Chapter 998 Encirclement and suppression
"Hahaha~"
A burst of hearty laughter almost lifted the ceiling of the Yunzhou Assembly Hall. Liaodong civil and military officials sitting in twos and threes all raised their heads and laughed.
Li Siye's Mo Dao Army returned to the city first. After hearing that Wan Yanbi's 20,000 cavalry army had returned without success, everyone felt confident, and followed the news of victory that came flying from the Lazi River Valley.
Arriving at Luoyun City:
The Yan army of 20,000 was completely wiped out, with more than 10,000 soldiers surrendered, and the general Hemu Dawu was captured alive!
This simple sentence contains the hard work of tens of thousands of soldiers in Luoyun City.
For this battle, all 30,000 Liao troops and 10,000 Modao troops in the city were dispatched. In addition to 3,000 elite infantry, there were not even 20,000 soldiers left in the city.
The 20,000 suppressing Liao army was used to tie down the main force of the Yan army, the 3,000 infantry were the first to launch the attack, the Modao army was used to block enemy reinforcements, and the 10,000 horsemen of Bihu were the final word, ending the battle!
The overall layout is interconnected, and there can be no problem in any one of them. It can be said that if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Fortunately, the officers and men of the Liang Army fought with their lives, and Luofu successfully attacked and won the battle!
And it is not impossible for the Yan army to make a comeback. First of all, if Wanyanbi ignores the Yishui camp and goes straight to the Lazi River Valley, then at least Hemu Dawu's tens of thousands of people can be saved.
Secondly, if Zhou Weiran were more ruthless and directly dispatched his entire army to storm Luoyun City, he might be able to succeed in a battle while the city's defenses were empty.
But unfortunately, the war is over, and everything is in vain.
"General Luo deserves the most credit in this battle."
Xin Ji, who was sitting on the right side of Chen Yue, smiled and said: "Three thousand people stormed the Baili Mountain Road and violently destroyed the camp of 20,000 people. This is the style of a good general!"
Xin Ji gave a thumbs up and praised Luofu.
Everyone nodded, this time Luofu and the three thousand people under his command had indeed made great achievements.
The joy in Chen Yue's heart was beyond words, and he said cheerfully: "You generals have also contributed a lot. General Yue, General Li, you haven't closed your eyes for a day or two. The 20,000 brothers of the Liao Army were fighting with the Yan Army outside the city.
After fighting for so long, Zhou Weiran had no time to separate."
Yue Zhanpeng and Li Siye grinned. In this battle, the casualties of the Modao Army and the 20,000 Liao Army were both around a thousand.
The casualties of the Zhenliao Army were slightly higher. After all, they struggled with the Yan Army for a day and night, which was within the acceptable range of the Liang Army.
Chenyue walked gently to the map and said: "After solving the big camp in Lazi River Valley, the only thing left is to clear out those annoying flies wandering in the defense line."
The flies in Chenyue's mouth refer to the small groups of soldiers who go around to attack the fortress.
Even though these small armies only number a few hundred people, the total number of Yan troops in the entire Yunzhou territory is 30,000. It is these tens of thousands of people who killed the defenders on the Yunjin defense line.
Not long ago, those forts that had been built so hard before were also demolished.
Yun Chen said softly:
"Tanma came to report that the Yan army outside the city has sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry into the Yunjin defense line since yesterday afternoon. A cavalry army of nearly ten thousand people appeared thirty miles away from the city, preparing for battle."
Li Siye smiled: "It seems that after Wanyanbi returned to the camp with his troops and horses, the news of the defeat also spread back. The King of Dongting began to plan to save the remaining soldiers."
"It's not that easy."
Chen Yue smiled: "Without backup or supplies, twenty or thirty thousand isolated troops are still scattered. Isn't it fat meat that reaches our mouths? We can eat it whenever we want. Since we want to eat it, don't expect us to spit out any bones."
!”
"Hahaha~"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Not only do these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses lack backup and supplies, the most important point is that they have lost unified orders and can only fight independently. This is the most terrible thing.
Chenyue held his chin and thought for a while and said: "Then send a cavalry army to confront the Yan army tit for tat. I guess they don't dare to confront us anymore. Those stragglers will be handed over to the defenders of the three towns and
Let's deal with it, Bihu. In a word, if you don't eat the fat meat that comes to your mouth, you will be a fool!"
"promise!"
…
Somewhere in the mountains in Yunzhou, hundreds of Yan troops were running wildly. Everyone had panic on their faces, and they turned their heads to look back from time to time.
They had no choice but to run. There were hundreds of cavalry chasing them behind them. In order to survive, they had no choice but to crawl into the mountains as much as possible.
They were originally just an ordinary army, numbering about three to four hundred in number. They besieged a fortress for four days and could not conquer it.
I originally planned to grit my teeth and attack for two more days and capture him, but I never thought that a Liang Army cavalry suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind last night.
The number of the Liang army's cavalry was not large, only a few hundred, but the cavalry had an absolute advantage over the infantry. In addition, the infantry in the fortress also took advantage of the situation and killed them. Under the attack from the front and rear, the Yan army was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
More than half of the troops finally escaped.
But this cavalry army chased them out, chasing and killing many people along the way.
The Yan soldiers who were running wildly could not figure out how the Liang army, which had been huddled in the fort for so long, suddenly dared to come out. The cavalry that had been used to support them in the past was nowhere to be found, and the camp in the Lazi Valley was not given to them.
Send reinforcements.
Now they were in shock and confusion, not knowing where to run or how to avoid the pursuit of this group of cavalry, so they could only run as fast as possible.
In fact, what they didn't know was that the cavalry troops who were supporting them had long been annihilated by the armies coming out of the three villages.
After running for seven or eight miles, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard at the turning point at the foot of the mountain ahead. The Yan soldiers who were fleeing felt happy, thinking that reinforcements from their own side had arrived.
But when the crossbowman's standard military uniform appeared in their sight, everyone felt despair.
Hundreds of people gradually gathered into a group, holding knives tremblingly, preparing to make the final resistance.
The leader of the crossbowmen happened to be Wu Xiake. He had left the Lazi River Valley and sent the order for the entire army to attack to all the towns. Then he led his crossbowmen around. When he encountered the Yan army, there was a chaos.
kill.
"kill!"
"Ahh~"
"Dangdangdang~"
After a while, the cries of killing in the valley gradually subsided, and there were dozens more corpses lying on the ground. The bright red blood flowing from the corpses made the valley even more eerie.
Except for those who died in the battle, the remaining Yan soldiers were trembling and lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, fearing that the Liang army would suddenly stab them in the back.
The crossbowmen did not have much communication with the pursuing Liang army. They just exchanged a few casual greetings and then continued their journey. The prisoners would be escorted by cavalry and sent to the nearby fortress.
Chapter completed!
