Chapter 20: The people should not be taken lightly

Shi Hu drove those farmers who were forcibly brought in for military service to take the lead in attacking the Jin army camp, the main purpose was to use the endless waves of people to consume the Jin soldiers' physical strength and arrows, and to rely on corpses to fill the Jin trenches, and even pave the way to go straight to the Jin base.

In the feudal era, it was a time of war, and most of the generals on both sides of Jin and Zhao regarded human life as a mustard - Pei Cai's three armies of Sima could only be said to be slightly better - and Shi Hu's greed and ferocity were the first in the world. In the original history, this person was notorious, and the Book of Jin said that he "did cruel and cruel...... Descend the city and trap the fortress, do not judge the good and evil, pit and behead the warrior and the girl, and there are few relics......"

It's just that other generals still know how to distinguish between friend and foe, and they will always show a little mercy in the cities and people in their own territory, and kill the people in other countries, and there is also a consideration to weaken the enemy's production potential - because only the people can live and farm in peace to supply military supplies, and fools don't understand this truth.

Shi Hu is different, no matter whether he is friend or foe, mortal life is like an ant in his eyes. Who said that their own people can't kill without permission? Anyway, I got tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and I can eat them for a while, and I will talk about it later. Moreover, the order given to me by the King of Heaven is to destroy the edge and seize the enemy's cities and land, as for the development of production and the collection of tribute, that is what the scribes of the Xian stream should do, and it is my business!

The key Shi Hu saw that the road was narrow and it was difficult to overcome the Jin base, for fear that he would return from the south this time, and he would not be able to break into Pingyang County in an inch. Yesterday, Zhang Jackal tried to attack the Jin camp, and he had already found out that if he did not pay great sacrifices, even if two or three thousand Jin soldiers defended in danger, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would be difficult to overcome; And if you wait until the main force of the Jin army comes up from Pingyang, it is estimated that even if you pay a big price, it will still be difficult to succeed...... For now, time is of the essence, and in order to buy time, what is the pity of human life?

As long as we can break through the Jin camp and go down smoothly, then the room for maneuver will be much greater, our enemies are outnumbered, and it is impossible for Guanzhong to send reinforcements on a large scale before the autumn harvest, so there will be a great opportunity to break the enemy and restore Pingyang. Anyway, it won't be of much use to bring in these peasants temporarily, so let's just let them die heroically for my victory!

can use your corpse to pave the way for our emperor Zhao to seize the world, although he is still honored.

Shi Hu's decision is really not the result of careful consideration and repeated weighing, but pure instinct - Jin Lei is difficult to overcome, unless it is filled with human life, it is not much use human life, I have it here. So before Zhang Jackal returned to the camp to meet him, he had already sent people to return to the north, demanding that all the farmers be organized and driven up the mountain road.

The untrained peasants marched at an outrageous pace on the narrow mountain paths, but the soldiers were not relentless at all at the command of Shi Hu, and Yu Lu had already cut off hundreds of heads, forked them on the tips of spears, and used them to intimidate the peasants, forcing them to march hastily day and night, and in less than a day, they were directly approached to the fortress.

Seeing that the "Zhao soldiers" were approaching in the Jin formation, they immediately fired arrows from the left and right bases, and those farmers fell down like mowing grass......

If such a heavy blow were suddenly suffered on the flat ground, the untrained and unorganized peasants would inevitably flee in all directions, and it would be difficult to restrain and stop the real Zhao soldiers, who were only mixed in with less than a tenth of them. In the past, in Ningping City, Kuxian County, they had lost their fighting spirit, and the reason why the tens of thousands of unorganized Jin soldiers were surrounded by a small number of cavalry and did not dare to move, was because they would die if they broke through the siege, and fantasized that they would surrender or have a way to live. Today's situation is completely different, staying within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow will definitely die, and only by running back can you hope to escape.

However, the mountain path was too narrow, the queue was extremely crowded, and the mountain drove the follow-up farmers to continue to move forward regardless of it, so that those who were injured or frightened in front had no way to escape even if they wanted to, and could only be pushed forward by their comrades behind them...... A few of them tried to climb the cliffs on both sides, but they either fell down and were trampled into mud by the public, or they were shot alive by the arrows of the soldiers.

Pity those who are lodging, even if there is still a breath, they are quickly trampled to pieces.

When Yao Yizhong and his subordinates saw this situation, they were all terrified - they were most afraid of encountering an enemy who was not afraid of death, but these "enemies" in front of them were not afraid of death, but were forced to die, which was even more terrifying. The archers were forced to pull the bowstring repeatedly and shoot round after round of arrows, but after all, they were only auxiliaries, and their training intensity was limited, so it was impossible to aim accurately. Moreover, even if they were hit by several arrows in their bodies, even those who swallowed their breath, not only did not fall, but were pushed and shoved by the farmer behind them and continued to slide forward......

