Between Pingyang and Xihe, the battle between the Jin and Zhao armies continued until the next day.

In the battle of the first day, Zhao general Zhang Jackal led 3,000 elites to attack, but Yao Yizhong took advantage of the terrain and the unfinished fortifications as the auxiliary, with more than 100 regular soldiers and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. The Zhao army also launched a fierce attack, and nearly 100 corpses were ambushed, and the number of injured people was multiplied, and they were forced to retreat in embarrassment.

Yao Yizhong looked at the enemy flag from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Why is it a pity? Because the mountain road is narrow, the attackers' soldiers are crowded in one place, and it is a natural target to rush directly, and the arrows carried by the Jin side are enough to shoot more than 3,000 enemy soldiers. If Zhang Jackal Jia Yong does not retreat and repeatedly impacts, there will be dead bodies all over the ground; But since he only rushed once and retreated, it means that he wants to change the way of thinking and methods of attack, tens of thousands of Zhao troops are surging south, and after this small setback, the whole division will be returned, it is absolutely impossible, and it is impossible to say whether he can still come up with a suitable countermeasure at that time, and how much damage he can inflict on the enemy army.

Of course, Yao Yizhong didn't know, in fact, Zhang Jackal wanted to continue to attack two more rounds to try, but a herald came to report, saying that Shi Hu had gone to the camp on the mountain, and asked him to collect his troops and go back to meet him. Zhang Jackal had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat temporarily, and he himself hurriedly ran to see Shi Hu.

Shihu sent Zhang Jackal to attack the Jin camp first, but he was not idle, a little bunch of soldiers and horses, and then followed, and then stood on the mountain, condescending, the first day of the battle, the first round of charge is clear. Immediately, before all the Zhao troops withdrew from the range of the Jin bows and arrows, he sent someone to summon Zhang Jackal back.

After meeting, Shi Hu didn't talk nonsense, and asked Zhang Jackal directly: "The terrain where the Jin people are based is very good, and there are trenches and walls to help, and the frontal assault is probably difficult to overcome, but it will damage the lives of the soldiers in vain, what is your best plan?" ”

Zhang Jackal was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "The last general is stupid, and there is really no good plan......

When he was still in Hebei, he was assigned to Shi Hu, and then he guarded and merged the state from there, until Shi Sheng took over last year...... So I can't know much about the temper of Shi Hu, the old chief. In front of Shi Hu, there is no good end to the talent of Chao Yi Qun, at least in terms of fighting, Shi Hu will never allow anyone to be stronger than him, but compared to it, he hates people who speak out more. You can be mediocre, as long as you are barely fit and loyal and willing to work, but if you can do three points and brag about ten points, once it is revealed...... Shihu butcher's knife has many wronged souls, but what about the unjusted people?

As for how to attack Jinzhai, Zhang Jackal already had some ideas on the way back, but after all, he had not thought it out and was not perfect, for fear that once he said it, it would be difficult to work, and he would be angry with Shihu. So I can't help it, since the king has come up in person, it's better for you to formulate the tactics.

Shi Hu said: "I will explore the army, look for people who are familiar with geography, and see if there is a path, which can be copied to the Jin people......" Although Shi Le and Shi Hu's uncle and nephew are from Bingzhou, their hometown is in Shangdangwu Township, in Taiyuan and Xihe counties, and they are also guest residences. Although Shi Hu was once detained by Liu Kun in Jinyang, after all, as a hostage, it is unlikely that he will run around at will.

Moreover, if it is an ordinary road, the Jin people will naturally know about it, and they must prevent it in advance, and if you want to find those little-known hidden passages, you have to ask the villagers who have lived nearby for generations like a needle in a haystack.

As a result, Shi Hu was lucky, and he was really asked, "Unexpectedly, Chen Chuan is a native of Jiexiu!" ”

According to Chen Chuan's report, there is a hidden path six or seven miles north of the middle of this mountain road, which is six or seven miles north of Zhang Jackal's camp, twenty-five miles west, which can directly connect to the Fen River, and is located on the south side of the blockhouse built by the Jin people on the Fen River! Then go south along the Fen River for more than 30 miles, you can enter the flat, copy to the northwest direction of Yongan County.

Zhang Jackal was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "In this case, please divide the army immediately, go south by the edge, and then attack the Jin camp in the north and south!" ”

Shi Hu shook his head and said, "I have ordered Chen Chuan to be the guide to lead Ma Qiu's department to Fenshui through this trail." However, according to Chen Chuan, the road is extremely dangerous and narrow, horses cannot walk, and people must climb cliffs on the mountain, and there is no way to pass through the army is Ma Qiu, and his five hundred athletes.

