Chapter 14: Mengwu died in battle
readx;?? The next morning, after seeing Cao Shen's expression, Zhang Jiashi knew that the other party's action had failed. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][].. [>
But he didn't care about anything, after all, the chances of such a contact succeeding were very small. So Zhang Jiashi didn't care too much about it.
Of course, things have come to this point, and Zhang Jiashi himself knows that he must launch an attack on Nan Zheng.
The rest of the army during this period of time is almost over, after all, in the past few days of waiting for supplies, the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi have not been too idle.
......
Regarding the attack on Nanzheng City, Zhang Jiashi did not plan to besiege it at the beginning.
But what Zhang Jiashi himself didn't expect was that the defenders in Nanzheng City actually had such a dare to engage in a field battle with his troops.
In this respect, although there is no large number of knight troops, the newly organized southbound troops of the Guanzhong Legion are indeed very deficient in terms of interspersed ability, but it does not mean that these reorganized infantry units under Zhang Jiashi can be defeated so easily.
In this regard, Zhang Jiashi sent Han Xin's subordinate under his command to deal with the challenge of the Hanzhong army.
................................................ Dividing line ......................................................
Han Xin's own strength, among the generals under Zhang Jiashi, Wu Yong is indeed not ranked. But in terms of tactical mobilization of troops and training of troops, Han Xin's ability is inferior even to Su Jiao.
He was facing a relative lieutenant of Gongsun Zao.
Each side sent 5,000 infantry to line up in a small flat area north of Nanzheng City, separated by more than a kilometer.
According to Zhang Jiashi's idea, since the other party has the courage to send such a force to challenge, maybe the other party is an elite army that originally belonged to the soldiers of Hanzhong County.
What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect at that time was that after the other party launched a charge, he could not withstand the long-range fire of the crossbow infantry under Han Xin's command before he had a hand-to-hand encounter with Han Xin's army, and retreated.
The corpses left by the other side on the battlefield are not too many, that is, the loss of about fifteen or six hundred casualties.
In such a situation, it is impossible to prevent Zhang Jiashi from falling through his glasses.
Faced with such a result. Even Han Xin himself was a little stunned. Because in his heart, his thoughts are similar to Zhang Jiashi.
"The other party shouldn't be showing weakness, right?"
Such a question is not only Zhang Jiashi's doubt, even Li Zuoche himself doesn't know what kind of idea he should have.
But no matter what, Zhang Jiashi knew that it was time for the main operation next.
......
On the other hand, there were three or four thousand Han Chinese troops stationed in the Fengxian area. At this time, it moves to a valley west of Nanzheng.
The commander of this army has to take advantage of the fact that the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command have focused their attention on Nanzheng City. before launching a sneak attack on the siege troops.
But one thing he didn't expect at all was that Zhang Jiashi had no intention of besieging Nanzheng City at all.
Gongsun Zao himself underestimated one thing, that is, the newly formed Qin army under Zhang Jiashi, whether in terms of equipment or siege equipment, was a distance away from the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire during the Zhao Gao Huhai period.
The siege troops sent by Zhang Jiashi soon relied on packers and those bows and crossbows with higher accuracy and longer range to directly suppress the defenders of Nanzheng City to the point that they could not raise their heads.
Although some Hanzhong officers and soldiers who are not afraid of death did bring a lot of casualties to the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi, the Hanzhong officers and soldiers on the city wall. There were also no fewer casualties. Not to mention, before the city wall was in close combat, a large number of houses located in the north of Nanzheng were set on fire by those oil bags.
Many of the Hanzhong officers and soldiers who intended to support the northern wall from the streets soon had to abandon their plans.
Looking outside the city, a large amount of black smoke rose from many areas north of Nanzheng City, making Zhang Jiashi very clear that the north of Nanzheng City was likely to become a sea of fire.
At this time, Nguyen Ong Thieu. Han Xin's two troops served as the main force of the siege, and the material officers under their command pushed dozens of ladder trucks and an iron cart to the north of Nanzheng City.
