434, Bowangpo won a big victory
At this time, the ordinary Cao soldiers beside Xiahou Yuan had already run away.
After Xiahou Yuan killed himself, only three of Xiahou Yuan's ironclad soldiers looked at Xiahou Yuan with sad expressions, and suddenly they all cut their necks with the ring head knife in their hands, and shouted in their mouths, "General, we will accompany you!" β
This scene looks tragic.
"Hmph, it's kind of loyal! Come on, so that he can collect his corpses and follow a certain family to collect and surrender other Cao soldiers! β
Pang Yan looked at it coldly on the side, but snorted coldly, of course, Pang Yan didn't care about what Xiahou Yuan said about revenge, if the army was worried about this, then there was no need to fight at all.
Then Pang Yan turned his head and ordered his soldiers to collect the bodies of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba, as for the bodies of the three ironclad soldiers to accompany Xiahou Yuan temporarily, it didn't matter.
As soon as Xiahou Yuan died, it meant that the defeat of the army sent by Cao Cao to Nanyang this time was decided.
Now there are at least more than 15,000 Cao troops in this Bowangpo, but all the Cao troops have fallen into the ambush trap, and the six or seven thousand Cao troops led by Che Zhou and Le Jin in front of them are also trapped in a desperate situation under the siege of Zhu Wei's ambush army at this moment, and they actually led their troops to retreat into the bait army village that was burned by the fire, but they seem to have some stubborn thoughts for the time being.
As for the death of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba later, the eight or nine thousand Cao soldiers who originally followed them were completely chaotic, and many Cao soldiers began to abandon their weapons and surrender in the sound of surrender around them, so the next step was to clear the remnants of Cao soldiers in Bowangpo.
In addition, the remaining Cao army left in the Cao army camp on the north side of Bowangpo only had 5,000 Cao soldiers and more than 4,000 auxiliary soldiers under the command of Cheng Yu and Xiahou Nan.
But next to this Cao army camp, there are more than 4,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and more than 2,000 Hu soldiers left in the Zhang Xiu Department under the command of Hu Che'er.
Hu Che'er, as Zhang Xiu's confidant, naturally knew about Zhang Xiu's plan to surrender and lure the enemy this time, so at this time, he was also tasked with the task, that is, to wait for an attack on Cao's remaining military village.
Previously, when Xiahou Yuan, Che Guan, Le Jin, and Xiahou Ba were lured into the ambush trap, and Pang Yan led people to reoccupy the Worm Gut Valley Road to cut off the Cao army's retreat, Pang Yan sent Xing Daorong and Yi Ji with nearly 5,000 Xiong Lu battalion swords, shields, and crossbow archers to attack this Cao army camp.
And when Zhu Wei's army was about to arrive, Yi sent someone to contact Hu Che'er, so Hu Che'er also led people to deceive the door of Cao's army camp first.
Even if there was Cheng Yu left behind on the Cao army's side, in the face of the sudden counterattack of the allies around him, the Cao army camp was still broken through without any defense, so Xing Daorong, the 5,000 Xionglu battalion soldiers and horses commanded by Yi and the more than 2,000 Hu soldiers on Hu Che'er's side directly entered the defenseless Cao army camp.
As for the remaining 4,000 Xiliang iron cavalry on Zhang Xiu's side, they were preparing to rob and kill the defeated soldiers of the Cao army outside the Cao army's camp, and they were actually preparing not to let a single Cao soldier escape back to Xudu.
This is the battle of Bowangpo planned by Jia Xu, and it is the perfect strategy planned by a famous "poisoner" in the world.
Of course, Cao Jun was left in the barracks with only one Xiahou Nan, who was not strong, and Cheng Yu, a Confucian military division, and in the face of the army led by the two fierce generals Xing Daorong and Hu Che'er, who broke through the camp, naturally had no strength to resist.
Cheng Yu only gathered more than 2,000 Cao soldiers with Xiahou Nan at the first time, withdrew from the military village, and then retreated to the hills and forests of Bowangpo, all the way to the direction of Qinling.
