844 Dare next time!
After the city of Yanqi was breached, Zhang Fei quickly cut off the logistical food routes for the expeditionary troops according to the information obtained by the surrendered officials in the royal city, causing them to lose the supply of grain.
In this way, regardless of whether they succeed in the expedition or not, they will lose logistical support, which may deal a decisive blow to them.
As far as Zhang Fei learned, the latest news shows that Wei Xu Guo seems to be still resisting, and Yu Li Guo seems to have knelt down.
The main reason is that the state of Weisu has a relatively complete defense system of the royal city, and the generals in charge of the defense of the royal city of Yuli State were bought by the Yanqi State very early on to become the leading party, so the military attack on the Yuli State was very smooth.
Zhang Fei thought about it and felt that in this way, the breakthrough of the Yanqi King City would not be fully accomplished, because the army that had already broken through the Yuli Kingdom might come back to take revenge, so he ...... This battle is not over yet, and it will continue to be fought!
So, how to fight?
Zhang Fei advocated that if you don't do anything, you should be reckless to the end, you don't have to stay, continue to lead the troops to rush to the Yuli country, and fight to the death with the army of the Yanqi country that has not gained a firm foothold, and kill them over there, so as to achieve the final victory.
And the subordinates generally think that this is too risky, in case the army that attacked the country of Weisu is withdrawn, or the army that attacked the country of Moshan comes back, then the royal city is undefended and is recaptured by the army of the Yanqi country, isn't this battle equivalent to fighting in vain?
And in that case, the logistics of the Han army will also be greatly affected, won't it?
Zhang Fei was hesitating when a piece of good news came.
Dong Zhuo and Zhao Qi, as well as the king of the former country of Cheshi, arrived to support them with an army of a thousand troops from the former country of Cheshi.
It turned out that after Zhang Fei attacked, Dong Zhuo and Zhao Qi felt uneasy, and felt that they still needed to give Zhang Fei a little support, and the number of soldiers Zhang Fei brought was too small.
In case Zhang Fei really can't get the people of Yanqi Kingdom, then bringing a team of men and horses to ensure that Zhang Fei can retreat safely can be regarded as helping Zhang Fei and saving the situation.
So Zhao Qi and Dong Zhuo discussed, and the two found the king of the former country of Cheshi together, stated the benefits to him, explained the benefits of this matter, and hoped that the king could make the right choice and send troops and horses to help the Han army carry out military operations, so that he would definitely get a generous return from the Han Empire.
And if something really happened to Zhang Fei, with the friendship between Zhang Fei and Emperor Liu Bei, the Han Dynasty would inevitably send a powerful army to avenge Zhang Fei.
At that time, under the emperor's anger, where the army passed, there was no grass, the passing dogs had to be slapped twice, the earthworms in the soil were to be turned out and cut into two pieces vertically, and the Cheshi Qianguo, which was close at hand but could not provide support, would also become a tool for the emperor to vent his anger.
Who told you not to send troops to help?
There is no reason to say to the Son of Heaven in anger, yes, you have no relevant obligations, but the Son of Heaven in anger will listen to your statement? He only thinks he's quibbling!
So, Your Royal Highness, you don't want to be used as a tool to vent your anger by the Son of Heaven, do you?
Dong Zhuo had a strange face and stated the "benefits" to the king of the former country of Cheshi.
After listening to Dong Zhuo's suggestion, Wu Gui, the former king of Cheshi, immediately realized that he was a great Han Zhongliang after a short period of thought.
Although the body is the body of the driver, the heart has long been the heart of a man.
In his heart, the emotion called loyalty was surging wildly.
Well, I'm left with only one choice.
That is to be loyal to the Son of Heaven!
So, he decided to send half of the country's military strength, that is, 1,000 people, to help the Han army move.
The country before the division was not a strong country in the first place, and earlier the whole country together could only send more than 1,000 people to fight, but now it has been recuperating for many years, and the population has increased, but it is not much, and it is already very good to be able to send 2,000 people to fight.
And in the current situation, they dispatched a thousand men to help in the battle, which is indeed interesting enough.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo and Zhao Qi did not continue to ask for anything, so together with Wu Gui, they took the soldiers of the 1,000-car division to find Zhang Fei along the road where Zhang Fei set off, and hurried all the way, just in time to arrive at the most critical time in Yanqi King City.
When Zhang Fei saw them coming, he was overjoyed, and praised Wugui's "loyalty" fiercely, and then asked these thousand Cheshi soldiers to replace him to defend the Yanqi King City, and then Zhang Fei continued to rush to Yuli Country with all the Han troops, to take the initiative to attack and catch them off guard in Yuli Country.
The task of Dong Zhuo, Zhao Qi and Wu Gui is to guard against the Yanqi army that will come back in the direction of the Dangerous Su Kingdom and the Moshan Kingdom in case of a possible situation.
