Chapter 606: Han Wen invited troops to enter Pingxiang

The offensive of the Han army did not stop there, in addition to ambushing the rebels in the Weishui tributary, the 5,000 people left in Pingxiang County by Fuquan were mainly infantry soldiers of Ban Yu, and as early as when the rebels entered the territory of Qidao County, led by Wu Yi, they left Pingxiang County and went to the rear of the rebel army to Warrior County.

When the Han army defeated the main force of the rebels, outside the city of Yongxian County, the Wu Yi Department of the Han army had already begun to besiege the city. Originally, according to Wu Yi's plan, he was going to take advantage of the rebel defenders to sneak attack and take the city without knowing the details of the battle ahead, but the final result was that he could only use the stupid method of besieging the city and honestly fighting the strength of the army to attack the city.

The reason is that there are too many cavalry in Warrior County, although the main force of the rebels has gone to Qidao County, but there is no cavalry in Warrior County, and many rebels have to herd horses, so in the vast land of Warrior County, there are often rebels scattered and wandering, and there is no large-scale cavalry in Wu Yi's army.

In the warrior county, now counting all kinds of miscellaneous soldiers and so on, there are only a thousand people, and in the face of the Han army's 5,000 foot soldiers, the rebels stationed in the warrior county are still a little cowardly.

Wu Yi tried several times to persuade him to surrender, but to no avail, and the rebels always believed that the soldiers and horses of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were still crisscrossing the hinterland of Hanyang County. And Wu Yi, the foot soldier of the Han army, just didn't know where to sneak over, in a vain attempt to attack behind the enemy and cut off the way back from the attacking rebels, as long as they tried to save the rebel master, when the reinforcements returned, they could naturally be relieved.

Moreover, Yongshi County is adjacent to Yuzhong County of Jincheng County, and the distance between the two counties is very close, as long as the rebels do not have many troops in the rear now, but they ask for help, Jincheng County can also gather a thousand reinforcements. Once these reinforcements arrived, with them, the strength advantage of the Han army outside the city did not have much advantage for the defenders in the warrior county.

Seeing the stubbornness of the rebels defending the city, Wu Yi did not expect to be able to reduce the losses of the army at the moment, and it was a strict order given to him by Fuquan to seize the warrior county and seize the remaining war horse resources in the warrior county.

"Kill! Whoever climbs the tower first will be rewarded with 10,000 dollars! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

"Woo! Woo! Woo......"

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

With Wu Yi's order, the five thousand Han army foot soldiers shouted with momentum, took the cloud ladder made in their hands, and attacked the warrior county.

Of course, the strength of the Han army's 5,000 people is not too much strictly speaking, so Wu Yi just let the Han army of 2,000 people attack the south gate, and leave 1,000 people at the east and west gates to feint, and he led the remaining 1,000 people to stay as the rear army, leaving the north gate alone for the rebels to escape.

Beyond the north gate, there is the boundary of Wuwei County, which is adjacent to Hanyang County, which has now been occupied by the rebels, and it is the most likely place to flee when the rebels are facing the destruction of the city, and when they see that the north gate is not attacked by the Han army.

This battle did not take too long, it only took about an hour, as the rebels repelled several attacks by the Han army, the city was in danger, and the three city gates were in danger of breaking the city, as Wu Yi expected, he took the initiative to flee north and ended.

Because of the previous Liangzhou turmoil, they completely underestimated the combat power of Wu Yi's army, thinking that with more than 1,000 people, they could defend the warrior county. As a result, when the Han army attacked the city on a large scale, things were completely unexpected by them, these were the Han troops under the command of Fuquan, who braved arrows and rolling wood and stones to attack the city, and contacted the rebels, and beat the rebels who defended the city crying and shouting for their mothers.

Moreover, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and the rebels have a total of more than 1,000 people, and they have to defend the four cities, and the strength is overstretched. If it weren't for the Han army Sima who feinted to attack the east and west gates, and received Wu Yi's strict order, they would only contain the rebels in the east and west of the warrior county, and they would not storm and waste unnecessary troops, I am afraid that their thousand troops would be able to break through the city gate of the warrior county.

Faced with the danger of being broken by the three gates, and the strength of their own defense of the city was obviously insufficient, and the reinforcements outside the city did not know when they would come, the remaining hundreds of rebels defending the city in the warrior county town obviously made the most sensible decision, decisively gave up the city, rode a war horse and retreated outside the north gate, and had no intention of fighting at all.

When they fled, the scheming soldiers in the rebels also took the initiative to untie the war horses in the city, let them break free from the reins, and then took them out of the north gate together. They know the importance of war horses, since they can't deal with these war horses for a while, then use stupid methods to take them out directly, even if this is the risk of the war horses being recovered by the Han army after leaving the city, but as long as they can make the Han army have a little less resources, it will be considered a success.

