Chapter 830: A Place to Stand
Chu State broke through Jieting, no matter how quickly the Liangzhou army responded, it would take time to get a return, it would take time to respond, it would take time to dispatch urgently, and it would take time to deploy troops to attack.
On the contrary, although the main forces of Chu have different characteristics, they have several commonalities, which have been gradually cultivated since the early days of the army, it can be said that from top to bottom in Chu State, civil and military officers are inadvertently infected by this characteristic, without exception, even Wei and Wu are deeply afraid.
A few features are actually simple to say, that is, fast enough! Ruthless enough! Weird!
It's really not so easy to do, the formation of this style is the formation of countless heroes and soldiers in more than 20 years of battle, with blood and tears, sweat and spirit, with wisdom and experience to build, to pile up, one by one, from generation to generation, from veteran to new, has long been integrated into the bones of the soldiers of Chu State.
When Liangzhou lost the street pavilion, it was already destined to inevitably suffer a round of heavy losses.
The civil and military forces of the State of Chu and the soldiers of the State of Chu will never waste any time on the battlefield and waste any opportunities, the more they are in a large-scale battle, the more elaborate they are almost terrifying. This point is deeply understood by the Wei State from Cao Cao to the civil and military forces, and the Wu State also thinks so!
At the top level of the two countries, there is now a consensus, that is, if the army of Chu is given a chance, don't try to make up for it, only reorganize the troops and horses, redeploy and fight again in the new situation, it is the best policy! If not, it will only fall deeper and deeper, and it will be too late to regret it!
It is a pity that Liangzhou has never really engaged the main force of Chu in an all-out war. They didn't feel any pain at all. How to have enough awareness.
Chen went to pursue Xun Chen's department. Non-stop, straight to the birds.
Zhao Yun pursued Su Zebu, tossed and turned, and still rushed to the Bird Clan.
While Yan Liang broke through the street pavilion, he sent troops to Luoyang, and Liao Hua sent troops to Longxian.
This is such a fast speed, when Ma Yi learned that the street pavilion was lost, Yan Liang was only thirty or forty miles away from Luoyang. The street pavilion was not lost earlier, who will station heavy troops in the hinterland of Luoyangtun without danger? There are only a few hundred soldiers and horses in the city who are responsible for guarding the supplies, and the supreme general is guarding the town, and when Yan Liang's soldiers come to the city, they are in danger.
Ma Yi urgently ordered Hu Zun and the candidate rate of 4,000 elite cavalry to gallop to aid Luoyang, and Ma Zun and Cheng Yin led 6,000 iron cavalry to aid Longxian, intending to keep these two places, so as to reduce the impact of the loss of Jieting, and seek an opportunity to counterattack, in order to avoid being encircled and reinforced. He also specially told the two troops and horses to be careful of ambushes.
In his opinion, such caution should not be wrong.
But in fact. His understanding of the State of Chu was not as clear as he imagined, and if it was so easy to deal with, then Cao Cao and the Sun family would not be so jealous of the State of Chu.
Hu Zunhe was halfway through the journey, and he was really ambushed by Yan Liang, but because he had been prepared and deployed properly, he could fight hard.
They are all Liangzhou cavalry, outstanding combat power, but Yan Liang led the Chu army from afar, of course the body is not so good, the two armies are fighting, even if Yan Liang is brave and fierce, and the command is good, but it is difficult to win, and there is only one way to withdraw for the time being.
Hu Zunzheng was secretly happy, thinking about repelling Yan Liang, and hurried to the county seat of Luoyang as much as possible, and waited for Ma Yi to send more reinforcements, so as to wait for the opportunity to make contributions.
Unexpectedly, when the battle was in full swing, he suddenly heard the sound of earth-shaking drums from the rear, accompanied by the deafening sound of horses' hooves, Liao Hua led three thousand iron horsemen to rush from three directions, and rushed fiercely.
When the Liangzhou warriors were panicked and unprepared, Liao Hua and Yan Liang's two troops and horses attacked back and forth with absolute superiority, and killed Hu Zun in a short period of time and fled.
In fact, Liao Hua's dispatch of troops to Longxian was simply a pretense, and there were actually only more than 1,000 Chu troops in Longxian bluffing. Although this plan is clumsy, it can be used at the right time, at this time, the street pavilion is lost, the dispatch of the various departments in Liangzhou is chaotic, and the information is inconsistent, which is the most difficult time to accurately identify, so it can be successful.
As the old saying goes, there is no good or bad strategy, only whether it is used appropriately and at the right time!
This is not an ambush, this is just a simple sound attack, a roundabout outflanking, and concentrating superior forces to destroy the enemy, and this is just the beginning!
Ma Zun and Cheng Yin were ordered to lead 6,000 iron cavalry to gallop to the aid of Longxian, which should have been more dangerous, but they were confused by the 1,000 cavalry led by Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang complied with the order and let the 1,000 cavalry be loosely arranged, and at the same time dragged the branches behind the horses, guiding the dust to the sky, and it was difficult to distinguish the number of people in a short time. When Ma Zun and Cheng Yin led their troops to arrive in a hurry, they didn't have time to think about it and launched an attack directly.
This move was originally to confuse the enemy, of course Zhao Guang could not engage in the battle, so he led a thousand cavalry to retreat far away, so that Ma Zun and Cheng Yin's six thousand cavalry could chase enough.
When the two of them realized that the shape was wrong, and ordered the army to stop advancing, they had already consumed a lot of body because of the rush and the continuous shouting and pursuit, and at this time, Zhao Guang also shouted at them loudly according to Liao Hua's instructions: "Two generals, why do you need you to chase so hard with thousands of people in my district, if you don't go to save Luoyang, and wait for the Liangzhou soldiers to die, don't blame you for not reminding you, hahahaha............"
