Chapter 692: Failed Resistance
Tian Tan is also an old acquaintance for Xiang Mo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From the time when Xiang Mo first sat in Zhaoguan and suppressed Wu Yue, he had already begun to hear that there was a terrible guy in Qi State, who led hundreds of soldiers to attack a military camp of tens of thousands of people in their Chu State at night, and quietly came and left calmly.
Later, the name Tian Tan became more and more famous, especially one year, Tian Tan's troops went out of the Yushan Fortress and fought all the way to Zhaoguan, where Xiang Mo was located, and almost penetrated half of Chudong.
During this period, I don't know how many people ridiculed Tian Tan's lonely army, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and sent troops several times to cut off Tian Tan's way back, but Tian Tan seemed to have germinated a will to die, and no longer thought about going back to Qi State, and launched a war with Chu State in eastern Chu that lasted for nearly a year.
During that period, Tian Tan led his army to shuttle through the territory of Chu, and when the grain and grass were almost cut off, he attacked and attacked the cities of Chu everywhere.
Sometimes the state of Chu sent heavy troops, but Tian Tan was unable to stop it, so he retreated.
But as soon as the army of Chu retreated, Tian Tan went and returned, and once again planted the military flag of Qi on the city wall.
In that year, Tian Tan conquered fifty-four Chu cities, it is said that there is a city, Tian Tan and the Chu army come and go to fight each other, so that Tian Tan conquered this city seven times, and the city is ten miles of red land in the end, as if the air is filled with a strong smell of blood.
And in the end, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, sent Tian Yan and Tian Wei to come to answer, and then brought Tian Tan back.
After this battle, Tian Tan is known to everyone in the Chu State, talking about it like talking about a tiger, and his fierce reputation has also reached the point where he can make a child stop crying.
Putting aside Tian Tan's evil habit of hanging the nobles of the Chu State on the tower of the city gate, Xiang Mo also recognized that this person was a brave man.
Therefore, Xiang Mo was not surprised that Tian Tan led 50,000 or 60,000 Qi troops this time, and actually dared to ambush the 500,000 Chu army under his command, because this was not the craziest thing Tian Tan had ever done.
In contrast, that Wei Gongzirun actually had such courage, which surprised Xiang Mo.
In addition to the accident, Xiang Mo's jealousy of Zhao Hongrun also increased a few points.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiang Mo returned to the army with Zicheji and others.
During this period, Xiang Mo met the general Zuo Liang, so he asked the latter about the ambush of the army.
However, Chu General Zuo Liang was also confused about this.
It is no wonder that after all, there are as many as 500,000 Chu troops who have evacuated to the south this time, which is extremely widely distributed, so even if they know that the army was ambushed by Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan, it will be difficult for many Chu soldiers to find their location in an instant.
"Raise the flag."
Xiang Mo gave an order to the soldiers behind him.
Immediately, all the relatives and soldiers erected the handsome flag with the words "General Xiang of Chu".
The reason why the first thing is to erect the flag is because there are rules in the army, but wherever the commander's flag is located, it is the commander's office.
Therefore, Xiang Mo ordered people to erect his handsome flag, just to let the generals under his command know the location of the handsome, which not only played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, but also made it convenient for his subordinates to send people to deliver the news.
No, the soldiers who waited for the end of the item put up the handsome flag high, and then set up the handsome tent on the spot, and in the distance, the generals in the army sent heralds to deliver the news.
Xiang Mo learned that the Wei army was on the west side of his army, and the Qi army was on the east side of his army, and these two troops and horses were dispatched together to attack the middle of the 500,000 Chu army at the same time, because these two armies appeared so abruptly that the Chu army generals were defenseless, which led to the 500,000 Chu army actually failed to organize a counterattack at the first time.
Think about it, after all, this Chu army is as many as 500,000, looking at the world, how many people have such courage and courage to lead the army to sneak attack?
However, in fact, just because there are many troops does not mean that you can resist a sneak attack like this, such as Xiang Mo.
At this moment, he knew that there was a Wei army and a Qi army scurrying back and forth in his army, but he was suffering from the inconvenience of conveying orders, and it was difficult to dispatch the troops under his command as usual.
And at this time, it depends on whether the generals in the army can take charge alone.
Fortunately, among the 500,000 troops under Xiang Mo's command, there are not many generals who can take charge alone.
"Order Zhou Kui to block the Wei army, and Mu Luo to block the Qi army. …… The rest of the generals are temporarily dispatched by the two generals Zhou and Mu. ”
"Yes!"
The herald was given the order to go.
Xiang Mo spread out the marching map in the tent and marked the locations of the Wei army and the Qi army one by one.
He was not worried about the fatal casualties caused by the Wei army on the west road and the Qi army on the east road to his 500,000 army, after all, the combined strength of the two partial divisions was far inferior to him, in contrast, Xiang Mo was more keen to find the current foothold of Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan.
Once he found the current foothold of these two, he could turn the defense into an attack and drown these two daring guys with an army of half a million.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for news to come from the army, saying that the Wei army and the Qi army had retreated one after another.
Moreover, the herald conveyed the direction of the retreat of the two armies to Xiang Mo.
Relying on a lot of information, Xiang Mo roughly circled the foothold of the Wei army and the Qi army: the Wei army was in a forest on the southwest side, and the Qi army was on a hill in the southeast, both of which were on the way for Xiang Mo's army to withdraw south.
Hum! I see. It seems that these two people didn't plan to let Xiang evacuate south easily......
