Chapter 101 Difficulties
Sun Jian looked a little timid, but in fact the opponent he faced was also quite cautious. He looked different from other Qiang generals who were very impulsive and violent. Although his attack was extremely
It is aggressive, but it is not irregular. If you observe carefully, you will find that the opponent is very skillful.
The key is that Sun Jian couldn't find a flaw in the opponent's attack in a short period of time, so the two were in a state of attacking and defending each other. After fighting for about twenty rounds, the other side feinted a shot, and then...
Go back.
Sun Jian thought that the opponent was weak, but he didn't think much about it, so he immediately chased after him. However, after only a few steps of pursuit, he saw the dark Qiang general coming back at a very fast speed.
He also called back his carbine, but General Sun Jian avoided it and was almost knocked off his horse by the opponent. Sun Jian's chest boiled with anger, he roared fiercely, and attacked the opponent with all his strength.
The opponent saw that Sun Jian was approaching fiercely, but he did not fight hard. He used his strength to catch Sun Jian's attack, and then turned around and retreated again. This time, Sun Jian did not pursue him anymore, but shouted loudly behind him.
, calling the other party a coward, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death just like Han Sui.
Han Sui was constantly scolded by Sun Jian, but he never got angry. Instead, he had a smile on his face. He said to Sun Jian: "It's not that I don't want to fight you, but that you are not qualified. Do you understand?"
After saying this, Han Sui ordered the entire army to shrink and no longer accept Sun Jian's offensive provocations. Sun Jian also felt a little tired after scolding him for a while. As the saying goes, if you push hard in one go, it will weaken again, then it will be exhausted. The same is true for Sun Jian.
, he saw that Han Sui was as thick-skinned as a city wall and was not moved by his insults at all, so he couldn't think of a better way for a while. But now that he has come here, he can only
Continue to order a fierce attack on this road.
So Sun Jian immediately ordered the entire army to start attacking. At this time, most of his troops had penetrated into the inner city of Yunwu City. Soon, the troops and Han Sui's defenders started a fierce street battle in the city.
.
Regardless of ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, looking at any era and place, urban street fighting is very fierce and cruel. It can even be said to be a battlefield meat grinder. Especially in some cities with a slightly more complicated internal layout, enemies may appear anywhere around them.
In a place, if you are not careful, you will be attacked. For the attacker, every step forward may have to pay a heavy price, and the two sides will often fight repeatedly in some more important areas. No one can completely
To gain the upper hand, one can only rely on constantly filling the gaps in the battlefield with flesh and blood, in order to consolidate the position.
Han Sui's side was obviously prepared for urban street fighting in advance. There were special defensive deployments in many places. It was not visible from a distance at first. After Sun Jian's troops rushed within a certain distance,
, they will encounter attacks from all directions, with open guns and hidden arrows, and many troops will suffer heavy losses before they have time to react.
After less than half a day of fighting, the vanguard of Sun Jian's onslaught suffered relatively heavy casualties. Sun Jian was also anxious at this time, but it was useless to be anxious. He should have done it when he led his army into Yunwu City.
He thought that Han Sui must have made adequate arrangements in the city, but he did not expect that the actual offensive and defensive battle in the city would be so difficult.
As time went by, Sun Jian began to worry more and more about the rear of his troops. Although he had made advance preparations and arrangements for Han Sui to sneak around and attack the rear before the attack, it was difficult to say what he was doing.
The deployment must be effective. He must prepare for the worst. If Han Sui's troops really succeeded in cutting off his retreat, what should he do?
Thinking of this, Sun Jian's determination to continue the attack began to waver. In fact, it was not just him, but most of the soldiers and generals, including him, began to feel anxious. The longer the time went on, the anxious mood became worse.
The situation became more serious, and the defensive positions deployed by Han Sui in the city were very difficult to attack. Several rounds of fierce attacks sent by Sun Jian ended in failure. Even if they successfully occupied some positions at the beginning, they could not maintain it for too long.
It will soon be recaptured by Han Sui's troops.
Obviously, these rebels under Han Sui are not only very powerful Xiliang cavalry, but also some infantry and crossbowmen. In fact, the people in the border areas of Liangzhou are relatively good at fighting. Maybe the overall military discipline of the army is not good.
They were not as good as the troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and perhaps the armor rate was not as high as the soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, in the chaotic situation of street fighting in the city, the advantages in overall military discipline and armor rate were not reflected.
On the contrary, the rebels on Han Sui's side have much stronger personal initiative of their soldiers. They appear to be more flexible and changeable on the battlefield. They are not only limited by some fixed tactics, but they always seem to be able to come up with some surprises.
Weird tactics came out. Although these tactics are not very clever if you look closely, their value is reflected in the surprise, which caught Sun Jianjun a little off guard.
In addition, Sun Jian, as the offensive side, has some anxious and impetuous emotions, which will cause him to inadvertently ignore many important details during the battle. The result will be a vicious cycle. The more impetuous he is, the harder it is to win.
, and the harder it was to win, the more impetuous he became, and the overall morale of Sun Jianjun began to fall into a low ebb.
Faced with Han Sui's disgusting tactics, Sun Jian was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. Now he was in a dilemma: should he continue to attack, or should he retreat while there was still a chance?
, let the whole army retreat first.
As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about leaving green hills without firewood. If he continues to attack forcefully, it is very likely that the entire main force will fall here. But if he really wants to order the entire army to retreat like this, then he will be very worried.
If you are not willing to give in, once you start to hesitate, it will most likely be in vain.
Sun Jian failed to make a decisive decision immediately, which was delayed for a day or so, which resulted in a tragic defeat. First of all, Han Sui did send troops to cut off his backup, and he sent more than one
Instead of detachment of troops, they launched attacks from several directions at the same time, directly cutting off Sun Jian's retreat in a short period of time, causing his backup and supplies to be interrupted. At the front, Han Sui also began to switch from defense to offense.
Sun Jian's offensive has been unable to achieve success, and the overall morale is low.
Han Sui began to send a number of mixed cavalry and infantry troops to launch a counterattack. Sun Jian's troops were forced between the inner city and the outer city. The situation seemed to be getting out of control soon.
Han Sui is about to catch a turtle in a jar!
