Chapter 875: The Great Chaos in Hanzhong (Supplement 1/100)(1/2)
"If I meet Jia Xu again, I will definitely kill him!"
There were only a few thousand remaining soldiers left by Lu Bu, and he entered the dangerous Ziwu Road and marched all the way, which may lose some of his troops.
Ziwu Road near Chang'an City, you can go to Hanzhong.
During the Shu Han Dynasty, Wei Yan planned to take Ziwu Road to attack Chang'an City.
In fact, Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei, really tried to attack Shu Han by Jingziwu Road, but it would be rainy. It took Cao's army a month to walk halfway through the journey, and Cao Zhen was ordered to retreat.
Zhuge Liang refused Ziwu’s Taoist strategy, one of the reasons was probably because Ziwu Road was difficult to walk.
Lu Bu and Li Yuanhao fled into Ziwu Valley, avoiding Chu Tian's military attack and hangjia.
"I can only rely on. When we arrive in Hanzhong, we can make a comeback!"
Li Yuanhao still did not give up.
Ziwu Road is surrounded by cliffs and is connected by ancient and even damaged plank roads. Some plank roads are even hanging on the hillside, surrounded by clouds and mist.
Hanzhong County has a closed terrain, but it has been surging and has become a competition for all forces.
The Hanzhong lord Zhang Dao couldn't say anything about his pain.
He helped Chu Tian send troops to attack Xiliang, but Hanzhong now becomes a refuge for some ambitious military generals, and it is in chaos.
No matter how closed the terrain was, the beacon fire eventually burned from Guanzhong to Hanzhong.
The rebels of the Di tribe had already attacked Hanzhong from Wudu County. The Di leader Fu Jian was in a difficult position to ride a tiger and faced against Hanzhong generals Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Jiao, the main general of the Hanzhong Army, could only let Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fight against the Di rebels who invaded Hanzhong.
The generals in Hanzhong don’t know how many soldiers and horses came from Wudu County, and who are leading the team.
Except for the large number of low-level peasant troops, Zhang Dao did not have many first-class commanders, so he had to send Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to command more than 100,000 peasant troops.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant army were better than the Di rebels who entered Hanzhong.
However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did not know that they were at a disadvantage.
The Di people were brave and fighting, and they were led by fierce generals. Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the leaders of the peasant army, they may not be a qualified commander.
"Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, do you dare to go with me and defeat the enemy's formation?"
The fierce Di general Lu Guang made an appointment to fight against two enemies of 10,000 people.
"What's the point!"
Deng Qiang held a spear and was majestic.
"Happy to accompany you!"
Zhang Hao waved his spear.
Before rushing to the battlefield, Deng Qiang said to deputy general Xu Cheng: "Precaution about the lord, don't let him be injured."
"yes."
Xu Cheng was responsible for protecting Fu Jian on the surface, but in fact he was also surveillance of Fu Jian.
Fu Jian was inclined to sinicize, while Lu Guang, Deng Qiang and others wanted to establish themselves as kings, and wanted to conquer Hanzhong, merge with Wudu County, and establish a kingdom, and these generals would become the rulers of the Di Kingdom.
Fu Jian lacked the force of self-protection and could only let Lu Guang, Deng Qiang and others command the troops.
Three powerful generals led about 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry as support, with only 30,000 troops, and took the initiative to attack Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's more than 100,000 people!
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's more than 100,000 troops were in a dark place.
However, Hanzhong has a population of millions and cannot produce iron armor that is enough to equip hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time.
Therefore, the armor of most of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army was only leather armor, or even no armor. The elites who were truly equipped with iron armor were mainly half-body armor.
Facing the Di cavalry who had fewer people than him but took the initiative to attack, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army had no intention of retreating!
"The Di people don't take us seriously!"
"Is there any seed of kings, princes, generals and ministers?"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang seemed to be provoked by Di generals. The opponent attacked more with fewer attacks, which meant that he looked down on Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Therefore, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the initiative to set up a formation to fight against the Di rebels!
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had the ability to inspire morale. Before the decisive battle, their legion was full of morale, with high morale, tsunami, and their combat power increased to its peak!
The infantry in the front row held a large cowhide shield, and the infantry in the rear held a spear, forming a dense array of spears!
The front is defended with an indestructible spear square formation, and a large number of crossbowmen on both sides are supplemented by a large number of crossbowmen in an attempt to suppress the Di cavalry!
The war horses galloped, and Lu Guang was not afraid of the majestic peasant army at the end of Qin!
Among the peasant army at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the two armies of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were the ones who were truly strong, while Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were a little bit subdued and were suppressed by the Qin army that reacted.
If they were facing Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, the Di rebels would not dare to be so arrogant.
When facing Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they rode their horses and galloped and attacked!
Lu Guang was responsible for the frontal breakthrough, while Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao cooperated with each other to lead a cavalry to separate from the main forces of the Di rebels and attack Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's flanks!
