Chapter 141: Saving Land and Losing People Everyone and Land are lost

In the Shaoyang Courtyard, Nangong Ping and Luo Bing frowned, looking at the battle situation on the chessboard and were silent. Wu Gen and Hu Jia couldn't see each other's movements clearly, but for the two court masters, from the beginning of the battle, the movements of both sides were unobstructed.

From the perspective of the two of them, Hu Jia's use of troops is quite orthodox, which is also consistent with the teaching objectives of the two colleges, and there is nothing beyond reproach. On the other hand, Wu Gan operated indiscriminately from the very beginning, leaving the Yihu soldiers alone as an army, ignoring the safety of his own infantry and attacking in all directions.

When the war was scorching, he abandoned the capital and the country, but the main force was running around, almost inviting Hu Jia to the country, causing the capital to fall and the king to be arrested. It is said that at this time, a country has lost its combat strength, and its defeat should be decided.

But seeing that his people took advantage of Hu Jia's lack of domestic troops, raised troops to fight in other countries, and moved down several times, they actually cut Hu Jia's originally thick ground troops one by one and trapped them in one city after another, and the two understood Wu Gan's thoughts.

"If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If you lose your land, you will gain it, and you are right to think about it." Nangong Ping let out a long sigh, "But this person must not be a general of a country, otherwise he would have been beheaded by the imperial court." There is no such thing as ignoring the king, and this will not be tolerated in any country."

Luo Bing stretched his waist, "It's just a chess game, why take it seriously."

Nangong Ping glanced at Luo Bing meaningfully, "Chess can also see character."

Luo Bing pursed his lips, but for the first time, he did not refute.

Back in the chessboard, Hu Jia looked at the empty Huguan and the wreckage of his own soldiers, and just wanted to jump out of the chessboard and ask Wu Gan, such a big city said to throw it away, is there such a way to play. cao

Even if it's a game, you have to think about the reality of the world. In this way, the emperor will still trust you, and he will put so many soldiers and horses in your hands, I am afraid that he has already entered Beijing and is waiting to be killed.

There was no way, so he had to leave some men and horses to garrison Huguan, and he personally led the army to Wu Gan to find his main force, and at the same time rescued his own garrison.

The soldiers and horses went out to search for a long time, and Wu Gan's army disappeared as if they were missing. In desperation, Hu Jia had no choice but to lead his army through the vast mountains and carefully explore the route along which Wu Gan had attacked his own house.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Hu Jia finally understood what he had given up when he first set up chess, since the two sides had equal forces, and Wu Gan had chosen such a large number of volunteer soldiers.

What was given up was heavy cavalry, which was a complete abandonment of ground maneuvers to form an air cavalry. It is really bold to use soldiers in this way.

Heavy riding in the mountains, the steps are difficult, and the damage is very heavy. In desperation, Hu Jia had no choice but to withdraw the heavy cavalry, leaving only the foot soldiers to continue to move forward, and the original heavy force was weakened by two.

When he got out of the endless mountains, Hu Jia was greeted with bad news, Wu Gan surrounded his own capital and fought the capital.

Hu Jia didn't understand that Wu Jian didn't lead the army back to China at all, but kept secretly hiding in his own country. Looking at the demoralized soldiers, Hu Jia almost wanted to look up to the sky and shout, Wu Gan, you really treat the enemy country as your own home.

At this time, he rushed back to the country to support, and the people were sleepy and tired, and he responded to the enemy with tired soldiers, which violated the art of war. I wanted to be like Wu Gen and simply give up the national capital, but after hesitating again and again, it was difficult to make up my mind.

Since childhood, he has been in the Songtao School Palace, and studied in Shaoyang Academy, along the way, loyalty and patriotism have always been an iron law that cannot be violated, and it has been deeply imprinted in the bones. Losing the king and losing the country, Hu Jia sighed, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, pressed his troubled thoughts, and urged the army to return to the country.

It is difficult for Hu Jia, and it is not easy for Wu Gan.

