Chapter 888: The Decisive Battle of Guanghan
At night, the moon is cold and the wind is clear.
"Shame!"
On the hill where the wolf camp was temporarily encamped, Min Wu was a little furious, his eyes were hunting cold, the back of his hand was still bandaged, and his breath was trembling: "The time and place are favorable, and we have all occupied, but in the end, not only can we not succeed in the first battle, but also lose nearly three hundred erlang, which is the biggest shame since the establishment of our wolf camp!" ”
"The captain is angry!"
The generals bowed their heads and began to exhort.
In this ambush battle, the wolf battalion was ambushed first, and the troops were superior, I thought that even if I couldn't completely destroy the enemy, I could at least kill them and lose their armor, but I didn't expect to be killed halfway and turned back.
The ambush fell short.
Beamon escaped.
The various parts of the wolf battalion combined, also injured more than 300 soldiers.
So it made Min Wu angry.
"Lord Captain, we have underestimated the enemy in this battle!" The camp master stood up, bowed to Min Wu, and then whispered.
The master of Kunnan's wolf camp is also Min Wu's most trusted person.
He said bitterly: "The cavalry of Baimaqiang is a brave man, and he is the most fierce soldier among the tribes. ”
"We thought that the ambush was appropriate, so we did not allocate our forces to prepare for their counterattack, so it would lead to problems in this battle, and they would turn back, so we completely missed the opportunity to kill Biaomeng!"
Although Kunnan has analyzed the reason, at this moment, it is a bit of an afterthought.
"Is there still a chance?"
Min Wu was unwilling, he raised his head and looked at Kunnan, Beitang, Lin Wei, more than ten generals, and asked gloomily.
Everyone looked at each other.
Finally everyone shook their heads.
"Captain, since Baimaqiang's cavalry is alert, with our current strength, it is impossible to encircle and annihilate it for the second time, it is very difficult to encircle and annihilate the cavalry, or Baimaqiang's cavalry, it must be the right time and place and the cooperation of all aspects!"
Lin Wei said: "At present, we can't create the terrain of the second Dongming Mountain!" ”
"What a pity!" Min Wu gritted his teeth, even if he was very unwilling and unwilling, but after all, he was helpless, the fighter on the battlefield was always just a moment, if he caught it, he caught it, and if he missed it, he missed it.
"Captain, soon their main force is about to enter the range of Yuxian County, we have to be prepared!"
Kunnan reminded: "If the wolf camp is still in the suburbs, I am afraid that they will be surrounded and suppressed first!" ”
"Hmm!"
Min Wu calmed down and nodded: "Pass my military order, gather all the departments of the wolf, and prepare to return to Ruoxian!" ”
…………………………………………
"Lord Zhang, the news just came that it is not good to encircle and suppress the Baimaqiang vanguard cavalry, although it has killed more than a thousand cavalry, but it has not been able to lose all of them at the foot of Dongming Mountain!"
In the city, one of the banner envoys of Jingwu Si visited Zhang Song.
"What about the casualties of the wolf battalion?"
Zhang Song squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"At present, the casualties of the wolf battalion are not large, but they have a lot of calculations in this battle, but they can't succeed, which somewhat shakes the hearts of the army!"
"Go tell them, don't retreat from the county!"
Zhang Song said: "I'll try again, can I lure these cavalry in and kill them!" ”
He is not tall, his face itself is a little peculiar, and when he laughs, he looks even more treacherous and hideous: "Now Bai Maqiang should not have received the news, I think there is still a chance, you can completely relay my words to Captain Min Wu!" ”
"No!"
"In addition, I heard that Huang Quan Taishou has arrived in Guanghan, can you contact him!" Zhang Song asked.
"It should work!" The flag bearer replied.
"Contact him now!" Zhang Song said: "I need someone to suppress the people of Guanghan, otherwise the people will be angry and make the fake come true, then Guanghan will really be in chaos, and then the lord will definitely be punished, and no one can bear it!" ”
……………………………………
There was still a road of one hundred and fifty miles from Luo County, and the army was camping on a sandy plain by the river.
"High Priest, I'm a little uneasy!"
The more the tiger went deeper into Guanghan, the more restless he became.
"King, the matter has come to this, you can't shake the heart of the army!" The high priest's hand holding the scepter trembled, and standing under the moonlight, he whispered: "No matter what, the king is the king, and he must be determined to move forward, both in advance and in retreat!" ”
"Taught!"
Yue Hu nodded, his expression gradually faded a trace of hesitation, and became resolute.
He is not a successor.
He is a pioneer, Baima Qiang was originally only a weak part, a hundred years ago it was not as good as the wolf department, compared to the burning of the first zero these large tribes are far inferior, several generations of operation, in the hands of Yuehu, became the first tribe of the Qiang tribe.
