Chapter 301: Chen Cang
It's summer, and the weather is slowly getting hotter. Chen Cang, from the early spring to now, the Ma-Han coalition army and the Xia army have been fighting fiercely for several months, and they are all tired. The originally fortified Chencang City was devastated by the war and was also damaged, and many places have left traces of new repairs.
The fortifications that Uhuali had built outside the city to support the city's defenses had all been destroyed. This time, the army of Liangzhou attacked with all their strength and prepared a large number of city defense equipment, causing great damage to Chencang City.
The Xia army held hard and suffered heavy losses, with more than 2,000 casualties among the soldiers. As the attacker, the casualties of the Liangzhou army were naturally not small. The blood of the battlefield flowed south with the moat, almost staining the Weishui red. The corpses were cleaned up one after another, and now both the offensive and defensive sides have become the last state of strong crossbows.
The Xia army is still good, the left and right enemy troops can't attack the city, and the city walls can still make it feel safe, and after defending it for so long, it has defeated the strong enemy, and the Xia army's confidence in holding the city has long been firm.
The Liangzhou coalition army was different, although there were still enough troops, but the front of the troops was dull, and the frustration of morale became the biggest problem facing Ma Han. They gathered the Qiang people, but they once lured them with profits, and lured them by invading the three assistants and plundering their property.
But now, things have backfired, Chen Cang is blocking the road, and he can't fight hard. Even Fufeng can't attack, and the situation is the heart of the three assistants. During this time, the hearts of the coalition forces were already somewhat scattered, and many Qiang leaders had the intention of retreating and wanted to return to Liangzhou, but they were suppressed by Ma Teng and Han Sui.
But like Song Yang, King Hu, they didn't dare to force it, so they could only persuade each other with good words. The attack was unsuccessful, the time was delayed, and it was urgent to rest, so Ma Teng discussed with Han Sui and temporarily ceased the war. In order to prevent the attack of the Xia army, he decisively retreated for more than 30 miles.
At the head of the city in the southwest corner of Chencang, Liu Qiu and Liu Heng stood there. On the left, Weishui went east, Liu Qiu's expression was serious and silent. Liu Heng came with the army, experienced the bloody battle of the city defense, and grew a lot.
His eyes glanced at Liu Qiu beside him from time to time, and he stopped talking. But seeing that Liu Qiu had not reacted, he finally couldn't help it, and asked out loud: "Uncle Wang, the Liangzhou army has been withdrawn for a few days, and the enemy is tired, so you can take advantage of the situation to march and defeat them to solve this big problem for my father." I just don't know why General Uhuali is still cowering in the city? ”
Turning his head to stare at Liu Heng for a while, he said slowly: "The current situation is all because of the strong city, and the current situation of the enemy and our outnumbered people has still not been improved. Before Brother Wang's reinforcements arrive, don't go out lightly. You've been following the West for so long, it's time to grow a little! ”
"No! My nephew was taught! Facing this embarrassing Uncle Wang, Liu Heng bowed his head slightly.
"If you have the heart to keep an eye on that position, perform well in this battle against Liang!" As he was silent, Liu Qiu said coldly.
Listening to Liu Qiu's words, Liu Heng's face was stunned for a while, and he looked at Liu Qiu's cold face in a daze. His heart pounded a few times, and he glanced around: "Uncle Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”
"The open and secret battles between your three brothers, now that Xia Guo is civil and military, is there anything you don't know?" Liu Qiu finally turned his head, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Liu Heng coldly.
"We Huns believe in the strong, and so does your father. Although I am stupid, I can also feel that your father allowed your three brothers to fight, just to choose a strong man to inherit the country he had built. Liu Qiu had never said so much to Liu Heng, and today's words surprised him very much.
"I'll stop here!"
Liu Heng's expression also faded, thoughtful. glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and was about to open his mouth, but he put it away again, his eyes flickering.
"I am surrounded by my henchmen, and I have something to say." Liu Qiu saw Liu Heng's careful thoughts.
