Chapter 305: The Nightmare Begins
The Yan army is a hundred warriors, there is the courage of the tiger and wolf, the Jin army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but there is no combat experience, the Yan army is withdrawn, and it can still show the courage and good fighting attitude, and now the Yan army counterattacks, the previous strong warrior spirit, immediately wilted down for a while, the Yan army was suddenly rushed out by the two wings, killed in a panic, conspiracy, see conspiracy, Yan army is too despicable, habitual fishing techniques.
Please search to see the most complete update and the fastest this time, and send a small number of teams to attract the main force of the Jin army, the fish are hooked, the army is killed on both wings, there are both cavalry, and crossbowmen, the ironclad infantry began to counterattack, suddenly, under the vicious attack of the Yan army, the Jin army, which was a little impatient before, suddenly collapsed on the whole line.
The Yan army rushed into the defense line, like a torrent, and where it passed, the Jin army turned on their backs, embarrassed. Sima Kuo stood two miles away, seeing the battlefield situation, not only did a real chill rise in his heart, he didn't understand, the same people, the same soldiers, why the Yan army was like a leopard, fierce and invincible, but the Jin army was like a soft-footed shrimp, without much combat effectiveness.
With the changes in the war, even Sima Kuo, an outsider, gradually saw that the battle between the two armies was no different from a street fight, which not only required strategy, but also ruthlessness.
And when the two armies fight against each other, in close combat, whoever is more ruthless and cruel will have hope of survival. Now, judging from the battlefield situation, the Yan army is slightly superior, they stabbed and swept all the way, killing the Jin people on their backs, and the ghosts cried wolves.
The light cavalry and the ironclad infantry coordinated perfectly, attacking from three sides, forming a stormy attack, and the morale of the Jin Kingdom soon collapsed.
I really couldn't stand the crushing slaughter of the Yan army, and the Jin army finally had someone, and they screamed in surprise.
In a panic, he quickly urged the war horse to escape from this hellish battlefield of Shura. The defeat was like a mountain, one person fled, everyone followed suit, and soon, a domino effect was formed, and the Jin army's defense line completely collapsed.
Sima Kuo watched from the wall, and when he noticed that the army's morale was turbulent, he did not form a new defensive front in time, but quickly stepped on his horse and fled in a hurry.
The Yan army seized the opportunity and launched a more fierce attack. Under the dual pursuit of ironclad infantry and light cavalry, the Jin army had no intention of fighting, not to mention, the commander fled, and no one could save the current rout.
Zhao Jun noticed that Sima Kuo had fled, and hurriedly led the army to all the pressures, and chased and killed Sima Kuo's army for more than ten miles, and captured a lot of prisoners.
In the next few days, Zhao Jun led his troops to sweep the western line of Baiyan County, forcing Sima Kuo to Gukun Pass and Jingyang City.
Led the army to be stationed outside the Gukun Pass, Li Hu stood beside Zhao Jun, looked at the majestic Xiongguan, and said: "General Zhao, I received news not long ago that the commander and the deputy marshal led 100,000 troops to the west of Huaining County, and quickly came to Gukun Pass, and it is estimated that we will arrive here in about half a day Next, we should try to attack Gukun Pass, break through Jingyang City, and capture the entire territory of Baiyan County." Perhaps, the Yan army all had the idea of conquering Jingyang City and occupying Baiyan County, but now, when I suddenly heard Li Hu talk about it, no one expressed a look of surprise or panic.
After months of hard fighting, the Jin army was defeated and retreated, the number of hundreds of thousands of Jin troops was sharply reduced, and four or five counties were lost, and they were always on the defensive.
This situation was slower than the Yan army's plan, but it was also steady and steady, and there were no major mistakes. On the contrary, with the forced conscription of the Yan army troops in the Jin State, the number of Yan troops became larger and larger, and the troops under Zhao Hongru alone, no matter how tragic the battle was, everyone was still able to maintain 150,000.
Zhao Jun pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "This Sima Kuo, in vain, although he knows the art of war in his chest, he doesn't know how to be flexible when he is in battle, he is just a nerd, if it weren't for the small number of troops in the front army, he would not be able to go east if he forcibly conquered Gukun Pass, at this time, I would not hesitate to enter Gukun Pass." In Gu Kun Pass, Sima Kuo recalled the events of a few days ago, and he still remembered it vividly, and he couldn't bear to see it, and every time he thought about it, he shuddered.
At the beginning of June, there were still two months to go before the end of July, and he didn't know if he could lead the army until the day when the Wang clan would take him away.
But he knew very well that if he sat still, he would definitely die in the chaos. After two days of hard thinking and meditation, Sima Kuo finally came up with a good method, and after discussing with the deputy general Zhang Wenbo, the two of them felt that the plan was feasible and ready to start implementing it.
After a two-day stay, Zhao Hongru and Feng Shihu led 100,000 cavalry to Gukun Pass and joined the troops led by Zhao Jun.
Bishan came to Jindong, thousands of miles away, although the battlefield was changed, Zhao Hongru did not feel any sense of unfamiliarity, and still came to capture, and the cavalry under his command was invincible in official business, and the battle was invincible.
Now come to the ancient pass, once the Xiongguan is conquered, sweeping the whole territory of Baiyan County, the army turns north, goes straight into Changfeng County, arrives at Fanchang County, the general army is under the city of Jingyang, there are several ways of army to surround and conquer Jinyang City, and the Jin Kingdom will be destroyed.
"Lao Feng, this Gu Kun Pass, how are you going to fight" Zhao Hongru, Feng Shihu, Zhao Jun, Li Hu, Li Bao, and the five of them rode to the hill not far from Gu Kun Pass, condescending, and the situation in Gu Kun Pass was in full view.
