"If we persuade one more cavalryman to surrender today, in the future, Brother Zilong will have one more subordinate."

"Why not do it?"

Chapter 55 Postwar

"General Shenwu, I will surrender, I will surrender!"

……

With the first Xiliang soldier kneeling down and begging for his life, the entire Anyi siege came to an end.

After several hours of fighting, the first dawn of the East broke through, and the coalition forces of the princes completely occupied Anyi, the most important town in Hedong County.

And after Zhang Yan entered the Hedong Taishou Mansion for the second time, he immediately asked about the result of the night battle last night.

To Zhang Yan's surprise, although the person with the most meritorious service in the army last night was Pei Yuanshao, who had broken the city, the second one was neither Li Le nor Hu Cai, nor was he the one who advanced earlier. Yang Feng of the city.

The credit for capturing the enemy's general fell to Zhao Yun, who had just joined Zhang Yan's command.

……

Just last night, after Fan Chou knew about Li Su's big mistake, he immediately gathered the Xiliang iron cavalry under his command, charged out from the west gate of Anyi, and fled desperately towards Luoyang.

It's just a pity, because it was late at night, which is the most tiring time of the day for ordinary people, so even the most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty took half an hour to assemble.

What can half an hour do?

Enough for the allied forces of the princes to enter the city;

Enough for the allied forces of the princes to find the barracks of the Xiliang cavalry;

It was enough for the allied forces of the princes to surround these guys in their own barracks before they could react.

……

Limited by the interference of external forces, even though Fan Chou had tried his best to gather troops, when he was about to set out to break through, there were only more than 3000 Xiliang cavalry around him.

The remaining troops were all blocked in the camp by the besieging soldiers.

And the more than 5000 infantry under Yang Feng's command watched the excitement in the nearby barracks all the time, and none of them went to help.

Anyway, their chief general, Yang Feng, didn't say anything, and the soldiers outside didn't intend to attack him. Naturally, they didn't have any resistance at all, so they were controlled by the army that followed into the city.

……

In this way, after gathering more than 3000 cavalry, Fan Chou led his men to kill through the defenders at the west gate, and ran along the road all the way.

It's just that he didn't expect that even the Kanto princes, who were not worth mentioning in his eyes at the beginning, had an organized cavalry unit under their command.

What's more terrible, this cavalry unit is well-equipped and well-trained, and they have obtained a large number of Mongolian horses as mounts from nowhere.

Mongolian horses are different from Western Region horses. Although they do not have much advantage in short-distance charges and sprints, if compared with endurance, even Liaodong horses may not be enough to carry shoes for these Mongolian horses.

Half an hour before the start of the chase, the Xiliang cavalry on Fan Chou's side rode Juechen, almost pulling away thousands of meters from the pursuers at one point.

But as time gradually increased, the endurance advantage of Mongolian horses began to play a role.

In Fan Chou's army, there were cavalrymen from time to time at the beginning who were overturned on the side of the road by the fallen mounts because their horses lost strength.

What's more, the horse directly foamed at the mouth due to cardiopulmonary failure, and died on the spot, and even the rider on it fell in the chaos of the army, and was trampled by many soldiers who passed behind. Turned into mud.

Now, no one dared to run like before.

……

If he continued to run, the horses under him would be exhausted, and he would die on the spot.

And what if you put down your arms and surrender?

……

No one gave an answer at this time, but it was visible to the naked eye that the cavalry team that had been running wildly before began to slow down quietly, and quietly fell behind the crowd, quietly...

He quietly stopped on the side of the road, put down his weapon, and became a prisoner of the chasing cavalry unit behind him.

In this era, the so-called nationalism is far from being sprouted, and what everyone is fighting is the civil war of the great Han...

If this battle can be won, then these Xiliang iron cavalry are naturally not afraid of death.

But if it is clear that they must die, who doesn't want to buy themselves a little more time to survive?

……

Slowly, the number of cavalry around Fan Chou began to decrease. When he realized that something was wrong, there were only a little over a thousand of the 3000 cavalry around him.

