Chapter 1173: Fight to the Death
A few days later, Wu Han led his troops to Nan'an and joined Zang Palace.
With the arrival of Wu Han, the panicked Han army suddenly stabilized.
The difference between the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Western Expeditionary Army was that after Lai She's death, no one could replace him and become the new commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, while after Cen Peng's death, Wu Han quickly took over the entire army, including the Southern Expeditionary Army.
The generals of Zang Palace welcomed Wu Han into Nan'an City like the stars holding the moon.
The war was imminent, and the number of people in Nan'an City did not decrease, but the streets on both sides were full of people who had fled.
Seeing Wu Han's gaze scanning both sides of the street from time to time, Zang Gong introduced: "Da Sima, these people retreated to Nan'an with our army at the beginning. ”
Wu Han didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly: "What do they eat?" ”
Zang Gong said: "At present, the military rations are divided from the army......" Before he finished speaking, Wu Han said: "This is Jun Ran's idea!" ”
Zang Gong looked at Wu Han and nodded silently.
In Wu Han's view, Cen Peng's approach is the benevolence of women, but now it is the most critical moment of the Battle of Pingshu, raising so many people, doesn't it create a huge burden for the soldiers of the whole army! "What's next?" he asked. ”
"This ...... Please also ask Da Sima to decide! ”
Zang Gong leaned over and said.
Wu Han said categorically: "If there is enough grain and grass in the army, one or two can be relieved, and if because of the relief of the people, the soldiers of our army are short of food and clothing, and they are hungry, then whoever takes out the grain, I will want someone's head!" ”
Zang Gong shrunk his neck, feeling the back of his neck cold.
He hurriedly said: "Da Sima, Nan'an has hoarded a lot of grain, when our army captured Nan'an, the grain hoarded here was captured by our army, and now our army has enough food and grass...... Before he finished speaking, Wu Han interrupted again: "Okay, the military rations are still up to you, Jun Weng, you continue to be responsible, I still say that, you can take out the military rations to help the people, but we must not let our own brothers go hungry, how to grasp it, you can handle it yourself." ”
"Hey!"
Zang Gong bowed in response.
When they arrived at the Han army camp in the city and entered the Chinese military tent, Wu Han and the generals sat down one after another.
Wu Han looked at Zang Gong and said, "Jun Weng, tell me about the situation here in Nan'an." ”
"Yes! Great Sima! ”
Zang Gong stood up and talked about the confrontation between his side and the Shu army in Nan'an.
At present, the 100,000 Shu army led by Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke is stationed in Yufujin, which is one of the ferries of Nan'an, and Nan'an is close at hand, only ten miles away.
However, the Shu army stationed in Yufujin was very stop, and during this period of time, it will take the initiative to attack Nan'an in the future.
The officers and men of the two armies are close at hand, but they are safe and sound.
Liu Xin continued: "When the Shu army first arrived in Nan'an, it attacked the city for three consecutive days, and the casualties were not small. ”
Zang Gong Zhengse said: "Don't be careless, our army still needs to be careful!" ”
The generals nodded their heads in agreement, and Wu Han said, "No need! ”
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at Wu Han in surprise.
Wu Han said: "Completely annihilating the enemy army is the best guard. ”
As he spoke, Wu Han stood up and turned around, and on the tent cloth behind him hung a simple map of Nan'an and Yu Fujin.
He put his hands behind his back, raised his eyes for a while, and said, "Three days later, our army will attack Yufujin!" ”
The generals of Zang Palace involuntarily stood up one after another, looking at Wu Han with a look of surprise.
Wu Han said: "Liu Shang! ”
"The last general!"
"You lead our naval army to attack Yufujin by water."
"The last general obeys!"
"Junweng!"
"The last general!"
"You lead 30,000 troops to attack Yufujin by land!"
"The last general obeys!"
"Liu Xin!"
"The last general!"
