Chapter 1086: The Battle of Jingxiang XVII
(The shadow of the stomach is an ulcer, today is a relief, these ten days are really not people's days, I'm sorry everyone, start to speed up the progress immediately.) )
Since he had made up his mind to reinforce Jing Xiang and Liu Yi to fight to the death, how could Cao Cao not know the truth of the speed of soldiers? Shuzhong to Xiangyang is down the river, and the speed is much faster, which makes him rush to the battlefield at a critical moment to help Yu Ban repel Xu Huang's attack! This waterway is also his last retreat, and once the battle situation is unfavorable, Cao's army can also retreat to Shuzhong. On the way to reinforcements, Cao Cao did not have the intention of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, but this determination has never been decided, firstly, because he still has a way to retreat after all, and secondly, even if the reinforcements in Shuzhong are added to the Jingxiang place, the battle situation is still beneficial to the Han army, he is not under the command of Xiang Yu and Liu Yi, nor is it a Qin army without fighting spirit.
As a land route connecting Jingxiang in Shu, the Yong'an official Cao army would not relax its vigilance, and it was Li Dian Li Mancheng, the general of Cao Ying's Chinese Wu Shuangquan, who came to reinforce the dry road, and Evil Dian Wei, who was seriously wounded in the first battle of Hanzhong, also came with the army. A bloody battle also began between Li Dian and Gao Shun, who controlled the official road, because the two sides reached the key avenue almost at the same time, and the battle entered the climax from that moment. Li Gao and the others clearly knew what this meant for the overall battle situation, and naturally neither of them would take a step back.
In fact, according to the terrain and the time of departure, if it were not for the Han army to change any army at that time, it would be impossible to reach the avenue before the Cao army, on one side is a horse and a flat river, on the other hand, there are seven bends and eight winding mountain roads rugged, but Gao Shun led the Liaodong Army and the White Tiger Battalion tens of thousands of elites but forced to arrive with the Cao army almost at the same time. In addition to the Han army's outstanding marching ability, we have to mention the importance of military science and technology and logistics support, in Jingxiang for several years, Gao Shun has held this marching road map has been meticulous to the point of measuring it with zhang, and it is also the Han army's far superior to the rest.
Among the generals of Cao Ying, Li Dian and Li Mancheng are famous under the five good generals, and they are not as dazzling as the Eight Tiger Riders of the clan, but whether it is Cao Cao or Xun Yu and other advisers, he is also highly respected. Generally, the tactical tasks assigned to Li Dian can be successfully completed, and such generals will undoubtedly gain the trust of the commander-in-chief.
As a general, Li Dian knew very well what this official road meant to Cao's army, the waterway was indeed safer and faster than the land route in front of Yan, but it also had a lot of weaknesses, and the time it took for hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat from the river road was by no means a few, and once it was close to the enemy, there would be great danger, and even if it retreated safely, there would be a lot of losses. As long as the official road is occupied by him, the Cao army can always keep the road to retreat westward, and if it is not good, it can also retreat from Shuzhong, and when he received the military order, he already faintly felt that the generals of the Han army who could conquer and fight would not give up this vital point.
Therefore, although Gao Shun's early arrival was beyond Li Dian's expectations in time, it did not disrupt his next command, in the previous series of battles, the Han army brought many "surprises" to the Cao army, and over time, the Cao army's ability to resist attacks also rose with the tide! The generals on both sides knew the meaning of this and naturally did not let it go, and when it came to this battle, in addition to the tragedy, there was one word: "chaos!" ”。 Gao Shun and Li Dian are both battlefield veterans, and the familiar marching formation is almost like eating and sleeping, but the key is that although this avenue is spacious for the pedestrian convoy, tens of thousands of troops cannot be lined up in any way, and once the focus of the two sides falls on a certain area, then the result can only be the only one, melee!
If you ask Gao Shun now, what is the thing he regrets most about his pre-war preparations? He will definitely say that he did not bring the ironclad infantry army of the Xuanwu battalion with him, in such a terrain and battle situation is the place where this army can exert its great combat power, but it is a pity that the ironclad army can also play to the fullest in the siege, and Zhao Yun, Jia and Guo will assist Xu Huang and Longxiang's army to attack the city. In such a narrow space of melee, the individual combat ability of the soldiers and the cooperation between the small team of three or five people can play a huge role, and once one of the parties occupies the favorable terrain will play a pivotal role in the future operations, so Gao Shun almost did not hesitate to put the eight hundred traps into the camp, this strong force is not only majestic in the siege, the infantry battle array is also very skilled, and Li Dian does not show weakness in contrast, and the shot is the ace Flying Bear Army!
The two elites of a hundred battles meet in a narrow way, and the shot is naturally a splash of fire, no one here will have the slightest retreat from death, although it is the only death that is difficult through the ages, but in the tragic atmosphere of the battlefield, you don't have time to think too much about the problem, what you can do is to desperately wave the blade in your hand to collect the other party's life! An official road that was nearly two miles long was dyed brown by the blood of the dead and wounded soldiers a moment later, and the blood flowed like a river here, which became an incomparably real portrayal here!
