Chapter 192: Zhang Yan's army is defeated
On the west side of Tongyi County, separated by five miles, Xubu Chiyi backs the mountain and sets up a village. He was secretly ordered by Liu Yuan this time, and led the army over the mountains and mountains to attack, originally wanting to hit the Han army by surprise, but who expected that there would be good generals in Tongluo, and the reaction was fast, and under one blow, the city could not be broken.
"Lord Sima! The Han army is on guard, and if our army wants to trap the city easily, I'm afraid it will be difficult! In the tent of the Chinese army, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and several Xia Army officers sat down, looking at Xu Bu Chiyi, who was studying the map and thinking, Cao Xing spoke up.
Looking at Xu Bu Chiyi who was sitting on the case, Cao Xing and Cheng Lian were very respectful, this Hun Da Sima did not have the "barbarian" atmosphere of Hulu on his body, but he had a Confucian demeanor all over his body. Since returning to Liu Yuan, under his command, they have been quite comfortable, and under the training of Xu Bu Chiyi, the two of them have been promoted a lot, and they are slowly transforming from low-level officers to middle- and upper-level officers.
"No hurry!" Xu Bu Chiyi straightened his body, his eyes showed a bright light, he thought for a while and ordered: "Cheng Lian, you lead a thousand troops to the south to sweep the villages and towns in the heart of the party, remember, the purpose is not to plunder, give me a big momentum, the bigger the better." The troops in Shangdang County are weak, but you still need to be careful! ”
"No!" Cheng Lian got up and promised.
Turning his head to look at Cao Xing: "You lead the army of five hundred, deploy the area of Yangtou Mountain to the west, and monitor the Han army in Taiyuan County." If you see him return to the army, report it immediately! ”
This time, the 4,000 cavalry soldiers of the Xubu Chiti Infantry came only to put this fire behind the butt of the coalition army, not to conquer the city, and whether they can take the copper slot is not very important.
"Let's do it first! The rest of you will camp here with me, and you will train the soldiers well! ”
"No!"
……
On the west bank of Jinshui, the sound of killing was everywhere, and Zhang Yan ordered his Black Mountain Army to attack the city again. The Montenegrin army was poorly equipped, the soldiers were uneven, and there was a lack of siege equipment, even if there were many people, it was difficult to attack the city, and the city was killed and wounded heavily.
Su Li was at the head of the city, with a grim face, staring blankly at the enemy soldiers under the city who were driving away the enemy soldiers who were rushing into the city by the Black Mountain officers. Methodically commanded the defenders to counterattack, rested for a long time, Zhang Yan launched a fierce attack on Jinyang again, today, from the time of Chen, to now the sun is almost set, there is no sign of a stoppage.
The pressure on Su Li's side is also really huge, the casualties of the guards have reached nearly a thousand, the number of soldiers has decreased, and there are more holes in the defense, but fortunately it can still be stabilized.
Zhang Yan's side gathered all the soldiers and horses at the east gate, intending to break the city with all his might. But now it seems that his plan has failed, and as far as Zhang Yan feels, as the fighting continues, the resistance of the defenders in the city can become more and more tough.
"Yang Feng, Zhang Sheng! Divide 3,000 troops with the two of you, go to the north gate, and try to attack! Dongcheng must not advance, Zhang Yan was irritable, and ordered: "The rest of the people, let me continue to attack, Jinyang's troops are weak, I don't believe that I can't break it!" ”
Su Li in the city saw a wave of people breaking away from Zhang Yan's formation and heading north, and sneered: "I only think of dividing the troops now, it's too late!" ”
On Zhang Yan's side, although he was desperate to break through the city, it was a pity that the troops were exhausted, and even if he urged him a few times, the effect was still not obvious. Under the eastern city of Jinyang, the corpses of the Black Mountain sergeants were already piled up, and the moat was completely dyed red, many corpses floated on it, but the surrounding killing sound was still not stopped.
"General! The two leaders, Yang Feng and Zhang Sheng, led the army outside the north gate, and were attacked by the Xia army's cavalry, and they were defeated! There was a little pawn who rushed to Zhang Yan's side in a panic and said.
"What! Damn it! Zhang Yan's face flashed with anger. It's Xia Qi again, during this time, Zhang Yan can be regarded as understanding what Yuan Shao's Nagan princes said, what is going on with the cavalry army that is difficult for the Xia army to deal with.
