Chapter 765: The Sound of Drums and Horns (37)
The garrison of the five cities such as the whole city poured out under the leadership of Zhou Changshou, crossed the Yishui River, Zhou Changshou looked back at the whole city in the distance, and suddenly felt depressed, quite a feeling of wind and depression and easy water cold, and suddenly shocked in his heart, and gave birth to a bad omen, but he immediately forced himself to raise his mind, this is indeed an adventure, if it succeeds, it is not only him Zhou who will benefit, but also Zhao Guo, who is suffering in the civil war, taking Yuyang, will inject a shot of strength into the current chaotic Zhao State, and it will also greatly hit the rebels of Daijun.
Riding his horse and whipping, he walked without looking back towards the place where the ambush was to be set up. On the first day, Zhao Guang had already led the cavalry to set off first, and their task was to cover the entire battlefield, so that Kong De's Yan army would fall into the shearwater without realizing it.
Zhou Changshou set off with great anticipation, and at this time, Hu Yanchao from Langya County also waited for the messenger from Jicheng. This messenger brought not only the order of Yan Wang Jiling ordering him to send an army to rescue Tianhe County, but also another bad news brought by the messenger, that is, Xintian County of Langya County has been occupied by the Eastern Army. Dressed in disguise, he crossed the mountains and mountains all the way to Langya County, but Hu Yanchao led the reinforcements to arrive at Cuishan Pass, he could only change horses in Langya County, and galloped all the way to Cuishan Pass, when he saw Hu Yanchao, he was in rags, like a beggar on the side of the road.
"How many soldiers of the Eastern Army are there in Xintian County?" Hu Yanchao's hands trembled slightly, but he tried his best to hide that he didn't want his generals to discover his gaffe, Xintian is the main road to Tianhe County, and if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it means that the other party has long wanted to cut off his connection with Tianhe County, and then think of the war in Yuyang, he can't help but look gloomy, in terms of strategy, the Eastern Army has taken the lead everywhere, this is really a big chess. Interlocking, step by step, you simply can't cope.
"It shouldn't be much, I hid on the side and observed for a long time, at most there is only one battalion, more than 1,000 people." The messenger responded, drinking water and swallowing steamed buns.
"These more than 1,000 centaurs should be their vanguard. They have crossed hundreds of miles of uninhabited land to seize Xintian, and the large army should still be dragged behind, whether we can recapture Xintian depends on whether we can seize it before the arrival of their large army, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to take a step beyond the thunder pool. Hu Yanchao sighed.
"Wu Bo!" He shouted.
"The last general!" Wu Bo stood up, and these days, he had been fighting on the front line, fighting several times with the Eastern Army that had captured the Kuoshan Pass. His body was already scarred.
"The Kuoshan Pass will be handed over to you, you can drag it out as long as you can, the longer you hold on, the more time I have." Hu Yanchao said.
"General Hu rest assured. As long as Wu Bo has a breath of air, Kunshan Pass will never miss. Wu Bo straightened his chest and said loudly.
"I really can't hold on, just give up, if I can take Xintian. We can also go back to Tianhe, Gao Yuan once said a word, I think so. If you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will gain all your land. When you can't do anything, retreat and retreat to Langya County. Hu Yanchao thought of that young, vigorous face, shook his head and sighed, how did he get to this point, if there was no fire in Jicheng, no Zhou Yu's ambush on the shore of Dayan Lake, no Tan Feng's big battle in Jishi City, Gao Yuan or still Dayan's general of Zhengdong, the Zhengdong Army will also be Dayan's Zhengdong Army, with such a general, such an army, even if it can't sweep the world, it is enough to make all countries look sideways, and dare not have the slightest contempt for Dayan, and now their own family is bleeding. In the end, the relatives are painful, and the enemies are happy.
"Wang Chang!" Hu Yanchao turned his head to look at his other confidant and favorite general, "You take all our cavalry to collect all the livestock that can be collected, and then take your headquarters of 5,000 men and horses, day and night, to Xintian, do your best, don't be afraid to pay sacrifices, you must take Xintian, otherwise, when the large army of the Eastern Army arrives, there will be no hope." ”
"Yes, General Hu!" Wang Chang responded.
"I'll go back to Langya first, mobilize the forces that can be mobilized, and recruit the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and then I'll arrive. That's it, each of you will take care of your own affairs, gentlemen, for the survival of Dayan, please work hard! Hu Yanchao stood up and bowed deeply to all the generals in the room, the people in this room were basically the generals he brought back from Liaoning Wei.
"I am willing to follow General Hu, do my best, and die!" The generals stood up one after another to return the salute.
