Liu Yan showed off the four Han flags embroidered by Liu Boji. In the school military field, the morale of the Zhutian Army officers and soldiers was greatly boosted. People raised their arms and shouted in unison.
Striking while the iron was hot, Liu Yan divided the entire army into three teams. One team was named Zhuque and was led by Liu Yan himself. The other team was named White Tiger and was led by Liu Ji.
One team was named Qinglong. Before he could assign generals, Liu Xiu volunteered and was willing to lead the Qinglong team into battle to kill the enemy.
Liu Xiu was injured, and the injury kept getting worse. Liu Yan had no intention of letting him go into the battle, but as soon as he hesitated, Liu Xiu immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The general is willing to lead his team into the battle, please." General, make it happen!"
If he wanted to fight in public like this, if he were to block it again, it would be too unreasonable and it would appear that he was too selfish. Liu Yan sighed helplessly, and finally agreed to Liu Xiu to lead the Qinglong team to fight together.
After being divided into teams, the remnants of the Three Thousand Pillar Heavenly Army headed by Liu Yan swarmed out along the north city gate.
The team in the center is the Suzaku team led by Liu Yan. To the left of the Suzaku team is the Green Dragon team commanded by Liu Xiu. To the right of the Suzaku team is the White Tiger team commanded by Liu Ji.
At the very back of the army, directly in front of the North City Gate, stands a single large flag, the Han White Tiger Flag!
Liu Yan, Liu Xiu, and Liu Ji, the three Liu brothers, each led a team of soldiers and horses. After leaving Jiyang City, they ran straight towards the capital army on the opposite side like wild horses that had escaped the reins.
About three miles outside the North City, the Capital Army was still busy setting up camp. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that the remnants of the Zhutian Army did not defend Jiyang, but instead took the initiative to attack.
The soldiers of the capital army, many of whom were shirtless and still holding camping tools in their hands, stared blankly at the swarming Zhutian Army. They were dumbfounded for a moment and did not even react.
The general who led the army was the first to come to his senses and screamed: "Line up! The whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy!"
Hearing the general's roar, the soldiers present woke up from a dream and threw away the camping tools in their hands. Some lowered their heads and looked around for their weapons, while others hurriedly put the armor they had just taken off on themselves. set.
The scene of these 5,000 capital troops can be described as chaos.
Liu Xiu commanded the Qinglong Team. In addition to Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting, there were more than 500 people including Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Yao Qi, Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Fu Jun.
None of them were riding horses, dragging their weapons, swinging their legs and charging forward.
Boom!
Suddenly, a dull drum sound was heard from behind. People ran forward and looked back, only to see a big drum placed under the white tiger flag at some point. Standing behind the drum, holding a huge drumstick, It was Liu Boji.
The little girl picked up the drumstick with both hands and hit with all her strength.
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers of the Zhutian Army present were filled with excitement and blood boiling. Along with the sound of drums, people's eyes quickly became bloodshot, and their eyes glowed red.
"kill--"
The five thousand capital troops had not yet formed a complete formation when the Zhutian Army was already approaching them.
Liu Xiu held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. The shield was in front and the Chixiao Sword was behind. Bang, bang, bang! The arrows fired from the opposite direction were nailed to the shield in front of him. Instead of slowing down his speed, they actually Let his figure become faster.
Arriving in front of the Capital Army camp, Liu Xiu didn't slow down at all and ran straight into it.
Boom!
The collision between shield and shield made a loud noise. The powerful impact caused the soldiers of the capital army on the opposite side to lean back and retreat. Before the opponent could stabilize his body, Liu Xiu stabbed out with the sword in his hand.
.
Poof! The Red Sky Sword penetrated the opponent's chest, and the soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. Before the soldiers behind him could move forward to take up their positions, Liu Xiu pressed forward with his shield on his head, and kept stabbing forward with the sword in his hand.
.