There are more and more dead corpses - farmers are human after all, they are afraid of death and greedy for life, it is people who will stimulate their intelligence and physical strength beyond ordinary ability when they are dying, and they gradually know how to hide behind corpses, and cover the arrows with the flesh and blood of others in order to save their own lives.

As for whether the person who died in front of him was a familiar person, whether he was a fellow villager, or even whether he was a relative, at this time, he couldn't care about it. The kindness of father and son, and the relatives of brothers, under the coercion of a sharp blade in the back and a rain of arrows in front, can only be left behind for the time being.

In this way, although the arrows did not stop, the momentum of Zhao Bing's forward surge was almost unaffected, one died and another, and the crowd was like a giant snake rushing forward, unstoppable......

Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhao Bing's narrow but thick torrent rushed into the first trench of the Jin side.

In the original plan, the three trenches in front of the battalion would be dug more than one person deep, but because the Zhao army suddenly killed, the Jin side was forced to dig only half of it, and hurriedly buried pointed stakes, but those who fell into it would definitely die. It's just that the height of the stake is limited after all, as long as one or two corpses are inserted, and then the person who jumps down behind them can be safe and sound...... No, in the actual battle that Yao Yizhong and others expected, these farmers wanted to step on the dead bodies that fell in front of them and climb over the trench, but before they could touch the opposite trench wall, dozens of feet would fall on their heads...... And so the corpses piled up layer by layer, until the trench was completely filled!

The first trench was less than thirty paces away from the fourth base on both sides, and it was difficult to hurt the enemy in the trench with covering shots, and if it was fired directly at the face, because the distance was too close, the power would be reduced. The soldiers in the base almost faced the poor farmers who were covered in blood, their faces hideous and distorted, and they almost did not look like human beings, and the dying light in the other party's eyes seemed to float to them in an instant...... Several archers were so frightened that they couldn't help but scream, dropped their weapons, turned around and ran. The military officials killed several people in a row, but they could not prohibit it.

The more than 100 regular soldiers on the front are all Yao Yizhong's personal soldiers, half of them are Yao Qiang people, who have been in battle for a long time, although they are also shocked when they see this, they will not flee from the desert. They each with their spears came out one after another, piercing through the peasants who were about to climb over the second trench. But although the person died, the corpse did not necessarily fall, and under the push of the people behind him, he continued to move forward with the shaft of the spear. The slender spear shaft gradually lost its strength, and broke one after another, and the Jin soldiers were forced to retreat step by step.

Amid the endless screams and groans, there was a sudden shout, and a pawn stepped on the farmer's corpse with a sword and shield in his hand, and rushed straight up to the nearest fort. When his person was still in mid-air and had nothing to rely on, Yao Yizhong shot an arrow in time and hit him in the ribs. The pawn fell down, half of his body lying on the base, but he was not dead, and while spitting blood, he poked out his knife and slashed weakly at the Jin pawn in front of him.

So several Jin army auxiliaries were so frightened that they shouted, abandoned their weapons and turned around, and escaped from the barrier without their lives.

Yao Yizhong's face turned blue, and his facial features were almost all crowded together - he had fought a hundred battles of life and death since he first entered the battle at the age of fourteen, and he had never fought such a battle. What to do? No matter how advantageous the location is and how sophisticated the weapons are, they can't stop this pure filling with human life!

The dead are pushed by the living, and the living turn into a bloody corpse in an instant, like a torrent surging, and the trenches are flattened and the barriers collapsed......

It is estimated that in a quarter or two more hours, Zhao Jun will enter the Jin camp, and by then these farmers who are already almost insane, even if they bite with their teeth and tear them with their hands, they will tear themselves and their subordinates into flesh and blood! Although there are more than 2,000 subordinates, after all, the auxiliary soldiers cannot be trusted, and in this case, the only one who can fight until the last moment is the more than 100 parts under his command - only a hundred or so can he resist the endless farmers who are driven forward by the soldiers?

For a moment, Yao Yizhong's mind seemed to sound the words that the Metropolitan Governor once said: "The people should not be taken lightly, that is, the farmer is stubborn, if there is no way to live, and he fights for his life, I am afraid that he will not be able to resist the ......" The special Metropolitan Governor is really right, but I probably will never be able to return to the Metropolitan Governor again!

——————————

Shortly before noon, a large group of peasants finally leveled the three trenches and rushed into the camp and the base.

When Shi Hu saw this situation on the mountain, he couldn't help but be happy and proud, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "Mr. Pei Zeng Yun, the people should not be taken lightly, that is, the farmer is stubborn, if there is no way to live, he will fight for his life, and it will be like a rushing stream and cannot be resisted - it is indeed a wise saying!" He immediately ordered Zhang Jackal to lead his troops forward, trying to quickly rush down the mountain and break into the plain.

But it's a pity that he made a mistake in his calculations, thinking that he had to rely on 4,000 corpses to pave the way to be able to break through the Jin army camp in front of him, and added more than 1,000 ...... But Shi Hu didn't take into account how much pressure the soldiers would be under when facing such a crowd that was dead but not stiff, meandering forward like a python......

