Chapter 520: Soaring
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Knowing that Jia Fu had no worries about his life, Liu Xiu was determined and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him. Liu Xiu led 50,000 Han troops and launched a fierce attack on Zhongqiu City, where 20,000 rebel troops were stationed. In this battle, the rebel army did not make too strong resistance,
After less than an hour of fighting with the Han army, the rebels in the city fled through the west gate and went straight to the Fengshan Changgu to the west of Zhongqiu. The long valley in the mountains is the origin of Nagisui, and is located in the western part of Nakagaoka.
The topography of this area is more complicated, the mountains are connected to the mountains, the water is connected to the water, the valleys are next to the valleys, and in the north of the long valley, it is the poor spring valley, and here is the origin of the water.
Seeing the rebel army fleeing in the direction of Fengshan, Liu Xiule was happy, and the generals of the Han army were also happy. Seeing that everyone was smiling, Liu Xiu asked, "What are all the generals laughing at?" ”
Zhang Huai, who was born in the Bronze Horse Army and is now fighting with Liu Xiu, said with a smile: "King, Fengshan is a dead end, and the thief army runs in the direction of Fengshan, this is really a self-defeating road!" ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "When I first arrived, I still know that Fengshan is a dead end, and the Youlai Army, the Big Spear Army, and the Wuman Army who are wandering in Changshan and looting everywhere, will they not know?" ”
Zhang Huai thought about it carefully and felt that this was also the case, there was no reason for the enemy army not to know that Fengshan was a dead end! He looked at Liu Xiu puzzled and asked, "King, this ......?"
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "I know that it is a dead end, and I still have to run there, there is only one explanation, the enemy army has already set up an ambush in Fengshan, and the enemy army stationed in Zhongqiu is just a bait to lure our army to the bait." ”
Zhang Huai suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and said: "King, since the enemy army may set up an ambush in the mountains, our army should abandon chasing the enemy army!" ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said confidently: "It's just a thief army, don't worry. ”
He was never afraid to fight the rebel army, what he was really afraid of was that the thief army would avoid his own edge, not fight him, and run around in Hebei, so that he and his soldiers were exhausted.
If the thieves use such tactics, things will be in trouble.
Liu Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "Long Yuan! ”
"The subordinates are here!" Long Yuan urged him to step forward and salute Liu Xiu.
"Send elite spies to enter Fengshan to investigate, I want to know how many ambushes are hidden in Fengshan!"
"Subordinates obey!" Long Yuan agreed and turned his horse away.
Liu Xiu did not exert all his strength to chase the fleeing rebel army, but led 50,000 soldiers and horses to march slowly in the direction of Fengshan. When Liu Xiu led the army to Fengshan, Long Yuan also happened to find out the results.
Long Yuan quickly came to Liu Xiu's approach, and arched his hand and said: "King, in the long valley of Fengshan, there are indeed ambushes of the enemy army, the number should be about 50,000, and the 20,000 enemy troops who ran into Fengshan before, a total of 70,000 people. ”
Liu Xiu nodded, and said happily: "Hidden in Changgu!" Okay, this time, we'll trap the thief army in Changgu and catch turtles in its urn! ”
Because the speed of Liu Xiu's pursuit was too slow, the 20,000 rebel troops who were used as bait did not run to the depths of Fengshan, and after entering Fengshan, they kept wandering at the mountain pass.
When Liu Xiu led the army into Fengshan, they hurriedly fled to the depths of Fengshan.
Because Liu Xiu had already speculated on the deployment of the enemy army in advance, the actions of the rebel army in Fengshan at this time looked extremely ridiculous in the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army.
After Liu Xiujun entered Fengshan, he didn't pay attention to the 20,000 rebel army at all, but went straight to Changgu.
When he arrived at the mouth of the upper valley, Liu Xiujun did not go deep into it, but immediately set up defenses at the mouth of the upper valley, built fortifications, made horses to be rejected, built earthen walls, and dug trenches. Seeing that Liu Xiujun was actually deployed at the mouth of the valley in Changgu, the rebel army knew that Liu Xiujun had already seen through his own plan, and also knew that he had soldiers and horses hiding in Changgu, and now Liu Xiujun wanted to hide the 50,000 soldiers hidden in Changgu alive
Trapped in the valley.
