Chapter 209 Battle of Hedong (3)(2/2)
Sima Yi helplessly shook his head and said: "Although what Zhong Ruo said is reasonable." He paused before saying: "It's just that this time the Shu army reached Jinzhong, the emperor personally marched against the enemy, and the Wei army The main force is all in my hands..."
Sima Yi also had some difficulties.
"If I refuse the edict and disobey it..." Sima Yi sighed and said, "If the emperor encounters something unexpected in Jinyang... Even if Yi is killed, he will still be responsible..."
Sima Yi's worries are not unreasonable.
Cao Rui Yujia personally conquered Jinyang, and Emperor Liu Chan of the Shu Kingdom also arrived in Jinyang. According to Tanma's news, Zhuge Liang, who had previously conquered the Tang Dynasty in the west, has also led his army to return for reinforcements and will arrive in Guanzhong in the near future.
If Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Chan was going to fight Cao Rui in Jinyang, Sima Yi would not have to think about it. Zhuge Liang would definitely send troops to Jinyang to fight with Liu Chan.
If Zhuge Liang leads the army to Jinyang, Cao Rui will be defeated.
What's more, Wuguan is still strong and it will take some time to break through.
Sima Yi said helplessly: "Instruct the three armies to leave 10,000 troops and horses to continue pretending to attack Wuguan. The rest will follow me to help Jinyang."
Wen Qin wanted to speak again, but Sima Yi had to swallow the words that were already on his lips.
But Sima Yi said calmly: "The emperor's safety is greater than the heaven."
"No!"
Wen Qin nodded slightly and agreed.
That night, Sima Yi led the main force of the Wei army to quietly withdraw from Wuguan, leaving only 10,000 people behind, led by Zhang Qian, who continued to pretend to attack Wuguan every day.
But——
As the saying goes, water far away cannot quench thirst nearby.
Sima Yi withdrew from Wuguan and rushed to Jinzhong in a hurry, but the journey was relatively far. He could not compare with Xu Shu who came straight from Guanzhong to Hedong.
Xu Shu mobilized an army of 40,000, divided into two groups, and attacked Hedong County from Tongguan and Pubanjin. Xu Shu personally led an army of 20,000 to Pubanjin and took the lead in advancing into Hedong County.
There are actually not many troops stationed in Hedong County. Except for the 10,000 Wei troops in Anyi City, the other cities are only guarded by 3,000 or 2,000 county soldiers. Not to mention Xu Shu's 20,000 troops, even Zhao Tong's 10,000 cavalry were closed. Close your home and dare not go out of the city to fight.
Xu Shu was naturally a little impatient, so he didn't bother to pay attention to these county towns, but went straight to Anyi City to kill them.
That is to say, when Cao Rui arrived at Shangdang County, Xu Shu led the army to Anyi City. At this time, a fierce battle was going on in Yuan County to the east of Anyi City.
Cao Shuang led 20,000 elite troops to rescue Hedong County.
But the Yuan County in front of him was already occupied by the Han army.
"Xiahouba!" Cao Shuang said seriously: "I will give you one day to conquer this Yuanxian county."
Xiahou Ba naturally obeyed the order, originally thinking that it was just a small county town, how could it block the elites of the Wei Dynasty?
But——
Xiahou Ba led eight thousand Wei soldiers to attack Yuan County for a whole day and night. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the small Yuan County was still in the hands of the Han army.
"Brother!" Gongsun Wang said worriedly: "With such a strong attack by the Wei army, this Yuan County may become our grave."
"Hahaha!" Xiahou Ze laughed loudly and said: "It is really a blessing to die in battle for the general." After saying that, he glanced at the Wei army camp outside the city and sneered: "Even if the two of us die in battle,
, we must also drag the Wei army to be buried with him."
Three thousand people resisted eight thousand people and attacked for a whole day and night; nearly two thousand people of the Han army died in the battle, and almost three or four thousand people of the Wei army died.
If we only count the number of casualties.
Xia Houze and Gongsun Wang have made great contributions.
After all, Yuan County is still in their hands at this time.
Gongsun Wang, who was a little worried at first, smiled when he heard what Xia Houze said and said: "Okay, it is really a blessing in this life to be able to die in battle with my brother!"
While the two were talking, Wei Jun, who paused for a moment, launched another attack.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Xiahouze immediately stood up and gave serious orders to the Han troops at the top of the city.
Maybe——
This will be their last fight with the Wei army.