From the very beginning, he had the idea of killing and injuring the other party's living force, and he did not care about the gains and losses of one city or one pool. Therefore, he almost gave up half of the defense in the country, concentrated on pulling and cutting Hu Jia's heavy army, and attacked the opponent's grain and baggage everywhere, causing him to lose blood, cut off his hand, and be blind little by little.

Judging from the current situation, this goal has been achieved. Hu Jia's army was scattered in two countries, with soldiers everywhere and lacking troops everywhere, and its mobile forces were not many to fight. The battle has finally reached the final battle.

However, Wu Jian found that since he ignored the instructions of the country to urge the defense of the capital, resulting in the fall of the national capital, the morale of his own soldiers plummeted and deserted

It is increasing day by day, and nearly thirty percent of the troops are missing. I knew in my heart that although this was due to the rules of war chess, it was almost the same in the present world.

The country has fallen, the homeland has been lost, and the family is running around to fight in other countries, how can the morale be high. Replaced by Wu Gen himself, he had already slipped away and ran home to see the safety of his relatives.

In desperation, Wu Gen had no choice but to turn around and advance towards the capital of the other country, on the one hand, to boost the morale of the other side, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to undermine the confidence of Hu Jia's soldiers.

Looking at Hu Jia again, after discarding most of the baggage, he finally rushed back to China, and if he advanced another three hundred miles, he could see the national capital.

Along the way, Wu Gan's righteous eagle soldiers followed him like a shadow, attacking day and night. Looking at the opponent's posture, he actually has the attitude of a mourning soldier, and he is much braver than in the past. Such a fierce attack, coupled with the increasing number of scouts returning to China, convinced Hu Jia that Wu Jian really wanted to take his own capital.

After all, the rules are there, and when the land has been lost, Hu Jia does not believe that Wu Gan's army can hold on forever.

In front of him is a wide paddy field, and his own capital city stands on this place of four wars, except for a hill thirty miles east of the city, which can hardly be defended. Hu Jia secretly complained to himself, which family would choose the national capital here, except for the abundant products and convenient transportation, there are almost no advantages at all.

But he didn't want to think that any country would choose to be in a poor ravine.

The national capital is a place where the essence of a country is gathered, with a large population, a prosperous economy, and a prosperous culture and education.

The urgent military snowflakes in front of him flew in, and Hu Jia was originally afraid that Wu Gan would set up an ambush halfway, but at this time, he could no longer hold it back, and urged the military horses to move forward with all their might. Dead or alive, victorious or defeated, it's just a matter of the city.

In the distance, next to the national capital, the top of the hill has appeared on the horizon, and the black smoke rising from the sky in the city is everywhere, which is a signal that the national capital is warning of danger. Hu Jia calmed down at this time, and even let his subordinates rest for a day before heading towards the national capital.

How can a fortified city be defeated so quickly. The soldiers and horses of their own soldiers and horses marched thousands of miles, and they were already exhausted and strong. The so-called decline of the wind, no hair, at this time the past is just a gift to the head.

To Hu Jia's curiosity, where had the Vigilantes who had been hovering overhead, gone.

At the foot of the mountain, a military village appeared around the nameless hill, and Wu Gan stationed a lot of military horses here, which should be to block his own reinforcements. When the battle comes to this, what kind of ingenuity is there, let's fight.

Hu Jia ordered to make every effort to break through the village and clear the threat from his flank. The first soldiers, who were good at attacking the city, were the first to storm and try to tear a gap, but the elephant fighters quickly followed, and after the first climbed broke through the enemy's position, they swarmed in.

In ground combat, Hu Jia is not afraid of opponents, although the strength in his hands at this time is less than fifty percent of what he was in his heyday, and there is less heavy cavalry charge, but Hu Jia believes that in this way, his ground strength is still stronger than his opponent. Moreover, the side has come to expel the invaders, and the morale is strong, and it is categorically not going to lose to the other side.

But when the fight started, Hu Jia found out that there were so many troops hidden in the other party's stockade, and they were going forward and successively, regardless of sacrifice, and they wanted to defend this place to the death.