Although there is a reason for Yue Hu and Dong Zhuo to join forces, Yue Hu can get to this position today and seize the identity of King Qiang, which is enough to show that he is also a majestic hero.
"Wang, I just received news from Biaomeng that they were ambushed by those guys from the Wolf Department outside of Luo County!"
A leader rode over and said.
"Ambush?"
Yue Hu's eyes flashed with a cold glow: "What about the casualties?" ”
"Heavy casualties!" The leader who inquired about the news said: "At least thousands of cavalry have been lost, and in order to escape from the battlefield, they retreated to the outskirts of Yuxian County, and the news has been cut off!" ”
"What about the Han envoys?"
"In the camp!"
"Tell them, let them summon the county immediately, and order the soldiers and horses of the county to meet the cavalry of our army, and not let the cavalry be delayed on the outskirts of the city for too long!" Yue Hu said in a low voice.
The connection between him and Yuxian is still separated by a layer of connection between the Chang'an court.
In fact, he was not very reassured.
But now, the vanguard cavalry is surrounded and suppressed, and he has no choice but to believe in the Chang'an Imperial Court once, hoping that the Guanghan soldiers and horses that the Chang'an Imperial Court said will be able to respond and save the warriors of the tribe.
"No!" One of the leaders took the command.
"Pass my order, all units march at night and enter Ruo County as soon as possible!"
Yue Hu's fists were clenched a little, the killing intent in his eyes was terrifying, and his cold voice spread throughout the entire camp: "Participate in the wolf department, hmph, I want to erase them from the history of our Qiang people!" ”
………………………………………………
At dawn, the city gate opened.
Zhang Song stood at the head of the city, looking at the crowd coming in and out of the city, squinting slightly.
"Master Zhang!"
A young man walked up to the city.
"Lord Sima, I'm sorry to invite you to come so early, I have accepted your request, I have opened the city gate, and I can receive your soldiers and horses at any time!" Zhang Song said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Zhang!" The young man said to one of his attendants, "Send a signal to let them enter the city!" ”
"Yes!"
The attendants took off their bows and arrows from their backs, and shot an arrow into the sky.
Laugh at!!!!
This is the whistle arrow, but also the whole era of the more effective signal, the whistle sound, like a horn long sound, can be transmitted far away.
Pedal Pedal !!!
On the outskirts of the city in the distance, a cavalry soon appeared, although many of them were injured and looked a little embarrassed, but they still retained a lot of strength, and the cavalry still had at least two or three thousand soldiers.
The speed was very fast, and all of them were skilled cavalry soldiers, galloping, and the wind swept into the clouds, rolling up bursts of yellow sand.
Just as they were getting closer and closer to the city wall, a queue of archers silently appeared on the city wall, and countless strong crossbows were also put up, like sleeping lions, opening their fangs......
"Master Zhang, what do you want to do?" The first to notice that something was wrong was the envoy from the Chang'an Imperial Court, who looked at Zhang Song with wide eyes.
"Master Sima, you'd better be quiet!"
Zhang Song looked at this messenger indifferently, his eyes moved, and more than ten soldiers next to him had already completely controlled these three or four people.
"Zhang Ziqiao, you are despicable......"
This envoy from the imperial court was very young, his surname was Sima, and he was from the Sima clan in Guannei, and he wanted to make a cry and frighten the Qiang cavalry approaching under the city, but before he could finish speaking, he was blocked.
"Gagged him, pulled him down, and locked him up!" Zhang Song said indifferently.
"No!"
More than a dozen soldiers tied them up, then gagged them and pulled them down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the time for you to make meritorious contributions, Lord Minghou has already ordered, if this battle is successful, regardless of the past, for the sake of his wife and children, for his father and fellow villagers, and for Guanghan to survive more people, please everyone!"
Zhang Song said to five or six generals.
They were all rebel leaders who had rebel uprisings in Guanghan before, and they were all set up by Zhang Song in the name of Zhang Ming, set up a Hongmen banquet, ambushed swords and axes, subdued them in one fell swoop, and then released them to take charge of the soldiers and horses.
For this is the moment.
"In the future, life and death will be with Master Zhang, we are not afraid of life and death, I only hope that our wives and children can have a home, even if we die, it doesn't matter!"
These people, either from long-term labor, or humble slaves, have come to this point, they are also forced to ask for a way to live, if Zhang Song can bring them a way to live, they are willing to work hard.
"Don't worry, I am willing to swear by the ancestors of the Zhang family, no matter what happens to you in the future, I will do my best to keep his family safe, if I can't do it, I should be guilty of it, and it is not a pity to die!"
Zhang Song swore an oath to win people's hearts.
"My lord, the two streets in the city are all cleared!"
"My lord, the cavalry has entered the city!"
The news came one after another, and the war broke out.
"Kill!"
