Chapter 893: Street Pavilion
The Northern Zhou Biao general had to admit that he and the other party's commander were not at the same level at all, and these soldiers under his command had no ability to match those enemies, and the opponent broke into the formation, which can almost be described as "like entering a no-man's land".
If it weren't for the fact that the mountain road was really narrow, and the arrival time of this army was not too early, so the preparation was not sufficient, I am afraid that these two thousand people would really have to account for it here. But even so, the general looked around, at this time, I am afraid that there are only about a thousand people left around, and the remaining 1,000 people have basically been explained in this short half an hour, some of them died of rocks, some died of panic and stumbled, and some even died in the hands of their own people.
In contrast, the corpses left by the enemy on the mountain road can really be said to be very few, and most of them were killed by arrows. This made the partial general, who had followed Yu Yi for most of his life, have to admit that he was a complete loser. However, at this time, the partial general also had to wonder who the enemy standing opposite him was. The other party didn't show the flag, could it be Li Xinchen who didn't want to reveal his identity?
If Li Xinchen is really here, then the general does not feel that he has lost very unjustly, and he must inform the general of this amazing news as soon as possible. If Li Xinchen is not stable, those local families are not the opponents of the general at all!
"Shrink the line of defense and set up along the mountain behind you." "As long as we hold this mountain, we can still cut off their path to stability." At the same time, send someone to tell the general about the battle here, and ask the general to decide! ”
"No!" Several heralds answered at the same time, and in order to ensure that they would not be intercepted and killed on the road, the more people who went to report the news, the better.
And the general subconsciously glanced back at the mountain behind him, which was not high, but it could be regarded as being able to cut off the road: "What kind of mountain is this?" ”
"General Hui, this place is called Nanshan locally."
"The mountain is in the north of the river valley, why the south mountain?" The general was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the mountain road three or four hundred zhang away from them, Hou Mi stood on a big rock, looking at the Northern Zhou army that began to shrink its defense, and sighed secretly in his heart. After all, the number of opponents is much more than their own, and once they don't succeed for the first time, it may not be so easy to win the opponent later.
With so many people, Yu Yi will definitely not let a general unknown person come to command, and it can be seen from the quick reaction of the other party to retreat to the hillside and gather troops that this is already a veteran of the battle formation.
"The mountain to the north is the South Mountain?" Hou Mi looked at the annotations on the map, and moved his hand along Nanshan to the north, and his pupils immediately contracted slightly.
The local family guide who led the way immediately nodded and said: "That's right, this mountain is in the north of the river valley, but it belongs to the street pavilion, and it is the mountain south of the street pavilion city, so it is called the South Mountain." ”
Hou Mi couldn't help laughing: "God really help me!" ”
The street pavilion is located in the north of Tianshui, guarding the road of Yongzhou and Liangzhou soldiers and horses to the south and Guanzhong soldiers and horses to the west, and the danger of the street pavilion lies in the south mountain of the city. The reason why Jieting is famous is probably because Ma Tan lost Jieting in the first battle, which caused the flank of Zhuge Liang's army to be completely exposed to the Wei cavalry, forcing Zhuge Liang to give up a large piece of Longyou land that he had already obtained and retreat to Hanzhong. This also led to the failure of the First Northern Expedition, which was closest to Zhuge Liang's strategic concept, and also achieved the most gains, and the subsequent several departures from Qishan and the later Jiang Weijiu Expedition to the Central Plains were just copies of the first Northern Expedition, and even the gains were not as good as the first time, and finally achieved Sima Yi's status.
It can be said that the Battle of Jieting is closely related to the changes of the entire Later Three Kingdoms and the two Jin Dynasty, if Ma Tan defeated the Wei army that came to attack, perhaps the history of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties will also be rewritten. Of course, these are all assumptions, after all, the heaviness of the wheel of history is obvious to all, and how easy is it to change the trajectory of everything?
The road of history is like a group of people along different roads from one starting point to another, often the starting point is the same, and after walking a long, long road or even without any interlacing of roads, people who have taken different roads may be surprised to find that they have reached the same end, or maybe the people who interpret this period of history are different, but the fate of these people is the same.
And having said that, maybe Ma Tan took a fancy to the fact that Nanshan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he did not defend the city located on the plain, but guarded Nanshan.
It's just that Ma Tan is just starting out, leading the troops for the first time, ignoring a crucial problem, that is, Nanshan is a barren mountain, but also a stone mountain, there is no water on the mountain at all, whether it is to the north to get water from the Jieting, or to the south to get water from the river valley, there is a constant distance, and these roads are not so easy to walk, as a result, the Wei army easily cut off the road, and Ma Tan defeated himself without a fight.
It can even be said that Ma Tan is a reenactment of Zhao Kuo at the beginning, young and frivolous people are always easy to lose in experience and meticulousness, and often the latter two are the easiest for those who have been on the battlefield to have, once they perceive the other party's lack of experience and meticulousness, then they will seize the opportunity to put the other party to death.
Young people are often scary because they have the youth and energy that veterans may find difficult to have; However, young people are also easy to deal with, because they lack some even basic experience and lessons, and they are not willing to listen to the teachings of the old guys around them. Therefore, often in the duel between the young and the old, it is the young people who suffer, after all, the army marches and fights, and the competition is not a person's bravery and courage.
Obviously, Li Xinchen is an outlier among young people, he has blood bravery, and he also has 1,500 years more experience than this era, at least there is no experienced veteran in this era who can compare with Li Xinchen. Therefore, Li Xinchen has an absolute advantage in every aspect, and because of this, he looks so powerful and invincible. In fact, it's just because Li Xinchen knows better where the other party's weaknesses are.
Once this will begin to retreat to Nanshan, then it means that he must choose the river valley to get water or go around the mountain to go to the street pavilion, at this time the street pavilion has been deserted, whether he can find the water source is one thing, and how much time it will take to travel is another thing. The Northern Zhou army, whose morale had been shattered, could really endure such a toss?
"General, the flag on the opposite side has been erected, Helan!" A scout hurried over.
Helan ······ Helan Division? Hou Mi frowned.
