Great Han Empire

Chapter 912 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
"Stop chasing...stop chasing..." Yan Rou reined in her horse tightly and shouted wildly.The war horse raised its front hooves in pain, raised its neck and neighed wildly.Yan Rou half-hanging in the air, swung her halberd vigorously, "Blow the horn, blow the horn, don't chase anymore..." The front hooves of the war horse landed on the ground, and it took several steps before stopping panting.

"Woooo..." The long horn sounded through the air, the sound of the horn was full of excitement of victory, but also full of anger and dissatisfaction.With the winning ticket in their hands, the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang were still unwilling to let the people of Xiliang break through the siege.

"Urgently tell my lord Taiwei, the battle in the middle battlefield is over, and all ministries are rapidly reorganizing. The army can enter the battlefield on both wings at any time. Please give orders immediately, my lord Taiwei." Yan Rou pulled off her helmet, held up the large sleeves of her cloak and wiped it. Wiping the sweat on his face, he shouted in a hoarse voice.The messenger agreed in a loud voice, and galloped towards the city like lightning.

The soldiers of northern Xinjiang raised their weapons high, cheered and jumped for joy, and thunderous roars resounded through the wilderness.

Huangfu Li looked back at the battlefield where the dead bodies were scattered, he let out a long breath, then fell powerlessly on the horse's back, and moaned in pain.He had been shot in the back by an arrow and had several wounds on his arms and thighs, dripping with blood.

"How are you?" Yan Rou rode to Huangfu Li's side and asked with concern.

"I'm getting old." Huangfu Li shook his hands at Yan Rou, and said shamefully, "I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and I can't do it anymore."

"Haha..." Yan Rou laughed out loud, "How old are you? When we fought side by side in Xiliang, you were still a young man, younger than me."

"I can't compare with you. For more than ten years, you have been fighting every year, and I have never fought since I became King Qin."

The two were chatting, when Xie Wu came flying like a horse, and before he got close, he roared angrily: "Why didn't you fight? Why? Yan Jie died, General Tiger's brother died, thousands of soldiers' corpses were lying on this battlefield Now, we should catch up and annihilate the Xiliang people and kill them all."

"What did you say?" Yan Rou's face changed suddenly, "Lord Yan, is he dead?"

"He was killed by Yan Xing." Jie Wu panted violently and waved his hands excitedly, "Before he died, he killed Yan Xing with a knife, he died, he died..."

Huangfu Li barely propped up his body, trying to comfort Xie Wu, who was in grief and indignation, but held back the words.Yan Jie was Yan Liang's younger brother, and he died when the army had the upper hand on the battlefield. Although something happened unexpectedly, he really had no face to see Yan Liang.In addition, I am not a general of the Northern Xinjiang Department, and Jie Wu, the school captain of the city gate, is a confidant of the general. Offending Jie Wu will not do me any good, so let Yan Rou deal with it.

"What are you yelling at?" Yan Rou was heartbroken, and anger rushed straight to her forehead, "Yan Jie died in battle, and he deserved it. It is an honor for a warrior to die in battle."

"You..." Jie Wu's eyes were burning, his face was red with anger, his lips trembled, he didn't know what to say, "What are we thousands of people doing here? The enemy is right in front, we can kill them."

"It's not necessary." Yan Rou waved her hand vigorously, "Do you know why Master Qu divided his troops into the middle battlefield? It's very simple, we need to control the battlefield situation as soon as possible, form an absolute advantage in strength on each battlefield as soon as possible, and end this battle as soon as possible. "Yan Rou pointed to the sky in the west, "Look, the sun is already red, and dusk is getting closer. Once we fail to end the battle before dark, the possibility of the enemy breaking through is very high."

"If we want to form an absolute superior force in each battle, we must first solve a battlefield." Seeing that Jie Wu was still furious, Yan Rou shook her head helplessly, and explained, "The enemy in the middle battlefield is the least, and our advantage is the greatest. But Ma Chao and Yan Xing's iron cavalry are Xiliang's elite, and we can't eat them for a while, so General Qu Yi immediately sent troops to support the middle battlefield after he surrounded the high-ranking officials. The purpose was to wipe out Ma Chao and Yan Xing in the shortest time. Let the army on the middle battlefield free up their hands and quickly support other battlefields."

"But they came late, and Ma Chao led the army to break through." Yan Rou said regretfully, "If we keep chasing, what if we catch up to Han Sui's central army? Although we can kill more enemies, we can even kill all of them." Annihilate them, but we were successfully restrained by Ma Chao's army, and we would lose time and the opportunity to support the other two battlefields to encircle and annihilate more enemies. When you can support it, retreat quickly. The more troops he withdraws to Chang'an, the more unfavorable the Guanzhong War will be to us. If he sticks to Chang'an for several months and we fail to occupy Guanzhong, then we will lose the Guanzhong War. In the end we had to withdraw Sansuke because we ran out of food and grass."

