Although Yuan Tan was born into a noble family, he practiced martial arts diligently and developed a tall figure.
But he never expected that his heavy body could be lifted up so easily by Yan Liang.
In shock, Yuan Tan also let go of the gun in his hand, instinctively pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at Yan Liang like crazy.
Yan Liang was on guard for a long time. The sword was already hung on the side of the horse. He freed up his right hand. When he saw the sword thrust, he easily avoided it and his vise-like palm grabbed Yuan Tan's wrist.
"If you dare to use such a dishonorable method in front of me, I think you are looking for trouble."
Yan Liang yelled and cursed, then he exerted force with his tiger palm, and with a "click" sound, Yuan Tan's wrist was broken.
"Ah~~"
Yuan Tan screamed in pain, and his handsome face was distorted to the point of being inhuman shape.
Yan Liang shot him and threw him to the ground.
Yuan Tan fell to the ground and was about to get up despite the severe pain. However, Yan Liang got back on his horse and stood in front of him. He slapped him with the back of his knife. Yuan Tan, who had just gotten up, was slapped on the ground again.
on the ground.
"Yan Liang, how dare you do this to me, you thief? I will cut you into pieces, you thief..."
Yuan Tan couldn't get up, so he could only lie on the ground and cursed angrily.
Yan Liang put the knife to Yuan Tan's broken wrist and said coldly: "Don't you think it hurts? If you don't shut up, I will chop off your claw."
When Yan Liang threatened him like this, Yuan Tan did not dare to say anything even though he was angry.
The eldest son of the Yuan family, whose wrist was broken, could only vent his anger by grinning and glaring at Yan Liang hatefully.
Looking around, the battle is still going on.
Tiefutu and Gan Ning's raiding parties attacked from inside and outside, which had plunged 20,000 Yuan's troops into chaos. The infantry that followed later further destroyed Yuan's army's will to resist.
It's just that these Yuan's troops are not a mob after all. Although they are in a disadvantageous situation, many of them are still resisting tenaciously.
Yan Liang didn't want his soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices, so he dragged Yuan Tan up high and shouted loudly: "Yuan Tan has been captured alive, you still won't surrender!"
He put all his strength into this roar, and the loud voice was like muffled thunder, which actually suppressed the noise of tens of feet around him.
The surrounding Yuan troops heard the sound and came out, but when they saw their eldest son struggling in mid-air, they were all frightened.
In the eyes of thousands of eyes, Yan Liang held up Yuan Tan's broken body, his red cloak flying in the air, and he looked like a god, which made Yuan's soldiers change their expressions.
The timid ones will surrender on the spot, while the bold ones will throw away their ashes and armour, and run away in the hope of resisting at all.
The collapse came from far to near, like collapsing dominoes. After a short time, the 20,000 Yuan army collapsed.
From the beginning to the end, this surprise battle lasted for more than half an hour, and ended with the defeat of Yuan Jun.
Excluding the dead, injured and Yuan's troops who fled, there were more than 4,000 soldiers who surrendered.
"General, this battle was a blast!"
Gan Ning, who rode up to join him, felt as if he had taken a blood bath, with his whole body covered in red.
Yan Liang praised: "If we can win this battle, you should be the first to win the victory."
Gan Ning was excited to be praised by Yan Liang, but he did not dare to take credit. He cupped his hands and said, "If the general hadn't used his troops like a god, how could he have killed so heartily tonight?"
Yan Liang laughed heartily, his whole body filled with joy.
Although he defeated Yuan's army and captured Yuan Tan alive, Yan Liang was not dazzled by the victory. Although the main camp was destroyed, Wen Chou's side camp still had thousands of elite troops who could not be underestimated.
In order to prevent Wen Chou from counterattacking, Yan Liang personally led 2,000 troops to break off the army, and ordered Gan Ning to lead a large army of troops and thousands of soldiers to retreat back to Wancheng.

Yuan Jun camped in a partial camp.
The sudden fire in the direction of the main camp attracted Wen Chou's attention early on.
At first, Wen Chou thought that the fire was caused by accidental water leakage, and expected that it would be extinguished in a short time, so he was not too worried.
Only as the fire got bigger and bigger did Wen Chou gradually realize that there must be another reason for this sudden fire.
So Wen Chou hurriedly sent scouts to the main camp to find out what the cause was.
The scout's return surprised Wen Chou:
The enemy troops robbed the camp late at night and burned all the food and grass in the main camp.
