One thousand and forty-five serial counts
Fa Zheng's opportunity was just right, and Xu Huang's assault was extremely resolute.
Moreover, the slope of this Baique Mountain is moderate, because it is a hard rock, so the lack of vegetation on the mountain will not affect the swooping Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers, and the power of the sprint can be exerted to the extreme.
Xu Huang rode his horse and galloped, and cut off the head of Xin Wenli, who was holding a big bowl of noodles, with lightning speed, and the other soldiers were not to be outdone, and the torrent covered down, brandished the knives and guns in his hands, and condescendingly harvested the heads of the Western Han soldiers who were caught off guard.
At this moment, more than 20,000 Western Han Dynasty soldiers were almost stunned, except for the main general Xin Wenli, who was beheaded, almost all other Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers were killed.
First, thanks to the ability of Yifa to seize opportunities, secondly, thanks to the terrain of Baique Mountain, and third, everyone knows that if you can't take Mianzhu Pass, the next end will be to run out of food and scatter, starve to death in the mountains of Bashu, so everyone is brave and competent.
A tsunami-like sprint, eight thousand soldiers brandished a mad knife and rushed down the hillside, and in a blink of an eye, they slashed and killed nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty.
The main general was killed in battle, and the soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty who were killed lost their fighting spirit, threw away the weapons in their hands one after another, and ran in the direction of Mianzhu with their heads in their hands.
"Hugh is going to take a traitor!"
With a rapid sound of drums, Fu Youde and Zhang Xian each led 20,000 horses to kill from the oblique stab, forming an encirclement with Xu Huang who was chasing from behind.
Even if the enemy army is allowed to flee eastward, they must not be allowed to flee west to Mianzhu Pass to report to Zhou Yafu. Otherwise, there are at least more than 10,000 people in Mianzhu Pass, and if you want to win the level, you will inevitably pay huge casualties.
I have to say that Fa Zheng showed a very high level in the choice of terrain, not only allowing Xu Huang to successfully slash Xinwenli with the help of the terrain of Baique Mountain. The ambush terrain chosen for Fu Youde and Zhang Xian was like a gourd, with a long and narrow section of terrain in the middle, 20,000 horses blocking the exit, and Xu Huang attacking before and after, almost never letting the Western Han army escape a single person.
The stunned Western Han army lost its fighting spirit and was leaderless. Only a small group of troops resisted stubbornly, and they were soon cut down by Zhang Xian and Fu Youde, and the heads of the people killed were rolling around, and the corpses were all over the field.
"Willing to surrender, ask for the grace of not killing!"
There was no way to enter the heavens and no door, and the remaining more than 10,000 Western Han soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
Xu Huang ordered all these captives to be disarmed, unarmoured, and surrounded on the spot. Three thousand heavily armed soldiers were left to guard him, and if anyone dared to act rashly, he would be immediately killed.
Fa Zheng also instructed Zhang Xian: "General Lao Zhang led more than 10,000 people to change into the armor and banner of the Western Han Army, and used the corpse of Xin Wenli to open the city gate; Please General Xu Gongming then cover up the killing, whether you can take Mianzhu Pass in one fell swoop, just tonight! ”
It's already midday, the night is dark, and the autumn wind is blowing strongly. Heaven and earth are gloomy.
Zhang Xian ordered 10,000 soldiers to change into the armor of the Western Han Army, whether they were bloody or damaged. Carrying the broken flag, shouting and clamoring, pretending to fight with the Eastern Han army, while retreating towards Mianzhu Pass.
Xu Huang led more than 10,000 people to cover up and kill, with great fanfare and bluff. staged a chase drama with Zhang Xianjun in the dark night, striving to trick Zhou Yafu out of the city and settle the battle in the wild. Fa Zhengze and Zhang Song led 3,000 soldiers and imprisoned nearly 10,000 prisoners on the spot.
In order to avoid accidents, Fu Youde personally disguised himself as a sergeant of the Western Han Dynasty. brought dozens of powerful soldiers, escorted a general named Deng Qian, transported the body of Xin Wenli, and went to Mianzhu Pass in advance.
More than 20,000 Eastern Han Dynasty troops were clearly distinguished, holding bright torches in the dark night, one retreated in panic, and one followed to cover up, surging towards Mianzhu Pass like a tide.
Fu Youde took dozens of soldiers, rode the captured horses, and carried the body of Xin Wenli with war horses, rushed to Mianzhu Pass one step in advance, and called the door loudly.
"Open the gates, open the gates! General Xin Wenli was killed in battle, and our army is being chased and killed by the Eastern Han Army, please General Zhou quickly go out of the city to respond! A captain of the Eastern Han Dynasty who pretended to be the leader shouted loudly at the door.
The soldier guarding the door quickly reported to Zhou Yafu: "General Qiyu, dozens of soldiers have come down from the city, saying that General Xin Wenli died in battle, please go out of the city quickly to meet the defeated soldiers!" ”
Zhou Yafu has been waiting for Xin Wenli to return from the city, and from time to time he sent scouts to spy on the military situation, which just went down the city wall to prepare for some supper, and then returned to the city to wait for the battle report, and got the bad news that Xin Wenli was killed.
"What? Xin Wenli chased seven or eight thousand Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers with 25,000 men, and will die on the battlefield? Zhou Yafu hurriedly threw down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and came to the head of Mianzhu Pass as quickly as possible.
"Who is taking the lead? Stand up and talk! Zhou Yafu pressed his sword in his hand and asked vigilantly.
