Chapter 996 - Drawing a Snake
The siege of Huseki Castle finally began at the end of May. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, as early as the beginning of May, Liu Yin had already led the army to cross the Hanshan fortress and stationed in Tunliu, threatening the safety of Huguan from the southwest.
However, after Liu Yin arrived in Tunliu, he did not rush to march, but set up several company camps outside Tunliu City and did not move.
Zhang Le couldn't hold it back, and urgently asked Liu Yin for his life, willing to lead the Wudang Flying Army as the vanguard and take the lead in attacking Huguan City, and Zhang Le swore that if he did not take Huguan, he would be willing to be punished by military law.
But Liu Yin seemed to have another plan, and categorically rejected Zhang Le's invitation to fight, ordering him to wait for news after returning to the camp, and not to act without permission until the order was issued.
Zhang Le was very puzzled, and said to Liu Yin: "Big brother, the battle has been fought to this extent, what are you waiting for?" Taking advantage of the fact that the morale of our army is booming, it is a good time to take down Wenyang in one go, you wait like this, don't you wait until the daylilies are cold? ”
Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "Second brother, don't be impatient, I have my own arrangements, but don't worry, this time Wenyang is already a turtle in the urn, and it is expected that he will not be able to escape this time." ”
Zhang Le couldn't ask anything, he could only retreat in a huff, Liu Yin rarely gave such a promise directly, if he dared to say so today, he must be confident, Zhang Le had no other way but to go back to the camp and wait.
Seeing Zhang Le leave, Fu Yan smiled and said: "Ziyue is anxious, some can't hold back, Wenxuan, you don't move, are you waiting for Luo to attack?" ”
Luo Xi had already received an order from Liu Yin to lead the Yongan Army and Jinyang's city defense army of 5,000 people from Jinyang to the south and join forces led by Liu Yin to encircle the Shangdang.
This order was issued after the end of the Battle of Gaoliangyi, when the main force of the Shu army had already marched on Shangdang, and by that time Luo had swept through the cities of Jinzhong and cleared the remnants of the Jin army near Jinyang.
Take the regular army to deal with some of the city defense soldiers of the Jin State, Luo Raid has a feeling of killing chickens with a knife, and successively took Yangyi, Qi County, Zhongdu, and Jingling, Luo Raid not only has a feeling of exhaustion, but is a little unfinished, the Jin army only has some scattered troops in the cities of Jinzhong, which is less than half of the Jinyang garrison, and even the Jinyang garrison was killed by Luo Raid in seconds, and the rest of these defenders, Luo Raid is like chopping melons and vegetables, and they are easily eliminated.
At this time, Luo Xi received Liu Yin's order, to him to lead the army to the south immediately, besiege Shangdang, Luo Xi heard the news, immediately was in good spirits, because this battle also needs to mobilize Jinyang City Defense Army 5,000 people, Luo Xite and Taiyuan Taishou Du Ji to discuss.
Of course, Du Ji readily agreed, this is the order of the hussar general, who dares to disobey? What's more, the Jin army forces in the area of Taiyuan County have been cleared, and the transfer of 5,000 city defense troops will not cause any major difficulties to the defense of Jinyang.
However, the quality of the city defense army and the regular field army can not be compared, just assembling and preparing, the city defense soldiers spent a lot of time, the Yongan army over there has long been ready to stop, but the city defense army is dragging its feet, which makes Luo Zhengzhi a headache.
Although Luo Xi couldn't understand why Liu Yin ordered the mobilization of 5,000 city defense troops to Shangdang, could it be that the Yong'an Army alone and the other four armies couldn't deal with the Shangdang defending the enemy? The news of Gaoliangyi's victory Luo Raid is naturally known, Wen Yang's department has basically been disabled, and now the strength of the Shu army has formed a crushing trend, why Liu Yin insisted on transferring 5,000 city defense troops to Shangdang, so that Luo Raid is deeply inexplicable.
But an order is an order, and although Luo Xi is more confused, he must also carry it out unconditionally. It took twice as long for the city defense army to be assembled as the Yongan army.
Luo Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, led the army to leave Jinyang, and looked southeast.
In terms of marching speed, the city defense army cannot be compared with the field army, and the city defense army does not have speed as a training subject when training, because the city defense army does not need to go out of the city to fight at all, as long as they can defend the city, their task is completed.
Compared with the field troops, which were neat and well-trained, the city defense army was obviously a big step behind, and because of their slower marching speed, it seriously slowed down the speed of the Yongan army.
If it weren't for the drag of the city defense army, Luo's Yong'an army would have been able to enter Shangdang County by this time, but now it has only arrived at the foot of Ji'er Mountain, and there is still a distance from Huguan.
Luo Raid is really helpless, the speed of the march is not something that can be trained overnight, the Yong'an Army has been in the army for many years, and has fought in many places, whether it is tactical literacy or basic quality, it is much more elite than the city defense army, marching every day, when the Yongan Army is in good spirits, the city defense army is already tired and out of breath, Luo Raid has no choice, it can only reduce the distance of the daily march, reduce the intensity of the march, so that the two different subordinate armies of the Shu army can basically keep the same pace.
After crossing the Erer Mountain, passing through Niexian and Xiangyuan, Luo Xi led the army to finally reach the north of Huguan, and formed an encirclement with the main force of the Shu army in the west.
When passing through Nexian and Xiangyuan, Luo Xi thought that he would experience a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the Yong'an army did not encounter any resistance at all, and easily took these two cities, which made Luo Xi feel deeply inexplicable. After arriving to the north of Huguan, Luo Xi finally saw traces of the Jin army's movements, and he did not do it immediately but camped in place and asked Liu Yin for instructions on when to attack.
"Wenxuan, the Yong'an army has reached the north of Huguan, and our two armies have formed a joint encirclement of Shangdang, and all the generals are a little impatient, and they are all asking when to attack Huguan?" Fu Yan received the documents first and immediately handed them over to Liu Yin.
Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, pass the order, and start attacking Huguan early tomorrow morning." ”
Fu Yan said: "Now Ziyue and they can be regarded as hopeful." Wen Xuan, but it's very strange, why do you want to transfer 5,000 city defense troops to assist in the battle, is it possible that now we don't have an absolute advantage over Wenyang, and we need the city defense army to help in the war? ”
In fact, the main force of the Shu army is already far superior to the Jin army of Wenyang in terms of quantity, Liu Yin has no need to transfer the city defense army over, if it is not for the city defense army dragging down the speed of the Yongan army, maybe the Yongan army can also arrive a few days earlier, and the general attack of the Shu army can be launched a few days in the morning, and now it is because the city defense army is marching slowly, and it has been delayed for several days.
