Chapter Seventy-Nine: Losing Both

However, in the face-to-face collision, although Wen Chou is very good at using it in personal battles, but when fighting between armies, Wen Chou still does not particularly hope for it, because such battles are all about killing a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred!

Generally speaking, between the battles of the army, Wen Chou is still good at using some small tricks, and is good at playing some of his own little cleverness. This time will be no exception, not to mention having half of Tian Chou's ministers by his side! Wen Chou will not waste it!

And Tian Chou is also very powerful, and put forward several feasible suggestions for Wen Chou. made Wen Chou shout in his heart, "It's still easy to have a strategist by your side, if there is a top strategist by your side, wouldn't it be a happy death!" Of course, these are just the sighs of Wen Chou alone.

In this way, the army of Wen Chou began the second confrontation with General Lang of Tongping and Zhang Yan, the marshal of Daqu in Montenegro! It was also the first large-scale, all-round confrontation.

First of all, Wen Chou used the strategy given by Tian Chou to make a small pit for Zhang Yanzhi's army, which made Zhang Yanzhi's army drop sharply. followed by a series of schemes, which made Zhang Yanzhi's army suffer a loss. Before it could face the Wenchou army, it had already lost hundreds of troops. However, these hundreds of troops are really nothing to the current strength of Zhang Yanzhi.

After that, it was the army of Wen Chou, and the army of Zhang Yan had a face-to-face battle! This is a large-scale battle! 20,000 men fought in the wilderness! That's swords and swords, swords and bones! It can be seen that it is tragic. The first big battle was fought directly from noon to sunset! The soldiers on both sides fell in waves and waves! It's still a stalemate.

Before night came, the gong finally sounded on the battlefield, and it was the sound that these fighting soldiers were most looking forward to, especially after the battle had entered a stalemate. Advancing with drums and retreating with gold is an iron law that they remember the most since they joined the army!

The first day of contact passed amid a large number of casualties on both sides. At this time, battle reports from other directions also indicate that there is already a battle in other places, or that it is fighting! But on the first day of the encounter, none of the sides achieved any significant results!

Such a result was unexpected by Zhang Yan, according to his thoughts, even if his own preparation was not very sufficient. But there is no problem with Wen Chou, who is not yet mature in attacking forces, not to mention that he also vigorously invited the other three Qu Shuai to act together. Their total strength is far superior to that of Wen Chou!

However, they didn't expect that Wen Chou's call in his jurisdiction was so powerful that the people under his jurisdiction all had the idea of helping to defend their homeland, and they all had the consciousness of assisting the soldiers to resist the invasion! Moreover, he didn't expect that Wen Chou's strength would be much better than the last encounter! So that he did not occupy much initiative and advantage in this confrontation!

Then the development of things was relatively peaceful, and the two sides had a stalemate and fought for two or three days, and the infusion was not good for anyone! The battle between the two armies is also becoming more and more cautious! In the past, there were some strategies that could be effective, but after that, it was the action of the two parties to see the plan and dismantle the plan. Even so. Wen Chou is still in a weak position, and the balance of victory is slowly tilting towards Zhang Yan, as long as it reaches a limit, there will be a rout of Wen Chou's army! However, this tilt is very slow.

It wasn't until the fourth day of the battle that Zhao Yun led a thousand elites to help Wen Chou after a series of entanglements! The significance of Zhao Yun's arrival is still very huge for Wen Chou, this is not only Zhao Yun leading the army to help him, but also showing that Zhao Yun has passed the cut in his heart. and agreed with what Wen Chou did in Gaoyi County, the house, and even Shahe! Doesn't this mean that it is not far from Zhao Yun to return to himself?!

Zhao Yun led the army to come, but for Zhang Yan, it was a headache! At present, there are Yan Liang, Wen Ba, and Wen Chou in the army of ugliness, which of these three people is no less than their own existence! Wen Chou and Yan Liang are even more powerful than themselves! Now there is an even more powerful Zhao Yun! Does this still give Zhang Yan a way to live? Moreover, Zhao Yun also brought a thousand soldiers he had trained! How weak can the soldiers trained by Zhao Yun be?!

The arrival of Zhao Yun. It brought different changes to the battlefield, and the balance of victory began to waver. And the battle in other directions has also begun to enter a white-hot state. The other thieves who were not very helpful began to become more and more impatient after receiving strong resistance from the army of Wen Chou.

