In the fifth round, Fu Youde attacked Ba County
Hanzhong is about to go down, so the front of Zhang Yi's three-way attack on Shu has been completed, and the next step is to start a large-scale attack. Zhang Yi sent a fast horse to Fu Youde and Lin Fengxiang to send a letter to spread the news that Hanzhong had been taken down. At the same time, Zhang Yi is still increasing the number of troops in Hanzhong, at least more than 10,000 more soldiers, so that Hanzhong can form a real attack force.
Fu Youde received Zhang Yi's order in Zigui and immediately marched westward, and he attacked Yufu with Liu Heimin as the vanguard.
Liu Heimin and Huo Jun already had a similar understanding of the situation in Ba County, and after receiving the order, they set off immediately. Although Yufu is close to Jingzhou, it is not a key place for Yizhou to protect, and the important town of Ba County is in Jiangzhou, and it is guarded by Yan Yan and heavy troops. Yufu is five or six hundred miles away from Jiangzhou, and the road is not too easy to walk, so Yan Yan did not place too many troops for Yufu at first.
But a few years ago, Yan Yan found out that Jingzhou was stationed in Wuxian County, so he asked Chengdu to transfer Lei Tong and let him lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend Yufu.
But it's a pity that Zhang Yi had already sent someone to infiltrate Yizhou, and when Liu Heimin arrived, the lurkers in Yufu City moved.
Lei Tong also discovered Liu Heimin's army, so he took people to Liu Heimin's road to block it.
Liu Heimin and Huo Jun brought more than 10,000 people, and the two moved forward. Liu Heimin was proving the charge, while Huo Jun was outflanking from the flank.
Lei Tong took advantage of the terrain to block Liu Heimin's first attack again and again. Liu Heimin is just a feint, has been holding back Lei Tong's attention, the casualties in the attack are too large, these soldiers are not easy to train, and there are too many pensions, if the casualties are too large, it will affect his credit.
Zhang Yi's subordinates have different merits from others, and the injuries of soldiers must be reduced. If the casualties are too large, even if they are meritorious service, they may not be deducted, and there may even be a situation where the merit will be deducted.
Huo Jun went around the trail to Lei Tong's back and immediately launched an attack on Lei Tong. With the soldier's strong ability to attack fortifications, Huo Jun easily rushed into Lei Tong's camp. The Lei Tong camp soon became chaotic, and Liu Heimin saw the chaos in the Lei Tong camp and immediately attacked with his army.
Under the attack of the two compartments, Lei Tong could not resist at all, so he could only flee back to Yufu.
Liu Heimin immediately waved his army to chase after him, and chased him all the way to the outside of Yufu City. Lei Tong closed the city gate in time, and after counting the soldiers and horses, he found that there were less than 2,000 people left. Look outside the city, there are more than 10,000 enemy troops, almost eight or nine times their own. Lei Tonghe was worried, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist. Lei Tong has the heart to give up Yufu, but it is not his character to run away without a fight, no matter what, he has to fight, and then think about retreating.
After Liu Heimin surrounded Yufu, he sent people over to persuade him to surrender. But Lei Tong did not agree and scolded the messenger back.
"It's tough!" Liu Heimin said disdainfully: "After dark, we will attack the city and take down the fish tonight." ”
After nightfall, Liu Heimin launched a night attack on Yufu. The city in Shu is much shorter than other places, except for some particularly important cities that will have very tall city walls, and the city walls of small cities are only two zhang high. Because their cities are all built of stones, the amount of work is too large, and the population of Shu is too small.
One of the advantages of Stone Town is that it is difficult to crash the city walls, and after piling the city gate to death with stones, there is no place for the crash car to be brave.
However, if the walls are too low, there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is very easy to climb. Liu Heimin only used the ladder that he carried with the army to climb up willingly. And this kind of ladder Liu Heimin brought a lot, mainly used to erect pontoon bridges on some rivers, or used to pass the moat.
