Chapter 1088: The Battle of Jingxiang XIX
Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry arrived at the place of Gao Shun Li Dian's battle before Fan Chou's Bingzhou battalion, and the white tiger battalion of the Liaodong Army was immediately attacked by the enemy, but the situation did not take a turn for the worse as imagined, although it was attacked by the enemy, Gao Shun was still able to support it at this time! This has a great relationship with the meticulousness of his previous preparations, while fighting to the death with Li Dian Gao Shun did not slow down the vigilance of the enemy behind him for a moment, it is true that the ironclad army of the Xuanwu Battalion did not play an effective role in hand-to-hand combat, but the White Tiger Battalion's cloud-piercing arrows combined with the terrain have received great results, it is precisely because of their outstanding performance that the suddenness of the Xiahou Yuan cavalry has been greatly reduced, which has also minimized the casualties of the Han army, of course, the narrowness of the terrain in this battle has also helped Gao Shun a lot!
However, even so, after two days of non-stop fierce fighting, the pressure on the Liaodong army can be imagined, but for Gao Shun, since the moment he led the army, he was ready for this situation, and the Han army here had no way to retreat, and their choice was to hold on to the last man to complete the victory of the entire battle. It's a pity that because Xiahou Yuan came too fast, although it was blocked by the White Tiger Battalion, it still had a certain impact on the Han army, and the morale of the Cao army was greatly boosted, Gao Shun believed that if Xiahou Yuan was half an hour late, I was afraid that the Cao army would lose their peerless fierce general, Dian Wei, who was on the mountain, saw Dian Wei retreated desperately by the pro-army around him.
The battle of Yong'an Guandao is still continuing, and the battle situation in Jiangling and Xiangyang has also fallen into a kind of stalemate, and Cao Cao's personal encouragement to Cao's soldiers is self-evident, which makes the city that originally looked a little precarious become strong again! In this regard, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others can only hope for the resilience of the front-line soldiers, although the current battle situation is the situation they least want to see, but it is not unacceptable to fight such a war of attrition in terms of the general trend of the whole world.
The soldiers are treacherous, and there will always be uncertain factors on the battlefield, and this uncertainty is also extremely obvious in the battle between Cao and Liu that is enough to determine the overall situation of the world! Liu Yi sent troops in Jingxiang in Hanzhong, and Gan Ning in Xuzhou kept an eye on Liu Bei, and the breakthrough in the third line was very obvious in Jingxiang, not only Liu Yi and Cao Cao, but also the generals of the two armies could see the situation in front of them very clearly! But the development of the battle situation is beyond everyone's expectations, the Jingxiang battle situation that concentrates all the elites on both sides has not yet been broken, as the main force to contain the Hanzhong Zhang Hu Department has made great progress, Xiangyang Jiangling Han army has not made progress in recent months, but there is a problem with Jiameng Pass, which can be called the Xiongguan in the world, and when Yong'an fights, Zhang He's Tiger Guards have climbed the head of the Xiongguan!
All these accidents came from the hands of one person, and this person really doesn't have much to do with the army, but just like history is often changed by the actions of little people, he also wrote a strong stroke in the disputes at the end of the Han Dynasty, this person is a special craftsman of the Han Army Equipment, who once created a wheelbarrow and was awarded by Liu Yi to meet and commend the third-rate craftsman! Another behind the scenes can only be said to be providential, this year is just the end of October, but the weather in Hanzhong is already unusually cold.
Time rewind to twenty days ago, Zhang Hu's main responsibility in this battle is to attack Jiameng Pass with all his strength to contain the main force of the Cao army in Shuzhong to the greatest extent, and the cooperation between the Han army since the day of the formation of the army is to spare no effort, and this attack on Xiongguan is also not as good as the loss of all-out efforts, and the initial main attack task is the Tiger Guard led by Zhang He Wei Yan! The first battle of Micang Mountain in Hanzhong, Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang's name spread throughout the army, everyone sighed that the Son of Heaven knew the accuracy of the people, and at the same time also appreciated the strategy and courage of this young general, and after this battle, he established a real prestige in the army, this siege knew that Jiameng Pass was a natural danger, but the Tiger Guard was still full of confidence, the more difficult the battle, the more they had to rush to fight, otherwise how could they be called the first strong army of the Han army by the Son of Heaven?
Now that Liu Yi ascended the throne as emperor, the words of the day have become Chrysostom, and every soldier of the Tiger Guard Army regards this honor as more important than his own life! The first strong army should not only be reflected in the comprehensive strength, they must strive to be the first in any aspect, and they will not have the slightest relaxation in the way of siege that will often be used, although the Tiger Guard Army has not been trained in the two major battles of Hanzhong and Yanzhou, but their ability to attack the fortified positions in the two battles of Anxian County in that year is not to be underestimated. Commander Zhang He, as one of the most strategic generals of the Han army, also roughly foresaw the attack on Xiongguan, during this period of time, the Tiger Guards did not relax the training of siege and mountain warfare, and the prestige of the first strong army was built on the blood and sweat of countless soldiers.
