Faced with the predicament at hand, Wu Han thought about it repeatedly and analyzed it carefully, and finally decided to use Qin Feng as his breakthrough point.
Qin Feng's army is currently stationed in Huangyouju on the bank of Huangyou River, a small town with a small population. Huangyouju does not have a city defense, but there is a circle of earthen walls around the town. For the army, this circle of earthen walls has a
Not nearly.
At present, Deng Fengjun is stationed in Xinye, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Most of them are veterans of Nanyang and are brave in combat. Yancen's army is stationed in Chaoyang. Chaoyang City is also easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, most of Yancen's troops are veterans of Hanzhong and are equally brave and good in battle.
.
Relatively speaking, Qin Fengjun stationed in Huangyouju is relatively easy to fight. As the saying goes, you have to pick a soft persimmon. In Wu Han's eyes, Qin Fengjun was the soft persimmon.
With the goal of fighting, Wu Han led his army to attack Huang Youju. Qin Feng learned that the Han army was mainly attacking his own side, and immediately sent people to send letters to Deng Feng and Yancen, asking them to lead their troops to help as soon as possible.
At the same time, Qin Feng personally commanded the elite army under his command, and formed a battle array outside the Huangyou gathering, as if he was going to fight the Han army to the death.
In Qin Feng's view, the men he led were all elite men. Even if they were not opponents of the Han army, they could at least withstand the Han army for two or three days.
Two or three days later, Deng Feng's reinforcements and Yancen's reinforcements will surely arrive at Huangyouju. By then, our three armies will besiege the Han army. How can we be invincible?
But he underestimated Wu Han too much, and also underestimated the combat power of the Han army.
Although the current situation of the Han army is very critical, it is forced to run around in Nanyang, but the main force is still there, and its combat strength has not been reduced. Now the Han army has been forced to a dead end. A battle with Qin Feng will be the Han army in Nanyang.
The final battle.
If you win, the entire army will be able to break out of Nanyang. If you lose, the entire army will be annihilated in Nanyang.
Therefore, in this battle, both Wu Han and the soldiers below showed their fighting spirit and determination to launch a fierce attack on Qin Feng's army.
As the saying goes, people will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods. Qin Feng thought that his elite troops could temporarily withstand the Han army's attack, but in the actual battle, this was not the case at all.
The more than 80,000 Han troops, like more than 80,000 bloodthirsty beasts, launched a fierce offensive against Qin Feng's army on the battlefield.
Qin Feng's elite army only lasted for an hour in front of the wolf-like and tiger-like Han army.
An hour later, the situation on the battlefield almost became one-sided. The Han army's formation kept pushing forward, crushing the cavalry and horse teams, or circling to the side, behind, or interspersed. The coordination between horse and foot had reached the level of perfection.
Facing the Han army's offensive, which was like a stormy sea, Qin Feng's army couldn't think about the front or the rear, nor the left or the right. The soldiers retreated in groups.
Some of the soldiers remained on the battlefield, desperately resisting the Han army, while some of the soldiers had no intention of fighting and retreated one after another. As a result, Qin Feng's army had no formation at all and was like a piece of loose sand.
When Qin Feng's army was in chaos, the fighting spirit of the Han army became even higher, and the offensive became faster and more fierce. Qin Feng, who was commanding the battle from the rear, did not want to prevent the defeat of his own soldiers, but he really could not stop it.
Seeing his front army defeated, the middle army in chaos, and the rear army retreating continuously, Qin Feng realized that he could no longer fight this battle, so he ordered the entire army to retreat to Huangyouju.
But if the two armies are entangled, how can it be so easy to retreat?
Qin Feng's army was chased by the Han army all the way and fled in panic into Huangyouju. It was undoubtedly a joke for Qinfeng's army to rely on Huangyouju's earthen wall as high as a person to stop the Han army's attack.
The soldiers of the Han army rushed to the bottom of the earth wall. The first batch of soldiers leaned against the earth wall to form a human wall. The soldiers behind stepped on the human wall and climbed directly to the top of the earth wall.
