Zhang Ni's attack from behind brought out almost all the infantry, leaving only hundreds of wounded soldiers in Chiyang City. After a whole day of rapid march, only three infantrymen arrived on the east bank of Jingshui in time to join the battle.

More than a thousand people.

Even so, when the Wei army found out that their way back was cut off, their morale collapsed. They could no longer resist and chose their own paths to escape. Zhang Yi and Wu Que led their sergeants to pursue them one after another until the sun went down and night fell.

Only after arriving did he withdraw his troops and return.

"Your Majesty, you are lucky to have fulfilled your mission. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise you would have almost missed the important event." Zhang Ni came to the west bank to see Yang Qing.

Yang Qing smiled and said: "Haha, you came at the right time to give the Wei army the final blow." After a pause, he then asked: "By the way, what's going on over there in Chiyang City? Have you left anything behind?

Are the soldiers and horses staying behind?"

"I left more than 500 wounded soldiers in Chiyang, and another 200 people to take care of them," Zhang Ni replied.

Yang Qing nodded and said: "We have to send someone to pick them up. Yan and that guy are speeding south with thousands of soldiers and horses. If they are encountered, they will be in danger."

Now that Bian Bao and Dunn's nearly 7,000 cavalry have been defeated, Yang Qing's next plan is to return to Anling and join forces with Zhuge Liang's army to defeat Cao Zhen. Therefore, Chiyang City is now no longer a threat to the Han army.

There is no need to hold on.

"Yes, Yi will go and make arrangements right away to pick them up overnight," Zhang Yi said.

At this time, the pontoon bridge connecting the Han troops on the east bank across the river had been basically set up. The Han troops on the east bank were crossing the river one after another after cleaning the battlefield. Wu Que and Liu Yin came side by side towards Yang Qingxing after counting the results of the battle.

"Your Majesty, Shu Qi and I have roughly calculated the results of the battle," Liu Yin said, cupping his fists.

Yang Qing turned around and said with a smile: "Oh? Okay, come and listen."

"Yes." Liu Yin said: "In this battle, our army killed the Wei general Bian Bao, with more than 2,700 people under Dunn. The Wei army fell into the Jing River and drowned more than 1,200 people, and captured 1,330 Wei soldiers.

One hundred and fifty-seven people, more than 3,100 intact horses, more than 1,000 pieces of armor, more than 3,000 pieces of leather armor, and countless other military supplies were captured. Only more than 1,000 Wei soldiers escaped by chance and disappeared."

"Okay, very good. You have all worked hard. I will ask for credit for you when I see the Prime Minister." Yang Qing said happily.

Liu Yin and others were also overjoyed and cheered heartily for victory. Infected by this, the soldiers all echoed in unison, and the cheers resounded throughout the world.

At this time, the camp had been set up, and everyone went inside to warm themselves over the fire and talk. Yang Qing said: "Thousands of cavalry have been wiped out, and Cao Zhen's plan to wait for reinforcements has come to nothing. He will arrive at Anling City tomorrow to meet up with the Prime Minister.

, Cao Zhen is just daydreaming if he wants to defend the city.

I expect that next he will either mobilize Yicheng, and the martial Wei army will come to support, or he will abandon the city and break out of the siege. Either outcome will be beneficial to our army. At that time, it will depend on how the Prime Minister and he will deal with it."

"Your Majesty, my army will take a greater initiative after this battle. Cao Zhen is the commander-in-chief of the Puppet Wei in Guanzhong. His death is related to the entire battle in Guanzhong. It can be said that one move can affect the whole body.

If our army can capture and kill him in one fell swoop, there is hope that Chang'an can be recovered and Guanzhong can also be restored." Zhang Yi nodded in agreement.

Liu Yin said: "Even if the thief is not captured and killed, the Wei army's deployment in the Wei River area is still in a passive state across the board. Even if our army cannot conquer Chang'an, it can at least recapture other cities."

"Well, Xiuran is right. Judging from the current situation, we are sure to make a profit no matter what." Yang Qing said with a smile.

Tao Gong said: "Haha, I'd better make up my mind. After being driven out of Anling by Cao Zhen, I felt bad in my heart. I thought I had lost the battle. I didn't want our army to be overwhelmed before the tenth day.

