It was precisely because of this extremely anxious state of mind that when he saw those Shanyue from several miles away, he immediately ordered the whole army to speed up and rushed in from behind these Shanyue.

The catapults in the rear and some of Shanyue's auxiliary troops never expected that someone would attack them from the rear at this time.

Under the charge of a large number of horses, in just a moment, the cavalry of the first soldier Masi came to the vicinity of the catapult position. At this time, the main force of Shanyue was still besieging the troops led by Sun Ce in front. Realized my ass was already stolen

At the same time, at the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, Zhang Yan rode his white horse, holding a big knife that he snatched from someone who did not know, and after killing several people in a row, he slowed down Slowly rein in the horse and stop.

Beside him, a large number of cavalry galloped past, pouring into Shan Yue's unsuspecting rear line of defense like hot knives cutting butter.

All of a sudden, a lot of blood gushed out, while Zhang Yan himself gritted his teeth nervously, and looked at the direction of the Wancheng city wall in front of him with a worried expression.

……

"It should be fine!"

"Looking at it this way, Wancheng hasn't been breached yet, so there should be still time..."

"Hopefully it's still too late!"

As if feeling a little flustered, Zhang Yan's gaze moved down slowly from near the city wall of Wancheng, only then did he notice that not far below the city wall, more than a thousand people were resisting Shanyue's aggression to the death.

Seeing that a large number of comrades died in battle, the cavalry under Zhang Yan's side almost didn't need him to command them deliberately. They immediately formed a small team of tens or hundreds of people and killed them in the direction where those colleagues were surrounded.

As for Zhang Yan's side, there was only a 200-man squad left behind, closely guarding him.

……

"Huh, I'm fine, don't worry too much about my safety."

"In today's battlefield, there is probably no one who can be said to be far stronger than me. Instead of protecting me like this, why not hurry up and support my colleagues on the front line."

"Although the strength of the Shanyue side is weak, there are so many people supporting them after all. You have to quickly smash and disperse these people, lest they gather and surround us in turn."

……

"Don't worry, I'm sensible, I won't rush to any dangerous place alone."

He greeted the soldiers beside him in a soft voice, Zhang Yan saw that these people were still a little uneasy, so he pretended to be angry, and waved them away pretendingly.

Seeing his lord's appearance, the last army of hundreds of people left Zhang Yan's side with three steps, and headed towards the center of the Shanyue army formation in front of him.

Only the last dozen or twenty people were left, what did Zhang Yan say, these people refused to leave him for half a step, and they must stand aside to guard his comfort, so Zhang Yan gave up resentfully.

But honestly...

This battle has been fought to such an extent that in the end it doesn't make much difference whether these dozens of people join or not.

This is like in later generations, when the top five superpowers in terms of military expenditure crushed the neighboring small countries. Even though the number of troops dispatched is far less than that of the opposite side, the hard power gap brought about by a large number of other investments makes these mountains more fundamental. There was no way to launch an effective counterattack against the Lujiang cavalry.

On the land of Jiangdong, the first large-scale cavalry group war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty successfully ushered in its end with Zhang Yan's overwhelming advantage.

Chapter 58 Postwar

"My lord, you are back!"

……

Half a day later, Zhang Yan sat in the official mansion in Wan City tiredly, rubbing his eyes with his fingers.

Beside him are Kuai Qi and many other officials from Wancheng, as well as elders of the aristocratic family.

After the crisis in Wancheng was lifted, these people finally recorded together again, and explained to Zhang Yan what happened in Wancheng when the other party left here.

……

In fact, long before, Zhang Yan was very nervous when he led thousands of elite riders to fight Shanyue at the gate of Wancheng.

In other words, it was very frightening.

After all, after more than half a month away from home, it would be unacceptable for anyone to see the whole city of Wan in dilapidated condition, looking like it would be unable to hold on anytime soon after returning home.

Until now, after he sat back in his seat again, the heart that had been hanging around before was finally put back in his stomach.

At the same time, the reports of Kuai Qi and others were sent to his desk one after another when he was frowning.

……

"My lord, the final battle has been sorted out when you came back just now. The total number of Shanyue side is about 4 people, and the remaining number after the war is less than [-]. It can be said that it was a disastrous defeat. .”

"As for the specific number of people who were killed in the formation... there is no way to count it for the time being."

