Zhang Chun's blind self-confidence doomed him to failure, and at the same time as Jiang Sheng's south gate launched the main attack, the east gate and the west gate also made an attack posture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info These three defenders didn't take it seriously, and thought that they were just feints, and if they couldn't attract the main force of the defenders, they would retreat.
But it turned out that their judgment was wrong, in less than an hour, the south city wall was controlled by Jiang Shengjun, and the west gate and the east gate were the real feints, and their targets were the two battalions in the east and west of the north of the city.
Zhang Chun was taken aback when he heard that the southern city wall had fallen, what kind of trick did Jiang Sheng play? Hurriedly transferred men from the two battalions in the northeast and northwest to return to the city to defend.
Zhang Ju was waiting for the attack of Jiang Sheng's "main force" on the mountain in the northwest camp, and was surprised to hear that the southern city wall was lost, and hurriedly led the army back to help.
In the southern city wall, the two armies had already fought together at this time, and the defenders organized by Zhang Chun resisted Jiang Sheng's army under the city wall to the death, killing the sky in the dark. After Zhang Ju led the army to kill, the combat strength of the defenders increased sharply, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who killed the city wall were killed and wounded, and the southern city wall was soon recaptured by the defenders.
Jiang Sheng continued to beat the drum and march, but it was already a bluff, at this time the battlefield has been transferred to the northwest battalion, Zhang Jun led the army back to the city, waiting outside the west gate for a long time Yu Ban, give full play to the rapid movement ability of the cavalry, take advantage of the void to kill into the northwest battalion, the northwest battalion left behind not many troops, coupled with the defense of the official army on the mountain, I did not expect that there would be an official army from below.
Yu Ban took the lead, slashed left and right, and killed a piece, and the charge of more than 10,000 cavalry was originally extraordinary, and soon took control of the northwest camp, and after cleaning the battlefield, he began to feint to attack the camp on the riverbank.
Zhang Chun commanded the battle in the south of the city, while Zhang Ju observed the situation in the north of the city, he saw that although the flag was fluttering on the mountain, there was no sign of attack, so he knew that this TMD was a feint, and the attack at the east gate was sparse, and it was obvious that it was also a suspicious strategy, so he simply ignored him.
Under the command of Zhang Ju, the Northeast Battalion sent troops to support the Riverbank Battalion, and Zhang Chun concentrated on defending the south of the city. With this adjustment and deployment, the Northeast Battalion fell into a gap again, and Chu Yan seized the opportunity to quickly launch an attack.
This fight, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are blinded, why is this Jiang Sheng a soldier everywhere? This is unpredictable, how to use soldiers?
There were 80,000 defenders in Feiru City, including 60,000 in the three large battalions in the north and 20,000 in the city. In Jiang Sheng's virtual attack, the strength of the city has expanded to more than 30,000 people, nearly 10,000 people in the northwest battalion have either died or fled, and have been defeated, and the riverbank battalion plus the northeast battalion that came to aid a total of 30,000 people have been pinned down by Yu Ban's cavalry at this moment, and there are still 10,000 people in the northeast battalion.
Chu Yan's strength is also 10,000, but because it is a back attack, it is obviously downwind, Chu Yan is not afraid of death, and also contains the mentality of avenging the 3,000 cavalry, braving the rain of rolling stones and arrows to attack it.
Zhang Ju is now dizzy, he doesn't know if Jiang Sheng still has troops that have not yet appeared, he knows that the Northeast Battalion is in an emergency, and he doesn't dare to send troops to rescue, Zhang Chun is also tied in the face of Jiang Sheng's Chinese army battalion.
Under Chu Yan's brave attack, the Northeast Battalion was no longer tenable, although it caused nearly 4,000 casualties among the officers and soldiers, but in the end it was still defeated, and the remnants of the army converged with the camp on the riverbank.
Chu Yan because of the loss of troops, can only occupy the northeast camp to hold, Yu Ban's remaining more than 8,000 cavalry in the face of 30,000 enemy troops, do not dare to attack at all, such a fight, the north of the city is much safer.
