Chapter 925 Each uses all means to form a team
When the Dharma is walking. took away five generals who were quite accomplished, including Zhang Yi, Zhang Wei, Meng Shu, Wu Lan, and Lu Kai, which was equivalent to taking away the hope of life. Their march route was to retreat back ten miles first, and then make a detour to Niupi, fifty miles southwest of Yuxian County, from which they went straight to Guangdu, and finally returned from Guangdu to Chengdu.
If you connect the two points of Wuyang and Yuxian into a line on the map, and connect the two points of Niupi and Guangdu into a line, you will find that these two straight lines just form a "×" shape, and the intersection is in the middle of Niupi and Guangdu.
When Tai Shici led the Southern Route Army from Wuyang to Yuxian, it passed through the middle position from Niupi to Guangdu. Now, Fa Zheng wants to break through from here with 50,000 elites dressed as the Yizhou New Army, which is really a mistake.
Although the whereabouts of Fazheng's troops along the way were erratic, they still couldn't escape the eyes of the Shadow Soldiers lurking in this area. However, the Shadow Officers are not omnipotent, they can spot Fa Zheng and the 50,000 Yizhou soldiers behind him, but they don't know which unit of the Eastern Route Army this is.
After receiving the military information sent by the Shadow Members, Tai Shici and Li Ru did not analyze that the 50,000 troops led by Fa Zheng were the elite of the Eastern Route Army. After all, Zhang Ren himself was still in the position of the Chinese army and had not moved, and Fa Zheng originally went to Yiling with 100,000 Yizhou new troops. Tai Shi Ci and Li Ru only thought that Fa Zheng deliberately led 50,000 Yizhou new troops to attract their own attention this time, and wanted to disperse the main force of their own army to rush to Niupi to intercept it, so they sent Wang Lu, a slightly weaker right army, to intercept it.
The right army led by Wang Lu was composed of 20,000 Jiaozhi indigenous soldiers and 10,000 Yizhou soldiers, without the support of the Marine Brigade and the descendants of the Qinghuai Army, but this time it had to face 50,000 of the most ferocious Yizhou elites, which can be described as extremely dangerous.
This time, Tai Shici and Li Ru can't be blamed for their poor analysis, after all, with normal thinking analysis, no one will make the decision to abandon the 70,000 new army like Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng, let alone put the commander in danger of defeat.
In order to buy Fa Zheng more time, Zhang Ren launched an attack on Yu County shortly after Fa Zheng left. Although Zhang Ren's subordinates are actually only 70,000 Yizhou New Army with weak combat effectiveness, he still tried his best to make some arrangements and arrangements, so that the battle against Yuxian County was also organized in a strict and orderly manner, making it difficult for people to see the flaws.
Zhang Ren first asked Yonghong to lead 10,000 men to launch a tentative attack on Yi County, and at the same time ordered Jia Long to lead 20,000 men to feint to the east of Yun County, and he himself led the remaining 40,000 troops to feint to the west of Yi County.
Attacking the garrison of the Southern Route Army in Yuxian is more of a symbolic meaning, and Tai Shici did not really put all the 80,000 troops into the city to sleep peacefully. Yuxian is just a small city, not a fortress guarding the pass and the dangerous place, so it is natural to divide troops to garrison various roads, otherwise it will be impossible to stop Zhang Renjun's separate actions.
Seeing Zhang Renjun acting separately, Tai Shici also immediately mobilized troops to intercept it head-on. Tai Shi Ci ordered Guan Ping to lead 20,000 elite Qinghuai troops to the west to intercept Zhang Ren's 40,000 troops, ordered Gan Ning to lead 10,000 elite marine brigades to intercept Jia Long's 20,000 troops to the east, and himself led 20,000 Yizhou soldiers to defend the county seat.
The 10,000 soldiers who feinted to attack Yun County led by Yong Hong, their combat effectiveness was already weaker than that of the Yizhou veterans in Yi County, and the number was even more at a disadvantage, and it was Tai Shici himself who defended the city, so the siege of the city encountered a strong counterattack from the beginning. Although there are Yizhou soldiers on and off the city, everyone has now parted ways, and the generals at all levels of the defenders in the city are selected from the Jin lineage troops, so Yonghong did not take advantage of it at all, and after paying some casualties, he hurriedly retreated.
