Chapter 1750 Huguan Death Battle Six

This was a tragic battle. The Wei army attacked fiercely, and they exhausted all their strength to resist.

"Our troops suffered over a thousand battle losses!"

Ma Liang's pale face lacked a trace of blood, but his eyes were blood red like a bunny.

This battle was fought too fiercely.

His men almost collapsed.

If it weren't for Fu Gang and Huang Ming leading the army up quickly, the soldiers under his command might turn back, and he might be the first to die at that time.

"Three hundred of our troops died in battle, and more than four hundred were injured, of which more than 100 were seriously injured. Basically, they have no combat effectiveness. It's hard to say whether they can be recovered!"

Fu Gang wrapped the cloth around his neck, and the cloth was soaked with blood.

The left side of his neck was brushed by the drain. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been directly blocked by an arrow.

On the battlefield, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can block all attacks.

Man is always a body.

In this kind of high-density war, there are attacks all around, and it is difficult to take care of everything, so maybe an ordinary loss can kill a tough general.

"Our battalion suffered relatively few battle losses. More than 38 people died in battle, and [-] were wounded. Among them, [-] were seriously injured. All of them have been placed in the wounded battalion in the city gate. The rest of the lightly wounded soldiers can continue to fight after being bandaged!"

Huang Ming reported in a low voice.

Huangfu Jianshou's pupils were a little gloomy, with such casualties, he had already touched a bottom line.

continue like this

It doesn't take a few days for him to wipe out all the troops in his hands.

Although Huguan is the necessary pass for Hanoi to enter Shangdang, Huguan is not a grand pass in the world. It is not as dangerous as Yanmen Pass, Yumen Pass, and Hulao Pass.

Even the Hangu Pass, which has been abandoned for many years, and the newly established Tongguan Pass are much steeper than Huguan Pass.

Huguan's defensive power is not very strong, it can only allow the Ming army to occupy a better geographical advantage, and the Wei army's strength advantage can be completely wiped out.

The Wei army outside has absolute ability, and has exhausted all the troops in his hands. When the time comes, if he really wants to escape, he may not be able to escape.

But time is always an issue.

If we lure the enemy to go deep now and release the first battalion of the Artillery Army directly, it will not last for a few days, and once the Wei army is prepared, it will be difficult for him to even win an absolute victory.

Although the artillery army is strong, it needs to be under certain conditions to be lethal. Just like the archer, once it is close, it will be useless.

So he became slightly hesitant.

Whether to continue to use these soldiers to fight desperately, or to break out a decisive battle in advance, with the powerful combat effectiveness of the artillery army, the Wei army was caught off guard.

"Ma Liang!"

"exist!"

"Are you still able to fight?" Huangfu Jianshou looked at Ma Liang with a gloomy gaze. Ma Liang impressed him a little. Although this young man who was born as a scholar may not have enough experience, he is quite capable in terms of ability. It's amazing.

In such a high-intensity battle, he had even prepared for the worst, that is, the soldiers and horses of Ma Liang's department would be crushed by the tremendous pressure.

In fact, the soldiers of Ma Liang's tribe have very low tolerance. Since they fell into a bitter battle, some soldiers have been disturbed, and some soldiers have become deserters regardless of their own safety.

But Ma Liang was always able to control the situation. Even in the most difficult time, he did not let his subordinates mess up. This ability made him Huangfu Jianshou look up to him with admiration.

He wanted to see now whether Ma Liang could hold back these captive soldiers.

"can!"

Ma Liang said: "It may be difficult to send them all to the battlefield. Now they are all frightened birds, frightened by the strong pressure and death scene on the battlefield. Many people are a little afraid of death and dare not continue to go to the battlefield. There are even some people who want to be deserters at any cost, and are unwilling to go to the battlefield, but I can draw three to five thousand captives who have meritorious ideas and want to settle in the Ming court to form soldiers and horses that have always been capable of fighting, and go to the city wall Fighting, it should be no problem to defend the city for a while!"

He smiled and continued: "General Huangfu, although under the high pressure of the enemy troops, our army's morale has been broken a lot, but this is not a kind of experience for them. As long as they dare to stand up, go When they go to the battlefield, they are no longer recruits, they are veterans who can survive the battlefield!"

