Chapter 79: The One Who Takes the North Mountain First Wins
Before Xu Li could speak, all the wounded knelt down and thanked him: "The general has mercy on the wounded, and Xu Qing is the wounded general, and he is really benevolent!" ”
Xu Li said: "I hope that the general will not think of the wounded and make a deal as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Hao said: "It's his original wish!" ”
handed over the wounded barracks to Xu Li, and Zhao Hao seemed to let go of a major matter. Immediately overtake the front, assign a battalion to protect the wounded, and the rest of the battalions advance in turn.
Along the way, wounded soldiers and officers joined the wounded barracks, but under Xu Li's command, the speed of the wounded barracks did not slow down much.
Although Zhao Hao knew that it was no longer meaningful to go to Yanhe, the front army had already been brought by Zhao Kuo with a rapid march, and he could only rush to Yanhe with a rapid march as originally planned. Along the way, the bodies of soldiers who were seriously injured or killed by falling directly can be seen lying at the bottom of the mountain.
After climbing the mountain for a day, Zhao Hao's former army met Zhao Kuo's wounded barracks. Zhao Kuo's camp of wounded soldiers was really walking too slowly, and the front army would let them dodge the road and let their battalions pass first; They could wait until the rear army arrived, and then enter the wounded soldiers' camp capacity.
After another day of walking, Zhao Hao's former army reported that he had joined forces with Zhao Kuo. At this time, Xu Li's wounded battalion also joined Zhao Kuo's wounded battalion.
Although the number of Zhao Kuo's front was small, it carried out a high-intensity rapid march, and the wounded soldiers exceeded 1,000; Zhao Hao's team was large in number and did not force the way, Xu Li traveled all the way, and the wounded were less than five hundred, and there was a battalion of soldiers to assist on the side. Seeing the more than 1,000 soldiers and officers scattered in the snow for almost a day, Xu Li was shocked and hurriedly ordered the wounded barracks to stop advancing and urgently accommodate this group of wounded. Seeing that the weather was getting darker, Xu Li simply stopped moving forward and lit a fire on the spot to rescue the wounded.
He had the wounded of the wounded soldiers in the battalion examine the wounds of the wounded soldiers, and if the blood flow stopped, they rubbed their feet with snow until their feet were red and hot; If there are signs of suppuration, be sure to squeeze out the pus and blood, and then rub your feet with snow. After rubbing their feet, each person pulls half of his clothes and pressurizes and wraps his feet tightly. When Xu Li rescued the wounded on the way, he demonstrated to them, and they also experienced the rescue process themselves, and they did a good job of drawing gourds in the same way; The soldiers of the other battalion also practiced this set of operations in the process of fighting. Two or three people reminded each other to wait for one person, and it had taken more than an hour to deal with all the thousand wounded.
After Xu Li's treatment, the pain of these wounded was significantly reduced, and the speed of movement naturally accelerated. It only took one day to enter Zhao Hao's camp.
This was the position that was originally intended to block the retreat of the Qin army, but in fact, it was still fifty miles away from Yanhe. But Zhao Hao had stayed here all day, and he could not advance: the valley in front had been blocked by the enemy.
After Hu Yang left the city, Gongzi commanded the Han army to take over the position surrounding the city. He only got a report that Shangdang Shou had already taken the Qin army out of Shangdang from Shangdang, and he didn't know that it was only the rear army of Wang Ling who came down the mountain, nor did he know that Hu Yang had actually driven directly to Handan with the front army and the Chinese army, and even the movement of Bian Wangling after coming down the mountain was unknown.
After completing the encirclement of Zhao's army, he sent envoys into the city of Yanhe to demand that Zhao Shou surrender, but Zhao Shou flatly refused. It was the middle of winter, the weather was already cold, and in the high mountains, the temperature was lower, and the wind was blowing from time to time, and the rain and snow were more frequent than the mountains. The South Korean army was so cold that it was difficult to hold the strings, and various units demanded a suspension of the offensive. Seeing that the troops were about to disperse, Gongzi placed the troops in various settlements to avoid the cold. Seeing this situation, Yan and Shou did not take the initiative to go out of the city to challenge. The battle between the two sides magically reached a truce! A thousand Zhao troops lived in barracks in the city, with only routine patrols. The 30,000 Han troops and nearly 10,000 Wei troops were scattered in the gathering of Yan and Heyi to avoid the cold and eat. - Because it was too cold, the weather was not good, and the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, the South Korean army was not only reluctant to attack, but also unwilling to take the mountain road home again! Walking all day in the bitter cold wind is terrifying to think about; If there is still rain and snow, it is the end of the world! The tacit but tacit agreement between the two sides is: wait until the weather is warm! Only the closed gates indicate that this place is still at war! Coincidentally, the Qin army and the Zhao army under the mountain also tacitly did not start a war with each other during this time, and each entered Juyi to live, and the days of the Qin people on the guest side seemed to be more nourishing than the days of the main Zhao army. It's a big world, and there's no wonder!
Just when Yan and the army of the Three Kingdoms were living a small life, Zhao Kuo came with his troops.
Zhao Kuo's arrival naturally alarmed Yan and the three parties. The Wei army is currently stationed in Yi, far away from Yanhe, and has not moved for the time being. The Korean army stationed in Yanhe could not stand still. No matter how much they resist in their hearts, they have to be strong and stubborn and come out to fight. This force has no tacit understanding with them, and if they don't resist, they may have to sacrifice their heads. They received news that the Zhao army that came to support was only a few thousand, and it should not be difficult to win by pressing them over with superior forces. But when they came out of their houses, lined up, and rushed out of the valley, there were thousands of people on the other side! The camp stretches for more than ten miles, and there are more than 10,000!
