Chapter 33: Breaking the Siege

Zhen Sui and Wang Ze led the army from the south gate of Dalicheng to stealthily go out, cross the Shangluo River, and then fold along the river bank, first marching to the northwest, and then going back and pointing to the north.

When the army marched north, it always maintained a distance of about ten miles from Shangluoshui, and it was sheltered by river embankments and woods, and it was impossible to see it from the east bank. Hu rode to explore the horses in the east of Shangluoshui patrol, occasionally there were those who dared to cross to the west of the river, and their number was few, all of them were surrounded and annihilated by the Jin army rangers, and they did not let go of a person and a horse to return to the east of the river.

Of course, this is also somewhat risky, after all, after marching for several days in a row, it is very unlikely that it will completely avoid the eyes and ears of the Hu people. However, according to the plan, one day after the army left the city, Chen An also led 3,000 Qinzhou soldiers out of the north gate, falsely playing the flag, and the momentum was huge, pointing directly at Haoyang, believing that it could attract the main attention of the Hu army. People are often prone to preconceived ideas, which leads to a blind eye, then Hu Qi has already detected the Jin army out of the city and marching north, and will come from all directions, hoping to detect the number of his army, the main generals, and the speed of the army as soon as possible, so that Liu Cang knows, at that time, maybe no one will deliberately run to the west bank of Shangluoshui.

Let's say that Liu Cangzheng wanted to stay with Qiao Tai to monitor Haoyang, so he led the army to the south to Dali and Chang'an, and suddenly got a report, saying that the north gate of Dali was opened, and the Jin people went out of the city and went straight to the north. Even if Liu Cangdang hesitated again, he discussed with the generals whether to suspend the march and continue to set up an ambush near Haoyang.

Liu Ji advised: "Brother must not hesitate, if the order is changed overnight, the soldiers are at a loss, and the army's heart will be chaotic!" "The big guys' luggage has been packed, and the grain and straw have been loaded, and at this time you say that you will change your plan, stay in place, or reassign instructions, and set up ambushes in all directions, which will inevitably cause chaos. The army is in turmoil, how can it be possible to beat the Jin people?

The rare majority of the generals this time agreed with Liu Ji's opinion. Liu Cang asked: "That is, if I go south, defeat Zhen Sui on the road, and enter Dali, and Guo Mo comes to save Haoyang, what will I do?" ”

Tian Song explained: "Fish and bear's paws, you can't have both, Your Highness wants to go down to Dali, why worry about Haoyang?" Since Zhen Sui is out of the city, Dali must be empty, and he can take the opportunity to take it, get Dali, restore the ferry port in the east, and take Chongquan and Lotus Spoon in the west, so that Feng Yi and Chang'an can be divided into two places. When the time comes, either the north of the imperial Pei Cai, or the south of Chang'an, the first hand is in me, and the Jin people are powerless. If we use the plan of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, I am afraid that there will be insufficient food! ”

Liu Cang finally made up his mind, so the army was divided into four ways, coordinated with each other, and killed the south overwhelmingly.

Lu Songduo wanted to wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, so he asked the order to say: "I often hear that Zhen Sui is the bravest person in the Jin Dynasty, please take the first place to compete with him, and it is necessary to take his head and dedicate it to His Royal Highness in front of the play!" Liu Cang also admired his courage, so he ordered him to lead his troops to lead the whole army.

Besides, Chen An, who led the Qinzhou soldiers hesitantly, did not dare to advance quickly, and ordered Ma Yuan to travel for half a day to investigate the movements of the Hu army. When he heard that Hu Jun was heading south, he should turn around and return to Dali. The tribe advised: "Hu Jun rides more, and I take more steps, if there is no queen, I am afraid that he will catch up, what can I do?" ”

Chen An said to let the subordinates withdraw first - "I will personally lead you to wait for the queen of the palace!" ”

