Chapter Forty-Nine: Han Ling
Early in the morning of September 16, another war report arrived. When I opened it, it was very different from the usual one-page and concise battle reports, this time not only did I use several pages, but each page was densely packed with small words.
"Sure enough, the two of them are fighting to the death on the side of this Hanling Mountain. . . ." Pei Guo glanced at it and couldn't help but speak: "This battle report is also very detailed, I look at it, as if I am on the spot." β
Yu Jin also sighed: "Heitai, a few of your brothers have been planted in Hebei, tsk, the ability is really not small... β
Before the words fell, Yu Wentai hurriedly shouted: "I don't want to listen to this long-winded war situation!" Hurry up, tell me quickly, what is the final result? β
Pei Guo was stunned for a moment, and said dumbfoundedly: "Why are black otters so anxious? Reading the past page by page, the three of me can take this rare battle in detail, learn how to arrange troops, and know who is good at what strategy... β
"Shut up!" Yu Wentai's face turned black and red, so manic: "If you tell you, just say it quickly, what nonsense!" A hand came out, and he looked like he was about to step forward to grab the battle report.
Pei Guo was helpless, turned to the last page, and read the last few words out loud: "On the third day of the ninth month, when you are in the unitary period, Zhuerzhu was defeated, and each one fled. β
Yuwentai's eyes were piercing: "Sure enough, Zhuerzhu was defeated?" β
Pei Guo said angrily: "Well, you guessed it right, it's that Zhuerzhu was defeated." β
Before the words fell, Yuwentai screamed, turned around and ran, rubbing and rubbing, and went straight down to the Guan Building. Pei Guo and Yu Jin looked at each other, stunned on the spot.
Not long after, Yuwentai had already jumped on the war horse and was ready to go. Behind him, there were a hundred light horsemen, all of whom were his henchmen and guards, all with solemn expressions.
Pei Guo was inexplicable and shouted, "Black otter! Where are you going? β
"Chang'an!"
"Chang'an?" Pei Guo became more and more puzzled: "Although this battle report should be notified to Chang'an as soon as possible, there is no need to rush into such a situation?" Besides, call an order to hurry up, black otter you... β
"I don't have time to talk to you about it!" Yu Wentai slammed the war horse under his crotch, and the arrows were generally flying out. An echo came: "This matter is very important, I will do it myself!" You and Brother Sijing... But guarding Tongguan is! β
The smoke and dust are billowing out, and Yuwentai and the hundred horses are gone. Pei Guo and Yu Jin, you look at me, I look at you, and they each smiled bitterly.
After a while, Pei Guo came back to his senses and raised the battle report in his hand. Over there, Yu Yu was cautious, and laughed: "Go!" Let's look at the battle of Hanling, how wonderful it is! β
The two of them were originally born in the army, and they are still leading the troops, so when the world is in a big war, aren't they eager to get a glimpse? At a glance, the battle situation is really colorful, that is, the two of them have already experienced a hundred battles, and they are also fascinated.
Let's say that on the second day of September, Gao Huan went out of the city to Hanling Mountain and invited Zhuerzhu to fight. Zhuerzhu didn't want to attack Jiancheng, just because he couldn't ask for it, so all the soldiers and horses arrived, and there were more than 100,000 troops, all stationed in the south of Hanling Mountain.
The next day, on the third day of the ninth lunar month, when the morning light rose, the two sides were already lined up, and a decisive battle was about to break out.
Gao Huan ordered the three armies to line up with their backs to Hanling Mountain, although the mountain was not big, it was enough to hold it, and Zhuerzhu could not encircle it before and after, so he had to face it head-on. In fact, there is a trail leading to Yecheng in the mountains, and when it is critical, it is a good strategy to retreat north from the trail or let Yecheng come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, Gao Huan gave an order, and connected the cattle and donkeys with long ropes, blocking several small roads for life, and even shouted in battle: "This place is dead!" If you win, you will prosper, and if you lose, you will die! "The three armies are mighty and their morale is like a rainbow.
Gao Huan led the Chinese army by himself, and Mo Duo Lou Yuanwen, Xue Guyan, He Lou Wulan, Po Liu, Han Chang and the four brothers of the Gao family were all in the battle; With Dou Tai as the left governor and Hu Lujin as the left deputy governor, they led the left army; Hou Jing served as the right governor, and Peng Le served as the right deputy governor, and jointly governed the right army.
Zhu Erzhu fought-for-tat, Erzhu Zhaogong and Erzhu Dulu were the two divisions of the central army, Erzhu Tianguang's department served as the left army, and Erzhu Zhongyuan led the right army, and each army was almost three or four times larger than the high army.
At three o'clock, the war finally began.
First, Erzhu Tianguang's left army was tempted and drove back for Hou Jing for a while.
Er Zhu Zhao was impatient, and personally led the Chinese army straight forward, and the troops were fierce, and Mo Duo Lou and He Lou Wulan could not resist it one after another, and retreated one after another.
