Huan Jun's human wave tactics failed to work at Xixiao Pass. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple
First of all, the terrain of Xixiao Pass is steep, located between valleys, with cliffs on both sides. When the Huan army attacked the city, they could only attack one wall and could not besieged on all sides. No matter how many troops they had, it was useless.
Not open. Secondly, the participation of the Pingyuan Army in the defense made Xixiao Pass impregnable. Equipped with the steel helmets and armor provided by Anguo, the Pingyuan Army's defense was comprehensively improved. It was engaged in offensive and defensive battles and was more difficult to be killed by the enemy. And their
Counterattack can cause maximum damage to the enemy.
The 600,000 Huan army, commanded by Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang, attacked for three days and three nights in front of Xixiao Pass, but they were still unable to break through the defenders' defense line. There were already piles of corpses outside Xixiao Pass.
, blood flowed into a river.
The siege was blocked, which was already very detrimental to the Huan army. But misfortunes never come singly. Fengguo's Baizhan Army and Directly Affiliated Army, as well as Anguo's Yan Xi's troops, suddenly appeared on Kongsang Mountain as if they fell from the sky, and with the name
With lightning speed, they recaptured the Bingfeng Pass and Zhongqu Pass that had been previously captured by the Huan Army. As a result, the Huan Army was trapped in the more than thirty miles between Zhongqu Pass and Xixiao Pass.
In the middle of the mountain road.
Huan's army's way out and retreat were blocked by Feng and An's armies, and they became a turtle in a urn. The situation took a turn for the worse, and they suddenly fell into a precarious predicament.
Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang obviously did not expect such a situation to occur. They were all panicked for a while. Only then did they realize that they had been fooled. The enemy had already calculated that they were going to attack.
Breaking through from the south road of Kongsang Mountain, we had prepared an ambush in advance, sealed the pass, and easily lost Zhongqu Pass. This was intentional by the enemy and was a plan to lure the enemy deeper. However, we were dazzled by the victory in front of us and rashly penetrated deeper.
The result is today's predicament.
It's too late for them to figure it all out now. Hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped in Kongsang Mountain. They can't advance or retreat. What's terrible is that they don't have much food and grass. What should they do?
Lu, Jin, and Jiang, who were in a state of confusion, hurriedly ordered the entire army to break out of the encirclement on two sides, continuing to attack Xixiao Pass along the way, while turning back and counterattacking Zhongqu Pass and Shengtang.
When Huan's army penetrated deep, Zhongqu Pass was easy to fight, and it only took three hours to capture Zhongqu Pass. Now they wanted to counterattack, but they were hit head-on by the defenders.
The passes in Kongsang Mountain are originally strong in the west and weak in the east. It is extremely difficult to fight from west to east. Moreover, the main forces stationed at Zhongqu Pass at this time are the Baizhan Army, the Directly Affiliated Army and the Yan Xi Division. They do not have any large weapons to assist them.
If Huan Jun wanted to conquer Zhongqu Pass, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
The Huan army's offensive started early in the morning and continued until dusk. The soldiers did not even touch the edge of the city.
After a hard day's fighting, the entire army was exhausted. Just when Huan's army was about to retreat for rest, the defenders in the city suddenly came out to fight back. The general at the head was Guan Yuan Rang, known as the most powerful general in the Feng Kingdom and the God of War.
The counterattack by the commander-in-chief Guan Yuanrang was so fierce that it was even far superior to the Huan army's attack on the city. How could the already exhausted Huan army be able to withstand it? They were severely defeated by the Feng army who rushed out, leaving many dead and injured.
countless.
Guan Yuanrang did not pursue him again and again. After Huan's army was defeated and fled far away, he withdrew his troops and retreated to Zhongqu Pass.
The defeat at Quguan in the attack made Huan Jun understand that it was no longer possible to break out from the rear, and the only way out was Xixiao Pass.
The desperate Huan army launched an even more frenzied attack on Xixiao Pass. The entire army divided into several waves with legions as units and attacked the city day and night.
However, the number of defenders in Xixiao Pass was also large. In addition to the 100,000 Pingyuan Army, there were also more than 100,000 An Army. With sufficient preparations before the battle, it was not very difficult to resist the Huan Army's offensive.
This tough battle between the two sides lasted for more than a month. ("")
During this period, it was hard to count how many times the Huan Army launched fierce attacks on Xixiao Pass, but after a month, the critical moment of Xixiao Pass was still hung with the national flag of Anguo, and the Huan Army still could not cross the Leichi even half a step.
In this month of fighting, the Huan army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 100,000 soldiers killed just outside Xixiao Pass.
Looking around, the pile of corpses outside the city wall is more than two feet high. If the Huan army outside the city rushes to the corpse, it will only be one foot away from the top of the city. As long as someone is standing against the wall, another person will step on his shoulder.
You can climb directly to the top of the city.
However, by now, Huan's army has run out of ammunition and food. Not to mention that the food and grass have been eaten up, even the war horses in the army, and even the weeds and tree bark between Zhongqu Pass and Xixiao Pass have been eaten away.
, Next, Huan Jun had no choice but to eat people if he wanted to fill his stomach.
At this point in the battle, Huan's army lost all fighting spirit, and all the soldiers were starving. What was terrible was that various diseases began to spread again, and the few remaining fighting soldiers fell ill in large numbers and were unable to fight again.
