Chapter 2700 Yin Shou fights Huang Feihu, and the bull should not forget to defeat Wu Wenhua
Chapter 2697: Zhou of Shang fights against Huang Feihu, and don’t forget to defeat Wu Wenhua
Niu Mowang''s first victory seemed easy on the surface, but in fact it was carefully planned by Le Yi.
The strategy of Dongjun in Bai Qi during this period has only been left with several counties such as Puyang, Baima, and Yan County, and have not been captured, and the rest of the counties have been captured by the Qin army.
Puyang City is the last barrier in the western part of the East County. Once it falls, the Bai Qi army can directly attack Jiyin County.
Jiyin is located on the east side of Chenliu County and belongs to the rear of Cao Wei. The Dingtao, where it governs, is located, is the Dingtao Cang, one of the four major granaries of Cao Wei.
Cao Cao considered the issue of food and grass before the war started. After all, once the Qin and Wei war started, the three counties of Dongjun, Chenliu and Yingchuan in the western part of Cao Wei would definitely become battlefields, and in the early stages of the war, it was difficult for Cao''s army to stop the Qin army.
Cao Cao was worried that the Qin army would seize a large amount of food and grass, and then used the food and grass from Cao army to fight Cao Wei, so after discussing with the counselors, he decided to set up four major granaries to store food and grass.
The locations of these four major granaries are from west to east, namely: Chenliu Sour jujube Crane, Jiyin Ding Tao Crane, Shanyang Changyi Crane, and Peiguo Qiao Crane.
The front-line jujube warehouse is responsible for supplying grain to the three major battlefields of the Western Front, so it naturally stores the most grain and grass. It stores nearly one-third of the grain storage of Cao Wei, which is enough to support the use of hundreds of thousands of Cao troops on the Western Front for eight months.
From this we can also see that Cao Cao was not very sure whether he could defend the Western Front, otherwise he would not have left only eight months of food and grass on the Western Front.
If Cao''s army could defend the Western Front for more than half a year under the fierce attack of more than 400,000 Qin troops, it would be enough to show that the Qin and Wei wars entered a stalemate stage.
By then, even if the grain in the jujube warehouse was not enough, it would be time to transport grain from the Dingcao Warehouse in the rear. After all, Jiyin was next to Chenliu.
I have to say that Cao Cao''s abacus was still very smart, but he did not expect that Le Yi, who was highly anticipated by him, would be so vulnerable to Bai Qi after the fall of Bai Ma.
At this time, the main forces of Cao Wei were dragged on the western front by Zhang Liao, and the garrison of Jiyin County was relatively weak.
If Bai Qi''s army really attacked Jiyin County, it would be difficult to defend Dingtao City by relying solely on Cao Wei''s garrison in Jiyin.
This is also the main reason why Zhu Di decisively sent Lan Yu to Dongjun to rescue after learning the news.
The fall of Dongjun and even Puyang City is nothing, but once the Qin army attacks into Jiyin and eventually leads to the fall of Dingtao, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
Zhu Di knew very well that the sixth Central Plains War would have a single move, and no matter how good he fought on the Eastern Front, it would be useless. If Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin on the Western Front could not hold on, the Ming Kingdom on the Eastern Front would still have to finish it, so naturally he could not watch Bai Qi attack into Jiyin and ignore it.
Zhu Di gave Cao Cao the greatest aid in his ability. Not only did he send a total of 40,000 elite troops as reinforcements, he also sent Lan Yu, the commander second only to Xu Shiji and Xu Da, and Niu Mowang, the most powerful general in the Central Plains.
But no matter how strong the reinforcements are, Le Yi must be able to persevere until the reinforcements arrive.
If Puyang City was captured by the Qin army before Lan Yu arrived, it would be impossible for Bai Qi to attack Jiyin County with such a large border with Lan Yu''s 40,000 troops alone.
Le Yi naturally knew this, so when Baima Du just fell, he was already preparing for the defense of Puyang City.
In the battle between Baima Crossing, Le Yi was set up by Bai Qi''s open conspiracy, allowing the Qin army to easily break through the Yellow River defense line and attack Dongjun. However, Le Yi''s subsequent measures also stabilized Cao Wei''s decline in Dongjun.
While retreating to Baima City, Le Yi ordered King Shang to give up important places such as Yanjin and Wenshijin and retreat to Yan County. These two measures directly saved the northern gates of the Sour Zao and Chenliu.
Zhou of Shang was worthy of being the most powerful general of Cao Wei. He had performed many outstanding performances in the previous Central Plains Wars. Although he did not play a role in defending Yanjin in the Battle of Baimadu, after stabilizing Yan County, he personally led elite troops to attack from all sides and harass the rear of the Qin army. He also had a remarkable record, which made Huang Feihu, Deng Jiugong and other troops uneasy, so he could not concentrate on attacking Baima City.