The money you make makes you smart and resourceful, and I admire you very much, Old Tao."

"Hey, this is all the result of your hard work, and I am just talking." Yang Qing waved his hand and said modestly.

After a pause, he continued: "Now the only thing that someone is worried about is food and grass. The food and grass in several surrounding counties has probably been plundered by our army and the Wei army. At present, the prime minister is leading an army of 20,000 to march eastward. Although there are some losses on the way,

Supplementary, but still can't last long.

Therefore, we still need to use our troops quickly, not to give the Wei army a chance to breathe, and strive to settle the battle as soon as possible. It is getting late, so you should go back and rest early, and we will rush to Anling early tomorrow morning."

Everyone agreed in unison, bid farewell to Yang Qing and went back to their camps to rest. Early the next morning, Yang Qing ordered Zhang Ni to lead two thousand infantry to stay at the same place and guard the west bank of Jingshui River to meet the soldiers who were coming from Chiyang, and then blocked them.

Yan He's army returned to aid Anling.

He himself, Liu Yin and others led nearly 5,000 light cavalry to Anling. Yesterday's battle captured more than 3,000 war horses, which was more than enough to supply 5,000 sergeants for horseback march. Although the more than 2,000 new soldiers were only proficient in equestrian skills, they were not strong.

Building momentum and scaring Cao Zhen is enough.

The west bank of Jingshui River was only twenty or thirty miles away from Anling City. He galloped and arrived at Anling City in less than an hour. Zhuge Liang had already received the news of success and personally led Yang Yi, Guan Xing and others to the north city to greet him.

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory, ten thousand victory, ten thousand victory..."

When the Han troops besieging the city saw their own cavalry approaching, they couldn't help but cheer. Cao Zhen in the city was shocked when he heard that Zhuge Liang had arrived with reinforcements, and hurried to the north city head to inspect the situation.

"Where did Zhuge Liang get the reinforcements? How did they get from the Jingshui River?" Cao Zhen looked at the thousands of Han cavalry galloping outside the city and couldn't help but exclaimed. Although he was surprised and uncertain, he actually had a vague guess.

, I just can’t believe it.

But the words of Wu Kun next to him made him have to accept the cruel reality, but he heard Wu Kun pointing to the general flags fluttering in the wind outside the city and said: "General, the leader is Shu general Yang Qing. Look, there is his general flag.

"

"Yang Qing? It is indeed Yang Qing. The fact that he is here means that Bian Bao, Dunn and the others..." Cao Zhen did not say any more.

Wu Kun understood what he meant and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't. He had no choice but to sigh.

Not to mention that the Wei army on the city was gloomy and gloomy, but the Han army below the city was in a lively atmosphere and cheered endlessly.

"I have met the Prime Minister." Yang Qing got off his horse and led Liu Yin and others to bow to Zhuge Liang.

Although it was the cold winter, Zhuge Liang still held the feather fan in his hand. He was holding the fan handle upside down, stepped forward to help Yang Qing up, and laughed and said: "Haha, please get up quickly, Mingzhi, please get up quickly, everyone.

"

"I haven't seen you for a few months. How are you, Prime Minister?" Yang Qing, Guan Xing and others asked after seeing the ceremony.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Okay, I'm fine. Especially after hearing the news that you have won consecutive battles in the past two months, I feel even more relaxed."

"Haha, it seems that I have to keep winning from now on, otherwise it would be a sin to make the Prime Minister's mood worse." Yang Qing joked.

Everyone laughed when they heard him teasing the Prime Minister. Guan Xing said: "The Prime Minister is in a good mood, but our General Cao is in a very bad mood at this time."

"I'm afraid General Cao is watching us from the north wall right now. Prime Minister, would you like to inform him of our army's great victory on both sides of the Jingshui River so that General Cao can celebrate with us?" Yang

Qing smiled evilly.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I know you still remember the shame of being driven out of Anling by Cao Zhen not long ago, so whatever, I will let you take revenge and vent your anger."

He turned around and told Yang Yi: "Mr. Wei, arrange for the sergeants to shout to the city and inform Cao Zhen and all the Wei troops of our army's victory."
