Chapter 71: The Battle of the Spike (10)

Obviously, those who can calculate that they will ambush the reinforcements of the Xian army, looking at the generals of the Xian country, no one can do this. Then this battle can only be done by Wei Xian.

In this way, if Wei Xian ambushed 10,000 cavalry of Ji Chang, what should he do next? Thinking of this, Han Hedun was stunned:

"It's not good, Feicheng is lost!"

Han Yiyi slapped the case and immediately stood up. He didn't think of anything else, so he thought that Wei Xian was very likely to go back to fight Feicheng, pretending to transfer the Xian army outside Feicheng and luring Wang Shuo out of the city, so that Feicheng would definitely be in danger.

Thinking of this, Han Hesu ordered five thousand cavalry to rush to Feicheng. He no longer expects Feicheng to be able to hold it, but if Feicheng is lost, Wang Shuo will definitely escape from Feicheng, and there will be Xianjun chasing soldiers along the way.

So the 5,000 cavalry was ordered to go to Feicheng, but after less than half a day's journey, they found that Wang Shuo was sparsely lala and fled to the direction of Duyang with thousands of remnants of the defeated army, and then the two groups of men and horses returned to the Hanhe camp together, and it was already that night.

"Old General Han, the last general will die!" Wang Shuo knelt on one knee, and his cloak was no longer human.

"General Wang Shuo, please hurry up, it's all because the old man didn't plan thoughtfully, so General Wang fought hard in Feicheng." Han He helped Wang Shuo up, and then poured a bowl of water for him: "I learned that His Royal Highness the Prince was broken by the Xian army, and the old man thought that Feicheng would definitely be in danger, so he immediately sent reinforcements to meet the general, and he didn't want to hurry up or be a step late." ”

"Alas...... It's all a trick of the Xianjun army! Wang Shuo said that he hated it, smashed the pottery bowl with a snap and said: "Now that the Xian army has occupied the fat city, all the grain and grass are in the hands of the Xian army, and I also ask General Han Lao to punish the crime!" ”

"General Wang Shuo's crimes are all due to the old man's poor planning. For today's plan, Feicheng can no longer be taken care of, and the decisive battle is at the moment, our army should quickly reorganize its armament and fight a decisive battle with the Xian army. ”

"The Xian army is 160,000 people, and our army is more than 100,000 people, how to resist."

"The Xian army has just occupied Feicheng, the infantry army will be slow to come here for four days, and the fast will be three days, if our army can consume 80,000 horses of Dingyang Marquis before this, and wait until the Xian army kills from Feicheng, our army still has a chance to win."

Han He's calculation is very good, from Feicheng to Xiaosui on foot, it takes more than four days to march, and about three days to march forcibly, even though the Xian army has 20,000 cavalry to take the lead in reinforcements, but in the face of the Jin army's 40,000 cavalry, there is no chance of victory.

Even Han He could directly order the cavalry to go and rob and kill the cavalry of the Xian army, there was no suspense. Therefore, the Xian army will never take the lead in cavalry reinforcements, but should be coordinated with infantry and cavalry.

In these three days, with the absolute superiority of the infantry and cavalry of the Jin army, it was not a big problem to storm and besiege the Marquis of Dingyang, not to mention that it could be annihilated.

In this way, as long as the Marquis of Ding Yang was severely injured and still surrounded, even if the Xian army of Feicheng arrived, the number would not be much more than that of the Jin army.

Moreover, most of the Xian army were forced conscripts, many of whom were only in their early sixteens, or even sixteen, and had no experience in battle and fighting. The decisive battle in the Jin army outweighed the disadvantages, which was also the reason why Bailiyan tried his best to avoid a direct decisive battle with the main force of the Jin army in the short term.

Bailiyan (Wei Xian) foresaw that although the Xian army was powerful, there were too many recruits, and the vast majority of the recruits were minors, and they were almost untrained to directly enlist in the army and pull across the river to the battlefield.

Therefore, Bailiyan foresightily tried to delay the decisive battle after this autumn, not only through half a year to train the soldiers, so that they have enough time to grow, but also to resume spring ploughing and summer ploughing, and provide food and grass supplies for the decisive battle after the autumn, which can be described as both war and economy.

But the world is unpredictable, not long after Zhao Xun captured Feicheng, Lu Jing, the metropolitan governor who was still rushing to Yin Yangcheng to "rescue", received Zhao Xun's order, as soon as he heard that Zhao Xun had captured Feicheng City, Yin Yangcheng was lost just Zhao Xun deceived him, and the angry Lu Jing rode a horse and rushed straight to Feicheng Taishou Mansion, threw the horsewhip in front of Zhao Xun's table, and asked the Xingshi with a loud voice:

"Zhao Xun, what kind of intentions do you have, dare to lie about the military situation, and disregard the safety of the Marquis of Dingyang!"

Zhao Xun looked up at Lu Jing, put down his pen and ink, and lost it:

"Ben was helpless and had to make this decision. General Lu is the commander of the Marquis of Dingyang, and this general has no right to transfer. Previously, because he saw through the sneak attack of the Jin army, the general thought that if our army was defeated, his Jin army would definitely open the gate of Yin Yangcheng in the name of the general, and then General Lu would definitely return to help when he learned the news.

As a result, General Lu really returned to Yin Yangcheng. ”

"So what!"

"If the general withdraws his troops, the Jin army in the city is bound to go out of the city and drive away the 10,000 horses besieged by the general, so the general will plan and wait for the Jin army to kill, and our army will enter, so as to capture the fat city and occupy the grain and grass of his Jin army.

Hearing that grain and grass were available in July and August, Lu Jing's face, which was not buying it, still twitched slightly:

"That being the case, Feicheng has been recaptured, when will I save Ding Yanghou." Lu Jing urged, obviously he didn't want to have any entanglement in the battle of Feicheng, because the battle merits were all Zhao Xun's alone, and he didn't have an inch.

