Chapter 80: Regaining the Throne
Although frightened by the stone attack, it did not hurt much, most of them were not injured, or only scratched a little skin, but it undoubtedly dealt a serious blow to morale, especially as they were panting and climbing the mountain, and their physical strength was running low, and they had to allocate their strength to dodge the flying stones.
Just as they were panting and approaching the top of the mountain, the black pressed people rushed down, holding the bright long soldiers, and the Han soldiers all stopped hesitantly, only a few were ready for fighting, and most of them were still panting. Xu Li and Zhao Kuo rushed to the front, picked up those who were easy to bully, and knocked over several of them; Those Han soldiers, who were still panting, saw that the cold weapon had pierced in front of them, shouted, turned over and ran. Going down the mountain is not as good as going up the mountain, and if you miss a little, you will fall, and in the chaos, a person will naturally fall to the side; The people in front of them also rushed to the back, shouted loudly, and all ran down the mountain. Xu Li did not form a team, so he took the officers as the vanguard, piled up the banners, and pursued down the hillside.
Zhao Hao watched and listened at the bottom of the mountain, and felt that his side had won, so he ordered the general to lead 3,000 people to advance to the enemy camp, and Zhao Hao himself led the 2,000 wounded soldiers to the battle. At this time, the two armies were about five miles apart. When Zhao Jun was about to walk in front of the South Korean army's camp, he heard screams in the enemy camp. Zhao Hao was overjoyed and shouted: "Attack!" The general gave the order, and the whole army rushed into the enemy camp.
The South Korean army collapsed on all fronts!
The troops sent by Gongzi to resist Zhao Hao were only about 10,000 people, and the main force naturally remained in Yanhe, which was fifty miles away, surrounding Yanhe City. At dusk, one after another, the defeated troops ran back, reporting that the line of defense against reinforcements had been broken and that Zhao reinforcements were coming. Childe was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to investigate. Soon, a large number of defeated troops poured in, and the news of the defeat of the Korean army on the front quickly spread in Yanhe. The image of the Zhao army's bravery is also established with the description of these defeated soldiers: they are not afraid of the cold, and they are shirtless on snowy days; They are strong and strong, and they climb mountains and mountains as if they were walking on flat ground; They were as strong as oxen, and threw hundreds of pounds of stones at will...... Fear spread like a plague in the Korean camp. Gongzi wanted to kill a few "rumors" to rectify military discipline, but his subordinates dissuaded: "No, the army's spirit has been dispersed, and you can't do it!" But retreat quickly! ”
Seeing that all the generals said this, Gongzi had to sigh and give the order to retreat.
Retreating in the chaos only hastened the process of collapse. When they saw the nearby barracks pulling out the camp, the other barracks ignored the officers' obstructions, and ignored the orders and drums of the procession, and scattered in a hurry, and fled to the valley mouth to the west without their lives.
The news that the Zhao army outside the valley came to help and broke the blockade has also spread in the city. Yan and Shou hurriedly went up to the city tower with the officials to watch, but saw that under the dark night, the battalions were forming their formations, obviously wanting to retreat. Yan and Shou Daxi, the order and the city can fight all the people gathered, except for a hundred people to defend the city, the rest are ready to attack. Before they could gather their men, they heard the commotion of a landslide outside the city. The city guard saw that the Korean soldiers outside the city scattered and fled, like a flood bursting the embankment, they did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to the city, the torches were bright, and the strings were controlled to lead the arrows, and the Korean soldiers were not allowed to approach the city. In a slight flash, the city that thousands of troops have not conquered may be opened by a few routs!
The whole area has become a hell: although most of the defeated soldiers are fleeing for their lives, some of them are still taking the opportunity to kill, rob, rape, and even burn, kill and rob in a calm and orderly manner. Houses were set on fire, and men, women, old people, children, who had no time to take refuge and were found, were knocked down and thrown into the fire...... It was not until midnight that the group gradually retreated. At this time, footsteps could already be heard from Taniguchi to the south.
Zhao Hao's troops chased and killed Shili, because the mountain road was rugged, Zhao Hao ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Along the way, the heads of the wounded Korean soldiers were harvested and handed over to the battalion. The soldiers led by Xu Li were sweating and returned majestically. Their losses were modest, about a few hundred casualties. And the number of heads captured by the stabbing alone reached more than 4,000 levels. Xu Li asked the soldiers to go back and get dressed, and walked to Zhao Hao by himself and said: "Weishu has gone to Beishan, and now he should return to his life!" ”
Zhao Hao said: "In this battle, you are the first merit!" ”
Xu Li said: "Repeated violations of military orders, willing to be an axe!" ”
Zhao Hao said: "The military order is revoked!" ”
Xu Li said: "Wei Shu has advice, I am willing to hear it!" ”
Zhao Hao said: "You say it." ”
Xu Li said: "I am willing to enter the army with soldiers, and the enemy will be chaotic!" ”
Zhao Hao said: "Good! Called the front general, and said: "You will go straight to the city overnight with Xu Xu to help his city!" ”
Although the partial general had just won the battle, because the enemy had fled, he had not won much, so he naturally had no words.
Zhao Hao said to Zhao Kuo: "You should follow the general, and support everything!" ”
Zhao Kuo should also respond.
So the three of them gathered the team, put the team in order, 3,000 elites in front, 2,000 wounded in the back, and went straight to Yanhe along the valley.
