Chapter 652: The Battle of Longminao

The spring of 192 gave the impression of death and destruction instead of life and hope, and was full of the meaning of slaughter.

Qianghu invaded the south in a big way, and Dong Zhuo's troops were busy fighting fires everywhere.

The Qianghu cavalry came and went like the wind, but fortunately, the cavalry under Dong Zhuo was also quite strong, whether it was the Xiliang iron cavalry he personally brought out, or the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that followed Lu Bu and other generals upside down, they were all elite cavalry that had been fighting against foreign races for many years. The quality of the troops is not weaker than that of the Qiang cavalry, and the ability of the generals is even better, and the battle with the Qianghu cavalry obviously has the upper hand, and there is news that the Qianghu cavalry has suffered setbacks one after another.

But the Qianghu tribe generally has the problem of food shortage, and in order for the survival and development of the tribe, they have to grab some food no matter what, so they know that Dong Zhuo's troops are like wolves and tigers, and they must hold on hard. Almost all the Qianghu tribes have participated in the operation, which can be regarded as pouring out, currently dominating the strength of the army, with the ability to shake the Sili defenders, the Qianghu and Dong Zhuo's troops are fighting in many places, and there are winners and losers for each other, no one can quickly establish a victory, and the chaotic situation seems to continue.

At the same time, the war in Hebei broke out again.

The Battle of Jieqiao ended with Yuan Shao's victory, forcing Gongsun Chan to retreat to Youzhou, but the battle losses of both sides in the Battle of Jieqiao were not too large, and Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao each dispatched troops to accumulate strength and prepare for another duel.

Yuan Shao, who won the battle of Jieqiao, occupied the initiative of the scene, and took advantage of the opportunity of Gongsun Zan being forced to retreat, and sent his troops Cui Juye to lead his troops into Youzhou to besiege the Gu'an County occupied by Gongsun Zan County, but he could not attack it for a long time, and when he retreated, he was pursued by 30,000 people sent by Gongsun Zan to break Yuan Shao's army in Juma Shui, killing seven or eight thousand people.

This is the Battle of the Giant Horse Water.

The victory in the Battle of Juma Water made Gongsun Zan once again see the hope of chasing the Central Plains, and took advantage of the defeat and chaos of the Jizhou army to pursue the victory and wave his army south. Gongsun Zhan's troops regained the Bohai Sea with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, attacked the plains, and fought until the Yellow River, Yuan Shaocai reassembled the army, and launched a general battle with Gongsun Chan again in Longcuo City, which was close to the crossing of the ancient Yellow River.

The third battle of Hebei hegemony, the battle of Longcuo begins!

Since the war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the armies of the two sides have come and gone, sometimes the southern army overwhelms the northern army, and sometimes the northern army overwhelms the southern army, but on the whole, they are advancing according to the main script of history.

The Battle of the Boundary Bridge was the same.

The Battle of the Giant Horse Water is like this.

Including the third big duel in Longminao, it is also clearly recorded in historical materials.

According to the main plot of history, Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao in Longcuo, and had to retreat to Youzhou again, and since then he has been suppressed in Youzhou, completely losing his sharpness, and running out of military rations in the long-term war with Yuan Shao.

(There is very little information about the Battle of Juma Water and the Battle of Longminao, and there are different views on which comes first, and this book takes the position that Juma Water broke out in front and Longminao broke out in the back)

However, there were some deviations from the main line of history.

The Jizhou Army and the Beiping Army faced off in Longcuo, and after a fierce battle for more than a month, both armies suffered heavy losses, but the Beiping Army was not defeated as in the main plot of history, but fought with the Jizhou Army on a par with each other, and no one could help anyone. When the fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, Yuan Shao's backyard caught fire, and there were rebels in Wei County who colluded with the Montenegrin Army to rebel against Yu Poison, captured Yecheng, and the old nest of state governance was captured.

The Jizhou army retreated in a hurry, but the Beiping army did not hold on.

It's not that Gongsun Chan missed the opportunity, but the conditions don't allow it.

After the Battle of Juma Water, Gongsun Zhan attacked the victorious army to the south, entered the Bohai Sea of Jizhou from Youzhou, and continued to move south after recovering the Bohai Sea. Long is in the plain, the plain belongs to the territory of Qingzhou, the Beiping army from Youzhou to Jizhou, and then to Qingzhou, the soldiers have shown fatigue, because the front line and Youzhou base camp are too far away, the supply of grain and grass is gradually tight, the Beiping army urgently needs to rest and transport grain and grass. On the other hand, although Yuan Shao retreated, he left an elite army to confront the Beiping army.

The outcome of the Battle of Longcuo is obviously not entirely consistent with the main plot of history.

The two armies fought and fought at Longcuo, and the results had far-reaching consequences.

The area of control of the two princes was different from that of history.