The front army of the ROK army immediately stopped its advance and reported to the rear. At the same time, on the one hand, a defensive position was put on, and on the other hand, a camp was built.
As soon as Zhao Hao set up the camp fence, he saw the enemy troops pouring out, and hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy. The camp built by Zhao Kuo was originally to defend against the Qin army, and the Zhao army was on the west side of the fortress; Now that the Korean army is coming west from Taniguchi, Zhao Hao will take advantage of it and withdraw his troops to the east of the camp. The Korean army did not attack, and allowed the Zhao army to retreat behind the camp and hold on.
When Xu Li arrived, it was the node where the Han army first arrived and the Zhao army retreated.
When the wounded soldiers arrived at the camp, they saw the sound of gold in the Zhao military camp, and the Zhao army retreated one after another, and they were at a loss for a while. Xu Li ordered sharply, and the whole army immediately lined up and must not be shaken!
Xu Li currently has 500 elite soldiers and about 1,500 wounded soldiers, totaling 2,000 people. According to Xu Li's arrangement, they were lined up in four columns on the spot: the elite soldiers were in the front, and the wounded soldiers came first and arrived first, and stood behind the elite soldiers in turn. The 500 elite soldiers will be responsible for lining up the formation, while Xu Li will arrange the wounded to the corresponding positions one by one, and temporarily appoint Wu, Shi Chang and 100 generals.
In the process of arranging up, the wounded soldiers have already seen that Zhao Jun did not encounter an accident, but just retreated to the back of the barracks. And those who entered the position to defend suddenly saw a majestic army behind them, thinking that it was a strange soldier arranged by Zhao Hao, and they were also in a good mood.
Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief after a tense camp adjustment, and when he looked back, he found an army neatly lined up at the rear of the camp. Zhao Hao was startled, he didn't know where this army came from, and turned around and walked this way. Xu Li saw Zhao Hao coming over, and stepped forward to report: "The wounded soldiers have returned from the battalion, please pay the order!" Only then did Zhao Hao know that these were wounded soldiers who were disdained by others.
The 500-strong general also stepped forward to report: "Our battalion has been ordered to escort the wounded soldiers back to the battalion, please give the order!" ”
Zhao Hao said loudly: "You are all my Zhao people!" The wounded soldiers struck the ground and shouted, "Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”
Zhao Haofu said loudly: "You are all men!" The wounded soldier struck the ground again and shouted, "Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”
Zhao Hao turned to Xu Li and said: "You have collected too many wounded soldiers, so you will guard the generals!" ”
Xu Li said loudly: "Oh! Fu whispered: "Dare to advance with military affairs!" ”
Zhao Hao looked at Xu Li strangely, took him to a place where there was no one, and said, "You should know my military order!" ”
Xu Li said: "The minister is willing to die with a word!" ”
Zhao Hao stared at Xu Li and said, "You can say it." ”
Xu Li said: "The Qin people didn't expect Zhao Shi to come here, and he was vigorous, and the general would gather his battle to wait for him." Otherwise, they will be defeated. ”
Zhao Hao was very excited and said, "Please accept the order!" ”
Xu Li said: "Please punish the quality." ”
Zhao Hao said: "After Xu, it will be in Handan." Now under military orders! “
Xu Li said: "Respectfully! “
Zhao Hao said: "Yes, 15,000 will be paid to you, where should you be thicker?" “
Xu Liyi pointed to the high mountain road north of the valley mouth: "The one who is on the north mountain first wins, and the one who comes later loses." “
Zhao Hao said: "You are the guard, lead 10,000 troops to capture Beishan!" “
Zhao Hao handed over all the 10,000 people he brought to Xu Li, handed over his banner to him, and ordered Zhao Kuo to assist.
Xu Li took off his winter clothes, threw them on the ground, and shouted with a halberd: "All light their clothes and go up the mountain." He let Zhao Kuo follow, and he was the first to rush to the mountain. When Zhao Jun heard the order, he didn't know why, but when he saw that Zhao Kuo also took off his winter clothes, the rest of the generals also took off their winter clothes and quickly followed Xu Li. When the sergeants saw that the commander was like this, they all took off their winter clothes and rushed towards the hill in a swarm. As a result, Zhao Hao's banner rushed to the front, followed by the banners of the officers, and the non-commissioned officers did not form a team and climbed separately. Zhao Hao saw it at the bottom of the mountain and couldn't stop shaking his head!
The partial general who came up with Zhao Kuo first said to Zhao Hao: "If you don't form a rank, how can you meet the enemy!" Isn't it a rebellion! “
Zhao Hao said: "You will stop the Qin army in the valley." “
The general didn't know what to say, so he had to answer: "Respectfully! “
The north mountain of the valley leads directly to the valley of the valley, and whoever occupies the high mountain is in sight, and all the deployments of the other party are in sight. Xu Li was the first to rush to the top of the mountain, and when he looked down, the Han army was also moving towards the mountain, and there were quite a few of them. Xu Li yelled: "Push the stone!" “
Pick up a rock and throw it down the mountain. The young officers who followed behind did the same (the older officers could no longer keep up with their physical strength), and they all picked up stones and threw them down; In an instant, fist-sized stones flew down the mountain, causing chaos in the opposing camp. Xu Li saw that there were more people coming up, and ordered: "The Wu pushes the boulder!" “
So in groups of five, they pushed huge stones down the mountain. Now the density of the stones is smaller, but the sound is even more amazing, and from time to time someone screams! After a few rounds of boulder pushing, Xu Li saw that his side had almost come up, and the other party had already rushed to within thirty steps, so he shouted and rushed straight down the mountain! Zhao Kuo also shouted and rushed down the mountain, followed by the other officers who also rushed down the mountain, followed by countless soldiers......
