Chapter 152: Breaking the Zhou Division (II)
In Yiyang, the war lasted from March to mid-August.
Yu Wenchun was under great pressure, and last month, he received a total of four urgent papers.
Whether it is Otsuka Zaiyu Wenhu who is in the Longmen remote control battle, or Yuwen Yong, the imperial brother who is in Chang'an, they are urging him to take Yiyang quickly.
Yuwen Hu was naturally angry because of annoyance, it was his strategy to beat Yiyang at the beginning, but now Yiyang did not take it, but Fenbei and Fennan were all lost, which made him feel that his face was damaged and his authority in the Great Zhou court would be reduced.
On the one hand, he hopes that the Zhou army can sweep away the decline of successive defeats since the confrontation with the Qi army, on the other hand, Yuwenchun, Yuwenxian, Yuwenzhi, etc., as the descendants of Emperor Gao Yuwentai, if he can make great contributions in this battle, then he can justifiably put the brothers of the royal family into the army, lay a solid foundation in the court, and resist Yuwenhu.
Yu Wenchun's position is difficult to understand, but no matter how much he wants to get closer to that side, the premise is that he must take Yiyang, especially Fu Fu.
Therefore, in order to take Yiyang, Yu Wenchun was digging out his heart and lungs, and for several months, he gave a death order, mobilized the Zhou army to storm Yiyang City, and also transferred troops from the surrounding Zhou counties and counties, and constantly invested manpower, and did everything to cut off Fu Fu's head.
But no one thought that the Yiyang army, which had suffered a series of heavy blows, was not bluffed at all, but was blessed by misfortune.
Under the pressure of the enemy, the two opposing forces within the Xianbei and Han quickly gave up their previous suspicions, mustered up their strength to unite with the outside world, and reached an agreement on the reorganization of the army. The vast majority of the people in Fu Fu's army are Han Chinese, and a small part of them are Baibao Xianbei, all of whom are absolute elites.
The majority of the high-level leaders are Xianbei generals, and the difference in culture, as well as the prejudice of Xianbei and Han people against each other, makes it difficult for them to fit together, but now in the face of huge pressure from the Zhou army, they have begun to huddle......
There is food to eat together, there is a battle to fight together, this sudden unity, not to mention the soldiers below, even the generals themselves are in a daze, feeling like they are dreaming. According to the usual practice, it must be that the Xianbei soldiers and the Xianbei Han people can get superior treatment, and the most difficult battles are also on these people, but now it is different, the Xianbei people and the Han people go into battle together, and they only then find that the Han people are no worse than them in the war, and they are very fierce.
In extraordinary times, a lot of things happen naturally.
This situation is not an exception, Duan Shao and Hu Luguang both think that the army needs to run in, and the best way to prevent chaos in the army because of the view of the door is to gather them all together, live and die together. This is also what His Majesty meant.
Fu Fu likes to personally go into battle to boost the morale of the sergeants, and the food and clothing are the same as the soldiers, and many times, he also gives a little bit of supplies from himself to the sergeants below, which makes him very loved by his subordinates.
He can enjoy the blessings with the soldiers, when Zuo Xiang left, in order to reward Fu Fu, he sent a jar of imperial tribute wine, he poured the wine syrup into the well water, and let every soldier go to fetch water to drink, although it is light and tasteless, it can taste the heart; He can also share hardships with the soldiers, every time the Zhou army comes to attack, he always stands at the head of the city, and after fighting large and small battles, he has been wounded in more than 80 places......
Although he always has a black face and enforces military rules very strictly, the whole army knows that the general is a good man, a man who can shelter soldiers from the wind and rain and lead everyone through difficulties......
At this time, even the enemies on the opposite side who are several times more than them are no longer afraid, they are a ball!
So Zhou Jun was very depressed, why were those Qi troops on the other side more and more afraid of death?
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, a conflict finally broke out between Yu Wenchun and Tian Hong.
Tian Hong is cautious in his use of troops, but he is not good at winning by surprise. Yu Wenchun is young, has a lot of ideas, uses soldiers erratically, and has active thinking, but often lacks careful consideration, and the cooperation between the two can be described as complementary and perfect. But now, the two have a split in their views on the battle situation......
"We must not rush! Be steady, so you have a chance of winning! Veteran Tian Hong said.
"When is this, old general, do you still have to think about it in the long run?" Yu Wenchun's eye bags were a little blue, his handsome face turned the color of pig liver, and his saliva was flying, "By the time we take Yiyang, Otsuka Zai will have already returned from Fenbei!" At that time, how will you and I face Otsuka Zai? ”
Tian Hong shook his head again and again, and said: "The last general still disagrees with His Highness's idea, Fu Fu has a hand in using soldiers, it is difficult to find flaws, we can't be in a hurry, talk to him about it......"
Yu Wenchun is young and vigorous in the end, coupled with a few months of defeat, he can't control his emotions, one sentence; "Old general, you shouldn't be afraid, right?" Blurt out.
He regretted it when he said it, but Yu Wenchun was already riding a tiger at this time, and then he continued: "I am the commander of the army, and I will control the armies, the old general has been fortunate these days, go down and rest for a few days......"
