Chapter 351: Hukou Pass Battle
Due to the transfer of troops from each village by Zheng Gu and Yang Chou, Jiang Yiqu's attack was almost not met with much resistance, and there was not much resistance, so he easily broke through the obstacles and approached the Hukou Pass.
The guard of Hukou Pass is Han Juzi, the general of the Yuan army at the beginning, and the middle and upper generals of the Xia army in Taihang, in addition to being born in Montenegro, there are really many generals who surrendered to the Yuan army in Bingzhou. Now against the enemy Yuan Zhao, he is also quite deadly.
When Jiang Yiqu came, the front, middle and rear armies, excluding the casualties, still had more than 2,400 troops. And the Xia army under Han Juzi is only more than a thousand. Zhao Jun's coming, Han Juzi was still able to hold on, but his subordinates were inevitably panicked, for so many years, Xia Zhao had been fighting in the Taihang Mountains, and he had never let him attack Shangdang Chengguan.
Looking at the Zhao army under the city pass, Jiang Yiqu is a person who is really not to be underestimated. But in the face of threats from the back road, it is still so tough to come west, I am afraid there is a problem. Regarding the plan that the two of them informed, Han Juzi did not have much confidence in his heart.
"What are you panicking about, I'll wait for the pass to defend it, just his tired soldiers who have crossed the mountains and mountains, can't attack it!" Han Juzi scolded his subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army.
At the same time, Jiang Yiqu, who was under the city gate, looked at the mouth of the pot, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"General, do you want to attack?"
"Do you still have the strength?" Turning his head to look at the little colonel, Jiang Yiqu slowly turned around: "Retreat ten miles, go down the mountain to the village, and let the soldiers rest well!" ”
After marching for such a long time, many of the soldiers and soldiers under his command were physically and mentally exhausted, including Jiang Yiqu, who was also exhausted, and his expression was full of fatigue.
"Keep an eye on the enemy for me!" Looking at the slowly retreating Zhao Jun, Han Juzi commanded, and then turned around and went down the city wall.
"General, we are now too deep into the party, and we are a lone army, and we are rash in our troops, and our subordinates suggest that we temporarily retreat in order to plan for the future. This time we came to the west, and the results we achieved were big enough! At this time, the subordinates who were relatively calm before secretly asked to see Jiang Yiqu and said Xiangdao.
"How much food is left in the army?" Without answering the rhetorical question, Jiang Yiqu asked softly.
"This is exactly what my subordinates are worried about!" His person said in a deep voice: "After days of consumption, now there are only three days' food left in the army, and the military food in the rear is afraid of being disturbed by the enemy, and it is difficult to reach it because of such a long distance!" General, the current situation of our army is actually not good! ”
"Three days!" Jiang Yiqu muttered: "It should be enough!" ”
He glanced at him scrutinically: "Zijing, not long after you were transferred to the command of this general, you don't show mountain dew on weekdays, and everything you have put forward in recent days is an old word." He day, go through some training, you will be the general of Zhao Gong in other days! ”
When he heard Jiang Yiqu's praise, he didn't show surprise, but continued to ask: "Does the general really not know the situation of our army?" ”
Hearing Jiang Yiqu's words, he seemed to hear something else, and asked with a little expectation: "The general seems to have other arrangements?" ”
"Let the soldiers rest and recuperate, prepare for battle, and send people to search along the road, the Xia army that appeared in Lin Shu should not be far from us!" Jiang Yiqu's eyes were bright and he commanded.
"No!" He was shocked, and bowed down to answer the order. is a smart person, knowing that Jiang Yiqu has a plan.
......
At the end of the western foot of Longxi, along the traces of the march along the Jiangyi Canal, cautiously, sneaked to the top of the mountain. The autumn sun rises high in the sky, the mountains and forests are dense, standing under a huge tree, looking at the Hukou Pass in the distance, and observing the Zhao military camp at the foot of the mountain for a while.
Along the way, he has avoided many Zhao army scouts, and Jiang Yiqu is so careful about the back road.
"Zhao Jun shouldn't have noticed us, let's do it!" Yang Chou said fiercely, after this period of time, he was tired enough.
