Chapter 1208: Bad News (2)

At the end of October, Han General and Taiyuan Shou Lecheng finally broke through Fenyin with the advantage of troops, and after the city was broken, Fenyin General, Lintao Jun Wei Ji and Fenyin Ling Kou Zheng, led the remnants to retreat to Anyi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is an urgent report sent by Jie Zilu from Luocheng to the hands of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, day and night.

After receiving this urgent report, Zhao Hongrun's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Lintaojun Wei Ji lost Fenyin, and there is nothing to talk about in itself, because Han General Lecheng led 20,000 Taiyuan troops to attack Fenyin in Hexi, and Lintaojun Wei Ji only had thousands of "Fenyin New Army" in his hands that had only been trained for a few months, and the combat ability, weapons and equipment, and number of soldiers were not as good as the army under Han General Lecheng.

In this situation of absolute disadvantage, Lintao Jun Wei Ji relied on a large river moat as a defense and desperately defended it until the end of October, which was already a very remarkable thing.

Therefore, even if Lintaojun Wei Ji loses Fenyin, as the commander of the "Weixi Battlefield", Zhao Hongrun can't blame him for anything, after all, he has done his best.

If you insist on being held responsible, the object of accountability should not be Lintaojun Wei Ji, but Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su as the commander himself.

Because in Zhao Hongrun's previous strategic arrangement, the Wei army on the "Western Wei Battlefield" adopted the strategy of "first Sichuan and then Qin", and as for the Han army attacking Hedong, Zhao Hongrun handed over this battlefield, let's call it the "Hedong Battlefield", to Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, and let the latter take the defensive.

After all, at that time, even in the entire "Weixi Battlefield", Zhao Hongrun had to face three enemies: Sichuan, Qin, and Han.

Therefore, in the case that it was impossible to do everything, he decided to concentrate his forces to deal with Sichuan and Qin first, because these two are in the same direction and the threat is higher than that of the Korean army - Qin is a big country after all, and the Korean army attacking Hedong is actually just a partial division of South Korea.

Therefore, in Zhao Hongrun's plan, he will lead the Wei army to defeat the Wuxu tribe, the Qian tribe, and the Ling tribe in Sanchuan, and severely damage the Qin army, once again creating a miracle to overthrow more than 100,000 Qin troops, and dismantle the "military merit system" of the Qin state.

After that, Zhao Hongrun was able to lead the victorious troops to cross the river to attack Han General Lecheng.

However, at that time, Zhao Hongrun never thought that Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi would be so cautious and difficult, so difficult that Zhao Hongrun could only make a surprise attack and use the method of "running 700 miles to sneak attack the Qin State itself" to force the Qin State to withdraw from this war.

I have to say that this move is very crazy, but Zhao Hongrun just wants to warn the Qin people through this madness: Don't mess with me! Otherwise, they will all be doomed!

Unexpectedly, the Qin people were not frightened by him, at least not by the Qin Wang.

Even though the Wei army was under the city of Xianyang, the Qin prince had no intention of compromising at all, so that Zhao Hongrun could only stay in the territory of the Qin state - although he led the war with the Qin state, but on the other hand, he was also held back by the Qin state, so that he could not support the Lintao monarch Wei Ji in time.

Therefore, judging from the results, Zhao Hongrun's initial strategic policy can be said to have been shattered: instead of withdrawing from the war, the Qin state was about to start a full-scale war with the Wei army under his command, and on the other hand, in the local battlefield in Hedong County, the Wei army had clearly exposed its inferiority.

"If Fenyin is lost, he will no longer be able to stop Han Jiang Lecheng......

Holding his forehead and leaning on one end of the couch, Zhao Hongrun was worried.

Fenyin, can be regarded as the gateway to the east of the river facing the west of the river, this city is lost, the Wei army in Hedong can no longer stop the Han general Lecheng, which means that the cities of "Pishi", "Beiqu", "Puban", and "Xie County" will be captured by the Han army one after another, and the Wei army in the east of the river will only be able to retreat to "Anyi".

But the question is, how many days can Anyi hold out?

You must know that the Wei general Jiang Wei, who was originally stationed in Hedong's 'Linfen', had already transferred the 'Northern Third Army' to Shangdang, and was ready to cooperate with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, to launch a counterattack against the Korean army in the direction of Handan, and the Northern First Army, which was once stationed in 'Anyi', that is, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother and Huan King Zhao Hongxuan's Northern First Army, had also been transferred back to Daliang at this moment, which caused the garrison of Hedong County to become unprecedentedly weak, and only about 30,000 troops were newly formed and integrated in the "Five Counties of Hedong".

However, Hedong County, which only had more than 30,000 recruits, faced the attack of the two Korean armies of "Taiyuan Shoule Cheng" and "Yangyi Hou Han Xu".

Therefore, objectively speaking, it is already a matter of time before Hadong County is captured by the South Korean army.

"...... Taiyuan Shoule Cheng, should it be said that it is worthy of replacing the Han general who is honest?"

Zhao Hongrun closed his eyes and thought.

He knew that Lintao Jun Wei Ji lost Fenyin, on the one hand, because of the disparity in the strength of the two armies, and on the other hand, it was also because Han General Lecheng was not an ordinary person, otherwise, how could Han Hu, the powerful minister of South Korea, choose this person to replace the "disobedient" Lian Fu?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but have a little regret in his heart: he should have sent Qu Cheng to lead the Yanling army to reinforce Hedong.

