Chapter 1185: It's Hard to Support
The Han cavalry rushed towards this Shu army, and the crossbow that the Shu army had just put down was picked up again and fired arrows at the Han cavalry.
The cavalry in front was a range hedgehog with men and horses, and the cavalry behind was still charging forward at full speed, and dozens of horsemen crashed into the Shu army camp, rushing the phalanx of thousands of people into chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a Han cavalry captain came to Wu Han's approach, turned over and dismounted, helped Wu Han to the horse, and said urgently: "Da Sima, go quickly!" ”
Although Wu Han said that he was hit by two arrows in a row, he was still sober, and he said to the captain: "Brother, get on the horse, let's go together!" ”
The lieutenant looked at Wu Han, and then at his own cavalrymen like moths to the flames, he grinned at Wu Han and said loudly: "Da Sima, I am Zhang Han, the captain of the cavalry, from Pan County, Shanggu, Youzhou!" ”
After speaking, he pulled out the ring head knife under his ribs, roared violently, and rushed towards the crowd of Shu troops on the opposite side.
Seeing this, Wu Han turned his horse's head and wanted to follow the captain named Zhang Han to rush to kill the enemy, at this time, another team of more than a dozen Han troops ran over, and when Wu Han approached, one of them grabbed the reins of Wu Han's war horse first, and said urgently: "Da Sima retreat!" ”
These Han troops are all subordinate to Yunxi Pavilion, and they are the elite of Hua Feiyan drawn from Yunxi Pavilion, and they are responsible for protecting Wu Han.
Wu Han looked around at the people around him and said angrily: "I can fight again!" ”
The man who was pulling Wu Han's reins shouted: "Da Sima is the commander of the whole army, he can't fight with the enemy with his life, retreat quickly!" ”
In just such a while, the more than 100 cavalry cavalry who rushed into the enemy camp had been killed, and the Shu army rearranged its formation and quickly swarmed over.
Seeing this, the man shouted to his subordinates: "Protect Da Sima and withdraw to the camp!" ”
Everyone almost caught Wu Han, dragged him hard, and broke out.
The Han cavalry led by Wu Han failed to defeat Yuan Ji's army, and the Han soldiers who finally broke through from Yuan Ji's army, even if Wu Han and the Yunxi Pavilion personnel who were responsible for protecting him were not even a hundred.
However, the near-suicidal charge of Wu Han's troops did greatly slow down the advance of Yuan Ji's army, which bought valuable time for the Han army to retreat.
The first battle of Chengdu between the Han army and the Shu army ended with the defeat of the Han army.
In this battle, 20,000 Han troops against 60,000 Xie Feng's army, the Han army not only did not fall behind, but killed Xie Feng's army to the point of defeat and retreat, seeing that the victory of the Han army was in sight, but at this time, Yuan Ji's army rushed to the battlefield in time.
The arrival of Yuan Ji's army overturned the advantages established by the Han army on the battlefield, and finally the Han army had to be forced to withdraw to its own camp.
After the First World War, the Han army lost nearly 10,000 people.
You must know that when the Han army defeated Gongsun Hui and Shi Xingbu, it did not kill or wound so many people, and this battle can be described as a fiasco.
If it weren't for Wu Han leading the cavalry, risking death to disrupt the advance of Yuan Ji's army, it was really combined by Xie Feng's army and Yuan Ji's army, and the two Shu armies jointly attacked the Han army, and the Han army was in danger of being wiped out.
After this battle, Wu Han was old wounds that had not healed, and new wounds were filled.
After returning to the Chinese military tent, Wu Han immediately ordered that the whole army should strictly guard the camp, and no one should go out to fight the enemy again.
While the medical officers were bandaging Wu Han's wounds, Hua Feiyan walked in from outside.
Seeing her coming, Wu Han's face turned red, and he subconsciously grabbed the robe next to him and covered his shirtless body.
Seeing this, Hua Feiyan was almost angry, and asked the medical officer on the side, "How is Wu Gong's injury?" ”
The medical officer hurriedly bowed down and said, "Fortunately, the arrow is not poisonous, and Da Sima's injury is not life-threatening!" ”
When Hua Feiyan heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Han is the backbone of his own soldiers and horses, if Wu Han really has a mistake, not to mention whether his own soldiers can capture Chengdu, whether they can withdraw from Shu safely, it will be a problem.
