Chapter 901: Cao Cao was defeated again and again
Promise. The herald answered.
Under Lu Xun's command, the whole army surrounded the past.
Xiahoudun was soon surrounded.
The soldiers who followed him fought for their lives at first, but gradually, they found that they couldn't beat them at all. Whether it is long-distance combat or close-range fighting, it is too far behind the army of Huaxia Kingdom.
In short, I have been being hanged.
Under such circumstances, the morale of Cao's generals was completely lost.
Seeing that they could not break out of the encirclement, many soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered.
The purpose of Lu Xun's coming to Chang'an was to capture the soldiers of the Cao army, but whenever anyone surrendered, he would not refuse to come, and all of them were controlled and sent to the rear.
The Great War did not last long.
The soldiers of the Cao army died, and those who descended, or scattered as birds and beasts.
Lu Xun took advantage of the situation to shrink the formation and captured all the Cao army.
Xiahoudun deserves to be Cao Cao's general, and would rather die than give in.
In the case of the surrender of a large number of soldiers, he still fought to the death.
Lu Xun saw this scene with his own eyes and sighed: "The veteran is respectable. It's a pity that he is Cao Cao's brother, and it is impossible for him to be loyal to my Huaxia Kingdom. ”
"General, is it to capture Xiahoudun alive? Or shoot him to death? ”
The head of the regiment on the side asked.
Lu Xun thought for a while and said, "Let's kill it." It's useless to keep it anyway. ”
"Yes."
A soldier standing next to Lu Xun, a sharpshooter from the field brigade, raised his rifle and shot towards the battlefield.
Syllable!
After the gunshot, Xiahoudun stood still in place.
Immediately afterward, he fell.
The only remaining group of Cao soldiers around looked sideways.
They were the final soldiers of Xiahoudun and were responsible for protecting Xiahoudun on the battlefield.
But in this war, they did not play a role.
The bullet flew hundreds of meters and took Xiahoudun's life in a bizarre way.
"General, general..." The soldiers loyal to Xiahoudun all pounced.
Xiahou was killed with one shot, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.
That group of soldiers was also surrounded by Lu Xun's army.
Lu Xun wanted to persuade them to surrender, but unexpectedly, they all committed suicide.
"They're all good soldiers..." Lu Xun also likes loyal and brave people, especially soldiers who can give up their lives for the sake of loyalty and bravery.
The suicide of these soldiers in front of his eyes really touched him.
"It's a pity, it's a pity..."
Lu Xun likes loyal and brave people, but it is better to be loyal and brave to him.
What is the use of being loyal to the enemy?
"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, we still have a big battle to fight." Lu Xun came back to his senses, got into a military vehicle, and drove in the direction of Wuzhangyuan.
He was followed by a guard company, a regiment directly under the division, all mobile forces, equipped with cars.
.........
Gojogahara.
The 15th Brigade of the 46th Division, stationed here, has long been ready for battle.
They built solid fortifications in Gojogahara.
In fact...
Engage Cao Cao's troops, they simply didn't have to do it. Because Cao Cao's soldiers are all armed with cold weapons, the attack distance is at most a hundred steps, and this is still a powerful soldier, and it can only be done by firing arrows. Soldiers with little strength, up to sixty paces.
And the army of Huaxia has a range of one thousand meters.
There's no comparison.
They may have been killed before they could even get to him.
"Brigade commander, Cao Cao's army is less than thirty miles away." There are soldiers coming to the command post.
Wang Tianping, the commander of the 46th Brigade, said: "It's a good time, if he doesn't come again, I will be ranked." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen..."
He glanced at the three regiment commanders and nine battalion commanders standing in front of him, and said, "Our mission in Wuzhangyuan is to prevent Cao's army from passing through and heading to Hanzhong. However, according to General Lu's plan, the enemy can be let go to Dasanguan, because there are still our troops there, waiting for the enemy. Even if they get there, they won't survive. ”
"However, I want to warn you, don't have a fluke mentality, and don't let go of any Cao Jun. You must know that we are a fully organized brigade with a strength of 3,400 troops, and although the number is small compared with Cao's army, the combat effectiveness is several times that of theirs. I firmly believe that with our strength, we can not only defend Wuzhang Plain, but also defeat the Cao army and capture the Cao army. ”
"In short, my determination is to let no enemy pass through and take them all prisoner!"
.......
After Wang Tianping finished speaking, the generals present were very excited.
Cao Cao had an army of more than 100,000 troops, and even if he lost some in Chang'an, there were 70,000 or 80,000. And they were three thousand. If you can rely on 3,000 people, you can defeat Cao's army of 780,000. This is definitely a major innovation in historical warfare, and in the future, Huaxia will also be a heroic brigade, and it can walk sideways in the army.
