Chapter 1280: Yuan Shao sent Wei Han to ask for help
Puyang was attacked by the iron army, Liang Xing did not dare to go out of the city for fear of losing it, this conservative decision soon made Liang Xing regret it, the iron army set up a camp under the city, at this time Liang Xing found that he led the cavalry to gnaw the camp garrisoned by heavy infantry will definitely not take advantage, and the use of cavalry to defend the city is obviously not the right way, the only way is to attack the iron army when the city, the cavalry to flank and harass.
However, the iron army is very good at dealing with cavalry, they use traps, stabbing horse nails, horse rejection stakes, build a security zone on the periphery, and then arrange a modified carriage around the periphery of the army, which is usually used to transport the armor of the heavy infantry, and in wartime, you can put the giant crossbow on the car, and the heavy infantry can effectively stop the attack of the Xiliang cavalry with a crossbow.
At this moment, Liang Xing was basically dumbfounded, and could only ask Han Sui for help!
Speaking of Zhang Jaw, Zhang Jaw led 60,000 foot riders from Anyang, and pounced on Dangyin City less than sixty miles away, Zhang Jaw first swept away the guard fortress around Dangyin City in one fell swoop, and then surrounded Dangyin City, although there were 20,000 defenders in Dangyin City, and there were many militiamen, Cheng Yi, who was guarding Dangyin, still had no bottom in his heart, even if Cheng Yi's intelligence was not very good, he could understand that the battle situation could not be limited to just the immediate situation, and in the entire battlefield situation, Han Sui's situation was very bad.
In this sad situation, Dangyin may be in a state of isolation, but the opponent Yuan Shao still has the strength to mobilize more troops to attack the city, especially now that the attitude of the aliens is very distinct, almost all of them have run to Yuan Shao's camp, obviously, the aliens are not optimistic about Cheng Yi.
He opened his jaw and surrounded the yin, but he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he mobilized the Inhumans to set up a large number of trebuchets outside the city to bombard Cheng Yi in the city, and soon Cheng Yi's long-range weapons were consumed, and he could only be beaten in the city with his neck bent, but fortunately, after more than a year of operation, Dangyin City has been built very strongly, otherwise, Cheng Yi is worried that he will be the first to be defeated by long-range troops.
Going out of the city to attack and night attack, Cheng Yi has not tried it, but it is not easy to open his jaw. Cheng Yi went out of the city and kicked the iron plate twice, and after almost losing all the cavalry, he could only honestly admit it. He is definitely not Zhang Jaw's opponent, so Cheng Yi is at a loss, so he can only ask Han Sui for help!
Only Cheng Gongying's troops were left in Henan, as for Cheng Yin in Dunqiu. must not dare to give up Dunqiu to support Cheng Yi. Cheng Gongying didn't dare to let Cheng Yin leave the city, once Dunqiu was lost, the retreat of these troops in Hebei would be gone.
Cheng Gongying had no choice but to give up the attack on the eastern front and rush to Dangyin, but Cheng Gongying was intercepted by Yuan Shao's army about a hundred miles away from Dangyin City, and Cheng Gongying hesitated.
"General, the enemy is strong. Shall we withdraw? ”
"Withdraw? Where to retreat? ”
"Of course, avoid it first, and then take a detour from the south and go straight to the clouds."
"You think Yuan Shao is a dead man. He can lead the army here, if we run, he can't lead the army to continue to advance towards Dangyin, knowing that we are here to rescue Dangyin, will Yuan Shao still stupidly run after our horseshoe prints behind our buttocks? ”
"Uh, what then? Shall we not be saved when we see death? ”
"Then what do you think can be done?"
"This, is it okay to save Zhao from Wei Wei?"
"Don't say whether Yuan Shao will fall for this, even if he is fooled, do you think he will withdraw even Zhangjaw's troops?"
"This will not work on the left, nor will it work on the right"
"When the so-called manpower is finally exhausted, we are also powerless, and the best result now is that we avoid Yuan Shao, rush to Dangyin with all our might, and then cooperate with Cheng Yi to break the siege of the enemy army, take Cheng Yi out and retreat to Dunqiu together, and continue to fight with Yuan Shao in Dunqiu, delaying time for the lord. The worst result is that Dunqiu is lost, and we retreat to Henan, and the best result is that the lord will be defeated in Henan and then lead his army north to relieve the siege. ”
"This"
"Okay, order the cavalry to prepare for the attack, force the enemy to set up a defense, turn to the southwest when approaching the enemy, throw off the enemy with all your might, win a gap of about two hours, respond to Chengyi's retreat, and cross the Wei River south to return to Dunqiu."
"No1
Seeing Cheng Gongying put on an offensive posture, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the troops to put down a position to defend against the impact of the cavalry, in fact, Yuan Shao also brought 20,000 cavalry, however, Yuan Shao did not think that his newly built cavalry could be compared with the elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so he just placed the cavalry on both sides of the infantry formation on standby.
Cheng Gongying began to attack with a rainbow of momentum, and the rolling iron flow was terrifying, but Yuan Shao's troops were not bad, there were heavy shields and shield carts in front, heavy infantry in front, and heavy crossbowmen in the back, ready to give Xiliang Iron Cavalry a head-on attack!
It's a pity that Cheng Gongying, who was about to enter the firing range, suddenly deflected his horse's head, and went southwest from the edge of the range, Yuan Shao saw inexplicably on the command car, he also thought that Cheng Gongying wanted to bypass the front and attack himself from the flank, and nervously ordered the formation to reverse back and forth, Yuan Shao's infantry was also well-trained, and soon changed direction after the roaring footsteps, at this time Cheng Gongying's troops were crossing the flank of Yuan Shao's large array.