Bai Qi thought that he would solve the trouble of Zhou Zhou first, and then concentrate on breaking Baima City, but Zhou Zhou’s strategy was not weak, and Cheng Yu had given him advice, so ordinary plans would not be fooled at all.
Bai Qi failed to design twice, so he ordered Huang Feihu to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry, as well as Deng Jiugong and other generals to watch Zhou of Shang, preparing to use this to limit Zhou of Shang, so as to attack Baima City without any worries.
But how could Shang Zhou, who was a super **** general, be so restrictive?
The battle between Huang Feihu and Zhou of Shang was also extremely exciting.
Huang Feihu, who has integrated the Huangfeng Monster, has further improved his combat power and future potential. Although he is still the God of War of Kiwu 106 and has not yet reached the peak of 107, his overall strength is already comparable to that of the God of War of Kiwu 107.
But even though Huang Feihu was so powerful, even if he joined forces with Deng Jiugong, he was still no match for Zhou of Shang.
Each super **** general has his own characteristics, such as: Lu Bu''s outstanding group battle ability, Gao Chong''s instant explosiveness, Jia Fu''s super high explosiveness after being injured, etc.
But among the many super gods, Zhou Shang’s presence was not strong, his record was not good, and his ranking on the list of generals has never been high, which made Zhou Shang seem to be the weakest super god.
But in fact, it is not.
Zhou Zhou was actually very strong. The reason why he has not always had obvious achievements is mainly because the opponent he encountered was too strong.
The opponents Zhou Zhou encountered before becoming a super **** were either Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, Houyi and Luo Shixin. After becoming a super **** general, he was suppressed by Niu Mowang, so it seemed that Zhou Zhou''s record was very poor, but in fact his strength was not weaker than other super **** generals, and he also had his own characteristics.
The super **** general that Zhou Jiwu of Shang became at 106. Now, after so many years, after many hardships and hard battles, although Jiwu has not been improved, he still stays at 106 (+1), but his skills have been strengthened many times. Otherwise, how could he save his life with Niu Mowang’s subordinates?
Bai Qi only asked Huang Feihu to limit Zhou Shang, but when facing Huang Feihu, the tactics used were completely different from before and did not take the initiative to avoid war.
Since Zhou of Shang dared to fight, Huang Feihu naturally had no reason to avoid the war. But what he never expected was that the Cao army led by Zhou of Shang was much stronger than the ordinary Cao army. The two sides fought many times and actually fought a one-to-one battle loss ratio.
This does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is weaker than that of the Qin army. The two elites, such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Ben Army, are not even weaker than the Qin army. However, in terms of conventional troops, the casualties of the Cao army are much greater than that of the Qin army. Although the comprehensive combat power of Zhou Zhou''s troops was strong, they were not as good as the elite battalion. They could use very few resources to train the conventional army to a level comparable to that of the Qin army, which shows how strong the training and leadership ability of Zhou Zhou was.
Huang Feihu was naturally not afraid of fighting for consumption, and he even wanted Shang Zhou to fight for consumption. After all, the number of elite soldiers in Shang Zhou''s hands was limited, and only one less died, but he didn''t expect to fall into Cheng Yu''s plan instead.
Huang Feihu''s attention was focused on Zhou of Shang, but he ignored the son of Zhou of Shang, Yin Wugeng.
Huang Feihu was attracted to Yan County by Zhou of Yin. After being away from the large army of Bai Qi, he found that Yin Wugeng led a partial army, but continued to interfere with the Qin army''s offensive in the rear.
Huang Feihu did this in fact, and he wanted to find the flaws of Zhou of Shang to see if the Cao army would ambush him, while he pretended to be trapped and ambush Cao army, but he underestimated the wisdom of Cheng Yu, the military advisor of Zhou of Shang.
Cheng Yu took advantage of Huang Feihu''s psychology to lead Huang Feihu and Deng Jiugong''s troops to Yan County, and entangled the other party so that they could not retreat. In this way, the Qin army in the Baima City area would have hollowed out, and the partial army led by Yin Wugeng launched a sneak attack.
Bai Qi personally took charge of Baima City. Yin Wugeng''s sneak attack was destined to be impossible to succeed, but Yin Wugeng''s military use was also deeply understood by Cao Cao''s true teachings. He was very clean and neat. He escaped immediately if he missed a single attack.
Bai Qi had to divide his troops to catch this loach, and secondly, he had to be on guard against Yin Wugeng''s return again. The offensive against Baima City was naturally restrained. In addition, Le Yi was extremely strict in defense. Bai Qi did not achieve much results in several attacks, so he took the initiative to give up his attack against Baima City.
