The call kept lingering in Yan Xing's ears. Yan Xing woke up slowly and found that he was being driven by someone. At the same time, the pain in his chest spread throughout his body like water, and then rushed straight to his brain. He couldn't help but scream. A moan.
That's right, Yan Xing is the young knight who just successively eliminated Zhu Jun and Xu Rong, the chief and deputy generals of the Han army. His surname is Yan Mingxing, and his courtesy name is Yanming. He is only seventeen years old this year, but he is famous for his bravery in Han Sui's army. He was born in Jinchenghao. The surname Yan is like the Wuwei Zhang family in Zhangxiu and the Jincheng Qu family in Quyi. The Yan family is also from a military family in Liangzhou.
Yan Xing's father, Yan He, was originally the head of the contemporary Yan clan in Jincheng. He was one of the first batch of Jincheng wealthy families to submit to Han Sui. He had a high status and was worshiped as a general. However, in the third year of Zhongping (186 AD), Yan He followed Han Sui at night. When he attacked the Liangzhou army, he was unlucky to encounter Huang Zhong, one of Gai Jun's most powerful generals. He failed to make a sneak attack and was ambushed instead, and was suddenly killed by Huang Zhong in the midst of thousands of people.
At that time, Yan Xing was only ten years old, a carefree age. He was shocked when he heard the bad news of his father's death, and became taciturn. When he learned that his enemy was Huang Zhong, the general of the Gai Army, he was determined to avenge his father, and he has been providing logistics since then. There is no difference between winter and summer when practicing martial arts. Yan Xing was born with supernatural powers and was willing to endure hardships. After two years, he became proficient in bow and horse and was not inferior to the warriors in the army. So he joined Han Sui's army at the age of twelve. After five years, he made many military exploits and now he has reached the official position. Compared with the Sima of the Qianshi Department, he can lead one by himself.
Yan Xing slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry at first, and then gradually became clearer. He looked around, and there was no Han army around. It was clear that the navy in the formation had been completely annihilated. He said to the left and right, "Let me ask you, Mr. Zhu Jun's leader." Where is the rank?" Zhu Jun is a well-known general in the country, but he has been keeping an eye on him for a long time before looking for an opportunity to kill him. With this heavy achievement, he can be promoted to the rank of capital, school captain, or even Zhonglang general. Thinking about it this way, it is not inferior to Pang Lingming in the past.
One of the Buqu family soldiers shook the quiver in his hand and said, "Sima, don't worry, Zhu Jun's head is right here."
Yan Xing let out a soft "hmm" and felt relieved. He endured the pain and said, "Stop. Help me up."
"Sima..." Bu Qu couldn't bear it.
Yan Xing struggled with his arms, causing the wound to be involved. He grinned in pain and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense, just help me if I ask you to."
"promise."
Yan Xing stood up and put his hands to his mouth, feeling a sharp pain. Although Xu Rong's sword was extremely sharp, he was not bad at all. He was wearing two pieces of armor. The wounds were bloody and looked scary, but in fact they were just skin wounds and were harmless.
Yan Xing opened his arms, took off his clothes and armor, and then the doctor applied medicine and bandaged him. Although he was sweating profusely during the process, his complexion did not change. Obviously, injuries were a common occurrence for him and he was used to it.
Yan Xing suddenly remembered something and asked Bu Qu: "Is the enemy who fell off the horse with me dead?"
"No. But the blow from Sima cost him half his life." Buqu secretly slapped him in the face and said, "The soldiers have captured him alive. It is said that he is a silver-seal green ribbon." The green ribbon with a silver seal is a token worn with two thousand stones.
Yan Xing nodded and did not speak again. Killing Zhu Jun was second only to defeating the Han army. The latter was not the result of one person, but the former was his own. To be honest, if he captured another two thousand stones, it would be the same. It's just the icing on the cake.
Yan Xing put on his armor again, and a messenger arrived on the orders of General Han Sui, asking him to join the Chinese army.
