Chapter 1747 Huguan Death Battle III

The reason why Huangfu Jianshou took the initiative to attack was to delay the time and suppress the edge of Wei Jun, so that he could have a chance to let his artillery army play its due role.

Although weapons are strong, on the battlefield, talents are fundamental.

Morale is what matters.

If Wei Jun looked at death like home and stormed Huguan, he might not be able to stop it. Even with the combat effectiveness of the first battalion of the Artillery Army, he would fall.

But if they suppress the Wei army's offensive and suppress the Wei army with artillery, then this time can be prolonged.

He knew very well that Huguan could not stop the Wei army, even if it blocked the vanguard of the Wei army, it would be destroyed by the main force of the Wei army rushing forward.

So delaying time is his only strategic goal. For this strategic goal, he can pay for the third and fourth battalions of the Zhaoming First Army, and he can also pay for the [-] captive soldiers under Ma Liang. The artillery army in his hand The first battalion can also be paid for.

For the sake of grand strategy, sacrifice is inevitable.

This point is some of the battlefield knowledge that his late father once handed over to him. He didn't understand it very well before, but after he became a general of the artillery army and was qualified to overlook the entire battlefield, he I have a deep understanding of this sentence.

………………

After the main force of the two battalions gathered, they quickly left the city.

They split up.

Twenty miles away from the left and right, they took the official road all the way and the small road all the way, and they were marching forward. Their scouts had already gone to find out the news in advance.

And less than [-] miles away from them, the vanguard of Wei Jun's vanguard army has already begun to march towards Huguan.

The main general is Song Xian, and Song Xian is also one of the generals under Lu Bu's command. The main force under Lu Bu's command is still the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry.

Therefore, this army of soldiers and horses was completely controlled by Lu Bu.

This is Lu Bu's only reliance in this chaotic world. Even if it arouses Cao Cao's fear, he will not let it go easily.

As a child who grew up on the prairie, Lu Bu's sense of security is very low. He only details himself, and the people around him, he dare not believe absolutely. The generals under his command, except Gao Shun, can make him absolutely trust Yes, basically none.

But like Song Xian, Hao Meng and other generals, he still has some trust. After all, he has followed him from the grassland to the north and south. After more than ten years, he has already been inseparable from him.

"Lord Colonel, after passing the mountain road ahead, we can enter the official road. Along the official road, we can directly enter the pass city of Huguan!"

The Scout Marquis rode his horse back from the front and reported.

"Continue to explore!" Song Xian was more mature, and he said to Junhou: "Find a suitable place to camp under Huguan City, camp down, cut wood and make tools, wait for the main force, and then attack the city!"

"Yes!"

The Scout Marquis moved forward.

"Pass the order, the whole army speeds up, cross the mountain road as soon as possible, enter the official road, wait until the Huguan city, camp down, and rest!"

"Yes!"

All the military lords took orders one after another, and the speed of the march also accelerated a lot.

Song Xian raised his head and looked at the sky. Half a day was about to pass. Lu Bu ordered them to set up camp under Huguan City within half a day, that is, before dark.

In this way, the main force can be covered to reach the city of Huguan as soon as possible and besiege Huguan.

It's just that Song Xian didn't expect that the march was not as smooth as he expected, and he almost fell into a big somersault.

Under his command, the three thousand are all elites, but just now, they were attacked by a sudden army.

"kill!"

"The traitor of the Wei army in front, die!"

"Archers, take cover!"

"The Spear Trilogy attacks with all its strength!"

"Taking advantage of their unsteady footing, push them over and kill one of them!"

The connection between the official road and the mountain road used by this army has a relatively perfect cover, and the speed of killing is also fast.

So after a face-to-face meeting, more than one-third of Song Xian's trilogy had been killed or injured.

This made Song Xian both surprised and angry.

He waved his weapon, cut down the arrows, and let out a long cry: "The whole army retreated ten steps, formed an array, gathered in two steps on the left and right, and the shield soldiers quickly stepped forward to block it!"

His reaction is not slow.

But the Ming army did their calculations mentally and unintentionally.

In Song Xian's subconscious mind, he believed that Huguan would defend the city, so the Ming army in Huguan suddenly rushed out of the city gate, leaving him no time to react.

"Go to the left, go to the open space to the left, and use the mountain as a cover!" Song Xian is not an incompetent general. He has followed Lu Bu for many years, and his ability to deploy troops is not weak. Under such circumstances, he quickly found A space that can avoid the impact of the Ming army.

