Chapter 663: Take Hanoi County

Seeing that the enemy's 3,000 cavalry rushed into his preset ambush unprepared, Hua An's heart was extremely excited, and immediately ordered: "Soldiers, annihilate the enemy army, kill ......" After speaking, he personally rushed out.

"Kill ......" 10,000 soldiers of the pro-guard army heard the order, shouted and rushed out of the ambush position, and blocked the way for the enemy cavalry to flee.

The enemy soldiers who were fleeing in rout, seeing that more than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Jin army suddenly killed from the front and blocked their way, they were suddenly shocked, and the enemy cavalry in front unconsciously stopped their horses, and the enemy cavalry behind did not understand what was happening, and continued to gallop forward, and collided with the men and horses in front, and suddenly, the enemy's three thousand cavalry trampled on each other, completely losing the courage to meet the enemy.

"General, there is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back, what should I do?" The general said in a panic.

When the enemy commander heard this, his brows furrowed into a big pimple, in such a situation, even if he was the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou, it was impossible to evacuate calmly.

At this time, on both sides of the road, there were mountains with a slope of forty-five degrees, covered with sparse bushes, and the cavalry could not pass at all.

"General, abandon your horse and go up the mountain! Our army has no choice. "An enemy army general will build a yƬ road.

The enemy commander looked at the Jin cavalry that was approaching step by step, and his heart was crossed, and he ordered loudly: "Soldiers, abandon your horse and go up the mountain and evacuate on foot." With that, he jumped off his horse and hurried towards the hill on his left.

When the enemy soldiers heard the order, they all jumped off their horses and ran to the hill on the left.

At this time, though. Hua An and his guards had already killed the enemy, and the enemy soldiers jumped off their horses. It happened to be the target of the Guards soldiers, but those who ran fast. Still, they jumped into the mountain on the left and ran quickly to the top.

Seeing that the enemy abandoned the war horse and fled towards the mountain, Hua An was slightly surprised, paused, and ordered: "Wang San, you immediately lead five thousand soldiers, dismount and pursue, remember." Pursue for a maximum of five miles, and must return immediately, and never go too deep into the mountains. ā€

"Don't worry! Big brother, leave it to me. Wang San answered, and personally led 5,000 guards to jump off their horses and chase after them to the top of the mountain.

Wang San led 5,000 guards into the mountains, and Zhuge Xiong and his 10,000 Wudang Fei troops arrived at the battlefield and rushed to Hua'an's side.

"General, the enemy is riding on good horses! Our army chased for a long time. I just didn't catch up. Zhuge Xiong looked at the three thousand war horses in front of him and sighed loudly.

Hua An smiled and said loudly: "It's true that they are all good horses, now." These war horses are all trophies of our army, which one you like, pick whatever you like. After speaking, he looked at Zhuge Xiong.

"That's it. I want it. Zhuge Xiong pointed to a sturdy war horse and said loudly.

Huaan nodded. "Okay, this horse is yours now." Take it! After speaking, he looked at the top of the mountain on the left.

Zhuge Xiong's eyes followed Hua An to the top of the mountain, paused, and said: "General, the enemy soldiers abandoned their horses and fled to the top of the mountain, killing themselves, and there is no need for our army to continue the pursuit." ā€

"Oh, why?" Hua An asked softly.

Zhuge Xiong Zhengse said: "General, the mountains here are extremely barren, there is not enough food, thousands of enemy soldiers abandon their horses into the mountains, they will definitely die because of lack of food, and our army only needs to station thousands of soldiers and horses here, you can trap the enemy to death, so that the enemy can not escape, so that the best policy." ā€

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, and said with appreciation: "Very good, worthy of Zhuge Xiong, very much the style of Zhuge Wuhou back then, the order, Mingjin withdrew the troops." ā€

......Hearing the order, the soldiers struck the gong vigorously to convey the order to withdraw the troops.

Wang San, who was chasing the enemy's rout in the mountains, and his 5,000 soldiers under his command, heard the sound of Mingjin retreating, and they were suddenly a little puzzled.

"General, the enemy army is right in front of you, should you just let them go, it's better to rush and kill for a while, and then retreat." A ministry will build a yƬ road.

When Wang San heard this, he hesitated, he knew that Hua An ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and there must be a reason for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, so he ordered: "Since Mingjin has withdrawn troops, we will retreat immediately, retreat." With that, he turned and walked down the mountain.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats." The generals of the Pro-Guard Army conveyed the orders in turn.

Under the orders of the generals, the 5,000 soldiers of the Guards who were in charge of pursuing and crushing the fleeing enemy army withdrew from the top of the mountain one after another and returned to the middle of the road.

"Big brother, our army is struggling to kill the enemy, why did you suddenly order a retreat." After Wang San returned, he immediately asked Hua An.

"Don't stop the division, don't chase after the poor, our army will return to Yewang City immediately, let's go!" Hua An didn't explain too much, but just ordered to return to Wild King City.

"Yes, big brother." Wang San answered, and led his 10,000 personal guards to march in the direction of Yewang City.

