The enemy rode past Taiping Mountain and left the valley on the east bank of the Han River. They circled from the south of Heishigou to the front of Pinglin Port. They wanted to avoid the main force of Liu Zhenzhi's troops who were intercepting the front line of Longzui Mountain. However, they did not know that they were in front of Tiesong River.
The wide valley is a trap to bury them here.
After confirming that the main force of the enemy cavalry had been lured into the area between Queshi Ridge and Heishigou, Liu Zhenzhi made a prompt decision and led the elite three brigade to attack from Longzui Mountain towards the southern foot of Heishigou, blocking the enemy's cavalry from entering between Taiping Mountain and Heishigou.
way out.
Meng Anchan still didn't know that he had fallen into the trap, and was afraid that he would not easily give up the hope of breaking through Tiesong River and escaping north at this time. However, at the same time, he had to send half of his troops to retreat to the southern foot of Heishigou to intercept the flanking attack from Longzui Mountain.
The Huaidong Army and Meng Anchan's 14,500 cavalrymen just pulled away from the north and south lines, revealing their vulnerable flanks.
Although Meng Anchan deployed hundreds of cavalry at the pass between the southern foot of Queshi Mountain and Taiping Mountain to guard against an ambush coming from Huaidong, compared with the three thousand soldiers led by Sun Zhuang who fought out of the forest valley at the southern foot of Queshi Mountain,
Wearing armor and light cavalry, the enemy soldiers were scattered at the pass at the southern foot of Quegui Mountain. The vigilant troops and horses seemed too thin and careless.
A large group of cavalry rushed out from the mountain pass three or four miles wide, rolling up fallen leaves and swirling them in a cloud of dust. They brandished their sharp swords, shining with life-threatening light under the sun that was rising above the mulberry trees, like a vast ocean.
The sparkling light.
Hundreds of enemy cavalrymen on guard at the pass at the southern foot of Quebi Mountain also bravely intercepted them and galloped over to fight. However, the Huaidong cavalry rushed out one after another and, with a suppressive force advantage, arrived before enemy reinforcements arrived.
, then broke through the enemy's warning line of defense at the southern foot of Quegui Ridge, and like a strong wind, pounced on the enemy soldiers attracted in front of the Tiesong River defense line;
An elite brigade that came for reinforcements on Liu Zhenzhi's order, led by brigade commander Liang Shou, also rushed from the south of Zaoyang to Pinglin Port at sunset. After joining forces with Luo Wenhu and Chen Daozi, they immediately launched a counterattack from the cross slope and crossed the
Tiesong Creek, cooperate with the cavalry camp to violently attack the enemy on the south bank of Tiesong Creek.
Occupied by the terrain, Meng Anchan's troops were unable to take advantage of the highly mobile cavalry. Meng Anchan and other enemy generals originally hoped to break through Tiesongxi's defense line and escape to the new wilderness. Who would have thought that Tiesongxi was basically Huaihe River?
The trap set by the Eastern Army, from the hope of breaking out to the discovery that it was a trap called the Huaidong Army's encirclement, everyone from the generals to the soldiers were panicked and inevitably despaired. In addition, the two days of forced march and the half-day forced attack on the iron
Songxi, the soldiers' physical strength was stretched to the limit.
Although the situation of the Huaidong Army may not be better, on the local battlefield at this time, the Huaidong Army occupies an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of strength. It is also attacking the enemy from the north and the south. It was exhausted and exhausted before.
The Huaidong soldiers on the ground were struggling to get up from the ground at this time, picking up their swords and spears to cut off more heads of the enemy soldiers in order to gain merit in the battle.
The enemy at Tiesong River was quickly defeated by Sun Zhuang, Liang Shou, Luo Wenhu, and Chen Daozi from the north and south, and was defeated. The enemy at the southern foot of Heishigou was unable to hold on until noon and collapsed.
Pursuing and annihilating the enemy, he had his own cavalry camp and the remaining elite infantry camp to carry out the execution. Luo Wenhu was ordered to retreat to Tiesong Creek to build and repair the camp...
Although his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and although Luo Wenhu also suffered a stray arrow wound on his left shoulder, Luo Wenhu could not suppress his excitement to be in such a great victory, and he was the victor.
