The first thousand and fifty-fifth chapters route the army south
Chapter 1,055 The army breaks down and goes south
Tian Feng's suggestion was that instead of being unable to withstand the enemy's attack, it is better to give up temporarily and give him a cage, and finally crush the place to pieces and trap the enemy to death in Linhe City.
"It's not impossible, then just do as you say."
After hearing Tian Feng's answer, Yuan Shu's frown was lifted again. He gave them a cage to let their will to fight to the death subside. When his army arrived, everything was doomed.
"promise."
Tian Feng cupped his fists towards Yuan Shu.
Soon, several fast horses galloped out, riding on the stars above their heads, towards Linhe City.
"Lord, the battlefield has been cleared. More than 30,000 enemies have been wiped out, nearly 30,000 have been captured, and more than 10,000 of our troops have been killed."
Zhang He and Zang Ba rode back to Yuan Shu and reported to him the outcome of the battle.
"Well, how's it going in the Bucheon direction?"
The battlefield has been cleaned and the battlefield results have been given. Now it depends on whether the army will rush to Fuchuan to rest immediately or return to the camp to rest.
"I have sent Yuan Zhe to lead 10,000 troops to Fuchuan. Now that the enemy's army is out, I believe it will not be a problem to capture Fuchuan."
Zhang He naturally understood what Yuan Shu meant, so he gave a corresponding answer.
"Then there's nothing more to say. The whole army will go to Fuchuan to rest."
Zhang He has never been a big talker. Since he said that there is no problem in taking Fuchuan, it means that he can go there directly to rest.
"promise."
Following Yuan Shu's order, except for the 20,000 militiamen who stayed behind to guard the camp, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops rushed directly to Fuchuan City.
Yuan Zhe led his people to the outside of Fuchuan City, took a look at the city in front of him, and rode forward directly to the edge of the moat.
"People in the city, listen, your 100,000-strong army has been wiped out. If you haven't opened the city gate yet, are you going to wait until the army arrives and leave no grass behind?"
Yuan Zhe roared loudly at the city wall, his voice seemed particularly loud in the silent night, but what Yuan Zhe responded to was a burst of silence.
"Okay, since you want to bury the soldiers and warriors with them, don't blame me. When the city is broken, all the defenders in the city will be killed and the city will be attacked."
Since the enemy did not respond, Yuan Zhe did not tolerate them. With a fierce look in his eyes, he directly ordered his troops to attack the city.
"General, wait a minute. If we surrender, can we ensure the safety of the people in the city?"
Just when Yuan Zhe ordered to attack the city, a head appeared on the wall and spoke to him.
"Who are you?"
By the light of the fire, Yuan Zhe also saw the man's clothes. He had no helmet or armor, and looked exactly like a civil servant, which made him suspicious.
"I am Xianyu, the magistrate of Fuchuan County. I hope the general can answer my questions."
Xianyu looked at the blood-covered enemies outside the city. The ferocious aura made him feel suffocated even though they were so far away.
It was hard to imagine how he could block the enemy's attack if such an enemy came to attack. He could also imagine how much damage such a beast-like force would cause to the city of Fuchuan if it really entered the city.
"Don't worry, the Jizhou Army has always been famous for its military discipline. As long as you lead Fuchuan City to surrender, I can guarantee you that the people in the city will not commit any crimes."
Hearing Xian Yu's worries, Yuan Zhe smiled slightly and directly agreed to his conditions.
"Okay, I hope the general can keep his word and open the city gate."
After looking at Yuan Shujun outside the city, Xianyu knew that he was satisfied that he could meet such conditions, so without hesitation, he directly ordered the city gate to be opened.
"The county magistrate has an order to open the city gate."
As the county magistrate's order was issued, the suspension bridge slowly dropped to the moat, and then the heavy city gate slowly opened.
After the city gate was opened, Xianyu took the government servants affiliated to the county government directly to the outside of the city.
"Xianyu, the magistrate of Fuchuan County, meets the general."
Xianyu knelt down on one knee and surrendered to Xianyu together with everyone behind him.
"Okay, don't worry about what I said. You are very good. Kaicheng's surrender not only saved yourself but also the people in the city. I will repay your merits to you."
Yuan Zhe nodded to Xianyu on his horse, indicating that he had not only saved himself, but also saved countless people in Fuchuan City.
"As long as the general doesn't break his promise, Xianyu will be satisfied. This is what I should do."
Xianyu shook his head. He didn't care about credit or anything else. As long as he could ensure the safety of the people in the city, he would be satisfied.
"Okay, Zhang Ping, you lead two thousand people to guard the city gate, and the rest will follow me into the city and go directly to the military camp."
Yuan Zhe had nothing to say, so he just took pictures of two thousand people guarding the city gate and took them to the military camp.
"General, there is no need to go to the military camp. There are no defenders in the city now. When the army was exhausted, Shi Yi led the remaining troops to leave Fuchuan and headed south."
Hearing that Yuan Zhe was going to send people to the military camp, Xianyu directly told the situation in the city.