In any case, the city of King Yanqi will not be lost, and everything in the city, except for the loot that has been collected by the Han army, everything else can be handled by the soldiers of the Cheshi State themselves.
Zhang Fei is still clear that not every army has such good welfare treatment as the Han army, so the Han army is not interested in burning, killing and looting, and it is not allowed in discipline, but the armies of other countries may burn, kill and loot is the only way for them to get paid for participating in the war.
Just like when Ban Chao organized the Western Regions Alliance to deal with the Yanqi Alliance, he won the battle, and he also had to indulge the soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance to snatch the Yanqi Alliance completely.
If it's not for money, who will die for you?
In this regard, Wugui was very happy, and the soldiers of the Cheshi were also very happy, so they quickly entered the city, and after Zhang Fei left, they plundered the city for three days, almost to the point of digging three feet into the ground, and finally scavenged every inch of land, and then fulfilled the task given to them by Zhang Fei with satisfaction.
Zhao Qi was very disdainful of this, feeling that these people were not a serious army, they were simply bandits and robbers.
Dong Zhuo felt inexplicably familiar, and even a little inexplicably moved, feeling as if he had seen the shadow of the army he once had.
Getting along with the Han army whose discipline is greater than everything every day, he almost thought that he was living in heaven on some earth, and finally found out when he arrived in the Western Regions that the old routine was the mainstream of this world, and the Han army was the exception of the exception.
Zhang Fei took the Han army to the country of Yuli under the guidance of the guide, and along the way, Zhang Fei learned that the country of Yuli was still a little interesting.
The city of Yuli, the capital of the state of Yuli, was built on a stone hill, and the terrain was dangerous, forming a natural barrier, making it difficult for the city to be breached by invaders.
In other words, if it weren't for the internal ghosts and the external cooperation this time, the Yuli Kingdom would not necessarily be taken down by the Yanqi Kingdom so simply, and it would definitely have to go through some twists and turns.
And at the moment, for the Han army, if the army of Yanqi chooses to defend to the death, there must be a problem, and the Han army will be more difficult, so a strong attack is not a good way out.
But the problem is that it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Because when Zhang Fei's army arrived in the territory of Yuli Kingdom, news came from the outpost that they found that an army was advancing rapidly in their direction, and that army was under the banner of Yanqi Kingdom, and the number was about three thousand.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was overjoyed.
He looked at the guide and smiled.
"It looks like this problem has been solved, and we don't have to worry about it anymore."
The enemy army took the initiative to come out of the city, which was not too good for Zhang Fei and for the Han army.
As for field warfare, Zhang Fei dared to say that no army was more capable of field warfare than the Han army.
And Ali, who led the troops on the Yanqi side, is actually in extreme anxiety now.
He was originally very happy, because with the help of the inner ghost, he successfully took the city of the king of Yuli, easily cleaned up their royal family, killed them all, and then announced that the country of Yuli was annexed, and those who supported it could live, and those who did not support it had to die, and none of them could survive.
Most of the officials of the entire Yuli country chose to surrender, and only a few people felt very sad and angry because of the slaughtered royal family, so they angrily scolded Ali who led the matter, and angrily scolded the Yanqi country for not having a good end, and then was killed by the angry Ali without ordering it, and together with their families, as well as those who resisted, Lin Lin killed almost 2,000 people.
And the population of the entire Yuli country was only about 15,000, and he killed one-seventh of this killing, and the casualties were very heavy.
The rise of killing on his side basically controlled all of Yuli Country, but suddenly the logistics route was cut off, and news came from the rear that the rear had lost contact, and after further investigation, the traces of the Han army were actually found!
Ali was not surprised, and then reacted immediately, quickly blocking the news and not allowing it to spread.
Then secretly sent people to continue to investigate the relevant news, and finally came to an accurate conclusion, indeed found traces of the activities of the Han army, and even they had a small encounter with the Han army's sentinels.
Ali didn't feel that the situation was bad, so he decided to lead his troops back to Yanqi to see what was going on.
Some subordinates suggested that he should not act rashly and should continue to investigate the news, but Ali did not care about Long Qian's safety, and was very worried that Wangcheng was besieged by the Han army and Long Qi was in danger, and felt that as Long Qian's subordinates, he should immediately lead the army to support and avoid a more dangerous situation.
So Ali ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, left 500 soldiers to guard the city of Yuli King, and marched in the direction of Yanqi with the main force, and then met the 2,000 Han army led by Zhang Fei on the wilderness halfway.
Then came the clash between the two armies.
As a result, it was not surprising that Ali Bubu insisted on a stick of incense for a while, and was crushed by the Han army.
Zhang Fei showed his might, personally led the army to charge, and led the personal guard cavalry to beat the military formation of the Yanqi army into a cross, and easily won the victory, while Ali Bu, the first general under Long Li, was besieged by Zhang Fei's personal guards in Zhang Fei's charge, knocked off his horse, and was trampled to death.
