Jiang Qi's death was just a merit for Ma Dai, but for the entire Hanoi, one who had the right to mobilize military power was trapped and the other died in battle. No one was in command of the troops in the Hanoi counties. Cui Geng took advantage of the situation to occupy all the Yewang, Heyang, Pinggao, and prefectures and counties, and the troops were directly aimed at Huai County, the county seat.

Within ten days, half of Hanoi was taken into account by the Guanzhong army, and the defenders of each county almost never resisted, and the Yan Liangliang Road was completely cut off.

The siege was already completed. Although Wen County had not been completely surrounded, Gao Shun asked Ma Dai to bring some surrendered soldiers, and did not arrange for them to be an insider. He just let them know the current situation in Hanoi and put them into the city to persuade Yan Liang to surrender.

These surrendered soldiers had already been defeated and surrendered. They didn't understand why Gao Shun let them back, so they went straight to Wen County and asked Yan Liang to take them into the city.

After Yan Liang confirmed that there were no ambush around him, he asked someone to take them to the city with a rope.

"Since you are Jiang Qi's generals, where is Jiang Qi now?" Yan Liang called these people and asked.

These people naturally dare not say that they had surrendered and were released by the enemy. They only said that Jiang Qi was in Zhuang County. Bo County was defeated one after another due to insufficient troops. When they fled to Wen County, they met Guanzhong general Ma Dai. Jiang Qi was killed and the remaining soldiers fled. They fled all the way to Wen County.

Jiang Qi's death made Yan Liang feel a little guilty. If he could give more troops to Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi might not have died in such a battle. But if it weren't for his sufficient troops, Wen County might have followed in the footsteps of Zheng County and Bo County. The Guanzhong Army came in full force this time, but the lord's preparation was quite insufficient, and the troops guarding in Hanoi were far from enough.

Of course, this is also because Hanoi experienced several wars and most of the population was taken away by Chen Mo. The Hanoi tribes, such as the Sima family, have already gone to Yecheng to seek shelter. Although there are countless fertile land, this place has become the forefront of the confrontation between Yuan Shao and Chen Mo. Even the remaining population, those with ability, migrate to the north. Today, Hanoi has a large population that is not as good as before.

Chen Mo wanted Hanoi and wanted to have a place to make enough efforts on the north bank. Yuan Shao obviously did not care too much about Hanoi after losing his population. Yan Liang stationed his troops here because after failing to capture Chenggao, he found that Chen Mo frequently transferred troops, so that Yan Liang and Jiang Qi stayed here to guard against Chen Mo's attack. Otherwise, Chen Mo would be easier to take Hanoi than now.

Judging from the reaction speed, the gap between Yuan Shao, Chen Mo and Cao Cao was reflected in this battle. Chen Mo and Cao Cao mobilized troops relatively smoothly and more timely. Yuan Shao's reaction speed and adaptability were undoubtedly half a step slower. Yan Liang's letter of help had been sent to Yecheng for several days. At this time, Yuan Shao had just begun to mobilize troops and ordered Han Meng to lead his army to help. But even if reinforcements arrived and could save Huai County, it would not be easy to lift the siege of Wen County.

Yan Liang felt a little heavy when he learned that Wen County had become an isolated city, but he was quite confident in defending Wen County. After all, Wen County was strong and had sufficient troops and food. Even if the enemy cut off the food route, it would be enough to last a long time and enough to allow Yuan Shao to attack back. Now he just needs to stick to it.

However, rumors spread among the counties around Wen County gradually spread among the army, and the uneasiness spread without any reinforcements arriving.

Perhaps in Yan Liang's opinion, this is not a big deal, but the soldiers and civilians guarding the city began to worry about their future. Although Chen Mo's reputation was better and he had never massacred the city, who could guarantee it in such a chaotic world?

Moreover, after the city was broken, it was difficult for those siege soldiers to restrain them.

This and that uneasy mood became more and more serious as time went by. Even though Gao Shun had not conquered the city, the reinforcements and food and grass in the rear were not sent, and his morale began to fall. Some people began to escape. When Yan Liang realized something was wrong, it was difficult to calm down such uneasy mood.

"General, Han Meng has led a large army to Huai County. General Cui lost and retreated to the prefectures and counties. Judging from Han Meng's posture, he seemed to be trying to kill all the way to recapture the city. General Cui sent people to ask for help." Several deputy generals didn't know why Gao Shun surrounded Wen County but did not attack. Now Han Meng is here to kill. If Han Meng is asked to attack Licheng, the siege of Wen County will naturally collapse. All the efforts he has made before will be in vain.

"Transfer our military orders and attack the city tomorrow tomorrow. In this battle, Wen County needs to fight down!" Gao Shun nodded and stood up and said loudly.

"Here!" After hearing this, the generals bowed to answer the order. Although they were wondering why Gao Shun had been siege for so long and did not attack, they attacked the city at this time. Moreover, with the strength of Wen County, even if the Guanzhong army was in large numbers, it would be difficult to fight in one battle?

