Chapter 81 Yiyang - The Battle of Fenbei! (b)
The two armies of Lulu and Lu fought, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was defeated twice, and the Qi army swept the Zhou army all the way with the power of the great victory, chasing the dead and chasing the north, and attacked all the way to the main roads of Yiyang.
However, Yu Wenxian was Yu Wenxian in the end, and immediately reacted, ordering Li Mu to transfer 80,000 troops, mobilize 80,000 soldiers and horses, and build a walled city along the way to deal with the Qi army.
Gao Changgong sent scattered troops to constantly attack and spy on the Zhou army's camp, and on the other hand, sent troops to attack the Zhou army's Dazhai stationed on the main roads in Yiyang, as well as Anyi and other cities.
The Northern Qi side chased and fought fiercely, and the Northern Zhou side was strictly guarded, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Gao Changgong gave a death order, and the Northern Qi entangled the elite all the way to pull out half of the Zhou army's military fortress, Yu Wenxian did not hesitate to fill it with human lives, and soon these walled cities were taken back by the Zhou army.
The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while, and the Qi army and the Zhou army fought very hard.
On the third day, Gao Changgong personally went into battle to supervise the battle, and the Qi army pulled out eight military villages in one go, defeated the Zhou army that came to attack and harassed more than a dozen times, and initially stabilized the victory.
Yu Wenxian was finally provoked, and after estimating the reserves of the Qi army, he ordered the wall to be cleared, and at the same time wrote a letter to Wei Xiaokuan, who was far away in Yubi, asking Wei Xiaokuan to cut off the grain route of the Qi army in Fenbei.
Under the strong expulsion of the Zhou army, the people, whether they wanted to or not, could only leave the place with a small amount of dry food.
At this time, spring is approaching, and it is time for farming, and the expulsion of the people from their homes at this time is undoubtedly a great disaster for the people.
Carrying young children on their backs, with their weak wives, and supporting their parents, they left their homes like this, and everyone who was small was bulging with their bodies, and they brought everything they could, with a sad face, watching the officials and soldiers brutally tear down the earthen walls of their homes, and burn them clean, and the people wept bitterly.
And the captain of the Zhou army was still urging and reprimanding loudly: "...... Wreck! Destroy them all, burn every brick and tile, don't leave anything for the Qi army! Don't leave a place where you can shelter the Qi army! β
The people cursed the Zhou army for a while, especially Yu Wenxian, the commander of the Zhou army, and Yu Wenxian only turned a deaf ear when he heard about it.
Although these people are all the people of the Great Zhou, doing so will make the people lose their hearts, but in Yu Wenxian's view, the interests of the people who have been damaged can be compensated later, and at the moment, there is nothing more important than defeating the Qi army!
The duel between him and Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong has entered a white heat, and the daily battle losses and consumption are amazing, and at this time he can't even have a little mercy and mistakes!
Talking about human nature in the midst of war is really a very naΓ―ve and extravagant thing.
Moreover, even if he did not expel the people, when the Qi army lacked food and grass, he would still go to the people's homes to "fetch it......
He did it...... That's right!
Now I can only pray that Wei Xiaokuan's movements are fast and ruthless enough to cut off the Qi army's grain route, otherwise before Gao Changgong declines, the battle situation of the Zhou army will be unbearable!
As long as there is no food, the combat power of the Qi army will slowly lose and become unmotivated.
As long as Yu Wenxian drags Hu Luguang to death, and then shows his hole cards again, the victory can be decided!
Yu Wenxian looked at the emergency war report flying like snowflakes in front of him, gritted his teeth, and replied with four murderous big characters, "Fight to the death and not retreat!" β
Gao Changgong and several lieutenants looked at the black smoke rising from the countryside in the distance, sighed slightly, and said with admiration:
"Yu Wenxian is really a masterpiece, and when it is decided, it will be decided, so that the grain and grass of our army will not be able to replenish from the people...... It's ruthless! β
Several lieutenant generals were worried, "General, what about us?" β¦β¦β
"Order Fu Fu, Xue Guyan, Qi Lianmeng and other troops, and then attack!"
"But general, in this case, shouldn't our army temporarily slow down the offensive and wait for the rear to supply grain and grass?"
Gao Changgong's pair of clear and deep eyes swept over, and said expressionlessly: "Go and order!" β
The lieutenant general was silent for a moment, but finally obeyed the order, "Obey!" β
The tug-of-war between Yu Wenxian and Gao Changgong has actually evolved into a war of attrition after more than ten days.
Although many military villages were pulled out by the Qi army, and the combat effectiveness of the Qi army was also very strong, the Qi army actually did not take much advantage from the Zhou army.
