"General Jia is mighty, General Jia is mighty..."
Cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.
With the Jin army's complete victory, Fu Jian and other allied forces of the princes were either killed or surrendered on the spot. The Dunhuang garrison leader was already one of the few remaining small forces on the battlefield, and he was still The strongest resistance force.
Among these small resistance forces, the strongest Dunhuang garrison leader has been killed in the battle, so how long can the remaining people resist.
Therefore, the death of the Dunhuang garrison chief actually marked the temporary end of the war.
In this battle, Fu Jian and other princes' infantry troops were not completely lost. They were mainly dispersed by Jia Fu and fled in all directions.
Fu Jian reacted in time after escaping to a safe place and guessed Jia Fu's purpose of not further attacking the infantry troops. He knew that the safety of the cavalry troops had to be resigned to fate, but the defeated infantry troops could be gathered in time to make up for the losses. .
Jia Fu hurriedly led 20,000 cavalry to support Bai Qi. After removing the losses in the battle, Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng only had just over 10,000 cavalry left. Although the enemy's master Shang and his disciples had withdrawn, But the strength of his army still remained. Therefore, Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng naturally could not continue to do anything to the scattered infantry.
In the end, Fu Jian only recovered less than 30,000 infantry, in addition to the cavalry led by Master Shang and his disciples.
As for the cavalry troops of Fu Jian and other princely forces, they were not as lucky as the infantry troops. The main target of Bai Qi in this battle was the cavalry troops of the coalition forces of Fu Jian and other princely forces, so how could they be allowed to escape easily.
The enemy had 55,000 elite cavalry. After the war, it was estimated that only 5,000 defeated troops fled sporadically. Of the remaining 50,000 troops, 30,000 died in battle and 20,000 were captured.
On top of the generals, Fu Jian and other princely forces suffered heavy losses this time. Some of the generals died and some were captured. It can be said that more than half of them were lost.
Even those like Heiliandu who were suspected of fleeing before the battle, because they were afraid of being punished by Fu Jian later, may have no longer been optimistic about the prospects of Fu Jian's power, and simply did not return to Fu Jian after the war, but passed through Wudu County After passing Sanguan, he prepared to go south to join Liu Che.
This time, Bai Qi can be said to have completely accomplished his strategic goal and achieved a complete victory. After this battle, Fu Jian and other princes' coalition forces suffered heavy losses, and Bai Qi had already established the Jin army's battle situation in Liangzhou.
Soldiers are very fast. After this battle, Bai Qi did not have enough time to rest and recuperate after the war, so he immediately sent Feng Yi as the main general and Jiang Song, Luo Cheng, Luo Ren and others as deputy generals to assist Feng Yi and lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Xiaoguan.
Guanzhong is originally a very strategic term, meaning among the four fortresses. Sisai is a general term. There are many large and small barriers around Guanzhong, and there have been losses and gains from time to time in the past dynasties. But the four most important passes are Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Sanguan and Xiaoguan.
These four passes control the access channels in several major directions in the Guanzhong area. You can be self-defeating in seclusion, and you can make progress when you leave seclusion. If the situation is favorable, go out and make progress; if the situation is unfavorable, then stay in seclusion.
Among the four passes, Xiao Pass is also called Longshan Pass. The Longshan Mountains lie across the northwest of Guanzhong and serve as its northwest barrier. The passage from Longshang into Guanzhong is mainly the valley lowland cut by rivers such as Weihe River and Jinghe River. The mountains in the Weihe River direction are steeper, while the Jinghe River direction is relatively easy.
Xiaoguan stood at the Longshan Pass and guarded the passage into Guanzhong from the Jinghe River. Xiaoguan is an important pass between Guanzhong and Liangzhou in the northwest, protecting the safety of Guanzhong and northwest. Once Xiaoguan is lost, the northwest forces will move down to Chang'an and become a powerful force.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Fu Jian took advantage of Yang Jian's efforts to consolidate the forces of the Xiliang army and captured Xiaoguan in one fell swoop. It is precisely because of this that although Fu Jian is not as powerful as Yang Jian, the two sides are still evenly matched.
As long as Feng Yi can capture Xiaoguan, there will be no major obstacles for Liangzhou's Bai Qi and Su Lie's army to march into Guanzhong.
By then, even if Yang Jian continues to block Li Xiang at Tongguan, its significance will be greatly reduced. Now that Xiaoguan has broken through and the loopholes in Guanzhong's defense have been discovered, even if Tongguan is still there, it can no longer stop Li Xiang's advance.
In any case, the most important target of Li Xiang's troops this time is still the Guanzhong area where Yang Jian is located. Only the fertile Guanzhong is worthy of Li Xiang's aggressive war. At this stage, Liangzhou is still a little too greedy and barren, and cannot be compared with Guanzhong in many places.
If Li Xiang could not win Guanzhong just for Liangzhou, it would not be worth it for Li Xiang to launch a war that would affect several states, and it would definitely not be able to make up for the losses incurred in this war.
Xiao Guan lives at the junction of Hanyang County in Liangzhou and Yongzhou. Although Bai Qi has not officially captured Hanyang yet, this can no longer prevent Bai Qi from attacking Xiao Guan. At worst, he can just bypass the cities along the way.
Cities and levels are very different. Most levels are built close to mountains and rivers. If you can't clear the level, you will really be stuck there, making it difficult to move forward. But the city is different. If you want to go around it, the city can be bypassed.
Moreover, in ancient times, if you attacked a city, you could siege it on all sides. And since a city can be surrounded on all sides, that city can naturally be circumvented.
The reason why Xiaoguan was not attacked before was because the princes in Xiaoguan were still powerful. If Bai Qi rashly sent troops to bypass the cities along the way and go straight to Xiaoguan, then Fu Jian and other princes would not even need to send troops to fight, they would only need to send light cavalry. If it is cut off and repaired along the way, the army attacking Xiaoguan will collapse without a fight.
But the current situation is different. After this battle, Fu Jian lost almost all his main force, and the morale of the last tens of thousands of defeated troops must have plummeted. At this time, Fu Jian's remnant army simply did not have the courage, and did not have the strength to go out and attack Feng Yi's logistics line.
Of course, if Fu Jian really dared to go out of the city to conduct a sneak attack, Bai Qi would be even happier. The enemy would be much easier to deal with if they went out of the city than if they stayed in the city.
However, it was obvious that Fu Jian and Ma Teng did not dare to have any more adventurous ideas after suffering a big loss. They obediently led the last tens of thousands of remaining queens to huddle in the city in order to survive for the last time.
After all, Fu Jian and other princes' coalition forces are no longer qualified to continue taking risks. With their remaining strength, they could no longer afford to lose.
After Yu Juluo died in the battle, Lu Bu was the leader among Yang Jian's forces in Liangzhou. Other generals, such as Master Shang, Xin Wenli, and Xin Yongfeng, cannot compete with Lu Bu in terms of strength or status.
Lu Bu had the intention of leading the cavalry to attack in a sneak attack, but Fu Jian and Ma Teng disagreed. In this case, Lu Bu could not go against the will of the people, so he had to give up.