When he came, he once passed by a tun that had been evacuated, and there were still some earthen ramparts and wooden fences, so Chen An led 200 horsemen to defend it. Lu Songduo took the lead in chasing, and when he saw the banner of the Jin people from afar, he immediately waved his army and pounced on it. He rode a horse, danced a spear in his hand, took the lead, and shouted: "Han general Lu Songduo is here, I have heard of Zhen Suiyong's name, do you dare to compete with a certain one?" ”

Chen An was angry when he heard this, although he admired Zhen Sui's bravery, not under himself, but-do you only know one Zhen Sui? I really underestimate my Jin family hero! Immediately, he stabbed his left sword and right spear, rode out of the base, and shouted: "Why General Zhen? A certain Longshang Chen An, come to take the head of General Hu! ”

Under the cover of their respective generals, the whip and horse hedged, and under the slashing of the blades, Lu Songduo felt that his arms were slightly numb, and he said in his heart that this person seemed to be thin, but he had a lot of strength! Chen An's name, but I have also heard of it, since he is here, it can be seen that Pei should have all won Qinzhou...... Even if you can't defeat Zhen Sui, if you can get Chen An's head, it will be a great achievement!

The horses circled, and in an instant, there were more than a dozen rounds. Although the Hu army was numerous, there were not many troops who followed Lu Songduo's chargeβ€”most of them had been folded in Longting a few days before, or had been cut down by Liu Cang after returningβ€”Chen An's troops were brought from Longshang, and they were all brave men of Qinzhou who had followed him all year round, so they fought on the opposite side, but the Jin people temporarily gained the upper hand.

Chen An knew that Hu Jun still had a large team behind, so he didn't dare to fight for a long time, so he sold a flaw and lured Lu Song to stab with a spear, he first covered it with a big knife in his left hand, and then went straight into his chest with a spear in his right hand. Lu Songduo was slightly inferior to Chen An in terms of martial arts, and seeing that there was no way to dodge, he had to fold his waist and lie on his back on horseback, and the enemy spear could be grazed from the end of his nose, which frightened him into a cold sweat.

Chen An praised: "Good riding skills!" The spear pressed down and slammed it towards Lu Song's multi-faceted door. It's a pity that it was a stab, a temporary change of move, and the strength is not very large, if there is time to raise the spear shaft first, and then pull it down fiercely, it is estimated that Lu Songduo will have his head split on the spot. Rao was like this, and Lu Songduo was also bruised from his left cheek to his right forehead, and after the two horses were stirrupped, he was so frightened that he did not dare to fight again, turned the horse's head, and fled immediately.

The main general fled, the Hu army was defeated, Chen An waited to lead the troops to retreat, and suddenly saw another Hu cavalry galloping, the first general, golden helmet and golden armor, wearing a big red cloak, seemed to be a dignitary. Chen An pressed the knife and spear, picked up the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow in the face, which would hurriedly shrink his neck, and the arrow hit the helmet, which immediately shocked the Venus in front of him......

Chen An released another arrow, and hit the big flag behind the general, so startled that Hu soldiers rushed to cover it. Chen An couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and then roared: "If you dare to take a step closer, General Chen will not be merciful under the arrow!" ”

The coming general was none other than Jin Kang, who was shocked when he saw this and didn't dare to chase after him. Only then did Chen An lead the cavalry, abandon the empty tun, spread the horse's hooves, and chased after his own army.

Liu Cang later got a report, saying that the Jin people had withdrawn, but after Chen An and other hundreds of horsemen broke off, they defeated Lu Songduo and narrowly shot Jin Kang. He couldn't help but hesitate, and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Zhen Sui?" "Tanma reported that the enemy army did raise the banner of General Wuwei, but he was not seen in personβ€”probably he withdrew first, right?

