Chapter 1427 Counterattack before forcing death
The relationship between the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people has never been very good.
In fact, both the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people were from Donghu, like two brothers in a big family, but after the Xianbei guy started shaking, not only did he not take care of his own brothers, nor did he think about pulling brothers To achieve the state of great harmony of common prosperity, but from time to time they will come out to show off, or even intentionally bully.
How can the Wuhuan people bear this?
Gritting his teeth and enduring.
If you can''t beat it, you can only endure it.
The rules on the grasslands and deserts are like this, the weak eat the strong, and there is no warmth at all. Not to mention brothers like Wuhuan and Xianbei, even their own brothers drank face to face, stabbed in the back, and did everything they could. The reason is largely because Confucianism is not respected in the grasslands and deserts, so the so-called moral standards such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and brotherhood do not exist at all, and they naturally act as they please.
Therefore, when they had the opportunity to stomp on Xianbei, the Wuhuan people were too excited to be themselves. If it wasn''t for Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin who tried their best to restrain them, and the Chinese army''s Zhengxi troops didn''t join the battlefield head-on, they wouldn''t be able to protect themselves. Guess these guys who were dazed by blood will be the first to rush up and start a war with Xianbei.
As for the Huns on the side, Tuguilai saw this, although he was reluctant to get involved in such a battle easily, but if he could follow behind Zhengxi''s troops and pick up some bargains, Tuguilai would not refuse, anyway, according to According to the previous agreement, the Huns can own half of the trophies. In this way, it may be good to have a game...
Zhao Yun''s left and right wings unknowingly radiated a lot of murderous aura.
Murderous aura seems mysterious, but it is also very simple. Just like ordinary animals can detect danger, humans also have a so-called sixth sense, but sometimes it is bright and sometimes it is dull.
The war is about to break out.
Facing such a situation, the Xianbei people under Fu Luohan couldn''t help feeling a little flustered. Even the war horse seemed to feel something, restless and restless, snorting and shaking its neck from time to time.
"Do you want to fight?"
Fu Luohan had this question in his mind, but Fu Luohan didn''t realize that when he was asking this question in his mind, he actually already had the answer.
"Bald-haired orphan, this is something you provoked, you solve it yourself!" Fu Luohan threw the bald-haired orphan coldly. After all, Fu Luohan was timid. Of course, on the surface he felt that he was a bit wronged. After all, he was the one who provoked this matter first, but Fu Luohan knew that right and wrong were not so important in the grassland and desert, and even Even face is not that important...
Strength is.
Fu Luohan is like a wolf, and when a wolf faces a powerful opponent, he will not rush forward recklessly, so he threw out the bald-haired solitary, on the one hand to ease the atmosphere, and on the other hand You can come to test the reaction of Zhao Yun and others.
Liu He was obviously relieved.
Liu He may be generally qualified as a politician, but he is far inferior to Zhao Yun in military affairs. Therefore, when he found that Fu Luohan did not directly choose to fight, he put some new ideas in, thinking that this was a It''s a good sign, after all, if he really turned against Fu Luohan here, regardless of whether he can win or not, at least his own hope of being the governor of Youzhou may be shattered, but what he didn''t expect was that Zhao Yun was still relentless The bald-haired man was arrested again, and executed twenty lashes in public!
Just when Liu He was worried that Fu Luohan would get angry in public and sent his troops to attack, he was shocked to find that Fu Luohan not only endured it, but also retreated silently...
"This…"
Liu He couldn''t understand it at all. After all, even his father didn''t fully understand the thinking mode of Hu people, let alone him.
Is this how the Xianbei people recognize it?
Although Liu He didn''t quite understand Fu Luohan''s thinking, he was quite satisfied with the result of not being able to fight after all.
For the Wuhuan people, although one or two hundred people died, they also regained some face, and with a big man like Tuoba Liwei buried with them, it is more or less passable.
For the Huns, although there was no loss in running around, they naturally did not dare to complain when they saw the current combat power of Zhengxi troops.
As for Xianbei, stealing the chicken failed and cost a lot of rice, but in terms of specific losses, it is probably just a handful of rice for Fu Luohan, and there are other more important things...
Fu Luohan left a few people behind, and took away the bald-haired Pigu and the Tuoba disabled soldiers who had been punished. They didn''t dare to be embarrassed at all, and they all walked away with their tails between their legs. Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yun Not only did he not show his face, but he was a little more worried.
"It''s troublesome now..." Zhao Yun said to Liu He with some seriousness after helping Luo Han and other Xianbei people retreat, "About this matter, a certain meeting will write a letter to General Zhengxi to plead guilty... This trip to Youbei is probably a Trouble..."
