Chapter 645: I'd rather die than withdraw
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Faced with the predicament in front of him, Wu Han thought about it repeatedly and analyzed carefully, and finally decided to take Qin Feng as his breakthrough.
Qin Fengjun is currently stationed in Huangyouju, a small town with a small population, on the bank of the Yellow Post Water. Huang Youju did not have a city defense, but there was a ring of earthen walls on the periphery of the town, and for the army, this circle of earth walls was almost the same as not.
At present, Deng Fengjun is stationed in Xinye, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and most of them are Nanyang veterans, brave in battle, Yancen army is stationed in Chaoyang, Chaoyang City is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yancen's subordinates, most of them are Hanzhong veterans, who are also brave and good at fighting.
Relatively speaking, Qin Fengjun, who was stationed in Huangyouju, was relatively easy to fight. As the so-called persimmon should be pinched softly, in the eyes of Wu Han, Qin Fengjun is the soft persimmon.
With the goal of the battle, Wu Han led the army to attack Huangyouju. When Qin Feng learned the news that the Han army was attacking his side, he immediately sent people to send letters to Deng Feng and Yan Cen, asking them to quickly lead the army to help.
At the same time, Qin Feng personally commanded the elite army under his command, and opened a formation outside the Huangyou gathering, putting on a posture of wanting to fight to the death with the Han army.
In Qin Feng's opinion, the people he led were all elite soldiers, even if they were not the opponents of the Han army, they could at least resist the Han army for two or three days.
Two or three days later, Deng Feng's reinforcements and Yancen's reinforcements will inevitably rush to Huangyouju, and when the three-way army of their own side besieges the Han army, how can they be invincible?
But he underestimated Wu Han too much, and he underestimated the combat power of the Han army too much.
Don't look at the current situation of the Han army is very critical, it was forced to run around in Nanyang, but the main force still exists, and the combat power has not decreased. At present, the Han army has been forced to a dead end, and the battle with Qin Feng is the last battle of the Han army in Nanyang.
Victory, the whole army can break through Nanyang, defeated, the whole army is afraid that the whole army will be wiped out in Nanyang.
Therefore, in this battle, both Wu Han and the soldiers below showed their fighting spirit and determination to break through the cauldron and launch a fierce attack on Qin Feng's army.
As the saying goes, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. Qin Feng thought that his elite troops could temporarily resist the attack of the Han army, but in the actual engagement, it was not the case at all.
The Han army of more than 80,000 people, like more than 80,000 bloodthirsty beasts, launched a fierce offensive against the Qin Feng army on the battlefield.
Qin Feng's elite army only lasted for an hour in front of the wolf-like Han army.
An hour later, the battlefield had become almost one-sided. The Han army was constantly advancing and crushing, and the cavalry and horse teams were either sideways or backward or interspersed, and the cavalry and foot coordination had reached the point of perfection.
In the face of the Han army's offensive like a stormy wave, Qin Feng's army couldn't care about the front and the back, and the left and right couldn't take care of the right, and the soldiers were defeated and retreated in groups.
Some of the soldiers remained on the battlefield, desperately resisting the Han army, and some of the soldiers had no intention of fighting and retreated one after another.
As soon as Qin Feng's army was in chaos, the fighting spirit of the Han army was even higher, and the offensive was faster and more ferocious. Qin Feng, who was commanding the battle in the rear, didn't want to prevent the rout of his own soldiers, but he really couldn't stop it.
Seeing the rout of his own front army, the chaos of the Chinese army, and the retreat of the rear army, Qin Feng realized that his own side could no longer fight this battle, so he ordered the whole army to retreat and retreat to Huangyouju.
But when the two armies are entangled, how can it be so easy to retreat?
Qin Fengjun was chased and killed by the Han army all the way, and fled into the Yellow Post Ju in a hurry. Qin Fengjun wanted to use the earthen wall that was more than one person high to stop the attack of the Han army, which was undoubtedly a joke.
The soldiers of the Han army rushed to the bottom of the earthen wall, and the first batch of soldiers leaned against the earthen wall to form a human wall, and the soldiers behind stepped on the human wall and climbed directly to the top of the earthen wall.
