Chapter 112: The fierce battle against Yang Wei of the White Horse Iron Army
Hakuba, formerly known as Hakumajin, was later occupied by Han Fu, after expansion, to the level of a second-class town, now people call it Hakuba City, in fact, the port of Hakuba is still the main function of the city.
The city's more important role as the acropolis of Puyang, coupled with the fact that it has a port to provide logistical support, is a very important strategic node for Han Fu, who controls the Yellow River waterway.
Since the Iron Army defected to Lu Bu, not only Yan County continued to be in the hands of the Iron Army, but Lu Bu also allocated Changyuan to the Iron Army to take charge, but Lu Bu also stationed a force in Changyuan, which was to guard against Han Fu, and now it has become the vanguard of attacking Han Fu.
On February 20 of the sixth year of Guangxi, Lu Bu announced that he had been ordered to crusade against Han Fu, and sent white horses and left the fox. 1012
The first attack on Baima was carried out by the Tie Army, while Cao Xing, who was stationed in Changyuan, attacked Lihu as the vanguard, and LĂź Bu's main force then set out from Dingtao and advanced towards Lihu via Dongming.
It is Gao Ran who is stationed in Puyang, and in Baima is Han Fu's veteran Zhao Fu, Zhao Fu is more of a naval general, but White Horse City is originally half a water village, so it is also very appropriate for Zhao Fu to defend.
The Iron Army's actions were very fast, and it took three days to travel more than two hundred miles, and Zhao Fu was ready to do so, and the Iron Army was camped in the southwest of Baima.
Zhao Fu saw that the Iron Army's military law was strict, and the camp was even more neat and tidy, so he gave up the idea of taking advantage of the Iron Army's unstable foothold to attack at night.
There was nothing to do overnight, the next day, the Iron Army out of the camp and began to advance towards the White Horse City, Zhao Fu, who was standing at the head of the city, regretted a little when he saw the long-range troops of the Iron Army, and knew that he should try the battle, if the battlefield was placed on the flat ground on the edge of the Yellow River, maybe he could use the assistance of the water army to win, now look at the opponent's posture. My own long-range is obviously at a loss, and I have a warship in my hand but I can't use it.
The number of the Iron Army was not large, 10,000 heavy infantry, 50,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry. That's all the Iron Army's belongings. Therefore, the Iron Army had no intention of attacking the White Horse, which was no less numerous than its own, and the Iron Army received the order to besiege the White Horse, not to storm the White Horse.
There is also speculation within the Iron Army about this, thinking that Pang Yuan wants to encircle the point and send reinforcements. Eliminate Han Fu's living force first, so Pang Yuan's eyes must not only be on Puyang and the entire Dongjun, maybe he also has a crush on Dongping County!
The ranged troops outside the city and the long-range strike forces inside the city threw boulders at each other, and Song Hufeng asked the heavy infantry to protect the crossbowmen to advance, and then formed a "shot" with the defenders under the city. It's just that the damage on both sides is limited, and it's just that everyone is testing each other.
But Zhao Fu in the city was still very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the troops of the Inhumans already had such a strong strength, and the exchange between the city and the city was carefully calculated, and he didn't take advantage of it at all, you must know that you have a city bonus! Faced with this situation, Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.
It seems that the decision to hold on to one's own stubbornness was absolutely wrong, on the one hand, as the ratio of losses of the long-range troops of both sides expanded. The suppression effect of the opponent's long-range troops will become stronger and stronger, on the other hand, the opponent has not yet dispatched heavy infantry in the case of their own exchange ratio is already very unsatisfactory, if the heavy infantry is sent out truthfully, if it is so passively defended, unless there are external reinforcements. Otherwise, you will surely lose.
In view of this, Zhao Fu felt that he had to make a surprise attack.
The first day of the battle was so thrilling, and although the battlefield was dangerous, it didn't make people feel very intense. It feels more like a decent military training, especially on the Iron Army, where the various units take turns to fight. The intention of the training is even more obvious.
At night, Zhao Fu still did not send troops to sneak attack, and the next day, Zhao Fu still held the city, it seems that Zhao Fu has recognized this style of play, or maybe Zhao Fu is waiting for reinforcements.
Song Hufeng didn't care what Zhao Fu thought, he still continued yesterday's style of play according to his own ideas, while using long-range troops to continue to consume the opponent's long-range troops, and at the same time, using infantry to take turns to "shoot" at the enemy, looking unhurried.
It was just noon, the sun rose overhead, and Song Hufeng was about to ask the troops to start taking turns to eat, when suddenly, a thick smoke rose from the camp a few miles behind.
But it turned out to be Zhao Fu's strategy, Zhao Fu did not do nothing last night, but quietly released the water army out of the water village, and then moved upstream overnight, and when today's battle was in full swing, Zhao Fu led the water army down the river, landed not far from the iron army camp, and then slammed the iron army's camp from behind, trying to destroy the iron army's camp in one fell swoop, destroy the morale of the iron army, and then launch a counterattack with the defenders in the city, and defeat the iron army before and after.
This idea should be said to be very good, but how could these sub-players of the Iron Army not think that this feeling might be 'sexual', especially for the water army in Zhao Fu's hands, Song Hufeng and others have coveted it for a long time, and they are always on guard.
Originally, they thought that Zhao Fu would choose to fight on the riverbank, in that case, Song Hufeng would contain Zhao Fu, and then Dian Wei led the heavy infantry to steal the city, but Zhao Fu did not use this trick, but used the trick of stealing the camp.
