After a great victory in the defense of Yuzhong, only more than 10,000 people of the 25,000 Qinzhou Han army escaped, and the others either died under the fire or died in the pursuit of the Liang army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, the army's heart is scattered, and it is very difficult to stop its resistance, just when the Liang army chased the death and chased the north, there was even a strange scene of the Liang army soldiers running with dozens of Han soldiers.

Cheng Dahu immediately wrote a letter in his hand, handed it to the scout and instructed: "Hurry up and send it to the Metropolitan Governor, Yuzhong is a great victory!" ”

The scout took the letter in his bosom and put it away, and rode his horse to the golden city. Because the path from Yuzhong to Didao has not yet been opened, and there are enemy towns along the way, so if you want to send a letter, you can only go around once, cross the river from Jincheng to Jinxing, and then cross the river from Jinxing again to Caohan, and then take Baiyun Road to Lintao.

At this time, Zhang Jun naturally didn't know that the Yuzhong Guard had already won an unbelievable victory, and at this time, he was facing Di Daojian City, so he could only stare dryly outside. There have been many generals who have persuaded Zhang Jun to use the method of ant attachment and try it first, but this suggestion was directly rejected by Zhang Jun. Di Dao's backhand equipment is very complete, and the defenders are no less than the Liang army after being strengthened, and the city is strong. In this case, what is the difference between attacking the city and sending it to death?

But it is not a way to drag it down, and there is news that Liu Yao, the emperor of the Han State, is furious and has ordered the removal of all posts of the Qinzhou assassin Hu Yanyu, and put him in prison pending trial, and replaced him by Chen An, the county guard of Nan'an. On the other hand, the Chinese army of the Han State was also mobilizing, and it seemed that there was a posture of sending troops to the west.

Zhang Jun said to his subordinates at the military meeting: "It is a certain thing for the Han State to dispatch the Chinese army, and the situation in Longxi is so grim, if Liu Yao ignores it, it will be a strange thing." ”

Chen Zhen, who joined the army, said: "I'm afraid that under our garrison fortified city, the Huns will come to copy our back road, if that's the case, it will be dangerous." ”

Wang Meng said: "The Chinese army of the Xiongnu is very strong, and it is not comparable to these Han troops. They were mostly cavalry and were fast. Therefore, Di Dao can't wait any longer, and the Metropolitan Governor still needs to make a decision early. ”

The others also crossed their hands and pleaded: "I hope that the Metropolitan Governor will make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Zhang Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "On this expedition, you and others have done their best and achieved brilliant results. Our conquest army came all the way east, invincible, and did not taste a defeat, which is the work of all the soldiers. ”

When everyone heard this, they all got up and said, "Thanks to the Metropolitan Governor's control!" ”

Zhang Jun waved his hand and explained: "I just said this, not to boast, but to say that our strategic intention of cutting the land west of Taoshui has been achieved, and it is really an unexpected joy to be able to defeat Tao and conquer Di Dao." Therefore, I will not let the soldiers die in this battle, even if I really want to fight, I have to wait for the rear to send the torsion stone machine and the divine arm crossbow, otherwise I would rather retreat. ”

It is not easy for Zhang Jun to pull up more than 10,000 people, with the population of Guangwu County and the current economic level, this has reached the limit, if there is a war in the short term, it is not impossible to expand to 20,000 people, but it must not last, otherwise it will hurt the people's strength.

To tell the truth, the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not an era that can be judged by common sense, and the first priority of each country is not agriculture and culture and education, but the expansion of military forces. Just like today's Xiongnu Han State and Qianshi Zhao State, three or five hundred thousand people can be mobilized in any war, and if it is a major war involving the rise and fall of the country, it is not difficult to reach one million total troops.

But Zhang Jun didn't want to do this, five out of three or three out of one was already the limit of the ancient dynasty, and it was destined not to last long, and the way to long-term peace and stability was not to be exhausted. Therefore, the strength of Guangwu County is maintained at about 15,000 people, he will not easily increase his troops, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are the most important is to win more battles with less, history has shown very clearly.

Seeing that the attitude of the Metropolitan Governor was so resolute, it was not easy to persuade again, and everyone stared at each other, and there was no other way but to continue to wait.

As the saying goes, no book is written by coincidence, just when the Chinese army's tent had just fallen silent, I heard a soldier outside rushing quickly, kneeling on the ground and reporting: "Dadu Governor, there is a fleet of ships going down the Taoshui, saying that the equipment of Guangwu County has arrived ······."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed, and Zhang Jun stood up even more vigorously, and said as he walked out: "Everyone come with me, and see how many sharp weapons are sent from the rear!" ”

Hula, everyone rushed to the dock, only to see that on the wide flatbed boats, large wooden instruments were piled up on the shore under the handling of the people. The Army Planning and Guards Department has done a good job of handover, and there is a special person in charge of the inventory.

