Chapter 360: The Battle of Fucha Mountain Depressed Ji Ling

In the first battle of Fucha Mountain, the Nanyang army Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Pang De defeated the 50,000 Yangzhou army with 12,000 men. The generals of the Yangzhou army, Qiao Rui, were beheaded by Pang Dexiao, more than 20,000 casualties among 50,000 soldiers, and more than 10,000 people were missing, only more than 7,000 people from the former army Lei Bo fled to Shu County, and more than 10,000 people from the rear army Chen Lan fled to Hefei. Mo said that it was Yuan Shu, and even He Xian himself was blinded by the achievements of the three of them.

In the strategy provided by Jia Xu, as long as Wei Yan and the three of them can repel the Qiao Rui army, the latter will drag the Qiao Rui army, otherwise they will successfully meet in Shu County, and the task will be completed. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan, who was a master of art, made such a crazy battle plan. What's more, Xu Huang and Pang De, who have always been steady, even agreed to Wei Yan's idea and went crazy with him!

Putting down the battle report, He Xian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to rush to Shu County day and night!" Otherwise, our three generals, who have just made immortal feats, will be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, but they will become a joke in the whole world! “

He Xian's concerns are not unreasonable.

Zhang Xun, who was guarding Shu County, learned that 50,000 reinforcements were ambushed by the Nanyang Army and suffered heavy casualties, and his friend Qiao Rui was beheaded by the leader, so he immediately went berserk! sent his most powerful generals Li Feng and Lei Bo to lead 10,000 troops each to the area of Fucha Mountain to exterminate Wei Yan's partial division.

Although Wei Yan is extremely brave, his head is not stupid. He knew that this time he was too deceitful, and the Yangzhou army was too ruthless, and the Yangzhou army would definitely not give up. And the remaining less than 10,000 people under his command are mostly slightly injured, and they can't have another hard fight; I want to escape, but I can't bear this heavy armor equipment that I have accumulated with great difficulty. So, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Pang Deyi decided to lead the army into Fucha Mountain.

Xu Huang, who has been a white wave thief, is the most experienced. He ordered his sergeants to search for a stable and reliable source of water on the nine main peaks of Mt. Fucha. Soon, some sergeants reported that a clear and white spring was found on the main peak of Fucha Mountain. White spring round, clear spring square. The spring water is as clear as a mirror, vividly; The round spring water is as bright as jade, and the bottom of the pool is not visible. What's even more amazing is that the water of the spring in the two eyes draws in and flows out, and always maintains a depth of water. After the war horse drinking test, it was determined that the spring water of the two springs was non-toxic and could be drunk by humans. Having found a stable water source, the three generals immediately decided to set up layers of Dazhai and establish a defensive system with the two springs as the center. At the same time, all the food on Fucha Mountain was scavenged and stored in Dazhai. The three generals firmly believed that He Xian would definitely rush over to rescue them as soon as possible after receiving the battle report from Fucha Mountain.

At the same time, Li Feng and Lei Bo followed the trail and found the Nanyang division who had set up camp on Fucha Mountain. In accordance with Zhang Xun's instructions, the two attacked for five days at the expense of casualties. All the way from the halfway of Fucha Mountain to the top of the mountain, laid down the three lines of defense of the Nanyang Army, and lost countless soldiers, but there was always nothing to be done about the last Dazhai.

Five days later, the main force of the Nanyang Army approached Shu County, and Zhang Xun had no choice but to recall Li Feng and Lei Bojun. By the time He Xian sent Zhao Yun to lead his troops to find Fucha Mountain, Wei Yan's division, which had 12,000 men at the time of the expedition, had been reduced to more than 6,000 people. Among them, only about two people were killed when they ambushed Qiaorui, and more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded when they held on to Fucha Mountain. On the one hand, it was because of the shortage of ordnance materials in Wei Yan's department and the lack of medicinal materials for treatment, which led to an increase in the casualty rate; On the other hand, it also shows how fierce the retaliatory counterattack of the Yangzhou army was.