Zhang Song ordered.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The archers on the city broke out in an instant, and the arrows rained down, covering the cavalry queue at once, and the strong crossbows were even more penetrating, along with the cavalry and war horses, and they were killed together.
"Trap?"
Biao Meng was exhausted, and his pupils turned pale.
He had already suffered heavy losses in yesterday's ambush, and he had lost all the food and grass, and the warriors under his command had many wounded soldiers, so he would venture into the city after receiving the news from the king.
This is his trust in the king, trust the king, will enter the city, otherwise with his vigilance against the Han people, even if he dies in battle, he will not take a step.
"Chief, what now?"
Under the defeat, Bai Maqiang's cavalry was also disorganized.
Their procession was between entering and leaving the city, but they were surrounded by layers of bows and arrows, and in less than half an hour, five or six hundred soldiers fell.
"Disperse and break through, one outward, one inward!"
Biao Meng shouted and said: "Warriors of the White Horse Qiang, now is the time for us to show our courage, those who block will not be killed, and life and death will be safe!" ”
"Chief, I will lead a part of the cavalry, rush inside, attract their attention, and you lead the main force to retreat!"
Biaokan rode out and led five hundred cavalry, rushed through the city walls, and rushed into the streets inside.
Biao Meng didn't have any love for children at this time, so he quickly turned his horse's head, took the rest of the cavalry, and rushed out in the rain of countless arrows, rushing all the way, falling all the way, and countless wailing voices sounded.
"Biaomeng, since you're here, let's stay!"
The wolf battalion didn't know when to line up outside the city, blocking Biaomeng's last retreat.
"You're Min Go?"
Beamon Pegasus charged: "Today I killed you!" ”
"Yue Hu comes, and you still have this qualification, you are not worthy!" Min Wu, whether it is riding or force, is above Biaomeng, Biaomeng, a fierce general with a white horse, in his hands, but he has not walked thirty rounds, and he has been cut off the horse.
"Don't be complacent, the king will avenge us, and one day, destroy your wolf department!"
Biao Meng vomited blood and died, and before he died, he also issued a resentful curse.
"Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will not be killed!"
Min Wu cut off Biaomeng's head and rushed forward to shock the Baimaqiang cavalry.
"The leader is dead!"
"Revenge!"
Bai Ma Qiang is worthy of being a brave soldier, even if Biaomeng died, they still charged forward, regardless of life and death, to avenge Biaomeng.
In the end, the archers of the wolf camp fired ten thousand arrows and shot them one by one............
In this battle, it took less than a morning to clean up the battlefield, the Baima Qiang vanguard cavalry, the whole army was annihilated, thousands of cavalry, thousands of war horses, and those who survived were only less than 300 Qiang warriors and less than 500 war horses.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Min Wu walked up to the city wall and saluted Zhang Song: "Yesterday's battle was my mistake, if it weren't for Master Zhang's tricks, I would hardly have a chance to make up for my regrets!" ”
"Captain Min Wu is polite, you and I both work for the Minghou Mansion, so we should support each other!"
Zhang Song said with a smile.
"Next, what is the wonderful plan for Director Zhang!" Min Wu still respects Zhang Song very much, after all, he is the head of Beiwutang's subordinates, and in terms of official rank, he is still in his own IQ, and Min Wu himself knows his own affairs, and he is good at fighting in the wolf camp but not good at strategizing.
"The result of this battle must not be hidden, Guanghan is now in chaos and strife, it is a place of leakage, not only our spies, but also the spies of the Chang'an court, in the war, they must have spread the news!"
Zhang Song said: "And we didn't think about luring the main force of Baimaqiang into Yuxian to besiege and kill, after all, the main force of Baimaqiang is too strong, luring the enemy into the city, it is not the best policy, fighting, it is us who suffers, after all, this is our territory, and the people are also our people, so we still have to kill in the wilderness!" ”
"How do you besiege and kill?"
"At this time, the main force of Baimaqiang should be close to Dongming Mountain, they have already entered the trap, as long as the main force of the Yellow Turban Army joins us, they can be encircled and suppressed!"
Zhang Song said: "But before that, I first have to do two things, first, to keep Luo County, and second, to prevent them from going south, Luo County is too close to Shu County, if they relax to go south, they can plunder the people, and then we will lose more than we lose!" ”
"Once Yuehu knows that he is caught in our encirclement, there is no hope of breaking through, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not go south, the deeper he goes, the more afraid we are, but let them break out of a bloody road, they want to go south, they must go to Xindu!"
Min Wu nodded and said, "I'll go and defend the new capital!" ”
……………………………………
Before the mountain stream of Dongming Mountain, the army temporarily stopped.
At this time, Yue Hu had already received a battle report from Ruo County, the vanguard cavalry was wiped out, and the general Biao Meng was killed in battle, this news made him tremble: "The Han people are cunning, they shouldn't believe it, Dong Zhuo, you mistook me!" ”
