Chapter 642: Aftercount
Oops! Oops! Oops! Oops! Oops!
At this moment, Monsan's guards are fighting incorruptibly, as if thousands of cows are rushing through his heart, making his heart extremely messy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He originally thought that the Wei army was diverting the tiger from the mountain, and first took advantage of the fact that the Wei general Xu Yin feinted to attack the two brothers of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai to lure him down the mountain, so that the Shang and Shui troops of the Wei State would have the opportunity to attack his Mengshan military camp.
Unexpectedly, the truth was just the opposite, the Shang Shui Army of Wei was just a false shot in the Mengshan military camp, the purpose was just to deceive him Dou Lian back to Mengshan, so that it would be convenient for the Shang Shui Army to unite with the other two Wei armies to besiege and kill the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu army of the Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai brothers.
Yes, it's not about turning the tiger away from the mountain, it's about striking the west!
Thinking of this, Dou Lian, who was extremely anxious, immediately shouted: "Zhang Ji, follow me to lead the troops down the mountain to help the South Gate Army!" ”
"Yes!" Deputy General Zhang Ji responded with a fist.
A moment later, Dou Lian and Zhang Ji ran down Mengshan again along the road they had just gone up the mountain.
However, what makes Dou Lian feel desperate is that the sound of fighting under the mountain has weakened a lot, does this mean that Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai are no longer saved?
No! It should be in time!
Dou Lian gritted his teeth and said secretly.
It's a pity that just when he tried to join the melee at the foot of the mountain, a garrison Wei army appeared on the way he had to pass.
I saw that this Wei army lit piles of bonfires on the road, stationed around the bonfires, blocking Dou Lian's progress.
The number of this Wei army is not large, according to Dou Lian's visual estimate, there are only about one or two thousand people, but when Dou Lian was about to forcibly cut through the blockade of this Wei army and go to rescue the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, he suddenly heard a noisy sound from Mengshan behind him.
It turned out that Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army who was responsible for the feint attack on Mengshan, did not go far, he saw Dou Lian leading his troops down the mountain again, and kept in mind Zhao Hongrun's advice, so he attacked Mengshan again and forced Dou Lian to return to the Mengshan military camp.
Although it is a feint, if Dou Lian does not return to the barracks, I believe that Zhai Huang will definitely turn a feint into a fierce attack, after all, he has three teams of 1,000 people under his command, and there are more than 100 green crows led by Duan Pei to assist, under the condition that Dou Lian has transferred most of the troops in the barracks, it may not be impossible to conquer this Mengshan Chu battalion.
And Zhai Huang's move undoubtedly put Dou Lian in a dilemma: if he returned to the camp, he would not be able to rescue Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu; But if you don't care about the safety of Monshan, maybe this military camp will fall into the hands of the Wei army.
"Ahh
Fighting incorruptibly is almost going crazy.
He couldn't figure it out, obviously he was designing the Wei army, preparing to besiege and kill the three Wei armies here, but how could it turn out to be the opposite?
"Hey!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Dou Lian had no choice but to return to the Monsan military camp.
After all, in comparison, the stronghold of the Mengshan military camp is far more important than the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu army of the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai.
The reason is very simple, because since the Shang Shui Army is nearby, it means that the Wei army has lost all the grain, grass, and baggage, in other words, the army only has the dry food carried by the soldiers, so as long as this battle drags on for a few days, Dou Lian may not have a chance to recover the disadvantage.
But if the Wei army conquers the Mengshan military camp, it will really be all over.
Because in the Mengshan military camp, there was a large amount of grain and grass prepared by Dou Lian earlier in order to prevent the Wei army from besieging the mountain camp, and the camp fences, military tents and other camping necessities were readily available, if these things fell into the hands of the Wei army, it would undoubtedly make the unfavorable battle situation even more unfavorable.
So, Dou Lian resolutely returned the same way.
But then again, in fact, at this time, even if Dou Lian took his soldiers and horses to help Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, he would not be able to recover the disadvantage of the defeat of the Chu army on all fronts.
Because under the three-sided attack of the three Wei armies, the Fencheng Army, the Yanling Army, and the Shangshui Army, the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu Army was difficult to take care of, and the back was attacked by the enemy, and the formation was killed by the Wei army several times.
When the Wei army shouted the slogan that those who surrendered would not be killed, it meant that the battle had ended with the victory of the Wei army.
This is the most typical feature of night battles: due to the limitation of vision, once a local rout will lead to the rout of the whole army, and it is almost impossible to recover the disadvantage.
Therefore, whenever the two armies engage in a night battle, they will either win or lose greatly, and there will rarely be a draw, and it is almost impossible to reverse the disadvantage.
Because of this, unless the enemy army is flanked on three sides like Zhao Hongrun's design, generally speaking, the generals who lead the troops refuse to fight at night, because night battles are the most difficult to control the situation.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
Facing the Chu army, which had no fighting spirit, the three Wei armies formed a formation, surrounded them, and began the finishing work.
Seeing this, the soldiers of Chu dropped their weapons one after another, and according to the shouts of the soldiers of Wei, they sat on the ground with their heads in their hands one by one, their faces full of panic.
Seeing this scene, Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai knew that the general trend had gone, and they had no time to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, so they immediately took the guards around them to forcibly break through the siege in an attempt to escape back to Xiangcheng.
It's a pity that the Wei army has been prepared for a long time, and the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai have forcibly broken through several times, but in the end they still failed to break through, so they can only fight with the guards around them, as well as the few Xiangcheng Chu troops nearby.
