Chapter 456 The War at Huguan, Wu Wenhua Appears (Part 1)
Wang Le's awakened imperial skills are obviously skills for training the army. Those Yellow Turban soldiers have not had any problems since they were demoted and have become more and more integrated into the Liaodong Army. I am afraid it is the influence brought by the imperial army.
It can be said that people with this skill are specially prepared for surrendering troops, and can help them integrate into one's own army as quickly as possible.
As for Effect 2 and Effect 3, they are the ordinary commander's increase and the skill effect of force increase. Generally speaking, they are pretty good.
If Wang Le successfully advances to the Iron Army, this skill will be more effective.
However, with Wang Le's strength, if there is no powerful opportunity to support him, he may not be able to successfully upgrade the military skills to the iron army skills in his life.
After all, ultimate skills are not so easy to advance.
[Ding dong, Wang Le’s skill ‘Army Control’ effect 2 is activated. During field battles and city defense battles, his own command level is 2, and the morale and fighting will of his troops will be greatly increased;
Wang Le’s basic commander is 94 (1), and the current commander has been raised to 96;]
The reason Wang Le made such an arrangement was naturally because Xu Rong's ability was slightly better than his. With him stationed in Jixian, even if there were three thousand less cavalry, there would be no problems in a short time.
Keeping Wang Yin as an assistant is also a kind of supervision. This is the strategy that the Wang family generals have always formulated when leading the army in war. Generals with foreign surnames are surrounded by people from the Wang family.
When Wang Chong was in Liaodong, although he paid attention to cultivating the children of the clan, this does not mean that he ignored people with foreign surnames. On the contrary, as long as you have the ability, you can obtain the same resources as the children of the Wang family, or even more.
many.
All aristocratic families like to favor nepotism, and the Wang family is no exception. It can also be said that no one is an exception. However, the Wang family does not do so exaggeratedly.
The reason why he took Mao Cai with him was naturally because he and Xu Rong were at odds with each other. Leaving him here would easily cause trouble, so Wang Le took Mao Cai with him.
In this way, Xu Rong has no one who can restrain him.
…………
On the battlefield of Youzhou, Wang Le commanded three thousand elite cavalry and prepared to march west to support Zhuoxian County. At the same time, the Battle of Liyang in the south was about to break out.
Although Zhang Shicheng had extraordinary ability in commanding the army, and he also possessed the invincible generals of Jin and Lu. With such an invincible general, it stands to reason that his army should be invincible wherever it goes.
Zhang Shicheng's original intention was very simple, that is, to take over Liyang, and then divide his troops into several groups, completely cutting off the connection between Jiujiang County and Danyang County.
As long as this goal is achieved, Zhang Shicheng can use his numerical advantage to advance step by step in Yangzhou.
Zhang Shicheng's strategic plan was well formulated. Unfortunately, the only thing he did wrong was that he underestimated the ability of Yangzhou Governor Qian Daoji. What's more, he was assisted by Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian.
If it was just this, Zhang Shicheng wouldn't have a headache, but what he didn't expect was that the five thousand Han troops from Xuzhou, under the command of Han general Wang Dian, had already arrived in Jiujiang County.
This made Zhang Shicheng instantly furious and cursed Xuzhou Huangjinqu for being handsome and incompetent, but actually let Wang Dian come and kill him without anyone noticing.
According to the distance from Shouchun to Liyang, the Han army could arrive in three days. With this time alone, the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to defeat Liyang, and by then, it would be a stalemate.
There may even be a double attack from the Han general Tao Qian in the rear, and then their army will be really in danger.
…………
As for Nanyang.
When Qin Jie and Xu Qiu led reinforcements and arrived here in time, Yun Kuang's offensive was also greatly affected.
After all, Xu Xuan led an army of 15,000 this time, plus the original troops and horses in the city, and Zhao Pusheng, a general who is good at defense, personally commanded, no matter how powerful Yun Kuang was, there was nothing he could do
In a short time, Yuancheng was captured.
However, although Yun Kuang can't do anything about Yuancheng, it doesn't mean that he can't do anything about other places in Jingzhou!
Under Qian Zhong's plan, Jiangxia Zhao Ci rebelled.
Zhao Ci was originally a soldier of Jiangxia. In February of the third year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty (186), Zhao Ci rebelled, killed Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, and conquered six counties.
In June, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Yang Xu, the new governor of Nanyang, led their troops to conquer and killed Zhao Ci.
It can be said that this is a very ambitious person, and Qian Zhong, who was looking for a way to break the situation, quickly locked onto this person through the news delivered by Taipingwei.
