Chapter 497: Secret Layout

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Xie led his troops and struggled to block the Qingcalf Army who broke through, but in the end, he was killed by the Qingcalf Army and successfully broke through.

The Qingcalf army led by Sun Mao had 100,000 people, and after this battle, the troops came in half, and the Qingcalf army that followed Sun Mao to successfully escape was only about 50,000 people.

This battle can frighten Sun Mao a lot, and he led the remnants to flee from Chaoge back to Inu. The You Lai army, which was originally marching towards Chaoge, heard the news of Sun Mao's defeat, and immediately turned around and returned to Shanyang.

Even Sun Deng's troops stopped their march and stayed where they were.

This time, the Han army won another great victory, inflicting heavy losses on Sun Mao's troops in Hanoi, and now, whether it is Liu Xiujun or Xie Gongjun, the morale has been raised.

Liu Xiu and Xie Bow discussed and decided to strike while the iron was hot, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and shoot directly at the old nest dog of the Qingcalf Army, completely annihilating the Qingcalf Army. Dog shooting is a small town next to Shanyang County, Shanyang County is the nest of You Laijun, dog shooting is the old nest of the Qingcalf Army, the two are close at hand, living next to each other, so the relationship between the Qingli Army and You Laijun has always been good, often have contacts, and often one

to fit. This time, the Qingli Army wanted to avenge Sun Li and asked You Laijun for help, You Laijun did not make excuses to excuse himself, and directly sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to aid the Qingli Army, but the 100,000 soldiers and horses they reinforced did not come in handy, and they only went halfway and were Han

Jun came back frightened.

Liu Xiu speculated that if his army went to attack the dog shooting, it would definitely startle the You Lai army in Shanyang, and the You Lai army would never join forces with the Qingcalf army and fight to the death with his own side.

If they cross the Yellow River and run to the Luoyang area, wouldn't they be looking for death? Therefore, the greatest possibility of the Youlai army is to flee north.

Liu Xiu suggested bowing, leading the army north, halfway to block the You Lai army fleeing north, there is no need to defeat the You Lai army, just block their route to the north.

And he himself led his subordinates to conquer the two places of Inusha and Shanyang first, and then turned north, joined forces with the Xie Gong Army, flanked the Youlai Army, and completely wiped out the two bandit armies of the Qingcalf Army and the Youlai Army.

As long as the thief army in Hanoi is eliminated, it is equivalent to stabilizing Wei County, and Wei County is stable, which is equivalent to creating a stable southern granary for Jizhou, which is very important for the overall stability of Jizhou.

Regarding Liu Xiu's strategic analysis, Xie Gong thought deeply and agreed to Liu Xiu's strategy without thinking too much.

Subsequently, the Han army began to divide its troops into two routes, to be exact, it should be divided into three routes, but the third route army was so secretive that it didn't even know how to bow.

On the surface, the Han army led by Liu Xiu advanced to the southwest and rushed straight to Goushu and Shanyang, while the Han army led by Xie Gong was marching westward, wanting to block the Youlai army that would flee north.

In private, Liu Xiu gave Wu Han a secret mission, asking him to lead five thousand cavalry, quietly return to Wei County, and go straight to Yecheng.

Let's say that Liu Xiujun, who went south from Chaoge, drove straight in, and marched quickly towards Dog Shot and Shanyang. When Liu Xiujun's vanguard passed through Xiuwu County, they encountered a group of soldiers and horses of the Youlai Army.

The vanguard of Liu Xiu's army, headed by Geng Yi and supplemented by Jing Dan, has a strength of 3,000 troops, and it is all Youzhou Assault Cavalry, and there are more than 10,000 people in the You Lai army encountered, all of whom are infantry. The two sides engaged in a confrontation in Xiuwu County.

In this battle, Geng Yi and Jing Dan led 3,000 cavalry, took the lead in the charge, and launched a cavalry charge towards the enemy's phalanx. This battle was fought like a textbook.

The 3,000 cavalry commanded by Geng Yi and Jing Dan seemed to have turned into an extremely sharp knife on the battlefield, and the 10,000-strong You Lai army was like a piece of fat to be slaughtered.

