Although the army is numerous, in terms of overall quality, it is slightly inferior to Pei Jun.

In terms of the quality of the soldiers alone, there are very few people who can surpass Pei's army in these years, the main reason is that Pei Cai's branch is the main and auxiliary second army, and in addition, there are no other 369 and so on, all soldiers are worshiped the same every day, and the food is also good. Unlike the Qiang army, it is a first-class treatment for its own people, a first-class treatment for the elites of other ethnic groups, a first-class treatment for the Xiongnu, a first-class treatment for Zahu, and the worst treatment for the attached Jin people......

Basically, the Jin people in the army only have rough rice and pickles every day, and meat is rarely seen, and if it is not wartime, even brown rice may not be full.

This was also the norm of the feudal army at that time, unlike Pei Gai, who basically used the method of raising and training soldiers in later generations to ask his subordinates. Pei Wei and others persuaded many times that Ming Gong was too kind to his soldiers, and it was really not necessary to let them eat enough, so how much food could they save...... To tell the truth, if the military supplies were provided according to the custom, Pei Gai's dream of an army of 100,000 would have been completed long ago, and even if the Guanzhong War was over, he would have enough military food to supply 350,000 people to attack Pingyang.

But whether that kind of 350,000 people, with 20,000 troops in front, can still be the same as today, but occupy the initiative in just three quarters of an hour, then no one can say......

Moreover, psychologically, the generals of the Jin army originally underestimated the Jin army, which led to Guo Quan's lifelessness, as well as Guo Rong and Zhang Si's improper command, which led to a small setback before the battle.

The main reason is that since the formation of this army, the Jin army it has faced has basically been able to fight more with less, and it is rare to meet opponents - the only thing that gave them a headache was probably only the Duan Xianbei. Therefore, in the eyes of the generals of the Jin army, although the Jin army in Yunguan was capable of fighting and had defeated Liu Cang's 200,000 male division, it was estimated that Liu Cang's command was unfavorable, and the reason for the lack of grain and straw in the army. No matter how strong the Jin army is, how strong can it be? Moreover, in terms of the formation, the number of them is far less than mine.

Only Shi Hu didn't dare to underestimate Pei Gai, but he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, but it was also inconvenient for him to repeatedly preach Mr. Pei's wisdom in front of the generals, and asked General Chu to be cautious - doesn't that mean that the main general is cowardly before the battle? How can this battle be fought?

Therefore, the general view of the Qianjun army before was that the "Liangzhou Horse" was powerful and difficult to attack, so it could only be guarded against with spear formations; Zhen Sui and his subordinates are powerful, but fortunately, it is estimated that there are only a few hundred people. As long as I can take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's cavalry not moving, break through its formation first, and then encircle it back, and assist General Shi to defeat Zhen Sui, then the enemy's general trend has gone, and even if the cavalry comes out, it can only have the effect of covering the retreat.

Whoever wants to make contact with it as soon as they feel a lot of pressure, the Jin army is not only brave, but also full of physical strength, with tacit understanding, the two wings of the Jin array are forced to retreat.

Seeing this, Guo Mo knew that the time had come, so he immediately waved the flag and summoned Liu Guang.

Liu Guang hurriedly led more than 1,000 cavalry to kill from the flank, intending to break through the formation, but saw that the other party had already arranged a spear infantry formation to the side, and the spears were all in the forest, and there was almost no gap to take advantage of. So Liu Guang divided his headquarters into more than a dozen squads, and took turns to gallop fifty paces away from the front of the array, and at the same time drew his bow and released arrows, trying to shoot the spearmen.

To tell the truth, although they are all elite cavalry, after all, the cavalry bow is soft, and it is difficult to shoot accurately, especially in the face of a dense array of spears, the actual killing effect is not very good. But the spear formation is on the defensive, and as long as the opponent does not cover his head and deliberately hit the tip of his spear, the natural momentum will be weaker - because the distance is fifty paces, the enemy can shoot you, you can't reach the enemy, even if the spear is thrown as a javelin, there are few wrestlers who can throw thirty steps away.