Zhao Ci has good abilities. If he is allowed to be a troublemaker in Jiangxia, Xu Xuan, the governor of Jingzhou, may not be stable.
After all, Jiangxia is not that far away from Jiangling, the seat of Jingzhou.
When his base camp was facing a crisis, Qian Zhong didn't believe that Xu Qiu could still have the energy to guard Yuancheng. As long as the people in the city were not unified, the Yellow Turban Army would have a chance.
However, Qian Zhong had Zhang Liang's plan, and the Han army also had bridge-crossing ladders. Although Chen Gong's intelligence had not reached its peak, in these days, he had been fighting Qian Zhong's wits, and his own abilities had improved to a great extent.
The original basic intelligence of 94 has been changed to the current 95.
In response to Qian Zhong's plan, Chen Gong's plan was to stay in Yicheng with Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao is a hexagonal warrior. Not only can he bring order to an army, but he also has the ability to lead an army that has been praised by his lord Wang Yu. In these years, he has also practiced the art of war, and there is absolutely no problem in leading an army alone.
What's more, Yicheng still has Hua Xin and others assisting him, so even if Zhong Yao leads the army and leaves, it will not have any impact.
With Chen Gong's comfort, Xu Qiu temporarily felt relieved.
However, Chen Gong also knew that this only temporarily reassured Xu Xuan. Since the Yellow Turban Army could instigate Zhao Ci, it may not be able to instigate Qian Ci.
At this time, Chen Gong already had the idea of persuading Nanyang Governor Chu Gong to abandon Yuancheng and fight in Nanjun.
Because, not long ago, Yun Kuang saw that Yuan Cheng could not be captured for a long time, so he did not launch a large-scale offensive, but instead surrounded it, and ordered General Long Fei to attack Xinye and other places, and go south to attack Nanjun.
…………
Just as the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou and other places were attacking the cities around the Han states, wars broke out one after another in the southern part of Bingzhou.
At this time, more than 90% of the Bingzhou Army was led out of Dingxiang County by Wang Yu to fight against the Xianbei and other foreign tribes. It happened to be the time when they could not spare any troops.
And other counties in Bingnan have also mobilized a lot of troops. It can be said that Shangdang County at this time is almost an empty shell, and there are not many soldiers to fight at all.
And Zhang Jiao is now even more busy dealing with the main force of the Han army. How can he care about him, an ordinary Yellow Turban Qushuai. Therefore, Tian Hu already has something in his heart at this time. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, he quickly
The idea of capturing Shangdang County.
Today, Tian Hu is recruiting troops in the Taihang Mountains. In just six or seven years, he has recruited hundreds of thousands of troops.
However, the quality of these people varied greatly. Before the Han Dynasty was completely in chaos, Tian Hu did not dare to attack Bingzhou and counties.
Therefore, in these years, Tian Hu has been developing in the Taihang Mountains and turning it into his own back garden, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
And now, the opportunity has finally come.
When the news came from the Taiping Guards that more than 300,000 Bingzhou troops were marching out of the fortress and preparing to capture the Hetao area, Tian Hu was almost scared to death.
There are more than 300,000 Bingzhou troops. No one will be afraid of being a neighbor with such an army, especially since this neighbor will become stronger and stronger.
In Water Margin, Tian Hu is undoubtedly a supporting role, providing experience packages for the Liangshan forces. However, in this world, there is no so-called protagonist halo, and Tian Hu's advantages are further expanded.
Take his political attributes. In the past few years of growth, he has instantly changed from 76 points to more than 80 points now. He is no longer a political novice.
Therefore, Tian Hu, who has certain political sensitivity, naturally does not want to miss this opportunity. If he does not take advantage of Wang Yu's opportunity to deal with them and send troops to capture Shangdang County, he will wait until Wang Yu returns from the victory.
After that, Tian Hu was definitely the first one to be operated on.
Therefore, after Tian Hu gathered his troops, he sent General Shan Shiqi to command 30,000 troops to attack the counties of Shangdang County.
When Shan Shiqi was born, the basic commander was only 86, but in these years, he has been acting as a vanguard, taking advantage of the geographical conditions of the Taihang Mountains to harass the counties in Shangdang County.
Unknowingly, the commander's attributes have been improved to a certain extent.
But three years ago, when Hao Jian, the governor of Shangdang, merged with Hao Yaoqi's soul and his whole person underwent earth-shaking changes, Shan Shiqi's nightmare came.
Hao Jian, who had a commander-in-chief of 94, commanded tens of thousands of Shangdang and state troops. Near the Taihang Mountains, he chased the mountain soldiers like dogs. There was really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
If Tian Hu hadn't provided timely support, Shan Shiqi would have almost died in Zhu Jing's hands.
