In the early morning of the next day, the Han military camp prepared meals as normal, and the entire army ate normally, but there was no action after that. Wang Jun's military order stated that in addition to necessary defense, the entire army was to stay in each camp and recharge their batteries. The Shu army set up a stronghold from the east to the west, and the Han army attacked from west to east. The rising sun rose in the east, and because of the obstruction of sight, it was difficult to attack in the morning.
The biggest news is that probably all the military envoys are selecting capable soldiers for attacking the stronghold. After the turmoil in the handsome account yesterday, although it was not completely clear, it was more or less holding back the breath. Especially the Forbidden Army, all Fang Zhen soldiers are staring at their performance today.
When the spring sun shines, the Han troops all go out and rush towards their respective attack targets according to the plan made in the morning meeting. Wang Jun led the imperial army and the Qi army in the center, Zhao Kuangzan commanded the right wing in the south, and Yao Yuanfu, the envoy of the Jingnan Army, commanded the left wing in the north.
The drums beat and the attack begins.
As a frontal opponent, the Shu army naturally noticed the big movement of the Han army from the beginning and immediately became alert. However, given the experience of fighting in the past few days, the Shu army did not look too nervous. Even looking at the Han troops who were holding shields and knives, pushing anti-carriages, and beating drums, maintaining a tight formation and cautiously oppressing them, a Shu military lieutenant in the stronghold even joked with his subordinates: "These Northern troops are not Learn a lesson and come to die again!"
Zhang Qianzhao, the coach of the Shu army who rushed to the village to inspect the situation after hearing the news, was not so optimistic when he saw this scene. The momentum of the Han army's arrival was obviously unusual, especially the attacking team with black armor and black flags in front of the center base. They were clearly the elite of the Han Dynasty's forbidden army.
Zhang Qianzhao is already in his sixties. Although he is old, he is not weak at all. He can still fight with a bow and a sword. His beard and hair are white, and his face has ridges and grooves. Judging from his appearance, he must have been ugly when he was young. He was originally a tall and tall man. He had been known for his bravery since he was young and had great prestige in the army. The Shu army was able to withstand the attack of the Han army before, which was also due to his ability to control and dispatch.
"Go down with the order and have all the armies and camps in each camp closely defended by this commander. If they block this wave of Han army's attack, they will be defeated!" Zhang Qianzhao rushed to the ordering school next to him and solemnly ordered: "Let the north and south sides The village should also be alert to my commander, don’t be careless!”
Under the peaks, the spring breeze was blowing, but it was extremely dry. The Shu people were not used to the feng shui of the north, and many Shu soldiers had cracked lips.
When the Han army advanced within the range of the Shu army's crossbows, arrows rained down like rain, and the offensive and defensive battle broke out again, and from the beginning, it was heading towards the most intense stage. True to his words, Wang Jun set up his flag in front of the enemy's stronghold and stood on the observation car to supervise the battle. Although they were surrounded by shield chariots and soldiers, the stray arrows were inevitable. Wang Jun showed no fear on his face. Under his supervision, the Han army's will to attack became very determined.
In this era, wars often rely on head-on fighting, plus some luck, strategies and tricks. Due to the limitation of strength, most of the effects are really of little effect. When the two armies engage in battle, it depends on the training of the soldiers and the bravery of the generals, and it depends on who can't hold it back first.
To the south, Zhao Kuangzan personally led 4,000 infantry, mainly composed of his troops and Yong soldiers. His handsome face was full of concentration, and his eyes were like lightning, staring at the Shu Army's southern village.
"Commander Jie, I'll lead the attack right now!" Wang Jun's military order arrived, and Zhao Siwan's expression became even more ferocious.
"Don't be anxious yet!" Zhao Kuangzan stopped the impatient Zhao Siwan and calmly ordered to attack with Yong soldiers.
With the general's flag waved, the infantry envoy led a thousand Yong soldiers, and under the cover of chariot shield soldiers and archers, launched an attack on the southern camp of the Shu army. It’s not like rushing up in a swarm of swarms, it’s going in an orderly and slightly organized way.
This time, the three Han armies spared no effort. Basically, it was difficult to defeat the enemy today, so Wang Jun had to consider how to retreat with the entire army. Therefore, after the battle, the confrontation between the Han and Shu armies quickly became fierce and the fighting became fierce.
The sun gradually moved westward, and within an hour and a half, all the Han armies took turns to launch three attacks on the Shu camp, each time more fierce than the last. According to the previous situation, the Han army had already stopped, but today, it still did not give up. The Shu army's camp, especially the main offensive center, was crumbling.
The Shu army on the defensive side was no longer as "relaxed" as before. In front of the stronghold, Zhang Qianzhao stood with his sword in his hand, sweat breaking out on his forehead. A pair of old eyes scanned the attack and defense in front of the stronghold, issuing orders from time to time and dispatching soldiers to replenish them. After the outbreak, in terms of direct combat effectiveness, the Han army's combat effectiveness was obviously stronger.
However, Zhang Qianzhao also knew at this time that the Han army had that momentum, and when that momentum dissipated, he would win. Therefore, he ordered his Yajun to keep shouting in front of the army: "Withstand this wave of offensive, the Han army will be defeated!"
In front of the base, Wang Jun looked seriously at the meat-grinding battle in front of the stronghold, his mind a little heavy.
