Chapter 520 Defection

(Thanks to Yebaoyin, the magnificent world, the support of Fengshui 1976, thank you!)

------------------

The army of Luoyang went south and slept at Lushan Mountain in Ruzhou at night. After dozens of miles, it was about to enter the territory of Dengzhou. The summer rain came and left at will. Yesterday it was raining rainy, but today it was already shining brightly and the earth was like an oven. At night, it was hot and stuffy. Yi Feng lay on the straw mat. In less than a moment, there were already human-shaped marks of sweat on the straw mat. From time to time, there were mosquitoes buzzing, picking up the round fan, and fanning it out.

All the people came were hot winds, and they tossed and turned all night, and they were in great pain. Before dawn, Yi Feng came to the riverside outside the city, and saw that the riverside was full of people who were enjoying the cool air, and many people had been soaked in the river. Several fat and afraid of heat were even smarter. They directly found a rope, put their heads on their necks, and then sat in the river, exposing their heads to breathe on the water surface, and actually napping in the water.

In the morning, Yi Feng simply did not hold the military tent, but was held directly by the river. Yi Feng and the generals didn't care about their proper etiquette. They all wore calf shorts and sat naked in the river water, looking at the map spread on the shore. Han Sengshou, Liu Wenjing, Li Mi, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Dou Jiande and other generals sat in the water looking at the map to give their opinions, and everything was as usual. Guards and staff kept coming to report and receive the orders quietly.

Yi Feng Jing was red in her upper body, revealing her very good muscles. She held a bamboo stick in her hand and did strokes on the map.

"Yang Xiu claimed that 500,000 people came to capture Xiangyang, but the actual situation was that there were only 50,000 soldiers and infantry cavalry. The Han army had 130,000 infantry cavalry, and the remaining 200,000 were civilians and craftsmen. He also had several soldiers. In Tongguan and Pujin Pass in the east, there were about 100,000 people. However, these 100,000 people were also very humble, of which about 50,000 were the government soldiers. The rest were newly recruited, at most the combat power of ordinary Qingzhuang Township soldiers. In addition, there were about 20,000 defenders in Xiaoguan northwest of Guanzhong, and more than 30,000 soldiers were born in Hexi outside the pass. However, here, there is the Taifu Yang

Su was restrained. Although Yang Su didn't have many soldiers, Shi Wansui and Xiao Guan's troops could not be transferred. Yang Xiu also sent people to contact Zhufan and asked them to help. At present, Goguryeo was blocked by us in western Liaoning, Tiele had already submitted a position to the court, and Du Lan was still huddled in the grassland and licked his wounds. Tubo was far away and he was still in war, so only Datou, Tuyuhun and the southwest Yi were very likely to send troops. Therefore, this time we must fight quickly. If Yang Xiu opened the door and let the Huyi enter Guanlong, the people of Guanlong would have another disaster."

"We have to fight quickly. The weather is getting hotter and hotter the south. Most of our Northern Imperial Guards are from northerners. In addition, there are a large number of Turkic cavalry, and they are not tolerant of heat. Under such high temperatures, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has greatly decreased. And many people have symptoms of unacceptable conditions." Liu Wenjing said.

Yi Feng said to Liu Ying, "Last time, your secret service department successfully instigated the Jingxiang tribes and made great contributions. After the war, the court will reward you with great merits. Now, I hope you can use your skills again. Find ways to contact Yang Xiu's marshal, general, and officials from all over the country. If you can instigate them, it will greatly help us end the war early."

"For those stubborn people, if they have the chance, they can also carry out assassination operations and get rid of them. I will let the Banner Guard Special Operations Battalion, Special Logistics Battalion, and Flying Tiger Special Operations Battalion fully cooperate with your actions."

"I understand." Liu Ying replied.

On that day, Yi Feng ordered the army to lie down every day and walk at night, avoiding the high temperature of the sun during the day.

Luyang Pass.

After nightfall, there were still crowds of people. There were many bonfires at the gates and under the gates. They came to snatch the Guanzhong army from Luyang Pass, and the troops were stationed here.

Five thousand cavalrymen from Guanzhong came to grab the pass, but failed to make a surprise attack. Instead, they were wiped out by all the elite cavalry from Luoyang who came. Now Yuan Heng was ordered to command 50,000 troops to seize Luyang Pass again. Although he had 50,000 troops and the same number of civilians, which totaled 100,000, but even though he was a large number, what's the use? Not to mention the 50,000 civilians who made up the number, the 50,000 soldiers alone were actually mostly recruited young and strong. Although he also relied on Musashi in Guanzhong and was equipped with swords, guns, bows and arrows, it seemed to be a little bit, but Yuan Heng knew the real situation very well.

Either they have bows or archers, or they are warriors with spears.

Yuan Heng had to consider a problem at this time. Yang Xiu's failure was destined to be in power, and he didn't even have the opportunity to seize Guanzhong in the future. He also had to consider a retreat for himself and his family.

In front of him, a man in an ordinary guard dress was sitting leisurely in front of him drinking tea, which was not the behavior that his guard should have.

"What did General Yuan say?"

"Your Highness can really guarantee that you will not break the bridge in the future, and you can settle the situation afterwards to save my Yuan family?" Yuan Heng asked.

"Haha." The guard chuckled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has always promised you a thousand gold. Since your Highness has promised you, you will never break your promise. General Yuan said he was also a relative, both a monarch and a relative. The opportunity was rare at this time. If you missed it, you will regret it and will never be left again. If you lead your troops to take the initiative to surrender to the court, although it is impossible for you to continue to be the Minister of War, Your Highness will not treat you badly, and the general's family will also be safe. Could it be that the general wants to be buried with Yang Xiu, the traitor?"

