Chapter 104 Xuzhou Cleanup Plan 2
Although Wang Fadu is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, he still has to fight to the death before retreating, so Guan Yi's vanguard army has become the object of his venting, just imagine fighting 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers with 5,000 regular troops, Guan Yi has almost no chance of winning, but the military order is in front, he has no way to retreat, so he has to urge the sergeant to move forward bravely, and the two armies finally meet in Dangshan Xiayi.
The vanguard army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty here was still a little stunned when they looked at the miscellaneous soldiers and homeless people who were all over the mountains and fields, and Guan Yi rode on his horse and said loudly: "You don't need to count the heads you have captured today, you only need to work together to attack the Chinese army camp of the thieves, cut off the head of Wang Fadu, and everyone will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth when you go back." ”
Seeing the generals behind him whispering in a low voice, Guan Er also stepped forward and stood in front of the formation and scolded loudly: "Now that we have made a military order, everyone has no way out, it is better to play a game today, as the so-called brave wins when the two armies meet!" "After all, the two brothers Guan Yi and Guan Er are not from famous generals, at most, they can boost morale like this, and there is no other way.
Guan Yi saw that everyone was still a little timid, so he simply tore off the excess weapons and equipment on his body, rode to the front of the battle and shouted to the sergeants: "The glory and wealth in the future are only in today's battle, everyone has no distractions, just travel lightly." All the surplus weapons and food are discarded, and they can just fight. ”
Seeing that Guan Yi personally took the lead in discarding all the excess sundries, the vanguard army simply sorted out their bags one after another, and all the excess materials were discarded in front of the battle.
Seeing this, Guan Er had a plan, ran to Guan Yi and bowed his head to whisper a few words to him, Guan Yi frowned and asked, "Is this okay?" Guan Er swore and said to him with a smile: "Big brother, you just look at it, it's right to believe me." ”
Here, Wang Fadu suddenly received a report in front of the battle that the official army was retreating in a disorderly manner. It is said that Chen Xianda's army has come to encircle them, and Wang Fadu is overjoyed. Hurriedly shouted to his subordinate generals: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Get on the horse and chase after me, and be sure to annihilate this officer and army. Let's go back to Liang Guo and ask for merit and reward. He also hurriedly put on his armor, rode his war horse and commanded the army to follow.
Wang Fadu's Chinese army of 20,000 or 30,000 horses rushed up like this, chasing Guan Yi and their buttocks, just a few steps Wang Fadu found that the troops rushing to the front gradually did not leave, and they all bowed their heads to pick up the weapons and equipment and grain and grass discarded by the Eastern Wei army, Wang Fadu scolded loudly and asked: "What's the situation, how did the army stop?" ”
A young general ran over and said, "General Qiyu, everyone is fighting for the materials left by the officers and soldiers, and no one is chasing the deserters." When Wang Fadu heard this, he became angry. What he wants is not the baggage that Guan Yi and they left behind, he wants the heads of the official army, so that he can be considered to have the capital to negotiate with Xiao Yan when he goes to Liang State. So at that time, he shouted angrily: "Damn, who told you to pick up the rags of the official army?" Let me go, pursue the enemy with all my might, behead the head, I have a reward, hurry! ”
Wang Fadu was in a hurry, his brain was confused, and he blurted out and admitted that Guan Yi was an official soldier. Then he himself is obviously a bandit. Looking at these peasant soldiers who were still tearing and fighting for supplies not far away, Wang Fadu was very angry and took out his knife and rushed over, killing a miscellaneous soldier with one sword, and turned around and shouted at the other people who were still fighting: "Who the dares to snatch indiscriminately." This is the end, give me the pursuit of the enemy, hurry up! ”
The miscellaneous soldiers looked at him in horror. So they chased forward in a chaotic manner. Not far ahead is a grove of trees, and there is a trench for agricultural irrigation at the edge of the forest. Wang Fadu secretly screamed in his heart. It's a good place to set up an ambush, in case ...... Just thought of this. I only heard the sound of bangs, the drum rumbled, and the banner of Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was suddenly erected in the trench.
