Chapter 39: The Erosive Situation

Yao Jie of Youbeiping County and Gongsun Zan of Guangyang County both defeated the Wuhuan people, but the other two counties were miserable, Yuyang County was guarded by Liu Yu's army, although it was not the opponent of the Wuhuan people, but it would not suffer too much defeat.

But Shanggu County is miserable, and Zhang Pingzhong's usual governance of the place is quite decent, and it would be a little embarrassing to let him command the military.

Shanggu County Zhifuyang (near Xiaonanxinbao, Huailai, Hebei Province, with a population of 510,000).

Ling8 counties, Fuyang, Juyong, Zhuolu, Panxian, Jie, Xuan, Xialuo, Guangning, Ningxian.

Shanggu County under the governance of Taishou Zhang Pingzhong does not say how prosperous it is, but it is definitely not backward, in the original history, Guanghe five years, that is, this year, he Taishou will be replaced, and Zhang Pingzhong has also successfully retired, but now with Yao Jie, the little butterfly, everything is different, Zhang Pingzhong, who was about to be transferred to another place, did not wait for the holy decree, and waited for the news of the entry of more than 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

Zhang Pingzhong has no ambition and is not much interested in developing the military, so he has less than 20,000 county soldiers under his command, and these county soldiers are only in the early 10,000s in Fuyang, except for the thousands of people stationed in the counties, and the military discipline is loose, the equipment is shabby, there is no problem in fighting bandits and bullying the common people in peacetime, and even in the future, they can fight the Yellow Turban Army, but it will be difficult for them to fight against the fierce Wuhuan cavalry.

"How's it going?" Zhang Pingzhong asked Captain Xu Kuandao.

"Lord Taishou, the Wuhuan people have already broken through the three counties of Zhulu, Xialuo, and Panxian, and are storming Juyong County. These counties are only guarded by hundreds of county soldiers, and they can't stop the attack of the Wuhuan people at all, and the county commander of Juyong County is nowhere to be found, and now Wei Feng and Wei Dingguo, the county lieutenant of Juyong County, are presiding over the overall situation, recruiting the people to resist bravely, and the lower officials implore the adults to leave the army to rescue. After Xu Kuan finished speaking, he bowed to Zhang Pingzhong and asked for his life.

"Fuyang's strength is also very limited, so let's take 3,000 people to rescue Juyong, save if you can, and if you can't do anything, you will immediately withdraw to Fuyang." Zhang Pingzhong thought twice, rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"Oh, the lower officials thanked the adults for the mediocre people." The main reason why Xu Kuan is so interested is that he is a native of Juyong County, which is his hometown, plus the county lieutenant Wei Feng and he are also friends, he naturally does not want to see Juyong have an accident, and he hates Yan Fan, the Juyong county commander who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, originally Wei Feng was going to be promoted to the county order, but he was parachuted into a Yan Fan, this Yan Fan's ability is not good, but he is good at sneaking whiskers and shooting horses, plus the relationship with the fourth and third princes Yuan, so he squeezed Wei Feng out and became the county commander.

After Yan Fan became the county commander, not only did he not govern the place well, but exploited the people even more, plus Wei Feng was his former competitor, Yan Fan naturally would not let him go generously, but continued to suppress him, fortunately, Wei Feng's reputation in Juyong was extremely high, and there was no big mistake, so Yan Fan had no way to deal with him directly.

This time Yan Fan ran away directly with hundreds of county soldiers under his command, of course, the main thing is that these hundreds of people are not locals, otherwise it is estimated that they will not be willing to flee without a fight and give their hometown to the enemy, fortunately, Wei Feng is usually strict with the county soldiers under his command, so the three hundred people under him are still very combative, so they can block the attack of the Wuhuan people, and then with Wei Feng's previous prestige, he recruited 20,000 people to help defend the city.

