Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1166 Brothers turn against each other
Although the fighting intensity in Wuguan was higher than that in Huayin, it was still limited.

With the powerful weapon of the General Cannon sitting on the battlefield, there is no way to solve it at this stage, and any enemy is completely helpless in the face of such a powerful weapon.

It is true that the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Wuguan is much stronger than that of the mob like Hongnong, but most of the combat preparations are concentrated on the wall. near restricted area.

One side is the terrified people caught off guard, and the other side is the Xiangyang soldiers who are full of vigor and courage, and the final result of the war can be imagined.

The entire battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Xiangyang soldiers basically drove the enemy out of Wuguanguan City.A large number of defeated soldiers fled to the countryside, and then in the pursuit of the Xiangyang Army, several battalions and defenses on the back road were washed away one after another!

The Xiangyang army was in a state of invincibility. Although they did not take a full rest before the battle, such an invincible battle situation was enough to stimulate the soldiers to fully unleash their potential. After conquering Wuguan, they pulled out seven or eight enemy camps in a row.

After fighting until there were no longer traces of the enemy troops around Wuguan, the chasing troops from all walks of life dragged their tired bodies and returned to Wuguan to recuperate in an excited mood.

In the evening, Huan Xuan's Chinese army tent entered the Wuguan Pass City, and after taking stock of all the victories, even Huan Xuan, a veteran of a hundred battles, couldn't help but smile.Such a big victory was something he had never experienced since he joined the army.

The enemy's rout was too hasty, and there was no time to collect a large number of supplies in the city. Except for the parts lost in the chaotic fight in the Guancheng, almost all of the rest were accepted by the Xiangyang army.

Although Guo Jing's troops are entrenched in Shangluo, the situation is not good, but Wuguan, as the gateway to Shangluo, is so heavily defended, and it also hoards a large amount of goods and military resources for the purpose of holding on.There were nearly ten thousand guards in this area, and they were defeated in the first battle, and there was not even any consumption of confrontation, so the battle gains were really rich and abnormal, enough to support the army's next military attack.

In order to ensure that the soldiers had sufficient physical strength for the next battle, after the army entered Guancheng, Huan Xuan did not even arrange for soldiers to repair the severely damaged city walls of Guancheng.After witnessing the powerful attacking power of the general's cannon, the enemy troops were all terrified of being killed, and it didn't matter whether the wall was repaired or not.

Therefore, Huan Xuan only kept the basic defense, and then used the captured military resources to feast on the sergeants, arranged for the soldiers to sleep and rest, and at the same time ordered people to send a message to the successor army to abandon their luggage and speed up the march.

The news of the capture of Wuguan was sent back to the rear, and the generals in Xiangyang were also very surprised. Before that, they thought that a strong fortress like Wuguan had to be trapped with a large army, and they even had to cooperate with a surprise attack from the future. It is only possible to win if it is attacked by the enemy.

But now that the Chinese army on the front line has only just arrived in the territory, it is really puzzling to hear the news that Xiongguan has been taken down.Although they didn't have the chance to witness the majesty of the general's cannon with their own eyes, they could imagine the mighty power of the troops ahead with a little thought.

Therefore, there was no need for the commander-in-chief Huan Xuan to issue another military order to urge them. All the people and horses gave up the luggage accompanying the army in a tacit understanding, and set off to Wuguan at full speed. That kind of positive attitude was much different than when they left Xiangyang for Nanyang earlier. The procrastination is no longer the same.

In the middle of the night, people from all walks of life had already gathered outside Wuguanguan City. The speed of this advance even surprised the general Huanxuan, wondering if this was the Xiangyang army he was familiar with before?
But no matter how surprised Huan Xuan was, it was not as surprised as those soldiers who rushed to Wuguan later.With the help of the faint morning light, they could already see the traces of the battle left on the wall and inside and outside the city. From this, they inferred how the battle was like a rainbow yesterday, and each of them inevitably became more eager.

"Such a powerful victory, it is time to attack bravely and reap the rewards! The last general is willing to continue his strength and rush forward to kill the enemy!"

Encouraged by this, the generals in the rear all rushed to Huanxuan's tent to fight for a chance to fight, regardless of the exhaustion of traveling all night.

When Huan Xuan saw this scene, he felt very emotional, especially when he thought of the attitude of the generals who were evasive and lazy to apply for the recruitment in Xiangyang, which was in stark contrast to the current performance of eagerness to fight.

But the morale is so good and usable, which also makes Huanxuan very pleased. Everyone is so eager to fight, and it is conceivable that Xiangyang will be completely brought under the control of Taiwan in the future, and it will become smoother.

However, Huan Xuan is not the young Meng Lang's generation, and he did not get carried away because of the temporary victory. On the one hand, he arranged for various people to rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, he sent people to fly to tell General Shen on the North Road, asking for instructions on what to do next. action.

The news from the north arrived almost at the same time that General Shen had already entered Hongnong, and the rest of the elite army of Wang Shi had continued to attack westward along the Wei River.The instructions given by General Shen to the Xiangyang Army are also very simple, that is, continue to attack, do not hold back, and expand the results of the battle in the shortest possible time, so as to wipe out Guo Jing's troops from the three assistants!

After receiving this military order, there was nothing to say. When the strength of the soldiers recovered a little, Huan Xuan reorganized the troops from all walks of life and divided them into three groups, the front, the middle and the back, and marched directly to Wuguan. Kill to the west.