And the brigade commander Wang Tianping also became a famous general.
Everyone was excited.
"Brigadier Commander, we all listen to you..." Humane.
"Okay."
Wang Tianping said: "Since you all agree, then I will issue a combat order." When Cao's army arrived, the 139th Regiment was responsible for ambushing the Wuzhangyuan Pass. The 140th Regiment was the main attack, and the 141st Regiment, as well as the guard company and the company directly under it, served as a reserve. We're going to fight a beautiful battle and show it to Your Majesty. ”
"Yes..." Everyone answered.
The commander of the 139th regiment said: "Brigade commander, are we going to attack the enemy directly?" It is better to fight a war of attrition for half a day first, and then attack with all their strength when their morale is low. ”
Wang Tianping said: "There is no need for that. I firmly believe in our strength. As long as they attack with all their might, they will only be ready to be killed, and we must deter them and crush them from the heart at the beginning of the war. so that they do not have the courage to fight. This makes it easier to capture their troops. ”
"All right, the last general will obey." He gave up.
Everything is ready.
Wang Tianping climbed to the mountain next to Wuzhangyuan and set up a command post, through the telescope, you can see the Cao army soldiers, who are constantly walking here.
He was excited again: "It seems that Cao Jun doesn't know yet, we are setting up an ambush here." ”
"Hmph..."
"This time, I'll let them come and go!"
Time is ticking by...
Cao Cao's troops soon entered the ambush circle of the 139th Regiment.
Halfway through Cao Jun's team, the battle began!
Boom boom...
The artillery battalion was attacking, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment.
Tens of thousands of Cao troops were blocked in the valley outside Wuzhang Plain, unable to advance or retreat, and suffered heavy casualties.
Wang Tianping found Cao Cao's location through the telescope, and immediately shouted: "Cao Cao is there..." ”
"Someone, someone..."
From behind him came a herald: "Brigade commander." ”
"Quickly inform the 139th Regiment and storm in the direction of thirteen o'clock. All the artillery fire, all the bullets, I will use. Tell the 139th regiment that Cao Cao is in that position and will definitely kill him. Cao Cao is already here, and Cao's army will be in chaos. ”
"No."
The herald quickly passed the order.
.......
within the valley.
After Cao Cao was attacked, he hid under a tree with Sima Yi, unbeknownst to him, he had already been discovered by Wang Tianping.
"Zhongda, you're right, Xu Ding really used Chang'an as bait and wanted to eat all the elites of our department. I really regret not listening to you. ”
Cao Cao's intestines are now about to repent.
Why didn't you listen to Sima Yi in the first place?
If you train in Yizhou, let Cao Ren go to Jingzhou to slowly figure it out, although it is slower, but it is safe. Nor will they be besieged by the promised. One day, he will be able to form a new army of his own.
It's a pity ....
He understood too late.
Sima Yi said: "Lord, it's important to break through first." ”
Sima Yi didn't want to be a prisoner, let alone be buried with Cao Cao.
Even if you fight hard, you have to break through.
Only when you return to Yizhou can you be safe.
"Breakout.... Cao Cao straightened up and said, "Order, attack forward, you must break out of the encirclement." ”
"Wait..." Sima Yi said: "Lord, we can't go any further. There must be more ambushes ahead. ”
"Then there is no such thing?"
Sima Yi said: "Along the way, the ministers are observing, and the place where they pass is very empty, which is not suitable for ambushes at all. This valley is the most suitable place for ambushes outside the Wuzhang Plain. The minister guessed that a large number of ambush soldiers should be in Wuzhang Plain. Their purpose is to prevent us from returning to Hanzhong. If you go any further, you will definitely be surrounded by heavy troops. Only by walking from the rear can there be a glimmer of life. ”
"Okay, let's go to the rear." Cao Cao's thoughts are in turmoil now, and everything is under Sima Yi's orders.
Xiahou Yuan said, "Mr. Zhongda, you won't forget Lu Xun, right?" He's in the back. Compared with the enemy army in front of him, it seems that Lu Xun is a little more terrifying. ”
"Lu Xun is terrible, but... There is no danger in the rear, and we can divide our troops into several ways and break through on a large scale. The chances of success are greater. Even though Lu Xun's army is strong in combat, his troops are insufficient and he can't intercept us at all. Sima Yi said.
"This..."
"The two of you don't have to argue anymore, I have made up my mind and break through to the rear." Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi this time.
Speaking of which, Sima Yi took refuge in Cao Cao, and every strategy he offered was very useful.
There were almost no mistakes.
Every mistake was because he didn't listen to Sima Yi.
Since Sima Yi anticipated the enemy like a god and had excellent strategy, why couldn't he listen to it.