Under the dense rain of arrows, the first soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the troops behind were crowded together and could not move forward. This military fortress is not large, it can only accommodate 1,000 people in front of the wall, and no matter how many troops can be deployed, it can only be a continuous attack in the form of adding oil.

Although it was a temporary wooden military village, this bone was not easy to gnaw on for Hu Jia, who lacked righteous eagles and heavy horses. Watching the chess pieces on the chessboard disappear one by one, Hu Jia was anxious.

Bypassing this place and attacking the enemy army directly under the city is equivalent to giving up one's back to others, and if the enemy army under the city attacks with it, oneself will have to fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back.

If you don't get around, looking at the posture in this village, Hu Jia will know with a little calculation that more than forty percent of Wu Gan's troops are thrown here, where can they be taken down in a short time.

From this point of view, the other party is not thinking about taking the opportunity to consume his own strength, but really wants to conquer his own national capital. I didn't expect Wu Gen to be so ruthless, and he didn't care about the safety of these four adults. But only sixty percent of the people are left, can they conquer the national capital?

The art of war has clouds, down

Attacking the city is the most unavoidable way. Prepare the equipment for the siege of the city, pile up the siege soil mountain, and the soldiers and ants attach to the city, without ten times the number of troops, who dares to speak of attacking the city.

Wu Gen put so many troops here to block it, and he couldn't attack the city over there, not what is the way to die.

In doubt, Hu Jia disregarded the casualties, and pulled out the nail first, and then said that his own capital should be able to hold up.

After a day of fierce fighting, they finally broke through the defenders' defense line and climbed up the mountain. Although the capital was besieged, it was impossible to know the news of the city, but at least the city was not broken.

If it is stable, as long as this stockade is taken, Wu Gan will no longer be able to compete with the army under the loss of his troops. Forty percent of the troops were annihilated, which can almost be said to be a rout for an army, and it can even be said that it is not an exaggeration to surrender.

Hu Jiazhi was complacent, hitting the block, hum, is there such a good way to block. In this flat place in the national capital, there is only one place that can barely be called a dangerous place, and there is no geographical advantage, if you want to stop it, you can only deploy a considerable number of people, and use people as a dangerous place.

His own troops have lost a lot, but Wu Gen is less, fighting in other countries, there is no Austrian aid around, fighting all the way, not to mention how many people died in battle, just deserters are enough to drink a pot.

Seeing that his soldiers and horses were approaching the top of the mountain, Hu Jia looked at the direction of the national capital with some expectation. The walls of that great city were twenty feet high, almost half the size of the hill in front of it. I don't know what method he used to cross the thick city wall. When you conquer the mountain, you will have an unobstructed view.

At this time, Hu Jia was a little surprised to find that his soldiers and horses who were close to the top of the mountain were suddenly a little chaotic, and the morale of the defenders on the top of the mountain was obviously much higher.

Soon, a black oppressive Righteous Eagle appeared in the sky, and it swooped down like a dark cloud. Countless raindrops fell from the dark clouds, which were patches of arrows.

Why did the Yihu soldiers appear here at this time, could it be that they had to rely on these to block themselves, Hu Jia turned his head and looked in the direction of the national capital, and the wolf smoke that rushed to the sky had disappeared.

Hu Jia's heart was in a trance, the city was defended, or ......

Feeling the morale of his own soldiers and horses, Hu Jia's face turned pale. As a chess player, he naturally knows that his morale has dropped sharply, and what is the change in this, naturally the country has been lost.

Oh my God, how can it be so fast, the impregnable high walls, the forest of city guarding equipment on the city walls, could it be that they are all decorations.

Soon, Hu Jia's vision appeared a team of elephant warriors, this is a heavily armored foot soldier, protecting the crossbowmen behind him to pounce on him, although there are not many of them, but the morale is high, with the righteous eagles in the sky, like a sharp knife into his own military situation.

The enemy army on the hill was also attacking downward, and under the two flanks, after a while, the army gradually collapsed.

Looking at the rounds of righteous eagle soldiers, Hu Jia sighed, this battle was defeated.
