Jianmenguan, upstairs in the south city.
"kill!"
Wu Yizheng was about to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the city and open the city gate. By then, the army outside the city would enter the city, and even if reinforcements from Yuan Ke's army arrived, it would be of no avail.
It's just that he underestimated Yuan Ke's bravery and prowess. He only stood there alone, but he seemed to be able to withstand thousands of troops. He led his army to charge several times, but failed to rush over. Instead, he lost many troops.
"Kill the enemy!"
Not long after, 30,000 soldiers and horses sent by Di Qing came to the city.
Thirty thousand troops and horses came to the rescue, immediately reversing the situation. Sima Shang, Yang Ling, and Fu Heng led their troops to the city tower respectively. The main reason was that the troops and horses coming to the rescue this time had archers and they had enough arrows.
"Fire the arrow!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A round of arrows rained down, and an unknown number of Yizhou soldiers were killed, and the Yizhou army began to collapse.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
A large number of soldiers and horses came.
"kill!"
After that, they began to massacre the Yizhou Army outside the city, causing heavy casualties to the Yizhou Army.
"withdraw!"
"Woo-"
Zhang Ren, the coach of the central camp, saw that the situation was over and could only withdraw his troops.
Wu Yi could only lead his troops to evacuate.
This battle was fought with great reluctance, but there was nothing that could be done.
It didn't take long before Yuan Kejun finally secured Jianmen.
"we won!"
"Won!"
The three armies are invigorated.
"God help me!"
Yuan Ke was also full of joy, saying that the reinforcements for this battle came just in time.
After all the dust settled, Sima Shang, Yang Ling, and Fu Heng personally led their troops to visit Yuan Ke.
"Hail, Lord!"
"alright!"
"Get up."
"Today you rescued us in time and made a great contribution."
Yuan Ke praised.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Next, Yuan Ke asked people to count them.
In this battle, more than 38,000 enemy troops were killed, and more than 9,000 of our own troops were lost, resulting in heavy casualties.
The new army of Longxiang Camp has limited combat power.
"Report!"
"My lord, General Cheng's 20,000 troops and horses were just discovered outside the city and are here too."
A scout rushed over and reported to Yuan Ke.
"Oh? Cheng Yaojin is here too? This is great."
"Let's rob the camp tonight."
Yuan Ke was overjoyed when he heard this.
"promise!"
Sima Shang, Yang Ling, Fu Heng and others immediately agreed.
Today, there are about 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jianmen Pass. The strength of the troops at this time is not very different from that of the Yizhou Army.
Soon Cheng Yaojin's army and horses also arrived.
When the three armies joined together, their power immediately increased a lot.
"Cheng Yaojin pays homage to the Lord!"
As soon as night fell, Yuan Ke personally led 40,000 troops and horses, and he left 10,000 troops and horses in Jianmen Pass.
Before the action, he sent Cao Xiong and his men to take out all the open and hidden posts of the Yizhou Army.
After that, they broke into the camp of the Yizhou Army, set fire to the camp, and launched an attack. The Yizhou Army was in chaos, and Zhang Ren did not expect that Yuan Ke would come to rob the camp.
After all, Yuan Ke's army suffered heavy casualties during the day.
According to common sense, Yuan Ke should choose to recuperate, but unexpectedly, the other party did not follow common sense and actually sent troops to rob the camp, which he did not expect.
"Come here, tell Feixiong Camp to take action and take charge of the rear."
"The army retreats across the board!"
"Retreat to Zitong!"
Zhang Ren is also a decisive person.
He understood that in the battle of Jianmen Pass, nothing could be done, so he retreated quickly.
He will rely on Fulishui in Zitong to build a new line of defense.
"yes!"
The Three Thousand Flying Bear Battalion is the elite of the Dongzhou Army. It is a cavalry battalion. Under the interception of the Flying Bear Battalion, it also buys the army time to retreat.
"Fight to the death!"
Zhang Luo, the captain of Feixiong Camp, personally led the team to intercept Yuan Ke's invasion.
"kill!"
Feixiongying came to kill Yuan Ke.
They are all elite members of the Dongzhou Army, good at riding and fighting, and brave.
Yuan Ke was leading people to cover up the Yizhou Army's retreating army, but was intercepted by Feixiong Camp halfway.
The two sides fought over this.
"kill!"
Yuan Ke grasped the Tianlong city-breaking halberd in his hand and immediately waved it to fight.
"rush!"
"Kill Yuan Ke!"
Zhang Luo fought with Yuan Ke with a gun.
The two sides fought for two rounds. Zhang Luo knew that he was no match for him and immediately led his troops to fight Yuan Ke in a wheel battle.
"kill!"