Subconsciously nodded his head twice, and turned his head to glance at the soldiers under his command, who were not in a good state. I suddenly felt a little nervous in my heart, and thought about it for a moment: "Let the soldiers rest and rest, send someone to make a detour to inform Han Juzi, just say that we are in place, let him go out of the city to cooperate with the attack on the Zhao army!" ”
Waiting until the sun moved west, it was almost sunset, and they couldn't hold it back, so Zheng Gu and Yang Chou began to lead the army, went out of the mountain, solved the Zhao army scouts who were watching, and touched Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying, who had been paying attention to Zhao Gu before, was very calm and normal, and the defense was as tight as it should be.
The battle unfolded at once, and Zheng Gu and Yang Chou split into two groups and launched an attack on Zhao Ying. When Xia Jun revealed his figure, Zhao Jun had already discovered it, and it can be said that he had discovered this Xia army earlier.
"General, the Xia army has attacked!" Recruit the voice of the Jiang Yi channel.
From the moment he heard the news, Jiang Yiqu quickly rushed to the front of the camp, and solemnly stared at the Xia army rushing towards his camp on the left and right flanks: "Block!" ”
Wei and Yang led the army and launched a surprise attack, although the Zhao army had already prepared, Jiang Yiqu had some strength, and the Xia army who were assaulted had the upper hand. The gate of the camp was broken and the fortress was attacked.
Seeing that he had the upper hand and suppressed the Zhao army, he was still apprehensive and let go, and ordered to strengthen the attack. Jiang Yiqu, on the other hand, cooperated with the shrinking of his forces and defended it according to the Chinese army barracks.
The offensive of the Xia army was difficult to be like a tide, and it could not be overwhelming, under the command of Jiang Yiqu and the colonels, grandma resisted the attack of Wei and Yang.
The high-intensity attack lasted for a full hour, and for the Xia army, the value of the surprise attack had long been lost, and it had become a brutal attack. Seeing that the sun was about to fall, and Zhao Jun was getting more and more stable, he was a little anxious.
While directing the attack, he looked at the Hukou Pass in the distance, full of expectations. It's been so long since this side launched an attack, and there is still no movement on Han Juzi's side, and he is a little anxious.
On Zhao Jun's side, Jiang Yiqu also stared at the Hukou Pass behind him from time to time and glanced a few times.
At this juncture, Han Juzi was dressed in military uniform, looking at Zhao Ying coldly. And from the time he sent a messenger from the other side of the city, he went up to the city to investigate. Until now, the fighting over there has been blazing, and it has not been weakened, and the two of them have obviously suffered a setback.
Zhao Jun, where is it so easy to attack, Han Juzi scolded secretly.
"General, do you want to send out the army and flank the Zhao army?" The subordinate Colonel asked.
Hearing this, Han Juzi clenched the sword at his waist, and hesitation flashed on his face: "Wait!" ”
As the sun set, the surroundings dimmed, and the vision was no longer clear.
"General, are you still not sending troops?"
"Shut up!" Han Juzi turned his head and scolded angrily. According to the female wall, looking into the distance, the sound of fighting in the distance has weakened a lot.
Han Juzi has already made up his mind not to send troops to keep Hukou Pass. As for Wei and Yang, ask for more blessings, Han Juzi thought silently in his heart.
Looking back at it again, there was still no movement in the Hukou Pass of the single room, and Jiang Yiqu knew that the enemy in this pass could not be lured. With pity on his face, he instructed the soldiers around him: "General Chunyu, you can do it!" ”
It didn't take long for a Zhao army to emerge after the Xia army, which was the Chun Yuqiong army stationed in Lin Ji, and Jiang Yiqu did not spare any effort and began to launch a counterattack.
Su Gu wanted to cooperate with the Hukou defenders to flank Jiang Yiqu, but he didn't know that Jiang Yiqu also wanted to flank the two. In such a situation, the Xia army could not stop it at all, and was quickly defeated and fled in all directions.
As for the two of them, Zheng Gu and Yang Chou were killed in battle, and Yang Chou was injured and absconded.
In the next battle of Hukou Pass, the Zhao army won a complete victory, and the Xia army lost 2,000 soldiers, and there were only more than 300 survivors. Jiang Yiqu and Chun Yuqiong can be regarded as making a good start for Yuan Shao's summer.
As for Han Juzi who was closing the mouth of the pot, seeing that Zhao Jun did have a trick, the defeat of Wei and Yang made him afraid, and the pressure was even greater. Zhao Jun outside the gate, how can he resist now?