The Yanqi army was completely annihilated, more than 700 people were killed in battle, and the rest all surrendered.
After Zhang Fei won, he further advanced to the Yuli King City, and when he arrived at the Yuli King City, he was surprised to find that the Yuli King City was in a melee, and the city gate was also in a scuffle, and the city gate was wide open, so Zhang Fei immediately waved his army to attack, and the army entered the city, and after a chaotic battle, Zhang Fei controlled the situation.
Then, he learned that after Ali did not go to war, only 500 people were left to defend the city of Yuli King, and these 500 people were powerful and powerful, insulting the people of Yuli in various ways, and the people of Yuli were not popular, and they hated the brutal massacre of their people by the Yanqi people, so he launched a rebellion at night and wanted to kill all the 500 Yanqi soldiers.
However, because of its own strength, it was not completely successful from fighting at night to during the day, and even killed many people by the Yanqi army at one time, but fortunately, the Han army came in time, which ended the chaotic situation.
Knowing that it was the Han army coming, the remnants of the Yuli Kingdom, led by the officials who were still alive, cried to Zhang Fei, crying about the inhumane massacre they had suffered before, and the royal family that had been killed, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Han and sacrifice everything to the Han, but hoping that Zhang Fei could uphold justice for them.
When Zhang Fei learned of this, he sighed, so he brought the previous batch of captives and asked the people of Yuli to identify the people who had insulted and killed them among these captives, and after identifying them, he handed them over to the people of Yuli to deal with, so that they could vent their anger in their hearts.
After the end of this battle, Zhang Fei asked the captives some things, and made some judgments, thinking that the current situation has gradually become clear, as long as the army returns to the Yanqi King City, and the Yanqi King City is preserved, then the overall situation will be determined.
Even if the Yanqi Kingdom attacked the army of the Dangerous Su Kingdom and the army of the Moshan Kingdom returned later, he was confident that he would be able to defeat them head-on, and after that, his right to act cheaply would not be directed against the Yanqi Kingdom.
But he didn't think it was redundant.
This military operation was completely forced, and under normal circumstances, he would not use only 3,000 cavalry to deal with several countries, even a few small ones.
Less against more is an extremely dangerous behavior, even if the Han army is really strong, Zhang Fei doesn't want to fight such a battle, but whenever there is a little possibility, he also likes to bully less with more, and he also likes the army to push over and achieve a safe and steady victory.
This time it was a risky quest for wealth, but he also thought that he wouldn't be so lucky every time.
Therefore, he did not dare to stay in the city of King Yuli for long, and only arranged for a tun chief to be stationed here with a hundred soldiers to maintain order, waiting for the Han envoy to send the latest instructions, and then he hurriedly returned to the city of King Yanqi with the main force of the army.
Fortunately, this time, good luck always accompanied him.
When he returned to the Yanqi King City, the latest military intelligence showed that there were troops coming from the direction of the Weisu Kingdom and the Moshan Kingdom, and the royal city of the Yanqi Kingdom was in danger, and Zhang Fei's timely return brought them the possibility of victory.
Originally, Dong Zhuo and Zhao Qi were preparing to defend the city with the army of the former country of Cheshi, and they were all hurrying to increase the height and thickness of the city wall, but Zhang Fei's timely return to the division increased the winning rate of this battle a lot.
"Fortunately, the general is fast, otherwise we might have to rely on these thousand people to be trapped in the lonely city, and although there is enough food at that time, I don't know how long we can hold out."
Zhao Qi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and sighed at Zhang Fei's speed.
Why didn't Zhang Fei feel his speed and luck?
"If I don't fight like this in the future, I'm really scared to death, if I'm not careful, I'm afraid I'm going to flee to life and death, and I don't want to lose my official position when the time comes!"
Looking at Zhang Fei's frightened look, Dong Zhuo and Zhao Qi both felt speechless.
This guy is as bold as a fighter, and it is estimated that only at this time will he pretend to say that he is very nervous, in fact, he is not nervous at all, right!
But they really misunderstood Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was really nervous and anxious, otherwise, he would not have returned so quickly.
Such an urgent battle, in his memory, has never been since the battle against the Qiang people in Liangzhou.
After Liu Bei served as the pastor of Liangzhou, he had a stable logistics base, so he could always keep the army in the best condition, and the number of troops was also increasing.
This time, I hope there will be no more in the future.
Well, at least after the heat subsided, after entering the sage time, Zhang Fei felt that he shouldn't be like this, as the commander of the army, he shouldn't be so impatient and rash, he should be calm and composed......
He hypnotized himself like this.
As for whether it will be next time.
I'll talk about that next time.
After that, Zhang Fei let the soldiers have a good rest, and then ate a few hot meals and hot dishes, the food was full, and the meat was also full, and he ate a few meals hard, so that the soldiers adjusted their state to the best, and then chose to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the army of Yanqi.
