Chapter 244 Battle for Street Pavilion (4)
On the second day of November, just when Sima Yong entered Chang'an City. In Longxi, Mao Ji and Yang Ji, under Zhang Yi's detachment, led Wudang Feijun to fight a battle with the small troops sent by Wen Hu to investigate.
In this battle, Wudang Flying Army was good at crossing mountains and ridges, and its advantages in interspersing behind enemy lines were fully demonstrated. Wenhu's detachment had a total of 3,000 people, and was repeatedly slapped in the ups and downs of loess hills, and was beaten very embarrassed. In the end, only more than 1,000 people successfully returned to Jieting.
On the fifth day of November, Hu Fen's main force arrived at Jieting. On the sixth day of the day, Jiang Wei's main force followed. At the same time, Zhang Yi's detachment also appeared in Jieting openly.
"Where are the reinforcements from the court now?"
"The subordinates received news from Chang'an fifteen days ago that reinforcements from the court were about to be departed from Luoyang."
"It's coming?" Hu Fen almost fainted after hearing this: "What are the people in the court doing? There is no part of the 150,000 Central Army in Luoyang that can be waited for the battle at any time. Can we set off at any time? Military situation is like fire!"
Seeing that the people below didn't speak, Hu Fen waved his hand irritably: "When did the messenger we sent out recently left?"
"Return to the general of Zhenxi. After the last general came to Jieting on October 30, he sent an envoy to calculate the schedule. He is still on the road now."
"Oh, the reporter Cao had already informed the court that there was a method of sending flying pigeons in Western Sichuan. But the wastes in the court actually said that this was a rumor! If we really had this method, how could we be so slow to react and be beaten everywhere on the battlefield? Forget it, Xuan Si, sending ten more envoys to Chang'an in two batches to report the emergency. I can only guard here for one month at most. After a month, the reinforcements from the court were not here, and Jieting would be gone!"
"No! I will make arrangements right now."
"Well, next, let's talk about the defense of this Jieting..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"What's the sound? Why is it so noisy?"
"Report~~~ General of Zhenxi, Shangguan. The thieves of Shu began to attack the camp! The enemy set up a catapult on two hills next to Jieting Town and began to throw turbulent bombs at our camp!"
"ah?!"
....
"The weight of the No. 1 trencher is completed!"
"No. B is finished!"
“Number C…”
"All of them, launch!"
At this time, dozens of huge counterweight catapults roared on the hills on both sides of Jieting Town. The huge potential energy rose into the air with the same huge sulphur bombs, and then smashed hard into the Jin army's camp with huge inertia. In less than an hour, the entire Jin army's huge camp was filled with fire points of varying sizes everywhere.
"Oh, change it. Ling Zun was really wronged back then." Standing on the mountain where Ma Su established his camp, Zhang Yi patted Ma Guo's shoulder heavily: "I was still a twenties when the Prime Minister made an expedition in the past. He was so angry that he heard that Ling Zun lost Jieting and said a lot of excessive things to your Ma family. But today, if Ling Zun had not gone up the mountain, he would have encountered the same situation as Hu Fen today. Alas, what's the matter? Only the parties involved can know all the difficulties. It is difficult for others to understand the truth of the matter."
At this time, the horse was already in tears.
Zhang Yi's detachment actually arrived near Jieting earlier than Wenhu's detachment. However, in order to prevent the early capture of Jieting, Hu Fen's main force from rushing west, he stayed four or five miles away from Jieting.
Of course, during the past four or five days, Zhang Yi's detachment did nothing. Its main job was to create various accessories for counterweight trenchers. After Hu Fen's main force entered Jieting, Zhang Yi's team quickly went up the mountain and assembled, and then a thunderous blow fell on Hu Fen's head.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang made his fifth northern expedition with his desperate determination. One hundred thousand Shu Han troops were stationed on the south bank of the Wei River and confronted the 200,000 Wei troops on the north bank. At that time, both sides broke away from the solid city walls and each relied on camps to defend.
The defense of this camp is not a little weaker than that of the city, but Zhuge Liang tried every means to **Sima Yi came out to fight with him, but he never had the idea of attacking the Wei army camp - no matter how weak the camp is, it has a certain defense ability. But the most important thing is: Sima Yi's military strength is twice that of Zhuge Liang. In the field, relying on the commander's superb command skills, there is still hope of winning with less. But taking half of others to force others' fortifications... In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, there are not many such actions, and even fewer success.
So Hu Fen's thinking fell into a misunderstanding from the beginning: he had so many fewer soldiers than Jiang Wei, and it was quite difficult to find a solid city to defend. Not to mention a town like Jieting, which had no city walls, could only be a place where camps were temporarily built fortifications.
Moreover, Jieting is located in a very special location. On the east side of it is Longshan, surrounded by loess hills. Jieting is located on a flat ground between Longshan and the surrounding small hills. This is why Jieting is the main transportation route.
However, with such a terrain, you can’t defend it simply by camping!
Of course, it was wrong for Ma Su to go up the mountain to camp, but even if he was on the road, he would only delay the failure time by a few days. In a word: The gap in national strength determines the number of soldiers. Unless the defense party occupied the absolute advantage of Guan Yi in Yang'an Pass a few years ago, the weakness of its troops would eventually become the key to the success or failure of the war.
Now, Shu Han's troops are nearly twice as powerful as Hu Fen's troops, and they have a geographical advantage. Moreover, because of the time traveler, they also have a counterweight catapult that organically combines pulleys and leverage principles in advance - so Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi and others are not afraid that Hu Fen will enter Jieting to defend - how can you defend it?