After a short time, Lu Songduo fled in embarrassment, and Liu Cang was furious, so he ordered him to be imprisoned in the army, and after he broke through the Jin, he would be punished.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Cang ordered the front army to continue to chase, and he set up a large camp on the plain. Immediately, I got a report, saying that the Tanma who went to the east bank of Shangluoshui to reconnoiter two days ago did not return, for some reason. Liu Cang was shocked at this time: "I am in the middle of the plan, Zhen will go north from Luoxi!" ”

The generals all said that it doesn't matter where he goes, if he goes, Dali City will definitely be empty, and we can go directly to Dali - Your Highness, don't hesitate anymore, the two ends of the first rat. Liu Cang said that I didn't change my mind, but - "If Zhen retinues the main force of Dali and goes around to Haoyang, and fights with Pei Gai inside and outside, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Qiao to resist...... If Guo Mo comes again, what should he do? Should I strictly order Qiao Cheqi to stick to its stronghold and tie up the Jin people to death, or should I simply withdraw the siege of Haoyang and call it south to join me? ”

Wang Teng, the general of the right chariot cavalry, said: "General Qiao is ordered to defend it, or he can tie up the Jin people, so that I can successfully conquer the defense of Dali City." If he is summoned to meet, Pei should go out of the city and chase after him, I am afraid that it will be more ferocious and less auspicious. ”

Tian Song also said: "When the army was sent to take the Puban ferry in a hurry, I thought that the army would retreat and ensure the transportation of grain. ”

Liu Cang bowed his head, and immediately instructed Liu Ji, saying that I shouldn't have stopped you from conquering the ferry a few days ago, but since you are familiar with that place, brother should go and get the ferry.

Besides, although Liu Cang still set up his own Daxu under the city of Haoyang, and the main forces in the south also went their separate ways to confuse the Jin army, but this kind of trickery couldn't hide from Tao Kan's eyes after all. Tao Kan saw it in the city, and hurriedly came to see Pei Gai, it was not good, Liu Cang understood that he had come over, and he had led the main force south.

"I wanted to wait for the people of Pinyang and Dali to come, and they parted ways to attack their bases, but now they will move the main force south, I am afraid it will be General Zhen. If General Zhen can retreat to Dali, he can be safe, if he is accidentally defeated by the Hu army on the plain, Hu Dali threatens Chang'an, and the situation will turn in an instant! ”

Pei should ask, then what should we do?

Tao Kan said: "There are two ways to deal with it. If we can break through, we will summon General Guo to cosmetic the back of Hu's army, so that they will not dare to storm Dali ......"

Pei Gai asked, "What about adventure?" ”

Tao Kan said: "We must also break the Hulei first, send a section to take the Haoyang Ferry, and then the generals will go south, guard the Pujin Ferry, and cut off the road to the west." Then join forces with General Guo, that is, on the plains, and fight Hu Kou! I'm afraid that Dali won't be able to keep ...... for a long time."

Pei Cai thought about it for a while, and then said: "I believe that Zhen Sui will not suffer a big setback, and he will be able to protect Dali De'an." Rather take the risk! ”

Immediately gathered the troops, hoping to go out of the city that night and storm the western base of the Hu army. Pei Gai stood in front of the army, crossed his arms and shouted: "Liu Cang, who came to invade the king's land, has now fallen into my plan and went south." In front of the Hu army, there are only thousands of people, if they can break through their bases in one fell swoop, they will definitely be able to smash Liu Cang's back. In this way, 100,000 Hu Kou can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the society will be restored, but it will only be a matter of a few years!

"Qing and others are mostly farmers, ploughing between the ridges and acres, in order to satisfy their families, and Hu Kou has risen one after another, trampling on Qing and other fields, mutilating Qing and other neighbors, and even parents, wives and children, but with Hu Kou, all have a common hatred! The eldest husband was born in the world, and he does not seek wealth and nobility, but if he can't even protect his wife and children, how can he live in the world? Now that I have this opportunity, my own hatred, the hatred of my clansmen, and the hatred of my country, I can repay it in one day, and I will be ashamed for ten years. There is no retreat in this battle, and those who dare to retreat will not be forgiven! ”

Then he glanced at the generals, and finally fell on a person, and asked him: "I am among the ten thousand armies, and there are two or three cavalry guards, are you willing to lead my troops to defeat the enemy first?" ”

This will not be him, it is the Qiang chief Yao Yizhong is also.

