Chapter 443: The Battle of the Merge States (4)

"Report ~ The king, the young master, the king ordered his subordinates to report urgently, yesterday morning, the Shu thief suddenly appeared in front of our army. Looking at its ranks, there are at least 10,000 people! ”

"Huh? How could it be so sudden, thou shalt tell me in detail! ”

……

"Yuan Kai, the current situation ...... How should our military respond? ”

"This ......"

Sima Gui asked Du Pre, and Du Pre didn't know what to do.

Now under the rest of the city, due to the high-intensity siege of the city for nearly half a month, the Jin army under the command of Du Pre-commander is the weakest time. So far, the number of dead in the army has exceeded 20,000, and the number of light and serious wounded has also reached more than 25,000. After deducting the 30,000 people of Wang Jun's detachment, only 60,000 troops were left in Du Zhen's hands that could be quickly mobilized.

"Have you made contact with Jing Yang's reinforcements? How long will it take them to get here? ”

"Back to the young master, the messenger sent by Jing Yangjun yesterday reported that they are still about one hundred and twenty miles away from Jiexiu."

"It's too late, send scouts, go south immediately, and tell Uncle Yang and Wei Boyu, who are in charge of the army, not to go north. Let them immediately gather and stop on the Mianshang to reorganize the defense line left by the King of Taiyuan and the King Envoy! ”

The herald hesitated for a moment, and a voice above his head roared: "What are you doing in a daze? The words of the young master are the meaning of this king. ”

"No!"

Looking at the herald who left in a hurry, Sima Gui was already sweating slightly on the top of his head: "Young master, this is going to be ......"

"Hey, the fighter plane is missing." Looking up at the sky, Du Yu was very unwilling to say: "The weather is about to get warmer." When the time comes, the city wall of Jiexiu will collapse without us attacking itself, but it will be so many days...... Oh, my lord, what Xia Guan means is that now our army is tired of veterans under the city, and Guan Zifeng is said to have taken 70,000 people to Pingzhou at that time. Even if there is a loss in the past month or so, there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 people. Plus the tens of thousands of people in this Jiexiu city. Our army is not superior in strength at the moment. Therefore, the plan of the lower officials was that the whole army would slowly retreat south first, and after a certain distance from Jiexiu County, the wounded troops would go directly south to gather in Mianshang. Our main force turned to the northwest to meet Wang Shizhi's retreat. ”

"Well, that's it."

Due to the excessive number of wounded, Du had to consider the problem of the wounded soldiers first: now that the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is tight, every veteran who has been on the battlefield is a valuable asset, and Du Shaofu will not give it up easily. Besides, this is a defensive war fought on the territory of your own country, and you dare to ignore the wounded soldiers? Aren't you afraid that the whole army will collapse at a critical moment later?

He first led his army to retreat south, and then Wang Jun became uncomfortable.

On the morning of 15 January, more than 20,000 Guan Yi forwards arrived at Wang Jun's Dazhai near Zhaoyuze.

On the night of the 16th, all the follow-up troops of the Han army arrived, and the strength of the Guan Yi team recovered to 40,000.

In the early morning of the 17th, the Han army, which had completed the construction of siege equipment, began to launch a full-scale attack on the Jin army's Dazhai.

In the past two days, Wang Jun has not done nothing. But the crux of the matter is that since Guan Yi's team arrived here, he has become blind and deaf: the scouts of his team can't go far, and the heralds outside can't get in. Therefore, the only thing he could do was to urge his soldiers to step up the reinforcement of the camp.

However, in the hands of the Jin army without cement, it is really not as good as an ordinary city wall!

In the early morning of the 17th, with the order of Jiang Su, the former enemy commander of the Han army, dozens of trebuchets were launched in unison, and the stone bullets soaked in fire oil and ignited pulled out dozens of magnificent smoke bands in the clear sky of late winter.

The huge roar shook the ground in front of the entire Jin army camp. This unit with a high rate of recruits caused great panic. After the second round of stone bombs landed, the entire Jin army camp suddenly "buzzed" and bombed the camp!

"Don't panic, don't mess around! What about our army's trebuchets? Fight back! ”

"The trebuchet returns fire, and the others find a place to hide!"

Officers at all levels looked at the recruits who were holding their heads everywhere in the battalion, and greeted them hoarsely. There was also a military law team under the personal command of Wang Jun began to assemble rapidly.

"They all go to the rear camp and take control of the ships there, and they want to board the ships without the military orders written by their own officials. Treat it as a deserter and kill it! ”

"No!"

