Chapter 1051: One-on-one challenge to Wang Zhao Yun
Chapter 1049: Fighting King Zhao Yun alone
The Qin army occupied the four counties in Henoi, while Su Dingfang only had 30,000 troops, of which 20,000 were reorganized Liang army prisoners, but they were facing Wang Mang''s 90,000 troops.
The troops of the two sides are very different. If they are divided into different forces and defended to the death, even if they can be defended in the end, a large amount of troops will definitely be lost.
There is no place to be lost, which is not what Su Dingfang is willing to see. What he wants is to achieve the greatest victory with the lowest casualties.
Therefore, Su Dingfang did not fully adopt the defensive stance, but concentrated all the defending equipment on Chaoge, while the other three counties were strategically abandoned and concentrated their efforts to defend Chaoge, to prevent Wang Mang''s army from threatening Henan Yin.
After ensuring the stability of Chaoge City, Su Dingfang still did not directly fight the city defense. He would not allow Wang Mang to obtain the three counties so easily.
Su Dingfang set up various obstacles to delay Wang Mang''s advance speed. At the same time, he led the main force out of the city to adopt the style of mobile warfare, concentrating his forces to attack the enemy''s weak points.
Wang Mang has 90 points in command attributes, and his ability to command troops is not weak. There is no problem in commanding 30,000 to 40,000 troops, but he is unable to control 90,000 troops, not to mention that he is facing a generation of famous general Su Dingfang this time.
Wang Mang was originally full of confidence in this battle, but he was completely stunned by Su Dingfang shortly after entering the army. He felt that Su Dingfang''s actions looked familiar no matter how he looked at it.
What is it? Oh, by the way, this is not Grandpa Mao’s guerrilla war!
I retreat when the enemy advances, I advance when the enemy retreats, I disturb me when the enemy is tired;
This is the true story of Grandpa Mao, Su Dingfang.
As the third generation of red, Wang Mang certainly could not have known this sixteen-character dialect, but he knew it was one thing, but how to crack it was another!
Wang Mang didn’t expect that the first battle of the second time travel would have to face this almost unsolvable tactic. He is still a newbie on the battlefield. Is it necessary to use his ultimate move as soon as he comes?
Wang Mang read a lot of military books before traveling through time for the second time, so even though he knew it was not easy to crack, he still wanted to try it, and the result was naturally terrible.
Su Dingfang came and went quickly, and Wang Mang could not use his advantage in sending troops at all, but with the similar number of troops, his command ability was far inferior to Su Dingfang, and he was suppressed by him in several consecutive fierce battles.
After paying a considerable price, Wang Mang finally understood the gap between himself and famous generals. He made up his mind in his heart that after recruiting the famous generals of Commander Gao, he would never lead the army in person.
No one can do this in leading the army to fight!
Although Wang Mang could not beat Su Dingfang in command, he could only be able to employ people. Although he had no famous generals under his command, he borrowed a famous general from Chen Qingzhi, and he was the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty and Chen Baxian.
Wang Mang didn''t expect that Chen Baxian would also get up with Chen Qingzhi. Since he came, he would of course give full play to the maximum role of these two people. So he separated Chen Qingzhi and Chen Baxian. Chen Qingzhi led the army alone, while Chen Baxian followed him just in case.
Wang Mang was extremely grateful for his original decision, otherwise he would have really been unable to get out of Taiwan, so he handed over the temporary command of the army to Chen Baxian and asked him to deal with Su Dingfang.
Chen Baxian did not disappoint Wang Mang''s expectations. In the confrontation with Su Dingfang, Chen Baxian did not fall into a disadvantage, and the casualties of the army were stopped.
Wang Mang relied on Chen Ba to make up for his shortcomings in command, and then he wanted to use his wisdom strengths and tried all kinds of methods to force Su Dingfang to fight him. There is Fang Xuanling next to Su Dingfang. How could everyone easily fall into Wang Mang''s plan?
Seeing that Su Dingfang was not only not trapped, he could also plot against him. Of course, he understood that Su Dingfang had guidance from his masters, so he had no choice but to speed up his march and lead the army to Chaoge City as soon as possible. At that time, Su Dingfang would naturally have nowhere to hide.
With the joint efforts of Su Dingfang and Fang Xuanling, Wang Mang spent more than half a month to occupy the three counties that Su Dingfang strategically gave up. When Wang Mang led his troops to the city of Chaoge, he was shocked to find that Chaoge''s defense was far beyond his imagination.
Is this really Chaoge City?
Not only Wang Mang, but even Chen Baxian couldn''t believe that Chaoge was so strong.
You should know that Chaoge City at this time was not Chaoge during the Shang Dynasty. After Zhou destroyed Zhou, Chaoge had completely declined. During the Warring States Period, it even fell into ruins several times, and then underwent several reconstructions. Therefore, Chaoge is now just a small county town.
But such an inconspicuous small county town was built into a fortress by Su Dingfang, which made Wang Mang feel that he was invincible.
"General, this city should not be attacked hard. Su Lie arranged a large number of catapults and crossbows on Chaoge City. The attack will inevitably lead to heavy casualties. I am afraid it is not good to explain to all the prefects at that time." Chen Baxian said with a serious face.
Although Chen Baxian''s name is domineering, he is actually a Confucian general. He is very sleek in dealing with people and speaks very well, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
Unfortunately, he is a rebellious boy. Wang Mang sighed in his heart.
Wang Mang himself started his own business by usurping the throne. Faced with Chen Baxian, he also started his own business by usurping the throne, it was naturally impossible for Wang Mang to have a good impression, but now he can use Chen Baxian''s military capabilities.
Of course, Wang Mang knew that he could not attack forcefully. He sent troops this time to strengthen the confidence of the southern princes. If the loss of troops was too serious, even if he won, it would be more harmful than good.
"I don''t know if Xingguo (Chen Baxian''s name) has a clever plan to help me break this strong city?" Wang Mang asked with a smile.
Chen Baxian pondered for a moment and said, "Our army is now in a low morale. It is difficult to force the city to break into the sky. It is better to send generals to challenge and increase morale by relying on fighting first."
Wang Mang smiled bitterly when he heard this, "A general?" Do you think I don’t want to fight? But the key is that Su Dingfang has a one-on-one fight against King Zhao Yun!
Wang Mang had already suffered from Zhao Yun''s losses in the previous battle.
At that time, Zhao Yun led a side army to attack. Wang Mang knew the power of Zhao Zilong in Changshan, so he sent his generals Wang Xian and Wang Gangchang to join forces to fight. But who knew that Huang Zhong was also sent by Su Dingfang, and Huang Zhong helped Zhao Yun block Wang Xian.
Although Wang Gangchang was the sixteenth general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was soon at a disadvantage against Zhao Zilong, the second general of the Three Kingdoms.
Just as Wang Gangchang was about to lose, Wang Lin and Ai Zhang joined forces to help the battle, but by the time Wang Gangchang had been killed by Zhao Yun, and another **** general died at Zhao Yun''s hands.
Wang Lin and Ai Zhang, who came to help the battle, were furious when they saw this and joined forces to fight against Zhao Yun, but they were still killed by Zhao Yun, and they didn''t even have a chance to escape.