"General Zhao...this is..." Liu He was still a little confused.
"Shijun Liu, if you have time, you might as well look at the wolves on the grassland..." Zhao Yun raised his spear and pointed it in the direction Fu Luohan retreated, "Fu Luohan is such a wolf... If you want to live in Youzhou, but you have to be more careful..."
In Liu He''s heart, he urgently wanted to march into Youbei, but Zhao Yun did not have this item in the order to conquer the west. He was just a partial army, and it was enough to delay General Yuan Shao''s northern troops. As for Hefu Luohan The rebellion of this group of Xianbei people actually seems accidental, but it is actually inevitable.
The Xianbei people are fundamentally different from the Wuhuan people and the Huns. They are used to being leaders in the grasslands and deserts, so how can they be willing to submit to others? Even if it is a temporary covenant, it is actually compared according to strength. If Zhao Yun is a little cowardly, Fu Luohan will pounce on him like a wolf!
On the contrary, it was Zhao Yun''s powerful performance that frightened Fu Luohan for a while, making Fu Luohan subconsciously choose to retreat, and then observe...
The covenant is always based on the supremacy of strength.
In the current situation, Zhao Yun feels that it should not be a big problem to continue to complete the original plan of Zhengxi, but if he wants to help Liu He enter Youzhou again, it may not be so easy until the problem of Xianbei people is not completely resolved , That''s why Zhao Yun apologized to Liu He.
"Come on! Send scouts a hundred miles away! Spread multiple banners, claiming to have 50,000 troops, and march into northern Hebei!" Zhao Yun ordered. First complete the strategic deployment of General Fei Qian who conquered the west. As for other people, Zhao Yun can only say sorry. Originally, Zhao Yun hated the Xianbei people extremely, but this time if it was not for the benefit of General Zhengxi''s plan, Zhao Yun would not have pretended to be with the Xianbei people at all.
After all, in front of Tuoba Liwei, who has ruined his own family, if Zhao Yun is given another chance to choose, Zhao Yun will still choose this way.
Zhao Yun came to the Jingguan where the heads of the Xianbei people were piled up, put the dry grass ring in his hand in front of the Jingguan, then stood up, turned on his horse and rode away, the cloak fluttering up and down behind him, his back seemed to look a little lighter...
However, Zhao Yun did not expect that his choice would not be as he expected in the end, and he would be able to successfully complete the northern line plan to conquer the west...
Plans can never keep up with changes, and this is the same for Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao has been very irritable for the past two days.
The news of the collapse of the entire southern line reached here, and what made Yuan Shao even more angry was that Chunyu Qiong was damaged just like that!
Although Chun Yuqiong is not a unparalleled warrior, he has been regarded as a veteran general in Yuan Shao''s army for so many years, possessing a certain prestige...
More importantly, the death of Chunyu Qiong meant that from then on, apart from one high-ranking official, there would be no second general of Yuan Shao''s lineage! Especially when it comes to taking charge of logistics, Chunyu Qiong is the only general who can make Yuan Shao feel at ease, and now...
Chunyuqiong''s death was so sudden that Yuan Shao was unable to make effective adjustments and arrangements immediately. He could only order the high-ranking officials to rush to Yecheng quickly, and be responsible for gathering soldiers, coordinating supplies, replenishing follow-up food and grass, and controlling the rear It is the responsibility of the soldiers, and I am leading the soldiers to meet Yan Liang in the direction of Shangdang Huguan.
Damn Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West!
Yuan Shao hated a person like this before, hated this unknown person who was originally in Luoyang, hated this guy who used to look down on him from the corner of his eyes!
Actually forced the majestic Yuan''s son to such a degree!
Damn, damn!
However, Yuan Shao is actually a stubborn person in his heart.
Think about it too, if you have a character that goes with the flow, it is naturally impossible to have too much ambition. Throughout the ages in history, I really haven''t seen a few personalities who are happy with the situation and can achieve great things.
Under such a situation, Yuan Shao not only did not have the idea of ??retreating because of the collapse of the southern line, but stepped up his attack on Danghuguan on the central line.
"The general has an order! Today we must conquer the stronghold! If the soldiers retreat, the leader of the army will kill him! The leader of the army will retreat, and the leader of the team will kill him! , the school lieutenant beheaded! If the school lieutenant retreats, the general will personally kill him!"
The soldiers in charge of the formation roared at the top of their lungs, brandished their **** sabers, and fell down the corpses of several retreated soldiers, urging them to charge towards the stronghold!
