Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 203 Attacking the Mind to Induce Surrender (Fourth Watch Subscription)

Chapter 207

Gu Huizhi went on to say: "Our morale is low and we have no will to fight. It is the best way to retreat and meet with Da Sima. On the way back to the south, the Wei army will definitely lay an ambush layer by layer. Now, the Wei army is dispatched to annihilate our troops. There are more than [-] people..."

Having said this, Gu Huizhi's expression became strange.He turned to look at Zhou Chudao: "General, the Wei army almost came out in full force. Luoyang will definitely guard the emptiness. If the general dies and survives, instead of retreating, he will directly attack Luoyang. If he is conquered, use the Luoyang city wall to resist. , continue to retreat northward, take advantage of Luoyang’s northern Mang Mountain danger, and defend on the spot, waiting for Da Sima’s reinforcements!”

At this moment, "Dong Dong" the sound of Wei Jun's war drums suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the Wei army began to attack, and the long-range forces of the Wei army, archers, crossbowmen, Huihui guns, and eight-ox crossbows began to slowly leave the formation.

Countless soldiers of the Wei army began to quickly add stone bullets to the return guns and string arrows to the eight-ox crossbow.

Zhou Chu wore two pieces of armor and held a newly cast double-hook spear in Xifu. He rode in the lead and shouted: "All generals, follow me to attack Luoyang! Now the Wei soldiers are all in formation outside the city, and the defense in the city must be empty. Our army We will be able to conquer them in a single battle!"

It will be the courage of the soldiers, Zhou Chu did not mention retreating, but continued to attack Luoyang.

It was this bloody breath that slowly raised the morale of the Xifu soldiers who were originally low.

The Jin army, Zhou Chu, did not retreat to the south, which seemed to be beyond the expectation of the Wei army. For a while, the two armies slowly opened up the distance.Because the Wei army's return guns and eight-ox crossbows were in front of the formation, they prevented the Wei army from attacking quickly. When the Wei army moved away the heavy machinery such as the return guns and eight-ox crossbows, the forward of the Jin army had already reached three miles away. .

In other words, when Zhou Chu decided to attack Luoyang to the north, the troops only advanced a few miles before encountering the Wei army who was hastily forming a formation to meet them.

Seeing that there were too few enemies, Zhou Chu shouted: "All officers and men, let's see that I will kill the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Chu's solo rider rushed a hundred steps away.The blocking forces of the Wei army hurriedly shot arrows to block the attack, while Zhou Chu, like Ran Min, relied on his own solid armor and was not afraid.

The arrows of the soldiers of the Wei army only shot at Zhou Chu's body and did not harm him.He is a famous general under Huan Wen's account.Together with Deng Xia and Mao Hu, they are called the Three Tigers of the West Mansion, and they are basically called the Four Tigers of the West Mansion together with Huan Shiqian.

Zhou Chu's force was extraordinary, and he could hold a frightened horse with both hands.

It is said that a war horse in the army was frightened at that time, and it jumped out of the fence and went straight to the tent of the Chinese army.Zhou Chu, who was the general of Xifu at the time, was fearless in the face of danger, stretched out his hands, and suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse.No matter how the horse struggled, it couldn't move a bit.The sergeant of Xifu was very surprised when he saw this scene.Seeing this, Huan Wen praised, "Chu Zhen is a warrior!"

The double-hooked spear drew an arc in Zhou Chu's hands, like a sharp wedge piercing the Wei army's infantry formation, turning people upside down wherever they went.Zhou Chu used his gun like the wind to kill more than [-] people in a row. Seeing this scene, the other Wei soldiers ran away in a panic!
"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

Zhou Chu charged into the battle alone, one against a hundred, as if entering an uninhabited land, immediately aroused the applause of Zhou Chu's soldiers, earth-shattering, and morale boosted.

A few li away from the Zhou and Chu troops of the Jin army, a scribe in a white cloak with big sleeves rode his horse at the head of the team.This person is none other than Yang Hui.exist
On Yang Hui's side were Chariot General Zhang Wen, Zhu Gong with bandaged wounds, Ran Ming's apprentice Wei Feng, Liu Ke and others.

"A great talent who joins the army, strategizes, and has exhaustive strategies. He has the wisdom of the ancient Zifang and Zhuge!" Seeing Zhou Chu retreating north and preparing to take Luoyang, Zhang Wen sincerely praised.

It turned out that this time, Wei Jun was also taking risks.

After all, it was only sixty or seventy miles away from Peng Po Town. If Zhou Chu's troops were ambushed in the south, Huan Wen would take advantage of it if the battle did not go well.

Maybe the ambush failed, but Huan Wen was flanked by Huan Wen from inside and outside, changing from a big victory to a big defeat.So Yang Hui started to lay out the ambush army in the south. There was only one Modao army. The crossbowmen, cart crossbows, Huihui guns, and cavalry combined had less than [-] soldiers and horses.

Yang Hui's strategy was to encircle on three sides, false and solid. Because of the Yishui River in the east, there were not too many ambush troops, only a mere three thousand soldiers and horses. The other ambush troops were a strategy of using flags to confuse Zhou Chu.

At that time, Zhou Chu was not cruel. If he had to cross the Yishui River at all costs, although there would be losses in the end, he would definitely be able to break through.

It was difficult to retreat to the south, but he did not know that the Modao army needed to rest after the bloody battle.The current soldiers of the Mo Dao Army, in addition to the crossbowmen, cart crossbows, return guns, and cavalry, are still capable of fighting, but the Mo Dao hand is a bit difficult to even lift the sword.Surrounded on all sides, two lives and two deaths, but Zhou Chu chose the path of death and no life.

