Chapter 370: Breakout
Zhang Chong cleaned up the fame and reputation fisherman with his backhand, and then stuffed meat into his mouth, but the Han official with a blank expression asked:
"I think you're a strong man, what's your name?"
Hearing the big thief come to ask, the man hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth, and then fell to the ground and said respectfully:
"General Hui, my name is Zhu Ling."
Zhang Chong listened to the name, thought about it, and asked again:
"Oh, then you're from Zhongshan?"
This Han official named Zhu Ling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied:
"General, I am from Qinghe County, and I came to Zhongshan with my uncle to sell goods. After that, the Chinese minister recruited troops, and I joined the army."
Zhang Chong was stunned.
It seems that this person is Zhu Ling in history, and this is a good general.
Originally, he just saw that this person was strong in martial arts, and his clothes and armor were broken, and he was obviously captured in battle. So they called him up and ate meat. But I didn't expect it to be a character?
But that's it, the generals with names and surnames under Zhang Chong's account can be used to talk about the amount of fighting in the car.
His view of most people is that this generation is a person who has achieved things because of people, and only a few such as Guan Yu and Xu Huang are really unique.
So even if he knew that this person was Cao Wei's general in history, Zhang Chong only asked lightly:
"Will you surrender me?"
How could Zhu Ling be unwilling, the fate of his colleague Wang Zheng just now really scared him.
Don't you see? The "unyielding" person will be dragged out and beheaded if he disagrees.
How dare he, Zhu Ling, say nothing.
Besides, he is also a recruiter, and he is still from Qinghe, so he was not valued in the Zhongshan national army system. Especially the local officials all regard their foreign systems as anointed, so Zhu Ling naturally has no sense of belonging to the Zhongshan system.
It's a pity that Wang Zheng. This person is the same as him in the foreign soldier system, but he Zhu Ling still belongs to the national soldiers, and Wang Zheng belongs to Zhang Chunguowei, and he is the subordinate he brought from Yuyang's hometown.
So he is also a border soldier, and he Zhu Ling still has a bit of pity for Wang Zheng's death.
But that's it.
So, after listening to Zhang Chong's question, Zhu Ling bowed his head. I didn't know that the eyes of the colleagues behind him were so envious and complicated.
The absorption of the Han army is familiar with the Taishan army, and there is naturally a set of processes.
Only those who can enter Zhang Chong's eyes like Zhu Ling will let Zhang Chong personally ask.
At this time, a sudden spring rain suddenly came.
After the Taishan army collected its own brothers, they left a turquoise cavalry here to continue to clean up the battlefield.
Of course, they don't need to do these jobs, because the nearly 10,000 disciples of the original Zhongshan soldiers returned to the battlefield from the mountains and forests at this time, and surrendered to the Taishan army.
It's not because they don't want to run, but they know that they can't run back to their hometown with their bare hands, and they will lose their lives if they can't run back to their hometown. Instead, it is better to take refuge in the well-known Taishan Army and seek a way to live.
In this way, the spring rain was dripping, and the disciples worked hard to dig the corpse pit and pushed the corpse of the Zhongshan National Soldier into it. And the nearby cart was full of the military uniforms of these corpses, tattered, and the flush deepened under the rush of the spring rain.
Subsequently, the main force of the Taishan army cavalry drove in the direction of Handan, they wore hats and robes, led a string of Han prisoners, and gradually disappeared in the spring rain.
The spring rain came suddenly, but it could not stop the bloody battle outside Handan.
As Gao Ran's troops broke through, several of the generals' mounts were taken away. The Han army knew that there was no way out.
This only motivates them to fight.
From Tatsuma to the sun, the giant deer soldiers have been fighting for half a day, even if they are covered in blood and sweat, they are still fighting.
So when this spring rain hit, not only could it not interrupt the fighting array. On the contrary, it gave the long-thirsty Zhongshan soldiers a little respite.
They opened their mouths wide and tried to let more rain moisten their parched lips.
After the fall of the north wall of Handan in the Chen period, Zhao Fu, the general of the north wall, broke through to the Chinese army with the remnants of the wall.
At this moment, Guo Dian's Chinese army has gathered 9,000 troops and is ready to pour out.
Originally, when Guo Dian went south, there were 15,000 people in his army and 1,000 and 15 cavalrymen. But the cavalry was first defeated in the Liang period, and it was broken in half. Then last night, he was coerced by Gao Ran's anti-bones and escaped.
It can be said that apart from the more than 20 people under his account, Guo Dian no longer has any organized cavalry troops.
As for the main infantry force, the Julu Army also suffered heavy losses.
There are four walls on the periphery, and there are 2,000 soldiers on each wall. But it fell one after another, except for more than 2,000 soldiers who came back. The rest of the people either died or surrendered, it can be said that the four pavilions lost three pavilions, which is miserable.
