Chapter 26 One for One(1/2)
"Li Meng is dead! You Xiliang rebels will be captured if you don't show mercy!" Sun Jian shouted.
At the same time, Cheng Pu stepped forward and used the fork of the snake spear to pick up Li Meng's head and show it to the public.
When the Xiliang cavalry saw this, they immediately lost all fighting spirit.
"The general is dead, we will retreat!" Li Meng's deputy general Hu Zong took over the command and ordered the retreat.
The originally fierce battle suddenly changed its tone, and the Xiliang army began to retreat in batches.
However, due to the isolation of the battlefield, the Xiliang army who entered the infantry phalanx did not know that their leader Li Meng was dead, but they still fought bravely against the enemy. Moreover, because of the advantage of the battle, their morale was even higher, and the killing of Sun Jian's infantry was painful.
The branch of suffering.
Sun Jian was about to pursue him, but was stopped by Huang Gai.
"Master Fu, the Xiliang cavalry is brave and the infantry is difficult to resist. We should support you quickly!" Huang Gai said.
Sun Jian agreed, gave up chasing Hu Zong, and killed him instead.
The Xiliang soldiers were fighting fiercely when they suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from behind. They turned around and saw Sun Jian leading the cavalry back to fight.
The cavalry couldn't help but wonder.
Why did Sun Jian come back?
Where is General Lee?
Then they heard the cry.
"Li Meng is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
When the Xiliang soldiers heard this, they thought Li Meng was dead? How is this possible?
In particular, the cavalrymen of the various ministries were even more disbelieving. General Li Meng led them to defeat Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao and other armies.
"Stop talking nonsense! Kill me!" shouted one of the cavalrymen.
Sun Jian was surprised. This Xiliang soldier was really bloody. It was clear that the general was dead, but he chose not to believe it, and instead burst out with stronger fighting power.
However, even so, Sun Jian's cavalry returned, and the Xiliang soldiers were already in a pincer attack. In addition, Sun Jian was extremely brave and took the lead.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao entered the formation one after another, with almost no opponents. Soon, the Xiliang army discovered that what they had just shouted might be true!
Because there are no reinforcements in the rear, this means that the rear troops have withdrawn and Li Meng is really defeated!
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, everyone's minds will be full of doubts, and even the movements of their hands will slow down.
Seeing that the situation was decided, Sun Jian shouted: "Zu Mao! Is there any news about Xu Rong?"
Zu Mao slashed with both swords and beheaded one person. He took the time to reply: "I don't know!"
Sun Jian always felt that when Li Meng arrived, maybe Xu Rong would also be there. Although Li Meng killed Li Meng in this battle, his gains were limited, and his infantry was smashed to pieces by Li Meng's cavalry, with few casualties.
It’s no longer rare. This time, it can only be called a small victory.
"Fight quickly and decide quickly!" Sun Jian ordered.
If Xu Rong breaks out at this time, our side will be in such a chaotic situation that it will inevitably end in defeat.
In the last battle, they could have assisted Bao Xin's army, but they were suddenly killed by Xu Rong, and they ended up defeated.
Under the attack of infantry and cavalry, all the remaining Xiliang soldiers were wiped out. Looking at the official road littered with corpses, Sun Jian was once again shocked by the bravery and ferocity of the Xiliang army. In a short period of fighting, nearly a thousand of his own infantry were killed.
And the total number of Xiliang troops killed by Sun Jian in this battle was less than a thousand.
"Zu Mao! Send someone to send a message to Zhang Miao about the fighting situation here and tell him——"
"Xu Rong is here!"
…
People from Yang gathered outside the city in Guangcheng, more than ten miles away.
The current state of this place is not much better than that of Yangrenju.
Corpses littered the fields, and streams of blood flowed.
Xu Rong was wearing a brown battle robe, standing on horseback with his sword drawn horizontally, looking at the devastated battlefield as if he was waiting for something.
"General, Zhang Miao has fled back to Liang County." A subordinate reported.
"Where is Li Meng? Is there no news yet?" Xu Rong asked.
The subordinate shook his head, obviously not.
"I encountered a battle with Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao was defeated. If I hadn't joined forces with Li Meng, I would have gone directly to Liang County!" Xu Rong punched his sword into the ground, got off his horse, and looked to the east.
If Zhang Miao is here, where will Sun Jian be?
Xu Rong had fought against these two men, so he naturally knew that Sun was stronger. Therefore, if the troops were to be gathered from Guangcheng, there was no reason to let Zhang Miao go in front.
