Chapter 671: Rescue (2nd Watch)
Yuan Zhao, the prince of Great Wei, never thought that one day, Great Wei would suffer from the enemy, especially in a good situation, Great Wei turned from safe to dangerous.
With 400,000 soldiers and horses, he marched to the Blue Bay River, compressing the seven-day journey to four and a half days.
In the past four and a half days, the last urgent report he received was that Great Wei had lost twelve cities in a row, and Yuanchen had retreated while fighting, and two days ago, he had retreated to Fan Ling City, the closest city to the Blue Bay River.
Yuan Zhao estimated the distance from Lanwan River to Fan Lingcheng, and without hesitation, he still went to Lanwan River.
When he led the troops to the Lanwan River, he saw the flames of the Lanwan River, it turned out that two days, Yuanchen could not hold on, and was attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang to the Lanwan River, which was the bottom line for the Emperor of Great Wei to let him stop the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang.
When Yuanchen's soldiers and horses were beaten by the Great Liang soldiers and horses, there was no room to fight back, and the reinforcements of the Great Wei came, and someone shouted, "The reinforcements are the reinforcements of the Great Wei!" ”
This sound was tantamount to thunder and explosion, and the drought was a rainstorm, which shocked the hearts of the Great Wei soldiers.
Someone saw Yuan Zhao's banner and shouted, "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down! ”
On the battlefield, one after another, one after another, it was as high as a sound, which immediately inspired the momentum of the Great Wei soldiers.
At this time, Yuanchen led people to fight on the battlefield, if it weren't for the guards around him, he would have died long ago, his body was already painted, his face was stained with blood, and he was very embarrassed.
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, he was also shocked in his heart, sure enough, when he saw that reinforcements were coming, Yuan Zhao's banner was clearly visible, he almost cried with joy, since he was a child, he had never been like this moment, hoping to see Yuan Zhao.
The reinforcements of the Great Wei arrived, and they suddenly attacked the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang.
The old protector immediately ordered, "Mingjin withdraws the troops." ”
Yan Echo was tired of killing people with people, I thought that I could take this Lanwan River today, who knew that this Lanwan River was indeed difficult to take, Yuanchen seemed to be ruthless, defending the Lanwan River, so that this battle was more tiring than any battle, especially when the reinforcements of the Great Wei came, the person who came was still the Prince of the Great Wei Yuan Zhao led the troops, and today it was naturally no fun to win the Blue Bay River.
He quickly retreated with his men.
The soldiers and horses of the Great Liang faded like a tide, and Yuan Zhao did not lead the troops to chase after him.
Yuan Chen saw Yuan Zhao, wiped the blood on his face, and called sincerely, "Brother Wang." ”
Yuan Zhao didn't ask him how he was so embarrassed, and when he met the prince of Daliang, Yan Echo, and the old protector of the country personally led the troops, it was good that he could not let people cross the Lanwan River. He nodded, "Let the doctor bandage your wound first, and then speak." ”
Yuanchen nodded, and someone helped him to find the doctor.
Yuan Zhao ordered people to count the number of people, clean up the battlefield, and after some counting, it was clear that Yuanchen now had 270,000 soldiers and horses left.
When he left Beijing, he brought 300,000 soldiers and horses, and when he arrived in Qiangli City, he joined Helanying's remaining 70,000 soldiers and horses.
Yuan Zhao was not surprised by this number, and 270,000 soldiers and horses were also counted as expected.
He has 400,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus these 270,000 soldiers and horses, 670,000 soldiers and horses, it is naturally more than enough to deal with Daliang, he doesn't believe that today's Daliang, Yan Echo and the old protector can still have enough for 400,000.
After Yuanchen finished bandaging, when he came to see Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhao asked him, "Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Daliang now?" ”
Yuan Chen naturally knew and replied to Yuan Zhao: "There should be more than 350,000." ”
In other words, the Great Wei lost twelve cities in a row and lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but the Great Liang only lost 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Yuan Zhao nodded, Daliang had 350,000 soldiers and horses, and he now had 670,000 soldiers and horses, so counterattacking was naturally not a problem.
Yuan Chen said: "Brother Wang, that Yan echo is too powerful, and there are a number of masters around him......
Yuan Zhao bowed, "On the way here, I have sent someone to deliver a message, and my father will send a royal secret guard to come, and I will be there in a few days." ”
Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Wang, it's good that you're here, you must beat the big beams to the ground, not only to close the twelve cities, but also to attack the hinterland of the big beams." ”
Yuan Zhao pursed his lips and did not speak.
Yuan Chen looked at him, "Brother Wang? ”
Yuan Zhao said: "Today is a day off, if Daliang does not continue to attack, the king of Ming Japan will send someone to negotiate peace with Daliang." ”
"What?" Yuan Chen was shocked, he looked at Yuan Zhao in disbelief, "Why do you want to make peace?" Brother Wang, your reinforcements have already arrived, why do you still want to negotiate peace? Why don't you continue to fight with the girders? Our food and grass salaries are enough to support half a year. ”
"I led 800,000 troops to Nanchu, but I only brought 400,000 soldiers and horses back, do you know why?" Yuan Zhao looked at him, "That's because, I attacked Nanchu unsmoothly, and was blocked outside the Black Cliff Pass, Su Rong had 500,000 soldiers and horses, but the masters around him were like clouds, and forcibly destroyed the six siege guns I brought, plus the Black Cliff Pass occupied the natural danger, she repeatedly had masters come to help, so that I failed to capture Nanchu, lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, I weighed it, led the troops to retreat, who knows, Su Rong actually waited for 200,000 reinforcements from Daliang, and led the troops to follow me to counterattack Dawei." Now, Helan Jue and Nangong Zheng led 350,000 troops to defend Dingnan City on the border of Southern Chu, and Su Rong, although she fought with me for a few days, she also lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, but she had reinforcements, adding up to 650,000 soldiers and horses, which is more than twice the number of Helan Jue and Nangong Zheng, you say, how long can they defend Dingnan City? If you don't negotiate peace with Daliang and suffer from the enemy on your back, will you really destroy the Great Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop? ”
Yuanchen didn't expect this, and his face changed several times for a while, "Brother Wang, how could you, why couldn't you get Su Rong?" ”
Yuan Zhao's face was gloomy, "It's this king who underestimated the number of masters around her, and I didn't expect that the Qinghe Cui family and the Protector Mansion were so caring for each other, and together they sent thousands of secret guards." Even Cui Xingzhi of the Cui clan in Qinghe was sent to Southern Chu to help. Otherwise, he would have been able to kill her and take Nan Chu, but because of this, he fell short. ”
Yuan Chen was speechless, and said unwillingly: "Brother Wang, we have died so many people and suffered such heavy losses, do we want to negotiate peace?" Negotiate peace with Da Liang, what about Nan Chu? Are you willing? ”
"To make peace with Da Liang, naturally we have to make peace with Nan Chu, what can I do if I am unwilling? The situation is not in our favor today. Yuan Zhao said: "This king guesses that the military needs in Daliang will not be too sufficient, after all, even if Daliang has preparations, it is Yan Huisheng after the death of Yan Li and Yan Lin, after completely sitting in the position of the prince, he is prepared, and if he fights again, the military needs of Daliang will be insufficient, and Nanchu, after being chaotic for so long, the military supplies are just barely raised, this king and them take the initiative to negotiate peace, they should accept it, otherwise, they will fight hard, this king will carry it hard, and the boat will be broken, then, in the end, all three will be defeated." ”
