Chapter 80: Encirclement and Reinforcement
"Boom! …… Boom! Boom! ”
In the valley on the east side of the dry water river, the flag is like a cloud, the war drums are like thunder, the people and horses are surging like the tide, and there is a dark green flag erected in front of the formation, with tiger and leopard patterns, teeth and teeth, and a big 'Wen' word in the middle, shaking left and right, urging the people and horses to move forward!
There is a general under it, eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, covered with flame armor, wearing a bright moon helmet, holding a nine-curved iron gun, a copper tire iron arm bow on his waist, and a red-eyed blue-maned horse on his crotch, full of murderous aura, with a gloomy temperament between his eyebrows, it is the famous general of Hebei - Wen Chou!
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hebei Shuangjie, although the two are sworn brothers, their personalities are very different, Yan benign like a fire, impatient in trouble, fighting all with brute strength, charging into battle is very sharp, but the commander is a mess, strategist Tian Feng once commented: "Yan benign narrow, brave and aggressive, sooner or later will be a ghost under the knife of others!" ”
Wen Chou is different, he is taciturn, his temperament is as steady as a mountain, he never panics when he encounters major events, and he can also break out some urgency at critical moments to resolve the crisis in front of him, plus he can fight habitually, knows the art of war, but has the style of a general, in addition, he is also a sharpshooter who wears through Yang in a hundred steps!
Yuan Jun was trapped in the dry water river, some people have calculated, the reinforcements will arrive in twenty-five days at the earliest, and it is possible to be slow in two or three months, no one expected that a miracle really happened, and the reinforcements came in a very timely manner, thanks to two people, the first one is naturally Wen Chou!
When the messenger arrived at Jincheng, the two sides were facing each other on the battlefield, and learned that Yuan Shang had been ambushed and urgently needed reinforcements, Wen Chou immediately decided, and used the method of 'gecko tail breaking', leaving 10,000 horses to confuse the other party, and led 60,000 main forces to come to the rescue day and night, and rushed to the rescue non-stop, which appeared on the periphery of the dry water river in the shortest possible time!
As for the second person who needs to be thanked, it is Xiao Yi, the dry water river is surrounded by many barriers, and there are 100,000 heavy soldiers guarding it, not to mention the messenger of Yuan Jun, even a fly will not want to fly out!
The problem is that several messengers really ran out, and the reinforcements arrived in time, if it wasn't for someone deliberately releasing water, this situation would never have happened, as for the reason for the release of water, it is not difficult to guess...... 'Dig a deep pit to catch tigers and leopards, and throw down the bait to catch gold turtles!' ’
"The whole army is attacking, the horse is stepping on the enemy camp, save my robe - kill!"
Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Wen Chou did not delay, after entering the valley, he immediately organized men and horses to attack, trying to open the passage and rescue the besieged Yuan army!
The reinforcements arrived, for Yuan Shang and others in the encirclement, it was tantamount to seeing a big savior, and there was also a hope of survival, they scraped together, reluctantly organized 20,000 remnants, and launched an attack on Taniguchi, wanting to join forces inside and outside, and break out of the siege in one fell swoop!
"Now that the guests are here, let them taste the feast set up by the governor of Pontus!"
Dare to attract the enemy army, Xiao Yi naturally has a complete grasp, more than 20 days of siege, he was not idle, commanded all departments, built three barriers on the periphery of the dry water river, dug four trenches, combined with the cliffs on both sides, formed a perfect defense system, plus heavy defense, it is really unbreakable!
In addition, Xiao Yi set up the big tent of the Chinese army on the east side of the wall, and personally commanded this 'encirclement and reinforcement'......
"Rush forward and break through the enemy camp!"
"Kill--don't retreat, kill the enemy and make meritorious service!"
The swordsman was in front, the archers were behind, the dead soldiers carried the ladder and followed, under the command of Wen Chou, the Yuan army held high the banner, shouted to kill the heavens, and launched a tidal attack on the barrier, wave after wave, endless!
The defenders did not show weakness, under the leadership of Xiao Yi, calmly responded to the battle, mobile defense, made full use of the advantages of the terrain, flying arrows like rain, falling rocks like locusts, wantonly killing and injuring the enemy, like a strong embankment, blocking the wave of attack!
"Wow! …… Wow! Wow! ”
People and horses are like a tide, huge waves are rolling, and every impact stirs up a large number of waves, which also means that countless lives are withered, and war is a murderous business!
"The men and horses are divided into six teams, and they take turns to attack, and those who advance are rewarded, and those who retreat are killed--rush!"
Several attacks were frustrated, Wen Chou also red-eyed, holding a sword, standing in front of the formation, seeing the soldiers who were cowering, he immediately killed them, without mercy!
