Chapter 345: Blood Battle Poisonous Wolf Cave (2)
Although Wang Yuan is familiar with military books and war strategies, this is the first time he has led so many troops to go out, and he can't see the shortcomings when he fights with the wind, and he is a little defeated, and the shortcomings are infinitely magnified.
In the end, the Western Army did not choose to break through, but under the leadership of Wang Yuan, it was very stupid to enter the poisonous wolf recess and enter the encirclement carefully arranged by Hebron.
There is almost no suspense in this battle, and the core is how many casualties there are. The poisonous wolf recess is not a traditional ambush location, there are no mountains here, there are no woods, in Wang Yuan's understanding, no one will set up an ambush, but this is a slope that stretches for several miles, and the middle is almost a very large, and slender basin, so that the 100,000 western army has a long line of more than ten miles, once this formation is attacked, it is quite troublesome, in this slender basin, it is difficult to take care of each other, and after being attacked, it can only win and be beaten passively.
Wang Yuan only considered whether the Han army would set up an ambush on the spot, but when he encountered Heberon, a military wizard who did not play cards according to common sense and was good at commanding cavalry, it was destined to be a bad move.
The poisonous wolf concave is not suitable for ambush, but the surrounding is high, the middle is low, the cavalry rushes up, the impact speed is very fast, even if the infantry has a position, they can't hold it, and there is no position at all if it is attacked by a sneak attack?
The drums of war were beating, and countless cavalry were dissatisfied on the slopes around the poisonous wolf's recess.
When they saw the cavalry, the Western Army knew that the nightmare was coming, and at this time it was obviously impossible to avoid it, so they could only face the battle head-on. When the battle was rushed, the western army was obviously not prepared, and in the face of the impact of the cavalry, the people who were suddenly charged turned over on their backs, and the formation was in chaos.
Barbarian against the Han cavalry all over the mountains, the first to be dumbfounded was the eunuch Kang Lu, who was so scared that he couldn't care so much, this bastard forgot that he was a prison soldier and chose to flee, and also suggested that Wang Yuan escape with him.
Although Wang Yuan is a civil official, after all, he has his own integrity, and he did not flee with Kang Lu, but in this chaotic situation, the Western Army seemed even more flustered under the command of this guy.
In the face of Wang Yuan's blind command, the Western Army looked chaotic.
The Han cavalry rushed very quickly, and soon divided and surrounded the western army, and began to annihilate them one by one.
In this battle, the Western Army almost became a turtle in an urn, but the Han army had no plan to annihilate it, and more surrendered.
Surrender, in the face of the strong impact of the Han cavalry, in this case, the Western Army is not as strong as it used to be. To make matters worse, at the critical moment, Wang Yuan finally couldn't bear it, and this guy still fled.
Without a commander, the Western Army became leaderless and chaotic, and finally began to show signs of collapse under the powerful impact of the Han Iron Cavalry.
At this time, the Han army suddenly stopped the attack, and only trapped the western army in the poisonous wolf recess, and all that remained below was to surrender.
After all, the Western Army was a well-trained army, and if it was forcibly killed, the losses of the Han army would be very large. However, the Han army laid out an iron bucket array, and the western army had no way out except surrender, because the terrain of the four states was relatively high, and the middle was relatively low. As long as the Han army held its position, the western army would definitely not be able to fly out unless it put on wings.
Surrender, the Han army had enough patience, and Hebron's nephew, the fifteen-year-old military wizard Boyan, actually asked the soldiers to shout, which probably means that Wu Anjun besieged the Zhao army for forty-six days in vain, and finally killed all the Zhao army. Now the Han army can also do it, as long as the Western army does not surrender, the Han army has enough patience to wait. And it is limited to ten days, and after ten days, the families of these Western troops will be bloodily purged.
Intimidation, knowing that it is intimidation, but the generals of the Western Army have no way to do it, after all, the soldiers below do not know this, and they are panicked, how can they fight against the Han army in this situation?
100% could not rush out, and holding on was destruction, and finally more than 90,000 Western troops surrendered, this battle shook the world, and the balance of victory in the war changed.
The 300,000 Western Army completely ceased to exist at the beginning of December of the second year of Shenlong, except for the more than 50,000 who died in battle, and more than 40,000 were dismissed because they were too old, and finally the 200,000 elite Western Army was merged into the Han Army, and the entire northwest was connected together.