Yan Xing nodded to show that he understood. He stepped on the stirrups and mounted his horse, which would injure his wounds. He did not dare to rush, but just marched at a constant speed. He took out Zhu Jun's head from the road, held it high, and passed it from ten to ten, and soon the whole army Thunderous cheers.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, Han Sui and Fan Chou were surrounded by dozens of Liangzhou generals, and on the outside were thousands of soldiers.
Han Sui issued orders one after another. In addition to thousands of troops from his own headquarters, the entire army launched a pursuit operation. The main force of the Han army must not be allowed to escape across the Pangshui River and strive to be completely annihilated on the west bank of the river. Many envoys paid homage and mounted their horses and galloped away. Conveying military orders. Han Sui saw Yan Xing's horse arriving from a distance. Han Sui showed a smile on his face and said: "My tiger cub is back..."
All the generals agreed, saying that Yan Yanming, a young hero, has an unlimited future.
Yan Xing didn't wait to kneel down and bow down, but Han Sui grabbed him and refused to let him bow down. He had no choice but to bow down and offer Zhu Jun's head.
Han Sui took Zhu Jun's bloody head, looked at it briefly, and handed it to someone else. Then he patted Yan Xing's shoulder and said, "Yan Ming, do you know who the person you wounded just now is?"
Yan Xing shook his head and said, "I hope the general will inform you."
Han Sui glanced at Fan Chou beside him and said: "Our "old friend" is Xu (Rong) Zisheng of Liaodong." After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified, Xu Rong followed Huangfu Song to Kansai, and later belonged to Dong Zhuo and returned. Huangfu Song had fought with the Liangzhou Army on and off for four or five years, so he could be called an old friend.
"..." Yan Xing suddenly realized. Well, the Han army's general and deputy general were cooked by him.
Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "Yan Sima defeated the two famous generals Zhu Jun and Xu Rong in one day. He is really invincible as a young man." Cheng Gong has a compound surname, given name Ying and courtesy name Zijun. He is about thirty years old and seven feet three inches tall. He has an ordinary appearance, but his bright eyes make him look special. His talent is much better than his appearance. He is a rising star in Jincheng County in recent years. He is extremely intelligent and resourceful. He is trusted by Han Sui on weekdays. No matter how big the problem, it will be inevitable. It was decided after discussing with him.
"..." Yan Xing was silent. He was not humble. In fact, he acted quite arrogantly. It was just that he was a man of few words and would save what he said.
Han Sui nodded and said: "Yan Ming, from today on, you will be famous all over the world, and your reputation will be comparable to that of Pang Lingming, the white horse."
Yan Xing's eyes turned cold. It was obvious that he was thinking of Pang De's colleague, Huang Zhong, who had an sworn hatred for killing his father.
There are five major forces in Guanzhong: the imperial court, the Liangzhou rebels, Gai Junjun, Yuan Shujun, and the Liangzhou army. No matter which side, every minute and every second is extremely precious. Han Sui ordered the cavalry to march to Head east, follow the pursuers, and deal with any fish that slip through the net.
On the way, Han Sui couldn't help complaining to Fan Chou: "Niu, the progress of the two lieutenants Dong is really too slow. It has been more than a month since Dong Gong died, and he has not yet conquered Zhengcheng, Xiaoxian County. If the word spreads, it will make people laugh." Daya, Lieutenant Fan, you have to know that the troops are currently stationed in Zuo Fengyi, and hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in Hedong... I really don’t know whether I was right or wrong in choosing to cooperate with you."
Fan Chou smiled dryly and said: "The progress on the Eastern Front is not going well, doesn't Brother Han have an opportunity?"
Han Sui glanced sideways at Fan Chou, who looked rough but was cunning inside, and said with a smile: "Captain Fan had better pray that they can hold on until Chang'an falls."