As long as the main force moves to the left to avoid the sharp edge, then they will have time and space to rearrange.

But Song Xian did not expect that from the left wing path, another group of Ming troops appeared even more fierce, and the captain and general who led this group of soldiers and horses was young and strong, and he was familiar with the art of war. Fu Gang.

"The vanguard is not allowed to stop, charge directly to the formation, rush over, penetrate their army formation, and divide the Wei army into two!" Fu Gang appeared in the direction of the left wing because he took a small path, but it also delayed a lot of time, so They couldn't cooperate with Huang Mingying's main force.

But at this time, the strength of the Wei army was directly forced by Huang Ming's main battalion from the official road to the left wing, that is, it was directly exposed to the direct attack range.

Of course he is not polite: "Kill!"

With an order, the main force under his command rushed up like a torrent.

"Damn!"

"How could this be?"

"It's careless!"

Song Xian howled angrily, but it didn't help.

He has only one way now, and that is to break his arm to survive. If he doesn't want the whole army to be wiped out here, he can only give up the soldiers and horses that entered the Ming army's attack range.

"withdraw!"

"Wei army generals, retreat quickly!"

"Rush back out!"

Song Xian screamed desperately.

However, there are only a few Wei army generals who can break out of the encirclement circle under the hedge of the Ming army. Even if Song Xian is added, there are less than a thousand soldiers.

They fled in desperation, did not dare to turn back, took the road along the way, gave up everything they could, and ran for their lives with high efficiency, which allowed them, a group of remnant soldiers, to escape the Ming army's pursuit.

But most of the rest of the main force were wiped out by the Ming army.

The fighting power under the confrontation between the two battalions directly disintegrated the fighting spirit of these Wei soldiers. When Song Xian led the remnants to withdraw from the battlefield, the remaining Wei soldiers lost any fighting spirit.

"This battle was fought with ease!"

Fu Gang jumped off his horse, covered in blood, and burst out laughing.

"Have no intention to calculate with your heart!"

Huang Ming also came up, looking at the messy battlefield, the corner of his mouth could not help but raise a faint smile: "Your Majesty used to regard General Huangfu Song as the only remaining military god of the great man, but now we, General Huangfu Jianshou, Although he may not be able to inherit General Huangfusong's talent, but the tiger father has no dogs, he is still a bit capable!"

After winning the battle, they naturally regarded Huangfu Jianshou who proposed the battle as one of their own.

A person who struggles with life and death on the battlefield is just so straightforward.

Who is a friend, who should be respected, they don't look at character, appearance, or family background, they just look at who can make them win the battle.

"Do you want to continue chasing for a while?"

Fu Gang was a little unwilling, and said: "As long as you give me a day, I can drive out this group of remnants!"

"no need!"

However, Huang Ming shook his head: "If you see a good deal, we will accept it. If we meet the main force of the Wei army, we will be the ones who will be driven to death. If we are blocked under the pass, it will be troublesome. Clean up the battlefield, gather the prisoners, and then hurry back Arm your defenses. If the Wei army is defeated, they may not give up. Lu Bu may become angry and attack our Huguan, and defending Huguan is our fundamental task!"

"Ok!"

Fu Gang recognized this, so even though he was a little bit unwilling, he tidied up the battlefield obediently, and then the soldiers of the two battalions brought some battle armor, weapons, broken battle flags, and prisoners, and began to return to Huguan.

..............................

night.

The night is awe-inspiring, the stars and the moon are dark.

In a temporary camp, Lu Bu's deep face had an awe-inspiring aura, and the cold and stern aura seemed to make the surrounding temperature drop a bit.

"Ambush?"

His eyes, gloomy as water, stared at the messy Song Xian.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish him!"

Song Xian knelt down and pleaded guilty in a low voice.

Thousands of pioneers thought they could go straight to Huguan Chengguan, but they didn't expect that they were ambushed halfway, and they could get them back, but there were only more than [-] soldiers left.

Such a tragic defeat cast a haze over their vanguard army.

The strength of the Ming army made it famous all over the world.

But strong is strong, they dare to go to the battlefield, dare to fight life and death, naturally they will not be afraid, but before the battle, they will lose for a while, and their pride will drop quickly.

At this time, many soldiers and generals were underestimating whether they could fight against the Ming army.

"Humph!"

Lv Bu snorted coldly, and smashed a roll of bamboo slips and books in his hand: "Before the battle is defeated, the momentum has plummeted, how do you let me continue to charge and attack the city!"

