Chapter 118: The End of the Liaodong Army
There was no suspense, the Liaodong army was defeated.
After being defeated and almost without resistance, Chang Sen broke through the camp of the Chinese army commander and captured Yang Wen.
In this battle, the Qi Wangfu lost less than 6,000 soldiers, but killed more than 12,000 enemies, captured about 20,000 people, and surrendered 30,000 soldiers.
Such a suspenseful war is not because the Liaodong Army is vulnerable, but because there are too many mistakes and Zhu Huan's foreshadowing effect in the early stage.
Yang Wen's policy made him destined to lose the morale of the army in Liaodong. The Liaodong Army has always been an invincible and invincible army, but he does not have the ability to lead the Liaodong Army to win battles, which makes a group of soldiers begin to be unconvinced - we have been winning battles before, but after you took the position, we have not won once, which shows that the problem is not ours, in you, you are not worthy of virtue.
In the face of this situation, Yang Wen could only use the means of "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die" to suppress the generals who disobey him and promote the generals who please him. In this way, he obtained a group of troops loyal to him, that is, the Dingliao Five Guards. This did resolve the issue for a short time, cementing his position as chief officer.
But what about in the long run?
Most of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army who refused to obey him were Geng Bingwen's old department and Wu Gao's old department, which were all victorious divisions with great military achievements, and Yang Wen could not sweep these people away in one breath, so he could only cut the flesh with a blunt knife, which was equivalent to laying the root of the Liaodong Army.
In the previous battle, the five guards of Dingliao lost two guards, which greatly reduced Yang Wen's right to speak. And the fiasco of this battle completely aroused the Liaodong Army's resistance to Yang Wen. Chang Sen's subordinate Yongning Wei was only 6,000, but he was able to capture and incorporate nearly 40,000 Liaodong troops with a loss of 1,000, which is the best proof.
And when it came to the last battle, the Liaodong Army led by Chang Sen played a great role.
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): Huh? Aren't you my brother, why did you stand on King Qi's side?
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): What a coincidence, it's a long story, but in a word, I was captured.
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): If you were captured, you surrendered directly? I remember you're not that kind of person!
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): No, I was captured by my own family.
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): ......?
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): It is Pei Feibai, the central guard of Guangning, and Song Yuanlang, the guard of Ningyuan, I led my troops to rush to the aid of Guanwai, and met them, they and I pretended to greet each other, but in fact, these two people have surrendered to the side of King Qi, and I was tied up before I could react.
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): So does this have anything to do with your surrender to King Qi's side?
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): Of course it has a relationship, they said that they wanted to beat Yang Wen's grandson, and I had already seen it unpleasant, so I surrendered directly to the side of Qi Wangfu.
Demon Museum
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): Beautiful!
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): Otherwise, let's stop fighting, you just surrender.
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): What do you want to do, my Liaodong Army has no soldiers who surrendered!
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): Can't you follow us to fight Yang Wen?
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): Gollum (swallowing saliva), I surrender now, wouldn't it be immoral?
Liaodong Army B (Qi Wangfu Department): What kind of bullshit morality, go, follow me to kill Yang Wen!
Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu): Kill his mother's Yang Wen!
And then...... Liaodong Army A (Yang Wenbu) became Liaodong Army A (Qi Wangfu Department).
Zhu Huan sent troops to constantly harass the Liaodong Army, which greatly reduced the combat strength of the Liaodong Army. A soldier who hasn't even woken up from sleep can cut people?
And the straw that really crushed the Liaodong Army was made by Yang Wen himself.
His strategic vision told him that if he seized Shanhaiguan, there would be a glimmer of life. The idea is wonderful, but the reality is cruel.
Yang Wen not only didn't get the Shanhaiguan he wanted, but also drove Lu Yu, who had always been neutral, crazy, and pushed Shanhaiwei down on the side of King Qi's mansion. In this battle, the soldiers of Shanhaiwei were as bloody as chickens, and they were desperate because of the flames of revenge, and more than 12,000 enemies were killed in this battle, of which 8,000 were contributed by Shanhaiwei.
Yang Wen is a fierce general, but he is not a good handsome.
He was able to go all the way from a partial general to the position of the chief military officer of Liaodong, except for luck, he must also have strength. In terms of fighting to the death, Yang Wen is an outstanding person, but he is not suitable for being in charge.
The reason why Yang Wen was able to command 100,000 troops was that luck was an indispensable part.
The situation caused by the "Hu Lan Prison" pushed him to the pinnacle of the times. After putting down two rebellions in the south, he began to be appreciated and promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang. Before his death, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed him as the commander-in-chief of Beiping, and was ordered to assist Zhu Di, the king of Zuoyan, to guard the north.
After the outbreak of the Battle of Jingyan, Liaodong's strategic position jumped up. Geng Bingwen and Wu Gao, the two Liaodong coaches, left one after another, leaving Liaodong in a dilemma where there was no commander to hang on. Good generals are easy to get, good handsomeness is hard to find, handsome people are not cabbage, Liaodong Army is under Jianwen Huohuo, those who can be in command can go, and they are wasted.
In desperation, Jianwen could only appoint Yang Wen, who had considerable military achievements, to guard Liaodong, and Yang Wen became the first Liaodong commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Yang Wen has fallen to this point today can be said that it is Lao Zhu's repeated imprisonment that makes the Ming generals empty and makes Yang Wen stand at a height that he should not have.
Coupled with Jianwen's miscalculations, Liaodong, which could have swept the world, ended in tragedy. In the final analysis, this pot is still on Jianwen - the feudal domain cannot be cut, and the army is defeated.
"Little people" see "big history", this is a sad era, because of Lao Zhu's slaughter, the stars fell like meteor showers, so that the heroes of this era fell into a state of poverty, and let some incapable people sit in positions that do not belong to them.
However, heroes cannot be killed.
Powerful heroes resonate with other heroes, and in this era, the two most dazzling stars, one named Yan and the other named Qi.
Jianwen, Geng Bingwen, Sheng Yong, Tie Xian...... They have all been reduced to the background board of the starry sky, and the meaning of their existence is to highlight the two stars more dazzling.
Come on, dazzling times!
Come on, the age of the stars!
Come on, Age of Heroes!
Whether it is Zhu Di, the king of Yan, or Zhu Huan, the king of Qi, they have already shown enough wings, but the sky is only so big that there is no room for two eagles that cover the sky and the sun!
Go ahead and make waves in the long history!
Go ahead and chase the supreme position!
The position called "Emperor" left only one empty seat!
The wind swept through the snow, and two bright flags moved in the wind - Qi and Yan!
Jin Ge Iron Horse, drinking blood and singing, this is your own era!
