On 15 May, Guan Yi and Jiang Wei's troops marched to Jincheng County in Jincheng County.

This place will be famous in later generations, Lanzhou. And now, his position is more awkward, to the south of it, is the five counties of Longxi, where 10,000 Han troops are stationed. In the northwest of it, is the horse farm of Dahan, Xiping County. There are Ma Jie led heavy troops to guard. In this middle ground, it belongs to the weakest place of the Han Dynasty. However, there is also the Yellow River passing through the city, and the land on both sides of the bank is suitable for agriculture and grazing. Therefore, this is also a place where there are often conflicts and contradictions between the farming Han people and the nomadic aliens.

Before Ji Han took control of this place, he wanted to attract the alien races grazing in this area to help him attack the other party. Whether it is Cao Wei or Shu Han, they are very gentle to the aliens here. It is often Hermes-Epitek who suffers. And now, the position has dropped: Ji Han's attitude towards the alien race is far less friendly than before. The Hanmes-Epitek here finally straightened their waists completely.

"Huh~~ It's getting late, let's camp here today. Zifeng, the old man has brought all the pots to you, you have to continue cooking tonight! ”

"Hey~~ General, you stinky and shameless, did you carry the pot yourself?"

The jokes of the old and the young actually revolve around three fresh things: rapeseed oil, iron pot, and stir-frying.

Li Mi and others collected about one stone of rapeseed in the Roman Empire. After bringing them back to the Han region, Guan Yi planted them all in the Hanzhong Basin. When Guan Yi and their patrol arrived in Hanzhong, it was the rapeseed harvest season. So Guan Yi's index finger moved, and instructed the blacksmith in Hanzhong to hit an iron pot overnight. After that, I cooked by myself and made a table of stir-fried dishes with freshly squeezed vegetable oil.

There is no rape flower in Dahan, and the previous edible oil, on the one hand, was animal fat such as pigs and cattle. There is also soybean oil, sesame oil, etc. There is no doubt that the taste of these oils is a bit weird compared to canola oil, and they are not suitable for stir-frying. So at least in this day and age, wok and stir-fry are not available. Therefore, when Guan Yi brought out this table of stir-fried dishes, several bigwigs who accompanied him almost bit off their tongues.

"Hey, Zifeng, this rapeseed alone can play such a big role. The old man is looking forward to how much of a role the other good breeds they brought back can play. ”

"Hehehe, general, after returning to Chang'an, call your cook, can I teach it myself?"

"That's what you said, good, that's it."

The two of them were talking and laughing, and suddenly they both frowned at the same time: there was a slight vibration on the ground.

"Coming?"

"Well, it should be here."

"Good!"

This part of Jincheng County is located in a non-border area for a long time, and nomadic and agricultural farming are mixed. So the walls here have long been rotten to the point of not being in shape. Guan Yi's team was not stationed in the county seat that night. Instead, they camped on a mound outside the city.

Because this team has the reasons of the Romans, the camp of the Han army is a little different this time.

In the Roman military system, where the army was expected to stop for a certain amount of time, it was necessary to set up camp. The first task of setting up camp was to dig trenches and fence themselves off. When the Roman mission arrived in Chang'an, and the Roman soldiers exchanged with the Han soldiers, the generals of the Han army quickly accepted this rule and quickly implemented it throughout the army. Therefore, in the Han army camp that night, the tents may not have been set up, but the trenches around the camp were all dug.

Then, the bald Xianbei and Nan Anqiang of this raid were tragic.

In this raid team, 3,000 people came out of the bald department, and 2,000 people came out of Nananqiang. The cavalry team of a whole 5,000 people did not shout at all after approaching the camp of the Guan Yi army, and directly launched a surprise attack. And Guan Yijun didn't ask any questions here, and directly served with all kinds of bows and arrows!

In the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, the mournful roars of people or horses sounded continuously. At the beginning, Ruo Luoba and Yao Pingtong, who led the team, didn't care: How can there be immortals in the war. As long as you rush in, everything is easy to say!

But after a little more than a quarter of an hour of such a battle, the two commanders felt that something was wrong: this was a makeshift camp set up by the other side for the night. Why is it that the big army is still on the periphery for so long?

"Ruo Luoba, the camp of the Han people is strange!"