The hearty laughter made Ma Zun and Cheng Yin angry, if they can't think of what happened now, then they don't have to lead troops to fight anymore, and they can go home safely and hug their children.
If they don't save it, then the soldiers and horses waiting to reinforce Luoyang will be defeated, and the county seat of Luoyang will be lost, then the follow-up army of Chu will have a foothold, and Longxian will also be surrounded and isolated. Moreover, even Hu Zun and the two candidate generals, they had to be saved.
After a brief discussion between the two, Cheng Yin led 2,000 people to temporarily garrison Longxian, while Ma Zun led 4,000 people to rush west and gallop to the aid of Luoyang.
It's just that he is already destined to have no good results, and the six thousand elite soldiers led by Yang Ren have been waiting in the middle road for a long time, and the two sides met and fought fiercely in an instant.
The battle was in full swing, and Yan Liang and Liao Hua, who had already defeated Hu Zun and the candidates for a long time, rushed to the crowd again, and quickly outflanked them from both sides, attacking from three sides. It only took half an hour. And in the wilderness, he slew the horses and threw away their armor. The wolf bรจi fled south.
Since then, the reinforcements on both sides of Liangzhou have been broken by the Chu State, Yan Liang and others successfully completed the task of blocking the enemy's reinforcements, and bought more time for the Chu State to march in an all-round way.
Half an hour later, Liu Xian and Liu Yun led the second wave of main forces. A total of 20,000 people arrived, and then launched an offensive against Luoyang County, only three rounds of charge, wiped out more than 300 defenders of Luoyang, captured more than 100 people, and captured Luoyang County.
Several troops and horses were fully stationed, and this foothold, which was extremely important for the state of Chu, was completely controlled.
In the second half of the night, Liao Hua led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who did not participate in the battle, and once again carried the baggage out of the city. And set up camp on the road leading from Ji County to Longxian.
At this time, the situation changed so quickly that Ma Yi was dumbfounded. I haven't slowed down for a long time.
It wasn't until near midnight that he got a complete report on the front, followed by Hu Zun and Ma Zun and other soldiers who had fled from defeat.
The loss of the candidate made him very sad, and at the same time he was also very unwilling, and he wanted to personally order 30,000 troops to take back Luoyang. Fortunately, Zhao Ang, Pang Rou and others persuaded in time and persuaded them with great painstaking efforts, which allowed them to dispel this unrealistic idea.
Now the situation is very clear, Liangzhou is in a comprehensive weakness in this region, this does not refer to the troops, but refers to the various deployments are disrupted, everything is passive, the situation of all parties is unknown, in this situation, as long as you calm down a little, you can clearly think that no matter how many soldiers go out, then how many will definitely lie back!
For Ma Yi, the best choice is to wait, after really figuring out the new movement of the army, and then redeploy a new overall plan, whether it is a counteroffensive or a defense, it is always necessary for all departments to coordinate their actions, and to attack with their heads covered and their brains covered, that is, to go out 100,000 people, it is still a death, even if it is hard to cut, then it can't be burned, can't it be shot?
Military strength is one of the needs to win a war, but it is by no means the only reason.
After Ma Yi calmed down, he finally made the right choice, and sent a large number of scouts to investigate, waiting for new information......
The next morning, Wang Xu was quite depressed, because after he led the third batch of 10,000 people to arrive in Luoyang in the second half of last night, he decided that Ma Yi might not be able to bear it and send troops from Ji County again.
"Ma Yi still has real skills, don't take it lightly because of this small victory!"
When he returned to the city, he left this message for the generals, and went back to his camp to rest.
When he woke up again, it was already evening, and after eating some dry food to wrap his stomach, he began to study the next strategic deployment in the tent again.
"Lord, General Zhao sent someone to report!"
I don't know when, Han Long's deep voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
Wang Xu put away the map on the table and slowly raised his head.
I saw Han Long walk into the tent with a young man with handsome eyebrows and a majestic body, the young man saw Wang Xu, he was slightly nervous, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", and bowed: "The last general, Kou Feng, is ordered by General Zhao to come to report the victory!" โ
"Huh!" Wang Xule was happy, from his statement, he knew that he definitely had no experience in reporting victory, how could there be such a straightforward statement to report victory, and it would not be possible to directly talk about the results of the war.
"Then you will tell me the good news and come and see!" Wang Xu was in a good mood, but he didn't say a few more nonsense.
The young general's breath was a little short, and he took several breaths before he said in a reverent tone: "King Qichu, yesterday afternoon, General Chen Zhi led his troops to chase to Anding Bird County, Xun Chen, who had fled into the city earlier, immediately took over the city defense, and after clever arrangement, he ordered his own guards to open the city gate, and General Chen Zhi then rushed into the city and took all the Bird County seats. Soon, the enemy general Su Ze arrived, seeing that the bird clan was lost, he led his troops to fight to the death, General Chen Zhi led the elite attack, and cooperated with General Zhao Yun to destroy his troops, capturing countless people, and Su Ze was captured alive for the last general! โ
"Oh? Did you capture Su Ze alive? โ
Wang Xu was surprised, looked carefully at the young general in front of him, and only then did he notice the name he had just reported.
"You say your name is Kou Feng? Where's the people? What is your current job? Who is in the family? โ
"The last general is a native of Changsha, his father was originally a marquis of the Han Dynasty, died early due to illness, and then went to live in the house of his uncle Liu Mi, and is currently the general of the First Guards Regiment, and his uncle Liu Mi is the Yang Ling!"
