Chapter Seventy-Eight: Victory in the First Battle
In fact, out of Wuguan, it directly entered the boundary of Jingzhaoyin, from Wuguan to the northwest direction of more than 600 miles (Hanli, now it is about 220 kilometers), through Shangxian, Shangluo will come to Baling, and after Baling is Chang'an. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Wuguan was under the rule of Yuan Shu before, and was later forcibly captured by Liu He's army, for the safety of Chang'an, Li Dao had to send his subordinate Wang Fang to guard Shang County.
This Wang Fang was originally Dong Zhuo's general, after Dong Zhuo was killed, he counterattacked Chang'an with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and was appointed as a captain after the victory, leading the army to garrison Wuguan, but unexpectedly Wang Fang's army had not yet arrived at Wuguan, and heard the news that Wuguan was taken by Yuan Shu first, and Wang Fang had no choice but to ask for orders to garrison Shang County.
"Hehe, this Wang Fang is just a brave man, there is nothing to worry about, we only need to use arrogant tactics to easily seize Shang County and kill Wang Fang."
In the pioneer Li Tong's account, the strategist Cui Jun's face was full of smiles, and he gently offered his words.
"Hehe, I think so too, Mr. Zhou Ping, our troops are divided into three routes, one is led by me, to provoke under the city, and the other is led by General Qiao Rui, and an ambush is set up in the dense forest fifteen miles outside the city, and when the king leads the army to arrive, listen to my orders, and kill the thieves together, and Mr. Zhou Ping leads the third road of soldiers and horses, ambush outside the city, and wait for Wang Fang's army to leave, take advantage of the emptiness in the city, and attack the county town of Shang, everyone, this is the first battle after we came to Guanzhong, we must fight beautifully, please help you here."
Li Tong said as he bowed to Cui Jun, Qiao Rui and others.
Panicked, Cui Jun, Qiao Rui and others all returned the salute and said, "General Wenda, why is this?" Please rest assured, we will do our best to fight this battle well, Wang Fang thief, this time it will be difficult to fly! ”
Li Tong nodded, and led 3,000 cavalry to the city of Shangxian County, and shouted: "Listen to the thief army at the head of the city, I am the rebel general Liu He's antemen, the captain of Fenwu Colonel, Li Tong, who was ordered to conquer the national thieves today, I hope that you will know the obedience and surrender quickly, or maybe Rao Er and others will die, otherwise, you will die without a place to be buried!" ”
After Li Tong's shouting, all the soldiers in the city were angry, and they hurriedly reported the news to the main general Wang Fang, and they also added fuel to the vinegar and said many bad things about Li Tong.
Wang Fang was also furious when he heard this, and when he came to the city to take a look, he immediately smiled and said: "This Li Tong is just a nameless rat, and there are only about 3,000 people under his command, and even the formation is not neat, so he dares to be so arrogant, and see me leading the army out of the city, hanging at the city gate, and also giving Liu and that kid a deterrent, and at the same time letting Li Gong know that he knows my Wang Fang's talent." ”
Then Wang Fang ordered 8,000 cavalry, ordered people to open the city gate, and then shouted: "Ignorant child, dare to shout under my city, do you really think that my Xiliang army is empty?" Today's battle will definitely let you know that it is powerful! ”
Immediately the order was given, and the army attacked.
Only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the majestic Xiliang army immediately killed it like a tide.
Li Tong led the army to resist slightly, and immediately ordered the army to retreat, although his face was panicked, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"The thief was fooled and acted according to the original plan." Li Tong gave a silent order, and then led the army to retreat outside the city.
When Wang Fang saw Li Tong's panicked retreat, he was even more convinced that this was a "stunned youth" army that had not gone through the war, and he just took the opportunity to defeat the other party and add more credit to himself, so he did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved his army to chase down.
After walking for about fifteen miles, I saw that there were dense forests on both sides of the road, but the enemy army slowly stopped, and the leading general Li Tong said with a smile on his face: "Thief Wang Fang, you are ambushed by our army today, it is better to quickly dismount and surrender, otherwise, today is your death date!" ”
Wang Fang is also a long-time battle, as soon as he saw this scene, he immediately knew that he was in a trick, and in a panic in his heart, he immediately ordered to retreat, but at this time, he saw the flag swinging in front of him, and ten thousand crossbows came from the dense forest.
The soldiers under his command were instantly killed and wounded, and the formation was also in chaos.
At this time, Li Tong also led his cavalry to kill.
"Haha, today I will also let you see, what is a real cavalry!"
Li Tong laughed loudly, the spear in his hand was like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and he slaughtered the panicked Xiliang army, and wherever he passed, no one was his enemy.
And the cavalry officers and soldiers under his command were like tigers descending from the mountain, and launched a crazy slaughter against the Xiliang soldiers.
These soldiers are already high-spirited, and under the bonus of Li Tong's skill "cavalry", everyone's combat power is stronger than the most elite Xiliang cavalry, not to mention that these Xiliang soldiers are now in a chaotic formation, and they have no fighting spirit, even when their morale is high, they are not opponents, so now, they are naturally slaughtered one-sidedly!
"I didn't expect the combat effectiveness of this cavalry to be so strong, and my Wang Fang really underestimated the heroes of the world." On the one hand, the king turned his horse and fled, but on the other hand, he regretted in his heart that he really should not underestimate the enemy, so that he had today's fiasco.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when Wang Fang looked back, he saw that it was the enemy's main general, Li Tong, who had killed him alone, and where a gun was, no one could defeat him, and all those who dared to stop it were stabbed to death.
In just a moment, Wang Fang saw Li Tong coming behind him and shouted loudly: "The thief will Wang Fang, surrender quickly, you can avoid death." ”
Wang Fang did not answer, his family members are still in Chang'an, if he surrenders, it is estimated that all the family members will be killed by Li Dao, so he whipped the horses hard, and ran back vigorously, there are still 3,000 soldiers in the city, as long as he comes to the city to close the door, and at the same time ask Li Dao for help, maybe he can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, in that case, although he loses the battle, he will be punished, but he will not have to worry about his life, so at least his family can be reunited.
But this time it was doomed that he had no way to realize his plan, because Li Tong quickly caught up, stabbed him violently in the back with the spear in his hand, directly piercing his heart, and then lifted him high, and laughed loudly: "The Lord is dead, if you don't surrender, when?" ”
Seeing that the other party was so brave, his main general had already died, and he had already lost his will to fight, and the Xiliang cavalry, who had no time to escape, did not dare to resist anymore, and dismounted and surrendered one after another.
Li Tong was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered the deputy general to recruit and surrender troops.
After an hour of work, Li Tong counted the results of this battle, more than 1,000 cavalry under Wang Fang's command died, about 3,000 people fled, and nearly 4,000 surrendered, and they were all skilled Xiliang cavalry, and they also harvested 5,000 complete war horses!
"Haha, quickly send good news to the lord!" Seeing such a satisfactory result, Li Tong was overjoyed, on the one hand, he ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, he personally took two thousand elites to Shangxian County, he believed that after such a long time, Shangxian County should also be captured.