Yuan Heng's expression relaxed a little, "If this is true, I should cooperate. However, there are people from the Changsun family in our army, who are Yang Xiu's descendants."

"Don't worry, they have their own hands to deal with it. As long as the general stands firmly on the side of the court and does your business well, it will be enough. Just leave the rest to us."

Yi Feng led the army to finally enter Luyang Pass. Qin Qiong came to coax the generals and the generals of the Luyang Passyuan defenders to greet them.

"Yuan Heng has agreed to surrender, and many generals in Guanzhong's troops have been instigated by us. Now only the generals of the Changsun family are more determined. They are still standing on Yang Xiu's side. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we have not formally contacted them." Liu Ying reported to Yi Feng.

"Does Changsun want to block the chariot with a mantis arm? Well, let's let him see what the general trend is irreversible. He sends orders and blows horns and drums. Let's take a look at the weight of Changsun before we get out of seclusion."

The Northern Imperial Army began to line up and make pre-war preparations.

In the Guanzhong army formation, Empress Yang Xiu's second brother, Duke Guan Guozhu, was proudly watching from both sides: "Yang Lin has arrived and his troops are exhausted, so he dares to come out of seclusion arrogantly. This is a way to die."

Yuan Heng said, "Deputy Commander, Yang Lin is strong and powerful, so he should not be underestimated. I think it's better to retreat for the time being."

Changsun Kuan sneered: "Masterman is scared to death, hahaha, the Masterman is going to meet Yang Lin in person."

"Beat the drum to cheer for Duke Guan Guo!" Yuan Heng shouted loudly, watching Changsun Kuan lead his troops forward, his eyes full of coldness.

When the Luoyang army came out of the pass, Changsun Kuan led the Guanzhong army to form a formation to fight, and Yuan Heng retreated and held the formation.

The trumpet sounded, and the Northern Ya Imperial Army set up a standard battle formation, with the battle army as the front formation, with the left and right light cavalry guarding the wings, and the infantry followed the formation. This tight and orderly battle formation slowly moved forward, Changsun Kuan frowned, and the formation arranged by the Luoyang army made him feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and unable to get down. Just as Changsun Kuan was thinking about whether to rush to the formation first, the rear suddenly became in chaos. I saw that Yuanheng, the rear army, who was originally in the rear formation, suddenly rushed forward. Changsun Kuan's face changed drastically, "Yuanheng, I'll do it-your mother!"

On the city of Guancheng, Yi Feng watched the battle from a high place surrounded by the generals.

"Your Highness, Yuan Heng has taken action." Liu Ying smiled and reported to Yi Feng that this was the work of their secret service department and their result.

"I'm doing it beautifully. The secret service department will first remember a great achievement. The command will be sent, and the charge will be blown, and the Changsun Kuan will be broken."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In the Luoyang army at the gates, the cavalry on both wings began to accelerate and ran forward, aiming at both sides of Changsun Kuan's troops.

Changsun Kuan was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He lifted the horse spear and was about to turn around and kill the shameless villain Yuan Heng first. At this time, a powerful crossbow suddenly shot from the side, which was in the middle of Changsun Kuan's vest. Changsun Kuan vomited blood and shook it down from the horse's back.

"Changsun Kuan is dead, Changsun Kuan is dead!"

"Defeated, defeated, run away."

"Escape!"

"Surrender is exempt from death, abandoning weapons and dying, and those who abandon weapons and sit on the ground are exempt from death!"

For a moment, various voices sounded in the formation. In front of the Luoyang army, the Yuanheng army turned against each other and counterattacked the back. Changsun Kuan's troops could not advance or retreat, and were attacked from both sides. In particular, many generals in this army had already been instigated. At this time, they shouted everywhere, and the entire army was in panic and disorder, and the command system was completely paralyzed.

The generals who were instigated to be defeated at this time, surrendered and avoided death. While taking the initiative to lead their subordinates to throw away their swords and weapons, they just sat on the ground and formed a circle, and some even hugged their heads with both hands.

The power of role models is powerful, and it can even be said that the sheep effect is obvious at this time. In the panic war, the panic-like soldiers of Guanzhong, especially a large number of new recruits, were already in vain. Seeing many people abandoning their weapons and surrendering, they also threw the swords and guns in their hands aside, sitting on the ground and holding their heads waiting for surrender. Some even lay directly on the ground, their whole bodies were trembling, and they were chanting various blessings of gods and Buddhas.

"Yang Xiu's 50,000 troops are over." Yi Feng sighed and said, the army still needs to be combined with excellent equipment, hard training, smooth command, and wise generals. If Yang Xiu is like pulling men to make up for the numbers, there is no excellent commanding officer. What's the use of such an army? It's not even enough for the Beiya Army to charge.

"It's 100,000. Your Highness forgot to count the 50,000 civilians in the camp behind. They are also part of Yang Xiu's 500,000 army." Li Mi said with a smile.

"If you pass the order, you will be spared from death if you surrender. As long as they surrender, you will accept it. Remember to treat the prisoners preferentially and do not commit more murder. From now on, they will be the people of the court again."

On the same day, Yi Feng led his army to Luyang Pass. On the same day, Sun Kuan, deputy commander of the 50,000 Guanzhong Army who came to attack Luyang Pass, led his troops to attack. Marshal Yuan Heng rebelled in front of the formation. Guanzhong army was defeated. Changsun Kuan was killed in the formation. The entire army collapsed and then surrendered one after another!