After Wuguan, there are no more dangerous mountains and rivers, but that does not mean that there is no obstacle at all. There are still a large number of Hu troops scattered in the countryside for their own defense, but it is not very meaningful in terms of defense. The more important thing is to disperse in the countryside and eat separately party.

After Guo Chun led a group of rout soldiers to escape from Wuguan yesterday, they headed west to Shangluo headquarters. It cannot be overestimated.

The garrison spread out too much. Basically, apart from knowing the critical situation of the military on the fleeing line and abandoning the camp to follow Guo Chun back to Shangluo, other troops farther away did not even know that Wuguan had fallen.

Wuguan is the gateway fortress that Guo Jing mainly manages, and everyone knows this. They still have confidence in Wuguan's defense, and even if they don't defend it, they will confront each other for a long time.

But I didn't expect that the breakthrough of Wuguan was so sudden, so when the mighty Xiangyang army appeared outside its garrison, many enemy soldiers were completely defenseless, and some garrison soldiers were still hunting in the countryside. Then fell into a fierce offensive and a painful blow.

In such a battle, there is no suspense about the battle situation. In the countryside southeast of Shangluo, whether it is some of Hu Jun's garrisons or the local Xiangzongwubi, they are almost completely powerless, and they have been attacked and removed one after another.

Soon, the number of surrendered prisoners of war captured by the Xiangyang Army alone reached nearly ten thousand, and the number of beheadings was innumerable.In order to ensure such a sharp offensive rhythm, Huan Xuan could only divide up the troops along the way, and imprisoned these prisoners separately, waiting for the sergeants from the rear to be recruited one by one.

Shangluo itself was split from Lizhi by Jingzhao, so it is very close to Sansuke.Although Guo Jing's men and horses scattered in the countryside to eat in large numbers, they still maintain nearly ten thousand soldiers in the base camp of Shangluo County.

Originally, setting up an ambush outside Hongnong County was useless, and even had to give up Guo Jing as the main general due to the pursuit of soldiers. Guo Shi was already hated to die. The shock is unimaginable!
"Wuguan is where our army guards the gate. Half of the army's resources and personnel are concentrated there, but you were wiped out in one battle! If you don't fight fiercely and defend there, how can you return with face!"

Seeing Guo Chun's remnants retreating to Shangluo in embarrassment, Guo Shi's eyes were shattered, and he wished to kill Guo Chun directly.Whether or not Wuguan was lost is still a second issue. What made Guo Shi feel heartbroken was the large amount of supplies discarded in that pass city.

These remnants of them were stationed in Shangluo, and they themselves lacked much production. They were able to accumulate some family property only by collecting and looting. The gates were not able to hold.

"You still have the face to accuse me? Uncle loves you and treats you like your own, but you are afraid of the enemy and abandon uncle. The ruthlessness is so outrageous!"

In the face of Guo Shi's scolding, Guo Chun is also plausible. Compared with him, he followed Guo Jing and moved to this side for a longer time, but Guo Shi came from behind to help his uncle. He had long been resentful in his heart. After being captured, it immediately exploded completely.

"Don't tell me you want to meet my life and death at this moment?"

Seeing Guo Chun pressing the saber, Guo Shi's eyes widened for a moment, and his mood became even more irritable.

"Although I won't fight with you to help the thief at this moment, you don't want to order me again!"

Guo Chun has been in the army with his uncle for a long time, and has a group of supporters by his side. Right now, the brothers are incompatible, and there are quite a few generals in the army camp standing behind Guo Chun.

"Since you say that your uncle has entrusted you with heavy responsibilities, I will not compete with you. But at present, whether Shangluo can keep it is still uncertain. I must open the three auxiliary roads so that I will have no worries in the future. I will lead everyone to pave the way. As for whether the legacy left by uncle can be maintained, it depends on whether you are ordered in the face of danger and whether you can withstand this important task!"

After Guo Chun finished speaking, Dang even withdrew from the military tent aggressively, and some of his fans also followed after seeing this.Some people were not convinced by Guo Chun at all, but just because they knew that the situation was not good and didn't want to stay in the rear to stop the elite tiger and wolf of the Jin army's king's division, they also followed them out.

"Bad boy, bad boy..."

Seeing this scene, Guo Shi was so angry that he could hardly speak for a while. Now that the defenses on the upper and lower Luo borders have been breached, and the two armies of the Jin army have pierced Luo's heart like sharp knives, the situation is extremely critical. If we can work together or There was still a glimmer of life, but now Guo Chun turned against him and broke up with him, which made Guo Shi understand that Shangluo was difficult to defend.

"Pass my order, gather the Chinese army from all walks of life, and we will wait for the brave soldiers in Jinzhong to fight to the death with the bandit army!"

After struggling for a long time, Guo Shi finally did not make up his mind to kill Guo Chun, and it is indeed one of his chances to get rid of the three assistants right now. Even if Guo Chun did not jump out, most of the other generals also had this idea in their hearts.Even if he tried his best to kill Guo Chun, but as Guo Chun said, if he watched his uncle Guo Jing fall into the enemy's line, he would be greatly disappointed, and it would be difficult for him to unite all forces and win the hearts of the people.

When he thought of his uncle being captured by the enemy army as he saw with his own eyes, his heart ached to death, and he didn't want to run away like a bereaved dog. He was determined to show his heroism to the enemy army and wash away his name of filial piety and heartlessness!