It was also in this context that Guo Dian took the main force of the Chinese army with 7,000 and the remnants of the 2,000 soldiers who had retreated before out of the camp to fight to the death with the Taishan army outside the wall.
Because Guo Dian also discovered that the enemy cavalry that was originally densely scattered in the four fields will be gone.
Guo Dian wasn't sure if it was because of his reinforcements. But one thing he was sure of was that the enemy was now evenly matched by him, and that there was no cavalry of the most threatening of them.
If there's a way to survive this battle, it's now.
Guo Dian is the most knowledgeable soldier among the county magistrates in Hebei, otherwise he would not have been able to pacify the Yellow Turban in Hebei in history. So once he saw this opportunity, Guo Dian acted very decisively.
When Guo Dian's whole army attacked, the Taishan army was still a little startled.
At first, they couldn't understand why the enemy army poured out like a hornet's nest. But they soon reacted that it must be the disappearance of the cavalry on the battlefield that made them feel that they had an opportunity.
At this time, it was Yu Ban who was in charge of the war in Handan.
This general, who grew up from the blood and fire of the children of Taishan Shanliao, has already become an outstanding commander.
When he saw the Julu Army pouring out, Yu Ban decisively ordered the battalions of the Zhonghu Army to enter the original Han army on all sides of the fortress and defend it in stages.
At this time, the war seemed to be reversed from yesterday. The Taishan army that originally attacked the wall, this will become the defender of the wall, and it is also full of drama.
But the four walls are not as good defensively as they were yesterday. On the one hand, after yesterday's destruction, on the other hand, these four walls are mainly defended on the outside, but on the inside.
For example, the likes of the trenches were purchased on the outside, and there were not many defenses on the inside.
Therefore, the Taishan army entered these four barriers, that is, it was better than nothing.
Soon, the intensity of the fighting quickly escalated.
One side wants to seize this window to break through, and the other side knows that the enemy will take advantage of this breath. So no one will let it.
The original drizzle has become heavier and heavier, and it has become a downpour.
The battlefield was gray, and no one could tell the difference between friend and foe. Some were hooded, and when they collided with each other, they realized that they were enemy troops, and then there was another brutal bloody killing.
At this time, the offensive of both sides also had to be suspended.
The rain stopped as fast as it came, and after only half an hour, the sky was already blue.
The rainbow also shines in the sun, showing the color of the world.
But judging from the two armies outside Handan, the whole world is black and white.
Guo Dian, who had just finished dodging the rain, reorganized the soldiers as soon as the sky was clear, preparing to arrange a new round of attack sequences.
But at this time, he found that the Taishan army was also dispatched.
One is written with the word "Yu" flag, and the other is written with the word "Dong". It was the banner of the two commanders of the enemy army in this battle.
They also set up a formation outside the four walls of Handan, preparing to meet the Han army.
This move of the Taishan Army made Guo Dian quite worried.
Because before the heavy rain, the Taishan army did not have this army formation, but now there is such a neat military formation, then there is only one fact, that is, they are actually lined up in the heavy rain.
This gave Guo Dian a very clear understanding of the organization of the enemy army. You know, in the torrential rain just now, the battalion head of his subordinates could barely maintain the formation, and the opposite
Since you can still form a formation.
Thinking of this, Guo Dian was preoccupied.
It was also because of this concern that Guo Dian decided to use his core subordinates, that is, two thousand black-clothed armored soldiers under his tent, as the vanguard, and strive to open the breakthrough channel in the shortest possible time.
Guo Dian's move made Wei Shuzhi next to him frown.
After Wei Shui surrendered to Guo Dian after the defeat of the army, he personally killed thousands of Hebei Yellow Turbans and surrendered his name. This person has always been taken by Guo Dian by his side, and he consulted more about the information of the Yellow Turban Thief.
And Wei Shui also knew that he had cut himself off from the Yellow Turban, so he devoted himself to assisting Guo Dian. This time when he went south, Guo Dian also took Wei Shui with him, just to ask him more about the military situation of the Taishan army.
But Wei Shui didn't know much more about the Taishan Army than Guo Dian, so his voice was a lot weaker here than Guo Dian during this time.
But even so, seeing Guo Dian's stupid move, Wei Shui couldn't help but persuade:
"Ming Gong, these two thousand black-clothed soldiers are your most elite troops, once you throw them here, there may be disaster in the future!"
Wei Shui was sharpened from the intrigue of the Hebei Yellow Turban, how could he not know that at this time, a county guard who had lost his arms was not authoritarian, even his life could not be saved.
And Wei Shui's honor and disgrace are deeply rooted in Guo Dian, so no matter what the interests are, he must persuade them.
Wei Shui's words reminded Guo Dian, and he also felt that the order just now was a bit reckless.
