One hundred and thirty-nine Either you die or I die
Looking at the Wei army running and shouting in the firelight, Fang Li's fear of Pang Juan, a famous general of the Warring States Period, gradually disappeared.
"It seems that this Pang Juan is slightly stronger than Zhang Liao and Cao Ren in the Three Kingdoms, but thanks to the strength of the Wei State, it seems that the widow is a little afraid of the enemy like a tiger!"
Looking over Pang Juan's exploits, in addition to defeating the Qi army, that is, defeating the surrounding small states such as Chen, Wei, and Zheng for the Wei State, there are no other exploits worthy of special mention. And if these small countries are put in the Three Kingdoms period for comparison, I am afraid that they may not be stronger than Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu and other princes.
"Inquire about Pang Juan's four-dimensional for the widow?"
Fang Li took advantage of the fact that the surrounding generals were looking into the distance, and quietly gave instructions to the system in his mind with his mind.
The system starts: "Qiang...... Pang Juan - Domination 94, Wu Yong 73, Strategy 92, Internal Affairs 78."
"Oh...... It seems that my understanding is still biased, Pang Juan's force cannot be compared with Zhang Liao and Cao Ren, but his strategy is much stronger, to be precise, it is more like a weakened version of Zhou Yu. ”
The tyrannosaurus in the firelight was tall, carrying a sledgehammer and moving around, which was particularly eye-catching, Fang Li once again gave instructions to the system: "Inquire about the four dimensions of that big man again, and see if it is a mule or a horse?" ”
"Qiang ...... Wei General Tyrannosaurus - Domination 73, Wu Yong 96, Strategy 45, Internal Affairs 27."
Fang Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he groaned in his heart: "96's Wu Yong and Jiang Batian are between the best, this person is probably the number one general of the Wei State, right?" In the future, when you deal with it carefully, it seems that Zilong and Dian Wei can beat him. ”
As time passed, the fire in the Tang camp gradually burned out, and the Wei army, which was in disarray, cheered up a little, and regrouped while fighting fires and saving people under the command of Pang Juan.
Cao Cao reminded Fang Lidao: "Although the Wei army was attacked by fire, it looked like the loss of chariots was no more than 1,000 times, horses were only 2,000, and troops were only 5,000. The vitality is not damaged, the strength is still there, our army is still unable to compete head-on, it is better to temporarily join forces with Zhou Gongjin, and wait for the arrival of Chu reinforcements before making plans. ”
"Then join forces with Zhou Gongjin for the time being, and the widow has his own plan to break Wei!"
With Fang Li's order, nearly 20,000 Tang troops began to move their positions to the east and sent scouts to contact Zhou Yu.
Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, Pang Juan suffered a big loss under Fang Li's men, for fear that there would be an ambush, and he did not dare to rashly launch an attack again.
Although the Wei army's strength was still far above Fang Li, they could only watch the Tang army go away, but they only sent scouts to bite tightly and monitor the Tang army's movements.
Just when Pang Juan led 3,000 chariots to storm Fangli's camp, Le Yang was also ordered to lead 25,000 Wei troops to leave Yongcheng and ambush Zhou Yu's reinforcements halfway.
"The chariot of the Wei army is powerful on the plains, and the strategy of the lord will never fight hard with it, so our army does not need support at all!"
After receiving the news that Pang Juan led 3,000 chariots and 60,000 Wei troops to attack Fang Li's camp, Zhou Yu did not panic at all, and made arrangements calmly, "And even if our two armies are united, we will not be able to confront Pang Juan's chariot head-on, but will fall into the hands of Pang Juan to concentrate his forces for a decisive battle." ”
Ma Dai stood in front of the tent and looked northwest at the Fangli camp thirty miles away, and could already vaguely see the light of the Wei army's torches, and asked worriedly: "Pang Juan's troops are as many as 60,000, three times that of the lord, we can't watch from the wall here, right?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled: "Of course not, I expected that most of Leyang had already sent troops from Yongcheng to ambush our army halfway at this moment, and the city must be empty." You and I led our troops to kill Ben Yongcheng, and we will definitely have some gains. ”
When Zhou Yu ordered Ma Dai and Zhu Rong, who was ordered to rush to help, to serve as the vanguard, self-command the Chinese army, lead 30,000 Tang troops to camp overnight, and quietly kill Yongcheng, which is forty miles away.
An hour and a half later, 30,000 Tang troops quietly appeared in the northeast of Yongcheng under the cover of night, broke through the city gate in one fell swoop under the leadership of Ma Dai and Zhu Rong, and entered the city like a tide.
Deng Lu, the Wei general who stayed to guard Yongcheng, saw that the Tang army was strong, and he expected that he would not be able to resist it, so he simply took the initiative to lead his troops to evacuate.
Zhou Yu waved his army to chase and kill more than ten miles, and killed more than 500 Wei soldiers under the leadership of Ma Dai and Zhu Rong, fearing that the main force of the Wei army would come to support, so Mingjin retreated to Yongcheng, and sent scouts to report his departure.
