Chapter 325: The fierce Da Xi Changru
Xiazhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was once the capital of Hu Xia Helian clan, Helian Bo drove countless people to build this city.
The terrain is dangerous, so I won't talk about it...... Yu Wenxian really wanted to break his head and couldn't figure out how this city was lost, if Xiazhou City had not been lost to the enemy, why would he be so fortunate now, and he couldn't take it down if he lost his troops.
In the inner part of the city near the walls, the Turks dug numerous trenches and demolished all the houses near the walls. Those who dare to jump into the city will be chopped to pieces, if not immediately to death, by the enemy who swarm them.
Therefore, in the face of the white-brown towering city wall, after several Zhou armies arrived one after another, they were still at a loss. No matter how Yu Wenxian instigated, no one dared to step forward anymore.
Just two days ago, he issued a "first entry, upgrade to three levels, reward thousands of households!" After the general order, the generals under his command were still arguing for this merit.
There is no one who is not red-eyed under the huge reward. Both the Hanmen and the family wanted a chance to make a name for themselves, and through the coordination of Yu Wenxian, the strong men who actively asked for battle were divided into thirteen orders, and each shift attacked for two hours. If it cannot be taken within two hours, the next shift will take over the attack, and the vanguard will be converted to an auxiliary attack.
Yang Jian was dissatisfied with Yu Wenxian's arrangement, and muttered to himself: "Yu Wenxian wants to inspire the morale of the army, this is really too stingy, only a thousand households, if it is replaced by me, it will be the reward of ten thousand households...... Besides, wouldn't such a round of attacks become a war to add fuel to the fire? One by one, go up and deliver food to the Turks? It's not wise, it seems that this Yu Wenxian is not worthy of the name, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
As if to confirm his thoughts, Yang Jian stayed at the forefront for two days in a row, watching how Yu Wenxian was going to break the city. The first battalion, led by a Lang general from the Li clan in Longxi, took the lead in attacking the city. The offensive lasted from morning to noon, and more than 400 Northern Zhou soldiers were killed in battle, but it could not add another half a cent to the gap in the city.
In the afternoon, General Li surnamed Lang lost his soldiers, cried incessantly, and tied himself to the Chinese army to ask for guilt. Yu Wenxian was in full view of everyone, but it was not easy to punish him, but he took it lightly, and Haosheng persuaded him, ordered the three armies to rest, and pressed the second batch of orders.
Under the cover of strong bows and crossbows, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty carried soil bags to the city, trying to fill in the trenches and build a flat avenue. The Turks saw through the Northern Zhou Dynasty and panicked, and shot the Zhou army with bows and arrows, but the Zhou army carried sandbags and failed to cover, and after a round of fighting, the trench had not had time to be filled, and it had been killed and wounded heavily, and it was defeated before it was dark.
After yesterday's defeat, the Zhou army learned a little lesson, gave up filling the trench, five shifts together, picked out the crossbowmen to charge, and built an earthen platform sixty steps away, when the Zhou army attacked the city, the crossbowmen immediately attacked, and the Turkic crossbowmen shot down, and the Turkic arrangements were immediately disrupted, and the two armies almost shot each other face to face under the city!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Zhou army sent the dead to rush to the city with a ladder. But the numerical disadvantage could not be filled up at once, and after a period of panic, the Turks immediately called more people to come immediately, so the Zhou army was at an absolute disadvantage. After a day of bloody fighting, the Zhou army finally filled in the moat and demolished fifteen fences, but more than 30% of the men and horses were killed or wounded!
After several rounds of bloody battles, the generals and soldiers who came with the heart of meritorious service found that the credit was not as easy as they imagined, and their morale dropped at a very fast pace. Yu Wenxian didn't have any consciousness of defeat, but just ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and fight again in the coming day.
It is impossible for the armies to be without complaints, and many generals have complained to their superiors, saying that Yu Wenxian is in trouble. But Yu Wenxian is the boss after all, he has an extremely important and legitimate reason for attacking Xiazhou City, even they can't say anything, they just run to Yu Wenxian to complain for a few days in a row, to the effect that the family is only a little bit, and begging Yu Wenxian to raise his noble hand and not fight it out.
