"Uh~"

In such a dense battlefield, short spears fell into the camp of the Han army, and immediately shot and killed many Han army cavalry.

For a moment, the scene screamed again and again, and the blood spattered stained the ground red.

The pungent smell of blood made the battlefield feel like a purgatory on earth at this moment!

And Baima Yicong took advantage of the moment when the speed of the Han cavalry stagnated after the short spear was thrown, and launched a charge.

Like a sharp arrow, Bai Ma Yicong plunged into the camp of the Han cavalry, and tore a hole under the leadership of Zhao Yun.

Seeing this scene outside the city, Wang Mang couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction: "There is really no suspense for Baima Yicong to fight such an ordinary cavalry."

Shaking his head, he lost interest in this unsuspecting battle, and turned his head to look at the battle situation on the left and right.

Under the leadership of Gongsun Sheng and Chen Qingzhi, the infantry under his command had completed outflanking the left and right sides. At this moment, the Han army had already been killed, and there were routs everywhere.

Although there are 20 soldiers and horses, most of the Han army is still behind, and they don't know what happened ahead.

They saw the companions in front fleeing one after another, and under unknown circumstances, they also panicked and fled backward together!

Chapter 18

"The whole army pursues, those who surrender gather, and those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy!"

After Fan Kuai and Cao Can were killed, the Han army lost their positions and broke up after less than an hour of fierce fighting.

Of course Wang Mang would not let go of this opportunity and immediately ordered the pursuit.

With an order, Wang Mang's troops, under the leadership of Gongsun Sheng, Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun, frantically pursued the Han army.

Outside the entire Yuan City, there are battlefields everywhere, battles can be seen everywhere, and screams can be heard everywhere.

The Han army was almost chased and killed along the way, with blood flowing for more than ten miles!

Those who are lucky can still take off their armor and escape into the surrounding villages.

But most of them were hunted down by soldiers under Wang Mang's command. They were either killed or surrendered one after another.

Even some Han soldiers didn't understand what happened at all, they fled together, and finally surrendered inexplicably.

At the same time, Xiao He, who was leading a team of soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass, finally encountered the fleeing Han army.

"Stop, stop, stop all for this old man!"

Seeing so many Han troops retreating, Xiao He couldn't help but change his face, knowing that the battle had changed.

But at this moment, he could only ask these soldiers to stop and ask about the situation.

However, these Han soldiers turned a deaf ear to his words!

You must know that Xiao He is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty at this moment, and the power is only under Liu Bang.

These soldiers didn't even listen to his orders, which made Xiao He understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Stop them, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Xiao He's eyes turned cold, and he immediately ordered his own soldiers to intercept the retreating Han army.

At the same time, the archers he brought also raised their arrows and set their bows, aiming at the group of soldiers who were still retreating.

The cold arrow tip exudes a cold chill in the sun, and it will kill people at any time!

Seeing this, the fleeing Han army immediately stopped their escape and stood still, not daring to move.

Seeing this, Xiao He's expression softened a lot, and he asked the group of soldiers coldly, "Who's subordinates are you, why are you running away?"

The fleeing soldiers looked at each other, and finally a man dressed as a centurion stood up and smiled wryly: "If you go back to Xiangguo, the younger ones are General Fan Kuai's subordinates."

"General Fan Kuai's subordinates?" Xiao Hewen frowned: "Hmph, General Fan Kui has always been strict, and it is impossible for his subordinates to desert!"

Who is Fan Kui, Xiao He knows better than anyone else, but he is a reckless man who beats people when he disagrees with him.

Who would dare to be a deserter from the soldiers and horses trained by such people?

However, as soon as Xiao He finished speaking, the centurion looked bitter and hurriedly explained: "Lord Xiangguo, you don't know that General Fan and General Cao have already been killed by the enemy."

"Ah... is this... serious?"

Hearing this news suddenly, even people like Xiao He couldn't help but turn pale with shock, with a look of horror on his face.

Cao Shen and Fan Kuai were both famous generals of the Han Dynasty. The fall of these two men will definitely cause shocks in the Han army.

No wonder so many soldiers and horses are running away now, it must be Wang Mang who led the army to rush over while Fan Kui and Cao Can were killed!

After reacting, Xiao He's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Gather the defeated army, let all the fleeing people gather here!"

The best way at this moment is to gather the scattered soldiers and horses and save as much as possible.

With an order, the defeated Han army quickly gathered towards Xiao He, as if they had found their backbone.

However, although Xiao He's method can gather the defeated Han army, but on such a large-scale battlefield, the sudden appearance of many Han troops gathering for a long time will naturally attract Wang Mang's attention.

Wang Mang, who was also leading the pursuit, soon realized something was wrong!

"Strange, it stands to reason that both Fan Kui and Cao Shen are dead, no one should be able to gather so many soldiers again!"

Seeing more and more Han troops gathering, Wang Mang frowned, and immediately ordered: "Zhao Yun, lead three thousand white horse followers, and rush over with me!

Hmph, I want to see who dares to gather the Han army at this moment! "

With an order, Wang Mang personally took Zhao Yun and three thousand white horses and went straight to Xiao He's location.

Although the huge battlefield was full of chaotic Han troops and soldiers and horses chasing them, Wang Mang led [-] white horses to charge and pursue them, and the momentum caused the surrounding soldiers to retreat.

On the battlefield, once the cavalry charged, the power was unstoppable.

Ordinary infantry, how dare they resist the charge of cavalry with their flesh and blood.

Even many Han troops who were gathering towards Xiao He were scared pale by this cavalry at this moment, and hurriedly gave way.