However, Cheng Gongying did not attack, but continued to rush back, the speed did not decrease at all, and the smoke and dust rolled away, and finally disappeared outside the battlefield, Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, and at this time he finally understood that Cheng Gongying had played his own, where did he want to fight, it was clear that he just wanted to escape!
"Assemble, change the formation of the marching army, and advance at full speed towards Dangyin, and the cavalry will go five miles forward to search1
"Originally, don't worry1
"Can you not be in a hurry? He is going to help in the war, if I don't go to the rescue, I will be lonely with my jaw open1
"Originally, I didn't say that I wouldn't go to rescue Zhang Jaw, I mean, what did Cheng Gongying do when he went to Dangyin?"
"Needless to say, naturally it is to assist Cheng Yi to defeat Zhang Jaw?"
"Can it really be beaten? Now that Zhangjaw is heavily fortified, and there are a large number of strangers to help, Cheng Yi's cavalry has also been completely annihilated, and the long-range troops have also been eliminated. Can the tide of battle be reversed? Is General Zhang Jaw really that unbearable? ”
"This"
"What is Ziyuan's opinion?" The judge asked with a frown.
"I wondered, will Cheng Gongying go to pick up Cheng Yi's retreat?"
The judge's eyes lit up: "Ziyuan's words are very reasonable, if Cheng Gongying is going to meet Cheng Yi's retreat." It's more reasonable, if you retreat, the other party will definitely cross the Wei River to the south, and then turn to the direction of Dunqiu, if our army can not be here, we can only go to the cavalry! Lord, please allow your subordinates to lead the cavalry to the left side of the Weihe River to ambush. The subordinates were determined to capture Cheng Gongying and Cheng Yi 1 in one fell swoop
Yuan Shao's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Okay, just according to what the two of you said." The infantry and I continued to advance towards Dangyin, and led 20,000 cavalry to the left of Weihe to wait for the south. ”
"No1
Cheng Gongying has not yet arrived, and Zhang Jaw has received the latest order from Yuan Shao, and Zhang Jaw has prepared some traps in the camp. Time is running out, though. Moreover, Zhang Jaw can't predict which direction the opponent will attack, so the preparation he can make is very limited.
At the moment of Shen, Cheng Gongying's troops arrived, and after resting for two moments, Cheng Gongying launched a fierce attack in the direction of the south gate, this time the attack was simple and direct, almost regardless of the cost, and Cheng Yi in the city also took the opportunity to open the city gate and rush outward. Under the combined attack of the inside and outside, although the open jaw is very tenacious. He even led the cavalry to cut off Cheng Gongying's formation for a time, but Cheng Gongying finally opened the road smoothly, and then Cheng Gongying converged and fought and left, retreating to the Wei River.
Zhang Jaw commanded the troops, methodically pursued in the rear, however, the Xiliang cavalry did not say anything else, escaping is indeed a must, frequent tail breaking tactics continue to delay the pursuit of the face, and these broken tails, after a little blocking and harassment, will do birds and beasts scatter, using strong personal survivability and equestrian skills, get rid of the pursuit and go straight to the predetermined assembly site.
Zhang Jaw chased and chased, seeing that Cheng Gongying arrived at the edge of the Wei River, he was about to cross the river, suddenly, a group of cavalry was killed from the east, Cheng Gongying sighed, and pulled Cheng Yi to cross the river directly regardless of it, and the other cavalry also seemed to have been prepared, in addition to the armor to throw away their weapons, and swim across the river with the assistance of the war horse.
When the trial was chased, Cheng Gongying and Cheng Yi had already fled without a trace on the south bank of the river, and the trial regretted it, and he should have crossed the Wei River first
Dangyin was lost, Puyang was in danger, the situation took a turn for the worse, Han Sui was anxious, and sent three consecutive letters to Cao Cao for help in one day, asking Cao Cao to rescue from Jiyin to Puyang, asking for frustration to increase the degree, and also asking Xiahoudun to increase the intensity of the attack on Yan Liang.
At the same time, Han Sui himself also increased the degree of confrontation, but when he arrived under the leadership of Xu Miao, Xu Miao was young and bold, and directly gave up the back road of Gucheng, and did his best to support the defenders of Gucheng and Pingyin, and fully supported Dong'e and Han Sui.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qian County, Cao Cao was staring at the map and pondering, and Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Yan Xiang, General Yang, Li Feng, Zhang Miao and others also had solemn faces.
"Sure enough, it still burned bigger and bigger.1
Cao Cao sighed meaninglessly, turned his head to look at Han Sui's several letters asking for help on the table, and casually pulled them aside.
"Lord, Han Sui's thoughts are now completely clear, his purpose is to pull us into the water, and then take the opportunity to seize Jizhou, but he thinks a little too highly of himself, do you really think Yuan Shao is so vulnerable?"
"Hehe, although this person was not very good at the beginning, it was still possible to deal with Han Sui, just right, this time he completely subdued Han Sui 1
"The lord has decided to go to war in an all-out way?" Cheng Yu asked with a gloomy face.
"We will still focus on Dongping County, Jibei and Taishan in the direction, as for Dongjun is occupied by the Detie Army, and the other directions are mainly defended."
"Lord, Liu Bei's side is fine, if it's Fang Zhi"
"No, let Chen Yuanlong pay attention to the southwest direction of Runan, Liu Bei's main attack should be Jiyin and Chen County, let Yuanlong attack Yan Liang with all his strength, and Xu Shu in the east don't have to pay attention."
"My lord? 1
Yan Xiang, Li Feng and the others were surprised, and Zhang Miao frowned and remained silent.
Cao Cao stroked his beard proudly and said: "Let Mao Xiao go to Lianyungang first, and say that our army needs to buy a large amount of materials, which can be exchanged for prisoners of war." ”
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he smiled and nodded. To be continued......
