Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 575
Chapter 576: The Battle of Xiapi
"Send the order, the whole army retreats!" Kou Fei saw that Deng Jun suddenly strengthened his offensive, so he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly ordered the whole army to retreat, and at the same time, he had people destroy the fortifications, so as to hinder Deng Jun and try to get as many people as possible to retreat. time.

With Kou Fei's order, tens of thousands of Zhao troops quickly retreated, but Deng Jun was chasing after him. Kou Fei had to arrange a group of troops to fight to the death, and then he got rid of Deng Jun's pursuit.

With the broken soldiers and horses, Deng Jun was unable to continue to pursue, and could only wipe out these broken Zhao troops first.

"General, Zhao Jun is not far away. If we pursue it with all our strength now, we will still be able to catch up." Li Siye came to Yang Yanzhao's side and said, after annihilating Zhao Jun's remaining troops, Li Siye proposed to continue the pursuit.

But Yang Yanzhao shook his head and said: "No, right now Xiang Quan and others are under a lot of pressure on Zushui, even if we can catch up with Kou Fei, it will take a lot of time to wipe him out. When Kou Fei was wiped out, Xiang Quan and others had already been defeated, so there was no need to pursue them, just drive Kou Fei to Zushui, and then together they wiped out Kou Fei and Zhang Jie."

"Here!" After clearing the battlefield, Yang Yanzhao led his troops to march towards Zushui again.

On the other hand, Kou Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Deng Jun did not pursue with all his strength, but the speed of retreat did not slow down. After all, only after crossing the Zushui can he be truly safe.

At this time, Zushui was a purgatory on earth. There was a bloody battle between the two sides, and the casualties were very heavy. Although Xiang Quan and Yu Qi's troops were not as good as Zhao Jun, they were still very tenacious. The generals like Qi went into battle in person and blocked the Zhao army, but their own casualties were also very heavy, with 5 horses, and now there are less than 2 left, but they also killed more than [-] elite Zhao troops.

"General Xiang, our army suffered too many casualties. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold back for too long. When will Yang Hussars arrive?" Yu Qi was panting, her whole body was stained red with blood. It was obvious that she had gone through an extremely difficult bloody battle.

"Don't worry, General Yu, we have been blocked here for almost a day, and it will soon be night. After nightfall, Zhao Jun will slow down his offensive, and we will be able to get a chance to breathe. After dawn, Yang Huanqi's army will come It will be here." Xiang Quan also said with difficulty, to be honest, he didn't know when Yang Yanzhao would arrive, but at this time, he had to hold Yu Qi steady and not let him retreat, otherwise he really couldn't stop up.

Regarding Xiang Quan's words, Yu Qi is also skeptical, but now that he has boarded Xiang Quan's thief ship, it is impossible to go down. If he really retreats, not only Deng Jun will not let him go, but even Zhao Jun will not let him go. I won't make myself feel better.

"General, it will be night soon. Once night falls, it will have a great impact on our army. Besides, our soldiers will be very tired after a day of fierce fighting, and the casualties will be heavy. If we continue to fight, we may not be able to break through the rebellious army." For the defense line, it is better to stop for the time being and launch an offensive after dawn." Zhao Jun was also exhausted, so Ye Lun suggested to Zhang Jie to stop attacking temporarily and launch an offensive after dawn.

At this time, Zhang Jie's face was also very ugly. It was a great shame and shame that his hundred thousand elites were blocked in Zushui for a day by tens of thousands of mobs. For a moment, Zhang Jie really wanted to launch a fierce attack regardless, but Ye Lun was also quite right. The physical strength of the soldiers of the Zhao army had reached their limits, and the casualties would only increase if they continued to fight, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let the soldiers withdraw and rest on the spot. After dawn, break through the defense line of the disorderly army in one go."

"Here!" Ye Lun also heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhang Jie's brain would get hot and he would attack overnight. Even though he did this, he could still wipe out these chaotic troops, but the final casualties must be not small. With 10,000 elites behind to block the main force of the Deng army, even if they can withdraw, there will not be too many troops left. If the loss here is relatively large, even if they can retreat to Liangcheng, they will not have the same strength as the [-]+ Deng army. against.

With Zhang Jie's consent, Zhao Jun's side quickly called for gold to withdraw their troops. After Zhao Jun's retreat, Zhao Jun's soldiers retreated from the battlefield one after another.

