Liu Ling led his army to pursue them for more than 50 miles. The hundreds of thousands of Yan troops gathered in Zhuma County were instantly wiped out. Emperor Ouyang Zhuan of Yan Dynasty fled back to Quzhou with less than 3,000 remaining soldiers, and was eaten on the way. The ambitious Taihang Mountain bandit Shi Fudang led more than 600 people to chase him from behind for a while, but Ouyang Zhuan did not dare to lead his army to turn around and eat these bandits!
Under the pretext of avenging Fengning County Magistrate Shen Fuwei, Shi Fuwei pursued and killed Yan's army unscrupulously. Five to six hundred bandits with messy weapons screamed and showed off their power, but Liu Ling killed Yan's courage. Jun didn't even dare to resist. He just ran away with his tail between his legs, allowing Shi Dong to actually slaughter the fat sheep.
After continuous beatings and threats, Shi Fudang got a huge advantage from behind the Yan army. Not only did he steal 17 or 18 war horses, but he also robbed a lot of good things. The three thousand people who followed Ouyang Zhuan were defeated. They are the most elite soldiers of the Yan Army. If they were not of good quality, they would not have been able to reach this point, right? And among these three thousand people, there are six to seven hundred veterans of the former food protection army. The weapons in their hands are real big men. A standard horizontal sword. Not only did he rob things, Shi Dongfu also robbed people. At least 3,780 people were stopped by him and joined the Taihang Bandits under coercion and inducement.
From more than 600 people to over 1,000 years old, the strength of the Taihang bandits has increased dramatically. After the surrender, the Yan army felt that they were rebelling anyway, and working with Ouyang Zhuan was not necessarily longer than working with Shi Dongbu. On the Taihang Mountains The terrain was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Han army would not go back to suppress the bandits unless they were well fed. But Ouyang Zhuan was different. He raised the flag of a rebellion with many people and targets, and it was impossible not to be severely beaten.
What makes people speechless is that Shi Fuwei actually took up the banner of avenging Shen Fuwei. The county magistrate under the rule of the Han Dynasty was killed by the rebels, and a group of bandits came out to avenge him. Is this unprecedented and unprecedented? It is estimated that Shen Fuwei would have smiled three times if he was alive. After all, at that time, he often led his guards to capture the Taihang bandits who had escaped alone. Shi Dongbang's calculation was shrewd and he made his position clear. If you don’t believe it, Liu Ling thought afterwards that he couldn’t be lenient with him because of this affection. Even if he fell into the hands of the Han army in the future, with this matter as a bargaining chip, he could still recruit him, right?
With the newly recruited men, Shi Fudong ran back to the Taihang Mountains in high spirits.
Liu Ling pursued Ouyang Zhuan for more than fifty miles and led his army back. When he returned to Zhuma County, the huge Yan army camp had been burned to ashes. The infantry, led by Zhao Erhua Sanlang and others, had cleaned up the battlefield and could use The equipment was collected and all the unusable ones were burned. After counting the prisoners, there were more than 20,000 prisoners.
Such a huge number was no longer within the scope of the Han army's custody. Liu Ling ordered the prisoners to report each other. Anyone who reported the Yan army's lieutenant general would not only be innocent, but would also be given two large sums of money to pay for returning home, and the crime of rebellion would not be charged. It will be recorded in the record. As long as a die-hard loyalist of Ouyang Zhuan is reported, he can only go home to ensure that he is still an innocent banker.
At this time, the prisoners exploded. In less than an hour, Ouyang Zhuan's die-hard loyalists who were hiding among the prisoners were found. They counted almost 500 people, all of whom were the original food guards of Qingzhou Warehouse. A veteran of the army, he had no mercy for these people. Liu Ling ordered them all to have their heads chopped off. For those who had made meritorious deeds in exposing the evidence, each person would be given two large sums of money without default and would be paid on the spot. Once it was confirmed, all Ouyang Zhuan's die-hard loyalists would be killed. After that, Liu Ling released all the prisoners and told them that only Ouyang Zhuan's diehard loyalists would be killed, and that the common people who were forced to join the rebels would not be held accountable as long as they repented.
Most of the captured Yan soldiers were civilians who were taken captive, and most of them were from several counties near Zhuma County. Liu Ling told them to wait patiently after returning home. After the rebellion was put down, the government
A new county magistrate will take office. As soon as the new magistrate arrives, grain seeds will be collected from Taiyuan Prefecture and distributed to everyone. Those who cultivate the land in An'an will be able to harvest next summer's grain. In addition to returning the seeds, they will only receive 10% of the harvest.
one.