Therefore, the spear formation against the cavalry requires the cooperation of other arms, or there are also cavalry to force the enemy cavalry back, or there are infantry archers who take the opportunity to greatly kill and damage the enemy cavalry, or there are other infantry formations from the left and right to compress the activity space of the enemy cavalry, otherwise the momentum will not last long. The problem is that the Jin army on this wing is struggling to fight against the Jin army in front of them, and when they are frustrated and weak, how can they have the energy to deploy troops in time to reinforce the spear array?

It was Liu Guang who led the Jin cavalry to shuttle back and forth in the spear array for only two times, and the spear array was chaotic. More than a dozen people fell from the arrows, and the rest of the cowards shrank back, and the brave wanted to move forward, and the originally neat array immediately scattered, and at a glance, the spear tip was like a thorn, and there were ...... in either direction

A team of Jin cavalry immediately took the opportunity to rush forward and try to destroy the spear array. Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Si finally reacted, and sent a team of archers to help in time, and a burst of dense rain of feather arrows forced the Jin cavalry to retreat. But seeing that the chaotic spear array could not be reorganized in a short period of time, this letter was reported to the formation, Zhang Si couldn't help but panic - if the spear formation on the flank was completely crushed by the Jin cavalry, it would be able to go straight into our department, and no one would be able to stop those "Liangzhou horses" at that time!

The general was in turmoil, and the front-line command was even more sluggish, Guo Yu took the opportunity to organize a fierce charge, and forced the army back more than ten steps, killing no less than 100 people. At this point, the left flank of Qianzhi was completely chaotic, some of the soldiers turned around and fled, and Zhang Si slashed several people, but it was difficult to stop the defeat and retreat.

The Shi Hu on the front was before this, he summoned the elite and launched a counter-assault in the face of Zhen Sui, which actually caused Zhen Sui himself to suffer two spear wounds and staggered back - after all, from the beginning of the official confrontation, he had already fought in front of the battle, and after a short rest, he came forward again, and his physical strength was somewhat reduced.

Shi Hu took advantage of this opportunity to restrain his troops and horses, slowly retreated, and even had time to divide hundreds of life forces to the west, temporarily stopping Zhang Si's defeat. Seeing this, Guo Mo ordered the three armies not to pursue, so he regrouped in place, replaced the tired pawns, and put the new army on the front line.

The two sides temporarily disengaged, but it was only half a meal, and then the drums began again, and the battle was again in one place. Pei should point to the battlefield on the lookout and ask Pei Xiong: "What do you think?" Pei Xiong said: "The army is indeed capable of fighting, Shi Hu also has the talent of a general, if our army does not have a good cavalry strategy, I am afraid it will be difficult to win." ”

In other words, according to Pei Xiong's opinion, 6,000 Pei troops plus 2,000 ancestral troops can fight a draw with twice as many troops on the plain. But if you add the elite cavalry with the "Liangzhou Horse" as the main force, this battle has a lot to win.

As for Shi Hu, he readjusted his deployment, assigned more troops and horses to the flanks to intercept the Jin cavalry, and the frontal military formation was also arranged more tightly, but he begged to be cautious and wait for the opportunity to win. Zhen Sui, Guo Yu, Yao Yizhong and others repeatedly assaulted, but it was difficult to break the array. On the contrary, Guo Yu was contemptuous for a while, and one stood out before, almost surrounded by the army, Guo Shengjie personally raised his spear and went into battle, and finally rescued his subordinates.

When the battle was in full swing, it was reported that another army approached the battlefield from the east side, that is, it passed around the city and rushed straight to the Jin camp - that was Guo Tai's department who went to Yang County to rob.

