After Jiao Ji was shot, he felt a sharp pain on his face. He screamed and fell off his horse.
Wang Yao shouted: "The leader of the bandits is dead, soldiers! Kill!"
"Kill them!" Deng Dang also roared and rushed to Shanyue.
After Jiao Ji fell off his horse, he died soon, and the Shanyue bandits were completely in chaos.
Under the general's flag, Yan Xiang had drawn his sword and was ready at all times. Wang Yao gave him the important task of guarding the general's flag. Once the bandit general approached, even if he was a scholar, he would definitely let these barbarians see the pride of scholars.
Wang Yao led his troops to attack and kill. His own warhorse was injured, so he had to abandon it. He turned over and dismounted, inserted the "Red Crow Flowing Fire" into the ground, pulled out the "Tiger Soul", switched to foot combat, and continued to fight. Even though he was covered in blood, he never stopped swinging his sword.
The loss of war horses on the battlefield was very high. It was basically impossible for a general to have only one horse in his lifetime. When Li Shimin conquered half of the Tang Dynasty, he changed many war horses, and the famous ones were the "Six Horses of Zhaoling".
Not long after, the Shanyue barbarians who were killed and scattered fled.
"Stop them, lay down their weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist and flee will be killed without mercy!"
Half an hour later, the battle outside Quanjiao City finally ended.
In this battle, about 900 Shanyue were killed and more than 300 were captured, and a great victory was won.
However, the Han army also suffered a lot of losses. More than half of the 500 people brought by Wang Yao were killed or injured.
Seeing the end of the battle outside the city, the Quanjiao County Magistrate ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome reinforcements.
The county magistrate trotted all the way to Wang Yao and bowed, saying, "Quanjiao County Magistrate Sheng Ji, thank you, General."
"No need to be polite." Wang Yao put his knife back into the sheath: "What is the situation in Quanjiao?"
"To the general, a few days ago, I found out that there were Shanyue bandits approaching. I knew that Quanjiao was difficult to defend for a long time, so I sent someone to report to the envoy and ask for reinforcements. Before the reinforcements arrived, I stayed at my post and did not dare to relax. Fortunately, the general arrived in time to save the people of Quanjiao from suffering."
The county magistrate still said nice things.
Wang Yao did not have much resentment for him not leaving the city to cooperate in the battle. According to the situation in Quanjiao County, this county magistrate had done better than most people.
"Forget it. There is still some food in the city. We will not enter the city. We can stay outside. Since the rebellion has been resolved, our army will rest for a day and then return to Shouchun to report."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will send someone to send food to reward the army."
As night fell, with the help of the Quanjiao County Magistrate, the camp was quickly built.
Inside the big tent
The accompanying military doctor helped Wang Yao to bandage some wounds. Although he was protected by armor, he still suffered some minor injuries in the melee, which did not have much impact.
"Military Sima, the bandage is done."
"Thank you. You can leave first."
"Yes."
Soon after the military doctor left, Yan Xiang came in: "Sir, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. How are the others in the army?"
Yan Xiang replied: "Captain Deng is also...They are just slightly injured. Soldiers, those with minor injuries will be fine after resting for a while, but those with serious injuries probably won't last long. ”
“Treat them as much as possible.”
“Yes. ”
Wang Yao was a little embarrassed. He had been with the soldiers for more than two months, but after one battle, a lot of soldiers were killed. However, the medical level was limited. The soldiers who were seriously injured on the battlefield were not far from death.
All Wang Yao could do was to let the doctors try their best to save them and then settle their families.
That night, Wang Yao wrote down the battle report and sent someone to Shouchun to report.
After a day of rest, Wang Yao led the army and escorted the Shanyue captives back to Shouchun.
Along the way, any captive who made trouble would be killed with thunder and lightning, without mercy.
Under the iron-blooded suppression, few of them dared to make trouble.
When the army returned, the governor Wang Qi of Shouchun West Gate personally greeted them with a group of officials.
Wang Yao walked up to Wang Qi, bowed and said: "Envoy, I have fulfilled my mission and the crisis in Quanjiao has been resolved. ”
“Well, you are worthy of being the son of the Wang family. Your father will welcome you!”
The father was naturally happy when his son returned victorious.
The soldiers who fought in the war were all rewarded, and the captured Shanyue were also arranged to open up wasteland.
In the lobby of the governor's mansion, officials in the mansion gathered together, toasting and celebrating this victory.
The son of Governor Wang defeated the Shanyue with a small number of people, and he had to publicize it well.
With the help of this battle, Wang Qi also officially appointed Wang Yao as a lieutenant to command three camps.
War After the battle, life returned to normal again.
Deng Dang lost nearly half of his troops this time, and according to the previous standards, he recruited new soldiers in Jiujiang County again.
Wang Yao returned to his busy daily life. He had to keep an eye on the military camp, look after government affairs, and take time to teach in the school, and he couldn't fall behind in his martial arts.
However, among the new recruits this time, there was one person who caught Wang Yao's attention.
A young man from Cai County, Jiujiang County, named Zhou Tai, although only 14 years old, is tall and strong.
Because Wang Yao defeated Shanyue, he came here to meet this young general.
I finally met a potential stock again, how could I let him go?
After being taught a lesson by Wang Yao, Zhou Tai was convinced and volunteered to become Wang Yao's personal soldier.
After Zhou Tai joined, he was treated similarly to Jiang Qin. He needed to study every day and had to undergo military training. His life was very fulfilling.
Since the autumn harvest, Shanyue's actions have become more frequent, and the three major camps in Shouchun City often go out to reinforce other counties.
During this period, Wen Ji finally got his wish to lead the army to fight.
After fighting for a long time, the soldiers' combat experience improved, and they found that Shanyue's combat effectiveness was really average.
The equipment was not as good as the Han army, the training was not as good, and they lacked organization and discipline. After several battles, the generals of various departments were not good at dealing with Shanyue., and became more adept at it.
Winter passed and spring came. Time came to the fifth year of Guanghe (182 AD). In this year, Wang Xi's term as the governor of Yangzhou was over.
In the court, the struggle between the relative He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs became more and more intense. Both sides wooed officials and engaged in factional struggles.
The literati wandered between the relatives and eunuchs, taking advantage of every opportunity.
Wang Xi disdained to associate with eunuchs, but he looked down on He Jin, who was ambitious but incompetent. The situation of the two sides not getting close was quite bad.
Even the top family like the Runan Yuan family, in addition to Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and others who served in the court, privately maintained close contact with the relative He Jin.
Although the Taiyuan Wang family was not small in power, it was still far behind the Yuan family.
At the beginning of the year, an imperial edict came from Luoyang.
The content is basically to denounce Wang Xi, saying that since he took office as the governor of Yangzhou, people's livelihood has been declining, the people have been complaining, the Shanyue have been rebelling every year, but they have not been eradicated, the Yangzhou army has suffered losses, money and food have been wasted, and the prestige of the Han army has been humiliated.
It is not known who drafted this imperial edict. The content is very offensive, denying Wang Xi's achievements and creating many unfounded charges.
The final conclusion is to demote Wang Xi to the governor of Dongjun and take up the post immediately.