Sweep away.
With 15,000 infantry and 4,000 to 5,000 cavalry, the enemy cavalry team of approximately 15,600 people was completely surrounded and annihilated in the area before Pinglinbu. Watching the mountains and valleys being slaughtered, the defeated enemy and the
Luo Wenhu's hands and feet were trembling with excitement about the ownerless war horse running around in the mountains.
When he was in the Suizhou Army, he never imagined that he could annihilate an entire cavalry team of 15,000 or 6,000 people. He never imagined that he could participate in such a great victory. In Lishan, he was forced to surrender due to the situation.
Huaidong sought for his whole body and his whole family. By this time, Luo Wenhu could not help but be excited that the Huaidong Army could achieve such a great victory, and he was also excited that he could participate in it:
Only such a battalion is worth joining and serving. Luo Wenhu was eager to see Lin Fu. He wanted to see what kind of hero he was, who could create such a hero in less than ten years.
An army that was as strong as iron, wanted to know what kind of strength he had that made countless Huaidong brave generals and fierce soldiers willing to serve him in front of the army, willing to risk their lives for him.
In the past, Luo Wenhu only thought that Luo Xiancheng was a rare hero in the world, unmatched by anyone else in the world, but compared with the troubles in Suizhou and Huaidong, Luo Xiancheng was probably not even worthy of carrying Lin Fu's shoes...
If the medical officer hadn't dragged Cao Peng over and dragged him to the wounded camp for treatment of arrow wounds, Luo Wenhu would have only wanted to stand on the top of the mountain forever and watch the mountains and valleys filled with pursuit of enemies, and the valleys as dense as sheep.
The same ownerless war horse is waiting for them to capture...
Over the years, Luo Wenhu has been kicking Luo Xiancheng in the remote Lishan Mountain. Never has there ever been a moment when supplies were abundant, and he was so excited that he burst into tears. There were almost more than 20,000 war horses blocked south of Heishigou. Luo Wenhu only had to think about it.
He was so excited that he was thinking about getting hundreds of horses to increase his fighting power after the war.
****************
In the Battle of Tiesongxi, almost all of Meng Anchan's cavalry were blocked in front of Heishigou and surrounded and annihilated. Not only did it effectively kill the direct troops of Yan and Hu, but after the war, a large number of war horses were captured to strengthen the Huaidong Army's cavalry camp.
The annihilation of Meng Anchan's enemies also means that there will no longer be complete enemy resistance on the east bank of the Han River and in the area before the Dahong Mountains, which will greatly accelerate the northward advance of the main force of the Huaidong Army on the southern front - Sun Zhuang
He did not join up with Liu Zhenzhi, nor did he follow his troops to chase down the defeated enemy. In order to avoid Lin Fu scolding him for not paying attention to the rain on the battlefield after the war, he also retreated to Tiesong River to rest and recuperate, surrounded by dozens of horsemen.
Luo Wenhu was in the tent of the injured camp asking the medical officer to stitch up his injured left shoulder. Sun Zhuang opened the curtain and walked in, indicating that he did not need to stand up and salute, and said: "Luo Xiucai, you fought well in this battle!"
The arrow wound on Luo Wenhu's left shoulder was quite deep. Although no muscles or bones were injured, he was busy directing the battle in the early stage, and his face looked pale after excessive blood loss. The medical officer untied his armor and cleaned his wound with high-purity distilled liquor.
After that, the wound is stitched with stitches and medicine is applied to the wound.
Luo Wenhu also knew that he fought well, but when he praised Sun Zhuang, he still couldn't help but grin - thinking that he regarded Sun Zhuang as not a grassroots bandit, but at this time he recognized Sun Zhuang's leadership of him, so he valued Sun Zhuang.
of praise.
Luo Wenhu looked at his left shoulder, which was tightly wrapped with gauze. He bent it hard and felt that there was no stinging pain when he started washing the wound. Such an arrow wound seemed to be only a minor injury. He smiled and replied to Sun Zhuang: "If it weren't for Cao
Joining the army, Brigadier Chen was here, and he almost failed to hold on and missed a major event. He is really far from the elite of the direct line of the Huaidong Army..."