Three powerful generals joined forces, and the Di cavalry rolled up rolling sand and dust!
They had the ability to weaken the morale of the other party. When the Di cavalry launched an attack, the peasant army, which had originally had high fighting spirit, began to decline rapidly!
Deng Qiang had already fought fiercely with the peasant army on the left wing. From time to time, war horses were shot by bows and arrows and fell to the ground. Deng Qiang completely ignored the casualties of the cavalry under his command. The war horses trampled on the cowhide shield. Deng Qiang swept across the spear, and more than a dozen long spears in front were swept off by Deng Qiang!
Deng Qiang, with his own strength, forced himself to force the Di cavalry in the rear to open a small breakthrough!
The Di cavalry then came, and a large number of cavalry rushed to the breakthrough. After hundreds of Di cavalry were shot by bows and crossbows, Deng Qiang's cavalry tore apart the left-wing peasant army!
Ten thousand Di cavalry, relying on the impact of war horses, forced their way through the formation!
Tens of thousands of peasant soldiers were defeated by war horses. The high morale bonus brought by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang quickly disappeared, and the formation of peasant soldiers collapsed.
"Go forward and fight with the enemy soldiers!"
A peasant general drove the reserve team forward to block the advance of Deng Qiang.
However, the peasant army reserve team hesitated, and the ferocity of the Di cavalry made them very afraid and panic.
Deng Qiang's war horses had arrived at some point. The horse's hooves were raised high, and Deng Qiang was condescending, and nailed the peasant general to the ground with one spear!
The sharp spear penetrates the armor of the peasant generals with almost no effort!
Kill it in seconds with one spear!
Deng Qiang stretched out his hand again and pulled out the spear, which was covered with blood.
"hiss……"
The peasant soldiers around were even more frightened, and Deng Qiang's bravery exceeded their imagination.
"Who dares to fight?!"
Deng Qiang shouted loudly, and the ring-headed sword in the hand of a peasant soldier fell to the ground. He was frightened by Deng Qiang and lost his weapon.
On the front, Lu Guang interfered with the formation of the peasant army with light cavalry, and then took turns to attack Chen Sheng's peasant army with heavy cavalry. Lu Guang rushed back and forth with a spear in the peasant army four times, and Chen Sheng's peasant army collapsed.
"The Di people are fierce and invincible!"
Chen Sheng gradually could not control the peasant army. Once the morale of the peasant army was destroyed, he would be unable to make up for the situation.
It seems that the peasant army has the advantage in its military strength, but most peasant army are low-level troops recruited by Zhang Dao based on the characteristics of explosive soldiers. They lack experience and were attacked by the Di cavalry who had experienced many battles and were defeated thousands of miles away.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fled in panic.
The Di cavalry took advantage of the situation to pursue, expand the results of the war, and occupied the surrounding cities and villages.
"Now it's completely betrayal of the Han Empire, it's hard to deal with..."
Fu Jian was helpless in the face of the difficult situation. He could no longer control his subordinates.
When order is lost in troubled times, these out-of-control generals act according to their own preferences, and as leaders, they can only follow the trend.
"In this battle, 20,000 were killed and 40,000 were captured alive. The rest of the people ran around, it was so satisfying!"
After defeating Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Lu Guang, Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and other Former Qin generals gathered next to the fire.
It was the end of the twelve years of the lord's calendar, and the cold winter began to enter, and Hanzhong was also in full swing.
The Di cavalry fought against Xu Fengnian's army, but they were invincible after entering Hanzhong, which indirectly shows that the Hanzhong peasant army was much different from the brave and war-friendly legion brought back from outside the pass.
"Lord, in less than a day, we will be in Nanzheng County. At that time, you will be the king of the Di Kingdom, the Great Shanyu, and the King of Hanzhong."
Generals such as Lu Guang, Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao congratulated Fu Jian in advance.
Fu Jian was forcibly pushed to the position by his powerful generals, looking bitter.
Zhang Dao was still fighting against the invading Yang Su's army in southern Hanzhong. He heard that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were defeated and frowned.
Although Zhang Dao also has the status of a prince, his situation is the same as Zhang Lu in history.
The population of Hanzhong is really not enough. Millions of people have to block the attack of the princes at the level of tens of millions of people.
Currently, Li Zicheng is still Zhang Dao's first military general, and there is a big gap with Yang Su and others. Yang Su was the first commander of the Sui Dynasty and was wise and wise. He is really not comparable to Li Zicheng.
Zhang Dao could still defend with the steep terrain between Hanzhong and Chengdu, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were defeated in the battle, and the Di rebels looted everywhere, and Hanzhong was in danger.
"The situation in Hanzhong has lost control, and the teleportation array has limited daily force. If it does not retreat in time, it may be trapped in Hanzhong."
