Chapter 102: Encirclement and Suppression of Yan Xing
Although he knew that there were changes in the rear, although his brother's family and family were all in Sichuan, although the chaos in the rear made the generals uneasy, although this news would cause rebellion once it spread in the army...... Although there were so many, Ma Yue did not dare to wave his army north, let alone leave Ji County.
He understood that at this time, once he was distraught and returned to the north, then Hanyang would be completely finished. As far as he knew about Han Sui, that man was thoughtful, and he would not leave him a little opportunity to take advantage of, and he must have prepared enough strong horses in the direction of his home, just waiting for him to lead the remnants of the defeated army into the net.
"Uncle, lead the army back!" The first to sit still was not Li Dao, Guo Yan and other guest generals, knowing that the clan was roughly fighting with Han Sui at this time, Ma Chao took the lead in getting up and said: "Even if Han Sui prepares a large army, my nephew will also rush for you, Hanyang is the foundation of my uncle's life, if Hanyang is lost, my uncle will be in danger!" β
"Envoy, take me back to kill me!" This is Gan Ning, got up and said succinctly: "My subordinates will charge the battle for you and capture that treacherous man!" β
Guan Yu lowered his head and looked serious, he was not like Gan Ning and the others, his family was all in Sichuan, he wanted to lead his troops back to Hanyang more than anyone else. But he was silent for a long time, shook his head with difficulty, and said slowly: "I can't go back, if it is you, there will be ambushes on the difficult road, and as soon as the army withdraws, Gongming Yanming and Peng Tuo's three-way soldiers and horses will be thrown into the Jedi, and Ji County and Xixian County will also be broken by Song Jian, with Han Sui in the north and Song Jian in the south, under the attack in both directions...... Can 3,000 remnants survive? β
Ma Yue heard Gan Ning call himself an envoy, and shook his head a little embarrassed at the moment, counting Xixian and Ji County, there are only seven or eight county towns that he can control, where is there such a 'envoy', the city will be lost!
Guan Yu's words made everyone stunned, everyone fell into silence, and Jiang Xu's heart was the most uneasy. His clan is all in Ji County, although there are more than 1,000 soldiers, but if there is no main force of the Han army, where will it be Song Jian's opponent. If it was before, now Ji County is the grain and grass camp and the commander of the Liangzhou Han Army, if Ma Yue goes north, will he still have to move the clan to follow?
After thinking about it, Jiang Xu hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about military rations, even if the rear grain road is cut off, the Jiang family can also provide food for the sergeants, just ask Jun not to let the thieves attack the county and destroy the people's livelihood!" β
"Brother Jiang means to stick to Ji County? It's not proper, Ji County can't hold on. "To this day, what is he holding onto, and if he clings to it, he is afraid that he will die in the city. As soon as Song Jian's army arrived, there was no depth, and he used nothing to fight with Song Jian's army. However, all the generals were brave and brave people, and he was not encouraged by the despondency he imagined, and said at the moment: "Hold on to Ji County for the time being, and wait for the forward to find out the enemy's situation, the key now is not in us, but in Xu, Yan and Peng Tuo brothers." β
"As for Hanyang, the whip can't reach it, and he can't come back to help." Ma Yue closed his eyes, "Just ask for ...... Brother can stick to Longxian and wait for the change. β
In desperation, Ma Yue could only pray secretly, and at the same time had a little hope in his heart, hoping that his brother could bring him a little surprise. Before he returned to Liangzhou, Han Sui had also attacked Longxian several times, and his brother and his brother failed to make Han Sui succeed several times, but I don't know if this time, my brother can still bear it!
β¦β¦
Zhutu Mountain, the main army of the head of the river.
After a crushing victory in Rongqiu, although the battle line was pushed forward nearly a hundred miles, to the territory of Hanyang. But Song Jian's first army can be said to have suffered heavy losses, the 30,000 army is now cut out of the 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the Western Front, the battle of Rongqiu was killed and wounded, and the Chinese army was cut down by the enemy generals, and the morale fell sharply and was pursued and scattered by most of the cavalry of Ma Yue, and only 9,000 soldiers and horses were left under the Zhutu Mountain.
