Chapter 520: Defection to the Western Army
Chapter 520 defected to the Western Army
"You didn't go burn the grain?" Waiting for the general to run closer, Li Cheng asked.
Na Jiang smiled reluctantly: "I thought to myself, I don't need so many people to burn grain, so I ......" Li Cheng was anxious and annoyed when he heard this, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Let's go, quickly organize your team and follow behind"
This side rushed to cross the river, and the coalition camp was already in chaos. As soon as the anti-water Korean army put the fire out, and then howled "the western army touches the camp", it immediately woke up the friendly troops in many nearby camps, and the generals urged the soldiers to pick up their equipment and prepare for self-defense, and sent people to Pegasus to go to the Chinese army camp to ask Han Changke to wait left and right, only to see the fire everywhere, and did not find where to fight
said that this night, Han Chang never slept. After Zhu Jiguan, it lasted more than two months, not only did not the pass break, but even became more and more tricky. Now that the morale of the army is sluggish, and the generals have many complaints, if it continues like this, I am afraid there is no other better way than to retreat back to Chang'an.
But how willing is Han Chang? In his early years, he and his father Han Qinghe led the Han'er army to fight everywhere, and later the Jurchens of Liaodong were shocked, and he and his father were both generals, conquering Liao, attacking the Song Dynasty, and they were several pioneers, and they have been very important. At that time, the Eastern Route Army, which the second prince could not leave, was trapped by the Western Army in Huazhou, and his father conspired to defect and was arrested. At that time, he had been tied up and sent to the downtown area, and he was about to be beheaded, but the second prince thought about the hard work of his father and son, and left people under the knife, and after escaping back to Zhending Mansion, he was not used.
Later, due to the development of the current situation, he was promoted by Sticky Han to go out of the mountain again, and has been the golden marshal of Shaanxi until today. But now, his backer, the sticky Han of the Han Dynasty Wanyan Zonghan, has lost power in the court, and he is oppressed by the fourth prince Zongbi's confidant Chi Zhanhui......
When he was tossing and turning, the generals crowded into the tent and exclaimed that there was a change in the camp. He jumped up, looked out of the tent, and saw the fire in the southwest corner, thinking that the western army was coming to touch the camp, and hurriedly sent the Jin army to resist.
But the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Zhu Jiguan was more than ten miles away from his camp, there was no obstruction in the middle, it was flat, how could the Western Army dare to come and attack? Again, with the situation of Zhu Ji Pass, its garrison must not be much, and my huge battalion of more than 100,000 troops, the guards on the pass will eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?
"Report to the Korean Army, Li Cheng and other troops, take advantage of the fire, leave the camp, and throw themselves into Weishui" came on several flying horses, reporting the situation one after another.
Han Chang, who was outside the tent, slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth and said, "The traitor harmed me"
Li Cheng and others will run away because they defected to Xu Wei, and as the commander-in-chief, Han Chang, who could not escape the annoyance and anger of the involvement, immediately ordered: "Mobilize two thousand horse troops, quickly pursue those who do not obey orders, and kill them on the spot."
As soon as the cavalry left, he still felt uneasy, and personally led the elite cavalry to pursue the coalition camp, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a while......
Speaking of Li Cheng's side, his troops have not completely crossed the river, but there are more and more soldiers and horses chasing after him. What is surprising is that the team behind is not a pursuer, but all the generals of the Korean army who made an appointment with him to start an incident, none of them went to the grain camp, and they only cared about taking their troops to escape
Li Cheng thought to himself that so many soldiers and horses flocked to the pontoon bridge at the same time, and when Han Chang sent troops to chase after him, he would definitely not be able to cross all of them to this point, so he didn't think about it, didn't care about others, and fled to the other side of the pontoon bridge. As soon as he left, the other generals commanded the troops to squeeze the pontoon bridge, which was no more than a foot wide, if he could cross tens of millions of soldiers and horses at one time? Many people were just squeezed into the water
"It's not good, the chasers are coming, the chasers are coming"
Suddenly, the soldiers of the South Korean army who were crowded at the head of the bridge shouted loudly, and the others were so shocked that they couldn't choose the way to go, and they couldn't squeeze into the pontoon bridge, so they ran into the water, and they couldn't help it, and they fled to the east and west
The roaring hooves shook the four wild Jin army elite cavalry to cover and kill the bridge, thousands of Korean soldiers few resisted, either tied to death, or rushed into the water, drowning in large numbers, when the cavalry slammed up, the people and horses who could not cross the pontoon bridge suddenly scattered and wailed, which was terrifying
Li Cheng was shocked to pull the south bank of Weishui, looking at the tragic scene on the north bank from afar, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim happiness.
"It's over, it's all over," he said, crying.
"I have no choice but to resign myself to fate, burn the bridge," Li Cheng said wildly
"Don't you see that the friendly forces are still stealing your fire, and countless lives will be lost," that would have blocked.
"If you don't burn the bridge, will you wait for Han Chang to chase after this, and return the kindness of the woman," Li Cheng howled.
"Let's go first, the Jin army will definitely not be able to catch up with the brothers behind and let the brothers behind resign themselves to fate."
Li Cheng refused to allow it in every way, until the general promised that he would go first and break off himself, Li Cheng did not dare to hesitate, and ordered the troops to quickly move westward and go straight to Baoji
Zhu Ji closed, Xu Sheng and Wu Xuan were full of doubts, and they were speechless, this, what's the matter?
Qinzhou, Shaanxi Preparation Department.
