Chapter 22, Thunder
Ma Qiu held a long knife in his hand, rushed to kill before the troops, and just ran into Chen An head-on.
As soon as the two sides met, they came to the conclusion that this is the enemy's general according to each other's attire and expressions! Although it is an old habit that is gradually dying out before the battle, it is still a general practice to fight against generals and soldiers, but it is no longer stipulated that there must be one-on-one, and there can be no helpers.
Therefore, the two generals immediately rushed head-on, and to see how they were approaching, Chen An first slashed and speared, and at the same time covered the top and pressed down. Ma Qiu didn't have a mount, how could he go over the mountain on horseback, so he had to lift the long knife with his right hand, open his left hand, hold the back of the knife, face the enemy's weapon, and slam it upward.
With a "bang", the blades intersected, and the arms of both sides were numb, secretly frightened.
Chen Anjiu has been in Longshang for many years, and he has rarely met opponents In theory, only Zhen Sui has defeated him seriously, but he didn't expect to meet this general today, he has such a strong strength, and he is almost not under Zhen Sui! As for Ma Qiu, he was even more surprised, his height was naturally strong, and he didn't expect that this little man on the back of the opposite horse could have such strong strength......
This is unscientific!
The two of them had three blades, and as soon as they exchanged words, Chen An's mount under his crotch instinctively tilted his head and rushed past Ma Qiu's right side. Ma Qiu twisted his waist, turned around instantly, and slashed at Chen An's waist and crotch, Chen An reversed the spearhead, lifted it sideways, and made a move in the future.
Ma Qiu recognized that this was the general of the Jin army, and immediately chased after him, shouting in his mouth: "Don't go, first pass the name of Taiyuan Ma Qiu is also!" β
Chen Anxin said who is this, I haven't heard of it...... He took advantage of the galloping momentum of his war horse, and between the rise and fall of the long knife in his left hand, he had already slashed over two pawns, and then turned the spear pocket of his right hand forward, and stabbed another person. When the spear rose again, it was obvious that there was a member in front of him, and of course it was Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan has been in battle for a long time and has more experience than Ma Qiu, so he did not rush ahead of the team, but was in the middle position, one is convenient for commanding and mobilizing troops, and the other is slightly higher safety factor. Who would have thought that Chen An would rush his horse and cross Ma Qiu smoothly, and then kill three Zhao pawns in a row, and almost rush to his eyes...... Chen Chuan was taken aback, and hurriedly raised the spear to fight, but because of his weak strength, he couldn't open the spear, and saw that the blood-stained spearhead went straight to his own door!
Fortunately, Chen Chuan's experience in polemics and battles is also quite rich, plus he is on foot, and there is no horse under his crotch, so he hurriedly shortened his body when he saw this, and squatted directly on the ground. Chen An's spear slashed over his head and flew directly into the helmet.
However, at this time, because of the obstruction of Zhao Bing, Chen An's horse galloping momentum had also exhausted, and it stopped in front of Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan was so frightened: Why didn't you rush over? Why stop? Is it necessary to take my life?! Lying on the ground, he rolled on the spot, and awkwardly avoided the long knife that fell quickly.
Chen An missed the two blows, his legs hurriedly knocked the horse's belly, made a small circle, and turned around. This is because Ma Qiu has been chased, and the second is because he has rushed too fiercely, and there are no subordinates around him to cover him, so he is deep in the enemy formation, and it is too dangerous for the general who rolls and escapes, count your fate, and wait for me to kill the big man Ma Qiu first, and then it is not too late to take your head!
As soon as he dialed the horse, Ma Qiu came to the front. Chen An slammed the horse's belly hard, and directly hit Ma Qiu. Ma Qiu raised his knife to cut the horse's head, but Chen An used his sword and spear together, and hurriedly swept the enemy's weapon away.
Just listening to the sound of "bang", the forehead of this Qinzhou horse hit Ma Qiu's chin, almost breaking his teeth. Ma Qiu felt dizzy, and then the war horse rose up, hit his chest, and directly kicked the huge man out.