More than half of the soldiers were left behind by him in the long pursuit, and they had no choice but to surrender in the face of the pursuing army.

In order to control these surrenderers, Zhao Yun also left some people to guard the soldiers in place.

But now there are still a full two thousand cavalrymen chasing after Fan Chou.

At this moment, these troops have chased after Fan Chou's ass.

Relying on his tyrannical force, Zhao Yun took down the opponent almost easily, and captured all the remaining soldiers under the opponent's command.

And this Fan Chou can be regarded as a man.

Seeing that he was about to be captured, that guy took out his weapon to fight, and finally died in the fight with Zhao Yun.

……

"Tsk... So, you just killed him like that?"

Looking at the military report that Zhao Yun sent up at the end, Zhang Yan shook his head with a regretful expression.

This Fan Chou can be regarded as a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to Yang Feng's statement, this person's strength may be stronger than him, and he is a veteran second-rate strongman.

It's not yet the era when the stars will shine in the later generations around 200 A.D. For a strong man like him, Zhang Yan originally thought about whether to include him under his command.

This is good, since the other party is determined to die, then Zhang Yan has nothing to say.

High or low, this is also the first famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty who died under his command. Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and then asked Zhao Yun:

"What about Fan Chou's body, did you bring it back?"

……

"My lord, put it not far outside the military tent."

Arching his hands towards Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun straightened his back with a solemn look on his face.

……

"Just bring it back, let me think about it..."

After bowing his head in thought for a moment, Zhang Yan waved his hand aside and called Lu Su over.

Now he is marching outside, and he doesn't have a secretary with him.These days, Lu Su has been concurrently serving as the chief bookkeeper under his command.

Seeing Zhang Yan pursed his lips, he said to Lu Su:

"Give me an order to collect the body of Fan Chou and bring it back to Lujiang for a proper burial."

"Anyway, he is a well-known general outside the country. Wouldn't it be rude to just bury him in this wilderness at will?"

……

"Also, after today's incident, I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible."

Looking at the many generals present, Zhang Yan suddenly wanted to do something.

Just like Fan Chou, countless generals will die in the land of China in the years to come.

Fan Chou was the first, but he will never be the last.

The reality is different from the game - if it is a game, then Zhang Yanda can safely and boldly "save" all the generals he wants into his command.

If someone dies in battle by accident, it is impossible to "roll back".

As long as you have enough patience, even if you own all the generals in this world, it is not impossible.

But the reality is different.

There is no archive in reality, and reality will not give Zhang Yan such good luck and opportunities, so that he can recruit all the favorite generals he wants as he wishes.

Fan Chou, a fierce Xiliang general, died here today, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals may also die due to various unexpected reasons tomorrow.

Even for the brothers who have joined his command, Zhao Yun, Yang Feng, Xu Huang and even Pei Yuanshao, who can guarantee that in a certain future battle, these generals will not be in crisis or even die in battle?

Reality is neither a game nor a "history book". Even Zhao Zilong, the ever-victorious general, has no confidence in saying that he will be invincible all over the world.

Maybe with bad luck, Zhao Yun might die in the next battle due to various reasons.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's expression became more serious.

That's right, he is the lord of these people and the leader of Huaxia.

He has to do something.

Even if these people will leave in the end, at the very least, he must do it to let the stories of these people's existence last as long as possible.

Hope Heaven doesn't need to sleep if I can.

Chapter 56 Weapon Spectrum

"Zijing, I plan to build a forest of jade steles in Lujiang, and select all the famous generals who died in battle in the next hundred years, and invite their bodies to be buried next to the stele."

As soon as Zhang Yan uttered these words, the expressions of many generals present, especially those galloping on the battlefield, all changed.

"You also know that today we are hostile to Fan Chou, not because of good or evil, but because of our different positions and different feet."

"Although Fan Chou is an enemy general, he is not a villain. Even though he has died on the battlefield, his bravery still deserves our admiration."

"I plan to bury him in my Lujiang River, and enjoy incense and offerings every year in the future."

……

"My lord's move...is it a bit abrupt?"