Is it a matter of dividing the troops?
Then will Sun Jian take another path and encounter Li Meng?
"Report——"
Xu Rong's eyes lit up, the news finally arrived.
"Yang Ren Battle Report, General Li Meng and Yang Ren met Sun Jian's army outside. The two armies fought fiercely. General Li Meng unfortunately died in the battle, and deputy general Hu Zong led his army to retreat."
Xu Rong was stunned. Li Meng died in the battle?
It is indeed Sun Jian!
"Do you know Sun Jianjun's next steps?" Xu Rong asked.
"I don't know."
Xu Rong cursed secretly in his heart, this is the reason why Hu Zong cannot be the leader. When he is frustrated, he just runs for his life.
There were only two roads in front of Sun Jian, one was to continue marching and attack Xincheng, and the other was to retreat to Liang County.
After killing Li Meng, Sun Jian should be very satisfied at this time, so he is more likely to continue to advance.
"Send an order for the army to march towards Liang County! In addition, send an order to Hu Zong, telling him to lead the cavalry to hold Sun Jian back. If he can't defeat him, then run away. Don't die!" Xu Rong said.
The army that was resting on the spot stood up one after another from the blood-stained ground and the mountains of corpses to the sea of blood, and began to march.
Zhang Miao was panting and didn't know how far he had run, but Xu Rongjun didn't seem to be pursuing him. Although he was riding a horse, Zhang Miao felt that he had run back after such a long journey, and his heartbeat still kept beating.
"Gongtai, Xu Rong's combat power is too terrifying. This is not your fault or mine, but the gap between the soldiers is too large. The Xiliang cavalry is well-deserved!" Zhang Miao said.
Chen Gong's expression on the side was not very good. This encounter was too unexpected. It was like a death. As Zhang Miao said, the Xiliang army was too powerful, and the number of Xu Rong's army exceeded
When he rushed over, these new soldiers recruited by Chen Liu were almost defeated in a one-sided defeat.
"Alas, what can the master of tiger and wolf do?" Chen Gong sighed.
Zhang Miao looked behind him and saw that there were only seven or eight hundred soldiers who had escaped, and most of them escaped to heaven with the help of horses.
The two battalions had 4,000 men, and less than 1,000 were left in the first battle. It can be described as a disastrous defeat.
"Gongtai, what should we do next?" Zhang Miao asked.
"Xu Rong came so violently, it must be for Liang County. Even if we add Grand Administrator Li's troops, our army is far from enough. We should quickly call Grand Administrator Sun back to defend Zhucheng, so that we and Liang County are at odds with each other. Otherwise, Liang County
Being unable to support a single tree means that my two-pronged attack on Dong Jun has completely failed!" Chen Gong said.
"Then send someone quickly to notify General Sun to come back!" Zhang Miao said urgently.
"I don't know if Grand Administrator Sun has also encountered enemy troops." Chen Gong couldn't help but guess, so what if there was or not. Anyway, Zhang Miao was completely defeated. "Master Fu, it's up to you to decide what happens next.
If our army has no soldiers, it will not be able to obtain corresponding military exploits."
Xingyang was defeated, losing troops and generals, but Guangcheng Ju fought a battle and almost wiped out the entire army.
Now Zhang Miao, strictly speaking, can return to Chenliu.
Chen Gong's words made Zhang Miao, who had just been relaxing in order to escape, become depressed again.
Yes, what does it matter whether Liang County can be defended or not? My journey to challenge Dong has come to an end.
For some reason, Zhang Miao suddenly thought of the area outside Hulao Pass. He also wondered whether those other military towns had made any achievements.
…
"Come on, come on! Drink this glass!"
"Thank you very much Mr. Liu!"
"Liu Shijun is not only powerful in leading his troops, but also in drinking wine!"
"Hahaha!"
Gathering in the military tent, they drank and drank together, Liu Dai took the lead and led the army leaders and generals to drink together to strengthen the army's power!
Yuan Yi looked at the wine glass in front of him, and for some reason, he couldn't say anything.
On the other hand, the other soldiers were obviously very interested. Liu Dai led the troops with great force?
Yuan Yi sneered, Liu Dai's soldiers were all powerful soldiers gathered from various counties in Yanzhou. It was indeed possible to fight against the Yellow Turbans on weekdays, but against the Xiliang army, although Yuan Yi did not fight in person, he at least had seen Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.
Military appearance.