At this time, Cao Cao decided to completely trust Sima Yi to see if he could create another miracle. When the army was defeated in Weihe and fled to Xiliang, wasn't it also Sima Yi's plan that made him gradually stronger.
"My lord be careful..." At this moment, a Tiger Guard general next to him spread on Cao Cao's body.
Cao Cao was unsteady and fell.
When he reacted, he found that the soldier was dead. There are countless bloody holes in the back, all of which have been pierced by bullets.
"This..." Cao Cao was frightened.
He quickly stood up and ducked behind the tree.
Bang bang bang...
As soon as Cao Cao hid, another shuttle of bullets flew in front of him.
Burst! Burst!
Sima Yi was shot twice, but both in the arm and left shoulder, and he did not concentrate on the vital point. It was just the pain of concentration that made it unbearable for him.
"Zhongda, you... You okay? Cao Cao was taken aback.
Sima Yi is now his talisman, and with Sima Yi here, he will feel a lot more at ease. Once Sima Yi is killed, then he will also have no idea.
"Minister... It's okay.... Sima Yi's face was flushed with pain, and he covered the wound with his hand.
"Carry Zhongda on your back."
Cao Cao shouted to the back: "Withdraw the troops!" ”
Xiahou Yuan led his troops, personally escorted Cao Cao, and returned to Chang'an the same way.
The rest of the troops also followed closely.
"Call me!"
Wang Tianping, who was located on the mountain, saw that Cao Cao was about to run, and hurriedly ordered an attack.
However, Cao Cao's soldiers are too many. There are eighty or ninety thousand. Even if the troops in the front are blocked, the troops in the rear can be withdrawn. Because they haven't entered the valley at all. There is still a long way to go from Wang Tianping's ambush circle. When Cao Cao gave the order to withdraw his troops, they all turned around and ran in the direction of Chang'an.
"Not good!"
Wang Tianfang realized that he had made a big mistake.
He should let all the enemies in, make an encirclement, set up a defensive line, and then ambush them, so that the enemy will not be able to escape. But now, Cao Cao's line is too long, and he can't beat it at all.
"Hurry, hurry... The 140th and 141st regiments were ordered to participate in the battle and pursue the enemy. Don't let the enemy run away! Don't let Cao Cao go! ”
Wang Tianping shouted eagerly.
The herald went to give the order again.
Half an hour later.
Cao Cao's troops, more than 20,000 were captured.
The remaining more than 60,000 returned to Chang'an the same way.
Wang Tianping mobilized all his troops, leaving only one battalion to guard Wuzhangyuan, and the rest continued to pursue Cao Cao.
Since Wang Tianping did not have a car, he traveled at the same speed as Cao Cao.
It's really difficult to hunt down.
About forty miles were onward.
Cao Cao suddenly divided his troops into five roads and ran towards various intersections.
These five-way armies are both virtual and real, some with few soldiers and some with many soldiers. And every team is carrying the banner of Cao Cao.
This is to confuse Wang Tianping, so that Wang Tianping can't tell where Cao Cao is?
Really...
Wang Tianping, with a brigade of troops, pursued to the intersection, and he was directly stunned.
Where to chase the enemy army from five directions?
If he also divides his troops into five routes, then each army will have less than six hundred people, and it will be very dangerous if he encounters Cao Cao's main force. Because Cao Cao still has sixty or seventy thousand people. How can these hundreds of people carry it.
But if you don't chase it, you can't watch Cao Cao escape.
Wang Tianping struggled for a while.
He took out the map and looked at it.
In the end, he decided: "The whole army retreats to Wuzhangyuan!" ”
"Brigade commander, we're not chasing Cao Jun anymore?"
"How to chase? From here, there are five roads, which one do you know is the main force of Cao's army? If you are ambushed, won't you lose a big thing by a small one? Wang Tianping pointed to the map and hummed: "However, General Lu is in the north, no matter where Cao Cao flees, he can't escape." As long as we hold Wuzhang Plain, he will die! ”
Wang Tianping's thinking is correct, and it is also Lu Xun's initial plan.
No matter when, Wuzhangyuan can't be lost, Dasanguan can't be lost, and Chencang can't be lost. As long as these three places are occupied, Cao Cao is the turtle in the urn.
"The Admiral understands..."
Several regiment commanders went to give orders, and the whole army retreated to Wuzhangyuan.
Changan.
Jiao.
About one hundred and fifty miles to the south. Lu Xun took the guard battalion and the regiment directly under him and camped here to rest.
Cautious, after setting up camp, he habitually discharged scouts and reconnoitred in all directions. Expand the security range to five miles.
This is Lu Xun's subconscious behavior, and it is also a habit.
But...
The scouts returned and reported a situation to Lu Xun.
Five miles away, they saw a large number of Cao troops, and the formation was chaotic, as if they were fleeing.
