To the west, in Zeye, the shouts of killing shook the sky. Jingyi's coalition forces and Yuan's army were fighting each other, refusing to give in to each other.

The powerful generals led by Jia Long, Huang Zhong and others formed formations on all sides to prevent Lei Bo and Li Feng from breaking through with their troops, intending to trap them to death in this desperate situation.

Although the front armies of Lei Bo and Li Feng had already left the swamp pontoon and were not trapped by the terrain, because the Jing and Yi armies had prepared an ambush in advance, the Yuan army was still at a disadvantage, and the current situation was only maintained.

.

Especially on the two wings of their troops, the troops of Kuai Yue and Cai Xun were constantly harassing them with bows and crossbows. They were well prepared and killed many of Yuan's soldiers with bows and arrows shortly before the war started. The arrows were raining down from the sky.

Yuan Jun was so pressed that he couldn't breathe.

Lei Bo and Li Feng were both lieutenants under Yuan Shu and were important generals. Both of them were able to judge the situation and seize the situation. Seeing that the war was not in their favor, they led their troops to break out of the encirclement to the west, seeking a breakthrough.

But there was a man leading five hundred soldiers to the west, waiting for them.

It's Yan Yan, Sima of the Yizhou Army.

From the beginning of the war to now, Yan Yan has not taken any action. He just followed Jia Long's military order and led 500 soldiers to guard the west to prevent anyone from escaping.

Facts have proved that this arrangement is indeed correct.

Seeing Lei Bo and Li Feng fighting through the military formation and running towards him, Yan Yan took a long breath, clamped his horse's belly, and shouted to the five hundred Yizhou sergeants behind him: "Follow.

let me try!"

Lei Bo and Li Feng were running towards the west when suddenly they saw a powerful army coming towards them and killing them.

The general at the head, who was in his forties, was sprinting toward his side with all his strength, supported by elite cavalry.

Lei Bo and Li Feng thought they could escape and ascend to heaven, but the appearance of Yan Yan made their hearts feel chilly.

Li Feng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "At this time, the only way to escape is to fight to the death!"

Lei Bo nodded heavily in agreement.

The two men then urged their troops to meet Yan Yan and his men.

The armies of both sides collided heavily, making a deafening sound.

The dazzling blood instantly infected every inch of the land, and wailings were heard one after another. People fell on their backs, broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and the sound of iron weapons clashing shook the eardrums of everyone in the two armies.

Under the protection of the elite cavalry, Yan Yan went crazy and slaughtered Yuan Jun fiercely. He seemed to be venting the anger in his chest. His eyes were blood red, and every knife in his hand was red. His bravery

The level is actually no less than that of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong on the battlefield...

It was this strong momentum that enabled him to quickly kill in front of Yuan Jun Lieutenant Li Feng.

The two led their troops separately and fought against the horses...

After one blow, Li Feng was struck on the left side of the chest by Yan Yan, and he fell off his horse amid a burst of painful wails.

"wind!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

The soldiers behind Yan Yan shouted loudly! Their morale was greatly boosted, and the cheers soared into the sky.

…

Liu Qi held his long sword and sat on his horse, looking at the battle in the distance. He also received military reports from his scouts from time to time.

"Master Wen Sima has led his army to defeat Chen Lan's tribe. Chen Lan abandoned his army and ran eastward!"

Liu Qi nodded: "Okay."

"Reporting to Lord Fu, Lord Dian seriously injured the enemy general Ji Ling. Ji Ling was rescued by his subordinates desperately. Lord Dian did not pursue him because he was injured."

Liu Qi still said: "Okay, if you are injured, there is no need to show off, just let him go."

"The Lord of the Prefecture, Jia Gong, Huang Sima and others defeated the front of the enemy army. Lei Bo was injured and fled, and Yuan Jun Lieutenant Li Feng killed Yan Sima."

"Okay, I will take credit for Yan Yan." Liu Qi nodded again.

…

After a fierce battle, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Yuan Army were trapped in the lake. About half of them were annihilated by the Jingzhou Army and the Yizhou Army. The rest, along with the commanders of various ministries and villages, asked Liu Qi to surrender.

