Chapter 294: Go to the battlefield and enter the bedroom
The iron cavalry rushed down the hillside in a wedge-shaped impact formation, crashing into it with the force of the earth shattering.
Sui Yuanjin was stunned for a moment. He was secretly rejoicing just now, but in the blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that he had also fallen into a trap.
Also being raided, Sui Yuanjin faced a more desperate situation than Jiang Qi.
Although Jiang Qi was copied by Lu Lingqi, he still had time to form a formation in a hurry and fight to the death.
However, Sui Yuanjin was intercepted halfway by Ma Yunlu. His thousands of troops moved forward in a long snake formation. With such a scattered formation, how could they form a formation to face the enemy.
Sui Yuanjin and his thousands of Yuan troops suddenly lost their fighting spirit.
The only way to resist is to die. If you desperately escape from Kunyang City, there may be a way to survive.
This thought flashed through the mind of the experienced Sui Yuanjin for the first time, and then, without caring about his subordinates, he turned his horse and fled towards the east gate of Kunyang as fast as he could.
The long snake formation behind them also collapsed. Thousands of Yuan's troops abandoned their armor and fled like frightened ants.
In a moment, the huge wedge-shaped formation came fiercely.
That huge black sword that moved the world, cut Yuan Jun in two from the center. Wherever it passed, the iron hoofs ruthlessly crushed the fragile flesh and blood body.
Screams came one after another, and blood spurted out. In the blink of an eye, the center of the avenue was dyed into a bloody swamp.
After breaking through the enemy's formation, Ma Yunlu quickly divided the cavalry into two teams, one heading east and one heading west, and continued to pursue the defeated Yuan army.
"Sure enough, he can go to the battlefield and get into the bedroom..."
On the hillside, Yan Liang, who was stationed on horseback to watch the battle, couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw Ma Yunlu's majesty and killing spree.
But at the bottom of the hillside, she was obviously not satisfied with simple killing. She turned her horse's head and ran like the wind. She chased in the direction of Kunyang.
Ma Yunlu, who was full of murderous intent, had no intention of letting a Yuan Jun survive.
Relying on the advantage of the cavalry, Ma Yunlu led more than a thousand light cavalry, and soon they caught up to the front and rolled up diagonally inward, blocking the path of Sui Yuanjin and his group.
When the Ma family's marksmanship general arrived, he saw the sky was filled with light rain like pear blossoms. Everywhere the star's light spot passed, there was a trace of blood flying into the air.
Sui Yuanjin, who was in the rebel army, saw his subordinates being slaughtered wantonly by a female, and his angry ambition was immediately angered.
"I, Sui Yuanjin, am a general of the Yuan family, how can I be humiliated by a woman like you!"
In anger, Sui Yuanjin slapped his horse, danced with his spear, and roared away towards Ma Yunlu.
"Thief bitch, don't be so arrogant, just accept your fate——"
Amidst the loud shouts, Sui Yuanjin became angry and fierce, and a long sword in his hand shot out like lightning.
Ma Yunlu was enjoying his killing spree. He didn't expect that someone in Yuan's army would dare to challenge him.
The hero's arrogance was aroused. Ma Yunlu suddenly turned around, charging forward with a billowing force of silver spear in his hand.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, three moves passed by.
Sui Yuanjin, who was originally full of anger and power, was forced to panic due to these three moves, full of flaws, and the look of fear could not be suppressed.
"This woman's marksmanship is so good——"
At the moment of horror, Ma Yunlu's fourth shot was fired.
Whether it's strength, technique, or power, it's a wonderful move in marksmanship.
Sui Yuanjin was only a third-rate general, so how could he stop Ma Yun's killing move?
Amidst the screams, Sui Wujin's shoulder was pierced by the spear point. Ma Yunlu, who had passed by on the wrong horse, suddenly drew his gun, and another shot was reflected.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the extremely sharp spear tip, like lightning and flint, easily pierced Sui Yuanjin's armor and passed through the chest without leaning to any side.
The gun tip was pulled out again, and large streams of steaming blood surged out from the large blood hole.
"Even with such ability, you can call me into battle with my aunt. You don't overestimate your own abilities."
Ma Yunlu snorted coldly and rode past. The bloody spear tip struck the surviving Yuan Jun again.
Sui Yuanjin, who was on the horse, had his eyes wide open, his body swayed, and he immediately fell to the horse.
Yan Liang, who was on the hillside, quietly watched this wonderful cavalry raid.
Ma Yunlu could not have been a Xiliang cavalry general. He had mastered the skills of cavalry and used the cavalry's mobility to its peak. After several rounds of encirclement and killing, he actually killed thousands of Yuan's troops.
When the sun passed noon, all the fighting finally ended.
On Huang Zhong and Lu Lingqi's side, the 5,000 Yuan troops who came from Xudu were almost surrounded and killed, while on Ma Yunlu's side, only a hundred Yuan troops were lucky enough to escape back to Kunyang.
After two raids, Yuan's army suffered nearly seven thousand casualties, and two of Yuan Tan's generals, Jiang Qi and Sui Yuanjin, were beheaded.
At dusk, after cleaning the battlefield, Yan Liang led his fifteen thousand infantry and cavalry and advanced towards Kunyang City in a mighty manner.
Yan Liang did not order an attack on the city, but instead piled thousands of Yuan Jun's corpses on a hill in the city and placed them in front of the east gate of Kunyang like a demonstration.
At this time, there were only a thousand defenders in Kunyang City, and they lost their leader Sui Yuanjin. In fact, they were in a panic situation without a leader.