The common people were very happy to hear that not only would they not be held accountable, but they would also lend themselves grain seeds in the spring of next year. Especially since the government only took 10% of the summer grain harvest, this was simply the most joyful decree since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Now
Several nearby counties were burned, killed, and plundered by the Yan army. The big families either rebelled or were raided. There are many ownerless wastelands around the county. As long as you are diligent enough, you can open up as many acres as you want. Wait until next year.
After the grain is stored in the warehouse, excluding the repayment of seeds and interest plus the 10% tap, we will be able to have enough to eat next year and still have a slight surplus. It would be a fool not to do such a good thing.
After expressing their gratitude, the people returned to their homes one after another. Although the land had been burned more desolate by the war, everyone saw the hope of living in the blood-stained land. As long as they could wait until next summer's grain harvest
When the time comes, the good times will really begin. If there is a surplus one year, even if the government raises the harvest quota in the second year, you will not be hungry again. And as soon as spring starts next year, you can sprinkle some short-harvest period crops on the ground.
With coarse grains, it only takes more than two months to fill the large grain vat at home.
With the longing for a better life next year, the people put down their weapons and returned to their homes with their fellow villagers. More than 20,000 people left in just half a day, and more than a thousand people had no use for their homes and their relatives did not want them.
They wanted to join the Han army and serve the country. For such people, Liu Ling ordered them to bypass Quzhou and go to Yingzhou, where Liu Mao, the general guard of Yingzhou and Hutinghou, was training the new army. With these
With the combat experience accumulated over the days of life and death, it was not difficult to stand out after arriving in Yingzhou. Seeing that the future was secured, those who were preparing to participate also left happily. Liu Ling gave each of them ten days of rations, and as long as they left
It shouldn't be a big problem to arrive in Yingzhou in ten days as soon as possible.
In this battle, both the infantry and the divine warriors and the elite cavalry fought with great authority and momentum. After the news spread, the people praised Liu Ling even more. With 10,000 divine warriors and elite cavalry, they defeated more than 100,000 Yan troops. Such a record can be said
Going out is enough capital to be proud of. But Liu Ling knew clearly that this huge victory was actually entirely due to Yan Jun's own failure. It is said that he defeated an army of hundreds of thousands with 10,000 elite soldiers. In fact, it is better to say that he defeated an army of more than 100,000 with 10,000 gods.
It is more appropriate for Zhan Jingjia to defeat hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
The fighting power of the Yan army is really not that good, and there is no truly qualified general in the army. It is strange that a group of half-baked generals commanding hundreds of thousands of old and weak men can defeat more than 10,000 well-equipped and well-trained soldiers of the Shenzhan Battalion.
Woolen cloth.
Liu Ling ordered the army to rest for two days in Cangwang Township, south of Zhuma County. After the soldiers recovered their strength, they broke camp and continued southward. At Xiaohu River, Liu Ling used a trick to lure the enemy to cover up and kill Yan Army General Fan Wuqi.
There were more than 10,000 troops, and then they moved to Zhuma County and defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Emperor Ouyang Zhuan of Yan Dynasty. After the news was spread back to Taiyuan Prefecture, the people celebrated the victory with lanterns and colorful decorations. Not long ago, King Hui Liu Zhi colluded with the White Lotus Sect to rebel.
The shadow was gradually forgotten by people, and the people easily shifted their attention from Taiyuan Mansion to the battlefield of counterinsurgency in the south.
In the First Battle of Zhuma County, the Shenzhan Battalion under Liu Ling lost less than a thousand men. Except for the seriously injured ones who could not move, they stayed in Zhuma County to rest and recuperate, while the 10,000 men continued to move forward.
Liu Ling divided the Shenzhan Battalion into two groups, and handed over 8,000 infantrymen to the Shenzhan Battalion commander Wang Banjin to lead them across the Xiaohu River and rushed to Quzhou. Liu Ling himself took Hanasaburo, Zhao Erhe and
Two thousand divine war spirit cavalry took another route and crossed diagonally to join the Fuyuan army who was fighting fiercely with the Yan army in Quzhou.
During these days, Du Yi commanded the Fuyuan Army and fought more than ten battles, large and small, with the Yan Army that besieged Quzhou, and won a complete victory every time. The Yan Army was beaten by the Fuyuan Army and cowered in the camp.
They did not dare to show their heads, and even the siege of Quzhou was lifted. The Yan army's shrinking front camped at Hudu Mountain, thirty miles south of Quzhou. The reason why they have not returned to Qingzhou is mainly because they heard that Ouyang Zhuan was in Zhuma County.
