Chapter 60: Bear Soldier Bear General
After several days of failure, contradictions broke out within the rebels.
That Han Sui angrily broke into Bian Zhang's big tent, "General Bian, you haven't listened to me for a long time, what's the use of tackling key problems now?" ”
"Most of us are cavalry, and the plain charge is powerful, but there is really no way to siege the city, you are sacrificing the lives of our soldiers in vain."
Bian Zhang himself was also a tyrannical, and he slapped the table and roared, "Han Sui, let me tell you, the army has been listening to you, advance to Luoyang as soon as possible." ”
"You didn't think about being stopped beforehand, and now you are blaming me?"
"I'm not easy to bully, it's a big deal, let's break up in two and don't bury me here."
Seeing this, Han Sui was afraid that the situation would not be able to be controlled, so he sighed lightly and said, "How can I blame General Bian, I'm just in a hurry, so I'm a little excited in my words." ”
"You can't get angry at me if you're in a hurry, aren't I in a hurry."
Han Sui knew that if he continued to quarrel like this, it would be endless, so he lowered his tone and said, "I'll apologize to General Bian first, forget about this matter, let's talk about business." ”
"The front is blocked today, and the rear is approaching our army again, and tomorrow I will attack another day."
"If it really doesn't work, it's time for us to think about retreating."
Bian Zhang didn't have any objections to Han Sui's suggestion, but they didn't have the feelings of friends for each other for many years.
The next day, the rebels attacked Hangu Pass on a large scale, and there was a river in front of the pass, and the rebels had to cross the river first, but after crossing the river, the terrain was narrow and could not be formed.
After attacking continuously for five hours from the morning, they tried to use the tactics of a sea of people to build a ladder to storm the Hangu Pass.
This is undoubtedly thinking too much, and the Six Kingdoms were unable to break through this moat at the beginning.
The crossbows on the gate continued to fire volleys, and the rebels could not even lift the ladder in front of the pass, and they fell one after another.
The corpses of the soldiers were stacked more than a meter high outside the gate, and the blood left behind was gathered into puddles.
Seeing that they really couldn't take it, Bian Zhang and Han Sui could only order the troops to retreat, and they didn't even want a cloud ladder or anything.
Sun Ming already felt that the time had come to completely annihilate the rebels, and if he didn't attack the rebels, he would run away.
Then let the sentry go out with the letter, and agreed to surround and annihilate the rebels late this night.
At this time, the rebel side was indeed in a bad state.
They were rebels, there was no backup force at all, and in the past few days, they have lost more than 5,000 people, and there is a risk of being surrounded and annihilated.
Along the way, everything that could be grabbed and eaten nearby was eaten by the rebels, and Han Sui saw that there was no way.
I found Bian Zhang again, "General Bian, now we don't have much food and grass." ”
"Entering Luoyang, the eunuch is already an empty word, I think we should take advantage of the retreat and go back to Jincheng, no matter how late it is, we won't be able to leave."
At this time, Bian Zhang also had the idea of retreating, so he discussed with Han Sui, "Now I will wait for the retreat, and the Han army in Hangu Pass will definitely catch up, what should I do?" ”
Han Sui is indeed much more intelligent than Bian Zhang, "We can pretend to continue the attack, the Han army will not dare to go out, and we will secretly retreat tonight." ”
"Then you can retreat safely."
Bian Zhangranqi said, so he ordered a small number of people to pretend to cross the river by the river to deceive Sun Ming.
In fact, the rebels have quietly packed up their military supplies and will retreat late tonight.
Sima Tong had been observing the movements of the enemy army at the gate, and watched some scattered rebels walking around on the other side of the river, but they did not pass the river.
Coupled with the news reported by the spies, Sima Tong concluded that the rebels were going to run.
He immediately ran back to the big tent to explain the situation to Sun Ming, and after thinking for a while, Sun Ming decided to change the general attack late tonight to Shen Shi.
This attack was half a day in advance, and it did catch the rebels.
