Chapter 867 Yu Wenhua and his death
Chapter 865: Yu Wenji''s death
In the previous siege battle, powerful generals such as Qin Wu and Sun Ce also participated in the siege, but Wang Fang followed Han Qinhu''s instructions and had already made complete preparations.
As long as the coalition generals climbed the city tower of Guangcheng Pass, they would be immediately fired by hundreds of archers, so it is naturally difficult to exert their own military advantages.
This time, the two generals sneaked into the pass while the tunnel was night, but there were no hundreds of archers gathering fire to them. After the raid, they caught the defenders in the pass off guard.
Because this raid was planned by Bai Qi, Sun Jian was very sensible and handed over the command to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi had already led the coalition forces outside the city to prepare for the momentum.
As soon as he received the signal from the city, Bai Qi immediately launched a night battle and began to attack the city, in order to attract most of the attention of the defenders, thus creating opportunities for Qin Wu and Sun Ce in the city, so that they could move in the city more easily.
The raid troops led by Qin Wu and Sun Ce were all elite among the elite. Under the leadership of two highly powerful generals, they were so hard that they were so hard that they could kill them in the pass that they were so uninhabited. They easily reached the city gate and opened the city gate.
The opening of the city gate also indicates that the battle will end.
A large number of coalition forces continued to pour into the pass, and although the Liang army in the pass was still resisting tenaciously, it was impossible to expel the coalition forces from the pass. It was only a matter of time before the complete fall.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Deputy General Wang Fang decisively ordered the burning of the grain warehouse and armory, and led the defeated army to Yique Pass to join Yang Su.
Wang Fang''s fire also made the coalition forces have no time to pursue, and they all focused on extinguishing the fire.
Bai Qi also rescued him very timely. The fire inside the pass was extinguished as soon as it was ignited, so there was not much loss of supplies in the city.
After counting after the war, we learned that in this battle, a total of 4,000 enemies were killed and 10,000 prisoners were captured. Wang Fang led only more than 5,000 people back to Yique Pass.
The Southern Alliance lost 4,000 troops in the night battle, and in addition, the previous siege of 6,000 troops were killed and killed. The coalition forces in the Guangcheng-related areas paid a total of 10,000 troops.
With only 10,000 casualties, the Guangcheng Pass, which had 20,000 soldiers, was captured. The price of this battle was already quite small, and the biggest contributor was naturally Bai Qi.
The major princes of the Southern Army were in a very complicated mood. They were obviously the ones who contributed this battle, but they seemed to have the same ending. Their troops were secondary, while Bai Qi just used his brain but became a soul.
After capturing Guangcheng Pass, the Southern Alliance should have taken advantage of the victory and attacked Yique Pass with lightning speed, but it was delayed due to the issue of the seizure distribution.
Although some of the materials in Guangcheng Pass were burned, the amount left was still huge, which made the major princes extremely envious and even quarrel about the distribution issue, so that even the continued march was delayed.
Sun Jian was naturally very troubled by this. The major princes were originally respectful to him, but after the core interests were involved, Sun Jian''s prestige could not shake these princes at all.
In desperation, Sun Jian could only ask the leader Qin Hao for instructions. Half a month later, the leader''s order was sent back and immediately marched into Yique Pass. All the materials were sealed and left to be distributed together after the war.
After Qin Hao''s order was conveyed, the princes of the Southern Army seemed to be as disgusted as if they had eaten shit, but they did not dare to disobey Qin Hao''s orders. The 100,000 coalition forces marched to Yique Pass again, but it had been delayed for more than half a month.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao thought that Yu Culture and reputation were not obvious, and his ability to defend the city should not be too strong, so he launched a full-scale attack shortly after he arrived, but he did not expect that he would be bleeding from the bottom of Xuanyuan Pass. Yu Wenji''s reputation is not very famous in part because of his son, Yu Wencheng.
Yu Wen in the original history and the person who has been an emperor. Even if his own abilities are not very strong, he must have outstanding abilities around him. With Xuanyuan Jian locked up, it is still OK to keep it.
Yuan Shao didn''t expect Yu Wenji to be so difficult. Just as he felt sorry for the casualties and was about to postpone the siege, news of Bai Qi''s great breakthrough in Guangcheng Pass came.
After receiving this news, the faces of the princes of the Southeast Route Army were quite wonderful, especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, all kinds of complex feelings were expressed on their faces.
Now among the three armies, the East Road destroyed 50,000 cavalry of Xiliang in one battle, and the South Road also easily broke through Guangcheng Pass. Only the Southeast Road has not made any achievements. How can the two brothers who have always been arrogant accept it?
Soon afterwards, Yuan Shao ordered his full victory to attack the city.
Liu Xiu was also sighing in his heart when he saw this. Now he understood why Qin Hao wanted Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to lead the army alone, because for the Yuan brothers, face is more important than the lives of soldiers.
Because the general Lian Po under Yuan Shu was good at siegeing the city, Yuan Shao ordered Lian Po to command the siege. In addition, he also asked generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou to join the siege. Even Yuan Shao himself beat the drums to boost the morale of the army.
The 100,000 troops from the southeast road were united and attacked with all their strength for more than a month. Only then did they break through Xuanyuan Pass with difficulty and obtained 10,000 enemies, 5,000 prisoners, and nearly 40,000 of them.
Yu Wenhe refused Yuan Shao''s persuasion to surrender several times, and did not dare to expect the other party to persuade him to surrender again. Therefore, he set fire to food, grass and supplies before fleeing from the gates, and his actions completely angered Yuan Shao.
On the way to Yique Pass, Sun Jian solved the problem of the distribution and seizure of the Southern Army and led the troops to block the front of Yique Pass.
At this time, Guangcheng Pass and Xuanyuan Pass had been captured by the coalition forces, Yique Pass was besieged by the coalition forces, Yu Wenji''s retreat was completely blocked, and he was trapped in the middle of the three gates.
Yu Wenji, who was unable to advance or retreat, was obviously facing a desperate situation. Just as he was about to surrender to Sun Jian, Yuan Shao''s army in the rear actually chased him overnight.
All were putting out fires, but Yuan Shao''s reaction was a beat slower. After the fire was put out, most of the supplies in Xuanyuan Pass were burned.
This also made Yuan Shao completely angry, so he sent a cavalry to pursue him overnight and sent his powerful generals together.
Yu Wenji''s subordinates were originally defeated troops, and they were not against Yuan Jun in their morale. The two sides were immediately defeated as soon as they fought, and Yu Wenji was also targeted by Yan Liangwen Chou.
Yu Wenhe wanted to surrender, but before he could speak, he didn''t know where a javelin flew over and directly penetrated Yu Wenhe and the corpse across the crossing.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were originally planning to capture Yu Wenji alive, but seeing that Yu Wenji was dead, they could only cut off his head and go to seek credit.
