Chapter 569: Battle for Dai County
Yu Fuluo returned to Xihe County on the same day, but still left Hu Chuquan to lead the 3,000 Hun cavalry.
Since they knew that there were bilateral stirrups and Takahashi saddles, the Huns naturally had to find a way to equip them, and the three thousand cavalry trained in the follow-up naturally became Hun cavalry archers who could ride and shoot at a distance and use a small shield scimitar in close combat.
After all, the Xiongnu had officially joined the Han Dynasty, and Liu Tao wanted to say that he would change the clothes of these 3,000 Hun soldiers, but he was politely rejected by Hu Chuquan.
The important thing for the Hun cavalry was speed, and the iron armor would slow down the speed of the horses. Moreover, the Hun cavalry is not used to the iron armor, so it is good to give some time to adapt slowly, and it is easy to have problems when they are temporarily used to adapt to the equipment they are not used to.
When Liu Tao heard this, he was not reluctant, and began to march with 3,000 Hun cavalry and Janissaries. At Huguan, he joined up with Huang Zhong's department and began to march towards the front line.
"Ziming, after being silent for so long, are you unwilling?" Liu Tao looked at Wen Chou, Huang Zhong is okay over there, his age is there, and the whole person is gradually becoming Buddhist, fortunately, his martial arts can be maintained very well.
Sometimes Liu Tao also felt that if he didn't want to provoke him, he probably didn't have enough fighting spirit. Then he suddenly understood why Zhuge Liang had to provoke the generals before using Huang Zhong.
"The last general...... is indeed a little unwilling to ......" Wen Chou wanted to be polite, but finally confessed.
came with Yan Liang, originally he was in charge of the cavalry, but because he was not good at riding and shooting, Yan Liang went up, and he made a lot of contributions over the years, but he was relatively dull.
According to his resume, he was indeed promoted, but he did not have a real record, and he still lost some prestige in the army.
"The hole cards are reserved for critical moments, and General Anton is the hole card this time!" Liu Tao said with a smile, "Han Sheng, Jun Yi and Ziming, you have to behave well in this actual battle to destroy the country!" ”
"Yes!" The three of them responded one after another, and the battle intent in their hearts gradually began to rise.
At the same time, the fact that Daijun and Qingzhou successively returned to the Han court naturally reached Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao angrily denounced Zang Ba and Zhu Ling as ungrateful and traitors above the court. Then they have to face the harsh truth, that is, they have no way out, and this war is likely to turn into a war of annihilation.
"I'm going to go on a personal expedition!" Yuan Shao knew that now was not the time to be a good one, he had to do his best to face Liu Tao, and it just so happened that he heard that it was also a royal expedition.
The attack and killing plan specifically aimed at Liu Tao may be able to take the opportunity to launch......
"Your Majesty, what should I do over there?" Xu You asked, after all, Xianbei went south, and he still needed a place to come down.
"At this point, there's nothing to worry about!" Yuan Shao thought for a while and replied, "Contact Yan Han's side, hoping that they can open the passage to Shanggu County and put Xianbei down." ”
Originally, I wanted to say that let Xianbei plague Daijun for a while, and then go south. After defeating Liu Tao in this way, maybe he can take advantage of the situation to go north and occupy Daijun first. Now in this situation, first of all, let's take care of Liu Tao's side first.
"Yes!" Xu Yu received the order, and then immediately went to arrange it.
I didn't ask Liu Bei if he would release it, Dai County was occupied by the Northern Han Dynasty, and now the army of the Northern Han Dynasty is afraid that it has entered the Dai County garrison.
For Yan Han's side, retaking Daijun may be the top priority. To do this, it is necessary to work together with the Jin Kingdom. Even the Xianbei soldiers are necessary to help.
In fact, Xu You's guess was right, when Gongsun Chan first arrived in Shanggu County, he received news that Daijun Taishou had announced his surrender to Liu Tao. It is said that Taishou announced the surrender, at most, a city surrendered.
However, Fu Rui has been serving as a taishou in Daijun since the time of Emperor Ling, and his prestige here is even higher than Liu Bei's, so if he wants to surrender, of course, the whole county will surrender together.
In fact, there are also some officials who are afraid that Liu Tao will fight, as long as they are defeated, then they will be nothing. Surrender now, at least there is still the imperial examination to be examined, and then retain the official position.
In addition, Yan Han's recognition in Dai County is indeed not very high......
Suffering from the loss of Daijun, Gongsun Chan had to adjust his strategy and start to clear the wilderness from Shanggu County. At this time, the envoy sent by Liu Bei came over and explained what Yuan Shao meant.
"It's something that can be solved, why do you want the Xianbei people to interfere?" As a standard hawkish general, Gongsun Chan obviously did not intend to rely on the power of the Hu people.
"General, there is no room for loss in this battle, please be cautious." Tian Yu, who was a military advisor, stepped forward, "Besides, this is what Your Majesty meant......"
The most important thing is to put the Xianbei people in, so that they still lose, then at least there is a saying. If you don't let it in, Gongsun Chan loses, then he will either be idle obediently, or he can only make trouble, learn from Zhang Chao to pull Liu Bei down, and become the emperor himself.