However, it didn't work, how Yu Wenxian should be. The generals at the bottom were muttering there:
"We shouldn't just attack that. The more single the point of attack, the more beneficial it is for the defender. Rather than letting tens of thousands of troops drain under the city, it is better to first attract the attention of the enemy army with a frontal feint, and then send surprise troops to attack the city from other directions. Kill in the city in several directions at the same time, I don't believe that the Turkic barbarians can still sit still, Guogong doesn't know what to think, and exhaust the military strength of my army in vain! ”
The art of war is cloudy, and ten rules surround it. Considering the current difference in the number of soldiers between the enemy and us, the Zhou army does not have any advantage at all, and the most suitable tactic should be to lure the Turks out of the city and wait for an opportunity to fight with them.
However, Yu Wenxian wasted his inferior military strength in the city, which is very unwise! For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the army, but Yang Jian found something else from it......
“…… Yu Wenxian is not that stupid, he does this, either he is really carried away by anger, or he is really stupid, but is it possible? ”
Yang Jian noticed that among the Daoshu Road army, only the military horse of Weinan Taishou Da Xi Changru had not been used, "The cost of multi-way assault is too great, and without an army that has been established for more than two years, it will not dare to fight the Turks at all...... In the past two days, I have seen other soldiers and horses, only Daxi Changru's department is the most elite and fierce, and they are all children of good families recruited by Zheng'er Bajing. The military discipline is strict, the momentum is fierce, and Da Xi Changru is a ruthless character who can fight habitually, why didn't Yu Wenxian let him go out? ”
Yang Jian thought hard for a long time and didn't get an answer, but he understood one thing, Yu Wenxian would not be stupid enough to let his soldiers die in vain. When it comes to the talent of the commander, Yang Jian thinks that he is far inferior to Yu Wenxian, since he can't guess it, he simply doesn't guess, so he waits to see how Yu Wenxian wants to act in the future.
However, Yu Wenxian's actions after that made people even more confused, he simply stopped attacking the city, and rested under the city for several days, sending a small army to feint Xiazhou from time to time to harass the enemy army, but he just didn't engage in battle.
This wave of operations has caused the generals under his command to discuss, what does Qi Guogong want? Soon everyone knew what Yu Wenxian wanted to do, and after being bored for four days, a sentry horse came to report, saying that a Turkic army of 10,000 horsemen was heading south, and the target was Xiazhou! Yu Wenxian took the case when he got up, it was not timidity, it was joy to see the hunt! He looked around and said, "My army can do it in one fell swoop!" ”
The generals felt more and more that Qi Guogong had taken the wrong medicine, tired of the expedition, and the morale of the army had been frustrated. Where did he get the confidence?
As for Da Xi Changru, because of his obscurity for many days, he has been selectively forgotten by everyone. They had the heart to dissuade them, but Yu Wenxian would not listen to them. He ordered himself:
"Don't intercept the vanguard of the Turks, let them in! The armies obeyed the order, threw down all their baggage and property, and retreated ten miles, and not a single soldier was allowed to be mobilized without my order! ”
Only then did everyone gradually come back to their senses, Yu Wenxian's previous set of refueling tactics did not intend to capture Xiazhou City at all, he just wanted to make the Turks have the illusion that the Zhou army was brewing a severe blow, and it didn't matter if it was successful or not. The key is to welcome the reinforcements of the Turks, and as for the previous losses, it is the right to train the troops.
"Da Xi Changru!" Yu Wenxian shouted again.
"The last general!" Da Xi Changru was full of energy, and everyone suddenly had one person in Yu Wenxian's handsome tent, Da Xi Changru was calm and energetic, although he already had gray hair on his sideburns, but the temperament of iron-blooded killing became more and more obvious. In recent years, he has been a marginalized figure forgotten by the Northern Zhou court, if it wasn't for Yu Wenxian taking the initiative to mention it, everyone would have almost forgotten that the Northern Zhou Dynasty still had such a capable role.