"And if the road is difficult, it will be slow, although it is only more than fifty miles, but it is not three days and three nights, and it cannot be leveled. Compared with Chen Chuan and Ma Qiu, the army of the Jin people in Pingyang will also be driven to ...... What will the north-south attack say by then? I'm afraid these 500 people will only have time to go, and there will be no more days of survival! ”

Zhang Jackal couldn't help but be stunned, so he asked: "In that case, why did the king send Chen Chuan and Ma Qiu?" ”

Shi Hu said: "This is just a preparation for the future battle." I expect that if Pingyang sends light horses, it will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest; If Liu Yang personally led the army, it would only be three or five days. In these two or three days, we must first break through the base in front of us, force the enemy to peace, and retreat to Yong'an. If when the Jin people return to the city, Ma Qiu can flank and assault, he will be able to greatly kill and injure the Jin soldiers and destroy their generals' courage! ”

Zhang Jackal said that you talked a lot in vain, didn't you still come back in the end? How to attack the frontal Jin base, or didn't say anything" King Rongyu, although the Jin base is not very strong, although its trench is not very deep, but it occupies an advantageous area, frontal assault, I am afraid it is difficult to have a chance of winning in two or three days...... Unless you don't care about the dead and wounded, desperately try to take ......"

According to visual observations, there will not be too many Jin soldiers guarding the camp, only two or three thousand, less than one-tenth of our army. Then if our army takes turns attacking day and night, regardless of casualties, even if it can't kill the Jin people, it can still exhaust them. Only in this way can it be possible to successfully break through the king within two or three days, can you make this determination?

When Shi Hu heard this, he suddenly pouted and smiled, and said, "You can't help but think about the war too much. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the south: "I don't see that there are many soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, and there are three trenches, one of which is not successful, and it can be crossed lightly, that is, the other two are not too deep......

Zhang Jackal actually went through the battle array, although he did not go to the first line, but from the mouth of the wounded soldiers who carried down, he also had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the fortifications of the Jin people, and immediately replied: "These two trenches, but only four or five feet deep...... "is less than one person high" However, there are sharpened wooden stakes buried in them, and the soldiers will die when they fall. ”

Shi Hu nodded and continued: "The trench is not very deep, the base is not very high, and it is only four or five feet. According to your estimates, if the trench is filled with human beings, and the human body is piled on the ramparts, how many corpses will be needed? ”

When Zhang Jackal suddenly heard this, he felt a cold breath penetrating his viscera, and he couldn't help but stammer: "The end, the end will not know ......."

Shi Hu smiled: "Pei Xian in the past...... When Wen Yue was still in our army, he once told me that a general must not be ignorant of the art of counting, not only to calculate the consumption of grain and materials, but also to know how many soldiers and horses can be arranged in the wide and narrow places. According to a certain estimate, there are 4,000 people who spread the corpse from an arrow and go straight to the Jin base...... "opening five fingers while talking!" ”

Although he was taken by the power of Shi Hu, Zhang Jackal couldn't help but admonish: "Our army is only more than 40,000 people, and the king will throw one-tenth of it in this mountain...... This matter must not be done, the king thinks twice! ”

Shi Hu pouted and smiled: "You don't need to use your elite, what are you afraid of?" ”

When the enemy is outnumbered, he is most afraid of being attacked at night, because the enemy sends some soldiers and horses to attack at night, even if it only disturbs you to sleep unsteadily, they still have the strength to attack during the second day. However, after waiting for a whole night, the army did not move.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that the drums in the Zhao camp on the mountain could be heard, and soon a large group of Zhao troops swarmed in, but the mountain road was narrow, and it was difficult to arrange too many troops.

Yao Yizhong could only see the Zhao camp on the mountain, and after the Zhao camp, there were still large armies coming over the mountain one after another, so he couldn't see it, but he could expect it.

The Jin Fang soldiers held spears in their hands, and the archers in the auxiliary troops raised their bows and waited for battle. But after a closer look, the Zhao Jun who came today is different from yesterday......

Yesterday's Zhao army could be seen to be elite, all wearing leather armor, nearly half of them still had scarves, or short spears, or swords and shields, the queue was not very neat, and they could barely see the formation.

And the Zhao army that came today had no queue to speak of, and most of them had no armor on their bodies, no helmets on their heads, and even their clothes were ragged; The weapons in his hands are even more rudimentary and miscellaneous, only occasionally knives and shields can be seen in the gaps of the crowd, and the rest are mostly wooden sticks, hoes, or sharpened bamboo spears......

Are these soldiers? Even if he was "begging" back then, he wasn't so sloppy, right?

Yao Yizhong was well-informed after all, and was slightly surprised, and quickly reacted, "This must be the Jin people captured by the thieves in the two counties!" ”

He guessed roughly right, but there was a slight deviation.

This time, Shi Hu drove to the front line, and it was indeed the people who were forcibly brought in from the two counties of Xihe and Taiyuan to serve as soldiers, but only seventy percent of them were Jin people, and two percent were miscellaneous Hu such as Diqiang. After all, these miscellaneous beards have been in the state for a long time, mixed with the Jin people, and many of them have also switched to agricultural production and are still in the field of grazing, Shi Hu is reluctant to move forward for the time being, and has to rely on those miscellaneous beards to help him manage the hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep used as military food.

