In the battle that lasted for more than a month, it was not surprising that Zhu Ran's tribe suffered casualties of more than 4,000 people. After all, Zheng Pu's tribe, which was in a favorable location and defended the area, also suffered thousands of casualties.
But the biggest factor was that Zheng Pu never left camp to fight back.
The reason why the Lu Xun tribe lost more than 10,000 men was because the Guan Xing tribe seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack.
However, it was said that after Guan Xing and everyone made a plan to confuse the situation, the Han army kept guarding the camp with half of the troops. They attacked and defended like this for seven or eight days. As expected, the Wu army discovered that the Han army seemed to be "dwindling due to the disappearance of the smoke."
There are also vague speculations that Liu Yin and Jufu have moved to block the water valley.
With expectations in their hearts, they naturally became even more determined to attack the enemy.
The war had only started for half a month, and the Wu army had suffered casualties of nearly 4,000 soldiers. However, the morale of the generals and generals was high, and they still felt that if the offensive was more fierce, they might be able to break through the camp.
However, Lu Xun was different.
The previous disastrous defeat in the Battle of Shouchun was his only defeat.
It was also the turning point when Jiangdong began to decline in national power, causing no one in the government or the public to think about the Northern Expedition.
It was enough to make him feel unhappy for the rest of his life.
The Wei State's "dark under the lamp" tactic of hiding Luoyang's Chinese army in Shouchun City was also fresh in his memory, and now the Han army's defense made him feel familiar.
Yes, after many days of hard work, he discovered some clues.
In other words, the "precariousness" of the Han army's defense was somewhat deliberate.
It was as if they deliberately let Jiangdong know that they would no longer be able to hold on and the camp was about to fall.
However, there was no trace of worry on the faces of Dub or Sima on the low wall, and even the soldiers did not have sad faces or were filled with awareness of their mortality.
These unusual signs were enough for Lu Xun to sense that danger was lurking.
Therefore, he just attacked the fort on that day, privately summoned Quan Cong to discuss the situation, directly revealed the strangeness of the Han army, and asserted that the Han army had not turned away.
After Quan Cong listened, he was silent for a while.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Captain, whether the Shu soldiers have hidden their troops or not has little to do with our army's attack. And if it is as the governor said, the Shu soldiers did not behave as our army did."
I wish!"
Hearing this, Lu Xun was also silent.
Yes, they came to attack this time with no intention of breaking through the Han army's obstruction and rescuing the Tang Counselor's Department in Shangyong City!
Moreover, it is self-evident that the purpose of the Han army hiding their troops is to counterattack, and they can prepare secretly first and engage in a fierce frontal battle with the Han army. After achieving the previously promised "loss of 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, they can
In addition to the purpose of "withdrawing from the war," it also caused many casualties to the Han army. Isn't this just a strategic decision?
But there was still a trace of sadness in Lu Xun's heart.
After seeing through the enemy's intentions, he can naturally make them self-defeating!
Although it is impossible for the Battle of Yiling to be staged again, the shame of being defeated in the Battle of Shouchun is not a problem!
However, limited by Jiangdong's current national destiny and future expectations, he had to cooperate with the Han army's tactics and continue to fool the soldiers and send them to the road of no return.
In this way, the feeling in my heart is ultimately difficult to calm down.
"It's just that I'm rigid."
After a long time, he turned the melancholy on his brows into a relieved smile, "It is true as Zihuang said, if the Shu soldiers are willing to come out of camp to fight, it will be just as our army wishes. Well, be prepared for a surprise attack by the Shu soldiers.
This matter cannot be announced to the public, and I need to personally visit the formation every day to supervise the battle, only Lao Zihuang made arrangements in advance."
"Okay, Governor, don't worry."
Quan Cong did not shirk, and immediately nodded heavily, vowing, "I will definitely arrange this matter properly. If the Shu soldiers really come out to fight, I will let them know that our Jiangdong swordsmen are not at a disadvantage!"
He is not arrogant.
As a veteran of the military for many years, and a man who calculated mentally but not intentionally, he was confident enough to do it.
However, the entire Jiangdong did not know that the Zhechong Army in the Bashan North Road Camp was previously a prisoner of the Wei State, a group of people who fought for themselves with the hope of winning the future with their lives.
A person who doesn't care much about the outcome of the war, but is eager for the merit of beheading.
These prisoners of Wei all know that the Han court, which is committed to returning the old capital, will not break out too many wars with Jiangdong, but can give them the opportunity to change their destiny, and this is the only one!
Never miss it again.
They won't allow themselves to miss out.
Things in the world are like chess, sometimes one wrong move means the whole game is lost.
Although Lu Xun's generals were able to see through the Han army's intentions, and Quan Cong's advance deployment was perfect, it was this little information asymmetry that led to their lonely ending.
Yes, Quan Cong's deployment is impeccable.
He withdrew the two elite troops Liu Zan and Chen Biao who had been the first ones to rest and reorganize, and used them as the backbone to prepare the Han army to leave the camp. After continuing to attack the fortress for a few days, he asked General Lu Xun to supervise the transfer of grain and grain.
Zhuge Rong, who was waiting for other matters, took over the responsibility of attacking the enemy.
This was to lure the Han army to leave the camp as soon as possible.
Because Zhuge Rong is very mediocre.
Compared with his brother Zhuge Ke, the difference between general Cai Zhi is like clouds and mud.
If Zhuge Jin hadn't sent his second son to Shu to be adopted by the prime minister in his early years, and if Zhuge Ke had already recruited Shanyue's elite soldiers and meritorious lords by virtue of his talents, Zhuge Rong would never have been able to lead Zhuge Jin's old tribe.