Yao Yizhong originally led 300 people of the same clan to Chang'an to join Pei Gai, Pei Gai split his people, but still retained more than 100 Qiang pawns and served as his own subordinate with him. These Qiang soldiers are all Yao Yongrui, who were ordered by Pei Gai to wear Jin uniforms, speak Chinese, and even know Chinese characters, and after a period of training, they have basically integrated into the Jin soldiers - this is in the same pot to get rice, big and small, in fact, it is very easy.

Yao Yizhong himself also received the title of General Weiyuan, although he only had five grades, but he knew very well in his heart that this five-rank general who followed Da Sima was much more glorious than some Di and Qiang chieftains, such as military beards, Tuyan, etc., and even third-grade vains of four or even three grades, and had a bright future. As a self-disciplined, he is often taught by Pei Gai - in fact, it is brainwashing - and seeing Pei Jun's strict law, neat troops, well-trained, and well-armed, he has long felt that this thigh is right.

The only regret is that as the deputy governor of the Da Sima Buqu Battalion, there are not many opportunities to directly lead the troops into battle, it is estimated that the Dadu Governor does not know himself very well and trusts himself, so he must train his soldiers and horses, and then find opportunities to show his loyalty, so as to have the opportunity to lead a part and gallop on the battlefield.

This time, after listening to General Pei Cai's point and saying that he would lead the main force of the Qu Battalion to attack Hu Lei first, Yao Yizhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and swore that "the minister will not fall into the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor, and he will make Hu Kou hear the name of the Metropolitan Governor, and the child will not dare to cry at night!" ”

Pei's battalion is still a small formation, about 3,000 people, and its Chinese Lang led a third of the cavalry away, and now he is in Pinyang, ordering it to temporarily be under the command of Beigong Chun - if this order is not given, it is estimated that even Guo Mo will not be able to suppress Wen Lang - the remaining two-thirds of the losses in the previous battle are large, there are still 1,500 people left, Pei should only leave Tao De and other more than a dozen old pawns to guard, and the rest were handed over to Yao Yizhong.

The distribution was established, and immediately a drum sounded, the west gate was wide open, and Pei's army rushed out of the city gate one after another.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Hu Han's left cavalry general Qiao Tai was ordered to stay behind, he estimated that the Jin army might be out of the city, but the number of troops at hand was limited, and it was impossible to defend the city wall on three sides, so he deliberately left Liu Cang Daxu in the north of the city, his banner in the west of the city, and gathered all the main forces in the south of the city.

In Qiao Tai's mind, Pei Gai is unlikely to come out of the north of the city, and he will go out of the west of the city and out of the south of the city, each in the number of five or five. If he goes out of the west of the city, he is planning to meet Guo Mo, purely to escape; If you go out of the south of the city, there will be traces of the heel and chase the main force of our army, not wanting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to successfully capture Dali. So, what exactly will Pei Gai do?

After much thought, Qiao Tai decided that Pei should go west and join Guo Mo - is he really so bold to chase after the main force of our army? There is a large plain in the south, there is no danger to defend, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to the army, and it is estimated that the Jin army will be completely defeated. However, Pei Caiduo is deceitful, and if he wants to go west, he will not kill from the west gate, but will try to defeat me first......

Unexpectedly, a drum sounded in the city, and then a sergeant came to report, saying that the Jin people opened the west gate and came out! Qiao Tai was taken aback when he heard the news, and said in his heart, did I think Pei should be too smart, or did I think of him too timidly? Is he really planning to go all the way west, or does he actually want to go south and go west first? Hurriedly led his troops around to the west of the city to fight.

Just such a misjudgment, which led to a slight delay in the effort, Yao Yizhong had already led Pei's battalion to penetrate the Hulei in the west of the city and break through the siege!