Erzhu Dulu took advantage of the situation to kill, and the Gao army became more and more difficult, and even Gao Huan's handsome banner was forced to move back, and there was a big uproar in the army.
At a critical juncture, Xue Guyan led the thick shield wrestlers to arrive in time, and he did not retreat, and stopped the surging offensive of the Erzhu army on the spot. The giant spirit god even wielded an iron pestle, smashing a group of Qihu knights** to crash away, blood splashing everywhere, Erzhu Dulu looked at it really, and felt cold all over his body.
Gao Huan's army had to move back calmly, but at this time, it was already at the foot of Hanling Mountain, and there was no way to retreat. Gao Huan ordered, and the whole army formed a circle formation and did not retreat.
Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Dulu pounced frantically, first dividing Xue Guyan's army into several places and strangling them one by one. Xue Guyan fought until he was covered in bruises, bleeding like a surge, rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot, but fortunately saved Gao Huan's main battle for his personal guards. Erzhu's army continued to rush forward, but the high army's round formation was full of tenacity, and Erzhu's army failed to attack several times, and its strength was slightly reduced, and its morale also fell.
The horn sounded, Erzhu Tianguang's left army was advancing again, this time the main force was exhausted, the momentum was surging, Hou Jing tried his best to block left and right, and he couldn't resist the enemy, and retreated again and again.
Both the Chinese army and the left army saw the victory, and Er Zhu Zhong saw this, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded the right army to press on the whole line. Dou Tai had a violent temperament, and he couldn't bear it for a long time, so he slapped the horse and ushered in, and the left army behind him made a loud noise, and followed. The two collided in one place, and the sky fell apart.
It's been a stalemate. Dou Tai roared wildly, like a mad tiger, the iron lance stabbed left and right, and no one could stop him in front of him; Hu Lujin rode like a dragon, and he could always arrive in time at a critical moment, and a gust of wind destroyed the offensive of Erzhu's army; The young general Hu Lvguang was like a god, and shot down several generals of the Erzhu army who were freshly dressed and angry horses one after another, so frightened that Erzhu Zhongyuan hurriedly threw off the golden helmet on his head, and replaced it with a black and inconspicuous iron hood and put it on.
You come and go, although Erzhu's right army has the advantage in numbers, it has never had the upper hand, Erzhu Zhongyuan is impatient, and he can't help but be a little frustrated.
Even so, in the battle of the three armies, Erzhu's side had already gained an advantage on both sides. In terms of the overall situation, Gao Jun has been overwhelmed, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will be a way to defeat.
In the end, Erzhu was tyrannical, and God abandoned him--- when the battle reached the most important point, suddenly a person was born out of thin air and turned the sky away! It's not someone else, it's the high-spirited Gao Cao who is known as "Xiang Yu's reincarnation"!
Let's say that Erzhu Zhaoer Zhu Dulu is attacking endlessly, and although Gao Huan's Chinese army is solid, it is also exhausted. Gao Gao saw it in his eyes, and in a hurry, he ran to Gao Huan and shouted: "King! I am willing to use the eight hundred horsemen of the headquarters to go out to the battlefield to the death, and to break Erzhu! β
How could Gao Huan not know Gao Aocao's peerless bravery? He had left Gao Gao in the formation for a long time, and he had the idea of taking him by surprise and striking a thunderous blow. At this time, although it is difficult for oneself, most of the thieves have also reached the time of exhaustion, if they use high as the front and suddenly attack violently, ten out of ten can have a miraculous effect.
It's just a high department, but it's just 800 horsemen, and all of them are Han'er. When the Northern Dynasty was in the atmosphere, Xianbei and high cars were soldiers, and there were very few Han people from Rong, and the Great Wei Dynasty had been the case for more than 100 years. Therefore, everyone in the world thinks that Han'er is weak and unworthy of battle.
Because of this, Gao Huan couldn't help but be worried, so he said: "Although Ao Cao is brave, his subordinates are all Han'er, and I am afraid it will not help." How about I divide your thousands of horsemen and soldiers together? "There are few cavalry in the Gao army, and they are scattered among the three armies, and at this moment, Gao Huan can make up a thousand horses, which is said to be doing his best.
Unexpectedly, Gao Gao sneered, and said proudly: "Gao Gao has been practicing these parts for a long time, and he has fought many times, when will he be weaker than Xianbei?" If it is mixed now, the feelings are not compatible, the victory will be for merit, and the defeat will be blamed, but it will not be harmonious. I am willing to lead the Han army, and I don't need to be more worthy! β
Gao Aocao and Gao Huan are from the same Bohai Gao family, but Gao Huanxi considers himself to be humble, while Gao Aocao is the opposite, he is extremely proud of his Han'er identity, and often says to others: "From ancient times to the present, the Chinese are the most expensive, no matter the three emperors and five emperors, that is, the son of heaven today, don't you want to change Tuoba to Yuan?" β
In Gao Huan's army, the Xianbei generals often bullied Han'er, which was actually the most common thing at that time, Gao Aocao would be furious every time he saw it, and he would be beaten violently when he stepped forward, and even killed people with knives. Therefore, the Xianbei and Gaoche in the army are all afraid and hated by Gao Aocao. It's just that Gao Aocao is really fierce, and no one dares to be an enemy with him, even if Gao Huan himself usually speaks in Xianbei language, but when Gao Aocao is present, he always changes to speak Chinese.