The Zhou army fought and retreated, gradually bringing into the rhythm of war, and the Qi army maneuvered, and there was quite a rule between advance and retreat, and later the two armies fell into a stalemate.
Qi Lianmeng finally couldn't help but reflect this situation to Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong just asked Qi Lianmeng to prepare carefully, and then there was no follow-up, Qi Lianmeng rushed away angrily.
The Qi army gradually showed its inadequacy, and the generals of the Zhou army saw that the situation had almost stabilized, and they suggested that Yu Wenxian's army press and force Gao Changgong to retreat, but Yu Wenxian was just silent, did not agree, but did not deny it.
He knew that it might not be time yet. Finally, a few days later, Hu Luguang seemed to finally can't help it, and he made a bold move!
Yu Wenxian's eyes lit up, and the time he had been waiting for was finally ripe!
After more than ten days of observation, Hu Luguang seemed to be unable to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and brazenly threw all the remaining soldiers and horses into the war, and launched a majestic attack on the Zhou army Dazhai on the front line of Dinglong and Yiyang!
When countless siege vehicles and rams appeared neatly from the horizon, the generals of the Zhou army defending the city shouted almost in despair,
- The whole army is on alert...... Get ready to fight!! β
40,000 Qi troops in black armor filled the field of vision of the last army's army in Anyi City!
In the formation of the Qi army, more than 30 cows dragged the tall siege building car slowly pressed, and the Zhou army above and below the city tower desperately raised their bows and arrows to shoot at those building cars, and the building car had become like a hedgehog, but still did not stop.
Zhou Jun watched these building cars that were a few points taller than their city towers slowly pressing up, and his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and he was speechless, and even the posture of pulling the bowstring froze, and he watched the shadow of the siege tower car envelop them......
The wooden box door panel on the building car was pushed open at once, and the dense Qi army aimed at the Zhou army standing on the city tower with a longbow.
The general of the Zhou army opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted sharply: "-Squat!" Get down!! β
The Qi army stretched out their bows and buckled the strings, and the dense rain of arrows covered the sun, and locust swarms generally fell overwhelmingly!
Countless clusters of arrows were inserted into Zhou Jun's body, and the sound of screams and arrows piercing into flesh and bones made people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.
Gao Changgong watched expressionlessly as the building car leaned down on the city tower, looked at the cloud ladder erected on the city wall, watched the Qi troops on the building car climb the city tower one after another, watched the Zhou army desperately rush up to the city tower, and watched more Qi troops rush up to the city tower after a bloody battle with the Zhou army, and then ordered: "Demolish this city!" β
Within a day, two cities that the Zhou army had built with great difficulty to besiege Yiyang were demolished into white ground by Gao Changgong.
After Yu Wenxian heard that the Qi army had demolished An Yi, he did not get angry, nor did he lose his soul, but was ecstatic.
"Hahaha! Heaven help me! Yu Wenxian laughed, and in the puzzled eyes of the generals, Yu Wenxian said:
"It seems that the Qi army's food and grass have run out, so Hu Lu Mingyue will do whatever it takes to rescue Yiyang...... It's a pity that it's ......, it's too late! β
Yu Wenxian immediately ordered: "Pass my order!" Let the soldiers and horses of the rest of the garrison hold firmly, and the remaining 70,000 soldiers in the rear army can be mobilized, and the whole army will be pressed! Don't let the Qi army run away! I want to be trapped alive and dead! β
"-Obey!!" The Zhou army's movements were very fast, almost when the Qi army was about to uproot all the strongholds near Yiyang, the military information came from the rear Fu Fu Department, and the Zhou army attacked the Qi army camp again.
Gao Changgong ordered the three battalion commanders to shrink their forces, but the pressure on the Zhou army was still increasing.
So the Qi army once again fell into a stalemate. retreated to the camp where the Zhou army was stationed in the past, but in less than a month, the pressure on the Zhou army also fell on the head of the Qi army, which made people feel that the battle situation was really changing rapidly.
The fierce battle has begun!
Finally, Gao Changgong ordered the whole army to gather and prepare to withdraw, and all the Qi troops who were entangled with the Zhou army should gather at Lulujiao.
Almost overnight, the Qi army dismantled all the camps and retreated to Lulujiao in an orderly manner in different directions.
After Qi Lianmeng heard the military order, he kicked the camp tent over with an angry kick and scolded angrily:
"Gao Changgong, this kid, just has no hair on his mouth and can't handle things well! A battle that was supposed to be smooth sailing, under his command, was brutally beaten like this! Zuo Xiangming I, why did he choose this kid to resist the Liang!? β
The adjutant general also sighed and dissuaded: "The military has come to this point, just obey the arrangement of the main account, as for Gao Changgong, he will not be able to escape the blame for the defeat this time!"
