The reckless troops located at the inner end of the North Camp, as the reckless troops outside continued to crowd in, the people inside had no way to retreat, and fell into the Huangchun water one after another. For a while, people's howls and calls for help came and went.
Became one piece.
Facing the front is the advancing Han army's battle formation, and behind is the dead end road of Huang Chunshui. Tens of thousands of Mang troops are trapped in the small northern camp, with no way to the sky and no way to enter the earth. Their situation is no longer miserable, but
It's chilling.
"Sir, what should we do now?" "Sir, what should we do now?"
Looking at the panicked faces around him and listening to people's shouts, Zhen Fu was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, he didn't know what to do.
At that time, Xiang Yu was desperate and fought a last-ditch battle. He was able to defeat 400,000 Qin troops with only 50,000 men. However, when he came here, he was also desperate and fought for 80,000 soldiers. How could he still defeat tens of thousands of rebels? This is Zhen
Fu Bai is puzzled by the question.
There were dead ends before and after, and the military morale of the reckless army was not broken, but collapsed.
A large number of reckless soldiers chose to surrender in front of the Han army's battle formation, but there were countless reckless soldiers who did not even have a chance to surrender, so they fell into the Huangchun River and died.
The battle of Huang Chunshui started in the morning and lasted until the evening.
In this battle, the Han army won a complete victory and defeated the two camps of Liangqiu Ci Army and Zhenfu Army. One hundred thousand reckless troops lost 30,000 to 40,000 people in battle, of which at least 20,000 were drowned by Huang Chunshui.
The rest of the Mang army basically surrendered to the Han army. In addition, during the battle, Liang Qiuci was killed by Wang Chang, and Zhen Fu was also captured alive by the Han army in the northern camp of the Mang army.
Liu Yan, Wang Kuang, Wang Chang, Chen Mu and other Han generals had surprisingly unanimous opinions on how to deal with Zhen Fu. Kill him!
Liu Yan naturally hated Zhen Fu deeply. His second brother Liu Zhong and second sister Liu Yuan both died at the hands of Zhen Fu. Of course Liu Yan wanted to avenge his family.
The Green Forest Army also hates Zhen Fu to the extreme. Countless brothers died at the hands of Zhen Fu, whether it was the Ping Lin Army or the Xinshi Army. Now that Zhen Fu, the most valuable culprit, is captured, how can they keep him?
The victory of the Han army at Huang Chunshui was of great significance.
First, after annihilating Zhenfu and the 100,000 troops given by Liangqiu, there was no longer any force in Nanyang that could threaten the Han army, which completely established the Han army's dominant position in Nanyang.
Secondly, this battle was undoubtedly another heavy blow to the Xinmang court, which made the Xinmang court, which was already seriously ill, even more shaky.
Thirdly, through this battle, the Han army completely established its name across the country and became famous. After the Red Eyebrow Army, it became another rebel army that defeated the Mang Army.
After the Battle of Huang Chunshui, the Han army received tens of thousands of surrendered troops, and countless people came to defect from all over the country. For a time, the strength of the Han army increased by leaps and bounds, and its momentum became huge.
Counties in Nanyang also turned against each other and submitted to the Han army, but one place was an exception, Wancheng.
Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci were killed, and there was still one general in Nanyang County, Cen Peng.
Cen Peng stood firm in Wancheng and refused to surrender.
In this regard, all the generals of the Han army felt ridiculous. The 100,000 troops of Zhen Fu and Liang Qiu were wiped out by their own side, leaving only Cen Peng and an "empty" Wancheng. How could they be so ignorant?
Isn’t current affairs bringing about self-destruction?
In fact, Wancheng is not empty. There are thousands of county troops in the city, as well as thousands of strong men temporarily recruited by Cen Peng. However, in the eyes of the current Han generals, these thousands of county troops and thousands of A strong man is not worth mentioning at all.
Zhang Xuan volunteered for military service and was willing to lead 10,000 soldiers to send troops to Wancheng and capture Cen Peng. Liu Yan had fought with Cen Peng and knew that Cen Peng was a brave and resourceful man who could not be compared with Zhenfu or Liangqiu Ci. If you go to attack, you will be defeated.
