The Han army would never let go of the ten thousand or twenty thousand days of grain in the cities in Longnan. Fan Chunju said to himself that even if he were placed in Zhu Biao and Gao Xie's position, he would not be afraid to throw away so much grain and grass, especially when the enemy was in danger.
If the army "escapes far away", the Han army would otherwise transfer to Dashunguan on a large scale along the official road instead of conveniently taking the Longshan-Weishui Road.
In this way, Zhu Xibu, who was ambushing in Meichuan, could recover some interest for himself.
Fan Chunju was very aware of the importance of Dashunguan, especially the mountains of military equipment and grain, grass, money, and supplies in the warehouse of Dashunguan. In view of the current difficulties in the national power of the Northern Han Dynasty, there is really nothing more important. In other words
, these words can also be applied to the Han army in Longnan. They wiped out the famous Longnan. Although the benefits were not as good as Dashunguan, they were still the wealth of one place.
People are poor and short of breath. They will not let go or throw away any good thing.
Based on his "expectations" and the fact that he did not need too many troops to deal with Taigu, Fan Chunju made up his mind before retreating.
The fact was as Fan Chunju had expected. After receiving the exact information from Dashunguan and the Zhongshan Army, Gao Xie began to raise carriages and horses to transport food, money, and the sick and wounded. After two days of preparation, Gao Xie was defeated.
After leaving, he led the army to escort more than a thousand oxen and horse-drawn carriages along the official road to Dashunguan.
There were still three to four thousand stones of grain and grass left in the manhole, but Gao Xie was not as humane as Chun Ju. He would not leave a grain of grain for the people of Zhongshan even if he burned the endless things on fire.
He really wanted to transport the grain at once, and then he was afraid of leaving, but Xi County is a small county where there are so many carriages and horses, and there is not such a huge manpower (most of the manpower for transporting grain this time is
, less animal power), so they can only be done separately.
More than 10,000 stones of grain and grass, and more than 1,000 oxen and horse-drawn carriages, may not seem like much when you put them on the lips, but actually transporting them is no small matter. The carriages, horses, and oxen are equal to each other, and it is more than ten miles long in a blink of an eye. This is because of the official
The terrain of the road is flat and open, and two cars can run parallel along the road. Otherwise, it would be twenty or thirty miles to go one way.
Zhu Xie, who had been hiding in Meichuan for a long time, felt happy when he learned that the Han army had appeared, and then became furious. He must give the Han army a show this time. He dispatched his troops and led Gao Xie's troops to Meichuan.
A big bag was laid out.
It was already mid-morning when the team left the city, dragging all the way at a very slow speed. They only arrived at Meichuan when the sun was setting.
It was extremely relaxing along the way. Gao Xie thought that the Zhongshan Army was far away from Taigu County, so he did not take any precautions and plunged into the ambush set by Zhu Xie.
Suddenly encountered an ambush, thousands of Zhongshan civilians recruited for transporting grain and driving took the opportunity to cause chaos in Hua San. Two thousand people pulled out a team of more than ten miles. Gao Xie tried his best to gather soldiers to resist, but he could not restore the defeat.
.
In this battle, all the baggage captured by Longnan was seized, and nearly a thousand Han troops were killed. During the retreat, they had to leave behind more than a hundred seriously wounded soldiers, and retreated to Jiufeng City in embarrassment. Gao Xie and Yu Wen were the only ones left.
There are 1,230 people.
Dashunguan, Shoujiangfu.
Zhu Biao, who was standing in the lobby, was filled with a murderous aura, and the icy coldness almost condensed the atmosphere around him. He really didn't expect that after a series of great victories, the ship capsized in the sewer, allowing Fan Chunju to succeed in one fell swoop. He lost tens of thousands of stones, grain, grass and some
Although the money was a pity, it was the death of more than a thousand soldiers that made him even more sad.
Yang Yanzhang, Shi Tianba, Xing Tianxiao, etc. all stood aside respectfully, watching with eyes and mouth, not daring to make the slightest sound. They, especially Xing Tianxiao, had never seen or heard of Zhu Biao getting angry.
, but I don’t want it to be so heart-shaking once it breaks out.
He didn't get angry, nor did he slash anyone with a knife, but just this wordless silence made people hold their breath, as if a huge mountain was weighing down their hearts.
Gao Xie, Yu Wen, and Chu Jian were kneeling in the lobby. They were all in a state of embarrassment, especially Gao Xie. He was fighting hard while gathering his soldiers in the chaos, and almost lost his life to Meichuan.
Chu Jian was responsible for protecting Gao Xie'an from endangering the scout Tan Ma. Like Gao Xie, he did not expect that there would be an ambush by the Zhongshan Army. He was responsible for the failure of this battle.
"Gao Xie! You are the general who leads the army and bear the overall responsibility for the outcome of the war. Thousands of troops died in the battle and tens of thousands of supplies were overturned. It is not an exaggeration for me to behead you. However, the power to demote or behead generals at the rank of lieutenant lies with the court, not with me.
General, I will record this offense before you, and temporarily demote me to the rank of army commander, so that you can make meritorious deeds before setting out to attack the army.
After this battle, I will report it to the imperial court and deal with it on the imperial court’s terms!”
"Yu Wen! I can kill the general of Army Sima in front of the general's tent. But I think you have done a good job in containing the Zhongshan Army in the front, otherwise the defeated general is in the back. You only have to bear the second crime, so I will spare your life for the time being.
The Army Sima was demoted to the position of Du Bo, a fake military marquis, and he temporarily replaced the remaining army in your command."
"Chu Jian! You are an important person in the Tingwei Mansion, and I have no right to punish you. Your guilt will be decided by the Tingwei after the war. However, even if you serve in front of the army, military discipline and law can control you. This is
If the battle is defeated, the general must give an explanation and an answer to the soldiers.