Zhang Wen didn't pay much attention to the result of this battle. Relying on the strength of Wei Jun, he could completely confront Huan Wen head-on at this time.

However, in this way, the loss is definitely not small.According to Ran Ming's letter and the meaning revealed in Ran Min's imperial decree, these are all the people of the big man, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and the best policy is not to kill them all, but to obtain the results at the smallest cost.

Zhang Wen was very surprised by this Yang Hui. Yang Hui's reaction to Zhou Chu in this battle was almost entirely in Yang Hui's calculations.This made Zhang Wen very strange. Before, during the Battle of Liantai, he had seen this kind of strategizing in Ran Ming, which was considered exhaustive.

Zhang Wen also lamented Ran Ming's military training methods. He thought that Ran Min was the best in military training in this world.Anyone under Ran Min's hands will be reborn within half a year, but Ran Ming's opinion of Zhang Wen is the most surprising.

Although Luozhou Xin has only been in the army for a short time, his performance is remarkable. Zhang Wen admires Ran Ming's Modao Army even more.

The intense murderous intent displayed by the Mo Dao Army, the method of killing the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables, had not been ordered by Ran Ming, and the crossbowmen, cart crossbows, and Huihuipao were not allowed to launch unless it was a last resort. attack.I'm afraid that Zhou Chu's [-] soldiers and horses will be defeated every time the Modao army attacks.

Yang Hui was praised by Zhang Wen, blushed, and said a little embarrassedly: "How can Hui gain such virtue, it's just parroting his words and relaying His Highness's strategy."

Only then did Wei Feng, Liu Ke and the rest of Ran Ming's apprentices show joy.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chu attacked Luoyang, he found that Luoyang was tightly defended, and the defenders exceeded [-] people, so he could not capture it at all.

Only then did Zhou Chu realize that he might have fallen into Wei Jun's scheme.There was no other way, now that the way back was cut off, he had no choice but to go down hard. There was no way out for Xiangnan at this time, so Zhou Chu led an army of less than [-] people around Luoyang City and arrived at Mangshan Mountain.Guarding several dangerous hills of Mang Mountain, a rescue messenger was sent to Huan Wen.

Huan Wen had previously captured Zhou Chu, caught up with Zhu Gong's troops, and started a fierce battle with his troops.

The battle went smoothly, and within an hour, the record of annihilating Zhu Gong's troops could be achieved.

But before Huan Wen had time to celebrate the joy of this victory, a bad news came.

Huan Wen was so frightened that he lost his mind.

Lu Hun's [-] shi grain was stolen by ghosts and gods.

His fourth brother, Huan Mi, was taken away in front of Lu Hun's thousands of soldiers, and his life and death are still unknown.However, two days later, Huan Wen still hadn't recovered from the grief of losing his fourth brother's military rations, and then he received Zhou Chu who was surrounded by the Wei army. After three days, if there is no reinforcements, the whole army will be defeated.

Huan Wen didn't want to destroy the state of Wei, but only wanted to seek stability, and used the Jin army's low-ranking and ordinary people's desire to regain their homes to earn prestige.

But now, the Northern Expedition has failed.

He had to accept the fact that the more than [-] troops in Pengpo Town had only half a month's rations left.Lu Hun's food has disappeared.Regarding the theory of ghosts and gods, Huan Wen didn't believe in the five ghosts transporting food, the bull's head and the horse's face seducing the soul.

Whether Huan Wen believes it or not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Now the soldiers of the Jin army in Pengpo Town are panicking, burning incense and bowing to the sky from time to time.

This time, Huan Wen did not show his habit of respecting corporals, but directly ordered Meng Jia to negotiate peace with Wei Jun on his behalf.

Of course Huan Wen knew that Wei Guo did not come here to eliminate him, and destroying himself would certainly cause heavy losses to Jin State.It is impossible to go north for a short time, but the Jin army will benefit the most. If it does not have itself, the Jin Dynasty will definitely be difficult to integrate with the Wei State.

Huan Wen remembered Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, the world is divided into three points.

Occupied Jingzhou by himself and captured Yizhou.As long as Yizhou and Jingzhou are in hand, with soldiers and generals in hand, there is still a chance to win the world!
Huan Wen told Meng Jia his bottom line, and he withdrew from Luozhou and Yuzhou, and made borders with Wei and Nanyang.

Mang Mountain, located on the south bank of the Yellow River and north of Luoyang, is also called Beimang Mountain.Mang Mountain is a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang, and it is also a strategic military location.Ran Ming has returned from Luqing, and quietly transported the [-] shi of grain that Huan Wen stored in Luqing City into Luoyang by sled.

One hundred thousand shi of grain not only greatly eased the food crisis of the Wei army.It can even be distributed to the people who are short of grain in the form of credit during spring plowing.As long as the [-] shi of grain is in hand, at least Wei Guo can gain a firm foothold in Luozhou.People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Ran Ming learns that Zhou Chu's troops have fallen into the trap he designed by mistake, and nearly ten thousand soldiers are entrenched on the seven hills, large and small, near Cuiyun Peak and others.

Mang Mountain is the remnant of Qinling Mountains and a branch of Xiao Mountain.Although the altitude is not high, it is also considered steep. If you attack the mountain by force, you will definitely lose a lot!
A strong attack is a tough battle where one thousand deadly enemies and eight hundred self-inflicted injuries are the last thing Ran Ming wants to fight.

Ran Ming ordered the troops to surround all the passages down the mountain, and each department used the name of lighting wolf smoke during the day and bonfires at night. When one department received the enemy's situation, the nearby troops must rush to help as quickly as possible.

To prevent Zhou Chu from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Ran Mingdang was not idle.