"The Grand Duke!"

A familiar voice came, Zhang Jun looked over, and saw that it was Suo Sanjie standing on the boat and waving hello.

The boat that Suo Sanjie was on had not docked at the back, it was not loaded, and it was full of people. When he saw Zhang Jun, he couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up directly.

Zhang Jun also smiled and waved his hand, causing more people on the boat to clasp their fists and bow. Speaking of Suo Sanjie, he no longer has a body of fat, but instead has a lean energy from the inside out.

As soon as the boat arrived on the shore, Suo Sanjie jumped ashore, walked quickly to Zhang Jun, and bowed and said: "I will be the supervisor to order Suo Sanjie to meet the governor!" ”

Zhang Jun helped him up, first looked up and down, then beat the other party's chest, and deliberately said with a straight face: "What a Quan Bin, why did you leave your post without asking for instructions!" ”

Suo Sanjie until Zhang Jun didn't mean to blame, but he didn't dare to be ambiguous, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, presented it to Zhang Jun, and said with a smile: "Governor, please see, this is the approval of Song Zeqing and his father." ”

Zhang Jun fixed his eyes and looked at it, and sure enough, he pointed to Suo Sanjie and said: "Zeqing is your friend, and he is Lingzun in governance, so it's too convenient to ask for this batch of documents, right?" ”

Suo Sanjie laughed and said to Zhang Jun: "I miss the governor of the capital and want to kill the enemy side by side with you day and night." In addition, the soldiers of the new weapons are not good at handling, and the lowly officials also deliberately bring the soldiers who are already skilled to help. ”

"Good!" Zhang Jun shouted loudly and said with a smile: "I also want to go into battle with Quan Bin again!" ”

At this time, everyone else also came up, and everyone greeted each other.

Wang Meng suddenly asked: "Suo Jian Ling, you are from Guangwu, do you know what the situation is in Yuzhong?" ”

When it comes to Yuzhong, everyone is in spirit, after all, there are only Cheng Dahu's 1,000 army and 35,000 newly recruited soldiers, if there is an enemy attack, it is not impossible for accidents to happen.

Suo Sanjie said: "It's not a secret, when I set off for my humble position, I heard the news that the Qinzhou Assassin of the Xiongnu Han State, Hu Yanyu, was going to attack Yuzhong in a big way, so I urgently deployed a stone machine and a divine arm crossbow to support, and I didn't think there would be anything wrong." ”

Zhang Jun said: "Cheng Dahu still has some ability to govern the army, and he has a defense line to rely on, coupled with the use of new weapons, even if he can't win, there is no problem in holding on." ”

As soon as his words fell, I don't know if it was a coincidence, and another soldier reported to the Malays: "The governor of Dadu, Yuzhong has a great victory, beheading more than 6,000 people, capturing 5,000 enemies, and Huyankou is defeated!" ”

······································

The news of Yuzhong's victory directly increased the momentum of the Liang army, which had been squatting under Didao City for many days. Countless soldiers are thinking, a thousand army and new soldiers can achieve a great victory, why can't we, isn't the elite conquest army as good as those new soldiers?

Zhang Jun was also very happy, and immediately wrote a commendation order, asking the messenger to rest for a while and then change to a fast horse and run again, so that the soldiers on the front line in Yuzhong knew that the Metropolitan Governor was always paying attention to them.

Strike while the iron is hot, Zhang Jun will no longer wait, he asked Suo Sanjie to complete the assembly of the stone machine and the divine arm crossbow overnight, and the next morning, he led the whole army out of the camp and approached Di Dao City!

The moat outside Didao City had long been filled, and although the Liang army had besieged the city for many days, it did not stop preparing before the battle. This wide moat is connected to the Taoshui and is a living water. Zhang Jun first ordered the connection between the moat and Taoshui to be blocked, and then dug several deep ditches outside the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders of Didao City, and advanced towards the moat.

Excavation was not a tactic created during the First World War, and in ancient China, it was a common tactic used by the besieging side. Every time they took a step forward, the Liang army would cover the top of their heads with thick planks, so that the Han army's bows and arrows and stone machines would have nothing to do. Unless they sent troops out of the city to fight, they could only watch the Liang army dig the embankment of the moat after digging to the river, so that the river water could flow along the deep ditch.

But will the Liang army be afraid of field battles? What are you kidding, it's not that the Han army of Caohan and Lintao hasn't tried it before, and everyone can see how it ends. It can be said that as long as it is not the Chinese army of the Huns, the Liang army is no longer afraid of the county soldiers composed of Han'er.

The sun rises in the east, shining on the land of Longxi.

The water is watery, and the golden waves are rippling.

Under the city of Didao, the 10,000 captives led by Zhang Jun have been lined up. The Chinese army is the Crane Control Army, with the Longxiang Army on the left flank and the Hujie Army on the right flank. The three armies were lined up in a neat formation, and there was no noise at all, only the crackling sound of the wind blowing the flags.

