Chapter 602: The Final Break of Chang'an (I)
Guo Huai coughed, cleared his throat, and then said, "What General Gongming said is really a sharp attack. Zhuge Liang must have planned this. Governor, we cannot hide in the city and hold our troops still. We must seize this opportunity to take the initiative to break the siege of Shu.
Even if it fails, it can also restrain some of the Shu army and reduce the pressure on the Grand Sima and the others."
"After that being said, Chang'an is the foundation of our army after all. Once there is a loss, our army will become a tree without roots and a duckweed without water, and will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong.
Besides, Zhuge Liang was always cautious in using troops. He took away a large group of troops. Do you really think that just one army of Guan Xing could restrain us?" Xiahou Ru said with concern.
Fei Yao said: "The detailed work lurking in Shu before the reward is said to be the martial arts lecture hall of the Shu army once taught such a military strategy, that is, people and land are all preserved, land is lost, and people and land are lost.
It is said that this theory was proposed by Yang Qing, and Zhuge Liang also highly praised it. I believe that in Zhuge Liang's view, annihilation of our main force is more important than seizing Chang'an. After all, once the Grand Sima and others are destroyed, it is still not too late to come back to attack Chang'an, and it is even easier."
"General Gongming's analysis is reasonable. Chang'an City cannot be moved after all, and the Shu army can take it anytime." Yan Fei bowed to Xiahou Ru on the main position: "It's just the governor. Our army is weak and the enemy is strong. It's all right to be careful."
"Yeah..." Xiahou Ru nodded and pondered for a moment.
Guo Huai said: "Governor, the main force of the Shu army finally retreated. We cannot waste this opportunity no matter what. After all, we have been losing contact with the Grand Sima and the others for many days. If we do not communicate with each other, it will be the ones that the Shu army will take advantage of.
Huai thought that after Zhuge Liang's brigade left, he could use cavalry to launch a tentative attack on Guan Xing's troops. If the Shu people had no tricks, we would launch a large attack and try to pull out Guan Xing's nail."
"Boji's plan is very wonderful and is a perfect solution." Xiahou Ru shouted.
Having already had a conspiracy, Xiahou Ru immediately issued an order, ordering Fei Yao to point out the only remaining five thousand cavalry in the city, which was the strongest combat power, as the front team, and also asked Zhou Zhuo to lead five thousand infantry as the second team. Finally, he and Guo Huai led 3,000 troops as the back team, and Yan Fei led the remaining five thousand troops to stay in the city.
All three teams gathered near the South Gate. Just when Zhuge Liang led the brigade of Han troops to leave, he opened the city gate and launched a sudden attack on Guanxing's troops.
Outside the south gate, the three Han troops had already assembled. Zhuge Liang was worried that there were only 5,000 Guanxing troops who were left behind in the camp, so he asked General Liu Min to lead the three thousand tiger infantry troops to stay together and gave the two secret plans.
"Prime Minister, all the troops are ready. Have you set off?" Jiang Wei came to Zhuge Liang and asked for his order.
Zhuge Liang did not answer immediately, but turned around and asked Hu Ji on the side, "Have you replied to Mingzhi?"
"Returning to the Prime Minister, Ji was about to report that Yang Envoy Jun had just heard news that there were more than 30,000 Wei troops who had escaped from the valley. They were now camping and setting up camp with their backs against Zikou Pass. Yang Envoy Jun's people have been deployed and can support the central army at any time."
Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction and said to Jiang Wei with a smile: "Everything is done, only one blow is needed. Boyue, please send the order to start."
"promise."
In front of Zikou Pass, Yang Qing still led the cavalry to confront Zhang Hemen. Zhang Yi and Yu Shi gathered more than 2,000 defeated soldiers to rest in the rear of the cavalry phalanx.
The two of them settled the soldiers and rode to Yang Qing, dismounted and knelt down and said, "I have lost Zikou Pass, please give me a sentence."
"Boqi, Bogui, why is this? I have said before that Zhang He led his army from the east to the back was something we all expected. The Wei army attacked inside and outside, without fear of casualties. The fall of Zikou Pass was not on your head. You don't have to blame yourself, get up quickly."
