Chapter Ninety-Five: Marching into Wancheng and Destroying the Enemy
Chapter 95 marched into Wancheng and smashed the enemy
Chen Gun looked at the dust in the sky, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The rescue troops of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info are finally here.
He was not mistaken, it was eight battalions of cavalry under the command of Zhang Jaw.
Zhang Jaw took the lead, and the cavalry archers of the three battalions behind him, the longbows in their hands kept rising, and the arrows shot down from the sky as if they didn't want money. The Yellow Turban soldiers behind Ma Yuan and Ma Ji were killed and wounded.
Under the continuous rain of arrows, Rao is immortals will be afraid, not to mention these Yellow Turban rebels who have not experienced much of the world. They are whining and shouting, and you are pushing me and dodging forward.
Ma Yuan and Ma are no longer able to control this situation, let alone send people to attack the city.
The rain of arrows advanced thirty or forty feet and stopped. Ma Shi Zhongkun had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of horses' hooves plowing the ground reached their ears again. In the dust after the rain of arrows, countless cavalry appeared, the first of which was a general who was nearly nine feet tall, with a handsome eyebrow, a slightly yellow face with a little vicissitudes, wearing an iron helmet, wearing an iron armor and a yellow hero, sitting on a snow-treading oolong horse, with an iron point gun in his hand. This person is not someone else, but Zhang Junyi.
The place where the cavalry passed was like cutting wheat, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans fell one after another like sheaves of wheat that had been put on.
Ma Yuan and Ma have patted Ma to fight and open their jaws. With a shake of the jaw spear, the left shot picked off Ma Yuan's spear, and the right shot picked off Ma Yuan's broadsword. The three of them fought together. Zhang Jaw fights two people alone, and he does not fall behind at all, and he faintly seems to be slightly superior.
After more than 30 rounds, Zhang Jaw pumped a cold shot and picked up Ma Yuan's big gun to block Ma Yuan's big knife. The weapons of the Ma brothers were twisted together, and with their jaws open, a long snake came out of the hole, and Ma Yuan's face was in a hurry. Ma Yuan's moves are already old, and it's too late to hide; Ma already wanted to come to the rescue, but his big knife was blocked by Ma Yuan's spear, and he could only watch the jaw stab out.
It's too late, it's too soon. saw the open-jaw spear shoot out like lightning, and with a "snap", it stabbed Ma Yuan's eyebrows. Then he quickly drew his spear and stabbed it in the chest. Ma is already regretting that he didn't save his eldest brother just now. In this hesitation, the jaw opened and killed the horse again.
A group of Yellow Turban soldiers at the north gate saw that the main general was killed one by one. Immediately flee and run, and run, and fall.
Seeing that the danger of this gate had been lifted, Chen Gun did not go over to greet Zhang Jaw, but shouted loudly: "Sixth general, hurry up and go to reinforce the other gates." I'll rush to reinforce Simon. He had already received information about the battle situation at the West Gate, so when the battle at the West Gate was over, he left and rushed to the West Gate with his men to rescue.
Besides, after Xu Chu killed Han Zhong and several others, he sent Dong Dao and Fan Jian with two battalions of soldiers to reinforce Xu Rong. He led Tie Jia and Zhao Hong to the south gate to rescue.
South Gate. Zhang Mancheng had already received the news of the defeat of Han Zhong and Ma Yuan, and he was even more surprised when he heard that the enemy cavalry was coming. Without a trace of hesitation, this guy directly ordered a retreat. If he is so decisive, if he shows Liu Qian, he will be shocked by the gods. He gave the order to retreat, and he didn't even care about those who were still attacking the city or had already attacked the city, but just retreated in the direction of Wancheng with more than 10,000 people around him.
By the time Xu Chu and Zhang Jaw arrived, Zhang Mancheng had already fled far away.
Xu Chu and Zhang Jaw brothers were united and wanted to enter the city. I don't know that the gates of the city have been blocked. Xu Chu asked Zhang Jaw to guard the outside with cavalry, and he led a group of infantry into the city for reinforcements.