Zheng Xiaoyang immediately raised the tent to order troops, looked at the generals under the tent, his face was pale, he knocked on the table heavily, and shouted: "You have also seen that the main force of the enemy in Kunshan Pass is retreating, for what?" Because the governor is advancing in Tianhe County, the Young Guards are a newly established army, except for the officers, all of them are new soldiers, but how others fight, all the way through the barriers, almost once the enemy. Lu Yuanchuan's division of the Second Army, with light troops, advanced with light troops, crossed hundreds of miles of no-man's land, captured Xintian in one fell swoop, stuck Hu Yanchao's throat, and cut off Hu's main road to aid Tianhe. What about us? What are we doing? It's been almost a month in Kunshan Pass, have we won this small level? ”
Inside the house, many generals bowed their heads one by one in shame, although they were aggrieved in their hearts, but they had nothing to say, Kunshan Pass was precipitous, but this was by no means a reason for them to stagnate.
Zheng Xiaoyang's roar was still echoing in the tent, "You are all veterans who have been in the army for many years, there are many people who have come all the way from Fufeng, you are the first army under the Southern Group Army, but now, our friendly troops are making meritorious contributions and destroying the city, but we are suffering humiliation here, if we can't take the Kuoshan Pass, Hu Yanchao's main force will inevitably go straight to Xintian, Xintian now has only one battalion of troops, once lost, Hu will pour into Tianhe, at that time, The governor's plan will inevitably fall short because of our mistakes, if it really comes to this point, I, Zheng Xiaoyang, will have no face to live anymore, so I will directly wipe my neck under the Kunshan Pass, and die. ”
"Defeat the mountain pass!" The generals all turned pale and roared angrily.
"Defeating the Kunshan Pass, so that Hu Yanchao's troops dare not move, and containing his troops is to reduce the pressure on the friendly army in Xintian, as long as the main force of the Second Army arrives in Xintian, Hu Yanchao will not be able to step into Tianhe County with three heads and six arms." Zheng Xiaoyang Huo Di pulled out the saber on his waist and cut the big case in front of him in two with a heavy knife, "From now on, all the troops, take turns to attack, day and night, if they don't take the Kunshan Pass, the war drums will not stop, and the soldiers and horses will not stop." ”
"Kill, kill, kill!" The generals were all excited by Zheng Xiaoyang and screamed.
"Okay, good, I hope that next, I can see you climb the city wall and plant our military flag on the Kunshan Pass." Zheng Xiaoyang said sharply, and the saber was raised high: "Conquer the Eastern Army!" ”
"Wan Sheng!" In the endless sound of drawing knives, the generals drew their knives together, and more than a dozen steel knives struck each other in the air, bursting out with sparks.
Zheng Xiaoyang carried a knife, strode out of his camp tent, and watched his generals fly back to their respective camps, after a pillar of incense, in the camp of the First Army of the Southern Group Army, the sound of war drums rumbled, and one army after another, from the barracks, rushed straight towards the Kunshan Pass.
"Come on, prepare the horses, I will personally supervise the battle!" Zheng Xiaoyang said sharply.
In the Kunshan Pass, after Wu Bo sent away Hu Yanchao and Wang Chang, there were less than 2,000 troops in his hands, and there were many wounded among them, and the Kunshan Pass was even more scarred, these days, there was no effort to repair the city wall, and in many places, the original city wall, after the battlements were destroyed, it was just hastily blocked with sandbags.
The movement in the city is so big, naturally it can't hide the enemy army under the city, sure enough, just one night later, the army of the Eastern Army rushed to the ground again, Wu Bo looked at the rolling Eastern Army, his heart was miserable, he knew that this time, he would never have such good luck as Liaoning Wei.
Although General Hu said that he could retreat as a last resort, how could he retreat now? General Hu and General Wang's soldiers and horses have only been gone for a day, if they retreat in a panic and the opponent takes advantage of the situation to pursue, the main force will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and if you want to open the gap with the other party, you have to hold it for at least two to three days, the question is, can you still hold it for three days?
"The whole army goes to the city, ready to fight!" His deep voice rang out again. "As long as there is one person, one breath, the enemy cannot be allowed to climb the city wall!"
Under the city, Ding Wei stared at Kunshan Pass with blood-red eyes, he was born in Gao Yuan's own soldiers, since his debut with Gao Yuan, he has been invincible and invincible, and he has never suffered such a big loss, but the battle of Kunshan Pass made his division suffer heavy losses, and the entire division was reduced by more than one-third, if it wasn't for Zheng Xiaoyang to lead his troops to keep up in time, he would have been beaten by Hu Yanchao and fled. At this moment, looking at the opponent on the Kunshan Pass, Ding Wei slammed, threw away the helmet on his head, there was a loud noise, and even the Kai armor on his body was taken off, followed by a split of his hands, Zila, the inner robe was also torn in half by him, with bare arms, carrying a knife, Ding Wei looked back at his soldiers, and roared loudly: "Brothers, there are more than 1,000 brothers in our division lying under this pass, and there are many brothers who will never be indispensable to the battlefield in the future, today, we will avenge them, or, let us go to the top of the city, Comfort our comrades with the blood of the enemy, or let us lie here with them! Conquer the Eastern Army! ”
"Wan Sheng!" Behind Ding Wei, more than 2,000 troops roared in unison.
"Attack!" With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, Ding Wei actually rushed to the front of the team. (To be continued......)