Liu Yan opposed Zhang Xun's attack on Wancheng. On the contrary, Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Chen Mu, Liao Zhan, Cheng Dan, Zhu Qian and other generals were very supportive of Zhang Xun's request.
Now the Green Forest Army and the Zhutian Army have merged and are collectively called the Han Army.
Since it is the Han army, it is natural to respect the Liu family. If the brothers of the Green Forest Army do not strive for some credit, won't they be crushed by the Liu family headed by Liu Yan in the future?
When the two sides face the formidable enemy of the Mang Army together, the Green Forest Army and the Zhutian Army can really unite as one and work together to deal with the outside world.
But once the Mang Army is no longer a formidable enemy in the outside world, the internal conflicts between the Green Forest Army and the Zhu Tian Army will immediately surface.
This is also a problem that has existed since the two armies first formed an alliance, and has never been resolved.
With the victory in the Battle of Huang Chunshui and the rapid expansion of the Han army's power in Nanyang, the contradiction between the two sides not only did not weaken, but became further acute and intense.
In the end, under the repeated insistence of the generals of the Green Forest Army, Liu Yan had no choice but to compromise and agreed with Zhang Xian to lead his army to attack Wancheng.
There was another person who went to Wancheng with Zhang Yuyi, Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu went to Wancheng not to fight Cen Peng with Zhang Xuan, but to go to the outskirts of Wancheng to pick up Yin Lihua back to Xinye.
Although Zhu Tian's army had captured Xinye long ago, the threat from the county government was always there and the situation was very unstable. Liu Xiu did not dare to take Yin Lihua back to Xinye rashly.
Now the hundred thousand troops led by Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci have been completely wiped out. Only Cen Peng's troops are left in Nanyang, guarding Wancheng alone. The overall situation has been decided. At this time, Liu Xiu can finally relax and put the underworld behind. Lihua took her back to Xinye openly.
Liu Xiu and others came out of the camp together with Zhang Xuan, but they did not go together all the way.
The main reason is that Zhang Xun felt that it was a lie that Liu Xiu went to Wancheng to pick up Yin Lihua, and that it was true that he followed him to Wancheng to grab the credit.
Although Zhang Xuan was cheerful and polite to Liu Xiu on the surface, his words were full of wariness and suspicion.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's attitude, how could Liu Xiu not know what he was thinking. Liu Xiu had no intention of competing with him for credit, and attacking Wancheng was not easy, and Cen Peng was not easy to deal with either.
However, looking at Zhang Xuan's current posture, it seemed that as long as he led his army over and passed by, he could easily capture Wancheng and capture Cen Peng. This made Liu Xiu feel funny and helpless at the same time.
That night, when Zhang Xun's troops were stationed and resting, Liu Xiu came to Zhang Xun's camp.
Hearing that Liu Xiu was coming, Zhang Xian immediately came out of his tent to greet him and said with a smile on his face: "General Liu, you haven't rested yet!"
Liu Xiu smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to General Zhang."
Zhang Xuan was startled, with a look of confusion on his face. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly turned sideways, waved his hand towards the tent and said: "General Liu, please speak in the tent. Please!" "Please!"
The two of them walked into the camp tent and sat down. Zhang Xuan asked his soldiers to serve tea. When the soldiers brought the tea, he asked in confusion: "General Liu, what was your farewell speech?"
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Lihua and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and now we are very anxious, so we plan to travel all night and don't want to spend any more time here."
His crush on Yin Lihua is not a secret, and all the generals of the Green Forest Army also know about it.
Hearing what Liu Xiu said, Zhang Xun was happy and asked with a smile: "General Liu, it will take no more than three days for our army to arrive in Wancheng. Is it possible that General Liu can't wait for just three days?"
Liu Xiu said: "Lihua lives alone on the outskirts of Wancheng. I miss her very much and don't want to delay her for a moment longer."