I saw Ma Qiu fall out with his head upside down, and then rolled on the ground with his body, and stood up again, although his eyes were a little dazed, and the knife that could not escape from the slight concussion was still in his hand, and he could stand steadily. Chen Anxin said that it was a pity, the war horse had not been able to speed up, otherwise it would have been possible to knock the other party into a half-crippled ...... It's a pity that this guy is also quite good at rolling, otherwise if the horse's hooves fall again, there will be a chance to abolish one of his arms or legs.
The Zhao generals I met today, have they all learned the skills of rolling and climbing in advance?
Not to mention that Chen Chuan fled in a hurry and Ma Qiu was hit, which naturally had a certain negative impact on the psychology of the soldiers, and at the same time, the three hundred cavalry under Chen An's department were also killed one after another, and the Zhao soldiers were forced to hurriedly form a formation to resist, and did not dare to fight again. After all, on the plain, it is better to ride than to walk, if the formation is scattered, and the cavalry is repeatedly interspersed and divided, then there is no way to live at all, and you can't even run!
Fortunately, Chen An had no desire to fight, and when he saw that Yao Yizhong and his infantry had evacuated, he also restrained his troops and slowly retreated. Ma Qiu finally relieved himself, and shouted later: "You can pass the name, and when you come to the Japanese battle, you will definitely win or lose again!" Chen An laughed and said: "A certain is on the Longshang Chen An is also, you can clean the head, wait for a certain to come and get it!" β
The most important thing is that Ma Qiu has sneaked here to ambush before noon, so he didn't know that Guo Tai's department had arrived in Yong'an, and he was young and inexperienced in the city after all, so he didn't think of sending someone to stay near the city to investigate, and Chen Chuan didn't bother to remind him otherwise, if Guo Tai killed at this time, the two phases would be attacked, and it was estimated that the Jin soldiers would not be able to return to Pingyang.
As for Mrs. Guo, he found out that the Jin soldiers had escaped from the city, but the black lights were blind, and he didn't know whether to set up an ambush on the road, so he only took the opportunity to take an empty city, but he did not chase after him.
In the afternoon of the next day, Shi Hu entered Yong'an City, and Ma Qiu and Chen Chuan went to the audience and presented more than ten Jin soldiers who had been cut down last night, and in fact, the five hundred soldiers they had led died in that battle. Shi Hu asked about the situation, Chen Chuan relied on his ability to speak well, and instead of Ma Qiu, he smeared all his mistakes in white, and said that the number of Jin soldiers was not less than 5,000, and we really couldn't keep him.
Shi Hu didn't blame him, and nodded and said: "Chen An's name, I have also heard of it, it is really a strong general of Jin, since he is broken, it is reasonable that you can't win." But he gave Chen and Ma ten heads of cattle and sheep as a reward.
He judged that the Jin people would inevitably retreat to Pingyang, so he divided his cavalry to capture Puzi and Yang counties in the north of the county, and his own army went south while plundering. It's a pity that the northern part of Pingyang has been looted by him once last year, and there are very few scattered people......
Three days later, the army slaughtered under the city of Pingyang, but saw that the city was high and dense, and the buildings were complete, and its majestic momentum was not lost to the time when it was the capital of Hu and Han. Seeing this, Shi Hu couldn't help frowning, and returned to the camp to ask the generals: "I'm not good at attacking the city, what are your best strategies to break the city?" β
Zhu Rail, who joined the army: "This city is strong, and it can be pulled out overnight." The ministers will store the cattle, sheep, and grain in the city of Xiping, and send the heavy generals to guard it, and the king will force the city to go down to the wall, and temporarily besiege it without attacking. Guanzhong heard the warning, will send reinforcements, but the autumn grain has not been harvested, I am afraid that he will not be able to exhaust his division, then 120,000 troops will come, and the king can try to defeat it in the field. If they can defeat their reinforcements, the morale of the city will be depressed, and they can hope to take it. β
Shi Hu frowned and asked, "What if Guanzhong doesn't send reinforcements?" β
Zhu Liang replied: "It will take two months before the autumn harvest, and if Guanzhong does not send reinforcements, the morale in the city will also be frustrated......