At this time, a large number of well-equipped officers and soldiers rushed out of the woods, and they drowned out the miscellaneous soldiers who were robbing the supplies, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and there was also a shout of killing in the ditch, Guan Yiyi rushed to the embankment first, and shouted: "Uncle Guan, the leading captain of the army under the command of the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, is here, and he will come up if he is not afraid of death!" "With a single sword, the two miscellaneous peasants armed with spears in front of him were turned over.
Wang Fadu secretly screamed in his heart, turned around and turned his horse to the side to evacuate. It doesn't matter if he retreats, the miscellaneous soldiers in front are completely annihilated, and the army behind is about to run away as soon as they see the main general, who still resists, they all throw away their armor and flee.
The miscellaneous soldiers of 100,000 horses were crushed all the way by the people in the Guan area, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, all the wilting and decaying annihilation, the battle was prepared for a long time, but the whole battle process only lasted half an hour and ended hastily, Wang Fadu led the remaining less than 5,000 men and horses to break thousands of miles and went straight to Andaoquan in North Xuzhou.
This battle was fought so hard that it also boosted morale, and the whole of Xuzhou was shaken, and it was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Gao Huan learned that Guan Yi had won the battle and immediately waved his army south, and quickly surrounded Pengcheng. Because Cao Xian was blocked by Murong Shaozong, he didn't dare to enter Xuzhou easily to support, so he could only bring back and forth in the East China Sea and Yuxian.
Pengcheng has been a big city since ancient times, from the Chu and Han dynasties to the separation of the three kingdoms, and then to the current confrontation between the north and the south, this Pengcheng has always been a place where soldiers must fight, because it connects Surabaya and Yishui and connects the Huaihe River Basin, and the advance and retreat are based on extending in all directions. It is a dangerous traffic artery.
Xian Yupu if he knows a little bit about military affairs, he should defend it, and then send someone back to Jiankang for help, but unfortunately Gao Huan's movements are too fast, and before he can react, he was surrounded, the officials just imagine, this Gao Huan has experienced more than 100 times of war, this point can't be seen, how can he lead the troops to fight, but because of the deep ditch in Pengcheng City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Gao Huan can't think of a way to crack it for a while, so he just besieges but does not attack.
Over there, Chen Xianda was frightened into a cold sweat when he learned that Gao Huan had copied his old nest Xuzhou, and organized troops to return to Pengcheng overnight, but He Batsheng's harassment and Gao Yue's encirclement and interception were unpreventable. As soon as He Batsheng was repulsed, Gao Yue's troops stuck up again, and only then did Gao Yue's troops run away, and He Batsheng's troops surrounded him again, and this went back and forth several times, and Chen Xianda's tired coping gradually became a little difficult to support alone.
"General, if we continue like this, we will only be passively beaten, and the military rations are currently seriously insufficient. Morale is low and can't go on like this. "The ministry will be very anxious about the current emergency. I had to remind Chen Xianda again.
"How long will our rations last?" Chen Xianda immediately turned his head and asked the military grain manager, and the grain and grass manager said in embarrassment: "Return to the general." The military rations are only until tomorrow, and there is no food to be distributed later. ”
The situation was already so urgent that Chen Xianda fell into deep thought. All the generals looked at him without saying a word, just waiting for him to make up his mind whether to fight or surrender, and after a while, Chen Xianda raised his head and said categorically: "Now that we have no way out, there is only one way to turn the crisis into safety." Seeing that everyone was looking at him intently, he continued: "Only by first breaking through Gao Yue's troops with all our strength, and then throwing off He Basheng's pursuit, can we safely retreat to Xuzhou. I want Pengcheng to get closer. ”
This is the only way to think of sinking down at present, it is true that they can't afford to be harassed by Gao Yue and He Batsheng like this, and it is just a slow death if it drags on, it is better to take advantage of the breath now to do a desperate fight, in case of luck to escape, it is not certain.
