Chapter 128: Trapped Wei Yan, a chaotic battle
Seeing that the Wei army's camp was basically out of control, Wang Jun played another round on the soil bag, which also lasted for 17 minutes, and the stormy barrage completely emptied the entire Wei camp; With his spiritual perception, Wang Jun understood that the matter here was over, and in the short term, the Wei army would never dare to make a comeback.
After Shi Shiran returned to Tongguan, Wang Jun briefly confessed a few words and left overnight; Compared with the Wei State, Wang Jun is more worried about the Shu State, and now there is smoke everywhere around, more than half of them are related to the old man Zhuge , if he is not killed, Wang Jun feels that the meal is not fragrant.
There are many things, only the end, there is no beginning, or rather, the beginning is no longer remembered.
Decades later, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army who are still alive remember the moment when they cleaned up the battlefield the next day; What is the hundred horses galloping to help, flying over Tongguan, and the fire dragon flying...... These are all blurred, and the only vivid purpose is the abandoned Wei army camp, the camp full of corpses, and the camp of hell on earth......
On the morning of August 12, 229 A.D., the sun was slightly scorching; A large group of Suzaku Army officers and soldiers left Tongguan and went straight to the Wei army camp.
The miserable shouts of the Wei army camp in the smoke were much less than last night, and occasionally there were some, and they were far less high than last night, just a slight chirping; All kinds of strangely shaped corpses covered the blood-colored earth, and the smell of roasted meat wafted in the air; The few wounded soldiers of the Wei army who were alive saw Wang Ping and them, but they let go of their burdens in their hearts and cried one by one...... For Wang Ping, even if he experienced the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, he was shocked by the current scene; In Wuzhangyuan, 7,000 Shu soldiers were killed in battle, but the Wang army also broke into the camp with hundreds of people, and now this scene is completely done by Wang Jun alone!
After some counting, including those corpses not far from Bantong Pass, the Wei army lost 21,376 people and wounded 3,452 people; Such a huge number of casualties directly frightened Wang Ping and his party, and some of the accompanying soldiers were Wei pawns who served during the Battle of Guanzhong, and the back of their heads were numb!
If these people are still mixed in the Wei army, there may be themselves lying on the ground!
At this moment, all the soldiers have an understanding of who will be able to unify the world in the future.
To the west of the town of Hongnong.
Less than 100,000 defeated soldiers, all over the riverside fields, listless, slowly advancing towards Hongnong County; If you really want to care about the losses, the Wei army can only be regarded as hurting a large piece of flesh and skin, but the muscles and bones are still there...... It's just that the military heart is gone; No matter how much the hatred in Sima Yi's heart was comparable to a certain sea depth, the defeated army was obviously unable to fight again in a short period of time.
All strategies, whether clever or clumsy, were torn into pieces by the roaring fire dragon; Not to mention the soldiers, as far as Sima Yi himself, the fear in his heart has suppressed the monstrous hatred; Sima Yi had learned a lot, but he still couldn't explain the fire dragon, he only understood one thing, if this fire dragon chased after his people, then he wouldn't even be able to see the sun today.
"When Mao was robbing arms, he didn't think of a whole number of armed helicopters?"
While in a hurry, Wang Jun was complaining to himself.
There is a good reason for this resentment; Riding a horse is indeed very feeling and environmentally friendly, but the efficiency is really not high, if you want to compare it carefully, it is not as fast as Wang Jun's own running; Not to mention rushing from Tongguan to Hanzhong, just rushing to Wudu County, there are more than 500 kilometers of road, you can imagine that it is not easy to ride a horse for thousands of miles; The only consolation is that you don't have to go around in a big circle, which is barely a "straight line".
…………
Halfway through, Wang Jun met Arnold; Looking at a pile of empty ammunition feeders, Wang Jun's heart was dripping blood, this is too loser, give 30,000 rounds of ammunition, do you have to run out?
Not only that, but the Vulcan cannon for Arnold has been used several times, plus 30,000 rounds this time...... 6 barrels, already on the verge of scrapping; Vulcan cannons, Wang Jun still has a few in stock, and there are also some spare barrels, if you add 40 T1 Terminators and 80 Vulcan cannons, in fact, the stock is quite considerable; It's just that now Wang Jun can't get in and out, and he doesn't know how long he will stay in this world.
For Wang Jun, Arnold was too wasted to be a bullet; For Cao Zhen's department, who attacked Wuguan, that night was a lingering nightmare.
