Chapter 108 Horses go down the city

The Shu army chased for more than ten miles and chased to the camp of Wei County. When they saw the gates of the thief army were closed, the soldiers in the camp were waiting to go, and were ready to fight. Guan Yu and other generals watched the formation and saw that there was no way to take advantage of it, so they withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.

There were countless deaths in this battle, and countless escaped. After all, not to mention the Southern Barbarian army, Jianning's military system was not as strict as the Shu army, and there were not many training on weekdays. After defeat, it was normal to be a deserter, and he left behind three thousand surrendered troops. This was different from Guan Yu's attack on the camp before. At that time, Guan Yu had few people and few enemies killed. This time, Ye Zhao's main force was here, and tens of thousands of people were chasing him. It can be said that he was sweeping by. Even if the thief army was willing to surrender, there was not much room for them to beg for mercy in the chaotic battlefield. Often, they were killed by the Shu army that rushed up before begging for mercy.

There will be shocking soldiers hiding on both sides, and the army is not too dense and then throwing away the weapons and surrendering. Under normal circumstances, the Shu army will not make things difficult for the surrendered army that has kneeled down and asked for surrender. Of course, if someone dares to make trouble with this, the consequences will be more terrifying than being killed directly. The surrendered army around them will not let them do this, because they may be implicated.

Gao Chang was unfortunately killed in the chaos army, but he was not killed by the enemy, but accidentally fell off the horse and was trampled to death by the fleeing chaos army. This was the second Jianning prefect who died since Ye Zhao sent troops. This position was poisonous, and none of the people who sat on it seemed to have a good end.

Duosilai lost the first warrior, and the warriors brought by Bana Cave were also seriously injured. After Guan Yu and others retreated, they couldn't help but retreat and suffered two consecutive defeats. Jianning's troops were in a state of no command with Gao Chang's death. Although it was an alliance, neither Meng Huo nor Bana Cave Master nor Yinye Cave Master were qualified to command these people. The soldiers of the Han army would not buy their accounts, nor would they accept the command of a group of barbarians.

Meng Huo tried to collect military power, but was rejected by the generals in the army and decided to temporarily withdraw from Jianning and join the prefect of Yongchang. The Lord of Yinye Cave was unwilling to stay here. In this battle, he saw the might of the Shu army. Now he was short of manpower and did not want to go to war with the Shu army again.

"All have left?" When Ye Zhao received the news, it was already afternoon. The defense line established by the barbarians in Tanlu Mountain had been withdrawn, leaving behind several empty camps, obviously not preparing to fight again.

"Yes, there are only thousands of Jianning soldiers and lords left in Wei County. It is the best time to collect Jianning!" Huang Quan nodded and said with an excited look on his face.

Just one month after entering Zhuti, he had already broken through a county. Ye Zhao was traveling to the four counties of Nanzhong this time. As the weather was getting colder today, it was no longer suitable for combat. At this time, being able to obtain Jianning would not only allow Ye Zhao to gain a foothold in the Nanzhong area, but also conquered all the Jianning troops captured before. In this way, Ye Zhao had enough troops to support Ye Zhao's plan to pacify the four counties of Nanzhong.

"Lord, if we can take Jianning, the remaining three counties in the south can be divided into two. We can start a new army and station troops in Zhuti to restrain Yueli. The main force of our army will focus on subdue Yongchang and support the two counties!" Xu Rong suggested.

Yueli was west of Zhuti, while Jianning, Jinghu and Yongchang were in the south. The reason why Ye Zhao left behind three thousand soldiers and horses was that Zhang Ren and Guan Ping remained in Zhuti was largely because he was guarding against the attack in the direction of Yueli.

"Jianning defeated two prefects in a row, and was defeated one after another, and his morale was gone. Jianning surrendered too many troops in the army. If Jianning did not take down Jianning, these people would not be able to return home, Yun Chang!" Ye Zhao nodded. At this time, there was no need to delay the battle. If the defeat was two consecutive games, even if the Jianning family was unwilling to do so, they would probably be unable to pose any threat to them. In order to prevent the Southern Barbarians from making a comeback, they should indeed occupy Jianning first.

"Here!" Guan Yu stepped forward and bowed.

"Wei County's troops were defeated and their morale was lost. In addition, we won't be able to fight for two consecutive prefects. Now we are afraid that the army will have no desire to fight. You are now the most famous in Nanzhong. You can do the surrender!" Ye Zhao looked at Guan Yu and said.

"The last general will take the order!" Guan Yu nodded, took the command arrow and turned around and left.

"Xu Rong!" Ye Zhao pulled out another command arrow and looked at Xu Rong.

"The last one is here!" Xu Rong also took a step forward and bowed.

"Lead five thousand troops and conquer Jianning. When the army arrives, I don't want anyone else to resist in Jianning County!" Ye Zhao handed the arrow to Xu Rong, and finally said, his tone a little heavier.

Xu Rong looked up at Ye Zhao, nodded silently, took the arrow and said, "Don't worry, lord!"

The next morning, Guan Yu rode out of the city alone and came directly to Weixian to shout the gate.

Gao Chang was dead, but there were still several generals and officials in Wei County. When they saw Guan Yu coming alone, they were surprised. Although they suffered defeats, the Shu army only sent one person to them, which was a bit too underestimated, right?

"Shoot the arrow and shoot him to death!" A general was angry and wanted to order someone to shoot the arrow, but was stopped by several other generals.

