Chapter 3: The Rebellious Kingdom

was still waiting for the yellow scarf to subside, but Qin Hua, who was competing for hegemony, suddenly got a piece of news.

The kingdom rebelled.

What Qin Hua, who is not very familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, does not know is that in the fourth year of Zhonghe, in addition to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a major rebellion also broke out in Liangzhou.

The Hanyang Kingdom united with the leader of the Qiang people, Beigong Yubo, to raise 30,000 troops, under the slogan of killing the eunuchs, in fact, in response to the Yellow Turban Uprising, to peek into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

When Qin Hua knew the news, Beigong Yubo had already broken through Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, and coerced Liangzhou to engage in Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join.

Now Beigong Yubo has joined forces with the kingdom to surround Hanyang City.

Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie urgently asked for help from Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng.

Qin Hua and others, who belonged to Wuwei County, were also ordered to rescue Hanyang together.

Unlike the Qiang people who fought against the plundering before, this time it was a battle between armies, and Qin Huang was worried about his son, so he asked Wang Po and Meng Xin to go with the army.

Because of Qin Huang's relationship, Ma Teng should have served as the military commander this time, but in the end, this position fell to Qin Hua's head.

Qin Hua had less than 5,000 troops at his disposal, all of whom were soldiers of the local Tuntian captain.

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng is still recruiting soldiers and horses from the six counties and has not yet left.

In August, Qin Hua led his army to Hanyang, but found that the size of the rebel army at this time had reached the scale of sixty or seventy thousand, and the number was still increasing.

Half of its composition were warriors from various Qiang tribes, and half were Han outcasts.

Although this army was mixed, Qin Hua did not dare to take the initiative.

He knew that with his team of less than 5,000 to resist this army, it would be a blow to the stone.

So Qin Hua led his army to hide in the nearby mountains and forests, collecting information about the enemy army before making plans.

The rebels of the kingdom were stationed ten miles outside the city of Hanyang, and except for the big tent, which was quite orderly, the rest of the barracks were arranged in a "natural" manner.

There was no order for the army to camp at all, as if whoever grabbed the territory would be stationed there.

This is undoubtedly a taboo for soldiers, but Qin Hua at this time is powerless, after all, the difference in strength is too far.

Although the Han army is also a regular army, it lacks training, and nearly half of the opponent's men and horses are Qiang, although their legion combat ability is average, but their individual combat strength is above that of the Han army.

"Shoucheng, have you found the location of the enemy's grain and grass?"

"Report to the army Sima, the enemy's grain and grass are fifty miles behind, and there are 5,000 soldiers and horses guarding it."

"Okay."

Qin Hua's eyes lit up, although he was not familiar with how to fight a cold weapon war, but he often heard examples of burning grain and grass.

"Inform the whole army that we will take a detour to the enemy's grain field and burn their grain and grass first."

"Yes."

With Qin Hua's order, the five thousand men and horses began to bypass the enemy camp and walk towards the rear.

At this time, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng Contempt had also raised 20,000 troops and began to march to Hanyang, accompanied by 3,000 men and horses of Sima Dong Zhuo, the army under Zhang Huan, the general of Zhonglang.

There are many war horses in the north, but Qin Hua's troops only have five hundred war horses, and these cavalry undoubtedly have little effect on the battle of tens of thousands of people, but they are very effective in chasing deserters.

Qin Hua asked Ma Teng to lead the 500 cavalry to intercept and kill the enemy soldiers who were about to flee to the enemy's camp to report the news, and he himself led the remaining 4,000 soldiers to raid the enemy's grain field.

By the time we arrived at the grain field, it was already dark.

Qin Hua did not stop, and after arriving, he ordered the army to prepare for a surprise attack.

The enemy army was originally a group of miscellaneous troops, and they were strong at this time, so they didn't do much vigilance at all.

They didn't find out until Qin Huajun came dozens of meters outside the camp.

"Kill."

Qin Hua was the first to rush into the camp, and the spear in his hand was frequently discharged, and every time he shot out, an enemy was killed.

Wang Po and Meng Xin followed, and their martial arts were not under Qin Hua.

With three men as arrows, the rest of the soldiers followed them and rushed into the camp.

The Kingdom Army, who was still drinking and enjoying themselves, did not expect that there would be an enemy, and they panicked for a moment and did not know what to do at all.

Finally, someone put on their clothes and armor, picked up their weapons and prepared to go out to meet them, but by this time, more than half of Qin Hua's army had already entered the camp.

"Whoever attacks, I am..."

A man dressed like a general just wanted to report his name, but he was stabbed in the throat by Qin Hua, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

"General Wang is dead."

"General Wang is dead."

...

Unexpectedly, this person was actually the commander here, and as soon as the general surnamed Wang died, the enemy army immediately became chaotic.

The kingdom army, which had already begun to organize decent resistance, immediately dispersed, and the Qin Hua army all rushed into the camp, but they began to flee outside the camp.

Qin Hua ignored those deserters, what he wanted to do most now was to occupy this grain land.

At first, he thought that he would encounter strong resistance, so he was ready to burn all the grain and grass, but since he took it so easily, he was reluctant to burn it. The stockpile of tens of thousands of troops is not a small amount, and it would be a pity if it was burned.

"Those who descend will not be killed."

Qin Hua shouted, and when the other soldiers saw Qin Hua shouting this, they also immediately shouted, in order to take care of those Qiang people, some people shouted this sentence in the Qiang language.

Most of these people were bewitched by the kingdom, or were ordered by the tribal chief, so naturally they did not have the determination to resist desperately.

After learning that they still had a chance to live, they all laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged.

"Qin Yue, lead the troops to collect the prisoners, and the rest of the people stabilize the camp."

Qin Yue was a servant of the Qin family and was given the surname Qin. Just like Wang Po and the others, they were both sent by Qin Huang to assist Qin Hua.

There are more than 1,000 war horses in the camp, which are used to transport grain and grass in Asia, and Qin Hua took his own soldiers to ride the war horses and went to meet Ma Teng.

For the sake of those grains and grass, Qin Hua couldn't let the deserters go to the enemy camp to report the news.

When Qin Hua arrived, Ma Teng was also gathering his troops, and they seemed to be ready to leave.

"Shoucheng, how is it."

"Xuanhu, you're here. No, it should be called Jun Sima. ”

"Well, have any soldiers broken through your blockade?"

Seeing Qin Hua talking about business, Ma Teng stopped joking, and immediately said: "Qiqi Army Sima, there are only a few dozen people who have fled to the enemy camp, and we have already killed all of them." ”

Saying that, the soldiers behind Ma Teng also led bloody heads to ask for credit.

Although he knew that the enemy's head was a proof of military merit, Qin Hua still couldn't stand it a little and motioned for them to retreat.

Returning to the camp with Ma Teng and the others, Qin Yue had already counted the battle losses this time.

"The enemy army of more than 5,000 people, nearly 2,000 were killed, 1,500 were captured, and the rest fled."

"More than 4,300 of our troops participated in the battle, more than 100 were killed in battle, more than 100 were seriously wounded, and countless were slightly wounded."

After listening to Qin Yue's report, Qin Hua was very satisfied, this level of battle damage was undoubtedly a big victory.

At this time, Qin Hua had a new plan in his heart.