At this time, the rebel army could not sit still, and the 50,000 rebel army hiding in the ambush in Changgu began to launch a fierce attack on the Han army at the mouth of the valley.
As far as the combat effectiveness of the Youlai Army, the Great Spear Army, and the Goman Army is concerned, in the case of equal numbers, even if they do a head-to-head confrontation, they are not the opponents of the Han army, not to mention that the Han army still has many fortifications to assist?
The Han army stood on the earthen wall, condescending to resist the attack of the rebel army.
This earthen wall, which was only more than one meter high, was now a mountain that the rebels could not overcome. People rushed up and were knocked down, and the rebel soldiers who died in front of the earthen wall were piled up with countless corpses.
After a fierce attack, seeing that the Han army's defenses were too strong and their own casualties were too large, the rebel army had no choice but to retreat to Changgu.
As the rebels withdrew, the Han army immediately cleaned up the battlefield, cleaned up the corpses, and further heightened and reinforced the earthen walls to create more horses and trenches. When the rebel army broke through for the second time, the earthen wall at the mouth of the valley was already two meters high, and the number of horses and trenches was even higher
Immediately suffered from the onslaught of the Han army at the head of the city.
The second breakthrough of the rebel army was still a loss of troops and a return in vain. After the rebel army retreated, the 20,000 rebel troops who had fled into the depths of Fengshan were also killed, but they were still repelled by the Han army.
The 50,000 Han troops led by Liu Xiu stuck the mouth of the Changgu Valley to death, so that the 50,000 rebels who were ambushed in the Changgu could not rush out, and the 20,000 rebels who were used as bait were also trapped in the mountains.
It can't be said that Liu Xiu's choice of this key point was really good, and he deployed defense in one place, but blocked the retreat of two groups of enemy troops, 50,000 Han troops, and trapped 70,000 rebel troops in Fengshan.
Knowing that their plan had failed, and that the 70,000 brothers who had set up an ambush and were trapped in Fengshan by the Han army, the Youlai army, the Great Spear Army, and the Goman Army were all shocked.
The three rebel armies hurried south, intending to relieve the 70,000 brothers from being trapped.
But before they arrived at Fengshan, the main force of the Han army of 150,000 people entered Changshan County.
With the arrival of the main force of the Han army, the Youlai Army, the Great Spear Army, and the Wuman Army did not dare to go south, but the 70,000 brothers could not abandon them, so they had to temporarily station in the area of Zanhuang Mountain.
Liu Xiu led 50,000 Han troops to seal the mouth of Changgu Valley, and the 70,000 rebel army was still difficult to break, and now the 150,000 Han army arrived again, and Liu Xiuhui was united, and the trapped rebel army could not break through.
Under Liu Xiu's instructions, the Han army did not take the initiative to attack at all, as long as the rebel army did not break through, the Han army was stationed in the same place.
The two sides were deadlocked, and for several days, the food on the part of the rebel army had been eaten completely, and even the war horses in the army were killed and wiped clean.
After another two days, the rebel army couldn't stand it anymore and launched another onslaught on Liu Xiujun.
This time, the rebel army broke through with all their might, and the battle was fierce, and the soldiers who rushed in front were killed by arrows in groups and rows, and were stoned to death by rolling logs, and the soldiers behind continued to rush forward as if they didn't see it.
There is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and the advantage of the Han army in terms of geographical advantages is too great, and such a big gap between the two sides is no longer something that the rebel army can make up for with a ruthless force.
After a fierce battle for half a day, with more than half of the rebel army suffering casualties, they could only return in vain and were forced to retreat to the valley.
After this battle was fruitless, the rebel army was no longer able to launch a breakthrough, and the mood of the whole army quickly fell into deep despair and was on the verge of collapse.
After that, there were no more large-scale engagements between the two sides. At the beginning, the rebel army was only sporadic soldiers who secretly came to surrender to the Han army, and later, the rebel army that came to surrender was already a song.