And Xiao He, who was gathering soldiers and horses, also received a report at this moment: "Report to Xiangguo, a cavalry rushed over not far away!"

Xiao He, who was comforting the soldiers, changed his expression when he heard the words, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction pointed by the spy's finger.

Not far away, a group of cavalry, like heavenly soldiers and generals, charged towards them across the vast crowd with violent charging power.

"No, the enemy has found us!"

Xiao He immediately understood that his actions had attracted the opponent's attention, he did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Archers, immediately shoot arrows to stop their charge!

Other soldiers and horses, retreat with the truth, retreat quickly! "

Xiao He was well aware of the consequences of being overtaken by the cavalry, and he didn't dare to stay here any longer. After giving the order, he rode his horse and turned around to lead the army away.

As for the archers left behind by him, in order to protect Xiao He and the other infantry from retreating, they had no choice but to raise their arrows and set up their bows, ready to stop Wang Mang's cavalry!

However, the mountains and plains are full of soldiers from both sides. If they shoot arrows at this moment, they will definitely shoot their own people.

When the group of archers were about to release their arrows, they hesitated for a moment!

At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly sounded in midair!

A group of archers looked up and saw that the sky was full of snow-white short spears, falling like raindrops!

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

It turned out that Bai Ma Yicong was ahead of them and threw the short spear.

In an instant, the archers of the Han army screamed again and again, falling to the ground and dying.

Even if someone is shooting arrows to counterattack at this moment, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Most of the archers of the Han army are concerned about saving their lives at this moment, avoiding the falling short spears, how many people are shooting arrows.

And Wang Mang took advantage of this opportunity and led the cavalry to charge up!

"kill!"

With Wang Mang's cold snort, Bai Ma Yicong was like a torrent of steel, smashing the Han army's archers camp.

The archers who were approached fled one after another, not daring to fight.

Bai Ma Yicong took the opportunity to break through their line of defense, and caught up with Xiao He who was fleeing ahead!

Wang Mang saw Xiao He in a black official uniform at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over on his horse.

Shenju was extremely fast, and before the soldiers around Xiao He could react, Wang Mang had already passed them and knocked off the sharp sword in Xiao He's hand with one shot.

"Qiang~"

The sharp tip of the Son of Heaven's Spear touched Xiao He's throat, causing Xiao He's face to change drastically, and he dared not move.

Wang Mang chuckled: "Looking at you dressed like this, you must not be an unknown person, tell me your name!"

"Xiao He!" Xiao He snorted coldly, turned his head away and did not dare to look at Wang Mang.

Chapter 19 The battle has been fruitful, would you rather die than surrender?

"Xiao He?"

Wang Mang's eyes lit up when he heard the name.

Xiao He is not an ordinary person. The other party entered the Qin Dynasty in his early years and served as the chief official of Pei County, assisting Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, in the uprising.

After conquering Xianyang, he received the laws and books collected by the Prime Minister's Mansion and Yushi Mansion, and mastered the national mountains and rivers, county and county household registration, which played an important role in formulating policies in the future.

During the battle between Chu and Han, he stayed in the pass to build a solid rear for the Han army, transporting soldiers and food to support the battle, which played an important role in Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu and the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, he served as Xiangguo, known as "Xiao Xiangguo" in history, canonized Marquis Feng, and ranked first among meritorious officials.

This person, together with Zhang Liang and Han Xin, are known as the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and his ability to govern the country is second to none in the entire history.

And now, Xiao He has become his prisoner!

"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect that Xiao Xiangguo, who is famous all over the world, is actually my prisoner, Wang Mang!"

Wang Mang laughed loudly, and ordered the soldiers under his command: "Come here, take Xiao He down!"

As soon as the order was given, cavalry came over and tied up Xiao He.

When the surrounding Han soldiers saw this scene, no one dared to step forward to stop it.

Their generals Cao Can and Fan Kuai are dead, and now even Xiangguo has been captured alive, who would dare to do anything.

Wang Mang glanced at the group of soldiers standing there blankly, and gave an order with a cold snort: "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

After he finished speaking, his aura surged all over his body, and the powerful coercion actually made the Han soldiers around him feel cold, feeling as if his life would be taken away at any time.

Under such fearful emotions, the timid people immediately put down the weapons in their hands.

"Bangdang~"

Accompanied by the sound of weapons falling to the ground, the surrounding Han soldiers saw their comrades surrender, and they also seemed to be infected, and put down their weapons one after another.

In just a moment, all the Han troops on the scene put down their weapons and surrendered.

This scene made Xiao He, who was taken down, sigh a long way: "Defeated, defeated, my Han Dynasty's 20 soldiers were actually defeated here."

At this moment, even the firm-willed Xiao He couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

He couldn't believe that 20 Han soldiers were defeated by Wang Mang's troops in just one day.

Before he even had time to participate in the battle, he was captured alive.

Of course, Wang Mang would not give him a chance to express emotion at this time.

"Send Xiao He back, and the others will clean up the battlefield and bring the captives back!"

With an order, Wang Mang's soldiers and horses immediately moved into action, sweeping the battlefield to clean up the battlefield, and escorting the prisoners to escort the prisoners.

These matters can be handled by Gongsun Sheng, Chen Qingzhi, Zhao Yun and others. The next thing Wang Mang has to do is to persuade Xiao He to surrender!

Now he has a military adviser, a commander, and a general, but he still lacks a political talent.

And Xiao He happened to be a political talent who governed the country.

If Xiao He can be persuaded to surrender, then he will be much more relaxed in the future.

It was already night when they took Xiao He and escorted the captives back to the city.

The city was brightly lit, and the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion was even more lively. The generals who had won the battle congratulated each other.