The order to attack Zhang Hu was to go all out so that the defenders could not relax for a moment, but in terms of actual operation, there was not much interference, and a general like Zhang He did not need it. Generally speaking, the style of an army is closely related to its military commander, Zhang Hezhan is varied and extremely flexible, Liu Yi once asked all armies to learn the Tiger Guard's style of fighting with their brains at the all-army meeting, which is also different from his comrades.
To say that the deepest feeling about this is the Jiameng guard general Cao Hong, within a day he felt the changes in the various combat styles of the Tiger Guard, Liu Yi commented on the generals of the Cao Army once said that Le Jin "is as brave as a tiger, its cunning as a fox." "Then it is ever-changing on Zhang He's body, the Tiger Guards are constantly adjusting the best attack formation and siege tactics, and the cooperation between the Sky Bombardment Cannon and it is more proficient, so even if there is a natural risk, it is difficult for Cao Hong to take advantage of the Tiger Guards.
After a few days of attack, Zhang He had a more comprehensive assessment of Jia Mengguan, the super combat power of the Tiger Guards made them avoid a lot of casualties in the attack, but after all, the natural danger is a natural danger, Cao Hong can also be regarded as a well-known general of Cao Ying, according to the current progress of the battle situation, there is no one month and pay heavy casualties The Tiger Guard has no possibility of breaking through the barrier at all, at best, it is just a consumption with the other party, indeed this is already an extremely remarkable thing in the previous siege battle, However, after the Han army had the coordination of infantry artillery, Zhang He's appetite was also getting bigger and bigger, and he wanted to think of ways to take Xiongguan in a short period of time, and every evening Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and other generals would also come to discuss the war with him.
However, after the attack lasted for seven days, Zhang He was just about to apply the new tactics they had discussed to the actual situation, but Zhang Hu's military order made the Tiger Guards stop their actions. After arranging for the whole army to closely monitor the enemy, Zhang He immediately galloped to the main village of the Han army fifty miles away, believing that the military advisor would definitely give him a reasonable explanation for this military order.
For Zhang He's coming, Zhang Hu was naturally expected, Hong Biao had been waiting for a long time before the camp gate, and when he saw a big Wanliang horse galloping over, he immediately greeted him first. "General Zhang came so quickly, the military advisor arranged for me to wait for the general here." Previously, Hong Biao has been the deputy commander of the guard battalion, is Liu Yi's old subordinate when he was in the West Garden, after Lang Sheng ascended the throne, he was added as a partial general, although the position is not high, but there is one but is envied by the generals of the whole army, his son Hong Tong was Liu Yi thought that the righteous son was in Youzhou Academy at this time, although it was just a joke, but Lang Sheng has always been a word, don't look at Hong Biao rough person, but Hong Tong is extraordinary and quite famous, when Zhang He's Tiger Guard Army was stationed in Beiping for a long time, and the relationship between the two is also very good.
"Could it be that the military advisor has already made a plan to break the city?" He stuffed the reins into Hong Biao's hand very casually, and asked questions in his mouth, but he kept going to the main tent in the army! There is no need to have too much hypocrisy between him and Hong Biao, on the way to the big tent, he has been thinking about this problem in his heart, and there is no reason why Zhang Hu will never order to stop the attack of the Tiger Guards until now.
"Hehe, how can I know about such a major military aircraft, General Zhang should know when he went to the camp and saw the military division!" Holding the horse behind Zhang He, Hong Biao said with a smile, it seems that General Zhang has not forgotten the matter of breaking through the pass for a moment, and he does not dare to say this question explicitly even if he knows the answer.
"I hope that the military division can have a good plan to break through, where the Cao army reinforces Jingxiang, if our army takes the Jiameng Pass, Changchang will be able to go straight to Chengdu!" Zhang He said with a self-deprecating smile, of course he would not know that there was a Sword Pavilion behind Jiameng Pass, but if the Cao army really defended this, the strange soldiers of the Han army smuggling through Yinping would be able to play a greater role, and it would be impossible to say that the victory or defeat of the Son of Heaven to conquer Cao Cao would be determined by this.
"Zhang He, the commander of the Tiger Guard, asks to see the military advisor." The two of them strode like flying in a short time before they arrived at the camp gate, and Zhang He said with his hands in fists outside the tent.
"Jun Yi has arrived? And let's get into the account. Zhang Hu's voice came from the tent, and there was no change in the voice alone, as always, he was calm and calm, and it would not be applicable to Zhang Junshi to observe words and listen to the sound and taste.
Zhang He entered the camp tent when he heard this, and Hong Biao was guarding in front of the camp gate, and the two people who were dressed in strong clothes were the shadow guards sent by Liu Yi to Zhang Hu's side, and Lang Sheng never relaxed his vigilance against the safety of his own generals, especially a pillar like Zhang Hu! There were only three people in the tent, and the military advisor sat in the center and saw Jun Yi enter the tent and got up to greet him, and the young man behind him was his personal guard Dark Er, beside Zhang Hu, he never said a word, more like a shadow.
The shadow guard Zhang He had seen it a long time ago, and there were such guards around him, and what really attracted his attention was the man in black under Zhang Hu's head, this person sat on top of a well-designed wheelchair, and his face was also covered with half a piece of black veil only showing his eyes, and when Zhang He entered the tent, he also turned around, this person is no stranger, you must know that he has been a guard for the equipment for a year.