"My nephew knows that Uncle Wang was also qualified to inherit the position of Da Shan Yu back then, but I don't know ...... Uncle Wang now" Liu Heng's voice was very low: "Also, why did you mention Fang Cai's words to your nephew?" ”
"Because...... After all, you are the son of Lady Concubine! Liu Heng saw it clearly, and when he said this, Liu Qiu's fists were clenched very tightly.
Liu Heng lowered his head, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
……
After a truce of several days, the area around Chencang was much more stable, and as soon as the Liangzhou coalition army shrank its military strength, it completely retreated. A small number of Liangzhou raiders who invaded the hinterland of Fufeng and fought with Lu Bu and Tan Zhe also retreated.
Xia Qi, who had been active in the eastern part of Chencang, finally got a rare time to recuperate, and when the war changed, Lu Bu and Tan Zhe were ordered to return to the city to discuss matters.
"General Lu Bu has worked hard!" Uhuali personally welcomed Lu Bu into the city.
These days, in the Weishui Valley, he fought desperately with the Liang cavalry, and the pressure on Lu Bu was no less than that of the Xia army defending the city. Lu Bu alone led people to kill the enemy cavalry, and there were dozens of sorties, and there were dozens of enemy soldiers who were personally killed.
Lu Bu seemed to have a cold and solemn aura that was difficult to describe in words, and he still remembered Wu Huali's proposal to prevent him from breaking into Liangzhou and fighting Ma Han's rear. Coldly hugged his fist at Wu Huali and said: "It's not as good as the general being attacked by tens of thousands of enemy troops!" ”
"Haha!" Wu Huali didn't care about Lu Bu's reaction, and stepped forward to pat Lu Bu on the shoulder: "To deal with the Liang army next, you still need a general Wu Yong!" ”
After speaking, he eagerly took Lu Bu's hand and walked towards the city. Looking at Wu Huali's attitude towards himself, Lu Bu's face looked much better.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from last winter to now summer, our army has been holding Chencang for half a year. Although the enemy is strong, it is also created by our army. Liangzhou is barren and chaotic, and it is the limit of the time that can support the tens of thousands of thieves to fight hard, and the military rations of the generals and Han and others may not be much. "The case of Uhuali living alone in the handsome situation will be the arrival of today's war situation.
"Now, our army has finished resting, and the general has decided to send troops to the north along the river, advance to the enemy's village, and start a counterattack while the enemy is frustrated!" Wu Huali said lightly: "This general is ordered by the king to resist the Liang soldiers, but the goal of this general is not only to block the enemy army. Having been here for so long, and allowing the enemy army to run rampant, I think you must have felt deeply aggrieved. ”
When Liu Qiu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "The enemy is weak, but there are still tens of thousands of soldiers, is it too risky to attack at this time." ”
"General, I am willing to be a pioneer!" A Han general came out from the bottom, it was Duan Xuan's subordinate Duan Ling, Duan Xuan was in Chang'an, and he came with the army.
"General Xiaoduan's courage is commendable, don't be impatient!" Wu Huali looked at Liu Qiu: "Don't worry, the general will not act rashly." A letter from Chang'an, the king sent Lord Subu to bring 5,000 armor soldiers to help! ”
"The beggar knights, all of them are willing to respond to the general's attack!" Tan Zhe said coldly.
"The last general is willing to lead the army to attack the general!" Lu Bu also came out of the line.
Seeing this, Uhuali smiled, the military heart is available, it is time to blow the horn of counterattack.
He stood up and pointed on the map in front of the hall: "The Liangzhou thief army has gone north again and has withdrawn to Yulu County." To the south of the elk of Chongqing, there is the arrow plain, and the surrounding hills and forests here are continuous, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, which is really an important place. Ben wanted to garrison it with a large army. ”
"Duan Ling, take you as the vanguard of the army and set up camp here. This is a very risky matter, but can you have the guts? Wu Huali looked at Duan Ling.