Yuan Shao''s soldiers rushed under the fortified wall of the stronghold against the arrow rain from Zhengxi, some of them stood still more than ten steps away from the fortified wall, raised their faces, and counterattacked with bows and arrows, while some rushed directly to the fortified wall , erected the ladder with all hands and feet, and Yuan Bing of the second column behind him jumped onto the ladder with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other before the ladder was stabilized, and quickly climbed up.
The effect of General Yuan Shao personally visiting the front line to supervise the formation is indeed very effective.
Regardless of whether Yuan Shao''s soldiers counterattacked with bows and arrows, or stepped on the ladder to attack, they are always in a weak position, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the expansion area is not large, which means that there are not many troops in the back line. , but these Yuan Jun didn''t mean to be timid at all, and moved forward without risking their lives. From time to time, Yuan Bing fell down screaming, but there were still other Yuan Bing coming up!
Under the shooting of General Zhengxi''s soldiers, the uncovered Yuan Jun archers kept falling to the ground, but those who gave the order to die had no way to retreat, so they had to grit their teeth and stand in the arrow rain, trying their best to fight back.
Yuan Bing, who climbed the mountain stronghold, was even more tragic. In just a few breaths, he was hit by stones and wood one after another, screaming and fell down the ladder, and fell to the pile of charred corpses at the foot of the stronghold. among…
These charred corpses are the remains of Yuan Jun from the previous waves. The skins of many corpses have been completely scorched, adhering to the well-cooked muscles. Some of the fallen Yuan Jun broke through the scorched skins of the corpses. Huge blisters instantly formed on his face, screamed and stumbled while covering his head and face, before he was knocked to the ground by Yuan Jun who rushed up after him, and was immediately trampled in the blood mud...
Yuan Jun''s madness put great pressure on Fei Qian and Jia Qu.
Since Yuan Shao personally commanded the army and launched a crazy attack regardless of losses, Fei Qian and Jia Qu have successively abandoned two or three temporary cottages along the way and retreated to this semi-permanent cottage that was built earlier. Inside, with the help of relatively strong earth and stone walls, it resisted Yuan Jun''s attack.
However, Yuan Shao''s extremely ferocious attack this time did hit Fei Qian''s weak link, which is the small number of soldiers overall. If you only look at the battle loss ratio, Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, naturally has an absolute advantage, but the absolute number of soldiers lost, after so many days, is gradually approaching the bottom line that Fei Qian can bear.
After all, people are not machines, and even machines need refueling and water, not to mention that in the environment of high-intensity cold weapon combat, both physical strength and mental strength are consumed very quickly. In the future, the rest time between rotations will become shorter and shorter, and the number of rotations will become more and more frequent...
This is not a good sign!
Now the soldiers of Zhengxi can no longer attack Yuan Jun who is constantly pouring in. Even the archers and crossbowmen on the wall of the cottage also have a lot of air shots caused by lack of strength. At the same time, the archers and crossbowmen The hand is also under Yuan Jun''s crazy counterattack, and gradually there are casualties. As a result, the power of long-range strikes continues to decline, which brings about the continuous increase in the pressure faced by the soldiers in charge of close combat.
The soldiers who conquered the west at the forefront, either holding shields and knives, or holding spears, slashed at any ladder that came up on the frame, trying their best to prevent Yuan Jun from climbing the wall of the village, but after all, the village is not a real one. The height and width of Erbajing''s city walls are a little inferior. If it weren''t for the difficult mountain roads and difficult expansion, Fei Qian and Jia Qu would have been unable to bear such a sharp battle of attrition.
Soldiers from both sides fought cruelly up and down the stronghold. From time to time, some people were shot by arrows, stabbed by spears, cut by knives, screamed, fell off the ladder, or fell to the ground. The corpses lay here, and the blood pooled, even the ground could not absorb it, forming pools of blood.
Fei Qian wanted to continue to delay the resistance so that Yuan Shao''s soldiers would suffer more casualties, but the current situation really gave Fei Qian a headache.
When Yuan Shao encountered difficulties, even Fei Qian was a little afraid of his explosive ability...
In the situation where the information in the Han Dynasty was not smooth at all, it was impossible for Fei Qian to get the news about the remote battlefield immediately, and it was impossible to judge the specific direction of the battlefield. He just felt the endless pressure brought by Yuan Shao''s army in the middle.
Is the previous calculation wrong?
Could it be that both Tai Shici and Zhao Yun failed?
The North-South strategy did not achieve the expected results?
If you continue to retreat, it means you can only hold on to Huguan, and Huguan is the last line of defense. If Huguan can''t hold on anymore...
What should I do now?
Many questions hovered in Fei Qian''s mind, but the continuous struggle and death in the village kept urging Fei Qian to make a decision as soon as possible...
