Chapter 110: Guo Huai
Guo Huai
"Sima Wang, you won't be arrogant for long, do you think that just one city can block the way of my 50,000-strong army? Besiege! Mi Dang shouted angrily at Sima Wang.
Immediately, the rest of the soldiers had reorganized the slaves and prepared for the siege, but the process of this organization was full of slaughter; The more than 10,000 slaves gathered at this time were less than 6,000, and in the blink of an eye, 4,000 people had died under Qianghu's butcher's knife, and the rest had to continue to complete the task of attacking the city.
This time Mi Dang did not give Sima Wang any chance to raid, six thousand slaves carried the ladder and continued to approach, fortunately they are just the most ordinary people, do not have the combat power of soldiers in the real sense, in the face of the joint defense of everyone in the entire county, there is still no progress, only the pile of corpses to confirm that they have indeed done their best.
But in the face of absolute strength, all strategies seem small; The low walls were still breached, and the defenders were left to stop them, but the strong flow of people still made them helpless, and the confused cavalry began to move.
"Retreat, prepare to retreatγγγ Sima Wang saw that the situation on the battlefield was no longer possible, so he began to prepare for the retreat of the whole army.
"Qu Chang, what should the people of the city do" a soldier shouted at Sima Wang.
"If you stay here, will you be able to protect them? You can't even protect yourself, go! Defend yourself first, and then come for revenge," Sima Wang shouted at the soldiers.
As soon as the words fell, they jumped down from the city, and the cavalry soldiers served one after another, leaving the foot soldiers to continue to fight with the people to resist, and all the hearts knew in their hearts what it meant after the city was broken.
Sima Wang looked back at the soldiers behind him after breaking through, and there were still ten full horsemen left; The Qianghu rangers would not let go of any escapees, and most of them were strangled when they retreated.
The Eleventh Cavalry continued to run towards Linjing, the capital of Anding County, without stopping, and only there might be able to resist the sweep of Qianghu.
In the afternoon of the next day, Sima Wang finally rushed to Linjing City, but when he entered the city, he found that Linjing City at this time must be described as an iron wall; It turned out that the reinforcements led by Guo Huai had already arrived in Anding County, but they did not support Chaona, but left 20,000 foot soldiers to guard the important town of Anding, and he led 5,000 light cavalry to Mobei, preparing to attack its base camp when most of Qianghu was moving south.
The five thousand light horsemen led by Guo Huai, each of whom had three horses, and also carried ten days of dry food; Before leading the army, the military order given to Guo Huai by the assassin Shi was to keep the stability and wait for the imperial court to give orders. And Guo Huai violated the order to lead the army to attack the desert, so he set a goal for himself, only ten days, no reinforcements, no food and grass, during which he must succeed in the sneak attack; Otherwise, not only will you not be able to withdraw, but you will not be able to escape the punishment of the assassin if you withdraw.
Fortunately, providence seemed to be biased in favor of Guo Huai, and on the way they met Han merchants, who had just sold salt and iron to the Qianghu base camp; Although selling salt and iron violated the legal system of the Wei State, Guo Huai did not bother with him, but ran along the route described by the traders, of course, with two members between them.
According to the trader's account, Guo Huai calculated the distance, and finally reached the Qianghu base camp after six days of running, and the time happened to be night; Guo Huai secretly rejoiced that if he hadn't led most of the southern expedition, how could he have left himself such a good opportunity, although there was a blockage of the Qianghu cavalry everywhere, but there was no threat, after all, most of his own was still completing the autumn harvest in the south, and the tribes in the north were guarding against Xianbei; Moreover, Qianghu is constantly suppressed by Xianbei, sandwiched between Xianbei and Cao Wei, and his strength has been worn out.
Less than twenty miles away from the Qianghu base camp, Guo Huai's five thousand light horsemen rode after a full meal; Taking advantage of the cold night of the desert, he began to complete the final goal of the Qianghu base camp, if this battle can be successful, Qianghu will be greatly injured, and the natural retreat of the army will be solved, and the siege of Yongzhou will be relieved suddenly.
With a cold and murderous atmosphere, Guo Huai's five thousand light cavalry made two preparations to enter the Qianghu base camp, but at this time Qianghu's cavalry was waiting for them outside the camp gate, Guo Huai did not stop and blew the horn to signal to continue to charge; There are about 1,000 light cavalry standing outside the camp gate, waving weapons and waiting for Guo Huaijun to approach, after all, they have been running on other people's territory for six days, and it is expected to be discovered, but this is not important, what matters is the result after dawn.
With the momentum of the cavalry, the soldiers of the two armies were soon scorched together, and Guo Huai, consciously or unconsciously, avoided the frontal charge and led the troops to the center of the tent; The task of their trip is to hit the base camp hard, there is no second task, 5,000 light cavalry is implemented according to the previously scheduled plan, although there are nearly 2,000 Hu cavalry in the base camp to resist, but the elite soldiers are all in the south autumn harvest, and the rest are just ordinary soldiers.
And it seems that they have only discovered their whereabouts for a short time, the tribe has not yet organized a complete defense, and they are frightened by the heavenly gods, Guo Huai seized the opportunity to set fire and slaughter everywhere; In the blink of an eye, the firelight illuminated the cold night, and there was only a scream that shook the skyγγγγγγ
The desert sunshine came out very early, and the dark air was instantly pierced by the yellowing light, which hit the faces of the Qianghu tribesmen, but they didn't have any smiles in the face of this sunshine; Lying on the ground, only the remaining blood stains and the blackened tent told of what had happened here.
At the same time, this ray of sunlight was also close to the horizon and directly hit Guo Huai's side face, Guo Huai didn't respond, a face without any expression, only knew that the mechanical horse was driving and running crazy to the south.
Guo Huai is still alive, which means that Qianghu's base camp has been slaughtered, and the siege of Yongzhou has been lifted suddenly, but the Hui army will be able to intercept Guo Huai with all his mightγγγ
In August of the third year of Zhangwu, after the autumn harvest; Shu Han, who had been recuperating for two years, gathered almost all the capable soldiers in Yizhou and assembled them in Hanzhong. Only the four Si'er and the Ba people were unable to go out because of the situation in Nanzhong, and even the only three counties in Jingzhou gathered nearly 5,000 soldiers to assemble in Hanzhong.
This year is also the second year of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu Dynasty, in the second year of Wu Huangwu, Sun Quan ordered the construction of the Yellow Crane Tower on the bank of the Yangtze River, Wuchang, the capital of Eastern Wu, for military purposes, Sun Quan in order to achieve 'rule the country by force and prosper', build the city for defense, build a building to hope, but also to be able to make Wuchang City at this time in the addition of a line of defense.
[I didn't expect it to be made up, and I will continue to make up for it later; May you all have a good mood every day! γ
