Chapter 1049: Single-handedly Wang Zhao Yun

The Qin army occupied a total of four counties in Hanoi, and Su Dingfang only had 30,000 troops in his hands, of which 20,000 were still reorganized prisoners of war of the Liang army, but he faced Wang Mang's 80,000 army.

There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and if they divide their forces and defend them to the death, even if they can hold it in the end, they will definitely lose a lot of troops.

Saving land and losing people, this is not what Su Dingfang wants to see, what he wants is to achieve the greatest victory with the lowest casualties.

Therefore, Su Dingfang did not completely take a defensive position, but concentrated all the defensive equipment on Chaoge, and the remaining three counties were all strategically abandoned, concentrating on holding the city of Chaoge to prevent Wang Mang's army from threatening Henan Yin.

After ensuring the stability of Chaoge City, Su Dingfang still did not directly defend the city, and he would not let Wang Mang get the three counties so easily.

Su Dingfang set up various obstacles to delay Wang Mang's march, and at the same time led the main force out of the city to adopt the method of mobile warfare, concentrating forces to attack the enemy's weak points.

Wang Mang's command attribute has 90 points, and his ability to command troops is not weak, and there is no problem at all in commanding an army of 30,000 or 40,000, but it is a little difficult to command an army of 80,000, not to mention that he is still facing a generation of famous general Su Dingfang this time.

Wang Mang was originally full of confidence in this battle, but he was completely stunned by Su Dingfang soon after he marched, and Su Dingfang's operation felt a little familiar to him no matter how he looked at it.

What is it? Oh yes, this isn't *** guerrilla warfare!

When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy retreats, when the enemy retreats, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, and when the enemy is tired, I fight;

Su Dingfang is simply a deep *** true biography.

Wang Mang, as a third-generation red, of course, it is impossible not to know this sixteen-character dialect, but it is one thing to know, and how to crack it is another!

Wang Mang didn't expect that in the first battle of the second crossing, he would have to face this almost unsolvable tactic, he was still a newcomer on the battlefield, is it necessary to enlarge the move as soon as he comes?

Wang Mang read a lot of military books before the second crossing, so even if he knew that it was not easy to crack, he still wanted to try, and the result was naturally miserable.

Su Dingfang came and went quickly, Wang Mang couldn't give full play to the advantage of troops, but when the number of troops was about the same, his command ability was far inferior to Su Dingfang, and he was suppressed by him in several fierce battles in a row.

After paying a lot of price, Wang Mang finally understood the gap between himself and the famous general, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart that after recruiting the famous generals of the high commander, he would never lead the army in person again.

This leader is really not someone who can fight!

Although Wang Mang can't do Su Dingfang in command, he only needs to be able to use people, and although he himself has no famous generals, he borrowed a famous general from Chen Qingzhi, who is the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Baxian.

Wang Mang didn't expect Chen Baxian to also get up with Chen Qingyi, since he came, of course he wanted to maximize the role of these two people, so he separated Chen Qingzhi and Chen Baxian, Chen Qingzhi led the army alone, and Chen Baxian followed him just in case.

Wang Mang was extremely glad that he had made the decision at the beginning, otherwise he might not be able to come to power, so he handed over the temporary command of the army to Chen Baxian and asked him to deal with Su Dingfang.

Chen Baxian did not live up to Wang Mang's expectations, and in the confrontation with Su Dingfang, Chen Baxian did not fall into disadvantage, and the casualties of the army stopped.

Wang Mang relied on Chen Ba to make up for the shortcomings in command first, and then he wanted to give full play to his strengths in resourcefulness, and used all kinds of methods to force Su Dingfang to have a decisive battle with him.

Su Dingfang still has Fang Xuanling by his side, how could he easily fall for Wang Mang's calculations?

Wang Mang saw that Su Dingfang not only did not fall for the scheme, but could also calculate himself in turn, of course, he understood that Su Dingfang had a master around him to guide him, so he could only speed up the march and lead the army to Chaoge City as soon as possible, and then Su Dingfang would naturally have nothing to hide.

Under the joint efforts of Su Dingfang and Fang Xuanling, it took Wang Mang more than half a month to occupy the three county towns strategically abandoned by Su Dingfang, and when Wang Mang led the army to arrive at Chaoge City, he was shocked to find that Chaoge's defense was far beyond his imagination.

Is this really Asahika Castle?

Not only Wang Mang, but even Chen Baxian couldn't believe that the mere song was so strong.

You must know that the Chaoge City at this time is not the Song of the Yin Shang Period, after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Zhou, the Song of the Dynasty has completely declined, and the Warring States Period even fell into ruins several times, and then experienced several reconstructions, so the current Song is just a small county town.

But such an inconspicuous small county town was turned into a fortress by Su Dingfang, which made Wang Mang have the illusion that he could not attack.

"General, this city is not suitable for storming, Su Lie has arranged a large number of catapults and bows and crossbows on Chaoge City, and the assault will definitely cause heavy casualties, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to you Taishou at that time." Chen Baxian said with a serious face.

Although Chen Baxian's name is domineering, he is actually a Confucian general, who is extremely tactful and speaks very measuredly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

It's a pity that he's a bone-back. Wang Mang sighed in his heart.

Wang Mang himself started by usurping the throne, and in the face of Chen Baxian, who also started by usurping the throne, Wang Mang naturally could not have a good impression, but now he can use Chen Baxian's military ability.

Of course, Wang Mang knew that he could not attack by force, and he sent troops this time to strengthen the confidence of the southern princes, and once the loss of troops was too serious, even if he won the battle, it would do more harm than good.

"I don't know if Xingguo (Chen Baxian's words) has a clever plan to help Ben break this strong city?" Wang Mang asked with a smile.

After pondering for a while, Chen Baxian said: "Our army's morale is low now, and it is difficult to forcibly break the city, so it is better to send generals to challenge and rely on Dou Xian to improve morale." ”

Wang Mang smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, fighting general? Do you think I don't want to fight? But the key is that Su Dingfang has a heads-up king Zhao Yun on his side!

In the previous battle, Wang Mang had already suffered Zhao Yun's loss.

At that time, Zhao Yun led the division to come to sneak attack, Wang Mang knew that Changshan Zhao Zilong was powerful, so he sent his generals Wang Xian and Wang Gangchang to join forces to fight, but who knew that Huang Zhong was also sent by Su Dingfang, and Huang Zhong helped Zhao Yun block Wang Xian.

Although Wang Gangchang was the sixteenth ranked general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he quickly lost the upper hand in the face of Zhao Zilong, the second general of the Three Kingdoms.

Just when Wang Gangchang was about to lose, Wang Lin and Ai Zhang joined forces to help in the battle, but when they arrived, Wang Gangchang had already been killed by Zhao Yun, and another god general died in the hands of Zhao Yun.

Wang Lin and Ai Zhang, who came to help in the battle, were furious when they saw this, so they joined forces to fight against Zhao Yun, but they were still killed by Zhao Yun one after another, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.
