These representatives all come from ordinary people, both the original residents of these two counties and refugees who fled from the north to the south, but the squires in the county did not have any, because Zhang Liao understood that if the war drags on too long, these ordinary people will To become the main force in defending the city, as for the squires, it is natural to let them share wealth and wealth, but it is a bit boring to let them share the same adversity. This knowledge was taught to him by Liu Xin. He didn’t know if it was right, and he didn’t need it. To figure it out, just follow Liu Xin’s instructions resolutely.
On the battlefield that stretched for hundreds of steps, the corpses of the Xianbei were everywhere. The horses that lost their masters wandered lonely, and the blood stained the ground dark red. Most people had never seen such a tragic scene. I can’t control it anymore, lying on the side of the road and vomiting. Some people are pale and can’t move.
The well-trained soldiers of the Han army are obviously accustomed to this situation. They cleaned the battlefield step by step, gathered the ownerless war horses, dragged the Xianbei’s corpse into a previously dug pit to bury it, sprinkled it with lime, and covered it again. Up the soil,
It is summer. If these corpses are not handled in time, they will rot and smell in a few days, and then they will spread germs and cause plagues. This is a greater threat than the Xianbei cavalry.
It wasn't until the Han soldiers were halfway to clean the battlefield that the panic-stricken representatives of the common people came back to their senses. Some people helped clean the battlefield, and some went to condolences the wounded soldiers. Zhang Liao finally laughed when he saw this scene. Available, why worry about being unbreakable,
The brigade led by Kuitou crashed into the remnant Xianbei army in the afternoon. The 10,000 forwards led by Murongxiong were almost wiped out, leaving only 2,000 wounded who lost their horses, and Suli’s 30,000 cavalry. , Only 12,000 people fled back, and even Suli himself was lost in the army.
Unfavorable, the leader was unconsciously furious, and ordered all these four thousand defeated soldiers to be beheaded. Although Xianbei was cruel, he was not merciful to deserters, but he killed 14,000 defeated soldiers at once. The situation has never happened before. In fact, the leader did not want to be like this. After all, he killed so many people and made too many enemies, which is extremely detrimental to his position in Xianbei and sweating profusely.
However, although the Xianbei army he transferred was more than 200,000, it was divided into several factions. Many of them did not approve of his profuse sweat. If he didn't come to a trick to kill the chickens and the monkeys, in the future battles, other people would be very troublesome. It may be against his orders, the priority is to preserve strength. In that case, don't say meritorious deeds, I am afraid that you will lose miserably. The leader is a person who wants to do big things. He has always been cruel, and killed a few more people against him Say nothing,
It was Queji who was responsible for the execution. He was one of the three chiefs of Xianbei in Liaodong. He has not seen the shadow of the Han army since this battle. The other two chiefs, Micah and Suri, who have been with him day and night are already there. The soul returns to the west. Now, the chieftain is still in charge of the execution of the four thousand remnants who have been defeated and retreated. Most of these remnants belong to Liaodong Xianbei or other small tribes in Liaodong. The intention to kill chickens has been fully revealed.
Que Ji was uneasy, but although he still had thirty thousand teams under his team, compared with the one hundred thousand teams of Xianbei in the central part of the leading lineage, there was a big difference in strength. He didn't dare to act rashly, he could only be strong. Enduring the grief in my heart, watching the strange places of these four thousand people,
Seeing Que Ji gloomy, Kuitou smiled and patted his back, and said: "Que Ji, now Miga and Suri are dead. From then on, you are the unique leader of Liaodong. I am here first. I'm glad to you,"
Queji didn't dare to refute, he secretly sighed, and said, "I'll tell you how to deal with the corpses of these tribesmen,"
According to Xianbei’s rules, these corpses should be cremated, but how to separate 14,000 corpses for cremation requires a lot of time and energy. ,
Kuitou said without hesitation: "Push down Fenhe,"
This is exactly the viciousness of Kuitou. The two men and horses in front, the entire 40,000 cavalry soldiers, were almost invulnerable, and Kuitou had to re-examine the combat effectiveness of the Han army. Fenshui is in the upper reaches of Daling, and the weather is hot now. , The corpse will decay in a few days, and it will soon pollute the entire water source, and disease can be spread in Daling City at that time, and Daling City will not be attacked.
Queji certainly couldn't think of such a far-reaching, but he did not dare to violate Kuitou's orders, so he had to follow Kuitou's words. Kuitou did not immediately organize an attack, but led the army to twenty miles north of Daling City. Set up the camp, anyway, all the food and grass are provided by Yuan Shao, and he is not eager to attack. If Daling City can be messed up by itself, wouldn’t it be better
The sun gradually slanted to the west, and Gao Lan led 50,000 reinforcements to finally reach the inner yellow city. There are many arrows, stones, wood, and dirt on the ground scattered under the inner yellow city, all of which seem to tell people that this place has just ended. There was a big battle, but the Yuan Jun's battle flag above the city was still fluttering in the wind, and there was no shadow of a Jingzhou army under the city. All these made Gao Lan a lot of relief.