Zhang Mancheng retreated. However, the brothers Sun Zhong and Sun Xia had already invaded the city, but in the end they became prisoners of others. But the two brothers should not be killed. When they were captured, Zhao Hong led people to bring them to Xu Chu, Zhang Jaw, and Liu Bei. Zhao Hong had a good personal relationship with the two, so he persuaded the two to surrender during the escort. These two people were also happy, and seeing that Zhao Hong was also a petty official here, it was not bad, so they agreed.
Xu Chu and the three of them saw Zhao Hong interceding for the two of them, and they agreed to their surrender.
In this battle, Liu Bei suffered heavy losses here.
The 21st Battalion lost 621 casualties, the 22nd Battalion 422 casualties, the 23rd Battalion 620 casualties, the 24th Battalion 441 casualties, the 25th Battalion 371 casualties, the 26th Battalion 575 casualties, the 27th Battalion 478 casualties, and the 28th Battalion 389 casualties. A total of 3,917 were killed.
Because of the surprise attack, only the new battalion lost 120 men in this battle, and the new 3rd battalion lost 78 men.
The cavalry of the open jaw was not damaged.
5,789 enemy soldiers were captured in this battle, including Sun Zhong and Sun Xia. According to the previous rules, 4,122 people were recruited, and the losses of the battalions were compensated.
Liu Bei recorded the situation of this battle in detail in the battle report and sent someone to the Changshe to report to Liu Qian. After that, the three of them invited Tian Feng to discuss the next plan and the situation of using troops against Zhang Mancheng.
When Tian Feng heard this, he laughed: "Three generals, now that Zhang Mancheng has no generals available, what is the use of only 30,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
"Mr. Yuan Hao, could it be that there are already countermeasures?" Xu Chu asked. Since he used Tian Feng's strategy to obtain the ancient city, Xu Chu was completely convinced by these guys who were standing behind and killing people.
Zhang Man thought that General Xuande could be bullied, so he used his troops to besiege this city. How do you know that our army rescued in two ways and broke its 100,000 army in one fell swoop. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he immediately retreated. He is a man who knows how to do things. Tian Feng said and picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistened his throat and continued, "Our army is advancing rapidly or slowly, and it is the same for the land of Wancheng." ”
"What do you mean by that?" When Liu Bei heard it, he couldn't understand it!
"General Xuande might as well think about it. If Zhang Mancheng is willing to fight with me, why should he flee so quickly? Tian Feng asked rhetorically, "If he retreats this time, he will definitely join the defenders of Wancheng and strictly defend Wancheng for the time being." It's just that our army is now 30,000 people, can his soldiers be able to stop it? In his heart, I am afraid that he is most worried. Even if he was able to keep our army out of the city, he would probably suffer heavy losses. A person like him, who knows practice and discerns danger, will definitely not be stupid enough to wait for our army to surround him in Wancheng and be trapped. ”
In Mr.'s words, Zhang Mancheng must have a good place to go. Otherwise, after giving up Wancheng, where would he take tens of thousands of soldiers to beg for a living? Zhang Jaw asked puzzled.
"I'm afraid none of the three generals have heard of it, right? In the land of Sichuan and Shu, there is a five-bucket rice sect that has also risen up not long ago, and that sect advocates cultivation under the assistance of his son Zhang Lu, but in half a month, he has killed the Yizhou Assassin History, and occupied Ba County and Hanzhong County. Although Chengdu has not yet been occupied, it is estimated that if the imperial court does not send troops to conscript, it will not be long before Chengdu will not be surnamed Liu! Tian Feng analyzed it like this, and the three of them immediately understood.
