On the battlefield of Youzhou, Shi Le led an elite army of 400,000 and gradually approached Zhuoxian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is a very powerful force, which makes Xue Tao, who is in charge of Zhuo County's defense, feel a lot of pressure.

Originally, Shile had an army of 500,000, but after breaking through Fanyang, in order to ensure the safety of the retreat, he sent another 100,000 troops south to Gaoyang and Zhongshan counties.

"Lord, the whole army is ready to go." Peach Leopard came to ask for instructions.

Shi Le nodded, and said loudly: "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately march towards Zhuoxian." ”

"No!"

With Shi Le's order, the army quickly moved into action, and 400,000 Hu Lu slaughtered towards Zhuo County. Considering that he would have to cross Yishui along the way, and fearing that Liaodong had set up a tight defensive line along the Yishui coast, Shile had to order the army to speed up.

Somehow, as time passed, the uneasiness in Shiler's heart became more and more intense. Originally, he thought that if he entered the territory of Liaodong, he would be able to successfully break through to Zhuoxian and Jicheng. Who knows that this is not the case at all, since entering Liaodong, Qianhu has not met an ordinary Jin person along the way, nor has he found a grain of grain.

It was clear that Liaodong was fully prepared for the invasion of the Liaohu, and in the face of the Liaodong people who were prepared, Shile would have to pay a huge price for every step forward.

Even during the march, when the number of people was less than 3,000, the Qianhu did not dare to act alone, because once they encountered the Liaodong people who were all soldiers, it was very likely that the whole army would be annihilated.

……

When Shi Le was advancing towards Zhuo County step by step, Xue Tao was making final preparations for the arrival of Qianhu.

At the same time, Xue Tao was also ready to fight a bloody battle with Shile in Fanyang, and was more confident that he would achieve the goal of weakening the strength of the Qianhu army through the defense of the city, and lay the foundation for the next step of annihilating Shile's main force.

Although the defenders of Zhuoxian County only had tens of thousands of people, because of the experience of absorbing Xue's fort, Xue Tao had full confidence to block the main force of Shile under the city.

The deployment of the military division is to consume Shile's sharp energy with a strong city, and then encircle and annihilate the opponent with heavy troops. Among them, Zhuo County, which is guarded by Xue Tao, is the top priority, and only if Zhuo County is defended, then the Liaodong Army can hope to eliminate Shile.

"Lord Captain, 50,000 versus 400,000, there is such a huge difference in strength, do you really have the confidence to hold it?"

Faced with the question of recording the matter of joining the army, Xue Tao didn't bother to answer at all, it wasn't that he boasted about Haikou, and when it came to the ability to defend the city, the entire Liaodong Army did not stand out. Many people don't understand the power of the Xue clan's secret method, and when they faced the dock fort guarded by the Xue clan's troops, even the strong Liaodong army was hit by a head and bloodshed.

It can't be blamed for the suspicion of joining the army, it is really Xue Tao who is too young, even if he has performed well in the Battle of Qingzhou, everyone still inevitably doubts him.

In private, many generals felt that Da Sima was too hasty, in the face of such an important place in Zhuo County, not to mention sending generals like Liu Yao or Mao Bao to sit in charge, even if they wanted to send young generals, they should also send Yang Hu, no matter what, everyone did not expect Da Sima to hand over such a heavy task to Xue Tao.

Originally, Xue Tao was disdainful to answer, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't contradict his colleagues, so he disagreed and said: "Hehe, I have too much to worry about joining the army, it's not a certain boast, let alone 400,000 Hulu, it's 600,000 or 800,000, and I have the confidence to hold it." ”

"Have you forgotten how these 50,000 soldiers came to be? In the past two years, they haven't done anything else, just trained how to defend the city, plus the assistance of various city defense equipment, and they can't deal with any Hulu? ”

Recording the matter of joining the army was obviously stunned, and then secretly thought about it, and found that things were as Xue Tao said. The 50,000 defenders are specially trained and proficient in various techniques for defending the city, coupled with the abundant storage of various materials in the city, Hu Lu really doesn't want to easily break through the city.

"Having said that, the stakes are high in this battle, so the captain should be more cautious." Joining the army kindly reminded.

"Please rest assured that if you join the army, you will guarantee your life, and there will be no mistakes in this battle." Xue Tao assured with a serious face.

"Lord Captain, there is still something unclear below, why don't you use the Yishui defense line to consume Hulu first?"