After the defeat, Ouyang Zhuan's second son, King Qi Ouyang Ziluan, was worried about his father and insisted on waiting here for his father to come back.
The Fuyuan Army of 20,000 men under General Du Yi was also divided into two groups. One group of 10,000 men was led by himself to continue the attack on the enemies of Quzhou. The other group of 10,000 men was led by General Feng Fubo of the Fuyuan Army, assisting the imperial envoy Zhou Yangong.
Heading southwest to Qingzhou Prefecture, he recaptured the counties occupied by the Yan army along the way. Zhou Yangong showed amazing military talent in several battles, and repeatedly used strange tricks to regain four or five counties occupied by the Yan army.
.Even Feng Fubo, who was known for his scheming, was full of praise for Zhou Yangong's command, and kept praising Zhou Yangong as the reincarnation of Guan Zhong's reborn Le Yi.
On the 18th day of the second lunar month in the third year of Jiafeng in the Han Dynasty, the Jingqi of the Shenzhan Battalion led by Liu Ling joined forces with Du Yi. At this time, the infantry of the Shenzhan Battalion led by Zhongyihou Wang Banjin defeated the Yan army's Mutu tribe at the Buffalo River.
He killed more than 10,000 enemies and chased the Yan army north of Quzhou for more than 70 miles in one breath. From then on, there was no more Yan army north of Quzhou. More than 40,000 Yan troops under Mu Tu were defeated by Wang Banjin in one battle.
With only less than 10,000 people left, he fled back to the south of Quzhou to meet Ouyang Zhuan.
Ouyang Zhuan, who ran all the way back to the Quzhou camp like a frightened bird, rested for more than ten days before he recovered. After gathering the defeated troops, he once again raised a team of no less than 50,000 people. However, this team had been destroyed by the Han Dynasty.
All the troops in the army fought with fear, and there were not many people who were not afraid of the fighting power of the Han army.
At the same time, Liu Ling ordered Yingzhoutong guard Hutinghou Liu Mao to lead an army of 10,000 people to march north and set up camp at 20 miles away from Qingzhou Prefecture to contain the enemies of Qingzhou Prefecture. The one Ouyang Zhuan stayed behind in Qingzhou Prefecture was Prince Ouyang Zi
Heng and Prime Minister Ouyang Ke both understood that although the Qingzhou Prefecture had 40,000 troops, they would never get any benefits if they really went out to fight Liu Mao. Liu Ling knew the strengths of Liu Mao, who was not aggressive enough but more defensive.
, using him to lead the army to contain the enemies of Gyeongju is the most suitable candidate.
Wang Banjin led his army across the Buffalo River and set up camp twenty miles southeast of Quzhou, echoing Liu Ling and Du Yi's men and horses. The two armies, one on the left and one on the right, were like iron pliers biting the Yan army's camp.
However, after the Han army entered a confrontation with the Yan army, there was no movement. The stalemate lasted for more than ten days without attacking. Ouyang Zhuan didn't know what Liu Ling had planned, so he sent General Mu Tu to lead an army of 5,000 to attack Wang Ban.
Ben Jin's camp, Ben planned to take advantage of Liu Ling's rescue plan to catch him off guard. As a result, Mu Tu fell into Wang Ban Jin's ambush. Five thousand people were killed, but less than two thousand ran back. The defeated army attacked Ouyang Ziluan.
The reinforcements he personally led were chased from behind by Wang Banjin for a while, and more than 3,000 people were killed. Before they could escape back to the camp, Du Yi led people to fight on the flanks for a while, and 15,000 Yan troops left the camp.
Less than four thousand people returned to the camp.
From then on, Ouyang Zhuan did not dare to go into battle easily, and guarded the camp gate every day. Five days later, news came that Liu Mao, the defender of Yingzhou, defeated the Yan army in the south of Qingzhou, and killed Ouyang Zhuan's third son, Ouyang Ziyan.
After hearing the news, Ouyang Zhuan was distraught and fell into a coma for two days. When he woke up, he no longer had any intention of capturing Quzhou. After ordering General Mutu to lead an army of 10,000, he and Sun Shubao led the army to slowly retreat towards Qingzhou.
For another two days, Liu Ling personally led the elite cavalry of the Shenzhan Battalion to pursue him. Within one day, he fought six battles with Mu Tu, the general of the Yan army after Duanhou, and won all six battles. The Yan army fled in panic, panicking like a bereaved dog (to be continued).
