Eight hundred and ninety Zhu Yuanzhang's bet


Dangyang County, Changbanpo.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed all over the slopes.

Since the confrontation in the early morning of last night, the two armies have fought for a day and a night on this vast hillside, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army of 120,000 menacing, but was stubbornly resisted by Yang Zaixing's 20,000 horses, and the tragedy of the battle was unprecedented.

Almost every inch of land on Nagasaka Slope is stained red with blood, and almost every green grass on Nagasaka Slope has been trampled by horses' hooves.

In the tent of the handsome tent that was temporarily set up, Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by a group of generals, looked up to the south.

Under the illumination of the covered torches, there were at least about 15,000 Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers lying down, but with the condescending terrain, the Western Han army led by Zhu Yuanzhang paid an even heavier price, with more than 20,000 casualties.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help crying: "This Yang Zaixing is a madman, a complete madman" "Who says it's not, I've never seen such a deadly tactic," the one-eyed dragon Li Guang folded his arms in front of his chest, let out a sigh, and looked at the corpses everywhere, and his heart was a little worried.

Zhang Dingbian frowned and said: "We must rescue Lu Bumo to fight according to this momentum, and if you want to pass the Dangyang Bridge, you will have to pay at least more than 10,000 casualties."

It's not just that Yang Zaixing doesn't want to die, but his subordinates are all crazy."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and sat down behind the handsome case, and Li Guang, Yang Dayan, Zhang Dingbian, Zhu Sheng and others followed suit, followed into the handsome tent, and lined up on both sides.

Zhu Yuanzhang spread out the map and hissed: "Lu Bu did not listen to the dispatch and attacked Jiangling without authorization, and fell into the Han army's plan to close the door and beat the dogs, which is naturally an unforgivable crime.

However, as far as our army is concerned, if it can make a plan and cooperate with Lu Buri to defeat Guan Yu and Huo Quji's soldiers and horses outside Jiangling City, it can turn the situation around and change from passive to active."

"Zhu Gong's analysis is reasonable," Zhu Shengfu next to him interjected, "Xiangyang City has thick walls and Han River, it is the first male city in the world, and it is extremely difficult to attack the city.

If you can take advantage of Lu Bu's mistakes and really control Jiangling, you can cut off the connection between the north and south of Jingzhou, control the throat of the Yangtze River, control Bashu in the west, and deter Jinling in the east.

Its military significance is not under Xiangyang" After a moment of conversation, he continued: "But what the lower officials are worried about is that they can't spy on the news of Jiangling now, and they don't know what the battle situation is over there, so I'm afraid that Lu Bu will no longer be able to support it, and if we lose Jiangling, it will be useless for us to continue fighting."

The terrain of Changbanpo is high in the south and low in the north, which made it necessary for the Western Han army to attack from low to high, and the direct result was a large increase in casualties.

The Dangyang Bridge is the commanding height of the Nagasaka Slope, and after crossing the Dangyang Bridge, it is all the way downhill.

As long as the Dangyang Bridge can be captured, the Western Han army can be invincible all the way and go straight to the bottom of Jiangling City.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is determined to win Dangyang Bridge.

There is a big river called "Fushui", from west to east, mighty and beautiful, passing through Changban Slope, separating Dangyang County and Jiangling City in the north and south of the river.

This "frustrated water" has abundant water flow, not to mention that it is now the middle of summer with abundant rain, the widest place reaches about ten zhang, and the narrowest place also has a width of about three zhang, which is the Dangyang Bridge that Yang Zaixing defended, and it is also the only road connecting Dangyang and Jiangling.

It is precisely because of the existence of this big river that the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang must capture Dangyang Bridge if it wants to reach Jiangling.

After being stubbornly defended by Yang Zaixing, not only was the Western Han army impassable, but even the scouts could not spy on Jiangling. can only take a detour to Yicheng, come and go, at least three or four hundred miles away, so after a day and a night, Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't know what the battle situation in Jiangling is Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to touch the mole on his chin, and said solemnly: "Although Lu Bu's character is a little worse, his martial arts are the best among the 400,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the entire Luoyang Imperial Court, not to mention the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command.

The trapping camp led by Gao Shun and the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou are all world-famous tiger and wolf divisions, and there is also the assistance of Chen Gong, I don't believe that Jiangling will be lost in just two days."

Zhang Dingbian and Zhu Sheng didn't know Lu Bu's bravery, but Yang Dayan and Li Guang were convinced, and said: "What Zhu Gong said makes sense, although Lu Bu is capricious, but when it comes to fighting, it is really a brave even if he is lured deep by the enemy, but the combined soldiers and horses of Huo Quji and Guan Yu are only about 80,000, and it is absolutely impossible to annihilate Lu Bu in a short time."

Zhu Sheng bowed slightly: "I hope so, the key to this victory and defeat lies in whether Lu Wenhou can hold Jiangling and support until the reinforcements arrive in the city." ” Zhu Yuanzhang's finger moved to the map: "So we must capture Dangyang Bridge at all costs, advance to Jiangling City in one go, and attack with Lu Bu inside and outside, and severely damage Guan Yu and Huo Quji."

In this way, Liu Wei lacked troops in the central part of Jingzhou, and we could sweep Jingnan to the south, and we could reach Jiangxia and Lujiang to the east, so that Yue Fei could not take care of the head and tail, and let the Eastern Han Dynasty take care of one and lose the other.

