Chapter 511: Before the Bloody War
After dawn, Yang Zheng rode a war horse and stepped on the thick snow.
Last night, more than 10,000 prisoners were taken in one after another.
It has brought a lot of burden to Yang Zheng.
Dry food, wine, and sheep jackets are all insufficient, no matter what Yang Zheng cares about, "Did you catch Sima Zhao, Chen Tai, and Chen Qian?" ”
"Prince, no news has been sent back yet!" The soldiers stood at the post all night, looking tired.
The wind and snow helped him break the enemy, but it also blocked the pursuit of the cavalry.
The snow was so thick that the advantage of the cavalry went by more than half.
However, the advantage is still on their side.
In fact, as long as these eight men and horses follow behind the enemy army, this army will collapse sooner or later.
Fleeing back to Baishui from Huangling, more than a hundred miles, icy and snowy, they lack food and clothing, how many people can escape back?
"Where are Mengyu and Wenyang!"
"The rear army has collapsed, and several generals are now turning to attack the front army!"
Leave the front army, and the few remaining routs of the rear army will not be able to escape.
"Divide 2,000 people and search for the living." Yang Zheng ordered.
A person who is frozen into snow in the snow.
Many people may not know why they are fighting this battle, but they are driven by Shangguan to die step by step.
On the battlefield is the enemy, and there is nothing wrong with doing anything.
Under the battlefield, one person can live.
It's not all out of kindness, it's also for the future of Liangzhou.
Population is the most important resource.
Fortunately, there are more than 800 Wugang cars of Chen Tai, which are dismantled, and the shields, spears, wooden thorns and other things are a ready-made wooden car, and as for the livestock pulling the carts, this is the last thing that the Liangzhou army lacks.
By noon, the snow had completely stopped, and the clouds had disappeared from the sky, revealing the sun.
More and more captives are being searched and rescued.
Many people actually take the initiative to ask for help.
People with frostbite were also brought back.
Bonfires were lit in the camp, and the captives sat in a group, drinking hot porridge.
The injured were also treated.
This action made the captives let down their last bit of vigilance and took the initiative to help light the fire and save people.
However, Yang Zheng did not take off his guard, and the three thousand personal soldiers in his hand always remained on guard.
"General, the army behind the enemy gathered a force of 4,000 men and horses and retreated to the east of Yacheng!"
"Find out who is in charge of the army?"
"The enemy did not show the banner, Jiang and Peng's two subordinates dismounted and fought on foot, but they were all repulsed, and more than 300 people were killed."
Jiang Faye led the Qiang cavalry, and Peng Hu led the Hu cavalry, which was regarded as a soy sauce existence in the pro-army.
The combat effectiveness of the horses is not very strong, let alone the dismount and foot combat.
It's not that Yang Zheng looks down on Qianghu, but the untrained Qianghu, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other departments in this era are indeed inferior to the Han people in terms of combat effectiveness.
In this era, the herdsmen generally lived worse than the Han people, and they were hungry and full all year round, and their physical fitness was generally not good.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been rushed to the Han land.
With 4,000 men, it is useless for a small force to go up, but when a large army goes up, it disperses the attack on the front army.
Yang Zheng has 8,000 men and horses in his hands, but these 8,000 people are used to suppress the formation to avoid unexpected situations in front.
The enemy's former army did not return to the division to rescue, which means that Sima Zhao was not inside.
With an army of 160,000 and a routed army of 4,000, it seems that there is no need to pay too much attention.
Whether they can make it to Yacheng alive or not is a question.
"Scouts just keep an eye on this rout." Yang Zheng devoted his energy to the front army.
Compared with the 80,000 former army and Sima Zhao, these 4,000 defeated troops are insignificant.
"Report to the Marquis, Meng, Wen, Liu, and Erpang have bitten the enemy's front army! Meng Bu led the army to take Whitewater City first! "The scout came with great difficulty on his horse in the snow.