The stormy barrage, well, for Cao Zhen, it was also a huge fire dragon that raided his camp; More than 100,000 people cried in the night, and the two trump cards in Cao Zhen's hands, the middle base and the second guerrilla battalion, were scrapped before they officially landed on the battlefield...... In short, the ending of Cao Zhen's department was a little worse than that of Sima Yi's side, and all the defeated troops returned to Nanxiang County.
The offensive on the Western Front, which Wei reluctantly launched, was beaten back by the Han army before it could really be launched; The five elites, the Guanzhong Campaign removed the backbone and Xiao cavalry, and this time the middle base and guerrilla were removed, and only the first battalion of Wuwei remained; reluctantly increased the number of troops by 50,000, bringing the total strength of the country to 450,000, and in less than a month, only a little more than 400,000 remained; After receiving the news from the front, Emperor Wei Ming was very remorseful, for Mao himself would be bewitched by Old Man Zhuge ?
The situation in the vicinity of Dahan has been greatly eased since August 12.
The Wei State in the east, since the battles of Tongguan and Wuguan, has since entered the strategic defense, and until the Han army marched eastward, it did not have the courage to take the initiative to wage war against the Han Dynasty.
The Southern Xiongnu in the north gnawed at Xiao Pass and Jinsuo Pass for a long time, and there was no way to take the Xuanwu army, and as soon as the news of the defeat of the Wei army arrived, it would inevitably slip away; As for Xianbei, he was already in a wait-and-see state, once it was determined that the Han army was fierce and invincible, the possibility of continuing to wait and see was great, and as for whether he would take the opportunity to find the bad luck of Wei, it was difficult to say.
In the west, Zhonglang General Ma Zhong took 5,000 men and horses into the West Sea area, and the small battles continued, and the auxiliary army Zhonglang General Zhao Tong, they took 30,000 troops to the Liangzhou border, and rushed to Loulan with two legs, which was very difficult.
To the south, the Southern Front Army, composed of the Yulin Army and the White Tiger Army, under the command of Zhao Zilong, had begun to defend and counterattack; Obviously, for Wang Jun, he can now put his mind down and deal with Old Man Zhuge now.
Before the arrival of the Wang army, the battle of Han Shu was completely Lao Zhao vs Lao Zhu.
Zhuge Liang understands Zhao Zilong, why doesn't Zhao Zilong understand Zhuge Liang?
For some reason, Zhuge Liang's understanding of Zhao Zilong is not as good as Zhao Zilong's understanding of Zhuge Liang; Like many bosses in later generations, looking at his subordinates, he always thinks that this place is not good, and there is general, Zhuge Liang actually looks down on Zhao Zilong a lot, a lot......
Wai Wei to save Zhao? Zhao Zilong is more ruthless, and it is necessary for soldiers to come to Hanzhong, but eating a part of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is the point; Under the influence of Wang Jun, Zhao Zilong was not interested in the gains and losses of one city and one place, he only cared about whether he could eliminate the living forces of the Shu army.
Wu Yi, the governor of Guanzhong, had a smooth journey, but finally stopped in Yinping County; Hao Zhao concentrated all the troops in the county, and even the chengguan distributed in the counties and townships were pulled back to the county, with 10,000 White Tiger troops and 1,200 chengguan, firmly guarding the county seat of Yinping; Not to mention Wu Yi, even if Zhuge Liang came in person, he couldn't take it...... Originally, in history, Zhuge Liang had eaten Hao Zhao's deflated, but the place was in Chencang.
The governor of Hanzhong, Wei Yan, was trapped in the Hecang area of Wudu County because of Zhuge Liang's tips.
The two retreat routes of the south and east to Hanzhong were each blocked by 7,000 forest troops; To the west, there is only the Qiang Road to go, which can lead to the direction of Yinping County, and can also go around to the southwest to reach Tianshuili County, but Zhang Wei with 7,000 White Tiger troops has been waiting for a long time; And Guo Huai with 13,000 White Tiger Army, plus nearly 2,000 city management, firmly guarded the county seat of Wudu; don't look at the large number of people in Wei Yan, these directions, the Han army has a geographical advantage to defend, and the attacker suffers a great loss, and if you really evaluate it, you need to pay a 10 to 1 battle loss ratio...... There is no point in relying on human life to fill it.
It seems that the only thing left is to take the mountain road to the north...... It's just that to the north is the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, and after more than 100 kilometers over the mountains and mountains, it is Tianshui County, but the risks in this are huge, and Wei Yan does not dare to try it; In case the other end is also blocked by the Han army, then the 30,000 troops will all be treated as savages in the mountains.