This is a decisive battle for the entire Luoyang court, and it is hoped that Lu Bu will be able to support until the reinforcements arrive in the city."

After a pause, he said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the dignified Han court to pin its hope of victory on Lu Bu, a capricious villain, which is also a kind of irony."

But this time I chose to bet heavily on Lu Bu, hoping that he would not disappoint me."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not only attack Dangyang, because he still had a backhand, that is, the 30,000 horses led by Xu Da and Zhu Wen were heading in the direction of Yicheng.

"What's the situation over there in Yicheng" Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and asked the confidant general who was in charge of collecting intelligence.

The military general replied: "Back to Zhu Gong, Yue Yun has already led his troops to leave Yicheng and move in the direction of Dangyang.

The two generals, Zhu Wen and Xu Da, took the opportunity to lead their troops through Yicheng and were marching along the post road to Jiangling."

Before marching to Jiangling, Zhu Yuanzhang's scouts had already found that Yang Zaixing led 20,000 troops to hold Changbanpo, and Yue Yun led 30,000 horses to defend Yicheng.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to storm Changbanpo with heavy troops, guessing that Yue Yun would rush to the aid of Dangyang after getting the information, and then Xu Da and Zhu Wen, who had been quietly marching, would be able to pass through Yicheng bloodlessly and quickly arrive at Jiangling City.

The road from Dangyang County to Jiangling is relatively rugged, but it is one hundred and twenty miles closer than Yicheng, and after weighing, Zhu Yuanzhang still chose to take Changban Slope.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, attacking Yang Zaixing with six times the force can defeat him in a day at most, but he didn't expect the team led by Yang Zaixing to be so tenacious, almost to the point of fighting for every inch of land, which made Zhu Yuanzhang incomprehensible and even sad "If our army can be so fierce and not afraid of death, why worry about how Yang Zaixing trained such a tiger and wolf army, which is shocking" When looking at the corpses all over the mountains and fields on Changban Slope before sunset, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart.

"Woohoo" The whimper of the horn sounded again outside the tent, and the earth-shaking sound of drums came, this time it was Wei Wentong and Han Sui who gathered their forces and prepared to attack.

Due to the narrow ground near Dangyang Bridge, although the Western Han army still has about 100,000 troops, the number of people who can be put into battle is only about 10,000 at most, and the others can only beat drums and cheer at the bottom of the hillside, bluffing.

Yang Zaixing led 20,000 men to defend ten miles north of Dangyang Bridge, and fought and retreated.

Every inch of land paid for blood and lives, but due to the sweep of more than 100,000 Western Han troops, they killed 10,000 enemies and lost 8,000 themselves, paying heavy casualties.

As Yang Zaixing retreated step by step, this hillside contracted in a "fan-shaped", and the closer it got to the Dangyang Bridge, the narrower it became.

From the beginning of the 100,000 Han troops to participate in the war at the same time, and after retreating a distance, the Western Han army could only invest 50,000 to participate in the war.

After retreating some distance, the Western Han army could only invest 30,000 to participate in the battle, and when Yang Zaixing retreated to the vicinity of Dangyang Bridge, the terrain could only accommodate 10,000 Western Han troops to participate in the battle.

Since he could not rush forward and win by virtue of his superiority in troops, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the tactics of wheel warfare.

Ordered Han Sui, Wei Wentong, Yang Dayan, Zhang Dingbian, Li Guang and other five generals to each select 10,000 elite soldiers, assemble on the north slope of Dangyang Bridge, and take turns to launch a fierce attack on the Han army defending Changban Slope.

Han Sui was appointed as the first team, Wei Wentong was appointed as the second team, and at this moment the two were fighting in line under the Dangyang Bridge, so they did not appear in Zhu Yuanzhang's handsome tent.

And the horn whimper that sounded just now was the first wave of men and horses led by Han Sui preparing to attack.

The west wind hunts, and the flag is displayed.

Yang Zaixing, who was covered in blood, immediately crossed his spear, and led the only remaining soldiers and horses to guard the Dangyang Bridge.

After a day and a night of fighting, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty died under Yang Zaixing's gun, 13 partial generals and generals, and more than 20 school captains and military horses, all of whom were stained with blood.

In the battle of thousands of troops, Yang Zaixing was hit by an arrow in his left arm, a shot in his right shoulder, an arrow in his leg, and a bloody wound in his back.

Yang Zaixing can still fight alive and vigorously, with red eyes, and immediately guards the bridgehead with a horizontal gun.

"Soldiers, how many people are there" Hearing the horn whimpering under the hillside, Yang Zaixing knew that the Western Han army was about to launch another strong attack, so he turned his head and asked.

"If you return to the general, there are still 4,937 people," the herald shouted.

Yang Zaixing pointed his spear to the north: "Look at the bottom of the hillside, there are our brothers all over the mountain, who have paid with their lives to defend the territory and defend Sangzi.

Now there is only the last road left in Dangyang Bridge, if it is broken through by Zhu Yuanzhang, it will be under the Jiangling City, so that the Han Dynasty will fall into a situation of no return, so we must defend Dangyang Bridge to the last man" After a pause, he said loudly: "Of course, the fight may require the brothers to pay the price of their lives in the end, so I don't force you to be when Yangqiao is still there, if you want to go, you can turn around and leave, and if you stay, please follow me to fight to the death." t1706231537:
