Han Shizu

Chapter 807 A Great Victory
"The small ridge is broken!"

"The small ridge is broken!"

The Shu army, which had been reluctantly assembled, was just ready to attack. A Shu general rode a horse, crossed the rough mountain road, and crashed into Damantianzhai. He was in a hurry and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the hesitation on Wang Zhaoyuan's face immediately disappeared, and when he entered the village, he hurriedly ordered someone to pull the informer off his horse, and asked sternly, "What did you say!"

Faced with Wang Zhaoyuan's scolding question, the military academy just stabilized its mind and lamented: "Private, Xiaomantianzhai has fallen!"

"Impossible! Are you a spy of the Han army who came to disturb our army's morale!" Wang Zhaoyuan sternly stopped with an expression of disbelief.

"Xiaoling has really fallen!" Facing Wang Zhaoyuan's expression that seemed to be devouring, the military academy who reported the letter was a little innocent.

Hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan asked angrily: "The stalemate has reached the present, why did it suddenly fall! Didn't Wang Shenchao still have two battalions of soldiers as backup? Where is Wang Shenchao? Why did you lose the camp for me?"

"The Han army was attacking fiercely. We fought and resisted with all our strength, but suddenly a Han army took advantage of our unpreparedness and rushed out from behind the stronghold. It was hard to stop the attack from both sides. Before the stronghold was broken, the young man was ordered to fight out. Report. General Wang, General Wang, he is trapped in the army, and he is dead or alive!" The military academy replied.

Hearing what he said, Wang Zhaoyuan almost got stuck in his trachea, feeling both angry and ashamed.As a supervisor from the north, he just made a start, the stronghold has been lost, and then he thought about the military strategy just now, he was very energetic, and almost broke the defense directly.

After all, he is a person who has been in a high position all year round. He tried his best to calm himself down, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but it was Zhao Chongtao and other generals and the surrounding soldiers who were watching him. The uncomfortable feeling came from their eyes.

Sensing the wavering of the army's morale, Wang Zhaoyuan came to his senses. Looking at the military academy he was applying for, Nian Qi shouted all the way into the camp, and resisted the urge to kick him over.

Looking at his appearance, I knew in my heart that there was no more information to be asked from him, so I immediately ordered: "Send someone immediately to check the situation of the battle and detect the movement of the Han army! Let the Shendu army retreat quickly !"

"Yes!" A herald obeyed and left.

"Private Wang, since the northern stronghold is broken, I will be discouraged. Once the Han army occupies the road and the rest is over, I will definitely lead troops to attack our southern stronghold. The situation is urgent. Since you are here, how to resist the enemy, please make up your mind quickly? Zhao Chongtao asked with a solemn expression on behalf of the generals, who was slowly falling silent, Wang Zhaoyuan.

At this time, he was not interested in fighting Wang Zhaoyuan anymore. It was not because of his high awareness, but because he felt the danger.After all, we are all on the same ship now, and although the ship is leaky, it still needs a helmsman.The other thing is that Wang Zhaoyuan is the master, and the main responsibility will not fall on him for any consequences.

Looking up at the performance of the soldiers around him, he didn't feel that those eyes were full of expectation and trust. After a little consideration, he tried to act calmly and said: "Let the Shendu army immediately withdraw to Damantianzhai, burn Fuliang, Let the generals in the village adjust immediately, appease the soldiers, raise their vigilance, and strengthen the defense of Damantian Village. The North Ridge has been lost, and there can be no more problems in the South Ridge!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhaoyuan led his soldiers back to the commander's tent in Damantian Village.A group of Shu generals were left behind, looking at each other in blank dismay, and all the people turned their eyes to Zhao Chongtao. Seeing this, Zhao Chongtao waved his hands: "What do you all see me doing? The king's privy commander is in front, and you still don't dismiss the soldiers, just follow orders?"

When Wang Zhaoyuan entered the commander's account, he took out the Lizhou military defense map of the Shu army, studied it carefully, and seemed to want to get inspiration from it, reverse the defeat, and save the crisis.

Look carefully, but the eyes are a little dazed.However, Wang Zhaoyuan still had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He was thinking deeply, where did the Han army who attacked sneakily come from?Are there other dark hands?Did he also take a surprise attack and lead the troops to launch a counterattack to retake Xiaomantian Village?Do you want to transfer the troops from the south to the north for support?

But no matter how much you think about it, it will be useless in the end. When it arrives, it depends on the next move of the Han army.From the moment Xiaomantianzhai fell, or when Gao Huaide's partial division moved to the enemy's rear, a big hole was leaked in the Shu army's defense line, and the initiative of the war fell completely into the hands of the Han army.

For the first time, Wang Zhaoyuan felt a sense of powerlessness and doubts about himself. The development of the war was completely beyond his expectations. The strength of the Han army and the cunning of the generals made him a little at a loss.

When Qin Feng was defeated back then, he was giving remote instructions in Chengdu after all, so he didn't feel that deeply. It was just that the Shu generals were incompetent and could not use his strategy and tactics.But now that he was on the battlefield in person, he hadn't actually met the Han army, but the oppression and power that came to his face made him feel as if he was being suffocated.

It didn't take too long, the situation ahead became clearer and clearer. Of course, the bad news continued. The Han army not only broke Xiaomantianzhai, but also took advantage of the victory and went south, just in time to bump into the northward Shendu Shu army.After some attacks, the Shendu Shu army was directly defeated by the Han general Gao Huaide, and the Han army took the opportunity to advance quickly and successfully seized the Shendu Fuliang.

