The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 872 The Brave Wins
In addition to Liu Bian personally going into battle to boost morale and shocking the morale of the Han army, the most terrifying thing was Xue Rengui.

Jurchen soldiers and horses swarmed in, and there were always generals in command at the base of the city, but Xue Rengui's arrows were not empty, and he shot back and forth from the top of the Sifang City, and after turning around, he shot and killed a dozen Jurchen generals.

The general is the soul of the soldier. Without the command of the general, the soldier is like a headless chicken. A ferocious tiger has no eyes and cannot catch prey.

One or two generals are okay, but as the losses of generals increase, from centurion to thousand commander, Xue Rengui even shot and killed several ten thousand commanders.Even Wanyan Zongwang couldn't bear this loss.

"General Qi, General Wanyanwu was shot and killed by a Han general, and there is no one in command at the East Gate!"

"General Qi, General Tie Shiwen was also shot and killed by the Han general, and Ximen has no one to command!"

"Report to General..."

In the large tent of the Chinese army outside the city, bad news spread to Wanyan Zongwang's ears one after another. In just one day, the Jurchen generals lost nearly [-]%, including two ten thousand commanders.

There were 40 or [-] Jurchen soldiers and horses, and the ten thousand commanders commanded an army of ten thousand, and there were only thirty or forty thousand Jurchen commanders in total.In Dahan, they are equivalent to generals like Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Yang Yansi!As for Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, they are equivalent to Chen Qingzhi and Li Jing, the governors of a state.

Now two generals were shot dead by Xue Rengui for attacking the city, upon hearing the news, Wanyan Zongwang's face could not help but become gloomy.

"General, we can't attack anymore. The Han Emperor himself supervised the battle at the top of the city. The morale of the Han army is like a rainbow. Although the number of people is small, they are tireless. There are generals stationed at each city, and there is also the general of the magic arrow, who keeps shooting and killing our army. General, attacking Xu Ping is different from Changli, if this goes on, our army will have no one to command." Beside Wanyan Zongwang, a general of the Wanyan clan clasped his hands and said.

Wanyan Zongwang said with a gloomy face: "Forget it, let the soldiers retreat!"

"Is this giving up like this?" Another general asked with a face full of unwillingness.

Wanyan Zongwang sneered and said: "Naturally, you will not give up so easily. Think about it, there are many generals in the Han army in Xuping City, but he still has tens of thousands of reinforcements. In order to defend Xu Ping, Emperor Han brought all the generals here. Then the reinforcements must not be powerful generals. We only need to deal with the reinforcements when they arrive."

"After the soldiers retreat, let Yuan Gai Suwen and the others come over!" Wanyan Zongwang stepped to the front of the map and said with his back to the generals.

"promise!"

But after a while, the Jurchen soldiers who had stormed for a day retreated, and in Wanyan Zongwang's main tent, Yuan Gai Suwen, An Dianbao, Shi Jingtang and other generals were ordered to come.

"The Han generals shot and killed dozens of our generals and school in a row, and the Emperor of Han personally supervised the battle. Our army suffered a lot of casualties, but we were unable to reach the top of the city. Therefore, I ordered the soldiers to retreat." Wanyan Zongwang looked at the generals and school and explained. road.

"If the general doesn't forcefully attack Xu Ping, once the reinforcements from the Han army arrive, Xu Ping will be completely unable to attack." An Dianbao cupped his hands.

"So what if the reinforcements come, our army has more than 15 troops, will we give them a chance to join forces?" Wanyan Zongwang sneered.

Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes lit up, and said: "The general intends to attack his reinforcements?"

"Yes, our army has 15 soldiers and horses, and there are only [-] Han troops in Xuwu City. We only need to send [-] soldiers and horses under the city, and the Han troops in the city will not dare to act rashly. The remaining [-] soldiers and horses in our army , can bypass Xu Wu, guard the dangerous place behind Xu Wu, and attack the reinforcements of the Han army, as long as the reinforcements of the Han army are defeated, the Han army in Xu Wucheng will have no hope, how long can they last?" Wanyan Zongwang stared. Following the map, he slowly revealed his strategy.

