Chapter 637: War in the North 3
(Please subscribe!) Recently, I've been busy with post-graduation files, and I'm a little busy!! There are fewer updates! Excuse me!! )
In fact, only Wuyang City can still maintain tranquility now, and the entire Great Wall is now boiling.
In particular, Beiping Pass, which was taken care of by the Huns, was a solemn scene inside and outside at this time, and the clouds of war were dense here.
In the seventeen or eighteen days from the third day of the seventh month to the present, the Huns seemed to be tireless, constantly driving away the herdsmen of those vassal tribes, and forcibly attacking the Beiping Pass.
The battle was once fierce and abnormal, but in the end it was blocked by the Wei army, after all, the main force of the Xiongnu has not yet moved.
However, due to the lack of training of recruits, the casualties on the Wei army's side were not much better than those of the Hu people.
For example, now, under the strong attack of the Hu people, the Wei army has shown a declining trend, and if it were not for the home battle, I am afraid that it would have been defeated.
The dispatch of the Huns was very simple, that is, to fight with the Wei army, because they knew that the Wei army in the Great Wall was not as elite as it was at the beginning.
There was a shout of killing up and down the city wall, and in the Wei army's tent two miles south of Beiping Pass, Wu Mingyan was giving combat orders to his two infantry captains.
This is a new force drawn from several other levels, and it is the capital for Wu Mingyan to continue to fight hard.
And those checkpoints that have been transferred troops, now the defense is temporarily topped by the soldiers of Yanshan County.
According to the report sent back by the scout, Wu Mingyan could conclude that the Huns had no strength left to attack other checkpoints. Even if there is, it will be enough to cope with it with the ability of the county soldiers.
"Listen to the two of you, after lunch, the two of you will take turns to defend Beiping Pass!" Wu Mingyan said in a deep voice.
In the past, he would have personally arranged the conduct of the officers of the first rank of the lieutenant, but now he has to do so with the number of major generals.
Thinking of this, Wu Mingyan couldn't help but feel evil in his heart, just under the current situation of insufficient troops, Yuan Ming and Du Yan still disobeyed his military orders.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not good to tear up his face with these two people now, Wu Mingyan would have written to Wu An a long time ago, requesting that these two people be transferred or directly dismissed.
And at the moment, in addition to the attack of the Huns and the factional struggle within the army, the thing that also made Wu Mingyan angry was the remarks of some soldiers below.
Although Wei Wuji has been gone for more than half a year, the soldiers and grassroots officials below have never forgotten him.
At the time of the invasion of the Huns, rumors began to spread within the army, saying that if the son of Wuji was there, the Huns would never dare to commit a crime.
The deeper meaning of these words is that the responsibility for the Huns' disturbance is attributed to Wu Mingyan's head.
This made Wu Mingyan how could he not be angry, but he couldn't stop this kind of rumor, otherwise he would be even more weak-hearted.
In Wu Mingyan's view, the rise of rumors is by no means accidental, someone must have spread it in the army, and the biggest suspect was also identified by him as Yuan Ming and Du Yan.
"General Zhuguo, now that the battle is fierce in Beiping Pass, the last general begs to immediately lead his troops to the city to help defend against the attack of the Hu people!" At this time, one of the infantry captains said to Wu Mingyan.
It is rare to meet someone who is not afraid to fight, Wu Mingyan's mood at this time is slightly better, and he rarely heard him say in a calm tone: "You are loyal to the country, you will be very relieved......"
After thinking about it, Wu Mingyan continued: "Although the Hu people's offensive is fierce now, the garrison army in the city can still resist it...... At this time, you should have a good time to reorganize and prepare for the handover of defense at noon! ”
But when Wu Mingyan said this, he didn't think about it comprehensively, not to mention that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly.
At this moment, I heard an urgent report from a scout outside the military tent: "General Zhuguo, several sections of the city wall of Beiping Pass have been lost, and the captain of the garrison army has been killed in battle......"
All right! For Wu Mingyan, who had just persuaded people to be relieved, this news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
Beiping Pass has actually reached the point of being lost, which makes Wu Mingyan can't help but break out in a cold sweat, he is paralyzed by the repeated attacks of the Huns these days.
Thinking of this, Wu Mingyan was even a little ashamed, he had been on the battlefield for decades, but he had made such a low-level mistake.
