Chapter 433: There are many heroes in Youyan (6)

The battle has been over for a long time, but looking at the blood and corpses on the ground, Jiang Wei, all the Han soldiers were in a very complicated mood.

After all, he was old, so Jiang Wei himself did not take the stage in this battle. After Meng Guan's cavalry team rushed forward, he quickly retreated into the Dazhai guarded by the infantry in the rear. He watched the battle completely above the tower.

No, maybe, it is more accurate to call it a massacre.

"Report to the General, the result of the war between the two sides has come out."

"Read it."

"Okay, in this battle, our army was killed 1,125 people and more than 800 war horses were lost. Among them, six were killed in plate armored heavy cavalry, and three were lost in large horses. The enemy, neighing~~ More than 8,800 people were killed in the enemy, and more than 7,000 war horses were lost. In addition, our army captured more than 6,500 enemy troops and more than 7,000 war horses."

"There are so many heroes in Youyan!"

Jiang Wei saw it clearly above the tower. The heavy cavalry of our side was completely crushing the opponent's light cavalry. If it weren't for the only two thousand heavy cavalry this time, and the light cavalry that protected the flanks of the heavy cavalry were 8,000, this exchange was probably even more amazing than it was.

But even so, the light cavalry of the Jin army still burst out with amazing courage and bravely attacked the heavy cavalry on their side. Although the results of the battle were few, even Jiang Wei, who had fought for a lifetime, was extremely moved in such a scene.

"When cleaning the battlefield, the injured prisoners should do their best to treat them. Find some uninjured prisoners to help our army restrain the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Treat the bodies of the enemy soldiers as well as possible. Then dig holes to bury them separately, identify and mark them properly, so that their families can come to relocate to the burial in the future."

"promise!"

After the messenger bowed and took the order, Hedram took a step forward: "Dear General, your handling is very correct. These warriors deserve such treatment. Such warriors were extremely difficult to see in the former Persia."

"Haha, such warriors are indeed worthy of respect. But it is still an exaggeration to say that they have never heard of it. Didn't the Roman scholars in Chang'an talk about the 300 Spartan warriors? Even my great man, there are also the thirteen warriors of Geng Gong who are famous in history."

"Geng~ Gong Thirteen Warriors, what is this allusion? If the general has time, please give me a detailed explanation for the last general."

"Haha, this is naturally..."

"Report~~! General Zhao pursued the remnants of the enemy army and successfully captured the enemy chief Meng Shushi!"

"Oh? Shan! Great Shan! Quickly bring Uncle Meng Shi to me. Well, you should be polite."

"promise!"

After a while, Zhao Tong escorted Meng Guan into the big tent where Jiang Wei was.

"Hahahaha~~ Is the one who came here a time? It's true that he is young and promising. He's here, let's loosen his ties for General Meng."

"Hehe, thank you General Jiang."

Compared with light cavalry, the ability to break the formation and charge completely crush the opponent. But when it comes to mobility, it is impossible to compare. Therefore, heavy cavalry can never fight alone, and there must be a considerable number of light cavalry of the own side to cooperate. In this battle, although the Jin cavalry tried hard to intercept the heavy cavalry of the Han army, Meng Guan's personal guards bypassed the heavy cavalry of the Han army. However, the Han army also had a large number of light cavalry. Moreover, in this battle, the Han army was sitting at the city and waiting for labor, and the Jin army was on an expedition. Therefore, in terms of horsepower reserve, the Jin army was not as good as the Han army. Therefore, although they ran out for a certain distance, they were still caught by Zhao Tong, who was chasing him.

"Uncle Shi, we are all cheerful people, and we will say it directly. Uncle Shi's talent is deeply loved by Wei, so Jiang Wei asked if he would surrender?"

Meng Guan smiled tragically: "Guan Chongling was promoted by our emperor and entrusted with important tasks. How can he be surrendered? 20,000 Youyan men entrusted their lives to me, but I caused most of them to die in the battlefield. How can he surrender? I just want to die!"

"Oh~~" sighed, and Jiang Wei pulled his beard in silence: "So, I will give my uncle Shi Bai Ling one and leave a whole body."

"Thank you, General. General, Guan still has a message before he died."

"Please speak, uncle."

"Today's decisive battle between Han and Jin, the chances of victory of Jin are actually extremely slim. Guan can only do it to seek life in death. After Meng Guan died today, the general's victory in Youzhou was achieved, so please do your best to treat the people in the next battle."

"Please rest assured about this. Today's battle is not about the battle between one city and one place, but about the unification of the Han Dynasty. The people of Youyan are all my great men. I should treat them well."

"In this way, there is nothing to say about the observation."

"...Hey, someone is here, prepare a glass of wine, I personally send my uncle to the road!"

...

When Meng Guan's cavalry team appeared under Gaoliu City, the soldiers on the city cheered, but Huan Hao, the chief general in the city, was mixed with joy and sorrow. As a colleague who worked with him in his early years, Huan Hao knew Meng Guan's personality very well: he was young and energetic and liked to do one-stop business. It would be fine if he won, but what if he lost?

