Chapter 1469: The Battle in the Heavy Snow of the Han Banner (159)
Wang Changyong is now in the heart of the heart. Wang Zhijun's attack on Yaoqu has made great progress, and has already entered the city, although it has paid a lot of price, but it has forced the enemy on the opposite side to retreat to the inner city for the last resistance, but the few tongues that Yue Peng's side has painstakingly grabbed made Wang Changyong almost collapse.
These people were not the reserves of the Han army, but the troops from the new Qin Wang Scissors. The information obtained from these captives made Wang Changyong suddenly feel that the end had come.
Since it was Wang Jian's troops that were in the way, where did He Lanxiong and Zhao Xilie's original troops go? What are they doing, does it need to be said?
"Retreat, inform Wang Zhijun, and retreat immediately. We are yin by the Han people, this is a trap, a trap! Wang Changyong shouted angrily: "Send someone back to Xianyang immediately, inform General Lu, inform Shannan County, and prepare for defense." Wang Changyong's eyes flashed in front of the grassland defeat that year, and he thought of Li Xin and Wang Xiao in the corpse grassland, will he become the next one?
Wang Zhijun stood on the tower of Yaoqu, facing the wind and snow, the cloak was just lifted by the wind, the banner of the Qin army that had just been planted in the city was hunting in the wind, the Qin army had fully occupied the city wall, the Han army withdrew into the city, but did not go out of the city, it seems that they are ready to fight in the streets, but Wang Zhijun does not have this mind. The soldiers are setting up a thrower above the city, and he is going to blow the city into ruins with explosives, and destroy you wherever you hide.
On the top of the city, where was the artillery of the Han army, but he could not use it, because when the Han army left, although it did not destroy the artillery, it took away the most important part of the artillery, and immediately turned these cannons into a piece of scrap metal.
"Speed up, load the thrower, and blow Yaoqu to the ground for me." Wang Zhijun brandished a big knife and said happily. The soldiers of the Han army were certainly heroic. But a reserve is a reserve, and it is too different from the regular army, both in terms of organization and experience.
In the city, Zhao Youguo, Qian Mingyi, and Zhou Hao gathered together, and the three of them had a look of frustration on their faces, and the three of them were all instructors of Jishi City Military University, whether it was theoretical knowledge or actual combat experience, they were all quite strong, but no matter how rich they were. In the end, it was up to the soldiers below to achieve it, and the reaction of these reserve officers and soldiers was not enough to realize their tactical thinking, and they were finally defeated before the Qin army's attack at any cost and casualties.
"No, we have to counterattack, the other side's intentions are obvious. Look at the throwing machines that are being erected on top of the city, and if we retreat into the city, they will blow the city into ruins, and then we will be in a scumbag. Even if you die, you have to die in the struggle. Zhou Hao picked up the knife and walked straight out.
"Lao Zhao, don't pass it today. See you in the afterlife! Qian Minyi laughed, and also lifted the iron spear erected on the side, tightening the silk. Follow Zhou Hao and walk out.
Zhao Youguo spread his hands, "There is nothing to do, let's take the rest of the men and horses and launch a final onslaught on the enemy, killing one is enough, killing two will earn one, and it will be an hour to stop them here for an hour." Come on, brethren! ”
The three of them walked out of the house where they were hiding, and began to organize their surviving subordinates to prepare for a final counterattack.
Above the city tower, the condescending Wang Zhijun could clearly see that in the alleys of the city, the shadowy enemies were gathering, and they were going to do the act of flying geese to fight the fire? Then let you die convincingly.
A group of Qin troops were ready to attack, and in the city, the throwing machine was already completing the final test.
"General, General Wang!" A stained Qin soldier rushed to the top of the city tower, "The general urgently ordered the whole army to retreat." ”
"What did you say?" Wang Zhijun was stunned, and looked at the messenger from the Chinese army in amazement, "What did the general ask us to do?" ”
"Retreat, the whole army retreats, the general has figured it out, what is in front of us is Wang Jian, it is Wang Jian's main force, he has colluded with the Han people, and now He Lanxiong has led the Han army to intercept our back road, once the Gouxin Department responsible for the smooth flow of the rear road has a problem, our whole army will be finished."
Although it was extremely cold weather, when Wang Zhijun heard these words, a layer of fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his body. The back road was cut off, there was no distance between grain and grass, there were tigers in front and wolves in the back, in the ice and snow, Qin Jun had no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground, I was afraid that compared to Li Xin and Wang Xiao back then, it was not this season at that time.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat now." He waved his arms and roared loudly, the defeated Han army in front of him no longer attracted him in the slightest.
When Zhao Youguo and the remnants of the Han army reserve soldiers rushed out of the hiding place with a shout of confidence that they would die, what caught their eyes was the Qin army that had receded like a tide, and they were so anxious that they did not even dismantle the throwing machine set up on the opposite side of the city and take it away.