Guo Mo was shocked when he heard the report, but he was afraid that it was an ambush set by Shi Hu in advance, and he urgently ordered the troops to temporarily stop the forward momentum, and he personally led a group of soldiers and horses to meet Guo Tai. Guo Taisuo's department was not much, and it was a long journey, and when he first arrived at the battlefield, he was defeated at the first touch, and he fled around the city again. Guo Mo pursued and killed Guo Tai, approached the city moat, and immediately fired arrows from the city, separating the two armies.

After a long time, but there was a false alarm, Guo Sidao was deeply depressed, and after returning to the battle, he ordered all the troops to attack together.

But at this time, the two armies had been fighting fiercely for nearly two hours, and the soldiers were tired, but the Qian side was still on the defensive, and the Jin army also attacked him without moving. Only Liu Guang's cavalry attacked against hundreds of cavalry, killing and wounding a large number of people, and then broke through two spear formations in a row, still threatening the flank of the Qiang army.

Shi Hu personally led his troops to the right flank, helped Zhang Si, forced Liu Guang to retreat with a strong bow and crossbow, and then ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops - this battle has no chance of winning, and it is meaningless to fight again, so it is better to stop.

The Jin army pursued until the front of the fortress, and the new force that was highlighted by the Jin army came to the base, and the Jin situation was slightly frustrated, and they had to retreat. The battle began at the beginning of Chen, and ended at noon, each counted the casualties, the Jin people were killed and wounded nearly a thousand, and the Jin army must have exceeded a thousand, and the proportion of battle dead and seriously injured was also higher than that of the Jin soldiers.

——————————

Shi Hu was included in the account, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but roar: "Has Guo Quan ever died?" If he is not dead, he will be brought to me for disposal, and his head must be beheaded to make an example! ”

The generals persuaded one after another, Guo Rong and Guo Tai also hurriedly interceded for Guo Quan, saying that he was seriously injured, and his life was still difficult to protect, and he was really unbearable to be a general's thunderous anger - in fact, the young man had rough skin and thick flesh, and Zhen Sui's knife was not deep, and theoretically after a break of ten days and a half months, he could jump alive again, where is there any danger to his life?

Chao Zan also said: "Looking at today's battle, the Jin army is indeed brave, that is, without General Xiao Guo, there is no order to go forward, and it will be difficult to win...... implication of the words, although Guo Quan disobeyed the military order and should indeed be punished, but today's setback of the whole army and his rash actions may not have anything to do with it......

Shi Hu couldn't help but sigh and said, "I know Pei Xian...... Pei Wenyu is more wise, that is, the right marquis is also afraid of him, but he doesn't know that he is like a strong soldier - it is really a big trouble for my family! ”

Chao Zanjie advised: "The general should be careful not to be decadent. In a certain way, Zhen Sui is the first fierce general among the Jin people, then his department must be brave, and Pei should come to the aid from Chang'an, and the rate should also be elite. Our army is different, and it is reasonable that if 20,000 soldiers and horses move south, it will be difficult to defeat Pei's army head-on......"

Shi Hu shook his head and said, "Qing Yan is yes, but ...... If you come to our army to select with the quality of the Jin army in person, you may get 3,000 people? "You said that Pei Jun is all elite, so we can't win, this is reasonable, but the question is the same elite, he can take out nearly 10,000 people, how much can I take? Three thousand people are up to the sky.

Guo Rongnai said: "Pei should get the land of Yong and Qin, and there is Liangzhou Zhang as his backup, and he destroyed Liu Cang before, and the morale is strong, so the soldiers and horses are strong, needless to say." How can I compare it with the death of the state and the state? ”

Let's return to the pile, but it's just the land of the four counties of Taiyuan, Xinxing, Leping, and Xihe - Xihe County has not yet taken all of them - and if you want to select the elite, you naturally can't compare with Pei Gai in the two states. If you add the general of the party, the elite can reach half of the Pei army, plus the king of Zhao in Hebei and General Kong in Youzhou, tens of thousands of such elites can also be selected - Ming Gong does not have to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.

