Chapter 775: Majestic on the Han River
From early morning to dusk, more than 20,000 people of the Great Western Army suffered heavy casualties, only more than 3,000 people escaped to the other side, and the rest of the Great Western Army was left on the east bank, waiting for them only a dead end!
Pieces of the Great Western Army were divided and surrounded by the soldiers of Luzhou Town, and the soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and the Anlu Ferry had already flowed into a river of blood, and the water of the Han River had been dyed red and dirty!
One by one, the soldiers trembled and faced the cold-looking soldiers of Luzhou Town, and finally couldn't bear the fear of death, and one by one the soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered!
Huang Degong won a big victory!
A complete victory, the casualties of the soldiers of Luzhou Town were only hundreds, but the Great Western Army of more than 20,000 people was wiped out, this battle Huang Degong took advantage of the time and place, if Sun Kewang really crossed the Han River, with Huang Degong's 20,000 troops, it is difficult to resist Sun Kewang's 50,000 army, even if it can keep Chengtianfu, how long can it last?
However, after this battle, it is impossible for Sun Kewang to take Chengtianfu again, and the remaining 30,000 troops, even if they want to cross the Han River, are already difficult, after all, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, plus the soldiers of Luzhou Town are brave and good at fighting, it is really not something that Sun Kewang's 30,000 peasant army can defeat.
On the west bank of the Han River, Sun Kewang's anger jumped like thunder, it was too miserable, more than 20,000 soldiers, only ran back 3,000, and all of them were embarrassed, full of horror, morale dropped directly to the bottom, and 300 ships, only came back but dozens of them, all because of the fire, burned and broken, these 3,000 people were able to drive these broken ships, running back to the west bank is already a blessing!
"Bastard! Damn bastards! Zhang Kexi, Lao Tzu was killed by you! 20,000 troops, 20,000 troops, that's it, it's all reimbursed! Come on, cut Zhang Kexi for me! ”
Sun Kewang roared.
"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!"
Zhang Kexi was shocked, knelt on the ground, and kept begging for mercy, but where would Sun Kewang give him a chance to live? This battle is too embarrassing, you don't need to find a substitute for the dead ghost, otherwise there is no way to explain to the emperor!
Sun Kewang shouted: "Pull it down for me!" ”
The unlucky Zhang Kexi was dragged down by the soldiers, and it didn't take long for his head to be picked up by the soldiers, and the generals around Sun Kewang were silent, and no one dared to touch Sun Kewang's moldy head at this time.
Sun Kewang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send the order to go down, search for the big ships along the Han River, find all the big ships for me, and three days later, three days later, launch another attack on Anlu Ferry!" ”
The vitality of the Great Western Army was greatly damaged, however, the Luzhou Town on the other side was earned, you know, the Great Western Army crossed the Han River is not only 20,000 soldiers, but also a lot of military resources, and even a few artillery, as for the bow and arrow, there are countless bows and arrows, in addition, in one breath captured the Great Western Army to surrender seven or eight thousand people, all of whom were confiscated ordnance, and these can become a supplementary source of troops for Luzhou Town in the future.
However, Huang Degong still did not dare to be careless, after all, there were still 30,000 people in the Great Western Army on the other side, Huang Degong deployed on the spot, placed all the artillery on the riverside, and sent two battalions of cavalry to patrol back and forth on the river bank day and night, vigilant Sun Kewang to launch an attack on the east bank at any time.
Three days, three days later, Sun Kewang, who had collected two hundred large ships again, launched an attack on the east coast again!
This time, almost all the ships were big ships, and even the artillery was all pulled onto the warship, ready to participate in the battle, and one after another the warships were on the river, quickly advancing towards the east bank!
However, how easy is it to get close to the east bank of the Han River quickly?
All the artillery in Luzhou Town is all activated, shooting continuously towards the Han River, the ships found by the Great Western Army are just ordinary civilian ships, they don't want the warship to be as solid, and they are hit by a cannonball in the twenty catties, which is a great thing, if it is not good, it will directly smash the big ship out of a big hole, and it is expected that the warship will sink, on the river bank, a team of archers, ready to fight, once the big ship approaches, it will fire ten thousand arrows to prevent the big ship from continuing to approach!
Sun Kewang launched several attacks in succession, but in the end they all returned in vain, and he couldn't get close to the shore at all, Su Kewang was furious, and there was no way, he couldn't rush over at all! The Han River is an insurmountable moat!
The two sides confronted each other on the Han River for a day, and Sun Kewang could only sigh with admiration, and finally had to obediently withdraw to the west bank and think of a good strategy.
However, Sun Kewang was blocked on the edge of the Han River, but Zhang Xianzhong's army was advancing by leaps and bounds, from Yunyang all the way to Xiangyang City, along the way, the opportunity did not meet any opponents, the momentum was like a bamboo, whether it was Yunyang Mansion or Xiangyang Mansion, there was no large-scale force to block, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were more than 40,000 people, naturally invincible!
In just over ten days, Zhang Xianzhong had already advanced his troops to the vicinity of Xiangyang Mansion and began to prepare for the siege of Xiangyang.
Of course, from the battle situation in Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong took Xiangyang Mansion, the biggest impact is not in the Central Plains, at least in the short term, Zhang Xianzhong has no intention of entering the Central Plains, but in that Xiangyang City is also close to the Han River, and Xiangyang City is taken, which means that Huang Degong relies on the Han River, blocking the Great Western Army has no meaning, Zhang Xianzhong can still wave his troops south, go straight to Wuchang Mansion, and even, Zhang Xianzhong does not need to attack Wuchang Mansion, only need to follow the Han River, down the river, it will not take five or six days, You can come to Chengtianfu from Xiangyang City and form a flanking attack on Huang Degong!
It only took Zhang Xianzhong five days to take Xiangyang Mansion, and as soon as he took Xiangyang Mansion, he received a messenger sent by Sun Kewang!
"What? Sun Kewang encountered a strong resistance from Huang Degong in Chengtian Mansion and suffered heavy casualties? ”
Zhang Xianzhong was shocked and shouted, "How come? Sun Kewang has always been cautious in his use of soldiers, how could he make such a mistake? ”
The messenger said astringently: "Your Majesty, the king of Dingxi sent scouts to listen to the news on the other side, but was deceived by Huang Degong, Huang Degong pretended to go north to aid Xiangyang Mansion, and returned to Anlu Ferry halfway, laid an ambush, and wiped out the advance of the army that crossed the Han River in one fell swoop, and 3,000 people escaped back to the west bank in a few years......"
"Bastard, bastard!"
Zhang Xianzhong scolded angrily, when did this Sun Kewang become so frizzy, and the 20,000 army was wiped out!
"Decree, the army repaired in Xiangyang City for three days, and after three days, 20,000 elites were sent down the Han River to attack Huang Degong!"