Therefore, although the camp and the base of Jin are over, the farmers on the mountain road have not yet exhausted, they are still crowded and entangled, and they are driven forward by inertia. Zhang Jackal was in a hurry, so he ordered the soldiers to wield swords and spears to open a bloody path - anyway, the king of Taiyuan didn't take these lives seriously, so what pity did I have?

Finally dispersed the farmers in front of them, and the three thousand well-equipped Zhao soldiers finally broke into the Jin camp, but they did not stop for a moment, but continued to rush down the mountain. Zhang Jackal took the lead on foot - it was not easy to run horses on the mountain road, and it was too crowded, and it was easy to be pushed and fallen while riding a horse, so he simply walked - holding a riding spear to separate the flow of people, and he took the lead in going down.

But he had just stepped on the ground when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked up, he saw two light horsemen coming up from his left and right pockets. Zhang Jackal was taken aback, and he was anxious to stop, but he couldn't stop - the Zhao soldiers behind him were still hugging forward, because the order was to respond to the situation after the peace, to see whether to stand in battle and wait for the rear army, or to chase and kill the fleeing Jin soldiers.

Zhang Jackal was almost knocked down by the soldiers behind him, and in desperation, he could only grit his teeth and continue to rush forward. The cavalry attacking from the left and right drew their bows and released arrows, and Zhang Jackal hurriedly waved his cavalry spear, and the arrows fell one by one in the future.

In an instant, the enemy cavalry was in front of him. Zhang Jackal shouted, and the spear shook out, and he had already removed the blade of an enemy cavalryman, and then regained a spear, hitting it in the ribs. Immediately, the knight fell with a scream and hung upside down on the side of his mount - because he was stepping on the stirrup and could not get out in time. Zhang Jackal turned his body vertically, grabbed the saddle bridge with his left hand, and waited to turn over.

As long as I get on the horse, I will be safe, Lao Tzu crisscrosses several counties in Hebei, all relying on the war horse under the crotch and the riding spear in his hand, waiting for one or twenty people to get close!

The design is very beautiful, but he has just climbed on the back of the horse, and he has not been able to sit firmly, let alone kick away the original owner of this war horse, and suddenly a horse behind him accelerated to catch up, and immediately the knight shouted: "Good skills, and try Chen's knife!" With a knife, he slashed at Zhang Jackal's shoulder.

Zhang Jackal hurriedly turned half sideways, spotted the coming situation, and swept the spear in his hand upward, and opened the knife. He felt that his arms were shaken, and the tiger's mouth seemed to have been torn, and he couldn't help but say: "This person is so powerful, and he is by no means a vulgar ......" This thought has not yet flashed, although the opponent's knife was swung open, but there is still a spear in his hand, and he went straight into the middle palace, stabbed into it from the neck of Zhang Jackal, broke the trachea and throat, inserted the spine, and then pierced it straight out from the back of the head!

Zhang Jackal's eyes widened as the size of an egg, and he swallowed without saying a word.

——————————

One spear stabbed Zhang Jackal to death, naturally it was - the left knife and the right spear, Chen An, the invincible general of the Jin army who had been on the Long for more than ten years!

Not to mention that Shi Hu came so quickly, it was also greatly unexpected by Liu Yang, Chen An and others. Originally, it was planned that when Yao Yizhong would raise the Shannan camp to eight or nine points, and when it was about to be completed, five or six hundred regular soldiers would be stationed and one or two thousand regular soldiers would be sent to camp on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain as a countermeasure. Ke Chengxiang suddenly received an urgent letter from Yao Yizhong asking for help, counting the time, and estimated that the fourth base of the sandwich road, even the wall was only half a person high, let alone the completion of the roof......

Chen An immediately asked Liu Yang for an order, saying that the camp was not finished, and the thief army was dying, and it was estimated that Xiaoyao would not be able to hold it; And the thieves and the military are gathered, but he doesn't even have a plan to respond, once he is bitten by the enemy, even if he wants to retreat, it is quite difficult - unless he is attacked by the enemy, he will leave, but I don't think Xiao Yao is like such a cowardly person.

"For today's plan, the last general will lead the light cavalry to meet first, and then retreat into Yong'an City, waiting for the general to lead the main force to come to help."

Liu Yang thought so, so he handed over seventy percent of the light cavalry in the general—probably more than 300 horsemen—to Chen An, and ordered him to go to the aid first.

Chen An galloped day and night, and came faster than Yao Yizhong expected - he had been in Longshang for a long time after all, and he was good at cavalry. It is inconvenient for war horses to climb the mountain, Chen An relied on his good physical strength, and directly entered the camp on foot, and saw that this was the case, and the three trenches had been leveled and two of them, and he couldn't help but panic - I had also done things like catching good and driving forward, charging the enemy or attacking the city before, and I had never seen such a tragic situation today! Hurriedly beckoned Yao Yizhong to retreat - "I will bring the cavalry, I can cut off the queen for Qing!" ”