In this way, the fighting between the two sides continued for another three or four days. By this time, both parties had become exhausted! Although I know that it goes on like this. However, for more than ten days, there will definitely be one side that will not be able to hold on, which will cause a chain failure of the entire combat system! But will they be able to hold out until that day?

Seven or eight days of fighting have already caused a third of the casualties on both sides!

Two days later, I came to the sixth year of Zhongping. On April 10, the weather was a little gloomy. It's like condemning the people below who are facing each other, and condemning them for not doing what they should be doing during the harvest season, but for doing such senseless consumption! If the ripe ears of wheat are not collected in the warehouse, I am afraid that the agricultural time will be delayed!

On this day, on the battlefield in the direction of Gaoyi County, Lu Liang frowned, looked at the remnants of the bandits not far ahead, and looked back at the equally tired remnants of his side. I made a decision. It's a big win or a crushing defeat! But the current erosion situation makes it necessary to make such a decision. A decision that concerns the people.

Subsequently, it did not surprise Wen Chou's expectations and expectations, and finally there was a breakthrough here in Lu Liang, so that only two thousand of the eight thousand thieves in Qingniujiao returned to Zhao State. After that, I immediately went to Taolin Sai, and together with the Taolin soldiers, defeated the Yellow Dragon Thief!

When the news reached the battlefield of Wen Chou and Zhang Yan, the two armies chose to retreat very tacitly! This is the wisest choice. Wen Chou didn't have the time and energy to entangle with Zhang Yan anymore. And Zhang Yan has no hope of victory, so why not go back early and make the next plan.

After learning that there was no hope of victory, Yu Yigen, who was in the direction of the house county, led the thieves and robbers, carrying the wealth and food looted from around the house county, and calmly returned to Shangai. If you want to say that the winner of this battle, it may be only Yu Yigen's family!

This time the battle passed like this, and ended after both armies had suffered huge damage!

In this battle, the casualties of the military and civilians on the Wenchou side reached nearly 10,000! What a huge number! Even after the rise of Wen Chou, after several wars, there were not so many casualties! What's more, there are three or four thousand of them who are their own elite soldiers! For Wen Chou, the huge loss is basically half of the troops, which requires a period of rest to recover.

And the manpower lost by Zhang Yan's side was no less than that of Wen Chou, also more than 10,000, and there were even thieves in Taolin and Gaoyi and three or four thousand people who were captured by Wen Chou's army! And Zhang Yan's 10,000 troops also lost as much as four or five thousand! It can be regarded as a knockdown of his power!

After the battle, although the losses were great, Wen Chou and the others didn't have time to check it, because there was still a farmer urging them! If you take a step later, this season's harvest will be saved, but the next season's harvest will be halved or even reduced!

In this way, after the battle, Wen Chou commanded everyone's villagers, Qianshou, etc., to start another battle! A battle against the time of day! A race at the same time.

This time, whether it was a soldier, a citizen, a nobleman, or an official, all of them had to go down to the fields and fields to do agricultural work. This is a labor of the whole people.

At this time, there was also a major event in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, a major event that was enough to affect the entire region of the empire! That is, when today's son Liu Hong has died! Left behind the succession problem that he had been entangled with and passed away! What a big deal!

To be precise, Liu Hong's death time was the sixth year of Zhongping, April 11! That is, the day after the battle between Wen Chou and Zhang Yan ended! The appearance is showing something.

But no matter what, Liu Hong's death will definitely have a seismic impact on the entire imperial court! Because who the next Son of Heaven will be has not yet been determined. Of course, now that the general He Jin is in power and can influence the government, then he will definitely choose his nephew Liu Wei as the Son of Heaven, which is also the path taken in history.

However, Liu Wei's reign was short-lived, and after only five months, he had to relinquish the throne to his half-brother Liu Xie. That's why Dong Zhuo became the owner of Luoyang! It is also the product of Dong Zhuo's desire to establish his prestige and influence. Since then, Dong Zhuo, a powerful minister who has been infamous for thousands of years, has stepped onto the stage of history.

But all this is not something that the current Wen Chou can consider, because he is still fighting on the front line of farm work. This is the most important thing for him, because 'the people eat for the sky' is what he remembers. With the joint efforts of Wen Chou and his 200,000 soldiers and civilians, they were still able to catch up with the agricultural time, and before the agricultural time was completely over, they sowed the corn seeds in their hands. This is a popular victory.

At that moment, the entire Gaoyi County, House County, Pingjian County, etc. were cheering and excited, and there was no sense of loss in the previous battle. (To be continued......)
