The Invincible World Summoned by the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 410 Renyuan suspected his troops and retreated from the Yellow Turbans, while Haitian had no choice but to retreat from the army.
Chapter 410 Renyuan suspected his troops and retreated from the Yellow Turbans, while Haitian had no choice but to retreat from the army.
At the same time, the main force of the Yellow Turbans was inside.
"Report... to General Gu, there are scouts who have detected that a large number of Han troops have appeared outside Zhuoxian County, and they are also flying a banner with the word 'Guo' and a banner with the word 'Li'." The messenger immediately informed the scouts.
information sent.
"What? How could Guo Ziqi, Li Ziqi, Guo Yong and Li Diannan come so fast?" Gu Longxian stood up with a shocked look on his face.
Gu Longxian, a famous general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, lived in Guangxi with his father at the age of six and made a living by blacksmithing. He participated in the Taiping Army uprising in the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, and was promoted to the rank of two commanders of the Fourth Army of the Right in the following year.
In the third year after joining the Taiping Army, in May he was promoted to the rank of Deputy Jin, Fourth, Xin, and Fourth Supervisor of the Army, in July, he was promoted to the Fourth General System of Jin, guarding the Taiping Gate of Tianjing, and in August, he was granted the title of Reward and Inspection Point.
In May of the fourth year, he was promoted to the thirty-ninth command on the left side of the palace.
In August, he followed the Western Expeditionary Army to Hanyang, Hubei Province, retreated to Tianjia Town, and locked up the Yangtze River with iron chains to prevent the Hunan Navy from invading.
In December, Tianjia Town was lost. He followed Qin Rigang and others to retreat eastward to Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province and guarded Xiaogu Mountain. The following year, he served as a checkpoint.
Due to the death of Wei Changhui, Gu Longxian surrendered to the Qing army along with Wei Jun. Later, he rebelled against Liu Guanfang and others, returned to the Taiping Army, and later participated in the battle to destroy the Qing army's Jiangnan camp.
After that, he surrendered to the Qing court again, but instead of being greedy for power, he chose to return to his hometown and saved his wealthy life. He was considered one of the few Taiping soldiers to have a good death.
Gu Longxian's ability is still good, and his commander level can reach 90 points. Otherwise, Liu Haitian would not have entrusted him with important tasks and let him and Zhang Keliang command an army each.
According to Gu Longxian's estimation, no matter how fast Guo Yong's army marches, it will take at least two days to reach Zhuoxian County from where it is stationed.
But in the end, he arrived two days early.
There are only two possibilities for this situation:
First, this Han army was a suspicious force deployed by Zhang Renyuan.
Second, before the Yellow Turban Army took action, Guo Yong had a premonition of something and quickly led the army with Li Diannan.
Regarding these two results, Gu Longxian doesn't know which one is correct, because in his opinion, both reasons are possible, and even the second one is more likely. After all, what he is facing now
The opponent is the resourceful Zhang Renyuan.
Zhang Renyuan's reputation among the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army has reached a completely new level these days. Taking the small Zhuojun in front of him as an example, even now, he is still in the hands of the Han Army.
The occurrence of this situation is naturally related to Zhang Renyuan's cleverness. It was precisely because of his military arrangements that many generals of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army suffered losses at his hands.
Among them was Gu Longxian in front of him.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Renyuan dared to use the suspicion strategy, and he was attacking someone who had a preconceived idea.
In the eyes of many Yellow Turban generals, Zhang Renyuan is a resourceful, tough, and extremely difficult guy. In addition, he is also the one who is stationed in Youzhou in Bingzhou, so he must have his own intelligence organization.
In this way, it seems that it is not difficult to accept that he can predict the movements of the Yellow Turban Army in advance.
In this way, Gu Longxian gave himself a seemingly convincing reason and successfully convinced himself.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhang Renyuan has already established a reputation in Youzhou. In addition, he is a nail sent by Wang Yu to Youzhou, which makes Gu Longxian think so. If it were another person,
It is impossible to succeed at all.
But now, Zhang Renyuan seized on the thoughts in Gu Longxian's mind and took the risk to resort to this strategy. Now that he had made the move, the pressure has shifted to Gu Longxian.
There were only two ways before him, the first was to withdraw the troops, and the second was to continue to stare at Zhang Renyuan's army.
But the key point is that he cannot carry all of the 70,000 Yellow Turban main force by himself. Instead, he and Zhang Keliang have half of it, each holding 35,000 troops.
If the people who came to support were really a large army commanded by Guo Yong and Li Diannan, Gu Longxian did not think that the 35,000 Yellow Turban troops in his hands could withstand more than 20,000 Han troops.
