Chapter 294 Lure the Enemy Deep
Mianchi, an ordinary place name, is not a dangerous pass, nor is it a prosperous metropolis, but it can be regarded as a well-known place.
The famous Mianchi meeting between Qin and Zhao took place here. In order to attack Chu, King Zhaoxiang of Qin decided to make friends with Zhao and invited King Huiwen of Zhao to meet in Mianchi. However, King Zhao Huiwen was afraid of Qin, thanks to his minister Lin Xiangru's courage and strategy to preserve his reputation.
"General Zuo, are we sure we want to take back Mianchi?" Wang Fang asked.
Dong Min took it for granted, "It's natural. Mianchi is close to Hangu Pass. If Mianchi is not taken back, the enemy's troops will reach Hangu Pass. Of course, Mianchi must be taken first."
Wang Fang said in a low voice: "But General Xu said that Liu Ye dispatched all the troops to capture the cities of Sili, and now the troops are scattered. If our army uses part of the troops to contain the enemy, we can lead our troops to storm Tongguan. You can invite General Fan Chou, who is stationed at Hangu Pass, to send troops to crush the Liangzhou army in one fell swoop."
Dong Min sneered disapprovingly: "What kind of person is Liu Ye? He must be heavily guarded at Tongguan. Besides, the city wall of Tongguan is tall and deep. If our army attacks by force, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"You told Xu Rong, let him lead the army to cooperate with our army, and attack the enemy from both sides, don't act without authorization, you know!" Dong Min's words were very severe, obviously warning Xu Rong not to divide his troops to attack Tongguan.
snort! This general was ordered to control the army, and now a certain is the chief general of the army, what do you think Xu Rong is?
Wang's face was a little ugly: "I will be ordered to tell General Xu about this."
Dong Min nodded impatiently, and at this moment the captain Li Meng rushed over on his horse.
"General Zuo! There is an enemy army in front, the number is about 3,000, it seems to be a part of the army from Liangzhou."
Hearing Li Meng's words, Dong Min was full of energy.
"What? Tell the army to prepare for battle, and the front army will fight the enemy."
"Here!"
General Dong Min issued the order, and the 20,000 Dong troops immediately entered the state of combat readiness. From a distance, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses, wearing the uniforms of the Liangzhou Army, and holding a banner.
The captain who breaks the thief - manages.
Wang Fang said to Dong Min: "General Zuo, I heard that Liu Ye's personal general is named Guan Hai. Apart from this, there has never been a thief general with the surname Guan in the Liangzhou Army."
Dong Min was overjoyed: "Since the thief Guan Hai is here, doesn't that mean that Liu Ye is not far away? Even in Mianchi City?"
Wang Fang nodded hesitantly, although Dong Min's judgment was normal, but for some reason, he always felt something was wrong.
"The former army attacks and defeats Guan Hai!"
With Dong Min's order, Li Meng personally led the troops out, and a total of 10,000 Liangzhou troops rushed out, encircling Guan Hai's headquarters in a three-sided state.
Although Dong Min's ability to lead troops is average, he is not an idiot with different military strategies, and these ten thousand Liangzhou soldiers are also victorious troops who have fought tough battles with Xu Rong, so they quickly surrounded Guan Hai's army.
"kill!"
Facing the 10,000 Dong Jun coming like a tidal wave, Guan Hai was not afraid, and rushed forward brazenly, like a small wave crashing on the rock.
boom!
The two armies collided fiercely. Both Liangzhou soldiers and Dong Jun were experienced and elite soldiers, so the battle entered a fierce battle from the very beginning. The soldiers of the two armies screamed and slashed and killed.
Since the quality of the soldiers is not far apart, the number of people is naturally the key to victory. The number of 10,000 Dong troops encircled from three sides is more than three times that of Guan Hai's army, so Guan Hai's army is naturally at a disadvantage.
Guan Hai casually killed one of Dong Jun's soldiers with a knife, and immediately four or five people rushed up, countless.
"There are many Dong soldiers, everyone, don't get entangled with the enemy, retreat!"
Guan Hai roared, then turned his horse's head without saying a word, turned around and ran away. Seeing Guan Hai "leading by example", the three thousand soldiers immediately turned around without saying a word, and the rear team turned into the front team, leaving only a hundred or so soldiers behind. corpse.
"Throw away everything that needs to be thrown, and run faster!"
Hearing Guan Hai's order, the flag bearer threw the flag on the ground without hesitation.
Flags, war drums, weapons and even some five baht coins were thrown on the ground by the soldiers of the Guanhai army, and all the luggage discarded by the soldiers of Liangzhou was everywhere for a while.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, Dong Zhuo's army chased after him without a word. He stepped on the flag heavily with his boots and trampled the flag into the soil. Many Dong Zhuo's soldiers immediately bent down to pick up the quilt The drums and five baht coins discarded by the enemy soldiers on the ground.
Dong Min was furious: "It's not allowed to pick it up, I'll talk about it when I come back, I will chase the enemy for me!"
At first, he also suspected that Guan Hai's army was feigning defeat, but when he saw the enemy fleeing desperately and abandoning the flags and drums to the ground, he obviously looked like a crushing defeat. Isn't that what is written in "Cao GUI's Controversy"?
The school lieutenant Wang Fang who was following Dong Min hastily advised, "General Zuo, our army should not advance hastily, and should advance side by side with General Xu Rong."
Dong Min said impatiently: "Understood, you go to inform Xu Rong and order Xu Rong's subordinates to speed up immediately and follow closely behind our army. The distance should not exceed one house (thirty miles), you understand?"
After he finished speaking, Dong Min immediately ordered a massive pursuit, and 20,000 Dong Jun immediately rushed out, chasing after Guan Hai's army, enjoying the fun of beating the dog in the water.
At this time, Xu Rongjun also received Dong Min's order.
Xu Rong frowned: "The enemy army is under the banner of Guan Hai, and there are only three thousand people?"
Wang Fang nodded: "That's right, General Zuo is leading his troops in pursuit, and he asked the general to keep within a distance of one house from him."
Xu Rong suddenly became worried: "Wang Fang, hurry back to General Zuo and advise him to stop chasing immediately and march slowly."
Wang Fangwei said: "General Xu, General Zuo may not be able to listen to what you say, let alone me?"
Xu Rong said coldly: "You must stop General Zuo immediately, think of a way for yourself, go!"
Seeing Xu Rong's face, Wang Fang didn't dare to say anything, so he had to run fast.
But Xu Rong turned around and said: "The whole army listens to the order and speeds up the march, the sooner the better!"
Xu Rong established a high prestige in the two battles before and after Nanyang, so all the soldiers in the army were convinced. After hearing Xu Rong's words, they all accelerated their march. Ten thousand Dong Jun accelerated and approached Dong Min's troops.
And at this moment, Xu Rong suddenly frowned.
I saw a military horse suddenly appearing in front of it, a majestic general in the middle, holding a spear, and a flag bearer beside him, holding the flag tightly.
General Tiger - Zhang!
