"PS: Maybe it's because I'm a little tired from fighting all the time, so I want to speed up the progress a little bit."
The following text
That day, the fierce battle continued until dusk, but the Wei and Han armies were still unable to determine the winner, so they withdrew their troops one after another and waited until tomorrow to fight again.
After returning to Handan City, Zhao Hongrun learned that General Shao Hu was injured, so he went to visit him personally.
"The general was injured by Lian Tuo? How is the injury?"
After seeing Shao Hu, Zhao Hongrun asked nervously.
After hearing this, Shao Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly, because according to the situation at that time, he would not have been so injured. After all, Lian Pi was alone in the depths, and he neither dared to stay long nor fight with all his strength.
It can only be said that the culprit who caused Shaohu's injury was the messenger who came to report that "Yuyang Guard Qin Kai led his army to attack". It was his abrupt words that made Shaohu relax, so he was refuted by Lian.
injured.
For this matter, Shaohu couldn't blame the messenger. After all, it was the duty of the messenger to report military information. Moreover, the matter of "Qin Kaijun's attack" was urgent in itself. If Shaohu hadn't learned of the situation in time,
If we respond accordingly, Wei Wujun's casualties will be even greater.
As for Lian Pi, it would be even harder for Shao Hu to vent his anger on him. After all, if Lian Pi hadn't thought he was invincible and retreated, he, Shao Hu, might have died under Lian Pi's wolf-toothed sword.
Therefore, we can only say that Shao Hu was unlucky and various causes and coincidences led to his injury.
But having said that, injuries like fractures are commonplace for generals and are nothing. In the past, Zongwei accidentally suffered more serious injuries than this during training in the Zongfu.
The only trouble is that this is during the decisive battle between the Wei army and the Han army. If the injured Shao Hu is allowed to continue to direct the war, there may be a lot of inconvenience.
Therefore, when Zhao Hongrun proposed that his King Su's army would be the main attacker tomorrow, Shao Hu did not hesitate and nodded and said: Please let me, Wei Wu's army, raid the formation for His Highness.
After discussing who would be responsible for the main attack, Zhao Hongrun and Shao Hu began to discuss the course of today's battle.
Shaohu said solemnly: "This time the Wu'an Korean army...or the three Korean frontier armies, Taiyuan Army, Yuyang Army, and Shanggu Army, are far superior in strength to the armies of Baoyuan and Dangyinhou Han Yang. Tomorrow
Your Highness, please be careful."
Zhao Hongrun nodded.
The next day, the Wei army attacked the high wall again and fought with the Han army in Wu'an.
It has to be said that the three Korean frontier armies, Taiyuan Army, Yuyang Army, and Shanggu Army, are indeed powerful, so much so that even the soldiers and generals of King Su's Army were unable to gain an advantage in a short period of time, so that the battle was fought until the end.
At the halfway stage, it has evolved into a pure war of attrition.
However, in the end, the Wei army still had a slight upper hand and recaptured the high wall, forcing the Wu'an Han army to retreat to Tiaoling.
Through these two battles, Zhao Hongrun had clearly realized the strength of the Han army, which made him understand the truth: even if he could severely damage or even defeat the Wu'an Han army on the opposite side, his Wei army would probably suffer huge losses accordingly.
Because in just two days, the number of casualties suffered by the Wei Wu Army and Su Wang Army was as high as 10,000 people. Although the losses of the Wu An Han Army were even higher than this number, Zhao Hongrun could not accept this fact.
Just as Zhao Hongrun was thinking hard about countermeasures, he suddenly received two battle reports.
One of the battle reports was from Zhao Yuanzuo, King of the Southern Liang Dynasty. Zhao Hongrun's third uncle had conquered Huguan and headed north. After passing through the northern mountainous area of Shangdang, he approached "Taiyuan Maling".
But another story is about Jiang Bi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, who suffered a big loss at the hands of Lian Bu. In response to the strategy of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, to attack Taiyuan, he endured his injuries and worked hard to attack again.
Taiyuan, intending to attack Taiyuan County from both sides with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang.
Unfortunately, this strategy of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo and Jiang Bi was blocked by the Taiyuan defenders: in Maling, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo encountered "Yangyihou Han Xu"; while in Pingzhou and Baiyi, the general
Jiang Bi was blocked by General "Sheng Cheng" from Taiyuan County.
Zhao Hongrun was not surprised by this.
If you think about it, you will know that Taiyuan County was just attacked by Wei General Jiang Bi a while ago, but Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi still led his troops to Wu'an without any worries. In the Handan area, it seemed that he was not worried at all about Wei General Jiang Bi's departure.
And return.
This shows that Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi had already deployed his troops and horses to prevent the Wei army from taking advantage of the situation.
It seems that "Yangyi Marquis Han Xu" and "Taiyuan Army General Cheng Cheng" are the generals who stayed in Taiyuan County as the guardian of Taiyuan.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised that Jiang Bi's Northern Army stopped advancing in Taiyuan County again. After all, Jiang Bi's injury had not recovered yet, so it was strange that the Northern Army's attack on Taiyuan could still be as fierce as before.
However, one thing Jiang Bi mentioned in the battle report surprised Zhao Hongrun.
Jiang Bi said in his battle report that during his attack on Taiyuan County by the Northern Army, he encountered several groups of foreign troops one after another and had small-scale conflicts with them.
What is strange is that these foreign troops are not only not part of Taiyuan County's army, but they are also looting villages and towns in Taiyuan County and massacring local Koreans.