Faced with the incomprehensible record of joining the army, Xue Tao explained with a smile: "My lord, you should know very well that the ultimate goal of our army in this battle is to completely annihilate the main force of the Hu, and to accomplish this goal, you must first lure the Qianhu to the north, and secondly, you must realize the intention of encircling the Hulu." ”

"But what does this have to do with abandoning the Yishui Defense Line?"

"The reason why X gave up the Yishui defense line today is to make good use of this defense line in the future. To tell the truth, the Yishui defense line was not very important to Zhuoxian, because it was impossible for Liaodong to let Qianhu lose too much on the shore of Yishui, otherwise Shile would most likely not dare to continue to go deeper. ”

"On the contrary, once Hulu easily crosses Yishui, it is easy to reduce the vigilance of Yishui, and when the main force of the army comes up in the future, it can rely on Yishui to rearrange the interception line, and wait for work at ease, and severely damage the Hulu army."

"Oh! I see, the captain is far-sighted, and it is better to be humble! Joining the army said with reverence on his face when he heard this.

Xue Tao said: "The scout has just reported, and now Shi Le is leading an army of 400,000 to kill in the direction of Zhuoxian, including 30 infantry and 100,000 cavalry. With such a powerful force, how can I not be ready for battle in Liaodong? ”

After exchanging views with the soldiers, Xue Tao carefully inspected the four sides of the city wall and found that the defenders were in a stable mood and were not panicked by the large-scale invasion of Hulu. On the contrary, most of the defending officers and men were confident in the battle, and did not lose confidence in the Liaodong Army because of the fall of Fanyang.

Seeing this situation, Xue Tao nodded with satisfaction, no matter how talented he was, he had to rely on the soldiers in front of him to achieve it, fortunately, the Liaodong Army had done a very good job in ideological work at peacetime, although everyone was a little nervous, but they did not show fear.

On the way back, Xue Tao even saw that many Taoist priests were busy back and forth, soothing the emotions of ordinary soldiers in front of the station on the one hand, and using their superb medical skills to solve problems for the soldiers on the other hand.

Just a few days after Xue Tao's inspection, Shi Le and his 400,000 troops arrived at the city of Zhuoxian. Previously, Shi Le had sent countless scouts to inquire about the news, and he had already found out everything in Zhuoxian County.

"Ji Long, you have fought against the guard general Xue Tao in Guanggu, let's introduce the other party first." Shi Le asked, pointing at Shi Hu.

Shi Hu stood up with an ugly face, the battle of Qingzhou can be said to be one of the only shames in his life, defeated at the hands of a few stinky boys in Liaodong, and nearly 100,000 troops were almost wiped out. If it weren't for the desperate rescue of his subordinates, even he himself would have almost been left in Qingzhou.

Speaking of which, Shi Hu has rarely suffered defeats since the army, but the only few defeats were all given by the Liaodong people, how not to let him hate the Liaodong army to the core.

Although Shi Hu was reluctant, he still seriously introduced: "Xue Tao was born in the Xue clan in Hedong, and he is the best among the young generation of generals in Liaodong. He has no other skills, but he has a lot of experience in defending the city, and I heard that when the Liaodong Army went south to clear the Hedong family, he suffered a big loss on Xue's Wubao. ”

"It seems that this Xue Tao is not easy to deal with!" Shi Le's brow furrowed.

"The lord is too worried, even if Xue Tao is good at guarding, how long can he defend in the face of my 400,000 army?" Peach Leopard said dismissively.

"Humph! You know what?! How many generals have fallen on the battlefield because they despise their opponents, do you want to follow in their footsteps? ”

Shi Le reprimanded the peach leopard fiercely, and when he was done, he glanced at the generals again and said, "I warn you once again, our opponent this time is Liaodong, this is a very powerful opponent, and the slightest carelessness may plunge my Qiang clan into a place of no return." Therefore, I hope that everyone will cheer up and never be careless. ”

"In order to take Zhuoxian as soon as possible, I plan to divide the four city walls to the four generals to be responsible, and Taobao, Kong Chang, Zhiqu Liu, and Zhang Xiong will each lead 20,000 horses to attack."

"Remember! I only give you five days, and after five days, you must take Zhuo County! If you fail, you will be asked! ”

This time, Shi Le made a big decision, mobilized 80,000 troops at a time, and sent four generals of Qihu to go out, apparently to capture Zhuoxian in one go. It's a pity that the opponent he faced this time was not ordinary, and after planting a head in Zhuoxian in the future, Shi Le understood how difficult Xue Tao was. (To be continued.) )
