According to post-war statistics, the Jin army suffered a total of 3,000 casualties in this battle, and all the remaining soldiers ran out in time. In addition, two thousand soldiers of Cao and Yuan's coalition forces also successfully followed the Jin army and became part of the prisoner of war camp.
While Wang Meng was launching a series of battles around Xiaopingjin and Mengjin, the situation in other places also began to change.
During this period, the two events that most attracted the attention of the world were Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor and Li Xiang's massive attack on Yongliang. In today's world, various forces are launching wars one after another, but most of them are centered on these two places.
During this period of time, the battle situation here in Yuzhou Yuan Shu also changed a lot.
The first is the confrontation between Liu Yu and Pang Juan. After receiving the news that Xiang Yu led his troops to invade Jiangxia, the generals all suggested sending troops and horses to return reinforcements. At this time, the counselor Xie Hui used this to offer Liu Yu advice .
After that, Liu Yu, Wen Zhong, Xie Hui, and Kuai Liang worked together to help Xie Hui perfect his plan just in case.
The next day, Jingzhou Army General Wang Zhene hurriedly led his troops to Jiangxia to support Liu Xiu. The king suppresses evil, loves to read military books, is good at strategy, and is decisive in dealing with things. He is the grandson of Wang Meng, and he was once one of the most famous generals under Liu Yu. Wang Zhene was also among the seventy-two famous generals in the Martial Temple.
After Wang Zhen'e was born, Wang Meng once said, "This is a very special child. Mengchang, Lord Mengchang, and the evil moon were born together, so this child will also prosper our family!" and he personally named him Zhen'e.
Wang Zhene, a famous general of the generation, has a high command level, reaching 97 points. With such ability, it is more than enough to lead an army alone to support Liu Xiu.
The generals on Pang Juan's side were not blind. Naturally, they would not turn a blind eye to the large-scale mobilization of troops and horses on the Jingzhou Army's side. Therefore, the generals headed by Yuan Sheng requested to fight and took this opportunity to attack Liu Yu.
But General Pang Juan chose to wait and see for a few days out of caution. However, as the generals asked for battle again a few days later, Pang Juan finally agreed to fight.
In the past few days, Pang Juan has been paying attention to the enemy's smoke to judge the enemy's strength. On the day when Wang Zhen'e divided his troops, Pang Juan roughly judged based on the smoke conditions that the enemy's stoves could be used by 50,000 people. Wang Zhen'e did indeed divide 30,000 troops as they had found out.
But on the next day, the number of Jingzhou Army's stoves increased back to 80,000, and the soldiers coming in and out of each military camp seemed to be mobilized. On the third day, the number increased to one hundred thousand, and it has remained at one hundred thousand since then.
But the more this happened, Pang Juan believed that the enemy's strength was insufficient, so he adopted this method to confuse his sight. After all, how could Liu Biao continue to send more troops to Liu Yu when the Xiang clan's army was pressing down on the territory.
What happened next seemed to be exactly as Pang Juan expected. In the subsequent battles, Liu Yu lost three battles in a row. Although he only defeated Liu Yu three times by small margins, it undoubtedly made Pang Juan more firm in his judgment and confident.
After tightening the pressure, Pang Juan kept up his efforts and beat Liu Yu back and forth. However, when Pang Juan pursued him to a steep slope, Liu Yu suddenly turned back to fight. During the battle between the two sides, an army suddenly appeared on the steep slope and caught Pang Juan by surprise.
It turned out that among Liu Yu's 80,000-strong army, Liu Yu only ordered Wang Zhen'e to send 10,000 soldiers back to Jiangxia to aid Jiangxia, but he disguised these 10,000 soldiers as a 30,000-strong army.
Later, Liu Yu, Wen Zhong and others used the strategy of increasing the number of stoves, deliberately misleading Pang Juan's judgment, making Pang Juan mistakenly believe that they were adding more stoves because of their guilty conscience. In addition, Liu Yu repeatedly faked defeat, which finally made Pang Juan relax his vigilance and successfully let Pang Juan enter their ambush.
However, Pang Juan's peerless commander-in-chief was obviously not given for free. At the critical moment, Pang Juan ordered Yuan Sheng to lead five thousand cavalry to use personal force to rush directly to Liu Yu's banner in order to disrupt the subordinates of Liu Yu and Wen Zhong.
He himself led a large force to withdraw all the way north, cutting off its tail twice in a row to survive, and then left with more than half of its strength.
In this battle, Pang Juan's 80,000-strong army lost more than 30,000. He only led the defeated army of less than 50,000 to retreat northward, and was able to regroup and look for opportunities to fight again.
In addition to the loss of soldiers, Pang Juan also lost thirteen generals including Qiao Rui, Liu Xun, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Zhang Xun, and Zhang Lingduo. It can be said that he suffered heavy losses.
In addition, although General Yuan Sheng returned from the siege, he was seriously injured and may not be suitable for high-intensity combat in a short period of time. After all, Yuan Sheng is a human being in this life, not a fairy, nor a ghost. Even if he is very powerful, he cannot ignore the opponent's tens of thousands of troops and let him rush to kill them.
However, although Yuan Sheng was injured, he completely showed his power in this battle and achieved considerable results.
In this battle, he first killed Lu Jie and Su Fei, and then led the cavalry to defeat the Cai brothers who led the troops to block him. He killed Cai Zhong and Cai He, and the troops approached the location of Jingzhou Army General Liu Yu.
Seeing that their leader was being targeted by the lunatic Yuan Sheng, how could the Jingzhou army generals give up? Ten generals headed by Wen Zhong attacked and outflanked Yuan Sheng.
All the generals who came to besiege Yuan Sheng were not weak. Needless to say, Wen Zhong, although he was only at the peak of the world, his full strength was no worse than that of weaker generals.
Most of the other generals are peerless generals like Bunpin and Ji Li, and even the weakest one has super-class strength. Among them, Xin Huan, Deng Zhong, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong and others broke out a combination of skills during the battle, taking their strength to a higher level.
But even so, Yuan Sheng still chopped off Liu Yu's banner, killed General Wen (Wen) Da, seriously injured Wen Zhong and Wen Pin, and then broke out with injuries.
However, although Wen Zhong was seriously injured in this battle, after two battles with Yuan Sheng and under tremendous pressure, he, who was already infinitely close to the god level, finally saw the direction of his breakthrough like Yue Lun.
And it was precisely because of this battle that Yuan Sheng attracted the attention of too many generals in the Jingzhou Army. After cutting off Liu Yu's banner, he caused a certain amount of confusion in the Jingzhou Army, which allowed Pang Juan to finally find him. Got the chance to successfully escape from the battlefield.
Yuan Sheng was alone and wounded. How could Liu Yu easily let go of such an opportunity to kill such a powerful enemy. Therefore, several groups of troops were sent out to hunt down Yuan Sheng.
But Yuan Sheng remained heroic. Although he was hit by several arrows again and his injuries worsened again, Yuan Sheng still fought his way out of the siege again and again, and killed Zhang Xian and Zhang Yi again.
