Chapter 260: The Soul of the Country
The Jin army stationed near the Changliu Mountains did not directly enter the war outside the Qingzhou border of Wei State. Instead, it served as a reserve force to continuously provide troops for the troops fighting on the front line, striving to prevent the troops competing with Wei State from fighting for supplies.
, worrying about the source of troops, and then establishing an invincible position.
But in the battle of Huxiao Pass, they had to send troops to support.
The reason is the same. Huxiao Pass is a dangerous thoroughfare that restricts the connection between the Changliu Mountains and the Qingzhou border. Once it is lost, it will more or less affect the connection between the two armies of the Jin State, which will then allow the Wei State to take advantage of it.
machine.
This is what the Jin army did not want to see, so they rushed to Huxiao Pass to support them at all costs.
The greater the movement of the Jin army, the more necessary it is for the Wei army to intercept. No matter how difficult it is, we must buy time for Cao Shen's army.
Zhao Yun is currently in his central army tent, discussing the military situation with the generals.
On this expedition, he brought three of the seven masters from Jiange.
Although Sword Five, Sword Six, and Sword Seven are good at fighting alone and are not very proficient in fighting at the beginning, they have more or less understood it in their hearts after following Zhao Changqing in the north and south for so long.
Some tactics of war can be used in times of crisis.
But this time, Jianwu took the initiative to ask Zhao Yun to fight, and said: "Please give the general 30,000 fine armor to the general. The general will definitely prevent the Jin army from approaching Huxiao Pass!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned and questioned: "Brother Jianwu, this time, the Jin army stationed in Changliu area sent a hundred thousand troops to support, but only gave you 30,000, is that okay?"
This time he went on an expedition and divided the army with Cao Shen. He only carried 180,000 troops. Excluding medical, baggage, supplies, food and other troops, there were only 150,000 combatable troops. Therefore, in order to
Considering the overall situation, he simply doesn't have any extra troops to give Jian Wu.
Jian Wu clearly knew that the current battle situation was dangerous, so after thinking carefully, he solemnly said: "Thirty thousand is enough. Unless the general dies, he will never let go of a Jin army!"
Zhao Yun immediately made the decision and said loudly: "Okay! General Jianwu has such heroic spirit, I admire him extremely! In addition to the 30,000 fine armors you want, I will give you another 20,000 iron cavalry, which must be guarded by Wuding River.
The bank prevents the Jin army from crossing the west. If they cross the Wuding River, they will not be far from Huxiao Pass!"
Jianwu bowed in a serious manner and said: "The last general takes orders!"
Jian Liu and Jian Qi looked at each other, then they both clasped their fists at Zhao Yun and said in unison: "Marshal, the two of us are willing to go into battle with Fifth Brother!"
Regarding matters between brothers, Zhao Yun still had to ask Jian Wu what he meant.
After Jianwu noticed Zhao Yun's gaze, he said to his two brothers: "Stay here and listen to Marshal Zhao's orders! Marshal, your troops are very fast, so the last general will take the lead!"
After resigning to Zhao Yun, he went to assemble his army.
Jianliu and Jianqi looked at his leaving figure and hesitated to speak.
When Zhao Yun saw this scene, he also shook his head and murmured in his heart: "The battle at Wuding River will definitely be a bloody battle. Jian Wu did not let his two brothers follow him. He should know that he will fight with the Jin army next.
In this battle, the danger is too great. Do you want to protect your two younger brothers?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's eyes gradually became solemn, and he looked at the Yixiantian Canyon marked on the map. He hit it with a fist, crumpling the entire map, and then he said categorically to the generals: "Jin.
Seeing that the Wuding River is blocked, the army will definitely send troops from the front line with all their strength. As for how many troops will be sent, I have no way of knowing. However, the Huxiao Pass Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Seeing that the reinforcements will not be able to go to the rescue for a while, they will definitely
We will jump over the wall in a hurry, so what awaits us will also be a fierce battle.
Order all the officers and men of the three armies to guard the sky! If the Jin army dares to come, they will fight the enemy there! Even if they fight to the last soldier, we must let them see the courage of Wei soldiers!"
All the generals in the army stood up and said: "Fight to the last soldier for Your Majesty, long live the soldiers of Wei!"
All-out war is about to break out. Among the three Cao Shen, only Zhao Yun is under the greatest pressure.
Because waiting for him will be the entire Jin army stationed in the Changliu Mountains.
Chen Qingzhi and Cao Shen worked together to resist the Jin army stationed outside the Qingzhou border.