As the Han army invaded Huangyouju in one go, Qin Feng's army no longer retreated in an organized manner, but scattered in all directions.
Qin Feng and some of his confidants escaped from the yellow mail gathering like a bereaved dog and fled towards Nanjun.
In this single battle, the Han army led by Wu Han defeated Qin Feng's army, which not only greatly improved the morale of our own soldiers, but also resolved the danger of being trapped in Nanyang.
After that, Wu Han did not pursue Qin Feng and led the Han army to retreat eastward to Fuyang, pass through Fuyang, and then go eastward to enter Runan County in Yuzhou. Once in Runan, they were out of danger.
Already.
Neither Deng Feng nor Yancen expected that Qin Feng's army would be so vulnerable and defeated so quickly. They couldn't even hold on for a day before they were killed by the Han army and collapsed thousands of miles away. Deng Feng and Yancen refused to let go.
The Han army fled Nanyang, led their respective armies, and then pursued the Han army.
Their combined armies numbered more than 100,000 men, and most of them were veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their combat power was no weaker than that of the Han army.
If it were a head-on confrontation, the Han army led by Wu Han might not be able to defeat the coalition forces of Deng Feng and Yancen.
Wu Han led his army eastward and finally entered Runan. However, Deng Feng and Yancen also led their troops to pursue them and entered Runan. Wu Han had no choice but to lead his army north to Yingchuan, north of Runan.
Now, both the Han army running in front and the Deng Feng and Yancen coalition forces chasing behind are suffering unspeakably.
Previously, the Wu Han army's logistics supplies were raided by Deng Feng's army and looted. There was not much food left in the army. It was considered good for the soldiers to have two meals a day.
The coalition forces of Deng Feng and Yancen also lacked military rations.
Deng Feng's food reserves were not large, but he had a lot of troops, and his daily consumption was astronomical. Yancen was even poorer. He had lost his territory. He and tens of thousands of his subordinates were, to put it bluntly, just a gang.
People's Army.
It can be said that whether they are running in front or chasing behind, the soldiers on both sides are hungry. For Wu Hanjun, they have an innate advantage, which is to run in front.
Wherever Wu Han's army passed, it was like a plague of locusts passing through. Everything that could be eaten was robbed. Even the bark of the trees was eager to be stripped off and taken away. They did not even give a grain of food to the pursuers behind them.
remain.
After Wu Han led the Han army into Yingchuan, the coalition forces of Deng Feng and Yancen did not dare to pursue it anymore. First, the soldiers under his command really could not hold on. Second, the Han army found a support in Yingchuan. Wang Chang
.
Wang Chang was born in the Green Forest Army, and was also the commander-in-chief of the Xiajiang Army, one of the three giants of the Green Forest Army. He was considered one of the core leaders of the Green Forest Army. But he was different from other leaders of the Green Forest Army. Wang Chang had a special relationship with Liu and Liu Xiu.
good.
After Liu Xuan established his capital in Chang'an, he was very kind to Wang Chang. He was given the surname Liu, canonized as King Deng, and granted him eight counties. He was also allowed to take charge of life and death in his own territory. yyls
Such a reward is equivalent to making Wang Chang a local emperor.
Wu Han led his army into Yingchuan and happened to meet Wang Chang who was in Yingchuan. Wang Chang not only provided the most scarce food and grass to the Han army, but was also willing to stand on the same front with the Han army to fight against Deng Feng and Yancen.
coalition forces.
With the help of Wang Chang, the Han army finally calmed down. However, Deng Feng and Yancen did not dare to pursue Yingchuan and retreated westward back to Nanyang.
At this point, the Han army's battle in Nanyang came to an end for the time being. As the main force of the Han army headed by Wu Han withdrew from Nanyang, the Han army was left with only an isolated city in Nanyang, Wancheng.
Wancheng.
After Wan Bing died, a few days later, news came from the south that the Wu Han army defeated Qin Feng's army and began to retreat towards Runan.
