Chapter 621: The Battle of Life and Death
Even a person like Wei Xuanzhen, who doesn't have much common sense, knows that this Qin Shaoyou suddenly withdrew some of his military horses and planned to rescue Luoyang, which is a little unrealistic.
Marching and fighting is not a child's play, so many men and horses are mobilized, not to mention that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, that is, tens of thousands of horses and horses are marching in a hurry, and it is not so fast to gallop to help, not to mention, such a hurry, it must be a tiring army and horses, and the various departments are chaotic, but the other party is waiting for work, which is obviously a taboo for soldiers.
"How many people have been transferred?" Wei Xuanzhen's eyes moved, and she glanced at Zhang Jin.
"I'm afraid there are nearly half of them, and according to General Liu's speculation, there should be eighty or ninety thousand people."
890,000 people...... That's pretty much it.
If it is 80,000 or 90,000 people, then under the city, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 Wei troops at most, this number is actually not high, if at this time, 300,000 elite court troops in Hangu Pass attack, with these 40,000 or 50,000 Wei troops alone, will they live in a low grade?
The Wei army is certainly brave, but the Shence army, after all, is only a few, the vast majority of the five military camps, although they have practiced diligently, but after all, they have not experienced any major battles, and their strength is at most comparable to the forbidden army, even if it is higher, but the soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass poured out, and Wei Xuanzhen can be said to be victorious.
And it is understandable that Qin Shaoyou wants to defeat more than 100,000 Wei Chenliang's soldiers and horses in a short period of time, and dispatch 80,000 or 90,000 elites to block the attack.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Wei Chenliang's soldiers and horses have a lot of strength, it seems that although Wei Chenliang has many soldiers and horses, of course, he is far from being the opponent of the Shence Army and the Fifth Military Battalion, but the problem is that now everyone is racing against time, if Qin Shaoyou really wants to stop Wei Chenliang, he must make a decision with lightning speed, and then quickly return to the division to rescue Hangu Pass, if there are only 30,000 or 40,000 military horses. can barely be on par with Wei Chenliang, but it is absolutely impossible to destroy the entire Wei Chenliang coalition army in a short period of time.
So......
Zhang Jin squinted his eyes and said, "Taishan." Do you want to attack immediately and crush the bandit army that remains outside the city? ”
Wei Xuanzhen was silent.
He couldn't help but say: "Did the thief army save Luoyang?" ”
"Ah......" Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment: "This time Qin Shaoyou is pouring out, it seems a little strange, since he is determined to storm Hangu Pass, he will definitely expect that Wei Chenliang will send troops north, obviously his previous plan is to be desperate to take Hangu Pass and then plan, but now Wei Chenliang is going north." But he led his troops to block it, so wouldn't he take care of one thing and lose the other? Put yourself in a dilemma. Qin Shaoyou has always been extremely cunning, how could such a person make such a big mistake. ”
Wei Xuanzhen nodded, the problem is here, Qin Shaoyou is attacked on both sides, and since he has come out. wants to seize Hangu Pass, but now Wei Chenliang is making a big move. But they were anxious to save it, but the two sides were hundreds of miles apart, and it was easier said than done to divide the troops to rescue them, and it also put the military horses left here in a dangerous situation, which was obviously a very bad deal.
Zhang Jin said: "Besides. Without a month's effort, Qin Shaoyou's reinforcements may not be able to eat Wei Chenliang in one bite, if Wei Chenliang progresses rapidly, it may even be before Qin Shaoyou's reinforcements arrive. Taking Luoyang in one fell swoop, in this case, Qin Shaoyou saved it, and it may not be of much effect, so he felt strange, he ...... Is it a suspicious array? ”
Therefore, there is a suspicion......
Wei Xuanzhen was worried about this, Qin Shaoyou pretended to send troops and horses to the rescue, but in fact, this elite army was ambushed, waiting for the officers and soldiers in Hangu Pass to think that Qin Shaoyou was going far, so he made a decisive attack, echoing Wei Chenliang and going hand in hand, but in fact, he had already been ambushed, and he was halfway to intercept, he was ostensibly going to save Luoyang, but in fact, the real goal was Hangu Pass, annihilating the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass in one fell swoop, and seizing Hangu Pass, so that even if Luoyang had a problem, he took Hangu Pass, and Chang'an City was also in front of him. There is no barrier at all, and exchanging a Luoyang for a Chang'an is equivalent to exchanging your own fiefdom for the entire world.
