Chapter 30 Laying the Victory

Yan Yang first went to Bashandu to become the governor, and later performed well, became a hundred generals, and then went to Huqin Hall to further study and became the capital of Bashandu. Others knew that he was an old man from Mingyu Mountain, and at first looked down on him, thinking that he was here to be a gilded and experienced. However, Yan Yang had eaten and lived with all his subordinates for half a year, loved soldiers like his sons, was fair and strict, and was not greedy for money. He never took his rewards and gave them all to soldiers. Every night during inspections, he would tuck the snooks of soldiers who accidentally kicked the quilt open, and would personally provide medicine to the sick soldiers. There were countless other things to ask about their well-being.

All the people who drove the mountain were wearing armor, holding a mountain knife, carrying a strong crossbow, and carrying a weight of about twenty kilograms. Their usual training intensity was doubled than that of ordinary Cuiyu soldiers. However, Yan Yang led the way every time he practiced, and his weight was as high as fifty kilograms. In addition, all the subjects specified in the Cuidian were the first, and he quickly won the morale of the army and accepted it from all over the country.

Conquering the morale of the army is only the first step. Then in the confrontation exercises of various departments, Yan Yang showed the temperament of a general. He was not afraid of danger, was not surprised when changes were made, and he almost won the battle. The only two failures were Zhenhaidu, who faced Ye Min, who was designed to introduce a trap. Once, he was killed in a mobile war and was sentenced to more than half of the people, and the Supervision Department was sentenced to the loss, but Zhenhaidu also suffered heavy casualties.

This is not a problem with Zhenhaidu’s combat effectiveness, but the gap between Yan Yang and Ye Min’s command art. This gap cannot be compensated in a short period of time and can only gradually grow through future battles.

An Xiuyuan lost his crown, his hair was scattered, and he was in a mess while sitting on the ox cart. There were horses in the army, but he couldn't ride it. He was riding on the ox cart when he went out of the encirclement. When he rushed out of the encirclement, An Xiuyuan recovered and summoned Zuoqiu Shoubai and said angrily: "Where is Tan Zhuo? Didn't the Yangzhou army be attacking Guazhou and Jingkou with all its strength, and was a ghost coming out here?"

Zuo Qiu Shoubai lowered his head and said, "Tan Sima is still in Yangzi Town, and he has not escaped..."

"Waste! It's all waste!"

An Xiuyuan kicked Zuo Qiu Shoubai hard on the shoulder and kicked him off the ox cart. Zuo Qiu Shoubai did not dodge at all, and even deliberately relaxed the muscles on his shoulders. Not only did he give An Xiuyuan the reward for kicking someone, but he didn't make him feel pain in his feet. Then he rolled on the spot, stood up quickly, climbed onto the ox cart, and kept his head down and kneeling in the same posture just now.

Looking at this lovely person who does his best to serve him every day and night, An Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little apologized. After all, this was not Zuo Qiu Shoubai's fault, but as a prince, it was impossible to apologize. He snorted coldly and said, "Send the order, don't worry about the people behind you, hurry back to Guangling City. With the support of the city, I'm sorry that the thieves will not attack, and then calculate it!"

Before the Xuzhou army left the city, Tan Zhuo advised that he would be ambushed late at night, so it would be best to send a scout, and the area was searched carefully before the army could pass. However, An Xiuyuan was stubborn and thought that what Shang Yongxin said was urgent, which means that the Yangzhou army was attacking the city with all their strength. With their little force, it was impossible to divide the troops, and it was even more impossible to shrink into an inch. He ran to Guangling in just two hours to set up an ambush. Besides, if he really wanted to do what Tan Zhuo said, how could he have time to rescue Guazhou?

Even eating shit can’t catch up with the heat!

Who would have thought that it would really respond to Tan Zhuo's crow's mouth? Zuo Qiu Shoubai replied "Ye" and stepped back away from the ox cart, passing An Xiuyuan's order. The morale of the army was in chaos. The abandoned armor, the abandoned armor, the threw crossbow, and even many people threw away knives and guns. They just regretted that they ran slowly on their legs and retreated towards Guangling like a headless fly.

After walking for only five miles, he turned to the foot of the mountain ahead. An Xiuyuan was frightened by the cry of "Ambushes, there are ambushes" and crawled out of the ox cart. The first ray of light floating in the sky spread faintly on the Pashandu, which was crossed in the middle of the road. He had golden paint and iron armor, leather and long boots, like a huge god who had walked from ancient times, staring at them coldly, as if he was looking at the dead.

