Chapter 369: Kuai Liang escaped, leading the way to break through
Wei Yan didn't expect that his shout would actually make Qiao Rui lose his mind on the battlefield, how could he let go of such a good opportunity, the long knife rolled up, and slashed directly at Qiao Rui's neck, and at the corner of his mouth, a touch of disdain quietly rose. ////
Maybe it was years of stability that wiped out Qiao Rui's perception of war, facing Wei Yan's long knife, as if he didn't notice it at all, he fell into contemplation, and when the long knife was added to the neck, Huo Ran realized that he only had time to leave a trace of panic, and then fell into the boundless darkness, behind Qiao Rui, those soldiers were almost stunned by the situation in front of him, although Qiao Rui's martial arts were not first-class, but they would not be much worse, at this time, he didn't make a move under the enemy general, morale, in an instant, dissipated, In addition, these people are more of the Tuntian soldiers who belong to the second echelon, and they are not much lower than Zhuge Jin's elites in terms of fighting will, Zaoyang, just a short time, was completely occupied by Sun Ce.
After that, Sun Ce used Qiao Rui's military talisman to lure out the defenders of Yiyang and Pingchun, and then pretended to be Qiao Rui's subordinates, deceived the city gate, and took advantage of the situation to capture the two places.
However, after Sun Ce integrated Zaoyang, Yiyang, and Pingchun, he promulgated a series of preferential policies to appease the hearts of the people, these places were in the hands of Sun Jian, and the people did not show much resistance to Sun Ce's occupation. At the same time, after the failure of luring Lei Bo, he personally led his troops to Xinye, and the army besieged more than 10,000 guards in Xinye, and three days later, under Sun Ce's attack at any cost, Lei Bo's army suffered 8,000 casualties, and only 2,000 people retreated to Queweipo in embarrassment.
It stands to reason that Queweipo is not far from Xinye, and in such a large-scale confrontation, Zhao Yunbu's guards should not be unaware, but in fact, it is like this. When Sun Jian counterattacked, Fancheng, Dengxian and other places were taken advantage of the situation, and the terrain of Xiangfan was relatively gentle, the official road was vertical and horizontal, and it was the best place to enter Wancheng in the north.
At the beginning of July 214 AD, with the fall of Xinye, after Lei Bo escaped, the news of Sun Ce's mobilization of troops spread immediately, and in the middle of the month, when Zhuge Jin learned the news, Sun Ce's army had captured Xiaqueweipo, facing Anzhong, Anle and other places. In another place, the soldiers led by Sun Jing set out from Pingchun, one attacked Guangzhou along the Huai River, and the other attacked Runan in Yuzhou, and the soldiers of the two armies combined, with a total of 150,000 people, the momentum was so great that people were eye-catching.
After Zhuge Jin learned the news, instead of being surprised, the worry in his heart disappeared inexplicably, yes, Sun Ce on the bright side is much better than being hidden in the shadows all the time, although he was a little surprised by Sun Ce's choice of offensive direction, but he was only more admired in his heart, and he really deserved to be the little overlord of Jiangdong.
In mid-July, Zhuge Jin sent Xun You south to Wancheng, Xun Chen went south to Runan, and with him to the south, there were several generals such as Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and the posture was still strictly guarded, until this time, Sun Ce had dispatched an army, which had increased to 300,000, and on the defense line of Wancheng and Runan, the defenders had also increased to 250,000, and the two sides that were evenly matched suddenly fell into a stalemate.
With the lessons of the south, Zhuge Jin sent the old Cheng Yu to Huang Zhong, the land of Qianghu, at the same time, Xuchang, where it was located, became a temporary command center, and saw a large number of soldiers in and out every day, and constantly had news gathered here, and then dispersed to all parts of the Central Plains, plus the supplies required for logistics, Zhuge Jin was also busy.
During this period of time, the war at Hangu Pass intensified, first Zhuge Liang sent people to attack the city, Sima Yi used a retreat strategy, and burned 3,000 soldiers, and then, in the subsequent siege, Sima Yi used a strong crossbow twice in a row to kill all the people who attacked the city. Subsequently, Zhuge Liang did not show weakness, and used the bed crossbow when Zhuge Jin restored the Qin Dynasty for the siege of the city, if it were not for Sima Yi's instant decision, the gate of Hangu Pass was blocked with gravel, and he was almost attacked into the city by Zhuge Liang, but unfortunately the bed crossbow is very powerful, and the disadvantages are equally prominent.
