Chapter 164: Immovable as a Mountain
There are six counties in the southwest of Taiyuan County that were broken by thieves, namely Daling, Pingtao, Zishi, Zhongdu, Wu, Jiexiu six counties, because there is Zhao Yuze in the middle to block, so the thieves are divided into two armies and march to Jinyang City.

Among them, the closest to Jinyang City is the Li Le thief department that occupies the three counties of Daling, Pingtao, and Zishi. The Yang Feng thief department, which occupied the three counties of Zhongdu, Wu, and Jiexiu, could suspend the conquest because they were blocked by the Jingling chief and the Wen clan of Jingling. So Han Yi led the army and approached Daling Xiazhai.
When Li Le heard that a large army was coming from the direction of Jinyang, he was not afraid, and did not wait for Han Yi to send troops to challenge, and in the early morning of the second day, he led more than 30,000 white wave thieves to call for battle.
Han Yi was furious when he heard this, and since the first year of Zhongping, he has led his troops to fight, which time is not to use the few enemies and the weak to bully the strong, although the yellow turbans, black circles, and Xianbei are all the same bullies. This white wave thief is so courageous, only an army of 30,000, he wants to fight against the already 11,000 army.
Since the whole army of the White Wave Thieves came, Han Yi unceremoniously led all the 11,000 troops to battle. There are thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is no boundary. It was the first time that Han Yi led tens of thousands of troops to fight, which inevitably caused some inconvenience. In addition, the battlefield spread out by the white wave thieves was very wide, and Han Yi had to divide the left, middle and right parts.
With Wen Chou, Ma Yan, Zhang Kai, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian six generals 2,000 Xianbei cavalry, and 1,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry as the left wing, Gao Lan, LΓΌ Kuang, LΓΌ Xiang, Wang Yang, Yu Hua, Ke Suo'er six generals 3,000 Xianbei cavalry as the right wing. In the central part, 500 elite soldiers led by Cheng Qi and Deng Dang were the vanguard of the Chinese army, and 3,000 foot soldiers led by six generals Che Jing, Zhou Ge, Yin Li, Chu Hu, Zhong Jin, and Zhong Shen were the front.
Han Yizi and Zhang Yang, Li Feng, Xue Lan, and Zhang Liao commanded 500 infantry soldiers and 1,000 cavalry soldiers as the Chinese army. Wei Yue and Cheng Lian will be the protectors, divided into left and right. Li Le also divided the white wave thieves into three divisions and slowly drove towards the state army.
As the white wave thieves approached, Han Yi felt the ground tremble slightly, the chaotic but thunderous footsteps came from far and near, a cloud of dust slowly approached and expanded from the distant horizon, and tens of thousands of wild white wave thieves in the dust rushed towards the Bingzhou army at two hundred paces, and the waving blades reflected a little light in the sun. The fierce clamor could still be heard very clearly even from such a distance.
Seeing them, Han Yi showed a sneer, first let the calm and calm Che Jing command on the front line, and then looked at Zhang Liao, who was a little nervous, and said: "Wenyuan, there has never been a real battle in Jiuyuan City, today I will see how these white wave thieves are bleeding in front of these soldiers under my command, how about it?" β
Zhang Liao saw Han Yi's relaxed expression, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Big brother is so calm, Wen Yuan admires it." It's just that I think this white wave thief seems to be more fierce than the yellow turban moth thief, I don't know ......"
Han Yi nodded and said, "Most of the White Wave Thief generals are loyal remnants of the Yellow Turban, and they have a lot of experience in combat. In addition, many of them were converted from the people of the three counties near the Xiongnu land, so they were more fierce than the Han people elsewhere. However, our army is all elite, needless to say the cavalry, the foot soldiers are mainly to kill the blood hatred army of tens of thousands of Xianbei people. It's just a white wave, and it won't be put in their eyes. β
Zhang Liao nodded again and again, turning his head to watch the upcoming battlefield encounter. I saw that the vanguard of the white wave thief had rushed to the front of our army, and the vanguard of the Qi department gathered tightly together, like a huge stone, borrowing the big shield and spear in his hand, so that the white wave thief paid a lot of casualties, but never broke through the place of death.
However, to their left and right, the torrent of white wave thieves pressed towards our front like a mountain of seas. Although there were still hundreds of steps away from Han Yi, the excitement of the enemy's wild shouts and thirsty bloodthirsty still made Han Yi feel uncomfortable. This white wave thief is indeed different from the yellow turban thief, more fierce and not afraid of death.
Han Yi looked at Zhang Liao, who was looking at those white wave thieves intently, and said calmly: "Wenyuan, in your opinion, is it correct for the white wave thief Li Le to use his troops like this?" β
Zhang Liao said cautiously: "This white wave thief is indeed fierce, and looking at its momentum, you can know that this white wave thief has an indomitable will to fight to the death." It's just that this Li Le is a mediocre general, just blindly driving the thieves to punch and rush. If our army is defeated, it is good, but the soldiers who are fighting in front will definitely cause an extremely serious impact. If our army can resist their ferocious attack and not be scattered by this group of thieves, this white wave thief will not be far from defeat. β
Zhang Yang on the side sighed: "A few days ago, although I had 3,000 state troops with Li Feng and Xue Lan, I couldn't beat them against 30,000 white wave thieves. β
Han Yi said indifferently: "Then we have to see if this thief can break through my military formation." β
As he spoke, our side had already made some moves, and under Che Jing's order, an extremely rhythmic drum was beaten, and the soldiers close to the front of our side erected the giant wooden shield that was originally leaning on their bodies, and the spears on it emitted a dazzling light, as if a city wall full of spikes was suddenly erected in the flat ground, although the spikes had not yet been erected, but they had coldly shown the meaning of death to the world.
