Although the Han army has the advantage on all fronts, the risks involved can be felt by Yang Ye even with the general's sense of smell. The Han army is almost dancing on the tip of a knife, and no accidents can occur.
, otherwise it will inevitably fall into a state of collapse.
At this point in the fierce fighting, the Han army has tried its best to avoid any accidents. It still needs to fight quickly. With the current situation in Guanzhong, it is simply unable to support the army for a long battle. In a war of attrition, the Han army will definitely not be able to consume the Shu army. Wang Jun came out
Using a dangerous strategy to force the Shu army to fight from the south was helpless to a certain extent.
Of course, if Wang Jun had not thought of defeating the Shu army in one fell swoop and achieved great success, and had chosen to stay safely in Baoji, the situation would not have been so tense.
Under the rule of Meng Chang, the Shu Kingdom had been at peace for more than ten years, and its armaments were not refined. Although the combat power of the Shu army was much weaker than that of Yongqi's army in the Central Plains, it was not all just fishing for goods. Some of them came from Chengdu.
The "Forbidden Army", coupled with the Qin Feng soldiers who had rebuilt and defected to Hou Shu, had good combat power. They were very powerful in the battle with the Han army and caused a lot of trouble to the Han army.
During the retreat, they walked through the battlefield along the way, took care of the wounded, and drove away the defeated soldiers.
"Commander the army, these Shu soldiers are not good at fighting, but they can run away very quickly. They are used to climbing over mountains and cross-country, and crawling into the mountains and forests. They soon disappeared. We really couldn't catch up with them, and we didn't catch many people...
." A commander under his command rode his horse to Yang Ye's side and complained.
Previously, they were busy pursuing death and chasing north, and had no time to look back. This naturally gave the defeated Shu army an opportunity to flee. The Shu soldiers were also clever and dispersed into the mountains.
Hearing this, Yang Ye put away the worries in his heart and looked up at the surrounding mountains and fields. There was not much surprise on his face: "Just run away. There are too many prisoners and we are wasting our food. This is a wilderness and dangerous place, and there is a waste of food."
Entering it, how many people can survive is a question."
It took a lot of time, and the results of the battle were basically calculated. The Han army defeated more than 200 cavalrymen, and directly killed thousands of Shu soldiers. As for trampled to death, injured, missing and other injuries, it is impossible to calculate. In short, following
Han Baozhen had more than 6,000 troops who left Sanguan, and most of them suffered losses of more than 40%. I am afraid that even fewer of them were able to escape back to the pass.
Even so, it was a huge victory with an outnumbered enemy. Compared with the excitement of other officers, Yang Ye had a serious expression: "I have suffered so many casualties from my brothers!"
However, Yang Ye's serious expression seemed to have a hint of "you can be good even if you can do it cheaply".
There were not many prisoners, only about 300 idiots were captured. Those who were slightly injured were treated, and those who were seriously injured were treated without any further instructions from Yang Ye. They were all treated with wounds to relieve their pain.
A lot of grain was captured. The Shu army came out of the customs and brought more than 200 mule carts with them. While transporting grain and equipment, it was also convenient to set up a "car array" to resist the Han cavalry. As a result, the Han army was completely advantaged, and Han Baozhen was
He has been a conscientious and responsible "transportation brigade captain" for a time.
"Keep part of it for military use, and transport the rest to the camp!" Yang Ye made a direct decision on this batch of grain and equipment.
...
Jifeng Mountain, Xifeng.
Under the middle base of the Shu army, as the Qi army who climbed up the camp fence was gradually driven down by the Shu army, it also announced that the Han army's fierce attack for a whole day ended in failure again. The sound of killing gradually stopped, and I looked back to the west.
Under the slanting sun, Wang Jun, who was supervising the battle in front of the formation, looked livid, almost gritting his teeth and said: "Retreat the troops!"
Accompanied by the sound of gold ringing, the disintegrated Qi army ran even more happily, swarming towards the Han camp, and were controlled and restrained by the forbidden troops guarding the camp. Under the Shu army camp, corpses fell on the ground, and the last one ran away.
The slow attackers were shot to death by the Shu army's arrows, and the scene gradually became quiet.
As the Chinese army stopped fighting, the Han troops responsible for containing the two wings of the Shu army withdrew their troops and returned to camp. This was the third day that the Han army had continuously attacked the Shu village. Except for the first day, they gained the most and almost destroyed the Shu village.