Everyone suddenly remembered that he was also one of the main generals of various armies, and he had only recently defeated the Turkic army in Jingzhou. Yu Wenxian was full of confidence and said: "I want you to be the vanguard and defeat the Turkic army, can you do it?" Da Xi frowned and arched his hand: "The handsome wants me to charge, I have nothing to say, rush is it!" ”
"Good, good!" Yu Wenxian was overjoyed, and then ordered: "Most of the troops are retreating, and I will leave a team of soldiers and horses to garrison here, and when the Turks are about to arrive, I will make a look of despair and flee...... The Turks are greedy, and they have been suppressed by our army for many days, thinking that they have the chance to win, and they must be unprepared, and when they open the city gates and loot the wealth, you will lead the army to stand out! Defeat the Turks in one fell swoop! ”
In this way, Yu Wenxian's previous actions are clear. The generals were overjoyed, but Yang Jian was the only one who was silent, and there was a faint sense of frustration in his heart. Yu Wenxian's planning was very thorough, a set of consecutive moves were defeated, there was no mistake or omission, since the defeat of the Fenzhou army, Yu Wenxian's commander's talent has been sharpened more and more outstanding. If it was replaced by Yang Jian, he would never have thought of this.
The Turks rode southward, wanting to relieve the siege of Xiazhou and fight a tough battle, who would have thought that as soon as they arrived, they would see the Zhou army fleeing in a hurry, even ignoring the camp tent and baggage, so they had contempt and ridicule for the Zhou army. When the Turks in the city saw the arrival of reinforcements and witnessed the cowardly performance of the Zhou army, they also laughed and cursed, opened the city gates, and cooperated with the reinforcements to fight.
The Zhou army's grain, grass, baggage, and wealth were all lost in the camp, and many Turks joined in the looting! The rest of the Turkic army divided their routes, went in the direction of the Zhou army's escape, and outflanked them in a roundabout way! They didn't see that in the valley not far away, there was an iron horse still watching on the side! Da Da ...... With the sound of horses' hooves, a military flag slowly poked out of the valley.
The flag was torn by the hot wind, hunted and shook straight in the wind! With the appearance of the flag, a general in heavy armor slowly appeared, he was dressed in brown heavy armor, wearing a shiny iron helmet and visor......
It was dusk, the sun was about to set, and the glow shrouded them like a burning flame! Da Xi Changru stood in place and raised his horsewhip towards the back of the Turks! A few larks fluttered their wings to the top of the clouds in amazement, and from the perspective of these creatures with a keen sense of danger, thousands of cavalry were like a long dragon of steel, swooping down on the backs of the Turkic army......
And the barbarians, who are indulging in the thrill of burning, killing and plundering, are defenseless against this!
……
……
Two days later, Jinyang, Gao Wei was playing on the couch with his son after taking a bath, and suddenly someone sent him information about Zhou Guo, Gao Wei's mood became a little complicated after reading it: "...... Three thousand to forty thousand? What the heck? ”
Of course, this is the news that Yu Wenxian broke the Turkic army, Gao Wei also paid attention to this, among which Da Xi Changru's performance was the most eye-catching, as a partial army, not only defeated most of the Turks in one fell swoop, but also took advantage of the situation to recapture Xiazhou City, and Yu Wenxian attacked on both sides, almost annihilating the Turkic army, and his performance in this battle was not amazing.
But the hero of the enemy country, the enemy of Cushman and the enemy. Cushman & Wakefield thinks he has a strong foundation and is bold, but he can't help but have a toothache after seeing this brilliant record.
Is this Nima still human?
Although he has long known that the Northern and Southern Dynasties are a monster concentration camp with famous generals blowing out, and hundreds of years of bloody battles have given birth to martial arts and countless famous generals, but to be honest, he doesn't have much intuitive opinion, and it is only now that he understands that the reason why a famous general is called a famous general is indeed its own horror!
The stinky boy was climbing up and down on his father to play happily, and suddenly saw that his father was not moving, his face was very dark, a little strange, and he reached out to pull his father's cheek. Cushman & Wakefield reacted at this time, but he didn't have the heart to tease the child now. Silently thinking in his heart, although Zhou Guo can't see it now, but the basic plate of Guanzhong is still there, and the foundation is still strong, if he is a little careless, I am afraid that he can really teach Yuwen Yong salted fish to turn over, how can this be tolerated?
It seems that during the period of recuperation of the Northern Qi court, the encroachment on Hedong still cannot be relaxed, but this alone does not seem to play a decisive role......
What should I do?