After the Battle of Longcuo, Gongsun Zhan's forces were supposed to completely return to Youzhou, Yuan Shao regained the lost territory, and Bohai County, which had just been occupied by Gongsun Zhan, changed hands again and returned to Yuan Shao. However, in the game, because Yuan Shao retreated and attacked Yecheng, he failed to repel the Beiping army in the plain, let alone recover the Bohai Sea. In fact, Gongsun Zhan's harvest was far more than just Bohai County, but also included most of the territory of Qingzhou Plain County, occupying all the eastern part of the plain, and his sphere of influence reached the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Not only did Gongsun Chan gain more land and population, but much more.

The Beiping Army regained the strategic initiative.

Youzhou-Bohai County-Pingyuan County, connected from north to south, is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, plus Yuan Shao's lair was captured by the Montenegrin army, and the strategic initiative is on Gongsun Zhan's side. According to the current situation, the Beiping Army formed a flanking attack on the Jizhou Army in the north and east, which is significantly different from the situation in history when it was forced to retreat to Youzhou and form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.

On the other hand, the Beiping army occupied the eastern part of the plain, which was conducive to fighting for Qingzhou with Yuan Shao.

Historically, Qingzhou Mutian Kai, appointed by Gongsun Zhan, used the plains as a base to fight against Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan.

At that time, Liu Xuande was under the control of Tian Kai, and Zhao Zilong served as a cavalry general, and he was finally defeated after two years of hard fighting. You must know that Qingzhou is not the main battlefield, and there is no information to show that Yuan Shao has configured a strongman for Yuan Tan, for example, the fierce general of the level of Hebei Sitingzhu, with Guan Zhang Zhao's bravery, even if Yan Liangwen and Zhang Gaolan are in Qingzhou, they should also have the strength to fight, but the actual situation is that Tian Kai was defeated and fled back to Youzhou.

The reason for this is likely that after the Battle of Longcuo, Gongsun Zhan was defeated and retreated to Youzhou, and Bohai County was recovered by Yuan Shao, cutting off the land connection between Youzhou and Qingzhou. Now that Bohai is back in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, Qingzhou Tiankaibu can continue to get the support of Youzhou, the living environment is very different from the embarrassment in history, and how the future war situation will develop, I am afraid that no one can say clearly.

Why is there an outcome that goes against the main plot?

Although the player was excluded from the Hebei Battle, this did not prevent the player from paying attention to this big showdown and exploring the reason for this situation.

Some players believe that it was caused by the capture of Yecheng by the Montenegrin army.

Yecheng is not lost, Yuan Shao may not retreat, after all, the two armies of the Longcuo War basically maintained a balance of power at that time. Some players questioned that Yecheng was breached, and suspected that the deep contradiction with Yuan Shao and the Montenegrin Army led to the fall of Yecheng in the game, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence that unexpected events affected the main plot.

But then some players specified that the capture of Yecheng did happen.

"Wei Zhi" records that Yuan Shao feasted guests in Boluojin on March 3 of a certain year, and during the banquet, there was a sudden report that there were rebels in Wei County who colluded with the Montenegrin army to rebel and capture Yecheng. In "Heroes", it is recorded that this incident happened after Yuan Shaopo Gongsun Zhan.

According to some sources, the Montenegrin Army's Yu Poison was exterminated by Yuan Shao in Lugushan in June 193, so Yuan Shao's banquet at Boluojin in March should have occurred before 193, after a certain victory over Gongsun Zhan's war, to be exact, in 192 or 193. Combined with the description of "Heroes", the second battle of the three major battles in history was won by Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao won the first battle of the boundary bridge and the third battle of Longminao, but the battle of Longcao in the game was not divided at that time, and only the battle of the boundary bridge met the conditions.

The incident of Yecheng being breached by the Montenegrin army could only occur in the spring of 192.

At this time, not long after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, the people's hearts were unstable, and it was not surprising that Han Fu's old ministry launched a rebellion.

Therefore, at this time, it is reasonable for the Wei rebels to collude with the Montenegrin army to rebel against Yecheng and break through Yecheng. Judging from the relevant historical data, Yecheng was obviously quickly recovered by Yuan Shao, considering that Yuan Shao had a fierce confrontation with Gongsun Chan at that time, Gongsun Chan could not give up the opportunity for Yuan Shao's backyard to catch fire, and it is likely that the battle of Longcuo had been divided when the Black Mountain Army succeeded, and Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Chan and returned to Yecheng.

In this way, the fall of Yecheng is in line with the historical plot trend, and it is not the main reason for the battle of Longcuo!

Some players pointed out that the result of the Battle of Longcuo was changed because the Jizhou Army failed to defeat the Beiping Army quickly.

When you think about it, it does make some sense.

Pushing all the way from Youzhou to the territory of the Qingzhou Plain, the Beiping army was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and it was difficult to avoid being broken by Yuan Shao, from Yuan Shao's main force back to Yecheng and Gongsun Zan did not pursue, it is not difficult to see how tired the Beiping army was. The Jizhou army had the opportunity to quickly defeat the Beiping army in Longcuo, but unfortunately missed the opportunity to win, and the battle lasted for more than a month before the winner was decided.