Xiang Mo shook his head with a smile.
If Suxian is considered a decoy, then the Wei army and the Qi army control the passage for the retreat of Xiang Mo's army to the south, which can be regarded as a poor dagger.
All in all, Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan obviously didn't want to let Xiang Mo's 500,000 army evacuate to the south, hoping to intercept it here, and it was best to drag Xiang Mo here, so that once the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, who was behind Xiang Mo's army, arrived, the three-way soldiers and horses besieged Xiang Mo, or it was possible to make Xiang Mo's army hurt and even annihilate this army in a war.
It's just that it's hard.
Because the commander of this Chu army is Xiang Mo, a famous general of the Chu State.
The Qi army that was pursuing behind our army was a small force of Tian Yan, the vanguard official of Qi State, and there was Tu Shen to deal with Tian Yan, so there was no need to be afraid of this road. And the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, should still be a day's journey from here...... No, for the sake of insurance, it still counts as a half-day. In other words, I have half a day's free time to deal with that Ji Run or Tian Tan......
"Half a day."
Xiang Mo let out a long breath.
I have to say that half a day is a bit short.
You must know that he commanded an army of 500,000 troops, and the sergeants of the army withdrew all the way from Fulisai to Suxian, and there was almost no stop and rest on the way, and the army was tired, otherwise, Shicai would not have been attacked by the Wei army and the Qi army, and he was unable to organize even a decent counterattack.
So the question now is, do you want to beat Ji Run, or do you want to fight Tian Tan? Or are the soldiers divided into two ways and attacked each other?
It was just a matter of a change of thought, and Xiang Mo made a decision.
"Pass the order to go down, surround that forest, all armies and departments, and storm the Wei army!"
Actually attacking the Wei army?
Ziche Ji, who was waiting in the tent, looked at Zuo Liangmian with each other, because they both thought that Xiang Mo would choose Qi Jiang Tian Tan's road to break through.
After all, the latter's reputation is even greater, and if Tian Tan can be killed by the way during the breakout, this feat may directly reverse all the disadvantages of the Chu army before.
However, the general in front of him chose to break through from the road of Ji Run, the son of Wei.
Does this mean that Ji Run, the prince of Wei, has more weight in the heart of this general than Tian Tan?
……
Zicheji and Zuo Liang glanced at each other, thoughtful.
In fact, as the two of them guessed, Xiang Mo was even more jealous of Zhao Hongrun than Tian Tan.
The reason is very simple, because Tian Tan is only the general of the Qi State, unless this person rebels and succeeds, otherwise, Tian Tan will never be able to dominate the will of the Qi State.
But Zhao Hongrun is different, he is the son of Wei, the eighth son of the king of Wei, and he has a chance to become the next king of Wei.
If this son is just a sparse and ordinary person, then it is fine, but Xiang Mo looks at Zhao Hongrun's various behaviors in his Chu State, and feels that this Wei Gongzi clearly has enough ambitions to make people surprised.
Xiang Mo even suspected that if Allah, the prince of Wei, slaughtered the Wei State and became the king of Wei in the future, it might become a great problem for their Chu State.
Therefore, Xiang Mo did not hesitate to choose to break through from the side of the Wei army, and if he had the opportunity, he did not mind burying the outstanding Wei prince Ji Run with his own hands.
At the sound of an order, the 500,000 Chu troops turned around and pursued the Wei army.
This movement once made Tian Tan feel inexplicable, because he couldn't figure out how his status in Xiang Mo's heart could be compared to Zhao Hongrun.
However, after some deep thought, Tian Tan thought of the key to it.
This item is really a person of foresight......
Tian Tan said secretly in his heart.
In all fairness, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Xi, the Ming monarch of Qi State, would die soon, and none of Lu Xi's sons would have become a weapon, so that Qi State would need to rely on Wei State to help him in the future, otherwise, I am afraid that Tian Tan would also have murderous intentions towards Zhao Hongrun.
After all, this era is like this, a Qi king Lu Xi made Qi become the overlord of the Central Plains, who can be sure that Wei Gongzi Run will not be the lord of Wei's Zhongxing?
It's a pity that in the current situation of Qi State, how can Tian Tan stand by and watch Zhao Hongrun die?
What's more, they still have a gambling contract.
After thinking about it, Tian Tan once again ordered troops to be dispatched.
Fighting head-on with Xiang Mo's army, this is an extremely stupid death-seeking behavior, what Tian Tan has to do is to harass the Chu army and reduce the pressure on the Wei army.
On the other hand, Xiang Mo drove 500,000 Chu troops to kill the Wei army, and the green crows quickly reported to Zhao Hongrun.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was also full of consternation.
You must know that intercepting Xiang Mo's army, this is Tian Tan's idea, and he, Zhao Hongrun, just sees Tian Tan's murderous reputation in Chu State even worse, so he wants to take some light with him, because in his original thought, the number one enemy in Xiang Mo's heart should be Tian Tan.
But the current situation is that Xiang Mo left Tian Tan and led an army of up to 500,000 to attack his Wei army, which Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand.
Isn't it just that I want to follow Tian Tan to get wet, who am I trying to provoke?
With a wry smile, Zhao Hongrun immediately ordered the forest to be set on fire, and the whole army withdrew south.
It's okay to follow Tian Tan to take advantage of Xiang Mo, but if you want Zhao Hongrun to confront Xiang Mo's 500,000 army, Zhao Hongrun is not so stupid. (To be continued.) )