New recruits and veterans, that's a completely different concept. No matter how hard the training is, once they don't adapt to the battlefield, their mentality will collapse when they go to the battlefield.

Sometimes on the battlefield, mentality is very important, and a veteran has this kind of fearless mentality, which can make him disregard life and death even more when fighting.

"That's good!"

Huangfu Jianshou took a deep breath: "We will continue to defend. We have suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties outside the city will not be less than ours. Now they are going to attack to the death. It depends on whoever can survive, and who can survive is the victory. It is a credit to live in time!"

He looked at Ma Liang, Fu Gang, and Huang Ming, and said in a low voice: "This battle is not only about our life and death, but behind us is His Majesty. All of you know this well, and ours The main force is still in the north, if we can't hold it, the enemy army will cross Huguan Pass and drive straight in, when His Majesty is in danger, how can we face the tens of millions of people of Ming Dynasty!"

"So in this battle, we actually have no choice but to fight to the death. Even if we all die here, we must delay enough time. If we delay them, we will win!"

Huangfu Jianshou's words were firm and powerful, and with firm belief, made the hearts of several school captains feel a sense of awe, and made up their minds.

"Only fight to the death!"

The three of them gritted their teeth and repeated Huangfu Jianshou's words word by word.

Mu Jing's prestige in the army cannot be duplicated, not only because he won the battle, but also because he gave him the status of a soldier.

Since ancient times, reading is the most important thing, and the status of soldiers and civilians has never been equal. Especially during the Taiping period, scholars have always looked down on soldiers.

And the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not ordinary people, but a kind of honor, which makes many soldiers agree with the imperial court much more deeply than civil servants.

"Arm!"

Huangfu Jianshou said: "The enemy is attacking, you fight together, when you are resting, take turns standing guard, don't let go of any chance!"

"Yes!"

The three nodded.

When the three of them went to rectify the soldiers under their command, Huangfu Jianshou looked at the Wei army's camp that was getting closer and closer to the city, and he felt a pressure in his heart.

"General, at this distance, we can cover them all under artillery fire!"

A school lieutenant appeared beside Huangfu Jianshou.

"Huangfuan!"

When Huangfu Jianshou saw the person coming, he just shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "You only see one, not the other!"

He pointed to the Wei army camp outside the city, and said: "Wei army has suffered a lot. I don't believe they will stop our artillery fire, so let me tell you, if I guess correctly, half of the camp in front of us is Empty, most of the tents are just for us to see!"

"what?"

Huangfu An stared.

He can be regarded as Huangfu Jianshou's cousin, but it is a relatively distant one, but he is also one of the few remaining backbones of Huangfu's family.

Back then Huangfu Song died in battle for the great man, countless members of the Huangfu family died in battle, and those who survived were all the younger generation.

Huangfu An has good martial arts skills and abilities, and he is someone Huangfu Jianshou trusts more.

Among the twelve battalions of the artillery army, the first battalion is the main force, the battalion with the most artillery, the largest scale, and the strongest combat effectiveness.

It was also a battalion that Huangfu Jianshou visited in person, but as a general, Huangfu Jianshou couldn't do everything by himself, so he handed over the first battalion to Huangfu'an.

He trusted Huangfu'an, and Huangfu'an was already a school lieutenant when he formed the Artillery Battalion, and there was no problem with his superior position, there was no such thing as a private transfer, even in front of Mujing, he had a clear conscience.

However, although Huangfu An's ability is strong, he just can't hold his breath, so Huangfu Jianshou often keeps the first battalion by his side, so that he can watch Huangfu An.

"How is this possible?" Huangfu An frowned: "General, they can't possibly know that our artillery is aiming at them!"

"It's not the first time the artillery has been on the battlefield. Now it's the second time. Once in Wancheng, the Wei army was defeated. The Wei army will definitely devote a lot of energy to us!"

Huangfu Jianshou said: "Your Majesty said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is no paper that can hold fire, so the existence of the Artillery Army, from your point of view, is known to very few people, even There are few generals in the Ming army who can know clearly, so it is impossible for the enemy to know, if you have such an idea, then you are very wrong!"

Huangfu An smiled wryly: "I really thought they wouldn't know that our artillery has already been transported to the city wall!"