"You led 10,000 troops, all of whom selected soldiers with good water quality, detoured to the upper reaches of Yufujin, and laid a pillar for me overnight."
"The last general obeys!"
"The remaining 10,000 soldiers will stay in Nan'an and not give the enemy a chance!"
"Whoa!"
Wu Han obviously came prepared, and the battle plan was already well understood, and he successively ordered that the soldiers who would attack Yufujin be divided into three routes, one by water, one by land, and one by land, and one by one to go upstream to lay a pillar, which was obviously cutting off the enemy's retreat.
Looking at Wu Han's battle plan, this is a made up his mind, he doesn't want to give the Shu army a way to live, and before the battle starts, he wants to cut off the retreat of the Shu army, of course, this is also the high self-confidence shown by a main general.
Wu Han's self-confidence immediately boosted the morale of the officers and men of the whole army, and the people swept away the sadness of the death of Cen Peng in the past few days, and the morale of the whole army was high.
The next day, Zang Gong and Liu Xin took the lead and led 40,000 Han troops to Yufujin.
When they arrived at Yufujin, Zang Gongbu set up camp, and Liu Xinbu continued to go north and marched towards Yufujin's march.
Hearing that the Han army took the initiative to attack, Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke were shocked, although the Han army stationed outside Yufujin was only 30,000 people, and Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke had an army of 100,000, but the two did not dare to rush into battle.
The two of them also heard that Wu Han led his troops to Nan'an, who was Wu Han?
That is the great Sima of the Luoyang Imperial Court, the god of war in the Han army.
When Wu Han arrived in Nan'an, Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke were both jealous and did not dare to fight easily.
Zang Gong did not move, and after Liu Xin's troops arrived at the upper reaches of Yufujin, they cut down trees on the spot, made pillars, and nailed them to the river.
Nailing a pillar in the river can not only prevent the retreat of the Shu army in Yufujin, but also prevent the reinforcement of the upstream Shu army to Yufujin, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After Liu Xin's department set up the pillars, the Han army led by Wu Han also officially sounded the horn of attack.
The first to attack was the naval army headed by Liu Shang.
Liu Shang's army left Nan'an, went upstream, and went straight to Yufujin.
Hearing the news that the Han army sailors were attacking, Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke were both startled, Gongsun Yong found Wei Ke for the first time, and asked in a trembling voice: "It's over!" Wu Han led his troops to call, this ...... How good is that? ”
Gongsun Yong has no ability, and in the Shu army, the person who really gives orders is actually Wei Ke.
Wei Ke frowned, and said quietly: "The enemy army is going to fight to the death with our army!" ”
General Wei said this...... What do you mean by that? ”
"Liu Xin arranged a column in the upper reaches of Yufujin, the purpose of which is to cut off the back road of our army, which is to force our army to break through the cauldron and sink into the middle and fight to the death with the Han army!"
He ...... How dare they? ”
Gongsun Yong's face turned pale, and he said urgently: "Even if it ...... Even if Wu Han arrived in Nan'an, he only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the Han army was only 80,000 when combined, our army, our army has 100,000 soldiers! ”
With 80,000 people, beating 100,000 people, and forcing 100,000 people to break the cauldron and sink the boat, who gave Wu Han so much confidence and courage?
Wei Ke glanced at Gongsun Yong deeply, and said meaningfully: "The commander of the enemy army, but Wu Han and Wu Ziyan!" ”
In Wei Ke's mind, Wu Han's combat ability is definitely above Cen Peng.
Cen Peng treats the enemy, sometimes he will talk about benevolence and righteousness, but Wu Han is different, that is, he is a ruthless and desperate master, in terms of war style, Wu Han is definitely much sharper and more fierce than Cen Peng.
Wei Ke took a deep breath and said: "Wu Han doesn't give our army a way to retreat, and he has already hit the doorstep, we can't avoid it if we want to, we can only fight to the death with him!" ”
As he spoke, he stood up and shouted, "All the soldiers of the army, I will fight!" ”
Under the command of Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke, there were a total of 100,000 Shu troops, but among the 100,000 Shu troops, the number of water troops was not large, and they came to Nan'an not to fight a water war with the Han army, but to attack the city.
