1172 Brothers Against Brothers

Although the intensity of the battle in Wuguan is higher than that of Huayin, it is really limited.

With the powerful killer weapon of the general cannon on the battlefield, there is no solution at this stage, and any enemy has no power to resist in the face of such a powerful weapon.

It is true that the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Wuguan is much stronger than that of the rabble like the Hongnong villagers, but most of the combat preparations are concentrated on the wall, but under the fire of the general's artillery, the wall has become a forbidden area for the living.

On one side is the panicked crowd who were caught off guard, and on the other side are the Xiangyang soldiers who are in full swing and brave to fight for merit, and the final result of the war can be imagined.

The whole battle lasted for more than an hour, and the soldiers of Xiangyang basically drove the enemy out of Wuguan Guancheng completely. A large number of defeated soldiers fled to the suburbs, and then in the relentless pursuit of the Xiangyang army, several battalions on the back road were crushed!

The Xiangyang army was like a bamboo, although it did not have enough rest before the battle, but such an invincible battle situation was enough to stimulate the potential of the soldiers to fully burst out, and after conquering Wuguan, they pulled out seven or eight enemy camps in a row.

The battle lasted until there was no trace of the enemy around Wuguan, and the pursuing troops from all walks of life dragged their tired bodies and returned to Wuguan to recuperate with high spirits.

In the evening, Huan Xuan's Chinese army tent entered the city of Wuguan Pass, and all kinds of battle results were counted slightly, and even Huan Xuan, a hundred war generals, couldn't help but smile. Such a big victory is simply something he has never experienced since Rong.

The defeat of the enemy army was too hasty, and a large number of assets and materials in the city were not used to collect them, except for the lost part of the chaotic fighting in the previous city, almost all of the rest were accepted by the Xiangyang army.

Although Guo Jing's department is entrenched in Shangluo, the situation is not good, but Wuguan, as the gateway to Shangluo, is so heavy on defending the fortress, and it is also hoarding a large amount of goods and military materials for the purpose of holding on. There were nearly 10,000 defenders in this realm, and they were defeated in a battle, and there was no attrition of any confrontation, so the battle gains were really rich and abnormal, enough to support the next military attack of the army.

In order to ensure that the soldiers could have sufficient physical strength to carry out the next battle, after the army entered the city, Huan Xuan did not even arrange for the soldiers to repair the seriously damaged wall of the city. After seeing the powerful attack power of the general's artillery, the enemy army has been killed, and it is not too big to repair the wall.

Therefore, Huan Xuan only retained the basic defense, and then used the captured military funds to feast on the sergeants, arranged for the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and at the same time ordered people to quickly send a message to the successor army to abandon the baggage and speed up the march.

The news that Wuguan was conquered was transmitted back to the rear, and the generals of Xiangyang were also surprised, they also felt that such a fortress as Wuguan must be trapped with a large army, and even have to be combined with a surprise attack on the back road, so that it can only be taken by the enemy.

But now that the Chinese army has just arrived in the realm, even if the news that Xiongguan has been taken back is really incomprehensible. Although they did not have the opportunity to witness the majesty of the general's cannon with their own eyes, they could imagine a little bit of the majesty of the people in front of them after a little thought.

Therefore, there is no need for the main general Huan Xuan to make another military order to urge, and all walks of life have a tacit understanding to give up the baggage of the army, and go to the Wuguan at full speed.

In the second half of the night, all the people and horses had already gathered outside Wuguan City, and the speed of this advance even surprised even Huan Xuan, the main general, and wondered if this was still the Xiangyang army he was familiar with before?

However, no matter how surprised Huan Xuan was, it was not as high as the surprise of the soldiers who rushed to Wuguan later. Through the meager morning light, they could already see the traces of the battle left on and off the wall and inside and outside the city, so they inferred how the momentum of yesterday's battle was like a rainbow, and their thoughts were inevitably more eager.

"With such a strong victory, it is time to strike bravely to reap the rewards! The last general will wait for the relay force to rush forward and kill the enemy! ”

Encouraged by this, the generals of the rear road rushed to Huan Xuan's tent to fight for the opportunity to fight, regardless of the fatigue of rushing overnight.

When Huan Xuan saw this scene, he was also emotional, especially when he thought of the posture of the generals who shirked and were too lazy to apply for the battle when Xiangyang was recruited, which was in stark contrast to the current performance of eagerness to fight.

But the morale is so uplifting, which also makes Huan Xuan very gratified, and the whole is so eager to fight, it is conceivable that Xiangyang will be completely included in the control of the line in the future.

However, Huan Xuan was not a young Meng Lang, and he did not get carried away because of a momentary victory, on the one hand, he arranged for people from all walks of life to recuperate, and on the other hand, he sent people to ride and tell General Shen on the North Road, asking for instructions on what to do next.

News from the north arrived almost at the same time, General Shen had already entered Hongnong, and the rest of Wang's elite army had continued to attack westward along Weishui. General Shen's instructions to the Xiangyang Army were also very simple, that is, to continue to attack, not to make reservations, to expand the results of the battle in the shortest possible time, so as to destroy all the men and horses of Guo Jing's troops outside Sanfu!

After receiving this military order, there was nothing to say, and when the strength of the soldiers recovered a little, Huan Xuan integrated the men and horses of all walks of life a little, divided them into three ladders of people and horses in the front, middle and back, and went directly to the west of Wuguan.

