Chapter 463: If I Ambush a Division Here(1/2)
ps: The previous text is wrong, it should be the head of the tun.
...
Hu, Qiang, Di, and three tribes that lived with the Han people in Longyou and Hexi since the Qin and Han dynasties, adopted different strategies in the fifth reunification.
He was strictly guarding against the Huns who were the most powerful and might lead the Shanyu invade in the inner world at any time.
The fifth relationship was only cautious when it came to the brave and powerful Western Qiang and Eastern Qiang, which were already difficult to separate.
Only for the weakest Di people, who were basically engaged in terrace farming in the mountains, actively recruited the fifth reunion, allowing these tribes that were suppressed in the time when the former Han and Wei clans were in power, and they were promised that the rank of Marquis of the State of the State - the Di people in the past had too low status. Except for the Baima Di in Wudu County, even Marquis could not get involved. Not to mention the Xin Dynasty, Wang Mang demoted all the vassal states to a higher level.
So for several months, there were many people in Tianshui Di tribe who were affiliated with Wei, and many Di people were willing to apply and obeyed under Wan Xiu's command.
As a "senior" who participated in the guarding of Mian Zhu, Ayun showed his face in front of General Wan. Although he had been detained for several days, he naturally became the head of the village.
But he failed to approach Wan Xiu as he wished, just because General Wan suffered a back injury and liked to patrol the front line in person. Now he could only lie in the car and take a look. Ayun could only watch Wan Xiu's chariot coming from afar and leaving from afar. His small town captain is still not qualified!
"Without even the cultivation of all things, let alone the fifth reunion?" A Yun was a little discouraged.
What's even more serious is that the military situation is constantly being distributed. So, the newly formed Di soldiers received a task: to leverage their advantages of climbing mountains and crossing ridges, follow the first rooster crowing in the captain, heading west, go to Gaochengling, northwest of the Bird Mountains, and go straight to Longxi along the path!
This road was also a surrendered general of the Long Army - a real surrendered general. After walking for seven or eight days, they arrived at the mountains southeast of Didao, the captain sent someone to contact Wu Han. After all, the tradition of "mistake attack on friendly forces" is there, and it is not possible to prevent it.
According to the Fifth Reunion's micro-work, it is difficult for Wu Han's alone army to conquer Didao's city. If you attack the city as your subordinate, you still have to play some conspiracy.
Then the "reinforcements" suddenly arrived, and the surrendered general called the door in front of Didao.
Ayun stood in the front row. He was loyal to Emperor Gongsun and knew that fighting with Wei was crucial and did not want Didao to fall.
But if he reminded him, his identity would be exposed. Ayun has considered whether he would "accidentally" fall to the ground with the five-color scarf distributed to each village. But can he see it on the top of the city? The Wei soldiers and military supervisor behind him are brisk in their eyes!
Just as Ayun was struggling, Wei Xiang at the top of the city spoke and said to the surrendered general Xingzhang: "Please enter the city first and speak!"
After saying that, the hanging basket fell down. He was stunned by the downward siege. When he didn't know whether he should go up, he slightly looked back at the first rooster crow behind him - there were crossbow arrows in the crowd pointing at him quietly!
But this hesitation made Wei Xiang see the flaw!
"That's a Wei army pretending to be! Shooting arrows!"
Didao's arrows shot down randomly, and Xingzhang was shot and retreated in a mess. The rest of the people were not good at acting. They did not continue to call the Long Army, but instead showed the five-color flag of the Wei army in anger.
Ayun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy about it: "Luckily Wei Xiang was suspicious!"
"A mere subtitle, I want to cheat me?"
Seeing that the Wei army failed to defraud the city, Wei Xiang proudly glanced at his subordinates, hoping to hear a few flattery and praise, so that he could take the opportunity to inspire morale.
But they found that the soldiers were not happy. They stayed up late to guard and caused the swollen eye sockets. The last horse was destroyed, leaving only empty confusion.
Reinforcements are here, but they are the enemy's reinforcements. How can we not be desperate?
Wei Xiang was bored and even more afraid. He knew that with the continuous loss of his troops and territory, the Longyou children had already begun to be disloyal from him!
