Chapter 393

Entering the battle is different from the two armies fighting each other in formation, and they can't get a single blow. Liu Zhongli has been protected by the general Guo Shanshi and others, and Hu Luguang and Gao Jishi are not interested in fighting. The pawns penetrated the Liang army formation from the other direction.

Liu Zhongli, who was lucky enough to recover a life, was terrified, and the severe pain from his right shoulder reminded him of the danger just now.

"These Qi people know how to cheat and set up an ambush."

Liu Zhongli said angrily.

Every country has its own method of warfare that is most handy. Although the Northern Qi Dynasty has no direct connection with the Yan and Qianyan, Gao Cheng learned the art of war from Murong Shaozong, and the feigned defeat and ambush can be regarded as Murong's housekeeping skills. Whether it is Murong Ke's fraudulent defeat to lure Ran Min, or Murong Chui's fraudulent defeat and setting up an ambush to defeat Huan Wen and Liu Laozhi successively are all representative works.

Gao Cheng asked Murong Shaozong for advice on the art of war, but Murong Shaozong didn't keep any secrets, it can be said that he taught him all his money, and he learned thoroughly the unique knowledge passed down by Murong's family.

The key to cheating and setting up an ambush is to be willing to invest capital to lure the enemy, or to act realistically.

Gao Cheng sent [-] prefecture soldiers and [-] civilian husbands outside Shouyang City, but he himself led the main force to Huaiyin, like a woman in transparent tulle, showing her charm to Xiao Yuanming, whispering her loneliness in his ears Lonely.

But Murong Shaozong's lure in Anlu belongs to the category of realistic acting, and he deliberately set up Dong Zhuo's old trick to let Liu Zhongli see through.

Liu Zhongli preconceived that Murong Shaozong would have no reinforcements after him, so he was bluffing, how could he guard against ambushes again.

However, Hu Luguang and Gao Jishi penetrated through the formation of the Liang army, and did not continue to join forces, but separated to cooperate with Murong Shaozong, who turned around, with ten thousand soldiers, dividing the Liang army into several pieces, so that they could fight on their own.

Gao Cheng was famously caring about the use of soldiers, and would never use them to attack cities by force. In his opinion, that was what state and county soldiers should do, and the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty were more or less influenced by him. For example, when Murong Shaozong attacked Anlu, he was trying his best to toss the state and county soldiers under his command. Relatively speaking, the state of the soldiers was not bad.

Seeing the Northern Qi cavalry with the help of infantry, wantonly interspersed and roundabout on the battlefield, Liu Zhongli hated his teeth, but he had no choice. Blocking the impact of the enemy cavalry, you can hunt down and kill Murong Shaozong, how can you bring these things with you.

On the battlefield, there were screams one after another, Qi and Liang armies fought desperately, and people kept falling down.

Liu Zhongli glanced in the direction of Anlu, the reinforcements are here, the reinforcements are here to help.

But there was no sign of the Anlu defenders leaving the city.

Liu Zhongli knew that he couldn't wait any longer. Although the Liang army didn't break up immediately, it would be a matter of time before they continued to be divided and wiped out.

After all, forming an array with a physical body to resist the impact of cavalry, many people died, no matter how elite they were, they would be afraid.

Liu Zhongli commanded Liang Jun to break through in the direction of Anlu desperately, and finally seemed to break through the gap, but Hu Luguang led a cavalry to rush over and kill them.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through to Anlu, Liang Jun couldn't hold on any longer, and the tension was finally broken. Many people stopped following Liu Zhongli and scattered like birds and beasts.

The 3 people were really determined to flee in all directions, and it was impossible for the Northern Qi army to stop them all. Many Liang soldiers escaped from the gaps in the Northern Qi siege, and ran away without looking back.

But Liu Zhongli was different. He was wearing bright armor and refracted the light under the sun, which was extraordinarily dazzling. People don't kill prisoners, but are willing to trade prisoners of war, and let people go south, but they also lack the heart to fight to the death.

