Chapter 242 always needs to be equipped with a big killing weapon
……………………………………
Zuo Fengyi, Wannian County.
Liu Ji's title of the princess of ten thousand years comes from this, so the entire ten thousand years is Liu Ji's food. It's just that the current 10,000 years have been "empty as a wilderness", and tens of thousands of Hunu soldiers are coming to the city, and only such a city is still in the hands of the Han army.
Chen Ran despised the tactics of Huchuquan Siege with three missing ones, one main attack, two feints, standing on the head of the city and counting tents, and checking people's heads can be seen at a glance. However, there were also 10,000 people in the two feints, and they could not be completely treated as if they did not exist, so Chen Ran only divided his troops to defend the city, and arranged two battalions on the east and south sides, while the bow and crossbow regiment remained in the north to prevent the main force of Hunu.
Because there is no strong long-range support, the two feints are extremely fierce, and if it weren't for the good preparation of rolling logs and stones, maybe Hunu could have climbed to the top of the city.
Standing on top of the city, looking at the battle situation, Chen Ran couldn't help but secretly think, if Zhao Yun was here, how would he defend it? Perhaps he will go out of the city by surprise, directly attack the Chinese army of Hunu, and kill the enemy's leading general. What if it's a clerical appointment? Most of them will allocate the garrison troops more finely and tightly, and try to make every drop of water leak. If the king makes trouble...... God knows how this guy will fight.
So, Chen Ran gathered the staff officers of the army and asked everyone to blow the military horn together, and the sound was loud and loud, and it would not be a problem to spread it for at least ten miles and eight miles.
At first, Hu Nu was startled, thinking that the Han army was going to fight back in an all-round way, did he dare to rush out of the city? But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, but the military trumpets in the city were ticking and ticking. Then Hu Nu was stunned again, is this to sing a big drama and boost morale?
That night, the Wannian defenders went out of the city and attacked the Hunu camp outside the south gate, but due to the disparity in strength, the attack on the camp had little effect, and was pursued by Hunu. The commander of the ten thousand cavalry led by Hu Nu even thought that his soldiers and horses were originally just a feint, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to follow the Han army to the city, he would be able to win ten thousand years in one fell swoop, and it would be a great achievement in front of King Zuo Xian at that time.
However, when part of Hu Nu's troops chased out of the camp, they were suddenly intercepted and killed by the Zhao Yun brigade from the west, and then, the rear of the camp, that is, to the south, was raided by the Huaxiong brigade.
It was a service, and more than 7,000 people below the commander of the Hunu Wan cavalry were killed, and the siege of the south collapsed for 10,000 years.
In fact, when the battle was fought in the middle of the night outside the south gate, the Hunu army in the north and east had already heard the sound, but no one dared to act rashly, because there was not enough lighting equipment now, and it was very risky to fight at night. Let the soldiers rush forward with torches? Can you still see it clearly from three feet away? Besides, if the soldiers and horses in ambush are ambushed in the shadows, isn't the one holding the torch just becoming a "fire target"?
In addition, there is another reason, the ancient diet structure is single, not to mention what meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, salt regardless of salt, food regardless of full, from time to time have to add a meal to a meal of human flesh, so in addition to malnutrition, there is a very significant problem is that there are many night blindness, commonly known as "finch blindfold", mainly caused by lack of vitamin A, vision plummets at night, and even can not see.
Because of the long-term consumption of milk and meat, Hu Nu is much less than the people of the Central Plains, fortunately, the old foundation of the A-level army of the Han Zheng Army is either from the Beijing division soldiers, or from the Liang and He, and there are even a lot of Qiang and Hu. The soldiers of the Beijing division can keep up with the nutrition, and the Liang and border armies are accustomed to being close to Qianghu, so they can have enough troops to suddenly launch a night attack.
Otherwise, I really thought that Chen Ran asked the staff officers to collectively blow the military horn in order to sing a play, and it was not to contact the reconnaissance staff of the cavalry outside the city.
When the sky was light, Hu Chuquan personally led the army to the south gate, and what he saw made him both angry and frightened. It seems that even the battlefield has been cleaned, except for the corpses of the Hunu soldiers all over the ground, and the tents that have not yet been burned out, or are still in flames, or there is only smoke left. Everything that can be eaten and used has been taken away, and even the corpses of dead horses are rare, and the commander of the ten thousand horsemen who led the army was hung outside the city wall of the south gate at this moment, leaving only one head, and his face was a little frightened, a little depressed, or aggrieved.
Nearly 10,000 people were eaten overnight, this was by no means only done by the 10,000-year-old defenders, there must be other soldiers and horses in the Han army. Thinking that there was still something unknown, powerful soldiers and horses peeping on the side, Hu Chuquan shuddered, and while sending people to immediately inform the other two armies, he also sent a wide range of horses to investigate, and in addition, he also recalled the army outside the east gate to the north gate, and no longer dared to divide his troops to surround him.
…………
After Xi Zhicai escorted more than 40,000 Qianghu captives back to Luoyang, he wanted to hand over the people to the Prime Minister as soon as possible, and then he could return to chase Liu Hanshao, but Yang Biao and Huang Wan both said that you got so many people back at once, if you act hastily and do not settle well, I am afraid that there will be a big mess. Xi Zhicai also understands this truth, isn't Han Shao sending himself back just to properly handle this matter? But the military government doesn't do anything about the prime minister's house, where should so many people be used and how to use it, even Xi Zhicai is a little confused.