In that battle, he taught Song Jian to lose more than half of it, how could he not be in pain!
At this moment, Song Jiantun did not move his troops in Zhutu Mountain, and only sent a few scouts to Ji County to investigate, and the siege equipment seemed to be preparing to storm the city. But in fact, Song Jian was not so reckless, he did this just to put some pressure on Ma Yue, as early as a few days ago, he sent a message to the Wudu departments to mobilize troops from Xixian to break through the Hanyang border, and then directly attack Ma Yue after defeating the defenders of Xixian under Dong Zhuo's department.
When the time comes, won't it be happy that all parts of Hanyang will be captured?
Zhutu Mountain is a landmark mountain at the junction of Hanyang and Longxian, north of Zhutu Mountain is a large grassland, the deep forest in the southwest has been spreading to Longxi County, and the northeast is the coexistence of deep forest and grassland, which means that in addition to the north of Zhutu, it is not easy for most of the troops to march in other places, which is a problem that both sides of Ma and Song must face, so he stationed troops with this, waiting for the Wudu army to Linxi County.
Song Jianzheng recruited a few cronies and generals to discuss how to break through Ji County as quickly as possible when the Wudu army came over, and suddenly there was a scout report, and the corpses of the thirteen horsemen who went to the north were found in the vast grassland. It is forty miles away from Zhutu Mountain.
Hearing this, Song Jian couldn't help but be furious, returning to the horse tent was his painstaking effort, every cavalry was an elite sergeant who gathered the wealth of the river head, even if it was only used as a horseman, five hundred horse tents gathered together were enough for two thousand people. But now the Thirteen Riders are dead, and there is no clue to check?
In fact, Song Jian knew that there was no need for any clues at all, this must be Ma Yue's subordinates, or even Ma Yue himself, ambushing troops in the northern grassland, trying to rob the camp!
Song Jian immediately ordered and said: "Gather the troops, send two thousand cavalry teams to search for the traces of the Han army on the grassland, and if you find it, you will immediately kill them all, leaving no one alive!" Second brother, you go to the camp and supervise another 2,000 soldiers and horses to wait for a strategy to prevent an enemy from the north. Send out scouts to the east and search the woods along the foot of the hill to prevent the enemy from going behind you. β
Under the battle order, the cavalry at the head of the river was mobilized rapidly, and the Qiang men carried spears and horses and galloped out of the camp, and searched for the grassland in the north. Almost an hour after the departure of the two thousand troops, the Qiang cavalry reported that they had found the enemy's traces twenty miles to the north, and their scouts followed the footprints to a rudimentary camp, which the enemy had heavily defended and they did not dare to approach, and asked the king what to do.
Detectives learned that the enemy forces were only small forces, numbering only a few hundred. Without the slightest hesitation, Song Jian ordered them to attack the enemy camp, and by accident, Song Jian ordered the withdrawal of the scouts to the east.
It was the 500 cavalry led by Yan Xing who invaded Song Jian in the north of Zhutu Mountain, but now there are only 493 cavalry left, and in Yan Xing's opinion, those cavalry who returned to the horse tent at the head of the river are real warriors. His four scouts only fled back to report to them, and all three horsemen folded on the grassland, and later sent a hundred horsemen to chase and kill and finally still lost four horsemen, and the surging battle intent of those people who were not afraid of death made his subordinates feel terrified, but Yan Xing knew that this was like Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army, there were not so many of them.
Yan Xing knows so much? If this kind of soldier Song Jian didn't say that there were more than 3,000, the two armies would have swept Rongqiu when they faced each other, and they would have lost more than half?
However, Yan Xing also knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, and he deliberately asked the sergeant to leave horseshoe prints to lead the enemy to the camp a few days ago, which was already full of horse traps and horse spurs. Fifty horsemen were left to spy outside, and four hundred horsemen hid among the undulating meadows, waiting for the enemy to pursue them.
