The battlefield on the 16th suddenly became quiet during the day.

Li Xiong didn't make much noise. Li Cheng's army almost completely moved to the hills, logged wood and set up fences, dug trenches and built walls,

Put on a deep groove and high barrier.

Huan Wen sent some of Shiloushan Hu to fight in the battle, and as a result, his bows, crossbows, spears and shields were repelled.

Without hesitation, he immediately used the mobility of the cavalry to rush north for several miles, targeting the central and rear troops who were moving closer to the forward army.

At first, the army resisted quite well. More than 10,000 people met with Li Xiong's army, but the thousands of people walking at the end suffered a surprising collapse.

In the Fu River, there were countless soldiers running into the river in panic.

Huan Wen stood on a high place and saw the whole picture.

He Fen took hundreds of cavalry and cut tofu like a knife, he directly separated more than 3,000 infantrymen, and then the cavalry was divided into two and dispersed very well.

The knights slowly controlled the speed of the horse, just like sheep grazing. When they encountered running around, they would greet the rain of arrows. While cutting the defeated soldiers into more small pieces, they strictly controlled their way forward.

Some people couldn't run anymore and rushed forward, scaring them to escape again.

Some people ran slowly, picked up their bows and arrows, and after dying the last few people, the people in front completely lost their minds, squeezed out their last potential, and fled.

Someone tried to resist in groups, and the rain of arrows fell instantly, and then the iron cavalry rushed over directly. With a light stroke of the saber, a huge hole was revealed between the chest and abdomen. The long contract was picked and swung twice, and the house fell like rain.

Every hard block trying to "group" was instantly shattered by the "plowshare". In the end, no one on the entire battlefield dared to resist, and everyone cried and ran away in scattering.

Abandoned weapons and armor can be seen everywhere, and countless people trampled on each other and died. The people who were limp on the ground were no different from those who died, and they remained motionless and were left to slaughter.

The three thousand troops were divided into more than ten small groups, completely lost their establishment, completely lost the courage to resist, and even their strength was consumed by expending one thousand and two cleans in their lives.

They were swept and drove to the shore of the water.

The people in front stopped subconsciously, but the people behind were still running around and bumping. For a moment, the "thump" sound was endless. The people who fell into the water cried and tried to climb to the shore, but they were soon knocked into the river by the crowds coming from behind. After a few slums, they quickly disappeared.

It was not until the clear sound that the cavalry stopped pressing forward.

The army knelt or lie on the bank of the river, lost intent and shed tears.

Without weapons, no fighting spirit, no strength, it seems that even the soul is gone.

Huan Wen even suspected that if these people were asked to dig out their own pit, they might have done it numbly.

The defeat is like a mountain of defeat, probably that's it.

On the hills on the other side, Li Cheng and the king and minister looked at the scene silently, and looked at each other with a disgrace.

The untrained infantry had no power to fight back in front of the cavalry and was driven forward in a mess like a sheep. In the end, they completely lost the ability to resist. A cavalry often drove more than a dozen or even dozens of infantry, but none of them turned around and killed. It was incredible and cold all over the body.

Sometimes people can be strong enough to face the armored cavalry and fight to the death, and even if they fight to the death, they will stab the enemy off the horse.

But the same person is sometimes so fragile that he abandons all equipment and armor, and then lies to the ground after exhaustion.

Let the slaughter.

The cavalry tactics of the Liang people were really at its peak. A mere three or five thousand cavalry could seize the 30,000 army and collapsed inch by inch.

It is not impossible to crack this tactic, but they cannot do it, and they can even assert that hundreds of years will come,

This scene will continue to happen.

After everything was settled on the battlefield, the Liang people began to escort the prisoners away.

The hedgehog had already gathered a group of nearly two sides to form an army without any action. It was obvious that the courage had been stolen and the morale had been seized.

The camps built on the hills became the last barrier to protect them, and they were also cages forbidden.

*******

All the Liang army near Dianjiang have been withdrawn, and the grain pipelines of Jiangzhou have been opened, but the situation has not improved and seems to be even more sinister.

On the ninth day of the second month, the tribes of the Ling Baihuyi were persuaded by Xu Yaozu and killed officials from Chengguo and raised the flag to rectify.

If the loss of the tomb is not fatal, then since mid-February, the loss of the counties in Ba County has made the army of Jiangzhou panic. This not only means that they have lost some of the sources of resources, but also blocked a considerable number of transportation channels.

On February 13, someone rebelled in Jianwei County and killed the prefect to surrender.

On February 16th, on the day Li Xiong was surrounded, Langzhong was trapped and Luo Yan was captured.

The next day, Banman in the south of the Yangtze River in Ba County surrendered one after another, almost completely cutting off the retreat of the Jiangzhou army.

At this point, all the troops that Li Cheng could fight in the country were divided into three parts: Li Shou's troops, the army of the General of the East, with more than 30,000 people left, and nearly 10,000 navy troops. The source of food and grass was almost completely cut off. Although Yangguan had not been conquered, he was already in a trapped city:

General Zhenbei served as the transfer department, and there were about two infantry and cavalry left. They were probably the best part of the situation, but with the change of the war situation in the south, it is likely that they will collapse without fighting:

Finally, there were 30,000 soldiers and horses that the Lord Li Xiong gathered hastily. After repeated harassment, the remaining 20,000 people were trapped by thousands of cavalry in a hilly area several miles north of Guanghan, and they were unable to advance or retreat.

