Chapter 620 The Battle of Yanmen (2)
The reason why Li Jing was called the God of War is that it was due to the exaggerated deification of later generations, but it has to be said that he is indeed a genius in leading troops, and he has a good set of military training. His own Seven-Secret Formation and Three-Talent Formation are even more amazing.
The seven-man team is called the seven-minded genius. The long and short weapons are combined, the offense and defense are taken into consideration, and the teams can also echo each other and form a group. When the terrain changes, the seven-minded genius formation with the seven-man team can immediately be transformed into a more flexible three-talent formation, and the attack and killing are continued with three people in a group.
Li Jing's infantry was built for two years and he had already mastered it. He was like using his fingers and playing all kinds of weapons thoroughly. At this time, he formed a formation and killed him, just like harvesting in a rice field. It seemed that he was not moving forward quickly, but he was "cut" all the way through.
Although Liu Wuzhou has many people, no matter how many rice ears there are, he can't help but harvest the sharp sickle. What's more, in order to defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop, Liu Wuzhou threw out his strongest combat power as soon as he came up, but was resisted by the Qi army's defense. Now the Qi army has full force to counterattack, and Liu Jun has no back card to play.
After the two thousand armored light cavalry of the Qi army ate the Turkic cavalry, they seemed invincible. They rushed through the Liu army's formation, coming and going like the wind, and heading towards the location of Liu Wuzhou's general flag.
When Liu Wuzhou saw the enemy cavalry coming, he was so scared that he hurriedly mobilized his troops to resist and retreated in battle.
"Liu Wuzhou is going to be defeated, and Li Jing is indeed well-known!" Chen Xiaoyi, who had been watching the battle on the top of the city, couldn't help but sigh.
The old servant was obviously very shocked. He fought for 7,000 and fought for 20,000, and he was so easy to win. The combat power of the Qi army was too terrible. Of course, the Qi army was much stronger than the Liu army in terms of equipment, especially the kind of explosion-proof thing. I don’t know what new type of killing weapon it was. If the Qi army had a large amount of equipment and other forces did not have this thing, the Qi army would probably be able to sweep the world.
At this time, the battle situation became clearer and brighter. The Qi army's cavalry was unstoppable, and the infantry was also advancing steadily. Just as killing was concerned, infantry was obviously more efficient and brutal than cavalry.
Liu Jun retreated step by step, and the front line continued to shrink, while the Qi army's infantry and cavalry were only staring at Liu Wuzhou's flag to chase him, so Liu Wuzhou was breathless. In addition, the situation was in chaos, and the soldiers around him were noisy and could no longer command.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Wuzhou had no choice but to order to retreat to Mayi. As a result, he retreated and eventually became a retreat. At this time, Liu Wuzhou didn't care about so much. It was important to save his life. He fled in panic with his personal guards.
Now it was completely unsuccessful. Liu Wu fled Monday, and the entire army collapsed immediately. Song Jingang and Xunxiang, two generals, also abandoned their subordinates and fled in a hurry.
The Qi army chased for fifty miles before stopping the pursuit, seized a large number of weapons, horses and various supplies, and then returned triumphantly.
It was not until the afternoon that the Qi army had finished cleaning the battlefield. In this battle, nearly 3,000 Liu's army were killed, including more than 500 Turkic cavalry, more than 6,000 prisoners, more than 1,000 war horses were seized, as well as a large number of weapons, food and siege equipment, etc., which were piled up like mountains.
After counting the spoils of Li Jing, Ma Zhou was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about his ears. He walked in front of Gao Bufan and Li Jing with a smile: "King Qi, General Li, this battle is probably the one that has defeated Liu Wuzhou. The food seized alone has exceeded 10,000 stones, which is enough for our army to eat for several months, so as to save the need to transport grain from the country again."
Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "It's far from enough."
Ma Zhou was stunned and puzzled: "We have only 7,000 troops, and even if we add prisoners, there are only more than 10,000 people. The seized food and the military rations we transported ourselves are more than three or four months away."
Li Jing pointed to Yanmen City and said, "Ma Chengjun is afraid that the military and civilians in the city are not included."
Ma Zhou suddenly realized and slapped his forehead and said, "It was my subordinate who was negligent. Yanmen City was besieged for several months and had already run out of food. Even if we took it down, not only did we not seize it, but we also had to take care of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city for dinner!"
It's over, how much food must be transported from the country?
