This is no wonder Yuchi Jiong. As long as the Han army breaks through this new Hangu Pass with almost no depth and high walls, the next battlefield will be Beimang Mountain.
What does it mean that the war has progressed to Beimang? It means that the entire Luoyang has lost its role as a center. The so-called center naturally means that the food, equipment, and soldiers and horses traveling from the north to the south in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were transported to different areas through Luoyang.
.
Once the Han army reaches Luoyang City, food, equipment, etc. will naturally no longer be transported out. This may even lead to the collapse of the battle situation along the south side of Luoyang all the way to Xuchang and then to Qingzhou, Shandong. After all, it even includes part of the money and food in Huaibei.
The equipment is all transported through Luoyang.
As a veteran who had participated in the battle for Luoyang between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yuchi Jiong was certainly very aware of the importance of Luoyang. At the beginning, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had been pushing the front to the foot of Mang Mountain, oppressing the city of Luoyang. Although in this process, the Northern Zhou Dynasty rarely directly
There is an opportunity to attack Luoyang, but Luoyang has lost its administrative role as a city because it has been under the enemy's attack for a long time, and there is no way to serve as a transit center for all material dispatch during wartime.
In order to cope with the attack of the Northern Zhou army, the Northern Qi army could only continue to gather from the rear areas such as Yecheng and Qingzhou, and then go to Luoyang. Naturally, the same was true for money, food and equipment. In other words, attacking Beimang meant that the city of Luoyang
It's useless.
Therefore, although Yuchijiong knew that the war situation in the Xuchang area in the south was tense and that there was a possibility of collapse at any time, he could only pull the army out of Luoyang and Hangu Pass and try his best to stop the Han army.
At this time, Xiao Shilian was a little nervous, because this was the first time he really faced Yuchi Jiong face to face. The last time the big man was able to defeat Yuchi Jiong, it was because Li Xinchen was behind him, but this time, Xiao Shilian needed to do it himself.
The generals have all turned their attention to Xiao Shilian, waiting for the final order.
"The artillery continues to advance ten feet, and the cavalry is ready to attack!" Xiao Shilian gave the order after considering it.
The generals who had been waiting eagerly were suddenly discouraged.
It is obvious that the general is also testing and does not dare to directly attack in an all-out manner. However, from another perspective, it is better to be careful with Captain Chi Jiong. There are also experienced generals present, such as Lu Guangda, but if
Changing places and putting themselves in the position of Xiao Shilian, the commander-in-chief of the army at this time, they did not dare to advance rashly.
This is not because everyone is afraid of Yuchi Jiong's fame, but because they are worried about Yuchi Jiong's experience. Looking at Yuchi Jiong's military career, he basically fought in Luoyang and Bashu, where he became famous in one battle. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent Yuchi
When Jiong entered Bashu, he also considered relying on his experience. Most of the time, Yuchi Jiong fought near Luoyang, whether he was attacking the Northern Qi Dynasty as a general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty or later resisting Yang Jian's attack as a subordinate of Yu Wenxian.
Or maybe he later confronted the Han in Tongguan.
It can be said that Yuchi Jiong has walked through the mountains and rivers from Tongguan to Mangshan countless times. It is no problem to say that he knows it like the back of his hand. Not to mention anything else, just the battles inside and outside the Taolin Fortress, Yuchi
Jiong almost never missed a game.
In contrast, even if Baipao collected a lot of information in advance, it was still the first time for the Han army to come here. They had only seen the terrain on the sand table, so they were unsure.
Who knows if Yuchijiong knew where to outflank the Han army's retreat, and then gave the Han army a big surprise.
Even Xiao Shilian, who is not afraid of anything, still has to weigh it in his heart.
It is obviously the safest way to use the artillery forward to test whether the enemy has enough courage or choose to retreat, and then use the cavalry to prepare for harassing attacks at any time.
As a result, only Hou Mi, who was in charge of the cavalry, had the task. He solemnly handed over his hand and left in a majestic and high-spirited manner. In the previous battle of Tongguan, the cavalry could only sit back and watch, and even ran to Pu
Blocking the enemy's reinforcements at Ban was a completely on-the-edge task, which naturally made the cavalry very frustrated, so Xiao Shilian did not forget to give them a chance.
"The remaining generals, return to their headquarters and wait for orders." Xiao Shilian said immediately.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. He couldn't let these generals stay in the center of the army for a long time. He had to be prepared for a full-line attack at any time.
When everyone accepted the promise and left, Xiao Shilian cast his gaze into the distance.
Knowing yourself and the enemy means you can win a hundred battles. He now knows the Zhou people's arrangements, but he doesn't know what the other side's commander is thinking. Is he happy, nervous or worried?
Yuchi Jiong, what are you thinking about after fighting all your life?
Xiao Shilian could even feel that Yuchi Jiong was also looking at him at this time.
Indeed, Xiao Shilian's guess is not wrong.
At this time, Yuchi Jiong, who was standing on the chariot, was overlooking the entire battlefield. Of course, he was also sizing up the position of the Han army's central army. This time, his opponent was still very young. Over the years, Yuchi Jiong found that his opponents were much better than before.
A young man, from Li Xingchen to Xiao Shilian, these young people ended the troubled times that lasted for three hundred years and really established a huge dynasty from the northwest to the southeast. But at this time, he was standing in this place, but he was standing in this rolling new world.
In front of the trend, he became an obstacle.
This made Yu Chijiong very uncomfortable.
The older people live, the more they hate death, perhaps because they are getting closer and closer to death. The more they hate death, the more people feel that peace is so hard-won. Now this war
, what is the chance of victory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuchi Jiong knew very well, there is still 20 to 30%, any more would be impossible. After all, not everyone has God's blessing, and they cannot expect the Battle of Kunyang and the Battle of Feishui.
Miracles can happen again and again in history.
In this case, if you want more people to live, it is best to just put down your weapons and everything will be fine. If you still want to continue fighting and fulfill your loyalty, it means that more people will
He died because of his own actions.
Whether to comply with God's will or morality, this is really a troublesome question.
After learning that Huaibei was also in urgent need these days, Yuchi Jiong fell into such a contradiction. However, as a veteran who had high hopes from Yu Wenxian, he would still perform his duties before thinking about these issues clearly, so Yuchi
Appeared here.
Looking at Taolinsai and Xiaoshan, Yuchijiong felt extremely complicated.
The last time I stood here to command a battle was the decisive battle with Yang Jian. Both sides suffered losses in that battle, but Yang Jian finally gained the upper hand and once forced Yu Wenxian and Yu Chi Jiong to retreat to Luoyang, but in the end, Yu Chi Jiong fought back to Tongguan.