Fu Youde stood behind Deng Qian, using the cover of night to hold his back with a steel knife, and whispered: "Answer according to the plan, if you say half a word wrong, I will pierce your heart with a knife!" ”
Deng Qian hurriedly bowed his head, cleared his throat, and promised: "If you return to General Zhou, it was the last general Deng Qian who snatched the body of the new general and sent him back to the city desperately." ”
Seeing his acquaintances, Zhou Yafu's vigilance was at least half lowered, and he asked in a solemn voice: "General Xin Wenli bravely crowned the three armies and chased Xu Huang with three times the force, why did he die?" ”
"Back to the general, the team led by Xu Huang only came to lure the enemy, and there are 20,000 ambush soldiers behind!" Deng Qian pulled his throat and replied to Zhou Yafu according to the negotiated wording, "The new general chased too quickly into the encirclement, was attacked by three ways, and was beheaded by Xu Huang!" ”
"Oops...... It's still underestimated! Zhou Yafu high-fived and stomped his feet on the city wall, annoyed.
Zhou Yafu's lieutenant shouted beside him: "Carry the body of the new general up the city wall and take a look!" ”
A few Eastern Han soldiers had already carried Xin Wenli's body and head under the city wall according to the instructions, and held torches high to illuminate it, "Please General Zhou take a closer look, this is the corpse of the new general, there are already two corpses!" ”
The top and bottom of the city wall raised torches together to illuminate, shining like day, Zhou Yafu and the others could see clearly, who was the person in the two places under the feet of the corpse who was not Xin Wenli?
The sound of killing in the distance was loud, and the torches all over the mountains were reflected, like the stars twinkling, and the shouts of "Break through Mianzhu Pass and capture Zhou Yafu alive" could be vaguely heard, as well as the wails of "General Zhou's help"!
Fu Youde stabbed Deng Qian's back with a steel knife under the city wall, and Deng Qian endured the pain and asked for help: "General, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, hurry up and send troops to rescue the brothers behind, there are more than 10,000 people who were chased and killed by the Eastern Han Army." General, if you don't send troops, I'm afraid you will be wiped out! ”
Under the leadership of Deng Qian, dozens of disguised Eastern Han soldiers surrendered their hands to ask for help: "Please send troops to rescue the brothers quickly, if it is too late, the whole army will be wiped out!" ”
As far as the eye could see, the sound of killing was getting closer and closer, and the ground illuminated by flickering torches turned red.
Zhou Yafu gritted his teeth and ordered the deputy general to lead 3,000 people to defend the city, and he led the rest of the people to kill Xiaguan to rescue the defeated soldiers.
With the sound of "squeak", the gate of Mianzhu Pass slowly opened, Zhou Yafu jumped on his horse and raised his gun, leading more than 10,000 people to kill out of the gate, shouting to the east to meet the defeated soldiers, "The soldiers are panicking, Zhou Yafu is coming to respond!" ”
More than 10,000 soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty followed and shouted: "Brothers, don't panic, General Zhou has come to meet you!" ”
I couldn't see the faces clearly in the night, not to mention that it was impossible for tens of thousands of horses to know each other, just looking at the armor and banners of the retreating team, Zhou Yafu waved his army and rushed up, mixing with the retreating soldiers and horses.
"Kill me!"
Seeing Zhou Yafu's plan, Zhang Xian was overjoyed, waved his gun and poked over a lieutenant next to him, and yelled.
It turned out that the soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty had wrapped white cloth around their arms, in order to distinguish them from the real Western Han army.
Zhou Yafu knew the plan, brandished a spear and struggled to open a bloody road, was chased by Zhang Xian and Xu Huang, and was intercepted by dozens of people such as Fu Youde, and wanted to return to Mianzhu Pass but couldn't, so he could only lead the remnants to flee south to Ru County, and defected to Liu Yu and Zhao Kuangyin.
The main general led his troops out of the city, the gate of Mianzhu Pass was always open, and the deputy general led 3,000 people to guard up and down, waiting for Zhou Yafu's army to return.
In the night, Zhang Xian and Fu Youde led the army straight to the city gate, swarmed into the city, cut down the deputy general, killed more than 1,000 defenders, and the rest of the surrendered surrendered, and the rout fled, and Mianzhu Pass fell into the hands of the Eastern Han army.
The sky was bright, and the city head of Mianzhuguan was planted with the banner of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Xian led 5,000 people back to Baique Mountain to meet the law, escorted more than 10,000 captives into Mianzhu Pass, and all of them were scattered and absorbed, mixed into the team, and used as cannon fodder. And secretly investigated, and secretly killed more than 1,000 diehards of the Western Han Dynasty to eliminate hidden dangers.
Counting the soldiers, the Eastern Han army lost no more than 5,000 troops, and broke the 40,000 horses of Zhou Yafu and Xin Wenli, and easily took the Xiongguan fortress of Mianzhu Pass, cutting off the direct connection between the north and Luo County. It can be described as a complete victory, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.
Xu Huang, Fu Youde, and Zhang Xian almost threw themselves on the five bodies that Fa Zheng admired, and thanked Fa Zheng together: "Mr. Fa Xiaozhi has no last resort, this time we can make great contributions, all thanks to Mr. Strategizing!" ”
Fa Zheng laughed and returned the salute: "Hehe...... The three generals are polite, Fa Zheng is just familiar with the terrain, and if he can defeat Zhou and the new two generals, it is still thanks to your courage and skill. ”
was out of the limelight by Fazheng, Zhang Song was also unwilling, and reminded: "Although we have taken Mianzhu Pass and cut off the direct connection between Yuxian and Zitong, the Western Han Dynasty coalition army can also retreat to Hanzhong in the areas of Wenshan, Yinping, and Mamingge to the west. Therefore, our army must try to block the main route of its retreat, so that the two thieves of Liu Zhao can be trapped and killed in the Bashu Basin! (To be continued.) )
