Chapter 562: Weakness of the Karma Hu
On the battlefield of Zhuoxian, the Liaodong Army and the Shijiahu Army were in a fierce battle, and the two sides were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Beigong Chun's iron cavalry swept the leaves in the autumn wind and entered the rear army of Qianhu, and after being intercepted by Shi Hu's efforts, he was temporarily unable to break through the blockade of the other party.
The Chinese army commanded by Wei Shuo suffered heavy casualties due to the strong impact of the Shile cavalry, and could only fight desperately to snipe the Hulu who broke through the siege.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the infantry phalanx of the Liaodong Army was in danger under Shi Le's fierce attack, and the triple spear array at the forefront was all broken through by Hu Lu. Yao Lan and Yao Yisheng, who were attacking the rear army of Hu Lu at the critical moment, each led their cavalry to attack the front army of Hu Lu from both flanks, forcing Shi Le to temporarily slow down the crazy impact on the front of the army.
The central army of the Liaodong Army finally got a chance to breathe, and under the command of generals at all levels, they immediately regrouped and regrouped to stubbornly resist Hulu's attack. At the same time, all those who could pick up swords and guns, including crossbowmen, were mobilized to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Before the tight battle formation, Shile only blindly emphasized the fierce attack, which was very effective, but also caused serious losses to his subordinates. And because Shi Le was bent on using the Han soldiers from the Jin people as cannon fodder, the Jin soldiers were resentful, if it weren't for the fear of Hu Lu's revenge, I am afraid that those Jin soldiers would have rebelled long ago.
But even so, before he knew it, he had planted the root of his defeat, and this was precisely caused by Shile himself.
Lu Qian was originally born as a lieutenant of Jin and guarded Xuchang, but he was not appreciated by his boss because of his humble background. After Shi Le killed Shi Tanbin, the assassin of Yanzhou, Lu Qian knew that he was invincible, so he surrendered to Shi Le with Xuchang. Originally, Lu Qian was not reused by Shile, but due to the rapid expansion of Xiangguo's army later, a large number of Jin people were recruited, so that Lu Qian gradually got the opportunity to lead the army.
However, the real turning point in Lu Qian's fate was after being rebelled by Zhang Bin, and now Lu Qian has become one of the secret chess pieces planted in Liaodong in the Qianhu, and he received Zhang Bin's secret order to help Liaodong complete the important task of gathering and destroying Hulu at a critical moment.
Lu Qian was both excited and apprehensive after receiving the secret order, Liaodong could hand over such an important task to him, which showed that the other party attached great importance to his surrender, which made him a little more confident in joining Liaodong in the future.
But at the same time, due to his own lack of strength, Lu Qian didn't know where to start to help Liaodong. Originally, he wanted to defect directly before the battle, but later found that this plan was too dangerous, and it was very likely that before he could run to Liaodong, he would be cut into meat puree.
Just when Lu Qian was helpless, he suddenly found that the soldiers around him were full of war-weariness, and there were many soldiers from the Jin people who always did not work hard, and even kept cursing Hu Lu in their mouths.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qian's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to Liu Zheng, another general from the Jin people, and complained: "Lao Liu can't fight like this anymore, the casualties of the Han army are too great!" The defensive position laid by the Liaodong Army was very solid, and the Liaodong soldiers were also unhurried to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the attack and defense were very orderly. ”
"On the other hand, our army only knows how to rush and fight with red eyes. The brothers gathered in front of the battle formation of the Liaodong Army and were slaughtered by them like targets. ”
Liu Zheng had already killed his eyes, where could he hear Lu Qian's advice, still shouting and waving his war knife to rush forward.
If it weren't for the defeat of Hu Lu, Lu Qian didn't want to care about Liu Zheng's stunned youth, but he still grabbed Liu Zheng and loudly dissuaded: "Old Liu, calm down, what will you do after your brothers are all dead?" ”
When Liu Zheng heard this, his original impatient mood calmed down a little, and he glared at Lu Qian and said, "Then what do you say?" Without King Zhao's order, who would dare to retreat privately? Unless you and I don't want to live! ”
"It's naturally not okay to disobey the military order and then retreat, but we can act for outsiders to see, just ask everyone to make the momentum bigger, but don't really go up and fight. Anyway, it's all a pot of porridge right now, and no one can pay attention to our little movements. For us, it doesn't matter which side wins, it's about us having to survive with our brothers. ”
……
The battlefield was filled with the muffled sound of war drums, loud trumpets, and the rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the crisp sound of gold and iron, while the hoarse shouts of soldiers and the smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun roared violently around.