When it was nightfall, I saw a fire in the direction of the Yan and the direction, and a faint shout came. Xu Li asked Zhao Kuo and the partial generals to lead the front army to rush forward, and he followed with the wounded.
Zhao Kuo and the general entered the valley mouth, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him: he basically fell into a sea of fire. Zhao Kuo sent a message to Xu Li in the back, asking him to bring someone over to put out the fire quickly, and he led Zhao Bing to search for the defeated soldiers.
Zhao Bing came to the city of Yan and Zhao Kuo shouted: "Where is Yan and Shou?" ”
Yan and Shou climbed the city tower and said to the below: "Dare to ask the general to respect his name!" ”
The partial general next to him said: "Zhao Kuo, the son of General Tabe Zhao Hao!" ”
Yan and Shou ordered the opening of the city and led the officials out of the city. Zhao Kuo asked about the siege and the loss, and was surprised to learn that there was no loss between the Yan and the defenders, and the thousands of people were intact. Although he felt strange, he also knew that now was not the time to delve into the matter, so he asked the whereabouts of the enemy army and the defenders. He told him that the enemy had retreated to the valley to the west. Zhao Kuo asked Yan and the guards to maintain order, assist in fighting fires, and lead people to pursue the enemy army.
Passing through the sea of fire, Zhao Kuo heard the noise in front of him. led the troops to rush up, only to see the valley mouth crowded. Zhao Kuo commanded the Zhao army to climb the hillside and condescendingly shot a batch of arrows. The man who was hit by the arrow let out a scream. Zhao Kuo made the Zhao people shout: "Those who descend will not die!" Then there was a cry from all sides: "Those who descend will not die!" ~Those who descend will not die! ~Those who descend will not die! ~......" At the same time, batches of arrows fell from the sky, and a large number of screams were heard. From time to time, Han soldiers threw down their weapons, walked out of the formation, and knelt on the ground with their hands raised. Zhao Kuo asked Zhao Bing to take these people to the city and hand them over to the guards.
Some were shot, some surrendered, but many more desperately squeezed into the valley, desperately running along the valley roads washed out of the mountains by the river. fell, got up and continued to run; Injured in a fall, limping away. The valley road is relatively gentle, the slope is not large, but the road surface is uneven, so most people still run away.
Zhao Kuo did not enter the valley to pursue in view of the slippery road in view of the darkness. On the one hand, he put out the fire, and on the other hand, he sent a lot of torches very intimately, which provided great convenience for Zhao Kuo and them to clean up the battlefield. Many of the soldiers who failed to flee were decapitated. Since they basically did not enter a state of hand-to-hand combat, those who were injured were all wounded by arrows, so there were not many gains. What is more special is to find a very soft fur fur in a piece of sludge. Zhao Kuo looked at it and said, "Escape!" ”
After Xu Li led his troops into the city, he did not go into battle, but fought the fire, settled the wounded, and comforted the survivors with the defenders. When Zhao Kuo came back with the head, the fire had basically been extinguished, and on the mountain in the distance, there was the sound of chickens crowing.
Zhao Kuo's men did not participate in the disaster relief, but sent out a cordon in all directions, searching for any remnants of the enemy army. Both valley entrances were heavily garrisoned.
Gongzi didn't dare to walk the valley road, relying on two legs, he couldn't outrun those defeated soldiers at all, and he might be robbed or even killed by the defeated soldiers. With the support of their retainers, they crossed the mountains and retreated along the ridge to Yi. In order to avoid people's eyes, the windy robe was thrown away. The retainers told Gongzi not to rush to Yi, it's too early, what should I do if Han Weijun fights? Walk slowly, preferably by the time you get there, the Korean army has already passed.
The Han troops stationed in Yi have all gathered in Yanhe, and only the Wei army remains. Although it is a Korean land, there is no effective management in South Korea. When the coalition forces arrived, the inhabitants of Yi fled to the mountains to take refuge. Later, the armies of Qin and Han left separately, leaving only the Wei army, and the time of hiding in the mountains was too long, and some of them couldn't stand it, so the people came back one after another. Wei Jun was not stupid, he didn't embarrass them, and asked them to call back the township, no matter what, it would be good if they could help them cook! So this month, the people have come back a lot.
When the Korean army broke into the city, it was already dawn. Quite a few are going to rob again. However, the Wei army found that the situation was not right, and decisively shot to suppress the rout. Although these routs were numerous, they were defeated in the face of the organized Wei army. Wei Jun learned about the situation of Yan He from Han Jun's mouth, and he was also very shocked.
At this time, the general of the Wei army was Si Mang, who had guarded Xinlingjun. Si Mang was originally a battalion director, and his promotion to the next level was just a school rate. However, in the first battle of Huayang, the Wei army suffered heavy losses, and a large number of senior generals were killed. On the recommendation of Xin Lingjun, a group of lower-level officials were promoted. The doctor Jin was promoted to general. Captain Liang, who has always been in control of the soldiers, is still the captain of Liang, but there are few soldiers under him! Half of the soldiers were killed in the first battle of Huayang, plus the previous losses in the north, as well as the elimination of natural aging, although there are still nearly 20,000 soldiers now, but the combat effectiveness is no longer the same, and it has completely become a capital security army. Neither the King of Wei nor the Emperor of Xinling seemed to be interested in re-recruiting new soldiers, and the real power of the Great Liang Governor's Mansion was seriously weakened.