However, Gao Shun's military orders had been issued, and the generals did not dare to neglect them. They immediately sent orders to prepare for the siege.

The next morning, when Yan Liang was patrolling the city as usual, the Guanzhong army appeared in sight, and arranged neat formations, including catapults, rock chariots, city hammers, and cloud ladders, while large siege equipment such as large siege equipment continued to appear on the battlefield, Yan Liang actually didn't care. With the firmness of Wen County, it was okay to defend for more than a month.

However, when the soldiers officially started and the horn of charge sounded, and the black Guanzhong army pushed various equipment to attack the city, Yan Liang, who had been through the battle formation, realized that something was wrong. The soldiers guarding the city were dispersed and they were powerless in combat. It was useless for Yan Liang to boost morale. People's hearts had dispersed during this period. As the main general, Yan Liang not only did not notice it in time, but he had not even done too many acts to boost morale. At this time, he wanted to encourage him again at the time, but he was unable to arouse him. In anger, Yan Liang even killed several generals to shock the morale of the army, but the results were very little.

As soon as the war started, you could feel the obvious decline of the defenders. Although they successfully blocked the first fierce attack, the price was quite high. Yan Liang was furious and personally picked up the sword and kept killing the Guanzhong army that rushed up to the city. He cut the sword in his hand to the curling blade, but the Guanzhong army was as powerful as a tide. Yan Liang was only one person after all. How could he block the Guanzhong army that was rushing up like a rainbow and tide?

When the war lasted until noon, Yan Liang also began to exhaust himself. He was already brave and famous, but he was still a flesh and blood body. One person could kill several Guanzhong troops. A faint sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart and would lose! Wen County was afraid that he could not keep it and kept coming out in his heart. The knife in his hand seemed to have lost its power. As time went by, the feeling of powerlessness became heavier and heavier.

Perhaps Yan Liang would never dream of it. One day he would be so rude when fighting. The momentum of moving forward in the past seemed to disappear. No matter how he wanted to bulge it, it would be difficult to do it.

Gao Shun could clearly detect the state of the defender. After looking at the sky, Gao Shun turned his head to look at the flag officer: "Stealing camp...attack!"

"Here!"

The flag officer agreed and waved the order flag repeatedly.

“Woo~”

The sound of the trumpet with peculiar penetration is still clear even on the noisy battlefield. The Guanzhong army, which was sieging the city, spontaneously separated a road, and an army in armor broke out from the army and headed straight to the second wall.

Yan Liang, who was fighting, felt the pressure suddenly eased and his mind relaxed slightly, but when he saw the nightmare army appearing in his sight, he suddenly felt cold all over his body and cold all over his body.

Can't hold on!

Yan Liang's head was cold. Although the knife was still moving, his heart gradually sinks. His already shaky belief was completely destroyed with the emergence of this army.

On that day, this army brought him too much shock. It was twice the opponent's strength. When the morale was in full swing, it was killed by the opponent and fled in a panic. Even Yan Liang, who was brave enough to be the world, could not raise the courage to face such an army.

The already destroyed confidence was completely lost when this army appeared.

"Retreat!" Yan Liang gritted his teeth. The troops appeared. Wen County, which was already shaky, was probably unable to defend it. He chose the wisest approach. Since it was difficult to defend it, he would retain the vitality and then deal with the other party.

It is understandable to make such a choice when the defeat is determined, but when a general who is famous for his passion and courage chooses such a rational approach, it is sad for the general himself.

"Yan Liang is abolished, so it's not worth fearing!" When Gao Shun learned that Yan Liang led his troops to flee from the east gate, he did not ask anyone to intercept him, but ordered people to light up the wolf smoke and let Ma Dai lead the cavalry to follow him and pursue him.

No one understands the meaning of Gao Shun's words. Perhaps it is just a declaration of the winner, but in the battle with the Jizhou army, he gradually discovered that this famous general in Hebei, who was once the bravest of the three armies, seemed to be no longer as powerful as the legend had ever been.

Of course, this is a later story. The war has not yet ended and Wen County has not yet occupied it completely. Although Gao Shun used his troops sharply, he was more cautious. He was not famous for his personal bravery, but every time he fought, he was defeated.

The young general who was not interested in Luoyang and was only responsible for training troops in the West Garden now returned to the Central Plains, but in the first battle it was famous in He. The famous generals in the north had no power to fight back. Gao Shun's name may be awesome from today. Of course, Chen Mo's ability to know people may be even more admired by the world after this battle.

After Gao Shun entered the city, he immediately gathered the camp and said in a deep voice: "Transfer our military orders. Those who kill the people will be killed! Those who plunder the people's wealth will be killed! Those who take the opportunity to cause trouble will be killed!"

The first thing Gao Shun did after entering the city was to strictly enforce military discipline. In this chaotic era, it was actually very common for the army to break through the city and take the opportunity to plunder property. This is almost the default rule. There were not many generals like Gao Shun who strictly restrained their subordinates in this era, and even fewer could be restrained, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say.