He was going to fight a turnaround battle in this camp to further weaken the enemy's advantage.
Yan Xing was fearless, he thought that Song Jian would not send too many enemy troops this time, after all, it was only a small group of scattered horses, so he would not make a big move.
But he was wrong.
When the Qiang people rushed to his camp in groups, Yan Xing knew that he was completely wrong, it was not two or three hundred horsemen as he imagined, it was a whole team of 1,000 people. When he was in Luoyang, he had seen too many military formations, and he knew how many enemies there were at a glance when he swept through this scattered cavalry formation!
Men have many strange behaviors and reasons. If Yan Yanming was a few years ago, he would have ridden into the battle alone and rushed towards this thousand cavalry enemy army, he would not have the slightest fear, it would be a great life, Lao Tzu would not want it!
But now he can't, the sense of responsibility makes him seem to have lost the bravery he once had, since he has a military position, his shoulders have always been very heavy, just like the main stallion often taught him, he is a general, not a big soldier. The lives of more than 400 brothers behind him are hanging on his shoulders, where does he dare to act willfully?
Looking at the cavalry who were left in the camp by himself at a loss, Yan Xing was full of anger but did not dare to order his subordinates to attack, when the enemy rushed to the front, he could only watch his subordinates not have time to block with spears and were poked by three or four spears, and he was killed at the moment. More soldiers were smarter, and watched the enemy retreat into the camp, but this was only a short shelter and could not save their lives at the hands of the enemy.
His subordinates were slaughtered, but he could only lock up under the small hill and watch, this feeling made Yan Xing tremble, he roared in his heart, hoping that the enemy army would rush into the camp at once, rush into the camp quickly, and stop slaughtering my brother and my robe! But to no avail, the men he had left behind in the camp were almost dead and wounded in a few breaths, and only the endless wails of the battlefield shook his heart.
He turned to look around, and the men who were lying in ambush beside him looked at him with suspicion, as if to blame him for why he chose those brothers to die, but he stood here without saying a word.
This is not the Central Plains, the minds of the men in the cool land are swayed by feelings, they don't care about how many enemy troops there are, obviously as long as you say a word, we will fight with them, but our leader, what are you hesitating about?
"Get on the horse with so-and-so, don't fall behind!" Yan Xing whispered orders left and right, and the orders were passed on one by one, until everyone grabbed the reins, Yan Xing squinted his eyes and stared at the enemies who were showing off their might in the empty camp, and roared almost madly: "Rush with a certain person, kill them!" β
Yan Xing patted the horse's buttocks and the horse ran first, followed the horse galloping a few steps, his arms pressed lightly on the horse's back, and his body had already soared into the air on the horse, and more than 400 angry Hanyang warriors in the roar charged towards the stunned enemy army, Yan Xing dragged the tail end of the iron spear and slammed it with the enemy cavalry at the same time, and the thirty-five pound mixed iron spear was wrapped in a huge force so that the enemy in front of him would die when he touched it, and he would be injured when he was hit. This Danshan military horse carrying the captain of the Han family set off a bloody storm on the land, rushing from the east of the camp to the west of the camp, crossing the heavy chariots and horse pits, and the enemy either turned into stumps and broken arms that fell behind them or fell off their horses and were trampled into flesh.
Behind him, the Han cavalry was also all brave, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and nearly a thousand enemy cavalry were scattered. Just as Yan Xing was showing his might, many enemy troops had already surrounded him, but more than three hundred did not stop the angry Yan Yanming from continuing to charge. But on the other side of the steppe, on the horizon, he saw more cavalry galloping with swords and swords, and the large banner of Song characters on them was enough to make Yan Xing invincible.
With a whistle, Yan Xing's prancing horse galloped on the battlefield and ordered the deployment to retreat northward, and then turned back and rushed into front of the formation to pick up and overturn several enemy horses.
"Everyone retreat, I, Yan Yanming, will break off!" Suddenly slashing the enemy out of a gap, Yan Xing's horizontal spear immediately shouted: "The daredevils step forward!" β