Seeing this, Jiang Bi sent his soldiers from the North Third Army to rescue the village, and learned from the Koreans in the village that those foreigners were "Lin Hu" from "Shang County" in the west and northwest of Taiyuan County.
Every year before and after autumn, Lin Hu would frequently harass Taiyuan County, with the main purpose of robbing Taiyuan County’s autumn harvest of grain.
It is for this reason that Jiang Bi made a suggestion in the battle report: Perhaps while Lin Hu was plundering Taiyuan, he could take the opportunity to jointly attack Taiyuan with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang.
"Lin Hu..."
Looking at this battle report, Zhao Hongrun was surprised. He suddenly discovered that he had overlooked a very important thing before.
Although he did not want his country Wei to fall into the quagmire of war and therefore hoped to end the war quickly, in fact, South Korea was more urgent than him.
Because South Korea is a country that has suffered serious foreign invasions over the years, and it is already July. In other words, in just two months, South Korea's borders will be threatened by those grassland aliens.
If South Korea still failed to resolve the stalemate between Handan and the Wei army at that time, South Korea would most likely fall into a difficult situation of being attacked from both sides.
After thinking about this matter, Zhao Hongrun hesitated: in order to win, he should choose to delay at this time, holding back the Korean army as much as possible, so that the foreigners in the north of Korea would have the opportunity to invade, thereby forcing South Korea to compromise. But the victory won in this way,
It's a bit disgraceful. In contrast, he is more inclined to defeat the Korean army in an honest way.
But the problem is that the elites of the Korean frontier army are beyond his prediction. Even if the Wei army can finally defeat the Korean army, I believe that the Wei army will suffer heavy casualties.
At least the confrontations over the past two days have been enough to prove this.
After thinking over and over again for a whole night, Zhao Hongrun finally chose to "win at a small price", gave up his original plan of confronting the Korean army head-on, and decided to postpone the war until autumn.
So from the beginning of July, for more than ten days, the Wei army stopped taking the initiative to attack, and instead was busy continuing to build defenses around the high wall, or to put it simply, building the Great Wall.
After learning about this, the Han army in Wu'an once again launched troops to attack the high wall. However, this time, because the Wei army had moved catapults, catapults and other war weapons to the Great Wall, the Han army had not yet approached the high wall. Already suffered heavy losses.
"Is Wei Gongzi Run determined to take Handan as his own?"
At the military council, Li Hou Han Wu was furious.
In fact, the battle situation in recent days is not only uncomfortable for Zhao Hongrun, but also for the Korean army. After all, the battle situation is stalemate, which is based on the premise that neither army on the two sides can do anything to the other.
What worries Li Mu, Ma She, Bao Yuan and others is that the Wei army did not just build the Great Wall along the high wall. There are even various signs that the Wei army attempted to build a fortress and granary here.
what does that mean?
This meant that the Wei army was preparing for a stalemate with the Korean army in the Handan area, which made the hearts of the Korean generals sink to the bottom.
It has to be said that it was Zhao Hongrun who did not know the situation in South Korea before.
Zhao Hongrun initially did not want Wei to fall into the quagmire of war, so he decided to have a quick battle with the Korean army, but in fact the Korean army also wanted the same.
But in the recent period, the Wei army suddenly made a change, no longer taking the initiative to attack and instead taking a defensive stance. This made Yanmen guard Li Mu vaguely aware that something was wrong.
You must know that the strength of the Wei army is not weak at all, especially the "Shangshui Army", "Yanling Army", and "Wei Wu Army". If there is a head-on confrontation, no one among the generals of the Han Army would dare to guarantee victory.
However, it is extremely abnormal for such a powerful Wei army to suddenly go on the defensive uncharacteristically.
After pondering for a moment, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, said in a solemn tone: "If Li's prediction is correct, I'm afraid the Wei army is preparing to drag this war into autumn."
After hearing this, Li Hou Han Wu didn't care at first, but when he thought about it carefully, his expression began to change.
At this time, in the tent, people like Shanggu Shou Ma She, Dangyin Hou Han Yang and others also showed shocked expressions. Even Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi was holding a wine bowl with a thoughtful look on his face.
I believe everyone in the tent at this moment knows what kind of difficult situation Korea will be in once the war between them and the Wei army drags on into autumn.
It is undeniable that although South Korea still has the "Yanmen Army", "Daijun Army", and "Beiyan Army" deployed in the northern territory, foreign tribes such as Linhu, Donghu, and Xiongnu have always been regarded as pervasive in the hearts of Koreans. It is so famous that sometimes even though there are border troops stationed on the border guarding the border, these alien bandits can still sneak through the border and burn, kill and loot on the border.
Therefore, if this war is indeed dragged into autumn by the Wei army, it will be very unfavorable for South Korea: Wei's army is the division of the Central Plains. Even if they capture a certain city, they can still take it back in the future; However, if foreign bandits take advantage of the situation and attack a certain city, then all the Koreans in that city will become slaves of the foreigners or even ghosts, and most of what will be left to Korea will be An empty and ruined city.
Thinking of this, Li Hou Han Wu urged the generals to launch a fierce attack on the Wei army in Gaoqiang and even Handan with a gloomy look, and the battle must be ended by August at the latest.
otherwise……
"Otherwise, we have no choice but to seek peace with Wei."
Looking at the generals present, Li Hou Han Wu said with an ugly expression.
