"Kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service!"
"rush!"
Bursts of shouts of killing came from the sky.
The Shangdang Army and the Hanoi Army did not even have time to react, so they could only fight hastily. Unfortunately, as soon as the two sides came into contact, they were immediately defeated.
The 30,000 troops from the Fenzhou Camp and the Bingzhou Camp covered them from both sides to the center. They were also equipped with 500 Zhuge Divine Crossbows that Yuan Ke had equipped in advance. Once they started fighting, they were like magic soldiers starting a regiment. The Party army and the Hanoi army caused huge casualties, and their formation was immediately ruthlessly penetrated by the two battalions.
A one-sided massacre also began.
"My lord, now, even if Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang have the ability to ascend to heaven, they are unable to return to heaven."
Xu Yang said.
"One wrong move and everything was lost. Wang Kuang's reckless withdrawal has already doomed their defeat."
"War is not a child's play."
Yuan Ke also agrees with this view.
The victory of this battle is determined.
"Capture Zhang Yang alive, capture the old thief Wang Kuang alive, and get promoted to the third level..."
The soldiers of the two battalions rushed forward regardless of their lives for Yuan Ke's bounty. The combat power they unleashed at this time was completely different from the previous time they were in Han Sui's army.
In the past, they responded passively, but now they are actively fighting, and their combat capabilities are completely different.
Everything is because Yuan Ke rewards and punishes appropriately.
After fighting for about half an hour, the Shangdang Army's formation began to collapse. They were retreating steadily and could no longer organize and effectively stop them. As for the Hanoi Army's defense line, it had been completely lost. Wang Kuang, a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, was in Fu An. Under the cover of the enemy, he abandoned the army and ran towards the southeast.
"Wang Kuang misled me, and I will never spare this old thief."
When Zhang Yang's army heard about the withdrawal of troops in front of Hanoi's formation, they immediately started to curse.
Today, the situation is over.
"Lü Cheng, let's withdraw and go back to the Shangdang. As long as we go back, I still have a chance to make a comeback."
Zhang Yang said.
"yes!"
After that, he also led 3,000 troops and retreated to the north.
With the escape of the commanders of the two armies, the Shangdang Army and the Hanoi Army lost all fighting spirit, were unable to fight, and began to scatter and lose.
"Don't kill those who surrender, don't kill those who surrender..."
Yuan Kejun started shouting slogans again.
After that, some people began to choose to surrender.
At the beginning, there were only three or four people, later, there were thirty or forty people, three or four hundred people...
"You heroes, don't kill me, I, we surrender -"
"Zhang Yang is ruthless and unjust. He abandoned us and left us to die in vain. Brothers, why should we fight to the death? Let's surrender."
"Wang Kuangwuyi, we are willing to surrender!"
...
At this point, many people in the Shangdang Army and Hanoi Army chose to surrender.
Those who resisted were mercilessly killed.
By the time the war came to an end, more than 10,000 enemies had been killed in this battle, and nearly 10,000 soldiers had been surrendered.
Yuan Ke reduced the Shangdang Army to the Fenzhou Camp, and the Hanoi Army to the Bingzhou Camp. The two battalions immediately cleared the battlefield and integrated their troops.
At night, two more groups of people returned.
They also took Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang back, but Fu An and Lu Cheng both died in the battle.
At the celebration banquet, Yuan Ke first affirmed Xu Yang's achievements to the soldiers.
"Mr. Xu, you should be the first to contribute to this great victory."
"In the coming days, I, the general, will be the emperor and I will grant you the title of marquis."
He upholds the principle that those who have meritorious service are party to the party, those who have made mistakes are punished, and those who are guilty are killed.
In this battle, Xu Yang strategized and should be rewarded.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Xu Yang cupped his hands and said.
"Come here, bring everything up."
Yuan Ke waved his hand.
"promise!"
Afterwards, Cheng Yaojin carried up a hundred large boxes.
"Open!"
Yuan Ke said again.
A hundred large boxes were opened instantly, and countless pieces of silver appeared in front of the soldiers, which dazzled many people.
"Oh my god, so much silver? How much is it? It's so white."
"My Lord, when he took out this money, could it be said that he wanted to use it to reward us?"
"That's great. I wonder how much I can share. Is it enough for me to go home and marry a young girl?"
...
"The ability to put down Han Sui, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang this time is all due to everyone's hard work. I, Yuan Ke, thank you all."
"Today, I want to make a statement. For all the brothers who follow me, Yuan Ke, I promise that as long as I, Yuan Ke, have meat to eat, I will never let them eat soup. We will share blessings and share hardships."
Yuan Ke announced loudly that he took this opportunity to win over the morale of the army.
"We will follow the Lord to the death."
More than 70,000 people from the three armies immediately shouted loudly.
Yuan Ke waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
After that, the thunderous call immediately stopped.
Yuan Ke has initially established his power among the soldiers, and his five hundred thousand taels of silver are worth it.
"Come here, bring up the two old thieves Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang."
He raised his hand and said.
More than a dozen soldiers escorted the person over.
"My son, Yuan Ke, I am the prefect of Shangdang County appointed by the imperial court. If you kill imperial officials without permission, your majesty and the people of the world will not let you go. The allied forces will cut you into pieces."
Zhang Yang struggled continuously, and he also tried to use the emperor to intimidate Yuan Ke.
As for Wang Kuang, a common man, he is a coward. Relatively speaking, he is more sensible and does not talk nonsense.
"Snapped!"
Yuan Ke raised his hand and slapped Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, please don't use the emperor to oppress this general. I, Yuan Ke, have been ordered by the emperor to quell Han Sui's rebellion. If you and Wang Kuang don't want to serve the imperial court, and collude with Han Sui, and raise an army to invade, I, the general, will kill you." , which is also a matter of course.”
he said coldly.
"Yuan Ke, I am a veteran of three dynasties? You, how dare you slap me? You have no manners, you have no tutor, you are a vulgar person."
"You, you traitor, will not die well."
Zhang Yang is also a man who cares about face. He is a prince and an elder. Now that he was slapped by Yuan Ke, he felt extremely humiliated.
"Old man, why don't you rely on your old age in front of this general?"
"You're not qualified yet."
"Come here, put this man into a prison car. Tomorrow, he will be taken back to Chang'an together with the old thief Wang Kuang and handed over to His Majesty's Holy Judgment."
Yuan Ke said loudly.
He didn't show any favor to Zhang Yang.
Yuan Ke asked people to put Wang Kuang into the prison car.
After everything was done, he found a roster and read it out loud.
"Wang Meng, where is Fang Han?"
clatter!
clatter!
There was a sound of footsteps.
Two burly men strode to the high platform. They raised their hands and said to Yuan Ke: "Meet the Lord!"
"good!"
"good!"
"This time you two are successful in capturing Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang. As promised by the general, you will each be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and promoted to the third rank. From today on, you will be promoted to captains."
"This general hopes that you will continue to work hard and make new achievements in the future."
He raised his hand and asked someone to prepare ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels of silver were like a small mountain. To make it easier for them to carry it, Yuan Ke also had two small carts prepared.
The reason why it was not exchanged for silver notes was to give the officers and soldiers of the three armies present a very vivid and shocking scene, telling them that as long as they were loyal to Yuan Ke and fought bravely for him, it would not be a dream to get promoted and make a fortune.
"promise!"
Wang Meng and Fang Han heard this and knelt down in front of Yuan Ke with great gratitude. They swore to be loyal to Yuan Ke and to make new achievements again.
