect ...... Escorted! β
Yuan Shu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yang Hong and Yan Xiang. It turned out that the pony that the two of them were riding was too steady to run fast, so they got into a fast car with eight dragon horses to save their lives.
In this regard, Yuan Shu led hundreds of remnants of the army to return to Xia Cai in the escort of everyone's "desperate".
At this time, the car stopped.
Yuan Shu was furious, peeking a dragon's head out of the window, and shouted: "Bastard, why stop, hurry up and enter the city!" β
Left and right hurriedly said; "Your Majesty, look!"
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Cai Cheng, and saw the banner of the Qin army fluttering at the head of the city. He was shocked in his heart and exclaimed, "Wow, when did the Qin army run in front of me!" β
At this time, Yang Hong's head also protruded from the window, juxtaposing with Yuan Shu's head. He saw that a general at the head of the city was familiar, and exclaimed: "It's not good, it's the general who surrendered yesterday!" β
Only then did Yuan Shu realize that he turned his head and exclaimed to Yang Hong: "It's a fraud!" β
Yang Hong also turned his head and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!" β
Both of their heads were at the window, and they turned their heads at the same time, almost kissing each other.
Yuan Shu's face turned green suddenly, there are hundreds of beautiful women in his palace, and the trend is normal, he was furious when he saw this, and said in his heart, How can this emperor play with you! He pulled Yang Hong down, and flew in the dragon and kicked violently.
"Wow! His Majesty spared his life, and the minister didn't mean it! Yang Hong screamed.
After Yuan Shu beat him violently, he revisited his head and said angrily: "Zhang Ping, why do you rebel!" β
Zhang Ping, who was at the head of the city, led 5,000 elite Qin troops to take Xia Caicheng after Yuan Shu's army left. At this moment, he was majestic and angrily reprimanded: "Today's strife, the society is in danger of exhaustion, and the living beings are in urgent need of hanging upside down. My lord Qin Gong, assisted by the Chaogang, and all surnames are devoted. The Quartet is still conscientious. What kind of thing are you, how dare you call yourself emperor? β
"Like a traitor. Who will descend on you. This will be Zhang Ping, the tiger guard under the account of the Duke of Qin, and he will come to take you from Caicheng! β
"What!" Yuan Shu was furious, and said that Qin Zijin was really despicable and shameless, and he forced the Son of Heaven to seal the prince and ask for Jiuxi, which was the real number one shameless person in the world. However, Yuan Shu has already proclaimed himself emperor, if he refutes it with such remarks. It is contrary to his identity as the king of a country. Unable to defend himself, he was so angry that he fell on top of the dragon and fainted.
Yang Hong was shocked. exclaimed; "Quick, hurry up, return to Shouchun!"
So, the eight dragon horses galloped at full strength. Flee with the dragon and hope for Shouchun. Hundreds of Yuan troops accompanied here. In the end, he chose to surrender.
In the 8th year of Jian'an in the Qin calendar, in late May 199 AD, the Qin army defeated the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu, the puppet emperor of Zhongguo, in Xia Cai, and beheaded 70,000. The remnants of the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhongguo Kingdom fled back to Shouchun with their puppet emperor Yuan Shu holding their heads, crossing the Huaishui.
Qin Feng's army entered Xia Cai and pacified the people at the same time. Rest.
Within a day, good news came from Runan County and Lujiang County.
Qin Jun Zhao Yunbu. Fight with Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun and the outskirts of Runan. Zhao Yun killed Yuan General Qiaorui in front of the array, Yuan Shu's army was defeated, and Zhang Xun led the people to retreat. However, Zhao Zilong, the Marquis of Changshan, is worthy of being the new god of war. He rode alone, picked up hundreds of Yuan troops with guns, and killed the general Zhang Xun in the enemy formation.
Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui died one after another, the Yuan army lost its commander, and the whole army was defeated. Zhao Yun pursued all the way, beheading 50,000, and his own losses were minimal. And the three armies of Runan, Anfeng, and Yiyang in Yuzhou, which Yuan Shu occupied, surrendered to the wind. In this way, Qin Feng regained the three counties of Yuzhou.
On the other hand, Gao Shun fought with Zhongguo generals Chen Ji and Chen Lan against Lujiang. He feigned failure in the siege battle, Chen Ji and Chen Lan went out of the city to pursue, and were defeated by Gao Shun, who fought back. Gao Shun immediately ordered the army to change into Yuan Shu's uniform, beat the banner of Yuan Jun, and deceived Lujiang City.
Chen Ji and Chen Lan led the remnants of more than 50,000 people and retreated back to the capital of Zhongguo, which was also the last stronghold of Zhongguo, Shouchun.
Shouchun, Zhongguo Imperial Palace.
Yuan Shu roared angrily on the dragon throne, and said: "Successive defeats, what do I want you to do, is the money I gave you all?" β
In the palace, Yuan Yin, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Ji Ling, Chen Ji, Lei Bo and others were very embarrassed.
Yuan Shu saw that no one answered, and he was even more furious: "Now, more than 200,000 Qin troops have committed crimes against my Zhongguo. Could it be that in my country, there is no loyal minister to turn the tide? He was almost hysterical, and suddenly pulled out the head of the bronze statue of the rare beast next to him and threw it.
Ding Bang ......, and a huge sound echoed in the hall, as if it was smashed into the hearts of the ministers of Zhongguo, and everyone's faces turned pale.
Yan Xiangjin said: "Your Majesty is angry, our army still has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we will definitely be able to block the offensive of the Qin army with all our strength." The generals can be ordered to lead their own troops and arrange a defensive line on the Huaishui line. β
Shouchun is west of the Huai River, northwest of the Yangtze River, is a rare rich delta surrounded by water on three sides. If you can defend, you can be self-sufficient in the long run.
Yuan Shu's face was a little better.
At this time, Yang Hong's eyes rolled and said, "Your Majesty, there are millions of people in our country, and men of appropriate age can be recruited into the army." There are millions of people, Qin Feng must be afraid, and he will not fight the soldiers of the people! β
Ji Ling was shocked and shouted, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed. The new recruits have not been trained, and although there are millions of people, they are mixed, and it is really difficult to convey orders, so it is better to only use skilled soldiers and horses! β
Yang Hong sneered and said: "Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, the dragon qi gathers, and all the people are ordered, how can there be something that is difficult to convey in the order." I'm afraid it's because the general doesn't want to fight, right? β
Ji Ling was furious and pointed out: "Yang Hong is a traitorous minister, Your Majesty must not listen to the false words of the traitor!" β
However, Yang Hong sent many women to Yuan Shu, and Ji Ling's repeated defeats were an indisputable fact. Therefore, Yuan Shu refuted Ji Ling and adopted Yang Hong's Jianyì.
In this way, the territory of Shouchun became a mess, and there were strong men everywhere.
Eventually, however, a million people were gathered. When Yuan Shu stood at the head of Shouchun City and saw that the city was overwhelmed with his own soldiers and horses, he was confident again, and at the same time, he trusted Yang Hong even more.
There is a way that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, Yuan Shu endured the pain and took out the money and food he had gathered, and in the sound of the earth-shattering horn, millions of Yuan troops were pulled. Stationed along the Huaishui line, the camp stretches for dozens of miles, and the momentum is amazing. (To be continued......)
