Chapter 57: Heaven and Earth
"General Yu...... Small...... It's all true......"
The scouts were frightened, and their expressions were nervous to ensure that the information they had detected was prepared, and their whole team of scouts saw that the city of Wubao County was full of battle flags of the official army, and they were killing this side, and the commander was Sun Chengzong, the turtle governor they laughed at, as for how Sun Chengzong attacked and occupied Wubao County, I don't know, there was no one who could inquire about the news nearby, obviously the officials and soldiers were worried about leaking the news, or killing all the people they encountered, or temporarily controlling it.
"General, what should I do?"
The panicked generals looked at Wang Jiayin nervously, it was okay to let them charge into battle, and it was a little difficult for them to use their brains, they would rather go into battle to fight.
"Don't worry...... Wait, let me think about it......" Wang Jiayin said in a deep voice, and pretended to stroke the beard under his chin, trying to calm himself down, specially, it was really difficult to have a military advisor around him who gave advice, and after getting out of trouble, he tried his best to get a few scholars to come over and be a military advisor.
With the current low morale, it is difficult to fight a tough battle with Sun Chengzong's main army, whether it is to retreat to Shenmu County or to Xi'an Mansion, there is no supply of grain and grass is also a dead end, what should he do?
Wang Jiayin has been a soldier in Jiubian, has fought in battles, and has seen a lot of the world, after calming down, his brain seems to be much more flexible than just now, he scratched his head desperately and thought for a while, and finally made him think of a solution to the current crisis.
Retreating to Shenmu County can not do Sun Chuanting's partial division, even if there are all kinds of heavy siege equipment, he does not have the confidence to break through the Xi'an Mansion with thick walls and sufficient troops in two or three days, not to mention that these military materials are all lost, these two roads are not passable, and only the main army that defeated Sun Chengzong can survive.
If Sun Chengzong didn't come out of Wubao County, it wouldn't take three days, and his ever-winning army would collapse on its own due to lack of food, but Sun Chengzong led the master to kill him, which just gave him the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and Fuhupo was his magic weapon to win the deadlock.
"The general is clever, high, really high."
The generals' eyes lit up, and they were surprised and slapped Wang Jiayin's ass, if the turtle governor dared to come, they would dare to kill.
Wang Jiayin immediately ordered the front army to act as bait, continued to advance, slowed down and delayed time, and led the middle and rear troops to rush back to Fuhupo to set up an ambush.
When the soldiers rushed to the small dirt slope on both sides of the official road, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared behind the soil slope, and the ping-pong platoon shot down the soldiers who were not prepared at all, and everyone was stunned.
Battle flags were raised on the slope, and Sun Chengzong, who was dressed in military uniform, held a long sword in his hand, pointed downward, and shouted loudly: "Open the cannon!" ”
More than a dozen Franc cannons erected behind the dirt slopes on both sides let out an earth-shattering roar at the same time, and one after another flowering shells exploded in the scattered group of soldiers, and the shrapnel shot everywhere was like the sickle of death, frantically harvesting the lives around it.
The team of the victorious army that hurried back was already a little scattered, and when attacked by this, the whole team was like an ant colony that had blown up its nest, and all of them scattered at once, and countless soldiers were like headless flies scurrying around, some retreated, some drilled into the dense forests on both sides of the official road, and some bravely rushed forward to kill, but all of them were shot by fierce volleys of guns, and the corpses were lying all over the ground, and the blood stained the soil red.
The entire rear army was in chaos, and the leaders of each team roared, desperately gathering the team, and at the same time sent someone to report to Wang Jiayin, who was still behind.
Hearing that the official army had set up an ambush on Fuhupo, Wang Jiayin and other generals of the Changsheng Army were all shocked and scattered, and their faces were colorless.
"Order the front army to fortify on the spot to resist the official army chasing from Wubao County, and the army will go all out to defeat the official army ambushing Hupo."
Wang Jiayin, who was forced into a desperate situation, appeared unusually calm, and quickly issued the order that he thought was the most correct, the forward army that had lured the enemy was fortified on the spot, and if it was dead, it would also block the officers and troops chasing from Wubao County, so as to buy time for the main force, and he personally led the main force to defeat the officers and troops who ambushed Hupo first, and captured the turtle governor Sun Chengzong alive.
When people are in a desperate situation, they can indeed stimulate all their potential, and at this point, the generals can only fight hard to the death, and then they can only fight hard, and then say, it really can't be done, either surrender, or drill into the dense forests on both sides of the official road, and the surrender of their leaders is estimated to be a dead end, fleeing into the boundless forest, may starve to death, or become a delicious delicacy for fierce beasts, but it is not lifeless, and the bet is on luck.
Thinking about retreating before fighting, this is human nature, there are few people who are really not afraid of death, and there are few people who are born after death, not to mention that these generals are now full of money, and there are groups of beautiful wives and concubines, what kind of enjoyment do you talk about when your life is gone? Therefore, they cherish their lives more than ordinary people.
Wang Jiayin is not an immortal of an unknown prophet, so he naturally doesn't know what thoughts are turning in the hearts of these subordinates who rely on him, so he personally led the Chinese army to speed up the march and pounced on Fuhupo.
When the main force arrived near Fuhupo, the leaders of the rear army also reluctantly gathered the scattered departments, and the army's morale was calmed down.
At this time, under the command of Sun Chengzong, the governor of Shaanxi, the officers and soldiers of the brigade poured down the dirt slopes on both sides, lined up on the official road, and discharged three dense defensive phalanxes, the front row was the shield soldiers who erected large shields, the back row was the spearmen, and then the musketeers and archers were the same on the soil slopes on both sides were the shield soldiers, spearmen and musketeers, and the archers were configured.
In the era of cold weapons, the dense defensive phalanx in the field is the most commonly used, the best defensive effect, and it is also a difficult defensive formation, even the fierce Jin Army Iron Cavalry has a headache, of course, but also to take into account many factors such as the command ability of the generals, however, for Wang Jiayin's winning army, these factors do not need to be taken into account, the officers and troops occupy an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, and wait for work at ease, morale is booming, as long as Sun Chengzong, as the commander-in-chief, does not make a faint move, and thinks about it with his toes to know that this battle is won.
Sun Chengzong put on such a solid tortoise shell formation, and it was clear that he wanted to block the victorious army here, attack back and forth, make a contribution, and destroy Wang Jiayin's victorious army.
The whole Shaanxi Province is full of troublesome people's army, large and small, there are more than a dozen shares, the strongest, the biggest is Wang Jiayin's winning army, followed by Gao Yingxiang's Gao Jiajun and several other medium-sized people's army, Sun Chengzong's new official took office, of course, he had to put three fires, the first fire was to destroy Wang Jiayin's winning army first.
Sun Chuanting's lone army went deep into the territory of the people's army to act as a bait to attract Wang Jiayin's main force, and the main force under his own command marched at a rapid pace to confuse Wang Jiayin, and then used the cover of night to attack the county seat of Longwubao, successfully cutting off the retreat of the Changsheng army.