After the giant shield was raised, the White Wave Thief had already rushed to the range of our bows and arrows. A bamboo whistle sounded, and a dense rain of arrows covered the head of the white wave thief, and the thieves in ragged clothes fell down one after another, splashing countless blood flowers to harvest batches of lives at the same time, they were rushed by the companions behind without hesitation, leaving only a cloud of flesh and blood.
A single round of arrow rain brought at least 500 thieves to the ground. After two more rounds of arrows, the thieves had already rushed to a range of twenty paces. I saw that the thieves took out the three-foot-long sharp wood from behind them one after another, and flew like raindrops into the dense front army array. In the array of arrows flying in the sky, they viciously returned fire at us, showing that death was nothing.
Han Yi was taken aback for a moment, and stood up straight on the horse, the thief actually had this kind of attack? Zhang Yang frowned on the side and said: "I heard that Xiliang's Qiang cavalry is very good at using this short spear projection method, which is more powerful than the bow and arrow, but how can this white wave thief know?" β
I saw that Che Jing was not in a hurry, and in the sound of the bamboo whistle, several rows of big shields in the front row lifted the big shield and raised it high, only listening to the sound of "poof, snorting, tying", and the sharp wood without an iron spearhead could not penetrate the big wooden shield in front. It seems that Han Yi did not follow the Han army's tactics of not liking to use shields, which still has great benefits for the protection of the army.
These thieves are worthy of being more ferocious than the Yellow Turban Moth thieves, and most of the sharp wood shot out of them were intercepted by the thick wooden shield wall that was half a man high on our side. After a shout, the thieves all bowed their waists and brandished long knives and rushed towards us again.
After trampling the corpses of countless companions, they finally got closer and closer to our front. Ten steps, five steps, three steps, you can use a long knife to harvest the heads of our soldiers, it seems that as long as there is a little more time, you can wield a knife to slaughter, so that our soldiers will end up with hatred.
Han Yi could even see the thief licking his lips and showing a hideous smile, waving the long knife in his hand and slashing at our soldiers. It's a pity that in Che Jing's shout, our front row shield soldiers suddenly took a step back, resisted the big shield with their shoulders, and the spear hand behind him held the spear obliquely to the sky tightly in his hand, and stabbed the spear out fiercely when the shield hand retreated to resist the shield.
Slowly, but in the blink of an eye. The thief rushed into action, and the thief who was about to come into contact with our soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him with a cold light. It's too late to stop running, and there are countless thieves behind them who are desperately pushing them, and only by rushing forward can they have a chance to survive. Or smash the face that is hiding behind the shield and showing a sneering smile is enough.
Without hesitation, the running thieves crashed into the sturdy shield wall, like a huge wave crashing against a solid reef. No matter how much it hits, slaps, and makes a thrilling roar, in the end, it can only die down, splash a large amount of blood and retreat. The wave hitting the reef can recede, but unfortunately at this time, the wave of the white wave thief slapped on the hedgehog covered in thorns.
The rest of the White Wave Thieves had their eyes red with blood, and the raging blood had completely driven them crazy. In the howl of a wild beast, the White Wave Thief, with more soldiers than the state, launched a wide range of battles, broke through the ring antlers on the left and right of our front formation, and wanted to attack the hedgehog shield wall from the flank. This seems to be the last madness of the White Wave Thief.
However, at this time, the flanks of the left and right columns of the front formation suddenly turned, once again preventing the impact of the thieves. The two generals, Li Feng and Xue Lan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led a thousand Chinese cavalry soldiers and fiercely rushed towards the stunned Baibo thieves.
Countless horses galloped in an instant, and countless thieves were pierced through their chests and necks twisted by the sudden horsemen's spears, whimpering in their mouths, and falling to the ground with desperate screams, and after a painful struggle, they stopped moving.
Countless thieves were slashed to the ground by the powerful impact of the war horse and the cutting force of the ring head knife, and they died unwillingly with eyes full of disbelief. Some of the brave thieves wanted to leap up and pounce on the galloping horses, but they were waiting for them with spears and knives from others.
In less than a meal, the decisive attack of the White Wave Thieves in front of the hedgehog front of the Bingzhou Army, in addition to leaving a place of corpses and blood, they can only cause small losses to our side. And these losses were paid by these thieves with the blood of more than 5,000 thieves. Although Han Yi expected the result of this battle, he did not expect to cause such a serious loss to the White Wave Thief.
With a sad trumpet, the remnants of thousands of white wave thieves reluctantly stopped continuing the useless impact, leaving thousands of corpses and retreating towards the rear.
However, the five hundred soldiers of the Chinese army who had been waiting for a long time to protect the camp, after Han Yi's order, the whole army set out, and pursued the thieves with the soldiers in the front, and along the bloody road left by the thieves, fiercely rushed towards the thieves who fled in confusion not far away.
In less than half an hour, our side only paid more than 500 casualties, and the thieves died at least 12,000 people, and 20,000 descended, leaving Li Le to flee alone, and the war ended.
Zhang Liao, who was beside Han Yi, was obviously also moved by this tragic battle, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said a little hoarsely: "Its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, its invasion is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain." The elite and invincible army in the military battle chapter of "The Art of War", Liao was finally fortunate to see it. β