Sun Ming's army quickly crossed the river and approached the rebel camp, where the rebels were cooking their last meal when Sun Ming's attack disrupted their deployment.
The rebels knew that they were going to retreat later, and everyone lost the confidence to fight.
Zhang and Han Sui were also taken aback, and in a panic they ordered the whole army to give up their baggage and retreat with all their might.
Zhao Yun, Han Zhong, and led their troops straight to the enemy camp, and the rebels had just left the camp at this time, and even the food on the stove was still burning.
The two generals glanced at the enemy camp, and did not miss the baggage, but continued to chase the rebels with their men and horses.
At this time, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian had already come to the rear of the rebels, and they had a total of more than 10,000 people, and intercepting the rebels was a fight.
But the 10,000 people who were missing He Jin were small in number after all, and they couldn't contain the rebels, leaving all the remaining infantry of the rebels.
The remaining seven or eight thousand cavalry rushed over and let them run.
By the time Zhao Yun and Han Zhong arrived, the rebels' cavalry had already run away.
When the news came back to Sun Ming's account, Sun Ming was furious, and his good plan was dragged back by He Jin's idiot.
And He Jin's strange behavior is not only that, when the news of the rebel defeat reached the ears of He Jin in Meiyang City.
He began to fidget again, this time he had no success in suppressing the thief, only one small defeat.
originally wanted to suppress Sun Ming, but now he has become the one who is suppressed.
His advisors saw He Jin's worries and gave him a bad idea.
"General, if you return to Jingluo like this, then Sun Ming will be the first meritorious, and the general, you will not have an inch of merit, and you will have to bear the charge of incompetence on the battlefield and passive fighting."
"Now that the rebels are defeated, they must pass above us. They were all tired and defeated troops, and with the power of a general, they wiped out this group of rebels. ”
"Isn't it wonderful that not only does this not have to bear the responsibility for the crime, but also has great merit to fight?"
He Jin was overjoyed after hearing this, but also ignored an important fact.
As the saying goes, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears.
The 9,000 Xiliang cavalry that fled is not something that you, General Xiong Bao, can beat with 10,000 bear soldiers.
At this time, He Jin wanted to make meritorious service and wanted to go crazy, completely forgetting the fact that he was hiding here.
At the sound of the order, the whole army gave up all heavy weapons and baggage, and marched quickly to block the retreat of the rebels.
Over there, Zhang saw that there was another Han army blocking the road in front of him, so he asked the herald to inform the whole army, and if we rushed over, we could go home, and if we couldn't rush over, we would die.
Encouraged by the desire to survive and return home, the rebels once again rekindled their morale.
As soon as the two armies clashed, He Jin's army was as vulnerable as paper and collapsed as soon as it rushed.
At this time, He Jinjun had been marching for more than two hours, exhausted, and most of the generals were relatives and friends of He Jin's family.
How could such an army be combat-ready.
Seeing that this Han army was weak, the rebels vented their previous anger on them, and then walked away.
He Jin's 10,000 men not only failed to stop the rebels, but were also beaten to the point that they lost their armor and fled in all directions.
In the end, the remnants of the army were gathered and only 3,000 men remained.
This battle succeeded in defeating all his own army, but it was a pity that He Jin survived.
Now the rebels have withdrawn from Guanzhong and retreated in the direction of Xiliang.
Dong Zhuo and Sun Jianyi combined and decided to pursue.
Hou Lan sent Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, to lead 10,000 men to help.
Sun Ming wanted to pursue together, but Hou Lan wrote a letter and asked him to turn around and clean up the Black Mountain Army on Taihang Mountain.
In the face of Hou Lan's order, Sun Ming naturally had nothing to say, and the next day he gathered his troops and prepared to leave.
Later, He Jin was escorted back to Luoyang because of greed, was stripped of the title of general, and was imprisoned for interrogation.
Under the movement of Empress He, He Jin was released and demoted to an ordinary miscellaneous general.
Just as the barracks were about to start, someone outside the barracks reported that a Luoyang sister-in-law named Hou Yun was looking for Sun Ming.
