Chapter 968: Han Jun thinks about retreating

The Northern First Army abandoned the high wolf, which was unexpected by the Han general Feng Ting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking about it carefully, Feng Ting's trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements actually has a certain degree of feasibility, because he calculated that Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan are brothers to each other, and Zhao Hongrun will definitely send troops to rescue when he learns that Gao Wolf has been attacked, regardless of whether this Wei Gongzirun's wisdom guesses that this matter is fraudulent.

Therefore, Feng Ting's move is actually a bit of a conspiracy.

But unfortunately, Zhou Yu, the general of the Northern First Army, was a step ahead, and he easily smashed Feng Ting's intention with the trick of actively abandoning the high wolf, which Feng Ying did not expect.

In the Northern First Army, there are people with superior wisdom, this is the only answer Feng Ying can think of.

On February 7, the 21st year of Hongde, the Han general Jin Huang, who did not dare to divide his troops to garrison Gao Wolf, finally led 40,000 or 50,000 Han troops to withdraw to Tianmen Pass.

It is undeniable that this General Jin Huang was in a very bad mood, because this time he led the army back and forth for more than 100 miles, but he did not gain the slightest, except for setting fire to the dispensable high wolf camp of the Northern First Army.

Therefore, when Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying gathered together again to discuss, Jin Di only drank in a muffled voice and did not say a word.

In contrast, Storm Kite's mood was also very bad, because he also understood that they had lost the last chance to turn the tables when they closed the Han Army.

As for Feng Ting, it was purely because of embarrassment and he was embarrassed to speak.

After all, two days ago, he swore that this plan would be successful, but in the end, it only made Jin Huang and Storm Kite Bai run away, and they delayed the situation for two days in vain. You must know that in the case of facing the front and rear attacks of the Northern Second Army and the Suwang Army, for Tianmen Pass, every day is precious.

I don't know how long it took, the storm kite took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "I guess, it's almost the day when the Wei army will use troops against my Tianmen...... I have decided to withdraw my troops and abandon the Heavenly Gate Pass, and if you two have any objections, please raise them as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Jin Di and Feng Ying glanced at each other and said nothing.

Because they both understand that sticking to the Gate of Heaven is only a dead end.

It is undeniable that there are still 60,000 or 70,000 troops in Tianmen Pass and Gaogao, and more than 30,000 of them are cavalry, plus the granary of Gaodu still has enough grain and grass.

But the question is what about after a month or two?

You must know that Qinyang, outside the Tianmen Pass, is stationed with the 50,000 Northern Second Army of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and in the territory of Shangdang, Wei Gongzirun can probably also send more than 50,000 troops to attack Gaodu, and the two Wei armies have a total of 100,000 troops, and they are flanking Tianmen Pass before and after.

Even if Tianmen Pass can hold on for a month or two, if nothing happens, after a month or two, this pass is destined to be captured by the Wei army.

Therefore, there is no point in holding on to the ground at all, once the Northern Second Army and the Suwang Army begin to attack Tianmen Pass and Gaodu, the tens of thousands of Han troops in Tianmen Pass here have almost no way to survive.

In such a situation, abandonment and withdrawal of troops is the only way to preserve troops.

But where to retreat?

When Storm Kite asked this question, Jin Di and Feng Ying subconsciously glanced up at Storm Kite, as if to say silently: This kind of thing still needs to be asked?

But thinking about it carefully, Jin Huang and Feng Ying suddenly felt that this issue of the storm kite was very critical.

You must know that Hyun City and Eldest Son City have been occupied by Wei Gongzirun's Su Wang Army, although I heard that there seem to be reinforcements from Handan County in South Korea in the vicinity of Hyun City, but whether they can smoothly join it, to be honest, Storm Kite and others are not sure.

After all, Su Wangjun made it clear that he would try to intercept it, there is no doubt about it.

"What are your plans?" Feng Ying asked Storm Kite.

Hearing this, the storm kite pondered for a moment, raised two fingers, and said, "I have two retreat routes in mind. First, let's go out of the pass and go south, compared to Wei Gongzirun's army, the northern second army of King Liang of Wei is relatively weak, let's move with our nest, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses went straight to Shanyang. If you are lucky, you may be able to capture Shanyang, and if you are unlucky, you will cover the retreat of Gong Zhongpeng and Tian Ling at Mengmen Pass and retreat to the Handan battlefield. ”

Jin Di pondered for a moment after hearing this, frowned and said, "The feasibility of this route...... It's not low, but in this way, Shangdang County will completely fall into the hands of Wei Gongzirun. ”

Hearing this, the violent kite sneered, and said as if mocking and self-deprecating: "Could it be that Shangdang County is in your hands right now?" ”

"......" Jin Huang was speechless.

On the side, Feng Ying asked in a deep voice, "What about the second route?" ”

I saw that the violent kite licked his lips, and said in a low voice: "After leaving thousands of soldiers to break off, resist the Northern Second Army in Qinyang, our whole army will go to Hyun City, meet with the reinforcements in the place, and fight with Wei Gongzirun again...... If you win, you will take back Hyun's City and Eldest Son City, and if you are defeated...... Then the only way to do this is to retreat to the kettle. ”

Hearing this, Jin Di and Feng Ying both thought intently.

In their opinion, in fact, the two retreat routes proposed by the storm kite are not good routes. Of course, with the current situation at Tianmen Pass, this is already the best choice.

In comparison, it is actually the first retreat route that is more feasible.