Shenlong three years of the New Year, for the Han Dynasty Son of Heaven the best New Year's gift is Tubo, the Western Xia submitted the credentials to officially become the Han Dynasty, in the future all the Son of Heaven must accept the Han canonization, the prince, the royal family and nobles must come to the imperial capital to study for three years, all local officials must be appointed by the Han Dynasty, and the military generals must come to the imperial capital to study. There must be a Dragon Soul Society stationed in each team, and the Dragon Soul Society is above the army, even over Tubo, and the royal power of Western Xia is supreme.
The Chai family is in Chengdu Fu Road, Kuizhou Road has achieved initial results, coupled with the Han Iron Cavalry swept the west, the Great Song Dynasty has no signs of counterattack, in this case, Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, dispatched the town of Guogong Pan Xu Xuan Fu Chengdu Fu Road, Anguo Gong Shi Yi Xuan Fu Kuizhou Fu Road. At the same time, the two of them traveled with 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and in this case, the local officials of Chengdu Fu Road and Kuizhou Fu Road finally entered Beijing to declare their allegiance to the Han Dynasty and accept the canonization.
The entire Bashu region officially belonged to the Han Empire, and the 100,000 troops were only a deterrent to the deployment area so that the local Xiang army completely belonged to the imperial court.
Dali Kingdom, at this time has been chaotic for decades, and it is difficult to have real imperial power. The contradiction between Duan Zhilian, the king of Dali, and the minister of the state has become increasingly intensified, and it has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible.
The royal power of the Dali Kingdom rarely affects the entire Dali Kingdom, at least the Chuxiong region where the Bai Barbarian Department is located has always been the Gao family's sphere of influence, and it has never had influence. In addition to the Bai Barbarian Department controlled by the Gao family, there is also the Wu Barbarian Department in the Cangshan and Erhai regions, and the Duan Emperor can only influence a few cities near the imperial city, but he has always accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty and occupied the righteousness, and the three forces have always been full of contradictions, but it is difficult for the White Barbarian Department and the Wu Barbarian Department to destroy each other with a balanced force, so they have been at peace with each other.
The Gao family had the merit of supporting the civil strife in Dali, so they have always controlled the situation, and the influence of the Bai Barbarian Department is very large, and the influence of the Great Song Dynasty culture has always had a good relationship with the Song State. With the support of the Song State, the Xiangguo of the Gao family can bully the Duan family emperor and dominate the court. Civil and military officials, dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Below the Wuban Department are the six edicts, thirty-seven small tribes, strong soldiers and horses, in the local is a great strength, has always resisted the Central Plains Han culture, and the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty is very estranged, and there is a certain distance from the imperial court.
The Bai Barbarian Department led by the Gao family has been suppressing the Wu Barbarian Department with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, and this state has been in this state for decades, and the contradictions between the two tribes have become increasingly intensified.
The Wuban Department advocates the strong, and finally the most powerful Shi Lang Zhao among the six major edicts conquered the rest of the five edicts of Mengwang, Yuexi, Langqiong, Xuan, and Mengshe, and thirty-seven small tribes surrendered, and the Wubarian Department at this time had enough strength to compete with the White Barbarian Department.
The leader of the Zhao Kingdom is called the Great Ghost King, and the leader of the small tribe is called the Little Ghost King. They are not subordinate to each other, they are just subservient.
Shi Ermeng, the great ghost king of Shi Lang Zhaoguo, is an extremely ambitious person who wants to complete his revenge on the White Barbarian Department in his lifetime. He sent his youngest son Shi Qijun into Dali City as a palace guard, and gave his eldest daughter Shi Yajing to Duan Zhilian, the king of Dali, as a princess. At the same time, he secretly sent his second son Shi Qilan and his youngest daughter Shi Yalan to the imperial capital to visit the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Shi Yajing is a very smart woman and very ambitious, and soon she said that she moved Duan Zhilian, the king of Dali, and asked this puppet king to find a way to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and with the support of the Han Dynasty, the Wu Barbarian Department can fight against the White Barbarians.
No one wants to be a puppet king, Duan Zhilian knew that his father was living very hard under the pressure of the Gao family, and he didn't want to take this step himself, so he naturally accepted Shi Yajing's suggestion.
In fact, Duan Zhilian, the king of Dali, is still more inclined to the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, after all, the Dali kings of all dynasties have accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty. However, in fact, the Song Dynasty court was more willing to support the Gao family, and there was only canonization for the king of Dali, and there was no substantial help.
Duan Zhilian has long been dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty, and he doesn't know much about the Great Han, but as long as he can destroy the Bai Barbarian Department and the Gao family, this puppet king can't take care of it so much.
In Duan Zhilian's view, Dali belongs to the Duan family, even if the Han Dynasty exists as the suzerain, as long as he pays tribute and is a minister, he asked his sister Duan Xiaofeng and Shi Yajing to secretly rush to the imperial capital.
