Chapter 1004: The Battle of the Spring Festival IV
He Pang Tong is by no means a person who will not fight back after being beaten, and this time the Wei army suddenly launched an attack on Youzhou, which is a very crisis for the Blood Wolf Legion.
But there are dangers, and there are opportunities.
If at this time, a group of soldiers and horses that the Wei army could not think of participated in and became the reinforcements of the Wu army, then the situation of the battle situation would be completely different, and maybe the battle situation could be reversed and swallow the main force of the Wei army.
After all, Youzhou is the main battlefield of the Blood Wolf Legion.
Now that the Wu army has been beaten suddenly, as long as he breathes a sigh of relief, with the advantage of the main battlefield, he will not have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
"Chief of Staff Pang, we have fought one after another with the Xianbei tribe on the grassland, and we and Xianbei are about to have a feud, at this time, they are already very good if they don't fall into the well, how can they send troops to assist us?"
Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned, looked at Pang Tong's strange face, and said in disbelief.
Asking for help?
In his mind, this was obviously something impossible.
In recent years, Dongwu has controlled the land of northern Xinjiang, and is the absolute hegemon in Youzhou and Zhou, and it is very strong, and it has recovered foreign races again and again, and even the Xiongnu are almost convinced, and naturally the Xianbei tribe on the grassland in the north is like fire and water.
The Xianbei tribe now has two major tribes as the core, one is Kebineng, who has been stationed in the Youzhou grassland for many years, and the other is Budugen, which is on the grassland of Bingzhou.
But whether it is Kebineng or Budugen, their attitude towards Wu Jun is not very friendly.
In the Northern Xinjiang Campaign that year, Kebineng fought several bloody battles with the Wu army, and fought a river of blood, and then for a long time was pressed by the Wu army in the nest and did not dare to move, and now this period of time can be regarded as recovering.
And Budugen is even more miserable. In the battle of Shuofang in Bingzhou the year before last, he stood on Cao Wei's side, went south to Youzhou, and wanted to capture Yanmen Pass, but was blocked by Cao Xing, and Budugen's tribal nest was also copied by Lu Lan's cavalry. In the end, he had to lead the tribe to withdraw from the state, enter Youzhou, and take refuge in Kebineng.
For them, the Wu army is the enemy.
At this time, the Wu army was facing the crisis of the Wei army, but it wanted to ask for aid to the Xianbei tribe, whether it was Kebineng or Budugen, it was impossible to send troops.
"Commander Cao, now that we haven't tried, how do we know that they can't send troops?"
Pang Tong took a deep breath. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered: "The so-called bustle in the world is all for profit, although we were enemies before, but as long as we have interests in the Xianbei tribe, it is possible to induce them to send troops to help!" ”
"Is the chief of staff confident?"
Hearing this, Cao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked tentatively.
"Confidence? No! ”
Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said very calmly: "But no matter what." We have to try, because we have any other option now. Isn't it? ”
"You're right!"
When Cao Xing heard this, a helpless look suddenly appeared on his face, the Wei army fought too fast, if it could be delayed for two months, they would not be so passive, but now the Blood Wolf Legion did not react at all.
And the corps forces were too widely dispersed. The Seventeenth Army is in Yanmen, the Eighteenth Army is in Daijun, and only the Nineteenth Army is left, and they can completely break through the opportunities one by one.
"Cao Xing, Dai Jun. I handed over the control to you, it is already a foregone conclusion that the Wei army will go north, Lejin will definitely attack Daijun, the strategy I give you is to retreat as an advance, don't touch them hard, drag them into the north, but entangle them, don't let them go east to Jicheng, the battle situation in Jicheng can't stand the toss! ”
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Pang Tong gritted his teeth, his eyes had a touch of resolution, and said: "I want to go north to the prairie in person, no matter what, I must go to meet Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen, even if there is a little chance, I must persuade them to send troops!" ”
"Chief of Staff, if you go in person, will it be too risky, they are not from the Central Plains, they don't understand the interests of the Central Plains, and they don't understand the rules of the two countries fighting each other, and they don't kill the envoys, if they leave you, wouldn't it be ......?"
"That's not so much to care about now!"
Pang Tong's back straightened, and his expression was resolute and persistent: "Now the situation in Youzhou is critical, only if I go in person, it can be regarded as sincerity, and the entire Youzhou can convince them, and only me!" ”
――――――――――――――
Spring in March, the flower season in April, the spring day in northern Xinjiang, under the melting of ice and snow, there is a sign of rejuvenation in all things.
Gwangyang County.
The county seat, Gwangyang City.
Inside and outside the city, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, the city has been heavily surrounded by the Wei army's left guards, and the troops are concentrated on the south city gate, and the defenders in the city are the 56th Division of the 18th Army of the Wu Army's Blood Wolf Legion.
Under the confrontation between the two armies, a major war is about to break out.
Chen Chen, the commander of the 56th Division, dressed in military uniform, with a straight body and a big sword in his hand, stood on the gate of the south city gate, staring at the Wei army under the city.
Behind him, regiment commanders and battalion commanders stood solemnly.
"It seems that the Wei army is about to attack the city!"
Chen Chen's gaze was a hint of gloom.
"Division commander, the commander is here to report, let's block it for five days at any cost!"