But just as he was about to change the order, another scribe on the side of the horse, that is, Tian Feng, stood up and scolded Wei Shu angrily:
"You are a scheming villain, and you dare to talk about big things. Now that the situation is already dangerous, the more delays there are, the more risks of breaking through. Once the enemy cavalry comes to the rescue? Can we still go?"
Wei Shui didn't pay attention to the barking Tian Feng at all, but said to Guo Dian:
"The Zhongshan soldiers must come to the aid in a big way! And the thieves went to all the cavalry, how could they break the strong army of Zhongshan for a while. You must know that Zhongshan has always been a heavy county in Bibian, and it has rich experience in resisting cavalry. Therefore, the so-called return of the enemy's cavalry is nonsense."
Listening to Wei Shui's words, Guo Dian bowed slightly.
But how could Tian Feng let Wei Shui make waves like this, he directly pointed out the loophole in Wei Shui's words:
"If the Zhongshan soldiers can withstand the enemy cavalry, then why break through? Our army can directly fight a decisive battle with it. Taking advantage of the absence of the Taishan Army's cavalry department, wouldn't it be okay to annihilate the thief infantry army first?"
Yes, since the enemy's cavalry is not to be worried, it is okay to hold on and wait for reinforcements, or to attack the infantry of the Taishan Army first. Why do you have to run?
The strongest thought was Zang Hong in the crowd.
He is the most incomprehensible to Guo Dian, obviously you were the most thirsty for reinforcements before, and now his father is coming with a large army, at this time you want to run?
But Zang Hong, who already had a city government, did not show this dissatisfaction, and stood quietly in the crowd.
Guo Dian regretted it very much at the moment, regretting why he wanted to take Tian Feng to the south together.
This person really has no eyesight, and the things he asks are so embarrassing.
You, Tian Feng, asked why did you run away since the reinforcements came? Then let me tell you, is it my old Guo who is dying?
He hadn't fought with the Taishan army before, so he really didn't know that this wave of soldiers was so capable of fighting.
He had already expected that even if the Zhongshan soldiers came, the rendezvous between the two parties might not be the opponent of the Taishan army. Not to mention, the commander of the enemy army named General Chongtian personally led the cavalry to intercept it, and he was worried that it was still a question whether the Zhongshan soldiers could come?
But it's true that the longer it drags on, the greater the risk.
So Guo Dian made such a change, that is, to divide the original 2,000 black-clothed armored soldiers into two, with only 1,000 people as the vanguard, and then selected 3,000 troops from other departments, and led them by his brother Guo Pu, and ordered Zhao Fu to be the leader.
In this way, the second wave of breakout battles officially began.
Soon, Guo Pu and 4,000 pioneers collided with the military formation with the word "Dong" flag.
He had long found that the number of soldiers in this wave was small, and it was not the same as the previous wall, so he decided to use this place as the direction of the breakthrough.
What he rushed was Dong Wan
The rear military academy lieutenant department under its jurisdiction has 3,000 soldiers.
It is true that Dong Wan did not send troops in the first battle that fell to the wall yesterday, but it is not that their strength is weak. On the contrary, under the tempering of Dong Yuan, the Captain Department of the Later Military Academy is an army with a very resolute will to fight.
Since Dong Wan made a mistake in the Heji area, he was stripped of his military position. But then he made a comeback and became one of the five captains, so he was naturally even more attentive.
Under his command, even though Guo Pu had 4,000 soldiers, he was still stopped by Dong Wan on the passage.
In this process, Guo Pu kept asking for soldiers from the Chinese army, and Guo Dian had to keep asking for soldiers from various battalions.
But when he saw the reinforcements sent by the battalions, Guo Dian was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
He pointed to a military officer and scolded:
"I ordered you to bring 300 elite soldiers here, why did you bring so few soldiers?"
The military official panicked, and he hurriedly explained to Guo Dian:
"County guard, my family general will let me bring these one hundred and thirty people. Could it be that the soldiers have sent the wrong news?"
Guo Dian didn't say anything to this kid, and asked him to leave these one hundred and thirty people, and then quickly go back to make up for the remaining reinforcements.
The officer left his troops and hurried back, but he did not see him for a long time.
The same is true of the other battalions. Either delay, or discount the order.
At this time, even Guo Dian saw that something was wrong.
At this time, Tian Feng anxiously stepped forward to ask for help:
"Ming Gong, let me take the black-clad soldiers to the battalions to announce the order. I don't think the battalions are quite right, please give me the right to cut first and then play, and I will bring their reinforcements."
But just as Tian Feng continued to ask for his life, Guo Dian, who was sitting on the horse, had empty eyes, looked at the northeast of the battlefield, and said lifelessly:
"No, it's too late."
At this time, Tian Feng raised his head and looked at the northeast.
I saw that the apricot yellow daxu with the four big characters "for the heavens" written on it had been swaying in a puff of smoke and dust.
It's too late.