Lei Tong was also on guard, and as soon as there was movement outside the city, he sent people to guard it strictly. After about half an hour, the defensive line was very unstable, and there were always enemy troops who could rush to the top of the city. And there were a lot of strong crossbows outside the city, staring at the city and shooting, and many people were shot to death.
Lei Tong sent all his soldiers to the city wall, and he regretted it now, knowing that he had withdrawn from Yufu and returned to Jiangzhou. I didn't expect the enemy army to launch such a strong offensive at night, and their arrows were so accurate that Lei Tong didn't know where the arrows came from.
Just when Lei Tong was a little worried, thirty or forty people suddenly killed in the city, and they directly killed the city. The defenders of the city were defenseless, and Liu Heimin's soldiers quickly gained a foothold in the city.
Lei Tong saw that the general trend had gone, and immediately abandoned the city and prepared to break through. Lei Tong came out of Yufu and killed directly in the direction of Jiangzhou, but he was stopped as soon as he went out two miles. Huo Jun led thousands of people to kill him from both sides and directly surrounded him.
Lei Tong's army had no fighting spirit and surrendered one after another. Lei Tong himself was knocked to the ground by the soldiers and tied up.
Liu Heimin took down Yufu and immediately contacted Fu Youde. And he asked Huo Jun to attack Qu Ren, which is located one hundred and fifty miles away from Yufu, which is also a small county.
After Fu Youde arrived at Yufu, he immediately launched a strategy for Ba County. Because the counties of Ba County were too far away from each other, Fu Youde could only personally lead a large army to capture Jiangzhou, and then send others to occupy the county seats in the rest of the places. Ba County has 14 county seats, from Yufu to Jiangzhou, along the way there are Quren, Linjiang, Pingdu, and Tongxian. That is to say, after Fu Youde attacked Jiangzhou, he could occupy six county seats.
Of the remaining eight counties, there is one to the south of this route, which is Fuling County. The remaining seven counties are all north of this road, and at this time the troops will have to be divided.
Fu Youde's army attacked all the way to Linjiang, and then sent Liu Heimin, Huo Jun, and Zhang Jing to the northwest along the mountain range to attack the ditch. There are several places that must be captured when attacking Shu, and the ditch is one of them.
Because there are very good soldiers here in the ditch, called Ban Yuman. Zhang He and Zhang Fei fought in the ditch in order to snatch the soldiers of the barbarians.
When it comes to this war, the main reason is that Zhang He himself made a mistake, and Zhang Fei just picked up the cheap. Zhang He robbed the population in the ditch, in order to prevent these people from escaping, he deliberately found a very good terrain, an open space presented as an inverted Ω, as long as the mouth was sealed, Zhang He could rest assured that he could rob the population. When Zhang Fei led the troops over, Zhang He himself led the troops into this open space to defend, and was blocked by Zhang Fei.
This is Zhang He dug a pit for himself, and Zhang Fei can't say how resourceful he is when he blocks the door, and if he changes it to a little military common sense, he will also block it. Then wait for the food inside to be eaten up, Zhang He is bound to fail. It can only be said that Zhang Fei's luck was good, and he made a mistake when he encountered the enemy.
However, luck is also part of strength, and it is this battle that determines Zhang Fei's status as a famous general, and he is just a fierce general. Just like Zhou Yu, the Battle of Chibi established his status as a famous general, according to the history books, the Battle of Chibi was not very big, and it is really impossible to say who put the fire. But Zhou Yu was the commander and defeated the mighty Cao Cao, and this was luck.
After Liu Heimin captured the ditch, he was also divided into three parts, sending Huo Jun north to Yihan, Zhang Jing to the north to Hanchang, and he himself attacked Anhan to the west. Huo Jun and Zhang Jing also attacked Langzhong and Chongguo to the west. After that, Zhang Jing and Huo Jun divided their troops, one went north to Jiameng, and the other attacked Zitong to the west.
As for Dianjiang, after Fu Youde finished fighting Jiangzhou, he went to attack by himself.
