Chapter 639
Because Liu Bian's special attribute, the power of the real dragon, has more bonuses than Zhao Kuangyin's power of princes, even though Zhao Kuangyin went into battle in person, Liu Bian's army still suppressed Zhao Jun.

Not only the suppression of the soldiers, but the generals on Liu Bian's side also completely suppressed the generals under Zhao Kuangyin.

Yue Fei played against Xu Chu, and Yang Zaixing played against Cao Ning, both of which had the upper hand.But Dian Wei, Cheng Yaojin and others rushed to kill Zhao Jun with their horses, which can be said to be invincible.

Especially when Yang Zaixing played against Cao Ning, Yang Zaixing's martial arts were far superior to Cao Ning's. Although Cao Ning was ruthless, Yang Zaixing was even more fierce. However, in the [-]th round, Yang Zaixing shot Cao Ning under the ribs, and Cao Ning turned over and fell.But fortunately, Hou Junji gathered around and quickly commanded the soldiers to rescue Cao Ning.

At the gate of the camp, Yang Dayan led the soldiers of the Zhao army to continuously confront the cavalry of the Han army blocking the gate, each of them bravely broke through the encirclement without fear of death.Holding a machete, Yang Dayan rushed into the Han cavalry, risking missing arrows and wearing several wounds, finally disrupted the formation of the Han cavalry, and opened a gap in the camp gate.

However, the main reason Zhao Jun was able to stand out from the encirclement was that the cavalry led by Gao Changgong ran out of arrows.Zhao Jun charged with human life, fell more than ten thousand corpses, and shot all the arrows of the Han cavalry, so that Yang Dayan could engage in close combat with the cavalry and disrupt the formation of the cavalry.

Zhao Jun rushed out like ants, and Yang Dayan charged among the cavalry for a while. Seeing that Gao Changgong was in the middle commanding, he went to fight with Gao Changgong.The two could be said to be rivals in chess, Gao Changgong was held back, and the formation of the cavalry was disrupted, so they could no longer stop Zhao Jun from fleeing.

"My lord, retreat quickly, the exit has been opened, let's break out quickly!" Seeing that the defense of the camp gate was finally breached, Zhao Pu shouted at Zhao Kuangyin overjoyed.

Although Zhao Kuangyin's marksmanship here is not as good as Liu Bian's, but with years of fighting experience, he is also able to fight against Liu Bian with ease. Hearing the news of Zhao Pu's good news, Zhao Kuangyin swayed a shot and ran away.Liu Bian galloped his horse to chase, but there was a rain of arrows from the Zhao army, forcing Liu Bian to retreat.

In the previous battle between the two, the soldiers on both sides did not dare to get involved, for fear of accidentally injuring their master, but as soon as Zhao Kuangyin retreated, Zhao Jun shot arrows at Liu Bian without hesitation in order to protect Zhao Kuangyin.

"Damn it, he escaped because of such a great opportunity!" Liu Bian slapped his horsewhip, his face full of regret.

"Zhao Kuangyin's battalion has sent out all the best, only old, weak and wounded soldiers are left. Let's chase after them and win a big victory!" Liu Bowen walked up to Liu Bian and suggested.

Liu Bian nodded, pulled out the Yitian sword and shouted loudly: "The military master's words are right, all the soldiers, follow me to kill Zhao Jun and capture Zhao Kuangyin alive!"

After Zhao Kuangyin left Xu Chuduan behind, he led the main force out of the camp gate and walked towards his own camp. Zhao Kuangyin finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from the dead, and ordered to Zhao Pu: "Military division, now my side has suffered heavy casualties, and our troops are sharp. If it is reduced, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist Liu Bian. Not long ago, Liangshan in Yanzhou was pacified, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were obtained. Now Yanzhou has no worries, so you send the scouts to let the second brother come to support with troops and horses!"

After receiving the order, Zhao Pu urged his horse to run towards the cavalry scouts, and gave Zhao Kuangyin's order: "Take advantage of the chaos, return to Yanzhou quickly, and let the second general send troops to rescue!"

Although Zhao Jun was defeated, Zhao Kuangyin did not intend to retreat. According to Zhao Pu's analysis of the overall situation, other princes may also send troops to attack Liu Bian.Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to wait for the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

The Zhao army had just broken out of the Han army's camp. Except for a few soldiers and horses who were unable to break through and stubbornly resisted, there were only more than 4 horses left. Xu Chu broke through behind and fought and retreated.Among the Han army, Yang Zaixing, Dian Wei Yuefei and other generals chased after the Zhao army's rear army, and they rushed and fought bravely.

Seeing that the Han army was chasing after him, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help feeling a little anxious to wipe him out in one fell swoop.This time he used all his strength, if he fled back to the camp, it would be difficult to resist the wolves and tigers of the Han army in the current situation.

Fortunately, Yang Dayan, the former army, also foresaw this, and sent someone to Zhao Kuangyin to say, "My lord, Yang Dayan suggested that we flee to Yecheng. May I ask if my lord agrees?"

There was no reason why Zhao Kuangyin refused to agree, and he quickly said: "Okay, let Yang Dayan lead our army into Yecheng!"

In Zhao Jun's camp, because Yuexi was injured, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to let him lead the disabled soldiers to garrison.He got the news early on that Zhao Kuangyin was ambushing among the soldiers and horses, but he was seriously injured and unable to use force, and he was helpless, so Cheng Yu, who was also in charge of staying behind, suggested asking Cui Hao for help.So Yuexi left the camp with his soldiers and horses, and asked Cui Hao for help under the city of Ye.