After that, in the next two days, the Han army's offensive became more fierce, but the Shu army's defense became more stable.
The Shu army seems to have found a way to fight against the Han army. If they can't defeat you in a head-on field battle, how can they defeat you by relying on a stronghold to defend? Zhang Qianzhao also seems to understand this truth. He personally sits on the middle base and motivates the soldiers. The Han army's
The impatience to fight seems to have made him realize something. The more impatient he is, the more stable he becomes. There is plenty of food in the Shu camp on both sides. Even if the transportation of food on the Shu road is difficult, after all the early losses, the Shu army is still not short of food.
....
On the side of the Han army, the atmosphere was a bit depressed, with wounded soldiers returning to camp, groaning constantly, and resentment growing. After all, the Han army was a mixture of forbidden troops and Fang Zhen soldiers. The war was not progressing smoothly, and as it dragged on, conflicts naturally arose.
.
In the Chinese army tent, Wang Jun got angry at the generals for the first time: "The Shu army is not an elite soldier, the fortress is not a solid fortress, and the camp is not a dangerous camp. They invaded and attacked for three days and were not allowed to advance. You are in vain to be called elite!"
"
When he got angry, the Forbidden Army General gave him face. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not refute it and showed it directly. However, the Fang Town generals present could not stand this arrogance and all looked ugly, especially after Qi failed to attack the stronghold today.
military.
"The war is not going well. As a commander-in-chief, how can it be that the commander-in-chief does not think about his own faults, but blames the soldiers?" There was only silence in the tent, and soon a slightly irritable voice roared out.
Immediately attracted everyone's attention, Wang Jun looked at him with a gloomy expression. Looking to the side of the handsome case, a rather heroic young general sat solemnly and upright, wearing bright armor and outstanding temperament. He was Jinchang
The envoy of the military festival, Zhao Kuangzan, the son of King Zhao Yanshoudu of Yan, was still in the army at this time. In this account, he was ranked first in terms of title, but his position was temporarily under Wang Jun.
Of course, it was not Zhao Kuangzan who retorted, but behind him, a strong man with a fierce look on his face. This man's name was Zhao Siwan, and he was Zhao Kuangzan's tooth general. He was called "fierce" because he had several lines carved on his face.
Hideous scars.
Wang Jun stared at him coldly: "Are you questioning me?"
Zhao Siwan seemed to have noticed Wang Jun's displeasure, and said bluntly: "With this bravery, the soldiers stormed the camp, and more than 2,000 people fell under the Shu camp. It was so heroic. The soldiers did not think about their own decisions.
What's the point of a failure or a general's fault?"
After Zhao Siwan finished speaking, Zhao Kuangzan's expression changed, and Wang Jun's expression also changed, becoming more gloomy, and shouted directly: "How dare a little tooth general roar at the commander's camp and contradict the general, and he doesn't know the strictness of military law?
Man, get this beast for me!"
The guards in front of the tent immediately entered and prepared to capture Zhao Siwan. Upon seeing this, Zhao Siwan's expression became fierce and he subconsciously went to draw his sword, but was held down by Zhao Kuangzan behind him.
"Recruit the envoy!" Zhao Kuangzan looked at Wang Jun calmly.
Just as he opened his mouth, Wang Jun sternly ordered: "Take it down!"
This time, Zhao Siwan was controlled without giving him time to react. Seeing this, Zhao Kuangzan's face twitched, he took a breath and said: "Wang Ambassador, please forgive Zhao for his lax discipline. Zhao Siwan is a rude person and speaks uncontrollably.
, don’t be offended by it.”
Wang Jun looked back at Zhao Kuangzan, then glanced at Zhao Siwan who looked dissatisfied, and said coldly: "A mere tooth general is so arrogant and domineering. Zhao Jieshuai should be disciplined..."
Before Wang Jun finished speaking, he heard that Zhao Siwan was there to start a fight again: "The ones who have been rushing to the front in the past two days are our Qi Army and Yong Army. I heard that the Imperial Guards have great fighting power, so why are they cowering in the camp?
middle--"
"Shut up!" This time, it was Zhao Kuangzan who turned around and glared at Zhao Siwan to prevent him from saying more "explicit" words.
