The 56th round: The emblem of the encirclement and suppression of the three armies
Sun Wuzhong set out from Guangxin and headed southwest into Hepu County. There are only four counties in Hepu County, two in the east and two in the west, and the four counties are separated by hundreds of miles. The two counties in the east have been captured by Yu Dayou, and the two Hepu in the west are being besieged by Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou.
Don't look at Zhang Yi sent an army of 50,000, but there were not so many who really participated in the battle, because many soldiers were weak because they were not adapted. Fortunately, the soldiers in Jiaozhou were not elite, which made Zhang Yi's army a lot easier.
Lin Fengxiang repaired here in Hepu for a month, also because of this reason.
After Shihui returned to Hepu from Cangwu, he rushed directly to the vicinity of Hepu. After Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou received the news, they immediately divided their troops, Lin Fengxiang continued to surround Hepu, while Yu Dayou went north to block the Shihui on the north side of a river. In the face of Yu Dayou's interception, Shihui didn't care at all.
He commanded his soldiers to cross the river to attack Yu Dayou's army formation, and he was unstable that Yu Dayou's thousands of men could block the impact of 20,000 people, so he was still sure that he could defeat the enemy.
Yu Dayou looked at Shihui's forced crossing like child's play, and couldn't help laughing: "Shihui is so wasteful? Half-crossing is something that any general knows, where does he get his self-confidence? ”
Yu Dayou didn't know that Shihui was Yelang's arrogance, but he would not abandon the victory sent to the door. Shihui's soldiers had crossed more than half of the time, and Yu Dayou gave the order to attack. The bow and crossbow design of thousands of people immediately blocked the soldiers of Shihui in the river.
Although it is a dry season, this small river is about 20 zhang long, and it is also one or two zhang deep. It is also very uncomfortable for a soldier to soak in the water, and if he can't go ashore, he can't always soak here, and if he is slow to move in the water, he will be killed by a bow and arrow sooner or later. They tried their best to move forward, but they were also full of despair when they saw a group of fully armored soldiers suddenly appear on the shore.
After rushing forward for an hour, only a few times did they rush ashore. But before he could gain a foothold on the shore, he was driven down the river.
Shihui watched the soldiers return in defeat, counted the number of people, and found that more than 600 people had been lost. You must know that his team is just a traditional soldier, and it will basically be defeated when it dies. The achievement of 20,000 is 2,000, and more than 600 is one-third of 10. A third of the casualties were killed and wounded in an hour, and if he attacked a little longer, it was estimated that two thousand men might not be able to stop him, and his army might be defeated.
Shi Hui couldn't help but have a cold shiver in his heart, and it was only then that he realized his arrogance. Shihui was frightened, and became much less courageous, and directly set up camp in the north of the river, and then transported grain and grass from Zhulu County in the north.
Shihui stopped in the north, and Yu Dayou didn't care about him. You must know that the more soldiers of Shihui, the more grain and grass he consumes. Although Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou have a long way to go on the grain road, because they were transported by ship, the consumption of grain and grass is smaller than that of Shihui. The grain and grass of Shihui were transported from Zhulu, but because of the lack of development in Jiaozhou, the road was still built by Qin Shi Huang. These roads are in disrepair, and there is a lot of rain in Jiaozhou, so it is very necessary to maintain, so these roads are not very smooth.
Sun Wuzhong came along the Shihui retreat route, so the first target of attack was Zhulu County. After capturing Zhulu County, Sun Wuzhong was equivalent to cutting off Shihui's grain route.
After taking Zhulu County, Sun Wuzhong immediately rushed to Hepu. Not far from Hepu, Sun Wuzhong found Shihui's army. Sun Wuzhong immediately sent someone to contact Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou. After Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou received the news, they immediately discussed.
"General Sun came over from the north, and Shihui didn't know yet. If he attacked Shihui's camp at this time, General Sun would attack from behind, and he might be able to defeat Shihui with one blow. Then we will come back and attack Hepu, and we will be able to go down in one fell swoop. Lin Fengxiang said.
Yu Dayou nodded and said, "Maybe, there were too many soldiers in Shihui before, and we can't guarantee that we can defeat him." Now with the addition of General Sun's soldiers, our soldiers are almost the same as the Shihui. With the elite of our soldiers, defeating the Shihui is completely problematic. ”
"Okay, then it's decided!" Lin Fengxiang said to Sun Wuzhong's envoy: "Then please go back and report to General Sun, and ask him to attack from the rear when we attack Shihui!" ”
The envoy nodded, hurriedly left the camp and returned to Sun Wuzhong's camp, and reported to Sun Wuzhong about Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou's strategy. Sun Wuzhong said that he understood, and asked the soldiers to start recuperating their strength, so that they were still tired when the battle started.
Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou crossed the river from the shallow water area the next day and attacked Shihui's camp.
Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou attacked a little suddenly, and Shihui was very surprised. However, since he was educated to cross the river, Shihui faced up to the enemy and made some precautions. So although the enemy came suddenly, Shihui still dealt with it very well. It's just that the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and Shihui can only take most of the soldiers to the front line.
At this time, Sun Wuzhong approached from the north, directly used the speed of the light soldiers, and directly entered the camp of Shihui. Then the heavy infantry followed and began to storm. In less than a quarter of an hour, the northern part of the Shihui camp was breached. Sun Wuzhong directly commanded the army and slaughtered the battle.
Before Lin Fengxiang and Yu Dayou's attack, Shihui was barely resisting, but now that he is being attacked from both sides, how can he prevent it?
Fortunately, Shihui kept an eye on it, and when Sun Wuzhong attacked, he summoned his personal guards to his side as soon as possible. As soon as he saw that the form was wrong, he immediately fled, and he didn't even want the army.
Not to mention, Shihui's run was really unexpected by Sun Wuzhong. Sun Wuzhong didn't expect Shihui to run so simply, and when he wanted to pursue, he was just in time for the chaos of the army and was blocked by the chaotic soldiers.
After Shihui escaped, it was obviously unrealistic to enter Hepu City, so he simply gritted his teeth and returned directly to Jiaozhi.
As soon as Shihui fled, the 20,000-strong army was leaderless and soon surrendered. Lin Fengxiang and the three of them gathered the defeated army, and then pressed Pucheng.
The soldiers in the city saw that their nephew's 20,000 troops were thrown away, where did they dare to resist, so they simply opened the door and surrendered.
It's not that he doesn't want to resist, there are more than 3,000 people in the city, and they all expect Shihui to come to the rescue! Before, the enemy only had 10,000 points, and he was confident to resist, but now the enemy is more than 30,000, ten times the number of defenders in the city, how can he resist?
Lin Fengxiang was very satisfied with Shi Ji's acquaintance, and after he took over the defense of Hepu, he let Meng Jian enter the city and preside over the overall situation.