Now in the camp is Dian Wei, who has not participated in the attack on Dian Wei for the past two days, and the heavy infantry is only half out, and the other half is just the player and light infantry pretending. 1012
Zhao Fu led the navy to the rear camp of the enemy army who seemed to have no reaction, and the defenders on the wall of the wall "scattered" and "shot" a few arrows, and actually turned around and ran, Zhao Fu was overjoyed.
"The enemy is in a plan, quickly open the gate of the camp and break through the enemy camp 1
Zhao Fujun screamed and knocked down the gate and back wall of the camp and rushed into the camp, only when they swarmed in, they found that there were no people in the camp except for a lot of pits, but the camp was full of heavy infantry standing outside, and behind these infantry, all were crossbowmen!
It turned out that Dian Wei was even more ruthless, and directly ordered the crossbowmen to retreat, and gave Zhao Fu's subordinates a pocket array in the camp, and by the way, let the players dig a lot of traps, Zhao Fu rushed in, in front of him was a "chaotic" messy pit, opposite was a locust-like crossbow arrow, and the heavy infantry attacked along the wall to the back door, wanting to make Zhao Fu's troops dumplings.
"The enemy has been tricked! Kill ah 1
This time it was the soldiers of the Iron Army who were shouting, and then there were overwhelming arrows and skills, Dian Wei even led the heavy infantry to cut into Zhao Fu's rear army position like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly blocked Zhao Fu's back road!
Zhao Fu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately broke through to one side with all his might, although Dian Wei's arrangement was very thoughtful, and Dian Wei's combat power was also very terrifying, but Zhao Fu's troops were still quite a lot, and under the rush of sacrificing his life, Zhao Fu actually broke through the trap and killed it, and then rushed all the way to the place where the ship was moored, who knows, the ship has been set on fire!
Seeing that Zhao Fu and some of the routs had run away, Dian Wei immediately ordered the players to pursue freely, while he hurried to form a team.
"Immediately the whole team, the heavy infantry unarmoured, the old tents and firewood, and then the crossbowmen ran to the front camp, and went out to meet in the direction of the lord."
"The heavy infantry waved the banner of Zhao Fu and chased after him."
Of course, this will not be the plan of the wicked man Dian Wei, but the plan of Song Hufeng's staff group, they want to be able to deceive the defenders in White Horse City, if they succeed, or they can take White Horse City lightly, as for the encirclement point to send reinforcements, the effect of encircling Puyang is not better!
In fact, Pang Yuan did not have a plan to die in this regard, if he can get off the white horse, it doesn't matter if he can't, Pang Yuan has fully considered all this, although Song Hufeng didn't know Pang Yuan's plan, but Pang Yuan didn't say that he couldn't capture the white horse, so Song Hufeng naturally hoped to win the white horse, firstly, to raise the prestige of the Iron Army, and secondly, it was also the expectation of the members.
Dian Wei's feigned rout and pursuers, as well as the fire ignited in the camp, did successfully deceive the defenders in the city, especially the banner of Zhao Fu in the pursuing troops, which completely made the defenders in the city let go of the last bit of suspicion.
Then it was Song Hufeng's turn to act, and Song Hufeng hurriedly ordered to stop the siege, put away the long-range troops, and then gather the troops to form a formation and prepare for defense.
The defenders in the city took the opportunity to open the city gate to launch a counterattack, who knows, but Song Hufeng ignored the troops behind him, and suddenly attacked the defenders out of the city with all his strength, and then, those guys with the banner of Zhao Fu also joined the ranks of attacking themselves, at this time, the defenders in the city knew that they were completely fooled.
Song Hufeng's long-range troops reopened and bombarded the city gates, cutting off the way for the defenders inside the city to respond and the defenders outside the city to retreat, and the defenders out of the city were fighting a completely hopeless battle, and soon after, the morale completely collapsed, and most of the troops who attacked gave up the battle and surrendered.
Subsequently, the lack of troops and the major general lost the White Horse City commanded by Zhao Fu was also broken the city gate, and the few remaining defenders in the city surrendered after a little resistance.
The fall of the white horse made the defenders of Lihu panic, and then the arrival of Lu Bu made the morale of the defenders of Lihu plummet, Lu Bu personally led the army to gallop back and forth under the city to "shoot", and the strong archers made the defenders on the city not even dare to take the head, as a result, Lu Bu's infantry easily put the siege ladder and the well on the city wall, and under the strong suppression of cavalry and crossbowmen, the city head was soon lost.
The defenders collapsed and fled from the north gate, who knew that Lu Bu was waiting here, how could the infantry outrun the cavalry, and as a result, the 20,000 defenders in Fox City were all wiped out, and Lu Bu did not stop him for a day from Fox City
The rapid loss of the white horse and the fox was not only a matter of face, but also the strong combat effectiveness of Lu Bu's army made Puyang fall into a panic, and even Han Fu, who was far away in Yecheng, was also panicked, and hurriedly ordered the frustration in Dongping County to move to Dongjun to resist Lu Bu's attack, and ordered Gao Ran to defend Puyang, and at the same time Ming Liyi led the army south to rescue Puyang.
Fu Zhu led the army to Yingcheng quickly, trying to threaten Lu Bu's back road Juyang, Lu Bu really divided his troops to defend Juyang, but the main force of the Iron Army and Lu Bu still surrounded Puyang, and the battle of Puyang began.