Under the threat of death, Yuan Jun can only continue to attack, with his own flesh and blood, hit the opponent's strong barriers, the problem is that the terrain is too unfavorable, the valley is narrow, the soldiers can't use it at all, there are stones on the high slopes on both sides, smashing them ghosts crying wolf howl, countless casualties, especially the huge iron thorn rolling wood, with the power of ten thousand jun rushed down, a roll is a large piece of flesh and blood, want to hide nowhere to hide!
As for Yuan Shang's side, the situation was even worse, he finally put together 20,000 remnants, and before he got out of the camp, he fell half of them, and the rest were also shaky, half dead, so what about the strength to go into battle and kill?
"Steamed buns! …… Grab the steamed buns! ”
In the face of these hungry soldiers, the defenders didn't bother to shoot arrows and kill, and directly threw over a few baskets of steamed buns, and the Yuan soldiers immediately fought for each other, killing each other like hungry dogs, and without even touching the other party's barrier, they were killed and injured countless times, and finally had to retreat to the camp and never dare to come out again!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
From early morning until dusk, the Yuan army launched eight attacks, all of which suffered a heavy defeat, as far as the eye can see, the corpses in the valley are piled up, the blood is flowing like a river, the situation is unbearable, and the price is so huge, the Yuan army did not even take a single barrier, the only gain is to fill in a few trenches, with their corpses!
"Pass the order, the whole army retreats, after repairing, fight again tomorrow!"
The casualties of the men and horses were heavy, and Wen Chou could only suspend the attack, three barriers, four trenches, like a huge flesh mill, no matter how many soldiers filled in, what came out was a pile of white bones, and if he continued to fight like this, his 60,000 horses would probably be wiped out!
"Hehe, the fish in the net, also want to escape, wouldn't it disappoint the governor of Pontus...... Come on, pick things up and boost the morale of the enemy! On the barrier, Xiao Yi touched his nose, laughed for a while, and entered the ambush he had set up, even if Wen Chou didn't die, he had to take off a layer of skin!
"Listen to the soldiers of the Yuan army, don't want to be a headless ghost, quickly abandon the blade and surrender, and most of them will spare you from death!"
"The thief has seen Wen Chou clearly, your brother is here, why don't you come up and meet and go to Huangquan together......"
………………………………………………
In the shouting, the soldiers picked out a human head with a long pole, and under the light of the torch, they grinned and did not blink their eyes, it was the famous general of Hebei - Yan Liang!
In the hot summer, in order to prevent the head from rotting, it was specially soaked in medicinal solution, and the blood stains were also cleaned, looking lifelike and easy to recognize!
Showing Yan Liang's head, using brotherly affection, stimulating Wen Chou to fight hard, and killing and injuring the enemy's soldiers and horses to the greatest extent, this method has damaged some of them, but it also proves a famous saying: "The monarch has no morality in governance, and the military has no principle to win!" ”
Using the strategy of 'black under the lamp', he set up an ambush in Kushuichuan, surrounded the 80,000 horses of the Yuan army, and used the method of 'encircling the point to send reinforcements', attracting Wen Chou's 60,000 troops, a series of tactical deceptions, of course, it was a stroke of genius, but Xiao Yi knew in his heart that he also had a big weakness - insufficient troops!
The art of war: 'Ten are to encircle, five are to attack, and three are to ambush the ......', that is to say, if you want to ambush the enemy, you must have more than three times the strength of the army, in order to have a chance of winning, the problem is also here, Xiao Yi's Han, Qiang, and Hu coalition troops are only 100,000 horses, after a series of bloody battles, they are already exhausted, and if they want to swallow the 140,000 horses of Yuan's army, how easy is it to talk about?
For example, Xiao Yi is a cunning little wolf, Yuan Shang is a stupid strong cow, the wolf caught the cow, but the balance of power between the two sides is too great, if you want to win, the little wolf has to buckle his eyes, smash his nose, and kick his little brother...... and other means of damage, all for the sake of eating beef!
"Big brother...... Big brother, I haven't seen you for more than a month, I didn't expect you to die on the battlefield and your body is incomplete...... Whining...... Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, if you don't avenge the murder of your brother, I swear not to be a person! ”
Seeing Yan Liang's head, Wen Chou knelt on the ground, beat his chest with his fists, and cried loudly...... crying, crying heartbreakingly, tears with blood, like a beast that has lost its partner, extremely painful and angry!
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are brothers and fellow villagers, the two have grown up together since childhood, practiced martial arts together, joined the army together, are like siblings, inseparable, that is really a friendship of cutting off their heads for lives, living and dying together, and now the eldest brother is killed by Xiao Yi, and he is heartbroken, even if he gives up his life, he has to take revenge!
"Tear up! …… Brush! ”
Wen Chou's eyes were blood-red, he ripped off his armor, went shirtless, and came to the front of the battle: "The soldiers light torches and prepare for a night battle, if they don't take revenge, this general will never withdraw his troops - kill!" ”