This strategy is a typical strategy of besieging the city and fighting for aid, and it was first used by Li Shimin.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were disputes in the world, and in the later period, the world competition mainly centered on Li Tang and Luoyang Wang Shichong.Li Shimin's soldiers surrounded Luoyang, sent troops to garrison important passes around Luoyang, and defeated their reinforcements.Thus won.

In modern times, this method of warfare has been fully utilized, and there have been many classic battles of encirclement and reinforcements.

However, it is man-made, and with the current situation, it is reasonable for Wanyan Zongwang to come up with this strategy of besieging the city and fighting for aid.

"Shi Jingtang, you are familiar with the terrain behind Xu Wu, immediately lead troops to investigate, I believe the reinforcements from the Han army will arrive soon!" Wanyan Zongwang ordered to Shi Jingtang.

"Promise!" Shi Jingtang immediately bowed his hand to accept the order, his heart was full of excitement, if he won this battle, he would make a great contribution, and he would definitely be reused by Wanyan Aguda.

But after the Jurchen retreated, the soldiers in Xu Wucheng rejoiced.Liu Bian asked the soldiers who did not participate in the defense of the city to replace the defenders to rest, and then returned to the city with the generals.

As soon as Liu Bian sat down in the government office, soldiers and horses came to report: "Your Majesty, a group of Jurchen cavalry rushed to Xu Wu's rear just now, the number is about 3000."

"Who is the leader?" Liu Bian asked immediately.

"It's the villain Shi Jingtang!" The soldier replied.

Liu Bian came from a later generation, and these years he often led the army, coupled with his familiarity with the military strategy of later generations, his ability to command troops is no less than that of ancient famous generals.Especially his grand strategic vision, even if compared with the famous Han Bai and others in history, it is not much different.

As soon as the scouts said that Shi Jingtang led the troops to Xu Wu's rear, Liu Bian quickly understood the intention of the Jurchen soldiers.

Liu Bian immediately said: "Jurchen has no choice but to attack Xu Wu by force. Now that they stop attacking, there must be other plans! It seems that they have set their sights on our reinforcements. They want to bypass Xu Wu and deal with the reinforcements coming from behind! Shi Jingtang It is to survey the terrain, to occupy the dangerous position in advance, and to block our army's reinforcements."

When Yuchi Gong heard this, he immediately frowned: "Then what should we do? Although Liu Bei left some food and grass, he can support our army for 20 days at most. If our reinforcements are blocked outside Xu Wucheng, how can we Aren't you going to starve to death?"

Liu Bian looked at Yu Chigong, shook his head and said with a smile: "Our army has a total of [-] reinforcements. Even if the Jurchen soldiers occupy a dangerous position, how many soldiers and horses are needed to successfully intercept our reinforcements from Xu Wuwai?"

Yu Chigong smacked his lips and muttered: "I joined His Majesty not long ago. Although I don't have much contact with soldiers and horses, I know that the infantry under General Di Qing have experienced many battles and are no less powerful than Jurchen. They are also proficient in various battle formations. This is incomparable to Jurchen. And the cavalry led by General Yuwen Chengdu, I was lucky for a while, the strength is not inferior to the Xuanjia cavalry under a certain family, and the strength of General Yuwen can be said to be a rare opponent in the world. Even if Jurchen occupies the dangerous position in advance Terrain, but no one with more than [-] soldiers and horses can't stop their reinforcements."

"Then how many soldiers and horses do you think Jurchen needs to keep our army in the city when our army comes out from Xu Wu?" Liu Bian asked again.

"Well..." Yu Chigong looked at the several generals in the main hall, and said: "If I use my Xuanjia fine cavalry to open the way, and several generals charge into the battle, then only [-] soldiers and horses will be dispatched, and Jurchen will also have to use about [-] soldiers. Soldiers and horses can stop our army!"

