Chapter 0311: Burning Yunting Mountain
The Great Taibao Guan Jingyun and the Second Taibao Guan Jinglin, these two guys didn't guard Yangzhou City at all, but just arranged the troops on Yunting Mountain to guard the way they had to go.
Tang Yuan was not polite, first took Yangzhou, and then prepared to stand firmly, and the next day, the troops set off en masse, carrying a large amount of pine oil.
"Burn!"
It burned for three days and three nights, but the fire was not completely extinguished, and the enemy army was gone.
But at this time, Tang Yuan was not optimistic, because he didn't find many enemy corpses, but only burned down the enemy's fortifications.
Then let Feng Feima go to investigate, lost a few scouts, and got the news: "The enemy retreated for five miles and continued to build fortifications, and these Shu Han soldiers were experts in building fortifications, and they arranged stone walls within three days." ”
"Grandma's." Tang Hu gritted his teeth angrily: "If you want me to see it, forget it, these guys can't be burned to death." ”
"Don't worry." Tang Yuan said: "This time, God didn't help, and the east wind didn't blow." ”
Tang Yuan sighed and said: "If only I could ask for the wind, a strong east wind can set the entire Yunting Mountain on fire, and then they will have nowhere to run if they want to." ”
"What then?" Tang Hu said: "Just sit here and wait for the east wind now?" ”
"I'm not in a rut." Tang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then wait for two more days." If you don't come to the east wind, you can only fight hard, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable, and there will be heavy casualties. ”
——
The three Taibao Guan Jinghong seized Xingzhou City and garrisoned troops.
In Xingchengguan, not far south of the garrison of Guanjingcheng, the two troops responded to each other and played the Dianhan around.
Dian Han rushed over alone, first hit Mingshui Town, he felt that it was very smooth, in fact, from that time, the enemy army was luring him to continue to go deeper, and as a result, when he arrived at Shunzheng, the main city of Xingzhou, he was ambushed by Guan Jinghong, the third Taibao, and lost two regiments of the vanguard, and all 2,000 people were annihilated.
After the arrival of the large army of Dianhan, they continued to advance and attacked the city of Xingzhou, resulting in nearly 1,000 casualties per day.
Five days later, there were only 3,000 people left around him, and morale was low, and at this time, the Guanjingcheng garrison of Xingchengguan attacked the camp at night.
Breaking into the village, I found that it was an empty village.
knew that he was fooled and wanted to run, but he was ambushed by Fan Zhenyu.
It turned out that the strategy of setting up an empty village was proposed by Fan Zhenyu. On the fifth day, Fan Zhenyu arrived, and when he saw that Dian Han was fighting like this, he was not good at saying anything as a level general, but he suggested that Dian Han empty the camp, and while the enemy army didn't know that I was coming, let's fight an ambush together.
Norihan agreed.
As a result, that night, Guan Jingcheng really robbed the camp.
The opportunity finally came, in the past few days, Dianhan has suffered too much, in order to be able to breathe a bad breath, the double halberd will be regarded as fighting, personally leading the troops to charge, with thick armor, this old man played with his life, rushed left and right to rush is not brave.
In one night, more than 2,000 enemy troops were killed, 1,000 and 1,000 prisoners were captured, and with 3,000 people, the results were even richer than Fan Zhenyu.
"General Fan is very good at being a man." Wang Fu, the deputy general of Dianhan, said: "He could have killed more than us, but he didn't send so many troops, and he sent us a lot of prisoners afterwards." ”
"Hmph." Dian Han squinted his eyes and said, "He is a general, is it possible that he still wants to steal my limelight?" Even if he wanted to rob it, Tang Shuai wouldn't look up at him. ”
After a victory, he persuaded some of the captives to surrender, but half of them refused to surrender and were beheaded by the pawn. The warden said: Our food is precious, and we do not give it to the captives, so it is better to cut them down than to starve them to death.
