Chapter 477: All the people can be soldiers
First Jitou Pass, then Keigu, after Huan Wen decided to surrender and rebel, the Han army's next advance turned out to be extremely smooth, most of them were in the surrender of the defenders, and only some sections needed to be conquered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are many reasons why most of the defenders in the northern part of the Han Dynasty will surrender without a fight, and the offensive after the invasion of the Han army is too fast and fierce is more or less a factor of occupancy, and the most important thing is Li Yi's counterattack.
The reason why Li Yi rebelled against the water is quite simple, his status is high enough, he knows the current situation of the Li family Chenghan, the long-term internal turmoil, there has been more than one rebellion after the new king and other thrones, most of the civil officials and military generals who are really for the country have been killed, and there are not many national cities in the entire Li family Chenghan, and some are opportunists like him.
A useless and even more stupid king, composed of opportunists, will sooner or later be overthrown by the people when there is no external threat, and it is natural that he will be defeated when there is an external threat and the foreign enemy is strong.
As the Taibao, Li Yi decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he didn't spend much effort at Jitou Pass, just set up a bureau and killed the commander of the pass, as soon as Fu An died, the defenders were immediately in his hands, and the next moment was the switch to surrender.
The battle process for Keigu is not too complicated, Li Yi and the Han army wearing the uniforms of the Li Cheng Han army easily captured most of the Guancheng along the way, and only the main camp of the Kei Valley was captured before a fierce battle occurred, but because the troops of the Li Cheng Han were really unable to recover from the rapid upheaval situation, the battle for the main camp seemed fierce but could not change anything.
In April of the fourth year of Yuan Shuo, the Han army that broke out at the forefront was only twenty-seven miles away from the southern expedition, and they were disguised as the attire of Li's Cheng Han army.
The yellow sand is less than six miles from the exit of the Baoshui Road, and it is located within ten miles of the east bank of the Baoshui. As a city established in the Shu Han Dynasty, it was originally used as a military fortress, and the long history of the long river has gradually become an ordinary city for the people to settle in the uninterrupted flow, and it has evolved in the rise and fall of the past again.
As the main general of the Han army in the north, Zan Jian, he arranged 8,000 defenders in the small city of Huangsha, after all, Huangsha is located not far from the exit of the Baochuan Road, the importance of this location has been shown in the Shu Han period, otherwise the city would not have been built.
Because of Li Yi's backlash, not only did Zan Jian, who was in Nanzheng, not know the development of the war, but the defenders of Huangsha did not know what the situation was in front of them at all, and the number of disguised Han troops was not much, and it was easy for the Huangsha defenders to open the city gate with Li Yi's warrant.
The Li Cheng Han soldiers guarding the city gate are full of questions, the average height of Shu is about one meter six, but some Guanzhong immigrants are generally above one meter seven, but Li Cheng Han is a Di regime, resulting in Li Cheng Han is the first to choose the same Hu people when recruiting soldiers, most of the Hu people are about one meter five, and the relatively tall Jin people are rarely recruited.
The average height of the Han family Miao in the Central Plains is more than 1.7 meters, and the soldiers of the Han army are the Han family Miao descendants in the Central Plains.
"Do it!"
Just like the previous times, it was the height difference that caused a huge hole in the camouflage after approaching, resulting in the fact that it was impossible to enter the city completely by camouflage, and could only do it directly at the city gate.
At the beginning of the fighting, the shouts of killing in different languages resounded, spreading from the city gate to the city, and the small number of Han troops gradually broke through after controlling the city.
Fierce fighting broke out in Huangsha, and the Han army, which was not camouflaged, appeared in the area where it could be seen from the head of the city.
On the horizon with the mountains as the background, a pole of flags appeared first, and a long black shadow moved forward, and it took enough soldiers to form a large black shadow.
There is a saying that Wangshan runs a dead horse, and Wangcheng will also run a dead horse, but the Han army on this road is affected by the plank road and does not have many cavalry, they can clearly see the city in the distance, and it is not so easy to reach it in a short time.
"Rest assured." Liu Rui followed the troops and spoke while trotting: "What Lin Feng brought is Xuanfeng, and he will definitely firmly control the city gate." ”
That's right, Liu Rui's troops were once again singled out as the vanguard, and Lin Feng was sent by Liu Rui to seize the gate of Huangsha with the military marquis he was used to.
