Battle of the Mid-Autumn Festival (2)
Zharen Mountain, August 11, 385 in the Celestial Calendar
An Mingqian stood on the top of the mountain, watching the soldiers in front of him constantly put down the bows and arrows in their hands, and after the soldiers in Xingzhou approached, there would be rolling logs and stones to fall down. Although, the casualties of the soldiers of the Yan State who occupy the geographical advantage are far lower than those of the soldiers of the criminal state below, and the soldiers of the rear army who are mainly old and weak in front of them should only be responsible for carrying food and building fortifications. When these people die, Yan Guo does not need to issue pensions. But An Mingqian's heart still rose with a trace of kindness.
The war continues, and it is these dawn people who suffer. An Mingqian said to himself, at this time, in addition to the personal guards, there was only Cui Xilie, who was dressed in a black robe and even covered his face.
Great benevolence is not benevolent, can it be that the soldiers of our Yan Kingdom have been killed or injured. His Royal Highness felt relieved, these thousands of people and old and weak soldiers could exchange one for one, which was extremely cost-effective for us. Looking at the offensive below, Xiao Yi really transferred the elite main forces this time. If His Royal Highness can seize the fighter plane, it is possible to sweep away the Jiangbei army in Xingzhou in one fell swoop. Cui Xilie looked at the bloody battlefield, and a blood-colored blazing light rose in his eyes, but his head became more and more calm.
The opposing army was inexperienced in attacking, and we camped fortifications in a circular shape along the mountain range. Attack a ring of fortifications, or attack a fortification in a skirmisher formation, or fight its earth with archers, or dig tunnels to break through our fortifications. The opposite side directly uses the ant attachment attack method, such the lowest attack method, is the enemy general on the opposite side really the general Hua Dingshan? An Mingqian was puzzled, it had been almost two hours since the camp was attacked, and the Yan army had only used the rear army and the people to fight until now, although there were many casualties. But the real combat power has not been consumed at all, although the camp looks like half and half, it is very miserable.
His Highness saw that the enemy army was clumsy and had no intention of underestimating the enemy, and this general was also. Huading Mountain is just a defender of the city, but it can be like this. It is estimated that the King of Liang is urging him very much, raising the earth mountain and digging the tunnel is obviously not a quick victory, even if Hua Dingshan wants to use it, Xiao Yi will definitely not allow him. As for the stragglers to capture one place, this attack requires the elite captain of the hundred battles and the low-level officers of the team to lead the army. The Yugoslav army was stronger than military discipline and neglected military combat strength. Therefore, this attack method is also not available, so although the Yangjun elite we see is brightly armored and the weapons are strong. But the field battle is only a rabble, and it is not much stronger than the rebels in our country. Cui Xilie said proudly. The southern army played such a look, it was really difficult for him to get into his eyes.
But it is also different, the chaotic people attack, often a slight defeat, and then scatter as birds and beasts. The criminal state army below has been repulsed twice, and is still beating drums and gathering troops to attack. An Mingqian retorted.
That's right, Your Highness. Wait for them to attack again. It's time for us to let He Chun and them pull back. In addition, it was time for the cavalry in the rear to kick up smoke and dust. Cui Xiyeol did not dwell on it either, and shifted the topic to military affairs.
Well, Ben had already prepared three hundred horses and ran around the trees. I'll give the order to He Chun to prepare to retreat. An Mingqian did not put on the prince's stand at all, and immediately began to handle the military affairs ordered by "General Cui" like a subordinate.
The bottom of the mountain.
Seeing that the sun was already centered, Hua Dingshui had no intention of resting. Looking at the defeated soldiers and low-ranking officers, he couldn't help but be angry.
Useless things, Ben will come in person. With that, he pulled out his sword and stood on the ground, a four-foot long sword with a dark blue body revealed a terrifying ghostly light, as if it was about to kill people.
Adjutant General, you will stand here for me with a battalion of archers to guard here, and if anyone dares to retreat this sword, shoot it directly. Then he drew his sword again.
Now I'm also a soldier attacking the village, everyone, come with me.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and generals attacked together, looking at this formation, although He Chun was not stunned. But his face also became solemn, and the retreat order he had just received reminded him that even if he repelled this wave of attacks this time, he would not be able to resist the next time. If there are no reinforcements.
But he really didn't want to retreat like this at this time, and an indescribable irritability filled his heart. The Southern Army emphasized military discipline, while the Northern Army did the opposite, and the Northern Army actually placed more emphasis on victory. Although this is not to say that it is written in the military law that a junior general can not obey the orders of a superior general. However, in the northern army, before Emperor Wu Xiao Tong or even earlier, there were cases of generals who did not obey the king's orders and won, not only forgiving but also rewarding them heavily. This kind of thing has even happened among the soldiers, and there are big soldiers who do not listen to the team leader and the captain, and as a result, the head of the enemy general is brought back and even the enemy's grain and grass are burned, and then they are directly worshiped by the general and made a marquis. When the Yan Kingdom was established, this situation was even more numerous. Therefore, although An Mingqian gave the order, He Chun did not have to carry it out.
Of course, if you make a mistake in judgment, you lose the battle, and even wipe out the army. The treatment is the same in both the North and the South.
General, the enemy is menacing. If we force the battle, it will be difficult to bargain. The adjutant urged.
The archers drained all their arrows and threw down all the rolling logs and stones. Our troops retreated. Finally, after a few battles between heaven and man, He Chun still gave the order to retreat.