If Yan Liang continued to pile up this horrifying mountain of corpses in front of the city without using troops, the fighting spirit of the remaining defenders would collapse.
Half an hour later, the city gates opened wide, and a thousand Yuan troops abandoned their weapons and came out of the city in panic to surrender.
Yan Liang then surrendered a thousand men and sent them to the rear overnight to rectify the area, and occupied Kunyang City that day.
Two days later, Wen Chou and others pretended to attack Luoyang's army, and then rushed to Kunyang. Yan Liang took advantage of the residual power of the victory and led an army of more than 40,000 people to rush towards Xudu in a mighty manner.

Xu Ducheng.
Jiang Qi was defeated and killed, and news of Kunyang's fall quickly spread throughout the city.
The soldiers and civilians in the city soon fell into an unprecedented panic. The panic was even stronger than the last time Yan Liang made a surprise attack.
Last time, Yan Liang only led a few thousand light cavalry. Now, Yan Liang led an army of more than 40,000 people and rushed towards them. Only five infantry troops were left in the city.
The offensive and defensive momentum remains the same, but the number of enemies has increased tenfold. How can such a powerful force not frighten the hearts of many people?
At noon, Yan Liang's army arrived in Xudu and began to surround the city of Xudu.
Yan Liang did not immediately launch an offensive, but took the lead in launching a massive psychological war.
During the Battle of Kunyang, the corpses of the seven or eight thousand Yuan troops who were beheaded were put to use again. Yan Liang ordered the heads to be cut off from the corpses, and all of them were shot into Xudu City with thunderbolt chariots.
Thousands of bloody heads with ferocious expressions fell from the sky. It was such a terrifying scene.
Not only the unarmed civilians, but also the garrison soldiers who had experienced the test of war, were all frightened.
Shooting into people's heads was not enough, so Yan Liang then shot more than 10,000 copies of "A Letter to the People of Xudu and the People" into the city.
That naked threatening letter.
In his book, Yan Liang warned the people of Xudu not to act as helpers and continue to support Yuan's army. Otherwise, when the city was destroyed, he would raze the city of Xudu to the ground and leave no one alive.
Xudu City is a prosperous place, so Yan Liang certainly would not really intend to massacre the city with blood. What he did was simply to isolate Xin Ping and his five thousand defenders, leaving them in an isolated and helpless situation.
Yan Liang's psychological warfare quickly bore fruit.
Within a few days, people in Xu Ducheng were frightened, every family wanted to change, and the powerful people in the city were even more ready to take action. They secretly contacted and planned to seize the door with arms and surrender to Yan Liang in exchange for their lives.
On top of the city.
Xin Ping looked far away at the massive Yan Jun camp outside the city, with a complicated look on his brows.
It's the emotion of resentment and fear.
Xin Ping hated Yan Liang for his cunning, and hated himself for once again falling into the trap of this traitorous general of the Yuan family. He had ruined the lives of General Jiang Qi and more than ten thousand elite soldiers. It was fatal that Xu Capital City was facing such a predicament.
He was even more afraid, afraid of Yan Liang's huge military force, and he was afraid that when the city was destroyed, he would die without a burial place.
"We can't wait any longer. We must ask the king for help immediately. Immediately..."
Xin Ping, who was flashing with fear and no longer confident, finally decided to ask Yuan Tan for help.
######
South of Yecheng.
Yuan Tan, who was sitting high on his horse, was so energetic and proud, as if the world would soon be his.
He held his head high and stared coldly at his soldiers, who were densely packed like a tide, launching another round of fierce attacks towards Yecheng and towards his younger brother.
Since he captured Liyang and crossed the Yellow River north, it is not an exaggeration to describe Yuan Tan as invincible.
The eldest son of the Yuan family, who proclaimed himself the king of Wei, led the elite troops of the Central Plains and drove all the way north, descending to several cities in Dangyin and Anyang. He overwhelmingly broke through several lines of defense south of Yuan Shang and reached Yecheng.
Afraid of Yuan Tan's consecutive victories, several counties in Yangping and Ping dynasties under Jizhou announced a change of banner, deserting Yuan Shang and surrendering to themselves.
On the eastern front, Yuan Tan's allies also won consecutive battles. After capturing Qingzhou, the army crossed the Yellow River north and directed their troops directly to Pingyuan County, a strategic location in Jizhou.
Once Liu Bei breaks through the plain defense line, his army can penetrate directly to the north of Yecheng and form a north-south pincer attack with Yuan Tan against Yuan Shang.
From Yuan Tan's point of view, it is only a matter of time before his hateful brother is destroyed.
In Yuan Tan's mind, he was already imagining himself sitting on the throne of Yecheng, indifferently enjoying the surrender of his younger brother, enjoying the majestic power of being the only king of the Wei Dynasty and dominating the world.
"Only one step away, I can take back everything that belongs to me. The country of Wei and the whole world will soon belong to me. Yuan Shang, Yan Liang, you little ones will soon crawl at my feet, begging for my help.
Forgive, haha~~"
The more Yuan Tan thought about it, the more excited he became, and a proud sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a rider came from Juechen. He dismounted from his saddle and hurriedly climbed up to the front. It was Xun Chen.
"Your Majesty, Xin Ping has urgently reported that Jiang Qi and Sui Yuanjin were killed by Yan Liang, Kunyang fell, and Xu Jun is in danger!"
Xun Chen trembled and reported the bad news.
"What!?"
Yuan Tan screamed in surprise, and his originally proud face turned pale in an instant.