In the mutual attack, Sima Yi was suspicious that Zhuge Liang intended to lure him out of the city, and he had been focusing on stubbornly defending and suppressing a warlike person, but as everyone knows, such a move happened to Zhuge Liang.
War, although in many cases it is the overall strength, but in some cases, it is the struggle of resourcefulness, and these, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang are not lacking, so it can only be seen whose luck will be better.
Compared with Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang is younger, but the calmness of his body, compared to Sima Yi, is not weak at all, the two attack and defend, one side is strong, one side is weak, it can be said that they are equal, but in terms of generals, Sima Yi is weaker than one, Sima Yi knows this, so he pressed down their requests one by one, and Zhuge Liang also knew this, so he dug a big hole for this Sima Yi's moves, and in every siege battle, different generals will be sent to lead troops to attack the city, really made Sima Yi understand, what is the background?
Guan Yu, Pang De, Yu Ban, Huang Xu, Guan Hai, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Ma Dai and others went into battle again and again under the orders of Zhuge Liang, and their such as Xue Zong, Wang Fang, Fan Chou and others are countless, but Sima Yi can only rely on the support of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, the difference in strength can be seen thoroughly at a glance, Zhuge Liang's actions like this scared Sima Yi in the city, so that since the war, a-for-tat battle has not happened.
Time gradually passed through the middle of July, Zhuge Liang's strategy finally began to implement, after the lead was called by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang let him take half of the army south, after the Lu clan, appeared at the pass of Qingni Pass, Kuai Liang who did not know the situation was just a face-to-face effort, and suffered a big loss. Originally, when bringing troops to help, the total number of soldiers guarding the pass was 40,000, which was already a lot for a Xiongguan dangerous pass, but in the confrontation with Xu Huang for several months, Xu Huang was consumed nearly half.
The Qingni Pass is long and narrow, and the area that can fight at the same time is not much more, which is also one of the reasons why Kuailiang suffered a big loss.
The reinforcements recruited were quietly welcomed into the camp by Xu Huang at night, only slightly corrected, early in the morning of the second day, the soldiers who besieged the city soared from the original 3,000 people to one night in an instant, Kuai Liang greeted him according to his daily practice, but he did not expect that Xu Huang's soldiers seemed to have suddenly eaten some stimulants, just a short face, his men had been killed and wounded nearly half again, Kuai Liang was anxious, almost cried, these soldiers, but the last old man, Now that 20,000 people have suddenly become 10,000, how can you accept such a thing?
Check, check for me, what the hell is going on? Why did Xu Huang suddenly have so many soldiers? Gritting his teeth, if his eyes could kill, Xu Huang would have died many times, but after Kuai Liang's words fell, the soldiers around him did not move at all, and at this time, they were already horrified by the slaughter in front of him.
General, let's withdraw, these manpower can no longer stop Xu Huangjun's charge. Beside Kuailiang, a young man who looked like a young man shouted loudly at Kuailiang, yes, it can't be stopped\u2026\u2026\u2026
It turned out that just when Kuai Liang was in his arms, when the soldier was surprised, there were more and more soldiers attacking the city, and the lead did not seem to have the intention of staying for one more day, ready to strike down, but now the situation, the two of them no longer need to keep their hands, the follow-up soldiers did not stop at all, and they continued to rush towards the city, and then three or five people surrounded Kuai Liang's army, and the war had no suspense at all, as for the other half of the soldiers who rested in the pass, in a panic, Some people followed Kuailiang, while more people surrendered directly on their knees.
Haha\u2026\u2026 Zijing, thanks to you coming this time, my subordinates have almost filled in this pass under our feet, if there are no more reinforcements, so-and-so can only leave himself here. The war went well, Xu Huang seemed to have eaten ginseng fruit, his brows were discounted with joy, and his earlier depressed mood was swept away, and he shouted loudly at the lead move around him.
Gongming has a good reputation, if it weren't for Gongming's more than three months in this time, even if I came, it was just a waste of strength, and it was all thanks to Gongming's work, now that the matter is over, I must rush back as soon as possible, Hangu Pass, only 30,000 soldiers remain, if Sima Yi in the city learns the news, Mr. Military Division will be in danger of the merits of the war, and he is unwilling to swallow it alone, and he is very humble to reduce his relationship as much as possible, and then he is a little anxious and apologizes softly to Xu Huang.
It's just a trick but I don't know it, as soon as I set out, I was noticed by Sima Yi, and after that, Sima Yi opened the closed door of the tiger prison for the first time\u2026\u2026\u2026
