Chapter 2842 Qin Niu fought against the three gods of war and drove straight into Jiyin


    Chapter 2839: Qin Niu fought against the three gods of war and drove straight into Jiyin


    Le Yi is now in the Wei army, almost equivalent to Bai Qi of the Qin army. As the leader of the military officers of Cao Wei, Le Yi, who is alive, is naturally more valuable than the dead.


    If he can capture him alive, even if he cannot persuade him to surrender, just spreading some rumors under his name will be enough to shake the morale of the Wei army in various places, thus making the Bai Qi army''s subsequent offensive easier.


    Unfortunately, Le Yi consciously let Cao Cao down. He felt something wrong in his heart and was unwilling to be captured at all, so he committed suicide as soon as he saw Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao even wanted to save him.


    "well…"


    After sighing regretfully, Li Cunxiao directly ignored the soldiers who pointed guns at him but were trembling. He cried loudly at Le Jin, who was holding Le Yi''s body and cried in a deep voice: "Le Jin, Le Yi''s last order is to let you put down your weapons and surrender, and don''t let his efforts go to waste."


    Hearing Li Cunxiao''s words, Le Jin''s eyes looked struggling, but in the end he still put down his weapons powerlessly and ordered with a painful look: "Send the order, the Grand Governor has an order. All those who are still alive will put down their weapons and surrender to the Qin army."


    Hearing this, the soldiers present were relieved. After all, there was only one way to die if they continued to resist. They were definitely unwilling to die, and following orders to surrender and being captured was not the same treatment.


    The total defenders in Puyang Xicheng had a total of 15,000 troops, and the city wall collapsed and killed nearly 3,000 defenders, so the number of troops who were led by Le Yi was about 12,000.


    With the loss of the collapse gap and the subsequent street fighting, under the fierce offensive of the Pojun Camp, nearly 7,000 people were injured or killed, which means that there were still nearly 5,000 people in the west city to resist.


    Of course, once the news of Le Yi''s death came out, the remaining defenders would definitely lose their morale, and it was obvious that it would not last long.


    Therefore, Le Yi''s decision to let Le Jin surrender was obviously right. Without Le Yi, he would die in vain. It would be better to take the initiative to surrender and reduce some sacrifices.


    In addition, Le Yi has a little selfish intention. The only outstanding talents of the Wei family generation are him, Le Cheng and Le Jin. He and Le Cheng are both dead. If Le Jin also died in battle, then the Le family will completely become a small family.


    Therefore, even for the sake of the family and descendants, Le Jin cannot die.


    Le Jin naturally knew this, so even though he was still loyal to Cao Cao, he was unwilling to surrender deep down, but he still chose to follow his brother''s instructions and surrender to the Qin Dynasty. After all, for the big families, the importance of family inheritance is above his own loyalty.


    After Le Jin issued the order to surrender, the remaining five thousand defenders put down their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army, which made the Qin army almost never encounter any resistance and easily captured the prefect''s palace and the major treasury.


    It is worth mentioning that the Puyang Grain Depot was not set on fire by Le Yi in advance, but the armory and other warehouses escaped, and this was naturally done by Le Yi.


    Le Yi naturally did not want the Qin army to replenish the grain warehouse in Puyang. In this way, he could only transport grain from the back to replenish it, so as to delay the speed of the Qin army''s advance and buy time for Chenliu Cao Cao.


    The reason why he deliberately did not burn other warehouses was Le Yi''s last gentleness, leaving the last line of room for Le Jin and other generals to be better off.


    At the last moment of his life, Le Yi was still planning for Cao Cao, and he was considering Le Jin, but he did not consider himself. He was so righteous or stupid.


    Shortly after the collapse of Puyang Xicheng City Wall, Le Yi knew that he would definitely not be able to defend it, so he issued an order that he would personally cut off the rear in Xicheng and break through as soon as possible.


    Generals such as Lan Yu, Jiang Hengchu, Yu Rongwang, Niu Hong who received the order all led their troops to the East Gate, intending to break through.


    The Puyang defenders totaled 45,000, while in Bai Qi''s nine-day fierce attack, the number of casualties reached nearly 10,000, while the defenders behind Xicheng had 15,000, which means that the total number of breakout troops was 20,000.


    As for why they all choose East Gate? The reason is also very simple.


    Once Puyang falls, the next main attack direction of the Qin army will definitely be Jiyin County in the south, thereby cutting off the retreat of Chenliu''s Wei army, so it is definitely impossible to break through the South Gate, otherwise it will face the pursuit of the Qin army directly.