At this time, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, with the assistance of Cai Baohu, the general of the West Guard Battalion of the Yanling Army, led the army all the way to the southeast side of the battlefield.
This is the position in charge of the Yanling army, as the general of the Yanling army, Qu Cheng straddles the horse, directs the battle here, and besieges and kills the Chu army that still does not give up.
"General, Wu Ji of the Shang Shui Army is here."
As if noticing something, a guard behind Qu Cheng whispered.
……
Qu Cheng turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Wu Ji and a rugged-looking Wei general riding their horses together, and a few doubts flashed on his face.
The rugged-looking Wei general Qu Cheng knew that it was Cai Baohu, the general of the West Guard Battalion of the Fencheng Army, and he was the confidant of Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army.
And just when Qu Cheng wondered how these two could be together, Wu Ji and Cai Baohu had already driven their mounts to his side.
"General Qu (塍)!"
Wu Ji hugged his fists and said hello.
At the same time, Cai Baohu also said hello to Qu Cheng.
"General Wu (Ji), General Cai (Capture Tiger)." Qu Cheng also returned the salute with his fists, and then asked curiously: "The two of you are here, what is the important matter?" ”
Cai Baohu shrugged his shoulders and said that he had nothing important, but Wu Ji smiled and explained: "I came for Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai." ”
Qu Cheng glanced at Wu Ji suspiciously, and then suddenly asked in his heart, "What else does His Royal Highness (King Su) have to ask?" ”
"Exactly!" Wu Ji smiled, then pointed in the direction of Xiangcheng, and said to Qu Cheng: "Your Highness has an order to let go of the remnants of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, and let them go back to Xiangcheng...... The Yan Ling army can be killed in the back. ”
Hearing this, Qu Cheng frowned slightly, and then a few hints of surprise flashed in his eyes.
That His Royal Highness's heart is so big, it is not enough to swallow Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu Army in one go, and he still wants to take Xiangcheng by chance?
Qu Cheng is Qu Cheng after all, and after thinking about it, he guessed the intention of Zhao Hongrun's general order, and his heart was secretly speechless.
He thought for a while and said, "Since it is the general order of His Royal Highness (King Su), how can Qu not obey it?" However, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer Xiangcheng by virtue of this. ”
In terms of the scheming of the city government, ten Wu Ji are not as good as Qu Cheng, so after hearing this, Wu Ji explained with a smile: "General Qu rest assured, there are three elite thousand-man teams of our merchant and naval army that have attacked Longji Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to set fire to Longji Mountain. …… These three thousand-man teams have already sneaked to the east side of Xiangcheng, if the Yanling army can attract the attention of the defenders in Xiangcheng and make them deploy their troops at the west gate or the north gate, the three thousand-man teams under the command of the last general will have a chance to enter the city......"
Three teams of thousands? Could it be Xiang Li, Ran Teng, and Zhang Ming?
Qu Cheng blinked his eyes and thought to himself.
After all, they are in competition with each other, and Qu Cheng certainly knows that the three thousand-strong teams of Wei Xiangli, Ran Teng, and Zhang Ming in the Shangshui Army are the most elite, and the soldiers in their teams are all fierce soldiers who have been tested several times.
"Good!" Qu Cheng nodded, whispered a few words to a guard beside him, and then said to the latter: "Tell Deputy General Yan (Mo) to let him let go of the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, and take Xiangcheng by chance!" ”
"Yes!"
The guards clenched their fists and led away.
After a while, this general reached Yan Mo's ears, and while he was secretly surprised by the strategy of His Royal Highness King Su, he really ordered his subordinates to release water, so that Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai brothers finally broke through the siege, and fled to Xiangcheng with a few remnants of more than a thousand soldiers.
Seeing this, Yan Mo chased and killed all the way according to the plan.
Xiangcheng, in fact, this city is the first nail that really stops the Wei army, compared with this fortified city, the Mengshan Chu camp is nothing.
Of course, the premise is that the 20,000 Xiangcheng Chu troops led by Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai are still in the city.
And now, with the loss of the 40,000 Chu troops, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers left in Xiangcheng.
But then again, even if there are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers left in Xiangcheng City, under the condition that the Chu army is prepared, even if the Wei army storms the city, I am afraid that it will have to pay a heavy price to conquer this city.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun chose to take it skillfully.
At this moment, it was already an ugly time, and the two Chu generals of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, who were deliberately let go by the Wei army, fled to Xiangcheng in panic with more than a thousand remnants.
However, the Chu army who was shocked by the news of the Xiangcheng city wall did not dare to open the city gate at all, because behind Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, there were Wei troops who did not know how many people there were.
It didn't take long for the Xiangcheng guard to come to the North City Gate in person, and he was the brother of the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai.
I have to say that when Nanmen Chi saw the two clan brothers who fled back in embarrassment under the city, he was stunned.
"Brother, save me!"
"Brother, help me!"
Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai pleaded bitterly under the city.
Faced with the bitter pleading of the two clan brothers, the south gate on the city tower gritted his teeth.
Didn't he want to open the city gate to save his two brothers?
But the problem is, at this time, the city gate was opened to let Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai enter, wouldn't they even let Wei Jun in?
And at the same time, at the east gate of Xiangcheng.
When the Chu army in Xiangcheng was attracted by the Wei army outside the north gate, dozens of black shadows quickly climbed the east wall of Xiangcheng...... (To be continued.) )
