Ma Wan, Yang Qiu led Yan Jun, He Luan, Ju Yan, and Jiang Shi to the four deputy generals, a total of more than 10,000 people rescued from the clan, how could Zhang Liao not be prepared.

Han Meng and Wang Xiong had already led their troops to intercept halfway, because the Liangzhou army led most of the cavalry, Han Meng and Wang Xiong set up many traps in a valley halfway, before the Liangzhou generals arrived, Han Meng led a small number of troops and horses to meet the battle, quickly lost the enemy and retreated, and at the same time gradually led the Liangzhou army into a trap-filled area.

The Liangzhou army was in full swing, and they were eager to rescue Xixian, thinking that they would not be ambushed if they chased Han Meng, so they chased after them.

But how could he have thought that this time the Chu State did not want to set up an ambush to win!

Because Han Meng had few people and was carrying a black iron gunman from his headquarters, he moved quickly, like an arm. They divided into dozens of troops and withdrew from the interval of those traps, and the Liangzhou army thought that it had become more and more chaotic, and pursued it fiercely.

In an instant, the front of it suffered terrible consequences, a large number of deep pits, a large number of spikes, and trapped horse nails buried in the surface of the earth, causing the front part to fall in rows. What's even more terrifying is that the Liangzhou cavalry is in a fast march, and when the horses run, they don't just stop when they run, and the scene is almost that the other party jumps directly into the pit and commits suicide in rows.

It didn't take long for the Liangzhou army to stabilize its position from this chaos, and the infantry phalanxes of the Chu State quickly attacked from the cracks in the hills everywhere.

The intensive rocket fire made the frightened horses even more frenzied, and they were scattered around the military formation, making it difficult to control at all.

Subsequently, the infantry of the Chu State fought bravely from all directions, and with their flexible bodies, they began to strangle.

There is a famous saying: when the cavalry is chaotic. And when it loses its mobility. Then it will be a nightmare!

This is true. The horses of the Liangzhou cavalry were surprised, there were traps everywhere, the queue was completely chaotic, they didn't know what to do at all, of course, no one knew what to do, it was already at this time, even if it was replaced by any famous general, it was no problem!

In this situation. They are lambs to the slaughter!

The combat effectiveness of the infantry soldiers of the Chu State has always been strong enough, and those soldiers on the back of horses, because they have lost their movement space and are crowded with each other, they can't fight flexibly at all, how can they resist? I saw that the infantry of the Chu State was in a group of ten people, cooperating with each other, and they were like cutting machines in the enemy formation, and many Liangzhou cavalry were killed without even seeing where the knife came from.

"Dismount! Dismount! ”

"All ministries and colonels organized on the spot to meet the enemy! Organize on the spot to meet the enemy! ”

Such shouts were constantly issued in the Liangzhou army. But in fact it is easier said than done, chaotic formation. The trampling on each other and the failure of command made the soldiers at a loss, and at this time, the fighting style of the infantry of the Chu State was also quite strange, ten people were in a group, divided from each other but echoed each other, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, it looked nothing, but the lethality was great.

This method of warfare was proposed by Wang Xiong, who had fought in Jiaozhou for many years, often facing those Baiyue tribesmen and hunters, from them, he summed up a lot of practical and effective infantry tactics, perhaps not orthodox or large-scale use, but in this special situation, it has unimaginable power.

The battle did not last long, Han Meng and Wang Xiong joined forces to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, and the Liangzhou army was defeated miserably, and there was almost nowhere to escape.

Several Liangzhou generals led by him were not spared, and the pioneer Ju Yan rushed into the trap by himself, and he could barely escape by relying on his martial arts, but he was instantly pressed down by the cavalry in the back row.

Yan Jun shouted and organized a battle, found out for Wang Xiong, and killed him on the spot.

Jiang Shi and He Luan fought on foot and died under the siege of the soldiers of the Chu State.

One of the eight strong generals in Liangzhou, the horse wanted to break through, but was intercepted by Han Meng's troops, fought fiercely for more than 30 times, and stabbed Han Meng to death in a panic.

Only Yang Qiu led a small number of people to escape in a panic, and this was because Yang Qiu was in charge of the rear of the town at that time and had a long reaction time.

