Lan Yuan waved his halberd forward, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion moved according to the order, following the chariot and shouting to cover up the enemy.
The war elephant was originally the support of the Lin Yi Kingdom, but it turned out to be unexpected. The holy elephant general Fante puffed up his cheeks and whistled, but today the elephant was completely out of control.
The elephants rushed like a hill, smashing Lin Yi's army into pieces. Ou Jin drew his sword and killed several deserters, but unfortunately it was impossible to restore the collapse.
The people ran around shouting, but the wide Hoi An River behind them became a stumbling block on their way to escape. However, at the critical moment of life and death, they did not allow them to hesitate, so they threw away their weapons and jumped into the water.
The Han army drove the elephants and occupying troops into the Hoi An River like pigs. The battlefield situation was one-sided from the beginning, with countless corpses lying on the grassland north of the river.
Zhan people are short, strong and agile, and most of them can swim. However, Wang Qujin did not dare to jump into the river to escape because of his obesity.
Ou Jin repeatedly called for guards to escort him, but unfortunately no one cared about it when the disaster was approaching. In the end, he was captured alive by Gao Ling.
In the Battle of Hoi An River, the Jiaozhou Army completely defeated the main force of Linyi, and only a few hundred people survived after being thrown into the water. The war elephant regiment that Chujin relied on was captured by Samoko. The elephants broke away from control after crossing the river, and headed west in twos and threes. Escape from the forest on the side.
After the battle, Lan Yuan ordered people to clean up the battlefield and build a floating bridge to cross the river. He couldn't wait to break the Linyi capital and wanted to rush back to Guangzhou as soon as possible to return to Lantian.
In the afternoon of the next day, the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived at the capital city of Linyi. From a distance, they saw that the city gate was closed tightly, as if they were planning to fight a trapped beast.
Lan Yuan frowned when he saw this, "What do these people mean? They still refuse to surrender even after being beaten?"
Yu Fan cupped his hands and replied: "Although we are regaining the territory for the Han Dynasty, in the eyes of the Zhan people, it is an act of annihilation. It will probably take a lot of effort."
"We have captured a lot of prisoners in the past two days. If the monkeys in the city resist, we will kill them all." Gao Ling clenched his fists.
Gao Shun frowned and said: "Boyang hasn't spoken yet, so don't talk nonsense. If he just kills blindly, won't he bring trouble to Prefect Yu?"
"Uh... If we don't kill them, let them persuade them to surrender, right? We can't raise idle people..." Gao Ling muttered.
Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "Yuanfeng (Gaoling) is right. You captured the enemy chieftain Jin, so you take him to the city to try to persuade him to surrender. It is best to be able to break the city without bloodshed, but if the opponent It’s stubborn, let’s fight for a few more days and it will be over.”
"It is said that Ou Mi left his own son Ou Mi to guard the city before entering and leaving the army. He wouldn't be treasonous, right?" Shamoko asked in confusion.
Yu Fan shook his head and replied: "The customs of occupying people are very different from those in the Central Plains, and they follow the tradition of noble women and low men. There is no such thing as filial piety..."
"Anyway, let's give it a try first." Lan Yuan nodded lightly. He had interrogated many prisoners in the past two days, and the answers he got were similar to Yu Fan's, but he would never suffer a loss if he gave them a try.
Gao Ling escorted Qu Jin to the city to persuade him to surrender. The guard on the city wall saw that the king was indifferent. After the two of them chatted for a few words, Gao Yuan found that Qu Jin's black face lost all color in an instant. After a brief shock, the other party shouted to leave the city. .
After being translated by the escort nearby, it was revealed that the young man in majestic clothes on the top of the city was none other than Ou Mi, the prince of Lin Yi State. He became the new king after Ou Jin was captured. At this time, Ou Mi had disowned all his relatives. He had just stated that he wanted to live and die with the capital. , if Ou Jin continues to persuade him to surrender, he will be shot immediately.
Gao Ling was stunned by Ou Mi's strength. He thought that the existence of such a capital without ethics would be a disaster in the world. When he failed to persuade him to surrender and returned to life, Lan Yuan was already mentally prepared.
