"The crime will lose the soldiers, and please punish the king."

"Hey, the Shu thieves are strong and strong, and they occupy all the geographical advantages, what is the crime of the general."

On October 23, Wang, who had received orders from Du Pre and Sima Yan in succession, organized part of his forces to launch a tentative attack on the Han army at Pubanjin on the other side of the Yellow River.

In this place of Pubanjin, Guan Yi led an army of 150,000 to enter at first, and then Zhang Yi led an army of 20,000 to enter. Later, although Guan Yi took 80,000 troops with him in the early stage, 30,000 of the remaining 70,000 troops had quietly moved north. But when the king sent his army to attack, there were still 60,000 horses. It was far more numerous than all the king's army.

Du Yu and Sima Yan were far away from Pubanjin and didn't know the situation here, but Wang confronted each other across the river here. Therefore, although he doesn't know how many soldiers and horses the other party has, he knows that the other party has a lot of people. Therefore, although this attack was forced by the order of the upper peak, the king only threw in 5,000 soldiers and horses.

As a result, the 5,000 people did not encounter any difficulties when crossing the river, and they were instantly surrounded and annihilated by the other side when they crossed the river and landed on the shore. If Pang Ding, who led the troops, hadn't been instructed by the king in advance, and slowly marched at the end along the way, he couldn't say that the Pang family would have lost another general.

"Envoy, how many soldiers and horses does this Shu thief have? There are 70,000 or 80,000 on the side of Bingzhou, and it is said that there are 350,000 on the Tongguan side. I heard that the other party still has a unit on the side of Gohara County...... In this way, I am afraid that there will be no less than 200,000! ”

"Yes, the court's previous calculations were wrong. The invasion of the Shu thieves used at least more than 200,000 troops. ”

"In this way, the defense of the Shu thief is already extremely empty. Hate that Wu dog! It's been more than five months since the war started, why haven't you heard the news of Wu Gou's army until now? ”

"Huh." Very contemptuously, he squeezed out a wry smile: "General Pang, you said it yourself, that's Wu Gou." If I don't throw a few bones out, how can Wu Gou move? ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that the court is going to use Shouchun as bait to attract Wu Gou to send troops to Yizhou."

"Shouchun?" Pang Ding's eyes were a little fire-breathing when he heard the news, but it was only for a moment. After that, he quickly laughed: "It's okay, as long as I get through this crisis, Shouchun can't get it back at any time if he wants to." ”

Regarding the combat effectiveness of Soochow, well, both the Han and Jin Dynasties, whether high-level or ordinary generals, everyone's perception is actually the same.

After the two talked about this issue for a while, Pang Ding saw that there was no soldier behind him, so he continued: "Envoy, in this battle, our army has lost at least three thousand people, and the number of Shu thieves on the other side is far superior to our army. The last general felt that the envoy should ask the imperial court for reinforcements. ”

"Heh~~~ At this point, I think differently from General Pang."

"Oh? Please also ask you to solve Pang Ding's doubts. ”

"If the Shu thieves really have an absolute advantage in strength, they should completely give up Pubanjin, let our army completely land and go deep into Feng Yi County before encircling it. In this way, we can wipe out all of us. But this time General Pang was tempted, and the Shu thief's reaction was very violent. This so-called external strength and middle cadre are also. In the hands of the enemy general on the opposite side, it is estimated that there will not be too many soldiers, or he has a lot of soldiers in his hands now, but the strength will be reduced in the future. Therefore, the enemy dared to let us ashore in order to inflict some damage on us. However, after all, it did not have an absolute advantage in its forces, so it did not dare to let our army go too deep to avoid the situation getting out of control...... If this official expects it to be correct, the troops on the other side of the strait will indeed be no less than 50,000 at this time, but they will continue to decrease soon. If we attack the next time, the other side may start attacking when we cross the river, that is, we will not seek to kill or inflict casualties at all, but only to prevent our army from crossing the river. ”

“…… I see. Then, envoy, we should apply to the imperial court for reinforcements. In this way, when the enemy soldiers are reduced, our army can storm and cross the river again. At that time, if the Shu thief Feng Yijun was captured by me, why didn't he hurry back to the army to rescue? ”

