Chapter 865: Yu Wenhua and his death
In the previous siege battles, Qin Wu, Sun Ce and other fierce generals also participated in the siege, but Wang Fang followed Han Baohu's instructions and made complete preparations long ago.
As soon as the allied generals climbed the tower of Guangcheng Pass, they would immediately be fired at by hundreds of archers, so it was naturally difficult to give full play to their military superiority.
This time, the two generals took advantage of the night tunnel to sneak into the pass, but there were no hundreds of archers to gather fire on them, and the surprise attack directly caught the defenders in the pass by surprise.
Because this raid was all planned by Bai Qi, Sun Jian handed over the command to Bai Qi very wisely, and Bai Qi had already led the coalition army outside the city to prepare for a fight.
As soon as he received the signal from the city, Bai Qi immediately launched a night battle and began to attack the city, in order to attract most of the attention of the defenders, thus also creating an opportunity for Qin Wu Sun Ce in the city to move more easily in the city.
The raiding troops led by Qin Wu and Sun Ce were all the elite of the elite, and under the leadership of the two high-armed generals, they were so easy to kill the city gate and open the city gate when there was no one in the pass.
The opening of the gates also heralded the end of the battle.
A large number of coalition troops continued to pour into the pass, and although the Liang army in the pass was still resisting stubbornly, it was simply unable to expel the coalition troops from the pass, and it was only a matter of time before they completely fell.
Seeing that the general situation was gone, the deputy general Wang Fang decisively ordered the grain depot and armory to be burned, and led the rout army to flee to Yique Pass to join Yang Su.
Wang's fire also gave the coalition forces no time to pursue, and they focused on extinguishing the fire.
Bai Qi was also rescued in a very timely manner, and the fire in the gate was extinguished as soon as it was ignited, so there was not much loss of materials in the city.
After the battle, after the count, it was learned that in this battle, a total of 4,000 enemies were killed and 10,000 were captured, and Wang Fang only led more than 5,000 people to escape back to Yique Pass.
The Southern Route Coalition Army lost 4,000 casualties in the night battle, plus 6,000 soldiers and horses killed and wounded in the previous siege, and the Guangcheng associated army suffered a total of 10,000 casualties.
Only paid 10,000 casualties, and captured Guangcheng Pass, which had 20,000 soldiers, and the price of such a fight was already quite small, and the biggest hero of this was naturally Bai Qi.
The major princes of the Southern Route Army have a very complicated mood about this, they are obviously the ones who contributed to this battle, but whether they seem to have the same ending, their troops and efforts have become secondary, and Bai Qi has only used his brain but has become a soul.
After capturing Guangcheng Pass, the Southern Route Coalition Army should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Yique Pass with lightning speed, but it was delayed due to the distribution of the capture.
Although some of the materials in Guangcheng Pass were burned, the amount left behind was still huge, which also made the major princes extremely greedy, and they quarreled over the distribution, so that even the continuation of the march was delayed.
Sun Jian naturally had a great headache about this, and the major princes respected him well, but after the first thing involving core interests, Sun Jian's prestige couldn't shake these princes at all.
In desperation, Sun Jian could only quickly ask the alliance leader Qin Hao, and half a month later, the alliance leader's edict was sent back, and he immediately marched to Yique Pass, and all the materials were sealed and left to be distributed together after the war.
After Qin Hao's order was delivered, the princes of the Southern Route Army were as disgusted as if they had eaten, but they did not dare to disobey Qin Hao's order, and the 100,000 allied troops marched towards Yique Pass again, but it had been delayed for more than half a month.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao thought that Yu's culture and reputation were not obvious, and his ability to defend the city should not be too strong, so he launched an all-out onslaught soon after arriving, but he didn't expect to run into a bloody encounter under Xuanyuan Pass.
The reason why Yu Wenhuaji's fame is not big is partly because of the brilliance that was covered up by his son, that is, Yu Wencheng.
Yu Wenhua in the original history and the person who was the emperor in the end, even if his own ability is not very strong, but there must be people with superior abilities around him, plus Xuanyuan Jian is in his hands, it is still possible to hold it.
Yuan Shao didn't expect Yu Wenhua to be so difficult, just when he was distressed about the casualties and was about to suspend the siege, the news of Bai Qi's breaking of Guangcheng Pass came.
After getting this news, the faces of the princes of the Southeast Route Army can be described as quite wonderful, especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, all kinds of complicated feelings are shown on their faces.
Now in the three-way army, the east road destroyed 50,000 iron cavalry in Xiliang in a battle, and the south road also easily broke through Guangcheng Pass.
Soon after, Yuan Shao ordered the siege of the city.
Liu Xiu also sighed in his heart when he saw this, and now he understood why Qin Hao wanted Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to lead the army alone, because for the Yuan brothers, face is more important than the lives of soldiers
Because Yuan Shu's general Lian Po was good at besieging cities, Yuan Shao ordered Lian Po to command the siege, in addition to letting Yan Liangwen Chou and other generals join the siege ranks, and even Yuan Shao himself personally beat the drums to boost the morale of the army.
The 100,000 troops on the southeast road worked together and attacked with all their might for more than a month, and then they broke through the Xuanyuan Pass with difficulty, and obtained the results of killing 10,000 enemies, capturing 5,000, and losing nearly 40,000 themselves.
Yu Wenhua refused Yuan Shao's persuasion several times, and he didn't dare to expect the other party to persuade him to surrender again, so he released or burned grain and grass before leaving the pass and fled, and his move completely angered Yuan Shao.
On the way to Yuwenhua and retreat to Yique Pass, Sun Jian solved the problem of the distribution and capture of the Southern Route Army, and led the army to block in front of Yique Pass.
At this time, Guangcheng Pass and Xuanyuan Pass had been broken by the coalition forces, and Yique Pass was besieged by the coalition forces.
Yu Wenhuahe, who could not advance or retreat, was obviously facing a desperate situation, and just as he was about to surrender to Sun Jian, Yuan Shaojun in the rear actually caught up overnight.
It's all firefighting, but Yuan Shao's reaction was a beat slower, and after the fire was extinguished, most of the materials in Xuanyuan Pass had been burned.
This also made Yuan Shao completely angry, so he sent elite cavalry to pursue overnight, and sent his fierce generals together.
Yu Wenhua's subordinates were already defeated, and under the low morale, they were not the opponents of Yuan's army, and the two sides were immediately defeated as soon as they fought, and Yu Wenhua was also targeted by Yan Liangwen.
Yu Wenhua and Ben wanted to surrender, but before they could speak, a javelin flew from nowhere, directly killing Yu Wenhua and the corpse on the spot.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were originally going to capture Yu Wenhua alive, but seeing that Yu Wenhua was dead, they could only cut off his head and ask for credit.