Such a situation had long been expected by Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu did not embarrass the rebels who came to surrender, but only confiscated their armor and weapons.
For those who are willing to stay in the Han army and have good physical fitness, the Han army will take them in, and those who are unwilling to stay, or those who are in poor physical condition, will be given money and food by the Han army and let them go back to their hometowns.
The battle, which took place in Fengshan, lasted ten days, and ended with the surrender of the rebel army as a whole. Of the 70,000 rebels trapped, more than 20,000 were killed in battle, and the rest basically surrendered.
Of the more than 40,000 rebel troops who surrendered, less than 5,000 were left behind by the Han army, and the rest were all sent away by the Han army.
After the Battle of Fengshan, Liu Xiujun continued to go north, went to Zanhuang Mountain, and attacked the main forces of the Youlai Army, the Great Spear Army, and the Wuman Army. The loss of 70,000 men at once was not only a heavy blow to the rebel army, but also a great loss of morale.
Next, the two sides fought again in Changshan, but without exception, whether it was a big battle or a small battle, it ended in the victory of the Han army. The Han army commanded by Liu Xiu marched all the way and won successive battles.
On the other hand, the rebel army really can't beat Liu Xiu, it's not that they don't want to use tactics, they don't want to use strategies, but every time they use tactics, every time they use strategies, they can be recognized by Liu Xiu for the first time.
In terms of the ability to lead troops to fight and figure out the enemy's mind, Liu Xiu is really powerful, even if he is called the god of war of the Han army, it is not an exaggeration.
In fact, the main Han army did not come in much use at all, Liu Xiu only led a front army of 50,000, and formed a crushing trend against the rebel army of more than 200,000.
The You Lai Army, the Big Spear Army, and the Goman Army fought with Liu Xiujun all the way, and retreated all the way, from Changshan County to Zhongshan County.
When he arrived in Zhongshan County, he returned to Liu Xiu's hometown, and the power established by Liu Xiu in Hebei was based on Zhongshan County.
The rebel army was defeated more severely and faster in Zhongshan County, and was beaten by Liu Xiu, and continued to flee all the way north.
Originally, they also planned to ask for help from the Zhending Fifth School Army, but the current Fifth School Army is also unable to protect itself.
Jia Fu, who returned from injury, launched a crazy counterattack against the Fifth School Army, and Liu Xiu sent 50,000 reinforcements to Jia Fu, Jia Fu commanded 100,000 Han troops, and won successive victories in the battle with the Fifth School Army.
The five school armies have suffered heavy losses and heavy casualties, and now, Jia Fu, who is close at hand, has made it difficult for them to deal with it, where is the spare strength to reinforce You Lai, Big Gun, and Wuman?
Without reinforcements from the Fifth School Army, it was not long before the three rebel armies were defeated and withdrew from Zhongshan County and continued to flee north.
At this time, the three rebel armies of Youlai, Dagun, and Wuman had already run out of Jizhou and ran into Zhuo County in Youzhou.
From Changshan County, defeated and fled to Zhongshan County, and then fled from Zhongshan County to Zhuo County, this battle, the rebel army was defeated too badly, the original more than 200,000 people, to the present, there are not even 50,000 people, the whole 200,000 people have been defeated.
From this, it is not difficult to see the tragic defeat of the rebel army, and it is not difficult to see the ferocity of Liu Xiu's command of the army.
In private, Liu Xiu is very easy-going, but when he goes to the battlefield, he can't find the slightest easy-going attitude in Liu Xiu's body, and he doesn't give the enemy any respite from the offensive of the enemy.
The attack is like a storm, and as long as the enemy army does not surrender, it will crush the enemy army to death in one breath.
When facing the Bronze Horse Army, Liu Xiu was in this combat style, beating the Copper Horse Army with his buttocks, and chasing the Copper Horse Army from Yanzhou all the way back to Jizhou. Now that he is facing Youlai, Dagun, and Wuman Army, Liu Xiu still maintains this combat style, chasing the rebel army all the way from Jizhou to Youzhou, which really makes the rebel army breathless.