Before the five horses galloped to the yamen, the knights jumped off the horses one after another, one of them was about thirty years old, with peugeot features, two beards, a pair of eyes that were not big, but shining, and the body was not long, but extremely strong. Dressed in armor and hanging a sword at his waist, he shouted at the guards as soon as he got off his horse: "Xihe Yao Bilong has been ordered to come and ask for the Xianggong on his behalf."
The guards heard the news and entered, and rushed out of the door after a short time: "Xianggong Junzhi, Yao Bilong and others will come in"
At that moment, Yao Bilong led the four generals, stepped into the yamen, and was led to the flower hall by the guards. To their surprise, Xu Wei, dressed in a purple robe and tied with a gold belt around his waist, was already sitting in the hall one step ahead of the five of them.
Quickly stepped forward, each saluted: "I have seen the system and the minister"
"No sitting" Xu Wei spoke very quickly, obviously in a good mood.
After the five people sat down according to the military rank, Yao Bilong arched his hand and said: "I am humbled by the order of Xihe Shuai, leading 6,000 infantry troops and 2,000 horse troops, and come to listen to the dispatch of the prime minister."
"It's a good puppet dynasty rebel army to invade the border, and it has been hit by the soldiers of our Western Army at the right time," Xu Wei slapped his palm on the arm of the chair, and said with a bright face.
Yao Bilong and other Xihe generals have been in the rear, and they don't know how the front line is playing. But looking at Xu Zhizhi's appearance, it seems that the battle situation is in my favor?
This is indeed the case, Xu Wei has just received a military report. Jingyuan Marshal Xu Yuan originally retreated to the front line of Qingyang Mansion and joined forces with the Huanqing Army to defend. Zhang Jun seemed to be afraid of this old commander, and marched to Fengchuan Town in the northeast corner of Qingyang Mansion, and the two armies fought. Xu Cheng took the "stacked array" as the basis, Buqiang crossbow took turns to shoot the Korean army offensive, and from the two wings of the heavy army to fight from morning to noon, the Korean army gradually lost support At this time, Yang Rong, a descendant of the Yang family, led 800 horsemen through the enemy formation, and directly attacked the Chinese army where Zhang Jun was, claiming to capture the traitor alive
Zhang Jun was defeated, Xu Yuan took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and chased him until Liyuan Fort before he reined in the troops. In the battle, more than 5,000 ranks were killed, nearly 10,000 Korean soldiers were captured, hundreds of Jin troops were captured, and many ordnance and horses were captured. Of course, among the captives, a considerable part of them were the original soldiers of Yuan Jing and Huanqing who took the initiative to defect. As a result of this battle, the situation in the Huanqing Theater was fundamentally reversed. Zhang Jun is still in Dashun City, and I am afraid that he will not have the strength to organize a large-scale attack again.
In Fengxiang Mansion, the Jin-Han coalition army could not attack Zhu Ji Pass for a long time, and morale was low. And the voice of the Fengxiang garrison seeking war is gradually rising, and Yang Yan, the commander of the capital, has reported to the commander, suggesting that he increase his troops and organize an active counterattack. Xu Wei dispatched Xihe soldiers to come, precisely for this reason
After Haosheng encouraged Yao Bilong and other Xihe generals, he ordered them to rest outside Qinzhou City for a while and wait for further orders.
After Yao Bilong and the others left, Xu Wei did not leave, he was still sitting in the hall, holding a teacup in his hand, but he didn't drink a sip, thinking about something......
Yang Yan reported and proposed to take the initiative, although he also thought it was feasible, but he had not fully made up his mind until now. After all, now is not the time to have 80,000 soldiers. The defeat of Yanzhou two years ago is still vivid, and now Qin Feng's army is only more than 30,000 people, even if it is supported by Xihe Yao Pingzhong and the fourth brother and the fifth brother, and then some of the volunteers are counted, compared with the enemy, the difference in strength is still huge.
Those who are good at fighting do not worry about victory, but first think about defeat. If he takes the initiative to attack and loses, Feng Xiang will be in danger. At present, Xu Yuan has won the victory in Qingyang Mansion, although he did not completely defeat Zhang Jun and expel the enemy, but at least Zhang Jun was hurt and stabilized the situation in Huanqing.
In this case, the safest way, Qin Feng should continue to stick to it. Consume it until the opponent's morale is weakened, the army's morale is shaken, or it is consumed until the opponent's food is exhausted and retreats. But having said that, while it is safe to do so, it is also negative.
"Handsome? Handsome? ”
Xu Wei turned his head sideways and found that Wu Jue was actually standing in front of him, and for a moment he blurted out, "When did you come?" ”
Wu Jinqing smiled bitterly: "What did Xianggong think, he was out of his mind?" ”
Xu Wei put down the teacup, got up slowly, and said, "It's not what Yang Yan said, I'm thinking about it, and I haven't made up my mind yet." ”
Wu Jue suddenly smiled mysteriously: "There is someone who may be able to help the Prime Minister make up his mind." ”
Xu Wei knew that his words were definitely not for no reason, so he quickly asked, "Who?" ”
"It's Xianggong's nephew, deputy commander of the Liangxing Pacification Division, Xu Zhong." Wu Jue replied.
Xu Zhong? He is a small deputy commander, and he is not a middle-level officer, how can he help me make up my mind? Xu Jiu then asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
"The other person is outside the hall, why don't you ask him personally?" Wu Jue said.
Xu Wei frowned, couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Where?" ”
"Xu Zhong, come in." Wu Jue shouted loudly.
Sure enough, a person came out of the outer door of the hall, less than twenty years old, and his body was still a little thin, as if he couldn't support the armor on his body. But he is obviously a general, walking between dragons and tigers, armor sonorous, and has a majesty of his own. Tian is Xu Si's eldest son and Xu Jiu's nephew, Xu Zhong.
