Daybreak gradually dawned.
In the early morning light, the camp that originally belonged to the Liaodong Allied Forces was now in ruins.
Along with the flames that were still burning, black smoke continued to rise.
Jiang Wei, the three brothers Deng Ai and Guanqiu Jian, while directing the soldiers to put out the fire, also had people take care of the surrendered coalition soldiers.
Yang Ling sat on a four-wheeled vehicle and was pushed by the soldiers, slowly arriving at the battlefield.
Knowing the news of Yang Ling's arrival, the three brothers hurriedly came to see him.
"I've met the teacher!"
"How was the battle last night?"
Yang Ling asked with a chuckle.
"Reporting to the teacher, after preliminary counting, the Liaodong Allied Forces suffered tens of thousands of casualties last night, and captured nearly 10,000 people!"
Hearing this number, Yang Ling couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel relieved.
Gongsun Yuan gathered a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the vast camp stretched thousands of miles away.
The kerosene bombs were just thrown down, turning the camp into a sea of flames.
It is reasonable that tens of thousands of people were burned to death by the Liaodong Allied Forces.
"Have you ever captured Gongsun Yuan?"
"Not this one."
Jiang Wei shook his head,
"However, Gongsun Yuan's generals Bei Yan and Yang Zuo, one was captured and the other was killed!"
He said and nodded to the soldiers on the side.
It didn't take long for Bei Yan, who had disheveled hair, to be brought forward.
"Are you Bei Yan, the general of Liaodong?"
"His Royal Highness King Qi is right, the last general is Bei Yan."
"Are you willing to join me, the Great Wei?"
Yang Ling arrived calmly.
Beiyan did not hesitate immediately and bowed his head.
"Yan has been wandering for half his life, but he only regrets that he has never met his master. If the Lord does not give up, Yan is willing to worship him as his adoptive father!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Cao Wei on the side showed contempt.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!
In order to survive, he actually accepted Yang Ling as his adoptive father!
Yang Ling also turned pale, waved her hands and said,
"There is no need to worship my adoptive father! As long as you serve Da Wei loyally, I will not make things difficult for you."
The Liaodong Peninsula is far away from the Central Plains and is inhabited by different ethnic groups. The situation is extremely complicated.
Although the school affairs office has spies stationed here, they don't know much about the situation of the foreign barbarians.
Although Bei Yan is extremely spineless, he is from Liaodong after all and is relatively familiar with the situation in Liaodong.
If he can take refuge, he will be able to avoid a lot of trouble in the future.
"Please rest assured, His Majesty King Qi, the general will be absolutely loyal!"
Bei Yan patted his chest and said.
Yang Ling waved his hand to ask him to retreat temporarily, then looked at Jiang Wei,
"Have you ever sent someone to inquire about Gongsun Yuan's movements?"
"Reporting to the teacher, the students have sent spies. I think it won't take long before we know where Gongsun Yuan has fled to."
"That's good!"
Yang Ling nodded, but was not in a hurry.
Now that Xiangping is under attack, the Liaodong coalition forces suffered heavy losses last night.
At this time, Gongsun Yuan had become a bereaved dog.
…
A wasteland in Liaodong.
Gongsun Yuan led the remaining defeated soldiers and fled here in a panic.
After confirming that the Wei army was not pursuing him, he ordered to rest where he was.
Looking at the disgraced and miserable army, Gongsun Yuan almost cried without tears.
He didn't mean that he couldn't accept failure, but the problem was that he couldn't accept such an outrageous defeat.
Before the Wei army could attack, the camp suddenly caught fire, burning countless soldiers to death.
This is simply too evil!
After calming down a little, Gongsun Yuan sent someone to invite Wei Gong and others over.
"Your Highness King Yan, what should we do now?"
Wei Gong said with a bitter face.
The fire last night not only killed countless Liaodong soldiers, but also burned all their food, grass and luggage.
At present, there is very little food and grass left in the army.
"Don't panic!"
Gongsun Yuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice,
"Let's hurry up and get back to Xiangping as quickly as possible!"
"As long as we recapture Xiangping, we still have the ability to fight the Wei army."
After hearing what he said, the foreign leaders felt a little relieved.
After some counting, there were only less than 100,000 of the original 200,000 troops left!
The other troops were either killed in battle and captured, or were separated from the army.
However, Gongsun Yuan was not in the mood and continued to wait for the scattered soldiers.
After just a short rest, he took his troops and horses and continued on his journey.
After running wildly all the way, the Liaodong Allied Forces finally arrived at Xiangping City at noon the next day.
After seeing the city wall that was blown down by the Wei army, Gongsun Yuan first took a breath of cold air, and then felt a little lucky in his heart.
Fortunately, the city wall collapsed. Otherwise, how could the Liaodong Allied Forces attack the city without even their supplies?
"Tell me to go down and let the soldiers rest, and we will start attacking the city in two hours!"
The Wei army led by Yang Ling will enter Liaodong County soon.
Only by capturing Xiangping early can we avoid being attacked from both sides.
When the Liaodong Allied Forces were resting on the spot, they saw dust flying in the rear, and it seemed that an army was coming here.
Gongsun Yuan was startled and hurriedly shouted,
"Quick, prepare to meet the enemy!"
All the soldiers quickly got up and hurriedly prepared to meet the enemy.
However, when the other party approached, they saw the leader shouting,
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, don't do anything, we are on our own!"
Gongsun Yuan took a closer look and saw that it was actually Bei Yan!
"Bei Yan, why is it you? Didn't you die at the hands of the Wei army?"
After getting close, Bei Yan quickly reined in the reins and explained,
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan didn't know something. The general fought bloody battles before he defeated the Wei army and successfully broke through."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yuan curled his lips.
Beiyan has been loyal to him for more than ten years, and he knows everything about Beiyan.
He fought bloody battles and defeated the Wei army.
Maybe he pretended to be dead and escaped while Wei Jun was not paying attention.
However, Gongsun Yuan would not pursue that much. If Bei Yan could escape, his strength would increase, and the possibility of retaking Xiangping City would increase a lot.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Bei. Take a quick rest and take back Xiangping with me!"
"The last general takes command!"
Bei Yan saluted and called the soldiers behind him to join the team and rest.
Everyone in Liaodong rested for two hours. Seeing that it was almost time, Gongsun Yuan said in a deep voice,
"Line up and prepare to attack the city!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded with a roar.
While the soldiers were lining up, Bei Yan approached Gongsun Yuan and suggested in a low voice,
"Your Highness King Yan, before we start to attack the city, we might as well go and persuade them to surrender, so as to lower the morale of the enemies in the city?"
Although Gongsun Yuan did not think that the Wei army in the city would be hit by him, it was better than nothing.
He thought for a while, then nodded and said,
"That's fine!"
Seeing that the army had been assembled, Gongsun Yuan clamped his horse's belly and walked towards the foot of Xiangping City.
At the same time, Bei Yan also followed behind him with a group of soldiers.
"It's better to be careful. I will go with His Highness King Yan!"
