Chapter 65: The Battle of the Spike (4)

After a short time, the original dozen people finally developed into hundreds of people "chasing and killing", all the way to Zhao Xun of Taishou Mansion.

Seeing Zhao Xun, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) was panting like a cow:

"Zhao, General Zhao, you can be saved, hundreds of soldiers in the battalion are chasing and killing, and I am afraid that the camp in the south of the city will not be able to stay down."

"Hunting you down? Why did you hunt you down? Zhao Xun asked strangely.

"Hey, fishing outside the city before dark every night, I caught a capybara yesterday, the body is quite large, eat it like beef, and then divide most of it to other people, and leave a little to eat for myself, I never wanted to be found by the Xian army who entered the city, and today I came to me to spit meat."

Capybaras are about the same as dolphins and finless porpoises, but they are slightly smaller. All freshwater dolphins, dolphins, and whales are actually mammals. As long as it is a mammal, the meat quality is not the same as that of fish, and the taste is similar to that of beef, but it is somewhat poor.

Last night Tianhe fishing, inexplicably caught a capybara, a small person is more than tall, it is too big, and it is a lot. As a result, I don't know which bastard played right and wrong, and passed the fish into beef, and it did taste like beef, which attracted the chase just now.

Hearing this, Zhao Xun continued:

"In that case, explain to the people, won't you be able to calm down this time?"

"Hey, as I said, it's a catch of fishing, but they are scolding me at the mouth. This matter is not because of meat, but in fact it is still food. This reduction of 30% of the amount of meals per meal actually becomes two meals a day, not three. These soldiers were unwilling to fill the army, so they had to deduct food and straw, and they must not have enough to eat, which caused trouble.

In the long run, our army will not be able to hold on for long. ”

"Well, that's true. But at present, there is not much food, and if you don't reduce the amount of food, I am afraid that it will be difficult to spend two months, and it is also a helpless move. ”

Grain, a vital strategic material, cannot be made public, especially when there is a shortage of grain, and there is no follow-up supply, let alone the slightest bit of information.

If you have enough to eat every day, and you have a year of hoarding food and a steady stream of supplies, it doesn't matter if you make it public. But the most fatal thing is that there is no food at the moment, but it can't be said, let alone that the supply is also interrupted, which is the most fatal.

Because of his fast legs, after rushing to the Taishou Mansion, the hundreds of people who chased and killed him arrived before they arrived, but they were dispersed by the guards of the Commander Yao Sheng.

Dispersed the gathered soldiers, Yao Sheng came to reply:

"General Zhao, the troublemakers have been dispersed. It's just that the impact is difficult to eliminate, especially the matter of putting food, which has already made the battalions quite dissatisfied, and it is feared that something will happen in the long run. ”

"This matter is being discussed with the colonel, but at the moment there is no choice but to reduce the amount of food. You step back first, and Rong Ben will think about it again. ”

"No!"

After Yao Sheng retreated, Zhao Xun and Baili Yan said:

"The matter of grain and straw is related to the whole army, there is no military supply at the moment, and there is no food to collect, this general intends to rob the Jin army of grain and grass again, what do you think."

"I'm afraid it's hard to achieve. The grain roads of the Jin army are all near Duyang, and if this Duyang is not taken, there will be no food to rob. Unless there is only a siege of the city, there is food when the fat city is laid. Otherwise, as far as the eye can see, there is no food in the Xianguo region, where will the general rob the grain. ”

Zhao Xun still wants to rob the grain, but the problem is that there is no grain for you to occupy now, even if there is, Han He has suffered a loss, will he suffer a second loss?

The grain robbery ended in vain, and the whole city was filled with anxiety and uneasiness for the next two days, and Bailiyan did not dare to return to Nanying, so he could only live in the grass hut outside the Taishou Mansion, because the Taishou Mansion was too broken, and it had been stuffed into several metropolitan governors and governors, and how could he have a place for the school soldiers.

Just when Baili Yan was exhausted and had no meal, Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, led an army of 80,000 out of the primeval forest and went straight to Duyang City.

At this time, Han He's 110,000 army had already waited for the 80,000 army of Dingyang Hou to be killed.

"Hacking ears" is a plain west of Duyang City, because the yield of rice per mu in this place is half higher than that of other fertile fields, and there are more ears of rice, so there is a terrifying yield to say this, and the name of Hacking Ears also comes from this.

Han He camped here, only because this place is the only place to go east to Duyang, and other places are either hills or swampy forests, only this big road can be walked. It is also conducive to cavalry maneuvering.

In the big tent of the Han Hezhong Army, Han Hezheng and Ji Chang explained the military aircraft:

"His Royal Highness, after the main force of the Xian army is surrounded by our army, you will lead 10,000 cavalry to ambush between Yin Yangcheng and Feicheng, and when you see the reinforcements in Yin Yangcheng, you will immediately rob and kill them halfway."

"Why don't you go to relieve the siege of Feicheng first, but rob and kill Yin Yangcheng's reinforcements?"

"Yin Yangcheng has 30,000 defenders, and there are 40,000 Xian troops under Feicheng, if the main force of Dingyang Hou is not annihilated, the soldiers besieging Feicheng will definitely come to the rescue. However, the troops of Feicheng were not enough to come to relieve the siege, so it was inevitable to transfer the defenders of Yin Yangcheng, so the defenders of Yin Yangcheng had to come out.