Because Wei Gongzirun's Su Wangjun knows very well what kind of situation their Tianmen Pass Han army is at present, they may be wary of their move to break through to the north, but the Wei North Second Army in Qinyang does not know the situation at Tianmen Pass, if their Tianmen Pass Han army is out of the nest, in the case of not knowing the truth, most of them will choose to retreat, take a look, and will not immediately pursue the Tianmen Pass Han army that withdrew from the south side of Taihang Mountain, which gave the latter valuable time.

It's just that in this way, it's like giving up the entire Shangdang County to Wei Gongzirun's army, and it's not easy to explain it to King Han in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that Feng Ying is very hesitant in his heart, he is more inclined to break through to the north, join up with the reinforcements of Hyun City, and then attack Hyun City.

It's just that when he thought that the terrible horse heavy cavalry was in Hyun City, even Feng Ying was a little stunned in his heart.

Huachang, Zhangwu, and Shi Miao, the three generals were all buried in the hands of the same army, and it is very likely that they were killed by ordinary horsemen who rode heavily on the horses, can you believe it?

"I agree to evacuate south." Jin Di, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this moment: "The Hyun Clan City is stationed in Wei Gongzirun's merchant water horse cavalry army, even if our army has tens of thousands of cavalry, it is difficult to guarantee that we will be able to recapture Hyun Clan City. …… Send someone to inform the reinforcements in the area of Hyun City, and tell them to withdraw to Huguan, let's evacuate from (Taihang) Shannan, just like the general said, if you are lucky, you may still have the opportunity to sneak attack the Shanyang Army, the Nanyan Army, and the Wei Wu Army on the side of Hedong County, they may not be able to guess the movement of our army. ”

Hearing this, the storm kite turned its head to look at Feng Ting.

Feng Ying was a little hesitant at first, after all, he was the Shangdang guard, and now that the Shangdang County was lost, he could not escape the blame, but when he saw the eyes of the storm kite, he already had an idea in his heart: With the storm kite, the commander-in-chief of the armies, what is his turn to guard the party? If this battle is lost, the storm kite will definitely be the first to be questioned.

"Then do what the Admiral says." Feng Ying nodded and said.

As a result, on that day, the three Korean generals had already determined the route of withdrawal - the troops went out of Tianmen Pass, along the south side of Taihang Mountain, and evacuated to Handan County, South Korea.

After deciding on this matter, the Han army at Tianmen Pass began to act, and they distributed the grain from the granary of Gaodu to the soldiers under their command, preparing to let the soldiers bring enough grain and grass for ten days, after all, once the soldiers left Tianmen Pass, their retreat route was actually in the territory of Hedong County of Wei State, which meant that they could hardly get any grain and grass supplies.

As for the extra food in the Gaodu City, the storm kite was ready to burn it when the troops were withdrawn, although it was a pity, but it was impossible to let the grain fall into the hands of the Wei army.

And when the Han army at Tianmen Pass was quietly preparing for the withdrawal of troops, the Su Wang army of Changzi City and Hyun City also rushed towards Weiqiu one after another.

For the sake of prudence, Zhao Hongrun also transferred 2,000 horses to ride.

In mid-February, Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, Zou Xin and other generals arrived in Weiqiu one after another, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo did not come, after all, these two generals were in charge of the eldest son city and the Hyun clan city.

At the same time, Zhao Hongxuan, who received the information from the crows, also led more than 10,000 Northern First Army through Gao Wolf and came to the Weiqiu area to join his brother Zhao Hongrun - as Zhou Yu guessed, the Han Army really did not dare to divide its troops to garrison Gao Wolf, so that the road of the Northern First Army was extremely smooth.

By the time of February 14, 50,000 troops, including the Northern First Army, had been gathered on Weiqiu's side, and Zhao Hongrun thought that it was almost time to attack Gaodu.

However, there was one thing he felt very strange, he thought that Storm Kite, Jin Di, Feng Ying and others would choose to break through, but he didn't expect that he had waited for several days, and he didn't see any signs of the Han army in Tianmen Pass withdrawing north.

"Could it be that the Han army at Tianmen Pass has decided to defend the pass?"

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled, because in his opinion, if the army under his command wanted to storm Gaodu, Gaodu would definitely be captured.

In this case, the South Korean army on the opposite side should not be blindly optimistic that they can hold Gaodu, after all, they have fought each other for so long, so they will not be unclear about each other's strength.

And once Gaodu is captured, Tianmen Pass will definitely be breached, so Zhao Hongrun really can't figure it out, how can the storm kite and other Han generals not choose to break through.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was puzzled, Zhou Yu, a general of the Northern First Army, put forward a hypothesis on the side: "Will it be ...... The South Korean army is preparing to evacuate to Shannan? ”

"Shannan?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned, then bared his teeth and took a breath, raised his right hand and pointed again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, there is only this explanation...... It's not good, the Northern Second Army may not know the situation in the area of Tianmen Pass, if the Korean army comes out of the nest and puts on a posture of wanting to attack Qinyang, the Northern Second Army is likely to be deceived by the Korean army. ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun's expression tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, the whole army will listen to the order and immediately send troops to Gaodu!" ”

"Yes!"

Including Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan and his general Zhou Yu, everyone in the tent hugged their fists and received their lives.

About half an hour later, 50,000 Wei troops in the Weiqiu area also moved along the Tangu on the east side of the calf mountain, and went straight to the Gaodu Basin.
