Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 764 Only Fifteen Days to Destroy the Country

Lan Yuan waved his halberd forward, and the soldiers and horses of all the battalions moved according to the order, and followed behind the chariot, shouting to hide and kill.

The war elephants were originally the reliance of Lin Yiguo, but they turned against each other so that people were caught off guard. The holy elephant general Fante puffed up his cheeks and honked, but today's elephants are completely out of control.

The elephants rampaged like hills, smashing Linyi's army to pieces, and Qu Jin drew his sword to kill several deserters, but unfortunately the collapse could not be recovered.

The Zhan people shouted and ran around, but the wide Hoi An River behind them became a stumbling block on their way to escape, but the moment of life and death did not allow them to hesitate, and they dropped their weapons and jumped into the water.

The Han army drove the elephants and Zhan troops into the Hoi An River like a pig.

Zhanren is short, strong and flexible, and most of them can swim, but because Wang Qujin is obese, he hesitates to jump into the river to escape for his life.

Ou Jin called for guards to escort him many times, but unfortunately no one cared about the imminent disaster, and was finally captured alive by Gao Ling who rushed over.

In the Battle of Hoi An River, the Jiaozhou army completely defeated the main force of Linyi, and only a few hundred survived in the water. The war elephant army that the district entered relied on, because the main general was captured by Samoko. After crossing the river, the elephant group broke away from control and went west in twos and threes. side of the forest to escape.

After the battle, Lan Yuan ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time ordered people to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river. He couldn't wait to break through the capital city of Linyi, and wanted to rush back to Guangzhou to report to Lantian as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived at the capital of Linyi. From a distance, they saw that the gates of the city were closed tightly, as if they were planning to fight trapped beasts.

Seeing this, Lan Yuan frowned, "What do these occupying people mean? They still refuse to surrender?"

Yu Fan cupped his hands and replied: "Although we are recovering the territory for the great Han, occupying people's eyes is an act of destroying the country. I guess it will take a lot of work."

"A lot of prisoners have been captured in the past two days. If the monkeys in the city resist stubbornly, 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, won't he cause trouble for Governor Yu?"

"Eh, let them persuade you to surrender if you don't kill them? We can't support idlers," Gao Ling muttered.

Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "Yuanfeng (Gao Ling) is right, you captured the enemy's chieftain, so you take him to the city to try to persuade him to surrender. If you are stubborn, let's fight for a few more days."

"It is said that before Qu entered and left for the expedition, he left his own son Qu Mi to guard the city. He would not be rebellious, would he?" Shamoke asked wonderingly.

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 inferior men. There is no such thing as filial piety."

"Anyway, try it 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 it would not hurt to try.

Gao Ling escorted Ou Jin into the city to persuade him to surrender. The guards on the city wall saw that the king was indifferent. After the two chattered a few words, Gao Yuan noticed that Ou Jin's black face lost all color in an instant. .

Through the interpreter of the accompanying soldiers, the dignified young man on the top of the city is the prince Ou Mi of the Linyi Kingdom. He became the new king after Ou Jin was captured. At this time, Ou Mi no longer recognizes his relatives. He just said that he would live and die with the capital. If Ou Jin continues to persuade him to surrender, he will be shot immediately.

Ou Mi's arrogance stunned Gao Ling, thinking that such an unethical capital would be a disaster in the world, and when he failed to persuade him to surrender and returned to his mission, Lan Yuan was already prepared.

"Since Zhanren is obsessed with obsession, it's time to fight again to let them see the might of the great man Tianwei." Lan Yuan finished speaking seriously, and then ordered Chu Qing: "Chu Sima, immediately send someone to Hoi An Port, and take the remaining The thirty siege vehicles have all been brought in, and what my father said is true, if you want long-term peace and stability, you must rely on force to deter them."

"Wei." Chu Qing cupped his fists and left.

"Yuanfeng (Gao Ling), go and gather the captives. They will attack the city first in the first round. I want to see how cold-blooded Mi Mi is in that area." Lan Yuan frowned.

After hearing this, Sha Moke quickly reminded: "Major General, should he be an ordinary prisoner? It's a pity to die like King Linyi."

Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "Well, the rebel leaders naturally don't need to attack the city, and will leave it to Taishou Yu for public trial in the future. It's a pity to send them to death."

"That's good, that's good, I'll follow along to help." Shamoke smiled and followed behind Gao Ling.

Yu Fan asked in bewilderment: "General Sha is so strange today, he seems to be speaking for the prisoners of war."

Gao Shun shook his head and smiled wryly: "General Sha is protecting his prisoners of war. He accidentally captured General Spirit Snake alive the night before, and captured General Holy Elephant alive yesterday, so he made a crooked idea and wanted to learn how to control snakes and control animals from the Fan brothers." elephant."

"Snake control can only be used as a surprise attack. It has little effect in large-scale battles, but the war elephant army is indeed oppressive and powerful. If Fanxi hadn't finished taming, we might not have gone so smoothly in this battle." Lan Yuan nodded in agreement.

Yu Fanshuo said: "General Sha instantly killed Fan Shanhu, the number one warrior of the Zhan tribe, and instantly became a nightmare in Zhan people's hearts. If General Sha was left in Nichinan to train like a snake, it would definitely ensure the peace of Nichinan County. Who will be left behind?"

Gao Shun frowned and said: "Sir, let me arrange it myself before leaving. After all, the number one warrior of the Zhan tribe is like that. There is no need for the general to stay here. Originally, I suggested that Yuanfeng (Gao Ling) stay for training. Since the prefect Yu has I will discuss this idea with Boyang later.”

"Well, in fact, you don't need to be too forceful. The important thing is to focus on the important affairs of the King of Hanzhong. The old man is confident in controlling Rinan County. After the war, let General Lan transfer some young officials. If it is not enough, let Li Cao select a group." Yu Fan slightly laughed.

When there is an urgent need for employment, it shows the advantages of Jiaozhou's system. The talents trained by the college are willing to serve as officials in remote places because of their humble backgrounds. The less people go, the more opportunities they have.

If Lantian hadn't introduced the system of examination and selection of officials, the recovery of Rinan County would have faced the use of local tyrants, and most of the officials Yu Fan would appoint in the future would only be Zhan aristocrats, which would lay a hidden danger for the rebellion of the Zhan people.

Gao Shun nodded slightly, "Prefect Yu served as the head of Li Cao, and the officials of Li Cao will definitely help you."

While the siege vehicle was being transported, Gao Shun began to attack the city with the captives of the occupying people. Xinwang Qumi ordered that all invaders be merciless on the grounds of subjugation and genocide, and a large number of captives died tragically in the hands of his own people.

On the afternoon of the second day, when 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 an auxiliary attack. Those who break the city remember the first merit.

The four sides started fighting at the same time, all fighting in full swing, and the soldiers and civilians in the city fell into panic in an instant.

In less than half a day, the Zhanren guard at the south gate knew that he would die if he kept guarding. At this time, there was still a chance for Xiancheng to surrender, so he tied the new king to the tower with his followers while Ou Mi was exhausted and fell asleep, and then opened the south gate Dedicate the city to Shamoko.

On April 25th in the third year of Yankang, Linyi Kingdom was captured by the Southern Expedition Army. From the beginning of entering Rinan County to the end of the battle, the battle of destroying the country only took [-] days.