"Recruiting envoys, the resistance of the Shu army is too fierce. After all, they have many people and the soldiers are rotated. It would be unwise to continue fighting!" General Qi Zangzhen ran to Wang Jun's side, waved his hand to wipe away the sweat that had blinded his eyes, and said loudly to Wang Jun .
From time to time, the sound of arrows hitting shields, shield walls, and observation cars could be heard in the ears, and they became more and more dense. Wang Jun's position was a bit too arrogant. The Shu army's crossbows had already begun to recognize people. Sitting on the edge of life and death to supervise the battle, Wang Jun always kept his mind clear.
Wang Jun also knew this truth. It was the time when the morale of the Han army was at its highest. It would be really dangerous if the Shu army was still able to hold it back this time.
He is now faced with a choice. Behind him, there are still two thousand fresh troops of the Forbidden Army that have not been used. This is a reserve army, just in case something unexpected happens, whether we want to go into a tough battle or not. If you invest, you are really making a desperate move and there is no way out.
The battle in front of the Shu army's southern stronghold was equally fierce. After several attacks, more than 500 Yong soldiers were killed in the direct battle. According to this ratio of battle losses, coupled with the disadvantage of attacking from above, Yong Bing can hardly hold it anymore.
Zhao Kuangzan's general's flag also moved forward a lot and commanded from a nearby location.
"You are the elite of the Forbidden Army. They have been fighting for so long, but they still haven't been defeated!" Zhao Siwan was beside him, impatient, looking north from time to time and making sarcastic remarks.
Zhao Kuangzan ignored him and stared at the fortress of Shu Village that had been smashed into a hole. Taking a deep breath, he called Zhao Siwan in a rough voice, pointing at the opening: "Take your men, charge forward, and capture the enemy stronghold!"
"Yes!" Zhao Siwan, who had been holding in his anger for a long time, shouted immediately.
However, Zhao Kuangzan grabbed Zhao Siwan by the chest, pulled him to the front, and said sternly to him: "If we can't take the enemy stronghold and you are still alive, I will kill you personally and give Wang Jun an explanation!"
After saying that, she let go of him. Zhao Siwan took two steps back, saluted Zhao Kuang, and said loudly: "Commander, please watch the battle!"
After saying this, Zhao Siwan retreated and gathered his men. There were not many people, only about three hundred people, but they were all like jackals.
Although Zhao Siwan is brave, he is cruel and cruel. He had three hundred soldiers under his command, all of whom were ordered by him. Like him, they had scars on their faces. They were hideous and nicknamed "Ghost Face Capital", and their fighting power was extremely terrifying.
Zhao Siwan stood in front of the "Ghost Face Capital", took off his armor, bare his arms, wielded a sword and slapped it on his chest, with an evil look on his face: "If we can't break through the enemy's stronghold, I will definitely chop it off before Commander Ji cuts off my head." you!"
"Follow me!"
Soon, Zhao Siwan charged forward, followed by more than 300 troops, attacking towards the front of Shu Village where the offensive was gradually slowing down. How could it be that the Shu army had resisted for so long?
In fact, when the "Ghost Faces" fight, not to mention their combat effectiveness, their faces with crisscrossed ravines are enough to scare the enemy. It seemed like an evil ghost crawling out of hell. It was extremely terrifying. On this bloody battlefield, it was even more ferocious.
From Zhao Kuangzan's perspective, we could see Zhao Siwan, topless, roaring and leading people to charge desperately. Arriving at the front of Shu Village, they stepped on the corpse escalator and climbed up the gate. They fought for nearly two quarters of an hour and were the first to break in.
With sharp eyes, when he saw Zhao Siwan's achievements, he immediately ordered the follow-up troops to follow him. He also did not hesitate to lead the remaining few hundred fresh troops in his hands and put them all into it.
In Beizhai, the intensity of the confrontation was no less brutal than on the other two fronts. The commander of the left wing, Yao Yuanfu, is also a lifelong veteran, and is one of the few Central Plains generals who is an expert in foreign warfare. He is famous for fighting against Khitan and Dangxiang, and his troops are also famous for their ability to fight. Although he is old, his courage is still there.
He placed his sword two hundred steps in front of the Sichuan village and killed all those who retreated past his sword. He also ordered that the soldiers who attacked the stronghold should be killed if they dared to look back. He personally led the troops and supervised the battle from behind. There were more than a hundred people enforcing military law in front of the formation. The veteran will spur the troops with strict methods, and the effect was remarkable. Not long after the South Wall was broken, the North Wall was also broken.
On the contrary, it was the Zhongshu army in the middle. Under the command of Zhang Qianzhao, even though the pressure was huge, the generals still resisted. However, the Shu army's mountain stronghold is inherently interdependent. If both wings do bad things, how can the central stronghold survive alone? The collapse happened almost instantly. The Shu army held on for several days, but was still defeated.
On Wang Jun's side, the two thousand forbidden troops were not used in the end. The battle was fierce and dangerous. As the commander-in-chief and the person directly responsible for the war, he had to leave some leeway until it was absolutely necessary. When the victory is determined, lead people forward to carry out the finishing work and completely defeat the enemy's stronghold.
In this battle, Zhao Siwan and his "Ghost Face Capital" gained a reputation and suffered nearly 60% casualties. Wang Jun still had a grudge in his heart, but it was nothing compared to the joy of victory.
Wang Jun won the bet and achieved a great victory.