Zhang Qun, who joined the army, shook his head and said: "I thought that Zhu Jun's strategy was too conservative." The king should besiege Pingyang today, don't send elite horsemen to go around the city, straight to Linfen and Jiangyi. If you can take the opportunity to take it, Pingyang will become a lonely city, and you can go down from below if you don't attack. Even if the two cities can be defended, there are many people between the river valleys, and they can be taken captive to be the precursor of the king. β
Shi Hu slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "This plan is very good." Even if I can't conquer Pingyang before the autumn harvest, I should trample on its land and weaken the people! Stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Tai: "Rushan general cavalry, you can take on this heavy responsibility." β
So he ordered Zhang Raccoon to be in the west, Zhang Xiong in the east, Yin Nong in the south, and his own house was camped in the north, and the regiment surrounded Pingyang City. As for the one that Guo Tai led out to plunder, it was only two or three thousand cavalry, which would not weaken the siege force.
The fortifications were established, and of course the trees were to be cut down and siege engines were built. Shi Le first got Jizhou, restored Youzhou, and then entered the state, robbed a lot of Jin craftsmen under the original Liu Yan, Wang Jun, and Liu Kun, Shi Hu also followed Shi Le's early deployment, and built a "craftsman battalion" in the army, and ordered to build ladders, building cars, rushing cars and other things to prepare for the siege.
Although Shi Le was only born as a herdsman, he was intelligent by nature and more studious, and soon after he started the army, Zhang Mengsun took the initiative to vote, so he was relatively regular in terms of army construction, and he was relatively regular and comparable to non-Wang Mi, Cao Wei and other rogues. Later, he was called the king and the emperor, and he collected many generals from the former Jin Dynasty, and his military ranks became more and more regularized. If you only talk about the internal organizational strength, Shi Hu's department is no longer under the central army of the Jin Dynasty, and it is even more advanced than Wang Dun, Zhou Wan, Su Jun and other departments.
Of course, there is no way to compare with the three armies of the great Sima in Guanzhong, after all, Pei should have opened a lot of golden fingers in later generations.
Five days later, all preparations stopped, and Shi Hu ordered a test attack from the north of the city. He put the thousands of Pingyang people captured in the past few days in front, and the elite of his own army covered themselves with large shields, pushed ladders and rushed cars, and followed closely.
The people were forced by the soldiers with white blades, and every five of them tied their waists with ropes, and they trembled towards the city wall. Occasionally, if someone tried to run or fell, some of the soldiers would rush up and not only cut off his head, but also slash the rest of his companions to death. Just walked all the way, laying corpses and plasma all the way, and it was close to the moat.
There were arrows scattered in the city, obviously not for killing the enemy, but only for the last distance measurement. The common people were so frightened that they raised their hands and screamed towards the city, saying that we are Jin people, be careful not to kill me!
Sure enough, the city did not let go of arrows, but when the people were close to the moats, they wanted to stop, so they were pushed by the soldiers behind them, and one by one, they fell into the water.
In this way, the soldiers behind were exposed one after another, only to hear the sound of drums in the city, and then the arrows were fired from behind the sheep and horses. The soldiers were shielded by shields, and at the same time they fired arrows and shots, and the momentum of their advance was stagnant.
I saw a lot of hooks sticking out from behind the sheep and horses, scooping up the people who had fallen into the moat one by one, and dragging them over. When Shi Hu saw it behind the battle, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered: "Shoot those Jin people first, don't let them re-enter the city!" β
At this time in Pingyang City, Liu Yang was scolding Yao Yizhong: "Why don't you release arrows in a hurry, so that the enemy is approaching the moat?!" β
Yao Yizhong bowed his head and apologized: "The general reprimanded well, this is the negligence of the last general...... then he couldn't hold back, and added a few words of explanation: "In fact, the last general fought the enemy in the mountain pass the day before yesterday, and the thieves drove the innocent people to the first place, if it wasn't for General Chen to rescue, the last general and thousands of athletes in the department would almost be inevitable." When I see it again today, I can't help but be in a trance......"