Shi Hu listened to the generals' explanations, and his heart was a little calmer, and then he sighed again: "It's hateful that Liu Yao refused to open the city to echo...... Even if the Hu army can't fight, it can still contain some of the Jin divisions, so that my frontal pressure will be reduced. What Qing and others said, although it is reasonable, but now that I stop in the land of Banzhou, King Zhao and General Xuan will not come to help within ten months, how can this battle have a turnaround? ”

The generals looked at each other, and no one could come up with any good ideas. They consciously can't win against Pei Jun, there are two key points: first, the duel on the plains, there is no danger to be feared, only the brave wins, which is not tricky; Unless the enemy general is really weak and the command is ineffective, or our army is numerous enough to encircle the enemy - unfortunately, as far as today's battle is concerned, the above two points are all nonsense.

Second, the enemy has an elite cavalry, which is enough to make up for the lack of infantry, and on the contrary, it restricts our army, and it is impossible to carry out large-scale troop movements.

So it's really pointless to fight this battle again, it's a small setback today, what will be the result of two more days, you can think of it with your toes.

Chao Zan pondered for a while, and advised Shi Hu to say: "General, if you think you should retreat, you will retreat, don't lose the overall situation because of small profits......"

Then he explained: "The so-called small profiteer, Pingyang also." I am here to save Pingyang, and King Yong's soldiers and grains of rice are not with me, but I can only sit and watch me win with the Jin people, and even if the Jin people are broken, he may not be willing to accept me into the city, if you want to get Pingyang, you still need to attack. However, even if we can break through the Jin Kou in person, does our army still have the strength to attack Pingyang?

"As for the overall situation, the Jin people have a deep blood feud with the Liu family, Pei should come here, he will get Pingyang, and he will never retreat first. And if I entangle with it for a long time, as he said, Tuoba may send troops to attack Jinyang, if Jinyang is lost, the party cannot be guaranteed, then the east of Taihang will no longer be owned by Zhao......

"The general went south to rescue Pingyang this time, and there was no order from King Zhao, so if he lost the abandoned land, King Zhao would not let the general go. The general thinks twice. ”

Shi Hu frowned, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Pingyang Fu County, close to the West River, if it is obtained by the Jin people, it will be very disadvantageous to me." ”

Guo Rong hurriedly said: "If it is my family's land, it is natural that the ruler cannot be conceded, but Pingyang was originally owned by the Liu family, although I am a country, in fact, if it is an enemy country, it is not a pity to abandon it today." ”

Chao Zan glanced at him, and then persuaded Shi Hu deeply: "Although Pingyang is Yunfu County, it is since Liu ...... When the first emperor was there, he fished in the dry water, and carved the people, resulting in many barren fields and empty treasury, so I took it, but it was not beneficial. On the contrary, if the Jin people get Pingyang, they will not be able to stabilize the people's hearts and resume production unless they are three or five years old, so Pei should naturally stop here, and dare not go north to Xihe and Taiyuan in the near future, so as to facilitate the training and accumulation of our army.

"Moreover, if I retreat, and the Jin people can't return Pingyang, if Pingyang, the Son of Heaven will either be captured or driven away, then the Liu family will no longer exist. We just persuaded King Zhao to take the throne and plan the world with the banner of righteousness! ”

When all the generals heard this, they were all surprised and delighted, and they all focused their eyes on Shi Hu's face.

Shi Hu gritted his teeth and said, "I naturally hope to overturn such a stubborn court and make Uncle Kezheng the throne." However, if I retreat and the Jin people can't give up chasing after me, what is good? ”

Chao Zan said with a smile: "Pei should want to win Pingyang, not Jinyang, and his troops are insufficient, how can he chase after him?" Don't worry, general. Then he suggested: "We can move all the people of Puzi, Yong'an and other counties north to enrich Taiyuan." ”

Shi Hu thought about it again and again, and finally slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, when I return to Jinyang, I will personally train one or two thousand elites, and then compete with Mr. Pei!" ”
