Chapter 446: Mudslide
That night, Cao Ren and Ma retreated south in two ways, Cao Ren from the west and Ma to the east, and the two groups of men and horses retreated around Issyk-Kul Lake to the Tianshan Mountains.
Early in the morning of the second day, the allies saw the retreat of the Han army, and Zov urgently ordered the left and right army horses to pursue.
At this time, they saw the importance of the strategist, Liu Ye and Zhou Budo unanimously suggested that the army and horses of the headquarters ambush.
The horses and horses did not retreat at all, but even raised all their forces and ambushed them on the mountain road.
The vanguard pursuit of more than 50,000 Allied troops was blocked by horses and the whole army was annihilated.
However, Cao Ren only left a small general to lead 20,000 troops.
This young general is named Hao Zhao.
At this time, Hao Zhao was not even a miscellaneous general, he was only a lieutenant colonel of the Cao Army, but no one dared to take the matter of leading 20,000 people, so Cao Ren casually ordered Hao Zhao to lead the army.
If Yang Xi is here, he only needs to check it to know that this Hao Zhao is powerful.
"In the second year of Taihe (228), Zhuge Liang led the army to the north, but was blocked by Hao Zhao, failed to persuade him to surrender, and was forced to withdraw after attacking day and night for more than 20 days."
This is the official historical record, Hao Zhao was already a general at that time.
Zhuge Liang made several northern expeditions, but was blocked by Hao Zhao once, and Zhuge could not do anything about it, which shows that this person is superior regardless of will or courage.
Hao Zhao led an army of 20,000 and was very excited.
I am not a general, but by chance, I can lead 20,000 troops to block the enemy, but this is an opportunity.
At this time, Hao Zhao didn't even have a strategist by his side, so Hao Zhao took out the map alone and looked at it silently.
Ma Neng ambushed because the east of Issyk-Kul Lake was full of mountains, which was conducive to ambushes, and Cao Ren did not accept Liu Ye's suggestion, because although the altitude of the west of the lake was high, it was mostly flat land, and a flat river was not conducive to ambush.
Hao Zhao looked at the map and felt disappointed, but further west, Hao Zhao saw a river, which Yang Xi actually named Chu River, I don't know what it meant.
But when he saw the Chu River, Hao Zhao's whole person was not good, it turned out that there was a small depression by the river, which was a small basin, which used to be a small lake, but now it has dried up.
Hao Zhao moved his mind and pointed his finger at the dry lake, his fingers trembling a little.
"This is it! It's a matter of success or failure! ”
Due to the large number of Cao Ren in the west, Zoff sent 100,000 troops to pursue, and Hao Zhao decided to entertain him.
And so a vicious plan was born.
Hao Zhao made people erase a trace of Cao Ren's army's march, created the illusion that the army was moving westward, and ordered 15,000 people to use guns as hoes to start digging openings in the Chu River.
Half a day later, the Allied pursuers finally entered the depression with the pots and pans discarded along the road, and Hao Zhao ordered the army to dig the last section of the river.
This is a tragedy, and the Allies never imagined that there would be a flood in this dry Gobi. The river opened a gap, and a large amount of water gushed out, making the gap bigger and bigger.
The Gobi soil is not as hard as the Central Plains, and the sand content is very large.
It was Hao Zhao's river-digging soldiers and horses, and more than 1,000 people were involved in it, and disappeared in an instant.
The mudslide was like a yellow dragon, rushing towards the Allied forces, as if the sky was falling apart, making people desperate.
The Allies were well armed, but they were powerless in the face of the great nature, and their cries and wails spread throughout the depression, but they did not last long before they were silent.
Hao Zhao was also surprised, he didn't expect this to happen at all.
Originally, the river was not big, but with the addition of gravel and sand, it was so fierce that the army of 100,000 disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The water level of this small dry lake gradually rose, and Hao Zhao led the army around the small lake, led the remnants of the army to 19,000, and began a lonely return journey.
At the beginning of June, Yizhou had a major event, Ba County was too guarded by Yu Shao'a, and suddenly Sun Quan's army in Ba County was difficult, and Huang Gai's army and horses were unprepared, cutting 3,000 levels, and Huang Gai led more than ten horses into the mountains, and did not know where to go.