No matter what, now that friendly troops have arrived outside the city, it is absolutely not allowed to do so if our team does not go out to support. So when Meng Guan's army appears, Huan Hao began to organize the troops in the city to prepare to leave the city to respond.

Unfortunately, his subordinates were all farmers from Jizhou, and he didn't understand the battle formation at all. He shouted on the city wall that he could cheer up his friendly troops. When he talked about his side going out of the city to fight, the whole city suddenly became chaotic.

"This group of ordinary men! It's really useless! It's far from the elite of my official in Yangzhou in the past!"

"Huan Bie Jia, the situation on the battlefield has changed. Please quickly climb the city to watch!"

Then, Huan Hao witnessed the crushing of his light cavalry on the Gaoliu City Wall.

Then there was nothing afterwards. Huan Biejia had worked hard in Yangzhou and the Eastern Wu soldiers in his early years, and was not Xiaobai, who was completely ignorant of the soldiers. He knew very well that at this time, there was no other possibility of going out to the city to support him except being rushed up by the enemy to take advantage of the situation to break the city. Therefore, although seeing the heavy casualties of the friendly troops under the city, Huan Hao gave the order to guard the city gate.

"Hey, Uncle Meng, you must escape. Youzhou cannot be without you."

After praying secretly in his heart, Huan Hao gathered all his family members over: "The reinforcements are completely finished, and this city will eventually be captured. But since I am a sacrificial master, in order to be worthy of the country, I can only follow Zhang Te's example and guard this Gaoliu City for the country for 100 days. In this hundred days, no mistakes will occur, otherwise my Long Kang Huan family will suffer a great disaster again!"

"Please rest assured, the head of the family. We must strictly inspect and urge these Jizhou soldiers to defend the city!"

"Otherwise, the Jizhou soldiers are all new soldiers, and their combat power is almost nothing. The master means to send one person down the city and go to the Sichuan thief, no, go to the Han army's camp..."

"I understand what the head of the family means. Please write a letter from the master, and my subordinates will sneak over tonight."

"Shan, after you went to the Han army camp, you told Jiang Wei that if you agree with my advice, please ask him to withdraw the main force. The master will definitely not leave the house within a hundred days. He will open the city and surrender after a hundred days."

"No, my subordinates know."

...

On November 30, the Mengguan team, who had been lucky enough to collapse from Gaoliu City, finally arrived at the city of Ji County, where Youzhou District was located.

"What? Are you saying that Uncle Shi was defeated! And he was almost wiped out? How is this possible?"

"How dare General Gou, how dare his subordinates deceive such a major event? The Sichuan thief Jiang Boyue deliberately revealed his flaws, which led the envoy to lead his army to the city of Gaoliu. Who would have expected that the Shu thief actually hid a heavy cavalry covered with clothes. Their war horses were extremely tall, and our knights were no less than five inches shorter than the opponent during the battle! The enemy's armor was integrated, and it was extremely difficult to break the armor..."

"Well..." After tossing and turning repeatedly in the lobby, Gou Xi turned around and said, "Where is Envoy Meng?"

"Wuwuwuwu~~~ General Gou, after our army collapsed and broke out, the enemy was chasing him. Meng Jun said that if he didn't surrender, we were afraid that we would not be able to run away. So after letting us go away the soldiers who had not yet had children, he would return to kill the enemy again, and buy us time for escape. The Jun said that we must convey the news that the Sichuan bandits had heavy armored cavalry. Otherwise, our army would suffer a great loss! General Gou, this is the official seal of the envoy, saying that it can be used as a token."

"Well, I understand. Uncle Meng... Okay, you all go down and rest. Come and arrange these warriors well."

"promise!"

After these defeated soldiers were kept, the generals under their command quickly surrounded him: "General, what should our army do now?"

"Hey! I heard the report from Cao in Luoyang in the past, saying that the Shu thieves passed through the Western Regions and made friends with great powers such as Persia and Rome. We even sneered at the Shu thieves and said that they had found a small country from somewhere, and they dared to be called a great power. Now it seems that they are really a great power! Forget it, let alone these useless ones. Everyone, our commander is the 10,000 people with the strongest combat power in Youzhou. Do you know why Meng Jun did not bring these 10,000 people to the battlefield when our troops were obviously insufficient in combat power?"

"Of course I know, General. All 10,000 of us are the most familiar with Youzhou's geography and the most powerful. The reason why the envoys stayed behind us was that if the envoys were defeated on the northern line, all 10,000 of us would have to fight guerrilla warfare, firmly restraining the Shu thieves in Youzhou so that they could not go south!"

"Well said! The food we scattered to storage sites in various places a few days ago has been resettled?"

"It's all settled!"

"Good! The envoy was defeated, and Gaoliu was no longer safe. Once Gaoliu broke, the Great Wall defense line would collapse. The war would be launched on the plain... Now the order is sent to the whole army to prepare its luggage and leave the city immediately. We don't want it. But I will definitely let Jiang Boyue know on this Youji Plain, what is the real cavalry!"