She walked to the bed, looked down at Wu Han, and asked helplessly, "Does Da Sima still think that his arrangement is right?" ”
Wu Han's old face turned even redder, and he held back for a long time, and then he spit out a sentence: "It's still Your Majesty's plan, safe!" ”
Actions speak louder than words.
He thought that after killing Gongsun Hui and Shi Xing, and defeating the 100,000 Shu army, Gongsun Shu was no longer good, and he could easily break through Chengdu.
But now, his estimate is completely wrong, as His Majesty said, even now, Gongsun Shu's strength should not be underestimated.
In fact, the Han army stationed in Guangdu, which posed a direct threat to Chengdu at all times, forced the Shu army to take the initiative to fight in Guangdu, which was the most prudent tactic.
Hua Feiyan looked at Wu Han with a ashamed face, laughed at him, and asked, "Then when does Duke Wu plan to retire?" ”
Wu Han coughed twice, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Now, our army can't withdraw even if I want to!" ”
Seeing Hua Feiyan raise his eyebrows, Wu Han sighed lightly and said: "Our army does not have many troops, and the reason why we dare to drive straight into Chengdu is because of the prestige of winning streaks and high morale.
"Now that our army has been defeated, 20,000 soldiers, more than half of them have been lost, and morale is low, at this time, even if Xie Feng and Yuan Ji are fools, they also know that they must cut off the rear road of our army and prevent our army from retreating to Guangdu."
After listening to Wu Han's analysis, Hua Feiyan gradually frowned, and after a long silence, she asked, "So, what is the countermeasure of Wu Gong?" ”
Wu Han's eyes were deep, and he said quietly: "Defeat is not necessarily a bad thing, and victory is not necessarily a good thing!" Xie Feng and Yuan Ji are two thieves, if they want to take the head of my Wu Han, they are still far away! ”
The report of this battle was also transmitted back to Chengdu as soon as possible, and as soon as he heard that Xie Feng and Yuan Ji had joined forces to thwart the attack of the Han army, Gongsun Shu was so excited that he almost jumped up so high, and he stroked his palms again and again, sighing that God had helped.
However, when he carefully read the content of the battle report, the joy on Gongsun Shu's face disappeared, and the old face suddenly sank.
Wu Han only led more than 1,000 cavalry and took the initiative to attack Yuan Ji's 40,000 army, Yuan Ji obviously had a chance to kill Wu Han, but in the end, he let Wu Han run away, missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Gongsun Shu not be angry?
Gongsun Shu immediately issued an edict, not only reprimanding Yuan Ji for his incompetence, but also reprimanding Xie Feng, an army of 60,000 could not stop the 20,000 Han army, which was simply a group of waste.
Xie Feng and Yuan Ji, who were scolded by Gongsun Shu, were also ashamed and brave, and launched a fierce attack on the camp of the Wu Han army, of course, the two of them also calculated that Liu Shangbu on the other side of the river deliberately divided a part of the troops and horses to attack the camp of Liu Shangjun, so that even if Liu Shangjun wanted to reinforce the Wu Han army, he could not do anything.
At this point in the war, the Han army was at an all-round disadvantage.
Fortunately, the camp of the Wu Han army was still strong, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers in the army desperately resisted the Shu army that was attacking on a large scale, and repelled the Shu army's offensive wave after wave.
The Shu army was attacking like a tide, and the Han army was also resisting to the death, and the battle between the two sides was not only a competition for combat power, but also a competition for willpower.
The fierce battle has lasted for three days, and during these three days, the Shu army attacked the Han camp day and night, and the battle was fierce, and the casualties of the soldiers on both sides were countless.
During this period, Liu Shangjun also dispatched 3,000 soldiers to urgently reinforce Wu Han.
On the third day of the battle, the offensive of the Shu army was more fierce than the previous two days, and it was simply a desperate attack to move forward, and even Wu Han, who was wounded and recuperating, personally climbed the wall at this time and directly commanded the soldiers to defend the camp.
At this point in the battle, the Han army is struggling to support, and the Shu army is not the same.
Outside the wall of the Han camp, the corpses of the Shu army were piled up on top of each other, and the soil on the ground was almost soaked with blood.