Now Liu Shang is leading 30,000 sailors to attack, and the Shu army can only mobilize about 10,000 sailors.
Wei Ke's tactic was to use his own more than 10,000 sailors to temporarily drag Liu Shangbu, and he and Gongsun Yong led the main army to attack Zang Gongbu.
As long as his own naval army can hold Liu Shangbu for an hour or two, Wei Ke is confident that he can defeat Zang Gongbu on a frontal battlefield.
After all, there are only 30,000 people in the Zang Palace, and there are more than 80,000 people in the main army of his side, which is three times that of the enemy, how can he not be victorious?
Under Wei Ke's arrangement, more than 10,000 sailors of the Shu army left the Yufujin ferry and set up a formation on the river, assuming a defensive posture to resist Liu Shangjun.
At the same time, Wei Ke and Gongsun Yong led the main force of the Shu army, left Yufujin, and went straight to the camp of the Zanggong army.
In the camp of the Zang Gong army, not only Zang Gong is there, but Wu Han is also there.
In the face of the menacing main force of the Shu army, only 30,000 Han soldiers and soldiers, if they are not afraid, it is a lie, but with Wu Han, although the soldiers are nervous, but the army is not confused.
As an excellent commander, the minimum characteristic he has is that no matter when and what kind of predicament he faces, he can play a role in the army.
Wu Han is here, in the face of a strong enemy, the soldiers of the Han army are not nervous, and Wu Han is even more relaxed.
He ordered: "Jun Weng, you lead 10,000 soldiers, as the left wing, to the left camp, when the enemy breaks the camp, you will lead the left wing soldiers, kill out of the camp, flank the enemy in the middle of the army!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
"Yang Xi, you lead 10,000 soldiers, as the right wing, to the right camp, when the enemy breaks the camp, you will lead the right wing soldiers, kill out of the camp, flank the enemy's army!"
"The last general obeys!"
Zang Gong and Yang Xi both received the order, and then the two subconsciously glanced at each other, looked at Wu Han together, and whispered: "Da Sima, we will take away 20,000 soldiers and ...... in the camp." There were only 10,000 soldiers left in the battalion! ”
"10,000 soldiers, it's enough to resist the Shu thieves!"
Wu Han said with a relaxed face.
"Da Sima ......" "Okay, don't say more, do as you are told!"
Wu Han waved his hand to Zang Gong and Yang Xi.
Let's say that the main force of the Shu army led by Wei Ke and Gongsun Yong launched a fierce attack on the Han army camp.
The Han army that resisted the main force of the Shu army was only the 10,000 Han soldiers led by Wu Han himself.
The soldiers of the Han army relied on the wall of the camp to attack the Shu army that had been attacked.
The Shu army attacked like a tide, but was repelled by the Han army again and again.
Seeing that the defending Han army was resisting very strongly, the Shu army attacking in front was afraid and retreated.
Seeing this, Wei Ke was furious and ordered to replace the former army commander and continue to storm the Han camp.
In the second round of attack, the Shu army attacked more fiercely, and at this time, the 10,000 Han troops defending the camp began to gradually become unable to support it.
Seeing that his soldiers were gradually losing strength, Wu Han was very straightforward and immediately ordered all his troops to retreat and withdraw to the inside of the camp.
As soon as the Han army withdrew, countless Shu troops immediately attacked the wall, and then jumped into the camp from the wall.
As a large number of Shu troops attacked the camp, Wu Han ordered the whole army to release arrows.
The Han army did not shoot ordinary arrows, but rockets.
It turned out that when the Han army evacuated the wall, the wall was sprinkled with fireoil, and the rockets fell on the fireoil, and the fire snake jumped in all directions, only in an instant, a whole wall of the wall became a long wall of fire.