When we withdraw, we can impeach him in front of the left prime minister! β¦β¦ For now, we should take the withdrawal of our troops first. β
Qi Lianmeng was still depressed, nodded indignantly, and said, "Wait until I rush out and settle accounts with him!" Now order the whole army, dismantle the battalion, and prepare to retreat! β
The Zhou army sensed the abnormal movement of the Qi army, and also sent a large number of soldiers and horses to chase and intercept it.
The Dinglong and Yiyang generations are like a pot of porridge, a mess.
At dawn, Qi Lianmeng's troops and the Zhou army met unexpectedly, and without any warning, Qi Lianmeng's horse army took the lead in charging the Zhou army!
As for the two armies to make a battle post first, give each other a speech, and then slash and kill the game has been extinct in the Spring and Autumn Period, if you want to fight, who likes to discuss with you more?
Anytime, anywhere, as long as the main general wants to go to war, then you can go to war!
More than 3,000 cavalry pulled out from a distance, the hooves sounded like thunder, forming a huge triangle in the shape of an awl, and this huge triangle is composed of hundreds of small awls, more than ten cavalry as a group, thousands of cavalry as an army, rushing towards the Zhou army!
The cavalry on the two wings in front slowly dispersed, and branches drooped from under the horse's belly, and the branches dragged to the ground, raising dust in the sky, and crashed headlong into the shaping of the Zhou army!
The Zhou army was fascinated by the billowing smoke and dust, and the cavalry of the Qi army rushed into the formation again, and the soldiers and horses in the rear didn't know what was happening in front of them at all.
There are faint signs of loosening in the formation...... Now is the time!
Qi Lian waved back, and the Ma Jun split straight through the middle, split into two strands, and crashed towards both sides of the Zhou army!
"The Qi army is here!"
"Hold on to your formation! Ahem...... quickly stabilize the formation!! β
The Zhou army didn't have time to react, and the fierce cavalry of Qi Lian had reached the maximum horse speed after five miles of acceleration, climbed the slopes on both sides, and then pressed down on both sides of the Zhou army, unstoppable!
Under the canopy, the Qi army was like two sharp scimitars, stabbing into the flesh and blood of the Zhou army, cutting off the Zhou army from the middle!
The Qi army rushed into the Zhou army and slashed wantonly, the captain and the team were constantly giving orders under the support of more than ten cavalrymen, avoiding a few spears that stabbed at the slanted side, and looked back, this small formation was still intact, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, follow the brigade! Separate the Zhou army from Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu wants to cut off their heads one by one! β
The horse team of the Qi army followed most of the people, but it was flexibly and independently divided, like a small knife to cut and tear the flesh and blood of the giant Zhou Jun, and then swallowed it into the stomach in one gulp.
Qi Lian Meng borrowed the speed of the horse, the spear pierced through the two Zhou soldiers, and struggled to throw away the Zhou army who surrounded him and smashed him to the ground, and the horse's hooves kicked on the abdomen of the Zhou army, and the intestines were rotten in an instant.
Qi Lian wiped a handful of blood from his face and shouted, "Sons, kill with me!" β
At this time, the remaining Qi army infantry also rushed into the chaotic army, and there was a sound of slashing and killing.
The Zhou army was at a disadvantage, and several resistances organized by the Qi army were collapsed, and the momentum was completely lost for a while.
Soon, a large army of Qi troops that emerged from there rushed in, united inside and outside, and swallowed up the soldiers and horses of this Zhou army!
Qi Lian slashed the last slash, and the body of the general of the Zhou Army fell limply from above on horseback.
Qi Lian looked at the reinforcements in front of him, and a knight with a hideous ghost face stepped forward.
Qi Lianmeng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he had never had such a big reaction even when he met Zhou Zhoujun, as if he was his father-killing enemy in front of him, "Gao Changgong!" You can't escape the blame for this defeat! I will impeach you fiercely to Your Majesty and punish you for your crimes!" β
Gao Changgong was still sitting upright on his horse, unresponsive.
Qi Lian was angry, and at that time, he lifted the long knife that had already been cut into a saw, and wanted to pull Gao Changgong off the horse.
Gao Changgong's lieutenant generals and guards stepped forward one after another, and the fierce sergeants also drew their swords one after another, and the two sides glared at each other, as long as one person made the first move, it would be a big battle in the blink of an eye!
"Presumptuous! Stop it! Gao Changgong stopped the sergeants on both sides, took off the ghost face, revealed a handsome face, and said to Qi Lianmeng:
"When the army is all withdrawn to Lulujiao, you can impeach me in front of the left minister, I have nothing to say, but now, what we have to do is to evacuate immediately!"
Qi Lianmeng still stared at him, put the long knife into the sheath, and said, "Hmph, I see how you shirk responsibility this time!" β