Jie Wu's panting gradually became quieter, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, "Sir, which battlefield are we supporting now? Is it the left wing or the right wing?"

"Regroup the army first." Yan Rou said calmly, "He Feng still has 6000 to [-] men to fight again. Duan Xuan's Tiger Ben and Yulin haven't exerted their power yet. Master Huangfu and I still have at least [-] cavalry, [-]. No matter which battlefield the [-] troops go to, they can quickly solve the problem."

"Didn't your lord say that we don't have time? Why don't you leave immediately?" Jie Wu became angry again, "what are you waiting for, my lord?"

"I'll wait for the order from the Taiwei." Yan Rou stared at Jiewu dissatisfiedly, "Which battlefield is more conducive to the situation in Guanzhong, only the Taiwei knows." Then he raised his whip and pointed at Xiewu's nose and cursed, "You've been in Jinyang for a long time, you have a bad temper, and your eyes have grown to the top of your head. Do you still see me as a superior in your eyes? Do you want to be beaten?"

Xie Wu was too angry and lost his composure just now, but now that he calmed down, he was startled by Yan Rou's yelling, and hurriedly jumped off his horse, bowing respectfully to make amends.

"Get lost..." Yan Rou scolded, "Go back and tell Master Duan to withdraw immediately and prepare to support other battlefields."

The victory drum sounded loudly from the middle battlefield, and the soldiers on the tower raised their hands and cheered.

"Boom boom boom..." The sound of drums in the city immediately soared into the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Chen Wei couldn't hold back for a long time, he dropped his chess pieces and rushed to the edge of the city wall, shouting with the soldiers, completely lost his old demeanor.

Xu Rong put down the chess pieces in his hand, couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, picked up the water bag and took a sip of water slowly.

"My lord, the army on the middle battlefield is being reorganized. We can immediately let them support the right-wing battlefield and encircle the Xiliang army." Chen Wei ran to Xu Rong excitedly and waved his hands, "My lord, give me an order, give me an order!" , we can completely solve the Guanzhong issue in this battle, completely solve it.”

"What about Xiliang's problem?" Xu Rong waved his hand, beckoning him to sit down, and asked with a smile.

Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, "My lord, after the Xiliang army's backup reached the right-wing battlefield, General Li Yao was killed, General Zhang Baiqi struggled to support, and General Yang Ming's Duliao iron cavalry was firmly restrained by the Xiliang people. Now, our army is already inferior to the Xiliang people in terms of strength and physical strength. If we don't take this opportunity to quickly support the right wing, the Xiliang people will retreat calmly, and Han Sui will retreat to Chang'an and hold the city to resist. "

"As long as we wipe out the high-level army and completely kill Yuan Shao's troops in Guanzhong, we can not only take Tongguan and Wuguan, but also completely cut off Han Sui's backup. Han Sui has no food or ammunition in Chang'an. , and there is no Xiliang reinforcements to help him break out of Chang'an, how long can he last?" Xu Rong said casually, while carefully putting the cork on the water bag.

"However, our food and grass are limited. If Han Sui is determined not to withdraw from Guanzhong, and we are unable to take Chang'an for a long time, then the problem will be troublesome. We can neither divide our troops to attack Tongguan and Wuguan, nor can we quickly move westward to stabilize the population. Sanfu, this will seriously affect the imperial court's decision to take Guanzhong quickly, and it will also be very unfavorable for the army to attack Luoyang next year." Chen Wei knew that Xu Rong never forgot to keep the Xiliang Army, and now that the army completely controlled the battlefield situation, he again He is old-fashioned and wants to let the Xiliang army go on purpose again, "My lord, please think twice."

"I must ensure that all high-level officials are wiped out." After a moment of silence, Xu Rong said very resolutely, "On the left-wing battlefield, Yang Feng and Hua Xiong's 5000 troops have been fighting for a day, and they have suffered heavy losses. Now there are at most 1 troops left. People can fight again, but He Feng suffered serious damage on the middle battlefield, and the army basically lost the power to fight again. If these two armies want to enter the battlefield again, they must wait until after dusk at least."