"Since the Zhan people are stubborn, it's time to fight again to show them the power of the Han Dynasty." Lan Yuan finished speaking with a serious face, and then ordered Chu Qing: "Chu Sima, immediately send people to Hoi An Port to collect the remaining people on the ship. The thirty siege engines will be brought here. What my father said is true. If you want long-term peace and stability, you must rely on force to intimidate us."
"Wei." Chu Qing clasped his fists and left.
"Yuanfeng (Gaoling), go gather the prisoners. They will attack the city first. I want to see how cold-blooded that district is." Lan Yuan frowned.
After hearing this, Shamoko quickly reminded: "Major General, he should be an ordinary prisoner, right? It would be a pity for someone like King Lin Yi to die..."
Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "Well, the rebel leaders naturally don't have to attack the city. They will be left to the public trial of Prefect Yu in the future. It would be a pity to send them to death..."
"That's good, that's good. I'll go and help too." Shamoke laughed and followed Gao Ling.
Yu Fan asked in confusion: "General Sha is so strange today. He seems to be speaking for the prisoners of war..."
Gao Shun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Sha was protecting his prisoners of war. He accidentally captured General Spirit Snake alive the night before, and captured General Elephant alive yesterday, so he made a crooked idea to learn snake control and snake control from the Fan brothers. elephant..."
"Snake control can only be used as a surprise attack, and has little effect when fighting in large groups. However, the war elephant army is indeed oppressive and powerful. If Fanxi hadn't completed the taming, we might not have gone so smoothly in this battle." Lan Yuan nodded in agreement.
Yu Fan stroked his beard and said: "General Sha killed Fan Shanhu, the first warrior of the Cham tribe, and instantly became a nightmare in the hearts of the Cham people. If General Sha is left in Rinan to train elephants and play snakes, we can definitely guarantee the peace of Rinan County. I don't know if General Lan will fight against him." Who will be left behind?"
Gao Shun frowned and said: "Sir, let me make my own arrangements before leaving. After all, the first warrior of the Cham tribe is just like that. There is no need for the general to stay here. Originally, I suggested that Yuanfeng (Gaoling) stay here to gain experience. Since Governor Yu has I will discuss this idea with Boyang later. "
"Well, actually, you don't have to force yourself too much. We should focus on the important affairs of the King of Hanzhong. I am confident in controlling Rinan County. After the war, just ask General Lan to transfer some young officials. If there is not enough, let Cao Li select a group." Yu Fan said slightly. smiled.
When there is an urgent need for employment, Jiaozhou's institutional advantages are highlighted. Talents trained intensively by the college are willing to serve as officials in remote places because of their humble background. The less people there, the more opportunities they have.
If Lantian had not introduced the system of examination and selection of officials, the recapture of Rinan County would have required the use of local powerful men. Most of the officials Yu Fan would appoint in the future could only be Cham nobles, which would lay hidden dangers for the Cham people to revolt.
Gao Shun nodded slightly, "Prefect Yu has served as the head of Li Cao. The officials of Li Cao will definitely help you..."
While the siege vehicle was being transported, Gao Shun used captured prisoners to attack the city. On the grounds of national subjugation and genocide, the new king ordered to be merciless to all invaders, and a large number of prisoners died tragically in the hands of his own people.
On the afternoon of the second day, the siege vehicles arrived at the battlefield. Lan Yuan did not adopt the tactic of encircling three and missing one. He did not set up a main attack and auxiliary attacks. Instead, he divided the equipment into four parts and ordered the four generals of the east, west, north, and south to fight on their own. In the end, the first The one who breaks the city will be credited with the first achievement.
The four armies started fighting at the same time, and they were all fighting fiercely. The soldiers and civilians in the city immediately fell into panic.
In less than half a day, the general guarding the south gate knew that he would die if he held on. At this time, there was still a chance of surrender. So while Ou Mi was tired and sleeping, he and his entourage tied the new king to the tower, and then opened the south gate. Present the city to Samoko.
On April 25th of the third year of Yankang, the capital of Linyi was captured by the Southern Expeditionary Army. From the time they entered Rinan County to the end of the battle, the battle to destroy the country only took fifteen days.
