Chapter 145: Turning the Tide (1)
Huan Chong's feeling is very right, because Huan Xuan's opponent is Fu Hong. The problem is that Fu Hong knows Huan Xuan better, while Huan Xuan doesn't know Fu Hong, at least not comprehensively.
Fu Hong began to be the crown prince at the age of 1, and his career as a prince for more than 20 years made Fu Hong sophisticated and calm, but at the beginning, when the Great Qin Empire was expanding, Wen had Wang Meng, Wu had Deng Qiang, invincible, so Fu Hong did not need to go to the front line to fight, and in fact, for many years, he had only learned how to deal with government affairs, and he really did not fight. Even in many major military affairs, Fu Hong was also a literati and very gentle, for example, he opposed the attack on the Jin State and the western expedition to the Western Regions. This impression caused everyone in the world, including Huan Xuan, to think that he would not fight.
But there is a kind of thing in the world, called talent, and there is a kind of person, called genius, who said that people who have never been on the battlefield and have never fought a war will definitely not be able to fight? It's a pity that Huan Xuan doesn't have this awareness.
To say that Huan Xuan, after becoming famous in the First World War, although he was very proud, he did not get carried away, he knew that the Qin army would definitely draw strength to reinforce Lantian, because Lantian could not be lost, and he also arranged a detailed work in Chang'an City, and the matter of the Qin army's conscription oath was also passed back in time.
Although Huan Xuan was slightly surprised by the enthusiasm of the people to enlist in the army, he was not worried, no matter what, those parts were ordinary people, even if the people were holding weapons, because it was impossible to have long-term training, their combat effectiveness could not be compared to the regular army. Moreover, Huan Xuan also knew that in order to enhance his strength, Fu Jian also took out the 20,000 people at the bottom of the box and mixed them with these people.
It's hard to say whether this decision is right or wrong. If you are right, you can use the old to bring the new, and use the veteran to quickly let the new recruit grow, and the doubt is that there are too many recruits than veterans, once the new recruits have problems and can't stand it, it is likely that even the veterans will be dragged down.
Huan Xuan understood the latter way, so he was confident that he would defeat Fu Hong.
As for the surprise attack on Hongnong, it was completely improvised, Huan Xuan thought that he couldn't even think of it, Fu Hong naturally couldn't think of it, and Li Yuan of Lantian wouldn't think of it, so his 3000 light cavalry went at full speed and went straight to Lantian.
Fu Hong naturally couldn't predict Huan Xuan's thoughts, but the problem was that Fu Hong was really talented in military affairs.
When he ordered the main force to march forward with gongs and drums, he had already marched east with 5,000 of the most elite Yulin army, and then suddenly turned south, and the target was also Lantian.
Huan Xuan naturally sent scouts, according to the scout's return, Fu Hong's main force is taking the main road in a straight line, and marching towards Lantian with great momentum, Huan Xuan believes that this is Fu Hong's first time in battle, in order to create momentum for stability, and at the same time gather the whole army together, training recruits in the march, this approach is in line with the art of war, so Huan Xuan has no doubts.
Moreover, since he came to Lantian one day, Huan Xuan thought that Li Yuanbu would relax his vigilance, because under normal circumstances, the Lantian defenders would be able to hold out for a day no matter what, so a surprise attack on Lantian at this time would definitely lead to a complete victory.
But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate, when his light horse was only 20 miles away from Lantian and was doing the last rest before the war, the flanks were actually filled with smoke and dust!
It is clear that it was cavalry! A powerful cavalry.
"Get up! Get up for me! Hurry up! Huan Xuan, who suddenly thundered like five thunders, hurriedly asked the soldiers who had dismounted to rest to hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy.
It should be said that Huan Xuan is cautious enough, he knows that those who run long distances must take a little rest before the battle before they can enter the battle, and if they don't dismount, they can't fully relax on the horse, so Huan Xuan has divided everyone into three groups and rested separately, and he also sent people to reconnoiter on the flanks and rear.
But it didn't work, it was too smooth all the way, even if Huan Xuan kept calm, but Huan Xuan's Jingzhou soldiers had long been proud soldiers, and they had the feeling that Lao Tzu was the best in the world.
Moreover, Fu Hong had already come prepared, and the scout happened to be a little unwell, so he was killed by Fu Hong's team, and Huan Xuan lost his last chance.
By the time Huan Xuan's army hurriedly mounted his horse and finished the formation, Fu Hong had already personally led the army to rush over! Huan Xuan's army is the main force of the cavalry of the Jingzhou army, and it cannot be said that it is not elite, but Fu Hong's army is the essence of the essence of the Di people, and it can be said that it is the general reserve of Daqin.
The scene of the battle does not need to be described too much, it is completely chopping melons and vegetables, and the Jingzhou army, which was invincible a few days ago, finally saw what is the nation on the horse, and what is the real iron army.
Huan Xuan tried to organize resistance, but soon found that it was futile, his soldiers were no opponent at all, and they were soon defeated.
At this time, Huan Xuan was not reckless, the so-called heroes do not suffer immediate losses, Huan Xuan is a first-class hero, so he decisively chose to run away, the so-called stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, thousands of troops can always gain and lose, Huan Xuan is going to do a big career, and it is not cost-effective to put yourself in here.