Liu Bian sneered and said: "Although the strategy of besieging the city is good, it also requires an absolutely superior force. Wanyan Zongwang is confident that the strength of the army is strong, and I am also confident. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. If we want to besiege the city, we also need to prevent being attacked." The inside should cooperate with the outside, and the enemy will be attacked!"

Wei Xiaokuan also stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty is right. If the Jurchens want to intercept our reinforcements, they need to dispatch at least 15 troops. If they want to surround our army in the city, they will need at least [-] to [-] troops." Do it. Now there are less than [-] Jurchen soldiers and horses, if we use the strategy of besieging the city and fighting for reinforcements, it will only expose our flaws!"

"Let the soldiers have a good rest and pay close attention to the movement of the Jurchen soldiers and horses. I'm afraid it will be a fierce battle in the near future!" Liu Bian told the generals.

The generals did as they said, and the next day the scouts came to report again, saying that Nuzhen sent [-] soldiers and horses to go west.When Liu Bian heard the news, he was even more sure that this was a plan for the Jurchen to besiege the city and fight for aid.

On the third day, the Jurchen soldiers and horses were twenty miles behind Xu Wu, occupying a dangerous place, ready to intercept and ambush the reinforcements of the Han army here.

The Han army has [-] reinforcements, [-] infantry led by Di Qing, Zhang Shigui, Gao Lan and others.There is also the [-] Huqi led by Yuwen Chengdu.

The [-] infantry led by Di Qing were originally in the direction of Pinggu, while the Hu cavalry led by Yuwen Chengdu were stationed in Shanggu and Daijun.Even though the cavalry was fast, Pinggu was very close to Xu Wu. Although he escorted a large amount of food, grass and equipment, he still arrived at Xu Wu's rear first.

Di Qing personally led [-] soldiers and horses in the front, and Zhang Shigui escorted the military equipment and food in the rear.The soldiers and horses marched to a dangerous area, with high slopes on both sides and a narrow road in the middle.

As the deputy governor of Youzhou, Di Qing was also the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty in history. His position was equivalent to that of a general, and he was fully responsible for the attack on Xixia.His commanding ability is also at the forefront among the famous generals in history.

Seeing the terrain here, Di Qing let the scouts go first, and the army stationed behind the intersection to defend.

Naturally, there are Jurchen soldiers and horses occupying this place. As soon as the scouts entered the valley and searched the hillsides on both sides, they were naturally shot and killed by the Jurchen soldiers and horses who were ambushed.

Shi Jingtang led [-] soldiers and horses to ambush here, and there were [-] cavalry led by Wanyan Zongwang and An Dianbao on the plain behind.Seeing that the soldiers and horses were discovered, Shi Jingtang couldn't help but secretly scolded the enemy general for being too cautious in using troops, and immediately led the cavalry to charge out from the slopes on both sides, and headed straight for the Taniguchi Han army.

"The front army set up a spear-shield formation, the Chinese army occupied high places to shoot ballistas, and the archers also occupied high places to shoot!" Di Qing's face darkened, and he ordered immediately.

As early as a few months ago, Liu Bian had prevented the battle with Jurchen, and since there were many Jurchen cavalry, Liu Bian prepared a large number of hard crossbows for attacking, and iron shields to defend against the cavalry.However, Di Qing was cautious in using his troops, and his marching speed was not fast. Even if his soldiers and horses suddenly encountered a strong enemy, they would soon be able to form an array to meet the enemy.

Di Qing gave an order, and the soldiers of the former army immediately set up their shields, and put spears and spears in the shields to resist the charge of the cavalry.In the direction of the central army, some soldiers carried the ballista to the high place, lined up the ballista and aimed it at the Jurchen cavalry, and the archers, together with the ballista soldiers, occupied the high place to shoot.
