Chapter 86 (1/2)
March 22.
Na Yan Shiyou, the military division of Hu Jun, has long known that there is no Zhao family army in Hanyang City, and only a few general Zhao are leading the city garrison of Qingcheng.
According to the lessons learned from the defeat of General Zhao in the past, he believes that there is no need to waste his troops in Hanyang, a place that can defend the city and is commanded by General Zhao.
Now that the back mountain has been occupied, the army should go straight to Qingcheng.
There are no troops there now. They can drive straight in.
First occupy Qingcheng and then attack Hanyang.
Duan Gan Guanshi didn't listen to Jin Nayan Shiyou's suggestion at this time. He broke nearly 20000 people just before he arrived at the foot of Hanyang city.
Yesterday, after a whole day of fierce fighting, another 10000 people and horses were broken.
Thirty thousand men and horses were folded in Han Yang. Where could he stand the humiliation? He said proudly: ”I used to be blamed for not winning General Zhao when I fought with him.
Now the Zhao family army is in vain and can't fight.
There are only less than 20000 garrison troops left, and now I command 270000 troops, which are pressed at the foot of Zhao Dingshan City, but I bypass them and can't attack them. How can this show the prestige of our Hu army!
We should kill all the soldiers and civilians in this city first. Wouldn't it be happier for the whole army to enter Qingcheng with their blood? ”
So Duan ganguanshi still insisted on besieging Han Yang with 270000 troops and ordered to poison the river on the other side of the back mountain. See how long they can last.
After the first world war yesterday, only 12000 people were left in Hanyang liqingcheng's garrison with combat effectiveness.
Tang Xianhua, the general of the garrison in Qingcheng, found that the river was poisoned. In view of the great disparity between the two sides, Han Yang's soldiers ran out of water, with no fighting spirit inside and no rescue outside. The situation was extremely unfavorable to Han Yang.
Therefore, Tang Xianhua lacks confidence in adhering to Han Yang.
Those hard-working city guards were also panicked. After all, they were not really soldiers who fought to kill the enemy.
Over the years, the Zhao family army has been stationed in front of us.
They have never been on the battlefield at all. They live in dignity and receive military pay every day. I was temporarily transferred this time. I didn't know the situation was so dangerous.
They are worried about their wives and children and want to disperse back to protect their Qingcheng.
Seeing this situation, General Zhao said to everyone: ”At present, our army is short of water and there are powerful enemies outside the city. If we can concentrate on fighting the enemy, there is still the possibility of winning. If we disperse and go back, we will not be able to survive. Once Hanyang city is lost, Qingcheng will die and die, and we will be wiped out. Now, we can only work together to live and die and make contributions together. Those who are greedy for life and fear death, shake the morale of the army and only care about defense To protect his wife's property! ”
Those who wanted to escape from the battle were intimidated by their words. The morale of the soldiers of each battalion was greatly boosted. They followed Zhao Shuangquan, Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu to stick to the Japanese and Korean Yangcheng again.
March 23rd.
The battle is getting harder and harder. Vice General Wang Xifeng and others in Qingcheng think that the letter sent to the imperial court may have just arrived in the capital, and the reinforcements are far away, so they secretly begged duangan Guanshi for surrender.
But Duan ganguanshi thought that the capture of Hanyang city was just around the corner, and Hu Jun was not allowed to accept their surrender.
Otherwise, it will not be regarded as a meritorious service, which shows his determination to flatten Hanyang.
This made the garrison realize that only by sticking to it and waiting for reinforcements can they survive, so they fought with Hu Jun more tenaciously.
Seeing that it was difficult for Han Yang to attack in a short time, Na Yan Shiyou suggested Duan Gan Guanshi: ”the art of war says that the siege should leave one side. We should let the enemies of Han Yang escape, so that they can spread the news of failure and hit their morale.”
However, Duan ganguanshi relied on his abundant troops and sufficient food to occupy an absolute dominant position. He once again rejected Nayan Shiyou's suggestion and continued to step up the hard attack on Hanyang, so that he could garrison hundreds of thousands of troops under the strong city.