With a clear vision and aside from the natural fear of the night, An Xiuyuan was not very afraid. There were only a few hundred enemies in front of him. In addition to a thousand prestige, there were three thousand soldiers under his command, and even if everyone spitted, they could drown them.

"Run, rush over! Master is the most important thing, follow my order, and anyone who kills one person will be rewarded with ten thousand yuan!"

Without An Xiuyuan mobilizing before the battle, everyone knew that it would be death if they didn't rush over. Once they were caught up by the thief army behind them, it would be difficult to escape back to Guangling.

The prestige is worthy of being the leader of the elite in Xuzhou. After a moment of formation, he raised his spear with his hands, first hung on his hips, rushed out five steps, and then went flat to his ribs. When he arrived in front of the Paoshandu formation, he put all his strength mixed with the inertia of forward rushing. The spear pierced out like lightning from the position in front of his chest, rushing straight between the heart and waist and abdomen of the enemy.

Yan Yang stood in front wearing armor, and after the prestige was over half charge, he said coldly: "Rise the knife!"

The front three rows of the pieces raised their knives diagonally.

The enemy's face was clearly visible, and the footsteps were like drum beats, stepping on the lake of heart neatly and violently, but it could not shake the mountains at all.

Yan Yang shouted: "Get out the mountains!"

Five hundred people shouted at each other: "Get out the mountains!"

Slashing in front of the mountain knife!

Like a storm of the shore, thousands of snow are rolling up.

The extremely sharp blade broke through the iron armor of Wei Xindu, split the chest from the shoulder blade, and pulled it out along the hips. Almost in one encounter, Wei Xindu killed more than 300 people.

The human armor is broken!

"Enter!"

Five hundred people took a step forward, bang! The sound of landing was like one person. I wonder if it was an illusion, but the entire mountain road was trembling a little.

"Rise the knife!"

The cold and cold voice of the Yang sounded again.

"Draw the mountains!"

A mountain knife flashed with cold light.

It is as powerful as a rainbow, devouring the world.

In just a few dozen breaths, I simply raised my knife, chopped my knife, chopped my knife, chopped my chop, and chopped me accurately. All my prestige that had been circulating in Xuzhou for many years died under the knife, and the battle damage in Bashandu was minimal.

Looking at the corpses cut into two pieces on the ground, as bloody as hell on earth, the remaining three thousand armored soldiers had already been frightened. As soon as they fought, they were like they had hit a wall of iron and guns could not penetrate the opponent's armor. The gun rods of their own were as crisp as mud. Whether they were mentally or physically, they could no longer hold on. The entire army collapsed immediately. Who cares about An Xiuyuan's orders and fled in all directions.

"Kneel down and hold your head, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Give up the knife and avoid death, and treat prisoners with preferential treatment!"

...

"We are both from Chu, but we were originally robes."

"Abandon the dark and turn to the light, but brother!"

After the bloody battle, it was a heart-breaking attack. Dozens of members of the Supervision Division shouted loudly, all of which were strictly trained eloquence, with both voice and emotion, sincere and touching, and full of infectiousness. Many people hesitated, either turned around to the battlefield where they were ambushed just now, or ran into the wilderness separately, but the chance of survival was not high. If the other party keeps his promise and really surrenders and does not kill, he may be able to survive.

The most important thing is that everyone is indeed of the same kind and origin, and dies at the hands of the Solu, without any resentment, but it is so frustrating to die in such a civil war.

"I've surrendered!"

"We'll also surrender!"

When the first man kneeled down to surrender, the herd effect came into effect, five or ten, one hundred or one thousand, and nearly two thousand people finally chose to surrender. Yan Yang divided two hundred people to take over the prisoners on the spot. When he lost his fighting spirit, these people were not even as good as rabbits and were not threatened. He himself took the remaining people to chase An Xiuyuan.

An Xiuyuan was not good enough to escape, but he was very good at running away. After all his prestige was dead, he knew that the defeat was decided, but he still ordered the remaining three thousand soldiers to launch an attack. Just to delay time, he led more than 20 noble children and 400 guards to evacuate from the rice fields next to him in a swamp that was neither deep nor shallow.

By the time Yan Yang dealt with these prisoners, An Xiuyuan had already run five or six miles away. His subordinates were all heavy equipment and could not catch up at all. After chasing for two or three miles, they had to come back. If they were too far away from the brigade, they might cause trouble.

On the other side, there was still a fierce battle. Although Tan Zhuo was Sima of the Xuzhou Governor's Office, he was not very famous. Qing and Xuzhou had not experienced wars for many years. Sima, who was in charge of officers and soldiers, crossed the border with civil servants and was promoted step by step from the grassroots level, and did not show much military talent.

But gold will always shine. When he fights Xu You tonight, Tan Zhuo is not surprised when he meets him. He responds in a delicate way and commands the defense line that has been cut into several sections. It seems to be shaky, but he can always reorganize the resistance force. Even at this moment, the reserve team with more than a thousand people in his hand has not been put into the battle.

He is still waiting for Xu You’s final trump card!

Zuo Qiong whispered, "Why do I go?" There is still a reserve team of 500 people behind the hillside. As for Hu Erdu, who has not participated in the battle, it has only been a few days since its establishment and has no combat power. Those horses are still Xu You's treasures, so Zuo Qiong is no longer considering it.

Xu You shook his head and said, "I may not be able to command the battle myself every time. Your position is here, so you must learn to look at the overall situation rather than sticking to one corner. Look, Mingjing has eaten the front team now, and Tang Zhijian has also eaten the back team. The middle is divided into three parts by Qi Xiao, with the largest number of people in Tan Zhuo's troops and the most difficult to defeat. He used the flag order to let the three units fight each other, but he can take care of each other. Qi Xiao's division and surround seem to be completed, but in fact, it has not completely realized the tactical intention. This is also the biggest obstacle for our army to not win."

Zuo Qi understood and said, "So he had to find a way to cut off Tan Zhuo's command, so that Mingjing and Tang Zhijian could join forces to break in from the flanks at any cost, forcing Tan Zhuo's flag to retreat. As long as it could disturb for a moment, Qi Xiao could catch the fighter plane, eat the other two first, and then annihilate Tan Zhuo's troops..."

"This is the right way to use troops, but the casualties are too great, we can't bear it." Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "However, the Xuzhou army can't bear it anymore, Qingming Festival!"

Qingming's figure disappeared from the spot.

"With a righteous combination, you will win with a strange victory! Zuo Yu, the tiger ears are all wearing armor and riding on the horse. He told Jiao Meng that the horse will drag the branches behind him, and the tiger flag is in line with the hillside. After hearing the order, he should shout for charge loudly, slow down the horse first, and then speed up. If the enemy collapses, he will immediately stop the horse and pretend to pursue. Do not contact the enemy!"

"Here!"

The Xuzhou army was indeed on the verge of collapse as Xu You expected. Tan Zhuo tightened almost every piece of skin in his body. The things his brain thought about in an instant exceeded the sum of the previous day. Where should we give up, where should we counterattack, where we are suspicious soldiers, and where we are the main force, we all need to make accurate judgments in the blink of an eye, and then make targeted arrangements. If we are not careful, we will be defeated and killed.

But what made him helpless was that the enemy's combat power was far beyond imagination, and the number of people was at an absolute disadvantage, but he was well-equipped and well-trained, and took the lead. Especially in terms of command, he deliberately opened a hole several times, set a trap, and wanted to put some of it in and eat it, but the other party was not fooled.

Tan Zhuo looked up and looked at the hillside not far away. The flying red-feather flag on the Cuiyu told him that the enemy opposite was Xu You's Cuiyu army. If the information was correct, Xu You formed the Cuiyu army with the farmers in Qiantang farming. In just a few months, how could he train such an elite soldier?

It's really terrible!

"Sima, be careful!"

Qingming turned into the Xuzhou army's troops, and could only mix a hundred steps away from Tan Zhuo, and then there were layers of guards with high alert, which could not be approached at all. This was expected. If the general of the army was so easy to be assassinated, there would be no need to fight. You could win by bringing a few more little masters.

He jumped up, and the iron balls in his sleeves were separated. After the impact was made in the air, a large piece of green poisonous mist was emitted. Qingming deliberately shouted loudly: "Tan Zhuo, take your life!"

There were dozens of people in front of Tan Zhuo, including round shields, standing shields, leather shields, and iron shields, overlapping and surrounding them. Twenty thunder crossbows aimed at Qingming in the air. With the harsh sound of breaking through the air, Qingming was suddenly gone.

The next moment, he appeared twenty steps away from Li Shuaiqi. Qingming cut off an axe soldier's neck, picked up the short axe, and threw it out with all his strength.