Although this battle was only a partial blocking battle, because of its brilliant victory, coupled with one of the typical examples of infantry against cavalry and complete victory, it also left a mark in history and was recorded in the biographies of Han Meng and Wang Xiong.

The history is called - the clan is blocked!

Subsequently, Han Meng and Wang Xiong rushed to the county seat of Shidao, and at this time, there was only one general left behind in Shidao!

Historically, this person was born in the wealthy family of Jiuquan County, when the Taishou Xu Yi killed the powerful Huang clan in the county, only Huang Ang was outside and was spared, and in revenge, he used his surplus wealth to raise more than 1,000 people, personally waved his army to break through the county town, and successfully killed Xu Yi. But this Xu Yi is very famous among the people, and Yang Feng, a native of the same county, felt that Huang Ang was unjust, so he asked for help from the then Wuwei Taishou, and then went to the south of the Qiang tribe single-handedly, saying that more than 1,000 people followed, and reflexively returned to Jiuquan to kill Huang Ang.

At this time, Huang Ang only took more than 3,000 people to stay in Shidao County, and after seeing Yang Qiu's injury after returning from the fiasco, how could he dare to attack, Han Meng and Wang Xiong took the opportunity to set up camp at the important three-fork crossing, and quickly set up a simple defense to work together.

The reason why they spend so much trouble is, of course, because the location of the clan road is very important, its north and south sides are mountains, west to Longxi Lintao, northwest to Longxi Xiangwu, east to Hanyang West County, is the intersection of several major roads, and the terrain is the highest, as long as it is contained here, then it can ensure that Zhang Liao's main force can besiege Xixian wholeheartedly.

At noon the next day, Pang De led a large army from Lintao to Shidao, but saw that the Chu army had set up camps, established its foothold, occupied two high grounds, and curbed the only way to aid Xixian, and instantly became furious, and asked Huang Ang why he allowed the Chu army to control the main road, even if he was defeated, he should send troops to attack and harass, so that he could not calmly set up camp, and wait for him to lead the army to come.

Huang Ang was speechless, and was almost dragged out and beheaded by an angry Pound.

The safety of Xixian is related to the entire southern battlefield, Pang De has no choice but to try to fight through, he has a strong army, it is okay to force it through, but in this way, his rear is equivalent to having two nails, when he hits Xixian, if he is blocked by Zhang Liao, Han Meng and Wang Xiong can fight back from the rear at any time, making him difficult to care about, this is a taboo for soldiers, he does not dare to take this risk. And the transportation lines of grain and grass are in danger at any time.

After a half-day break. Pang De finally began to launch a ferocious attack on the Chu army. Day and night......

It's just that it's already late, Pang De came from Lintao, although he brought a large army, but it takes time to attack the fortification, Han Meng and Wang Xiong took advantage of the favorable terrain and rich defensive experience, and they dragged him here for three and a half days, and it has been five days and five nights since Zhang Liao launched an attack on Xixian.

On the morning of the first day of the fifth month, Zhang Hu, the son of Zhang Liao, and Dian Man, the son of Dian Wei, were two. Take the lead in breaking through the West County Tower.

The guard of Xixian County, Yang Fengli, was killed in battle, Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu were killed by Zhang Liao, and the main general Liang Xing broke through the siege and went north, but met the crossbowmen arranged by Zhang Liao earlier outside the city and died under the random arrows.

Half a day later, Zhang Liao led 40,000 people to the west, killing Xiang Dao in five batches.

Pang De was unwilling to lose, and when the two armies faced each other, he provoked Zhang Liao to fight against him with his words, trying to kill him and make a last stand.

Zhang Liao further invigorated the military prestige. Yi Ran was not afraid, and generously responded to the battle with a gun in his hand.

The two fought fiercely for more than 70 years. No matter who wins or loses!

Pang De saw that Zhang Liao's courage was extraordinary, and it was difficult to win, and the Liangzhou army was now completely weak, so he didn't dare to delay too much, so he led his troops to retreat.

At this point, the loss of Xixian County has become a foregone conclusion, and the situation on the entire southern front battlefield has changed greatly!