In this way, our army can rob and kill the defenders of Yin Yangcheng halfway, and then seize Yin Yangcheng, cutting off the food and grass of the Xian army, so that the Xian army can not continue. At this time, the Xian army besieging Feicheng had no food and grass, and it was impossible to rush to the aid of Dingyang Hou, so they must first capture Yin Yangcheng.

The old man annihilated the main force of the Xian army in the land of the terrible ears, and then waved his army westward and followed the Xian army to destroy it. In this way, our army can easily divide the Xian army into three and annihilate it. ”

"General Han's plan is really clever. That being the case, when will our army fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Xian army. ”

"Don't worry, the Xian army still has more than ten miles to go, our army can wait for work, order the cavalry to outflank the two wings, kill for a while, and then besiege, wait for the main force of the Xian army to run out of food and grass, and then kill for a while. In this way, the spirit of the Xian army can be dissipated and it will collapse itself. ”

At the same time that Han He made a plan, Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, led his army less than fifteen miles away from Han He, and he did not notice that his left and right flanks were being surrounded by the 50,000 cavalry of the Jin army.

Urging the horse to a hillside, the Marquis of Ding Yang stopped to look, and then asked the right governor behind him:

"Where lies ahead?"

"Back to the general, the front is terrifying, and there is still a day's journey from Du Yang."

"Will our troops be able to arrive before it gets dark tonight?"

"At the current pace of marching, it will still take two hours, and it is necessary to march quickly."

"That being the case, pass on my military order, and the army will speed up, and be sure to camp in Horror before dark."

"No!"

At the sound of an order, the Xianjun army accelerated its pace and approached the terrifying sui.

Don't look at the fact that there are only a dozen miles of land, if only one battalion or one regiment of people rushes across the country, it will be a matter of tens of minutes and an hour. But if a large army of 100,000 people were to move together, it would be much slower, because no one could guarantee that 100,000 people would act in coordination as one person.

At the same time that the Marquis of Ding Yang led the army to attack all the way, 25,000 Jin cavalry in the north and south of the Xian army were ready to go, and tens of thousands of soldiers outside the Han He camp were lined up neatly, waiting for the arrival of the Xian army.

Almost at the same time, the scouts who were exploring the way in front of the Xian army were also surprised to find that the Jin army actually ran ahead of the Xian army.

"Report ...... Report ......" Scout Pegasus urgently reported: "Report to the general, the Jin army has been found in the three miles ahead!" ”

"The army of the Jin Kingdom!" Ding Yanghou was shocked: "How many men and horses, who is in charge of the army!" ”

"General Qiqi, the banner of the Jin army is the Jin general Han He, and the people in front of the battle are less than three or five people."

"Only if it's 30,000 or 50,000!"

"Fifty thousand!"

The scout affirmed, which made Ding Yanghou breathe a sigh of relief:

"Han He, Han He, I'm worried that I can't find you, but today you asked for it! General Chuan Ben ordered the whole army to stop advancing and prepare for formation! ”

At this time, the right governor on the side said:

"General Zhang Jun, Han He arrived before our army, he must have come prepared for his work, our army should go down to the village as soon as possible, let the army breathe and repair, and fight again tomorrow!"

"This is reasonable, send an order to the whole army, go to the underground village, and fight again tomorrow!"

"No!"

Zhang Jun ordered the Xian army to go down to the village three miles away from the Li Jin army, and prepared to repair and fight again for one night.

It is said that Han He is waiting for work, shouldn't he take advantage of the passage of the Xian army to suddenly kill, and now the infantry is lined up to show the Xian army, and it is not clear that the Xian army is prepared?

In fact, otherwise, the march of the Xian army must be front, middle and rear, covered by large vehicles on both sides, and there are scout activities within a range of two miles, it is easy to find that the cavalry of the Jin army is preparing to charge, and the Xian army also has enough time to adjust from the marching state to the defensive state relying on the large carts.

Therefore, at this time, the cavalry suddenly rushed, the Xian army may use the carts on both sides as a barrier, with a large shield, a spear, a hook and sickle as a defensive measure, a bow and arrow, a strong crossbow and arrows, in order to block the cavalry, when the cavalry rushed to kill the cart, can not pass the cart, at this time the infantry will use spears and hooks and sickles to cut the horse's legs to assassinate the cavalry, the cavalry will be difficult to hit the Xian army.

But if the Xian army enters a state of encampment, that is, from a column, to an irregular disorder, at this time, the Xian army will inevitably arrange for the defense troops in the east, south, west, and north directions to be on guard, and Han He will take advantage of this moment to pounce on 50,000 cavalry in one go, killing the Xian army by surprise.

This is the purpose of Han He to give up his concealed posture and set up a position for Ding Yang Hou to discover, Ding Yang Hou obviously also knew that the Xian army had been attacking for a day, and if Han He's fifty or sixty thousand people were attacked at this time, they might not be able to take advantage, so they could only camp. And if the Marquis of Ding Yang did not change the state of the march, it would be difficult for the cavalry of the Jin army to suffer heavy losses with one blow.

As a result, after the Marquis of Ding Yang ordered to set up camp, all the troops began to slack, thinking that there would be no war tonight, so they began to camp in a chaotic manner, and Zhang Jun, Marquis of Ding Yang, mobilized the infantry to defend in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, especially in the direction of the Han He army in the east, but as everyone knows, the boundary of four or five miles from north to south is already the world of the cavalry of the Jin army.