The defenders on the front of the city had already seen the banner of this man and horse, but they were nervous to open the city gate easily. Jiang Qi held the battlement with his hand and yelled and asked: "Who is here?"
Gao Lan rode out with a spear, arched his hands towards the city, and said: "General Jiang, don’t come without any problems. Gao heard that the Jingzhou army had attacked Neihuang, so he invited troops to rescue him, and asked General Jiang to expedite the city. Door, let me wait in,"
Among Yuan Jun, Gao Lan's position is second only to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Wen Chou stays in Yecheng to protect Yuan Shao. Therefore, among the generals of Li Yang, Gao Lan ranks second. Jiang Qi is only Neihuang's guard. The status should be under Gao Lan, but Yuan Jun’s generals often fought openly and secretly. Jiang Qi believed that Wu Yi and Taoism were not inferior to Gao Lan, so he always refused to accept Gao Lan.
Seeing Gao Lan appearing below the city, Jiang Qi did not order to open the city gate, but laughed loudly: "General Gao, you are late. The Jingzhou army has been repelled by Jiang. However, the inner city of Huangcheng is a source of food. Shigedi, please forgive Jiang for not letting General Gao into the city, and please forgive General Gao."
Liu Xin, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao all claim to be orthodox. In Liu Xin and his subordinates, the other two are Yuan Jun and Cao Jun. They themselves are the real Han army. In the eyes of the other two, Liu Xin Jiang Qi’s army was nothing more than the Jingzhou local army. After daybreak, Jiang Qi originally thought there would be a fierce battle, but the Jingzhou army retreated by himself. Pen, Jiang Qi, of course, will not give him this great contribution, and will not let him into the city.
Gao Lan was dumbfounded by Jiang Qi’s reasons, so he looked up and said: "Neihuang is a heavy ground for cultivating food, so Gao must not go in. However, for fear of the harassment of the Jingzhou army again, Gao is willing to help the general's 30,000 soldiers and horses. ,"
Jiang Qi waved his hand and said: "No need, Jiang is here, Jingzhou Army will be extremely difficult to step into the Neihuang step. If General Gao really wants to help Jiang, Jiang really has something to ask for, today there is a batch of grain and grass. If you want to ship to Liyang, how about asking General Gao to escort him?"
There are as many as 500,000 troops in Liyang, plus the 100,000 people in Wuheng. The daily consumption of grain and grass is definitely a staggering astronomical figure. Therefore, Jiang Qi is still under great pressure in transporting grain and grass. He asked Gao Lan to escort the grain and grass on his behalf, but he didn't want to find something to prevaricate. What's more, if it weren't for Guan Yu and his sons to attack the city overnight, there would indeed be a batch of grain and grass to be shipped today, but Jiang Qi didn't know that he had attacked the city last night Where have all the horses and horses gone, so long before they dared to make any moves,
Gao Lan shook his head, and said, "Jingzhou Army attacked Yecheng, and General Yan led the troops back to help. Li Yang only has 50,000 defenders left, so there is no need to transport food."
Jiang Qi suddenly changed his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Gao Lan, you know that the lord is in distress, and you don't want to save you, but come here, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Shao is a bogey for outsiders. If Jiang Qi’s words were passed to Yuan Shao’s ears, Gao Lan couldn’t imagine what the result would be.
Gao Lan finally held back his anger, and said bitterly: "Since there is no problem here, Gao has gone to Yecheng, and I hope General Jiang will do it for himself."
"Haha, General Gao went all the way well, I wish General Gao a success," Jiang Qi arched his hands on the city head, but sneered in his heart. When there is a chance in the future, he must say something in front of Yuan Shao. Look at Gao. Lan still dare to show prestige in front of herself,
Gao Lan knew that there would be no good results if he continued to speak here, so he snorted and walked around Neihuang with 50,000 pacers and walked towards the northwest. Although it is getting late, it should be time for camping. But because Jiang Qi said this, Gao Lan decided to leave overnight.
It took them a whole day to rush from Liyang to Neihuang. If they continue to march at this speed, even if they leave early tomorrow, they will still not be able to reach Yecheng by tomorrow night. If that is the case, he will be dead. For the crime, Gao Lan made up his mind to rush to Yecheng before dawn.
This time when he returned to aid Yecheng, Yan Liang divided his troops into three teams. The first team consisted of 100,000 Wuheng cavalry. Apart from their horses and their weapons, these Wuheng cavalry had almost no outfits. , Maybe this time has arrived at the city of Yecheng, the second team is Yuan Jun's own 100,000 cavalry, led by Yan Liang himself, these cavalry movements are slower than that of Wuheng cavalry, and will not go overnight. It is estimated that the march will not arrive until tomorrow morning. The remaining third team consists of 300,000 infantry troops. The team is huge and has to carry heavy grains and grass. Naturally, the speed will not be fast, but their goal is to reach Yecheng. You can also arrive before sunset tomorrow,
In order to prevent him from becoming the last one to arrive, Gao Lan decided to march overnight and was not allowed to stop to rest. Everyone could only feed their hunger with dry food. What Gao Lan did not expect was that he was 50 miles south of Yecheng at this time. Engaged in a fierce battle,
