Chapter 276 Taiping Dog
(National Day is seven days long, two watches a day, and I praise myself...... )
Wash and shoot in a hurry to escape from Jiming Village, Wuling soldiers took Jiming Village without blood, and at present, Lin Zongjing led three hundred-man teams into it.
Lin Zongjing was only seventeen years old at this time, and the four teenagers Zhao Wuji, Guo Nu'er, Guo Que'er and Xi Fa'er were only seventeen years old, and the oldest of the many children of the soldiers was only eighteen years old.
A thousand years later, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, they are still impulsive teenagers, but Lin Zongjing and others are already middle-level military attachés who stand alone.
Although Lin Zongjing and other children have gone through these three years of training and training, most of them have also experienced the bloody and cruel bloody battle of Xichuan, and there is no big problem in commanding two or three hundred soldiers and horses to defend the small walled city, but they stood up so early to stand alone, which also shows that Han Qian's manpower in Xuzhou is actually limited.
At present, Tian Cheng and Gao Shao led two battalions of foot soldiers, Yang Qin led three warships, and six hundred water battalion soldiers gathered in Chenyang City to accept the command of Zheng Hui and Zhang Ping, and from Wuliuxi, Longya City to Jiming Village, Lin Haizheng led a battalion of foot soldiers to defend.
In addition, in addition to Wukouzhai and Qianyang City, there are 600 soldiers and horses, and the three counties of Langxi, Tanyang, and Zhongfang only have two or three hundred sword archers recruited from the local area to defend.
At this time, if there is any turmoil in Xuzhou, the troops will be stretched, and the same is true, Han Qian and they do not advocate taking the initiative to attack Yuanling from Chenyang!
Jiming Village is an old village with a history of more than 200 years, which has not experienced war, and the walls and buildings in the village are well preserved.
Before retreating, he set fire to the large warehouse that stored grain and materials, but he did not insist that the warehouse be completely burned and fled from the walled city, and the villagers were afraid of the spread of the fire, so they put out the fire together, leaving a large black trace of burning, and only the upper layer of the stored grain was burned.
According to rough statistics, after occupying Jiming Village, 14,500 stone of grain and other military funds were seized from the warehouse, which shows that the surnames of Chenzhou have already made preparations for holding on to Jiming Village for a long time, but they did not think that the Tiger would recklessly send troops and fall into their trap.
However, the villagers in Jiming Village, who are mainly Shanyue native Fanhu, obviously do not have a good impression of the Wuling Army, but under the suppression of force, no one dares to stand up and resist.
Han Qian entered Jiming Village, and all the doors were closed along the street, if it weren't for the bright lights shining through the cracks in the door, people would suspect that this was a dead village.
Han Qian only stayed overnight in Jiming Village, and set off from Jiming Village to Longya City early the next morning.
On the way back to Longya City, Han Qian also specially went around to Lao Ya Pass to see the battlefield where the Booby Trap and Shoot Tiger and the Chicken Ming Zhai soldiers were trapped.
In order to confuse the forces of the surnames in Chenzhou, Han Qian specially brought Zhao Wuji, Xi Fa'er, Xi Ying, etc. into Shuiying's station in Wukou Village.
No one believed that the father and son of the Han family would hand over the military power of the Wuling Army to Zheng Hui, at that time, Han Daoxun stayed in Qianyang City to sit in the town, and Han Qian was with Shuiying again, so how could the chieftains surnamed Chenzhou such as Xiying not be fooled, how could they dare not pay attention to the defense of Datanzhai?
Misled by subjective cognition, all the surnames in Chenzhou have ignored the big difference between attacking Jiming Village and Chenyang City from Laolongxia, and following Wukou Village to attack Datan Village outside the Walled City by water.
Han Qian only returned to Longya City after the Lao Yao Pass ambush, and then made a detour from Laolong Gorge and Jiming Village to Chenyang to meet Zheng Hui and Zhang Ping.
He was in a hurry before, and he hadn't had a chance to take a look at the ambush battlefield that was only five or six miles away from the Laolongxia Post Road.
