Chapter 849
(Dear friends, go and follow the comments in the top area! There are more related contents of this book.)
In July of the 13th year of the Marquis of Wei, the summer vacation is coming soon.
It was also at this time that the coalition of princes led by Chu launched a comprehensive attack on Wei.
The coalition forces of several countries moved together, and their momentum was naturally huge, and the Wei State did not dare to slacken at all.
Wei Wuji led out the Chu State and other troops. The most hope was to eliminate more of its vital forces, but in the end he decided to be more stable.
Therefore, the Wei army is mainly defending, and the Chu army's attack was difficult to work for a while, and the situation became stiff.
No one can do anything to anyone. In addition to fighting for whom, it is also a test of the logistics support capabilities of both armies.
Relatively speaking, Chu State and others are nearby defense, and the southern climate is more suitable for farming, so their logistical pressure is less.
It is difficult for Wei to support an army of 600,000 to 700,000 troops. If you continue to defend, you will only turn your advantage into a disadvantage.
Once there is a decline, it may be a major defeat. Although Wei Wuji can afford to lose, it may cause the efforts of Wei's previous years to be wasted.
At this time, Wei Wuji actually had two choices. In addition to choosing to turn defense into offense, he could also slowly withdraw from the royal capital.
But Wei Wuji could not choose the second one. Apart from the bad looks on his face, it also involves many real interests.
Wei Wuji has now made Ji Quan the king. If he withdraws from Shangluo at this time, even if he takes Ji Quan away with him, he will lose the opportunity to use the emperor's laws.
At that time, Xiong Jun and others will definitely establish another emperor in Shangluo, which will put Wei in an embarrassing situation.
Of course, Wei Wuji also chose to fight because he believed in his ability and his subordinates.
Over the years, Wei Wuji has presided over many wars, most of which have won victory, which has also made him overcome all obstacles along the way, making himself not only the helmsman of Wei, but also stand at the peak of the world's power.
Therefore, Wei Wuji is not afraid of war and dares to face any challenges!
Wei Wuji's will changes quickly affected the army. The Wei army, which was in a defensive posture, organized a counterattack in each resistance.
But the Chu people were not vegetarians, not to mention that Xiong Jun decided to take the initiative to fight, so the Wei army's counterattack did not make any major breakthrough in a short period of time.
This anxious situation made Wei Wuji calm down, but he was still calm, but the general below was not sure.
The anxiety was brewing in the army, and Wei Wuji himself also noticed it. He could only strictly order the generals to make stability the tone of all actions.
…………
In a city south of Shangluo City, 20,000 Wei troops were stationed here.
These 20,000 troops are not easy. In addition to the 10,000 Wei army responsible for garrison, there are 10,000 cavalry stationed here.
These 10,000 cavalry were not ordinary cavalry, but iron-armored cavalry with extremely strong combat power, led by Wei Wuji's confidant general Hu Hansan.
The importance of his strategic position is shown by the fact that such heavy troops are stationed in a small city and Hu Hansan himself.
Yes, this city in Luoyun County is the fulcrum of the Wei army's defense line south of Shangluo.
Although the princes' army could cross this fulcrum and fight back and forth with the Wei army, they could not make breakthrough progress.
In fact, there were originally 30,000 infantrymen in Luoyun City, but the other 20,000 troops were transferred out of the city two days ago because of their mission, otherwise there would only be more soldiers here.
Wei Wuji knew the situation in Luoyun City. The reason why he drew out the army and placed Luoyun's city in a dangerous place was to attract the troops of Chu again to achieve the purpose of encircling and annihilation.
This is a big plan. Wei Wuji of course had to tell the generals in Luoyun City that Hu Hansan was one of the insiders.
Knowing is knowing, but Hu Hansan certainly complains about staying here for a long time.
Everyone else was fighting outside to make meritorious contributions. Hu Hansan was also the king's confidant. He should have had a great future, but he was trapped in such a place.
If you think of these, it is enough to show that Hu Han’s three overall concepts are weak, which is in line with his usual style, because he was promoted quickly by Wei Wuji from the grassroots.
Although Hu Hansan also fought many battles, except for the small command scale at the beginning, the iron-armored cavalry commanders were all conquering people with their strength, and rarely relying on their own strategies.
On the eighth day of the seventh month, in the sunny sky as usual, Hu Hansan took off his heavy armor and drank a muffled wine alone in the military camp.
This is how he has been here these two days. The south is warm, humid and uncomfortable. Only by drinking can he eliminate his boredom.
But Hu Hansan sniffed, but the others did not dare to sit idly by and acted like this. Another general in Luoyun City immediately came to dissuade him.
"General Hu, when is it now? Are you still drinking here?" Gao Yang said angrily.
Gao Yang is the Gao Yang from the Wu'an Gao family. Although this person is a playboy, he is not bad if he is serious.
After seven or eight years of war, Gao Yang also achieved his position as a general and finally got rid of the shame of the general.
All this was hard-won, so Gao Yang felt very cherished. At this critical moment, he could not tolerate any mistakes.
Hu Hansan's behavior naturally angered him. Everyone knew that this was a critical moment, but Hu Hansan still dared to drink here.
If something happens, then who will lead the army to fight?
Hearing Gao Yang's shouting, Hu Hansan couldn't help but look up and cursed dissatisfied: "What's the name? It's just that I'm drinking some wine, and I'm drinking well!"
The other party's repentance made Gao Yang even more angry, so he said angrily: "Your Highness has issued a strict order, saying that everything needs to be cautious and cautious. Are you cautious just by drinking?"
At this time, Hu Hansan didn't dare to push it. He stood up, patted his chest and said, "With this general here, you can rest assured. What else are you worried about?"
Just as Gao Yang was about to argue, a soldier suddenly broke into the room and knelt down to Gao Yang and said, "General, the Chu army is coming outside the city, and faintly... there is also the flag of Chu Gong Xiong Jun!"
Gao Yang's face became darker, and he was really afraid of anything he would come to, so he asked, "How many troops do the Chu army have?"
The soldier said, "A rough count is probably less than 40,000!"
The Chu people mobilized so many troops to come over, and it seemed that they were going to take the bait. Gao Yang thought of this! He also knew the plans related to the monarch.
"General Hu, the Chu army is here. I will organize defense now. You should wake up quickly!" After saying this, Gao Yang turned around and left.
After Gao Yang left, Hu Hansan drank the last bowl of wine, then wiped his mouth and said, "That guy Xiong Jun is here too. See how I will capture him alive!"
Hu Hansan has always been very sober, so he roughly learned that Xiong Jun has also come, which is a rare opportunity for him.
Although there are 40,000 troops on the opposite side, defeating them under the guerrilla of mobile cavalry is not a big problem.
As long as the Chu army is dispersed, Hu Hansan's chance will come. Once Chu Jun Xiong Jun is captured or killed alive, the alliance of princes will collapse in an instant, and Hu Hansan will also become the biggest hero of Wei.
He did it as soon as he said that, Hu Hansan immediately put on his armor and went to the military camp to pass the order!
In less than half an hour, when the news of Hu Hansan leaving the city from Luoyun North Gate reached Gao Yang's ears, he was petrified.
What he said just now is based on stability, but now Hu Hansan has gone out of the city. Once any problems arise, Gao Yang will also be held accountable.
If he wins, it's okay. If Hu Hansan fails, in addition to apologizing for his death, Gao Yang will also face the consequences of being dismissed.
"Who asked him out of the city?" Gao Yang asked angrily, but no one could answer him.
In addition to his long-depressed heart, the one who lets Hu Hansan out of the city was also the drinks that were drunk.
…………
On July 18th, Wei Wuji looked south on the wall of Shangluo.
Chaos... It's now a chaos. From the beginning of Hu Hansan, the situation behind was completely out of control.
During this process, although the Wei army was defeated, it was not as bad as it was, and the Chu State suffered a lot.
With the loss of Luoyun City, Shangluo City has become less safe.
He hated Hu Han and Wuji to the core, but no matter how much he hated Hu Han San, he had already died in his country, and ten thousand iron armored cavalry were defeated.
"Your Majesty, let's set off!" Zheng Dali said in a heavy tone behind him.
Wei Wuji nodded, and then, surrounded by guards, stepped on a carriage and left the city.
After this fierce battle, the State of Wei wanted to defeat the countries in one go and re-establish the unified plan.