"It's urgent! General Zhenxi, Jieting is completely unable to defend! Taking advantage of the fact that the siege of the Shu army has not been completely completed, please make a decision early and lead the cavalry to rush out! The last general is willing to be the vanguard and open a bloody road for the general!"
"I believe in the courage of the second Qian!" Hu Fen had no long test at all, and immediately agreed to Wen Yang's proposal: "But, where will you go when you go out?"
"If the general breaks eastward at this time, Ji Wei has already discovered that there is a complete Sichuan thief detachment southeast of Jieting, and he has been waiting here for a long time. At the same time, this unit is from Nanzhong and is good at crossing mountains and ridges. With this unit blocking the way, even if we break through the encirclement and enter Longshan, we will not be able to escape the bad luck. The second is that the last general asks the general to use Shiyuan's Jincheng proposal at this moment."
"Oh, I wouldn't have been so troubled. I worked so hard to bring so many supplies to Jieting. As a result, I had to abandon all the supplies in less than a day and retreat west... After that, Xuan Si immediately ordered the entire army to carry as much food and water bag as possible. In a moment, the entire army broke through!"
Hu Fen had no intention of blaming Wang Shen at this time because it had no practical meaning. As for Wang Shen, of course, he was extremely ashamed at this time, so he issued all orders quickly and well. Soon, the Longxi Army completed the assembly again.
"Chiqian, please!"
"Hahahaha~~ Please rest assured, General! Today I am better than Lu Bu! Wenyang team, attack!"
"Wow~~~!"
The Wenyang team's attack route was not accurately calculated in advance - internal and external news was cut off, and God knew which general's army outside was the army of the Shu army? Anyway, the goal of our side was to fight westward. If you hit any Shu army, you would cut it with one size fits. Besides, isn't any Shu general the same in front of Wen Ciqian?
"The Jin army rushed out? So fast? Tiger and infantry army, quickly arrange the array! Crossbow team, shoot!"
After Wen Yang rushed out, the troops of Liu Min, a veteran Shu Han general, were directly opposite him. Although Liu Min quickly issued a relatively correct order, what he had to face was not a normal human at all!
Among the flying crossbow arrows, Wen Yang took the lead, and the spear and iron whip in his hand danced rapidly. No crossbow arrow could shoot at him and his war horses. Behind him, although countless Jin cavalry were caught in the arrows, he felt that the main general was always charging forward, and the subsequent Jin cavalry still rushed over one after another.
"The crossbow soldiers retreated! They were divided into left and right wings and retreated behind the Tiger Infantry!"
"Hahahaha~~~ I've been shooting me for so long, it's not that easy to leave!" With this long laugh, the war horse, which had already been running faster, increased its speed incredibly again. Wen Yang rushed into the panicked crossbow soldiers at a speed of lightning. He swept his spear hard, and several Shu Han crossbow soldiers were immediately distant.
"The whole army obeys the order! Don't be in the head and move forward!"
"Here~~~! Go ahead!"
The sequence of the Shu Han crossbow soldiers array was torn apart, and the war horses carried Wen Yang to continue to move forward quickly. In front, the Han army's tiger and infantry army had just completed the array. All shields were closely connected, and countless spear heads above the shield had been flattened. In the midday sun in winter, thousands of spear heads emitted dazzling light!
"Hmph! Those who block me will die!" With this roar full of energy, Wen Yang lifted the reins with his left hand, and the war horse under his crotch jumped high and jumped directly above the shield formation. At the same time, the spear in his right hand turned into a slash, and three heads disappeared, and blood rose into the sky at the broken neck!
The first line of defense just formed by the Tiger Infantry Army broke a hole.
But Wen Yang did not stop at all. After the war horse landed on the ground, he forced the iron whip to retreat several close spears with his left hand, and continued to urge the war horse to gallop forward. Behind him, countless Jin cavalry followed the gap opened by his commander and bravely rushed into the Han army's infantry formation!
"Hiss~~~ In the past, I heard that Wen Ciqian was fighting back and forth among hundreds of thousands of troops in Huainan. I also said that someone had followed General Zilong's legend. Today, it seems that it is indeed well-known! You can quickly form a three-level formation to block this guy's voice and ask for help from the general!"
"Hahahahaha~~~~ It's such a bunch of native chickens and tile dogs! Brothers, say it again, don't be at the top, move forward!"
"Wow~~~!"
Seeing Wen Yang breaking forward unstoppable and getting closer to the flag of his own side, Liu Min's personal guards were panicked: "General, the enemy general is fierce and difficult to resist, please retreat quickly."
"Bastard! My man has a general who died in battle, but no general who escaped in the face of battle. Well, when it comes to this, I know how to slow down this guy's speed." Liu Min, who had decided to stand up and shouted at Wen Yang: "The enemy general is Wen Ciqian. The great man's powerful general Liu Min is here. Do you dare to come for a battle?"
"Take~~~! Isn't the old man just trying to delay my speed? But killing you doesn't need to take too much time!" With a contemptuous sound, the war horse under Wen Yang's crotch accelerated again and ran towards Liu Min at a rapid speed!
"Forge a formation! Protect the army!" Liu Min's personal guards quickly divided into two parts, one rushed towards Wen Yang without fear of death, and the other quickly surrounded Liu Min.
But!
A weapon suddenly threw out from Wen Yang's hand, and the super high speed even caused a sound of breaking through the air. It was Wen Yang who threw out the iron whip in his left hand with all his strength!
In an instant, the iron whip hit Liu Min's head. Then Liu Min's head exploded like a watermelon.
"Wen Chu, Qiao County, kill Liu Min, the general of Shu!"
"Thousands of victories! Thousands of victories!!!"
Chapter completed!