It was not that the Jizhou Army delayed the fighters, but that the Beiping Army was too tenacious.

As more details were revealed, it was discovered that there was a unit that played a decisive role in the outcome of the battle.

This force is the White Horse Righteous Servant!

There seems to be an invisible hand in the dark, and it has opened a player with everyone.

Hakuba Yoshino should never have appeared in the Battle of Longmina!

According to the historical trajectory, Bai Ma Yicong should have been destroyed in the Battle of Jieqiao, and achieved the prestige of the first death soldier led by Ju Yi, but due to the advance of the script of the summer of pirates in the game, the Evil Horse Tai Japanese forces began to covet Shenzhou early, and Bai Ma Yi rushed back to Beiping to suppress the Japanese people from before the war. In the Battle of Jieqiao, it was only ordinary Beiping cavalry who were shot by the first dead soldiers, and the world-famous White Horse Yicong avoided the doom of destruction.

This accident directly affected the outcome of the battle of Longminao.

On the battlefield of Longminao, Bai Ma Yi fought again and again, unstoppable, bringing great damage and deterrence to the Jizhou army, so that the tired Beiping army could fight against the Jizhou army. It was precisely because of the existence of this legendary army that the last hope for the Beiping Army was retained, and it was dragged until the Yecheng mutiny!

It is said that Hakuma Yicong also suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Longminao, but it is undeniable that Hakuma Yoshitsu won an extremely favorable general trend for Gongsun Zhan. Compared with the historical trend known to the majority of players, Gongsun Zhan's current situation really can't be better, and the sacrifice of Baima Yicong is very valuable.

What's more, this legendary unit is still able to contribute to the Beiping Army!

If the battle of Longcuo develops according to the main line of history, Gongsun Zan is defeated and retreats to Youzhou, and is blocked by the Jizhou army in the south, and can only compete with Yuan Shao with Youzhou's population and resources, and the congenital deficiency is obvious. Later, Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu turned their faces, it could not be ruled out that it was to integrate Youzhou resources to fight against Yuan Shao, although Liu Yu was killed, but they formed more enemies, and the Youzhou nomads have used the banner of revenge for Liu Yu to help Yuan Shao pull Gongsun Zhan's hind legs, and the famous nationalist and White Horse General came to an end in the next step of the siege.

The battle of Longcuo was peaceful, and Gongsun Zhan's forces spanned the three states of Youji, Qingdao and Qingdao, and he held the strategic initiative, so naturally there was no need to grab land and population with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and the two might not come to the step of direct confrontation. No one can say what kind of variables the struggle for hegemony in Hebei will bring.

On the way back to Yecheng, Yuan Shao's expression was gloomy.

At the end of the Battle of Jieqiao, he was satisfied and satisfied, and then swallowed the bitter fruit of the defeat of Juma Shui, and the battle of Longcuo failed to repel Gongsun Zhan, and even the old nest was taken to a sharp turn.

Yuan Shao was anxious, but there was no better way to collect relevant information through players every day. As long as a satisfactory reward can be given, more players are willing to accept employment, and it is not difficult to march with the army.

While camping, Don't drive Tian Feng with the latest information.

"My lord, the rebels and the Black Mountain Yu Poison Department are still entrenched in Yecheng, and there is no sign of leaving for the time being. The subordinates have sent an order through the Otherworldly Warriors to send people to Yecheng to spread rumors and create the false impression that the Jizhou army will encircle Yecheng from the east, north and south, and intimidate the rebels and the Montenegrin army. The subordinates thought that the enemy should take the initiative to abandon Yecheng and retreat into the mountains, and our army was expected to recover Yecheng without spending a single soldier. ”

"Yuan Hao's plan is very good, what is the movement of the Beiping Army?"

"There is no movement."

Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "The main force of the Beiping Army has been fighting for several months, the veterans of the division are tired, and the fighting spirit in the army is sluggish. Our army has plenty of time to return to the division to recover Yecheng, but ......"

"But what?"

"Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang secretly sent a message: Half a month ago, Zhu Cheqi suddenly gave up Zhongmu Zhuxian and led his troops into Hanoi. However, Zhu Cheqi did not attack Dong Zhuo's army to the west, nor did he explain to the Taishou Mansion, and continued to march northward, Wang Taishou thought that he was going to the party, and Zhu Cheqi was a famous general of the imperial court, so he did not stop it. The day before yesterday, I contacted Zhang Yang, the party guard, to know that Zhu Che Riding had not passed, and now Zhu Che Riding Department is nowhere to be found. ”

Yuan Shaoleng stopped: "Zhu left Zhongmu?" It's weird, but we can't do that much now. ”

Tian Feng frowned and said, "Wang Taishou informed us and waited, don't have a deep meaning." ”

"Yuan Hao might as well speak bluntly."

"Will Zhu Che ride to Yecheng?"

"What!"

Yuan Shaoru fell into an ice cave.
