Chapter 258: Trapped in the water
After ten days of marching, although Liu Qi's army was almost cut off from food, and some heavy weapons such as crossbows were not brought, these 30,000 soldiers were still able to maintain high morale, because they now created a miracle, and they believed that this time they would be able to miraculously defeat the 15,000 allied forces of Fu Jian and Shenwolf Qiang Ole.
Liu Qi's army endured extreme fatigue, quietly hidden in the mountains and forests, while rectifying and resting, while also taking turns to make siege equipment, after the evening, 30,000 troops with simple siege equipment, took advantage of the night to quietly come to the city of Yinping, and launched a fierce attack on the unprepared defenders.
Because the main forces of Fu Jian and Ore are stationed in Guangwu, only Fu Jian's brother Fu Hong led hundreds of soldiers to defend in Yinping City, Fu Hong didn't think that there might be enemy troops here, so he didn't take the slightest precautions, when Liu Qi's army climbed to the top of the city with the help of a simple ladder, Fu Hong's soldiers were not aware of it, and when they were surprised that the enemy was coming, they had already been waved by the other party with the sharp blade in their hands, and their lives were lost.
Not to mention that the 30,000 troops under Liu Qi are all elites, and even in terms of numbers, they are hundreds of times that of these defenders in the city, so these defenders were naturally slaughtered without any suspense.
With only one stick of incense, Liu Qi's army completely controlled the entire Yinping City, and the Yinping guard general Fu Hong did not dare to resist at all, and immediately led the people to surrender.
Next, Liu Qi's army opened the treasury of Yinping and captured a large amount of supplies.
These supplies included some bows and arrows, cattle, sheep and horses, and 50,000 pieces of grain. These supplies were originally stored here by Fu Jian and Ole, who were stationed in Guangwu, to ensure safety. In the end, Liu Qi's army was cheaper.
In this way, Liu Qi's army, which was almost exhausted, was replenished with sufficient grain and grass, and the Guangwu defenders were cut off from supplies and retreats, and more than 10,000 people turned out to be turtles in the urn.
The next night. Fu Jian's brother Fu Hong quietly slipped out of Yinping City, and then rode his horse and galloped wildly, and came directly to Guangwu, where Liu Qi's army fell from the sky, and the news of the capture of Yinping told his brother Fu Jian, and Brother Jian led the army to recapture Yinping, otherwise I am afraid they will never be able to return to Wudu.
Fu Jian and Ole were shocked when they heard the news. immediately ordered the army to set off for Yinping, but he didn't expect to encounter Liu Qi's ambush on the way.
It turned out that Liu Qi saw Fu Hong's eyes dodging. I knew that this person was definitely not really asking to surrender, and when I stayed at night, I saw Fu Hong quietly leaving the camp, and I knew that I was going to escape. Inform Fu Jian that Liu Qi was asking him to go, so he secretly ordered the soldiers to defend the city, let him escape from the city, and then set up an ambush on the road from Guangwu to Yinping.
Although Fu Jian's army hurriedly resisted, it was already in disarray. How can it be a well-trained opponent of Liu Qi's army? In addition, in order to escape and escape at night, countless people trampled on each other and died, which was in a short period of time. Fu Jian's 10,000-strong army was almost lost, and Fu Jian, who had no choice but to lead the crowd to surrender, but he didn't expect Liu Qi to allow it, and Fu Jian saw that he was cornered, so he had to commit suicide.
And the leader of the Wolf Qiang, Ole, was already frightened when he saw that Fu Jian's 10,000-strong army was so lightly annihilated. Hurriedly threw down his weapon to signal surrender.
When Ole announced his surrender, his heart was still worried. Afraid that Liu Qi would refuse to surrender, but he didn't expect the other party to respond happily, Ole was naturally flattered and excited, patting his chest to assure Liu Qi of his loyalty and that of his clan, and at the same time secretly decided in his heart: "I will never dare to go against Liu Qi again in this life, because such an army is too powerful, and the thousands of men and horses under his command are like ants in front of them. ”
After the end of the war, Liu Qi ordered people to fly to report to Zhang Ren, the Taishou of Guanghan, and ordered him to lead the army to receive the Guanghan vassal state, and was responsible for transporting grain and grass for the main force led by him, and he divided the army into two routes, so that Gan Ning led the Ore's army of Wolf Qiang and the 20,000 troops of the headquarters to recover the entire Wudu County, but he personally led 10,000 Janissaries to the vicinity of the Dingjun Army and occupied the high mountain Arrow Mountain west of the Dingjun Mountain.
