Chapter 1073 Surrender
Guangchang City is surrounded by mountains and is located in a valley. A road to the northeast leads to Fanyang County, Youzhou, and a road to the southeast leads to Zhongshan Country.
After leaving Guangchang City, Lin Li took the lead and led his men and horses to the northeast.
Ma Yuan followed behind and saw that Lin Li was heading to Youzhou. He thought Lin Li had made a mistake in his busy schedule and took the wrong path. He hurriedly urged the horse to rush up and said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, you have taken the wrong path. Going here is the way to Fanyang County. Only in the southeast can you reach Zhongshan."
Lin Li looked back at him and said lightly: "Of course I can tell which road is Youzhou and which road is Jizhou. We know that the Bingzhou army naturally knows it, so the Bingzhou army will definitely set up an ambush on the way south. When we go to Zhongshan, we are afraid that we will fall into their trap. Only by going to Fanyang can we break out of the Bingzhou army."
The Bingzhou army surrounded three quarries and one, which did not mean that they would deliberately let them go, but that it was very likely that they would set up an ambush on the road they had to retreat and ambush them. In this way, even if they left Guangchang City, they would not be able to escape.
What is the necessary path? It must be the path they must take. The army of a large group belongs to the Jizhou army, so according to common sense, they will naturally flee to the base camp of the Jizhou army and even join Lu Zhao. Therefore, the road to Zhongshan south is naturally their must-pass.
Since they had to follow this road, the Bingzhou Army would definitely guess that as long as they set up an ambush at the dangerous places on this road, they would wait to catch the turtle in the jar.
Of course, Lin Li would not fall into the trap. He gave up Guangchang City just to find a way to escape, otherwise it would be meaningless to abandon Guangchang City.
That's why he turned against common sense and led his army to Youzhou. Ma Yuan and the soldiers could not have imagined this, and I'm afraid the Bingzhou army would not have imagined it, so let the ambush they set up to have a happy mood.
Ma Yuan then suddenly realized, "My brother-in-law is still smart. The people of Bingzhou would never have dreamed that our Jizhou army would defect to Youzhou."
Lin Liyu said earnestly: "So, this soldier is a treacherous way. For generals, they must judge the situation and change their situation when the opportunity is right, so that they can be invincible. You, learn more in the future."
As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, he heard the sudden shouts of killing in front of him, and countless Bingzhou troops came out, surrounding them. The leader was Wang Jin, the former army captain of the Bingzhou Army Infantry Battalion.
Wang Jin looked at Lin Li with a embarrassed face and laughed: "It's true that General Yang expected. I've been waiting here for a long time."
Yang Hu surrounded Guangchang with three quarries and one, with the purpose of forcing Lin Li to abandon the city and escape, and not giving him a chance to survive and die with Guangchang. Even if Lin Li had the idea of fighting to the death, he might be in front of him, and not many soldiers would follow him to die.
But would Yang Hu really let them escape? It is obviously impossible. With such strong strength as the infantry battalion, it would have to deal with a miscellaneous army with only a few thousand people, and let them run away most of them. If it spreads, Yang Hu's face would probably be lost in the Bingzhou army.
This time, we must not only win, but also win a great victory. We must not let Guangchang's enemy escape. Therefore, Yang Hu specially sent Wang Jin to lead 3,000 people to ambush the road from Guangchang to Fanyang, preparing to ambush the fleeing Jizhou army.
The reason why it was on Fanyang Road rather than Zhongshan Road was that Yang Hu naturally expected Lin Li not to walk on Zhongshan Road. Lin Li wanted to play tricks with him, but he was just showing off his skills.
Seeing that he was plotted to death by others, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh that he was doomed today. Only by fighting to kill a path of blood may he have a chance to escape.
But if he wanted to rush out, he had to ask Wang Jin whether he would agree. In the previous battle at Feihu Pass, Wang Jin was unable to wipe out the defending enemy and let the defending general Ma Yuan escape. Although Yang Hu did not rebuke him, Wang Jin still blamed himself. This time, he had already held his breath and could not have another fish that could escape the net.
The battle ended very quickly. Although Lin Li wanted to fight, his men were too weak, and his army was disintegrating and he had no fighting spirit. When the Bingzhou Army rushed up, many people lost their courage to resist and surrendered directly.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Lin Li continued to fight, but it would be just a few more lives. Instead of dying here meaninglessly, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible. I heard that the Bingzhou Army had the practice of treating prisoners preferentially. There was no hope of becoming an official in this life, but it was still possible to be a commoner.
Lin Li glanced at Ma Yuan and wanted to ask him not to resist, but he didn't expect that this guy was even more timid. Seeing that the situation was not good, he had already thrown away his weapons and raised his hands high, for fear that the swords and guns of the Bingzhou Army would accidentally hurt him.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li could only smile helplessly and surrender to the Bingzhou army that was rushing up.
Once the commander surrendered, the remaining people lost their fighting spirit. Before the Bingzhou army could rush up, they threw away their weapons and lined up to surrender to the Bingzhou army.
This battle was a straightforward battle. Not only did the Bingzhou army not suffer any casualties, but also did not die in Jizhou army, and a large number of thousands of people fell to their knees.
Wang Jin ordered all their weapons to be confiscated and escorted back to Guangchang.
Lin Li and others were escorted to the camp of Bingzhou Army, but seeing that the camps of Bingzhou Army were orderly, uniform in the army, and strict in the queue, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh that it was not unfair to lose to such an opponent.
Moreover, Lin Li also saw the catapult car that made them terrified. The catapult car that was several meters tall did not look so intuitive in the distance. Now that he stood in front of him, it was really amazing. It was towering like wooden towers, and it was completely different from the catapult car that Lin Li had seen before.
What surprised Lin Li the most was that there were only a small number of soldiers next to these catapults, and there was no rope that pulled the catapult. He was very puzzled. There were no large number of people to operate, so how did these catapults throw the millstone-sized stone bombs onto the city wall?
Lin Li soon met Yang Hu. Yang Hu was kind and bowed to him with a smile: "General Lin, I'm lucky to meet you. I'm sorry for being in a bad mood. I'm sorry for being in a bad mood."
Lin Li hurriedly bent down to salute, and said in a slight fear: "Why dare General Sheep to be the leader of the defeated general?"
Yang Hu said: "General Lin is willing to surrender sincerely, so we will be our own family in the future. Governor Cao has an order that anyone who surrenders will be recruited in his original position. If anyone who has made meritorious service, he can also be promoted and promoted."
