The next day, Mi Jiang set off for Shangshui, met Shen Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Zhuwei army on the battlefield of Shangshui, and told the latter of her agreement with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, which made the latter smile bitterly in surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he was "victorious" - under the personal persuasion of their princess Su, as the commander of the Shangshui battlefield, he had already confirmed the victory without fighting a battle, which made Shen Yu, who wanted to prove himself in this battle, feel a little stunned.

Of course, some personal selfishness is naturally not more important than national interests, so Shen Yu personally wrote a letter that day and sent someone to send it to his teacher, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, in which he told the teacher: The army on the side of Shangshui can be transferred to the battlefield of Song County to carry out support operations.

Two days later, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, who was still training the Northern First Army on the outskirts of Daliang City, received a letter from his protégé Shen Yu, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Mi Jiang lobbied about Xiong Tuo, the king of Yu, and Zhao Yuantong did not comment too much, but it is undeniable that this is a very encouraging thing.

Don't look at the scale of the Shangshui battlefield compared to the other three battlefields, but in Shangshuiyi, there is the most expensive army in the entire Wei State-heavy cavalry Shangshui Youma.

Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, read the battle report and knew that this was an army that had annihilated several times the Korean cavalry of Wei cavalry in Shangdang County and created the most brilliant results of the Wei and Han wars in a single day.

The battlefield he is responsible for can add such a new force, even if it is Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, he feels in high spirits.

But Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, knew in his heart that now was not the time for him to blow the horn of counterattack, although Shen Yu could send twenty or thirty thousand Shangshui reserves and five thousand horse troops to assist him, but the opponent they faced was an army of one million commanded by the famous general Shouling Jun Jingshe of the Chu State.

You must endure the winter.

Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong reminded himself in his heart.

I have to say that this prince has been under extremely great pressure recently, because with his "acquiescence", Shaohu, the acting commander and general on the battlefield of Song County, is retreating from the territory step by step.

In the eyes of Zhao Yuanzuo, Zhao Hongrun, Sima An and other discerning people who are good at military strategy, this is an obvious plan to lure the enemy, intended to lengthen the supply and transportation lines of the Chu army, after all, the cold winter is coming, and the million-strong army of Shouling Junjingshe has not been able to occupy an absolute dominant position at least before the onset of winter - such as conquering the royal capital of the Wei people, then, the closer this million-strong army is to the core of the Wei State and the farther away from the Chu State itself, the more dangerous this army is.

After all, when the cold winter comes, the supply of grain and grass for this million-strong army will become the most serious problem for Shouling Junjingshe to attack Wei, which is even more severe than the obstruction of the Wei army.

And once the grain and grass transportation of the Chu army can't keep up, then, not to mention the millions of Chu troops, even if they are millions, I am afraid they will be buried in the land of Wei because of lack of food.

But having said that, it can be seen that the strategic intentions of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, are a small part of the Wei State after all, and a large part of the Wei people, due to the "erosive war situation" in the Song battlefield, have appeared to a corresponding degree of panic, which has led to a large-scale northward flight of the Wei people in the east and southeast of the Wei State, including some wealthy nobles, selling their family property at a low price, and fleeing to Daliang with their wealth, so that in just one or two months, the number of people inside and outside the city of Daliang has increased dramatically by more than 300,000 people, whether it is the residence or the public security situation, there are problems, made the court scramble for a while.

It is also thanks to the commander of the Song battlefield that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, is the most trusted brother of Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, if he were replaced by anyone else, he may have been dismissed long ago, after all, this strategy has caused panic in the country.

Compared with the defeat after defeat on the battlefield of Songdi, the battlefield of Hanoi, which was in charge of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, became more and more severe.

As Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, judged, although at first Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was able to block the powerful Korean army by relying on the low wall defense that he Zhao Hongrun had built on the Wei-Han border, when the Korean army found a way to break the low wall and became more and more adaptable to positional warfare, the balance of victory in the Hanoi battlefield inevitably gradually tilted in favor of the Korean army.