Gao Aocao said everything about this, Gao Huan was worried, and he had no choice but to nod his head.
So the circle suddenly opened, broke out a corner, the drum sounded like thunder, and Gao Ao Caotong's eight hundred Han'er were as fast as lightning, and the thunderbolt galloped out.
Gao Aocao took the lead, the iron lance waved, it was overwhelming, and no one could resist it in front of him, and no one could resist it, and he opened a gap in the blink of an eye. The leaders on the left and right sides are Gao Aocao's old brothers for many years, Han'er Wang Taotang and Dongfang Lao, who are also brave and unduly brave, and in the roar, they go hand in hand with Gao Aocao and do not fall behind; At the end of the team, it is Gao Aocao's fourth brother Gao Jishi, who is awe-inspiring and tiger-like. Eight hundred Han rode iron hooves everywhere, and the thieves were caught off guard, and all of them turned over on their backs.
The Erzhu army had already fought to the point that their hands and feet were numb, and at this time, the eight hundred cavalry were violently assaulted, and the arrows of Gao Ao Cao were incomparable, and the thieves could not resist it at all, and they broke up one after another. Gao Aocao took 800 Han horses to ride non-stop, all the way through, and finally cut off the entire Erzhu army, so that the whole army of the thieves was in chaos.
How could Gao Huan waste such an opportunity? The handsome flag waved, and the circle suddenly turned into a crane wing array, opened both sides, and sandwiched it like iron pincers. Erzhu's Chinese army was defeated and retreated one after another, and the defeat was presented.
When Erzhu Tianguang heard the news, he was in a hurry and ordered the left army to rush forward as much as possible, hoping to defeat the right side of the Gao army with one drum, and then rush to the middle to save the overall situation. At this time, Hou Jing and Peng Le also knew that it was critical, so Hou Jing was in front and supported to the death; Peng Le followed behind, wielding his sword and slashing six or seven fugitives in succession, thus stabilizing the morale of the army, and even collecting a group of retreating stragglers, so that they could regain their strength. The right side of the Gao army regained their hearts and fought bravely to be the first, but they beat the left army of Deerzhu and retreated. Erzhu Tianguang was helpless, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
As for the right army Er Zhu Zhongyuan here, he has never taken advantage of it from beginning to end, and it goes without saying that at this time, the weaker his courage becomes.
In the battle of Hanling Mountain, the two sides fought fiercely until the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
About the time was approaching, Erzhu's army finally couldn't support it, and with a bang, the whole line collapsed. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Erjudulu turned around and ran away from the south. Er Zhu Zhao scolded, but he didn't have the skill to return to the sky, so he rode his horse west and threw himself in the direction of Shanxi.
Gao Aocao led the Han cavalry to chase after Er Zhu Zhao's banner, Er Zhu Zhao's soul was scattered, and he saw that there was no way to escape, so he lost Murong Shaozong to lead the troops to arrive, and after his death was broken, he was able to escape from the battlefield. Gao Aocao chased and killed until dark, and the younger brother Gao Jishi was even more brave, only took seven subordinates, chased him out of the middle of the night, and came back covered in blood, and each horse had a string of deed thief heads hanging around his neck.
At the time of the unitary period, Erzhu's Chinese army was defeated, and the fighting spirit of the two wings was completely lost, and they collapsed one after another.
Erzhu Tianguang was on the left side, and he also wanted to flee to Shanxi, but when he saw Gao Aocao chasing closely, he had no choice but to change direction and flee to the south. Soon I bumped into Erzhu Dulu on the road, and the two of them discussed it and decided to go to Ji County first, so that there was still an army of Hu Sichun there, and I could always take a breath.
Needless to say, the far part of the right Lu Erzhu Zhong fled wherever he came from. All the way to the bank of the Yellow River, Erzhu Zhongyuan could not live or die for his subordinates, and fled by taking care of himself, and the remnants were mostly blocked on the north bank of the river, either dead or surrendered.
In the battle of Hanling Mountain, the main force of the Erzhu clan was defeated, and the general trend was gone.
γγγγγγ
On September 20, a rider flew from Tongguanxi.
Immediately, when the knight saw Pei Guo and Yu Jin, he threw himself on the ground and shouted: "General Pei, Yu Changshi, it's not good, it's not good!" Yuwen envoy kingγγγ The envoy told him to wait until he was imprisoned! β
"What?" Pei Guo's color changed: "Who did it, Erzhu Xianshou?" He stomped his feet and shouted urgently: "Brother Sijing! The Kanto region is in turmoil, Tongguan cannot afford to be lost, and Brother Lao Sijing guards Tongguan. I'm going to Chang'an, there is Adou Ni, I want to see who dares to harm the black otter! β
