Chapter 62 The Western Regions Army is stationed against each other
The army prepared for ten days, and within these ten days, Zhang Zhao also completed the handover with Tian Feng, and in Shule County, Zhang Zhao assisted Jia Xu in recruiting 20,000 young men to help defend the city.
At the same time, as the huge war machine began to turn, first of all, Zhao Yun's two thousand tiger and leopard horses had all been dressed, including the two thousand carefully selected war horses, which were also installed with thin armor.
The whole army was armed with a two-inch iron gun, and the head of the gun was made of two inches of fine iron, the spear was eight-sided, and the two sides were open, with armor-piercing edges, and the ordinary fish scale armor, piercing armor, and chain mail were pierced by one blow under the blade of the gun;
The barrel of the gun is integrated with the head of the gun, formed by pouring molten iron through the whole mold, and the barrel is hollow, and the inside is filled with soaked poplar wood.
Because there is a big gap with the manufacturing process of ordinary Ma Shuo, Liu Bei did not name it a lance, but named it an iron gun, and the weight of the entire iron gun was twice that of an ordinary iron gun, but there was no problem for the two thousand elites selected.
At the same time, Jia Xu led an army of 39,000 out of Shule City, encamped in the southeast corner of Shule City, and formed a rivalry with Shule City and Xu Huang's Leopard Tao Army. After the camp was completed, Jia Xu recruited Zhang Ren, and after the two conspired, Zhang Ren led 10,000 black cavalry troops from the headquarters to leave the camp.
And Xu Huang and Tian Feng also led 10,000 leopard Tao troops to arrive at the Jingjue County Quilt Department, and after Tian Feng's suggestion, Xu Huang whispered in Dawuti's ear for a while, Dawuti led 2,000 leopard Tao troops Tiger Wolf left Great Britain and galloped to the north.
Everything has been prepared, and the ten-day period agreed by Liu Bei has also been reached. The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Zhao Yun and the hundred battle army led by Lu Bu were already ready, and that night, Liu Bei and Liu Bei led an army of 12,000 quietly from Shule City and went straight to the direction of Dawan Kingdom.
At this time, in Jia Xu's camp, Zhang Ren also led 10,000 troops to leave the camp at night, and their whereabouts were unknown. At this time, Jia Xu issued a military order, starting at breakfast tomorrow, each team of soldiers must be doubled, and everyone except for the patrol team must not leave the camp, and all the generals must not go to war without an order, otherwise the military law will deal with it.
…………………………………….
At this time, the coalition camp will gather together again.
"Why did Liu Bei divide another 10,000 troops to garrison Jingjue, in fact, they should understand that even if we attack Jingjue, as long as his army still exists, it is impossible for us to occupy Jingjue, so it doesn't matter much whether to garrison it or not." Chi Xingmi asked puzzled.
"It is said that this Liu Bei is extraordinary, in my opinion, this Liu Bei is afraid of the people's hardships, so he will act like this, and at the same time, he acts like this, but it has increased the hearts of many people who are angry with the enemy, and at the same time reduced a lot of trouble for us, once the situation changes, we should annihilate this lone army with absolute strength." Bai Qing said that Bai Qing still has a certain understanding of Liu Bei.
"Yes, through the smoke of Liu Bei's army in the past two days, it is not difficult to find that the total number of soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's camp at this time is only about 60,000, which is the number of troops that Liu Bei can use in our mastery of the Dao. Chi Xingmi said again.
In fact, although the entire coalition army joined forces to fight against Liu Bei, they did not win in a battle, not because their strength was weaker than Liu Bei, but because all of them had their own thoughts, and they were afraid that their own army would lose too much, and finally they would be strengthened by the fishermen, after all, before Liu Bei arrived in the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions were still in an era of chaotic war.
Qiuci State, Yanqi State and Gumo Kingdom are even more perennial united against Wusun, at this time the southern line of silk has been taken by Liu Bei in just one year, so the countries of the northern line have to unite against Liu Bei.
"Indeed, so dividing troops like Liu Bei is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, as long as we are sure that Liu Bei has no other tricks, we can get sick and take down his Leopard Tao Army." Although he had doubts about Liu Bei's division of troops, Long Zhan still agreed and said.
Since all the people had agreed, a large number of scouts were sent to inquire about the situation of Liu Bei's camp and whether there were ambushes around Xu Huang's Baotao army.
………………………………
After two consecutive days of day and night marching, Liu Bei finally arrived at the border between Shule and Dawan, and also saw the Dawan military camp opposite. The first order after encamping that night was to send an order to all the scouts, and not to let go of any civilians, scouts, or enemy troops in the vicinity. Temporarily block Dawan's news exchange with the coalition forces.