The chief of staff of the 56th Division stood up and reported it.
"Five days?"
When Chen Chen heard this, he gritted his teeth and calculated in his heart: "If it is only the strength of the Wei army outside the city, I can hold it for five days, or even ten days and half a month, but if the Wei army increases its troops, I may not be able to hold it!" ”
"Division commander, there are only 12,000 soldiers and horses in the 56th Division, and the number of troops is insufficient, or we will recruit some young men in the city to help defend the city!" The chief of staff suggested: "I guess it will last a few more days!" ”
"It's useless!"
Chen Chen listened to his suggestion, thought about it in his heart, and a wry smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "You all know the current situation very well, Guangyang City is bound to be a bloody battle, a bloody battle of this scale, veterans may not be able to withstand it, and there is no morale when gathering young and strong, maybe it will drag us back and send us to death in vain!" ”
This is no longer the period at the end of the previous dynasty, when the number of soldiers and horses in various places was general. The combat effectiveness is underground, as long as you pull out some young and strong people casually, you can even form an army.
In today's world, Wu and Wei are competing for hegemony, whether it is the Wu army or the Wei army, the soldiers under their command are all elite soldiers and horses who have undergone strict training.
If you use ordinary young men and women to face these elite soldiers and horses. It has no combat effectiveness at all, and it is easy to form a big rout, and maybe it will cause chaos among its own elite soldiers and horses.
When the time comes, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Knock knock knock!!!!!
At this time, the drums under the city suddenly sounded, and the wave after wave of drumming and fighting sounded above the nine heavens.
This heralded the beginning of the Wei army's offensive.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Wei army opened a long snake army formation, approaching step by step from outside the city, and the black pressure made the soldiers on the city a little frightened.
"Bow and arrow regiment. Prepare now! ”
The face of Chen Chen, the general of the Wu army who defended the city, suddenly became serious, he held a big sword in his hand, and let out a loud shout, so that the bow and arrow regiment under his command entered the first defensive position.
"Division commander, Han Yu reports!"
The commander of the bow regiment came forward.
"Han Yu, the bow and arrow regiment is the main combat power, you remember, at any cost. Stop them from crossing the moat as much as you can, and kill them as much as you can! ”
Chen Chen's broadsword pointed at the moat outside the city. Shouted.
"No!"
The commander of the bow regiment threw out all the heavy crossbows and bows of the bow and arrows and fired at the moat outside the city.
"Shoot!"
Woohoo!!
Rounds of arrows rained out and shot out of the city.
"Shoot again!"
With the movement of the Wu army's bow and arrow regiment on the city wall, a piece of bows and arrows like raindrops fell from the sky and fell into the front and back of the moat, covering the entire position of the moat.
"Shieldmen. Block the bow and arrow shots, order me to face the archers, shoot the head of the city, and cover our advance with color! ”
Yu Ban was the vanguard general of the Wei army. Personally led the soldiers to forcibly cross the moat: "All the soldiers, continue to build the pontoon bridge, and cross the moat within an hour!" ”
Guangyang's offensive and defensive bloody battle started at this moment.
"Three days, tell Yu Ban, we only have three days, within three days, no matter what, we must take Guangyang City!"
Zhang Liao's tall body stood in front of the gate of the Wei army's camp, with a telescope in his hand, staring at the city in detail, and gave an order without hesitation.
"No!"
A soldier went down to deliver the order.
"How long will it take for Xiahou Yuan's right martial guard to enter Youzhou?" Zhang Liao looked at a general beside him and asked.
"Report to the general, General Xiahou Yuan has entered the river, at least in two days, you can meet us and wait!"
"Come, let him speed up, and let his cavalry go first, I need his soldiers and horses to reinforce Guangyang, only if Guangyang is broken, we can drive straight in!" Zhang Liao said.
"Yes!"
"General, just now there is news from the state that Ma Chao has successfully contained the seventeenth army of the Blood Wolf Legion, but the eighteenth army in Daijun has not moved, they did not choose to give up Daijun to go south to Zhuojun to join the division, but chose to stick to Daijun!"
Tian Feng was beside Zhang Liao and said debriefingly.
"What is Pang Tong thinking?" Zhang Liao frowned.
"It's not very clear now, but he didn't have the first time to go south to join the teacher, which means that he must have other plans in mind, but he doesn't know what he is planning?"
Tian Feng's eyes became solemn: "I fought with him in Bingzhou, this person is young, but he can't be underestimated!" ”
"Forget it, it's more important for us to take Jicheng now, as for Pang Tong, at this time, he can't play any tricks!"
Zhang Liao's eyes were cold: "As long as Cao Hong's soldiers and horses can defeat the Black Mountain Army and enter Dai County, the Eighteenth Army can only face a collapse situation!" ”
This time the battle of mobilizing the four guards was a very large-scale battle, and the Wu army in Youzhou was insufficient, which was their dead end.
"Tian Feng!" Zhang Liao suddenly sounded a critical matter.
"General!" Tian Feng stood up.
"You personally go to Fangcheng, at any cost, you must take down the Wu army in Anci City, no matter what, you must control the port of Youzhou and delay the sea reinforcements of the Wu army!" Zhang Liao said instructively.
"No!"
Tian Feng nodded and took the order. (To be continued.) )