Fan Chou laughed dryly again and said: "Didn't Brother Han also say that Gai Ying has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides of the Yellow River? Who can dare to say that he will definitely stop Gai Ying? I am afraid that even Brother Han does not have this confidence..."
The Han army fled all the way to the west of the Pangshui River. Facing the Liangzhou cavalry who were determined to fight, the Han army was in a hurry and could not cross the river without surrendering. Rong was captured. Another deputy general, Li Su, did not care about the life and death of his soldiers and just tried to escape with his head buried. The Han army could not twist into a rope and tried to resist, which would only increase casualties. There were many Qiang Hu among the Liangzhou cavalry. , once the killing became red, no one could stop it. The Han army was violently attacked, with a mess of casualties, and collapsed again. This time, with no way to escape, they surrendered in batches.
At this point, the Battle of Xiliu has come to an end.
The Han army sent 23,000 troops from Chang'an, 3,000 troops from Xiliu Camp, and more than 1,000 troops from Fufeng County on the right, totaling more than 27,000 people. Among them, 6,000 were killed, 4,000 were wounded, and 16,000 were captured. , less than 2,000 people returned, including Wang Hong of Fufeng on the right, Li Su, the general of Huben, etc. In addition, Han Sui arranged for many elite soldiers to join the defeated army to fight against Chang'an.
The rebels made some repairs and crossed the river that day and went deep into Jing Zhaoyin. The army was mainly composed of two parties. One was Fan Chou's tribe with 10,000 soldiers, and the other was Han Sui's forces, with a total of 50,000 cavalry and infantry. Thirty thousand soldiers were still on the march, with about two or three days to go. However, the matter was urgent and they did not have time to wait quietly for the infantry to arrive and join them.
The tens of thousands of infantrymen on the western front were completely wiped out, and the main general Zhu Jun was killed. It was a tragedy.
However, just a few hours before the Battle of Xiliu Camp, that is, in the early morning of that day, the most brutal night offensive and defensive battle since the war began. In fact, if we push it forward three days, it can be said that it was the most brutal every day.
Because three days ago, Puban fell and Fenglingdu fell, and two days ago, Han troops were discovered in the territory of Zuofengyi and Hebei on the Weishui River. After inquiring, we learned that these Han troops did not come from the east of the river, but from the north, and there were tens of thousands of them. One day ago, the Hedong Gai army began to cross the river on a large scale, and at the same time, letters urging surrender were continuously sent to Dong Jun's camp. If they had not unexpectedly received Fan Chou's envoy, the Liangzhou generals would have been unable to withstand the pressure.
After three days and nights of fierce attack by the Liangzhou generals, the fourth day and night may be the last chance for them. In order to show their determination to advance without retreat, they even climbed on the wall in person and fought hard all night. Zheng County was declared lost. Huangfu Song His eldest son Huangfu Zuo died in the battle, and only his nephew Huangfu Li and a few others broke through the siege.
In other words, in one day, two famous generals in the Han Dynasty died on the battlefield one after another.
However, compared with the ease of killing Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song undoubtedly made his opponent pay a heavy price. Dong Jun's 100,000 troops suffered more than 40,000 casualties. More than 30 Sima was killed in the battle, and nine school captains were killed in the battle. Hedong Governor Yang Ding lost an arm on the last night. Liangzhou has always believed that the weak can eat the strong. Although Yang Ding is an adult in Liangzhou, he has senior military experience and numerous military exploits, but they are all useless. How can a cripple be qualified to lead an army? After the city was deprived of military power.
Zheng County is embedded in Chang'an and between Hongnong and Hongnong. It is the only way to pass through. In addition, Huangfu Song has stationed nearly 20,000 troops in the city. Although the Liangzhou rebels have 100,000 people, it is not advisable to divide the troops. If they stay too many, they will be unable to attack Chang'an. If they stay too few, they will be unable to attack Chang'an. There is a risk of defeat. It is even more undesirable to turn a blind eye. It must be captured. However, what the people of Liangzhou did not expect was that the price would be so high...