Ji County, the capital of Hanyang County, is also the command center where Ma Yi is located, and completely fell into the dilemma of being attacked on both sides, the south is the army of the south road of Chu led by Zhang Liao, and the northeast is the army of the middle road led by Wang Xu himself, there is no barrier, no response, no depth, and the situation can be described as grim.

A day later, Wang Xu of Longxian County received the battle report, did not hesitate at all, only glanced at it, and urgently ordered Wei Yan to lead 20,000 troops into Xianqin in the north of Ji County, Gan Ning to lead 20,000 troops into Wangyuan in the east of Ji County, and he himself personally led the Chinese army to go straight to Ji County.

Needless to say, this is obviously to wrap Ma Yi into dumplings.

Ji County is Ma Yi's command center here, earlier here, he can support Jieting, Longguan in the east, and Pang De's southern defense line in the south, which can be described as a good location, but now with the loss of the two lines of border passes, Ji County has become a lonely city, and it is in danger of destruction at any time.

In fact, Ma Yi should be glad that he did not initially put the bet on the border defense line, but transferred the main force directly under him to Ji County, and responded to the two defense lines at any time, deploying strategic depth and defensive gradient in advance, otherwise his main force would probably have to be fully accounted for in the two battles.

Wang Xu's movements of soldiers and horses also reached Ma Yi in a very short time, and he immediately urgently convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, hoping to have a good solution.

This military discussion didn't last long, and there was no need for Ma Yi to be too troubled, but maybe his heart would be very bitter.

Because for the current Liangzhou, where is there still a choice, Ji County is lost, where can Ma Yi retreat in Hanyang County?

There is no point in retreating to the counties north of Hanyang, because there is no danger to defend, and at the same time there is no support, and the two armies of Chu will definitely chase after him, biting him tightly, and he must now regroup his troops and horses, it will take time and unified scheduling, and the troops are all scattered, and if they are not redeployed, they cannot fight.

If it is retreated to Longxi, it is feasible, but after the Chu State occupies the entire Hanyang County, Ma Yi's side and Ma Teng's side will be completely separated, and at the same time, the road to Wuwei in the north will be given out, which is absolutely impossible, the Liangzhou Prefecture can be in Wuwei Guzang, as long as Ma Yi is not stupid, he will definitely not do that.

Therefore, Ma Yi's main army must contain the northward road of Chu, then its only choice is to withdraw from Anding and retreat to Zuli County in the south of Wuwei and Yongshi County in the northernmost part of Hanyang, as long as these two places are not lost, then Chu will not have a way to go north, and it is impossible for Chu to continue to follow up so far, because this is the territory of Liangzhou, and the logistics supply of the Chu army cannot be as fast as the army advances.

It's just that if Ma Yiruo leads the main force to retreat to the north, then the soldiers and horses in Longxi can only retreat, otherwise the Chu State only needs to divide the troops and march westward, cut off the back road of the soldiers and horses in Longxi, and slowly surround it, how can the Liangzhou army in Longxi still insist, there is no rescue, no supply, no response, it can be described as fish and meat on the chopping board - let others slaughter!

Unless Liangzhou's troops are stronger than Chu's, and Longxi alone can block Chu's army, then there is no need to retreat.

But that's just an assumption, Liangzhou, which is already inferior in strength, doesn't have so many people, after Ma Yi led his troops to withdraw, how could the lonely army of tens of thousands of people in Longxi face the encirclement and suppression of the two roads totaling more than 200,000 troops that the Chu State successfully converged?

Not to mention 200,000, as long as Zhang Liao led 100,000 people, occupy the surrounding arteries of the Longxi Army in four ways, cut off its supplies, cut off its rear roads, control its range of activities, and gradually advance, it will not take long to fight its obedience, and the Longxi Army led by Pang De can open the gap and break through the encirclement and flee north, even if it is an amazing move!

But instead of that, why not leave early, retain the viability, and redeploy?

Ma Yi understands this, and Wang Xu also understands this!

Wang Xu's expedition this time was not preparing to fight at all, he knew that Ma Yi would definitely withdraw before he arrived, and he couldn't catch up anyway, so he just kept going.

But Ma Yi wants to give up the whole county of Hanyang and most of Longxi for this reason, how can he not be bitter? (To be continued......)