Early the next morning, when the sun slowly rose, there was an uproar in the Dawan military camp opposite, because they all knew that a camp tent of about 30,000 people had been erected on the opposite side overnight, and many soldiers were even more glad that they were fortunate that there was no night attack last night, otherwise they would not know how to die.
In fact, it was not that Liu Bei was not preparing for a night attack, but that they had just appeared at the border last night, and they met the scouts of the Dawan army.
In fact, fortunately, Liu Bei did not sneak attack, yesterday the entire Dawan military camp was actually sent outside and inside, since the Dawan generals learned that Liu Bei returned to the Western Regions, they have never relaxed their vigilance, all the soldiers are divided into two groups, one group rests during the day and stands guard at night, and one group is the opposite. Therefore, even if he is not discovered by the scouts, Liu Bei's sneak attack can win a big victory, but it is estimated that the losses will be quite heavy.
Since the formation was opened, Liu Bei led a group of generals and tigers and leopards to ride outside the camp, and the other party's Dawan army also walked out of the front of the formation in a uniform manner.
"The commander of the Han army on the other side is the capital of the Western Regions protecting Liu Bei?" As soon as the two sides met, the general of Dawan asked.
"Exactly, I don't know who you are, why Chen Bing and my Han Shule County border, do you want to try my Han sword?" As soon as Liu Bei came up, he asked with a strong attitude.
"Don't dare, in the Xia Dawan State General Huoda, this time Chen Bing Border does not want to have any dissent towards the Han Shule County, and my Dawan Country is also a subject country of the Han Dynasty, but I learned that Wusun, Qiuci and Yanqi and other countries have formed an alliance to be unfavorable to Shule County. Therefore, my Chen soldiers at the border are in case if Liu Du is invincible, so as to escort Liu Du to take refuge in my Dawan territory, and at the same time to prevent the alliance of various countries from attacking and harassing my Dawan country, and I also ask Liu Du to protect Mingjian. ”
After all, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the 200,000 army led by Li Guangli forced the victory of the Great Wan Kingdom, which really spread the belief that the Han Dynasty would be punished even if it was far away, and it also made generations of Western Regions people have a strong sense of the Han Dynasty deep into the bone marrow.
It's just that in the past few years, the Eastern Han Dynasty no longer has real control over the entire Western Regions, so the countries slowly began to want to dominate the Western Regions again.
"In that case, why can't you come to see Bendu Protector, and since Bendu Protector has arrived, let all the soldiers unload their armor and collect their troops, and you can lead all the soldiers back to Dawan, and Bendu Protector promises you that as long as Bendu protects the Western Regions for a day, you will not let the allied forces of all countries step into Dawan." Liu Bei replied that if he could retreat the Dawan army with one word, it would also be a good thing for the entire Western Regions.
However, he underestimated the awakening of Dawan Kingdom to this troubled water, although he wavered, but he was not willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Liu Bei has cleaned up all the southern fronts, as long as Liu Bei loses this battle, then there is no problem for Dawan to eat a Shule, and more importantly, Dawan has a population of 700,000, and it is no problem to use it properly to hold Dawan.
"Dadu Protector, please redeem the contemptible people and not withdraw the army, without the permission of the king, the contemptible people still need to be stationed at the border. And as long as most of them don't use troops against the contemptible people, the contemptible people will not send a single soldier. ”
Obviously, the two sides have already collapsed: "In that case, don't blame Bendu for being ruthless." After that, he motioned to Lu Bu.
After receiving Liu Bei's signal, Lu Bu rode his horse and walked outside the formation. "Lu Bu is also a certain state and state, who rushed to fight with me?"
Now that the talks between the two sides have collapsed, Huo Da knows that Liu Bei will definitely not give up without fighting the last battle, and at this moment he doesn't know how many men Liu Bei led this time, it was too dark last night, and the scouts only have an approximate number, about 20,000. So the current Huoda doesn't want to directly start a decisive battle with Liu Bei.
Seeing the battle of Lu Buyo, Huo Da's heart was also relieved, at least for the time being, there was no need for a decisive battle, and more importantly, there were three or four fierce generals under his command, if he could kill Liu Bei's generals in one battle, it would be a big blow to the morale of the other party.
Thinking of this, Huoda signaled to a military general with five major and three thick.
"General, the last general Li Ming is invited to fight." Without permission, he rode out of his camp.
"Pay attention to the three of you, once General Li is defeated, the three of you will rescue him as soon as possible, don't let the thief general take General Li's life." Hoda didn't say reassuringly.
