Chapter 302: Liu Qi Dispatches Troops
Just when Han Sui's army and Liu Bei were in the decisive battle, Guzang City was also carrying out a tragic offensive and defensive battle, Guzang is the city with the largest number of Wuwei, the population of all ethnic groups added up to only thirty or forty thousand, of which the Han people are the majority, but only a little more than 10,000, the more than 10,000 Han people are affected by the border land and the fierce folk customs, and they are also martial, after Liu Bei led the army to retreat, they knew that the Qiang Hu soldiers not far away would definitely attack, so they spontaneously organized, strengthened the city defense, and bravely resisted the invading enemy army.
However, there are also a lot of Di people in the city, they are influenced and bewitched by the tribe, and when everyone fights against the enemy army outside the city, they quietly open the city gate and welcome the people into the city.
After Yang Teng's army entered the city, he immediately carried out a large-scale massacre of the people in the city, and used this as an excuse to plunder the people's property, and even in order to be able to get as many goods and property as possible, even other ethnic groups other than their own clan were not spared, even the Qiang people who had attacked Wuwei together with their alliance before.
All of a sudden, there were dead bodies everywhere in Gu Zangcheng, both men, women, and children, all of whom were stripped naked without exception, and those female corpses had a lot of men's filth left on their bodies......
These people don't even let go of the clothes of the dead, and they are even more crazy about venting their animal desires for women, and they don't even let go of female corpses, which is really outrageous.
Of course, the atrocities of Yang Teng's army were met with desperate resistance from the people of all ethnic groups, who took advantage of the terrain and adopted a qiē way to resist the invasion of the enemy army, and even did not hesitate to die with the enemy army.
Under the leadership of Jia Cai, the leader of the local clan and Jia Xu's brother, these resistance forces fought valiantly from the Wu Fort built by the Jia family, repelling enemy attacks again and again.
Yang Teng knew that the Jia family was a local clan, and as long as they captured the Jia family, they would be able to get a lot of money. Therefore, they all attacked desperately.
Fortunately, the terrain of Jiafu is narrow, and it is surrounded by narrow lanes. And Jia Cai usually pays attention to defense, and the walls in the mansion are extremely thick. There were hundreds of well-trained private soldiers in the mansion, so although Yang Teng's army was numerous, it was difficult to break through for a while.
But after all, Yang Teng had a large number of people, so he ordered the military to demolish the houses, remove the beams, and make the sergeants lift up and slam against the gate, although the gate was thick, it was difficult to withstand under the violent impact. After just holding on to a cup of tea, the latch collapsed, and many Di soldiers poured in from the door.
"This is the last moment, we would rather die than live, kill!" Jia Cai pulled out his sword and shouted.
"Kill!" The privates shouted loudly, brandished their well-crafted swords, and slew the enemy together.
Although the private soldiers are not weak, after all, they have too little combat experience, and the enemy army is numerous. So when they just passed a stick of incense, they were already dead.
"Now that they're gone, it's up to us next, if we're all killed in battle. All these old and weak women and children behind us will commit suicide, and remember, you would rather die than be insulted by these brutes. ”
Jia Cai held the sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, no matter what ethnic group we are, no matter what our origins, now we have encountered robbers who have invaded our homeland and slaughtered our people, and we can only fight to the death with them. To guard our homeland, for the sake of the old and weak women and children behind us. Kill. ”
"Kill!" I saw that the thousands of people behind Jia Cai were all holding hoes, iron pickaxes, wooden sticks and other things, and fought to the death against the cavalry who rushed forward.
These people are all determined to die. Fearless, they thought of everything, but they didn't want to live, but they survived, because as soon as their fighting operation began, the soldiers in front of them retreated in a panic.
"What's going on? Could it be that the enemy soldiers were frightened by our bravery? Naturally, the people didn't believe in such nonsense, but they all looked at the scene in front of them strangely.
At this moment, Jia Cai suddenly reacted, and said with a loud laugh: "Haha, our army is here, Duke Qin has already retreated, naturally it is not his army, then this time it must be the army of Duke Chu, brothers, Duke Chu's army has come to save us." ”
Jia Cai's guess was right, this time it was indeed Liu Qi's army, they heard that Yang Teng's army was burning, looting, and doing all kinds of evil in Guzang City, they were already angry, and they hated to cut these beasts with a thousand knives, so the army immediately set off from Lingju without hesitation, and headed towards Guzang City at a lightning speed.
At this time, although there were 20,000 soldiers stationed in Guzang City, they had no time to defend the city, and they were busy looting the people and plundering money, so they were lightly attacked by Liu Qi's army, and then quickly came to their backs and launched a fierce attack on them.
Liu Qi's 50,000 army includes Ma Chao's 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as well as the Praetorian Guard and the Xiao Guard, who are themselves the world's first-class elite soldiers, and after seeing the atrocities of the Di sergeant, they are even more angry, so they used all their strength as soon as they came up, plus Liu Qi's army was more than twice as large, although the Di cavalry was brave, they were far from being able to resist such a powerful force, so at the beginning of the battle, they began to retreat.