In the Damantian village, when they heard the news of the defeat in the north, the morale of the army was shaken, especially the Shendu defeated army who fled back one after another, was even more anxious.Everyone couldn't help but wonder how long the Great Mantian Village could hold out if the Xiaomantian Village was so dangerous and fortified that it was captured by the Han army in half a day.

Not long after Shenchu ​​time passed, the autumn sun shifted, and the light that spread among the villages in Shu became a little bit colder.Another Shu army was defeated and came south quickly, all in a mess, throwing away their helmets and armor, but their weapons were still in hand.There are not many people, and at a glance, there are only about 200 people, and the pace is hurried, as if there are hungry wolves chasing behind.

Coming closer, a military academy jumped out from among the defeated soldiers, looking very strong, speaking in a Chuan accent, he said anxiously: "We are the defenders of Shendu, open the gate of the village quickly, save us, the Han army is chasing after us! "

In the previous half an hour or so, some defeated Shendu troops who had been scattered and fled south had been gathered, but there were not as many people.However, listening to the familiar accent, the Han flag was faintly flickering in the mountain road at the far end of the field of vision.

The situation was a bit urgent, the military academy at the gate of the village didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered someone to open the gate, and at the same time sent someone to report the approaching enemy army and warn the whole village.

"Hurry up and come in, don't block the door, immediately go to the left village, Mr. Zhao has arranged a place for you to rest!" The military academy stepped forward and commanded.

The leader of the defeated army came forward, raised his eyes together and showed a smile like a spring breeze, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much!"

"No..." Before the officer guarding the gate realized the meaning of that smile, he saw a flash of light, and then there was no more.
After knocking down the Shu school guarding the gate, the leading officer only yelled "Kill" loudly, and then led his men to kill the Shu soldiers who were completely unresponsive at the gate.In the back, the "chasing" Han army advanced even faster, and in less than a moment, Shu Da filled the Tianzhai, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

Hearing the sound of killing in front of the stronghold suddenly, Wang Zhaoyuan was startled and ordered someone to investigate.Zhao Chongtao walked in in person, looked at Wang Zhaoyuan, and said anxiously: "Private Wang, don't study the picture of the village anymore. The Han army has suddenly arrived, and they are already attacking the village! The gate of the village has been broken!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan was a little inconceivable: "Aren't the Han soldiers afraid of being tired? After capturing the Beizhai and taking the Shendu, they dare to attack my Nanling Jianzhai?"

"What? You said the gate of the village has been broken!" As he spoke, Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly reacted, his eyes widened: "Didn't I ask you to step up your guard? Just as the killing sound started, why did you break down the village?"

"A small group of the Han army turned into a defeated army in the deep crossing, and the gatekeepers didn't notice, so they let them in!" Zhao Chongtao was also furious.

"Damn it! How dare you be so careless!" Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes were tearing apart: "The main force of the Han army must follow behind, and immediately send people to retake the gate of the village!"

"I've already transferred the troops!" Zhao Chongtao looked at Wang Zhaoyuan and said seriously, "Private Wang, the Han army is attacking the stronghold, so you shouldn't sit in the tent and resist the enemy!"

Hearing his words, Wang Zhaoyuan suppressed the shock in his heart, got up, held his sword, and walked out of the tent staggeringly.

But in Damantian Shuzhai, it was already in chaos, like a pot of oil dripping into water, boiling violently, people swarming, and noisy everywhere.Although the village is huge and the fortifications are strong, after the Han army successfully rushed in, the result was already doomed.

The generals of the Shu army, such as Wang Zhaoyuan and Zhao Chongtao, had struggled and commanded the army to resist, but the Shu soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and the Shu soldiers who were beaten repeatedly could not be the opponents of the Han army with such momentum.After fighting fiercely for more than an hour, they completely collapsed. Wang Zhaoyuan and Zhao Chongtao led only less than [-] remnants, broke away from the battle, abandoned the village and retreated to Miangu.

On the way, he also sent people to Miyaya to inform Yishenzheng's leading army to respond.However, before reaching Zhoucheng, there was another bad news. During the fierce battle between Han and Shu in Mantianling, a Han army attacked Miangu.

Hearing that, as if being struck by lightning, he took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck the cool air in the air dry. Thinking of the pledge made by Yi Shenzheng before the Beishangdu War, he had the urge to strangle the other party to death.

At the same time, the expression is a little sad, why are there siege divisions of the Han army everywhere?How many people did the Han army send to detour?Could it be that this difficult road to Shu is fake?
"There are interceptions ahead, and pursuers behind. We will be captured by the Han army!" Wang Zhaoyuan sighed.

"Go to Jubaijin!" Zhao Chongtao said, "As long as the ferry is still there, I still have a chance!"

Without any hesitation, the two rushed to lead people, sparing no effort, and hurriedly turned to Jubaijin, the ferry of Jialing River in the southwest of Miangu.

In the night, on Jubaijin, the flames were raging, and the red light was reflected on the faces of the defeated soldiers of the Shu army who were trying their best to come, and the look of despair was fully displayed on the faces.

It was not the Han army who set fire to the pontoon bridge, but Yi Shenzheng who had fled ahead of time.
"Yi Shen Zheng missed me!" The shrill shouts and curses resounded by the Jialing River, and were quickly covered by the sound of Feng Shui.

On the side of the Shu division, Guo Jin, who led the army to attack Miantu City, rushed to the ferry one step later. Although he only brought two battalions to pursue, seeing Wang and Zhao's defeated army was like seeing a piece of fat.Weiji, a flickering fire came from the northeast, and the food sharers came!

This time, it was really in a desperate situation!

The big and small Mantian villages were destroyed, Miangu City was captured, and the Lizhou strategy was fully realized.