Zhang Xuan and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment, and seeing that he was not lying, he suppressed his smile, nodded seriously, and said: "Yes, it is indeed too dangerous for Miss Yin to live alone in the suburbs of Wancheng, especially now, Cen
Peng Yuwancheng is fighting a trapped beast, and he might do something crazy. General Liu will take Miss Yin home as soon as possible, which will also make Miss Yin a little safer!"
"Exactly!"
Zhang Xuan said: "In this case, I won't stop General Liu. However, General Liu has to go to Wancheng first, so he should be more careful on the way!"
Liu Xiu cupped his hands and thanked him. He pondered for a moment and then said meaningfully: "General Zhang, Cen Peng is a man of both civil and military skills. He is good at attacking and defending. When Cen Peng was alone in the new field, our army could not attack for a long time and hit the wall again and again. This time
Cen Peng is guarding Wancheng alone again, General Zhang must be more cautious and never underestimate the enemy!"
Zhang Yan looked up and smiled, waved his hand to Liu Xiu, and said, "General Liu is worrying too much."
Since Liu Xiu is leaving and will no longer compete with himself for credit, Zhang Xuan no longer has to hide some things.
He said: "Zhenfu and Liangqiu gave 100,000 troops and the whole army was annihilated. This was a fatal blow to the morale of Wancheng. Now all the counties in Nanyang have taken refuge with our army, and Wancheng has become an isolated and helpless city.
The morale of the officers and soldiers in the city can be imagined in this death place. Even if Cen Pengming is stubborn, how can he alone be able to withstand the thousands of troops under our command?"
"That's true, but Cen Peng..."
Before Liu Xiu could finish what he said, Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Cen Peng, my son, wants to use his own power to defy the destiny and go against the will of heaven and bring about his own destruction."
Liu Xiu sighed secretly and swallowed back the words that came to his lips. The great victory in the Battle of Huang Chunshui made many of his own soldiers become arrogant soldiers. Perhaps a defeat and a hit against the wall at this time is not a big deal.
Bad thing.
He stood up, cupped his hands and said: "In short, be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship. It is always right to be more cautious! General Zhang, I won't bother you too much, just say goodbye. I hope General Zhang can get through this battle immediately."
Success!"
"Haha!" Zhang Xun laughed, stood up and bowed his hand to Liu Xiu in return, saying: "Thank you for your good words from General Liu! In this battle, I, Zhang Xun, will definitely make the Han army famous and make our Han army even more powerful!"
Liu Xiu said goodbye to Zhang Xuan and returned to his tent.
Xu Ying, Xu Fei and Xu Ting were packing their things. Zhu You, Li Tong and Xu Xiling came with Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu coming back, Li Tong stepped forward and asked: "My lord, General Zhang is attacking
Wancheng, do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. This time Zhang Xuan attacked Wancheng and had not thought of any tactics at all.
From what Zhang Xuan said, it seems that as soon as his troops arrived at Wancheng, the defenders in the city surrendered without a fight. The only one who would resist stubbornly was Cen Peng, and Cen Peng alone was not something to be afraid of.
Li Tong frowned and said: "How can we not think of countermeasures against Cen Peng? Even if General Zhang leads an army of ten thousand, it will be difficult to capture Wancheng where Cen Peng is stationed!"
Liu Xiu shrugged and said: "What we have to consider now is to bring Lihua back to Xinye as soon as possible. The situation in Wancheng is getting more and more critical. Lihua lives on the outskirts of Wancheng, and it is becoming more and more dangerous!"
The next war in Nanyang will definitely be fought around Wancheng, and Yin Lihua, who lives on the edge of Wancheng, will inevitably be affected.
Li Tong nodded, said nothing more, and followed Xu Ying and others to pack their things.
Xu Xiling was beside him, his expression was as usual, but his eyes were flickering.
She knew that Liu Xiu had always had a favorite woman, and this woman was Yin Lihua. In her heart, Xu Xiling was not only jealous, but also a little curious. What kind of woman was Yin Lihua who could make Liu Xiu like this?
