Chapter 78 Sanchuan was defeated, and Zhang Han became famous
Since Li You's army was raised by Sanchuan, the Qin State was caught off guard, so Li You attacked the city all the way and was unstoppable. But this is mainly due to the surprise, the attack is unprepared, when the Qin side eased up, Li You's attack was frustrated again and again, plus because of the withdrawal of the dog Rong cavalry back to the alliance, the Sanchuan army was weak, after all, it was still difficult to support alone.
What's worse is that at this time, Zhang Han is leading the army to rush here. Li You in the big tent was disturbed by the snowflakes of battle reports in front of the case, and he was anxious.
Today, he led his troops to storm Qiushui Pass and returned again, which was the third time. The morale of the troops gradually declined, and the grain and grass in the army were about to be exhausted, and if Qiushui Pass was not captured, the Sanchuan army could fall into the encirclement of the Qin army at any time.
"Report ......, I just caught a group of deserters, please make a decision." Li You was really angry when he heard the report, and roared angrily: "Pull me out and behead me to show the public, so that everyone knows that this is the end of escaping." All the generals under the tent looked at each other and were silent.
On the cutting platform, there was a young general who was bound all over, and there were more than a dozen small soldiers kneeling behind the young general. Li You walked to the young general's side and shouted: "General Ben treats you well, why do you still lead the team to escape?" The young general straightened his waist and said: "Li Yougou thief, you have bewitched and coerced us to rebel for your own selfish desires, and ignored the people of Sanchuan, how can we work for you again." Today, I was unfortunately caught by you, and I want to kill or chop up, and I will listen to you. Li You was so angry that he trembled, and immediately pulled out his sword, and cut off the head of the young general to the ground with a sword, and then gave an order, and the executioner on the side also raised his sword, and the dozen or so small soldiers also fell to the ground.
After dealing with the deserters, Li Youqiang was in good spirits and returned to the tent to gather the generals to discuss the next step. Li You was desperate this time, he decided to transfer back all the troops sent to block Zhang Han's reinforcements, and prepared to concentrate his forces to attack Qiushui Pass, and then enter the city to loot to replenish military funds after breaking the pass, and then use the danger of Qiushui Pass to block Zhang Han's army, in order to win a glimmer of life.
When the generals saw that Li You's mind had been decided, they stopped talking, and Li You instructed the generals one by one, and the generals took the order to leave.
"General Sima, what do you think of today's plan?" On the road, a white-robed young general couldn't help but ask the old general Sima. When all the generals heard this, they all gathered around, and General Sima gently shushed, signaling everyone to move quietly, and then said softly: "The Qiushui Pass ahead is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army is difficult to conquer for a while, and Zhang Han's army has been killed from the flank, and it will arrive in a few days, if our army does not retreat separately, it will definitely be annihilated." At this time, the handsome man still had to fight the trapped beasts, which was tantamount to a fool's dream, and he didn't take the lives of our soldiers in his eyes at all. After hearing this, the white-robed young general couldn't wait to ask: "Knowing this, why didn't the general stop the marshal just now?"
General Sima smiled miserably and said, "Didn't you see the eyes of the big handsome just now that were about to erupt into flames? If anyone had raised any objections just now, I think he would have been bloodied on the spot. All the generals broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this, and the white-robed young general asked timidly: "Then according to what the old general sees, what should we do?" General Sima twisted his white beard and said slowly: "At the moment of life and death, the camera should act." After saying that, he ignored the crowd and went on his horse.
In the early morning of the second day, Li You was draped all over his body, riding on a horse with a sword, and with an order, the archers behind him fired thousands of arrows and shot straight into the Qiushui Pass. After a rain of arrows, Li You pulled out his long sword and shouted, "Charge me ......."
The battlefield suddenly gathered thousands of horses, dust flew, and hundreds of thousands of Sanchuan soldiers were driven forward like cattle and sheep.
rushed to the front of the pass, only to see that at this time, countless archers suddenly appeared in the city, all of them were full of bowstrings, ready to attack. At the sound of an order, arrows rained down in front of the pass, and the Sanchuan army fell one piece, and the Sanchuan soldiers behind them hurriedly used their shields to build a ring protective wall and continued to advance.
Seeing this, the Qin army in the city put down their bows and arrows, and in groups of two or three they lifted the boulders on the city and smashed them under the city, and at the same time, the catapults in the city also began to attack. Although the shield was hard, how could it withstand the fall of the boulder, and the Sanchuan army was smashed by the boulder and turned over on their backs, and immediately fell into infinite chaos and fear. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li You hurriedly led his own guards to kill the deserters, but he couldn't stop the rout like a tide at all.
At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly came behind the Sanchuan army, all of them descended from the sky like divine soldiers, and the prancing horses rushed into the formation, wantonly slashing and killing the Sanchuan soldiers, as if they were in a no-man's land, and the Sanchuan troops were even more chaotic.
It turned out that this was Zhang Han's vanguard force, and after Zhang Han received the news that Li You wanted to join forces to attack Qiushui Pass, he immediately ordered an elite light cavalry to travel day and night to rush to the aid of Qiushui Pass at all costs. Just when Li You's attack was frustrated, this cavalry unit arrived, and the cavalry general seized the fighter plane when he saw this, and immediately ordered the troops to attack, killing the Sanchuan army by surprise and throwing off their armor.
After the panic, Li Youzheng wanted to organize his army to kill this group of uninvited guests, but his left army did not listen to the order, and was fleeing to the east of the city under the leadership of a general. Seeing this, Li You couldn't help but blurt out and scolded: "Sima old thief, he actually defected to the battle." Everyone around him panicked when they heard this, and they didn't have the heart to fight, so they abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions.
Li You regretted it in his heart, but he was unable to return to the sky, at this time the gate was opened, the Qin army in the pass came out of the chrysalis, and the Qin cavalry outside the city worked together to cover the Sanchuan army, the Sanchuan army was defeated, tens of thousands of soldiers were beheaded, and the rest were scattered, Li You was also captured by the Qin army due to exhaustion, and the vigorous Sanchuan Rebellion came to an end.
The news that Zhang Han had broken the hundreds of thousands of rebels with only one cavalry spread, and Zhang Han's prestige immediately spread throughout the Qin State.