Ma Zhou seemed to fall from the top of the mountain to a low point in an instant, from a flying and dancing brow to a frown. The people in Qi lived and worked in peace and continued to produce food, but Yanjun has been in war in the past year, and production has been greatly damaged. The people themselves are getting tired, so it is impossible to collect taxes. Therefore, in a short period of time, Yanmen County has to rely on domestic blood transfusions.
So, it’s not enough to grab territory in war. If you become the owner of this land, you have to care about the lives and death of the people on this land. If you want to cut leeks, you have to let the leeks grow first, right?
Of course, as the boss, Gao Bufan didn't have to worry about these things. He just threw them to Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui after conquering the territory. How to manage them well is what they should do.
At this time, the city gate of Yanmen County was finally opened. Chen Xiaoyi and his generals came out and walked silently to Gao Bufan and Li Jing.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoyi and others looked miserable. They were ragged and thin, just like a group of beggars. However, Gao Bufan and Li Jing had no intention of ridicule, and even looked awe-inspiring, because every loyal and unyielding minister deserves respect.
Chen Xiaoyi came to Gao Bufan and was silent for a moment before saying, "I want to see the lord-killing and rebel thief Yu Wenhua and the title of the head."
Gao Bufan nodded and said, "I promised you."
Chen Xiaoyi then brushed his torn official robe, lifted up his hem and knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "Chen Xiaoyi, the prefect of Yanmen, kowtow to the King of Qi!"
The soldiers and generals behind Chen Xiaoyi also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Keep to His Highness the King of Qi."
Gao Bufan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chen Xiaoyi up and said, "Mr. Chen, please get up quickly, don't be too polite, just keep your body flat!"
Chen Xiaoyi stood up tremblingly, took a letter from his old servant and raised it over and said, "This is the household registration and land amu album of Yanmen County. Please check it out."
Gao Bufan nodded, took the document and flipped it over, and then handed it to Ma Zhou, a military officer in the record room for safekeeping.
Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is alone in guarding Yanmen and is loyal and loyal. It is really admirable. I ordered you to continue to serve as the prefect of Yanmen. The rest of the people will remain unchanged for the time being. If there are any missing personnel, the Qi Palace will send people to make up for the vacancy in the near future."
Chen Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "I am old and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on a great task. King Qi should choose another talent."
Gao Bufan did not force himself when he heard this, and nodded, "Well, Lord Chen has been guarding the lonely city for several months, but I am afraid he is tired, so he will take a temporary rest for a while. How about being the bachelor's position as the Prince of Qi's Mansion?"
Chen Xiaoyi hesitated for a moment, bowed and bowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, I am willing to serve the King of Qi with a meager power."
Gao Bufan was so happy that he was such a loyal minister. Which boss would not like him?
Next, Chen Xiaoyi introduced his soldiers and officials, met and greeted each other, and the Qi army immediately entered the city to take over the city defense, and incorporated the four or five thousand defenders under Chen Xiaoyi, and distributed grain to provide relief to the people.
For a time, the whole city's military and civilians were grateful and thanked the King of Qi for his life.
As for the prisoners, Gao Bufan also ordered them to be released. Those who were willing to leave were given three days of food, and those who were unwilling to leave could stay. In the end, only one thousand people chose to leave, and more than five thousand people chose to stay.
So Li Jing incorporated all these people, and the original defenders in the city had a force of nearly 20,000 people at once. Of course, to form combat power, these people had to practice and get in.
That night, Gao Bufan wrote a letter and sent a quick horse back to Zhuo County, asking Wei Zheng to send a capable person to take over the affairs of Yanmen County, and the food must be transported as soon as possible.
Next, Li Jing continued to send troops and took about ten days to capture the remaining four counties in Yanmen County. Since Liu Wuzhou was defeated and the remaining counties were all surrendered, Li Jing fought very easily. At this point, the entire Yanmen County fell into the hands of the Qi army.
Li Yuanji and Pei Ji, who were in charge of guarding Taiyuan, were shocked to sleep and eat after hearing that the Qi army had captured Yanmen County. They sent people to report to Chang'an while stationing troops at the junction of Taiyuan County and Yanmen Army to guard against the Qi army's sudden departure south.
After Liu Wuzhou fled back to Mayi, he was in panic all day long. While mobilizing heavy troops to defend at all levels, he also sent people to ask for help from the Turks.