Generals such as Sima Shang, Yang Ling, Fu Heng and Jing Tianming each led an army to kill the defeated Yizhou Army. They covered up the enemy's attack along the way and killed many enemies.
Zhang Luo fought Yuan Ke for half an hour, buying time for the main force of the Yizhou Army to retreat.
However, everyone in the Flying Bear Camp was wiped out.
"Wow!!"
A euphorbia pierced Zhang Luo's chest. Zhang Luo kept coughing up blood. He was extremely weak at this time and could not even speak.
"Zhang Luo, your Flying Bear Battalion has won the respect of this commander. You are doing a good job."
After saying these words, Zhang Luo just died in front of the battle.
He died in peace.
A good man is wrapped in horse leather, and there are no cowards in their Flying Bear Camp.
"Lord, should we still pursue you?"
A young general came to inquire.
"Zhang Ren is probably far away at this time. The success of the operation tonight is due to surprise. Now, although many Yizhou troops have been killed, Zhang Ren's main force is still there. We cannot underestimate the enemy."
"Send orders to the generals to return to the city!"
Yuan Ke did not lead his army to continue the killing.
"yes!"
Half an hour later, the troops returned to the city, but the only thing missing was the three thousand soldiers and horses led by Sima Shang.
"What? Sima Shang didn't obey the military orders, so he led the army to hunt down Zhang Ren alone?"
"Damn it!"
"I killed him."
As soon as he heard that Sima Shang disobeyed military orders and acted without permission, Yuan Ke was immediately furious. Especially when he heard that Sima Shang personally led three thousand soldiers and horses, he was even more furious.
He understood that it was too late to send troops to rescue Sima Shang.
"Report!"
"My Lord, there is a military report from the front. General Sima's troops were ambushed by the Yizhou Army on the banks of the Tongshui River, and the entire army was wiped out."
"General Sima died in battle."
A military report made Yuan Ke's worries come true.
When he heard this, he threw away all the general reports.
"Sima Shang harmed three thousand of my brothers, he deserves to die."
He was extremely angry.
He just waited for him to calm down, but did not pursue the issue of Sima Shang, because Sima Shang also had military merit, and he could not erase Sima Shang's merits just because he lost the battle.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
In the meeting hall inside Jianmen Pass, Yuan Ke tapped his fingers gently on the table, thinking about a solution.
After a while, he had an idea.
"Choose Sima Shang as General Anyuan and Marquis of Fuyang, and his legitimate son will inherit the title."
"The Lord is wise!"
As for the three thousand soldiers who died in the battle, Yuan Ke also compensated them several times. At the same time, he also asked people to register the names of the fallen soldiers in a register so that they could be used to take care of their families in the future.
.......
"Young Yuan Ke, you are extremely hateful."
On the banks of the Fushui River, in Zitong City, Zhang Ren, who had just led his army to station here, was slapping the table crazily.
Several battles were lost and casualties were huge.
When he first came, he had 110,000 soldiers and horses. Now after several battles, the Yizhou army has lost more than 50,000 people, and he has less than 60,000 capable soldiers.
"Zhang Shuai, we have lost several battles not because of our fault, but because Yuan Ke's army is too difficult to deal with, especially Yuan Ke, the traitor. He is extremely powerful and is a formidable enemy."
"Several of our troops fell into his hands."
"He's absolutely disgusting."
Li Hui said.
"This matter is beyond my expectation. Yuan Ke is so powerful. Before, I said that Yuan Ke's defeat of Lu Bu was just a rumor."
"Now it seems that even if Lu Bu comes in person, he won't be as difficult as Yuan Ke."
"Next, we should be on the defensive."
Zhang Ren understood that the 60,000 troops and horses he had now were not enough to fight Yuan Ke head-on, so he could only switch from offense to defense.
"Shuai Zhang, we should ask the prince for orders and ask him to send more troops. I speculate that Yuan Ke will attack Zitong in a large scale next."
"Once Zitong makes a mistake and allows Yuan Ke's army to cross the Fushui River, no one will be able to stop Yuan Ke. Then our army will be in danger, and Chengdu will also be in danger."
"Yuan Ke is traveling long distances to fight, and the army's food and grass consumption is extremely large. It is impossible for him to fight a protracted war with us."
"We only need to strengthen the walls and clear the country, and when they run out of food, we will retreat without attacking."
Li Hui offered his advice.
"Now it seems that this is all we can do."
Hearing this, Zhang Ren also understood that this was the only way at the moment.
They must defend the Fushui River.
"Wu Yi, you will go to Chengdu and personally explain the situation of our army to the prince. You must persuade the prince to send troops to support our army."
Zhang Ren said.
"promise!"
Wu Yi handed over his hand and accepted the order.
Afterwards, he led hundreds of people and rushed towards Chengdu.