The remnants of the soldiers broke their halberds and arrows scattered among the trampled grass and yellowed by the cold wind.
Hundreds of corpses were lying in the mountains, and there was no time to collect them; The blood had long since coagulated, and there were pools of purple and black everywhere.
"I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person." Han Qian stood among the withered grasses and had a deeper emotion at this sentence.
Yao Xishui looked at it in surprise.
In her impression, Han Qian did everything he could, his methods were ruthless and decisive, and because of his plan to attack the west, the old crow was lying in wait for more than ten miles, but I didn't expect him to have such a sigh of emotion with a fake face, but a hero like Cao Cao has not written the famous article "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles"?
…………
…………
Han Qian passed through the Laolong Gorge from Lao Yao Pass and returned to Longya City without taking a breath, Zheng Hui sent a messenger to inform that some Tanzhou soldiers and horses had been stationed in Yuanling City.
"Tanzhou's movements are so fast!" Lin Haizheng was still in Longya City at this time, and when he heard the news, he was still shocked that the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou were going south so quickly.
Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang were also quite shocked.
The atmosphere of the world is far more open than that of later generations, but it is still a special case for women to be awarded officials, but Han Qian is in Longya City, and he does not restrict Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang to participate in the military aircraft.
"The forces of the surnames of Chenzhou deployed the main force of the soldiers on the southern front, and there were only 600 soldiers in Yuanling City, and the three sons of Xiying were annihilated in Lao Ya Pass, and the chief of the surname who stayed in Yuanling immediately sent people to Wuling County to ask for help, and the soldiers and horses of Yingtan Prefecture entered the country, and the time was just right." Han Qian was calm, and the news from the messenger did not shock him much.
"Can you determine how many Tanzhou soldiers and horses have entered Yuanling City at present?" Lin Haizheng stared at the military envoy sent by Zheng Hui and asked.
In the first battle of Lao Yao Pass, his department was used as a reserve, although he also participated in the battle against the Xisheyan Department in the final stage, but he did not get a hard battle to fight in the end, and then he was responsible for staying on the front line of Laolongxia and Longya City, which was somewhat regrettable.
At this time, he was more concerned about the movement of Tanzhou's soldiers and horses, and also hoped to directly participate in the conquest of Tanzhou in the future.
Lin Haizheng is much younger than Tian Cheng and Gao Shao, and he is from a family soldier, so he feels that he is a head lower than Zheng Xingxuan, who was born in a famous family, and he is quite eager to prove himself.
"How many Tanzhou soldiers and horses have entered Yuanling City, we still have to wait for confirmation, and at present, we only know that its main general is the Tanzhou veteran Ma Rong." The messenger replied.
Han Qian nodded, and without further questioning, he arranged for someone to lead the messenger down to rest first.
Lin Haizheng asked Han Qian: "Ma Rong is Sima of Langzhou, and he is the second person of the Ma family in Langzhou except for Ma Yuanheng, it can be seen that the fall of Chenyang City and Jiming Village, as well as the annihilation of the main force of Chenzhou's soldiers, have greatly touched Tanzhou, on the other hand, does it also mean that the imperial court has not officially cut the domain, and His Royal Highness is in Ezhou, and has not officially marched into Yuezhou?" ”
Han Qian nodded, very pleased that although Lin Haizheng was belligerent, he could also analyze more signs hidden behind some simple information in a deeper way, which was a prerequisite for becoming a commander in the future.
At this time, Lin Haizheng still needs a long time of carving and precipitation before he gradually matures.
Of course, although this is the case, Han Qian still can't know the current situation in Ezhou for the time being.
The road is dangerous, at this time to send messengers can not take the most convenient waterway, can only go over the mountains and mountains, and at the same time to avoid the eyeline along the Zhai Fanzhai and the scouts in Tanzhou, and it is extremely inconvenient to exchange information with Ezhou.
Han Qian only knew the situation in Ezhou a month ago at this time.