Gan Ning, who was responsible for intercepting Jia Long's department, was very vigilant and cautious at first, worried that Jia Long would slip away under his nose, after all, he only had 10,000 troops under his command, and Jia Long's department had 20,000 Yizhou elites. However, as soon as the two armies engaged, Gan Ning found that the troops who ventured to break through did not have much combat effectiveness at all, and they were only better than lambs in front of the soldiers of the Marine Brigade, but they still could not escape the fate of being ravaged at will.
Jia Long, who pretended to break through with 20,000 people, was already a little tired of Zhang Ren in his heart, and had the purpose of being able to stand out the best, and simply surrendering if he couldn't break out, so when he saw Gan Ning rushing towards him with his wolf-like men, he was already frightened, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to hang up the white flag and order the troops to surrender.
In order to deal with Jia Long, Gan Ning was originally ready to work hard, but found that what he caught was just a loach, not a big dragon of Zhang Renjun, so he hurriedly escorted Jia Long and more than 10,000 troops to withdraw towards Yu County.
What is a little interesting is the battle between the 40,000 troops led by Zhang Ren and the Guan Ping army. Because this army was personally led by the commander Zhang Ren, and there were several fierce generals such as Dong Dana and Vulture Gu under his command, the morale of the troops was higher than that of the troops led by Yonghong and Jia Long.
When Zhang Ren found out that Tai Shici had only sent a junior general to lead 20,000 people to stop him, the anger in his heart rose up. This Tai Shi Ci doesn't take him seriously, right?
Zhang Ren first ordered Dong Dana to step forward and call for the battle to Guan Pingjun, but the "Second Master of Xiao Guan" was not ambiguous, carrying a "high simulation" Qinglong Yanyue knife to monopolize Dong Dana, the two generals fought for only 20 rounds, Guan Ping raised the knife and fell to kill Dong Dana under the horse.
Seeing that Dong Dana was beheaded by Guan Ping, he rushed up with two iron slabs in his hand and fought with Guan Ping, but in less than 50 rounds, he was slapped off the horse by Guan Ping with a knife on the back, and was captured alive by the Qinghuai army on the spot.
Guan Ping won a series of victories over Zhang Ren's two generals, but he was still not happy, and shouted to Zhang Ren in the distance in front of the battle: "Is the marshal interested in coming over and having a few tricks with a certain person?" As soon as Guan Ping's words fell, the officers and men of the Qinghuai Army behind him shouted like mountains and rivers, and their morale was even higher.
Zhang Ren knew at this time that Guan Ping, who was blocking the road, was not a good stubble, and he was not sure that he could defeat the other party among the fighting generals, so he ignored Guan Ping's call for battle, and instead commanded the army to charge the Qinghuai army.
The officers and men of the Qinghuai Army, who had been waiting for a long time to behave in front of the army commander, saw Zhang Ren rushing over with a large army, and immediately greeted them in high spirits.
It has been more than five years since the Qinghuai Army was formed, and there has been no opportunity to show its strength on the battlefield, today it is finally possible for the world to see the strength of the Danyang soldiers, everyone is naturally doing their best, all of them are as excited as drinking chicken blood, and no matter whether the Yizhou soldiers in front of them are new soldiers or veterans, just greet them to death.
Rao is Zhang Ren's leader and command, but with the combat strength of 40,000 Yizhou New Army, how can he resist the 20,000 elites led by Guan Ping himself, so not long after the two armies engaged, the Yizhou Army began to rout and flee.
Seeing his soldiers being cut to the ground by the enemy and being chased by the enemy to flee for their lives, Zhang Ren relaxed instead, and said to Wu Yi and Zhang Song, who were accompanying him: "Tai Shici really fell into the calculation of the military division, and left the most elite troops here to defend me, which just created an opportunity for the elite troops led by the military division to break through!"
What Wu Yi thought in his heart was: Rub, knowing that Fazheng could escape all the way, why did you want to leave me behind for the funeral! It's a big deal that I don't keep quiet, just hand over the military power, and let Lao Tzu escape in it?
What Zhang Song thought in his heart was: Even if he was caught by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, as long as he revealed his identity, he would not be killed. For so many years, there have been no rumors of the Jin army killing captured generals.