"Then Guan Yu is a general in Shu. If we shoot him and kill him, he will definitely anger the Lord of Shu. At that time, this Wei County will become a fair and you and I will have a way out?" Another general said in a deep voice: "Let him in and see what he has to say!"

The other generals also nodded. At this time, Wei County had no leader and even lost its military strength. They were unwilling to anger Ye Zhao at this time.

"I am the General of the Cavalry, Guan Yu, the general under the governor of Yizhou, come here to persuade him to surrender!" Guan Yu entered the city, his eyes swept across the surrounding groups of Jianning soldiers, ignored the bows and arrows pointing at him, and said coldly: "Who in the city is in charge now, please come out to meet him!"

On the city wall, a general leaned out from behind the female wall, looked at Guan Yu and shouted: "Guan Yu, you are still so arrogant when you enter the city alone, may you not be afraid of death!"

"The rats with hidden heads and tails are worthy of talking to someone!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, and in the shocked gaze of the soldier beside him who led him in, he snatched the spear from the other party's hand, shook his hand and threw the spear out at the general who was protruding his head from the city wall.

The general obviously did not expect that Guan Yu would dare to take action under such circumstances. Before he could react, the spear had already penetrated his head and nailed him to the city tower.

"Cruff~"

From all directions, long bows were pulled open in an instant, locking Guan Yu. Just wait for someone to give an order to penetrate Guan Yu's thousands of arrows, but no one has issued this order for a long time.

Guan Yu looked around and said proudly: "My lord is kind and does not want to kill more. Although you rebelled, you are still willing to wait for a way out for life. Send Guan to persuade him to surrender. At this moment, you not only avoid it, but also aim your sharp blade at Guan, but you want to cut off your own life?"

"Guan Yu, don't be alarmist. There are still three thousand soldiers in Wei County, and it's no problem to defend the city. Besides, there are soldiers from the four counties in Nanzhong. Soon, there will be 100,000 troops. How many troops can Ye Hou have? Can he be enemies with it?" On the city wall, the three generals all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Guan Yu had no weapons at his hand and stood up. Someone said aloud.

"A hundred thousand army?" Guan Yu sneered and said, "But Guan doesn't know where the 100 thousand army is now, as for the three thousand soldiers... In the past, Liu Yan's army was more than 30,000, but he still couldn't compete with our lord. With this small place, he also wanted to resist the heavenly soldiers?"

Before the other party could speak, Guan Yu said loudly: "My Lord's intention is now told that if you are willing to surrender, put down your weapons and open the city to surrender. My Lord has the words to come first. Those who surrender will not be killed. If you do not surrender, you can shoot Guan. Look, how many of the three thousand soldiers can survive until this time tomorrow!"

Guan Yu said with a word, he was angry with the three armies, standing among the enemies, but he did not have the awareness of being surrounded. He saw that the soldiers in the city were nothing, but the surrounding soldiers began to hesitate, and many people quietly pressed down their bows and arrows.

The three Jianning generals were so arrogant that they couldn't come to Taiwan by Guan Yu's words. They dared not kill anyone. The Shu army had already seen the might of the Shu army, but they just admitted their conscience, and their faces were really dark.

Guan Yu ignored them, said nothing more, stood under the lock of thousands of arrows, closed his eyes and began to calm down.

The three generals looked at each other and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. After a long time, the person who spoke before said bitterly smiled: "General Guan is a clear understanding of the name of Ye Hou. I have been waiting for the secret of my heart for a long time, but I am a soldier from Jianning. How can I know that Ye Hou will not settle accounts with me after he doesn't get off the city?"

Guan Yu opened his eyes and looked at the three of them and said, "My lord has always been talking about it. In the past, Liu Yan and my lord still had personal grudges. Ye Hou defeated Cheng/du and treated Liu Yan with great courtesy. You all follow the thief, but you are helpless. How could you not know? Besides, the lord has decided to live in Jianning for a while. If you surrender, you will be highly valued. What is the account to settle?"

"We can still believe General Guan's words. If this is true, we are willing to surrender!" The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They originally wanted to give Guan Yu a warning, so that Guan Yu would not underestimate him. However, they could not come to Taiwan and could only ask for the result of soft words.

Guan Yu's expression slowed down a lot, and he looked at everyone and said, "Since that's the case, replace the flag on the city, put down the weapons, and leave the city to receive surrender. Our Lord will come in person later!"

"We obey the order!" The three generals had no choice but to change the flag on the city to Ye Zhao's cavalry general's military flag, and asked the soldiers in the city to put down their weapons and lined up to go out of the city to welcome Ye Zhao.

Guan Yu asked him to go to Ye Zhao's camp to inform him, and he led three generals out of the city to take care of the three armies.

Soon, Ye Zhao, who received the news, led his army to come. When he saw the soldiers who went out of the city to surrender, he immediately stepped forward and came to Guan Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Yun should not be so reckless next time. If he was unfortunately hit by Liuya, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

"The last time I will obey the order!" Guan Yu bowed and said, "Wei County has been down. Please ask the lord to accept the enemy."

Ye Zhao nodded and sent people to take over the surrendered troops. In addition to the troops who had recruited the surrendered troops before, there were nearly 15,000 soldiers in the army. After Xu Rong led his army to leave, these troops were more than Ye Zhao's current headquarters and needed to be properly placed to avoid any change.