Zhang Yi said: "Emister, even though that is the case, Zikou Pass was thrown from Yi after all. We broke the fire attack plan of the Prime Minister gathering and annihilated Cao Zhen's army in Ziwu Valley. We will be responsible for being unavoidable no matter what."
"Yes, envoy, don't cover up the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial
Seeing that the two of them were thinking too much, Yang Qing couldn't help laughing, turned over and dismounted, and helped them up. He said warmly: "You and you really thought too much. Although the fire attack plan last night was wonderful, the Prime Minister did not force him to wipe out Cao Zhen's army and hurt him severely, which was a great victory.
You and the other two have done their best to guard the pass. Although the relevant city is under control, there are few enemies and many enemies. There is no need to blame yourself too much, and there is no need to worry that the Prime Minister will blame me.
You and the other ones are coming, and I have something to let you do here. If you can do it beautifully, even if you have lost your merits, would you like to be punished?"
"Just give me the order, I dare not do my best." Zhang Yi and Yu She hurriedly agreed.
Yang Qing nodded and said, "Okay, you and the others will bring their troops to the camp later, and then you only need to do this..."
The news that more than 30,000 Han troops left Chang'an Chaozikou Pass was soon heard by Xiahou Ru and others. After the Han army left, Xiahou Ru immediately ordered the troops to act according to the plan.
"Kill!"
The south gate opened and the drums were loud. Fei Yao led five thousand light cavalry to attack the Han army camp outside Chang'an City. Guan Xing was shocked and ordered the troops to defend their positions and protect the village walls.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
With Guan Xing's order, the crossbowman stepped forward neatly and bent his bow and shot arrows. In an instant, the arrows fell like rain, and the crossbow flew away, nailing the more than a hundred Wei cavalry who rushed in the front to the ground.
Although the Wei army screamed repeatedly and many people fell under the horse, they still charged bravely with the inspiration of Fei Yao as the leader. After a while, they approached the wall of the Han army's village. While fighting back with a crossbow, they chopped the deer antlers and resisted the horse with a knife and axe.
After several days of besieging the city, there was no war for a long time. The Han army had never expected that the Wei army in the city would suddenly come out. Although Guan Xing responded in time, the matter was hasty, and there were less than two thousand soldiers who arrived at the front battalion to defend, which was very difficult to defend.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Wei army was coming in full force, and cleared several passages from the deer antlers blocking the road in a few seconds. When they approached the village wall, they attacked again. In the blink of an eye, the Han army felt much pressure and the camp was almost at risk of being lost.
"Okay, Gongming played well. Before the first drum was finished, he led his men to the outside of the Shu army's village wall. He really let us out a vent of anger." Xiahou Ru applauded repeatedly on the city wall.
Guo Huai also felt that Fei Yao's fierce attack had greatly increased morale, and nodded and agreed: "What the governor said is that he has been huddling in the city these days, and the men have been holding back crazy. Our army's offensive is so fierce that it shows that the soldiers' morale has not dispersed and they are still able to fight."
"No, not bad, the soldiers are still fierce and fearless when fighting. The morale of the army is available." Xiahou Rudao: "Boji, the Shu camp is crumbling. Do you think you can get the second team?"
"Don't be anxious, our army has the upper hand, Guan Xing is already in the jar, and it's not too late to let the second team attack after the scout confirmed the movements of Zhuge Liang's army."
Xiahou Ru nodded and said, "Well, it seems that I am anxious. When it comes to thinking carefully, I am not as good as Bo Ji."
"The governor is so ridiculous that Huai feels a little ashamed." Guo Huai said with a smile.
Xiahou Ru also laughed loudly when she heard this, and she felt very happy for days. After a stick of incense, she found a horse to return Zhuge Liang's army and was still heading towards Zikou Pass, and there was no sign of returning.
"Zhuge Liang's attention is indeed on the side of Grand Sima and others. I believe there is no backup here in Chang'an."
Guo Huai said: "What the governor said is very much. It seems that the second team can be brought to the front. We must break through the camp and defeat Guan Xing in one fell swoop. We must first relieve the siege of the Shu army, and then pick up the Grand Sima and the others back to Chang'an."
"Yes, that's the reason." Xiahou Rudao: "The person who came, sent Zhou Zhuo to attack and assist in the battle."