Puff puff! Bloody arrows splashed out from the crowd of soldiers from the capital on the opposite side, sprinkling in the air and on Liu Xiu's face and body.
This was just a corner of the battle. On the entire battlefield, the soldiers of both sides were in full contact. The soldiers in the front row squeezed each other with their shields and thrust forward desperately with the weapons in their hands.
The soldiers in the front row fell into a pool of blood one after another, and then were trampled by people from both sides to a bloody pulp.
While Liu Xiu was killing and injuring the enemies across from him, he was paying attention to the battle situation around him. It could be seen that the capital army had rushed to fight, and its formation was chaotic and incomplete. Now it was forced by its own side to retreat continuously.
Realizing that the opportunity had come, Liu Xiu turned his head and shouted: "Fu Jun——"
Hearing Liu Xiu's shout, Fu Jun put away the arrows in his hands without saying a word, pulled out a hollow sounding arrow from the quiver, he twisted the bow and arrow, aimed it in the air, and shot an arrow fiercely. The sounding arrow rose into the sky.
, making a sharp and long whistle.
Rumble——
After the sound of arrows, the ground trembled and the hoofbeats of horses roared. Six hundred cavalry troops, led by Ma Wu and Feng Yi, fought out from behind the infantry of the Qinglong Team. The infantry of the Qinglong Team retreated to both sides, dodging a passage, and the cavalry followed this
The human flesh channel rushed out. Ma Wu, who was in the lead, rushed to the front of the capital army camp and stabbed out with a knife. Poof! The nine-eared eight-ring knife pierced the chest of a soldier. The blade did not lose its force and stabbed another soldier behind.
On the soldiers.
Ma Wuduan shouted, held the sword in both hands, and swung it forward. The two soldiers flew out together and crashed into the crowd of the capital army, overwhelming the soldiers in front.
The war horse trampled the fallen soldiers and rushed forward. Ma Wu was on the horse, and the nine-eared and eight-ringed sword was swung away. The blood around it was like spring water, spurting into the air one after another.
Facing the infantry such as Liu Xiu, the Capital Army was already unable to parry, and now it was directly facing the cavalry. The Capital Army could no longer hold on, and the dense crowd retreated like a tide.
Seeing that the capital army was on the verge of defeat, the morale of the Han army became stronger. The cavalry charged forward to disrupt the enemy's formation, and the infantry then advanced to cover up the enemy. The cooperation between the two sides was extremely tacit.
The Capital Army opposite the Qinglong Team could no longer hold up. On the other side, the White Tiger Team headed by Liu Ji was also overwhelming.
Two men, Liu Ji and Deng Feng, led more than a thousand soldiers under their command. Like two sharp knives, they penetrated deeply into the camp of the Capital Army on the opposite side, killing the surrounding Capital Army until they cried for their mothers and fled in all directions.
Liu Yan's calculation was correct. Zhutian's army was defeated in a battle at Xiao Chang'an, and they were defeated miserably. Thirty thousand people were beaten into three thousand. But it was precisely this that completely aroused the common hatred of the whole army.
Facing the enemy who killed their relatives, people's eyes were red, and they wished they could trade one life with the capital army. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Zhutian Army went crazy, fighting completely without their lives.
If one person fights tooth and nail, ten people will be invincible; if ten thousand people fight tooth and nail, the world will be invincible.
Not to mention that the Capital Army came after a long journey, the whole army was exhausted, and they hurriedly faced the battle without even setting up a formation. Even if the Capital Army was at its peak, facing the more than 3,000 Zhutian Army who risked their lives, they did the same. I can't stand it.
The Blue Dragon Team and the White Tiger Team both advanced forward, killing and injuring the Capital Army on the opposite side. They were defeated in succession. Only the Suzaku Team in the center had not yet shown a clear advantage against the Capital Army.
It wasn't that the Capital Army that faced them was tenacious and good at fighting, or that their side lacked combat strength, but that Liu Yan did it intentionally.
