Crash, you must disperse the enemy's formation to destroy the siege equipment.This time the impact was three waves, with a total of 60,000 cavalry and 20,000 cavalry.

After the first wave of cavalry attacks, although there were heavy casualties, the rebel horse was basically destroyed.

After the Jin Xuan Army's big swordsman lost their power, they circled backwards, and square chariots were exposed behind them. After these big swordsmans reached the formation, they turned the square chariots, and the square chariots were connected to form a short wall.

Yan Yan directed the cavalry to attack. Seeing the enemy putting out these things, he knew that the opponent had already prepared for the impact lineup.When I was about to shout for withdrawal, it was too late.

The enemy's chariot formation was first attacked, and the cavalry rushing in front were all falling off like archers.

Occasionally, there were several cavalrymen who had jumped over the chariot formation. Before they could react, the big swords and weapons in the formation quickly attacked, slashing in half with people and horses.

When the cavalry behind saw that the situation was not good, they slowed down, but were hit by the cavalry behind them and suddenly became in chaos.

At this time, the cavalry of the Jin Xuan Army began to move, and the cavalry surrounded the side and rear of the Xichuan Army from both wings, while the infantry pushed the chariot slowly forward.

The gold was coming, and Liu Yan on the top of the city saw that the signs were not good, so he ordered the withdrawal of his troops.

At this time, the city gate was in chaos, and the troops retreated to the city gate, and the team carrying out the task of cutting off the rear had already allowed the Jinxuan cavalry to rush over.

Seeing that Jin Xuan's cavalry was about to rush to the city gate, Liu Yan ordered the city gate to close, and more than 50,000 soldiers who had not entered the gate became prisoners of Jin Xuan's army.

The offensive of the Jin Xuan Army did not stop, and the crossbowmen on the fort were constantly shooting the city guards without shields.

While the soldiers were hiding around on the top of the city, the fort was unknowingly leaning against the city wall and opened a door from the height of the fort near the city wall.

Park Daobing kept gushing out of the door, and the soldiers under the city climbed up from the wooden stairs in the fort in sequence and stepped onto the city wall from the door.

With the cooperation of the powerful crossbowmen, Park Daobing quickly controlled the city gate tower. As Jin Xuan soldiers continued to pour in, Jiangzhou soldiers quickly lost confidence in resistance.

Liu Yan led the defeated troops to evacuate the West Gate, and the soldiers who had no time to evacuate were all captured.

Generals Zhuo Ying, Dong He and Shen Dan led their troops to leave the city. The city gate was blocked by Jin Xuan soldiers and had no way around, so they had to dismount and surrender.

In this battle, Zhou Yu led a large army to annihilate 30,000 enemies with less than 4,000 casualties and captured 80,000 enemies.

The army fled to Chengdu with Liu Yan was less than 70,000, and Liu Qi's troops were reduced from 370,000 to 240,000. After Zhou Yu organized more than 70,000 strong troops, the force had reached 310,000.

When Jin Xuan heard of the great victory in Jiangzhou, he ordered the commendation of the meritorious soldiers and appointed Sun Jing as the prefect of Jiangzhou and Zhu Zhi as the garrison of Jiangzhou.

Ji Ling was ordered to lead 40,000 troops to defend Jiangzhou. Zhou Yu commanded Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Xun and others to attack Chengdu and Liu Qi's troops were allocated 140,000 troops in Chengdu, 20,000 troops in each county, and 40,000 troops were appointed.

Liu Qi was extremely frightened when she saw Zhou Yu's army coming here.

At this moment, another unfavorable news came. Liu Biaojun Wenpin's troops set up an ambush for Pang Tong in Jianping and retreated to Jiangling. Cai Mao's troops saw that Wenpin's troops retreated, but they retreated without fighting and returned to Shangyong.

On the Eastern Front, Zhuge Liang used the spy network in his hands to alienate the princes.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought in Hebei and fought in Yijing.

Liu Bei and others all led their troops to Yijing to support Gongsun Zan.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to go north to Chang'an, and took advantage of Anding and Tianshui to send troops to Yijing. The defenses of the two counties were empty and ordered Xiahou Chun and Cao Ren to lead an army of 100,000 to attack. Li Ru and Zhang Ji were defeated in the battle and surrendered in the city.

At this time, Fan Chou led his troops to help Gongsun Zan. Seeing that he had no foundation, he and Li Ru's general Hou Cheng led 60,000 troops to surrender to Gongsun Zan.

At this time, there were all kinds of soldiers in Chengdu, with bad news one after another.First, the King of Jingzhou was defeated and retreated, and then the princes were fighting internally, which greatly reduced the pressure on Jinxuan's eastern front.