"If you dare to go into the battle formation and watch the enemy's cavalry rush in without retreating, you're not far off." Sun Zhuang said, asking Luo Wenhu to accompany him to visit the injured general.
Because Luo Wenhu's troops suffered heavy casualties, nearly half of them were reduced in this battle. Sun Zhuang asked Liu Zhenzhi to transfer all his medical officers, and temporarily set up a wounded camp on the north bank of Tiesong River, and sent the wounded soldiers from other infantry and cavalry brigades.
They also all gathered in Tiesong River for treatment.
Although the Battle of Tiesongxi was a total annihilation victory, and all that was left was to chase and annihilate the defeated troops who blocked the gap to escape east or north, at this time, there were nearly 2,000 wounded soldiers gathered at Tiesongxi for treatment.
This does not include the more than 400 soldiers who have died on the battlefield. The saying of killing 10,000 enemies and damaging 3,000 yourself is quite true.
However, Luo Wenhu also realized once again that the Huaidong Army was far stronger than the refugee army.
When Luo Wenhu was guarding Lishan, there was only one doctor in Lishan City who could take medicine and treat people. However, since the trade routes were blocked, medicinal materials and iron salts became the most scarce supplies in Lishan. If such a large-scale war broke out,
Except for a few generals, it is impossible for the vast majority of injured soldiers to receive timely treatment. In a big battle, a small number of generals die on the spot. The number of generals who die from wounds ulceration due to excessive blood loss or lack of effective treatment often accounts for
to the majority.
The generals of the Huaidong Army carry hemostatic medicine with them and can bandage minor wounds by themselves. There are specialized medical officers accompanying the army at the camp and post level, and at the town and division level, they can set up on the battlefield a scale that can treat thousands of people at the same time.
The wounded rescue camp. And the Huaidong Army medical officers' methods of treating trauma are unprecedented in Luo Wenhu, who claims to be both civilized and military, and proficient in medical skills...
Although Luo Wenhu's troops were reduced by more than half in this battle, as long as some time passes, as long as the wounded soldiers who experienced the bloody battle are treated and returned to the camp, and some healthy people are replenished, the combat strength will definitely rise significantly compared to before the war.
For example, in the refugee army, due to the lack of medical treatment, a large number of wounded soldiers would eventually become sick, disabled, and die. The army could only become weaker and weaker as it fought, and there was no way to become stronger as it fought.
At this time, there was a noise from the tent in front. Luo Wenhu and Sun Zhuang opened the curtain and walked in. They saw Tian Su, the leader of the captured soldiers, grabbing the collar of an injured camp nurse and yelling at him. Others were scattered aside to watch the show. At that time, there was a lot of excitement in the army.
It is taboo for women to enter the military camp. The Huaidong Army has long recruited women on a large scale to be nurses in the injured camp. After Luo Wenhu asked carefully, he found out that Tian Su secretly drank the medicinal wine used to clean wounds and grabbed this rich nurse three times before yelling at him.
, the others just looked at the excitement and made a fuss, and then became quiet when they saw Luo Wenhu and Sun Zhuang coming in.
"I have never drunk such good wine in my life. Let me take another sip and you will curse my ancestors for eighteen generations." Tian Su did not notice Luo Wenhu walking in with Sun Zhuang, and asked the nurse to give the bottle to him with a shy face.
he.
"Tian Su, don't be so presumptuous," Luo Wenhu stopped Tian Su from shouting, and introduced to Sun Zhuang, "The soldiers who surrendered from captivity killed twenty-one enemies in succession in front of the formation today. They were seriously injured and were not injured.
It's really embarrassing to think that he still has the energy to steal wine here."
"It's really worthless. If you take one more sip of the wounded wine from the wounded camp, you might be able to save one less person." Sun Zhuang grimaced, untied a tin pot tied under his placket, and asked Tian Su
Throwing it away, he said, "Seeing that you have made great achievements in battle today and are injured, I won't punish you. I will reward you with this..."
Tian Su saw that Sun Zhuang had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a burly figure. He knew at a glance that he was a military commander that he could not match. Seeing that the tin pot he threw was as bright as silver, he thought it was a silver pot. He shook it and listened to the sound of water inside.