A Shu army broke through the camp defense of the Han army again, rushed to the wall, Wu Han not far away saw this, rushed over with a halberd in hand, and when he reached the crowd of Shu troops, a halberd stabbed forward.
Burst! The halberd penetrated the chest of a Shu soldier, castrated unabated, and stabbed in the chest of the second Shu army.
Wu Han waved his halberd and fought with the Shu army, and the groups of Shu troops were knocked to the ground by the tiger Weiliang silver halberd.
When Wu Han was leading the Han army and fighting bloodily with the Shu army, Hua Feiyan, who was dressed in a military uniform and wearing a helmet and armor, also went up to the wall, and she held a sword and fought side by side with the Han army.
Seeing Hua Feiyan, Wu Han almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, he opened a bloody path, and when Hua Feiyan approached, he asked loudly: "Hua ...... How did you get up? ”
There are enemy troops all around, and at this time, he naturally can't call Hua Feiyan a flower beauty, so that the enemy army listens, and she has to become the primary target of the attack.
Hua Feiyan took out several swords in a row, overturned the two Shu soldiers on the opposite side, and then said to Wu Han beside him: "Naturally, I came to fight the enemy with Wu Gong!" ”
"It's nonsense!"
Wu Han was so angry that his brain hurt, he picked up his halberd, swept all the Shu troops who rushed over to the ground, and said: "It is not known whether our army can hold the camp, for the sake of safety, you should quickly withdraw to the Jiangdong camp now!" ”
Although Liu Shang's side was also besieged by the Shu army, the Shu army attacking Liu Shang was much less than the Shu army attacking Wu Han, and it was safer for Hua Feiyan to go to Liu Shang's side.
Hua Feiyan said: "Wu Gong withdraws, I can withdraw, if Wu Gong doesn't withdraw, I will accompany him to the end!" ”
"You ......" Wu Han rolled his eyes angrily, but he was helpless to take the flowers.
After killing this group of Shu troops, Wu Han took Hua Feiyan's arm, came down from the wall, frowned, and said with a sinking face: "This is the last time, if Hua Meiren still doesn't listen to the general's orders, don't hang me up, you're welcome!" ”
Hua Feiyan asked with a smile: "Will Gong Wu still kill me?" ”
Wu Han snorted heavily and said, "I will send someone to escort you back to the east coast!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of drums beating outside again.
Wu Han subconsciously narrowed his eyes and muttered meaningfully: "Xie Feng and Yuan Ji, these two children, are simply crazy!" ”
Since he entered Shu, he has never seen the Shu army attack day and night when they are so crazy.
He muttered, and then his eyes fell back on Hua Feiyan again, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the camp tent immediately, just the martial arts of Hua Meiren are only worthy of staying in the camp tent!" ”
Hua Feiyan has never been known for her martial arts and skills, and she can deal with a few Jianghu people, but she is far from fighting for her life in thousands of troops.
Wu Han returned to the wall and continued to command the Han army against the enemy.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to evening, until it was dark, and the main force of the attacking Shu army retreated, leaving only a small force to harass and feint outside the Han camp.
That night, Wu Han recruited all the generals into the Chinese military tent, including Hua Feiyan.
He looked around at the generals and said: "The Shu army is attacking the camp day and night, our soldiers and soldiers are exhausted, it is the end of the strong crossbow, the Jiangxi battalion has categorically held on, and our army must retreat!" ”
Hearing this, although the generals were shocked, deep down, they all felt relieved.
The battle has been fought so far, let alone winning, it is difficult to even protect itself, and it should be the most correct choice to retreat to Jiangdong and then retreat from Jiangdong to Guangdu.
However, with Wu Han's strong character, it is really surprising that he can make the choice to withdraw his troops on his own initiative.
Hua Feiyan said: "Now, there is still a Shu army outside the camp feints, if our army withdraws, it will be discovered by the Shu army, and when the Shu army chases and kills, how should our army respond?" ”
With the current strength of the Han army, it is very difficult to resist the attack of the Shu army with a solid battalion defense as a basis.
Wu Han nodded and said, "So, I need a death squad to defeat the Shu army that feinted outside the camp and buy time for the evacuation of our army!" ”