"Second brother, I can't get away."

Liu Zili, Liu Zhongli's third brother, said dejectedly.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the implication was naturally to persuade Liu Zhongli to surrender.

Liu Zhongli's face turned green and pale for a while, he thought he was a hero in the world, but he was defeated by Murong Shaozong, an unknown soldier, and he was unwilling to let him fight to the death, but he didn't have the backbone.

Seeing that the second elder brother was silent, Liu Zili hurriedly urged:
"Second brother! If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood."

It was only then that Liu Zhongli turned the corner in his thoughts. Yes, he was captured today. Although he was humiliated, he can leave behind a useful body. When he is redeemed back to Nanliang in the future, he, as the prince's confidant, will surely recover. By then It will not be too late to get back the shame of today in a showdown with this Murong Shaozong.

At the head of Anlu City, guard Ma Xiude reported Liu Zhongli's defeat and was captured. He looked helplessly at Chang Shi:

"After this defeat, will there still be reinforcements rushing to Anlu?"

Chang Shi said in frustration:
"Even if there are reinforcements, they will go to Jiangling."

Ma Xiu cursed bitterly:

"Liu Zhongli's ambition is great and his talents are sparse, but he misunderstood himself and the country."

Chang Shi comforted:
"Don't worry about the county guards. Although there are only [-] garrisons left in Anlu, there are still more than [-] people in the city. We will live and die with the city!"

"In a helpless city, how can you defend it for a long time, and why bring the whole city to die?"

Ma Xiu shook his head.

Hearing the words, Chang Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked:

"Sheriff, you want to."

"Let's open the city."

The gate of Anlu city opened slowly, Ma Xiu, the governor of the county, surrendered to the approaching Qi army vanguard Xiancheng, Murong Shaozong occupied Anlu, and detained all the Liang army prisoners in the city.

In this battle, Liu Zhongli had 6000 troops, more than [-] people died, and [-] were captured. Only less than [-] people escaped.

The fact that there were so many captives also benefited from the good reputation of the Qi army for not killing or torturing captives, and allowing people to redeem them.

In the opinion of many Liang Jun, instead of fleeing hard for their lives, sleeping in the open air, maybe having to be killed by the people as rebels in order to get something to eat, it is better to let the people of Qi raise them comfortably and wait for the court to redeem them. If it is difficult, it has nothing to do with them.

Although the Qi army won, there were not a few casualties, mainly concentrated in Murong Shaozong's troops who were used as bait.

Murong Shaozong tied Liu Zhongli and his younger brother to Jiangling, sent people to report victory to Gao Cheng, and also asked for more troops, otherwise he would not be able to continue eastward, and Hu Luguang's [-] cavalry could not be expected to dismount and attack the city.

Hu Luguang also entered Anlu City with Murong Shaozong, waiting for Gao Cheng's instructions.

After Gao Cheng received Liu Zhongli's package, he was overjoyed when he heard about Anlu's great victory. On the one hand, he sent someone to take Liu Zhongli to Jiangling City, and inspected the city like Xiao Yuanming. People moved eastward, and ordered people to spread the word that Murong Shaozong must open up the connection with Huainan Hezhou.

As for Hu Luguang, he was ordered to garrison Anlu, and not only to guard the prisoners, but also to support Murong Shaozong. If Nanliang still had troops crossing the river to obstruct it, another battle of Anlu would be fought.

The story is divided into two parts. In Jiangling City, Xiao Yi's life is not easy. Yiling fell on the west side, and Murong Shaozong attacked the city on the east side. It is all bad news. Now Liu Zhongli finally came, but he was a prisoner of the Qi army. , I can't help him not being bored.

 I have a headache and sore throat, and my state is very poor. I am not very satisfied with what I have written. I will take a rest and there will be an update before twelve o'clock. I dare not say how much I will write, but I can only say that I will try my best to write.
