Chapter 51: The Real First Battle (3)
Causeway Gorge is not a direct, single canyon. There are also many small forks along the main road of the canyon. Ambushing a force of a few hundred men in such terrain is actually very easy. The Bujiajun, who had lived in the Jianghan Plain for a long time, obviously lacked understanding of the terrain here. In addition, there is time for this tight spell to be put on the head, and in the end it is inevitable to be ambushed.
"Brother, how did you and Guowei intercept each other's front team? The younger brother led 200 men to intercept the opponent's rear team at the valley mouth, and the fight was very fierce. One hundred and three people were killed and more than fifty were seriously wounded. It's disabled. But fortunately, none of these Wu dogs ran away. ”
"Pretty much, we didn't have an easy time in the back."
It can be said that this is the difference between the national army and the private army of the family. If the government forces of the two countries were fighting, the side with the first casualty rate to reach 30% would have collapsed and fled, but this time both sides were private soldiers of various families fighting together, and the head of the family or the main general would not retreat, no matter how high the casualty rate was, the soldiers below would not retreat. The result was extremely disastrous.
"Taishou, Yong has already counted all of them just now, and Wu Gou's corpses have a total of one thousand and two, and there should be no leaks. The unwounded soldiers of our army, including us, are only one hundred and fifteen in all. ”
"Uncle Yong has worked hard. Hey, if General Hou is here at this time, we can send a reinforcement army over earlier, and we can achieve greater results. ”
In fact, as Guan Yi expected, he sent Chen Shou to Yong'an to ask Yan Yu for help, Yan Yu really played Tai Chi with him, not only that, Yan Yu also suppressed Badong Taishou Luo Xian, and did not let Luo Xian send Badong County soldiers to Fuling to support. As of today, September 22, there is no reinforcement from Yong'an.
"That's it, change it, if we leave immediately now, how long will it take to go to Hanfu County?"
“…… Two and a half days. ”
"It's September 25 when we get there." Guan Yi clapped his hands: "It's done!" This time, I had to take this opportunity to serve these Mengzi blacks in a pot. Paul! ”
"Brother?"
"You are wounded, so don't go this time. I have already sent someone to inform Dingyeol at home to bring someone to pick up the wounded soldiers. Here you organize the wounded to clean up the battlefield and treat the seriously wounded urgently. Well, the soft armor on these Wu dogs is very good, they all snap down, see if you can use it......"
"Brother, it's okay for the younger brother...... Uh, okay. The younger brother took the order. ”
"Order, Yongbo, change, and then we will run. Rush to Hanfu County as soon as possible to copy the back road of the group of Mengzi blacks. I don't want them to retreat into the mountains and knock slowly one by one. ”
"Hahaha, brother is right. It's rare that this group of robbers gathered together this time, how can they do it if they don't take this opportunity to reap all their might. Boys, everyone who is not injured should run quickly! ”
"Huh~~~"
On the other side, on September 26, the Han Dynasty was restored to the city.
"Mr. Bu, I really can't retreat. More than half of the food we brought with us has already been consumed, and if we don't leave, we won't have enough to eat on the way back. ”
"Humph! Go ahead, don't think I'm really stupid. There are more than 2,000 people here, and the food in the camp is indeed less than a thousand stones. If you want to bring more than 2,000 people back to your Xiangjiabao, it is true that this little food is not enough. But will more than 2,000 people return to your Xiangjiabao? As long as there is a retreat, the number of people in this team will be less than half if they can't walk for two days. ”
"Hey, hey, Mr. Bu really knows everything. But Mr. Bu, it's almost October. We, the Menzi Negroes, were generally busy stocking up on food for the winter. If the strong laborers hadn't returned to the stockade at this time......"
"Alright, alright! One day, one more day. If there is no news tomorrow, how about retreating? ”
Walking to his camp, Mr. Bu gave up his arrogant expression just now, put on a humble posture, and deliberately bent his waist, and after adjusting these, he pulled the door cloth and walked in.
