"The last general takes command!"
Bei Yan and Yang Zuo did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.
For so many years, despite the chaos in the Central Plains, Liaodong County has always been in a corner, but it is extremely peaceful.
In addition, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Du and his son devoted themselves to development and external expansion.
He successively captured Xuantu County and Lelang County, and brought Goguryeo and Buyeo under his control.
After Gongsun Yuan came to power, the Gongsun family had taken over the Liaodong area as their own, and there was a faint tendency to dominate one side and become the king.
Not to mention Goguryeo, Fuyu, Haoqian and other foreign barbarians, the Gongsun family's army alone numbered hundreds of thousands!
Beiyan led 50,000 troops and horses, and left Xiangping with Yang Zuo and rushed to the Liaodong vassal state.
The Liaodong vassal state is located between Liaoxi County and Liaodong County. It was originally set up by the Han Dynasty to resettle the surrendered Wuhuan people.
But after the Wuhuan people were defeated by Cao Wei and Liaodong County prospered again, this place gradually became a buffer between Cao Wei and the Gongsun family.
In the vast sky and earth, only a mighty army of soldiers and horses was seen galloping from a distance.
The leaders were none other than Bei Yan and Yang Zuo.
"Where is this place?"
Beiyan reined in the reins and stopped moving forward.
"Reporting back to the general, Fangxian County should be ahead."
Yang Zuo replied,
"I guess we are not far from Cao Wei's army."
Fang County was originally a county town within the territory of Liaodong, but due to the gradual migration of the Wuhuan people and the increasing prosperity of Liaodong, the county seat has long been abandoned.
"In this case, we might as well settle in Fang County and wait for the arrival of Cao Wei's army."
Bei Yan groaned.
"So good!"
Yang Zuo nodded in agreement and ordered the army to move forward and prepare to enter Fang County.
However, just when they arrived outside Fang County, they saw another group of soldiers and horses coming in a menacing manner.
Look at their flags, they are Cao Wei’s army!
Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Guan Qiujian received Yang Ling's military orders and headed straight to the Liaodong vassal state, also intending to seize Fang County!
The two sides suddenly encountered this, and they were stunned for an instant!
Fortunately, Deng Ai responded in time and shouted in a deep voice,
"Array up!"
Bei Yan on the other side also reacted and shouted,
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
In just a moment, the Wei army had been assembled.
On the other hand, the soldiers and horses in Liaodong not only failed to complete their assembly, but were still in a bit of chaos!
The military quality of the armies of both sides was immediately judged!
Deng Ai seized the opportunity and immediately commanded Cao Wei's army to attack Liaodong.
Seeing this situation, Bei Yan almost got his nose twisted with anger!
If we just face the enemy like this, this battle will be a fart!
Forced as a last resort, Bei Yan could only give instructions,
"Yang Zuo, you first lead the assembled army to fight. You must not let the Wei army rush over!"
Yang Zuo did not dare to neglect, and immediately led the Liaodong soldiers and horses in military formation, and slowly stepped forward to meet the enemy.
But compared with the Wei army on the opposite side, his troops seemed a bit alone!
Before the two sides even got close, Wei's soldiers, armed with three-eyed blunderbuss and Lingyue repeating crossbows, directly launched a wave of long-range strikes!
Although the Liaodong Army could resist many arrows with the shield in their hands, the power of the three-eyed gun was too great.
There are still many casualties among the Liaodong Army!
Yang Zuo frowned and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said,
"Rush over quickly, don't fight with them!"
The Liaodong Army endured the blows of the Three-Eyed Gun and the Lingyue Repeating Crossbow, and finally rushed to the vicinity of the Wei Army after paying a heavy price.
But the Wei army was not confused at all. The musketeers and crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the infantry behind them came forward.
They held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and attacked the Liaodong Army!
The two sides just took over on the first day, and they saw that the Wei army was in a fierce momentum. When the sword was raised and fell, the Liaodong army was covered in blood mist, and broken limbs were flying everywhere!
You must know that the soldiers recruited by Yang Ling this time are all elites from hundreds of battles.
When they faced off against the Liaodong Army, it was simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
In just a moment, the front row of the Liaodong Army was wiped out with casualties, and the soldiers behind them kept retreating.
Yang Zuo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and felt his scalp numb.
The combat effectiveness of this Wei army is too amazing, right?
If we continue to fight, we may lose all our troops, but we may not be able to severely damage the Wei army!
Yang Zuo felt timid and immediately handed over the command to his deputy general and galloped towards the rear.
Bei Yan, who was behind, had just assembled his troops and was about to go up to support Yang Zuo, when he saw Yang Zuo coming over on horseback.
He glared at Yang Zuo and said sternly,
"Yang Zuo, are you afraid of fighting?"
"General, calm down!"
Yang Zuo quickly explained,
"The Wei army's combat power is really amazing. If the fight continues like this, we are really no match for us!"
Bei Yan was stunned for a moment, looked towards the battlefield, and was also surprised!
At this time, a melee broke out between the two sides, and the Wei army was divided into a small group of several people.
In front is the sword and shield bearer, responsible for resisting the attacks of Liaodong soldiers.
Behind him were two soldiers holding three-eyed guns and Lingyue repeating crossbows.
In addition, there are two spearmen guarding the wings, and two sword and shield men following behind to avoid being attacked by others.
This lineup was adapted by Yang Ling from Qi Jiguang's Yuanyang Formation. It can be said that it has both offense and defense, and is suitable for use in chaotic battles.
It's just that the requirements for the military quality of the soldiers are extremely high, and they cannot be implemented unless they are elite troops.
Those Liaodong soldiers fighting on their own are no match for the revised Yuanyang Formation. Whenever they encounter one, they will be mercilessly killed!
"Wei Jun's formation is so damn evil!"
Bei Yan cursed and hesitated in his heart.
At this moment, the Wuhuan cavalry accompanying the Wei army was seen roaring out.
They quickly rushed towards Yang Zuo's troops from the left and right wings!
But in the blink of an eye, Yang Zuo's men showed signs of defeat.
Yang Zuo suddenly felt distressed and shouted,
"General, we must seize Fang County quickly, otherwise we will definitely lose!"
"Yeah!"
Bei Yan no longer hesitated, decided to abandon Yang Zuo's troops, and quickly entered Fang County!
They commanded the remaining troops and immediately moved towards Fang County.
Without reinforcements from the rear, Yang Zuo's army also fell into defeat.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were just reduced to meat on the chopping board!
This battle lasted for nearly an hour.
Seeing that they were no match for the Wei army and unable to escape, the remaining Liaodong army finally reluctantly chose to surrender.
Bei Yan and Yang Zuo in Fang County could only watch this scene, but they were helpless!
Seeing that it was getting late, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were not in a hurry to attack Fang County.
Instead, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, set up camp in Fang County, and sent out sentries to guard.
Seeing that the Wei army did not intend to attack the city, Bei Yan and Yang Zuo also breathed a sigh of relief.
"The combat power of this Wei army... is so terrifying!"
Yang Zuo said with lingering fear.
Although Bei Yan said nothing, his expression was also one of deep understanding.
Before fighting against Wei Jun, neither of them took Wei Jun seriously.