In mid-October, the Qiguan Wei army ushered in its final moments.

"Li Mao, let's go."

When he learned that the Han army was about to launch a new round of attack on Qi Pass, Zheng Sui, the Wei general guarding Qi Pass, said to his companions.

Zheng Sui and Li Mao, who are not only the Zongwei of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, but also the generals of the Shanyang Army, when the Korean army moved to the battlefield of 100 miles, the two of them led the 5,000 Shanyang troops originally stationed in Qiguan and Qi County, nailed to Qiguan, so that the Han army had to leave heavy troops to attack Qiguan, which in disguised form shared the pressure of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and dragged the momentum of the Korean army's large-scale attack on Hanoi County.

If it weren't for this, it might have been the defense of the 100-mile low wall that had already been broken by the South Korean army.

However, this is already the limit, under the leadership of Zheng Sui and Li Mao, the five thousand Shanyang troops have fought fiercely so far, and only five or six hundred wounded Shanyang soldiers are left to defend the pass.

Even though they were the two Han generals who were responsible for attacking Qiguan, Dai Jun Shou Ju Xin and Yanmen Shou Li Mu, they also admired the tenacity of this Wei army.

"Let's go? Don't you think it's too late to talk about leaving now? ”

Standing on the Qiguan Pass with Zheng Sui, Li Mao looked at the Han military camp on the north side of Qiguan and on the other side of Qishui, and bowed to the two generals of the Han Dynasty guarding the drama (Xin) and Han and Yanmen guarding Li (Mu).

After nearly two months of fighting, Zheng Sui and Li Mao also figured out the strength of their opponents, such as Daijun Shouju Xin, who was also a former Taiyuan Shoulian Han general, not only outstanding in personal martial arts, but also in command and operation, several times saw through the sneak attacks of Zheng Sui and Li Mao, so that the two failed to sneak attack, but lost their troops.

So much so that in the end, he could only honestly defend Qi Pass.

As for the Yanmen cavalry led by the Han general Li Mu, Zheng Sui and Li Mao had not dealt with each other much for the time being, but they knew that most of the scouts they sent to inquire about the news outside the customs were killed by the Yanmen cavalry under Li Mu's command during patrols - it was a cavalry that was very good at using bows and crossbows on war horses.

I have to say that although Zheng Sui and Li Mao did not despise the Yanmen cavalry of Han General Li Mu, in fact, they still underestimated the latter.

The Yanmen cavalry under the command of Li Mu is a Korean cavalry that is very good at mobile warfare, and they can attack with bows and crossbows at a long distance and fight with sabers at close range in horse battles with foreign cavalry such as the Xiongnu and Linhu.

Of course, the most terrifying thing about the Yanmen cavalry was that they were commanded by a famous Korean general named Li Mu, who was the brain and soul of the entire Yanmen army.

And this attack on Qiguan, because Daijun Shouju Xin didn't want Li Mu to take credit from him, and the terrain around Qiguan was not conducive to the Yanmen cavalry fighting, therefore, Li Mu did not really participate in the attack on Qiguan, but just sent some Yanmen cavalry to control the suburbs around Qiguan.

The reason is very simple, because Wei generals Zheng Sui and Li Mao, as the guards of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, have also read military books and know that blindly defending cannot win victory, so from time to time, they also sneaked out of the customs and attacked the Han army's grain transportation team, which once made the Han army feel very uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, Kang Gong Han Hu, must take Qi Pass, because Qi County is like a nail pierced in the body of the Korean army, so that the Korean army cannot attack Hanoi County without scruples.

"You can retreat from the mountains to the west." Zheng Sui said to Li Mao that although Li Mu's Yanmen cavalry was very terrifying, if he really wanted to escape, Li Mao might not be able to escape from the mountains on the west side.