So everyone listened to Chen Xianda's arrangement, the front team changed to the rear team, and attacked Gao Yue's base camp, Gao Yue never expected that Chen Xianda would make dangerous moves, and his troops were assaulted while he was still asleep. Not to mention the heavy casualties, the loss of grain and grass is innumerable, if it is according to Gao Huan's meaning, he is enough to cut off his head.
Of the 50,000 horses, only half of them were killed by Chen Xianda overnight. Gao Yue fled back to Luoyang He Batsheng in a panic, he was already like a frightened bird, this Chen Xianda was really not so easy to deal with. He Batsheng also had to defend Yuwentai in Guanzhong. So I didn't dare to go out to catch up. I could only watch Chen Xianda return to Xuzhou with food and drink.
The pressure on Sizhou was reduced, but the pressure on Gao Huan's headquarters in Xuzhou became greater invisibly, and he learned that Gao Yue was defeated by Chen Xianda and fled. I was so angry that I jumped to my feet.
Li Erhu took the opportunity to say: "King, Guan Yi beat Wang Fadu away for you before. Today is also the time for my Lao Li to work hard. I don't believe this Chen Xianda is so powerful? I think General Gao Yue was carried away by the victory, and a moment of negligence allowed him to take advantage of the loophole to succeed. ”
Gao Huan was still a little worried and said: "Don't underestimate this Chen Xianda like him, people don't dare to work with porcelain without diamonds, and the generals of Liang who can enter our hinterland are definitely not fuel-efficient lamps." ”
"Don't worry, the king, I only need to bring 20,000 men and horses from my headquarters to collect him, and if the king doesn't believe me, I can also make a military order." Li Erhu is also slapping his chest now, and he is blowing wow-wow-wow.
Gao Huan was not in the mood to joke with him, and immediately said: "The military order is not needed, I still believe in the relationship between you and me, but I said ugly things in my head, this Chen Xianda is not ordinary, you must not underestimate the enemy, in case the army is defeated and dies, your wife and son will have no one to take care of." "To tell the truth, fighting a war is not a family, it is going to die, and a general with a loose attitude and an unstable mentality will definitely have an accident, and at that time it is not his Li Erhu family who is sad, but the family of 20,000 people who followed him on the expedition, so Gao Huan repeatedly told him not to be sloppy.
Li Erhu patted his chest and said very proudly: "Don't worry, the king, since you have said that the little one has been with you for so many years, naturally you don't dare to embarrass the king, I am not General Gao Yue, you can look at it this time." ”
Gao Huan was still not at ease and had a few words of advice, Li Erhu said goodbye a little impatiently, and returned to his camp tent, he felt uncomfortable when he thought left and right, before Guan Yi went out to fight, Gao Huan did not immediately order the transfer of soldiers to him, how did he send troops himself, he was careful with the left sentence and the right sentence to pay attention, how much stronger than that Guan Yi ability over the years? How many levels higher is the official position than him? The more Li Erhu thought about it, the more angry he became, so he called all his generals to a meeting.
"We will set out tomorrow to intercept Chen Xianda's subordinates, what strategy do you have to offer now." Li Erhu sat on the chair of the tiger skin shop, playing with the tiger skin in one hand and holding the teapot in the other, tilting his body very domineeringly, and said to the generals below. This tiger skin was given by the concubine's father (you can't call it an old man, only the father of the main wife is his father-in-law) when he married a concubine. is the so-called love house and Wu, when I see the tiger skin, I think of the young, beautiful, gentle and lovely concubine in my family.
"General, this Chen Xianda is not easy to deal with, we must not act rashly." The senator under the account came out first and reminded that this senator was also hired by him Li Erhu to learn from Gao Huan and Murong Heng, and he usually put on a show to do some paperwork, and he didn't expect him to give advice and advice, and with his Li Erhu's resourcefulness to deal with the ordinary bandits and bandits, it was easy to deal with it, and this Chen Xianda was not in Li Erhu's eyes at this time.
