Chapter 423: Take Nanyang Lightly(1/2)
Deputy Director Tao once again led his army to attack Jingzhou, raising the banner of revenge, and attacked the north and south in a row, and attacked the counties of Jingxiang with the force of Mount Tai to suppress the top. The news spread, and of course the counties of Jingxiang were panicked, the soldiers and civilians were frightened, and old age was sick.
The plagued Liu Biao even held military meetings for several days to discuss strategies to fight the enemy. The result of the negotiation surprised the military, civilians and officials and generals of the counties of Jingxiang. Liu Biao actually appointed his eldest son Liu Qi as the commander of the entire army again.
The soldiers of Jingzhou resisted the barbaric invasion of the Xuzhou army!
Of course, Liu Biao was helpless. Among the generals who could stand alone in Jingzhou, Wenpin's guard Jiang Xia could not be transferred. Huang Zu was already afraid of being beaten by Deputy Director Tao. When he heard that the Xuzhou soldiers were desperate to resist, the first thing was
It is urged Liu Biao to seek peace from Deputy Director Tao, without the determination and courage to fight to the end. Even if he takes the risk of entrusting all the Jingxiang army to him, it will be useless. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are even more amazing, and in order to remove Liu Qi for Liu Cong's successor
This stumbling block even brought up the bad idea of persuading Liu Biao to imitate Yan Wangxi to kill his eldest son, which made Liu Biao furious and scolded Cai Mao brothers and Zhang Yun together, which was naturally even more unlikely.
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were appointed as the commanders of the entire army.
So Liu Biao had no choice but to bite the bullet and use his eldest son again. At the same time, Liu Qi is also the only available candidate. First, of course, it is absolutely reliable, second, it is determined to resist the Xuzhou army to the end, and third, it is Liu Qi who is fine, at least
The Kuai family also had support from the Kuai family, and the Kuai family, tied to a rope with Liu Qi, had no choice but to fully support Liu Qi and the Xuzhou army to fight to the end. At the same time, in order to make Liu Qi able to defend Huang Zu and Cai Mao and other veterans of Jingzhou.
The last general and Liu Biao also entrusted his sword seal letter to his eldest son, asking Liu Qi to reward and kill him on his behalf.
After careful discussion with supporters such as Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue for a long time, Liu Qi quickly announced his strategy to defend the enemy and ordered Zhang Yun to lead half of the navy to reinforce Xiakou. Jiang Xia Wenpin
The team was divided into two, and the navy and Zhang Yun guarded Xiakou together. Wen Pin led the army to guard Wuchang. He also sent Liu Xianhe to Deng Yi to go to Jiangling, a heavy place of money and grain to defend the city to prevent the delay of the southern Xuzhou army.
Go north until winter, the wind turns to the Jingzhou Navy, and then plots to counterattack. On this side of the northern line, Liu Qi ordered Cai Mao to lead his army to guard Deng County, Hanshui, and lead 60,000 main force to go north to Xinye. Together with Huang Zu's team, the force of about 40,000 was
, 100,000 troops were combined to use Xinye as the strategic support point to resist the barbarian invasion of the Xuzhou army.
In mid-October, the main force of Xuzhou led by Deputy Director Tao arrived in Wancheng and met with Chen Dao and Taishici team stationed here. However, what made Liu Qi, Kuai Yue and others confused was that Deputy Director Tao arrived in Wan
After the city, he did not take another step south for ten consecutive days. He just sent Chen Dao to lead his army of 20,000 west to attack Anzhong, Rangcheng and other places in the southwest of Nanyang. The main force remained in Wancheng.
After hearing about this, Liu Qi and Kuai Yue were inevitably confused. Because according to the analysis of Liu Qi and the Kuai brothers, the Xuzhou army, which had just been pacified for one year in the three northern prefectures, should not be sufficient in subsequent food and supplies, and should be seized.