Gao Xie, Yu Wen! Together with you and two others, the three of you will be whipped fifty times each."
"Drag me down——"
A general was surrendered to the court by Zhu Biao. Now there is no military officer in the army, so Zhu Biao is responsible for all decisions and merits.
After the military order was handed down, Feng Enjiang winked, and seven famous guards on the left and right came out. One in front and six behind, the person in front picked up the military order, and the remaining six people, two in a pair, held the Chu sword with their backhand, high
Xie and Yu Wen were the three of them.
Of course, the three of them did not resist and allowed themselves to be suppressed by the soldiers.
Looking at the empty lobby, Zhu Biao thought about the lost food, grass, soldiers and horses again, and felt deeply regretful in his heart. He also secretly warned: "You can't be careless, you can't be careless, you can't be careless until the last moment!"
After the remnants of Gao Xie's army came from the Weishui Road in Longshan, Zhu Biao had 3,000 men. When they entered Ningwu Valley, their strength had been reduced by 40%. If not for the outstanding results, the defeat of Longnan would not have been caused by Zhu Biao himself.
Yes, morale may have been damaged.
It's not bad now, it's still at **10 o'clock level.
"Now let's talk about the more than 100 wounded in our army during the defeat of Meichuan. According to Chu Jian, all of them have been killed now." Zhu Biao's sharp eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall, "Zhu Xie deserves death, Fan Chunju deserves death, everyone involved
The Zhongshan Army in the Battle of Meichuan deserves to die. This general will definitely take revenge——"
"Send a message to this general and send it to the Longshan and Weizhong areas. The Zhongshan army is killing prisoners of war. Our army will repay them ten times. Fan Chun of Zhongshan will retaliate. If there is a war in the future, not a single piece of armor will be left behind. Kill them all.
To repay the spirit of my soldiers in heaven!"
"Tomorrow we will organize our troops, and the day after tomorrow we will be able to pacify the enemy."
"Yang Yanzhang!"
"The end will be here."
"I'll give you a thousand soldiers and horses to guard Dashun Pass for me."
It's a hot summer day, but no one can feel the biting cold under the Changping Fortress, and the murderous intent and bloody smell almost condensed in the air can make people shiver from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhu Biao stood on his horse in front of the Changping Fortress with a calm look on his face. The murderous intent was hidden in his eyes, only the coldness that penetrated the bones of his bones was revealed.
On the narrow road in front of the pass, there were twenty or thirty corpses of the Zhongshan Army lying in random directions. The terrain of Changping Fortress was dangerous, but it was facing north rather than south. Ever since he knew that Dashunguan fell into the hands of the Han army, Luo Yunzhuo began to consolidate himself.
behind.
As soon as food and supplies were collected into the fortress, a watchtower was built, and sergeants were sent to watch day and night. If any trouble was detected, they would immediately light a fire to warn.
Zhu Biao's response to this was to go to the masters. Xing Tianxiao and Shi Tianba led the team and destroyed every Zhongshan Army watchtower they saw along the way.
Now we are at the last place before arriving at Changping Fortress. Because it is very close to Changping Fortress, there are more soldiers deployed here. But in front of two top masters, twenty or thirty Zhongshan soldiers are nothing to mention.
The drums beat loudly and the trumpets sounded.
In the afternoon, bursts of powerful trumpets sounded in the south of Changping Fortress. Ten newly assembled rams and ten wells were assembled together, like giant beasts with their heads held high, walking with slow and firm steps.
Little by little they were approaching the wall in the south of the fortress. Behind them were a thousand Han soldiers ready to go.
Two thousand men attacking a fortress are really short of manpower.
Twenty rams, Jinglan is all the military power Zhu Biao can deploy. It's not that the reserves at Dashunguan are gone, but that Zhu Biao doesn't have the troops to use so many equipment.
After the situation between the Northern Han Dynasty and Zhongshan turned around, many of the instruments from Baizhu Pass were first transported back to Changping Fortress, and then to Dashunguan Pass.
This was Fan Chunju's precaution. In case Changping fortress fell, wouldn't all the siege equipment be useless to the enemy?
Thanks to Shi Tianba's quick attack, Zhu Biao completely took over all the property of the Zhongshan Army in Dashun Pass. It was wonderful to have these weapons really be used by the enemy!
He couldn't even build a ladder truck without the accompanying craftsmen for many siege equipment. The city walls of this era were simply too high, and they were simply not comparable to those of China on Earth.
There are some captured craftsmen in Dashun Pass, Sanshi, and several counties in Gaoming, and a lot of them can be collected from the people. However, just like the Han court in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Zhongshan Kingdom was not interested in the Northern Han Dynasty, but it was not interested in its own subjects.
He had no fault of his own. People wanted it, and Zhu Biao really couldn't imagine how long it would take for those craftsmen to make the corresponding equipment.
Unless Zhu Biao really turns himself into an 'invading army that commits all evil', threatening him with death and a bloody butcher's knife.
Opposite Changping Fortress, Huangfu Jian and Li Panlong have also taken action.
It was just a fortress away. As soon as Zhu Biao's war drums beat loudly, of course the other side knew about it. In an instant, the morale of the Han army in front of the fortress was greatly shaken!
The five thousand troops who came out of Ningwugu must have established a good situation in Weizhong, otherwise how could they attack the back of Changping Fortress? Moreover, Changping Fortress has transferred a lot of people in the past few days, and the sentinels at the top of the city have recently been
It is obviously not as dense as before, and the frequency of the same face has more than doubled.
what does that mean?
Anyone with a brain will know it. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