However, Xiang Quan immediately rebuilt the defense line, because he knew that Zhao Jun was only temporarily stopping the attack. After dawn, he would definitely launch a more violent attack, so he had to seize the time to rebuild the defense line.

There was nothing to say all night, after dawn, Zhao Jun reorganized the offensive, and invested more troops than yesterday, and broke through the defense line with great vigor.

Xiang Quan stood in front of the formation with a big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, Zhao Jun is here again. Success or failure depends on this battle. I will be with you. Yang Huqi's reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we resist again After some time, when Yang Hussars' army arrives, it will be the end of Zhao Jun, do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Fight with Zhao Jun!" Although before the battle, the troops under Xiang Quan and Yu Qi's command were a motley mob, but after yesterday's bloody battle, only the elite survived Although the elites in the army are still inferior to Zhao Jun in terms of strength, they are not inferior to Zhao Jun in terms of combat awareness.

"Hmph!" Zhang Jie looked at the defeated generals in the Zushui, and said indifferently: "The mantis is used as a chariot, and the light of the firefly dares to compete with the bright moon. Send an order, and the whole army will attack. Within two hours, I am going to pass the battle." Zushui!"

"Here! Kill!" After Ye Lun took the order, he pointed his spear, and tens of thousands of Zhao troops rushed towards Zushui. Xiang Quan and Yu Qi also greeted Zhao Jun with a look of death, and the two sides fought again. There was a bloody battle.

Zhang Jie originally thought that the current enemy army was just at the end of its strength, and that its defeat was only a matter of time, so he uttered the big talk about crossing the Zushui in two hours, but when he fought, he found that the facts were different from what he thought. Quan and the others were still very embarrassed, but they blocked Zhao Jun firmly, and it was difficult for tens of thousands of Zhao Jun to advance even if they attacked fiercely.

An hour later, there were only ten thousand soldiers left by Xiang Quan and others, but Zhao Jun still couldn't break through. At this time, a group of Zhao Jun appeared behind, and the broken soldiers led by Kou Fei came to Zushui However, compared with the [-] soldiers and horses left behind, Kou Fei brought a lot less soldiers and horses, only a little over [-].

Kou Fei, who came from behind, was very puzzled to see Zhang Jie who was still on the south bank of Zushui. It stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't Zhang Jie meet him on the north bank?Why are you still here?When he saw the fierce battle above Zushui, he immediately understood that Deng Jun had already seen their intentions, and arranged soldiers and horses to block them here in advance, and Zhang Jie was blocked by this group of enemy troops. In Zushui.

Kou Fei came to Zhang Jie and asked anxiously: "General Zhang, what's going on? Why haven't you crossed the Zushui yet? The main force of the Deng army led by Yang Yanzhao stayed behind us, and they would chase after us in half an hour. Come up, we have to cross the Ancestral Water as soon as possible, otherwise we will die here."

Zhang Jie said with a gloomy face: "We were blocked in Zushui for a day and a night by the rebel army led by Xiang Quan and Yu Qi, but now the rebellion army is at the end of its strength, please General Kou to send troops immediately With help, we will definitely break through in half an hour."

Kou Fei was also very helpless when he heard the words, but he had no choice but to do so, and sent Shi Shideng to lead the army to join the battlefield, hoping to cross the Zushui as soon as possible.

"General, Zhao's reinforcements have arrived!" On the Zushui, after Dong Ning found Kou Fei's army appeared, he hurriedly came to Xiang Quan's side and said.

Xiang Quan nodded, and he saw it too, but at this moment, Xiang Quan was not panicked at all, because since Kou Fei's army appeared, it meant that the main force led by Yang Yanzhao was not far away.

"This is Kou Fei's army. Once he arrives, it means that all the Zhao troops in Xiapi County and Pengcheng County have arrived, which means that Yang Hussar's army is not far away. As long as we persist, then we You've won." Xiang Quan clenched his teeth and said, now he can't do much except resist desperately.

With the addition of Kou Fei's army, Xiang Quan and Yu Qi's soldiers were beaten to pieces, and they were about to lose their strength. At this time, a group of cavalry appeared from behind and came straight to Zushui , the leaders are Yongping General Guan Ling and Tiger Wing General Gao Siji.

