Chapter 1193: Poor Rescue
The military general who came out to invite Ying is named Zhong Lun.
Zhong Lun was not born as a military general, but as a literati, he used to be a scholar, and later I don't know if he was inspired by Jia Fu to switch from literature to martial arts.
However, when Zhong Lun turned to martial arts, he was over forty years old.
He has been a martial artist for nearly ten years, and he has not done much, and his performance in the Chengdu court is mediocre, and he is an unknown one.
This time, Zhong Lun was able to stand up and take the initiative to ask for help, which is really surprising.
Gongsun Shu looked at Zhong Lun and asked, "Can General Zhong save General Zhao?" ”
Zhong Lun Zhengse said: "Weichen is willing to do his best to rescue General Zhao from the predicament!" ”
Gongsun Shu asked, "General Zhong only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he was able to rescue General Zhao?" ”
Zhong Lun said: "Your Majesty, the Wu Han army that cut off General Zhao's retreat is less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Weichen thinks that when our department arrives in Guangdu, we can join forces with General Zhao to attack the Wu Han army, and our department and General Zhao have a total of 50,000 troops, and Weichen is confident that Wu Han can be broken!" ”
Gongsun Shu's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when Luo Ying arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhong's strategy is too risky, please think twice!" ”
Zhong Lun weighed a few pounds and taels, and Luo Ying knew it in his chest.
Zhong Lun has always been arrogant, and he has always thought that His Majesty did not discover his intelligence, so he was depressed in the court.
On weekdays, Zhong Lun looked down on Jia Fu very much, thinking that those who turned from literature to martial arts were all literary generals, but Jia Fu was known for his brave crown of the three armies, which was simply a black for the generals.
If you want to talk about military books and war strategies, Zhong Lun is indeed proficient in research, and can even be called backwards.
But he lacks actual combat experience, and the tactics discussed are all on paper, typical theory is greater than practice, against a famous general like Wu Han, sending a nerd like Zhong Lun to face the battle, isn't it a intention to send him to death?
Zhong Lun looked at Luo Ying and said: "General Zhao is the pillar of the country, he has followed His Majesty for so many years, he has been loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court, and he has both merit and hard work.
What makes the people of the world who support His Majesty even more chilling?
Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, if they lose the hearts of the people, how can Chengdu compete with Luoyang? ”
His words were impassioned, and many ministers of Gongsun Shu nodded their heads again and again, thinking that he was reasonable.
Luo Ying frowned, Zhong Lun said this, it was all nonsense, empty words, it sounded good, but it had no practical significance.
He ignored the indignant Zhong Lun, but looked at Gongsun Shu and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Wu Han's siege of General Zhao's headquarters without attacking is to lead our troops to rescue, Your Majesty must not fall for Wu Han's evil!" ”
Zhong Lun said loudly: "Wu Han is in Guangdu, full of battles, there are only 50,000 people, I led 20,000 troops, went to the rescue, and joined forces with General Zhao, there are also 50,000, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, our army will not fall behind, not to mention, our troops and General Zhao can work together to flank Wu Han's 15,000 people, how can this battle be defeated?" ”
As he spoke, he knelt down to Gongsun Shu and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to make a military order, if General Zhao cannot be rescued, Weichen can be at your Majesty's disposal!" ”
Regardless of whether Zhong Lun's strategy is feasible or not, the determination he shows to win is what Gongsun Shu is willing to see, and it is also what the Chengdu Imperial Court needs the most.
Gongsun Shu no longer hesitated, nodded to Zhong Lun, and said, "Okay! General Chung! I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you will go to Guangdu to rescue General Zhao, as long as you can bring General Zhao back to Chengdu, I will be rewarded! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhong Lun thanked him and bowed his head forward.