Xie Ai and Duan Wenyang were surrounded by a pair of personal guard cavalry, looking at the battlefield in the distance, trying to find the best opportunity to attack.
Originally, Duan Wenyang was going to kill him directly, but he was stopped by Xie Ai.
Xie Ai raised his head and looked at the white clouds on the blue sky, and his thoughts couldn't help but fly back to a few years ago. At that time, Xie Ai had just succeeded in his studies and planned to do a good job, but he was full of bags in Liangzhou. Just when he was full of despair, he heard the news that the imperial examination was held in Liaodong.
It was precisely by participating in the imperial examination and meeting Da Sima that Xie Ai's fate changed dramatically. I don't know why, Da Sima attached great importance to him, first recommended him to enter the martial arts academy for further study, and secondly, he gave him many opportunities to lead troops and train independently, so that Xie Ai quickly grew into a leader among the young generals in the Liaodong Army.
And this time, he was given the heavy responsibility of being alone, commanding Yao Yizhong, Duan Wenyang, and Ji Tang to be responsible for encircling and destroying Zhixiong and cutting off Hulu's retreat.
Xie Ai lived up to expectations, destroyed Zhixiong very neatly, and killed Ma Qiu by luring the enemy, and completed the important task given by the great Sima before the war.
After taking the three counties of Changshan, Zhongshan and Gaoyang, Xie Ai was not satisfied, he asked Ji Tang and Yao Yizhong to lead 20,000 troops to garrison the three counties respectively, while he took Duan Wenyang and the four-chamber cavalry to quickly go north to participate in the battle of encircling and annihilating the main force of Hulu.
As the battlefield looms deadlocked, Shay must find a way to break it as soon as possible. And the reason why he prevented Duan Wenyang from boldly joining the battlefield was because Xie Ai knew very well that compared to the melee of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides of the enemy and us, the role of 10,000 cavalry was really limited, and it was impossible to break the deadlock.
After observing with clairvoyance for a long time, Xie Ai suddenly pointed to Duan Wenyang in the Qihu formation and said, "General Duan, you see, those Han troops in the Qihu formation seem to be a little incompatible with the Qihu soldiers?" I heard that Qianhu never treats Jin people as human beings, and most of the soldiers are forcibly recruited, maybe we can seize this point to make a fuss! ”
Hearing this, Duan Wenyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a little expectation: "I don't know what the best plan for the World Festival is?" ”
Since successfully encircling and annihilating Zhixiong and killing Ma Qiu, Duan Wenyang has admired Xie Ai so much that he has thrown himself to the ground. If it is said that the encirclement and annihilation of Zhixiong is still carried out in accordance with the deployment of the Military Division, then the lure and annihilation of Ma Qiu can be said to give full play to Xie Ai's strategy.
"General Duan, have you ever heard of the embattled strategy of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"
"When I was studying in the Martial Arts Academy, I heard Da Sima personally explain this plan, saying what kind of psychological warfare it was, but I didn't understand it anyway. I only know that when Liu Gong was stationed in Jinyang, he also blew away tens of thousands of Hun troops outside the city with a mustache, saving the safety of Jinyang, which is quite similar to the embattled plan of the Marquis of Huaiyin. ”
"That's right, embattled and a song of mustache are classic psychological tactics, taking advantage of the homesickness and war-weariness of the enemy's soldiers to force the enemy commander to retreat. Today, at least more than half of the people in the Qianhu army are from Jin. Except for a few people who forgot their ancestors, most of the soldiers did not really work for Hu Lu. ”
"If the Qihu battle is invincible, then these soldiers from the Jin people must not dare to make any changes. But at present, the army of Qianhu is surrounded by our Liaodong Army, and the people are panicking inside Qianhu, if we can successfully plot against the Jin soldiers in Hulu, even if only tens of thousands of people defect, it will be enough to affect the trend of this battle. ”
"I have to say that this strategy is very vicious and effective, but what can we do to make those Jin-born Qianghu soldiers turn against them?"
Although Duan Wenyang agreed with Xie Ai's idea, he still raised his own questions.
General Duan is not in a hurry, and listen to the next one, wait for the cavalry of the four compartments not to rush into the formation to fight, but to circle around the entire battlefield, and shout at Hu Lu while running: The Jin people don't fight the Jin people! Hulu has been defeated! and other slogans. ”
After listening to Xie Ai's explanation, Duan Wenyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Xie Ai's thoughts. Obviously, the other party borrowed from the embattled tactics of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and planned to carry out psychological warfare against the soldiers from the Jin Dynasty in the middle of the Qianhu. Make full use of the feelings of the Jin people to win over and divide the enemy. (To be continued.) )