In this regard, Fan Zhenyu was silent, and he did not pass the news to Tang Xiao, but he didn't know.
When Tang Yuan burned Yunting Mountain, Dian Han commanded Fan Zhenyu to continue to attack Shunzheng, Fan Zhenyu said that behind the high wall of Shunzheng City, it is not easy to fight, it is better to wait for the deputy marshal Tang Xiao to arrive before making a decision, it is estimated that it will be two days at most.
Dian Han asked Fan Zhenyu, did he want to disobey his orders, or did he want to return to Shu Han with his troops? Don't forget, your family was cut down by Liu Xun.
Dian Han stimulated Fan Zhenyu with such words, but Fan Zhenyu didn't return the favor, but silently wrote it down in his heart.
The next day, he still didn't attack the city, but he was not idle, and sent scouts to ask Tang Xiao's opinion, but the scouts reported that the scouts of Dianhan had already arrived at Tang Xiao one step in advance, and I don't know what bad things I said about you, and the deputy marshal Tang Xiao was very dissatisfied with you. And I ask you that you must attack Shunzheng today.
Fan Zhenyu felt a burst of fire, it seems that the credit for setting up an empty camp to ambush has been snatched away by Dianhan, and now a hard bone is left for him to gnaw.
Let's just fight.
"Only hit the west gate, and the defensive formations are arranged on both sides of the team, and only the middle lane attack is fine." Fan Zhenyu arranged: "Now there are still 7,000 people in Shunzheng City, and they may rush out at any time, we must do a good job of defense first, and then consider the attack." ”
After fighting for a few days and one night, more than 1,000 people were lost, and Shunzheng City could not be taken at all.
Tang Xiao came with his soldiers, looked at Shunzheng, and said to Dianhan: "You and Zhang Pan will stop the troops between Xingcheng Pass and Shunzheng City to prevent the enemy of Xingcheng Pass from coming to help." Li Liang, you take 10,000 people to hit the north gate, echoing Fan Zhenyu. ”
Tang Xiao had a lot of generals, but in this Hanzhong War, he didn't bring all the generals.
Now his famous generals include Lin Chongyang, Dian Xing, Bai Ke, Zhang Pan, Li Liang, Ni Tianding, Dian Han, Dian Xiao, and Fan Zhenyu.
Wang Caotian, Zhen Badao, and Shi Jinchong are too old and are idle at home.
However, some new stars have emerged in the Shence Army in recent years, such as Gu Tong, Zhen Li, Lin Xiang, Shi Sheng, and Wang Dong, these five are still from Tang Qi's troops, and they are also the temporary fourth recruit division of the Shence Third Army that year, of which the last four are the descendants of the Tang family generals, Gu Tong is not the descendant of the family generals, but the cousin of the old lady of the Tang Second Master's family.
They were all left in Jiaohe City by Tang Yuan now, including Tang Xi and Tang Ling, the "real estate" of the Tang clan.
When it comes to combat strength, Lin Chongyang is not the strongest under Tang Xiao, but he has old qualifications, and at the same time has commanding power, is relatively calm-headed, has high loyalty, and is good at defense, so he is the best candidate for a border general.
At this time, Tang Xiao's first general was executed, and he was stationed in the key places of the Hexi Corridor with the pawn, and he could not leave.
The second general, Bai Ke, was rushing to Jingzhou with his team, meeting with Cao Sheng, and partnering with Xiao Han, the first general of the Liang Dynasty, to prepare to launch a counterattack against Shu Han.
"Li Liang, don't embarrass me, if you let Fan Zhenyu enter the city, I will look down on you." Tang Xiao excited.
"Alas! Boss, just look at it. If I can't take it down tonight, tomorrow morning, I'll climb the ladder myself! I don't believe I can't take it! Li Liang said heroically.
That night, Guan Jinghong, the third Taibao, couldn't hold on, rushed out from the south gate, and encountered Zhang Pan and Dian Han on the way, and almost escaped into Xingcheng Pass with his life.