Just those two thousand horses, it bothered Zhang Yan very much. When attacking the city, from time to time, he suddenly rushed out, from the south, from the north, in different directions, attacking his rear army, just not letting him attack the city with peace of mind. So that every time Zhang Yan attacked the city, he had to leave a large number of soldiers to deal with the attack of the enemy cavalry.
It was impossible to attack with all his strength, which was one of the reasons why it was difficult for Zhang Yan to go down to the city. Fang was anxious, and rashly sent Yang and Zhang to the north, but ignored the enemy horsemen. The three thousand Montenegrin army, which had little defense, and the iron hooves of the Xia army, which had little resistance and were defeated by a single blow.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yan to see Yang Feng and Zhang Sheng leading the defeated army back in embarrassment, and there were more than 1,000 Xia cavalry hanging behind them. Although Zhang Yan was irresistibly angry in her heart, she had no intention of criticizing the two of them.
The sun drooped again, and the entire Jinyang was shrouded in a faint yellow light. Looking at the past from Zhang Yan's point of view, the city tower in Dongcheng covered half of the sunset, and in the distance, there was already a faint black curtain.
"General, it's getting dark, let's withdraw!" A subordinate leader persuaded.
Zhang Yan gritted her teeth, her voice was a little low, and she ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
"Ding Ding Ding" sounded gold, and the Montenegrin army besieging the city did not want to rush to the city for a long time, and retreated backwards as if it was free. Zhang Yan led the army to slowly return to the camp, and he had to face the infestation of the summer cavalry.
The exhausted Montenegrin sergeant returned to the camp and made a fire to make food, Zhang Yan summoned the Montenegrin general to the tent, sat down, and slammed the whip on the handsome case: "This Jinyang, how can it be so difficult!" ”
"General, the last general really doesn't know, why did you lead my Black Mountain Erlang to wade into this troubled water!" Yang Feng was under him, full of puzzlement and asked: "The princes of Nagan look down on us, our army is fighting fiercely here, but there is no action in the south, what is this for!" ”
"I don't know, but do you want to stay in the reckless mountains for the rest of your life and be that 'black mountain thief'!" Questioned by Yang Feng, Zhang Yan was a little unwilling and angry in his eyes, and replied: "General, this is also trying to find a breakthrough for my Black Mountain Army!" ”
This time, going down the mountain to deal with the Xia army, Zhang Yan just wants to correct the name of the Montenegrin army, if the reputation of fighting against foreign races spreads, he is a son of Montenegro, and his back can be straightened. But now, the effect doesn't seem to be very good, and the contempt of the princes is over, and the death and injury of his sons and daughters make Zhang Yan feel distressed.
"Yuan Shao in the south, do they have any news?" There was silence in the tent for a long time, and Zhang Yan asked in a voice.
"Nope!"
"Go down, let the soldiers rest, and strengthen the patrol and garrison!" After thinking about it, there was no useful information, and he couldn't come up with a reason, so Zhang Yan commanded helplessly.
Zhang Yan didn't know that there was a group of rats and ants in the north, and Liu Yuan had already sent elite scouts to block the news from the north and the south.
On this night, Fugu Huaijing led 3,000 northern troops to quietly sneak to the north and south of Zhang Yan's camp and hid, and got in touch with Su Li in the city. In the north, Dugusheng and Da Xiling also quietly led the army to the south early and hid in the north.
And Zhang Yan was ignorant of all this, and the scouts he sent were quietly wiped out by the Xia army.
At the appointed time, several Xia troops launched a surprise attack at night, the Montenegrin army was unaware, and the camp was instantly broken down, and the Montenegrin army was in chaos.
Under its leadership, the Northern Army, which released all its combat power, galloped through the camp of Montenegro, wantonly killing, overturning the sea and turning the river, and crushing Zhang Yan into an army.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Zhang Yan had to order to scatter and flee, and he led his pro-army to desperately flee to the east and flee in the wilderness, while the Black Mountain Army was completely scattered like birds and beasts.
When Liu Yuan led the army back to Jinyang, the war was already over. According to the battle report, the Montenegrin army was defeated, Zhang Yan was freed, Yang Feng, Zhang Sheng and other leaders were captured, and the Xia army won a complete victory, collecting more than 7,000 surrenders. The people who followed Zhang Yan out of the mountain were all elite Montenegro, and this defeat made him break his muscles and bones.
