Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2298: One general lost his arm, another was executed

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In terms of concealment, the killer whip that Xue Zan figured out on his own was far inferior to the Qin family's killer mace. When he started to make that move, Yang Yan had already keenly noticed it.

Therefore, Xue Zan's desperate attack did not have any effect on Yang Yan. Instead, Yang Yan stabbed him in the shoulder blade.

Originally, Yang Yan planned to knock Xue Zan to the ground with a single blow of his sword, and then have his soldiers capture him alive.

However, what they didn't expect was that Xue Zan actually grabbed the three-pointed, double-edged knife that pierced his shoulder blade with one hand, and swung the long spear away with the other hand.

No one expected Xue Zan's move, including Yang Yan.

Fortunately, his reaction was very fast, and he raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand with all his strength. Because the sword had already stabbed the opponent's shoulder blade, under the influence of this force, Xue Zan's long spear could not help but deviate from its direction.

When the long spear knocked off Yang Yan's shoulder armor, Yang Yan grabbed the spear with one hand, and the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, because he had raised it too hard just now, actually took off one of Xue Zan's arms.

"Take it!"

Yang Yan hit Xue Zan on the back of his head with the back of his knife, knocking him unconscious.

On the other side, the battle on Ju Lingshen's side was also coming to an end.

With Ju Lingshen's basic martial power of 104, he is considered a master in the world.

However, what he faced was a junior god general and a peerless warrior with a basic force of 102.

Under such circumstances, there is certainly no way he can survive.

However, Ju Lingshen's luck was not very good. Although Mo Shijie was at ease, he was also determined to capture him alive.

However, Zuo Tianlun couldn't do that. After Mo Shijie separated the two men's weapons with one move, Zuo Tianlun failed to stop the force of the heavy axe in time. In the end, the axe hit Ju Lingshen on the back.

From then on, Murong Chui's battle came to an end.

After that, Murong Chui did not join up with Murong Ke or Kublai Khan, but formed a separate army and marched towards the eastern part of Xizhou.

Now, the Yuan Mongols have enough military advantage in Xizhou, and dividing the troops into several routes is the most advantageous for them.

Firstly, different important strongholds can be attacked at the same time.

Secondly, when we are strong and the enemy is weak, attacking from multiple directions can also force the enemy to split its forces into multiple directions, thus exposing its own weaknesses.

However, Kublai Khan once again transferred the great general Mo Shijie back to Murong Ke's army. If this great general was not transferred back, Murong Ke's strength would be somewhat weak.

Among the three armies of Yuan and Mongolia in Xizhou, Murong Ke's army has the largest number of troops and is also the most important one. It is the one that undertakes the main combat mission. The strength of any of the three armies can be relatively weak, but this one cannot be weak.

Of the three armies, Murong Ke's army, the most central one, was like a sharp sword, stabbing straight to the eastern part of Xizhou. Kublai Khan and Murong Chui's army, like two sharp pliers, peeling off the outer Jin army's strength.

At the same time, Kublai Khan also solemnly received Wei Shu, the general who surrendered in this battle, in the name of the Yuan Mongolian prince.

Although Wei Shu's surrender was impulsive, once it was done, there was no turning back.

From the moment he did this, the Jin army would never let him go if they had the chance to capture him.

Therefore, although Wei Shu felt mixed emotions all the way to Kublai Khan's camp, he was able to calm down the moment he stepped into Kublai Khan's camp.

Since it is destined that there is no turning back, then you can only grit your teeth and move forward. Even if there is a big pit ahead, you can only step into it resolutely.

Kublai Khan showed Wei Shu enough courtesy, both in appearance and in substance, and even went beyond the standard.

In the final analysis, although Wei Shu surrendered, his portrait was meaningless. After all, whether he surrendered or not, it would not have changed the outcome of the battle. It would only make Murong Chui spend more effort.

There is no other reason, Kublai Khan just values ​​Wei Shu enough.

It was like the Jin army lacked a talented cavalry general like Huo Qubing.

Among the Yuan Mongols, there were countless men who could lasso horses, and most of them were generals who were good at cavalry warfare. However, generals who had some research on infantry tactics were relatively scarce.

Coincidentally, Wei Shu was a general who had in-depth research on infantry tactics.

The Yuan Mongols have never lacked cavalry generals. What they have always lacked are infantry talents like Wei Shu.

Especially the Yuan Mongols today, after experiencing the Western Expedition, are completely different from what they were back then.

After conquering several countries in the Western Regions, the Yuan Mongols used the captives from the Western Regions to form a large-scale infantry force. Compared with their previous style of attaching great importance to cavalry, they have begun to make a certain turnaround.

However, for the current Yuan Meng, although they have begun to pay attention to the construction of infantry units, there is an extreme imbalance between cavalry and infantry. The development of infantry units has always been limited.

There are many reasons for this.

The lack of a group of truly talented infantry generals is also one of the reasons.

Therefore, the most fundamental reason why Kublai Khan valued Wei Shu, the surrendered general, was this point.

Don't get me wrong, Kublai Khan did not want to hand over the entire infantry unit to Wei Shu. It was impossible for a surrendered general to be given such a heavy burden as soon as he came in. Moreover, Kublai Khan did not have the right to do so. In the entire Yuan Mongolian Empire, only Temujin had this right.

Kublai Khan hoped that the generals of the Yuan Dynasty could learn some infantry tactics from Wei Shu, and thus gradually solve the current problems faced by the Yuan Dynasty.

If the Yuan and Mongolians really wanted to rule the Central Plains one day, a powerful cavalry unit would indeed be their most powerful weapon. However, if they only had a powerful cavalry unit, it would be far from enough.

If you want to enter the Central Plains, you can't avoid the cities in the Central Plains. At this time, the importance of infantry is highlighted.