It's just that with Gongsun Zhan's reputation in Yanhan, it is estimated that he has not made a rebellion yet, and has already been destroyed.
"That's it, let it go, just this once!" Gongsun Chan also knew the priority of the matter, and although he was dissatisfied, he had to wave his hand and announce the switch. Needless, he asked: "Where is the army of the Northern Han Dynasty?" ”
"I've entered Daijun and started resting over there. In view of the wartime, local officials were not removed for the time being, but only allowed to maintain law and order. Tian Yu replied that Liu Bei also attaches great importance to intelligence work.
There is more that cannot be collected, at least some rudimentary intelligence, which is still possible.
"Do you know the exact location?" Gongsun Chan continued to ask.
"Set up camp outside Takayanagi Castle." Tian Yu replied that Takayanagi was the seat of the county seat of Dai County. The side has just surrendered, and it is normal for the Northern Han Army to hand over in the past.
"According to the original plan, when the time comes, let my white horse obey and meet the other party first!" The corners of Gongsun Zhan's mouth raised slightly, and he immediately gave an order.
"General, the white horse is the hole card, and the hole card should be used last. Let's start with General Tian and the rebellious general, right? Tian Yu reminded.
General Tian is Tian Kai, the one who was appointed by Gongsun Zan as the Qingzhou Assassin in history, and now serves in the army; The rebellious general Gongsun Du failed to become the Taishou of Liaodong because of Xu Rong's relationship, after all, Dong Zhuo was completely stinky as soon as he took power.
However, Gongsun Du still entered the sight of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan with his outstanding performance, and became a rebellious general.
His two sons, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, also came out one after another, one served as a county magistrate and the other served as a lang official.
On this expedition, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Chan and Tian Kai were generals, and Tian Yu was the military advisor. In the end, there are three generals of the Gongsun clan, in order not to be wrong, Tian Yu can only call them official positions, not their names.
"It's rare to have a treasure in hand, how do you know how to maximize the effect if you don't try the power?" Gongsun Chan retorted that the treasure in his hand could only be used for an army.
"Leave it to the rebel general, if only to test the power." Tian Yu replied.
"You're right, right?" Gongsun Chan was a little unhappy, he actually wanted to be shuang, but he didn't give it like this, and he was directly dissatisfied.
"Humble duty is just doing one's duty." Tian Yu is also helpless, Gongsun Zhan's character is not only reckless, but also does not like others to refute him, if he is really capable of fighting, I am afraid that there will be problems long ago.
"Anyway, it's just a harassment in the early stage, and whoever goes is different...... Gongsun Chan also has his opinion, "If the most powerful is the White Horse Yicong, equipped with treasures, and there is no way to cause them actual damage, then we have to change our strategy." In addition, it is precisely because you use the hole cards as soon as you go up that you can hit the other party by surprise! ”
Unless the other party is also a reckless man, the first time the enemy attacks, he will be cautious...... Anyway, consuming some spell scrolls or something on the other side can be regarded as a gain.
Gongsun Zhan's troops entered Shanggu County, and the Jinyi Guard's secret guards hidden in the city had immediately sent the information to the front line through special channels and handed it over to Zhang Fei.
"Hah! With only 10,000 troops, you dare to stop us? Zhang Fei laughed.
This time, not only Yan Liang and Zhao Yun are under his command, but Zhang Liao, who is twenty-two years old this year, is also under him; At the same time, Fang Yue, the 'famous general of Hanoi', also went to war with the army at this moment.
The whole army had 5,000 soldiers, including 1,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry. The logistics baggage was 6,000 and the siege camp was 500 people.
Five thousand people, basically, with the blessing of spells, it is not a problem to fight with thirty or forty thousand people. The other party is 10,000 people, and they dare to fight, and they don't know if it's courage or recklessness.
In Zhang Fei's opinion, the other party only had to dispatch 30,000 people, or even 50,000 people, before it was possible to fight them. At least to this extent, the fight will not be so boring.
"General, since the other party dares to fight, it means that the other party has the confidence. Until the test comes out, it is not suitable for a full-scale war. Du Xian, as a military advisor, accompanied the army, and came forward to persuade when he heard the words.
Their duty is to capture Daijun, and in fact, Daijun has been captured, so their mission is considered to be completed.
Of course, this result made Zhang Fei very dissatisfied. Just like earlier, Guan Yu planned to enter Peijun, and even kill under Pengcheng, but the other party chose to surrender and let Peijun out.
I'm ready to do a big job, but it ends before it starts, and I feel super uncomfortable.
So Zhang Fei replied: "If the other party doesn't kill him, we still have to wait here?" ”
"Dai County originally belonged to Youzhou, so it was impossible for the other party to sit back and watch us take Dai County so easily. Fighting is bound to be fighting, but it should be treated with caution. At least until His Majesty's side is done, our side can't rush in. Du Xun replied.
"Got it, got it!" Zhang Fei waved his hand, "The general will take a look in Daijun, whether they dare to kill us, whether they dare to fight with us!" ”
Maybe Tian Yu really guessed correctly, the generals they were going to face happened to be reckless......