Fortunately, Hu Che'er took the lead and told Xi Zhicai that there were good players in this gang of Qianghu, and they had to choose and expand into the mountain group. Don't look at it now, it's still called the "Mountain Regiment", but Hu Che'er has long been more in charge of people than the brigade commander, and Liu Han rarely said that he has brought this mountain regiment well and can be organized into a mountain division. Therefore, Xi Zhicai was not polite, and directly approved it, and asked Qiao Shan and Ogille to accompany Hu Che'er to pick people.
These Qianghu are different from those pure nomadic herds such as the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei, among them, there are many chieftains of this tribe, among them, there are sheep and horses, some can drill mountains to hunt, some can cultivate the fields, even close to the west sea, and some can row boats and fish.
On the way to Luoyang, the more than 40,000 captives got along well with the soldiers of the Han Zheng Army who escorted them, and saw the "miracle" of the Han Emperor saving the dead on the way, which was enough to appease or deter, so the captives were basically emotionally stable. Now as soon as I heard that I could join the Han Zhengjun, I was immediately excited and enthusiastic, but Hu Che'er only needs those who can drill into the mountains to hunt and pass strict screening.
In the end, Hu Che'er picked up more than 3,000 people, and Yuan Tan ran over again and said: "Go to work with my brother, take care of eating and eating, and wear warm clothes, whoever works hard, and rewards the salary, if you perform well, you can reduce the sentence!" ”
Yuan Tan is now known as "Jingshi PHS", and the revelations are definitely reliable internal news. Once the investment promotion meeting is held, cement factories will be built one after another, and at that time, it is impossible for him to do exclusive trading, but this does not prevent people from having foresight. If nothing else, a large number of workers are needed when a number of cement plants are built, right? Whether or not they can be recruited at that time is one thing, and even if they are recruited, the wages of the workers will be stuck to death. In addition, every cement factory has a "homework", that is, to make cement bricks for road construction, if the business is good, should the cement be supplied to the employer first, or the cement bricks should be handed over to the imperial court first?
Therefore, Yuan Tan thought about getting a batch of free labor first, and then taking advantage of the lack of projects to do in winter, he stepped up the production of cement bricks, so that he could keep them for the imperial court to hand in the homework. Liu Zi said that it was cold in winter, and there was no way to ensure the quality of the cement bricks after freezing, Yuan Tan said very wittily: "Find a way not to let it freeze, isn't it?" ”
As a result, Yuan Tan's cement factory has several more oversized workshops, which are heated by firewood stoves, just like greenhouses. The workers also said that this was a kind heart of the factory director Yuan, who was afraid that the workers would freeze, so he specially gave benefits. Then, Yuan Tan took advantage of a small move and got back several gains.
Then, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan came, to pick some people to repair water conservancy, Cao Hong and Cao Ren came, to pick people to build roads, Hedong is far away, and it is uneasy recently, so the people of the Wei family came the latest, and directly took the rest away, digging coal and mining, coking and steelmaking, and not too many people should be used. The more than 40,000 captives who originally worried about Aiqing who stayed in Beijing were divided up in a blink of an eye, and looking at the meaning of the Wei family in the end, it seemed that they were still a little unsatisfied, and they thought that they had less share.
After placing the prisoners, Xi Zhicai was in a hurry to leave for Chang'an, but he always needed to be prepared by Changwei to find him again, saying that there was a batch of strategic materials, and it was best to be escorted over by Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai asked what kind of materials it was, if it was food, grass, clothing or arrows and weapons, the quantity was too large, and the escort team would definitely go slowly, in that case, you might as well arrange additional manpower, so as not to delay your trip.
Wei Qi "hehe" Yile, pretending to mysteriously lead Xi Zhicai to see it in person. Two of them are the Zama nail and the compass, these things are all known to Xi Zhicai, and they were invented by the two little apprentices newly collected by Han Shao, which are indeed sharp weapons, but the third thing, Xi Zhicai was also confused when he saw it.
I saw Wei Qi holding a strange "weapon", the front end is like a split half-drawn bamboo tube, and like a tile, but it is made of fine iron, there is no edge edge, but it is also thin and sharp, although there is an iron thorn in the middle, but it is surrounded by iron tiles outside, and it does not play a lethal role, in addition, there is a wooden handle more than three feet long, and the upper and lower ends are with horizontal handles.
Xi Zhicai has only been studying for a long time, and he can't figure out what this thing is for, it doesn't look like a weapon, it's more like a shovel, but the two sides are so powerful, is it used to shovel water?
Seeing that the chief of the general staff of the drama who could make His Majesty and can be said to be the most powerful in the Han Zheng army was stunned, Wei Qishuang laughed, indicating that he was still a little dry as the chief of the general needs. A soldier guarding the arsenal was called over and asked him to demonstrate the use of this thing to the general staff of the theater. I saw the soldier take the thing and come to the ground outside the arsenal, first spit and foam at the palm of his hand, then clenched the wooden handle tightly, and poked it into the ground fiercely!