Yu Shao'a scattered 27,000 remnants of the army and merged it into Ba County, and the number of Ba County soldiers and horses increased to 60,000.
But no one knew that Yu Shao'a still had 10,000 new troops in White Emperor City, 15,000 new troops in Savage Mountain, and even had a powerful ally, that is, Meng Huo, Vulture Bone and Yonghong of Savage Mountain.
Yu Shao'a succeeded, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and ordered Yu Shao'a to lead the military horses of Ba County as the east road and take Qiqi County in the south. As for himself, he led the army south from Chengdu, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as generals, and directly attacked Qianwei.
Regarding the changes in Yizhou, Yang Xi disagreed.
These people take it for granted that they can't do anything about it in the face of external pressure.
But Yang Xi did not do anything at the moment.
It's not time yet.
The Great War of Yizhou began, the Great War of the Western Regions was scorching, and the Volga Empire army of Heilong County had already entered the north of Heihebei, engaged three times, and left 70,000 corpses, but failed to break through the rifle defense line, retreated in defeat, and temporarily confronted.
In the Bay of Bengal, Amir no longer naively thought about transporting troops from the sea to Dahan, but turned to the mountain road, intending to cross the Rakhine Mountains and attack the Irrawaddy city in the east.
The whole world, revolving violently around the big man, is like a crazy meat grinder, eager to harvest life.
A movement to save the planet that has turned into a mass killing.
But even this killing can move the course of history. Some people died during this time, and some people were reborn here.
Hao Zhao caught up with Cao Ren's army and handed the battle report to Cao Ren, Cao Ren was pleasantly surprised, and immediately went to Cao Cao and asked Hao Zhao to be the general of Zhenwu.
This General Zhenwu is a four-grade miscellaneous number, this is still in view of Hao Zhao's youth, if he is about thirty years old now, then a three-grade General Pingdi is indispensable.
Of course, this is Cao Ren's idea.
Cao Ren passed on Hao Zhao's military exploits to Cao Cao, and a war correspondent recorded the war in Yang Xi.
Yang Xi personally sent a letter of congratulations, while Cao Cao directly appointed Hao Zhao as the general of Sanpin Pingdi in Yecheng.
Hao Zhaoda.
Cao Ren naturally had no idea about Cao Cao's move, and no matter how Hao Zhao improved, he was also his own general.
Taking advantage of the retreat, the Weixi coalition forces annihilated 150,000 of the enemy's living forces, and the allied forces lost a total of 200,000 horses and 800,000 combatable soldiers in the Western Regions, reducing their strength to 600,000.
Zoff was stunned, Chenhe was cut off a piece of meat by a group of natives before he got out of the horse.
However, the army is less than 200,000, and the pressure on Zov is still less, because the supply pressure of the Allied forces has become smaller, there are fewer people, and there are not so many mouths to eat.
This is, of course, self-soothing.
At the end of June, the Wei and Western coalition forces retreated to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the area around Chigu City was captured by Matun soldiers, and Cao Ren set up camp dozens of miles west of Chigu City.
The Tien Shan, in the southern part of Issyk-Kul Lake, is considered the best to walk, although many of its peaks are covered with snow all year round, but at least there are roads below the mountain.
Zov knew that this section of the road was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, the key was that he had to be bombed by airships every day, and the losses were not small, three or four thousand people were lost every day, all of whom were killed by the black iron ball shells dropped by the airships.
So, Zov divided the army into dozens of groups and stretched the march route as long as possible, so that the bombs dropped by the airship would be meaningless.
Li Tianhong is not a person who surrenders defeat, since the opponent's army will start to dodge as soon as the airship appears, then he will not look for the army's bad luck, but instead set the target on the supply line.
Since the beginning of July, the airship team has been dispatched every day to search for the Allied food, grass and ammunition supply routes, not to mention, so that Zoff's army is so chaotic.
Once, Li Tianhong threw cannonballs on a convoy of baggage, but the reaction was very large.
It turned out that what Li Tianhong found turned out to be the ammunition supply team for muskets. People can hide, but the ammunition truck is not so fast, this is not a truck, but an ordinary flatbed truck, which is pushed by manpower and is not easy to move.
A carload of gunpowder exploded, shaking the valley, killing 20,000 people, and the route was directly blown up to the collapse of the mountain peaks, and avalanches were born on the distant peaks.