"Commander He must have attacked, they know that their back road has been cut off." Zhao Youguo climbed the city tower, looked at the Qin army that was gradually moving away, and excitedly pounded the Fengfeng city wall, "We're going to win, hahaha!" ”
Above the tower, the Han army erupted in cheers, but unfortunately, their strength and ability were not enough for them to launch a counterattack to pursue the retreating Qin army.
But Zhao Youguo didn't care, the Qin army ran away, it was only temporary, Commander Helanxiong took tens of thousands of Han troops around the back of the Qin army, ran past the first day of the new year, but couldn't run fifteen, and after all, it was still going to be destroyed on this land.
A second defeat for the Qin army on this steppe was inevitable.
In the wind and snow, Gou Xin struggled to rush left and right, but in the heavy snow, it seemed that there were soldiers of the Han army everywhere, killing through a layer, but the front would soon reappear again, the Han army moved quickly on the snow, not at all trapped by the snow on the knees of Shentai, on the contrary, they had to struggle in the thick snow, the weight of the war horse and people combined, every step fell, the four hooves of the war horse would fall deep into the snow. Many Qin troops had already jumped off their war horses, using them as a cover, struggling to support them in the wind and snow.
There were fewer and fewer followers around him, and as long as there was a slight gap between the ranks of the Qin army, they would immediately be cut off by the Han soldiers at high speed, and then they would be divided into small sections and annihilated.
The Qin army completely lost its command, and in the heavy snowstorm, they could only fight on their own, and the Han army seemed to have no command, but their fast speed and more troops, in this chaotic battle, easily gained the upper hand, suppressing the Qin army everywhere.
The Qin army can't even break through. The 30,000 soldiers under Helan Xiong's command all went out, layer by layer, surrounded the 5,000 cavalry of the Qin army in the middle, interspersed, divided, and then ate small bites one by one.
Countless times of swinging the knife, the arm has been sore, the blood and sweat on the body are mixed together, condensed into ice, making it more and more difficult for people to move, the heart is burning, the exposed skin has no slightest sense, Hook Xin leaned on the war horse behind him, with the knife in his hand, panting heavily. The wind gradually stopped, the snow gradually dispersed, and the vision became clearer and clearer, but Hook Xin wished that the fog was thicker, because the clear vision allowed him to see clearly what kind of desperate situation he was facing.
Everywhere you look, you can hardly see the Qin army's war horses, all over the mountains, full of Han soldiers, they are like ghosts, quickly shuttling back and forth, the Qin soldiers who are deep in the snow can not advance, can not retreat, under the pressure of the superior enemy, there is no room for resistance.
I wanted to stand up with a knife, but I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stand up, I lowered my head, but I saw that I didn't know when a knife was cut on my thigh, and the blood condensed into ice, and the whole thigh had long been unconscious, and I struggled a few times, but it didn't work at all, Gou Xin smiled miserably, he was going to be finished, and the whole army was going to be finished. The grain route was cut off, the logistics were cut off, and in such weather, the army could not hold out for long.
They will once again repeat the defeat of Li Xin Wang Xiao a few years ago, but this time, they are even more miserable, Li Xin Wang Xiao almost succeeded a little bit back then.
In the distance, the last Qin flag was snatched away by a Han soldier, and as the Han soldier waved the battle flag he had snatched and laughed and ran above the snow, Gou Xin lifted the knife with difficulty and rested it on his neck.
"Second brother, I'll go first, big brother, I'm looking for you!" He screamed, and slashed his broadsword, and blood splattered out and fell to the ground, and a puff of light smoke rose up, and in the blink of an eye, it became blood ice.
Gou family, Gou Ren died on the battlefield in his early years, Gou Yi now knows whether he is alive or dead, and now another person has fallen on the battlefield.
Five thousand Qin army Qin cavalry, most of them were killed in battle, some were injured, only a few lucky ones became prisoners, and whether the injured can survive in such weather depends on their luck. After all, these are his comrades-in-arms, not long ago, they were alive and well together, and now they have all turned into cold corpses.
Gou Yi was quickly found, the corpses of the officers of the Qin army were placed together, Wang Changyong's subordinates were all Lu Chao's descendants, and it was inevitable that they would be brave and good at fighting, which was also the reason why they suffered so heavy casualties, and the captured soldiers were only hundreds, which was still very rare in such a big war. Even He Lanxiong has to admit that the other party is an army with quite tenacious willpower.
However, the time is right, the place is favorable, the people are the same, and the other party does not occupy it, and no matter how tenacious the willpower is, it is just a few more wisps of grievances.
Now, he is going to deal with Wang Changyong's army, and the bravery of Gouyi's army has made Helanxiong more vigilant, or, it is a better choice to block the opponent first, starve them for a while and then gather to annihilate them. (To be continued.) )
