Chapter 2313: Battle of the Western Regions, Wang Ben VS Yang Su(2/2)
It's really not an advantage.
Meng Bi and Gao Gao fought for 223 rounds and were defeated, and Ruan Wengzhong and Gao Gao were defeated after 252 rounds. Neither of them could defeat Gao Gao in a single fight.
After losing to two people in a row, Gao Gao began to become arrogant and even dared to challenge two people, only to be brutally beaten.
With Meng Bi and Ruan Wengzhong teaming up, Gao Gao only lasted twenty rounds before being defeated. If Wu Yunzhao and Shi Wansui had not been in time, Gao Gao would have almost died at the hands of the two of them.
After a month of confrontation between the two sides, Wang Ben clearly felt that the morale of the Sui army was declining and its combat effectiveness was also declining, so he decisively led a carefully selected 30,000 elite troops to attack, with Meng Bi and Ruan Wengzhong as the vanguard. As a result, the Sui army was defeated in one battle.
, killed more than 8,000 Sui troops.
This was the first defeat for the Sui army after they invaded the Western Regions. Upon hearing the news, the Western Regions Allied Forces' morale soared, their self-confidence soared, and they disagreed with Wang Bi on whether to pursue the attack.
Wang Ben felt that Yang Su's main force was not lost, so he decided not to pursue for the sake of caution. However, the generals of the Western Regions did not obey military orders and pursued without permission. As a result, they fell into Yang Su's ambush plan and lost 20,000 troops. They returned in a disastrous defeat.
This defeat once again wiped out the advantage Wang Ben had gained.
However, after this defeat, no one in the Western Regions generals dared to disobey Wang Ben's orders, and the Western Regions Allied Forces truly unified command.
In the subsequent confrontations, Wang Ben and Yang Su used their own methods and continued to fight. They fought for three consecutive months before the war came to an end.
In the end, the Sui army paid the price of more than half of the regular army's casualties and the entire servant army being annihilated.
In the first year of Shenwu, October 4th.
Yang Su officially returned to Liangzhou from the Western Regions with the remaining troops and the looted wealth.
Under the command of Wang Ben, although the Western Region Allied Forces repelled the Sui Army, it was only a miserable victory.
The Western Region Allied Forces killed a total of 15,000 Sui troops and 20,000 servants, but the total number of casualties among the troops from various countries reached an astonishing 120,000.
Two-thirds of the soldiers died in battle under the command of their own generals in the Western Regions, but three-quarters of the battle results were achieved under the command of Wang Ben.