In the Liu Qi's mansion, Liu Qi is discussing a plan to withdraw the army with all the civil and military officials.

Yan Yan said: In this battle with Jin Xuan soldiers, our army is already scared. Zhou Yu brought a large army to attack. There are only 140,000 soldiers in our army's city, and the siege tools that Zhou Yu carries are unprecedented and powerful.Our army cannot defend it.Only Cao Cao may be able to compete with the Jin Xuan army today.Our army would rather abandon the city and gather troops at the lower army.The subordinates are coming to Chang'an. If they are in a hurry, they can ask Cao Cao for help. If Cao Cao can leave Tianshui, he will arrive in three days.With the help of Cao Cao, our army may wait for an opportunity to recover the lost land.

The law of the time was right and said: Jin Xuan is kind. Although Meng De has great power, it is not as many as Jin Xuan.If you reduce the gold, you will not lose your wealth.Meng De was a treacherous person, and he used it as a helper, so he led the wolf into the house.If it is a plan for the people of Xichuan, it is better to reduce the Jinxuan.

Some civil and military officials may say that they surrendered to Jinxuan, some that they surrendered to Liu Biao, some that they surrendered to Cao Cao, and some that they surrendered to Yuan Shao, and everyone is divided, but Liu Qi does not know where to follow.

At that time, Liu Qi's eldest grandson Liu Zhang was present. Liu Zhang had studied in Wuling for three months, but later he had no choice but to return because the two kings raised troops against Jin Xuan.Stand up at this moment.

He said: When Sun Xiang was studying in Wuling, he observed the measures of Jinxuan’s new policy and benefited the people.What's more, his military discipline is strict and his military direction has not disturbed the people.Jin Xuan knew that people were good at using them, and only used them was talented. The people of Wuling County respected him like a god.If the princes in the world gather and attack them, they may defeat them.However, now Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others in Yijing, and Cao Cao had no combat power to settle Tianshui and An Ding.Sun and Fa Zheng were envoys, and went to Yong'an to meet Jin Xuan. If Jin Xuan treats us well, he can surrender.If not, go north and surrender to Cao Cao.

When Liu Qi heard that it was reasonable, he asked Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng to go to Yong'an to meet Jin Xuan.

When Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng left the city gate, Zhou Yu had been camped outside the city. Liu Zhang and the other two asked to see Zhou Yu first and said that they wanted to surrender.Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and sent troops to escort the two of them to Yong'an.Stop the siege.

Jin Xuan received a letter from Zhou Yu and went out of the city gate to pick up Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng into the city.The guest of the host sat down, and Fa Zheng said: If my lord, the prince, came to surrender to Xichuan, how can he be placed?

Jin Xuan replied: If someone with talent in Xichuan is sure to use it based on his talent, he will never dare to discriminate.The family of the King of Xichuan, I should provide the salary of the royal palace. The clan members have talent and will definitely use it.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this and asked Jin Xuan to go to Chengdu to take over.Jin Xuan was transferred from Jianping to Zhang Liao to guard Yong'an, and brought Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, Zhurong's wife, Sun Shangxiang and others to Chengdu with 10,000 personal soldiers.

Arriving in Chengdu, Zhou Yu and others took it into the military camp.Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng went to the city to report.

When Liu Qi saw that the troops were at the city, the civil and military officials had no desire to fight, and Jin Xuan promised to protect his wealth.The next day, Liu Qi led all the civil and military officials in Xichuan out of the city to surrender.

Jin Xuan ordered Taishi Ci and Gan Ning to lead 100,000 troops to take over the Lintong and Xiabian counties, and ordered Zhou Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Zhang Xun and others to lead 70,000 troops to take over the Chengdu troops and join forces to defend Chengdu.

Because the entire Xichuan area had been reduced and Jiangzhou had become an inner county, Ji Ling ordered his troops to Yong'an to assist Zhang Liao in garrison.

He led Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhurong's wife and Sun Shangxiang to lead 100,000 troops to take over the two counties of Jianning and Yunnan.

The two generals Taishici and Gan Ning successfully took over Lintong and Xiamen. As Jin Xuan ordered, Gan Ning led 20,000 troops to station in Lintong, and organized 20,000 troops to join the 80,000 troops of the former Lintong guards into Taishici's troops.

He also took over 40,000 troops.

In this way, the number of troops stationed in the army reached 140,000.

Jin Xuanming opened a school branch and a military academy branch in Chengdu, and asked Changsha School and academy to send people to train the civil and military officials in Xichuan.He also ordered the Changsha Military Academy to urgently send 200 political commissars into Xichuan and join the army.

In Chengdu, Zhou Yu sent Wei Yan to lead troops to escort Liu Qi's family to Changsha to settle the house and provide money and grain on a monthly basis.
