Chapter 962 The loss is not small
The situation of Liu Bei's army was like a surging tide that rushed into the shallows covered with reefs, which suddenly aroused countless splashes, and the impact was also curbed a lot.
Zhang Fei shouted and led the army to rush forward, and the fierce collision and shouting sounded! Liu Bei's cavalry broke through the heavy obstacles and came to the front of the Qin army formation! However, what appeared in front of them was not a chaotic scene, but a rigorous military formation! The Qin army spearmen had already arranged into a dense gun formation, while the crossbowmen were all ready to go! Liu Bei's cavalry shouted and sang horses and charged, like a wave sweeping towards the Qin army! Shooting arrows! As a general shouted loudly.
The Qin army crossbowmen who had been ready to go fired arrows together, and the dense arrows rushed into the cavalry wave. I saw people surging up the horses, and the surging wave seemed to have been stirred up countless ripples! However, this could not stop the Liu Bei army's cavalry's advance. The wave seemed to have just paused and rushed towards the Qin army with a more fierce momentum! It roared, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and the earth was trembling under their iron hooves! In a blink of an eye, the ferocious wave collided heavily on the Qin army's defense line! It was as if the waves were slamming against the shore, and the scene was very shocking! However, the scene of the Qin army collapsed and flesh flying everywhere did not appear, and the fierce cavalry wave suddenly stopped in front of the Qin army's defense line! No
Liu Bei's cavalry was stabbed into a hornet's nest by a dense gun array. The sharp gun array of Qin's army blocked the impact of Liu Bei's cavalry. Liu Bei's cavalry was crowded in front of the Qin army's front and could not move forward for a while! At this moment, the Qin army's powerful crossbows were shooting, and powerful crossbow arrows roared out, making the Liu Bei's cavalry crowded in front of the army's formation go up and overturned! Then the sound of war drums rumbling, and the dense gun array began to advance. The dense gun array formed by sharp spears was in a forward direction, and the enemy cavalry blocked in front of him fell to the ground one by one, and the flesh and blood were flying everywhere! Zhang Fei was extremely angry when he saw this scene, but he also felt that the opportunity to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop, so he immediately decided to lead the army out of the battle and retreat to the south.
The attack was extremely rapid and it was extremely easy to go. In a short while, the fierce battlefield returned to peace and the enemy cavalry disappeared without a trace! Zhuge Liang did not dare to be careless and ordered the army to continue to be on guard, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the enemy's movements.
After confirming that the enemy was indeed far away, most of the troops were ordered to lift their guards and clean up the battlefield.
Zhuge Liang stood on a high place, looking at the messy battlefield, frowned.
A general rushed to Zhuge Liang, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the military advisor, the casualties statistics are roughly out.
Our army was killed nearly 3,000 people, injured more than 3,000 people, and injured nearly 7,000 people.
The enemy's casualties were only three thousand people.
…” Zhuge Liang was depressed and said with a self-deprecating look: “Our Qin army has hardly lost in the past two years! I am a unique person this time!”
The general couldn't help but say, "Actually, the enemy did not succeed in this battle, and at most it could only be considered a draw!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and frowned and said, "I didn't expect the enemy's actions, and our army suffered more than twice the casualties than the enemy. This is not a defeat, what is a defeat!"
The general could not speak when he heard this.
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and ordered: "Send all troops to continue to march towards Wudu! At the same time, send all scouts to the surrounding area to guard!"
The general replied and hurried down.
The scout, Zhuge Liang's troops were not attacked again. In the afternoon, tens of thousands of troops led by Zhuge Liang successfully entered the city of Wudu County.
However, after entering the city, what caught my eye was an empty and deserted city. The huge city was actually empty, and there was no barking of a dog.
Zhuge Liang ordered the army to station in the city, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate south, and sent messengers to Hanyang in the north to inform Hanyang about the situation here.
That night, the messenger sent to Hanyang led the messenger sent by Hanyang back to Zhuge Liang, clasped his fists and said, "Qi Bing, General Dian Wei has already sent Hanyang to lead the army, and he will arrive in Wudu County in about a day."
Zhuge Liang nodded, looked at the envoy sent by Hanyang, and asked, "Is it Mrs. Yueying who led the army in person?"
The messenger clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the military advisor, the wife did not come, but ordered General Dian Wei to lead his army to come.
The lady has already gone to Wuwei at this moment. Before leaving, the lady specifically told her that the military advisors would be responsible for all the places like Wudu, Hanyang, and Chencang."
Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Then he said to the messenger: "Go and tell your wife, and tell the lord that Wudu County has been successfully captured and the enemy has retreated to Xichuan.
My suggestion is that the attack on Liu Bei can come to an end."
The messenger held his fists and agreed and retreated.
Ailang leaned against the pillow, hugging Huang Yueying, who was completely limp in his arms.
Huang Yueying seemed to feel something, raised her head and blushed, "Husband, you, if you haven't had enough fun, don't care too much, you can continue to mess with your little sister!" Ai Lang couldn't help but feel heart swaying when he heard her words, and then hugged Huang Yueying and asked, "What are you talking about?
Why can't I understand?"
Huang Yueying glanced at Ailang angrily and said angrily: "Husband is here to tease my little sister again!"