"Yes, the old man is worried about the same, perhaps, then Qin Shaoyou has been waiting nearby for a long time, waiting for me to get out, heh...... This Qin Shaoyou is very calculating, he saved Luoyang, he was simply tired of running for his life, in the final analysis, this is a strategy to lure the enemy. ”
"So, will you continue to wait and see and stay put?"
"Send more scouts, always be careful, we will be careful to keep the Hangu Pass, which is the last barrier in Chang'an, and we must not take it lightly."
Zhang Jin said: "Obey." ”
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………
The progress of the coalition forces was particularly smooth, and after a few days of fierce attack, Xingyang was broken.
Entering Xingyang City, Wei Chenliang was in a good mood, seized this Luoyang portal, and then, he could drive straight into the hinterland of the thief army, and now the coalition army is up and down, it is already gearing up, who doesn't know, this Kanto area is a place of anointing, not to mention the fertile land, these are all false, the most important thing is that compared to other places, it can be said that there is gold everywhere, a state of land, rich and rival the country, before everyone was unwilling to act as a vanguard, all had careful thoughts, but now, many people regret it.
Whoever attacks Henan Mansion first means that whoever can seize that great fortune, which is not as simple as millions of dollars and grain, and some people even estimate that this number is even a hundred times and a thousand times higher on this basis.
Ordinary people are already rich people with tens of thousands of dollars, and they may not be able to eat it all in a few lifetimes, but the wealth here is one billion billion, which is enough to make anyone a rich man.
Wei Chenliang took advantage of the situation and issued a military order to seize Luoyang and allow it to be sacked for three days, inside and outside the coalition army, there was thunderous cheering, everyone's eyes were already red, and everyone understood that if he really entered Luoyang, he would be able to take care of it from now on.
It doesn't take much morale boost, and it doesn't take any incendiary words, three days of looting is enough to put everyone at risk.
More than 100,000 coalition troops have been assembled in Xingyang one after another, and then they began to rush towards Henan Mansion.
After dozens of miles, he camped here that night.
The only thing that made Wei Chenliang unhappy was that he originally thought that there was a place to loot along the way, at least a small city, but there was a small town, and there were a lot of markets, but who knew that he was rushing to kill, but there was not even a figure, there was no trace of people and animals, and the wheat in the field was ripe, but after all, his army was not here to cut the wheat, and it was crazy to delay so much effort and harvest these grains.
He was a little incredulous about this.
In less than ten days, so many people and animals have been transferred, do these people from the Divine Wisdom Mansion have three heads and six arms?
After all, in this relatively loose era, it is difficult for the government to grasp even below the county level, and almost all localities rely on autonomy, the so-called autonomy seems to sound quite lofty, but the autonomy of this era, to a certain extent, is almost equivalent to letting everyone watch the sky and eat, eat and wait for death, and it is almost difficult for the government to do anything when it encounters anything, and the only thing that can be done is to reluctantly repair bridges, pave roads, and manage lawsuits with the support of local gentry.
The responsibilities of the county's institutions began to be subdivided, and taxation, education, infrastructure, water conservancy, and commerce were all managed.
The reason why this is so, on the one hand, is the development of productive forces, the productivity here is enough to support more officials, enough to make the county have more space to do things, on the other hand, it is also because of the prosperity of commerce, to promote the prosperity of all industries, many things, the county has to manage, once laissez-faire, how dare businessmen come?
As early as a dozen days ago, the counties near Luoyang had begun to clear the wilderness, and the county was full of conscription ships, population transfers, and supplies, and naturally they would never let the enemy troops who entered the country take advantage of anything.
Hundreds of officials in the county, together with the local defenders, as well as the appointed pavilion chiefs and lieutenant chiefs, once they moved, the effect was amazing.
Wei Chenliang couldn't understand it, but it was understandable, but then, a scout came with news: "In the northwest direction, a thief army has been found." ”
What the......
Wei Chenliang was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't turn his brain a little, how could there be a thief army here, isn't it a joke, didn't Qin Shaoyou come out of the nest and go to Hangu Pass? There are obviously not many defenders left here, even if there are a few thousand people, they are not afraid, but once there is such an urgent report, it is obviously not as simple as more than a thousand people, where did these people come from?
After all, even Hangu Pass has confirmed the news that Qin Shaoyou led the main force Chen soldiers to Hangu Pass, if Qin Shaoyou really led the army to help, it doesn't seem right, Hangu Pass is far from here, and if you want to rescue, it will take at least nearly a month's effort, that is to say, even if Qin Shaoyou wants to block the coalition army, it will be twenty days later, where did these people come from now? (To be continued.) )
