Spy investigation is the easiest way for the soldiers to find someone to vent their anger on. Everyone hates the person who poisoned them. As long as one is found, it will incite the passion of a group of people.

Wu Sangui has led the army for many years, of course he knows the thoughts of these fighters, as long as their hatred is aroused, the combat power will be multiplied instantly.

"Pass down the order to interrogate the spies of the Ming army in each battalion. Anyone involved, regardless of their position, will not be lightly forgiven." Wu Sangui ordered harshly.

Not far away, Wang Fuchen applauded happily, as if this incident had nothing to do with him.

"Tie Wang Fuchen up for me." Wu Sangui stared at Wang Fuchen and turned his face almost instantly. There was only one reason: the combat power of Wang Fuchen was second only to Wang Pingfan.

After getting rid of Wang Fuchen, Wu Sangui was able to control half of the Zhou army's strength.

"Ah~ah, kill me! I'm not a spy."

In the middle of the camp, Wang Fuchen was tied to a wooden stake, and two big men kept beating his chest with leather whips.Poor "horse kite" Wang Fuchen was beaten to pieces, but he still refused to admit it.

"You are not a spy, so who suggested going to Queshan Racecourse?" Wang Pingfan asked with a sneer.

"The one who suggested going to the racecourse was not alone." Wang Fuchen took a sip.

Wu Sangui hid in the tent and recalled what happened these days, a figure appeared in his mind, he was Fang Guangzhang.Wu Sangui remembered that it was his most trusted counselor who urged him to go to the Queshan Racecourse. At that time, he originally wanted to find a small road around Xiangyang to enter Jianghan.

Thinking about it now, Xiangyang is a plain. Wouldn’t it be better to bypass Xiangyang City and find a road southward than to take this road?

"Confused!" Wu Sangui slapped himself back.

This is a well-designed trap, and Wu Sangui fully understands it.

"Report to the emperor, Mr. Fang is gone."

Just as Wu Sangui figured out the key point, Fang Guangzhang disappeared, which was another slap in the face of Wu Sangui.The master of the spy ran away, leaving only a wronged Wang Fuchen.

"Why are you standing still, why don't you look for it quickly?" Wu Sangui dropped the cup.

"Then, should Wang Fuchen be released?" Wang Pingfan asked.

"Let what go, let him lead the soldiers to kill you?" Wu Sangui's vicious gaze made Wang Pingfan feel chilled, but he soon understood that Wang Fuchen could not be released, he could only be accused of being a spy and then killed.

However, when Wang Fuchen died, all the middle and high-ranking generals were all sad, and everyone was looking for a way out for themselves.After the news of the wildfire was confirmed, everyone in Zhou Jun gave up hope for victory.

The sky in the distance was as tragic as the end of the world, and negative emotions permeated the entire Zhou army barracks.

Chapter 565 : Zhao Yinxuan took the risk to enter the pass

The battle on Hu Yiqing's side has been going on for ten days, and the two sides have invested more than 4 troops in this small valley, more than 3 of the Zhou Army, and more than [-] of the [-]th Army.

This was a tragic battle, to the extent that the two sides fought almost as a refueling tactic.The refueling tactic is the least favorite tactic of all commanders. It has high casualties but low value.

Zhou's army had already withdrawn from Hangu Pass, and all its troops were concentrated on the small battlefield of Hujiaao, while all the troops of the [-]th Army had already marched westward, and the two sides were blocked here, forming an endless situation.

When a battle is fought to this extent, it cannot be won by manpower alone. What affects the battlefield is the weapon, in layman's terms, the cannon.

The Fifteenth Army did not have many cannons, and they were not field troops, so the long-range firepower of both sides was basically superior to that of the Zhou Army in terms of numbers.

"The enemy is going to fire, so hide them all for me." This is the third time Zhang Mazi has rotated into battle. As for his subordinates, they have already changed countless faces. The original brothers were sent to Luoyang. There were dozens of them, but he was the only one who had only a few broken skins.

The range of the cannon was not far, and the actions of the Zhou army before firing the cannon were almost visible to the naked eye, so as long as the enemy was about to fire, the Ming army would start warning.

"Boom..." With a few rumbling sounds, the black dots grew from small to large until they hit the ground with dust.The bomb defense hole where Zhang Mazi hid was not small, and there were about a dozen people squeezed into it.

"Bah, bah. Damn, what kind of bombardment did these Zhou troops shoot? Why did they even fly over with stone marbles?" Zhang Mazi spat out the mud from his mouth, and he obviously saw a round stone rolled to the entrance of the cave.