Seeing this, Luo Ying couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that it was a plan, he had to send troops to rescue, so he lost his troops, and Chengdu was in danger.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the complacent Zhong Lun deliberately caught up with Luo Ying, with a smug smile on his face, and asked deliberately: "The last general will fight this time, does General Luo have any instructions?" ”
Luo Ying looked at Zhong Lun, who was complacent, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "General Zhong led 20,000 troops to the battle, and the life and death of 20,000 soldiers are all in the hands of General Zhong alone, General Zhong ...... Do it for yourself! ”
Zhong Lun was stunned, then burst out laughing, shrugged his shoulders, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you General Luo for reminding you, the last general will definitely remember General Luo's teachings!" ”
After speaking, he smiled slightly again and strode away.
Zhao Yi was trapped in Guangdu, and Gongsun Shu of Chengdu sent Zhong Lun to lead 20,000 Shu troops to Guangdu to rescue.
According to Zhong Lun's idea, after he led his troops to the territory of Guangdu County, he could immediately send people to Zhao Yi's army camp to contact Zhao Yi, and then the two sides would send troops together to attack Wu Hanbu.
He had a good idea, but Wu Han didn't give him a chance to join forces with Zhao Yi at all.
When Zhong Lun led his troops to the vicinity of Guangdu County, he looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, and he did not dare to march rashly, so he immediately ordered the whole army to stop and camp in place.
At the same time, Zhong Lun sent several groups of spies to Zhao Yijun's camp.
Guangdu is now the base camp of the Han army, and Zhong Lun also knows that entering Guangdu is full of dangers, so it is relatively safe to camp outside Guangdu County for the time being.
Just when Zhonglun was camping, people suddenly felt that the ground was trembling slightly, and before they could figure out what was going on, a Shu army scout hurriedly ran back.
The scout's face was pale and his expression was panicked, and he ran to Zhong Lun's approach and shouted urgently: "General, the Han army...... The Han cavalry is coming! ”
When Zhong Lun heard this, his eyes widened like cowbells, the Han army is coming?
Didn't the Han army all besiege Zhao Yi in Guangdu?
The place where you are now has not yet entered Guangdu County! He was stunned for a moment, and then asked urgently, "How many enemy troops are there?" ”
"Look...... I can't see clearly, it's all ...... It's all cavalry! ”
Zhong Lun was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "The whole army is arrayed, ready to meet the enemy!" Hurry up and send the order, and the whole army is arrayed, ready to meet the enemy! ”
It's too late! The speed of the Youzhou cavalry is too fast, and the Shu army is now camping, and the soldiers are scattered everywhere, some are digging, some are cutting, and they can't be assembled together in a short time.
This Han cavalry does not have many troops, a total of about 3,000 cavalry, and the main general of the Han army led by it is none other than the great Sima Wu Han.
The 3,000 cavalry led by Wu Han rushed over like thunder, and the cavalry did not get close, but they had already seen the dust rolling up in the sky, and looked at it from a distance, as if a large sandstorm was coming.
Zhong Lun stared dumbfounded at the sandstorm sweeping in the distance, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his cheeks, and he screamed, "The whole army is arrayed!" The whole army is in line quickly! ”
At this time, his shouts were all in a tremble.
Of the 20,000 soldiers, only five or six thousand were temporarily assembled, and the phalanx listed was as if it had been gnawed by a dog, lacking one piece in the east and one in the west, and it was incomplete, and the enemy had not yet attacked, and they themselves were already riddled with holes.
At this time, the distance between the Han cavalry and them was only a hundred paces.
Zhong Lun screamed, "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the enemy! All of them let out their arrows and shoot the incoming enemy-" Not to mention, there are indeed many archers among the temporarily assembled Shu army.
Archers are a scarce type of soldier and have a high status in the army, and ordinary soldiers have gone to camp to work, while archers can hide and stay in place to rest, so when they are urgently assembled, the archers are not missing, and all are present.
Hearing Feng Lun's order, the archers of the Shu army twisted their bows and arrows together, aimed at the incoming enemy in front of them, and shot arrows.
Airplanes! An arrow array rose from the Shu army camp and flew towards the Han cavalry camp opposite.
Bang Bang Bang! As the arrows fell, from time to time, cavalry fell from their horses, or rolled to the ground with men and horses.
However, the arrow array of the Shu army not only failed to slow down the speed of the Han cavalry's charge, but also made the Han cavalry faster.