Hua An looked at the terrain at the intersection, and said: "General Zhuge , this is a treacherous place, and it is not suitable for the army to be stationed, so your troops and horses will also go to the outskirts of Yewang City to station, and send more than 1,000 cavalry to patrol in turn every day." ā€

"Yes, General." Zhuge Xiong responded, and immediately led an army of 10,000 people to run in the direction of Yewang City.

After Hua An and his main army of 20,000 arrived at Yewang City, the personal guards entered the city and stationed there, while Zhuge Xiong's Wudang Fei army was stationed outside the West Gate in order to attack at any time.

A day later, the 30,000 elite cavalry under the command of Deng Qiang arrived at the outskirts of Yewang City and set up camp, and the 20,000 reserve regiments that went north from the Mengjin ferry arrived in Wen County, and the 30,000 reserve troops who went north from the Aocang ferry port had entered the prefecture and county not far from the east side of Yewang City, and the 100,000 troops under the command of Hua An had all been gathered in Hanoi County and could continue to attack north at any time.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Yewang City, Hua An and Deng Qiang, Wang San, Zhuge Xiong and other generals are discussing the next action plan.

Since the capture of Hanoi County was easy, the various armies did not suffer much losses, especially the 50,000 main army corps, which had been replenished and fully regained its combat effectiveness.

"General, our army has 100,000 troops in Hanoi County, echoing the 100,000 soldiers and horses of General Xie Ai in the direction of Bingzhou, even if the entire Hebei is recovered, it is better to attack the north immediately, first take the Wei State, and then attack the two countries of the Yan Dynasty, and finally recover Youzhou and Pingzhou." Deng Qiang said loudly.

Obviously, after successive victories, Deng Qiang's mind is already a little unclear, he thinks of the main army of Wei, Yan, and Dai as a rabble like Cao Fu and Zhang Jin, and uses this as an inference, which is obviously unscientific, Wei's beggar army, Yan's elite grassland iron cavalry, and Daiguo's desert iron cavalry are all world-famous powerhouses, and they can't easily win with just 200,000 soldiers and horses.

"General Deng, you are too light on the enemy, the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Wei all have elite divisions that are proud of the world, not comparable to Zhang Jin and Cao Fu." Hua An reminded softly.

"General, how powerful the elite divisions of the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Wei are, you can only know if you personally compete." Deng Qiang seemed a little unconvinced.

Hua An waved his hand, and said: "Now, the two countries of the Yan Dynasty have formed an alliance and are ready to attack the Wei State with all their might, at this time, if our army sneaks up on the Wei State from behind, wouldn't it be a great favor to the two countries of the Yan Dynasty, besides, according to the scouts, the total strength of the two countries of the Yan Dynasty is not less than 500,000, this time the troops are sent to destroy Wei, the two countries are estimated to have about 300,000 soldiers and horses, the strength is indeed not to be underestimated, the current task of our army is to hold on to Yewang City, and transport a large amount of military food in the direction of Luoyang City to Yewang City, from now on, Yewang City is at the forefront of our army's Northern Expedition. ā€

When the generals heard this, they all nodded approvingly.

"Big brother, the Yan Dynasty coalition army is strong, should our army increase its troops in Hanoi, otherwise, once the Wei State is defeated, the existing strength of our army will be under great pressure!" Wang San said softly.

When Zhuge Xiong heard this, he immediately replied: "There should be no need to worry about this, the main forces of General Huan and General Yin have been stationed in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, in case our army is defeated, the Jingzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army will join forces in the Northern Expedition, and they will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to the Yan Dynasty coalition army from the side." ā€

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Our army's battle plan must not be made with the cooperation of the Jingzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army, in case the two of them refuse to send troops to help, our army will not be wiped out." ā€

"General, right now, Luoyang and Xingyang have just been attached for a few months, and the shape is not too stable, leaving 50,000 reserve regiments, the pressure is already very great, if you transfer troops and horses, I am afraid that the direction of Luoyang and Xingyang will be even more difficult to maintain." Zhuge Xiong said helplessly.

Hua An thought for a moment and said softly: "Aren't there still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the direction of Tongguan?" If it is transferred to Hanoi County, it may greatly reduce the pressure on Hanoi County. ā€

"Tongguan is also a critical place, and a general must be stationed there." Wang San said.

Hua'an thought for a moment, and said: "It's better to let General Li Liang, who is responsible for escorting grain and grass, lead the army under his command to garrison Tongguan, and let the two generals Chen Poyu and Chen Xuhu in Tongguan lead the main force and 20,000 reserve troops under their command to reinforce Hanoi County, so that our army will have as many as 140,000 soldiers and horses, and the main army of 70,000 plus the reserve army of 70,000 is enough to resist any strong enemy." ā€

"Big brother, I think it's okay, it's better to do it like this." Wang San first expressed his support.

"General, give the order! We fully support it. Deng Qiang also said loudly.

Seeing that all the generals under his command thought it was feasible, Hua An ordered Chen Poyu and Chen Huhu, who were stationed in Tongguan, to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Hanoi County, and immediately asked his henchman to bring his own handwritten letter and go forward to deliver the order as quickly as possible.
