"It actually took two days." Xiao Shilian looked at his generals and was obviously not very happy, "Are you all doing this?!"
After breaking the city, the army encountered strong resistance from Hou Mo Chen Ying outside the government office. It took three hours to rush in. Hou Mo Chen Ying, as the chief officer of Nanyang, committed suicide by facing the northwest direction of Chang'an, and then declared Nanyang.
It fell completely into the hands of the big man.
At this time, the place where Xiao Shilian stepped was the place where Hou Mo and Chen Ying committed suicide. The body was dragged away, and there was still some blood on the ground.
Lu Guangda and others also lowered their heads and did not think they played well.
The whole army had the momentum to attack Guanzhong, but in the end it took two days to defeat Nanyang. The defenders in Nanyang City did not exceed 10,000 people, and the number of young and capable soldiers was only four to five thousand.
The Han army that could attack was not only more than ten times larger than these people, but also had a large number of siege equipment. It was surrounded on all sides and took advantage of the right time, place and people. It was really embarrassing to end up like this.
You must know that when Li Xingchen went to the south of the Yangtze River, except for a few cities such as Jiangling that persisted longer due to various reasons, almost all other places were defeated in one battle. Now that the spearhead has turned to the north, we cannot let go.
Jiner. As a result, the Battle of Nanyang dragged on. How should Xiao Shilian explain to Li Xingchen?
Especially the last small government office, it took a full three hours and even cost twice as many casualties, which is unprecedented. Even so, not a single person alive was captured by the officials in Nanyang City. It was not a battle.
To die is to commit suicide with Hou Mo and Chen Ying. This is definitely not a good start for the big man. It means that if you continue to go north from here, you may encounter more tenacious resistance.
So this also casts a shadow in everyone's heart.
Xiao Shilian looked around and said coldly: "The Zhou people are obviously different from any of our previous opponents, especially now that we are going to attack Guanzhong, which is the foundation of the Zhou people, they will definitely be completely different from before.
A different attitude, so this means that we have to face more ferocious opponents and must be prepared."
"No!" the generals responded in unison.
Xiao Shilian then stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "Nanyang is what we must win, and the real target we want to attack this time is Wuguan!"
After spending these two days in Nanyang, it is estimated that the news should have been sent to Guanzhong. Even if Yang Jian no longer has a firm foothold, he must dispatch troops as soon as possible, otherwise Tongguan and Wuguan may be in danger. In this situation,
, there are only a handful of people who can be trusted by Yang Jian to lead the army, but Wei Xiaokuan of the older generation, Gao, He Ruobi and others of the younger generation. Especially to deal with Wei Chijiong, only veteran generals like Wei Xiaokuan should be qualified.
, so Xiao Shilian’s opponent should still be very clear.
"Gao, He Ruobi" Xiao Shilian muttered these names, and then looked at Chun Yucen, Huang Wan and others around him. This should be the first time that young generals from the north and the south gathered and faced off on such a large scale.
I wonder if I will meet the biggest enemy in my life?
"The general ordered the army to rest for a day and deploy to the northwest in the formation to attack Nanyang, preparing to attack Wuguan!" Xiao Shilian ordered loudly.
No matter who the other party is, just come over and he will follow suit!
Inclined valley.
The surging crowd rushed forward along the valley, and dense arrows shot over the crowd into the camp in front. Xiegou is the most important road connecting Bashu and Guanzhong, so Yang Jian did not dare to go too far, just in Xiegu
Two camps were set up on the outside, one on the left and one on the right. These two camps formed an angle with each other and echoed each other with Qizhou in the rear. In fact, their defensive effect was no better than that of a lonely camp in the valley.
good.
With more opportunities to fight Li Xinchen, Yang Jian also began to realize some of Li Xinchen's characteristics. Li Xinchen's troops relied on advanced equipment and were good at outflanking and violently advancing quickly. The two cooperated with each other, and they were naturally able to achieve rapid penetration, and eventually continued
The ground dug through the enemy's defense line, causing the enemy's entire line to collapse.
Therefore, if Yang Jian simply adopts such a defensive posture, he will naturally be able to block Li Xingchen's use of outflanking and quick breakthrough tactics.
As you become stronger, your enemies will naturally grow. This is inevitable.
Han Qinhu stood on the chariot with his sword in hand, looking at the attack ahead.
In fact, their task is not complicated. They are to capture these two camps, open up the Xiegu Road, and then turn to Qizhou to cooperate with another army from Tianshui southward to gain a foothold in Qizhou. After taking Qizhou, they will
This means that the Han has a foothold to go directly from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. It also means that the retreat of Xiaoguan is under the front of the Han. Whether he should continue to hold on to Xiaoguan should be a question for Yang Jian.
This is an issue that needs to be considered as soon as possible.
"This is already the sixth time." Niu Hong frowned and said, not without worry.
"After all, it's the defensive formation established by Li Yan. There are some ways." Han Qinhu was not so panicked. This was the first battle he presided over as a Han general after being captured.
At the same time, Han Qinhu and Niu Hong were both surrendered generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, this battle can also be said to be the first battle against the north that was completely presided over by a surrendered general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Before this, Li Xun and others did not have this opportunity.
Although Li Xingchen transferred Lu Guangda to Hanzhong, when making the final strategic deployment, he still considered that Lu Guangda had just arrived and his understanding of Hanzhong should not be as good as Han Qinhu and others, so he simply asked Lu Guangda to go south as Xiao Shilian's
The left wing cooperated with the attack on Wuguan, leaving the Xiegu side completely to Han Qinhu.
It is precisely because of Li Xingchen's trust here that Niu Hong, who is also leading an army for the first time, is extremely nervous. Although now they have good generals like Li Xun and Luo Yi among the surrendered generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
However, Li Xun is twice as old as him, and among the younger generation, only Han Qinhu and Niu Hong can act alone, so this is definitely a test for them.
Niu Hong was afraid that something would go wrong, and Li Xingchen would probably not give them this chance in the future, either because he was unwilling or because of pressure from the court.
"We have been here for two days." Niu Hong felt helpless.
In fact, Han Qinhu spent the past two days mainly on demolition work with trebuchets and bed crossbows as forwards. The real large-scale attack only started today. He first used trebuchets to blast for more than half a day, and then used the army to
After launching six attacks in succession, Niu Hong asked himself that he would probably have to mess up his position in this place.
It's really frustrating that the enemy can hold on.
"Kill!" The sound of killing from the front was loud, and the battle had entered a fever pitch.