It's not that he has to let his sixteen-year-old sister go to the imperial capital with the princess, the key is that Duan Zhilian has no one around him, there are people from the Gao family inside and outside the court, he really can't figure out that person is 100% loyal to him, the people of the Gao family have penetrated into every corner, sometimes Duan Zhilian even doubts whether he will be overheard when he has sex, how can outsiders go to Dahan for assistance in this case without leaking secrets?
As for the male children of the Duan family, if they can't go out of Dali City, it will arouse the suspicion of the Gao family. Of course, there is another reason why Duan Xiaofeng went to the imperial capital, that is, Duan Zhilian has the intention of marrying the Han Dynasty, in this guy's opinion, as long as he marries the Han Dynasty, then the Han army will help him to carry the Gao family in the future, which he is still very confident in, after all, his sister is known as the first beauty in the history of Dali, and she can still confuse the Han Emperor.
Although Duan Xiaofeng Bingxue is smart, he is only sixteen years old after all, and he doesn't know anything about how to please men, which is why Duan Zhilian asked Shi Yajing to go with him/ It seems that the widowhood of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is already famous, and even the people of Dali know it.
In fact, it is not that the widow of the Han Dynasty is famous, the most important thing is that every man is this virtue, and he uses his own heart to figure out the other party's heart. Duan Zhilian likes beautiful women, and when he is bewitched by beautiful women, he believes that the emperor of the Han Dynasty will be fascinated by his sister just like himself.
The two groups of envoys from Dali Kingdom secretly rushed to the imperial capital, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Gao family still knows what is going on, but the IQ of the minister of state Gao Liangcheng is far more than Duan Zhilian and Shi Ermeng.
Gao Fei is a chaotic minister and thief, but in his bones he does not recognize Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, and thinks that this person is a chaotic minister and thief of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not end well in the future, and the final victory still belongs to the orthodox Great Song court. In this case, he firmly stood on the side of the Great Song Dynasty.
You can not take refuge in the Han, but you must not ignore the existence of the Han Iron Cavalry, which is a principle of high-volume becoming a person, that is, you will never overestimate yourself, let alone underestimate the enemy.
Now that Emperor Duan Zhilian of Dali and Shi Ermeng of the Wuman Department have gone to the imperial capital to seek support, how can Gao Liangcheng sit still and wait for death in this case. 、
There is a lot of controversy between Gao Shouchang's two sons, Gao Shouzhen, and Gao Shouchang. Gao Shouzhen is actually not Gao Liangcheng's son but his nephew, but he grew up in Gaofu since he was a child, coupled with his extreme wisdom, he was deeply liked by Gao Liangcheng, and he was trained as a successor.
On the other hand, Gao Liangcheng's biological son Gao Shouchang is a person with a violent temperament, more than bravery, and lack of resourcefulness, advocating force, and is a staunch supporter of destroying the king of the Duan family and establishing himself as the king.
Gao Shouchang himself didn't have too many thoughts, and was instigated by his uncle Sui Shengdong, who told Gao Shouchang that if the current situation continues, it must be Gao Shouzhen who will eventually take over the phase. But once the palace is seized, then Gao Shouchang, who is the son-in-law, will have a chance to succeed to the throne, because the situation next to the throne is unstable, even if Gao Liangcheng wants to pass on the throne to Gao Shouzhen, then the civil and military officials below will not agree, after all, these officials are deeply influenced by the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and the inheritance of the eldest son is logical.
Since there is a fight for the right to inherit, no matter what happens, as long as it is something that Gao Shouzhen proposes, Gao Shouchang will simply and rudely oppose it, purely for the sake of opposition, the two brothers are like two fighting cocks, and they will be pinched as soon as they meet. ‘
Sui Shengdong is an extremely wise person, known as the first wise man in Dali, he gave advice behind his back, so that Gao Shouchang, a fool, was not necessarily at a disadvantage when he quarreled with Gao Shouzhen, so Gao Liangcheng did not interfere in the dispute between the two brothers.
This battle is very important for Gao Shouchang, it can be said that it is a fateful battle, if he wins, he may become the king of Dali in the future, but if he fails, he will never have a chance in the future.
With Gao Shouchang's IQ, it can be said that he can't think of any strategy, but this doesn't mean that he is useless, this guy is the first master of Dali, the champion of the three armies, and there is still a set of leading troops to fight.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, jealousy makes Gao Shouchang lose his nature, and he always feels that his father is biased towards Gao Shouzhen, how can he not be jealous and not fight in this case?