At this time, Zhao Yunzheng, the main general of Dingjun Mountain, was leading the army to hold on to Huang Zhong, and suddenly heard the report of the soldiers under his command that Arrow Mountain had been occupied by Liu Qi's army, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said in disbelief: "What? Liu Qi's army suddenly occupied Wrigley Mountain on the other side? How is this possible? Aren't they still in the Guanghan region? Pingwu is guarded by Fu Jian and the Ore's army, how did Liu Qi's army come over? Could it be that Fu Jian did not obey the order and directly sent troops to attack Liu Qi, or directly expressed his surrender to Liu Qi? ”
"It's not, the last general heard that Liu Qi didn't know where to find a deserted dangerous road, and then through guò this dangerous road actually came directly to Yinping City, and then the army fell from the sky, easily captured Yinping City, this Yinping City is the rear of Fu Jian's army, once lost, cut off Fu Jian's way back, so Fu Jian led the army back under the panic, wanting to conquer Yinping City in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect to encounter Liu Qi's ambush, as a result, Fu Jian couldn't get rid of the battle, and even surrendered without the permission of the other party, In desperation, Fu Jian had no choice but to commit suicide, and his brother Fu Hong was also killed in this battle, and the frightened leader of the Wolf Qiang Ole directly led the team to surrender. ”
"What a stupid person, who does this Fu Jian think he is? Dare to use his own strength to break Liu Qi's army, this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Zhao Yun let out a long sigh, and then said: "In this way, I am afraid that the entire Wudu County is no longer owned by our army." ”
This is no wonder that Zhao Yun is worried, now Liu Qi has won a surprise victory, defeated the army of Fu Jian and Ore, completely solved the threat of the hinterland of Yizhou, and now he is counterattacking with the victory, and will soon occupy the entire Wudu County, but he has already faced the situation of Huang Zhong and Liu Qi's army of forty or fifty thousand people, and it is extremely difficult to hold on, and now that Liu Qi occupies Arrow Mountain, he can go to Nanzheng City at any time, and Li Dian can fight back and forth to defeat his main force, so he can't help but be anxious in his heart.
"It seems that Dingjun Mountain is difficult to hold, and now all we have to do is to break through." Zhao Yun thought about it silently, and then ordered the army to prepare to break through.
"But where do we break through?" General Zhang Shao glanced at Zhao Yun and asked suspiciously.
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said: "Although there are few sergeants Liu Qi, but all of them are world-famous elite soldiers, and they also occupy geographical advantages, it is not so easy for us to win, besides, everyone will think that we must choose Liu Qi as the breakthrough point, and directly assist Nanzheng after the breakthrough, but what we have to consider now is how to preserve our strength, rather than the courage of blood, so if we want to break through, the target we choose should be Huang Zhong's army, as long as Huang Zhong is defeated, and then occupy Chuyang, we will be able to attract Liu Qi's army to attack." In this way, Nanzheng foreign aid will be cut off, and it will definitely surrender soon. As long as Nanzheng surrenders, the main force of our army will attack Liu Qi again, and we will definitely be able to defeat Liu Qi's army, even if it is impossible to capture Liu Qi alive. ”
Zhang Shao couldn't help but admire when he heard this, praised Zhao Yun's clever plan again and again, and then went to prepare for a breakthrough.
That night, Zhao Yun gathered his army and quietly crossed the water, preparing to attack Huang Zhong's camp, but he didn't expect that Huang Zhong had already prepared.
Although Zhao Yun is wise, but the opponent he faces is not an ordinary person, whether it is Liu Qi, or Jia Xu and Fa Zheng, they are all extremely smart people, they have already thought of this, and reminded Huang Zhong of this matter, Huang Zhong got the order of the lord and the reminder of Fa Zheng, and laid a secret post in the river early, so when Zhao Yun's army began to cross the river, he had already got the news at the first time.
After Huang Zhong heard the report, he immediately ordered the army that had already gathered momentum to place the antlers and other objects on the shore, and then ordered the crossbowmen to lie behind the antlers and wait for Zhao Yun's army to arrive.
After a short while, a loud wading sound was heard not far away, and as time went on, the wading sound became louder and louder.
Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng cautiously judged the distance of the enemy according to the sound that came, and after a while, Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng sensed the approach of the enemy almost at the same time, and couldn't help but change their faces slightly, glanced at each other, and then quietly gave an order, and immediately fired crossbow arrows at the same time the moment when they could raise the fire.
The crossbow troops under Huang Zhong's command were all staring at the front with nervous expressions, they knew that the ambush was about to begin, this was their first counterattack in many days, and the previous passive defensive situation was really a little unbearable. This time, since the counterattack has begun, we must let the hateful invaders know that they know how powerful they are, and we will beat them hard, and we will never dare to raise the idea of raising troops to invade again.
At this moment, I saw a few lights suddenly lit up in front of the left, and these crossbowmen knew that the order had been given, and immediately began to fire crossbow arrows.
Under the cover of night, thousands of crossbow arrows quietly flew forward, and then, like fierce beasts, they fiercely tore at the enemy soldiers who were still crossing the river.
At that time, Zhao Yun was nervously directing his soldiers to cross the river, but he suddenly heard the dense sound of breaking the sky, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said in a lost voice: "It's not good, the enemy is in ambush." ”
Almost at the same time, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the soldiers to bow down, and then ordered the army to retreat immediately.
However, this round of crossbow arrows went down, hundreds of soldiers were unfortunately killed, and it was at night, although Ming Jin's order was issued, but because of the inconvenience of the boat to turn around, it was crowded, and the team was congested into the water for a while, and the formation couldn't help but be chaotic, and Zhao Yun's army was trapped in the water like this.