    As for the north, it is naturally not possible. After all, the north of Puyang has fallen, and there are heavy troops guarding the Qin army in the direction of Dunqiu, so it is too difficult to break through the encirclement.


    Only the territory east of Puyang is still under the control of Cao Wei, and Puyang borders Juancheng County in the north of Jiyin County, and Juancheng County has not been broken yet, so the army that broke through can rest.


    This is also the main reason why Lan Yu, Jiang Wenhuan, Yu Rongwang, Niu Hong and others all chose to break through the east gate.


    But just as Lan Yu and other generals were rushing to the east gate, Le Yi suddenly heard a general coming over, asking Lan Yu and other generals to lead their troops to break through the north gate, rather than the east gate.


    This order also confused Lan Yu, Jiang Wenhuan and others. After all, it is extremely difficult to break through the North Gate. Even if you can break out, more than half of the casualties will be killed. Why did Le Yi ask them to go from the North Gate instead of the East Gate?


    "Can it be that Le Yi intends to surrender, so he deliberately let our army break through the north gate as a letter of surrender to Qin?"


    Niu Hong analyzed Le Yi''s motives with malicious intentions, but as soon as he said this, he stabbed the hornet''s nest, which immediately aroused the condemnation of the Wei generals.


    Even though Le Yi was defeated repeatedly, his prestige among the Wei army was still extremely high, and in order to atone for his sins, even leaving behind a rear guard himself, Jiang Hengchu, Yu Rongwang and other generals naturally would not allow Niu Hong to insult their chief generals.


    Niu Hong was not scolded and refused to retaliate. Seeing that there were only more than a thousand people left in the Wei army, there was still someone who dared to refute him? Niu Hong was immediately angry, but before he could even speak, he was stopped by Lan Yu.


    "Niu Hong, don''t say anything like this that is not conducive to unity in the future. If General Le Yi wants to surrender to Qin, he will not be delayed until now." Lan Yu scolded with a serious look on his face.


    Niu Hong subconsciously wanted to refute when he heard this, but after seeing Lan Yu''s angry eyes, he could only hold back his words and retreated aside and sulked.


    Just when everyone was unaware of the reason, Le Yi''s personal guards escorted Xun You, and Xun You explained Le Yi''s intention to them.


    "It is precisely because it is easiest to break through from the East Gate that Bai Qi will definitely arrange heavy troops here, so it is easier to break through from the North and South Gate.


    Once Puyang falls, the Qin army will surely march into Jiyin quickly next. If we break through from the south, it will be like hitting Bai Qi''s muzzle directly.


    In contrast, although the north has been occupied by the Qin army, most of Bai Qi''s energy will definitely be concentrated on quickly breaking through Jiyin, and he will definitely not have much effort to deal with our remnants and losers. Therefore, as long as we can escape the first round of pursuit by the Qin army, we have a great chance of escaping into Juancheng County for repair. ”


    After hearing Xun You''s words, Lan Yu and others suddenly realized it, and they also felt cold sweat behind them.


    If it weren''t for Le Yi, they would definitely break through the east gate, and it would be a lot of danger by then.


    "Although there is a great commander-in-chief on the Ximen side, and two generals from Niu Mowange came to cut off the rear, I am afraid that it will not last long. The most important thing is to break through the North Gate as soon as possible."


    Xun You said with a serious face, and the generals led by Lan Yu nodded in agreement.


    At the same time, Puyang East Gate.


    On the surface, there were only five thousand Qin troops staring at it, but ten thousand Qin troops were ambushing here ten miles away, and Qin Niu and Yu Yuan were leading the troops, waiting for the Puyang defenders to come to their doors on their own initiative.


    "General Yu, something is wrong. The collapse of the Puyang West City Wall has been around for a stick of incense. The Puyang defenders should have broken through long ago. Why hasn''t there any movement yet?" Qin Niu said with a serious face.


    "Don''t worry, General Qin, the Puyang defenders cannot sit and wait for death, they will definitely break through, and both north and south are dead, so we just need to guard the east here and wait for the enemy to come to us." Yu Yuan said with a smile.


    As soon as the words were finished, soldiers came to report.


    "Report to the general, the Wei Ming coalition forces broke through the North Gate and were fighting with our North Gate."


    "What?"


    Qin Niu and Yu Yuan both screamed, obviously not expecting that the Wei Ming coalition would break out to the north. After all, this is a life-and-death road.


