Chapter 0856: Abnormal Northern Frontier Army
At Qishuikou, the Hu cavalry is crossing the Yellow River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at the subordinate cavalry who were crossing the river, Zhai Ya's face was gloomy. After receiving Xu Maogong's order, she was in a very bad mood.
At this time, at the moment of the fierce battle, Xu Maogong not only did not let her enter the Guandu battlefield, but ordered her to lead the Hu cavalry army to leave the Central Plains and cross the river to return to Hebei, which made her very angry.
Zhai Ya had a feeling of being despised and insulted.
Except for Li Yi, the generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army did not trust themselves and Ding Ling and other Hu cavalry armies, as if these troops staying in the Central Plains would bring them bad luck.
Zhao Yun saw that Zhai Ya was in a bad mood, and comforted him with kind words: "Sister-in-law, it is the eldest brother's order to let you return to Hebei with Da Danyu." Don't blame Mr. Mao Gong, he is just doing what he is told. ”
"It's also hard for me to understand why we should stay away from the battlefield at this time." Zhai Yu smiled and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, it can't be that those miscellaneous people in the Western Regions have entered the desert, and the general wants us to return to the desert, right?" ”
Zhao Yun laughed, suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed Zhai Yu more than a dozen times at an unbelievable speed.
Zhai Yu exclaimed, and while using all his strength to resist left and right, he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, don't be joking, I can't do it." ”
As if Zhao Yun hadn't heard it, the spear in his hand roared sharply, piercing Zhai Yu's chest like lightning. Zhai Yu was horrified, roared loudly, his tall body suddenly rose from the horse's back, and at the same time, his right fist smashed into the hilt of the gun, and the war knife in his left hand thundered down, slashing Zhao Yun's spear with a knife.
The spear bounced in the air. Zhai Yu fell off the horse, looked at Zhao Yun angrily and said, "Zilong......
"Good knife...... Zhao Yun shouted, and the spear suddenly stopped in his hand.
Zhai Yu just wanted to take a breath, and suddenly felt a chill coming from his throat, he lowered his head slightly, and saw a cold sharp spear tip against his throat.
"Sister-in-law, do you understand now?" Zhao Yun looked at Zhai Ya, who had a shocked face, and asked with a smile, "Although Zhai Yu's knife is indestructible, the fatal blow is precisely when he thinks he has already won the battle. ”
Zhai Ya understood a little, and asked Zhao Yundao, "Zilong, where are we going now?" ”
"Go to Montenegro." Zhao Yun slowly withdrew his spear, smiled at the angry Zhai Yu, and then said, "It's too hot, I ask my sister-in-law and Da Shan Yu to go to Montenegro to escape the summer and enjoy the coolness." ”
………………
On the battlefield of Qu Yuju, Kuai Yue and Wen Ping commanded the army to attack continuously, and the Jingzhou army was too numerous to resist at all, so it could only retreat to the chasm.
Kuai Yue didn't want the Northern Xinjiang Army to cross the river comfortably, otherwise the next battle would be difficult to fight. He supervised the siege from all directions, and ordered Wen Ping and Gan Ning to personally lead the elite to break through the battle formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army at all costs, tear apart the defense line of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and divide and encircle the Northern Xinjiang Army and annihilate it on the west bank of the chasm.
In the fierce battle, Bian Xi was injured, Zhang Yan was furious, let him command in the center, and he took a team of personal guards to ride, like a tiger out of the cage, roaring all the way, invincible, and directly killed the Chinese army of the Jingzhou army.
At this moment, the army led by Pan Zhang and Li Zhong, under the cover of the officers and men of the Fifth Infantry Corps of the Northern Xinjiang Army, crossed the chasm and suddenly fought out from both flanks of the battlefield.
Zhang Yan was brave, and when the war horse died, he still led his subordinates to fight, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, fought bloodily, swore not to retreat, and rushed the Chinese army of the Jingzhou Army into chaos.
The command of the Jingzhou army was once in chaos, and at this moment, the advance of the two elite soldiers of Pan Zhang and Li Zhong made it even worse, giving the Jingzhou army a heavy blow.
Seeing the reversal of the tide of the battle, Kuai Yue hurriedly ordered Mingjin to retreat, and watched the Northern Frontier Army withdraw across the chasm.
"Zhang Yan is amazing." After the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Kuai Yue said to the generals with trepidation, "I heard that in the middle army of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Zhang Yan is not the top, and there are many fierce generals who are more powerful than him, such as Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Chang Yuchun, Gao Changgong, these people are much more powerful than Zhang Yan. When these people arrived on the battlefield, all of them were stubborn, pioneering, and fearless of death. Today, if we use 100,000 men to fight him, or let him withdraw calmly, you can imagine how many troops will be needed to encircle and annihilate the Northern Frontier Army when we fight a decisive battle? ”
"You can't encircle and annihilate it, at least you can hit it hard." Wen Ping waved his hand angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone is desperate, who is afraid of whom." ”
Gan Ning also agreed with Wenpin's words. He is also a strong martial artist, and he is not afraid of anyone.
After the Jingzhou army reorganized its army a little, it marched eastward along the Chi Road under the command of Kuai Yue and killed Junyi City. Kuai Yue did not divide his troops to attack Kaifeng, but gathered all his forces to prepare to take Junyi first.
The defenders of Junyi City received an order to hold out for two days. Zhang Yan blocked the attack in Quyuju for more than a day, and by the time Kuai Yue led his army to Junyi, it was already two days later. The defenders of the city immediately abandoned the city, and the Jingzhou army took Junyi City without much effort.
Originally, Kuai Yue thought that there was a tragic bloody battle in Junyi City, but who knew that the facts in front of him surprised him. After receiving the news that the Northern Xinjiang Army had abandoned the city and left, he was stunned on horseback.
