Chapter 839: The Battle of Guangling (2)
"Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. Kong Ming..." Huang Zhong went to Zhuge Liang's camp.
"What happened to Hansheng? Why is there gunfire outside? Zhuge Liang got dressed and came out to ask urgently.
"The enemy is attacking the camp. Sir, get out of here. Huang Zhongdao.
"Withdraw? Didn't I ask you to arrange an ambush? It should be able to resist for a while. Don't be in a hurry, send someone to inform the left and right battalions, come and listen to the tune... Zhuge Liang didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet.
Bang bang bang...
The gunshots were getting closer and closer, and Huang Zhong pulled Zhuge Liang to the east.
As he walked, he said: "The troops sent by the enemy are extremely elite. Our ambushes didn't work at all. They had already broken through the front battalion, and the Korean and Chinese troops came. ”
"How many?"
"According to the soldiers on the lookout, about a hundred."
"What!" Zhuge Liang thought he had heard it wrong: "There are only 100 people, what are you running?" Gather all the cavalry and destroy this group of enemies.... ”
Huang Zhong had just returned from the lookout, and he had seen the enemy's troops with his own eyes. Although the number of people is small, the firepower is fierce. No matter how many troops are sent, they can't get close at all.
The cavalry in the battalion was less than five hundred, which was not enough for a shuttle of bullets.
Huang Zhong didn't bother to pay attention to it, and simply said, "Sir, you just listen to me and withdraw first." He called a few soldiers and forcibly took Zhuge Liang away.
Half an hour later.
Zhuge Liang's army was defeated on all fronts.
Halle's 100 men successfully captured the camp.
There were almost no casualties.
Fortunately, the enemy did not pursue, otherwise the casualties would have been very large.
After arriving in Guangling, Zhuge Liang figured out what was going on.
The 100 elites sent by the enemy were very strong in combat and very fast, and the troops guarding the village did not react and were caught off guard.
Defeat was inevitable.
Zhuge Liang was not discouraged by this.
He set up camp and defended the front not to destroy the enemy army, but to delay for a few days. Because it was still raining in the sky, he needed this heavy rain to create conditions for ambushing the enemy.
It will take at least three more days before that big war can begin.
"Haven't the enemy moved yet?" Two days later, Zhuge Liang asked Huang Zhong.
"Not yet, but after they took the camp, they were stationed there. As if waiting for something. Huang Zhong pointed to the map and said, "The last general thinks that they are waiting for heavy weapons. Because the road from Hefei to here is very rough, it is not easy to transport heavy weapons. The previous time Mr. made them suffer a big loss, and this time they did not dare to attack rashly. ”
"Hmm."
Zhuge Liang said: "Tonight, secretly order all our troops to enter the ambush site. Leave me five thousand, and I will lure the enemy. Just introduce them to the Jedi. They must die! ”
"Sir, let's let the last general lead, you will preside over the overall situation in the back."
"Nope."
Zhuge Liang did not agree: "This battle is too important to allow for a little mistake." Now it's mainly about luring the enemy, and I can only rest assured if I take action in person. General Hansheng commanded the ambush, and I was responsible for luring the enemy. Together, we must win! ”
"Yes."
Huang Zhong had no choice but to respond.
..........
It rained heavily for several days.
The roads are getting muddy.
Some places have been washed away by the rain, and cars will definitely not be able to go. Walking is also difficult.
But dragging it out like this is not a solution.
All the reinforcements from the Western Shang Empire arrived.
A total of forty-five thousand.
The general who commanded this army was a commander in the Eastern Theater named Yu Yanli. His status in the Western Shang Empire was quite high. Above him there were only the commanders of the group armies of the Eastern Theater of Operations, as well as the group commanders of the Central Army. The rest of the commanders, he didn't pay attention. Moreover, the commander of the army group in the Eastern Theater of Operations was still his relative.
To some extent, he was able to command all the troops in Koto.
Yu Yanli gathered his troops and announced that he would march to Heyanggou.
There were 100,000 stones of grain and grass there.
But in order to prevent Zhuge Liang from sabotage, he mobilized two divisions of troops and went to Guangling. Prepare to temporarily contain Zhuge Liang. After the capture twice, the heavy army will be encircled and suppressed.
For Yu Yanli's order, no one dared to disobey it.
Tens of thousands of troops immediately went into action.
Except for the troops of two divisions that went to Guangling, the rest advanced in the direction of Heyanggou.
As soon as the enemy army came out, Zhuge Liang received the news.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Without his temptation, the enemy went to Heyanggou. It was a great joy for him.
However, in order not to be surrounded by the enemy, he left Guangling first and also rushed to Heyanggou.
Next.
After the evening.
The sky was getting darker.
Zhuge Liang pulled into the Heyanggou headquarters.