"Good!" Yang Zheng stroked his palms and laughed.
Meng Guan is worthy of being a general he values, and this move basically cut off Sima Zhao's retreat!
His cleverness doesn't stop there, and he deliberately keeps Su Yi so that Sima Zhao will not lose hope.
Sima Zhao's entry into Suyi is like entering a Jedi, Suyi has no danger to defend, and it is a small city, with no grain and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside, called (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 511: Before the Bloody War
You shouldn't call the earth and the earth unspiritual, you can only wait for the Liangzhou army to surround them to death!
That's the purpose of giving the generals what they want.
In a big war of more than 100,000 people, anything can happen, and it is impossible to know what is happening in front of you yourself.
Even if it did, the news would have long since become outdated.
It is better to let the generals decide for themselves.
"Let's go, let's go meet Sima Zhao for a while!" Yang Zheng said.
It's almost time for the big battle to come to an end......
In the snow, the army of 80,000 walked with difficulty, and people kept falling along the way.
There are also people who can't walk anymore and sit directly in the snow.
The robe beside him walked numbly, and no one reached out to pull him.
Only the cavalry approached slowly in the snow, and then slashed down with their swords......
A human head is on a spear.
"Those who retreat from the battle, those who mess with their own positions, and those who flee without permission are all like this!" Cheng Yan Yaowu raised his might.
The Cheng Qi and Cheng Ji brothers are all subordinates of the Sima family.
Relying on military merits to kill all the way, he was favored by Sima Zhao, Cheng Qian was the cavalry governor of the Chinese army, and his younger brother Cheng Ji was the prince of the prince, and he was a hot celebrity in Luoyang in the past two years.
The soldiers were afraid of the might of Cheng and did not dare to flee.
After Chen Qian asked Sima Zhao, he set up the banner of Sima Zhao.
I have to say that whether Sima Zhao is there or not has a great impact on the soldiers.
When the banner was erected, the morale of the Chinese army was obviously restored, and they grabbed the raw corn and wheat and chewed and swallowed it directly in the snow water.
Many of the soldiers had frostbitten hands, but they were wrapped in strips of cloth around their swords and spears.
The Wenyang Department took the lead in attacking from the left flank, but this time the opponent was not Sima Ling, but Chen Qian personally commanded, with a large array of spears and a dignified division.
Without a war horse, Wen Yang's combat power has also dropped by half.
Several raids, but they couldn't break the enemy.
Several other armies were also in vain.
Liu Heng was earnest, wearing heavy armor and carrying a mace, but he was still blocked, and he was hit by two spears.
If it weren't for the cold forging armor, the second general of Liangzhou would have confessed.
The rear army that defeated Chen Tai took advantage of the time of day and the cavalry, but now they are all infantry troops, the Liang army is fierce and hardy, and the Chinese army is overwhelming, and it is difficult to distinguish between them for a while.
Chen Qian's face was a little ugly again, because he had just received the news that Baishui City had been captured by the Liang army.
Without Whitewater City, you can only retreat to Linjin!
Sima Zhao propped up his sick body and poked his head out of the window, "Xiu Yuan, why don't you stay in Suyi for the time being?" ”
Chen Qian gritted his teeth and said: "By all means, the soldiers do not enter the city, they still have the heart to fight to the death, if they enter Suyi and delay for a few days, the soldiers are greedy for comfort and do not dare to fight to the death, when the snow melts and the thieves return to the horse, our army will die!" ”
Sima Zhao nodded, "Then work hard, soldiers, if you can return to Linjin, all the survivors will be rewarded with five acres of fertile land each!" ”
When Jia Chong heard this, he habitually sent sycophants, "Xiangguo is benevolent and righteous, unparalleled in the world!" ”
Others also sang the praises of merit.
Sima Zhao retracted into the car with satisfaction.
After the news spread, all the soldiers were in good spirits.