The axe cut off the flagpole of the flag and creaked down.

Before Tan Zhuo could react, he heard the enemy's cry sounding all over the mountains: "Tan Zhuo is dead, Tan Zhuo is dead!"

Zuo Qi, the third-rank lord, shouted loudly with the Five Hundred Reserve Team. The sound really resounded throughout the four fields, and could be heard even with his ears. Xuzhou Army, who was fighting to the death, subconsciously turned his head and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw that the flag that had been standing still was gone. When he was shocked, he heard the neighing of the war horses again.

"Equipped...Equipped, that's...Equipped cavalry..."

The power of cavalry is well known to the world. When these tightly-clad iron-armored beasts wrapped from head to toe appear, it means that the god of death and failure are coming at the same time.

Tan Zhuo died and appeared in costume.

Jiao Meng began to gallop with a bluffing voice, with dust rolling and tiger flag flying. He didn't know how many cavalry there were. This became the last straw that overwhelmed the psychological defense line, and the Xuzhou army finally couldn't hold on.

First, the first part, then the second part, and in the end, even Tan Zhuo could not control the soldiers in his department and began to retreat without any organization. Xu Youming Zuo Shi led the reserve team to cover the battle and physical strength to kill him. The battle spirit and physical strength of the new force were at its peak. Retreat turned into escape, and escape turned into defeat.

Throughout history, most of the casualties in wars have been caused by the pursuit after the defeat. Even if Wu Qi and Han Xin are alive, they are powerless to face the completely defeated army.

The winner has been decided!

The ruined scene after the war was unbearable. Xu You crossed countless bodies and came to the battlefield next to the Dongcheng River. Tan Zhuo, who was tied into rice dumplings, knelt in front of him, with no regrets or shame, and said calmly: "General Xu is well versed in military tactics, and I am convinced that I am defeated. Whether to kill or chop, I will listen to the emperor!"

Xu You untied the rope for him with his own hands and said entrusting: "Tan Sima uses troops like a god. I admire it very much. This defeat is not the fault of the king, but it is just a lack of luck. If I am in a place, I can't even hold on for half an hour, but Tan Sima resisted for two hours. It is rare."

Tan Zhuo was not pretentious, and stood up with Xu You's support, looked around, his face was tragic, as if he was lost, and said, "These are all great men in Jiangdong. They did not die during the Northern Expedition, but died here..."

Xu You was also heartbroken and said, "There is nothing like a brother in Chang Di. The same family fights, and the relatives are happy! However, An Xiuming killed his father and usurped the throne, slaughtered his brothers, and was unfair to his righteousness. If he did not eliminate this beast, the Chu State would be in peace, so we were willing to take great risks and fight to the death. Tan Sima was loyal to the country. Whether it was King Jiangxia or King Linchuan, he hoped that you could follow the trend, join the prosperity together, and safeguard the people."

Tan Zhuo never looked down on An Xiuyuan's virtues. This time he escaped, he was even more discouraged and immediately bowed down and said, "General Meng will not abandon him, and he is willing to obey the dispatch. From now on, he will be determined!"

After conquering Tan Zhuo, he began to clean up the battlefield. The Xuzhou army killed 8,000 people in battle, injured more than 2,000 people, captured nearly 16,000 people, seized countless food, supplies, armor, swords, guns, arrows, and crossbows.

"I wonder if the military commander will attack Jinling after this battle, or will the governor of Qing, Xu?"

Tan Zhuo asked this question, which shows that he was not only powerful in tactics, but also had a unique strategic vision. Xu You did not hide it from him and said, "Jinling has its own Jingzhou army, and I was ordered to occupy Qing, Xu."

"That's difficult. The Sixth Prince escaped successfully. If we stick to Guangling, it will not be easy to take it down with our little force. Even if we can take it down, the Sixth Prince can still take a boat along Hangou to Huaiyin north, and when we arrive in Pengcheng, we will summon various counties to help, and we will be back to Qingzhou. At that time, we will be deeply trapped in the mud and may not be able to pacify Xuzhou after spending a lot of years."

Xu You smiled and said, "Sima said very well! So An Xiuyuan must not let go. If he doesn't return to Guangling, he will give up. If he returns to Guangling, he will have his own way to make him surrender!"

Tan Zhuo was shocked and said in surprise: "The military commander and the surprise soldiers? Could it be that he has captured Guangling City?"

Xu You smiled without saying a word!
