Chapter 72 Expecting the enemy to win
After all, Wen Chou has seen big scenes. He has fought tens of thousands of troops in the enemy and us, and has an extraordinary view of the overall situation. In this small battle that has gained a advantage in territory, attacked the few with the enemy with only a thousand people, although he is also worried, he does not need to consider the specific tactics and the enemy. With just one thought, he can find the right way and draw the correct conclusion.
As he expected, the course of the battle was exactly the same as he expected.
After seeing Zhou Lu's troops arrive, Dong Bing really dared not fight back. First, the cavalry on the periphery fled, and then the cavalry surrounded by Wenba also lost their fighting spirit and broke through and fled. If he really couldn't escape the siege, he simply knelt down and surrendered.
Hundreds of Dong Qi fled to the northwest in a hurry, trying to escape from Yingchuan and rush back to the camp. Before they fled far away, they ran into Liu Qing's ambush and were stopped and intercepted.
Liu Qing's cavalry was responsible for intercepting and blocking Dong Bing's reinforcements. After all, this cavalry did not fall from the sky, but came from Dong's camp in the northwest of Liang County. Wen Chou didn't know how many troops they sent, and whether they had any support. However, in the end, no reinforcements from Dong's army came.
Wenba, Zhou Lu, and Liu Qing worked together to annihilate all the thousands of Dong cavalry, beheaded more than 800 people, and captured 200 people.
The invading soldiers of Dong Zhuo's troops this time were all elite soldiers. Although the military discipline of Dong's army was not very good, their combat effectiveness was first-class. Therefore, the two hundred prisoners Wen Chou had no life to kill them, but instead they were asked to join the prisoner camp, and they were asked to do some hard work first and then deal with them after the battle.
In the first battle against Dong, he tried his best, Wen Chou defeated the few with the crowd and won a great victory.
When the battle report reached the back, Sun Jian heard this, he paused and said repeatedly: "I regret that I lost to Zixiao, so he would steal the first victory!"
When it was later passed to the back, all the captains in Yuzhou were happy to hear it. They all said, "Thousands of enemy cavalry died in half a day, and those who are civil and military, truly and good at fighting!"
The news came out and the whole army was excited.
The enemy who came to test was wiped out. If you move forward further, you will be free from the ground of Liang County. You will not be able to walk along the Ru River. You can see Liang County on the other side of the river from afar.
The county town of Liang County is located on the south bank of Rushui and is very close to the water.
During the Warring States Period, it was called "Three Liangs". It refers to three cities named "Liang". The capital of Wei, Daliang and the strategic location Shaoliang were the second. The Liang County on the south bank of the Rushui River belonged to Chu at that time, and was also one of them. It was different from Daliang and Shaoliang. It was called Nanliang at that time, also known as Shangliang. During the Warring States Period, the troops of Chu, Wei and Han often fought under the Sanliang, and wars often occurred here.
Not only during the Warring States Period, but since the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Liang County was still in a place where wars were still used, or where wars were fought, because this was the only way to go from southern Yingchuan and Nanyang County to Luoyang and other places.
Qin lost his deer, and Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang entered Nanyang from Luoyang south, and then came from Nanyang north, all passing through this place; Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and Guangwu started in Nanyang, and it was also the Luoyang that was harvested from this, and there were Red Eyebrows from Shandong. He went west to Luhun and went to Hongnong, and also passed here, - Luhun was a county, two hundred miles northwest of Liang County. At that time, this area was almost always full of war.
The vast Ru River flowed from the north of Liang County. From ancient times to the present, I have seen many wars, so many joys and sorrows, and I have also seen many blood of heroes and warriors, and the heroic ambitions of many people.
But for some reason, although he had just won a victory, when he looked at the Liang County County of the south bank on the north bank of Rushui, Wen Chou didn't realize a sad and sad feeling came to his heart.
Maybe it was because the time to arrive on the other side of Liang County was wrong, just because the sunset was setting?
He thought so.
Liang County is in the south, the long river is in the north, and the magnificent red sun is in the west, which shines down the dusk light, making its dark city walls bathe in it, and makes the river waves shine. Seeing this scene, I think of the battle with Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian coming to an end. Looking back at the tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry following the crowd, because it is time traveling, I know that the rise and fall of the contemporary Wen Chou will inevitably feel a little sad about the ancients.
He thought to himself: "Now I, Wentai, Mengde and Meng Zhuo, have joined forces with nearly 100,000 troops from the north and south. It is a prosperous moment, and it is rare recently. I think at this time, the world should be attracted by the world and the heroes look at me, but the success or failure of the military affairs is difficult to say. If you win or draw, you will be stopped. If you lose or even lose a lot, you will lose your troops or your generals at the worst. If you have worked hard for the past few years, you may not mention it again. Alas! The world is surging, but the sunset remains unchanged, and the Ru River still flows eastward."
With this in mind, Wen Chou suddenly thought of the famous song "Linjiangxian" in later generations, and then got off his horse and looked at Liangxian under the sunset. He chanted softly with his sword: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. The right and wrong, success and failure turn empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river bank, and they are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other. How many things are in a joke in ancient and modern times."
Tian Feng and others didn't know what he was doing, so they didn't go to the river with him. Seeing him walking around the river, they were reluctant to go back to the road. Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others also got off their horses, walked over to him.
Tian Feng looked along his gaze and saw him looking at the sunset from afar. He smiled and said, "Ming Gong is so elegant and happy. He is about to face a strong enemy and is fighting fiercely, but he still has the leisure to enjoy the setting sun in the long river."
Wen Chou was about to speak, but he saw several cavalry running out of the troops advancing on the road. When he came closer, Yan Liang, who was leading the way in front, brought a few personal soldiers over.
When he came closer, Yan Liang jumped off and asked, "Brother, the sun has already sunk to the west. Liang County is on the other side of the river. Should our army build camps first on the river or cross the river to build camps on the other side of the river?"
"Yique and Guangcheng are all in Hebei, so our army does not have to build camps on the other side." Wen Chou called his personal soldiers and ordered them, "Go to find the three lieutenants of Yuzhou, and pass on our army orders, and ask them to divide their troops and set up camp on the other side of the river."
Wen Chou and others came to Liang County to attack Luoyang. They took a step back and also to attack Yique and Guangcheng Passes. Whether it is Luoyang or Guangcheng Passes, they are all on the north side of Hebei, that is, the river, so there is no need to camp on the other side, but although the main force does not have to go, there must be a partial army. After all, Liang County belongs to Henan Yin. At this time, there was a Dong Zhuo army stationed in the city. They sent troops to monitor nearby, and they could also echo the main force, forcing the enemy in the city to not dare to leave the city and could only shrink into it.
The personal soldiers received the order, and after they rode their horses to the army, they asked Xie Rong and the other two to pass the order.
Yan Liang also received the military order and returned to the headquarters to arrange for the troops to build a camp. (To be continued.)