The superior battle situation made Liu Yan change his original thinking. Now what he wanted was no longer a simple victory, but a complete victory that could completely annihilate the enemy.
The Suzaku Team he led deliberately did not exert its full strength, allowing the Green Dragon Team and White Tiger Team on both sides to defeat the enemy. As a result, the defeated Jingshi Army could only concentrate towards the center, while the Blue Dragon Team and White Tiger Team turned to the center. The enemy troops flanked him on both sides.
The situation of the Zhutian Army, the three armies of Zhuque, Qinglong and White Tiger, encircling the 5,000 capital troops has already taken shape on the battlefield.
Liu Xiu understood his elder brother's intention, and Liu Ji also understood Liu Yan's intention. Instead of pursuing the enemy soldiers who escaped sporadically, the two groups of Zhutian Army cooperated with the Suzaku Army and began to encircle the main force of the Capital Army.
When the commander-in-chief of the Capital Army realized that something was wrong, the Zhutian Army had quietly completed the encirclement of the Capital Army.
More than 3,000 pillars of the Heavenly Army surrounded the 5,000 capital troops, using a small number to surround the larger ones. Such a scene is extremely rare in the history of wars both at home and abroad.
The Capital Army also wanted to break out of the encirclement, but they couldn't break out at all. No matter which direction they rushed in, they were hit head-on by the Zhutian Army.
The battle between the two sides started in the morning and lasted until evening. The casualties on the Zhutian Army's side were not large. On the other hand, the Capital Army's side had lost 3,000 people, with less than 2,000 remaining, and was still under threat. In the dangerous situation of siege.
The commander-in-chief of the capital army finally realized that his side had been defeated in this battle, and there was no way to continue the fight. If he continued to fight, the remaining less than 2,000 people would all have to answer here.
He immediately sent a military commander out of the capital camp holding a white flag, hoping to discuss surrender with the Zhutian Army.
Seeing that the capital army was ready to surrender, Liu Xiu, who was covered in blood from the killings, turned his head and said: "Ziwei!"
Fu Jun looked at Liu Xiu and saw an icy cold light flashing in his eyes. He immediately understood. Fu Jun took out a carved feather arrow from the quiver behind his back, twisted his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed it at the commander of the capital army. The arrow shot past.
puff!
The commander of the capital army didn't even react at all. Fu Jun's arrow hit him in the neck. He shook a few times on his horse and fell down. This scene made the commander of the capital army pale in fright, and also made the commander of the capital army pale. A soldier is like mourning an heir.
On the side of the Zhutian Army, people stared with blood-red eyes and hit their shields with their spears, making a deafening roar. At the same time, people shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The cold light in Liu Yan's eyes grew stronger, he waved his sword forward and shouted loudly: "Kill all the reckless thieves, leaving no one behind!"
"kill--"
The Zhutian Army launched a final all-out blow against the exhausted and desperate Capital Army. At this point in the battle, the two sides were no longer fighting, but almost a one-sided massacre.
As the sun sets in the west, the sky is red and the ground is also red. The rainbows of heaven and earth merge into one, as if they have merged into one.
During the Battle of Jiyang, the 5,000 vanguard capital troops who pursued the remnants of the Zhutian Army, except for the few hundred who had escaped earlier, the remaining nearly 5,000 people were completely wiped out by the remnants of the Zhutian Army outside Jiyang City.
This great victory was really important to the current Zhutian Capital Division. It was like a timely rain. It not only stabilized the morale of the army in time and revived our own morale, but also attracted many Nanyang people to join the army. Even if
It was Liu Jia who took a lot of initiative in the negotiations with the Green Forest Army, and because of the victory of the Zhutian Army, he also had a lot of bargaining chips.
It can be said that the victory of this battle was to forcefully pull Zhu Tianjun back to the cliff after most of his body had fallen into the abyss.