The distance of 100 paces became 50 paces away in the blink of an eye.
At first glance, the cavalry rushed out of the dust storm, with shields in one hand and spears in the other, and the people were lying on their horses, sprinting forward.
This situation made Zhong Lun sweat like rain, which was too scary! He never knew that the enemy army on the battlefield was so terrifying! Zhong Lun subconsciously turned his horse's head and ran behind his own camp.
His actions like this are undoubtedly telling Shu Jun that whoever stands in front will die.
The archers who put arrows in front saw that the main generals were hiding backwards, how could they stand stupidly in place, waiting for the Han cavalry to rush over.
The archers invariably retreated one after another, and as a result, the arrows they shot were also greatly inaccurate and powerful, and the threat to the Han cavalry was greatly reduced.
Fifty paces is a matter of more than ten seconds for a cavalry in charge.
When the cavalry rushed to the front of the Shu army's camp, for a while, the screams became one.
The impact of a Mercedes-Benz war horse is similar to that of a Mercedes-Benz car, crashing into people and flying them out.
The cavalry on the horse, the spear pierced out, and the powerful impact force was so strong that even if it was blocked with a shield, the shield would be pierced.
Under the cavalry, all beings are equal, at this time, what archers, soldiers, generals, in front of the cavalry, it is just a ball of flesh and blood.
The Shu army phalanx composed of thousands of people was charged by the Han cavalry, and it rushed to pieces, and groups of Shu soldiers rushed to pieces, crying for their fathers and mothers, and running in all directions.
Wu Han, who was the leader, held a silver halberd and entered the Shu army, and the Shu army in front of him was knocked to the ground by the halberd one after another.
The war horse trampled on the corpse of the Shu army and rushed forward.
From afar, Wu Han saw the handsome banner in the Shu army.
He didn't think about it, and led the team to rush over, and their group of Han cavalry opened a bloody way in the Shu army camp, and they just killed the handsome banner of the Shu army.
When he arrived here, Wu Han only saw the soldiers of the Shu army with the handsome banner, but did not see Zhong Lun, the chief general of the Shu army.
You don't have to think about it to guess that Zhong Lun must have fled first.
Wu Han roared violently, rushed to the front of Shuai Qi, first swept out with a halberd, cut off Shuai Qi, and then stabbed forward with a halberd, stabbing the Shu soldiers with Shuai Qi to death.
He turned back to the cavalry soldiers who followed behind him and shouted, "Find Zhong Lun for me and behead this thief!" ”
"Kill Zhong Lun—" the Han cavalry shouted in unison.
Zhong Lun, who was hiding behind the Shu army camp, also heard the shouts of the Han cavalry, he was so frightened that he dared to stay, turned his horse's head and ran to the rear, shouting as he ran: "Withdraw the army!" The whole army retreats! ”
Now that the Shu army wants to withdraw, where can it still withdraw?
The two legs of the Shu army, no matter how fast they ran, they also walked quickly to the four legs of the cavalry.
The Han cavalry pursued and killed the defeated Shu army, and the corpses of the Shu army on the ground were all over the field.
The 20,000 Shu troops led by Zhong Lun did not enter the territory of Guangdu County, but only walked near the border of Guangdu County, and when they were about to camp in place, they were attacked by the Han cavalry, and the 20,000 soldiers were scattered and collapsed.
Zhong Lun's luck was not bad, he was not found out by Wu Han from the chaos, and in the end, he escaped back to Chengdu with thousands of remnants.
The scale of this battle was not large, and the battle was not long, and the Han cavalry led by Wu Han was taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, and defeated Zhong Lun's department.
The casualties of the Shu army were as many as tens of thousands, and many Shu soldiers were scattered by the Han army, and they did not know where they fled.
After this battle, Gongsun Shu was completely cold, and he no longer dared to send people to rescue Zhao Yi, and the 30,000 Shu army led by Zhao Yi became a complete lone army in Guangdu County.
After being trapped for half a month, Zhao Yi's troops ran out of food and grass, and the soldiers of the whole army had to rely on killing war horses to satisfy their hunger.