"Don't underestimate any enemy!"

Huangfu Jianshou said: "This is a sentence my father taught me back then. On the battlefield, there is no absolute victory. As long as you are absolutely careful, we must be cautious enough and prepare for the worst!"

He pointed to the outside of the city: "It doesn't matter if we can hold on now, but once the Wei army's attack has made us unable to hold down the city wall, then Huangfu'an, your task has come, you must take the first battalion All the cannons were shot out, and then the cannons were blown up, leaving no one behind!"

He sighed, although there was some blood in his heart, but on the battlefield, the most unacceptable thing is this kind of unwillingness, which can easily make people make wrong decisions.

"General, our artillery is difficult to manufacture. There are hundreds of them. If you don't want it, don't you?" Huangfu'an was very unwilling. Carry these artillery back.

Without artillery, is his first battalion still an artillery army?
"The need on the battlefield is not negotiable, and I feel distressed, but as long as we can win this battle, we can have as many artillery pieces as we want in the future!"

He patted Huangfu'an on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry too much about it, the first-generation artillery is supposed to be replaced, so you can change your equipment better!"

"Hope it!"

Huangfu'an still couldn't laugh, it wasn't that he was stingy, but that after he had seen the power of the artillery, when the first-generation red-clothed cannon was fired from his hand, he felt a secret shock, and now there is no way to erase it. It must be very uncomfortable for him to destroy such an artifact by himself.

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

Under the city, Wei Jun camp.

Lu Bu sat cross-legged on a high position, his eyes had a serious light, which swept across, and finally landed on the middle-aged man in the green robe.

Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, General of the Night Tower.

He handles intelligence.

Take charge of the army yourself.

Moreover, I and Xiliang didn't have much to talk about, so I rarely communicated with each other, and I was a little surprised when they suddenly appeared.

Jia Xu came to send news, and he also got an order to help Lu Bu break through Huguan, so he appeared here.

"General Jia Zhonglang, I don't know if there is any news that I want you to go there in person?" Lu Bu was still polite.

Now under the same roof, if they want to have conflicts, they can't. Not to mention that Cao Cao is watching, even without Cao Cao, they are not in the mood to fight now.

The current situation is that if Mujing is not dead, all of them will have no way out in the end, so the only way to have a future is to kill Mujing.

"I did come to send a message!"

Jia Xu said calmly.

In fact, he didn't hate Lu Bu much. When he joined Dong Zhuo's command, he himself was not reconciled. It was because of Li Ru that he chose to believe it once, but in the end it proved that his trust was betrayed. Heart, after taking control of the court, has almost disappeared, and is arrogant and conceited, and can't listen to anyone's advice at all.

So Dong Zhuo will die in battle in the end, in fact, he is not surprised at all.

However, as a descendant of Xiliang, he couldn't get along with someone like Lu Bu who destroyed Xiliang's forces single-handedly, and there was still some estrangement.

But in the current situation, he will not lose his temper.

He cupped his hands and said: "Yelou got the news that above the Huguan, there is the most mysterious combat power of the Ming army, the existence of the Artillery Army. It's just that it is difficult for my Yelou spies to infiltrate and get more information. I just want to remind General Lu, don't repeat what happened in the battle of Wancheng!"

"Artillery Army!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth every word.

He is no stranger to this soldier and horse. After all, he is also a general of the Wei Army and one of the witnesses of the Battle of Wancheng.

The failure of the Wancheng Battle back then, and the defeat was so tragic, he never thought about it, and this was basically a sudden arrival of troops from the Ming army.

The scene covered by artillery fire often appeared in his nightmares.

"Are you sure?" Lu Bu asked sullenly.

"Sure!"

Jia Xu said: "But the specific news is not very certain. How many and how powerful the combat power is, these are hard to figure out!"

He sighed: "Jing Wusi of the Ming Army has already smelled my scent, and I have no way to infiltrate it!"

Jingwusi and Yelou have been fighting for many years, Yelou has always been at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to have a chance to fight back.

But this time, it was a bite that made Ye Lou succeed in counterattacking.

But even so, Jing Wusi's reaction still surprised him a bit, and the intelligence network he quickly adjusted quickly lost his advantage.