Although the attrition is serious, the remaining 6,000 officers and men are in good spirits. After two major battles, one offensive and one defense, this partial division has already built its own backbone and has the conditions to form an independent army. After discussing with Jia Xu, He Xian decided to use these more than 6,000 people as the backbone to form a new army of 30,000 people, which was separated from the Nanyang Army and named "Fucha"! Wei Yan worshiped from General Xizhong Lang to General Yangwei, and became the first Nanyang general among the five tiger generals of Nanyang to lead an army alone! Although Gan Ning actually commanded the 30,000 Nanyang Naval Army, his official rank was only Captain Changshui, and he could not be regarded as an independent army.

……

Fucha Mountain was defeated, Qiao Rui was killed, 50,000 reinforcements were routed, and less than half were alive. When the news came back to Shouchun, Yuan Shu was horrified, shouting "Qiao Rui misunderstood me", and then wanted to cut Qiao Rui all over the door to vent his anger in his chest. Ji Ling and Yuan Jian risked their lives to admonish, thinking that the defeat of Fuchashan in Nanyang Army was too cunning, and Qiao Rui was decent in terms of operational command, and there was no big fault.

Yan Xiang didn't care about the life and death of Qiao Rui's family, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't indulge Yuan Shu's bad habit of indiscriminately killing the families of his generals. In case, if you do something wrong in the future, it will be too tragic to make Yuan Shu angry and end up with a full house. So, Yan Xiang also stood up to be a favor, and persuaded Yuan Shu to focus on the overall situation on the grounds that it was ominous to kill people before the war. After the efforts of the three of them, they finally held down Yuan Shu's murderous heart.

"Now Qiaorui is defeated, and Shu County is trapped. Lu Bu and Sun Jian are all standing still, and the Nanyang army is aggressive, how should our army deal with itself? Yuan Shu pressed the murderous nature in his heart and anxiously asked his civil and military officials. After losing Qiaorui's 50,000 troops, Shouchun only had 50,000 Yangzhou soldiers under Ji Ling's command. For the sake of safety, Yuan Shu refused to send these 50,000 people to Shouchun again.

"Now that Shouchun's troops are insufficient, you can recruit another 50,000 young men to form a new army!" Yan Xiang knew Yuan Shu's psychology best, and knew that the current Yuan Shu was panicked and insecure. Recruiting a new army and expanding the force can at least bring comfort to the heart.

Ji Ling frowned and was silent. Conscription is not very useful, the huge number of soldiers seems to be very powerful, but in fact it requires a lot of money, food and equipment. These untrained young men, once they are attacked by the enemy, can also become the trigger for rout at any time, triggering uncontrollable fission. But after hitting the wall again and again, the current Ji Ling is no longer the Ji Ling of the past, because the current Yuan Shu is no longer the Yuan Shu of the past.

At the beginning, Ji Ling came to serve in the name of Yuan Shu IV and the Third Duke. At the beginning, Yuan Shu was also a corporal of Lixian and greatly respected Ji Ling's opinion. But since the battle for the captain of the West Garden, Ji Ling was defeated by Wei Yan, Yuan Shu has become more and more neglected by him. would rather trust Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, and Liang Gang, who are not as good as Ji Ling's martial arts, than reuse Ji Ling. After all, the reason is that Ji Ling's temperament is too upright. Always tell the truth, tell the truth, so that Yuan Shu can't bear it. If it weren't for Ji Ling's strength as a first-class general, Yuan Shu would have swept him out of the house long ago.

After Yuan Shu ascended the throne and became emperor, the official of Feng Jiling was only the ruler of Jinwu and the garrison of Shouchun City. Compared with the titles of Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Liang Gang and others, they are more than one level lower. In the face of the bloody reality, Ji Ling, who was once arrogant, has slowly learned to shut up. A martial artist, Shengsheng was ground into a wise and self-protective bag by Yuan Shu.