In the case that the defenders of the city head were unable to organize an effective counterattack, many of the officers who operated the ladder truck cut the rope used to control the rope of throwing the ladder above the ladder truck, and the upper ladder quickly attached to the city wall in the north of Nanzheng County under the physical action.
The large number of Qin officers and soldiers above the ladder cart quickly took advantage of their small formation. Blocked the desperate counterattack of a large number of Hanzhong troops and rushed to the passage of the city wall.
The Qin officers and soldiers who kept jumping off the top of the ladder and arrived at the passage of the city wall continued to expand their control area.
The flames north of Nanzheng City became more and more intense, while the Hanzhong defenders on the city wall were gradually seized by the Qin army in the absence of support.
The Han Zhongjun themselves probably couldn't imagine that they would be driven down the city wall area by the other party so quickly.
But for the officers and soldiers of Qin, they took this matter for granted. Because they are brave men who have been trained accordingly.
Battles on the city walls. Let the special operations officers and soldiers who are still digging the masonry of the city wall under the city gate say that they are busy in vain.
However, they did not just go backwards and leave, because they themselves were officers and soldiers who were to support the operation, and they themselves had experienced a certain amount of combat training.
The Qin officers and soldiers on the city wall quickly dispersed the defenders of the Hanzhong Army at the back gate of the city gate, and after a period of operation, the city gate was slowly opened. The Qin officers and soldiers outside the city quickly rushed into Nanzheng City from the ladder cart or the open city gate.
Zhang Jiashi received the news and was not happy that it was fake. But he himself had a doubt, that is, how could the Hanzhong army feel more forbidden to fight than those peasant armies?
It's just that before Zhang Jiashi could think carefully about this aspect, a five-hundred-hundred-year-old master covered in blood was supported in front of him by several personal guards.
"What happened?"
Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but express his doubts.
He would not have thought that the five hundred lords had come out of the city, and he had not seen a large number of wounded soldiers pass through the passage under his mountain, but had been transported directly back to the camp from a farther road for treatment.
The five hundred lords couldn't help but cry loudly: "The rear army was attacked, more than 10,000 Han Chinese troops raided the rear army, and General Mengwu ordered his subordinates to desperately break through the siege and ask for help!!"
"Ah?!!" Zhang Jiashi was dumbfounded, because he really didn't expect such a situation.
And Bai Qi said to him at such a time: "Now you should also think about why those people disappeared......
Bai Qi's words made Zhang Jiashi silent, but he knew it very well. Now was not the time for him to be silent.
He quickly said to Li Zuoche and Sun Po: "Two gentlemen, the battle situation in Nanzheng City will be handed over to the two gentlemen to deal with." Lonely ......"
"Personally lead a force to rescue my father-in-law!"
After saying this, Zhang Jiashi did not stay where he was waiting for Sun Po and Li Zuoche's reply, but quickly left the hill they used to watch the battle.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Time goes back to when Zhang Jiashi had just begun to launch an offensive against Nanzheng.
Meng Wuzheng was in his tent, drinking some of the decoction that the medical workers had made for him.
Meng Wu knew that these pills could only make his condition slightly lighter and make him less painful. But these decoctions wanted to cure his patients. It's impossible.
He knew this very well.
But what he didn't expect was that his rear army would actually encounter an enemy attack.
......
Meng Xing in the early morning. Once again, the officers and soldiers under his command rushed to a mountain about five miles northwest of the rear army where Meng Wu was located.
At such a distance, it is still a little difficult for these more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to raid each other.
But Meng Xing is not the kind of military idiot who doesn't understand anything, on the contrary, his uncle Meng Tian once praised his ability in this regard, even better than his cousin Meng Guang.
But when Meng Xing asked Meng Tian who was superior and who was inferior compared to his uncle Zhang Jiashi. Meng Tian was silent for a long time before saying a word to him:
"You are an excellent handsome talent at best, and you can't be a king. But your uncle is different, and the other party's ability may be an ordinary handsome talent in this regard, but the other party can become an excellent king. β
Meng Tian's words are obviously a big rebellion, but Meng Xing and his cousin Meng Guang. I don't think my uncle or father said anything wrong.
Although they themselves have not seen Zhang Jiashi, they have also heard of the importance that the First Emperor attaches to Zhang Jiashi.