As the Han army attacked Huangyouju in one go, Qin Feng's army was no longer an organized retreat this time, but scattered and fled.
Qin Feng took some of his henchmen and escaped from Huangyouju like a lost dog, and fled all the way to Nanjun.
In this battle, the Han army led by Wu Han defeated Qin Feng's army, which not only greatly improved the morale of his own soldiers, but also resolved the danger of his own being trapped in Nanyang.
After that, Wu Han did not pursue Qin Feng, led the Han army, retreated all the way to the east, went to Fuyang, passed through Fuyang, and then went east, you can enter Runan County in Yuzhou. When you arrive in Runan, it is equivalent to escaping. Deng Feng and Yan Cen didn't expect that Qin Feng's army would be so vulnerable and defeated so quickly, and they couldn't hold on for even a day, and they were killed by the Han army and collapsed for thousands of miles. Deng Feng and Yan Cen refused to let the Han army flee Nanyang and led their respective forces
and then pursued the Han army.
The army of the two of them was combined, there were more than ten thousand people, and most of the troops were veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their combat strength was no weaker than that of the Han army.
If it is a head-to-head confrontation, the Han army led by Wu Han may not be able to defeat the combined forces of Deng Feng and Yancen.
Wu Han led his army all the way east, and finally entered Runan. But Deng Feng and Yan Cen also led the army to chase and kill into Runan. Wu Han had no choice but to lead his troops north to Yingchuan in the north of Runan.
Now whether it is the Han army running in front or the combined forces of Deng Feng and Yancen chasing behind, they are all miserable.
Previously, the logistics supply of Wu Han's army was attacked and looted by Deng Feng's army, and the food in the army was already very small, and the soldiers could eat two meals a day.
And the combined forces of Deng Feng and Yancen are also short of military rations.
Deng Feng's food reserves are not much, but there are a lot of troops, and the daily consumption is astronomical, and Yan Cen is even poorer, he has lost his own territory, and he and tens of thousands of subordinates are, to put it bluntly, an army of outcasts.
It can be said that whether it is running in front or chasing behind, the soldiers on both sides are hungry. For Wu Hanjun, they have an innate advantage, that is, they run ahead.
The place where Wu Hanjun passed was like a locust plague crossing the border, but everything that could be eaten was robbed of everything, and even the bark of the tree was eager to be stripped away and taken away, and they did not even give a grain of food to the pursuers behind.
After Wu Han led the Han army into Yingchuan, the combined forces of Deng Feng and Yancen did not dare to pursue it anymore. First, the soldiers under his command really couldn't hold on, and second, the Han army found a response in Yingchuan, Wang Chang.
Wang Chang was born in the Green Forest Army, and he is also the chief general of the Xiajiang Army, one of the three giants of the Green Forest Army, and is one of the core leaders of the Green Forest Army. But he was different from other leaders of the Green Forest Army, and Wang Chang had a particularly good relationship with Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu.
After Liu Xuanding the capital of Chang'an, he was still very good to Wang Chang, gave him the surname Liu, canonized him as King Deng, eight counties of Shiyi, and specially allowed him to be in his own territory, but he could be in charge of life and death.
Such a reward is equivalent to making Wang Chang a soil emperor.
Wu Han led his army into Yingchuan and happened to meet Wang Chang in Yingchuan. Wang Chang not only provided the Han army with the most scarce grain and grass, but was also willing to stand on the same front with the Han army against the combined forces of Deng Feng and Yancen.
With Wang Chang's assistance, the Han army finally relieved this breath. Deng Feng and Yan Cen did not dare to chase into Yingchuan and retreated west to Nanyang.
At this point, the Han army's operation in Nanyang came to an end temporarily. With the withdrawal of the main force of the Han army led by Wu Han from Nanyang, the Han army was left with only one lonely city, Wancheng, here in Nanyang.
Wancheng.