Bang Bang Liang, knowing it was wine, made others look at it with envy in their eyes. He quickly got up and kowtowed to express gratitude: "Thank you, General, for the wine. After drinking, who can I ask to return this precious silver pot to the General?"
"Ignorant guy, this is a tin pot, not a silver pot. It's not expensive. You can keep it." Sun Zhuang laughed and said, "Don't kowtow all the time. This is not the way in the Huaidong Army."
Luo Wenhu said, "I like this guy. After the war, the army will select generals with meritorious service to go to the combat training school to learn tactics and the art of war. Remember to send him there..."
At this time, Cao Peng came over and said to Sun Zhuang and Luo Wenhu: "There are military orders coming from Huangzhou..."
Sun Zhuang and Luo Wenhu walked out of the wounded camp. He also knew a few words. He took the military order and read it over, but he couldn't recognize a few words. He gave it back to Cao Peng and said, "Say it again..."
"The main thing is to ask Liu Zhenzhi to lead his troops to build camps and rest in the valley on the east bank of the Han River at the southwest foot of Longzui Mountain, and be prepared to cause the water camp to move north and cross the Han River into Zhongyi and Xiangyang," Cao Peng said, "Huangpi
Although the main force there is progressing smoothly in encircling and annihilating the defeated enemy south of Panpo, and Chen Zhizhi's army has led his troops to capture Shicheng, the main force of the water camp has not yet been able to enter the Han River. It will take three to five days before they can go north. In addition, Cao Cao needs to
After the commander cleared out the remaining enemy forces in Suizhou, he moved some troops and horses to Zaoyang. The cavalry camp also rested between Fancheng and Zaoyang. It is not appropriate to go too far north..."
Liu Zhenzhi led his troops to build a camp on the bank of the Han River. Together with Fancheng and Zaoyang, they would form a triangular military deployment that completely blocked the east bank of the Han River. In addition to supporting each other, they could also form a threat to the west bank of the Han River in Fancheng and Longzuishan.
The enemy's deployment across the river forced the enemy on the west bank of the Han River to disperse part of their forces between Xiangyang and Zhongyi to prevent the Huaidong Army from directly crossing the river and hitting its rear.
"We can't fight Chen Zhihu this time!" Sun Zhuang frowned and said regretfully.
"Not necessarily. When Huangpi's main force comes over, if Chen Zhihu doesn't know what's going on and counterattacks, then I'll knock out one of his teeth." Cao Peng said.
"Chen Zhihu may not be so ignorant of good and evil." Sun Zhuang said.
The main force of Chen Zhihu's troops will all enter the Nanyang Basin after tomorrow at the latest. They will join Tu'an and have 60,000 troops north of Xinye. Even if Cao Ziang leads the main force of Chaishan troops, they will only have 40,000 troops south of Fancheng.
Horses are not enough to form the force advantage to immediately move north to regain Nanyang; they can only wait for the main force of the Huaidong Army on the southern front to arrive and join forces.
Luo Wenhu secretly sighed: The overall situation on the east bank of the Han River has been settled. Yanhu will never be able to make a comeback on the east bank of the Han River. Although Luo Xiancheng still has 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in Lishan, as long as the main force of the Chaishan ambush moves westward to Zaoyang
, taking a peek at the hilly area connecting Tongbai Mountain and Huaishan Mountain, Luo Xiancheng will lose his last chance to retreat to Tongbai Mountain.
Luo Xiancheng could not advance or retreat at this time. Apart from sitting back and waiting for death, Luo Wenhu could not imagine any other way out for him...
Huaidong had not given Luo Xiancheng a chance before, and Wang Xiang had been urging Luo Xiancheng to surrender to Huaidong. However, Luo Xiancheng not only did not cherish the opportunity given by Huaidong to surrender, but instead defected to Yanhu with the She family at the critical moment, which led to the fall of Nanyang.
One of the main reasons why hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed; at this point, Huaidong was so powerful that it would be easy to destroy Luo Xiancheng's remaining troops at the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain. Lin Fuduan could not allow Luo Xiancheng to surrender and leave a stain on himself...
