Chapter 438: Breaking the Siege of Gold
Now that it has reached gold, the first battle in Hanzhong will naturally be fought in gold. Liu Yin rushed to Xingshi Mountain with the left battalion of the tiger and the right battalion of the tiger step and the right battalion of the new formation, while the tiger cavalry battalion and the logistics baggage troops were still at least two or three days away.
The Tiger Cavalry Battalion was usually the vanguard of the Shu army, but this time it fell behind very sharply, and the rugged mountainous terrain made the Tiger Cavalry Battalion completely lose its ability to move quickly, and instead fell behind the light infantry.
Liu Yin did not seem to wait for the Tiger Cavalry Battalion to arrive before launching an attack, according to the results of the scout's report, the Wei army only had 2,000 troops in the territory led by the partial general Zhang Yue in the Golden Siege, and more than 10,000 troops from the three battalions of the Shu army arrived in advance, and it was a piece of cake to eat this Wei army.
For Liu Yin, there is almost no suspense in fighting such a battle, what he is thinking about is how to make dumplings for these two thousand Wei troops and serve them in one pot, winning the battle is not a skill, if the ability is high, it should not let a Wei soldier slip through the net.
Due to the desolation and remoteness of Xingshi Mountain, there was almost no human population, and when the Shu army arrived, it did not attract the attention of Wei general Zhang Yue, Liu Yin immediately deployed, ordering Gao Yuan to lead the left battalion of Hubu to block the road east of Gold, and Fu Zhao to lead the right battalion of Hubu to block the road west of Gold, and Lu Xun to lead a new battalion to directly attack the Wei army besieging the Golden City.
Liu Yin's arrangement is to deliberately test the combat ability of the new battalion, less than half a month before the establishment of the new battalion, except for the march in the Meridian Valley, the new battalion has not participated in any battles, Liu Yin chose to besiege the Wei army of gold, quite a bit of training. Anyway, even if the newly formed battalion can't take this Wei army, the left and right battalions of Hubu, which are already stuck on the east and west retreats, will not give the Wei army a chance to escape, and this battle is a war of annihilation.
Lu Xun seemed very excited, knowing that he had been fighting guerrilla warfare in Hanzhong for two years. It was almost chased and beaten by the Wei army, and the occasional counterattack was also taken advantage of its unpreparedness, and it was just a handful of it and left, not to mention a war of annihilation, and it didn't even have the strength to confront it head-on. It is no wonder that Lu Xun has only 1,800 men in his hands. This is all his family background, and if he fights out, he will have no more, so he can only adopt a roundabout guerrilla strategy to avoid the enemy's edge.
And today he doesn't have to avoid the enemy's edge anymore, he has 5,000 troops now, he can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, it's time to let these Wei people taste our edge.
Lu Xun was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the army to rush up and have a decisive battle with the Wei army, but Liu Yin smiled slightly and persuaded him not to be anxious. After the left battalion of Hubu and the right battalion of Hubu are completely encircled, he will not act until the left battalion of Hubu and the right battalion of Hubu are completely encircled, so that not a single fish of the 2,000 Wei army will slip through the net.
Lu Xun naturally obeyed the order, and when Gao Yuan and Fu Zhao sent a message, he immediately led his army to rush down from Xingshi Mountain. Naturally, the vanguard of the attack was Lu Xun's old subordinates, the Hanzhong guerrilla department, who were not only familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong, but also fought for many years. Let them develop a tenacious character, give orders. Like a tiger out of the forest, he rushed towards the Wei army camp at the bottom of the mountain.
Although most of the new battalion are recruits, most of them are from Sergeant Guan's private army, which is not inferior in terms of combat effectiveness, and some of them are from the Wei army, which are the strong men carefully selected by Liu Yin. For the soldiers at the bottom. It's not a big problem who you work for, as long as you have food and pay, it's worth it.
Although the formation of the new battalion was somewhat scattered and the battle formation had not yet been formed, it was under the leadership of Lu Xun. But the fighting spirit was high, the morale was high, and the attack on the Wei army was swift and powerful.
As with the Second City of Hanle, the Wei army adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking the Golden City when the initial attack was not overcome, hoping to rely on a long-term siege to force the defenders to surrender because of the lack of food. Now that the siege has been more than a year and a half, Wei General Zhang Yue is full of confidence, he thinks that the defenders of gold will not last long, their food reserves and willpower have reached the limit, as long as they continue to besiege like iron buckets, surrender is a matter of time.
Just as Zhang Yue was usual, he climbed high and looked at the Golden City, looking at whether there were any signs of people's hearts floating in the Golden City. However, the result still disappointed him, the battle flag in the Golden City was flying high, and there was no chaos due to food shortage. However, Zhang Yue seems to be very patient, and he has waited for more days, and he doesn't care at all if there are a few more days.
"What an old stubborn!" Zhang Yue cursed in a low voice, and said a few words to persuade him to surrender in the past two years, but the old guy Liu Yin was unmoved. Zhang Yue was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing, Zhang Yue looked back, only to see that countless people and horses suddenly rushed out from the direction of Daxingshi Mountain, the momentum was huge, he couldn't help but be shocked, although he knew very well that there were guerrilla troops of the Shu army in the Hanzhong area, but those guys were not much different from mice, they loved to do some things like to steal chickens and touch dogs, and they didn't have the courage to confront each other head-on.
But the size of the enemy army in front of him does not know how much larger than the guerrilla troops of the Shu army, and it is stronger than the army under his command, Zhang Yue panicked for a while, and now the Wei army's layout is all spearhead facing inward, just to prevent the breakthrough of the golden defenders, at this time the Shu army launched a surprise attack from the periphery, which is equivalent to a knife stabbed in the soft underbelly of the Wei army, giving Zhang Yue a surprise.
Lu Xun rode a fast horse, holding a spear, like a whirlwind rushed into the Wei army's position, some Wei soldiers pounced on him to try to intercept him, but Lu Xun was knocked to the ground by a few shots, Lu Xun galloped back and forth in the Wei army's formation, as if entering a no-man's land.
Lu Xun actually aimed at Zhang Yue, who was still anxious left and right in the formation, and with a whip of his horse, he directly rushed at Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue was in shock, and when he was about to turn around and flee, he was caught up by Lu Xun and stabbed to the ground with a shot.
As soon as Zhang Yue died, the Wei army was even more chaotic, and the Shu army took advantage of the situation to attack, killing the Wei army to lose their armor and flee in embarrassment.
Liu Yin, who was watching the battle from the top of the city, also saw it, but he was puzzled, not knowing if there was a fraud, after all, it was too unusual to fight a team of men and horses in the north.
Liu Yin's eldest son's name is Liu Chong, his eyes are very sharp, and he saw the Han army flag from a distance at a glance, and said in surprise: "Father, it's our Han people, look at the leader of the army, isn't it the guerrilla captain Lu Xun?" ”
Liu Yin fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Xun, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to open the city gate, led the troops to rush and kill, and joined Lu Xun to quickly annihilate the Wei army besieging gold on the spot, and the siege of gold was solved! (To be continued.) )