After all, he and Zhang Keliang were divided into two groups. Until now, Zhang Keliang's troops were already eighty miles away from him. Once the Han army arrived here, Gu Longxian did not have the confidence to fight with his troops.
, can last for a day.
After all, even a forced march of eighty miles would take a day and a night. It could be said that once the reinforcements of the Han army gathered, with the men and horses in his hands, the only outcome would be the annihilation of the entire army.
But the key is, are the reinforcements really Guo Yong and Li Diannan?
Gu Longxian still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything. Just when Gu Longxian was struggling, Zhang Renyuan sent him an assist, completely dispelling all his doubts.
"Reporting to General Gu, after Guo Yong and Li Diannan's troops arrived at Zhuoxian County, Zhang Renyuan led his army out of the city without saying a word. After the two armies joined forces, a large group of Han troops came towards our army."
"As expected, Zhang Renyuan is really cunning." After hearing the news that the scouts had found out from near Zhuo County, Gu Longxian no longer had any doubts or hesitations in his heart.
He knew very well that Zhang Renyuan only had 20,000 troops to hold him to death. If Guo Yong and Li Diannan's 5,000 troops hadn't arrived, he would never have dared to leave the city rashly.
After all, people who are good at planning generally like to seek stability. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army has a much larger number than the Han Army. Once the Han Army is defeated once, it will never be able to recover.
Only the arrival of Guo Yong and Li Diannan's army gave Zhang Renyuan enough confidence to command more than 20,000 troops and defeat his and Zhang Keliang's 70,000 troops head-on.
After all, he didn't know that he and Zhang Keliang had already separated.
If they had not divided their forces, with three times the enemy's strength, Gu Longxian would have dared to lead the army to a victory. But now, he only has 35,000 troops in hand. If he fights with the Han army, he will definitely not be his opponent.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When thinking of this, Gu Longxian almost did not hesitate and decisively ordered: "Pass the order, for the sake of the overall situation, our army must seize the time to retreat, go
Joining forces with General Zhang will not leave the Han army an opportunity to defeat our army one by one."
"promise."
In this way, Gu Longxian's ability was fully demonstrated in his thoroughness. Under his command, the 35,000 Yellow Turban Army retreated in an orderly manner, leaving no gaps for the enemy.
As everyone knows, Zhang Renyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time, even he didn't have much confidence and could only hope that Gu Longxian was not that kind of reckless man.
In fact, Gu Longxian's acceptable military qualities allowed Zhang Renyuan to successfully deceive the Yellow Turban Army.
After all, for such a strategy to be successfully implemented, it must have indispensable conditions.
That is, the enemy general is not a reckless man, but has certain military qualities and strategies. If he were a reckless man with a strong head, he would not care how many people came, he would just rush forward and do it.
For example, if it were not him but other Yellow Turban generals under Gu Longxian's command, Zhang Renyuan's plan would probably be difficult to implement, especially those rebels in the late Ming Dynasty, who were definitely stubborn people.
Of course, if the Yellow Turban Army really did this, Zhang Renyuan would not be afraid. Instead, he immediately led 17,000 Han troops to directly engage in a decisive battle with Gu Longxian. After all, retreating would only expose the strength and weakness of the Han army.
Zhang Renyuan believed in Gu Longxian and would never let him escape back to Zhuoxian County. Moreover, even in a duel, Zhang Renyuan believed that he would not lose to the Yellow Turban Army.
After all, the Yellow Turban Army in Gu Longxian's hands only had 35,000 people, and they had more than 17,000 people here. They might not be able to defeat Gu Longxian's army before Zhang Keliang's reinforcements arrived.
However, even if he can defeat Gu Longxian, I am afraid that his own damage will not be small. Once Zhang Keliang's reinforcements arrive, they may face the danger of annihilation. Even if they finally break out, they may suffer heavy losses.
Already.
So, it would be better not to fight.
But now, Gu Longxian was afraid of the Han army's front and chose to retreat on his own initiative to clear the road. For Zhang Renyuan, this was the best solution.
However, the matter is not over yet.
This scene had to continue, otherwise it would be easy for Gu Longxian to react, so in the following time, Zhang Renyuan's 17,000 men, disguised as an army of 25,000, headed west at full speed
March.
This rapid marching speed seemed to be an impatient gesture, which made Zhang Keliang, who was doubtful at first, give up the idea.
After Gu Longxian's analysis, Zhang Keliang also felt that what he said made sense. After all, Zhang Renyuan was indeed resourceful, and the intelligence strength of the Bingzhou Army was indeed powerful. So he could predict his own actions, and
It's natural.