    "General Yu, you stay and command the army. I will lead all the cavalry to intercept the enemy." Qin Niu said in a deep voice.


    When Yu Yuan heard this, although he was a little reluctant, he nodded and said, "Okay."


    In this way, the two acted separately, Yu Yuan led an army of 13,000 into the city, while Qin Niu led two thousand cavalry to support the North Gate.


    Among the 20,000 Wei Ming coalition forces breaking through the north gate, not only were Jiang Hengchu, Yu Rongwang and Niu Hong, but also commanded by the famous general Lan Yu.


    In contrast, the Qin army had only 5,000 troops garrisoned at the North Gate, and they didn''t expect that the powerful generals would naturally find it difficult to hold back the 20,000 troops of breakout under Lan Yu''s command.


    Jiang Wenhuan, Yu Rongwang and Niu Hong all came out, and the Qin army''s defense line was instantly pierced like paper.


    Liu Yi, the general in charge of commanding the North Gate Army, saw that it could not stop the Wei Ming coalition forces from breaking through, and forcibly blocking would have the risk of being defeated. He could only order the entire army to retreat to the camp and allow Lan Yujun to leave.


    Seeing that Liu Yi did not dare to fight, Lan Yu naturally had no idea of ??getting involved with him. After all, breaking through is the top priority at the moment.


    Seeing Lan Yujun running away under his nose, Liu Yi couldn''t help but feel anxious in his heart and paced back and forth, "Why are the reinforcements not there yet? If the enemy doesn''t come again, they will really run away..."


    Before he could finish his words, news came that Qin Niu led two thousand cavalry to aid.


    Liu Yi was naturally overjoyed and quickly ordered the entire army to attack, with more than 4,000 Qin infantrymen, plus two thousand Qin cavalry, and at the same time, he rushed towards the Lan Yu army that broke north.


    Lan Yu had long guessed that reinforcements would come to the Qin army, but they did come faster than he expected. In desperation, he could only lead 5,000 infantry and cavalry, as well as the three generals Jiang Wenhuan, Yu Rongwang and Niu Hong, and left behind to cut off the rear. At the same time, Mu Ying led his army to continue to break out north.


    The two sides fought for an hour, and Lan Yu''s five thousand infantry and cavalry had fought to less than a thousand. Until Le Jin in the west of the city surrendered, and the army broke through had already run far away, he led the army to retreat north.


    Looking at the direction of Lan Yu''s retreat, Qin Niu smiled coldly, but did not order a pursuit.


    "General, if you don''t chase after the enemy now, it will not be easy to catch up if you want to chase the enemy."


    "What''s the hurry? Since Lan Yu breaks north, he will definitely pass through our territory. You can ask the defenders along the way to send troops to intercept Lan Yu in order to delay Lan Yu''s advance. Even if Lan Yu has the ability to reach the sky, he cannot escape."


    Although Qin Niu said this, he was actually waiting for Yu Yuan. He just failed to take down the three generals Jiang Wenhuan, Yu Rongwang and Niu Hong. Even if he caught up, he still couldn''t take it. It would be better to wait until Yu Yuan arrives and chase him again.


    Even the evil who had just broken through 107 could fight against three war gods alone, let alone Qin Niu who could resist Niu Mowang in the short term.


    The reason why Qin Niu couldn''t take over the three generals Jiang Wenhuan, Yu Rongwang and Niu Hong was mainly because Yu Rongwang''s "Driving God" had the effect of sealing weapons. After his weapon skills and sword gods were sealed, his martial power value was directly reduced by 4 points, but it was also added to Yu Rongwang.


    As one goes up and the other goes down, Qin Niu finds it difficult to exert all his combat power, so he can''t win over the three generals for a long time. But if there is a helper, the situation will be completely different.


    Yu Yuan did not let Qin Niu wait for a long time, and soon led a thousand light cavalry to come. After the two met, they led three thousand cavalry to pursue Lan Yu north.


    At the same time, Bai Qi also learned about Lan Yu breaking north and the pursuit of Qin Niu Yuyuan, but he didn''t care. After all, compared with the strategy after conquering Puyang, Lan Yu who broke through was not worth mentioning at all.


    For Bai Qi, the most urgent task should be to march as quickly as possible before Cao Wei could react, march straight into the country, attack Jiyin County, and completely decide Cao Cao''s retreat.


    Therefore, after capturing Puyang, Bai Qi was not even ready to count the casualties, so he immediately summoned all his generals to continue his march to Jiyin.