I didn't have time to think about it anymore, Beiping Pass was absolutely not to be missed, so Wu Mingyan immediately said to the two captains in front of him: "The war is urgent, you two lead your troops to Beiping Pass, don't let the Huns succeed!" ”
The two sentences before and after, the attitude and tone are diametrically opposed...... But the two of them didn't have time to be embarrassed, and they immediately took the order after Wu Mingyan's decree.
At this time, Wu Mingyan couldn't sit still in the military tent, and he had to go to the front line to watch him to feel at ease.
But at this time, he was not completely unmeasured, but he immediately ordered: "All the garrisons in Beiping Pass, regardless of cavalry and foot, are ready for battle......
Immediately below, there were heralds to pass the order, and at this time, there were not only infantry who came in a row, but also 20,000 cavalry waiting for him.
Therefore, although the advantage occupied by the Huns was jumped, in fact, the disadvantage of the Wei army was not so great.
"Let the guard battalion prepare, and immediately set off for Beiping Pass!" Wu Mingyan said in a deep voice, and picked up his sword at this time.
After carefully looking at the sword that had followed him for decades, Wu Mingyan couldn't help but say in his heart: Old brother, the future is unpredictable!
By the time Wu Mingyan's personal guard battalion was assembled and rushed to Beiping Pass, the battle on the city wall had already entered a white heat.
However, because of the addition of the new force, the Wei army occupied an advantageous position, and the Hu people on the city wall were almost pressed and beaten, and the several sections of the city wall they had occupied before were gradually lost under the encroachment of the Wei army.
This also made the Hu people on the city tower completely lose their way out, and they had no choice but to die in battle, which also made them more tenacious and burst out with more powerful strength.
Therefore, although the Wei army had a great advantage, it was still difficult to extinguish the Hu people in Chengtou in a short time.
After learning this, Wu Mingyan's hanging heart really relaxed, but immediately he had to worry about the future, and how long should Hu Ren's next attack be.
At this time, a herald came to reply and said: "General Zhuguo, all the departments of Beiping Pass have been reinforced, and General Zhuguo is also invited to show me!" ”
Now that the difficulty of Beiping Pass has been solved, it is impossible for Wu Mingyan to let these troops still be tense, so he said to the soldier: "Tell them that the siege of Beiping Pass has been lifted, let them camp on the spot!" ”
Speaking of this, Wu Mingyan asked one more question: "Where is General Du Yan's headquarters now?" ”
Although Beiping Pass was the main direction of attack of the Huns, other directions also had to be defended, so at the beginning, Wu Mingyan only arranged for Du Yan to come to Beiping Pass.
At this time, when asked where Du Yan was, Wu Mingyan also wanted to estimate how "disobedient" this guy was.
At this time, he listened to the herald and said: "Back to General Zhuguo, General Du Yan's headquarters is now four miles southeast of Beiping Pass!" ”
Hearing this, Wu Mingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that Du Yan still knows how to measure.
The distance of four miles is undoubtedly very close to the cavalry, which shows that Du Yan really wants to come to the rescue, at this time of "national crisis".
Wu Mingyan couldn't be sure before, in the face of class contradictions, whether Du Yan would put the safety of his family and country first, or his own interests!
So now, Wu Mingyan knows the answer......
At this time, what Wu Mingyan thought in his heart was: If the army in Wuyang City can be used, the Huns can't be so rampant!
Yes, at this time, Wu Mingyan was also very enthusiastic about the cavalry established by Wei Wuji, and he had been in Yanshan for more than half a year, so he had naturally heard of the great name of this army.
And through the amazing narration of several lieutenants sent by himself to take over, Wu Mingyan can also conclude that this army is as invincible as the legend.
However, this army is also an existence that Wu Mingyan absolutely cannot grasp, and several lieutenants he sent were driven out almost not long after entering the city.
"Alright, you go and give the order!" Wu Mingyan waved his hand.
After the herald left, Wu Mingyan turned his gaze to Beiping Pass again, and now Beiping Pass, which is still smoking gunsmoke, looks like it must be vicissitudes.
"At the beginning, I also said that Chen Wanyun was incompetent in commanding the army, which caused the mountains and rivers to be broken...... Now that I am doing it myself, I know ......" Wu Mingyan's emotion came here.
The battle is over, and although it is summer, there is a wind blowing at this time......
It's just that in Wu Mingyan's nose, there is too much hustle and bustle in this wind, and there is a wisp of blood!