A relatively safe way is to take the county seat of Wudu and slowly figure it out; The problem is that history has been twisted by Wang Junqiang, and Wei Yan can't even bite Guo Huai...... Wei Yan is still the same Wei Yan as before, and Guo Huai has learned a lot from Wang Jun, which is very different. In addition, theoretically, as long as Zhuge Liang continued to mobilize Hanzhong soldiers and horses, he could counter-encircle the two-way Yulin army that cut off Wei Yan's retreat; However, this is just a theory, outside Hanzhong City, Zhao Zilong is swaying with a 16,000 Yulin army, so Wei Yan can only wait slowly.
Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky; This remark expresses the ancient Shu conquest from the side, the logistics burden is very large, the work is difficult to do, the history of the Shu army has been many northern expeditions, are trapped in grain and grass; Wang Jun naturally understood this, so the biggest advantage of the White Tiger Army over the Shu Army was based on grain and grass; Yinping County and Wudu County are piled up with grain and grass in them, more than any county town in the jurisdiction of Wang Jun, in order to deal with the siege of the old man Zhuge .
The war lasted for a short time, and in addition to the White Tiger Army, Wei Yan's department, Wu Yi's department, including the Yulin Army that came from afar, all had food problems; However, Wu Yi's rear road is smooth, and the grain and grass can be continuously replenished, but it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the same is true for the Yulin Army; Only Wei Yan's department is said to be shy and bitter.
In fact, according to Wei Yan's own thoughts, then Zhao Zilong may not be able to trap him completely, everything has to start with Zhuge Liang's tips; Zhuge Liang gave Wei Yan a total of two tips, which were very similar to what he gave to Lao Zhao at the beginning, and it seemed that it had become a common practice.
The first tip was opened when Wei Yan planned to divide troops on the road south to Hanzhong, with only four words: "No need to guard"; Zhuge Liang thought that the Wang army was embattled, and there were not too many troops to put on the southern front, so naturally they could not block all the roads; Sending hundreds of people to block the road is obviously useless, sending thousands of people, and the Wang army is not manpowered; In fact, Zhuge Liang believed that the Wang army must send the only mobile forces it had to the eastern front of the Han Dynasty to resist the Wei army. In his heart, Wei Yan felt that it was very inappropriate, but the Prime Minister's military Fei Yi, the Prime Minister's Office Huo Yi, Zhuge Qiao and others followed, so he had no choice but to do so; I finally got the opportunity to come out to fight, but I couldn't be sent back by Zhuge Liang halfway, it is said that anyone who does not act according to the tips will have a miserable result.
The second trick can only be opened when Wei Yan encounters a critical moment; At the moment, he was just trapped, and the Han army did not take the initiative to attack, so it was not a critical moment, and Wei Yan didn't know what was written in it.
Wei Yan didn't know that when Zhao Zilong appeared under the city of Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang finally understood that he was wrong, but it was too late; There are still 20,000 horses in Hanzhong City, but Zhuge Liang is really not sure about the field battle out of the city, Zhao Zilong's bravery is not something that anyone can carry; It's just that if you don't go out of the city to fight, then there is no way to transport grain and grass to Wei Yanbu, and the 30,000 troops are waiting to starve and die...... In Hanzhong City, the atmosphere is extremely solemn.
The state of Shu, which has suffered a great loss of vitality, has overdrawn its national strength many times, and its current strength has reached the point of being overstretched; However, the current situation is quite sinister, and if you don't lose everything, Zhuge Liang can only gamble, and a series of orders are quickly issued from Hanzhong City. First, some of Wu Yi's troops and horses were transferred, and Liao Hua was asked to rush to Hanzhong with 15,000 horses; second, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry guarding Xichuan was transferred, Zhuge Liang didn't like Ma Dai and Ma Cheng, but where could he take care of these at the moment; No one knew that Zhuge Liang even had the idea of transferring Bai Yu soldiers from Yong'an, but the distance was too far, so he had to give up.
Smart people generally rarely make mistakes, but once they do, they are out of control; Zhuge Liang is obviously a smart person.
…………
"Abba, you see, someone can run faster than a horse!"
Outside Dunhuang City, a little kid's eyes widened and he looked at Ada who had gone away.
"People? …… Kid, are you sure it's human? ”
When the man in the prime of life turned his head to look, there was only a small black dot left in the flying dust, how could it be a person?
