The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 382 It's Everywhere in Nanzhong ([-])
In fact, Xiuze's fleet did not take more than two hours to sail from Bengu County. In this time, it only traveled forty miles - this is the distance of the waterway. The straight-line distance from Guxian County is only more than ten miles away.

After Xiuze was attacked and the smoke was lit immediately, even in Bengu County, the Xisui and Jincheng counties in the rear all found abnormalities.

Since Zhong Yong and Sun Qian were in Xiuze's team at this time, there were [-] Yangzhou troops in the rear.At this time, Wu Yan is in charge of the commander.

After seeing the wolf smoke, Wu Yan quickly made arrangements: more than 8000 Yangzhou troops (reduced due to illness) in Jincheng County, which is closer to the incident, will be led by him personally, and immediately advance to the northwest.The more than 9000 Yangzhou troops in Xisui County also left the city immediately, cleared an open space on both sides of Yuanshui, and then formed an array in the open space, ready to meet the friendly troops withdrawing from the upper reaches at any time.

On the other side, in Bengu County.

"It was really what Shiying said. The Shu thieves really wanted to take the opportunity to attack our army. I also ask Ziguang to spare no effort and lead five thousand Jiefan troops out of the city immediately to rescue Zigui."

"Please don't worry, sir, I will just..."

"No!"

"Shiying, what do you mean?"

"Xue Shijun, Danyang Shou, if your guess is correct, there must be a large army waiting for us between Bengu County and the place where Zigui was attacked. Its strength is outstanding, but in this densely forested south, its strength cannot be displayed much. Therefore, please order the entire army to move forward with 5000 people!"

"What do you mean? Of course, I know that Wang Kongshuo must have left an army outside to contain our support. But this number will definitely not be too much. You must know that the entire Nanzhong Army of the Shu Bandits only has 5000 people. They forced Zigui to send out several bursts of smoke to ask for help, so there must be a lot of troops to attack. Part of the troops should be allocated to guard against the Shize in the south. The maximum number of people staying on our side will not exceed 3000. The solution is [-] With the power of annoyance, it is easy to break through."

"My lord, this is Nanzhong! It's Nanzhong where the Shu rebels have been lightly enslaved for several years, various minerals have emerged in endlessly, Han rice and soybeans have achieved high yields, and people's livelihood has been greatly improved! He is not our rebellion. , Jiaozhou, where the people are suffering! As long as Wang Kongshuo..."

"Report~~~ Gentlemen, the place where our army lit up the smoke just now is already in flames!"

"It's urgent, don't talk about it, Ziguang, please hurry. If the officer is right, the soldiers in the south will see this situation and send troops to the north. In this way, our army can just concentrate on the advantage Force, wipe out Wang Kongshuo!"

"Leader!"

Seeing Shen Ying leaving in a hurry, Tao Huang was really anxious: "Master, please pack your bags quickly, and then order the remaining [-] Jiaozhou troops to follow Ziguang's troops to the south!"

"Shiying, what are you trying to say?"

"Young officials are short-sighted, and I just figured it out. To put it bluntly, based on what we have done in Jiaozhou, if Shu bandits invade Jiaozhou, we will certainly not be able to call on the natives of Jiaozhou to respond to us. But this Wang Kongshuo can It did it! As long as he raises his arms, all the Nanzhong tribes are willing to drive away! So what we are facing is not the Nanzhong Corps of [-] Shu thieves. Once we step into Nanzhong, we will immediately We must face the hostility of all Nanzhong people at all times!"

"This……"

"Your Majesty! The officer just suddenly figured it out after seeing the wolf smoke. Fortunately, our army has only entered Xinggu County for less than a hundred miles, and there is still a chance of retreating at this time!"

……

Just when Tao Huang and Xue Jue analyzed the difference between Nanzhong and Jiaozhou.The Yangzhou Army led by Wu Yan was blocked by a troop shortly after leaving Jincheng County.

"Is the person here my scholar? General Annan Li Mu has been waiting here for a long time!"

The Di people of the Li family are the main ones, and more than 20 tribes of different sizes in Nanzhong have been assembled. The number of this army is as high as [-].

Although there are a lot of people, but in terms of overall combat effectiveness, it is still much inferior to the Yangzhou Army.But the problem is, it's nighttime, and the lights are dark.The military order of the Yangzhou Army is clear, and the advantages of a complete organizational system cannot be brought into play.At this time, the encounter between the two sides is more of a test of the individual combat effectiveness of both sides.

Of course, the Yangzhou Army of Soochow is an elite force defending the capital of the country, and its individual combat effectiveness is not bad.But there is another problem: now this is Nanzhong with high mountains and dense forests.How come from the Yangtze River Basin that has been developed to a certain scale to this almost original ecology of Nanzhong.The Yangzhou Army has already lost a lot of personnel due to illness. Even if the more than 8000 soldiers who came out with a knife at this time, not all of them may be healthy.What's worse, they have to fight in this strange terrain, in this dark night, with the locals who live in this environment all day long!
After Li Mu roared in the dark.Countless arrows flew from the dark woods.At this time, in order to speed up the march, the whole army held up the torches, and the Soochow Yangzhou Army, which formed a long snake formation, suddenly became a shining target.

"Shields upright! Line up! Stick to the official path! Archers, shoot rockets, and force the thieves out of the woods!"