At that time, the third prince Yang Yuanpu, under the escort of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, Zhou Yuan, Wang Lin, Zhang Qian and others, had officially gone to Ezhou to serve as the envoy of Jiedu, and Shen Yang, as the prince of the county, served as the assassin of Ezhou, and actually presided over the preparatory affairs of the war to cut the domain.
In addition to continuing to guard Jingzikou in Zhoushu, Li Zhihe and Chen Jingzhou, who was also a cottage general, as well as Jiangzhou Sima, soldiers and horses Zhong Yanhu and other generals, including Zhou Yi, who had been stationed in Ezhou before, all gathered under the command of Yang Yuanpu, the third prince, plus the state camps in Huangzhou and Ezhou, so that the infantry battalion soldiers assembled in Ezhou reached more than 30,000 people.
The Lou Ship Army and Naval Division led by the Marquis of Zhenyuan also had more than 100 warships and more than 15,000 soldiers who had just set off from Jinling.
In addition, Zhang Peng, the general who served as the assassin of Jingzhou at this time, also gathered 15,000 elite soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.
The Hongzhou direction is also expected to mobilize 15,000 people, mainly local state battalions.
Due to the Jin army's intention to occupy the fertile land of Hedong on the northeast side of the Guanzhong region in the autumn, the Liang army's defensive focus was forced to shift to the northern front, and the Jin army was in a stalemate along both sides of the Yellow River, and the defensive pressure on the northern line of Great Chu was greatly reduced.
However, from mid to late October, the Shu army gathered troops and horses on a large scale to Yiling in the upper reaches of the Jingjiang River, with the intention of sending troops to Jingzhou.
This should have played a role in sending envoys to Shu at the end of August to lobby Tanzhou.
If Tanzhou can become independent from Great Chu, Shu will not have to worry much about the threat from the Chu army, at this time, the Shu army sent troops to contain the Chu army assembled in Jingzhou, not only Han Qian and Zheng Hui, but also Jinling.
This makes it difficult to expect the general Zhang Pan to make a big contribution in the later stage of the war against Tanzhou.
The soldiers and horses assembled in the direction of Hongzhou are mainly local state battalions, and they are clumsy in attacking the city and pulling out the village, so they can only expect them to go out of Yuanzhou and contain a part of the Tanzhou soldiers and horses in the southeast direction, and finally have to count on the nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses gathered by the third prince Yang Yuanpu in Ezhou to act as the real main force, and can successfully capture Yuezhou and advance into the hinterland of Dongting Lake.
Although the order to cut the feudal domain has not yet been issued, the situation has become clear by November, but it is a pity that the vast majority of the elite scouts of the Zuo Division have been incorporated into the army as grassroots military attachés, Han Qian currently lacks the ability to conduct in-depth spying on Tanzhou, and the contact with the direction of Ezhou is too lagging behind, and it is difficult to find out the mobilization of Tanzhou soldiers and horses in a short period of time.
"My lord, how many troops did you say Tanzhou had gathered at this time?" Lin Haizheng still cares about this issue.
Han Qian analyzed with Lin Haizheng:
"In the early years, when the Ma clan ruled the Dongting Lake and the Xiangjiang River Basin, he asked the six households in the county to send a soldier and six households to govern the soldiers, plus the tooth soldiers raised by the Ma clan at that time, when the Ma clan was at its strongest, it once had 70,000 soldiers and horses. The area controlled by Ma Yin and the old generals Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia is a little less than when the Ma clan was at its peak, but the essence area is still there, and if it is fully mobilized, Tanzhou can gather more soldiers and horses before the year than even more than the Ma clan was at its peak in the early years, and it can reach a combat strength of 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers and armor. ”
Lin Haizheng said in surprise: "Tanzhou can recruit such a strong force, isn't it that the third prince sent troops from Ezhou, and there is not much chance of winning?" ”
Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang all looked at each other, and it was not clear on what basis Han Qian judged that the Ma clan could draw so many troops from Dongting Lake and the Xiangjiang River Basin.