Cui Hao asked Yuexi to lead the soldiers and horses into Yecheng, and at the same time, he also moved the food and grass in the camp into Yecheng.Zhao Kuangyin led the defeated army to the city of Ye, and when he saw Yuexi on the top of the city, he shouted loudly: "My lord, you should quickly lead the troops and horses to enter the city from the north gate. Mr. Cui Hao has already figured out a way to stop the Han army!"

Zhao Jun bypassed the south gate and headed for the north gate. The Han army chased to the south gate, but didn't want the gate of Yecheng to open, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out like a tide.

This situation made the Han army panicked, but these soldiers did not fight the Han army when they left the city gate, but fell to their knees one by one, begging for surrender.

It turned out that these were the Yuan soldiers who were planning to surrender in Yecheng. When Cui Hao learned that Zhao Kuangyin was besieged, he informed these Yuan soldiers that they were going to surrender, and used them to delay the Han army and buy time for the Zhao army to retreat.In this way, the pursuit path of the Han army was blocked by Yuan Bing who wanted to surrender, so they could not pursue it.

After tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers poured out of the city, the gate of Yecheng was quickly closed, because there was still a moat outside the city gate and tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers were in chaos.This made Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing and others who wanted to take the opportunity to enter the city had no choice.

When Liu Bian came to the city of Ye, he saw that his way was blocked by Yuan Bing who had surrendered, and the cavalry in front sent a message: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuangyin's army has entered Yecheng from the north gate!"

Liu Bian couldn't help but sighed, "It's true that Zhao Kuangyin, such a great opportunity, let him run away."

The generals were also beating their chests angrily. If Zhao Kuangyin was captured this time, it would not only pacify Jizhou, but also indirectly win the three states of the Central Plains.If this is the case, the unification of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner, but it is a pity that this opportunity has been missed now.

Only Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuangyin is also a vassal occupying the three states. He is second only to Your Majesty in the power of the Han Dynasty. The Qingzhou soldiers under him are powerful, not weaker than your imperial army. In today's battle, probably After destroying his [-] to [-] troops, his generals such as Xu Chu, Cao Ning, and Yue Xi were all wounded. It can be said that they were injured. The extermination of Zhao has to be done step by step. The forces in Jizhou are deeply rooted. It’s very troublesome, now that tens of thousands of soldiers have been collected, we should focus on attacking Jizhou!”

Liu Bian nodded and said: "The military advisor is right, it's because I'm not greedy enough!"

He took the initiative to admit his impetuous mistake, and Liu Bian urged him to go forward immediately. Facing the black Jizhou soldiers and horses in front of him, Liu Bian said loudly: "You guys voluntarily surrender today. I have already said that those who voluntarily surrender will be exonerated from all crimes. Tomorrow I will temporarily send you to the rear of Dangyin to reunite with your family, and when Jizhou settles down, I will move you to live in Jizhou again!"

Tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers rejoiced. Now that Yuan Shao is about to fall, surrender is their only way out. With Liu Bian's promise, the boulder that was pressing on their heads was finally swept away.Liu Bian led his troops back to the camp, and saw that the camp was full of corpses, blood flowed like a river, and the smell of blood was extremely strong, just in April and May, attracting countless flies to surround and collapse.

Liu Bian frowned. If this situation is not handled properly, creatures like flies can easily carry viruses, and if not done properly, soldiers will be infected. There are not a few cases of failure in ancient times because of this situation. .

Liu Bian frowned and did not enter the camp, Yang Miaozhen on the side said with concern: "Your Majesty, there is a strong smell of blood inside, why don't you wait for us to clean up, your Majesty is coming in!"

Liu Bian shook his head, pointed at the flies flying around in the camp and said, "You can't stay here any longer. Don't look at the flies as small, they bring many diseases. If you stay in the camp, the weather will get hotter and hotter. The army may be infected with diseases such as the plague."

All the generals around knew that Liu Bian was proficient in medical skills, and sometimes he could chat with Li Shizhen's genius doctor for a while, but when he heard Liu Bian's words, they all became nervous.

Liu Bian said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, as long as you handle it properly, you can prevent it. Our army carries masks, as long as you wear them, you will be fine. Let Yuan Bing, who surrendered, also help. Our army is responsible for choosing a new place. Set up camp. Let Yuan Bing take care of the corpses, and bury them in the nearby forest! After you finish your work, go to the nearby river to take a bath. Let the military doctors in the camps here handle them, they have experience!"

Liu Bian made arrangements, and the Han army and Yuan Bing who surrendered were also busy again.

Zhao Kuangyin fled into Yecheng, and when he saw Cui Hao, he quickly cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you Mr. Cui Hao for accepting, otherwise our army may be defeated and the consequences will be disastrous."

Cui Hao shook his head and smiled wryly: "Hey, if I hadn't asked General Yang to surrender, I wouldn't have hurt your army. After all, I have to apologize to you."

At the same time, Yang Dayan also said angrily: "The Han army is really treacherous. As soon as I surrendered, they took away our army's weapons and sent the soldiers to play. I learned of Liu Bian's strategy without the help of soldiers and horses." It’s also powerless.”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I can't blame you for this matter. Liu Bowen in Liu Bian's army once plotted to kill Sun Jian, and it should not be underestimated. I was eager to defeat Liu Bian, but I was almost wiped out by Liu Bian."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the group of remnant soldiers and defeated generals behind him, feeling bitter, while Cui Hao looked at Zhao Jun, thinking that there are only 2000 soldiers loyal to Yuan Shao in Ye City, what should they do in the future?
Seeing the confusion in Cui Hao's eyes, Zhao Pu cupped his hands and said to Cui Hao: "Mr. Cui, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are all gone now, and Yuan Shao is also seriously ill in bed. The situation of destruction is obvious, but Mr. Dragon and phoenix among people, what is your plan?"