However, hearing this, Li Mao asked rhetorically: "Then why don't you leave?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mao himself was silent, because Zheng Sui in front of him was seriously injured - a few days ago, when attacking Qiguan, a Han soldier stabbed Zheng Sui's right chest with a sword, and it was a miracle that Zheng Sui survived at that time.

It can be expected that Zheng Sui, who was seriously injured, would definitely not be able to escape from the Qiguan area alive.

After a long time, Li Mao looked at the Han camp outside the city, and said quietly: "Don't you feel lonely when you go to Huangquan alone?" ”

On October 16, the Qi Pass garrisoned by the Shanyang Army was broken by the Han General Daijun Shou Ju Xin, a full 5,000 Shanyang Army, stuck to the pass and died bravely, and the two Zongwei of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, Zheng Sui and Li Mao, led the Shanyang Army to fight to the last moment, and after the pass was breached, they gave up the breakthrough and died heroically.

At the same time, on the battlefield of the plain of hundreds of miles on the border between Wei and Han, the Korean army finally broke through the defense of the Wei army, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, retreated into Ji County.

I have to say that when the defense of the hundred-mile low wall left by Zhao Hongrun was broken through by the Korean army, Hanoi County had almost no defense for the Korean army.

In late October, Linshu was broken by Han Jiang and Beiyan Shouleyi.

When the city was about to be broken, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, wearing heavy armor and holding a war spear, fought bloodily on the head of the city, killing one after another Han soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city.

Even though he was in charge of the offensive Han general Le Yi, he also paid special attention to Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and commented that the latter was worthy of the son of the Wei royal family and the soul of the Shanyang army.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, won the respect of the soldiers of the Korean army and was called the tiger of Shanyang.

Of course, while gaining the admiration of the Korean soldiers, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was also paid special attention to by the Korean generals, often as long as he appeared on the city wall, there were bows and crossbows of the Han soldiers, and some Korean generals with strong personal strength also regarded the beheading of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, as their goal.

With a bang, the city gate was breached, and Zhao Hongjiang, who found that the situation was not right at the head of the city, immediately turned to the city gate, but the Korean soldiers who poured in were like a tide, killing endlessly.

At the critical juncture, Cao Yan, the head of the sect guard, grabbed Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and persuaded loudly: "Your Highness, the city is about to be destroyed, don't stay behind, retreat quickly!" ”

"Fart! Hold it for me! Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, broke free from the pull of the chief of the guard, brandished his war spear and slaughtered towards the city gate again.

Seeing this, Cao Yan immediately made a decision, and joined forces with several guards and guards to restrain Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, tie him up with ropes, take him away forcefully, and forcibly break through.

"For His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Countless soldiers of the Shanyang Army spontaneously stayed behind and killed the oncoming Han soldiers.

On October 19, about 3,000 Shanyang troops and 2,000 Southern Yan troops were killed, and only a few hundred Wei troops forcibly broke through when the city was broken.

Two days later, Ji County was breached, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, retreated to Xiuwu.

On October 29, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who had been defending the military for seven days in front of the more than 200,000 troops led by Han Hu, Kanggong, saw that the city gate was broken by the Han army, so he had to order a retreat and break through.

In this battle, Zhao Qi, the Zongwei of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, saw that he had no time to retreat, so he simply did not retreat, and led dozens of Wei soldiers to defend the city for three hours, and struggled to kill more than 200 Han soldiers and four Korean generals with more than 1,000 generals, and finally died in battle.

A few days later, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, retreated to Huaixian and Shanyang respectively, trying to regain their foothold here.

Up to now, half of Hanoi County of Wei has fallen into the hands of the Han army, even though some Han generals, such as Li Mu, Storm Kite, etc., are strictly ordered to restrain the soldiers under their command, it is still difficult to avoid many Wei civilians, who were robbed of wealth, food, and even killed by the Han army.

In general, the current situation in Wei is gradually moving towards an extremely bad situation.