Of course, this thought of regret only swirled in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared.

The reason is very simple, if he had ordered Qu Cheng to lead 50,000 Yanling troops to reinforce Hedong, only 50,000 merchant and water troops would not be enough to deter Sanchuan.

For example, the "Northern Sichuan Alliance", which is about to inherit the tribal title of "Qiang Tribe", and its affiliated 50,000 Qiangjiao Army, Gu Yigu and Bosille, is because he feels that his Zhao Hongrun's side has a higher chance of winning than the Qin State, so he unswervingly stands on the side of the Wei State.

On the other hand, if Zhao Hongrun only entered Sanchuan with 50,000 merchant troops and more than 10,000 Dangshan troops, Gu Yigu and Bosil would have thought about it more.

What's more, Zhao Hongrun wanted to quickly eradicate the three major tribes of Wuxu, Qian, and Ling with the power of thunder, and it was impossible for the Yanling army to support Hedong.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the huge power of the Wei army under Zhao Hongrun, I believe that even the Sichuan Alliance would have raised objections to it - especially the Qiang people, who were quite emotional about Zhao Hongrun's attack on Wuxu, Qian, and Ling, but Zhao Hongrun was too strong at that time, and almost shouted the slogan of 'those who follow will prosper, and those who oppose will die', which frightened those people and made them dare not make mistakes.

Therefore, objectively speaking, Zhao Hongrun's strategy was not wrong, but he missed the "negative tactics" of Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, and at the same time underestimated the backbone of the Qin people in the face of threats.

I have to say that in fact, the war between the Qin State and the Wei army has been fought until now, and both sides are frightened, but for various reasons, whether it is Qin Wangyun or Zhao Hongrun, they can't take the initiative to make peace with the other party, so as not to be noticed by the other party.

As a result, the war could only be continued.

Two days later, Weiyang Jun Yinghua simply built a military camp more than 20 miles away from Feng Ho - to be exact, he just enclosed a piece of land with cut wood, and he didn't build any other defensive facilities such as guard towers, horse rejections, antlers, etc.

Or that reason: the Qin State can't afford to delay.

After the construction of the humble military camp was completed, Weiyang Jun Yinghua asked his subordinates to build a batch of long ladders for attacking the city overnight, preparing to attack Feng Hao.

At this time, Weiyang Jun Yinghua was no longer only 30,000 Weiyang troops, because Xianyang recruited a militia composed of "untouchables" and "criminals" from "Jingyang" and other places, using meritorious deeds as bait, that is, the "black-faced army" that had made the Wei army feel more fearful than the regular army of Qin.

On November 24, Weiyang Jun Yinghua led 30,000 Weiyang troops and 450,000 Huangmian troops to attack Feng Hao's Wei army.

The hasty battle in winter gave the army under the command of Weiyang Jun Yinghua a huge disadvantage: because of Zhao Hongrun's calculations, the Qin army had to carry a long ladder and hike more than 20 miles in the snow to reach Fenghao.

It is no exaggeration to say that when these Qin troops arrived at Feng Hao, they were already shivering with cold, especially those black-faced soldiers who were only wearing thin clothes, and they all had chilblains; On the other hand, the soldiers of the Wei army and the soldiers of the Shang and Shui army were comfortably roasting the fire in the city, waiting for the Qin army to attack.

I have to say that at the beginning of this game, Weiyang Jun Yinghua had already lost half of it.

But it must be admitted that even under the absolute disadvantage, the army under the command of Weiyang Jun Yinghua still once again let the Wei army see the fierce side of the Qin people, especially the countless black-faced troops, stimulated by the military merit system, viciously like jackals, fearless to step on the long ladder and try to climb the city wall, turning a blind eye to the sacrificed companions who kept falling down the city wall.

This siege battle was fought from noon to near dusk, and Weiyang Jun Yinghua ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Before leaving, he ordered the surviving black-faced army to take as many of his companions' corpses as possible.

The three-hour siege battle cost the Qin army 20,000 heavy casualties, and the Wei army also suffered nearly 3,000 casualties.

But what Wei Jun didn't expect was that the next day, Weiyang Jun Yinghua made a comeback and actually brought more black-faced troops, you know, more than 20,000 black-faced soldiers who died yesterday are still lying on the snow outside the city at the moment.

In another tragic siege that lasted for three hours, and near dusk, Weiyang Jun Yinghua ordered the withdrawal of his troops and asked the surviving black-faced army to drag away the bodies of his companions.

If yesterday the Wei army was still in the mood to cheer for victory, then today, the Wei army can't shout, because they don't know how many black-faced troops they have to face.

The defeat of the two siege battles caused Weiyang Jun Yinghua to lose more than 40,000 troops of the Black Face Army.

But after Weiyang Jun Yinghua returned to the barracks that night, there was no frustration on his face because of the two fiascos.

His eyes were still calm.

"After today's battle, the Wei army in Feng Ho City should no longer have crossbow arrows......

Ten fingers crossed, sitting behind the desk in the handsome tent, Weiyang Jun Yinghua's eyes flashed a few different colors.

Suddenly, he called into the guards outside the tent.

"Send the order down, gather 3,000 cavalry, and follow me to attack Feng Ho at night tonight!"