After Wuguan, there are no more steep mountains and rivers, but it does not mean that there is no stop, Hu Jun still has a large number of scattered in the suburbs to defend themselves, but it is not of great significance in defense, and the main thing is to disperse in the suburbs to eat on one side.

After Guo Chun led a part of his troops to escape from Wuguan yesterday, he went straight to the Shangluo base camp in the west, and although he was also dispatching soldiers to inform the garrisons along the way, in such a chaotic and critical situation, the effect of military intelligence transmission could not be overestimated.

The garrison of his unit spread out too much, and basically except for the line of escape, knowing that the military situation was critical, and abandoning the camp and following Guo Chun to return to Shangluo, the other troops further away did not even know that Wuguan had been lost.

Wuguan is the gateway fortress that Guo Jing focuses on, and everyone knows this, they are still quite confident in the defense of Wuguan, and even if they don't defend it, they will confront each other for a long time.

But he didn't expect the Wuguan to be so sudden, so when the mighty Xiangyang Army appeared outside its fort, many enemy soldiers were completely defenseless, and even some of the fort soldiers were still hunting and hunting in the suburbs, and then fell into a fierce offensive and a painful blow.

In this outskirts of the southeast area of Shangluo, whether it is some of the garrisons of the Hu army or the local township dock walls, they are almost completely powerless to parry, and they have been broken and uprooted one after another.

Soon, the Xiangyang army alone received nearly 10,000 surrendered prisoners of war from all sides, and the beheadings were innumerable. In order to ensure such a sharp offensive rhythm, Huan Xuan could only divide his troops along the way, detain these prisoners separately, and wait for the sergeants on the back road to be absorbed one by one.

Shangluo itself was split and ruled by Jingzhao, so it was already very close to Sanfu. Although a large number of Guo Jing's men and horses were scattered in the suburbs to eat, they also maintained nearly 10,000 soldiers in the base camp of Shangluo County.

Originally, it was useless to set up an ambush outside the territory of Hongnong County, and even had to give up Guo Jing, the main general, because of the pursuit of the soldiers, Guo Shi was already hated to death, and when he heard the news of the loss of Wuguan, his heart was shocked beyond imagination!

"Where the Wuguan is located, our army is guarding the gate, and half of the military resources and morale are concentrated there, but you lost it in a battle! If you don't fight to the death, how can you still have the face to return! ”

Seeing Guo Chun's remnants retreating to Shangluo in embarrassment, Guo Shi's eyes were already shattered, and he couldn't wait to kill Guo Chun directly. Whether Wuguan was lost or not was secondary, and what made Guo Shi feel the most heartache was the large amount of materials that were discarded in the city.

These remnants of them were stationed in Shangluo, and they themselves lacked much production, and they could only accumulate some family funds by collecting and plundering, which was the biggest support to maintain their army, but they were completely abandoned by Guo Chun, and Wuguan, the gateway with high hopes, could not be guarded.

"Do you still have the face to accuse me? Uncle loves you as if you were your own, but you are afraid of the enemy and abandon your uncle, which is so outrageous! ”

In the face of Guo Shi's reproach, Guo Chun is also vigorous, in comparison, he followed Guo Jing to fight on this side for a longer time, but Guo Shi came up to help his uncle's arm, and he had a grudge in his heart, and after learning that Guo Jing had been captured, he suddenly completely broke out.

"Do you want to meet me at this moment?"

Seeing Guo Chun pressing the saber in his hand, Guo Shi's eyes widened for a while, and his mood became more irritable.

"Although I will not fight with you at this moment, you will not want to command me again!"

Guo Chunjiu has been in the army with his uncle for a long time, and he has a group of supporters around him, but now the brothers are incompatible, and there are also quite a number of generals in the military tent who stand behind Guo Chun.

"Since you say that your uncle has given you a heavy responsibility, I will not fight with you. But at present, whether Shangluo can defend it is still uncertain, and the three auxiliary roads must be opened for me to have no worries about the future. I have led the crowd to pave the way back, and as for whether my uncle can keep this inheritance, it depends on whether you can resist this heavy task when you are in danger! ”

After Guo Chun finished speaking, when he withdrew from the military tent with great momentum, some of his supporters also followed after him. Even some people were not convinced of Guo Chun at all, just because they knew that the situation was not good, and they did not want to stay behind the palace to block the tiger and wolf elite of the Jin army, they also followed.

"Inferior son, inferior son......"

Guo Shi saw this scene, and was so angry that he was almost speechless for a while, and now the Shangluo border defense has been broken, and the two male divisions of the Jin army are like sharp knives straight into the heart of Shangluo, the situation is already critical, if they can work together, they may still have a glimmer of life, but now Guo Chun actually broke with him, so that Guo Shi understands that Shangluo is difficult to defend.

"Pass my order, gather the Chinese army from all directions, and we will wait for the brave soldiers of Jinzhong to fight to the death with the thief army!"

After struggling for a long time, Guo Shi finally did not make up his mind to kill Guo Chun, and now it is indeed one of the opportunities to retreat from Sanfu, even if Guo Chun does not jump out, most of the other generals also have this idea in their hearts. Even if he tried to kill Guo Chun, as Guo Chun said, he sat back and watched his uncle Guo Jing fall into the enemy formation, which was a big loss of popularity, and it was difficult to unite the forces and win the hearts of the people.

As soon as he thought that his uncle had been captured by the enemy in what he had seen with his own eyes, he was heartbroken to death, and he did not want to flee backwards like a lost dog, and he was determined to show his heroism to the enemy army and wash away his name of unfilial piety!