The fighter jets are about to fight quickly. Now Deputy Director Tao is not in a hurry to attack the southern part of Nanyang where the main force of Jingzhou is stationed, and only sends a partial army to the flank of the Nanyang defense line of Jingzhou Army. All this is inevitable that it is very unreasonable. In surprise, Kuai Yue inevitably doubts Tao again.
The deputy director wanted to induce the main force of Jingzhou to leave the Xinye defense line with deep walls and high barriers. He took the initiative to go west to fight with Chen Dao, and then immediately dispatched the main force to fight against the main force of Jingzhou in the wild. Therefore, Kuai Yue urged Liu Qi to hold on and wait and see what happened.
Because they did not receive reinforcements from the main force, the two small cities of Fengyang and Anzhong, which had few troops stationed, were soon captured and surrendered by Chen Dao. Chen, the general of Huang Zu, stationed in Rangcheng, repeatedly sent envoys to ask for help from Liu Qi, Huang Zhong and Deng Long, who were in charge of help.
The generals also asked Liu Qi to send troops to rescue Rangcheng as soon as possible so as not to cut off the contact between the main force of Jingzhou and the northwest of Nanyang by the Xuzhou army. However, Liu Qi was also afraid that this was Deputy Director Tao's plan to lure the enemy, so he did not dare to send a soldier.
The soldiers went to rescue Chen. Chen Dao took the opportunity to surround Rangcheng, and cut off the direct contact between the main force of Jingzhou and Shunyang, Shangjun and Liguo. At the same time, he attacked Rangcheng continuously. Chen asked for help, but Liu Qi refused to send troops to rescue him.
.
At this time, the Xuzhou army finally took action again. Taishi Ci led his army of 20,000 to go south, crossed Jiyang from the west bank of the Qingshui River to take Yuyang directly, and directly attacked Huang Zu's team stationed in Yuyang. Huang Zu hurriedly went to Liu Qi after hearing the news.
Notifying this matter, he also lowered his posture and invited Liu Qi to join forces to deal with Taishi Ci's side troops, a separate army. Seeing that Deputy Director Tao's use of troops was even more unreasonable, he was even more afraid to leave Xinye's important place without permission, and just ordered Huang
Zu stood by Jiyang and watched the fighter missed, which made Huang Zu so angry that he overturned the table on the spot, scolding Liu Qi as cowardly as a mouse than his father. Then Huang Zu also gave up angrily and mobilized Jiyang troops to carry them in front and back.
The plan of Taishi Ci was ordered to only guard Yuyang and not fight against Taishi Ci.
Taishici's team successfully stood firm on the Yuyang battlefield, and the deep grooves and high acres were firmly in the position. When they received the news that Deputy Director Tao sent Zhao Yun to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Jiyang, Liu Qi and Kuai Yue understood their own army.
Having fallen into the trap of Deputy Director Tao, the three major cities of the Jingzhou Army's northern defense line, Rangcheng, Yuyang and Jiyang are no longer surrounded by Xuzhou's partial divisions, or have been restrained by Xuzhou's partial divisions, and have played a great role in Xuzhou's large number of soldiers.
The Jingzhou Army unknowingly fell into absolute passiveness, either they had to be defeated by each one, or they could only bite the bullet and let the main team leave the new field battlefield of deep ditch and high bases to rescue them.
Or the three major military centers that were restrained - and then naturally we have to face the decisive battle against the main force of the Xuzhou army.
It was too late to curse Deputy Director Tao as a treacherous. The weak Jiyang Su Fei and Rangcheng Chen could only support him under the fierce attack of the Xuzhou army and desperately asked for help. The original main team of Huang Zu of Nanyang was defeated by Taishi Ci.
Firmly restrained and unable to send reinforcements, Liu Qi would not send troops, but he could only watch Su Fei and Chen be defeated by the Xuzhou army. Forced to helplessness, Liu Qi could only lead 50,000 troops north to Yuyang.
Reinforced Huang Zu, trying to drive Taishi Ci away first, help Huang Zu get rid of the entanglement, and then try to rescue the siege of Rangcheng and Jiyang.