"Find ways to attract Sima Kuo out of the pass" Sima Kuo encountered Feng Shihu in the first battle, the 200,000 guards led in Jinyang City at the beginning, Feng Shihu killed 30,000 people in the first battle, since then, opened the pattern of consecutive battles and defeats, and has never won a fierce battle with the Yan army.
Now, Feng Shihu has already understood Sima Kuo, this guy has a false name, whether he is a descendant of the Sima family, he doesn't know, if he is a descendant of the Sima family, he is also a scum among the descendants of the Sima family, so there is no need to worry.
Zhao Hongru nodded, turned his head to Zhao Jun and Li Hu and asked, "Old Zhao, Li Hu, what do you think" Zhao Jun chuckled, pointed to the cliff not far away, and said: "Old Feng, old Zhao, you see, the mountain peak not far away can be used." "Zhao Hongru, Feng Shihu and the four of them raised their eyes to look, the peak that Zhao Jun said, the south is the Gukun Pass, if you fall from the peak, you can just enter the Gukun Pass to the west, and Jingyang City to the east.
"General Zhao, what do you mean, this west peak mountain is steep, towering, like a sharp sword, inserted between Gukun Pass and Jingyang City, becoming an important barrier for one city and one pass, even if the Yan army attacks Gukun Pass, if the Jin army guards the west gate of Jingyang City, we still can't conquer it" Li Bao said worriedly.
He is right, this Gukun Pass and Jingyang City are the southernmost places to conquer in the southern Jin region, if you can't conquer a pass and a city at the same time, you will inevitably be startled, and then things will be very difficult.
Zhao Hongru and Feng Shihu raised their heads at the same time, and they seemed to think of something, Feng Shihu said: "Let's go back, rest for five days, and then there will be a hard battle." "Now, the 200,000 guards have been almost defeated by Sima Kuo, and the 140,000 guards are still okay to defend the pass, colliding head-on, and they have no intention of looking for death.
"Now that the two marshals understand, I won't say more, go back to the camp and rest for two days to recuperate." Zhao Jun chuckled, if there is no accident, this Gukun Pass and Jingyang City will be in the hands of the Jin army for less than five days.
If the Yan army occupies one city and one pass, it will not only have a safe material storage place, but also be able to block the Jin army's westward advance, killing two birds with one stone.
Time flew quickly, and within five days, Feng Shihu and the five of them made a detailed plan, and as the Jin army tried to attack out of the city.
On the fifth day, the Yan army did not attack the city as planned, but retreated five miles under the attack of the cavalry of the small country of the Jin army.
On the sixth and seventh days, the Jin army attacked and the Yan army retreated, which seemed to have become a common rule on both sides.
In a flash, the time came to the middle of June, the Yan army was harassed by the Jin army, retreated nearly a hundred miles, and led the army to harass the Yan army's Zhang Wenbo, who did not know what the Yan army intended After careful observation, he noticed that the Yan State camp was getting bigger and bigger, at first, there were only 150,000 troops, and as the Yan army continued to retreat, the size of the camp was enough to accommodate 200,000.
He was puzzled, the Yan army did not fight back for a long time, could it be waiting for the support of the army, and strive to capture Gukun Pass and Jingyang City in one fell swoop.
If the Yan army had such a plan, it would simply underestimate the Jin army and the defense of Gukun Pass and Jingyang City.
The two places rely on each other, and they can't be conquered at all, just like the Yan army once built the Leiming Pass and the Yao Pass in the mountains, when the Jin army occupied the west of Jingyang City, they deliberately built the Gukun Pass, so as to block the enemy from the west.
Later, the territory of the Jin State continued to advance westward, and this city and pass gradually fell, and now, the Yan army tried to capture this city and pass, and the advantages of relying on each other in this city and pass were suddenly brought into play.
Next, for two consecutive days, according to the spies' report, the defense of the Yan army camp became more and more lax, and it seemed that they could take the opportunity to attack the Yan army camp.
However, Zhang Wenbo had experienced the strength of the Yan army's generals, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, for fear that the Yan army would set a trap and wait for him.
After two days, the spies' report was still the same, Zhang Wenbo thought about it, and prepared to launch a small-scale night attack, and hurriedly sent people to Gukun Pass to borrow troops from Sima Kuo.
The Yan army was too arrogant, and it became careless to underestimate the enemy, Zhang Wenbo felt that if he had the opportunity to hit the Yan army hard, or take advantage of the night to burn the Yan army's grain and grass camp, perhaps, for the time being, he could stop the Yan army's advance.
In the evening, Sima Kuo sent 60,000 cavalry to arrive as scheduled, and Zhang Wenbo began to march through the horses, waiting for dark to attack.
In the past half a month, the 140,000 troops who had already broken away from the Yan army camp had lurked in Xifeng Mountain with grain and grass, and waited for part of the Jin army to leave Gukun Pass, so as to launch an attack.
Now, the Yan army wants to increase the camp area, but in fact, it is deliberately paralyzing the Jin army, making it afraid, so that it does not dare to approach the Yan State camp and cover up the traces for Feng Shihu, Zhao Hongru and others.
"Zhao Jun, you lead 40,000 foot cavalry, annihilate Zhang Wenbo's army, me and Lao Feng, respectively, attack Gukun Pass and Jingyang City, this war to solve the Jin army in all the main force, conquer Changfeng County before October, wait for the emperor to recover, he personally commands the three armies, conquer Jinyang City, capture Beichen Qiong, and avenge the revenge of Nanhu." Zhao Hongru laid out the marching plan.