In the next few days, Wu Han finally began to attack Didao. The low-ranking Di soldiers were naturally the first choice for cannon fodder. Especially Ayun, who was sent to the forefront by the malicious first chicken crow, because Wan Xiu paid great attention to this brave little Di soldiers. If the first chicken crow was not good, he could only hope that Ayun would die in the battle.
There were plenty of defenders in the city and the battle was very fierce. Ayun's trough killed seven people in one attack on the trough, which made him angry.
It is true that he was loyal to Emperor Gongsun, and it is true that the Wei soldiers died, but he is also his Di tribe.
However, there were also many casualties in the city, and morale was getting lower and lower. Even though Wei Xiang personally fought on the city wall, it would be useless.
When the fifth day of the battle, the arrows were about to end, and Wei Xiang was a little impatient: "My son is in the ancient county of thirty miles south. I will give him 4,000 people to support Didao. Why don't he come out to rescue?"
The Wei army was obviously besieging the city to attack reinforcements. Wei Xiang didn't know whether to praise his son for being cautious about his father or blame him for not saving him when he saw him die.
Just repelled an attack that day, Wei Xiang leaned on the pillar tiredly and napped. In a daze, he saw several generals gathering not far away, whispering while looking at his position!
This scene made Wei Xiang wake up suddenly, but when he got up and walked over with his personal guards, the few people stopped talking, just lowered their heads and didn't look at his eyes. After all, General Wei was a good person, and he was a little guilty after all.
Wei Xiang was also very alert and suddenly remembered an allusion from the former Han Dynasty.
After Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of Han, defeated Xiang Yu, awarded more than 20 great heroes. The rest of them competed for merit day and night, and could not decide the superiority and failed to give them rewards. Liu Bang saw some generals from the bridge sitting on the sand and talking to each other, and asked Zhang Liang: "What are these people talking about?"
This is how Zhang Liang answered Liu Bang...
"Your Majesty doesn't know? This is a rebellion!"
When they looked at their own eyes, they were looking at a walking seal and a pile of yellow golden cakes!
"Rebellion, they want to rebel!"
The confidant suggested: "General, most of them are Niu Han's in-laws. They have been very lazy in combat recently and are guarding the city gate. It is better to capture and kill them!"
Wei Xiang shook his head. He had no evidence. This would make everyone feel in danger and even more divided.
What's more, it's okay to arrest a few people? Wei Xiang remembered Niu Han's persuasion to surrender, remembered his generous speeches, and after seeing through the Wei army's tricks, the soldiers' cold behavior, and when the people's hearts disperse, it will be difficult to reunite.
Wei Xiang only felt funny. He wanted to be high and deep, and to put his strength down. Who would think that morale would fall first is his own side.
So Wei Xiang summoned the trusted lieutenant and asked his confidants to speak for him: "Niu Han subdued the elite soldiers of Xiaoguan, and the Di bandits also helped Wei. The bandits were prosperous, and the soldiers who took advantage of the victory should not be taken."
"The general, with his newly retreated soldiers, followed by the defeated army, the soldiers lost their temper and the Longyou fell. The ancients said: "The viper stings his hands, and the heroes untie their wrists." Sun Tzu said: "There is something that cannot be attacked, and the land does not be guarded." It is because there are some losses and big things that can be destroyed. Now the harm of Wu and Han is too much that of the viper and the land of Didao is difficult to defend. It is better to retreat south to An, and join the prince and die with Wu and Han."
Such a long list of citations according to classics is translated into human words: "You can't hold on anymore, run away!"
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Wei Xiang, but Wei Xiang slapped the table.
"How can you retreat easily?"
"The Wei army came from afar and divided the troops between the north and south of the city. There was a Tao River blocking them in the middle and could not be rescued. This was when I quickly advanced and defeated the thief. The so-called "thunder and lightning were not enough to cover my ears, and it was natural!"
Wei Jimeng is worthy of being a decent person and still cares about function words today.
"This is not retreat."
"It's going out of the city to attack the enemy and break through!"
...
It is conceivable that the soldiers have such a lord. Wei Xiang used to be respectful to the wise and honest, and decorated himself with righteousness. However, in order to see a person's virtues in war, he had been consumed by the repeated defeats and indecision.
So on the eve of Wei Xiang's escape, several local military officers from Didao gritted their teeth and stomped their feet after learning the news, and opened the northern gate of Didao! Wei Xiang could leave, but they and the family and the manor could not leave. Since Niu Han was doing well in the Wei army, isn't surrender a way out?