Of course, Deputy Director Tao was waiting for the main force in Jingzhou left Xinye. After discovering that Liu Qi led his army to rescue Huang Zu, Taishici, who had been operating in Nanyang for three years, released a flying pigeon. It took only one day to get the news.
Sent to Wancheng, Deputy Director Tao immediately led the main force to Yuyang. At the same time, Taishi Ci adopted the tactic of not being able to defend the camp and delayed the time. He restrained Liu Qi and Huang Zu's main force. Three days later, Deputy Director Tao himself led the sixth.
When the main force of Wan came to the Yuyang battlefield, Liu Qi didn't want to fight the decisive battle in the jungle with Deputy Director Tao, and there was no way to make the main force of nearly 70,000 Jingzhou retreat into the city and hold on.
When forced to fight, the veteran Jingzhou general Huang Zhong offered Liu Qi a plan, which was to let Liu Qi come forward to lure Deputy Director Tao into the formation and answer, hiding himself in the flag formation waiting for an opportunity, and waiting for Deputy Director Tao to come out of the formation. He immediately
The Pegasus rushed out and shot Deputy Director Tao to death with an arrow! Liu Qi thought it was good and immediately adopted it.
Unfortunately, in front of the two armies, when Liu Qi came out to earn Deputy Director Tao's answer in person, only Ma Zhong ran out of the Xuzhou army, mocking Liu Qi and said, "Young Master Liu, what official position are you in the court?
Any title that is worthy of answering to my lord, Taiwei Tao, in front of the formation? Don’t waste your energy. If you have the courage, send the generals out and fight happily. If you don’t have the courage, put down your weapons and surrender immediately. For me,
In the face of Mr. Zhongming, the important military official, my lord may spare your life."
Deputy Director Tao deliberately contempts Liu Qi so much, of course, to anger Liu Qi to make him fight. Liu Qi, who was young and enraged in Chaisang, was indeed trapped and immediately arranged for Huang Zhong to fight. Deputy Director Tao met the Jingzhou Army.
Huang Zhong was the one who came out to fight, and he did not dare to be negligent. While asking Wei Yan to come out to fight Huang Zhong, he arranged for Huang Zhong's nemesis to serve the marquis.
As a result, something very interesting happened. After Wei Yan came out to fight Huang Zhong for 30 or 40 rounds, Huang Zhong found that the enemy on the other side had a thrust into the hand, so he also had a secret arrow to hurt people and pretended to sell it.
A flaw plucked the horse and left, secretly took the bow and arrow in his hand, and suddenly turned around and shot the arrow when Wei Yan came to chase him. Wei Yan was caught off guard and hurriedly avoided. The arrow was almost dropped. Huang Zhong returned to the horse and killed Wei Yanshi, and Ma Zhong had already released the arrow secretly.
, also an arrow hit Huang Zhong's shoulder. Huang Zhong screamed and left, fighting with Wei Yan, both sides were injured.
After shooting Huang Zhong, Ma Zhong abandoned the bow on the ground, carried a gun and drove a horse to kill Huang Zhong. Deng Long hurried out from the Jingzhou formation to respond, but when the two generals fought again, Deng Long couldn't stand it and could fight one person.
The little monster Ma Zhong, who was joined by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, was soon killed by Ma Zhong and was in a mess. He could not resist and hurriedly drove away. However, Ma Zhong caught up from behind and stabbed Deng Long down on the horse with a shot. Jingzhou
The army's morale was greatly reduced, and Deputy Director Tao took the opportunity to attack the enemy's formation and launched a battle with the Jingzhou team.
When the two armies were fighting, the combat effectiveness advantages of the main force of the Xuzhou army were immediately revealed. The Danyang elite soldiers, who were injured by secret arrows, so angry that they resolutely asked for battle. Under the leadership of Wei Yan, who was injured, they rushed to the front of the Jingzhou military formation.
Ma Yan led an army to detour behind the Jingzhou military formation. Lu Kuang's team attacked the left wing of the Jingzhou army. The three-way attacked the Jingzhou military formation with strong defense but severe lack of mobility. Although the Jingzhou army fought desperately, the morale was low.