"Now there are 5000 reinforcements from Qu Yi, Pang De, Xian Yuyin and others on the left-wing battlefield. If Yan Rou, Huangfu Li, and Duan Xuan immediately support them, the total strength will be about [-]. The high-ranking army is in the initial fierce battle. Because of the support of the Xiliang iron cavalry, the loss should be similar to ours. After his main support comes up, the total force will be at least [-]."

"That is to say, under normal circumstances, our troops can defeat them, but it is very difficult to encircle them. Our 5000 troops have to surround the senior officials on all sides. The [-] troops are distributed on all sides of the battlefield, and there are not enough troops in every direction. In order to block the high-ranking officials, the high-ranking officials are fully capable of breaking through. In addition, Han Sui still does not know the total number of our reinforcements. He will do his best to rescue the high-ranking officials when the right-wing battlefield is still supported. Fighting like this In the decisive battle, Han Sui must have reserve reinforcements in his hands. After this part of the reinforcements rush up, as long as he hits one side of the battlefield, he will be able to rescue the high-ranking officials. Therefore, if we want to encircle and wipe out the high-ranking officials, we need to concentrate all the troops we can mobilize at present Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to keep all the [-] people in Zhengbaiqu."

"However, if we reinforce the right-wing battlefield and gain an advantage in strength on the right-wing battlefield, the Xiliang army will have to retreat. The defeat of the Xiliang army on the right-wing battlefield will directly affect the battlefield situation. Han Sui's right-wing army may support the left-wing battlefield Under such circumstances, we can only give up the high-ranking officials, withdraw the troops and leave. Although the high-ranking officials may rush out, we have tens of thousands of cavalry, enough to chase and kill Yuan Jun along the way." Chen Wei persuaded, "My lord, we must severely injure Yuan Jun. Otherwise, if Han Sui leads the Xiliang Army back to Chang'an and sticks to it, victory in this battle will be meaningless."

"Zhang Baiqi and Yang Ming's army fought for a day, and it's very good if they can last until dusk. They can't rush to the left-wing battlefield to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of high-ranking officials after defeating the Xiliang army." Xu Rong shook his hand, " There is another point you should be able to imagine, that is, Han Sui will not stick to Chang'an. When the entire army of senior officials was wiped out and Yuan Shao's aid could not be sent to Chang'an, Han Sui would not stick to Chang'an even if he had an army. After Zheng Baiqu was defeated, Han Sui has two paths, one is to submit to the imperial court and retreat to Xiliang, and the other is to stick to Chang'an. The balance between the two, which choice is the most beneficial to him? The most beneficial to Xiliang? Obviously, Han Sui will choose to submit to the imperial court and retreat to Xiliang. "

Chen Wei smiled wryly.In the end, Xu Rong still insisted on his own ideas and did not want to seriously injure the Xiliang Army.

"The strength of the two sides in this battle is close. If we want to achieve the goal of the war, we must suffer heavy losses. The current loss of the army has exceeded our expectations. This is very unfavorable for the army to attack Kansai and Luoyang. Fighting Luoyang requires troops, but in the short term we Unable to get additional troops, we can only take as many prisoners as possible in this battle." Xu Rong stretched out his hand to pick up a chess piece, and gently turned it between his fingers, "Do you understand now?"

Chen Wei nodded.It is easy to defeat the high-ranking army, but it is not an easy task to surround these 3 people, annihilate them, and force the enemy to surrender.Now fighting in Guanzhong and in a decisive battle in the wild, the number of iron cavalry directly determines the outcome of the battle, but when it comes to fighting Kansai, which has many passes, and Luoyang, the capital, the number of iron cavalry will not be decisive. Army of soldiers.The size of the infantry army will directly determine whether the army can conquer Luoyang.

"Order." Xu Rong said with a faint smile, "We fought this battle not only for victory, but also to drive Xiliang people back to defend the western border, and to encircle Luoyang as soon as possible and complete the preparations to recover Luoyang. I hope this One fight will achieve all our goals."

Chen Wei bowed to accept the order, urgently told Yan Rou, Huangfu Li, and Duan Xuan to ask the three adults to immediately lead the army to support the left-wing battlefield and obey General Qu Yi's command.

"Send someone to meet Wei Jun again, and ask him to speed up, support the right-wing battlefield, and try to force the Xiliang people back before dusk."

Xu Rong looked up at the increasingly red sun in the western sky, stretched lazily, then sat up straight, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Wen Xin, you seem to be about to lose, you are about to lose in the middle game. "

"Really?" Chen Wei sat on the table, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Master Huangfu's chess strength is still not enough."

"It's not that his chess strength is not enough, but your chess strength is getting worse and worse." Xu Rong smiled, "You are Mr. Shui Jing's disciple, this kind of chess strength will insult his old man's reputation."