After all, it's like the kind of thing that broke into Xianyang Palace, don't talk about them, even Hu Hai at that time, they didn't dare to do it.
Zhang Jiashi did not die under the knife. It was already an action of the First Emperor that surprised the world.
Meng Xing can get such an evaluation from Meng Tian, which has shown that Meng Xing is indeed very talented in this regard.
For Meng Xing, how to raid Zhang Jiashi's rear army camp was not a problem.
All he needed was a little time and luck.
......
The luck of Meng Xing and the thousands of Hanzhong officers and soldiers he personally led was indeed good. Because the rear army's camp was in the battle arrangement of the front line, the scout troops that should have been sent to reconnoiter the surrounding area were relaxed.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Meng Xing to besiege Meng Wu's rear army.
But no matter what, when Meng Xing officially ordered to sever the connection between Meng Wu's rear army and the main force where Zhang Jiashi was located. Meng Wu's fate has already laid the fate that he didn't need to face.
......
After Meng Wu drank the medicine, he rested a little again.
However, shortly after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of shouts of murder coming from all around him.
"What's going on!"
Meng Wu couldn't help but shout out this sentence loudly from the bed.
Hearing the shouts and screams of this scale, Meng Wu, who had been in battle for a long time, naturally quickly knew what was going on.
The reason why he shouted this sentence was mainly that he had never heard of it, and it was impossible to think that Zhang Jiashi's main force would be defeated in the event of a rout, and even they didn't know what was going on.
The pro-soldier officers under the command of Meng Wu quickly ran outside to find out what was going on.
But the news that this pro-soldier officer brought to Meng Wu made Meng Wu sigh in the sky.
That is the rear army unit where they were, besieged by the main forces of the enemy.
Meng Wu knew very well that the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers in the future would not be able to support it for too long.
This is because the officers and men themselves are more of a baggage unit and logistics personnel, and their combat effectiveness is not high.
Meng Wu quickly made a decision, he asked his personal guards to find a five hundred lord, and personally ordered him: "You immediately mobilize your own officers and soldiers." Break through the enemy's siege and ask the king for help!"
"But the general, the officers and soldiers under his command are the most combat-ready troops in the camp!"
The 500 lord knew very well that the officers and men under his command were indeed personnel in the rear army who could be regarded as regular combat units, and the combat effectiveness of the other rear officers and men was not high. If he also leads these people to break through......
How long the post-military barracks will be able to hold out, only God knows.
"Nonsense. I don't know about this situation, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers under your command, there would be a possibility of breaking through. The old man needs to take such an adventure?"
I have to say that Meng Wu's idea is also quite reasonable.
This five hundred lord can only take the command.
......
"Kill !!"
With more than 20 knights taking the lead, the Hanzhong army that besieged the rear army camp quickly tore a gap.
Dozens of chariots and hundreds of infantry rushed out, quickly following these knights and rushing south.
After the encirclement of the Hanzhong army widened a gap more than ten meters wide, this five hundred lord personally led more than fifty knights and quickly rushed south.
Of course, Meng Xing saw this situation, and even personally led people to block the road of the five hundred lords going south.
But what he didn't expect was that these rushed out to maintain the gap. None of the Qin officers and soldiers who fought to the death with the Hanzhong army would retreat at all.
And the strength of those knights is not too weak, especially the five hundred masters, who were even more injured in several places and were able to directly stab his war horse to death, so he led the remaining knights to continue to break through.
Meng Xing wanted to hunt down these knights who were still surrounded, but another group of Qin officers and soldiers rushed out to support again, along with the remaining officers and soldiers. Struggled to resist the encirclement attack of the Hanzhong army.
This had to distract Meng Xing a little.
What Meng Xing didn't expect was that it was because of his distraction that the five hundred lords of the Qin army and the two remaining knights of the Qin army quickly rushed out of the encirclement.
Meng Xing, who knew that he could not catch up with the other party, looked at the smoke of the beacon fire rising from the rear military barracks, and also knew that he had continued to fight. Because the other side is completely able to resist them until the reinforcements arrive.
