Chapter 429

"The crime will damage the soldiers and destroy the generals. Please punish the king."

"Hey, the Shu thieves have strong soldiers and strong horses, and they occupy the best geographical advantage. What is the general's crime?"

On October 23, Wang Jun, who received successive orders from Du Yu and Sima Yan, organized some troops to launch a tentative attack on the Han army at Pubanjin on the other side of the Yellow River. The result, of course, was a disastrous defeat.

In the place of Pubanjin, Guan Yi led an army of 15 to settle in at first, and then Zhang Yi led an army of 6 to enter.Later, although Guan Yi took away [-] troops in advance, [-] of the remaining [-] troops have quietly moved northward.But when Wang Jun sent troops to attack, there were still [-] horses here.Its number far exceeds all the military forces in Wang Jun's hands.

Du Yu and Sima Yan were far away from Pubanjin, so they didn't know the situation here, but Wang Jun confronted each other across the river here.So although he doesn't know how many soldiers and horses the opponent has, he knows that the opponent has a lot of soldiers and horses.Therefore, although this attack was forced by Shangfeng's order, Wang Jun only invested [-] soldiers and horses.

As a result, these 5000 people did not encounter any difficulties when crossing the river, and they were immediately surrounded and wiped out by the other party when they crossed the river and landed on the bank.If Pang Ding, the leader of the army, hadn't been instructed by Wang Jun in advance to march slowly at the end of the way, it is hard to say that the Pang family would lose another general.

"My lord, how many soldiers and horses do these Shu thieves have? There are 20 to [-] in Bingzhou, and [-] to [-] in Tongguan. Here in Pubanjin, according to the general, there are at least [-]. Listen. It is said that the other party still has an army in Wuyuan County... so the total number is probably no less than [-]!"

"Yes, the court's previous calculations were wrong. The Shu thieves used at least 20 troops for this invasion."

"In this way, the domestic defenses of the Shu thieves are already extremely empty. I hate that Wu dog! The war has been going on for more than five months, why haven't I heard the news of Wu dog sending troops?"

"Hehe." Contemptuously squeezed out a wry smile: "General Pang, you said it yourself, it's a Wu dog. If I don't throw a few bones out, how can Wu dog move?"

"What does the envoy mean?"

"It's just a rumor that the imperial court is planning to use Shouchun as bait to attract Wu Gou to send troops to Yizhou."

"Shouchun?" Pang Ding's eyes sparkled when he heard the news, but it was only for a moment.Then he quickly laughed: "Alright, as long as I get through this crisis, Shouchun can get it back anytime he wants."

As for Soochow's combat effectiveness, well, both the Han and Jin Dynasties, no matter high-level or ordinary generals, everyone's perceptions are actually the same.

After the two talked about this issue for a while, Pang Ding saw that there was no more soldier appeared behind him, so he continued: "My lord, in this battle, our army lost at least 3000 people, and the number of Shu thieves on the other side Far superior to our army, next, we should continue to strengthen the defense of Puban City. The general feels that the envoy should ask the imperial court for reinforcements."

"Heh~~~ On this point, I think differently from General Pang."

"Oh? Please ask the gentleman to explain Pang Ding's doubts."

"If the Shu thieves really have an absolute advantage in military strength, they should completely give up Pubanjin, let our army completely land and go deep into Fengyi County before encircling them. In this way, we can all be wiped out. But this time General Pang The Shu thieves reacted very violently to the temptation. This is the so-called strong external force. It is estimated that the enemy general on the opposite side will not have too many soldiers, or there are many soldiers in his hands now, but the number of troops in the future will decrease. So the enemy dares to Let us go ashore in order to kill me to a certain extent. But after all, its military strength does not have an absolute advantage, so we dare not let our army go too deep to prevent the situation from getting out of control... If the officer's expectations are not bad, the strength of the troops on the other side is now It is indeed not less than [-], but it will continue to decrease soon. If we attack next time, the opponent may start attacking when we are crossing the river. .”

"...I see. Then, sir, we should apply to the imperial court for reinforcements. In this way, when the enemy's soldiers are reduced, our army can attack and cross the river again. At that time, if the Shu thief Feng Yi County is captured by me, it will not be too late. Hurry back to the army for rescue?"

"Hey, this, although I think so. But I don't know when the current Shu bandits in Pubanjin will drop in strength. If you report it like this, Luoyang will not give reinforcements. What's more, after the fall of Taiyuan County , the country has lost the upper hand in the battle situation. Not to mention, we will not get a reinforcement, even our own troops here will be cut off part of it!"

"How come?" Pang Ding jumped up when he heard this: "We originally had 5 people here, but we were taken away from [-] people. Including today's losses, the number of troops has dropped to about [-]. We still have [-] people." ? Didn’t the king of Taiyuan bring the [-] troops that were drawn out to the north to support Shao Fu a while ago?”

"That's not enough troops. Besides, if my predictions are correct, the Shu bandits should move along the way in Wuyuan County."

.......
October 25, Wuyuan County.At this time, it is the season of high autumn and high horse fat.The climate is cool and pleasant, and the horses have accumulated a lot of fat after being raised in spring and summer.And as late autumn is coming to an end, the temperature drops, the rainfall decreases, and the ground of the grassland begins to become tough.Everything is a good time for the cavalry to make a big move!

"General, as of today, our army has stockpiled more than 500 million shi of grain in Wuyuan County. It is enough for the entire army to use for five years!"

"Hahaha, Zhongshen (Wuyuan prefect Huangfu Ning) has worked hard. However, these grains are not only used by us. Although Zifeng won Taiyuan County, the grain road is not smooth after all. Therefore, we are here After moving eastward, we will also build ziplines near Yanmen County to support Zifeng's consumption from the north."

"So that's the case, the lower official understands. The lower official immediately ordered someone to revise the budget and set aside a part for Da Sima's reserve."

"Well, Zhong Shen has worked hard. Speaking of the grain road problem in Yanmen County, Zhong Yuan, how is the contact with the Tuoba Department?"

"Reporting to the general, in recent months, our army has been in constant contact with the Tuoba tribe. The leader of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Liwei, has made it clear that he is willing to provide protection for my big man's grain road. It's just that there are still people behind them. With Yuwen Xianbei, it is impossible to provide cavalry to directly follow us to fight south."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the grain road is stable." Jiang Wei waved his hand casually, and Jiang Wei stood up proudly: "Everyone, since the former general stormed Tongguan, this battle that will determine the life and death of the two countries has been fought five times. It's been more than a month. In the past five months, the soldiers below have become more and more clamoring for war. With the character of this general, it is time to send troops. However, Wuyuan County is too far away from Chang'an, and the area we have to cross is too far away. Long... Once it is launched, it will not work without storing enough food in advance. Moreover, the grassland is rainy in summer, and the road along the way is extremely muddy... Therefore, we have waited until now to launch it. However, although we are the last to send troops, we have The general is convinced that we will achieve extremely brilliant results in this battle. Your official titles and titles will also be greatly improved because of this battle! Now, the general orders the entire army to set off tomorrow. Directly to the east, across Yunzhong and Yanmen, and directly capture Gaoliu City in the Dai County of Youzhou, Jin State! In this battle, I, the Han, will definitely be able to wipe out Jin Ni and dominate the Kanto region!"

"Here! The big man is mighty! The big man will win!"

……

"The governor of Youzhou, the governor of Youzhou, and the general Meng Guan of Pingbei reported to His Majesty that on October 25, the puppet general Jiang Boyue of Shu sent troops to the east in Wuyuan County. Send out all kinds of power to help him carry the rations and hay. After I went to Zuo Cao to inquire, the soldiers and horses of the Shu thieves on this road were no less than [-], and the cavalry accounted for more than [-]%... The peak of the soldiers pointed out that they should be in Daijun. Minister. On the day of the report, he personally led the troops north to Daijun to sit in town...Jiang Boyue, a veteran general for many years. The military capacity under his command today is far better than in the past. And the [-] soldiers under his command, the recruits accounted for more than [-]% ...It goes without saying that this battle is dangerous. However, the minister is so old and has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by His Majesty Jian Ba. Only by doing our best to deal with him can we repay His Majesty's kindness! Liezong protects and defends against the enemy outside the Great Wall!"
