Guan Xing did not panic when he saw this. He thought that if it was as expected by the prime minister, the plan had been decided and there must be a good plan. We should fight to the death!
Immediately, the troops were divided into two groups, and Wang Ping led an army to intercept Pan Yu, while he himself led an army to block Zhang He. The two sides fought to the death, and it was called a bloody battle.
Zhang He was greatly shocked that the Han army was ambushing here. He vaguely felt that Zhuge Liang had another trick, but at this time, the fierce battle could not allow him to think about it in detail, so he had to urge the generals to fight hard. Even if Zhuge Liang had a treacherous plan, he had to kill it first. Let’s talk about annihilating this Han army.
Although the Wei army was several times more powerful than Guan Xing and others, they were unable to spread out all their troops in this narrow valley. Therefore, Guan Xing and Wang Ping only had to deal with hundreds of people in front of them, and the Han army occupied the dangerous peaks on both sides. , the crossbowmen on the mountain were condescending and fired arrows continuously. For a while, the two armies were inextricably killed.
In the valley, one of the Han and Wei armies wanted to leave and the other wanted to stay. They were both trying their best to fight each other hand-to-hand. But they didn't expect that at this moment, in the canyon more than ten miles northeast of the valley, there was a troop of soldiers and horses sitting on the ground, looking at their flags and uniforms. The color looks like Ji Han's army.
"Your Majesty, I have reported that in the valley more than ten miles southwest, three thousand of our troops are fighting with tens of thousands of Wei troops." In the valley, an officer who looked like a captain stepped forward and reported to a young general.
"Well, as the Prime Minister expected, it seems that Anguo and the others are facing off against Zhang He."
It turned out that the young general was Yang Qing, the captain was Guliza, and the sergeants around him were Wudang Feijun.
Since Yang Qing led his troops to station here, he has sent out sentries and sent reports to people along the way. Only then did he learn about the situation in Guanxing in time. As for why they are here, we have to talk about it from yesterday morning.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already decided on a strategy to defeat the enemy. Yesterday morning he secretly summoned Yang Qing to make arrangements and ordered him to lead his army in a large circle from west to north and sneak to Jieting on the way to Fanxukou. Fight out, and if there is no fighting, continue to move forward with Liao Hua to attack the Wei army near Fanxukou.
In order to deceive others, Zhuge Liang asked Yang Qing to lead his army to pretend to return to Tianshui to rest with Jiang Wei and Huang Xi's grain escort troops. At the halfway point, Yang Qing led his troops to leave, clearing the way through the mountains, climbing over the mountains and ridges, bypassing the street pavilions along the middle path, and hiding in the canyon to wait for the enemy.
The Huizhong Road was built in the fourth year of Yuanfeng. It is an ancient longitudinal road that runs through Muxia Road, Jitou Road, Fanxu Road and Longdi Road.
In the past, Emperor Guangwu personally conquered Kaixiao, but because Kaixiao guarded Fanxukou, the Han army could not advance to Long for a long time.
At this time, the famous general She Ze led more than 2,000 people to clear the mountains and clear a road. He detoured from Fanxu and Huizhong to attack Lueyang. He killed the general and captured the city in one fell swoop. He successfully wedged a nail in the rear of Kaixiao, forcing him to follow Fanxu. Xukou withdrew his army and turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop.
In view of the stories of previous sages, Zhuge Liang did the opposite. This time, he asked Yang Qing to bypass the street pavilion, lie in wait between the street pavilion and Fanxukou, and defeat Zhang He's army in one fell swoop.
"Bo Yue, the time has come, it's our turn." Yang Qing turned around and said to the young general beside him.
This man was Jiang Wei, who was invited by Yang Qing to serve as a guide to lead the army. Although it was not a problem for the unworthy flying army to cross mountains and ridges, the most important thing was to know the way.
It just so happened that Jiang Wei, as a native of Longyou, was familiar with the geography of Longyou, so it was most appropriate for him to lead the way. In addition, with this person assisting in conducting, Yang Qing himself felt more relaxed.
Jiang Wei nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Please give me the order."
Soon, three thousand Wudang flying troops, led by Yang Qing, rushed towards the valley where the Han and Wei armies were fighting. Although they were walking on rugged mountain roads, these sergeants all walked vigorously, as if they were walking on flat ground, and they marched very fast. .
However, they said that the Han and Wei armies were still fighting fiercely in the valley. Although Guan Xing and Wang Ping still managed to hold on to their positions, Zhang He had already changed his strategy.
Seeing that the terrain was unfavorable for his army to spread out, he ordered hundreds of people to rush forward and kill each other. As a result, the Han army suffered more and more losses, and the entire Han army was gradually compressed smaller and smaller, even on the top of the mountain. Some of the most dangerous points were taken away by the Wei army.
"Something is not good. Why hasn't the prime minister's last move appeared yet? Could something have happened?" Guan Xing has become anxious now that the battle has begun.
"kill......"
At this moment, a Han army suddenly came out of the path to the north of the valley and cut Zhang He's troops into two sections.