Yes, Sun Quan had no choice.
Moreover, he did not dare to break Jiangdong's military command system of "father after death and son after death", thereby inducing disunity among the officials.
Therefore, if Zhuge Rong, who had not long attacked his father's old army, came to attack the enemy, the Wu army's offensive could be imagined.
Not only are they not as fearless as Liu Zan, Chen Biao and others, but they are also timid with low morale, almost focusing on participation!
And this is exactly what Quan Cong wants.
He wanted to make the Han army feel that the Wu army's offensive was weak and was unable to continue, and that it was about to stop and return. If the Han army's Tibetan troops did not come out to counterattack, they might not have another chance.
His plan also succeeded.
When Guan Xing saw this, he was a little confused.
Because he found that Wu Jun had changed a lot, so much that he felt that it might be dangerous to send troops to counterattack.
But he could not withstand other generals' requests for battle.
Especially Fu Qian.
He was full of righteousness, and with one sentence, Guan Xing was no longer hesitant, "Everyone in the east of the Yangtze River is a rat! Even if there is a premeditated plan, so what? How can we be the leader of our army with a righteous flag and a dignified display? Furthermore,
All the soldiers in Zhechong are thirsty for battle. If the general does not allow us to go to war, I fear that the army will be unstable and the soldiers will complain!"
At this point, an attack is inevitable.
At first, the occupation was as Lu Xun and Quan Cong expected.
When Zhuge Rong's troops were attacking, the Han army suddenly opened the camp and swept in. Liu Zan and Chen Biao's troops, who had been waiting for a long time, stopped their progress, turning their sudden attack into a battle between the two armies in the wild.
of fierce battle.
Moreover, many Han soldiers were quite surprised by Wu Jun's preparations. They were slightly panicked for a while, but Wu Jun gained an unexpected advantage.
But as time went by, the balance of victory began to tilt.
The troops of Liu Zan and Chen Biao were both elite, and everyone was willing to fight with all their strength, but in terms of morale, combat power, and decisiveness, they could not compare with the Zhe Chong army who fought for themselves.
As soon as the battle began, the Han army was contained.
After fighting fiercely for half an hour, the two armies were evenly matched, and the soldiers were fighting fiercely with high morale.
As an hour passed, the Han army became more and more energetic, while the soldiers in Jiangdong became slightly tired.
When two hours passed and the sun set over the mountains, the battle situation began to become clearer.
The morale of the Han army was still undiminished, and many soldiers were still like the Qin army who were "happy to hear the battle" in the past. They cut off the ears of the Jiangdong soldiers who had been killed and tied them around their waists, and continued to advance bravely. On the other hand, on the Jiangdong side, as the soldiers left behind
Due to the weakness of Zan and Chen Biao, the soldiers of other departments were already panic-stricken and retreated step by step.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that victory or defeat is almost certain.
Quan Cong was not expecting this.
Lu Xun, who had never thought about victory before thinking about defeat, led his own troops to form a strong crossbow formation on the side before the army was completely defeated, as the rear army; he also ordered Quan Cong, Liu Zan and other troops to fight at the same time.
Retreat and pass in front of his headquarters.
This approach cannot change the outcome of Wu Jun's defeat.
But it made it impossible for the Han army to expand its victory.
Because when his headquarters blocked the Han army's pursuit, it also gave Quan Cong, Liu Zan and others time to reorganize their formation.
There is no need to worry that Quan Cong and other departments will collapse.
At this critical moment, Jiangdong's private ownership is an advantage; as long as the general is determined to die, the private soldiers will not abandon the general.
And the sunset will soon disappear into the mountains!
Under the cover of night, the Han army could not continue to pursue in the dark.
In fact, the Han army had no intention of pursuing it.
Gai Yin, Guan Xing and other generals knew that Zhechong's army could not be allowed to enter Xiangyang or get close to the border with Wei.
Therefore, when the sky gradually became dark, Guan Xing ordered his troops to retreat.
It also brought an end to the war that lasted for more than a month.
Zhechong's army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, but the Wu army's casualties were three times that of the Han army. In addition, Zhu Ran's troops lost more than 4,000 people, and they completely lost the ability to rescue Shangyong City.
However, the joys and sorrows of both sides about the outcome of the battle are different.
Sun Quan, who was far away in the Jingnan Public Security Bureau, learned of the results of the battle and felt sad at first.
Immediately he breathed a sigh of relief again.
Jiangdong no longer had the strength to participate in the struggle between Han and Wei, so it would naturally be able to fade away from the war and usher in the time to recuperate.
And he immediately sent an envoy to ask for peace.
He also wanted to renew the previous alliance with Bashu to jointly attack Wei.
The price was that the three counties in the east and the three counties in the west of Jiaozhou were all returned to the Han Dynasty, and the world was previously divided into "Yun, Qing, Xu, and You belong to Wu; Yan, Ji, Bing, and Liang belong to Shu. The land of Sizhou
"With Hangu Pass as the boundary", Youzhou and Sili Xiaowei Department were all assigned to the Han Dynasty.
Of course, this is just a temporary measure.
His original intention was to claim that Jiangdong no longer wanted to compete with the Han Dynasty, and hoped to restore Jiangdong's national strength through trade with Bashu merchants.
When the Prime Minister learned about the result of the battle, he smiled at first, and then became a little worried.
Without him, Jiangdong would have been defeated too quickly!
It was so fast that the prime minister began to worry. Without Jiangdong to contain the Han forces, the Wei army would not dare to launch a decisive battle in Guanzhong.