Zhao Xun was thoughtful and a little speechless. Because Lu Jing is the descendant of Marquis Ding Yang, Zhao Xun knows that if he doesn't save Marquis Ding Yang for the time being, he will not be able to convince Lu Jing or mobilize Lu Jing's people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun still decided to take advantage of it:

"I thought that since the Marquis of Ding Yang had already dragged the Jin army at the moment, our army should immediately cut off the retreat of the Jin army, force the Jin army to withdraw, and then seek a decisive battle."

"Forcing the Jin army to retreat, and then fighting a decisive battle, so what is the difference between going to the aid of Ding Yang Hou, and the decisive battle with the Jin army, not to mention that if the Jin army has a respite, what can I do if the reinforcements come again." Lu Jing sneered, not wanting to hear Zhao Xun defend again, so he stepped on the table and kicked over the pen stand.

At this time, Zhao Xun took down a long sword from the weapon rack standing on the wall behind him, the reason why it was said to be a long sword was because this sword was an iron sword, and the iron sword was more than a foot longer than the bronze sword. Zhao Xun stepped forward with a long sword in his hand and said:

"General Lu Jing, this is the iron sword obtained in the baggage of the Jin army, which is worth tens of thousands. Previously, General Ben was trapped in Yin Yangcheng and fought with the Jin army for a month, and if it was not designed by General Ben's subordinates, it would be difficult to hold out for a long time.

At that time, the general tasted the sharpness of the iron weapons of the Jin army, and my bronze weapons were against them, and there was no advantage in fighting. Now the Jin army's iron weapons are five or six out of ten, on the other hand, our army's iron weapons are less than one, and all of them are trapped in the land of horror.

At present, our army has only occupied two cities in Jiangdong, and most of the soldiers are weak recruits, who have neither training nor experience in fighting in battles, and rely on their blood to fight to the death with the Jin army. Even though our army has more than 100,000 people, compared to the 100,000 people of the Jin army, our army is not an opponent of the Jin army in terms of weapons and elites. ”

Zhao Xun also knew that not only was the quality of the soldiers not enough to participate in the war, but the equipment of the Xian army was completely at a disadvantage, and it was impossible to fight with the Jin army in the plain head-on, even if it was won, it would be a disastrous victory.

The Jin army can still quickly get a large number of elite personnel from the country to replenish, and although the Xian army won a field battle, but in the second half of the year, the Jin army made a comeback again, and when the time came, the Xian army had no people, no food, and the war could not last long.

What's more, the iron equipment rate of the Jin army has reached more than fifty percent, and the Xian army is less than one percent, and this alone can be worth 50,000 people. Coupled with the elite soldiers and well-trained soldiers, even if the Jin army is only 100,000, its combat effectiveness is far above the Xian army of more than 100,000 people.

The situation is very clear, with the current state of the Xian army and the Jin army, it is also a tragic victory. It was not the result that Zhao Xun wanted to see, but no matter how hard he persuaded him, Lu Jing couldn't listen to it at all.

"General Zhao Xun, isn't it that you occupied Feicheng and seized the grain and grass, and you were afraid that you would rob the battle after rescuing the Marquis of Dingyang, so you, General Zhao, deliberately died here and did not save it!"

"Lu Jing!" Zhao Xun shouted: "This will be to discuss with you the life and death of our army, and the king is in charge of the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, and it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks." ”

"In this case, my subordinates are willing to hear and see!" Lu Jing's attitude was arrogant.

"At present, our army is in decline, and it is better to avoid war, so we have to force the Jin army to retreat first. General Ben is determined to order you to lead 20,000 cavalry to secretly march around Duyang and take Hechi directly, so as to cut off the Jin army's food route and retreat.

In this way, our army can confront the Jin army without fighting, and when the Jin army runs out of grain and grass, it must retreat to the east, and then the general will let the Jin army retreat, so that our army can subdue all the cities west of the pool, and after the autumn harvest, then transfer troops from the country to here, and the Jin army will compete with each other. ”

Hearing Zhao Xun's high opinion, Lu Jing was contemptuous:

"Take a detour to capture Hechi, hum, it's easy to say. According to General Ben, it is you Zhao Xun who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and avoids not fighting! ”

Zhao Xun finally couldn't suppress his anger and said sharply: "Lu Jing! The stakes have all been stated, and you have ignored them so much. If there is a decisive battle at this time, if there is no 100% certainty, even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory. The Jin army will make a comeback in the coming year, how can our army resist the enemy! ”

"How can there be a reason for the battle formation to be invincible, and since a decisive battle has been formed, our army should immediately decide to fight to the death with the Jin army, annihilate this Jin army, and prevent it from escaping.

And now, since you Zhao Xun have occupied Feicheng, you should immediately join forces with the Marquis of Dingyang, and then defeat the outnumbered by the crowd, but you have avoided the important and neglected the safety of the Marquis of Dingyang, ignoring the overall situation of my Xianguo, what are your intentions! ”

Lu Jing was quite arrogant, but he made Zhao Xun speechless. Seeing that Zhao Xun did not refute, Lu Jing took advantage of the situation and said again:

"Since General Zhao is unwilling to save the Marquis of Ding Yang, then General Ben will lead his own troops to a decisive battle with the Jin army, hum!"

Lu Jing brushed his sleeves away, and left the Taishou Mansion angrily, and the angry Zhao Xun's teeth rattled:

"Someone!"

Zhao Xun shouted, and the soldiers outside the door walked in:

"What does the general command?"

"Hurry up and order the school military lang to come and see me!"

"No!"

The soldiers were ordered to retreat, and in a short time they went to the city.
