Chapter 471 The Battle of Continental Ze (6)
When the Xu hour on January 20th just began, the sun was completely gone. The northern plains of North China in winter seemed pitch black and extremely dry and cold.
As Jiang Wei expected, the Jin army began to retreat overnight.
"Xuan Chong, the battle was roughly damaged."
"Hmm? Let's talk about it."
"Oh, the situation is not very good. The raiders (including the raiders) lost more than 9,000 people, and nearly 10,000 archers were missing. The sword and shield soldiers were not much damaged. There were only more than 3,000 people on the east and west wings, and the cavalry lost more than 3,000..."
"Well, except for the archers who lost too much, everything else is still expected."
"This is impossible. Wen Ciqian came in too quickly. His 30,000 cavalry circled the archers' camp for a while, and ten thousand archers were gone!"
"So the general seemed so sad and angry when he was forced to send troops by His Majesty. The essence of our cavalry was thrown into Youzhou. At that time, he did not send us to support Meng Shushi and General Gou Dao! At this time, we had to go out to fight in the field, hum!"
"Xuanwu, be careful of your words." Wang Hun stretched out a hand and pressed Hu Lie's shoulder in the faint light from the torch in front of him, and lowered his voice and said, "You and I are both people whose hometown has been occupied by the Han Dynasty. The reason why they are loyal to the Dajin is to be famous for their own reputation. But more importantly, your and my children have established in-law relationships with the royal family and senior officials in the court. Since they have made up their minds to fight to the end, why should they say these useless things here?"
"Oh, okay. Now we really want to go to the military camp on Zebeiban on the mainland?"
"Well, although it was only six or seven days before and after, there was still a wall there. In this way, we can hold on to the village railing for a few days. According to the general's strategy, today is the most dangerous. Fortunately, Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi were properly dealt with, otherwise the 120,000 troops would collapse in a battle, and you and I would be ridiculed by future generations for thousands of years."
"Yes, I'm really lucky enough. But by now, the general's plan has been half successful, and the rest is really not something we can control."
"Haha, since your Majesty's imperial edict forced us to go to war, my heart was dead. Today, compared to Xuan, Jing and Wen, the three of you. Do your best to do your best and live in peace."
"That's all."
Early in the morning of the 21st, the Jin army entered the camp built in advance on the north bank of the mainland. At that time of Si, the main force of the Han army also followed.
Seeing that the Jin army had no intention of boarding the ship to retreat, Jiang Wei sent Ma Jie and Beigong Xiong to lead 5,000 light cavalry to the east and west coasts of the Mainland Ze for surveillance, he also ordered the entire army to establish a camp and began to build siege and other siege equipment.
On the 23rd, the Han army, which completed the siege equipment, saw that the Jin army still had no intention of retreating, and began a full-scale attack.
After the fierce battle on the 20th day, the Han army suffered only more than 5,000 casualties, and the wounded soldiers who could not return to the battlefield in a short period of time were still less than 10,000. So this time, the Han army was 90,000 (10,000 cavalry had been sent out) against more than 93,000 Jin army.
The Jin army's camp was limited in time, so there were basically no other defensive fortifications except for the simple deer antlers and horse pits outside the camp and the village. However, when the Jin army fought on the front line on the 20th, the military and civilians here still built a lot of catapults. So as soon as the war started, the soldiers and soldiers of the Jin army relied on the camp and fought with the Han army in a very exciting way.
However, compared with the Han army's storm team who had participated in countless battles for more than ten years and had truly fought for the rest of their lives, the skills of this group of Jin army were much worse. So on the 24th, the Han army had broken the front camp of the Jin army and successfully entered the core part of the Jin army's defense system.
But just when everyone thought the overall situation was settled, the remaining cavalry of the Jin army actually launched a forcibly attack from the back camp under Hu Lie's leadership. Not only did they fight back against the Han army that attacked the Dazhai, but they also caused serious casualties to the storm team that charged in the front.
"I'm so angry!" The Tu General Team is the heart of General Jiang! Jiang Wei, who was supervising the battle in the rear, got angry on the spot after receiving the battle report: "Chen Xiuyuan is really tenacious and refuses to surrender at this time! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless. Ci Qian! Lead the cavalry into the camp and bring the enemy generals who harmed the soldiers of the Tu General Team to me!"
"Here! Please rest assured, General, and I will return soon." Since the battle started, Wen Yang, who had been commanding the cavalry, had been able to watch the battle behind the battlefield, jumped up at this moment and rushed out of the central army's tent: "There are all the cavalry brothers, follow me to attack!"
"Wow~~!"
"Uncle Uncle calms down, and casualties are inevitable on the battlefield."
"Ha~" Jiang Wei chuckled: "I have lost my composure." He patted Guan Fu on the shoulder: "I have fought a war for a lifetime, and I don't know how many soldiers I have sent away with myself. But this sudden general team is different. They are all warriors who have been fighting for the rest of their lives, and it's heartbreaking to lose one... Hum? What's the sound?"
When the Han army arrived here on the 21st, it established a camp of more than three miles between the Jin army. However, as the Han army invaded the Jin army's camp, the entire Han army command site had moved forward. Not only that, because the Han army was fiercely resisted by the Jin army in the village, the Han army's follow-up troops were constantly transferred up. When Wen Yang led all the cavalry to attack just now, Jiang Wei was surrounded by unprecedented numbers of people and horses - only more than 300 personal guards.
As a veteran who has fought for his whole life, although there is a battlefield where nearly 200,000 people are roaring and wailing less than two miles ahead. However, Jiang Wei still clearly distinguished: a team of cavalry was approaching quickly from his side and behind!
Who? This is definitely not a scout or messenger from our side!
Between one or two breaths, the cavalry had completely appeared in front of Jiang Wei and others.
This is a light cavalry without any banner, all the horse's hooves are wrapped in cloth scarves, and the total number is only about 300 people. The leader of the knight, with pale hair and a firm face, was Chen Qian and Chen Xiuyuan, the general of Jin State!
"So that's it! It's true that he is worthy of a good general." When Chen Qian appeared in front of him, Jiang Wei's face showed a sudden smile.
"Enemy attack! Arrange! Attack!" The guards beside Jiang Wei were all elite soldiers who had rolled in the pile of dead people many times. Without any instructions from Jiang Wei, they quickly turned their horse's head, adjusted their posture slightly, and then began to charge bravely!
No one asked whether to knock the soldiers in front of them to return to the rescue: the enemy is about to be defeated, if the morale of the army is disrupted because of the matter here, then the result of the entire war is destined to be overturned!