To put it bluntly, the battle the day before yesterday left a lot of psychological shadow on Yao Yizhong, so he behaved at a loss and failed to give the order to release the arrow at the first time.
When Liu Yang heard this, his face was a little pale, and he not only got the report of Yao Yizhong and Chen An a few days ago, but also specially summoned a number of main and auxiliary soldiers who had participated in the battle to ask, because only if the battle was bad enough, the reason for Chen, Yao and others to abandon the camp and even Yong'an retreat would be more sufficient, and he would have to explain to the metropolitan governor in the future. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, even Liu Yang couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body through reports from all sides...... If he changes places, maybe he won't be hit lightly than Yao Yizhong.
So he raised his hand, patted Yao Yizhong's shoulder, and said, "If I know that the thief will resume what he has done, I should not order the thief to guard the city and go down to the city for a while, I will take command." β
As soon as Liu Yang took over the command of the north of the city, he immediately ordered a flurry of arrows to hit the army so hard that it was likely to hit the common people.
Shi Hu personally beat the drums behind the battle, urging the soldiers to rush to the moat, on the one hand, firing arrows at the city and the sheep and horse walls, and on the other hand, filling the moat with earthen bags and the corpses of the people. He governed the army very strictly, killed from the heart, and all the Zhao soldiers in his department could fight to the death, and did not dare to retreat.
In fact, a violent temper like Shi Hu, coupled with jealousy and jealousy, can easily lead to the accumulation of resentment among the soldiers, and even gather crowds to fight back; It's just that since he was a general, he has few defeats, and it is estimated that he lost more miserably at the mouth of the giant spirit at the beginning of the battle, even if he was under Pingyang City last year, although he was frustrated, it could not be regarded as a big defeat in order to be powerful, so that the generals did not dare to be a little delusional. In addition, the Tuoba Division, which had just been defeated by Hu and Qianmu a few months ago, was at this time, and the morale of the Zhao army in Bingzhou was at its peak, and its combat effectiveness was extremely tenacious.
Therefore, after a whole morning of fierce fighting, the Zhao army advanced and retreated twice, and the common people who were forced to drive forward were almost dead, and they themselves fell two or three hundred people, but they finally successfully put the long ladder on the moat and began to try to launch an assault on the city wall. Liu Yang was forced to temporarily abandon the sheep and horse walls outside the city, and retreated the guards to the city through the secret gateAs for the people rescued from the moats, there were only forty or fifty people, and most of them died under the arrows of both sides......
The Zhao army used a large shield to protect the city from the rain of arrows, took the opportunity to strengthen the ladder over the trench, and piled up several roads with earthen bags and corpses, and the ladder and the rushing car approached. When Shi Hu saw it behind the battle, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said left and right: "The Jin people are just like this, maybe within three days, they can storm the city!" β
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a loud "click" above my head, and thunder fell in the clear sky! Shi Hu raised his eyes and saw that the thick clouds around him gradually converged...... He couldn't help gritting his teeth and said angrily: "Don't help me...... Only wait for tomorrow! "It's going to rain now, but if the rain is light, it's enough, and if the rain is heavy and the road is difficult, the attackers will suffer heavy losses under the city walls. No way, let's retreat first.
Just as he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, he suddenly heard two loud noises, and the sound was not in the air, but in the direction of the city. Shi Hu couldn't help but be confused, could it be said that thunder fell from the sky and hit the city?
The time was not long, and a fast horse rushed back to report, saying: "Thunder fell from the sky, straight into my formation, the flesh and bones of the middle were shattered, and the corpses were everywhere......"
Shi Hu glared and scolded: "How can this be reasonable! β