Sharp knives pierced the fat, and the cavalry trampled the infantry and passed through the formation. Only one round of cavalry charges scattered the 10,000-strong phalanx of the Youlai army, and then, it was a one-sided slaughter of the infantry by the cavalry.

The Youlai army was defeated, more than 10,000 soldiers, and less than 1,000 escaped alive, and the remnants ran back to Shanyang in a hurry to join the main force of the Youlai army. The remnants of the frightened Youlai army described the Han army as if they had descended from heaven. The main force of the Han army has not yet come, and the You Lai army has already lost a lot of morale. When Geng Yi and Jing Dan led the vanguard army to approach Shanyang and the dog shooting, as Liu Xiu expected, the You Lai army did not carry the Qingli army at all

The meaning of hand fighting, and the route they chose to retreat was exactly the same as Liu Xiu expected, fleeing north.

It's just that what Liu Xiu didn't expect was that You Laijun's speed of escape was too fast, and it was even faster than Xie Gongjun, who robbed and killed them halfway.

Before Xie Gongjun arrived at the pre-determined blocking location, he heard that You Laijun had run over and was still fleeing to the north, and it seemed that he was about to flee to the area of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi County, which is the northernmost county of Hanoi County, shows how much You Laijun has been frightened by Liu Xiujun.

Xie Bow, who heard the news, was stupid, the speed of this You Laijun running away was too fast, and his own side was hurrying and hurrying, but he couldn't catch up with the speed of their running.

After careful inquiring to the spies who reported the news, he learned that You Laijun was scared away by Liu Xiu's 3,000 vanguard army.

Xie Gong was almost angry after hearing this, there were more than 100,000 people in the Youlai army, and they were so frightened by 3,000 people that they fled, the thief army is the thief army, it seems that there are many people, but they are all rabble, completely vulnerable.

Liu Xiu's goal was the nest of the Qingli Army and the You Lai Army, but the credit could not be taken by Liu Xiu alone, so Xie Gong decided that the whole army would go north and attack Lin Xu, intending to annihilate the You Lai Army in one fell swoop.

Inuchi and Shanyang were originally the base camps of the Qingcalf Army and the Youlai Army, and in their heyday, hundreds of thousands of rebels gathered in this projectile land.

And now, You Lai's army ran away, Sun Li's army was completely annihilated in Wei County, Sun Deng's army stayed in the Huaicheng area to look, dog shooting and Shanyang, and only Sun Mao's remnants of 50,000 troops were left.

When Liu Xiu led his army to the dog shooting, there were serious divisions within Sun Mao's army, some people advocated war, some people advocated escape, and some people advocated surrender.

Within the Qingli Army, there was no unanimous opinion on whether to withdraw or surrender, and Liu Xiujun's offensive had already begun.

Inu Shot is not a city, just a small town, there is no city wall on the periphery, only a two-meter-high earthen wall, as for rolling wood, stone, stone thrower, crossbow machine and other city defense weapons, there are none of them.

With this level of city defense, how can it withstand the army commanded by Liu Xiu himself?

The person who commanded the Han army to attack the city on the spot was not Liu Xiu, but Deng Yu. Deng Yu divided the Han army into three routes, attacking from the north, east and south of the dog shooting. The siege of the city is not besieged to death, but the siege of the city is attacked on three sides. The purpose of leaving one side and not fighting, this is called opening the net, and its purpose is to dissipate the fighting spirit of the defenders, deliberately leaving a way for the defenders to retreat, so that the defenders can see the hope of survival, and the fighting spirit of the defenders to resist will not

It could not be more intense.

Under the strong attack of the Han army on three sides, Sun Mao's army had no power to resist at all, and finally had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat from the west of the dog shooting.

Deng Yu opened one side of the dog net, but this side is not so easy to run. When Sun Mao and his subordinates escaped from the dog shooting, they encountered the Han cavalry who had been waiting for a long time and were ready to go.

The two cavalry armies, Geng Yi and Jing Dan, rushed in from the two wings of Sun Mao's department and caused a big mess in Sun Mao's department. Sun Maobu didn't dare to fight, and people only had one thought left, which was to run.