Wu Yan gave the order hoarsely, and his personal guards also tried their best to convey the commander's order.But the team of more than 8000 people stretched into a line along the official road, how long does it have to be?Under the concentrated fire of the enemy's bows and arrows, a large number of soldiers automatically extinguished the torches in their hands.As a result, sending orders under the banner has become unfeasible.The entire Yangzhou army inevitably fell into fighting on its own.

"Hey~~~ boys, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Hey~~!"

Following Li Liu's roar, some Di soldiers followed their brave young master and resolutely rushed into a group of Wu troops...

at the same time.Three miles outside the city of Bengu County.

When Shen Ying led the [-] elite Jiefan army out of the open space outside the county seat and entered a forest, they were attacked as expected.

"Old man Meng Yan, the imperial censor Zhongcheng, is here! Wu Gou saves his life!"

What you need to know is that because various mining industries have fertilized most of the chieftains in Nanzhong, the prosperity of trade routes and the promotion of Han rice and beans have benefited the people of Nanzhong.Therefore, Wang Qi's prestige in Nanzhong at this time was the highest among all the governors of Nanzhong (Nanzhong) in all dynasties.It's really like what Tao Huang said: When Wang Qi raises his arms, the whole Nanzhong will respond!But this time, in the face of Soochow's invasion, Wang Qi's actual strength was not 5000, but more than [-]!

Xue Jue and others are not idiots, but they are all high-ranking bureaucrats, and they are not down-to-earth at all.Who would have thought that at this moment, they would be plunged into the vast ocean of the people's war?
According to Wang Qi's prediction in advance, he wanted to retreat all of Soochow's more than 4 troops into the hinterland of Nanzhong for complete annihilation.But Xue Jue didn't cooperate, so he had no choice but to do what he could, with the main goal of eating most of it.

In the three battlefields tonight, Ji Han's 5000 regular troops mainly intercepted and killed Xiu Ze's troops in the middle of the three counties.Try to support the other two points at any time after the battle is resolved overnight.The main goal of Li Mu's army, which is dominated by Di people, is to stop the reinforcements from Soochow, at least to delay their marching speed.Ensure that Wang Qi will not be disturbed before the Xiuze team is wiped out.Therefore, in addition to the [-] Li family's strong men, there are only more than [-] strong men from other tribes in this team.

But Meng Yan is different here.He was supposed to replace Meng Huo, the leader of the new generation of Nanzhong Hao.In order to make him willingly offer Wu as the coach of the Flying Army, Guan Yi also granted him permission to expand his strength.So at this time, Meng Yan's headquarters has 30 strong men, plus more than [-] strong men from the larger Nanzhong tribes and villages.This night, the number of Meng Yan's team was close to [-]!
The climate is not suitable, the terrain is not suitable, and the number of people is too disparate.No matter how elite the Jiefan army is, it will be difficult to resist.

Soon, Jie Fan's army was beaten back steadily, and finally forced to retreat towards Bengu County.

When approaching the city gate, under Tao Huang's persuasion, Xue Jue finally made up his mind and left the city with the entire army of [-] Jiaozhou soldiers.

"Hey, Shiying, you really hit the spot!"

"My lord, now is not the time to lament these things. At this time, the strength of the Shu thieves is still scattered in various battlefields due to the restraint of other troops of our army. Although the team in front has a large number of people, their combat power is worse than that of the Wudang Flying Army. It's far away... so our army and Jie Fan join forces together, and there is still a chance to break through!"

"Shan! Shiying, the whole army is under your command now! Please bring back as many Jiaozhou men as possible!"

"Thank you, envoy!" He hurriedly bowed his hands to Xue Jue, and Tao Huang lifted the spear in his hand: "Boys, the way forward is dead. If you want to survive, you can only go forward! I will kill you!"

"Hey~~~ Indomitable forward!"

……

On this chaotic night, in the triangle formed by the three counties of Bengu, Jincheng, and Xisui, 9 to [-] troops from the Han and Wu armies fought fiercely for one night in three battlefields.Until the sun rises again.Soochow's first Xiu Ze team was basically destroyed, Xiu Ze died in battle, and Sun Qian and Zhong Yong became prisoners.

On Xue Jue's side, Meng Yan failed to keep them all under the desperate attack led by Tao Huang and Shen Ying. About 7000 Wu troops escaped.But Tao Huang didn't dare to go in the direction of Yuanshui.Instead, he chose to lead his army into a deep mountain in the northeast.Although there are no roads everywhere in Nanzhong, there are thoroughfare everywhere.But how much these 7000 people can survive from the boundless primeval forest that covers the sky and the sun depends on God's will.

The best situation is on Wu Yan's side.After all, this Wu army was not surrounded.So after fighting fiercely all night, seeing that the friendly battlefield in the distance, which was originally full of flames, has become extremely quiet.Wu Yan also gave up the rescue, and led the remaining more than 4000 Wu troops to retreat slowly.

"Captain, the troops from both the north and the south have moved closer to me, and it will take time to clear up the specific results of the battle."

"Well, order. After Yushi Zhongcheng's team arrives, let his men stay to count the results of the battle and escort the prisoners. Our army will continue to advance and join General Annan. Go south along Yuanshui, and the governor is going to fetch Jiaozhi!"

"promise!"