Before Bai Qi attacked Baima, he had already sent Jia Fu to capture Puyang. Now that Baima City is difficult to capture in a short period of time, he is ready to wait for news from Puyang first. Once Puyang is captured, the morale of Cao''s army in Baima City will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty and casualties of the strong attack will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, Bai Qi also ordered the recall of Huang Feihu, and all the generals under him were sent out. Li Cunxiao had not arrived in Dongjun yet, so the great generals had no one available, and even Yin Wugeng could show off his might.
After receiving the order, Huang Feihu naturally led his army to retreat, but how could Zhou of Shang let him leave easily? After many entanglements, more intense conflict broke out between the two sides.
Huang Feihu judged that Zhou Yin''s strength was above him through several short fights, so he was ready to join forces with Deng Jiugong to defeat and even kill Zhou Yin.
As for the specific plan, it is to pretend to retreat first, wait for King Zhou of Shang to pursue him, and then take a counterattack.
The facts were indeed as Huang Feihu expected. Zhou Zhou of Shang led his army to chase him, but Zhou of Shang just followed him but did not get close. He obviously realized Huang Feihu''s intention, so he was not deceived.
Seeing this, Huang Feihu decisively commanded the army to counterattack, but he and Deng Jiugong joined forces to defeat Zhou Yin, but instead were defeated by Zhou Yin.
106 Huang Feihu + 105 Deng Jiugong, although he was inferior to 106 Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, he also had the power to protect himself.
But the Qin army naturally suffered a great decline in the defeat of Huang Feihu and Deng Jiugong, and the number of casualties was higher than that of the Zhou army of Shang Dynasty for the first time.
Huang Feihu couldn''t win and couldn''t retreat. For a time, the war in Yan County also fell into a stalemate.
Bai Qi didn''t know what to do, so he temporarily suspended the offensive against Baima City and looked at Puyang City. Winning this way could also break the deadlock, but variables still appeared.
Le Yi knew the importance of Puyang City well. When Baima Du just fell, he sent Lecheng and Lejin to lead 8,000 elite troops to Puyang City.
Le Cheng''s performance in the Battle of Baimadu was not good. He allowed the Qin army to attack the water camp he defended several times, causing great casualties to Cao''s army, but Le Yi ignored the opposition and was still willing to reuse him.
This made Le Cheng feel ashamed and extremely moved, and he vowed to defend Puyang City.
Le Cheng said this and did the same. After Jia Fu led a 40,000 army to siege the city, he took his son to live at the top of the city, as if the city was in the city and people were dead.
Under the strict defense of Le Cheng, Le Jian and Le Jin, Jia Fu attacked the city with all his might for ten days. Although the city was hit by blood and was in a mess, he still failed to break through Puyang City.
Seeing that Puyang City was out of ammunition and food and could no longer defend, Lan Yu led 40,000 elite Ming troops to arrive.
Although Jia Fu was unwilling to accept it, he could still order a temporary retreat. After all, the Qin army had been sieging the city for ten consecutive days, and the consumption was quite large. It was a bit of a loss to go directly to war with the Ming army.
Jia Fu ordered a retreat of 30 miles and set up a camp to prepare for a rest and reorganization. After reorganizing, he would come to compete with Lan Yu.
Lan Yu marched urgently for half a month, and the army was extremely tired, but he only rested in Puyang City for two days and led the county westward. He was extremely eager to fight because he knew that the sooner he fought, the better he would take advantage.
Naturally, Jia Fu would not go to fight now, and in order to force the Qin army to fight, Lan Yu sent people to fight day and night, and all kinds of filthy and slanderous words emerged one after another.
At first, the Qin army didn''t care, but after hearing it for a long time, they couldn''t help but feel upset and angry.
Wu Wenhua couldn''t help but go out of order and defeated Niu Hong, but it also attracted Niu Mowang, the big boss.
Although Wu Wenhua defeated Niu Hong of Kiwu 105, facing Niu Mowang of Kiwu 109, even if he made a breakthrough in the battle, he was still beaten to no avail.
The originally solid camp was even more shattered under Niu Mowang''s offensive, and no matter how Hao Zhao commanded, he could not reverse the decline.
In the second battle after Hao Zhao and Wu Wen''s army, they were beaten by the world''s top combat power. If Jia Fu had not led Qin Niu and Yu Yuan to rescue in time, Hao Zhao and Wu Wen would have probably died at Niu Mowang''s hands.
"Senior Niu Kui, it''s been a long time since we met."
After seeing Niu Mowang, Yu Yuan did not take action, but instead greeted him.
Seeing this, Niu Mowang did not continue to take action, but he still said with a cold face: "Yu Yuan, if I remember correctly, you are Senior Sister Jin Ling''s apprentice. Shouldn''t you respectfully call me Uncle?"