Huang Zhong had made all the preparations, and said with some excitement: "Sir, the enemy is still twenty miles away from here. ”
"Okay, it's finally over."
Zhuge Liang was even more excited than Huang Zhong.
He commanded this battle, and once he won it, it had a huge impact on him. All the troops in Yangzhou can also take a breath of relief.
The battlefield of the whole country will enter the upper hand stage.
"Don't worry, we're all steady... Tell the ambush force that no one is allowed to attack without my orders. Zhuge Liang said.
"Yes."
Time passes minute by minute...
It's evening.
The enemy arrived outside Heyanggou.
Tens of thousands of troops set up camp outside.
In fact, at this time, if Zhuge Liang attacks, the effect will also be very good. But in order to try to win it all, he still kept his composure.
No one slept that night.
The enemy did not sleep either, and sent men to secretly recontour the surrounding situation.
Make sure that Zhuge Liang did not set up an ambush around.
After dawn.
Tens of thousands of troops attacked Heyanggou in a big way.
The topography of Heyanggou is very special.
The two mountain ranges cross each other, forming a long ravine.
The enemy entered along the ravine, in a low position.
Zhuge Liang set up his headquarters on the mountain.
He saw through his binoculars that all the enemy's forces were dispatched. Slowly enter the ambush site.
"Hansheng, it's time to start attacking." Zhuge Liang said.
"Yes."
Huang Zhong went to herald.
It didn't take long.
The entire Heyang ditch began to tremble.
Whoa...
A huge flood rushed down from the north. Attack Yu Yanli's troops along the ravine.
The flood swept everything.
The flowers and trees in the ravine were all washed away, and even huge stones were rolled into the flood and moved along the ravine.
The force is getting bigger and bigger...
Yu Yan stood behind him and could feel the ground trembling.
"What's going on?" He told all his troops to stop, then found a high hillside and looked ahead with a telescope.
At first, no anomalies were noted.
But soon after, he saw a huge flood rushing from above.
"Not good!" Yu Yan immediately ordered all troops to withdraw from Heyanggou.
Thundered...
The flood has washed down, and tens of thousands of troops have been submerged in the blink of an eye.
If you want to withdraw your troops, it's too late.
Yu Yanli was afraid that he would also be swept into the flood, so he quickly fled in a military vehicle.
The roads are muddy and difficult to navigate, and it is easy for military vehicles to get stuck in them.
Fortunately, he was alert and temporarily climbed a barren mountain to escape the impact of the flood.
But his tens of thousands of troops were miserable.
All of them were swept away by the flood, and the dead and wounded were no longer able to fight.
After the flood...
Huang Zhong came out of Heyang Ditch with tens of thousands of troops, lined up in a military formation, and advanced in the direction where Yu Yanli was.
"Commander, the enemy force is strong, let's go quickly." The generals of the Western Shang Empire were panicked.
All army commanders and division commanders are urgently persuading.
"Withdraw!"
Yu Yanli learned that his troops had been scattered, and that only a hundred special forces and a guard regiment could be put into battle. In the face of tens of thousands of enemies, it is really difficult to resist.
Although he was unwilling, he still turned around and withdrew.
The battle ended with Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong winning the battle.
Yu Yanli's tens of thousands of troops were swept away by the flood more than a dozen miles away. Most died. Even those who did not die were seriously injured. Huang Zhong arrived with a large army and captured them all. All weapons were seized.
A whole dozen brigades were equipped, all rifles, machine guns, mortars.
Zhuge Liang was dazzled.
Huang Zhong couldn't close his mouth happily.
"This batch of equipment needs to be transported to Xuzhou immediately. This is the key to our later victory. General Huang, how about you escort it personally? Zhuge Liang said.
"Mr. Kong Ming, I am the chief general of the Chinese army, how can I leave my post and go to Xuzhou without permission? If I'm gone, what will happen to Yangzhou? Huang Zhong was a little reluctant to go.
The Central Plains Field Army is his troops, and it is impossible to hand them over to Zhuge Liang's command.
Of course, he didn't distrust Zhuge Liang.
It's just a matter of duty.
Zhuge Liang was so smart, he saw through Huang Zhong at once, and immediately smiled: "Old General Huang, this batch of equipment is really very important. He is not only related to the war situation in Yangzhou, but also related to the war situation in the whole country. At present, Jingzhou and we are in urgent need of new weapons and new armies to join, and this batch of equipment... ”
Zhuge Liang said a lot of big truths.
Huang Zhong was still unmoved.
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Okay, since the old general is unwilling to take on the heavy responsibility, I will personally escort it." ”
"I'd better go."
Let Zhuge Liang escort him, he is even more uneasy.
In the final analysis, Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's subordinate.
This batch of equipment is so important.