Every Han soldier was trotting, and they still needed to run six or seven miles to reach Huangsha, and there were more than 700 robes in front of them who were fighting bloodily.
Huangsha is really a small city, the permanent population will not exceed 10,000, most of them are Qiang and Di people, and in the minority are Zahu and Han Miao descendants, and the city becomes very crowded after the 8,000 defenders settle in.
A fierce battle broke out on the northern wall, and the great news of the movement soon spread throughout the city, and the defenders rushed to support at once, but the reaction of the people could not be recounted one by one.
The honest head is a Han Miao family living in Huangsha City, his family has six people, a daughter-in-law and three sons and a daughter, the eldest son is nineteen years old, and the youngest daughter is only three years old.
The news that the Han army was going to fight has long been spread, and the news that the Hu people launched a racial vendetta earlier has long been there, and the ethnic vendetta in the territory of the Li Cheng Han Kingdom relative to the Central Plains is not serious, that is because Shu has long been the status quo of multi-ethnic coexistence, and then the ruling class of the Li Cheng Han is not interested in racial vendetta.
During the outbreak of war, any movement around me will seem extremely abrupt, honestly hiding behind the porter with a kitchen knife in his hand, and hearing a small knock on the door seems to hear a thunderstorm.
His 19-year-old eldest son and 17-year-old second son leaned against the wall with farm tools, and the younger children were hugged by their daughter-in-law and hid in the back room.
A few small knocks on the door made almost everyone in the family shake, and the honest head of the house almost slashed the kitchen knife at the door that didn't look strong.
"Honestly, it's me."
The voice sounded a little rough, and the people who spoke out had dark and rough skin like ordinary people, and the honest face looked a little excited at the moment, and others called him Lao Zhangtou, whose full name was Zhang San.
The honest head looked outside through the crack in the door, and when he saw that people didn't open the door, he responded sullenly: "The soldiers and horses are in chaos, don't hide from disasters, what are you doing here." ”
The people outside the door were not only Lao Zhangtou, but also a few familiar neighbors and old guys in addition to him.
"Open the door first." Lao Zhangtou continued to knock on the door again, and seemed to be panting slightly, I don't know whether he was excited or nervous and said: "Master Wang is here, the day has come for us to fight for the young man's future." ”
Honestly know what Lao Zhangtou said, the vendetta of the Central Plains race is too big, and the fight between Hu and Han can be said to be a river of blood and millions of corpses, and it is difficult to know it. Under the large-scale racial vendetta, the newly rising lord of the Han State offered a reward, the reward was not only for the Hu people in the Central Plains, but also for the countries around the Central Plains to kill the Hu people and take the head to the Han realm to ask for a reward.
The words of fighting for the future of the young man are very straightforward, if the Han army does not kill, as long as they do not die but are bullied, they can endure the crime and live, anyway, they will survive for decades. But now that the Han army is killing, it is one thing to take advantage of the chaos to take revenge and complain, the more important thing is to kill Hu to get a reward, shouldn't you earn a few acres of thin land for your family, and don't you fight for the young man who may join the Han army?
The door opened with a "babbling", and several people poured into the small house.
"When the king kills here, that is, the passes in front have been captured." Lao Zhangtou's honest face was both nervous and excited, and he said with trembling lips: "Ah Liu is like playing when he sees Wang Shizai, and he will definitely be able to capture this city." ”
Ah Liu in the old mouth is actually one of the county soldiers in Huangsha, and he is a mixed race of Hu and Han. After the outbreak of the fighting, this half-breed chose to run, sneak home and take off the blue shirt, and then sneak to the neighbor Lao Zhangtou's house to agitate.
"Really killed?" Honestly's hands were shaking, he subconsciously glanced at the eldest and second child in the family, and swallowed his saliva: "If it is really our own people who are the masters of the house, it is true that we will reward the fields and officials...... So let's fight? ”
As if echoing each other from afar, the noise and fighting suddenly came, and it was the people who had faster hands and feet already doing it.
Seven or eight people poured out of the honest house, and what they saw was a chaotic street, and the neighbors who usually seemed honest were fighting each other with all kinds of things as weapons, and it was the Han and Hu people who were fighting each other.