Meng Wu personally led a group of personal guards and some logistics officers and soldiers. Support the breakthrough of the 500 Lords.
Although it was because of his physical injuries and illness, his strength was still not to be underestimated, and the iron Changge in his hand killed dozens of Hanzhong officers and soldiers in less than a few minutes.
But Meng Wu knew very well that his body could not withstand this intensity of combat.
Meng Xing soon discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Qin officers and soldiers who had been sent for reinforcement was even inferior to that of the first batch of officers and soldiers on the whole, so he ordered his officers and soldiers to intensify their attacks on this army.
If Meng Xing was close to Meng Wu. And with your own mounts, maybe nothing will happen again.
However, the current Mengxing is also waiting for the results of the officers and soldiers under his command.
......
Beads of sweat oozed from Meng Wu's forehead, and he felt that his internal strength was running a lot of times, and he knew that he shouldn't have gone to the battlefield to fight for a long time.
But for him, he may die in this place, but he himself will not regret anything. Because this may be his fate as a soldier.
A soldier of the Hanzhong Army took advantage of Meng Wu's encirclement and quickly found an opportunity to stab the blade of Changge in his hand into Meng Wu's waist.
Meng Wu was in pain, and the armor-piercing cone at the end of the iron Changge in his hand pierced the throat of this Hanzhong soldier.
However, before Meng Wu could draw his weapons, more and more weapons pierced into Meng Wu's body......
Meng Xing saw the appearance of this Qin army general with a somewhat gray beard, and it seemed very familiar.
He couldn't help but think of the possibility that this person was his grandfather Meng Wu.
Before he could confirm his thoughts in his heart, Meng Wu's body had already pierced into the blades of more than ten long weapons.
Meng Wu shouted, and with the last of his strength, he swept the Changge in his hand towards the dozen Hanzhong officers and soldiers beside him.
He knew that these people would not survive anymore, and he would not live long......
However, after Meng Wu saw the face of the little guy he wanted to see at the end, he knew that the sky seemed to be fooling him......
And Meng Xing also looked at Meng Wu at this time, and he shook his head in disbelief, because he didn't expect that his grandfather would actually die at his hands indirectly.
Meng Wu saw Meng Xing's reaction, and also thought of such a thing, which was unacceptable to everyone else, and he wanted to comfort his grandson, but he found that his own strength seemed to be completely exhausted......
Meng Wu showed a wry smile, and then directly spurted out a mouthful of jet-black blood......
Meng Wu lowered his head slightly, and then his body stood on the ground like a stone statue, and he didn't move again.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
What Zhang Jiashi brought was the knights and chariot troops that he could mobilize to the maximum.
These troops rushed to the periphery of the Houjun barracks and dispersed the assault troops of the Hanzhong Army, which were considered to have lost their command, what Zhang Jiashi saw was that a ten-year-old young general was kneeling in front of his father-in-law Meng Wu, who was already dead with weapons on his head......
He thought of a possibility, that is, this person could not be one of Meng Wu's grandsons.
He asked Yu Yong to go up to see what was going on, but what he saw was that the young general, he didn't seem to react to Yu Yong's arrival.
Yu Yong knows that the other party is not dead, but I am afraid that the other party's heart is dead.
Zhang Jiashi also found out about such a situation, and shook his head at Yu Yong: "Stun him, maybe there is still salvation." β
Yu Yong nodded, and slashed the side of Meng Xing's neck with one hand......
Zhang Jiashi looked at Meng Wu's body, ignoring that the dirty blood on the ground was not flowing clean, he knelt on the ground, and then respectfully kowtowed to Meng Wu's body.
Meng Wu is his cheap father-in-law, Zhang Jiashi bows down to him, not because of this, but because he knows that he is also one of the murderers who killed Meng Wu.
He was too careless. There are few survivors of thousands of post-military officers and soldiers, and Mengwu was even more defeated and killed......
It's all his fault......
And Cao Shen, who was behind Zhang Jiashi, sighed secretly in his heart, and then followed Zhang Jiashi to bow down to Meng Wu......
He knew that Zhang Jiashi was guilty, but Zhang Jiashi's guilt only needed to be known by him alone, it was enough...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