But the Wuhuan people are not stupid, after conquering the three counties, although the Wuhuan people burned and looted in these three places, they did all kinds of evil, but they also captured a lot of craftsmen, the Wuhuan commander of Shanggu County is Qiu Lishi, and Qiu Liyan is the same as Qiu Liju, is Qiu Liju's subordinate, this trip to Shanggu County is almost to brush up experience, and when the main force of the Han army arrives, Qiu Liju will naturally not be dividing the troops, and will definitely assemble to fight a decisive battle with the Han army at that time.

And Shanggu County has no Yao Jie, no Gongsun Zhan, too shou Zhang Pingzhong is not familiar with military affairs, there are no capable people in the county, and the armament is relaxed, it is definitely an excellent place to brush up on experience.

Sure enough, under the command of Chulis, the four county towns of Shanggu County were plundered by a large number of grain, grass, money and people.

Qiu Lishi was also very smart, he arrested the Han craftsmen in those three counties and forced them to build siege equipment, although it was a relatively simple ladder and a rushing car, but it was better than nothing.

In addition to these, Qiu Liyan also captured thousands of armor and various weapons, with these equipment, the casualties of the Wuhuan people were greatly reduced, under the command of Qiu Lishi, the Wuhuan people dismounted as infantry to attack the city, if it were not for the command of Wei Feng and the three hundred elite guards in Juyong County, I am afraid that it would have been captured by the Wuhuan people long ago.

"Report to Lord Qiu Lishi, an army appeared in the southwest of Juyong County, and it is still sixty miles away from Juyong County." This army is naturally the three thousand county soldiers led by Xu Kuan, Fuyang is in the southwest of Fuyang, so Xu Kuan and others naturally came from the southwest, these county soldiers only have dozens of cavalry as scouts, in the face of the scouts of the Wuhuan people, Xu Kuan is also very helpless, just these dozens of people, it is very dangerous to expel the Wuhuan scouts, if the Wuhuan people gather a few scout teams, they can completely eat these dozens of Han cavalry.

"How many of them there were, how many cavalry there were." Churis asked.

"The Han army has about 3,000 people, and the cavalry is only a few dozen, which is negligible." The scout replied.

"Hahaha, are these Han soldiers here to send them to death?" One of Chulis' ten thousand commanders, Hacha, laughed, and the others laughed as well.

Hacha is Happi's cousin, Happi used to act with Zhang Chun, and finally died in the chaos, Hacha has always hated Gongsun Zan and Yao Jie and Liu Yu, but his level is not enough, this captain was temporarily promoted before the battle, so he couldn't decide which army he should go to, so Hacha decided to take revenge on those Han people in Shanggu County.

The three counties that were captured by Wuhuan have become hell on earth, and the most evil among them are Hacha's men.

"Hacha, don't be careless, these Han troops are no threat to us outside the city, but once they enter the city, they will still bring us a lot of trouble, this Juyong County we have attacked for seven days, more than 3,000 Wuhuan warriors fell under the city, and most of the Han army are farmers who have just put down their hoes." Qiu Lishi's words are true, after the bad news of the three counties, the people of Juyong County have broken out the courage to defend their hometown, and no one wants their families to follow in the footsteps of the three counties, so a miracle appeared, more than 20,000 people bravely guarded for seven days, killed and injured 5,000 Wuhuan people, and the people of Juyong County also suffered 5,000 casualties, of course, mainly because the Wuhuan people were originally cavalry, not good at siege, even if there are siege equipment.

Now there are more people in Juyong County, there are 80,000 people in Juyong County, after so many days of defense battles, more and more people began to participate in the defense of the city, all the young people who can take up arms have participated in the people's bravery, which also led to the fact that although Juyong County fought hard for seven days, but the number of people has not decreased but increased, even ordinary women have participated, although they do not go to the city to participate in the war, but they have demolished many houses in the city to make simple arrows and radium wood, to help take care of the wounded, etc.

"Hacha, gather your troops, we will go and destroy this Han army, and the others will continue to attack the city." Churis ordered.

"Yes." The Wuhuan generals replied.