He came all the way, with momentum like a rainbow. After arriving at Huguan, he will definitely go all out. Even if he can't attack Huguan, he will be able to hold Huguan.

But now their main force has not yet entered the Huguan battlefield, and a vanguard force has been crushed to death by the arrogance of the Ming army's initiative to attack.

There are not many troops in Huguan, this is for sure. If the main force of the Ming army still has a large-scale main force in Huguan, their Wei army would not dare to come up at all.

It's just that even though there were not many troops, those Ming troops were still so strong, fierce, and fearless of death, which made Lu Bu a little annoyed.

"The final death penalty!"

Song Xian buried his head down, pleading in grief and indignation: "General, please give me one more chance. I am willing to lead the soldiers who dare to die, and charge into the battle. It is really under the city of Huguan!"

His words eased Lu Bu's expression a lot. Although Lu Bu was regarded by outsiders as a family slave with three surnames, he was born in Bingzhou, and he had been rolling on the battlefield for many years. Alright, this is how he, a general who has no roots and no territory, can continue to be surrounded by these generals.

"Get up first, and explain the matter in detail!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Song Xian stood up with a smear of blood on his face, but he didn't care about it. He directly reported the face of the direct encounter, appropriately increased the description of the Ming army's strength, and enlarged the description of the terrain. Construct yourself into a general who fought hard but failed, and withdrew with tears in his eyes.

Lu Bu still had a deep understanding of Song Xian, and he could get a lot of information from Song Xian's words, which made him a little worried.

"The Ming army took the initiative to attack, there must be a conspiracy!"

Lu Bu paced back and forth, his eyes deep and uncertain.

He is just a general, not a counselor, and his subordinates are all generals, and there are few counselors, so he really can't figure out this kind of scratching his head.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he finds it out, the news will be sent back to Cao Cao. If there is any problem, Cao Cao will send someone to pass it on to him.

"General, we have lost the opportunity now!" Gao Shun stood beside him, facing Lu Bu, and said in a low voice, "Either Bingzhou Flying Riders will attack and defeat them directly, or I will go up first in the camp and suppress them. Don't let them go out of the city to fight!"

They all thought that the main force of the Ming army would hide in Huguan, but they didn't expect their daring attack. In the first battle, they killed thousands of their pioneers. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that such a War will definitely affect the morale of the army.

So they need more time to revive the morale of the army, but they can't give the enemy a chance to make trouble.

It was the only option for the Ming army blocking Huguan to come out.

Lu Bu thought for a while, and said: "Although the main force of the Ming army at Huguan has not been fully grasped at Yelou, they dared to attack, but they gave me some ideas. I think their main force is not many. If they can guard Huguan They don't need to attack when Guan's soldiers are approaching, because it's too risky!"

He sticks to the strategic analysis on the battlefield.

But he himself may not be able to get any effect from these analyzes, because his wisdom is only limited to the layout of the battlefield.

"Since they attacked, it means that they want to delay our attack on Huguan by damaging morale!"

Gao Shun added, his eyes burning brightly: "From another point of view, at this time of Huguan, it may be empty and there are not many troops!"

"So let's be fast!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth: "Take a full night's rest tonight, and march immediately tomorrow morning. I want to put the main force under Huguan as soon as possible, and I can't give the Ming army a chance to defeat them one by one!"

It may be a stupid thing for him to divide his troops, but he never thought that the Ming army would dare to walk out of Huguan, this was his negligence.

"Yes!"

The generals take the lead! "

........................

Under the same night cover, Huguan was full of whistling and joyful sounds.

"Destroyed the enemy's vanguard, beheaded more than a thousand, and captured more than a thousand. This battle is a good fight!"

Huangfu Jianshou applauded the main force of the two battalions who returned to Huguan in the middle of the night.

"Thank you, General Huangfu, for your praise!"

The two lieutenants were quite tired, but at this moment, they also tried their best to report the battle with Huangfu Jianshou carefully.

"The enemy's vanguard was broken by us. Next, they will either shrink back or go crazy. I think they will go crazy first!"

Huangfu Jianshou considered it for a while: "Captain Huang, Captain Fu, you two battalions have worked hard, the main force will rest first, and I will give you a day!"

"Yes!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Order Ma Liang to lead the army to the top of the city, to monitor the movement of the city day and night, and if you find anything, immediately light the beacon!"

"Yes!"