Obviously, Cheng Yu had already thought of the threat of the four thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Zhang Xiu's army, so he would rather retreat into the mountains than avoid the pursuit of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the flat ground, and then planned to bypass the Qinling Mountains and withdraw to Xu Du.
But Cheng Yu and Xiahou Nan obviously didn't have much experience in marching in the mountains, plus they were defeated and retreated, so they didn't carry much food and other materials at all, so it took them more than a month to cross the Qinling Mountains and return to Xudu, but the remnants of the soldiers they brought back to Xudu were less than three hundred.
Of course, this is a later story, at this time Cao Cao already knew that the army he sent to Nanyang this time had been wiped out, and Cheng Yu, the military advisor, was able to come back safely, which was already a fortunate thing for Cao Cao.
As for Xiahou Nan, the son of Xiahou Yuan, who was later passed on to Xiahou Xuan, he also fell ill when he crossed the Qinling Mountains, and when he returned home, he almost lost half of his life, and basically never went to the battlefield again.
The last remnant of less than 5,000 Cao troops in Bowangpo was led by Che Gao and Le Jinshuai to retreat into the bait military village that had not completely extinguished the fire, but they were surrounded by Zhu Wei's army.
At this time, there were not only more than 20,000 troops in Pang Yan's Xionglu battalion, but also 10,000 light cavalry brought by Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, and more than 13,000 troops from the Chinese military camp led by Zhu Wei himself.
Coupled with the 5,000 troops brought by Zhang Xiu, it can be said that Zhu Wei's troops are enough to spread all over Bowangpo.
As for Che Zhou and Lejin, there are only some remnants of the army who have been ambushed and scattered, and they are in a ruined military village full of smoke and fire, with no water source, no food and grass, and even if they don't fight, they can't hold out for a day.
Therefore, after Pang Yan brought the corpses of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba, although Che Zhou and Le Jin were also Cao Cao's henchmen and generals, they still had to lead their troops to surrender.
So the battle of Bowangpo ended completely.
After Zhu Wei checked the situation of the remnants of Cao's army with the help of the map of the Three Kingdoms game, he did not send people to chase and kill the remnants of Cheng Yu and Xiahou Nan who fled into the mountains, but re-sent people to defend Bowangpo, and then the whole army withdrew to Wancheng to celebrate the achievement.
This time, the more than 20,000 troops sent by Cao Cao were almost completely annihilated, which can be regarded as a great victory.
Of course, in this battle of victory over Cao's army, Jia Xu, as the military advisor who planned the overall strategy behind the scenes, was definitely the first great achievement, and Zhang Xiu personally deceived and lured the enemy It was also a great achievement, as for Pang Yan's battle to kill Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba, it was also a great achievement.
Therefore, after Zhu Wei returned to Wancheng, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds.
For Zhang Xiu, Zhu Wei asked him to still lead a battalion of soldiers and horses, called the Liang Cavalry Battalion, with Hu Che'er as the deputy general, under the jurisdiction of 4,000 Xiliang cavalry, 2,000 Hu soldiers and 5,000 foot soldiers, which is basically the subordinates originally commanded by Zhang Xiu.
Because of Zhang Xiu's special situation, Zhu Wei is not ready to divide Zhang Xiu's army or anything for the time being, anyway, Zhu Wei has already transferred Jia Xu from Zhang Xiu's side, and that Zhang Xiu can't make any waves in theory.
However, the garrison of Zhang Xiu's army could not stay in Wancheng, and Zhu Wei was ready to transfer Zhang Xiu to Jiangxia, and Tai Shici would naturally stay in Jiangdong in the future.
In fact, Jiangxia is richer than Wancheng, so for Zhang Xiu, being transferred to Jiangxia is naturally something he is willing to accept, and he will not think about anything in his heart.
And Zhu Wei also gave Zhang Xiu the task of defending and harassing Lujiang Liu Xun, so that Zhang Xiu would not have nothing to do......