Wen Chou, who was frightened, wanted to gather all the troops from the side camp to support him, but he was afraid that this was Yan Liangsheng's plan to attack the east and attack the west. Before he knew the truth, he had to order all the soldiers to wear armor and be on guard at all times.
The fire in the main camp was getting bigger and bigger, and the shouts of death could be heard for miles. Even Wen Chou, who was several miles away, could clearly hear it.
"What's going on in the main camp? Even though Brother Yan is so brave, how can he easily break through the camp wall?"
Wen Chou watched the main camp fire from a distance, full of doubts in his heart.
Just when I was puzzled, several men and horses came in a hurry from the main camp direction, and the leader was Guo Tu.
The arrival of Guo Tu made Wen Chou realize the seriousness of the situation. He hurriedly turned his horse to meet Guo Tu, but he bumped into Guo Tu on the way.
"General Wen, the main camp has been lost. Why don't you quickly mobilize your troops and go to the rescue?" Guo Tu, who hurried over, gasped and shouted.
Wen Chou frowned and said in shock: "The camp is heavy with antlers, and the number of soldiers and horses is several times that of the enemy. How did the enemy defeat it so easily?"
"I don't know what Yan Liangzhi's plot is. Now Yan Liang's cavalry has rushed into the camp. If you don't send troops to rescue, if the eldest son makes a mistake, can you bear the blame?"
Guo Tu, who was sweating profusely, shouted harshly and openly threatened Wen Chou.
Wen Chou heard the harsh words, and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes. However, thinking that Yuan Tan was in danger, he didn't care about arguing with Guo Tu. He hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, left the camp and ran towards the main camp.
Along the way, more and more defeated soldiers fled, but the shouts of killing from the main camp direction gradually became weaker.
When Wen Chou approached the main camp, the east was already white and the sky was getting brighter.
The fire was still burning in the direction of the camp, but there was no sound of killing.
The battle seems to be over.
Directly ahead, Yan Liang's army was waiting in formation, blocking the way of Wen Chou's army.
Seeing this formation, Wen Chou's army knew that the camp was lost. Seeing that Yan Liang had already known that he would come to support him, he was afraid that he would fall into Yan Liang's plan again, so he had to order his horses to be reined in, not daring to take another half step forward.
"General Wen, the main camp is in front, why did you stop your troops and horses?" Guo Tu came running from behind and asked.
Wen Chou pointed to the military formation in front and said in a deep voice: "The main camp has been lost and the enemy has been prepared for a long time. How can we fight again at this time?"
Guo Tu was also so anxious that he fainted. At this time, he calmed down a little and observed the situation of the main camp, and then suddenly woke up.
Guo Tu's face was filled with surprise and doubt. He couldn't figure out how his 20,000 troops were destroyed by Yan Liang overnight. And now he didn't know whether Yuan Tan was alive or dead. Guo Tu was even more anxious.
.
At this moment, a horse came galloping towards him. The man did not carry any weapons and was obviously an envoy.
The horse stopped ten steps away.
"I am General Yan's tent in Zhoucang. I have been ordered by General Yan to deliver this item to General Wen."
After saying that, Zhou Cang used force and threw the object in his hand.
The object fell in front of the formation, and the soldiers picked it up and showed it to Wen Chou.
When Wen Chou and Guo Tu saw that thing, their expressions changed greatly.
That golden thing is Yuan Tan's helmet.
"Could it be that the eldest son has died in the battle?" Wen Chou couldn't help but asked in surprise.
As he spoke, Zhou Cang raised his voice and shouted: "My general has captured Yuan Tan alive. The general said that he cares about brotherhood and does not want to fight you, General Wen. If General Wen doesn't want Yuan Tan's head to fall on the ground,
Please withdraw your troops immediately and don’t attack Wancheng again."
After saying this, Zhou Cang said nothing more, turned around and rode away.
In a moment, Zhou Cang rushed back to the main formation.
At this time, Yan Liang was holding a big sword in his arms and standing on his horse leisurely, not paying attention to the enemy troops on the opposite side.
Seeing Zhou Cang's return, Yan Liang said: "Zifeng, can you give your helmet to the enemy?"
"The helmets have been thrown to the other party, and I also shouted to them what the general told them." Zhou Cang said harshly.
"Did you say 'care about brotherhood'?" Yan Liang was a little worried.
Zhou Cang said: "How can I forget what the general told me? The general even made that sentence louder."
Hearing this, Yan Liang nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a faint smile flashed across his eyes.
"Ziqin, in order for you to become my brother's right-hand man as soon as possible, I have no choice but to resort to this unkind plan to alienate you. I hope you won't blame my brother."