“……”
Ada spent a lot of time to diagnose and treat the senior generals in Liangzhou all the way, and only rushed to Dunhuang the night before yesterday to give Cangci a good diagnosis and treatment, which was the core purpose of Wang Jun sending him; This morning, the advance of the Qinglong Army drove into Dunhuang and brought Wang Jun's warrant to Ada: if Cangci's treatment is completed, the others can ignore it and rush to Yinping County.
Obviously, there is no need to go to Loulan's medical trip, Ada has no interest in scenic monuments, and after he explained to Cangci how to recuperate his body, he pulled his legs and ran away; Cang Ci also saw the warrant, and was moved by the confusion, and the king of Han specially assigned Ada to treat him...... Others, it turns out that it is just incidental.
3,000 miles, if humans want to walk, they have to be counted on a monthly basis; Ada is a terminator, not a human, maintaining a speed of 160 miles per hour, and never sleeps all the way; Only 19 hours later, near Yinping County, Ada's figure appeared; At this time, Zhuge Liang's order to transfer Liao Hua and 15,000 troops had just been executed, and Wang Jun took Arnold before arriving in Chencang.
Wu Yi, the governor of Guanzhong, and Jiang Wan, the prime minister, had to withdraw from the siege and retreat; Half of the men and horses were transferred by Zhuge Liang, and with 15,000 troops, they could not encircle the county town of Yinping; according to Zhuge Liang's order, Wu Yi and Jiang Wan planned to retreat to Guangwu County with their troops to guard the fruits of victory.
However, the territory of the Han army, how can it come and go when you want?
Hao Zhao is good at guarding and is famous, but this does not mean that he will not attack, not to mention that there is Ada to help; 4,000 sword and shield soldiers and 2,000 longbowmen followed Ada out of the south gate of Yinping County and began the Ouroboros pursuit.
Among the Han army, except for the logo of the Xuanwu Army, which is somewhat funny, the rest are either beautiful or mighty; The White Tiger Army, the tiger head logo, is mighty; Compared with the large square shield of the Xuanwu Army, the shield of the White Tiger Army is much smaller, and it is round, the surface is convex with a tiger head, the texture is hard, and the protection is not weak, which is more suitable for mountain combat; Heavy armor, too much, does not match the needs of the White Tiger Army in mountain combat, chain mail, the current process can not be made, finally, scale armor, the standard armor of this period, has become the most characteristic equipment of the White Tiger Army; In addition, drawing on the experience of the Roman army, Wang Jun also equipped the white tiger sword and shield soldiers with short javelins, each with three poles.
Wu Yi and Jiang Wan are both old people, and the soldiers and horses behind the palace are also ready to counterattack; At first, the retreat of the army was still orderly, and then, the situation was not good, and the army began to accelerate its retreat, and in the end, it became an escape...... Ada is too fierce for anyone to stop! No matter what danger Wu Yi is looking for, Ada is still on a rampage; The White Tiger Army, which followed Ada, was like a tiger descending from the mountain, taking advantage of the chaos, with long-range arrows like rain, medium-range javelins like locusts, and close-range shields slashing with knives.
Normally, it's good to defeat the escape, but not this time; As long as Wu Yi and the others stopped, the White Tiger Army would appear soon after, and after being beaten again, Wu Yi could only continue to run...... In this way, chasing and fighting, the White Tiger Army and Wu Yi's subordinates launched a long-distance pursuit battle; Occupy the county seat of Guangwu? There are no doors!
Zhuge Liang couldn't figure it out, Wang Jun couldn't think of it, and even Hao Zhao, who ordered the pursuit, couldn't figure it out; The White Tiger Army pursued and killed for several days and nights, not only recovering the lost territory of Yinping County, but also capturing the Sword Pavilion of Shu Kingdom, capturing many people along the way!
For both sides, the battle has become a mess.
You have me, I have you, that's the way it is; The southern end of Zitong County was still in the hands of the Shu army, but the key passage from Hanzhong to the Chengdu Plain was cut off by the White Tiger Army and became a semi-isolated area; In fact, if the soldiers of the White Tiger Army were still able to run, Ada might take them directly to Hanzhong, and only need to have another long-distance pursuit for a few days and nights.
…………
Wu Yi and Jiang Wan sat paralyzed in front of Sima Yi, unable to get up, they could only cry, and the soldiers who came back with them were less than 300 people; A few days ago, Wu Yi also besieged Yinping County with a bang, but now he was hunted down for a few days and nights, not only returning all the fruits of the battle to the Han army, but also allowing the Han army to occupy a lot of land in Zitong County and take away the Sword Pavilion...... What a tragedy!