However, in these years, although Shan Shiqi's life has been miserable, it is not without any effect. At least his five-dimensional attributes have been greatly improved.
Take Shan Shiqi's commander attribute as an example. It has now reached 89 points, which is at the peak level of Black Iron. Among the many generals that have appeared in Water Margin, he is also among the best.
And this is also thanks to Hao Jian's crazy pursuit.
Shangdang County has a total of thirteen counties under its jurisdiction. Under the offensive of Tian Hu's army, there are now three counties in the hands of Tian Hu's army, namely Yang'a, Gaodu, and Xuushi.
…………
Bingzhou, Huguankou!
Huguan, the geographical location here is more dangerous, and it is also the most convenient passage from the Central Plains to Taihang.
In the original history, when Cao Cao conquered Bingzhou, the senior officials relied on the natural dangers of Huguan to defend it. Cao Cao was unable to attack repeatedly. In frustration, he even wanted to trap and kill all Yuan Shao's surrendered soldiers.
Huguankou, guarded by Gao Gan, is 50 kilometers southeast of Huguan County. It is located deep in the Grand Canyon of the Taihang Mountains. It is an ancient plank road from Wuzhi Gorge to Longquan Gorge. The mountain is high, the ravine is deep and the road is dangerous.
During the Warring States Period, it was a strategic location where Qin, Zhao and Han fought over each other. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the main channel for troops to use Taihang. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was the main food route. Since ancient times, it has been the pass from the Central Plains to Shangdang. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
After the three southern counties of Shangdang fell, Hao Jian commanded eight thousand troops to come to the rescue. The reason why he only brought these troops was because he could not send more troops.
After all, the Shangdang had the steep terrain of Huguan. If they wanted to capture it, they had to capture the Huguan area. They could not even think about capturing Bingzhou from the south.
After Tian Hu's army attacked, Hao Jian conveyed the news to Murong Ke, who was in Jinyang at this time. When Murong Ke learned the news, his face suddenly turned ugly.
After all, a little Tian Hu dared to take advantage of the emptiness of Bingzhou to command the bandits from the Taihang Mountains to invade Shangdang. This meant that Murong Ke did not take him seriously at all.
Therefore, he decided to use Tian Hu to establish his power and scare some Murong Ke who wanted to take advantage of the situation. He personally ordered the 10,000 recruits recently recruited and 5,000 veterans to kill in the direction of Huguan.
As the number one general in the Sixteen Kingdoms, Murong Ke was not only unparalleled in his ability to command an army, but his ability to train troops was not weaker than his ability to command an army.
After Murong Ke took charge of Bingzhou, he had trained 10,000 new soldiers to a certain level in just over two months. Now, it was time to go to the battlefield.
However, just when General Murong Ke, commanding an army of fifteen thousand, was heading towards Huguan, a battle was taking place on the Huguan battlefield.
Huguan.
Hao Jian, the governor of Shangdang, ordered people to ask for help from Jinyang after Tian Hu's troops pressed the border. At the same time, he personally commanded the army under his eldest son and went to Huguan to provide support.
The terrain of Huguan is very dangerous. After all, fifty miles away from it, there is a mouth formed by overlapping mountains. The terrain here is not weaker than that of Huguan. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and no one can open it.
After Hao Jian learned that the Yellow Turban Army was attacking, he immediately sent his fellow sect general Hao Chun with two thousand troops to camp here to resist Tian Hu's army.
At this time, Hao Chun had resisted for five days.
In these five days, Hao Chun's 1,000-strong army used the terrain to directly kill 8,000 Yellow Turbans. You must know that there were 50,000 Yellow Turbans in this attack.
Facing 25 times the strength of the troops, and persisting for five days, they were able to achieve such shocking results, which shows how terrifying the terrain at Huguankou is.
But today, Hao Chun could no longer hold on. After five days of continuous offensive by the Yellow Turban Army, only more than 600 of his two thousand troops were left. Facing the Yellow Turban Army, which was almost a hundred times more powerful,
At this time, the Hu Pass seemed to be crumbling.
"Go down with the order, beat the drums to cheer up, and fight to the death with the Yellow Turban rebels." Hao Chun immediately gave the final order.
"While the drums remain, the drums perish, the drummers perish." After the drummer made a promise, he beat the war drum in front of him.
"Dong~dong~dong..."
"Brothers, fight to the death and kill."
As the general, Hao Chun took the lead this time. He raised his sword and waved it in the air. In less than a moment, he killed more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers.
"The enemy general Xiu is so rampant, General Lu Hui is here to kill you."
