The Northern Zhou general had to admit that he and the opponent's commander were not at the same level at all, and the soldiers under his command had no ability to match those enemies. When the opponent broke into the formation, they could almost use "Ruru"
"no man's land" to describe it.
If it weren't for the fact that the mountain road was really narrow, and that this army arrived not too early, so the preparations were not sufficient, I'm afraid these two thousand people would really have to leave here. But even so, the general looked around.
, I am afraid that there are only about a thousand people left around at this time. The remaining thousand people were basically accounted for in this short half hour. Some died from rocks, some died from panic and mistakes, and even
Some simply died in the hands of their own people.
In comparison, there were really very few corpses left by the enemy on the mountain road, and most of them died from arrows. This forced the general who had followed Yu Yi for most of his life to admit that he was
A complete loser. But at this time, the general had to wonder who the enemy standing opposite him was. The opponent did not show his general flag, could it be Li Xingchen who did not want to reveal his identity?
If it is really Li Xingchen here, then the general does not feel that he has lost unjustly, and must inform the general of this shocking news as soon as possible. If Li Xingchen is not in An'an, those local aristocratic families are no match for the general!
"Shrink the defense line and set up defenses along the mountain behind." The general said in a deep voice, "As long as we hold this mountain, we can still cut off their road to An'ing. At the same time, send someone to tell the general about the war here and ask him to
Decide!"
"No!" Several messengers responded at the same time. In order to ensure that they would not be intercepted on the road, the more people who came to report the message, the better.
Pian Jiang subconsciously looked back at the mountain behind him which was not very high, but could still be considered as cutting off the road: "What kind of mountain is this?"
"Back to General, this place is called Nanshan locally."
"The mountain is in the north of the river valley, why is it the south mountain?" The general was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, on the other side of the mountain road three to four hundred feet away from them, Hou Mi stood on a big rock, looking at the Northern Zhou army that began to shrink its defenses, and sighed secretly in his heart. After all, the opponent's number was much greater than his own, so this
Once you fail to succeed the first time, it may not be so easy to defeat your opponent later.
With so many people, Yu Yi would definitely not let an unknown person come to take charge. From the opponent's quick reaction of retreating to the hillside and gathering troops, it can be seen that this is already a veteran who has experienced many battles.
"This mountain to the north is Nanshan?" Hou Mi looked at the mark on the map, moved his hand northward along Nanshan, and his pupils shrank slightly.
The local aristocratic guide who led the way immediately nodded and said, "Yes, this mountain is in the north of the river valley, but the land belongs to Jieting. It is the mountain south of Jieting City, so it is named Nanshan."
Hou Mi couldn't help but laugh: "God is really helping me!"
The street pavilion is located in the north of Tianshui, guarding the road for the Yongzhou and Liangzhou soldiers and horses to go south and the Guanzhong soldiers and horses to come west. The danger of the street pavilion lies in Nanshan in the south of the city. The reason why the street pavilion is famous is probably because it was lost in the battle of Ma Su.
After entering the street pavilion, the flanks of Zhuge Liang's army were completely exposed to the Wei cavalry, forcing Zhuge Liang to give up the large area of Longyou land he had acquired and retreat to Hanzhong. This also resulted in the army that was closest to Zhuge Liang's strategic vision and achieved the most gains.
The first Northern Expedition failed, and the subsequent expeditions to Qishan and later Jiang Wei's Nine Expeditions to the Central Plains were just replicas of the first Northern Expedition, and the results were not even as good as the first one, and ultimately achieved Sima Yi's status.
It can be said that the Battle of Jieting is closely related to the changes in the entire Later Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties. If Ma Di had defeated the attacking Wei army, perhaps the entire history of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties would have been rewritten accordingly. Of course, these are all assumptions.
After all, the heaviness of the wheel of history is obvious to all. How easy is it to change the trajectory of everything?
The road of history is like a group of people going from one starting point to another ending along different roads. Often the starting point is the same, but after walking a long, long road without any intertwining, people take different roads.
You may be surprised to find that you have reached the same end point. Maybe the people who performed this period of history are different, but the fate of these people is the same.
Having said that, maybe Ma Di took a fancy to the fact that Nanshan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he did not defend the city on the plain, but defended Nanshan.
It's just that when Ma Di was just starting out and leading an army for the first time, he ignored a crucial issue, that is, Nanshan is a barren mountain and a rocky mountain. There is no water at all on the mountain. Whether he goes north to get water from the street pavilion or goes south to the valley
There are constant distances to get water, and these roads are not easy to walk. In the end, the Wei army easily cut off the road, and Ma Su was defeated without a fight.
It can even be said that Ma Di is a repeat of Zhao Kuo. Young and frivolous people are always easily defeated by experience and meticulousness, and the latter two are often the easiest for those who have been on the battlefield. Once they are aware of the other party
If they lack experience and meticulousness, they will seize the opportunity to kill each other.
Young people are often scary, because they have the youth and vitality that veterans may be hard to find; but correspondingly, young people are also easy to deal with, because they lack some even basic experience and lessons, and are unwilling to listen.
The earnest teachings of the old guys around me. Therefore, in the duel between young people and old people, it is often the young people who suffer. After all, when armies are marching and fighting, what is competing is not the bravery and courage of one person.
It is obvious that Li Xingchen is an anomaly among young people. He has bravery and more than 1,500 years of experience in this era. At least in this era, there is no experienced veteran who can match the experience in his chest and abdomen.
Go to Li Xingchen. Therefore, Li Xingchen has an absolute advantage in every aspect, and therefore, he seems so powerful and invincible. But in fact, it is just because Li Xingchen knows the opponent's weaknesses better.
Once the general starts to retreat to Nanshan, it means that he must choose the river valley to get water or go around the mountain to the street pavilion. At this time, the street pavilion is already deserted. Whether he can find the water source depends on how much time it will take to get back and forth.
I'm afraid it's another question. Can this Northern Zhou army, which has been demoralized, really be able to endure such a torment?
"General, the general's flag on the opposite side has been raised, Helan!" A scout came over quickly.
"Helan...Master Helan?" Hou Mi frowned. (To be continued)