"Meet the head of the house."
"Pedometer, how's it going? Are those barbarians still clamoring to go back? ”
"Yes, master."
"There's still no news from the Bu Yi Army?"
"Master of the family, please forgive your subordinates for being presumptuous. They have not come back to the first army yet, and ninety percent of them have already failed. ”
"Humph! How can it be? That's the elite of my step family. Guan Yi's main force should have been attracted here by me! ”
"Master of the family, we have traveled thousands of miles here to attack each other, and the biggest problem is that we are not familiar with geography. Moreover, Xiang Jiabao invited dozens of stockades, and this battle was too big to be kept secret. It is likely that the other party received the news a long time ago and responded in advance. For example, ask Yongan for help......"
"Huh? You mean that the Yong'an Army of the Shu thieves participated. ”
"That's how it should be, my lord. Bu Yijun is a veteran of the Battle of Dongxing, and he is the most cautious. Regardless of whether the sneak attack succeeded or failed, as long as he still had a way, he would definitely send someone to report to the head of the family. Calculate the distance and time, whether it is success or failure, this is the time for us to receive the news. But...... Therefore, his subordinates speculated that the Buyi Army was likely to be wiped out. And if you want to annihilate the 1,000 elites of my Bu family, you have to send troops from the Yongan Corps. ”
"Tsk, I didn't expect Zong Deyan to get out, this Yan Wenping is also a little bold."
"The head of the family, what my subordinates are worried about is not the annihilation of our army. Rather, they are afraid...... If this Yong'an army is directly copied to the back of our army after completely annihilating our infantry army......"
"Huh? Then we won't retreat yet! ”
"Well, my lord, there are only a hundred people with us now. In order to retreat safely, we had to rely on Xiangjiabao's brigade to escort us out of the mountain. Otherwise, with such a big mountain and countless barbarian villages in it, we wouldn't be able to get out without the enemy chasing us. Therefore, the subordinates just made their own assertions, and asked them to go forward and contact other stockades to pack up and retreat tomorrow. ”
"Good, good, you're doing the right thing. We'll leave tomorrow! Wait for the master to return to Xiling, and then take the Mi family caravan of the Shu thief to get angry! ”
……
On the other side, Hanfu County is headed.
"Wushuang, go and contact the various village owners in Bizka, and let their people prepare to go out of the city to fight. The enemy is preparing to retreat. ”
"Hey, third uncle, why can't my nephew see that the enemy is about to retreat."
"Well, look, listen, are there many more people coming and going in the enemy's tents outside the city? Is it much louder? But no matter what they were doing, they didn't cut the wood. This means that they are neither preparing a fire for cooking, nor building siege equipment. So what else can you do but pack up and prepare to retreat? ”
"Oh. I see. ”
"It's okay to read more military books, don't run to the girls in the barbarian village all day long. These chickens and dogs are just tools for you young people to practice. If these guys can't handle it, how can they go to Hanzhong to face the elite of the pseudo-Wei in the future? ”
The next day, the twenty-seventh. The entire Menzihei camp was full of people and the order was chaotic.
There is no way, this team is pieced together by dozens of barbarian villages. When they took the grain of the Bu family and came out to rob it, everyone's interest was still relatively high. But after sitting under the city for so many days, the morale is long gone. When it comes to retreating, then everyone is in chaos: these barbarian villages have a lot of contradictions with each other, and no one wants to stay behind - what if the Bizka people in Hanfu County are killed? If the strength of the village is lost too much, the independent status of the village cannot be guaranteed in this poor mountain and bad water.
Therefore, when the retreat order was given, the entire Mengzi Black Coalition Army suddenly dispersed!
How could Guan Suo, who is old in the ranks, let go of such an opportunity. He was neatly draped all over his body, with the same lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, and a sharp Qinglong Yanyue knife pointing forward: The whole army, assault!