Moreover, with Gong Chun leading Banman to conquer Guanghan County on February 18, they were no different from the dead.

I can only rely on the food and grass I carried with the army to spend one day.

Thinking back to the beginning of the war three months ago, Li Cheng mobilized the whole country and recruited a large number of troops, gathering 120,000 troops from land and land. It looked like he was strong.

Three months have passed, and there are still 80,000 or 90,000 troops left. It seems to be OK, but the situation is extremely passive, completely surrounded by cutting and falling to death.

When the war reaches this point, it can be said that the defeat is decided.

Not only was the local soldiers not as good as Shao Liang's combat effectiveness, but even their tactics were completely suppressed. He looked like a sign of death when the main force was still alive.

If 70,000 or 80,000 troops surrender in the end and the country is destroyed in three or four months, it is almost certain that the historical books have a much higher evaluation of them.

Shao Shen received the news on February 20th and immediately sent someone to publicize it.

At the entrance of Yangguan City, Li Shou, Luo Heng, Cai Xing, Shangguan Dan, Li Bao, Jie Siming and other major generals lost their voices for a while after hearing this.

Some news cannot be concealed, let alone Liang people intentionally promote it.

That night, the navy ships anchored on the river below the city were noisy. Governor Luo Heng personally suppressed them, but was taken by the rioters and drove downstream to seek the Liang army surrender.

To be fair, the surrender of the Navy was the smartest move, because they really defeated the Liang army on the battlefield and showed their own value.

After the first group surrendered, the second group soon appeared, and the third group, including Lu Shi, was making noise, so Li Shou was decisive in handling it and barely suppressed it.

However, due to the severe shaking of the morale of the military, the fall of Jiangzhou and Yangguan was already in the evening.

*******

However, no one expected that Chengdu was the first to have problems.

On the 21st, Liang Jun’s Rangers appeared outside the outskirts of Chengdu.

"Li Xiong has been defeated, so why not surrender?"

"Fifty thousand people in Yangguan were all lifted out of their armor."

"Yang Nanbian Killing Ren Dian, Xiancheng is the only one who descends in Chengdu. You can descend quickly."

While the knight was running back and forth, he also held a few heads with a spear, which was not real from a distance, but he should be the Duke and General of Chengguo.

Prince Li Ban was in charge of government affairs in Chongde Hall of the East Palace. When he heard the news, he was disgraced with Prince Left Guard leading Li You.

Prime Minister Fan Ben also received the news as soon as possible.

He left the palace directly, drove back to his house, and sent someone to notify his familiar officials to meet at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There was already some chaos in the city.

The common people are the easiest to panic and the most realistic.

They won’t listen to how many enemies they kill today, and kill a few more generals tomorrow. They only know that Liang thieves are riding outside the city. What does this mean? It means that no one will stop them along the way!

Why no one stopped him? After a great defeat, all the soldiers and generals died, so of course no one stopped him.

The first thing that the crowd gathered was the grain and oil shop. More and more people gathered there, took out all the valuable things in their homes, and did everything possible to buy food.

It may be good if the city is broken, but what I fear most is the siege. At that point, is it strange to make a bucket of rice hundreds of stagnant? Not to mention rice, a mouse can sell you thousands of dollars!

Their snap-up further aggravated the panic and quickly spread to every inch of the city.

Not long after, the noise gradually became louder, but there were almost no soldiers in the city. Except for the prince's left and right guards, the other palace guards, were plundered and taken away by the emperor, so that no one could suppress them for a while.

The young men took the opportunity to make trouble in masks. Their self-pregnant is a high-ranking market. The big family began to close the yard gate. Even the old Cangtou, who was inconvenient to legs, held a knife to the wall. As for why there were no young people, of course they were conquered by the emperor.

Fan Ben put down the curtain of the carriage and sighed secretly.

"It's only three months, and the situation of the battle has taken a sharp turn." He thought to himself: "If you lose so easily, the Liang soldiers may be despised by the people of Shu, and it will be difficult for them to live in the future. But what can you do if the battle is like this?"

Being despised by Liang Bing is indeed a very fatal problem. Fan Rui is a very experienced person and can see this key at a glance.

In the past, it was not easy for Cao Wei to destroy Shu. After the war, there were occasional minor chaos in Shu, which was generally peaceful. Even the natives in Shu were recruited and became officials. Cao Wei and Sima Pu adopted the policy of mercy as a whole.

Why is this? The value that has been created by the two countries for many years is a factor that cannot be ignored.

If the Ministry of Marshal destroyed Li Cheng in three months, how can you expect others to respect you? Shao Xun is not a good man and a trustworthy woman.

"Something wrong!" Fan Ben sighed and said to himself.

To be honest, during this national war, the Shu tribes did not support the imperial court enough, and they had a negative attitude overall.

Even worse than the people, the ape people support the emperor, after all, they really pay and work hard.

If you give more responsibility to the troops that have been well trained and support the emperor's war, you will be more likely to be in the Liang army for several months or even a year or a half, and finally turn against each other and surrender, your status will be much higher.

Anyway, it's a very wrong move.

The carriage stopped and stopped, and after dispelling a wave of young men, they finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