As soon as Huan Xuan ran, the situation was irreversible, the Jin army was defeated, Fu Hong took the opportunity to cover up and kill, beheaded more than a thousand, Huan Xuan barely escaped after the desperate break of dozens of pro-soldiers, as for his soldiers, don't think about it for the time being, what Lantian or the like, it is already a mirror.
The news reached Lantian, the defenders thundered, since the battle of Weishui, the Qin army must be defeated in every battle, and there is a northern expedition of three armies going hand in hand, and there are princes from all over the country have rebelled, Daqin has reached a stormy moment, many people are thinking that it must be about to change the sky again.
But at this time, the crown prince Fu Hong personally took command of the expedition, and in the first battle, he beat Huan Xuan, who was the most famous a few days ago, and fled, giving people all over the world who are still loyal to Fu Jian a shot in the arm! The wind may be changing.
When Huan Chong personally took the elite soldiers to respond, Huan Xuan's defeat was certain, and Huan Xuan, who was covered in blood, cried and knelt in front of Huan Chong to beg for mercy, and Huan Chong was furious, claiming to deal with Huan Xuan's military law, and the generals were persuaded hard to allow him to make meritorious contributions, but Huan Xuan was still beaten with 20 military sticks, and now he has gone back to recuperate.
Huan Chong thought about it carefully, and then ordered the army to retreat 20 miles to the village, although everyone had opinions, but Huan Chong insisted, so the Jin army retreated for the first time since the expedition.
Fu Hong did not show weakness, he soon led the army across Lantian and camped 30 miles north of the Huan Chong camp, but after camping, he hung up a free battle card, and except for a few patrolling troops in the daily barracks, there were almost no people to be seen.
After Huan Chong learned of this news, everyone thought that Fu Hong must have led the army to reinforce other fronts, and the army he left behind was just to contain Huan Chong, and they suggested that they should decisively send troops and storm the Qin army camp.
Huan Chong originally thought so, but when he thought of Huan Xuan's fiasco, he felt that Fu Hong might be playing tricks again, so he thought about it for a long time and decided to take a look for himself.
Near the White River, Fu Hong's camp tent backed the mountains and water, and he won the essence of the art of war, which made Huan Chong also admire. However, Huan Chongdu led his army to a place where the camp tent was a few hundred paces, but there was still no sound inside, and there was no patrol army to be seen.
"Dashuai, this is an empty camp!" The soldiers around him couldn't help but say.
"Yes, Dashuai, you see it's now, and there is no cooking smoke, Fu Hong, this kid is making an empty plan."
"Dashuai, let's do it!"
Everyone asked Huan Chong to attack immediately, but Huan Chong smiled and announced that he would return to the camp.
After returning to the camp, Huan Chong immediately announced that important generals were not allowed to fight, and at the same time sent heavy troops to protect the grain road, at that time many people proposed that they should take the initiative to attack, but Huan Chong smiled mysteriously and refused their request.
Soon, the news came, Fu Hong really personally led the army to attack the Jin army's grain and grass storage in the black waters, and wanted to take the opportunity to burn the naval warships moored there, because the Jin army had already prepared, Fu Hong did not succeed, the two sides fought a big battle, the gains and losses were equal, Fu Hong finally retreated.
In this battle, the whole army was convinced that Huan Chong could no longer be convinced, and praised him as being like Sun Wu's resurrection and Wu Qi's life, and Huan Chong was only a reserved smile and did not refuse these high hats.
But in the next few days, Fu Hong disappeared again, and there was still no movement in the camp, but with the lesson of the last time, this time the Jin army was very calm. Huan Chong also believes that at this time, there is enough food and grass anyway, and the road back is safe, and it is the right way to respond to all changes without change.
So the question is, where is Fu Hong?
In fact, Fu Hong's sneak attack on the black waters is also a feint! After the First World War, he immediately led the main cavalry of about 10,000 people, including 3,000 newcomers, day and night, to the northeast, the goal is Hongnong!
Under Hongnong City, Yao Chang, who has regrouped, is fighting a bloody battle with Murong Hong, Murong Hong is known as an army of 100,000, and Murong Hong has gone into battle shirtless many times and charged in person, Xianbei people are not afraid of death for the great cause of restoring the country, Yao Chang can no longer support it!
The last time he lost his teacher and lost his land, because the country was employing people, Fu Jian didn't do anything to Yao Chang, but Yao Chang knew in his heart that this time, if he failed again, I was afraid that he would not have the face to live.
"Father, we can't stand it, to withdraw or not to withdraw?" His most proud son Yao Xing said with blood on his face at this time, after many battles, Yao Chang's department suffered heavy losses, and many people here are their Qiang people, and they are Yao Chang's biggest capital! But Yao Chang asked him to rebel, but he didn't dare, so although his flesh hurt, he couldn't have other thoughts. Moreover, the Qiang people and the Murong family have always been at odds with each other, even if he rebelled, the people of the Murong family could not give him good fruits to eat.
"Hold on." Yao Chang thought about it, wiped the sweat on his forehead, no matter what, hold on until it gets dark today, and at that time, you will send someone to clean up ......"
Yao Chang originally wanted to say that when it gets dark, he will run away at night to save some strength, and if he does his best, Fu Jian will not blame him too much, but when it comes to this, he is stunned!
Because to the southwest, a cavalry is coming here at full speed.