This is to seize Tian Hong's power, Tian Hong looked at him in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed and threw the curtain away. Yu Wenchun frowned, and ordered: "Gather all the soldiers and horses of our army, put them on the battlefield, and within half a month, I will take Yiyang!" ”
The Zhou army fought hard, and the Qi army's defense was difficult, Yu Wenchun re-scattered and remade the battalions according to the previous establishment, and stepped up the battle with the Qi army according to the surrounding favorable terrain. But Fu Fu was not a vegetarian either, and he quickly prepared, and from mid-August to the end of August, although there were more victories and fewer defeats, the Zhou army could no longer create better results......
The large-scale withdrawal of the Zhou army south of Yiyang and Dinglong made Gao Yanzong very happy, and the main force of the Zhou army withdrew from the walled cities around Yiyang, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to sneak attack? But he was not in a hurry, and while opening the passage to the north of Dinglong, he collected news from Yiyang.
The Zhou army was mainly divided into two groups, one was a miscellaneous team composed of Hu and Qiang, and the other was the elite of the government army composed of a mixture of Han and Xianbei. The two Zhou armies were about the same in number, but their combat effectiveness was very different.
After many battles, Gao Yanzongjun found that the Zhou army was not so difficult to fight, and summed up the experience.
If you encounter a Zhou army dominated by horizontal knives and light-armored spears, you must be cautious. Although their equipment is similar to that of the Qi army, or even worse, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. If you encounter the kind of clothes and armor that are distinct and ununiform, and everyone rides horses and carries knives, congratulations, you have picked up a big fish, don't run, this is a gift from God......
This is probably the ancient version of guerrilla warfare, which was used by Gao Yanzong like fire. Yu Wenchun also expressed a little worry after hearing about the chaos on Dinglong's side, and then there was no more, in his opinion, Yiyang has fallen into his hands, even if Dugu Yongye continues to make trouble, it will not help, a miscellaneous miscellaneous with an unknown master is not worthy of his attention at all......
He didn't know that the Zhou army entrenched in Dinglong was being uprooted one by one by the efficient guerrilla warfare of the Qi army, Yiyang Dinglong, and there was a dramatic scene in the two close battles, Fu Fuzai and Yuwenchun fought to the death, while Gao Yanzong was eating a mouthful of oil behind them, completely forgetting that there were still people waiting for rescue in Yiyang......
Yuwenchun really attaches importance to the small Qi army behind it is half a month later, the Zhou army fought on three sides, and the grain transportation channels in two aspects had to pass through Dinglong, Gao Yanzong frequently attacked and disturbed the grain road of the Zhou army, looted the people, and the general of the Zhuguo State who was responsible for escorting the grain and grass Yu Wensheng and Gao Yanzong rode the battle, Gao Yanzong broke the Yuwensheng army, and the grain road of the Zhou army was cut off ......, and the war shocked the world!
At this time, the most passive, but also belong to the far away in Fenbei Yuwen Hu, the Zhou army has been fighting with the Qi army to the white heat, at this time by Gao Yanzong is not to ask for his life, Yuwen Hu is anxious, while sending more men and horses back to the division to destroy Gao Yanzong, while ordering the Zhou army that has not made progress for many days on the side of Yao Xiang to stop the attack and return to the same state.
"Haha...... Yuwen can't protect him, he wants to run...... Hehe......" Duan Shao made a conclusion.
Hu Luguang also smiled, "Yuwen Hu, this old thief, is a good hand at gaining power, this military strategy, don't mention it......"
The generals below also discussed.
"At the beginning, Wei Xiaokuan specially explained to him that he couldn't fight Yiyang, but people didn't listen, seeing that the Zhou Kingdom had risen up over the years, he couldn't say that he would fight us back to 20 years ago in the first battle......"
"This man has always been stubborn and self-serving......"
Speaking of Wei Xiaokuan, Hu Luguang's face sank, this old turtle, if he can't beat him head-on, he will play three indiscriminate tricks, it's really hateful!
His Majesty's secret edict has instructed him to be the governor of Fenzhou and control the military affairs of the five states, and when he has his hands free, he has time to play slowly with Wei Xiaokuan......
Duan Shao ordered: "I will, from tomorrow...... The whole army was dispatched, the main force was mobilized by Hulu Mingyue, and the rest of the armies, divided into five routes, compressed the Zhou army, and forced it to retreat ......"
"When I defeat Yuwen Hu, Wei Xiangyuan will lead a thousand people to rescue Yao Xiang, Gao Changgong, lead an army by himself, and go south from Xinjiang...... Rushed to Jiangjun and Shaozhou, passed through the Qiziling ......, went straight to Dinglong, and galloped to the aid of Gao Yanzong......"
Zhou Qi fought until now, Zhou and Qi won and lost each other, the Zhou army Fennan and Fenbei fell into the hands of the Qi army, and more than ten cities such as Yiyang of the Qi army also entered the pocket of the Zhou State.
The lesson of this time...... It's going to be profound!