He remembered that when Zhou Jun took over the defense line last time, he still used irons. Why did the ones he hit this time turn into stones? This is not normal.

"The army commander said that Zhou's army is at the end of its strength, and they have run out of shells. You will see their attack later, and they are scattered like sheep dung." The next one, who is also a battalion commander, took Zhang Asako's words stubble.

"Brother, which division are you from?" Zhang Mazi threw a cigarette over, thinking that the other party was sent by the military to support him.

"I'm the commander of the 55nd Battalion of the 603rd Regiment of the [-]th Division. Brother, how about you?" The other party took the cigarette and struck a match.

"The 53rd Battalion of the 595th Regiment of the [-]rd Division. Are you here to support us?" Zhang Mazi asked.

"No, we were originally going to retreat today to rest, but an order came temporarily, let us cooperate with the friendly counterattack." The other party said.

"Counterattack?" Zhang Mazi was taken aback, he had never received such a military order.

"Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot..." Before the words fell, the horns all over the mountains and plains sounded.Almost in an instant, all the defending Ming troops jumped out immediately, and the army turned from defense to offense, and rushed towards Zhou army like a flood.

Dazed and dazed, Zhang Mazi rushed forward with his scattered battalions, counting left and right, and there were not many of them who could carry the company flags.

Deng Zhirong stood on the top of Hujia'ao Houshan, looking at Zhou Jun retreating like a tide with ease.

"Is the news accurate?" Deng Zhirong asked Hu Yiqing.

"It's absolutely true. Zhao Yinxuan has already contacted the people from the Shaanxi branch of the Tiandihui in Xi'an. To prove the accuracy, they and the Tiandihui both sent messages." Hu Yiqing replied.

"Yes, Luoyang received a letter from Feige. Tongguan received a letter this morning. And Zhou Jun on the opposite side also had a change last night, and they should have received the news." Chief of Staff of the [-]th Army answer.

"Okay! Zhao Yinxuan has made a great contribution this time. Only two thousand soldiers dared to attack Xi'an, which is worthy of our title of special forces." Deng Zhirong was obviously very happy.

"That's not because our brother troops everywhere have emptied the Zhou army. Who would have thought that Xi'an is actually an empty city." Hu Yiqing was so happy that Zhao Yinxuan made meritorious service. Even if he was jealous of Zhao Yinxuan's personal contribution, the contribution of the entire army was still He is from the 53rd division.

"Right now, the Zhou army is returning to aid with all its strength. If we fail to reinforce Zhao Yinxuan in time, then we may lose the city of Xi'an again. Li Benshen's attack today is clearly just a play, and he has long wanted to escape. ’ said the chief of staff.

"Yes! We still have Tongguan in front of us. It depends on the combat capabilities of our [-]th Army. I passed on our military order: use divisions as units, pursue with all our strength, and don't consider casualties. Whoever arrives in Xi'an first will make a contribution. "Deng Zhirong was extremely excited.

……

Let's talk about Zhao Yinxuan later.

For more than ten days, this guy led 2000 people to intercept Zhou Jun's food, and after traveling to the vicinity of Tongguan, he happened to meet Li Benshen leading troops out of Tongguan.

According to Zhao Yinxuan's thinking, since the main force of the Zhou army has already left Tongguan, the way back for them to return to Guguan will be very difficult and dangerous, and a group of brothers under him are unwilling to go into the valley.

How to do?

Zhao Yinxuan planned to sneak attack Zhou Jun's granary. This time, instead of burning a temporary granary, he wanted to take away the permanent large grain near Tongguan.

However, the first thing to do is how to cross Tongguan.

Of course, ordinary troops think of a strong attack, but the [-]th Army is a special force, and they consciously instilled some special combat ideas during training.

The transformation of the army's combat thinking does not happen overnight, it is a process of gradual evolution.

Since the Fifteenth Army took over Hangu Pass, it has been a process of changing its combat thinking from the time when it suffered losses in the initial positional battle to when Zhao Yinxuan and the others were forced into desperation.

The reason why the troops did not disperse was because the [-]th Army could keep up physically during training.Of course, it's just that the physical fitness has kept up, but the combat thinking has lagged behind.

Zhao Yinxuan hid outside Tongguan for two days, and then he saw that the entire Tongguan defenders were actually transferred to the eastern front, and a large number of wounded Zhou soldiers began to be transported to Guanzhong.