The combat power of the Flying Bear Army and the trapped camp is roughly between the two, even if the latter occupies the advantage of physical strength and weapons, it cannot be reflected at the moment before the battle starts, and when it comes to casualties, the trapped camp is much higher than the other party, that is because of the existence of one of the Cao army, evil comes to Dian Wei! In the melee of such a narrow terrain, Dian Gongyi's courage was brought into full play, and even the strongest trapped camp in the Han army seemed a little powerless in front of him! The Xuantian Twin Halberds waved like a brilliant aura, and after entering the Han army's array, blood splattered.
After coming to this world, Liu Yi knew that the so-called "10,000 enemies" was more of an exaggeration, even if a fierce general like him and Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu faced hundreds of solid foot soldiers, it was difficult to win, but all this must be combined with the battlefield terrain, the battle formation situation and the use of the surrounding conditions! In the bloody battle of Lianshan, Liu Yi cooperated closely with the guards around him to create a miracle of fighting more than 1,000 people with the strength of one person.
Looking at the figure covered in blood like a demon god, he slaughtered the loyal warriors he had painstakingly trained one by one, Gao Shun felt no good, and even had the urge to go down in person immediately to join the battle formation, but the position of the head of the army determined that he couldn't do this! Cutting off the enemy's retreat here is related to the overall situation of the battle of Jingxiang, he wants the victory of the entire battle situation rather than a part, and for this reason he also prevented Pei Yuanshao's attempt to go into battle in person! In the narrow terrain, there is a melee and then encounters the fierce general Dian Wei, whose power is almost no less than that of the Son of Heaven, there is only one method that can be used, the tactics of the sea of people!
In the face of the majestic evil, the courage and tactics of the Han army are worthy of praise, on the one hand, they did not care about life and death to attack Dian Wei, and on the other hand, they also strengthened the attack on the enemy's tiger and leopard cavalry a little away from them! The lethality of the peerless fierce general will not only be reflected in the casualties brought to the enemy, but also a kind of destruction of the opponent's courage, so as to win a morale advantage for the entire battle situation! But after half an hour, the hearty Dian Wei of the killing heart is also a mirror in his heart, such an effect is afraid that it will not be possible to achieve it in the Han army, in the face of his own death, in the eyes of those Han soldiers who have succeeded him, he only sees hatred and anger without a trace of retreat, regardless of the level of martial arts, the will and fighting spirit of these ordinary soldiers will not be under him.
Lianshan bloody battle Liu Yi turned the tide of the battle with the strength of one person, but the consequence was a huge loss that had never been seen in his life, and the lack of the help of the war horse in the foot battle was a huge test of the endurance of the generals, and the general generals rarely joined the battlefield in such a battle situation, after all, their duty was not just to charge into battle! Only generals like Liu Yidian, Wei Xu, and Chu Ganning who are extremely skilled in horse warfare and foot combat, and whose physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, have such an effect! But people's physical strength and endurance will always have a limit, such a vicious battle is that Dian Wei can only support a small half an hour, the wounds of the life and death battle between Hanzhong and Ma Chao have not yet completely healed, with the will and fighting spirit of the enemy to want to defeat it within an hour is tantamount to a fool's dream, he can only win a greater advantage for his own side when his physical strength is still sufficient, so that they can stand on the upper hand longer!
Once Dian Wei withdrew from the battlefield, the Han army was able to regain the momentum that had just been suppressed, and Gao Shun and Li Dian were extremely calm and did not let their elites rush up, which would only affect the combat strength and performance of the soldiers on both sides. The focus of the battle was on the two-mile-long stretch of the official road, and the refueling tactics became the only option, and stalemate inevitably appeared on the battlefield. After an hour of fighting, General Gao Li already has a clear understanding of the opponent's combat strength, so they have to compete in the battle situation as to who can hold out longer, or wait for reinforcements to join.
The generals of both sides of the Yong'an official road battle, Gao Shun and Li Dian, are no different in tactical choices, and their confidence in the arrival of reinforcements is also average, Li Diandianwei will also make arrangements before leading the army to Cao Cao, in terms of terrain, Gao Shun led the army over the mountains and mountains to come to the speed of reinforcements, and the Cao army will also have the upper hand, but after a series of major battles were fought before, enough tacit understanding has been formed between the main forces of the Han army, coupled with the speed of information transmission, Gao Shun believes that Zhao Yun and the military division and others will react immediately, At present, his duty is not to let the Cao army occupy this important road for retreating to Shuzhong.
One day, for a full twelve hours, the shouts of killing on both sides never stopped for a moment, and the corpses of the two soldiers had already piled up on the two-mile-long official road, but none of them would have the intention of cleaning up the battlefield.