There are only peasants, Shi Hu feels that it is not much use, Lao Tzu did not farm this year, and was brought in for military service, and was originally responsible for some logistical coolies, but this time they were all forced to the front line. These so-called "Zhao soldiers", less than ten days of formal military training, of course, do not rule out that there are some of them who originally served under Liu Kun's command without armor and weapons, and Shi Hu did not give them, so they were allowed to carry rakes, hoes and other labor tools into battle.

It's used to lay corpses, what kind of weapons do you want?

There are less than one percent of the real Zhao soldiers, all of whom are fully armored, holding shields in their left hands to prevent bows and arrows, and long knives in their right hands, but they are not used to impact the Jin formation, but to drive away those farmers. Shi Hu ordered that anyone who could climb the base first, regardless of their original status, should be appointed as a general, or immediately given a coil and released to return to their hometown; Those who dare to retreat will be killed immediately!

These peasants were forced into battle, and Zhao Bingming's dangling knives were shaking behind their backs, all of them were terrified, but they didn't know where to drive them. Although the camp ahead was visible from afar, most of the archers were still hiding behind the walls because they had not yet engaged, and it seemed that there were not many of them...... In this chaos, they were driven and rushed straight over.

Yao Yizhong couldn't help but crack!

He didn't hate Shi Hu's subordinate methods of using the people as shields, and he wouldn't be so soft-hearted as not to wave swords and guns at the Jin people. Many people in these years have no national consciousness, and besides, he Yao is a Qiang person, not a serious Jin person...... Although even if he has joined the three armies of the Great Sima, even if he is Chinese, according to the propaganda of Sima in the army, he must submit to Wang Hua to be considered Chinese, and these can only be regarded as "old Jin people" in person, and now they are the people of Zhao Zhao, so what is it to bear to kill the people of Zhao?

More importantly, Yao Yizhong is a native of Qinzhou, not a native of Bingzhou, nor a native of Pingyang who is very close to Bingzhou.

The Metropolitan Governor said that he must not kill the Jin people without permission, and he must not harm the people without permission, but since he is in battle, he cannot be counted as the people, and in front of the two armies, life and death are fighting, I can't be regarded as "good" killing, right?

Yao Yizhong was just angry, killing these peasants, wasting his strength in vain, and wasting arrows, but it was impossible to make the enemy general's flesh hurt, what a bastard!

In fact, he had used similar tactics before. It is common for the various tribes of the Qiang to fight each other, and often drive away the captives of the hostile tribes, even the old and weak, women and children, and rush into the enemy's formation first to consume the opponent's arrows and physical strength. Therefore, Yao Yizhong deeply felt the annoyance of this move, even if the opposite person could not be regarded as a compatriot, kill, waste physical strength, consume weapons, don't kill, if you really want to rush in front of you, even Mu Yun can hurt people......

Seeing that the large group of farmers was getting closer and closer, Yao Yizhong had no choice but to raise the small flag in his hand according to the original plan and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Brush brush brush", arrows from the Jin base on both sides spewed out, and a large number of farmers fell in front of him in an instant. To say that the bow and arrow at that time, unless a special large iron cluster was used, it was not very powerful, and as long as a collar of leather armor was used to cover the vital points, it was often able to hit four or five arrows without falling, and even did not affect any combat effectiveness. Yesterday, the elite of the Zhao army attacked the base, and the Jin army shot three rounds of arrows before and after, nearly a thousand, and there were less than 100 enemy soldiers who were choked or seriously injured on the spot, and twice as many of them were inserted with many arrows, and they fled back......

But these peasants in front of them are farmers who lack training and protection, one has no armor on their bodies, and the other sees arrows coming, they can only hold their heads, and they have no time to dodge, let alone cover other vital parts. So in the midst of the screams, a large number of well-trained soldiers, as long as they were not injured, would easily refuse to lie down, because the array was too crowded, and if they fell, they would be trampled to death by their comrades......

The farmer did not understand this, or was attacked suddenly, and instinctively did not realize this, although many of them fell from the arrow, and many of them squatted down with their heads in their hands and shrank down at the sound of the screams of those beside them; Others turned their heads and tried to find a way to escape. In this way, people were crowded and stamped, and the casualties were even heavier.

But in this way, the small number of soldiers who did not fall, refused to squat, and did not turn around were exposed. There was no need for Yao Yizhong to order, and the second round of arrows of the Jin soldiers went straight to these soldiers. The soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to cover them, and most of them were unharmed, and then when the arrows passed, even if they had their hands free, they shouted loudly and shouted to kill the defeated soldiers.

Whether you're down or crouching, as long as you can still move, get me up! Those who turn around and want to escape, without exception, are anointed with blades!