"Hey, this, although this official thinks so. But when the current Shu thief in Pubanjin will decline, the official doesn't know. If you report it like this, Luoyang will not give reinforcements. What's more, after the fall of Taiyuan County, the country has lost the lead in the war. I can't say it, we won't get a single reinforcement, not to mention, even our own troops here will be cut off partly! ”

"How so?" Hearing this, Pang Ding jumped up suddenly: "We originally had 50,000 people here, but then 5,000 were taken away, and with today's losses, the strength has fallen to about 40,000." Still pumping? Didn't the King of Taiyuan take the 20,000 troops that had been drawn out to the north to support the young master some time ago? ”

"That's not enough. Moreover, if what I expected is not bad, the Shu thief's way in Wuyuan County should also move. ”

…….

October 25, Gohara-gun. At this time, it is the season of autumn high horse fattening. The climate is cool and pleasant, and the horses have accumulated a lot of fat after spring and summer storage. And as late autumn draws to a close, temperatures drop, rainfall decreases, and the grassland ground begins to harden. Everything is a good time for the cavalry to go out in a big way!

"General Qiyu, as of today, the grain hoarded by our army in Wuyuan County has exceeded five million stones. Enough for the whole army for five years! ”

"Hahaha, Zhong Shen (Wuyuan Taishou Emperor Funing) has worked hard. However, these grains are not just for us. Although Zifeng took Taiyuan County, the grain road was not smooth in the end. Therefore, after we advance eastward, we will also build a zipline near Yanmen County to support Zifeng's consumption from the north. ”

"I see, Xia Guan understood. The lower official immediately ordered someone to revise the budget and allocate a part of it to Da Sima's side for backup. ”

"Well, it's been a lot of work. Speaking of the grain road problem in Yanmen County, Zhongyuan, how is the contact with the Tuoba Department? ”

"Returning to the general, in recent months, our army has been in constant contact with the Tuoba Department. Tuoba Liwei, the leader of the Tuoba Ministry, has made it clear that he is willing to provide protection for the grain routes of our Great Han. It's just that they still have Yuwen Xianbei behind them, so they can't provide cavalry to directly follow us to fight south. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as the grain is stable." Waving his hand casually, Jiang Wei stood up very arrogantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the former general stormed Tongguan, this big battle that decided the life and death of the two countries has been going on for more than five months. In the past five months, the cries of the soldiers below for war have become louder and louder. With the character of this general, it is long overdue to send troops. However, Wuyuan County is too far away from Chang'an, and the area we have to cross is too long...... Once activated, this will not work without stockpiling enough food in advance. And in the summer, the grasslands are rainy and muddy along the way...... That's why we've been holding on until now. However, although we were the last to send troops, we were convinced that we would be able to achieve extremely brilliant results in this great battle. Your official titles will definitely be greatly improved because of this battle! Now, the general ordered the whole army to set off tomorrow, and from then on directly to the east, across Yunzhong and Yanmen, and directly to Gaoliu City in Youzhou Daijun of the Jin Kingdom! In this battle, my Han will definitely be able to sweep away the Jin rebellion and unify the Kanto! ”

"Whoa! The Great Han is mighty! The big man will win! ”

……

"Chen Youzhou Assassin History, Pingbei General Meng Guan reported to His Majesty, on October 25, Jiang Bo, the puppet general of Shu thieves, sent troops to the east in Wuyuan County. Along the way, except that there was no obstacle from the alien races along the way, all kinds of reserves were sent to help them carry military rations and hay. After my investigation by Cao Cao, there are no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shu on this road, and more than eighty percent of the cavalry...... What its soldiers refer to should be in Dai County. On the day of the minister's report, he had personally led the troops north to Dai County...... Jiang Boyo, a veteran general for many years. The appearance of the army under his command today is far better than in the past. There are 60,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the minister, and the proportion of new soldiers is more than eighty...... The danger of this battle goes without saying. However, the ministers are chongling, and they are entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, and only by doing their best to deal with them can they repay His Majesty's kindness in case of emergency! I only hope that my ancestors and ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty will protect me and keep the enemy outside the Great Wall! ”