"gone?
Report this news to the Lord immediately."
Hearing that Shi Yi had led his men south, Yuan Zhe was also stunned. He did not expect that the enemy would be so decisive. He took the lead in leading his men south as early as when all the troops were out. It was really impressive.
"promise."
As soon as Yuan Zhe gave the order, someone immediately clasped their fists and then galloped towards the rear.
"Let's go into town."
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and all Yuan Zhe can do now is to advance into the city and wait for Yuan Shu's arrival.
The person who sent the message ran as fast as possible, but immediately encountered Yuan Shu's large army rushing towards Fuchuan.
"My Lord, Lieutenant Yuan Zhe has occupied Fuchuan City, and has also received a message. Shi Yi led the remaining defenders in the city south long before the war started, and asked the Lord to make a decision."
The messenger soldier quickly reported the news obtained by Yuan Zhe to Yuan Shu.
"This Shiyi is a sensible person. It seems that your worries just now have become a reality."
After hearing the message brought back by Yuan Zhe, Yuan Shu once again looked at Tian Feng beside him.
"Well, the enemy must have thought of corresponding countermeasures before the war started, and they haven't given up the fight yet."
Tian Feng nodded. From now on, it seems that the people of Jiaozhou are still very resilient in battle.
"Well, let's go to the city first."
Yuan Shu had nothing to say and directly ordered the entire army to enter the city.
The army's entry into Fuchuan also marked the complete end of the Battle of Fuchuan, and the final result was beyond Lu Bu and Shiwu's expectations. Except for the more than 20,000 soldiers brought by Shiwu, the rest of the army was completely wiped out.
The soldiers and soldiers fled south in a hurry, and soon another news came from the front.
"General, we found a troop of troops in front of us, probably more than two thousand in number."
Hearing the news, Shiwu felt like he was going to explode. How could he break through the encirclement? How could there be enemies in front of him?
"Instruct the whole army to prepare for war and prepare to charge."
Things had reached this level, and the soldiers could not give in. They directly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. At the same time, they took the lead and rushed to the front line of the team.
He knew that his troops were on the verge of collapse, so he had to show his fearlessness. If he cowered inside the team now, the soldiers might really collapse.
"Sir, we found a large number of soldiers and horses heading south. Sir Shiwu must have failed."
This troop was none other than Shi Yi, who led the remaining Fuchuan troops southward after the war began.
"Show the flag."
Hearing the military situation reported by the soldiers, Shi Yi was not surprised at all. The reason why he led his people south early in the morning was actually to prepare for failure. Now, as he thought, he was still defeated.
Amidst the lights, a huge battle flag with the word "taxi" fluttered in the air, which was particularly conspicuous under the dark night.
"General, this is the battle flag of the Shi family, and this is Master Shi Yi."
The sharp-eyed people immediately saw Shi Yi’s raised flag and immediately excitedly reported to Shi Wu.
"Well, since it's the second brother, it doesn't matter. The whole army speeds up to join the second brother."
At this time, Shiwu also saw the banner of the Shijia family flying in front. Shiwu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to go forward for a round. He also rushed over first.
"Second brother, we are defeated."
Shiwu came to the carriage where Shiyi was and reported directly to him the situation on the battlefield.
"This battle is no one's fault. It doesn't matter if we lose. Jiaozhou is still in our hands. As long as we capture Linhe, we still have hope. How many soldiers and horses will break out with you this time?
Where is Marquis Wen?"
Shi Yi had nothing to say. This battle was not Shi Wu's fault. Compared with Yuan Shu, they were slightly inferior in terms of numbers and quality. His main concern now was how many soldiers and horses Shi Wu brought back.
"More than 20,000 soldiers and horses followed me to break out of the encirclement. If Marquis Wen is right, he should also break out of the encirclement."
The warrior knew about his own troops and horses, but he had no idea about Lu Bu's situation and could only rely on guessing.
"Okay, there are almost 20,000 people. Has Yuan Shu sent troops to chase them?"
Hearing that Shiwu had led more than 20,000 people to break out of the encirclement, Shiyi was actually a little depressed. He estimated that even if nothing happened, he would still have to bring out 40,000 troops.
But now he has nothing to say. Blaming has no effect anymore. It is better to comfort him and ask about more important situations.
"Yuan Shu did not send anyone to chase him."
Shiwu glanced behind him. He had been sending people to pay attention to the situation behind him when he was evacuating, but strangely, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses did not send anyone to chase them.
"Well, that proves that we are still safe for the time being. Don't wait for Marquis Wen. He has the Red Rabbit Divine Horse, which can walk through mountains and rivers as if there is no one in the world. In addition, his martial arts is the best in the world. As long as he wants to leave, there will be no one."
If you can stay, go south to congratulate me."
When he heard that Yuan Shu didn't send anyone to chase him, Shi Yi was also stunned, but no matter what the reason was, they were safe for the time being. As for Lu Bu, if he couldn't escape, then his fate would be like this, otherwise the world would be in trouble.
There is no place he cannot go with just one man and one horse.