"What's going on?"

"There was a trench outside their camp, not too deep, but very wide. Our war horses can't jump! After stepping into the trench, there were many small pits in it, and most of the horses had broken their feet. And then our fighters were all trapped in it! ”

After a brief silence for "......", Robert pulled fiercely at the herald's shirt: "I don't care so much!" This is a battle that has cost the lives of all 100,000 people of our tribe! If we can't take down everyone's heads here, then everyone in our tribe will take their heads! Go, make it clear to the person in front, don't go back! In addition to being personally beheaded by me, I will kill all his children and sell all his wives and concubines and relatives into slavery when I return to the tribe! ”

"Rush! Rush! Rush! No matter how many casualties there are, keep on impacting! Take dead men and dead horses and fill me in the pits. If it's not enough, fill it with a living person! On the other side, in the Qiang army, Yao Pingtong was also like a madman: "If we don't win this battle, our Nan'an Qiang will be extinct!" My warriors, for the sake of the reproduction of our tribe, we must go forward! ”

As large tribes with two tribes of about 100,000, both Bald Xianbei and Nan'anqiang were able to mobilize more than 10,000 cavalry. This time, in order not to attract the attention of the local governments of Jihan, the scale was deliberately reduced. Then the soldiers brought out this time are, of course, the best of the best: outstanding combat power, loyalty and bravery. Therefore, although there were many casualties due to this trench, under the strong suppression of the commanders of both sides, the soldiers of the two clans still charged bravely without fear of death.

Several sections of the shallow trenches were soon filled, and more and more cavalry from both clans began to concentrate on these filled areas. It is inevitable that the camp will be broken by the other party.

"Glory to Rome!"

In this dark and chaotic night, a team of 100 people dressed in striped armor and wearing long helmets began to line up. On the other side of them, the pikemen of the Han army began to line up silently.

"Is the torch tower ready?"

"Da Sima, it's been built."

"Good, then let's light the fire!"

Following Guan Yi's orders, a Han soldier raised a torch and climbed a rudimentary tower that had been improvised and turned the torch inward.

"The Han people lit a fire and asked for help! Hurry up, hurry up! Speed up! Be sure to take this place tonight! Otherwise, if the Longxi Legion or the Xiping Legion arrives, our army will be finished! ”

"Heh~~ These idiots, they thought I was igniting a fire for help." Contemptuously tugged at the corners of his mouth at the alien cavalry who were whistling in chaos on the periphery: "General, please point out the direction for Yi." ”

"Hehehe, Zifeng, the old man has already seen the weakness of the enemy army and the place where the commander was issued. But this matter of leading the army to counterattack, it is better for the old man to come in person. ”

"General!"

Zifeng doesn't need to say much. If there is no Jiang Wei in this country, it will be a little more difficult to fight, but it will still dominate the world after all. If there is no Zifeng, then even survival is a problem. ”

After saying this, Jiang Wei turned over his horse and quickly ran to the front of a pair of cavalry.

This cavalry numbered about 200 people, including about 50 horsemen, and the horses under their crotch were obviously much higher than the other cavalry. Not only that, but the fifty or so horses, along with the knights on their backs, were all dressed in armor.

Jiang Wei came to the head of the team and bowed to the two hundred knights.

"I'll follow the general to the death!"

"Ahuramazda!"

After the wordless mobilization, Jiang Wei twisted the horse's head, pointed the tip of the gun in one direction, and the surrounding infantry quickly set up thick planks on the trench. Then Jiang Wei led more than two hundred cavalry to rush out at a gallop.

For a non-military professional traverser like Guan Yi, fighting a war is to do a good job in logistics equipment, then storm troops, and then crush the strength. Such a form of war does not have the beauty of art at all.

For a commander like Jiang Wei, who has only tens of thousands of people for a long time, and often has to deal with several times or more than a dozen times the enemy. The former enemy commander must have superb artistry, otherwise the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.

Therefore, in this dark night, all Guan Yi can do is to organize the infantry and rely on the camp tent to do a good defense. However, Jiang Wei was able to discover the weakest point of the enemy's defense and the location of the enemy's commander from the chaos of the surrounding dark shadows!

As for the towers of fire that were hastily erected and lit? That's not for help!