After hearing this, Zhang Jaw asked, "In this way, this Zhang Mancheng is not easy to eliminate!" ”
"Not really, the sixth general can lead the eighth battalion of cavalry to make a detour to the west of Wancheng. There is a village in the southwest 100 miles away from Wancheng, and the villagers are nowhere to be found because of the yellow scarves. Generals can be stationed inside. This is the place where Zhang Mancheng must pass through when he retreats to Hanzhong. If the general sets out now, it is estimated that he will be here in ten days. Tian Feng took out the map and pointed out the location to Zhang Jaw, and then said: "I'll wait for the commander infantry to rest for a while, and then set off in five days." It will also take more than ten days to rush to Wancheng. In this way, we can form a flanking attack on Zhang Mancheng. ”
When the people heard this, it turned out to be so.
After this discussion, Zhang Jaw did not delay, packed up, and took the dry rations used by the soldiers. Eight thousand cavalry rushed to the southwest of Wancheng.
After five days of running-in, the newly replenished soldiers of each battalion are familiar with their own environment and understand the combat methods of the Nanping Army, but more running-in still requires them to improve through a longer period of unified training and battlefield fighting.
Five days later, with Liu Bei as the main general, Xu Chu as the deputy general, and Tian Feng as the military division, more than 16,000 people from the 13 battalions of the Nanping Army and the 3 new battalions of the Nanping Army marched to Wancheng.
Thirteen days later, Liu Beijun arrived at a town a hundred miles north of Wancheng.
The name of this town is Yangquan, and it is different from other places. In other places, because of the yellow scarves, all the officers and soldiers ran out when they arrived, but there are still many people in this town.
When the army was less than a short distance from the town, the gates outside the town suddenly closed.
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Tell the brothers in each battalion to bypass this town and not disturb the people here." ”
The army bypassed outside the city, and suddenly Tian Feng said: "General Xuande, our army's rear formation must be sent to two generals to suppress the formation." ”
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Yuan Hao?" Liu Bei was puzzled.
"Beware of the ship of ten thousand years! It's better to send two generals over to press the formation! Tian Feng didn't explain what was going on, just a strong suggestion.
Liu Bei and Xu Chu exchanged a look with each other and ordered: "Tie Sheng, Rui Li, Yuandao, Ci'an, Ji Tai, the five of you go to the rear formation to suppress the formation." Order the commanders of the four battalions behind to press back with you. Once there is a change, the back team will change to the front team, and respond in time. ”
Xu Rong, Chen Gun, Zhao Hong, Sun Zhong, and Sun Xia were ordered to rush to the rear team.
The team quickly crossed the Yangquan town, and the journey was less than half a mile. I heard a drum beat behind me, and a team of people was killed from the town, not to mention more than 10,000.
As soon as the drums fell, there was a drum beat not far ahead, and a team of more than 10,000 people blocked their way.
Liu Bei looked at it and knew that he had fallen into the encirclement of the enemy. He said to Tian Feng: "Mr. Yuan Hao, you and Gang together with the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth battalions to the Chinese army to guard the grain and grass. ”
Then he said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, we will take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet set up a position and rush over to kill him." What do you think? ”
Xu Chu had already wanted to lead the team to rush up at this time, and nodded when he heard the words.
Liu Bei raised the halberd in his hand and rushed out first. Xu Chu and others were not far behind and followed closely behind. Ten battalions of volunteers swarmed up.
The troops that Zhang Mancheng intercepted, called Zhang Xian for the leader of the army, was Zhang Mancheng's brother, Zhang Mancheng sent troops to attack Lushan and Sun Yong together to defend Wancheng. After Zhang Mancheng defeated Lushan, only Zhang Xian and Sun Yong were the only two generals available to him. The rest of the centurions, captains, and others are not worth mentioning.
Seeing Liu Bei's army pressing up, Zhang Xian did not show weakness, waved the spear in his hand, and ordered the soldiers behind him who had not yet set up their positions to start charging.
Zhang Xianjun already has many soldiers and few generals, how can he be the opponent of the Pingnan Army with the same strength but more than ten generals? In this battle, the Nanping army was attacked before and after, did it suffer heavy losses? Are more than a dozen generals the key to changing this ambush battle? Please be patient and look down.