By the end of noon, Hua Dingshui had captured more than 10 Anmingqian fortifications on the mountainside and fully occupied the mountainside. and continued to attack to the top of the mountain, but by this time, the soldier's physical strength and will had already experienced a huge drain. Coupled with the fact that there was no food yet, all three attacks ended in failure.
In the evening, when Huading Mountain came up to count the casualties, his brows tightened even more.
A total of 1,700 people were killed, and as many as 2,000 were wounded. Most of them were lost in the afternoon attack on the mountaintop, and in the two attacks in the morning, only one or two hundred lives were lost. Nearly 4,000 casualties caused Huadingshan's army to lose nearly 10% of its strength at once. Although the number of troops does not seem to be much, generally speaking, the army that can not be defeated without losing thirty percent of the army is definitely not a rabble, the fifty percent army that is not defeated is the elite, and the seventy percent army that is not defeated is already a miracle.
Although, his own commander, seventy percent of the dead soldiers were soldiers from Nanjun and Lu County. The soldiers of his own Yang County did not suffer much losses, and the descendants of the Hua family only injured their fur. However, he could not kill more than seven hundred heads, and according to the armor on the corpse, Hua Dingshan knew that An Mingqian's strength was still very well preserved.
General, 700 heads were killed, and the enemy's casualties may be nearly 2,000. The deputy general saw Hua Dingshan's displeasure and comforted.
Order, soldiers of each battalion. Strengthen the garrison to prevent night attacks. Tomorrow we will continue to attack the mountain.
Buffalo Mountain back mountain Liang Wang Xing camp
Tu Hejin, who was covered in blood, fell in front of Xiao Yi as soon as he came in, as for whether it was pretended or real, only Tu Hejin himself knew.
Seeing that Tu Hejin was so desperate, Xiao Yi immediately asked his imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and brought a lot of high-quality qi and blood medicines. Luo Le listened to the names of those medicines, and only felt that one head was two heads big. Tu He listened carefully, only to feel that these medicines seemed to be more expensive than his own life. Basically, the longer the name, the more expensive it is.
Tu He was not injured to the fatal point, and he was protected by leather armor. After recovering a little bit of his spirit, he began to report the military situation to King Liang, Xiao Yi listened to the military information that was similar to that of Mr. Yu, and felt that the more he looked at these young generals, the more pleasing it became.
It wasn't until he heard the location of the grain and grass that Xiao Yi stood up directly.
Did General Tuhe really find out the thief's grain and grass? There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Yes, the grain and grass of An Mingqian's department are in Anji, twenty miles behind his headquarters. His Royal Highness the King of Liang, Tuhe is willing to lead people forward, if you can't burn the enemy's grain and grass, please wrap my body in the horse leather given by the king. Tu Hejin suddenly had a surge of blood and swore an oath.
Well, Tuhe has made meritorious contributions to probing the enemy's military situation, and has been promoted to the lieutenant of the Yue Cavalry of the Central Protector Army, and Luo Le has been promoted to the lieutenant of the Zhonghu Military Academy, and he is under the jurisdiction of Tuhe. General Tuhe, this king will give you 500 elite iron horses, and Wangqing will live up to this king! Xiao Yi said happily.
General Tuhe has been seriously wounded in exploring the enemy army, and it is better to choose another general to burn the enemy's grain and grass this time. Hua Dingfeng (Third Uncle Hua Ming) suddenly spoke.
His Royal Highness King Yuliang, General Hua Ming is heroic, and he is very suitable for burning the enemy's grain and grass this time.
King Yuliang, burning the enemy's grain and grass does not rely on the courage of the generals, but on the understanding of the enemy's situation. After burning the grain and grass, the swallow thief still has 30,000 heads waiting for the brave generals to make meritorious contributions. Tuhe argued with reason, and he didn't expect this injury to become a burden. In the past, he would definitely not dare to confront Hua Ming or even Hua Dingfeng. But now, he has experienced life and death, and for some of his own desires, his courage has unconsciously increased.
What you said is good, General Tuhe, after burning the enemy's grain and grass this time, you will be promoted to the general of the Central Protector Army, and the unified soldiers will return to Yang County to escort the grain and grass equipment first, and also recuperate from the wounds by the way. This burns the enemy's grain and grass......
The last general will set out with his troops. After speaking, Tu Hejin directly left Luo Le and went out of the camp to order troops.
Xiao Yi looked at it, and the satisfaction in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
When all the generals retreated, Mr. Yu came out of the curtain again.
Mr. looks at people as accurately as ever, although this Tuhe Jin is average, but he is really shrewd and capable, this king is constantly surprised. Xiao Yi is still immersed in the joy of choosing his own talents.
The lord is ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal. It can be used now, but if there are signs of success in the future, you must be on guard against it. Mr. Yu frowned.
Oh, but why?
This person's desire for fame is too great, and the code of ethics often can't restrain him, and he is cowardly on the surface and his actual ambition is high. What this person says and does, what he wants and wants, is only for power, and the desire for power is strong, which can only be seen in a certain life.
There is no one in the world who has no desires and no desires, fame and fortune, status and rights, he doesn't want these things. If the enemy's grain and grass can be burned this time, does Mr. think, can Zhongzhou plot? Xiao Yi began to look at Shu Dao.
Lord, the new army and the new policy are not a day's work. Our purpose in this battle is only to build momentum for the new army and new policy, and at this time, the thieves are strong and strong. Plotting Zhongzhou, the current strength is far from enough. Mr. Yu said with a headache.