"The southeast of Wancheng is a plain terrain. The cavalry you brought can do too much damage on this terrain. Many of the dead Shanyue can't see the specific shape at all. They can only be based on the weapon's Quantity, estimate an approximate number of people."

"perhaps……"

"There are probably more than 1 people in the battle. In addition, there are many scattered on the battlefield. I have written letters to the magistrates of several other counties. They will focus on encirclement and suppression during this period."

In a low voice, he reported the situation of the previous battle to Zhang Yan. As the Prime Minister of Wancheng, Kuai Qi was sitting in the first position on Zhang Yan's left.

At the same time, the report of the previous battlefield intelligence was also carried out by Kuai Qi.

……

"As for the loss of our own people..."

……

It's just that, unlike the previous big victory record, Kuai Qi's mood at the moment seems a little depressed.

Especially when talking about the casualties on his own side, his voice became much heavier.

……

"In the previous battle, there were more than 270 soldiers who followed General Sun out of the city to fight. Of those who came back with you, there are only [-] left."

"As for the first soldier, Ma Si, the battle situation of the cavalry battalion is very good."

"Except for a few soldiers who fell from the battlefield and suffered some injuries because their horse's legs were chopped off, no soldiers in the cavalry battalion died in this battle."

"On the contrary, after a hard battle, the two known generals of the Shanyue side, the two brothers Yan Yu and Yan Hu, all died in this battle."

"Their corpses have already been disposed of by me and put away separately."

……

After summarizing the results of the previous battle to Zhang Yan in a low voice, Kuai Qi took two steps back and sat in the position where the opponent was under attack.

As for Zhang Yan, he held the file in one hand and gently pinched his chin with the other. After a while, he came back to his senses.

……

"Kuai Qi, you just said... the leaders of Shanyue's branch are brothers Yan Yu and Yan Hu?"

"How did you know that?"

"When I led people into the Shanyue formation, I didn't see any decent resistance from the other party, let alone any generals."

"I've heard of Yan Hu too, isn't it Yan Baihu from Wu County!"

"He and his brother Yan Yu are well-known in Jiangdong. If these two people are here, shouldn't I have no impression at all?"

……

"Uh, my lord, you don't know something..."

"These two people... only knew their names after fighting with them several times when General Sun led people out of the city to fight."

Arching his hands towards Zhang Yan, Kuai Qi recalled for a moment, and then replied:

"Just now General Sun lost his strength and fell into a coma. Before he was sent to the city for recuperation, many people watched him behead Yan Yu, and Yan Hu was also killed by the soldiers of the First Army Division after that. "

"There should be nothing wrong with this."

……

"General Sun..."

"That guy Sun Ce..."

……

After listening to Kuai Qi's explanation, Zhang Yan nodded, then pursed his lips lightly, as if he understood something.

It's just that something different appeared in his eyes.

Especially after knowing that Sun Ce made a move to help him block the mountains who came to attack the city, the concentration of that kind of thing reached its peak.

……

"I really didn't expect it... This guy usually looks like a mess, but there are times when he is so reliable."

"It's just this speed of transformation..."

"Should I say that it is worthy of being the protagonist of the early period of the Three Kingdoms?"

"With such a growth rate, you can already play the leading role in the Shuangwen novels of later generations!?"

He muttered something softly, Zhang Yan didn't care if the people around him could hear him or not, he just said it on his own.

Afterwards, after sighing several times, he returned to the country, and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

He is not the kind of villain who will do anything for his own benefit.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan can be said to be one of the very few characters who must repay kindness and revenge. In his eyes, grievances and grievances are very clear.

Although he had never had a good impression of Sun Ce because of his first impression, but now the other party has made such a big sacrifice for Wancheng...

As the prefect of Lujiang, I really should thank him a lot.

……

"Kuai Qi, remember to pass on my order to choose a pair of armor from the army's arsenal. When Sun Ce wakes up, give it to him as a gift."

"I want the kind of full-body armor specially prepared for generals."

"No matter what the other party says, they have helped us Lujiang so much, we can't let others see the joke."

"Also, didn't he like black horses before?"

"I think the black horse he was riding was seriously injured due to the fierce battle, and it is almost dying."

"When you go to the contact to choose armor for him, don't forget to choose a new horse for him."

"Changsha is even more short of horses than we are in Lujiang. Even if his father is the leader of the biggest power in Jingnan, it shouldn't be easy for him to get some good horses."
