Chapter 682: Conquest (4)
At noon that day, the Yamatai army defending Changgang suddenly appeared a group of cavalry to break through the obstruction of the Wei army outside the city and rushed straight over.
A troop of about 3,000 light cavalry flew to the city gates, and the leading officer shouted in pure Fusang language: "Let's go to the king's front cavalry, open the city gate quickly!" ”
Although the city gate official was overjoyed, he did not forget his duty, he carefully looked at the city twice, and now the officer who spoke just now happened to be known to him, and he couldn't help but rejoice: "Knee Zhuojun, it's you!" Wait a minute, and I'll order the gates to be opened!" As soon as he spoke, the gate officer turned his head behind him to eat and drink, and then the gate was opened.
Then there was a scene of all the soldiers of the Yamatai army in shock, and the three thousand cavalry outside the city suddenly changed their momentum, shouted violently, and roared in like a storm.
Without waiting for the Yamatai army to react, the war drums of the Wei army outside the city suddenly rang out. Immediately, nearly 10,000 Wei soldiers rushed towards the city gate under the leadership of a general.
"Close the gates! Close the gates! The city gate officer who should come over shouted urgently. However, at this time, where can the Evil Horse Taiwan Army close the city gate.
The 3,000 cavalry that rushed into the city immediately divided into two parts, one part held the city gate under the city gate, and the other part went straight to the Yamatai military office in the city.
Almost at the same time, the camp of the Yamatai army in the city suddenly burst into flames, and then the sound of fighting was loud, as if someone had raided the camp of the Yamatai army.
Actually, this is not surprising. In the past few days, the Jinyi Guard troops who arrived here with Zhou Tai had already infiltrated the city last night and waited for an opportunity.
Time. The Yamatai army in the city thought that there were Wei troops everywhere, and the army's morale was in chaos. However, the Yamatai army did not collapse, and still fought back under the command of the officers of various departments.
However, as Zhou Tai led 10,000 foot soldiers into the city, the overall front of the Yamatai army began to waver.
More than 10,000 Wei troops rode on foot to level the Evil Horse Tai army at the city gate, and then advanced to the city, and met the 20,000 Evil Horse Tai troops who hurried in the middle of the street.
Tens of thousands of troops on both sides fought bloody battles on the narrow streets, and the Yamatai army may have felt that there was no way to retreat, showing extremely crazy combat effectiveness, and the Wei army withstood the wave after wave of attacks of the Yamatai army, stepping on muddy blood and corpses to move forward firmly. Without pushing any further, he let out a loud shout, and his momentum became more and more vigorous.
The two sides fought a bloody battle in the middle of the street for nearly an hour, and the Yamatai army was finally defeated and the whole army collapsed.
At the same time, more than 1,000 cavalry who had broken into the city in advance raided the Yamatai army's administrative office, and the defender Naoe was captured.
After the main force led by Zhou Tai broke through the enemy's interception. Immediately divided the troops into two routes, and killed the two camps of the Yamatai army in the city, and there are currently nearly 10,000 Yamatai troops in each of these two camps.
When they rushed outside the camp, they saw that the Yamatai army in the camp was rushing out frantically. However, they were never able to break through the thin but unusually strong front.
This front is composed of hundreds of people in black brocade, all of whom have excellent physique and are extremely powerful. In such a tragic battlefield, their eyes were unexpectedly calm.
They are none other than a sharp-bladed brocade guard under Cao Cao!
In front of their front lay nearly a thousand corpses. Most of them are from Yamatai, but they are also mixed with brocade guards. The main force that arrived immediately launched a counterattack against the Yamatai army that tried to break out of the camp, and after a bloody battle, the Yamatai army was routed, and the remnants laid down their arms and surrendered.
After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the strategic stronghold of the Yamatai people fell into the hands of the Wei army, in this battle, the Wei army that launched the attack was actually only more than 13,000 people, while the Yamatai army guarding Changgang had nearly 50,000 people, the 50,000 people of the Yamatai army were basically wiped out, of which nearly 20,000 were killed, and the rest of the base was captured, and the number of dead and wounded of the Wei army was only more than 5,000, of which nearly 3,000 were killed.
Changgang City was captured, and the 800,000 loads of grain hoarded by the Yamatai army in Changgang fell into the hands of the Wei army, in addition, there were dozens of catapults that the Yamatai army had previously captured from the dog slaves, and the reason why the Yamatai people did not use this powerful weapon in their eyes in this offensive and defensive battle that was related to the overall situation was also funny, because they had not yet figured out how to use this weapon!
The Wei army not only captured a large amount of supplies, but also accepted 50,000 dog slave captives, which was definitely a lot of wealth for the Great Wei.
After Zhou Tai captured Changgang, he immediately went to Chang'an and Xiahou Yuan to pass on the book.
Qianqing Palace in Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, is there anything urgent about calling us over in such a hurry?" Xun Yu, who hurried to the Qianqing Palace, asked with some concern, and Chen Gong and Xun Yu on the side also had the same expression.
Cao Cao raised the flying pigeon biography that Zhou Tai had just received, and said with a smile: "Good news! Yesterday, Miaocai almost wiped out the main force of Beiya Saichiro on the banks of the Shinano River, and then Zhou Tai used less than 15,000 troops to capture Changgang Castle, which was defended by 50,000 Yamatai troops! ”
The three of them couldn't help but light up their eyes, and Xun Yu asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, is this true?!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "Of course it's true!" In this way, the balance of power between the Yamatai army and our army in Fuso has been reversed! With our current strength in Fuso, it will be enough to defeat the remnants of Kiyazoichiro! ”
Cao Cao said with some excitement.
"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! However, the Evil Horse Taiwan Army plus the current strength entrenched in the Beihai is still 60,000 or 70,000 people, if it is temporarily recruited, it will still be able to raise 150,000 or 60,000 horses in a short period of time. It seems that the strength of our army in Fuso is slightly insufficient! Xun You analyzed.
Cao Cao nodded and asked, "Gongda means that the plan of the Seventh Legion to go to the Dwarf Country remains unchanged?" ”
"Exactly! The so-called lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and we can't be careless under any circumstances! ”
Cao Cao didn't fully agree with Xun You's point of view, but Xun You's suggestion was very much in line with his own style, more than cautious, but not enough opportunity!
Cao Cao thought for a moment, "It's better to be like this!" Transfer 50,000 soldiers of the Seventh Army to Fuso! At the same time, Qingzhou was ordered to draw reserves to supplement the Second Army! ”
The three of them exchanged opinions in a low voice, and said together: "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Cao Cao smiled, immediately called the herald, and gave an order as previously discussed.
However, before the herald had left the Qianqing Palace, another herald rushed in.
"Your Majesty, the Western Regions Emergency Military Situation!" The herald knelt down with a copy of the herald. (To be continued.) )