But this time Liu Qi obviously wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he didn't want to let go of any of them, so he ordered the Praetorian Guards to guard the surroundings with spears, but used the Xiliang soldiers to clash back and forth, disrupting the opponent's formation, and then used the Xiao Guards to launch an exterminating massacre against the enemy.
At this time, Yang Teng had already been stabbed to death by Ma Chao, and his son Yang Ju was about to take revenge, but he was slashed to death by Ding Feng, the commander of the Xiaowei Army under Liu Qi.
The Xiao Guard Army was originally the natural nemesis of the cavalry, plus the patriarch and the young patriarch were killed in battle, the army was leaderless, and it was already chaotic, and the Di cavalry was difficult to win even in the case of intact formation, and now it was even more vulnerable in the case of the chaos of the formation.
Although they know that if they try their best at the moment, they may not be able to cause some casualties to the other party, but they know that even if they are desperate, they will struggle meaninglessly, so what is the point of them resisting?
Therefore, these Di soldiers, who were known to be mortal, no longer did any struggle, they had given up running for their lives after trying to break through several times without success, and they had also given up resistance, just waiting for the opponent's weapons to cut off their heads one by one.
Jia Cai saw a person riding a horse in the distance, although he was dressed as a scribe, he still slashed an enemy cavalryman with a sword, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Wenhe, you are finally back." ”
"Brother!" Jia Xu also had tears in his eyes, and rushed over from the lower column of the pro-soldiers, hugged Jia Cai, and the two brothers looked at each other and cried, complaining to each other.
But Liu Bei, who said that he was a time, heard Zhuge Liang's construction, nodded lightly, and shouted to the herald beside him: "Drumming." ”
Then I heard the war drums in the army sound with a special rhythm, and I casually saw Chen Zhi leading the elite white-eared soldiers to attack from both flanks.
The white-eared soldiers are the foundation on which Liu Bei depends, and they are the most elite troops in the entire Qin State, originally infantry, but now they are all cavalry, these sergeants are not only strong in combat, but also have experienced a lot of nightmarish training, although the intensity and method of training are definitely not as good as Liu Qi's Praetorian Guards and Xiao Guards, but they are also difficult for ordinary armies to match.
"Kill." Chen Zhi led the army to rush to the front, brandished the spear in his hand, stabbed to death several Xiliang soldiers who tried to resist, and then led the army to rush forward It was just a stick of incense that tore a hole in the Xiliang army that looked like an iron wall.
Only the sound of crying was heard, waiting for contact, the white-eared soldiers held spears and launched a fierce attack on Han Sui's army, although this army was only 5,000 people, but like a sharp steel knife, it quickly scattered the already unstable formation of Han Sui's army, and then cut it into three sections.
Behind the white-eared soldiers, the elite spearmen under Zhang Fei followed, mainly trained to fight against the Xiliang elite cavalry, this unit has also made meritorious contributions on the battlefield many times, once in the merger of the state, relying on this army to kill the same number of merge state iron cavalry defeated.
"Haha, his grandmother's, the Xiliang soldiers don't look like that, soldiers, kill me." Zhang Fei laughed wildly, and rushed into the Xiliang cavalry, a spear like a deadly poisonous snake, spit out a long core, stabbing the invincible Xiliang soldiers and Qiang soldiers off the horse's back, and when the final killing, Zhang Fei rounded the eight spears in his hand, and each stroke could smash several or even more than a dozen enemy soldiers to death.
The Zhangba spear in his hand is made of pure iron, and it weighs fifty or sixty pounds, plus he himself is extremely powerful, even if he smashes it, it can break people's tendons and fractures, and even kill them directly.
Behind Zhang Fei, he was followed by his son Zhang Bao and Guan Yu's son Guan Xing and other young generals, who also brandished the weapons in their hands and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.
At the same time, the shield soldiers who were responsible for defending launched a counterattack against the enemy army that had fallen into chaos, and for a while, the morale of all units of the Qin army was like a rainbow, and their courage was doubled, and they all shouted angrily and launched a fierce attack on the enemy army. ‘
Although the Xiliang army and the Qiang army were brave, they could not resist the Qin army like a tide, and seeing Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi rushing left and right in the chaotic army, no one was the enemy of their move, and they were already frightened, and they scattered and fled.
Although Han Sui and Yao Naxuan drank again and again, they couldn't stop the rout of the army at all, they knew that the army was in turmoil, and it would be futile to fight again, so they couldn't help but sigh and ordered the army to retreat.
On the way to retreat, Cheng Gongying saw that Han Sui was depressed, so he comforted: "The general doesn't have to be like this, although we have more than 20,000 losses this time, but Liu Bei's army has more than 10,000 deaths, and now his strength in Wuwei is less than 20,000, and he will definitely not be able to resist the imposing Liu Qi army, so although he won this battle, he can only retreat, so in this way, the general's battle is no different from victory."