After Wan Xuan died of illness, a few days later, news came from the south that Wu Han's army broke Qin Feng's army and began to retreat in the direction of Runan. Liu Xiu realized that Wancheng was about to become a lonely city, he summoned the generals of Jianlu and said: "Ziling, Da Sima has led the main force of our army and is preparing to evacuate Nanyang. Ziling is in Wancheng, and it is difficult to support it alone
I'll retreat to Luoyang together! ”
Jian Rong bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being difficult to obey!" ”
"Huh?" As soon as he said this, not to mention Liu Xiu was stunned, the other generals present were also stunned. Liu Xiu asked in surprise, "Ziling still wants to stay in Wancheng?" "Yes, Your Majesty! Weichen wants to stay in Wancheng! Seeing Liu Xiu frowning, Jian Jian took a deep breath, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Wancheng is a place where General Wan is desperately guarding, and now General Wan is buried here, as long as Weichen still has three inches of qi, only."
If the Nanyang thieves have not been pacified, Weichen will swear to defend Wancheng to the death and never take a step back! Liu Xiu's nose was sour, his eyes were red, he stood up, walked to Jian Rong, patted the armor on his body, and said, "Jun You, a temporary retreat is not a permanent abandonment. I can guarantee that sooner or later, one day, we will fight back to the south
Yang, by that time, will definitely defeat Deng Feng and Yancen thieves and recapture Wancheng! ”
Jian Rong lowered his head and did not speak.
Liu Xiu patted his arm again and said, "Okay, with the current situation, it is imperative to give up Wancheng, and Jun You will act according to his orders." ”
After speaking, he was about to turn around and walk back to his seat, when Jian Rong, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen...... will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected! ”
Jian Rong's words shocked the bodies of everyone present. Outside the general, the king's order is not subject to it, and there is indeed such an unwritten rule in the army. But the problem is that in this case, the Son of Heaven is usually not present, and the will that comes does not correspond to the actual situation, and the commander-in-chief of the army can adapt to the situation and do not act according to the will of the Son of Heaven. But now that the Son of Heaven is here, let him evacuate in front of Jianji
Wancheng, he actually came up with a sentence of 'will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside', which not only made people feel crying and laughing, but also made people can't help but pinch a cold sweat for him.
Liu Xiu's face sank, and he frowned and said, "I now order you that you must lead the army to evacuate Wancheng!" ”
Jian Rong knelt on the ground, maintained a posture of kowtowing forward, and said: "Weichen is on the order of Da Sima to guard Wancheng, as long as Da Sima does not send an order to withdraw the army, Weichen cannot withdraw!" ”
"You ......," Liu Xiu pointed to Jian Rong, who was kneeling in front of him. You are so bold, you dare to move out of Da Sima to press me! These words came to Liu Xiu's mouth, and he swallowed them back.
He understood that the purpose of Jian Rong moving out of Wu Han was that he didn't want to leave. He is the Son of Heaven, and his own words are the Holy Decree, even Wu Han has to listen to the Holy Decree, let alone Jian Rong?
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "Ziling, Jun You died of illness, and my Han family has lost one of the generals, does Ziling still want my Han family to lose another general?" ”
Jian Rong said: "General Wan said that as a general, if you can die in front of the two armies, you will be lucky! ”
Liu Xiu stared at Jian Rong for a while, and said categorically: "I don't want to hear this, I order you now, you must withdraw to Luoyang with me!" ”
Jian Rong's tone was also firm, and he said: "Wechen would rather die than withdraw from Wancheng, if Your Majesty wants to kill Wechen because Wechen disobeys the order, Wechen also complains, I only ask Your Majesty to bury Wechen next to the tomb of General Wan!" ”
"......" looked at the strong man who was willing to die, and Liu Xiu had no choice. He muttered: "Ziling is alone in Wancheng, if the thief army comes to attack on a large scale, what is the solution? ”
Jian Rong bowed forward again. Why? He didn't know what to do, he only knew that as long as he was alive, he would inherit Wan Xuan's will, stay in Wancheng, and fight the thief to the death.
He didn't speak, Ren Guan came out of the ranks, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xiu, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to stay in Wancheng and fight the thief army with General Jian, please allow Your Majesty!" All the generals present came out one after another, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Weichen is willing to stay in Wancheng and fight the thief army with General Jian, please give your Majesty's permission!" ”