The thing is this, when approaching Zushui, Yang Yanzhao feared that Xiang Quan and others would not be able to hold on after Kou Fei arrived, so all the cavalry in the general assembled, led by Gao Siji and Guan Ling Going to Zushui first, with these cavalry participating in the battle, the pressure on Xiang Quan and others will be reduced a lot, and he will lead the main force from behind.

"General Xiang, don't panic, Guan Ling is here!" Guan Ling took the lead and rushed into the battlefield. Gao Siji was also a man of few words, so he went straight in. These two big brothers are the world's first-class fierce generals. Entering the flock, wherever you go, there are people rolling around.

After hearing Guan Ling's voice, Xiang Quan was overjoyed and said loudly: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, and I will fight Zhao Jun with this general!"

As soon as Deng Jun's cavalry arrived, Zhao Jun was caught off guard, and was quickly beaten back and forth. Finally, the situation was stabilized. Zhang Jie and Kou Fei were very anxious when they saw this. Deng Jun's cavalry had arrived, and Yang Yanzhao's Will the main force be far behind?We must cross the Zushui River as soon as possible, so we stepped up the offensive again. Deng Jun has cavalry, and Zhao Jun also has cavalry, and their strength is still higher than Deng Jun. In a fight, Deng Jun's cavalry is definitely not an opponent, so Zhang Jie and his generals gathered cavalry , led by Shi Shideng to face the Deng Jun cavalry.

However, with the addition of this new force, it is impossible for Zhao Jun to completely suppress Deng Jun. The two sides fought back and forth, very anxious.

Two quarters of an hour later, the main force led by Yang Yanzhao finally arrived at the battlefield. The moment they saw Yang Yanzhao appear, Zhang Jie and Kou Fei knew that they had nowhere to go, so they rang the bell. Voice, let the army withdraw, intending to start the final decisive battle with Deng Jun.

The two sides that were fighting fiercely just now also stopped in tacit understanding. Yang Yanzhao rode out and said to Zhang Jie and Kou Fei, "You two, the overall situation has been settled. Do you want to fight stubbornly? I will fight against you. I appreciate it very much, and my Great Deng is also eager for talents, if you can give up your weapons and surrender, I will recommend you to the position of General of the First Guard, and it is not impossible to be the General of the First Guard in the future."

Zhang Jie replied with a wry smile: "Yang Yanzhao, don't even think about it. This general admits that I did underestimate you before, but if you think you are sure of this general, then you are very wrong. You have 10,000+ people, and this general here There are also [-] elites, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose."

"That's right!" Kou Fei also said: "As a general of the Great Zhao, we are supposed to serve the country loyally. How can we succumb to mere fame and fortune? My Great Zhao only has beheaded generals, and there are no generals who surrender. Let the horse come here!"

"I don't know how stubborn you are! If that's the case, then I will fulfill you, pass the order down, and I will kill you!" Yang Yanzhao sneered.

"Kill!" Yang Yanzhao gave an order, and tens of thousands of Deng Jun rushed towards Zhao Jun frantically, but Zhao Jun also had hundreds of thousands. If he wanted to wipe out all these Zhao Jun, Deng Jun would have to pay a very high price. , so Yang Yanzhao planned to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and let Gao Sji, Pang De, Guan Ling, Zhou Tai and other generals go straight to Kou Fei, Zhang Jie, Ye Lun, Shi Shideng and other Zhao Jun generals. If he is killed, Zhao Jun will be leaderless.

After half a day of bloody battle, Kou Fei died in the hands of Guan Ling, Zhang Jie died in the hands of Gao Siji, Ye Lun and Shi Shideng also died in the hands of Pang De and Zhou Tai, and other generals of the Zhao army were also killed by Deng Xiaoping. The fierce generals of the army were beheaded one by one. While all the generals died in battle one after another, Zhao Jun also lost the courage to resist and surrendered one after another.

In this battle, Deng Jun suffered 11 casualties, but nearly 5 of them were soldiers under Xiang Quan and Yu Qi. General Kou Fei, Zhang Jie, Shi Shideng, Ye Lun and others can be said to have won a complete victory.

After this battle, Deng Jun also basically wiped out the main force of Zhao Jun on the Eastern Front, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the Central Plains War.