Except for the ongoing Battle of Huxiao Pass, the first war that broke out was the war with the Jin army north of Mangshan Mountain.
The soldiers of both armies, regardless of whether they were our enemies or ours, shook the heaven and earth with their shouts of killing.
Both sides are constantly sending troops, and blood, broken limbs, and fallen heads can be seen everywhere.
The battle here is without the help of arrows.
After the enemy and ourselves met, they all started hand-to-hand combat.
Not surprisingly, this war was fought with momentum.
The blood all over the ground gradually dyed the earth red.
As the sun sets, a desolate atmosphere pervades every fallen corpse.
The latest charge has begun.
A group of heavily armored cavalry led by Huo Qubing prepared to charge towards the advancing Jin army!
At that time, Zhao Changqing won the heavy armored cavalry in a lottery, and told the outside world that it was the army he had secretly trained by Shen Wansan. After Zhuge Liang saw this army, he began to form an imitation of the heavy armored cavalry. After Chen Qingzhi led the Xiaowei army, he
All the heavy armored cavalry were collected. By now, Wei State already has one hundred thousand heavy armored cavalry.
During this expedition, Chen Qingzhi took away 70,000 yuan.
And now, Huo Qubing temporarily leads 50,000 heavily armored cavalry.
His task is very arduous, so he is under great pressure.
Because almost all generals who hold important positions in the Wei army know that His Majesty's ace unit is the heavily armored cavalry.
Once all the heavy armored cavalry are exhausted in this battle, even if he barely wins the victory, Huo Qubing may be waiting for punishment.
He saw the endless enemy troops on the opposite side gradually approaching him at a consistent pace, so he took a deep breath, raised the single-hook spear held firmly in his hand high above his head, and pointed towards the fifty thousand soldiers.
The soldiers shouted loudly: "Wei Wu soldiers!"
With just three words, 50,000 armored men shouted in unison: "Loyalty, righteousness and courage! Braveness conveys soul!"
They said these eight words several times in succession.
Gradually, the morale of all the soldiers in the army improved.
Huo Qubing narrowed his eyes, stared forward, tried his best, and said again: "Kill!"
The entire army roared together, "Kill!"
The heavily armored cavalry began to charge.
The Jin army also fought hard to meet them.
The soldiers of the two armies fought together again.
Don’t you see, outside Mang Mountain, there are no one to collect the ancient bones!
Just near Mangshan Mountain, the Wei and Jin Dynasties had fought here several times, winning and losing, and there were countless casualties.
During the charge, a Wei soldier unfortunately fell off his horse. He endured the pain in his abdomen and back caused by hitting the ground and continued to kill the enemy. However, he was not on horseback and was fighting the enemy at close range, so he was easily injured.
So after killing a Jin soldier, he was also slashed hard on the back by an enemy soldier.
Suddenly the skin was torn open and the flesh was bleeding.
But he gritted his teeth and continued to kill the enemy without any fear of pain.
Finally, during a close encounter with the enemy, his arm was cut off by the enemy, and his blood spurted out like a fountain.
If an arm is broken on the battlefield, without exception, the person will die within half an hour due to the loss of blood.
But he didn't care about his injuries, life or death, and continued to rush forward.
Huo Qubing noticed him, rode on horseback to kill the enemy, came to him and said, "When will you join the army?"
The broken-armed soldier replied to his general while killing the enemy: "I joined the army a long time ago. The younger one is one of the first batch of heavy armored cavalry trained by Mr. Shen!"
Huo Qubing said: "There are military doctors in the rear. I, the general, have captured a war horse for you and evacuated it one after another to recuperate!"
The soldier with the broken arm gritted his teeth and rejected Huo Qubing's opinion, and continued to rush forward, saying as he rushed: "How can any soldier be immortal? I don't want to be a coward and be scolded by my colleagues for the rest of my life!"
"
These soldiers who followed Zhao Changqing in his expeditions from the very beginning were all concerned about face and were afraid of embarrassing His Majesty the Emperor.
Huo Qubing looked at the direction he was rushing in and watched solemnly.
Gradually, the soldier with a broken arm rushed to the forefront of the Jin army's position.
But correspondingly, he was submerged in the sea of Jin soldiers and soldiers, and was never seen again.
Huo Qubing gritted his teeth, brandished his spear, and led the army to move forward without looking back.
The scene of the soldier with a broken arm is just a microcosm of the battle between Wei and Jin.