Yes, it is close to Zhaoyuze Xiazhai, which is usually very convenient for the exchange of materials and information. But in wartime, it became a hidden danger: Zhao Yuze crisscrossed dozens of miles, as long as he boarded the ship in Houzhai and hid in the water, wouldn't this war be over? There is a way out, and for an army that is not very centripetal, the impact is simply fatal!

Many recruits are not very good at fighting, but their heads are very lively. This was thought of shortly after the Han army's trebuchet wielded its might. If Wang Jun hadn't thought of this quickly, and sent a military law team in time, he couldn't say that this army would have collapsed.

"Huh? Why is the Jin army's counterattack so scattered? ”

Jiang Su, who was commanding at the front of the Han army, carefully watched the reaction of the other side for a while. The originally slightly nervous expression slowly relaxed: "It seems that there are a lot of recruits in the enemy army, and the camp is full of running figures and various shouts, but the counterattack is very disorderly." ”

After saying this sentence to himself, he pulled the corners of his mouth like Guan Yi: "Trebuchet, move forward thirty steps and shoot!" Spearmen, follow up! ”

With Jiang Su's order, the trebuchets of the Han army began to move forward slowly. And the stone bullets they projected naturally began to extend towards the interior of the Jin army.

"Those who dare to go further, this is your example!"

The camp of 30,000 people is not small, and what happened in the front village of the army at this time Wang Jun is not very clear. Because at this time, he was riding on his own warhorse, holding a human head with a hideous face, and was shouting viciously in the back village: "Captains at all levels, military marquis, and Qu commanders, immediately count the people and horses in the headquarters." Based on the song, there is a song and people will go to the front village. Behind this official is the death line, and those who dare to cross a step will be killed! ”

Under the vigorous pressure of Wang Jun as a state assassin, under the organization of former veterans and low-level officers in this army. The army, which had been in a mess at the sound of trebuchets just now, had finally regained a little order at this time. Organized whole teams began.

He was in the rear to form a team, and Pang Ding of the front army was not idle. Watching the Han army's trebuchets and spearmen approaching step by step, and then looking at the Guanzi banner flying high in the distance, Pang Ding gritted his teeth and grabbed his captain: "How about I wait for Pang Ding on weekdays?" ”

The man who was pulled over was also not ambiguous: "The general treats me and others, no matter what food, consumption, or even women, there is no shortage of them!" Does the general want me to sacrifice my life to charge today? ”

"That's right, now the trebuchets of the Shu thieves outside the tent are approaching step by step, there are too many recruits in our army, if there is no break, I am afraid that the Shu thieves will rush in, and our army will not be able to organize......"

"My subordinates understood." After saying this, the man turned around: "Brothers of the Pang family! Let's all come here! ”

"Good, I will want you to charge, but I won't be left behind alone." After saying this, Pang Ding pulled a war horse nearby and quickly turned over on the horse. Then the big knife moved: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

"Huh~~~!"

"Trebuchet, thirty steps forward, extend the ...... Not? The enemy's cavalry actually rushed out? Spearmen, come forward to cover, crossbowmen, shoot at close range! ”

Jiang Su's order was given quickly, but the execution of the Han army went wrong: the trebuchet was so large that it required a certain amount of space to change from the firing state to the forward state. Therefore, at this time, the spearmen of the Han army were at a certain distance from the trebuchet.

There is a distance, but it is not far, only a few tens of meters. After receiving Jiang Su's order, the spearmen in the rear and the crossbowmen in the back quickly ran.

However, in this lightning and flint, Pang Ding had already led his cavalry to fly over the distance of several hundred meters, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and rushed to the front of the Han army's trebuchet convoy.

In a burst of screams, the soldiers of the Han army who controlled the trebuchet were killed and injured by Pang Ding and others. But Ponte's damage to the trebuchet is only one round. Because soon, countless spearheads stabbed at the brave knights.

"Retreat! The whole army retreats! ”

The hand-to-hand contact between the two sides was actually only a few breaths of time, but it was such a short time that the trebuchets of the Han army had to stop moving. After this free period, the officers in the Jin army camp finally stopped the restlessness of the recruits under the coaxing and killing.

After Wang Jun hurriedly ran from the back village to the front village, he saw that the antlers and fences of the front village had all been destroyed. Only reluctantly gave the order: "The whole army lined up, went out of the village, and engaged the enemy army!" ”