In front of the Liang army's formation, two kinds of equipment that the defenders of Di Dao had never seen were visited by the front and rear rows. One is a cart carrying a crossbow, and the other is similar to a thunderbolt to defend the city.

There is no prelude to scolding each other on both sides, after so many days, the words that can scold people have already been shouted almost, and there is no new idea in turning it over, but it will be laughed at by the other party. Since they have to fight sooner or later, not only the Liang army can't bear it, but the Han army that is holding the city has long wanted to show their skills.

However, today is destined to be the end of the Di Daohan army, when Zhang Jun gave an order, the soldiers who were brought by Suo Sanjie who specialized in operating the torsion stone machine and the divine arm crossbow were nervous and orderly busy, and after a while, one arson bomb was ignited and put into the loading place of the stone machine, only to see a big flag waved down violently······" Whoosh whoosh! More than 100 arson bombs were thrown into the sky with great force, and then a perfect arc was drawn, and "woo-woo" fell from the sky!

In an instant, the sky-high fire ignited in Didao City, and the water could not be extinguished when the water and fertilizer were burning, and the Han army had no way to extinguish the fire for a while. Countless sparks were splashed with sparks, either rolling on the ground or crying out for help.

Li Laza, the commander of Longxi County, was also standing at the head of the city, he didn't expect that the thunderbolt of the Liang army would be able to fire three hundred paces away, but he still immediately issued an order to let the soldiers defending the city hide and hide from the stones. Unexpectedly, what Liang Jun threw was not a round big stone at all, but a burning black liquid!

At this moment, as the main general, bursts of sweat poured out on Li Laza's face, dripping on his armor, winding and slipping, and they were about to flow into a stream. He had just witnessed a fire bomb fall on a group of fifty men, and in an instant a huge fireball engulfed everyone, and when the fire and smoke cleared slightly, not a single soldier was still standing on the ground!

In the mess, there were black, charred corpses, stumps and severed arms, and even the smell of barbecue in the air.

I think Li Lazha has also been in the army since he was a child, and he followed the Great Khan to fight in China, not without losing battles, and even experienced such a fiasco as almost being wiped out by the Jin army. But I've never been so scared!

Because of the previous defeats, no matter how miserable the defeat was, the strategic advantage was on the side of the Huns! As long as the men of the steppe get on the horses, no force can completely leave them. But since the Great Khan became emperor, they had to say goodbye to their tents and go into the city, from the side that conquered the city to the side that defended the city.

Although the Xiongnu Han State that occupied the Central Plains had a large number of Han troops to drive, if the Liang army wanted to fight with the Xiongnu warriors, it had to consume the Han army first, and it was often very hard to consume seven or eight points before it could fight with the Xiongnu warriors. As long as the Huns don't make big mistakes on their side, no matter whether they win or lose, they can make the Liang army pay several times or even ten times the loss!

But today, just a burst of fire bombs that could burn, and the more than 2,000 Han troops guarding the city were crushed! As far as the eye can see, there are still men with swords in hand, all of them lying on the ground or hiding in the corner, and can only pray that the fire that falls from the sky will not burn them······ If it continues to be beaten like this, the Liang army is afraid that it will be able to take over the city without spending a single soldier!

"Liang Jun is going to burn us alive, the county guard, you have to destroy their thunderbolts!"

A subordinate general's face was dark, obviously smoked, and he ran over and grabbed Li Laza's arm and shouted: "County guard, you can't hesitate any longer!" ”

"Do you really want to let the Hun warriors exchange their lives with the lowly Han people?" Li Laza's face was expressionless, and he couldn't make this decision easily no matter what. But he also knew that if this continued, the defenders would collapse sooner or later.

Li Laza's heart sank, and the screams and wails of the wounded and dying Han soldiers around him suddenly disappeared, and in his mind, only one voice was shouting hoarsely.

"Fight! Must fight! If you don't fight today, after you lose Di Dao, you will have to pay ten times and a hundred times the price to recover the ······ in the future."

"Mingjin, let the defenders at the head of the city retreat and regroup first!" Li Lazha suddenly pulled out the hundred steel knives rewarded by the Great Khan, pointed at the Liang army in front of him, and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Khan, pull out your swords, ride your horses, cut off the heads of the enemy, and trample the lowly Han dogs into pulp!" Pacify the Liang Army! ”

"Kill all the Han people! Pacify the Liang Army! "The Huns had already mounted their war horses and gathered behind the city gate to prepare for the attack.

On the side, the county soldiers composed of Han'er suffered heavy losses, and after hearing the shouts of the Huns, they felt even more uncomfortable. Among them, it is not excluded that they are bent on serving the alien race, but a large number of them are just trying to eat and eat.

Kill all the Han Chinese? No wonder let us defend the city, this is to let us and the cool army outside end together!