Wei Xiang happened to have not slept for a night, but when he learned about the sudden change, he immediately advanced the plan and the south gate opened wide. He concentrated all the horses in the hands of the clans he trusted, and thousands of people rushed out of the city gate and galloped south in a light morning.
But there were also military camps arranged by Wu Han in the south of the city. They did not expect the Long Army to collapse so quickly, and they thought it was a rush to fight, so they hurried out to fight.
During the battle, it was difficult to break through the encirclement and move forward, Wei Xiang could only lead more than a hundred cavalry to cross the cold Tao River water and run south along the river path west of the city.
There were fewer and fewer people around him, but it was okay. Thirty miles away. As long as you flee south for thirty miles, you could reach the city guarded by your son. Wei Xiang gritted his teeth and rode his horse, but there was a fire on the road ahead. A Wei army was not biased and blocked the road!
...
At the same time, Wu Han was also surprised to hear the incident and led his troops to the south of the city to meet with the first chicken crow that barely blocked the Long Army's rushing camp, and only then did he know that Wei Xiang was not found.
Wu Han glanced at the southwest: "The road across the river is very important. If a battalion is ambushed here, even if Wei Xiang escapes, he will have to surrender."
Wu Han looked at the first chicken crowing: "Who is there?"
The first chicken crowed, but he didn't expect that he would hit him by chance and just murmured: "It's Di army camp!"
...
"Didao changed, Wei Xiang escaped!"
"The riders were separated and ran all over the mountain."
"Search along the river and into the mountains, I must catch him!"
After learning the news, Ayun only lamented that Wei Jimeng really couldn't fight. Why was he defeated again in just a few days?
Ayun didn't bother to stomp his feet and sighed, and their garrison was quickly started. The first throne crowed and was not a son of humanity. In the past few days of siege, the moth was in a tough battle and asked the Di people to come forward. Recently, the city was about to go down, so they were removed and replaced by the direct troops to grab the merits.
Therefore, the location of the Di soldiers is southwest of Didao City, opposite the Tao River, which is cold and deserted, and can't get anything. If there are Long soldiers in the south from now onwards, they will be rushed to the first route.
"We shouldn't believe the nonsense of the Wei people."
The weather was very cold, and the Di soldiers trembled and began to regret it. They thought that the Wei army would be different from Longyou, but they turned out to be the same as the same bird.
"The Di soldiers do the most tiring work, fight the hardest city, walk the farthest road, and die the most, and get the lowest reward."
But Ayun, as the head of the village, said a fair word.
"General Wan still cares for us, and there are men and soldiers in the brigade who are watching. The captain of the rooster crowing can only use small tricks. He can't cover up his achievements."
Not to mention anything else, there are so many things in the Shu army in Chengjia than this...
After saying that, Ayun seemed to find that as an assassin, it was not appropriate to speak for the assassinated person, so he quickly shut up.
But in fact, the Di soldiers could not say anything bad about Wan Xiu. Although this general was not a brave general, he was strict and kind, and did not discriminate against the Di soldiers. In Tianshui, the armor, soldiers, food and fodder they should be given. The general was afraid that the minor officials would treat them harshly, so he would ask for it personally and would never deduct any of them. If he made a contribution, he would immediately be called an official. Ayun was a typical example.
I think Emperor Wu is the same. The bad one is the first school clerk like Ji Chi!
As they spoke like this, their feet were not slow. The Di people were not very different from the Han people in the mountains. Most of them were simple, honest and confident, and they tried their best to carry out the tasks when they got them. This is why Wan Xiu liked them.
In the river valley, the speed of Di soldiers is not as fast as that of horses, but now they are searching mountains and forests, but they are walking on flat ground. Many people have thick soles and can step on gravel without wearing shoes.
"It's blood!"
A Di soldier from a hunter shouted. He was exploring the way forward and found a drop of blood on a withered leaf. He pushed away the dead grass, but saw a blurry horse hoof print.
After searching for more than a hundred steps, they found a dead horse, which broke its legs and was abandoned by its owner. In order to avoid its voice, they also cut off their necks.
Ayun touched the horse. As an assassin who had been training for many years, he could know the rough time of death through the temperature of his body, at most no more than a moment!