Knowing that Zhou Yu had recaptured Yongcheng, Fang Li and Cao Cao immediately led their troops north into the city and defended the city. On the one hand, he waited for the news of the Han army's attack on Wei, and on the other hand, he waited for 100,000 Chu troops to come to help.
Yongcheng is only a county seat, and it does not have much strategic value, and Leyang is just temporarily stationed here, so it is not distressing to lose it. After collecting Deng Lu's defeated soldiers, he joined forces with Pang Juan, set up a large camp in the south of Yongcheng, and confronted the nearly 50,000 Tang troops in the city.
Pang Juan has been out of the army for half a month, except for taking a few small counties in the east of the Tang Kingdom, he has not made any gains, but has continuously lost troops and generals. First, more than 9,000 people were killed under Pinglu City, and 5,000 soldiers and horses and 700 chariots were lost last night, resulting in a depressed mood and no way to break the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, a messenger arrived from Yecheng with a letter from Weis, informing Pang Juan that Han General Storm Kite was leading 70,000 Han troops to attack Wei Daliang, and the scouts in the south also sent unfavorable news that Xiong Lu had sent Tang Mo and Yang Youji to lead 100,000 Chu troops north to aid Tang, hoping that Pang Juan could withdraw his troops and return to China.
"The war is far from getting worse to this point, Pang Juan would rather die than retreat!"
After reading the letter, Pang Juan refused to withdraw his troops, and said to Leyang, Long Jia, Deng Lu and other generals: "We have been sending troops for more than half a month, but we have not achieved an inch, but we have lost 15,000 soldiers and horses, 700 chariots, and more than 2,000 war horses. Wouldn't the disgraced collection of troops and return to the country be laughed at by the Manchu civil and military forces? ”
Le Yang said with a worried face: "The storm kite attack on Daliang is very urgent, the 100,000 Chu army is menacing, and the Tang army is almost undamaged, if it is attacked from the front and rear, I am afraid that it will suffer greater losses." ”
Pang Juan confidently analyzed: "Brother Le, rest assured, Han Wu has been afraid of Han Fei for a long time, and this time because Han Fei was captured and sent out of the army, it is expected that it is just for show." There are still 130,000 soldiers and horses in the country, and there are Wuji Gongzi and Wei Yu in charge, and the violent kite can't get any advantage, and I guess it won't take half a month for the Korean army to retreat. ”
"What Pang Shuai said is not unreasonable, but even if the Han army retreats, there are still 100,000 Chu troops in the south! If the 100,000 Chu army and the 50,000 Tang army unite and attack from the front and rear, how will our army deal with it? Adjutant General Long Jia raised his own questions.
Pang Juan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Xiong Lu is a scheming man, and he will definitely not let the Chu army fight our army head-on, and most of them will focus on solidarity." Moreover, the Chu army is still far away, and it will not be able to cross the Yellow River in ten days and a half months, and it will not be too late for our army to retreat after the Chu army arrives at the bank of the Yellow River. ”
After a pause, Pang Juan said again: "Besides, the state of Chu dispatched 300,000 troops at once, attacking the Song Dynasty and aiding the Tang Dynasty, and the movement was so big, I guess the Great Qin in the west will never stand still." ”
Hearing Pang Juan mention that the Qin State might send troops, all the generals, including Le Yang and Long Jia, were in high spirits, and they all said: "If the Qin State is willing to attack the Chu State, it will definitely be great news for our army!" ”
Pang Juan said with a smile: "Wait and see the show, the Qin State has trained 500,000 male teachers from Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Meng Tian and others over the years, and there has been constant friction with the Chu State in recent years. Last year, he sent someone to rob Fang Li's Li Ji who was dedicated to Xiong Lu, which led to a deeper grudge between the two countries, and in the case of the Chu State's large-scale use of troops, the Duke of Qin would never stand idly by! ”
After listening to Pang Juan's analysis, Le Yang and other generals said in unison: "Since General Pang has seen the situation so thoroughly, then our army does not have to retreat for the time being." Let's see if Han Wu will attack Daliang with all his might, and it will not be too late to retreat when the Chu reinforcements reach the south bank of the Yellow River! ”
Pang Juan immediately wrote a letter to Wei Sixiu, recounting his opinions, so that Wei Hou did not have to worry about the safety of this army, and he would not cut off the head of Zhou Yu and swear not to retreat!
After the envoy of Wei left with letters, Pang Juan summoned one hundred and ten generals under his command and said loudly: "I have nearly four million people in Great Wei, and more than 200,000 with armor, even Qi and Qin are also sideways, let me have three points in Great Wei." This time, Pang Mou lost his troops in the small Tang Kingdom, so how can I save face? ”
As he spoke, Pang Juan drew his sword and cut off the corner of the table, and swore: "The Tang army killed my soldiers and burned my chariot, this revenge is not shared!" If I can't cut off the head of the detached person and bring it back to Yecheng this time, I, Pang Juan, will be like this! ”