Before the battle, I was afraid, and soon I couldn't stand it. The team began to shake. Liu Qi was very anxious and had to order the general Zhao Chen to lead the army. The right wing, which had never been attacked, came out to attack the wing of Wei Yan's team, who rushed the most powerfully.
, slow down the offensive of the Xuzhou army and stabilize the position again.
Deputy Director Tao refused to attack the right wing of Jingzhou Army. Of course, it was not that the generals in his hands were insufficient to fight the troops, because first, the right wing of Jingzhou Army was close to the Qingshui River, which was not conducive to the development of troops. Second, Deputy Director Tao of course also hoped that the Jingzhou army would leave.
The strong defense of the square and circular formation - then let go of the massacre! So Zhao Chen's team had just stepped out of the formation and had not had time to surround the wings of Wei Yan's team, Deputy Director Tao gently pushed his mouth, and had not yet surrendered to the Xuzhou army.
Jiang Qi, the general of Jizhou who made some contributions, could not wait to lead the army out and catch the battle between Zhao Chen.
Jiang Qi's team is indeed not the elite opponent of Xuzhou's front-line, but it is more than enough to bully Jingzhou Shui Monkey. The two armies fought together for only a moment, and Zhao Chen's team couldn't bear it anymore and was stared at by Jiang Qi.
Zhao Chen took the lead in escaping back to the formation, and thousands of Jingzhou soldiers followed one after another. When the Jingzhou soldiers guarding with shields hurriedly made way, Jiang Qi's team also took the opportunity to break into the Jingzhou army's phalanx, and then came first.
It disrupted the phalanx of a Jingzhou army, and killed more Jingzhou army to fight to other phalanxes, and fought for the vanguard for the Xuzhou army for free. Jiang Qi, who had been in the battlefield for decades, took the opportunity to chase the army and conquered multiple Jingzhou one after another.
In the military formation, a large number of Jingzhou soldiers abandoned the formation and left, and the formation was quickly in chaos.
This naturally formed a chain reaction, and the more thousands of troops of Jingzhou troops were destroyed, the more defeated Jingzhou troops in the Jingzhou troops, the more defeated soldiers were, the more soldiers were in chaos and defeat, and the policy of being disrupted by their own defeated soldiers was naturally the
The more the military morale is, of course, the more panicked. The teams on the back and left wing that could barely block the Xuzhou army's attack were quickly affected, Wei Yan and Ma Yan
The three generals Lu Kuang took the opportunity to attack with all their strength, and soon they broke out the rigorous teams of many enemies. Before the battle, the extremely strict Jingzhou square formation gradually collapsed for nearly half.
If Deputy Director Tao still doesn't know how to seize such a good opportunity, then Deputy Director Tao has been hanging out for nothing in the battlefield at the end of the Han Dynasty over the years. As the drum beats, Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu two generals led an army to rush out again.
, headed into the already chaotic Jingzhou Army formation. The unstoppable force took the Jingzhou Army's command flag formation, and the slogan of capturing Liu Qi alive was shaken. The Jingzhou Army could not withstand the chaos in the formation. The Xuzhou army took the opportunity to drive in, and the six routes advanced together to point together.
Seeing this, although Liu Qi still wanted to work hard to restrain the team from defeat, Kuai Yue quit. He quickly grabbed Liu Qi and asked for Mingjin. Liu Qi argued for a few words, but in the end he could not withstand Kuai Yue's persuasion.
, ordered the retreat of Mingjin.
In fact, since the moment Liu Qi and Kuai Yue were forced to fight against Xuzhou's main force, no matter how Liu Qi commanded the battle, the Jingzhou army was doomed to be defeated in a disastrous defeat, because the Jingzhou army was in terms of quantity and
In terms of quality, it is far from the main force of the Xuzhou army's northern line. Even if Liu Qi refuses to order the gold medal, he will be defeated by the Xuzhou army sooner or later. Liu Qi's order to call gold medals on the formation is just to give many Jingzhou
The soldiers had the opportunity to escape. However, the main force of Xuzhou, who finally caught the chance to fight, said that he would not miss the opportunity to behead and make meritorious service. As the drums of war sounded, the Xuzhou army rushed together and pursued Jingzhou with all their might.