But how can the two legs of the infantry outrun the four legs of the cavalry?

Geng Yi and Jing Dan led the cavalry, chasing Sun Maojun's ass and killing them, and the soldiers of the Qingli Army ran all the way and died all the way, and even Sun Mao's back was hit by two crossbow arrows.

Sun Mao lay on the war horse, took the remnants of the soldiers, and ran out of more than ten miles in one breath, to make sure that the Han army did not continue to chase and kill, so he reluctantly stopped the war horse, and then counted the number of soldiers under his command, and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The original 50,000 soldiers are now less than 5,000, and even the remaining less than 5,000 people have lost their armor, their heads are scattered, and their blood stains are all over their bodies, and their condition is unbearable.

Sun Mao, who was sitting on the horse, felt the world spin for a while, and he fell sideways from the horse. Fortunately, the surrounding generals and entourages were quick and caught Sun Mao in time and didn't let him fall to the ground.

Sun Mao's eyes were scarlet, and he said in a trembling voice: "The revenge of killing my brother, more than 200,000 brothers, my Sun Mao and Liu Xiu, are incompatible......" Before he finished speaking, he spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Suffering two arrow wounds, coupled with anxiety and fire, Sun Mao couldn't support it anymore, and he couldn't afford to get sick. He never recovered from this disease, and it didn't take long for him to die.

After Sun Mao's death, his younger brother Sun Deng naturally became the leader of the Qingcalf Army.

Under Sun Deng's command, there are more than 100,000 troops, and he can enter the dog shooting before the Han army arrives.

But he chose to stop, which has to make people suspect that Sun Deng would not save Sun Mao because he wanted to become the leader of the Qingcalf Army.

A person's blunt sensitivity is also one of the important factors in whether he can achieve success. The so-called blunt force is literally dull force, and the deeper understanding is a person's ability to resist blows.

No one can succeed all at once, and there will inevitably be ups and downs in life.

Sun Mao is obviously inferior to Liu Xiu in terms of blunt sensibility. After only experiencing this fiasco, he collapsed, became ill, and finally died.

And Liu Xiu's blunt sensitivity is undoubtedly extremely strong.

When the army rebelled, the second brother and second sister were killed, but he carried it; The situation improved, but the eldest brother was suddenly killed, and he himself was also under house arrest by Liu Xuan, and he lost everything, but he resisted.

finally left Liu Xuan and went to Hebei, but a Wang Lang appeared in Hebei to claim the emperor, and rewarded his head with 100,000 food, forcing him to be like a rat crossing the street, almost starved to death, but he still resisted.

Liu Xiu's success is by no means accidental, he has too many excellent qualities, and these are the basis for his success.

At the same time that Liu Xiu led the army to break the dog shooting, Wu Han led five thousand Youzhou cavalry in Yecheng, Wei County, and arrived outside Yecheng without knowing it.

Seeing that so many cavalry suddenly came to Yecheng, the soldiers defending the city didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly closed the city gate and pulled up the drawbridge, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Wu Han walked out of his camp, came to the city gate single-handedly, raised his head and shouted at the defenders at the head of the city: "I am Wu Han Wu Ziyan, let Chen Taishou go out of the city and talk to me!" ”

The soldiers defending the city are all stunned, Wu Han? Didn't Wu Han follow King Xiao to Hanoi to quell the rebellion? Why did you suddenly return to Yecheng?

Thinking that there was an urgent military situation on the front line, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they asked Wu Han to wait outside the city for a while, and the people ran into the city to report to Taishou Chen Kangyu.

Hearing the news of Wu Han's sudden return to Yecheng, Chen Kang was also startled, hurriedly left the Taishou Mansion, and hurried over.

When he came to the city gate, he saw that the gate was closed, so he gave orders to open the gate. As the city gate opened, Chen Kang rode his horse and ran out, and when he arrived at Wu Han outside the city, he stopped his horse and said to Wu Han: "Why did General Wu suddenly return to Yecheng, but what happened ahead?" ”