When the Han people saw the Han army coming, they felt that the sky above their heads was about to change, and they had to muster up the courage to earn something for themselves. They will contact each other, collude with each other, gather a certain number of people and start looking for opportunities.
When the Hu people learned that the Han army was killed, too many rumors may not be true, but they believed that the Han army would purge the Hu people, and they were worried and afraid that they would definitely want to live. Escaping has become the choice of most Hu people, and they have to form a gang when they run.
People from two different camps suddenly encountered on the road, the first moment may be stunned and stunned, the two sides stared at each other for a short time, who rushed to each other first There is no need to be exquisite, and the fight begins at that.
"Get!" The old Zhang Tou shouted in a tremolo: "Kill them!" ”
I don't know when it began, a large-scale fighting began to break out in the city, first between the non-army, the defenders reacted and then mobilized to suppress the Han people in the city, and it didn't take long for the defenders to kill themselves again without knowing what the situation was.
When Liu Rui led the army to the ground, he went up to the city tower and looked into the city, one after another smoke drifted from the city to the sky, and there were scenes of fighting everywhere as far as the eye could see.
"The people of the city spontaneously killed Hu." Lin Feng did not personally participate in the fight, there was no blood on his body, his hairstyle was not messy, he held the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand, held the helmet with the other, and grinned and said, "The defenders also fought on their own." ”
The Huangsha defenders will fight on their own, it is some of the people who surrendered before who contact their partners to rebel, and then those Han and Miao descendants in the defenders will stand on the side of the old folks.
The Han army continued to advance into the city from the gates, and now they had to put out the rebels and contact those who revolted.
In the afternoon, the fighting in Huangsha City had completely stopped, and the flag of the Han army was fluttering at the head of the city.
When Yuan Qiao's figure appeared in Huangsha, Liu Rui had already figured things out.
"The reward of the people is naturally to verify the statistics and give them out as quickly as possible." Yuan Qiao has the right to reward the land, but it should be the batch of ownerless fields after he gets it, and the ownerless fields are generally held by the Hu people who were killed. He asked Liu Rui, "Have you sent scouts?" ”
Huangsha is only less than 20 miles away from Nanzheng, and the mountainous areas still account for most of the way, and there is only a small area of plain within the range of seven miles to Nanzheng.
"Sent." It was the first time for Liu Rui to speak face-to-face with Yuan Qiao, and his attitude was very respectful: "The first batch of scouts has already returned, and about 15,000 enemy troops from Nanzheng's side first left the city, and then turned around and went back after going out for four or five miles. ”
Yuan Qiao just let out two "hehe" sounds.
Nanzheng had 50,000 Li Chenghan defenders, and it was normal for Zan Jian to send 15,000 to help Huangsha, unless he confirmed that Huangsha was lost, otherwise it would be very abnormal to withdraw later.
Yuan Qiao's judgment was that Zan Jian's psychological pressure was huge, and even Zan Jian didn't understand how the Han army could appear in Huangsha so quickly, and the huge psychological pressure coupled with the inability to grasp the situation made Zan Jian choose the most conservative strategy, that is, he would rather let the Huangsha defenders go than take any risks.
[It seems that this game is a win. The expression on Yuan Qiao's face revealed his inner thoughts, and Liu Rui, who was on the side, also showed a relaxed smile. He found that Liu Rui was laughing, restrained his emotions, and said: "Elect a few prominent representatives, and the official will personally issue rewards to them." ”
Ah Liu became a hero, and most of the people who participated in the uprising said that the reason for the rebellion was that Ah Liu contacted and organized from it, and it didn't matter whether it was really or not.
Ah Liu that Yuan Qiao saw was a twenty-four-year-old mixed-race child, in fact, as long as Ah Liu didn't say it himself, his appearance was no different from that of the Han family and Miao family, and Ah Liu said it himself at the first time.
"There is more Han blood in the villain's veins, and a heart is completely beating for the Han family." Ah Liu's attitude seemed very humble, as soon as he saw Yuan Qiao, he pushed the golden mountain and bowed to the jade pillar, and he spoke in a singing tone: "I had the intention of defecting to the king early on, and now I finally got my wish." ”
Yuan Qiao was full of majesty on the surface, and he bowed his head while listening, but in fact, he was stunned.