Zhang Yun led the crowd back to Liu Qi and said: "Bo Yu, there are many soldiers in Yuan's army who are trapped in the lake, and they all want to surrender... Should they accept the surrender or kill them?"

Liu Qi asked: "How many people are there?"

Zhang Yun replied: "I don't know exactly at the moment, but I estimate there will be at least several thousand people."

Liu Qi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Why are there so many?"

Zhang Yun immediately explained to Liu Qi.

Logically speaking, when two armies are fighting in the wilderness, after the losing side is routed, the soldiers will scatter in all directions even if they do not follow the general in retreat, and very few of them will remain in the formation and eventually surrender to the enemy in desperation.

But today's battle situation is somewhat different from usual. It is also because of the special regional nature of the pontoon swamp that the number of Yuan's troops who died or escaped in the swamp was not very large. Most of the soldiers were trapped in it, unable to do anything.

Follow the Lord and you will escape.

And in the end they had no choice but to surrender.

After the explanation, Zhang Yun then asked Liu Qi for instructions: "The surrender is a bit too much, Boyu...do you accept it?"

In this era, recruiting surrender troops was very particular. On the surface it sounded like a good thing, but in reality it was not that at all.

First of all, there must be enough grain. The grain output these days is too low. If you take one more soldier, you will have one more mouth to eat, which you cannot afford to feed.

The second is to see whether the surrendered soldiers are available, because many of the soldiers' ancestral homes and hometowns are not in the place where they surrendered. If they left their hometowns and returned to the past, and were separated from their hometowns for a long time, there would be certain problems in terms of loyalty.

It would be better to abscond secretly and return home, but I am afraid that in the future, I might collude with others in the army, which would be a waste of money.

Liu Qi gently slapped his left hand with the horse whip in his hand, frowning, as if he was thinking seriously.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Liu Qi finally made up his mind.

"Quite surrender!"

Zhang Yunlue said doubtfully: "Bo Yu, you need to be more careful. There are thousands of Yuan soldiers. If there is a mutiny, it may be a big disaster."

Liu Qi naturally understood that Zhang Yun was doing this for his own good.

"Brother, I also know about this. It's just that if I don't accept these surrenders, it may damage my reputation, so I'll keep them for now."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It damages the prestige?" Zhang Yun didn't quite understand.

Liu Qi explained for him: "I have now been appointed the governor of Nanyang County by the imperial court. Although Nanyang County is currently in the hands of Yuan Shu, according to the law, the nobles in Nanyang County are powerful and the capital of Guizhou should be under my rule.

civil."

Zhang Yun suddenly reacted.

"Yes, Yuan Shu has entered Nanyang. If he wants to expand his army, he will recruit strong men from Nanyang County. It is estimated that many of the surrendered soldiers are natives of Nanyang County."

"Yes, since they are the people of Qi, the capital of Guizhou, under my rule, if I don't accept them, I may lose my dignity. If they accept their surrender, the news will spread to Nanyang, which will definitely enhance the reputation of Nanyang's new governor."

Zhang Yun said hurriedly: "I will do it now!"

…

In the battle of Zemarsh outside Jun County, Liu Qi and Jia Long ambushed more than 10,000 troops of Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others, and defeated them all. Ji Ling was seriously injured and left, and Li Feng was beheaded by Yan Yan.

More than 4,000 soldiers who were trapped on the pontoon in the marsh surrendered to Liu Qina.

In addition to surrendering their troops, the Jingzhou Army and Yizhou Army also searched for the ordnance and armor left behind by Yuan Shu's command in Zene, and turned over a lot of iron military supplies.

Nanyang County is a large iron-smelting county, and the armor and weapons worn by the soldiers are indeed much better than the equipment of the Jingzhou Army.

This battle was a fruitful one for the Jing and Yi coalition forces.

…

After the war, Liu Qi ordered a feast for the soldiers to reward the three armies.

Since the troops were dispatched from Zigui, the Jingyi Allied Forces have lived a very hard life in the past half year.

The soldiers slept in the open and traveled thousands of miles. Even though they defeated the powerful armies of Hu Zhen and Lu Bu in the previous battle, they did not relax at all.

But today, the officers and soldiers of the three armies can finally make a lot of noise.

This is the right they deserve and what they deserve for their hard work over the past six months.