The army was so scared that the corpses were everywhere. Deputy Director Tao also led the main brigade to chase him and calmly chased the defeated brigade of Jingzhou Army.
This cannot be regarded as a decisive battle, it can only be said to be a massacre. In the pursuit battle, the soldiers of Jingzhou soldiers who had neither the will of fighting nor the will of fighting threw their flags and dragged their swords, stomped on each other, trampled on each other, and fled.
The mountains and fields were everywhere, and countless dead surrendered. The Xuzhou team, with a rainbow of morale, was advancing rapidly. The infantry chased the butts of the defeated Jingzhou team, and the cavalry kept circling and detouring, repeatedly rushed forward to intercept the defeated Jingzhou team.
The soldiers of Jingzhou who were frightened by the army were defeated again and could not resist the pursuit of the Xuzhou army. Liu Qi, Kuai Yue and others were unwilling to fight and just fled to the Yuyang Camp.
After receiving the news of Liu Qi's defeat, Huang Zu, who stayed in the Jingzhou Army camp, took the initiative to lead the army to respond, seeing that Liu Qi had been doing well for him over the years. However, Deputy Director Tao quickly sent an order to order Wei Yan and Xu
Huang and Zhang Xiu and other six armies came around from the flanks of Huang Zu's team and ordered Xu Chu to lead a new force to attack the front of Huang Zu's team. Xu Chu, who was tied up by Deputy Director Tao's Yan Ling, was out of the cage and was in the formation.
middle
He killed six generals of Huang Zu. Huang Zu's team was shocked. Huang Zu turned around and fled first. Xu Chu led his army to chase him. He used Huang Zu's team as the free vanguard and rushed straight into the Jingzhou camp. Deputy Director Tao personally led the army to kill.
After entering the enemy camp, he kicked over the Jingzhou camp with one kick. Huang Zu and Liu Qi could not resist it. They were forced to give up the camp and Yuyang City and flee south. Xuzhou army chased for forty miles until it was dark. Huang Zu
The team with Liu Qi stopped chasing after escaping from the water.
Finally, he escaped the water in a slow water flow. Liu Qi and Huang Zu's team did not dare to stop. They lost all the way and fled to Xinye City before they were shocked, but when they counted the people around them, they were less than 3,000. Seeing the Yuyang battlefield
The 70,000 army was only left with such a little force. After all, the young Liu Qi couldn't help crying loudly. Huang Zu, who often suffered defeat, was used to it. While sending people to summon various defeated ants to gather in Xinye, he sent people to report to Xiangyang urgently.
Requesting Liu Biao to sanction the office. Kuai Yue also comforted Liu Qi again and again, saying that the Yuyang area was wide and there was a clear water to resist the pursuers. Although the self-army was defeated, it would never really defeat so many troops at once, and the dispersed soldiers were also
He will definitely return to Xinye and return to the team, and he will persuade Liu Qi to stop crying.
As Kuai Yue expected, the Yuyang battlefield was open after all, and there was clean water to allow Jingzhou teams familiar with water to escape. So after more than a day, the Xinye area soon gathered nearly 40,000 defeated Jingzhou soldiers again, and the Jingzhou army's military power was
When Liu Qi was somewhat confident, bad news came from Rangcheng to the west. Chen, who was guarding Rangcheng, heard that the main force in Jingzhou was defeated, and finally accepted the letters of his friend Wei Yan and opened Rangcheng.
Surrender to Chen Dao. Then news came from Yuyang, directly north. Seeing that the main force was defeated, the defenders in Yuyang City also opened the city gate to surrender, causing the Nanyang defense line carefully arranged by the Jingzhou army to collapse instantly, north of Xinye,