Zhang Ju saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance to the west, and he could vaguely see the team of white-robed cavalry, followed by about 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and he was shocked, why did this Gongsun Zhan come again?
On that day, Gongsun Zhan pursued the Wuhuan cavalry to the outside of the Saiwai, but returned in vain, and heard the scout's report that Jiang Sheng was attacking Feiru, so he simply led the 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry that originally supported the Xiliang War to support Jiang Sheng.
There is more than one Wuhuan tribe, Qiu Liju is only one of them, and the three thousand Wuhuan cavalry led by Gongsun Zhan are from another tribe, which was asked by Zhang Wen to support Xiliang, and he is catching up with this Zhang Chun rebellion, so he simply stayed in Youzhou.
In fact, what Jiang Sheng didn't know was that there was originally a support army: the Southern Xiongnu. Emperor Ling's 800-mile urgent edict ordered the Southern Xiongnu to send troops to participate in the rebellion, but the Tu tribes of the Southern Xiongnu launched a rebellion, so the reinforcements of the Southern Xiongnu could not come to help.
The messenger reported the battle in the north of the city, and Jiang Sheng did not expect the loss to be so large, so he sent 10,000 infantry troops to replenish Chu Yan, and left 5,000 soldiers and horses to contain Zhang Chun.
Zhang Ju's scouts found out that there were official reinforcements in the northeast and reported to Zhang Ju, and Gongsun Zhan's troops were also marching in full force, Zhang Ju felt that the general trend had gone, so he ordered Zhang Chun to immediately abandon the city and go out of the north gate, and join the camp on the river bank to ensure a strong force to deter the officers and troops.
Zhang Chun left hundreds of soldiers at the head of the city to make a defensive posture, and since he led the main force of the city to highlight the north gate, and after fighting with Yu Ban's department, he opened a bloody road, and successfully joined forces with the riverbank battalion, so that the strength of the riverbank battalion reached 70,000 people, and neither Yu Ban nor Chu Yan dared to act rashly.
Yu Ban sent people to report the news that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju had abandoned the city to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng was overjoyed, and ordered the army to storm the south gate, and the defenders at the head of the city were only one hundred and eighty people.
After Jiang Sheng entered the city, only a thousand people were left to clear the scattered rebels in the city, and the vast majority of the troops were arranged outside the north gate, Jiang Sheng knew that this battle did not cause too many casualties to the rebels, and the strength of the riverbank battalion was definitely superior to the official army, so he had to prevent Zhang Chun from killing back, so the loss would be great.
Gongsun Zhan's cavalry saw that Feirucheng had fallen into Jiang Sheng's hands, so he led his army into the city to rest.
Jiang Sheng heard that Gongsun Chan had entered the city, and hurriedly came over to meet him.
"In Xia Gongsun Zhan, meet the general!" Gongsun Zan is currently only the temporary person in charge of the governor's actions, and his actual position is the county magistrate of Zhuo County, and his level is one level lower than Jiang Sheng, so he came to visit.
"Brother Gongsun is famous all over the world, why be polite?" Jiang Sheng replied.
"What's the name of Bo Jue? On the contrary, it is Brother Jiang, who has won all battles and is praised by the world! ”
The two exchanged pleasantries, that is, mentioning the war here, Jiang Sheng analyzed that Zhang Chun's military strength was still more than 60,000, and if Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun came to attack the city again, it would be difficult to deal with it.
Gongsun Chan said: "Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are newly defeated, and their morale is low, so we can bluff and force them to leave here." ”
Jiang Sheng said: "Brother Gongsun has a good plan, so act according to the plan." ”
It was almost dusk, and Zhang Chun and Zhang Jujun had just been able to breathe, when they heard the sound of drums from all sides, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing came from far and near, only that the official army was attacking.
"Lord, the strength of the officers and soldiers is unknown, so we should leave here for the time being, and we will try to do it."
"Okay, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, and withdraw the army!" Zhang Ju was a little reluctant, but it was important to save his life.
That night, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun led 70,000 rebels to retreat eastward and go to the northeast.
