The last three kingdoms

Chapter 885 Jingxingkou

Zhao Gu saw that the Weizeguan defense line that he worked so hard for was broken in an instant, and felt a burst of sorrow in his heart. There were only 5000 Huns defending Weizeguan, relying on the dangerous Guancheng. If this advantage is gone If it survived, the Xiongnu army would not be able to resist the attack of the Shu army at all.

Seeing that the Shu army swarmed up, they had already seized the top of Weize Pass, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Huns defending the city. Although the Huns resisted desperately, more and more Shu troops rushed up. There is no end to the killing, and the subsequent Shu army rushed up continuously, and the fall of Weize Pass is a foregone conclusion.

Of course, Zhao Gu had no intention of living and dying with the city. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately voluntarily abandoned Weize Pass and led his troops to flee eastward.

Relying on powerful gunpowder weapons, the Shu army easily took down Weize Pass and opened up the passage to Jizhou eastward.

After Zhao Gu withdrew from Weize Pass, he fled to Jingxingkou, where he joined Liu Qinbing, the general of the Xiongnu stationed at Jingxingkou, and prepared to continue to block the Shu army.

Liu Yin didn't stay long at Weize Pass, and after a short rest, he led his army to march eastward, pointing directly at Jingxing.

Jingxingkou is one of the famous Eight Passages in Taihang Mountains. This is a narrow post road with a length of about tens of miles. It is the most important passage from Shanxi to Hebei. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Speaking of Jingxing, the most memorable one is the classic example of Han Xin’s last stand. When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Han Xin commanded the Han army, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and launched an attack on Zhao Guo.

At that time, Zhao Wangxie and Zhao Jun's commander Chen Yu gathered more than [-] troops, while Han Xin only had more than [-] people. On the other hand, if they attack the grain roads of the Han army and plunder their supplies, the Han army will surely be defeated.However, the headstrong, pedantic and generous Chen Yu insisted that "the righteous soldiers should not use tricks and tricks" and rejected Li Zuoche's suggestion.But Han Xin seized the opportunity and won by surprise. He sent two thousand cavalry to ambush Baodu Mountain, while the main force crossed the Mianmanshui and formed an array on the North River to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army.

When Chen Yu saw that the Han army was arrayed against the water and there was no retreat, he laughed at Han Xin's stupidity and underestimated the enemy even more.At that time, the Han army had no way out, and they put them to death and survived. All of them fought desperately, and the Zhao army could not win.

However, the Jingqi of the Han army lurking in Baodu Mountain took advantage of the emptiness of the Zhao army's attack, and took away Zhao Jun's back nest in one fell swoop. As a result, the Zhao army was defeated and fled one after another. The Han army pursued the victory and won a complete victory. Chen Yu also died in the rebellion, Zhao Wangxie was captured, and Han Xin took advantage of the momentum to pacify Zhao land in one fell swoop.

This battle can be described as Han Xin's famous battle, which has always been talked about by military strategists, and has become a classic example of winning more with less. Instead, he did the opposite, throwing himself into death and then surviving, and falling into death and then reviving, thus arousing the fighting spirit of the soldiers to fight to the death with the same hatred, which fully demonstrated Han Xin's extraordinary courage and superb strategy.

"Wenxuan, this time when the troops leave Jingxingkou, it will be another battle between Han and Zhao. Isn't it God's will for you to be Han Xin?" Fu Qian and Liu Yin walked side by side, looking at Jingxing Mountain not far away, Fu With a smile on his face, he joked authentically.

The battle of Jingxing back then was a battle between the Han army and the Zhao army, but now the Shu army is fighting under the banner of the Han army, and Liu Yin's national construction title is also Zhao. There will always be some amazing coincidences in history. And the battle between Han and Zhao, it is naturally impossible to forget Han Xin.

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "Among the famous generals in ancient times, the height that Han Xin can reach is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The battle of Jingxing can be described as a stroke of genius. Han Xin's unexpected surprise and the combination of Qi and Zheng are the key to the success of the battle of Jingxing , there are many imitators in later generations, such as Xu Huang in the Battle of Hanshui. Chen Yu's pedantry, for example, if the Han army succeeded in attacking Zhao Jun's camp, if Zhao Jun changed its commander, or even let Li Zuoche take command, Han Xin might not be able to succeed. With high risk factors, this kind of success is generally difficult to replicate.”

Fu Qian also nodded with deep understanding, and said: "What Wen Xuan said is very true. The reason why a famous general becomes a famous general is one aspect of strength and strategy, and another aspect of luck and opportunity. If it is another general, Han Xin may not be able to succeed. .By the way, Wenxuan, do you think about how to fight the battle of Jingxing?"

Liu Yin chuckled, and said: "Time has changed and things have changed. There must be no need for a backwater battle. According to the scout's report, there are no more than 2 Huns stationed at Jingxingkou. Even if you escape from Weizeguan The two to three thousand remnants of the army, this force is not enough to put our teeth in. I am going to let the Tiger Cavalry Army, Tiger Infantry Army, and Wudang Army push through all the way. If there is a dangerous pass, let the Firearms Battalion be the pioneer. Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas, I want to see if Han Xin's strategy can be crushed all the way through?"

Although marching and fighting is all about strategy, it is more often reflected in strength. In recent years, the Shu army has fought very hard in Bingzhou. After the division of troops, it has been at a disadvantage and was chased and surrounded by the Huns. , He insisted on surviving in the cracks, and fought every battle carefully, for fear that any omission would cause irreparable consequences.

When fighting at that time, the first thing Liu Yin considered was what kind of strategy to adopt, how to fight in order to remain invincible. After joining forces, they had a large army of more than [-], and their momentum was beyond compare. However, the Xiongnu were not as good as before. They lost troops and lost generals.

For example, in the battle of Jingxing this time, with 11 men against 3000, the Shu army already had the utmost advantage. Han Xin fought Jingxing with a lot of tricks, creating a classic battle example through the ages. Of course Liu Yin didn't have that pursuit. It's fine if you win, it doesn't matter whether it's classic or not, so Liu Yin didn't think about it at all, and decided to adopt the simplest and most brutal style of play, pushing and crushing all the way, to see what strength the Huns have to stop the Shu army step forward.