Then he blushed and said seriously: "As a wife, you can't make your husband enjoy his whole life. Isn't it a way to be a wife? In fact, you don't have to worry, you can bear it! And, and..." Speaking of this, Huang Yueying's voice suddenly became so low that she could almost no longer hear it. The tenderness in her beautiful eyes was like water, and an extremely moving expression was rippling.
Ailang felt a sudden heart, hugged Huang Yueying and asked, "Why don't you finish speaking?
And what?"
Huang Yueying glanced at Ailang and said leisurely: "My little sister envies Sister Yan, Diao Chan and the others. How great would it be if the little sister could have a cute daughter?"
Ailang smiled, stretched out his finger and picked up Huang Yueying's chin, kissed her red lips, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Then we have to work hard these days! We will try to get this done!"
Huang Yueying looked at Ailang with bright eyes, looking very eager.
Thinking of the current situation in Xiliang, Ailang couldn't help but say: "Now the whole Xiliang has been recovered.
Next, are you going to capture Xichuan?”
When Huang Yueying talks about serious matters, she becomes like a saint, but she is not in a slim look into her lover's arms at this moment, but she shows a strange charm.
Ailang couldn't help but be stunned.
Huang Yueying thought: "Really speaking, Liu Bei suffered heavy losses and his morale was a great opportunity to attack Xichuan in one fell swoop! However, the situation in Xichuan is different from other places. The mountains and rivers are steep and natural fortresses! Although Liu Bei suffered a lot, the remaining power should not be underestimated. It is almost impossible to seize Xichuan in an eager manner! The news from General Ma Chao's side also confirms this judgment.
Although General Ma Chao and his team captured Jiameng Pass in one fell swoop, they were unable to break through Yangping Pass and Jiange, but instead lost a lot of people."
He looked at Ailang and said, "My little sister thinks that the war against Liu Bei should be paused."
Ailang laughed.
Seeing this, Huang Yueying thought she had said something wrong, so she couldn't help but blush and asked, "Did you say something wrong with me?"
Ailang shook his head and smiled, "No.
But the same was said in the oral message that Kong Ming asked someone to send.
This is really the same as a hero!”
Huang Yueying nodded and asked, "I heard that Mr. Zhuge suffered a minor setback in Wudu County?"
Ailang smiled and said, "That's nothing.
He was ambushed and lost thousands of people.
This shows that Zhuge Kongming is still just a person after all, not a god with a clever idea.
He can be considered a wise man, but sometimes he cannot be considered a reckless man.
I saw Kong Ming that he never dreamed that he would be ambushed by Zhang Fei in Wudu County and fell into a reckless man's hands!"
Huang Yueying only felt that what her husband said made sense, and nodded with a smile.
Ailang thought for a moment and said, "I plan to stay here in Xiliang for a while.
After all, Xiliang has just recovered, and it is a waste of money! It is better for me to be in charge here!"
Huang Yueying's eyes lit up and she praised: "Husband is right!"
Ailang looked at Huang Yueying and joked, "Yueying, you are a drunk man. It's not about wine, but about..." Speaking of this, he took a hand under the quilt. Huang Yueying exclaimed, looked at Ailang with watery eyes, and then he showed an angry expression.
Ailang smiled proudly, then curled his smile and thought, "You will be responsible for internal affairs, Yueying.
As for the Qiang people and the Western Regions,..." Ai Lang frowned slightly when he said this, looking a little embarrassed.
Huang Yueying understood his husband's thoughts and said, "My sister has thought about this carefully on the way here.
Logically speaking, after defeating Liu Bei and seizing Xiliang in one fell swoop, we should divert our attention to the increase in the Central Plains.
However, the Western Regions coalition forces have just been severely damaged, and the countries are in panic. This is a great opportunity for us to lose control of the Western Regions!"
Ailang nodded and said, "Yes, the Silk Road can gain huge benefits for us, and controlling the Western Regions is the most important part of controlling the Silk Road! In the past, the Han army continued to fight westward, which is probably the most important reason. However, historians from Confucian origin always avoided the topic of interests, so this statement is not seen in history books. In the end, it became a far-fetched statement that Emperor Wu of Han mobilized many people to refute for a horse. It was simply inexplicable and outrageous!"
Huang Yueying couldn't help but nodded.
Ailang thought for a while and asked: "How to deal with the problems in the Western Regions?
Take the opportunity to send troops?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "My sister thinks that sending troops directly is the ultimate solution, and in that way, we are placed in a position opposite to the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Even if we win in the end, we will probably pay a considerable price! Even if we want to send troops, it is best to send troops after we get the invitation of a certain country in the Western Regions!"
He paused, "Since the destruction of the Northern Xiongnu, Wusun has captured all the old lands of the Northern Xiongnu and has become the most powerful country in the Western Regions! Many of the 36 countries in the Western Regions are subject to their exploitation and coercion, so we can make a big fuss about it!" Ailang's eyes lit up, and his palm gently slapped Huang Yueying's buttocks, and praised: "Good plan! Let's sow discord to control the barbarians, haha! Good plan! Good plan!"
As he said that, he patted Huang Yueying on the buttocks again.
Huang Yueying looked at Ailang with a delicate and scorching color, as if she was very excited. However, Ailang was excited about Huang Yueying's plan at this moment, but he didn't notice this.
Huang Yueying calmed down and continued: "I think that the Queen of Jingjue is the key to implementing this strategy.
Husband should have a good talk with her and then let her and her troops go back."
Ailang asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Chapter completed!