There are naturally conflicts between the Forbidden Army and Fang Zhenbing. It is normal for the Forbidden Army to think that they are superior to others. But the problems involved cannot be talked about, especially under such circumstances. Zhao Siwan should take it for granted.
Saying this in front of all the generals will have a very bad impact.
Sure enough, everyone in the tent, no matter who they were, had something strange on their faces.
Upon seeing this, Wang Jun's face could no longer be described as livid, his eyes were cold, and he immediately ordered: "Pull this crazy thief out and kill him!"
"Wang Shijun!" Zhao Kuangzan was anxious.
"Zhao Jieshuai!" Wang Jun suppressed Zhao Kuangzan with a louder voice, looked around, and said coldly: "This thief contradicts the commander, confuses the people, and stirs up the morale of the army. He is actually a thief who has caused chaos in the army. If he is not killed, how can he be corrected?
How can military law suppress military prestige?"
"Pull out!"
"I don't accept it!" Seeing that Wang Jun wanted to kill her to establish his authority, Zhao Siwan couldn't help it, and immediately resisted and shouted, "This man has great strength, and he almost broke free under the restraint of two strong men."
The guards didn't care, and took him out to march.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Kuangzan couldn't help shouting, almost breaking his throat.
Regardless of whether Zhao Siwan's crime deserves death, to kill his general in front of him would be a slap in the face. Staring seriously at Wang Jun, Zhao Kuangzan said: "Wang Shijun, you can't kill the general in front of the formation."
It’s good for military morale!”
"If we allow this beast to run rampant, it will destroy morale even more!" Wang Jun said coldly.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangzan clenched his fists and stared: "Is your Majesty really going to kill Zhao Siwan?"
"Definitely kill!" Wang Jun replied forcefully. Wanting to scare him, Zhao Kuangzan was a bit naive.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the tent became more tense. After a long time, Zhao Kuangzan took a deep breath, pointed at Zhao Siwan and said: "Zhao Siwan fought bravely. Even if he is guilty, it would be a pity to kill him. It would be better to rush into the battle with him and serve his crime tomorrow. Tomorrow
, I will send him to lead the Yong soldiers to charge into the stronghold, and we will definitely defeat the Shu army!"
Zhao Kuangzan was obviously a little impulsive.
Wang Jun's face was still gloomy: "What if we can't break the stronghold?"
"As long as Zhao Siwan does not die in the battle, I will personally chop off his head and give Wang Shijun an explanation!" Zhao Kuangzan said coldly.
Hearing this, Wang Jun seemed to think about it for a while and looked at Zhao Siwan with contempt: "I will spare his life for the time being!"
A fierce dispute was suppressed for the time being. After a brief observation of the generals in the tent, they all looked different.
After walking a few steps in the tent, Wang Jun felt heavy in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said solemnly:
"Tomorrow, I will personally lead the imperial army as the main force to attack the stronghold, and all the troops will assist me! We will not stop fighting until we defeat the Shu army!"
Wang Jun was also willing to take risks and said loudly: "If we attack the stronghold tomorrow and are out of the enemy camp's bow and arrow range, the officers and men of the three armies will enforce military law against me!"
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but seeing Wang Jun's stiff face, the original resentment was suppressed at once.
After the generals retreated, Wang Jun was behind Shuai Shi and couldn't help but raise his hands and rub his eyes. His decision was obviously a risk, but since the beginning of Shuai Shinan's arrival, there was no result, so he could only continue to take risks.
He also had a headache when he thought about the various suppressing troops in the army, including the Qi army that was temporarily under his unified control. Wang Jun was a proud and conceited person from the bottom of his heart. With his spirit, he could not deal with these undisciplined soldiers.
We should use the most severe means to crack down. However, I think it is possible, but I dare not actually do it.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Kuangzan's side!" Wang Jun ordered his subordinates to the capital school.
"Do you suspect there is something strange about them?"
"Just be prepared!" Wang Jun sighed.
A little later, news of Yang Ye's victory came, along with a large amount of seized supplies.
After learning about the situation, Wang Jun was overjoyed and sighed that Yang Ye was a young hero. His Majesty the Emperor had not misjudged the man. He immediately went out to publicize it in the army to boost morale. At the same time, he took out meat from the supply camp and rewarded the three armies to boost their morale.