In case Zhuge Liang moves his crooked mind, the Central Plains will be in chaos.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong said: "I only took half of the troops, escorted the equipment to Xuzhou, and then transferred to Yanzhou. The long is half a year, or the least is two months, and it will be transferred back to Yangzhou. I hope that Mr. can hold the Yangzhou defense line and not let the enemy take a step. ”
"Don't worry."
The battle of Guangling was a fluke.
Zhuge Liang also did not have the confidence to fight another such victory.
But in order to defend Yangzhou, he is still willing to fight.
Night.
Huang Zhong escorted the equipment and went to Huaiyin overnight. From Huaiyin to Xiapi and Pengcheng. It's a long road, and there are many towns to pass through.
Even if it is a hasty march, it will take months to arrive.
After Zhuge Liang's victory in Guangling, he did not dare to stay, and returned to Hefei quickly.
Halfway through, he received the news.
Hefei has fallen...
Liu Bei fled to Shouchun with 20,000 or 30,000 remnants of the army.
The news was bad for him.
Once Hefei fell, half of Yangzhou was exposed to the enemy.
Except for Shouchun and Huainan, the enemy can easily attack.
Jiangdong's troops can also cross the river one after another and gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou.
Zhuge Liang didn't dare to delay too much and immediately rushed to Shouchun.
...........
News of the Battle of Yangzhou soon spread to Jiangdong.
More than 10,000 elites led by Xu Ding have just arrived in Jiangdong.
It is not far from Yuzhang County and Nanchang County.
"It's not for Mr. Kong Ming...." In the military tent, Xu Ding was holding the letter sent by Zhuge Liang, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
"Your Majesty, what did Mr. Kong Ming say?" Guo Jia asked.
"Guangling victory, you can also take a look." Xu Dingba wrote to Guo Jia: "This battle is really beautiful. With almost zero casualties, more than 40,000 elite enemy troops were defeated. What pleases me the most is the new armament that is enough to equip four divisions. That's the key to our success in the later stages. ”
"It's great news."
Guo Jia didn't expect it.
Zhuge Liang still has this ability.
With the Central Plains Field Army and Liu Bei's 10,000 troops, they were able to defeat four enemy divisions plus two brigades with zero casualties.
Such a record is better than the situation here in Xu Ding.
If the enemy army invaded Huaxia, there were only 200,000. According to this style of play, it may be possible to win slowly without forming new troops.
It's a pity that the enemy has mastered the wormhole teleportation array, and a large number of troops can be called in at any time.
A short-term victory could only enhance the strength of Huaxia, but it could not change the entire situation of the war.
Huaxia is still in a very dangerous stage.
Xu Dingdao: "Fengxiao, the victory in the battle of Guangling can finally make us breathe a sigh of relief." I don't want to go to Jiangdong for the time being, so I will set up a formation in Nanchang and fight a few battles with the enemy. It doesn't matter if you lose. We will return to Jingnan and Jingzhou. In short, delay time, wait for Wen He to form a new army, and then officially start a war with the enemy. ”
Guo Jiadao: "The minister is also trying to suggest that you should not go deeper into Jiangdong again. The enemy's mobile forces are very fast, and once surrounded, we will find ourselves in a very disadvantageous situation. ”
"Hmm."
Xu nodded fixedly.
At this time, his eyes were slightly condensed, and his brows were furrowed.
Guo Jia also noticed it and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" ”
"The enemy has already sent troops." Through satellite monitoring, Xu Ding saw that tens of thousands of troops had entered the monitoring range.
"Fengxiao, you go and give an order and prepare to defend the city." Xu Dingdao.
"No."
Guo Jia got up and left.
..........
Nanchang City is the county of Yuzhang and has a long history.
The city is well defended.
There are also urn cities, inner and outer cities.
Xu Ding decided to hold out for a while and then try to break the enemy.
Guo Jia went to prepare.
The enemy's forces are approaching at a rapid pace.
Xu Ding spent more than an hour counting the enemy's forces through the satellite monitoring system. There were about five divisions.
That's 50,000 people.
Among them was a brigade of cavalry.
There are artillery regiments, machine-gun regiments.
The strength is very strong.
This was probably the most elite unit of the 200,000 troops that invaded Jiangdong.
Xu Ding summoned Lu Su and said, "Zijing, I will give you full responsibility for the matter of guarding the city." You only need to hold on for three days to win. ”
Lu Su said: "It's not difficult to hold on for three days. But... What about three days later? ”
Lu Su hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that we should return to Jingnan." Although Nanchang City is strong, I am afraid that it cannot match the enemy's artillery. ”
"You don't have faith?"
"Minister..." Lu Su really has no confidence.
When he was in Jianye, Zhou Yu led more than 50,000 elites to defend the city.
Jianye is more solid than Nanchang, and it didn't even hold on for three hours.
At present, there are less than 20,000 troops stationed in Nanchang.
And the enemy was fifty thousand.