The people who came were none other than the Wudang flying army led by Yang Qing. They came quickly, with drums and horns blaring and flags flying. They took advantage of the chaos and fought their way out, filling the mountains and plains.
"The main force of the Han army has arrived. How long will it take if we don't surrender?" Yang Qing took the opportunity to shout, disturbing the morale of the Wei army.
Zhang He was shocked when he saw another Han army coming. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Our army is at rest!" Even so, he still raised his sword as soon as he finished speaking, bursting out with unyielding fighting spirit.
However, although he tried his best to call for a fight to the death, the morale of the Wei soldiers had been reduced due to the withdrawal. Up to now, the battle had been supported by a belief in survival. But now that the Han people had come to reinforce them, they were suddenly disappointed and the soldiers were in panic. .
The four generals Yang Qing, Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, and Wang Ping rushed their troops to cover up the enemy. The Wei army was immediately defeated and scattered. Only Zhang Hedai Ling gathered two to three thousand people into a formation and still resisted.
After a while, another blast of horns came from the west. Thousands of cavalry rushed towards them like a strong wind. The first general was Wei Yan.
It turned out that Wei Yan and Wu Yi commanded the troops to finally extinguish the fire in Wei camp in the middle of the night. They wanted to quickly pursue Zhang He eastward, but unexpectedly they encountered Qiu Yan's troops to stop him at the rear camp.
With no other choice, Wei Yan and Wu Yi had no choice but to lead their troops to attack the rear stronghold of the Wei army. They fought until dawn and barely opened a passage. Therefore, Wei Yan left Wu Yi to lead the infantry to continue besieging Qiu Yan tribe, while he himself led the sudden and scattered cavalry to pursue Zhang He.
Just when the Wei army was in chaos, Wei Yan led his troops to attack like chopping melons and vegetables. There was almost no strong resistance, and countless Wei soldiers were killed in the battle.
Zhang He and Dai Ling finally saw that they were alone, and led their trusted soldiers to the remote mountain road. This time, the Wei army had no desire to fight. They either ran away or knelt down and asked to surrender. The battle ended with the victory of the Han army. .
"Anguo." The war ended and Yang Qing found Guan Xing.
Guan Xing looked back and said happily: "Brother."
"Haha, An Guo led the troops to stop the enemy in this battle, which is a great achievement." Yang Qing said with a smile.
Guan Xing said: "Brother is joking. If he hadn't arrived in time, Xing would have been in danger."
"Yes." Yang Qing nodded slightly and asked, "Have you ever been injured?"
"Never." Guan Xing shook his head and asked, "Where is my brother?"
Yang Qing also shook his head and said: "No." After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Have you ever caught a big fish in this battle?"
Guan Xing smiled bitterly and said: "No, Pan Yu saw the opportunity very quickly. As soon as his brother came, he abandoned the army and fled. He was at the easternmost part of the valley. We couldn't stop him, so we had to watch him run away. Now General Zijun has led his troops to pursue him, hoping to catch this guy."
"Zhang He is also gone. In the chaos just now, someone saw him running south over the mountains. I have asked Buddy to lead the Wudang Flying Army to chase him. Whether we can capture this person depends on luck." Yang Qing said.
At this time, Wei Yan rode up to the two men and said: "Mingzhi and Anguo, you will stay to clean the battlefield and send people to report the victory to the prime minister. I will lead the cavalry to Fanxukou and Liao Yuanjian to annihilate the Wei army in one fell swoop." Then, without waiting for Yang Qingguanxing to respond, he led the cavalry eastward.
"General Wei is so rude. Does he regard you and me as his subordinates?" Guan Xing looked at Wei Yan's retreating back and couldn't help but said angrily.
Yang Qing also frowned, patted Guan Xing on the shoulder after a moment, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it is indeed most appropriate for the cavalry to attack the Wei soldiers at Fanxukou at this time. Wei Wenchang has that temperament, I will wait Don’t take it to heart, just calculate how much you can gain from this battle.”
"Brother said yes." Guan Xing nodded.
After cleaning the battlefield, Yang Qing, Guan Xing and others led the victorious army back to Jieting. On the other side, Wu Yi also successfully broke through Wei Zhai and defeated Qiu Yan's tribe. Qiu Yan was too injured to escape and was captured. Half of his troops were wiped out and half surrendered. Only a few of them escaped by chance.
After receiving the good news, Zhuge Liang went out of the city to greet the victorious army in person. When Yang Qing and Guan Xing returned with their troops, the entire army gathered together with thunderous cheers and shouts of victory.
This is a hearty victory, this is a hard-fought victory, this is a victory that has not been seen for a long time.
Since Emperor Zhaolie's great victory in Hanzhong and since Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army, Ji Han's army has not achieved a major victory in almost ten years, wiping out tens of thousands of enemies.
For this battle, the Han army had been waiting for a long time. After ten years of hard work and ten years of gathering, the Han army finally survived the decline of the Jingzhou and Yiling battles. The Han army could finally compete with the Wei and Wu armies for world supremacy. How could this not be surprising? Excited?
Zhuge Liang was also filled with excitement and thoughts. He led the generals to the top of the street pavilion and cheered heartily with the soldiers.