Under this situation, the Huan army had no choice but to surrender, but the Feng and An armies had no intention of accepting the surrender.
The Feng army was unwilling to accept surrendered troops. This was a long-standing tradition, and Nie Ze also repeatedly said that if he wanted to defeat Huan Guo quickly, he had to give Huan Guo a painful blow. The pain would be unforgettable and future battles would be easier to fight.
.
It would be even simpler if the An army refused to accept the surrender. The Huan army had been fighting in the north and south of An for so long, and the losses caused to An were immeasurable. One can imagine the hatred of the An people towards the Huan army, and now they have a sure chance of victory.
, where is the army willing to surrender to Huan?
Feng Jun and An Jun wanted to go together, but neither of them refused to surrender. Even if Huan's soldiers came to surrender with white flags, they were shot dead mercilessly by arrows fired at the top of the city by the soldiers of the two armies.
The 600,000-strong Huan army was trapped in Kongsang Mountain for a total of two months. In the end, the Huan army, commanded by three major military princes, was completely annihilated in Kongsang Mountain.
Even Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang were not spared.
This battle was the heaviest loss for Huan State since the outbreak of the Five Kingdoms War. At this point, all four of Huan State's military princes were killed, and Huan State's main central army was completely lost. In this battle alone, Huan State's vitality was seriously damaged.
, Huan Jun basically withdrew from the battlefield of this Five Kingdoms War.
The Battle of Kongsang Mountain had a huge impact. It not only weakened the Sichuan-Huan Alliance's military strength to the greatest extent, but also allowed Anguo, whose situation was also not optimistic, to see the dawn of victory. The battle situation in the south of Anguo also changed accordingly. It was originally chased by the Sichuan army and beaten.
The An army could turn around from time to time and take the initiative to launch offensives against the Sichuan army. This would have been unimaginable before.
When the battle report of the battle at Kongsang Mountain reached Tang Yin, it was at a time when the Fengyu coalition led by him had just captured Daxing, the capital of the Huan Kingdom.
Tang Yin was overjoyed when he saw this battle report written by Xiao Muqing himself, and praised him several times on the spot. With this battle won, Huan's power was in name only, and there was no need to worry about it in the future.
In this battle, Nie Ze undoubtedly played a vital role. It was because of his foresight that he accurately calculated the movements of Huan's army and laid out the dragnet in advance, which led to this decisive victory.
Tang Yin rewarded Nie Ze heavily during his return, and ordered Xiao Muqing to command the Pingyuan Army, the Directly Affiliated Army, and the Baizhan Army from Kongsang Mountain, marching towards the territory of the Huan Kingdom to assist his side in pursuing Li Xin and the Huan Kingdom court who had fled to Lutai.
.
Now, Tang Yin has defeated Huandu Daxing, but it is almost an empty city. Everything that can be taken away has been taken away by Li Xin. Even the people in the city have fled, and the remaining
Not many, if the capital city is large, it is empty, like a ghost town. After capturing the capital of a country, not only did not gold, silver and jewelry be captured, but even armaments and supplies were not obtained. Of course, Tang Yin was not satisfied with such results.
On the second day after Fengyu's coalition forces captured Daxing, Hidden Arrow returned with two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Tang Yin was surprised when he heard the news, so he sent Cheng Jin to him and asked him where he got so much money. Cheng Jin's """ revealed that there was a Yuexiu Villa near Daxing, and Huan Guoyi lived in it.
He was a well-known rich man with a huge fortune and abundant assets. These two hundred thousand taels of silver were exactly what Yuexiu Villa provided to Feng Jun. To put it bluntly, he spent money to buy peace and prevent Feng Jun from harassing Yuexiu Villa.
After hearing this, Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh. What kind of rich man was he? He made two hundred thousand taels of silver in one move. He was really rich! Tang Yin just smiled at this and didn't take it too seriously.
On this day, after Tang Yin had lunch with Yin Rou and Lingshuang, he was bored in the palace, so he changed into casual clothes and quietly left the palace with only three and four people and wandered around Daxing City.
Since the Fengyu Allied Forces occupied Daxing, military discipline has been strict. They have neither slaughtered the city nor looted everywhere. Many people of the Huan Kingdom who originally fled the capital have returned to the city. Among them, the largest number of returnees are traders, hundreds of thousands of them.
The Fengyu Allied Forces moved into the capital, and they wanted to eat, drink, and buy things. How could merchants miss such a huge business opportunity? At this time, the streets and alleys in the city had begun to gain popularity, which was very different from when the Fengyu Allied Forces first entered the city.
Tang Yin and Asan and Asi looked east and west, and found it very interesting. Knowing that Yin Rou and Lingshuang both liked to eat snacks, Tang Yin even bought some snacks such as dried fruits and candied fruits from the vendors on the roadside.
.
The palace is located in the North City. You can't walk far until you reach the North City Gate. Seeing that there is nothing to visit here, Tang Yin and Asan and Asi were about to turn around and walk back. At this time, a group of jade soldiers with disheveled appearance ran in from outside the North City.
military.
These jade soldiers all had crooked helmets, and many of them had faces with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces. They supported each other and walked towards the city, cursing and swearing.
Seeing this, Tang Yin secretly frowned, wondering in his heart, well, by whom did Yu Jun get beaten up like this?
He was about to ask, but the jade army guarding the city gate rushed over first. They all asked with wide eyes, surprised and curious: "What's going on? Who beat the brothers?"
