Chapter 16: The Battle of Kunyang Affected

"As for the cause of Mohenjo Daro's destruction, do you think it could be a disaster caused by someone traveling through time and space?"

After reading the introduction of the three natural disasters, Marcy asked this question. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Le Su thought for a moment and replied, "It's unlikely, how can there be such a big movement through time and space?" ”

Ma Qian followed Le Su every time, and she didn't know how much movement it would make, so she didn't say anything.

…………

In the last years of the new dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the Green Forest Army supported Liu Xuan as the emperor, restored the Han Dynasty, and established the first regime.

In order to deal with the Green Forest Army, Wang Mang gathered 420,000 troops from all over the country, known as one million, commanded by Wang Yi and Wang Xun, and drove to the front.

In May 23 AD, after Wang Yi's army met with the defeated army of Yan You and Chen Mao, he advanced from Yingchuan to Kunyang, and more than 100,000 troops arrived in Kunyang in two or three days, and Wang Yi immediately ordered to besiege Kunyang.

General Yan You believed that all troops should not be used in Kunyang. Because the small city of Kunyang does not hinder the overall situation, and it is very strong, it is difficult to capture. The army should go straight to Wancheng, as long as the green forest army besieging Wancheng is broken, Kunyang will not be attacked.

Wang Yi vetoed this correct plan, and he said arrogantly: "When I besieged Zhai Yi before, I was blamed for not being able to capture him alive, and now I am commanding an army of millions, and when I encounter the enemy's city, I actually make a detour and cannot take it, how can this show our prestige!" Wouldn't it be happier to kill all the soldiers and civilians in this city first, and the whole army marched forward with their blood and singing and dancing! ”

So the army continued to besiege Kunyang City according to Wang Yi's intentions. In order to show its combat capability, the new army surrounded Kunyang on more than 10 floors, set up more than 100 military camps, and the sound of gongs and drums could be heard dozens of miles away.

The army dug tunnels, attacked the city with rushing carts and boxcars, and concentrated all the crossbows to fire wildly into the city. The arrows poured like rain, and the soldiers and civilians in the city could not go out, and even when they went out to fetch water, they had to put their heads on the door panels to prevent arrows.

When the battle was the hardest, the defender Wang Feng and others wavered for a while and begged to surrender to Wangyi, but Wang Yi and Wang Xun felt that the capture of Kunyang was just around the corner, and they were not allowed to surrender!

Wang Yi probably thought that if he was surrendered, he would not be considered a meritorious service, and he was determined to set foot in Kunyang. The defenders realized that they could only survive if they held on desperately and waited for reinforcements, so they fought the new army even more tenaciously.

At this time, Yan You saw that Kunyang was difficult to capture in a short time, so he suggested to Wang Yi again: "The siege of the city must be que, and the art of war says that there must be a gap in the encirclement of the enemy, and we should let the enemy of Kunyang escape partially, so that they can spread the news of defeat, so that they can also shock the enemy of Wancheng." ”

However, Wang Yi relied on his own troops and sufficient food to occupy an absolutely dominant position, but still did not adopt Yan You's suggestion, and continued to attack Kunyang, so that his hundreds of thousands of troops could be stationed under the city.

There is no time to lose. Sometimes it's really not how high the protagonist's IQ is, and there are a lot of pig-like opponents.

At the end of May 23 A.D. (the first year of the change), Wancheng was besieged by the Green Forest Army (Han Army) for a long time, with no grain and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and the defender Cen Peng was forced to surrender.

At this time, the army led by Wang Yi was still besieging Kunyang, and it was recorded in the Guangwu Book of the Later Han Dynasty that when hundreds of thousands of troops were full of ambition and preparing to besiege the city for reinforcements, "there were meteors falling into the camp at night, and there were clouds like bad mountains during the day.

First, the meteorite summoning technique, and during the day, I saw that a big mushroom cloud in the sky seemed to be coming down, and the morale of the whole army of the Xinmang Army was suddenly greatly damaged.

In fact, this is not the case, the meteorite did damage the morale of the Xinmang army to a certain extent, but the next day Wang Yi announced that it was the immortal master who came to help, and the immortal master showed the flame technique in public, which made the morale recover a lot.

Later, the immortal master also summoned a child, which is the reason for the strange cloud statue in the camp.

However, there is one thing that Wang Yi did not tell others, that is, the immortal master is unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the world, so he can only ensure that he does not die, and the matter of breaking the formation and killing the enemy has to rely on Wang Yi himself.