Liu Xiu realized that Wancheng was about to become an isolated city. He summoned the generals of Jiandan and said: "Sir, Da Sima has led the main force of our army and is preparing to evacuate Nanyang. Once Da Sima's troops withdraw, Wancheng will completely become an isolated city.
I am in Wancheng and cannot stand alone, so come with me and retreat to Luoyang!"
Jian Dan bowed his hands to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders!"
"Ah?" As soon as he said this, not only Liu Xiu was stunned, but also the other generals present. Liu Xiu asked in surprise: "You still want to stay in Wancheng?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I want to stay in Wancheng!" Seeing Liu Xiu frowning, Jian Dan took a deep breath, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Wancheng is where General Wan fought to protect him, and now General Wan is buried.
Here, as long as Wei Chen still has three inches of energy, and as long as the Nanyang bandits have not been defeated, Wei Chen will defend Wancheng to the death and never take a step back!"
Liu Xiu's nose felt sore and his eye circles were red. He stood up, walked to Jian Tan, patted the armor on his body, and said: "Jun You, a temporary retreat is not a permanent abandonment. I can guarantee that sooner or later we will
One day, we will fight back to Nanyang. At that time, we will definitely defeat Deng Feng, Yancen and other thieves, and recapture Wancheng!"
Jiantan lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Xiu patted his arm again and said: "Okay, given the current situation, it is imperative to abandon Wancheng. Jun You will just act according to the order."
After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and walk back to his seat. Jiantan, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me... I will be outside, and I will not accept your orders!"
"
Jiantan's words shocked the bodies of everyone present. There is indeed such an unwritten rule in the army that you will not accept your orders when you are outside.
But the problem is, in this situation, the emperor is usually not present, and the decree transmitted does not conform to the actual situation. The commander-in-chief of the army can adapt to the situation and do not act in accordance with the emperor's decree. But now the emperor is here, right in front of Jian Dan
When he was asked to evacuate Wancheng, he actually came up with the phrase "I will not accept your life as a foreigner", which made people feel dumbfounded and couldn't help but sweat for him.
Liu Xiu's face darkened, and he frowned and said, "I am ordering you now to lead your army to evacuate Wancheng!"
Jian Dan knelt on the ground, kowtowing forward, and said: "Wei Chen is under the orders of Da Sima to guard Wancheng. As long as Da Sima does not send an order to withdraw, Wei Chen cannot withdraw!"
"You..." Liu Xiu pointed to Jian Tan who was kneeling in front of him. You are so brave, you dare to bring out a big Sima to suppress me! These words came to Liu Xiu's lips, but he swallowed them back.
He understood that the purpose of Jiantan moving out of Wuhan was not to leave. He was the emperor, and his words were the imperial edict. Even Wu Han had to obey the imperial edict, let alone Jiantan?
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "Master, Jun You died of illness, and our Han Dynasty has lost one general. Do you want me to lose another general in the Han Dynasty?"
Jiantan said: "General Wan once said that as a general, it would be a blessing if he died in front of the two armies!"
Liu Xiu stared at Jian Tan for a while and said firmly: "I don't want to hear this. I am ordering you now. You must follow me back to Luoyang!"
Jian Dan's tone was equally firm and he said: "Wei Chen would rather die than withdraw from Wancheng. If Your Majesty wants to kill Wei Chen because he resists and disobeys the decree, Wei Chen will also complain. I only ask that Your Majesty can bury Wei Chen."
Beside the tomb of General Wan!"
"..." Seeing Jiantan who was willing to die to show his determination, Liu Xiu was at a loss. He murmured: "Zi is guarding Wancheng alone. What if the bandit army attacks in large numbers?"
Jiantan kowtowed forward again. What's the explanation? He didn't know what the explanation was. He only knew that as long as he was alive, he would inherit Wan's legacy, stay in Wancheng, and fight to the death with the thieves.
He didn't say anything, just watched the parade, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xiu, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to stay in Wancheng to fight against the bandit army with General Jian. Please give me your permission!"
All the generals present came out one after another, knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "I would like to stay in Wancheng to fight against the bandit army with General Jian. Please give me your permission!"
