Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 857 The pattern can be seen in one word
"You want to capture me alive?" Duan Pizhen seemed to have heard something funny, "Do you think you are worthy? That's all..."

But they couldn't continue to say this, because just as the two of them said these two words, the surrounding infantry were still coming out in layers, seemingly endless.

What's even worse is that they have obviously made plans and layouts for the cavalry. Not only are there archers who can shoot at the formation, but the infantry also hold several items that Duan Pixi has never seen before, but relying on With rich battle experience, it can be vaguely seen from the appearance of those objects that this thing is probably specially designed for cavalry operations.

With this understanding, the next situation will be much simpler, because although the cavalry he leads is a direct descendant of the headquarters, they have just suffered a defeat and fled all the way. Their morale was not high, and they were defeated. When the soldiers blocking the road were so frightened, their morale suddenly fell to the bottom.

So when Duan Pixi led his troops and wanted to charge again, he immediately noticed that he was alone and could no longer mobilize the army effectively.

In fact, even if he wants to be transferred, it is no longer that easy.

In order to meet this ambush, Yang Yuan had made preparations in advance. Not only was there a long ditch in front of him, but there were also many other arrangements. This made it difficult for Duan Pixi's team to adapt. .

Just at this time, a loud-voiced lieutenant beside Yang Yuan raised his voice and said: "You should just surrender and capture me. It was difficult to resist Daijun's offensive, so you ran all the way here. If Ran Xiaowei's soldiers and horses catch up, you There is no reason to win at all. Now we are exhausted, and we are at the end of a strong crossbow. How can we resist us? We are recharging our energy here, waiting for work, and we have many advantages. The time, place and people are all right. , the victory is certain. If you resist, it will only increase casualties. What's the point? Moreover, Ran Xiaowei's troops are behind, and my Xiaowei's soldiers are in the front. The situation of a pincer attack from the front and back has been established, and it is difficult for you to spread your wings. Fei, why don't you put down your weapons, my county is a place of benevolence and righteousness, and I will never do any harm!"

This news spread, causing all the cavalrymen behind Duan Pizhen to show hesitation, and all of them had completely lost their thoughts on fighting.

Yes, this is natural. You must know that their cavalry originally found it difficult to resist Ran Zhan's soldiers and horses, so they had to flee. Now that they encounter a fresh force from the opponent, there is no reason to win at all. If If we can win, we had the refugee army in front of us as cannon fodder and the headquarters infantry as a barrier. If we had already won, why wait until now?

For them, what they were most worried about was actually the act of killing prisoners. If they surrendered but were tortured and killed, there would be no explanation. After all, they had often done similar things when marching in the past.

Fortunately, these people also know that Daijun Wuding is a soldier of the Han family. The Han family generally treats captives. It cannot be said to be generous, but at least they will not kill for no reason. Now that they have no fighting spirit, there is no The meaning of fighting is that even if you fight hard, you may not be able to win, so saving your own life becomes the first choice.

After thinking about it, with a "bang", someone finally threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, which immediately started a chain reaction, and heard the sounds of "bang", "bang", and "bang" in succession!
Everyone was shaken, it was difficult to make a decision, and there was a lack of a leader. At this time, the leader appeared, and the others naturally felt impolite. Throwing the weapon in their hands represented a decision.

This cavalry surrendered under heavy external pressure and completely lost its combat capability.

"Okay, okay!" Duan Pizhen noticed that even his adjutants around him had no fighting spirit. He couldn't help but laugh miserably, "I didn't expect that I would be trapped and die here. It's really unbelievable that I led the troops out with high spirits this time. , but as a result, we have never fought a real battle and ended up in this situation. How can we live in this world?!" At this point, he suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and put it on his neck.

When the deputy general next to him saw it, he quickly got off his horse and came to fight for it.

At this moment, Yang Yuan suddenly said: "Mr. Duan, it is normal for you to be unwilling and dissatisfied. However, you are not an ordinary person and have great ambitions in your lifetime. You have great ambitions. Once you die, there will be nothing, and it will be difficult to leave a name in history. It is a waste of all your abilities. What's more, you are a high-ranking nobleman from Xianbei of Duan tribe. You had the opportunity to lead an army and do the next best thing for the Shanyu and the leader. Your achievements will remain in history, why should you end yourself here?" These words are normal, but when they fell into Duan Pixun's ears, his movements suddenly froze in mid-step, and the expression on his face also changed. A look of struggle emerged.

When Yang Yuan saw this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because what he was saying now was actually told by Chen Zhi. At most, Yang Yuan just followed Chen Zhi's meaning, organized it in his own words, and then said it out. Unexpectedly, As soon as he spoke, Duan Pixi, who seemed to be in a state of passion, was persuaded.

Thinking of Chen Zhi's strategic plan, Yang Yuan's heart moved, and he continued: "This battle, ambushing both front and rear, is the victory over Duan Jun, but in history, it is not a big event, and it may not be passed down. , even if it is spread, what Brother Duan did will still be laughed at, you have been a hero, do you want to leave in this way and leave such a reputation?"

"Are you laughing at me?" Duan Pixi stayed still and looked at Yang Yuan coldly.

At this time, his two lieutenants finally ran over, one grabbed the reins, the other fought hard, and took the long knife back from Duan Pilu's hand. Many people wanted to die, but it was a moment of anger and emotion. Yes, after a while, reason regained the upper hand, and the desire to die faded away.

Yang Yuan didn't mean to add fuel to the fire, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Duan Jun misunderstood. I mean, if a person is alive, he has many possibilities and can change his reputation. If he dies, it will be the last word. What's more, What's more, the situation in today's battle is clear. You must also know that not only your group, but also the other Youzhou troops will be defeated one by one. By then, they may be able to blame you. After all, dead people, It’s indistinguishable.”

Duan Pixi narrowed his eyes and said no more.

As his general also gave up resistance, this cavalry group was taken down without any bloodshed, and many soldiers went over to take them into custody.

A lieutenant beside Yang Yuan hurried over and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel, it is a great achievement to defeat the enemy without fighting!"

Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "This is not my credit. If we take it by force, Ran Zhan will not stop fighting. He led the attack and defeated the enemy, so he could have such a great victory. What's more, this victory was won step by step. It's up to the master and the temple to anticipate the enemy first, not our abilities. I want to gain merit, but I don't bother to take advantage of others. I want to defeat him with my own sword and gun. There are many opportunities now, so don't worry."

After finishing his words, he turned around and said, "Give me the order and ask the Youzhou prisoners to take off their robes!"

At this time, Duan Pixi, who was being held, happened to be passing by not far away. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but take a breath, then he narrowed his eyes and squeezed out a few words through his teeth -

"General Zhengbei has such a big appetite! What courage! Before, I felt that I was being attacked and ambushed by someone, and I felt dissatisfied. But now it seems that I am in a different situation from General Zhengbei!"