Wang Yi secretly rejoiced in his heart, this is enough, the new Mang army has a great advantage in strength, as long as he is okay, no matter how he fights, he will win.

But things are not as simple as Wang Yi thought......

On the first day of June, the Han army led by Li Yi and Liu Xiu from Dingling, Yuncheng and other places arrived in the Kunyang area. In order to encourage everyone's fighting spirit, Liu Xiu led more than 1,000 infantry cavalry as the vanguard, and Li Yi led the main force to follow.

When approaching the Xinmang army for four or five miles, Liu Xiujun set up a position and prepared to attack. Wang Yi and Wang Xun also sent thousands of troops to meet the battle. Liu Xiu personally led the men and horses to rush and kill dozens of new troops.

The generals who followed said happily: "General Liu is usually very scared when he sees a small group of enemies, but today he sees a big enemy, but he is very brave, which is really amazing." In the future, please always lead us in battle, and we will work together to defeat the enemy! ”

Liu Xiu then led his soldiers to attack the Xinmang army, killing nearly 1,000 people, and the Xinmang army was defeated.

Subsequently, Liu Xiu led his troops to win several battles in a row, which greatly boosted the fighting spirit of his own side and reduced the sharpness of Wang Yi and Wang Xun.

Liu Xiu also selected a death squad of 3,000 people to attack the backbone of the new army from the west of the city. Wang Yi and Wang Xun despised Liu Xiu, thinking that it would be easy to defeat Liu Xiu. Therefore, the two of them, as the chief and deputy commanders, only led more than 10,000 people to inspect the position. In order to prevent confusion among the battalions, they also ordered the battalions to strictly control their troops and not to send troops without orders.

Wang Yi and Wang Xun personally led troops to meet Liu Xiu, but they were not the opponents of Liu Xiu's 3,000-strong army, and the formation was quickly broken by Liu Xiu's army, and the soldiers fled in confusion.

At this time, the rest of the troops of the Xinmang Army did not dare to act rashly, so no one took the initiative to support the battle. Liu Xiu led the army to storm bravely, defeated Wang Yi and Wang Xun's troops in one go, and killed Wang Xun, who was rescued by a strange man who could manipulate flames......

After Wang Yi's backbone was crushed and Wang Xun was killed, the various units of the Xinmang Army lost their command center and immediately became a mess.

At this time, the Green Forest Army in Kunyang City saw the victory of the death squad led by Liu Xiu and others, and also shouted the sound of rushing and killing, and went out of the city to attack the Xinmang army, and the killing sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the Xinmang's 420,000 army quickly collapsed.

Wang Yi relied on the protection of immortals, and wanted to collect the defeated soldiers and make a comeback, but at this time, the wind and rain were raging, and it was difficult for the immortals to protect his life in this case, so he had to flee for his life first.

The weather was extremely bad, the roof tiles were blown away by strong winds, the rain poured down, the river swelled, and the tigers and leopards in Wang Yijun's team trembled with fear.

The reckless soldiers who fled pushed each other, and more than 10,000 soldiers fell into the water and drowned, and the river was almost cut off by corpses. Wang Yi, Yan You, Chen Mao and others only escaped by crossing the river with a few elite horsemen......

After the Battle of Kunyang, the military foundation of Wang Mang's new dynasty was completely destroyed, and the powerful people in various places killed the new dynasty herdsmen, changed to the Han Dynasty year name, and obeyed the government decree of the new dynasty. It didn't take long for the Green Forest Army to invade Chang'an, Wang Mang was killed, and the new dynasty perished.

After the common enemy was eliminated, the contradictions within the Green Forest Army (Han Army) became apparent. The first emperor Liu Xuan, with the support of Li Yi, Zhu Kun and others, put to death Liu Xuan, who posed the greatest threat to him, and his subordinate Liu Ji.

Liu Xiu is Liu Xiu's younger brother, and he was originally the target of purge, but Liu Xiu's low-key forbearance allowed him to escape, and he was also named Wu Xinhou for his merits.

If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. After this incident, Liu Xiutao kept his eyes on it, waited for the opportunity, and finally accumulated strength in the process of patrolling the places in Hebei.

Subsequently, Liu Xiu broke with the change regime, that is, the emperor's throne, and finally unified the world and became the founding monarch, known as the Eastern Han Dynasty ancestor Guangwu Emperor.