Regarding the strength of the Han army, Zhang Keliang and others had already seen that the Yellow Turban Army could not win without several times the strength. But even so, if Zhang Renyuan only had 10,000 troops, how could he dare to fight with their 70,000?
What about the decisive battle between the armies?
It was the powerful combat power of the Han army, coupled with the intelligence strength of the Bingzhou Army, and Zhang Renyuan's own abilities that convinced Gu Longxian and others that Meng Tian had predicted their actions.
Now, there are only two choices before Gu Longxian and Gu Longxian:
The first is to wait for work and directly lead an army of 70,000 to fight Zhang Renyuan. But to be honest, even if they are tied together, they do not have the confidence to defeat Zhang Renyuan. After all, the latter's ability is too strong.
The second was to suspend the encirclement and suppression of Chang Yizhi who was stationed in Fanyang City, join forces with Liu Haitian's army, and then fight Zhang Renyuan with an army of hundreds of thousands, and then defeat the Han in Zhuojun with an absolute superiority in strength.
The army took Zhuojun completely.
After some discussion, the two of them still felt that the second option had a better chance of winning because of its numerical advantage. Therefore, not only did they not stop Zhang Renyuan's army, but they also allowed them to go to Fanyang City.
…………
At this moment, outside Fanyang City.
Liu Haitian had received news that Zhang Renyuan's reinforcements were coming soon, which made him extremely angry. He didn't expect these two guys to be such waste.
Forced by desperation, he could only choose to retreat and lead the remaining thirty thousand troops to join forces with Gu Longxian and Zhang Keliang. After all, he had truly seen Chang Yizhi's ability to defend the city.
If they don't leave, they will face more than 20,000 Han troops. Under such internal and external attacks, his Yellow Turban Army may have no choice but to die.
Just after Liu Haitian's army left for a while, Zhang Renyuan arrived belatedly with reinforcements. Looking at the walls of Fanyang City, he was stunned for a moment, because it was completely different from what he imagined.
He originally thought that due to the fierce attack of the Yellow Turban Army, Fanyang City at this time must be full of limbs and broken arms, but the reality is that these situations do exist, but most of them belong to the Yellow Turban Army.
Although Fanyang City is not small, it is definitely not a strong city. Facing the fierce attack of 50,000 Yellow Turban troops, even if he leads 5,000 Han troops, he may not be able to hold it for a month.
But Chang Yizhi held on. Although it only lasted three days, in these three days, he killed more than 9,000 Yellow Turbans. In addition to the encounters, night attacks, and Liu Haitian's 50,000
The Yellow Turban Army left at least more than 13,000 people in Fanyang City.
As for Changyi's headquarters, they lost more than 1,600 people in total through night raids and encounters, plus this city defense battle. In the face of ten times the enemy, they were still able to defeat nearly 1,000 people.
A record of one to ten.
This defensive ability puts even Zhang Renyuan to shame.
"No wonder my lord told me this when he left. Even if Bole was alive, I'm afraid it would be nothing more than this." Zhang Renyuan sighed.
"General Zhang." After seeing Zhang Renyuan arriving, Chang Yizhi immediately ordered his men to lower the suspension bridge and welcome him into the city. However, when he saw only more than 20,000 reinforcements behind him, Chang Yizhi was completely dumbfounded.
However, before he had time to ask Zhang Renyuan, he was directly interrupted by the latter, and then decisively ordered: "Chang Yi's orders."
"The end will be here." Chang Yizhi gestured with his hands raised.
"Immediately abandon Fanyang City, take away everything you can, and retreat with me and my general to Zhuoxian County. General Guo Yong will also lead the retreat. Zhuoxian County will become the last fortress of our army," Zhang Renyuan said.
said.
"What? Give up Fanyang City?"
When Chang Yizhi heard this, he immediately showed a look of disbelief, so he quickly asked: "But General Zhang, once our army abandons Fanyang City, only the lonely city of Zhuoxian will be left."
"That's better than defeating them one by one." Zhang Renyuan said sternly.
"The current Yellow Turban Army has experienced the test of blood and fire, and its combat power has undergone a radical change. If it continues to be divided into three groups, it is very likely that it will be defeated one by one."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to join forces together. With the defense of Zhuo County, plus the obstacles of Taoyuan Villa and Liu Xuande outside the city, it may not be possible to hold back these hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans."
After hearing Zhang Renyuan's words, Chang Yizhi also chose to meditate. If you like "The Invincible World Summoned at the End of the Han Dynasty", please save it: (www.sodu777.net) The Invincible World Summoned at the End of the Han Dynasty is the fastest updated on the Internet.