No, this situation is so abnormal that it is completely unconscionable.
It is understandable that the Northern Xinjiang Army gave up Qu Yuju, the attack launched by the coalition army was very sudden, and Zhang Yan's troops were insufficient, so it was the safest way to retreat to the chasm water by surprise, but Zhang Yan died in Qu Yuju for more than a day, and the Northern Xinjiang Army could have requisitioned reinforcements to defend Junyi.
With the loss of Junyi, the coalition forces can directly attack the flank of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Guandu battlefield, cut off the connection between the Guandu battlefield and the Chenliu battlefield, and trap the Northern Xinjiang army on the southern battlefield in the area of Chenliu and Yongqiu. Now the Northern Xinjiang Army has disregarded the safety of the flanks of the Guandu battlefield and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, and it is really inconceivable that they have given up Junyi so easily.
Liu Pan, Deng Yi, Pang Ji, Wen Ping, Gan Ning, Liu Hu and others stood behind Kuai Yue on the horse, looking at the city gate wide open in the distance, and they were also shocked and uncertain.
"What does the Northern Frontier Army want to do?" Kuai Yue turned his head, looked at the generals and asked with a wry smile, "In just a few days, they have buried all the advantages on the battlefield in the Central Plains, do they want to retreat?" ”
"Is there such a possibility?" Pang Ji kept turning the delicate horsewhip in his hand, and said thoughtfully, "There is a crisis in the grain and grass of the Northern Xinjiang army, and they are eager to fight a decisive battle with us, so they deliberately abandon the city to show weakness, and deliberately give away the advantages in their hands. ”
"It's possible." Gan Ning wiped the sweat from his face, and immediately said, "The strongest force of the Northern Xinjiang Army is their cavalry, and the terrain of the Guandu battlefield is very unsuitable for them to exert the power of the cavalry, so they plan to show weakness to lure the enemy, and then deceive us, and then attract us to the plains to inflict heavy losses." ”
He looked at Kuai Yue, frowned, and said: "I think it is more likely to be a weaker and deceitful defeat, because since the Northern Xinjiang Army dares to fight the Central Plains, it must have accumulated enough grain and grass for them to support until after October." After the autumn harvest in October, Hebei's grain was put into storage, and the shortage of grain and grass in the northern Xinjiang army was immediately alleviated. In other words, the time for the crisis of military grain and grass in Northern Xinjiang should be in September. It is only early August now, and there should be no grain and grass crisis in the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”
Kuai Yue nodded and said approvingly: "Xingba's guess is reasonable. So be it......"
He pointed to Junyi City in front of him, waved the horsewhip in his hand vigorously, and said to the generals: "Let's take Junyi first, and then force Xiaohuangcheng, gather the main force to go south to open the seal, and beat Chen Liu." Let's first surround the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield of Chenliu and see how the Northern Xinjiang Army responds. ”
The generals agreed.
Liu Pan led the army into Junyi. Gan Ning led his army to approach Xiaohuangcheng, sixty miles east of Junyi City, and completely cut off the connection between the Guandu battlefield and the Chenliu battlefield.
Kuai Yue, Deng Yi, Wen Ping, Liu Hu and others led a large army to vent down, and advanced rapidly along the east and west banks of the Langtang Canal, directly attacking the two cities of Chenliu and Kaifeng, which were hundreds of miles away.
The defenders of Kaifeng City saw that the Jingzhou army was slaughtering, and immediately abandoned the city, crossed the Langtang Canal, and withdrew into Chenliu.
………………
When the Jingzhou Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army were engaged, on the battlefield in the south of the Central Plains, Xu Xuan, Zhu Ling, Zhou Cang, Ji Ling, Sun Fu, and Lu Su led an army of 90,000 to attack Xiangyi City from Ningling in Liang State, along the Suishui River River to the north.
At the same time, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Xiahou Shang, and Yang Ping led an army of 30,000 from Yangxia in Chen State, and went north along the east bank of the Langtang Canal, killing Gaoyangting and Yongqiu, and approaching Chen Liucheng.
Xu Xuan and Cao Hong marched hand in hand, one on the left and one on the right, supporting each other, and were extremely careful along the way, lest they be attacked by the Northern Xinjiang cavalry, but to their surprise, they didn't even see the shadow of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry along the way.
Li E, Lu Bu, Lu Wenlong, Yuwen Chengdu and other generals in Northern Xinjiang all retreated without a fight, and led the cavalry to abandon Jiwu, Xiangyi, and Yuancheng in succession, and the speed was extremely fast.
Xu Xuan and Cao Hong were worried about the plan and hesitated.
Xu Chang continued to urge, asking them to speed up the speed and contain the troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Chenliu battlefield, so as not to let Li E, Gao Shun and others support the Guandu battlefield and cause the failure of the counteroffensive.
Xu Xuan and Cao Hong immediately met in Chengkuangcheng, and the two armies merged into one, first conquering Gaoyang, and then taking Yongqiu, which was very smooth.
………………
Yanzhou Chenliu County, Chen Liucheng.
Kuai Yue, Xu Xuan, Cao Hong, Zhu Ling, Sun Fu, Lu Su and other six-way armies gathered under Chen Liucheng, and nearly 200,000 troops surrounded Chen Liutuan from the south, north and west.
At this moment, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Guan Hai, and Wu Dun led about 30,000 foot soldiers to hold the city, and Lu Wenlong and Yuwen Chengdu led 12,000 troops to be stationed on the east bank of the Suishui River to ensure the retreat of the army in the city.
The battle clouds were dense over Chen Liucheng, and a big battle was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