In this battle, the Han army killed and wounded more than 200 people, and broke through the warrior county, the rebels in the warrior county were only a few hundred, and fled from the east gate on horseback.

The spring breeze is blowing, and the air has long been devoid of the fresh green smell of willows just budding, they have long been replaced by the smell of sweat and blood, and there seem to be many Qiang flutes sounding, but I don't know whether they are sounding inside or outside the city.

Enduring the unpleasant smell on the tip of his nose, Wu Yi climbed the warrior tower, ordered all departments to deal with the battlefield, and then strengthened the city defense, and then specially arranged a team to retrieve the war horses outside the city that had run wild due to the liberation of the rebels.

According to the rebels who did not come and escaped, and were captured by the Han army, there are still more than 3,000 war horses in the warrior county since the rebels looted, and there are only more than 400 in the city, deducting the war horses ridden by the rebel deserters, there should be more than 2,000. More than 2,000 war horses, although they are all inferior horses left by the main force of the rebels, but after all, they are also war horses, and they are urgently needed strategic resources for the Han army, which is now extremely short of horses, and Wu Yi will certainly not let them wander outside the city.

The warrior county here is not mentioned for the recovery of the Han army, but it is said that Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang and others, after the Han army launched an up-and-down attack, were forced by the situation, and after the enemy retreated, they rushed for dozens of miles in a row, which only settled down a little and began to sort out the defeated army.

After the rebels were ambushed, it can be said that they fled in all directions, and when they began to rein in their soldiers, they brought more than 70,000 troops, but only collected more than 20,000 people, and the others were either scattered or killed by the Han army in ambush and pursuit.

Later, as other rebels who fled and were separated were encountered by them one after another, the rebels became bigger and bigger like a snowball, but despite this, the number of their troops increased, but the command system of many rebel other units had collapsed. Either their Captain Sima is not there, or Shi Chang and Qu Chang are missing, and after many soldiers return to the team, there is a big sense that the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals.

Beigong Boyu and the others were also frightened by the flood ambush at this moment, and even forgot to rein in the soldiers and temporarily reorganize the team, they were running for their lives at the moment, and the Han army had obviously prepared a lot of traps in Hanyang County for them to jump. If they are still stupid to storm the county seat of Ji County, thinking about the good things of occupying Ji County and invading Sanfu in the future, it will really be idle to live a long life, as for the Fuquan Department that has been chasing behind them, for the rebels, they would usually fight with Fuquan in the past, but now they have no interest in fighting at all.

In this way, the rebels kept fleeing day and night, without the slightest idea of attacking, and even when passing through the county town of Zhangdao, seeing that the number of defenders in the county town of Zhangdao was obviously a lot less, they still left without hesitation, and no longer thought about revenge at all.

Fuquan chased the rebels, picked up leaks all the way, and encountered a small number of soldiers who fled from the rebels, never soft, swallowing if they could, just hanging behind the main force of the rebels, constantly expanding their results.

On the way, Fu Quan also ran into Sun Jian, who went out of the city without authorization, led a group of rabble that had been put together temporarily, and beheaded more than a thousand Sun Jian, while blaming Sun Jian for leaving his post without permission and taking risks, Fu Quan praised him again, a bunch of radishes and sticks, which directly made Sun Jian feel guilty, but he was convinced.

In the end, with Sun Jian's request for battle, Fu Quan readily agreed, he took Cheng Pu and other cronies and generals, selected more than 200 soldiers under his command, rode the captured rebel war horses, and joined Fu Quan's camp to pursue the rebels. As for the remaining foot soldiers of Sun Jian's department, they were ordered by him to be led by his wife and brother Wu Jing to send the people of Zhangdao County who were recruited back to the county seat of Zhangdao smoothly, and then asked Wu Jing to bring the remaining Han soldiers in the county seat of Jidao County back to the county seat of Jixian County and hand them over to Ma Teng, the governor of Hanyang County.

In fact, as far as Fu Quan is concerned, if the main force of the rebel army he pursued in front of him can counterattack his 10,000 cavalry after reining in his troops and horses, it is impossible to say that he will retreat because of this.

After all, even if the rebels suffered a big defeat in the Weishui tributary, the current defeated army still has a great advantage in strength compared to the Han army.

It's just that it's obvious that for a desperate army, any scenery around it will be noisy, not to mention that there is an elite enemy iron cavalry behind it. They don't have any other thoughts about this, they only have the idea of running for their lives, escaping to a safe place to live.

The flowers bloom at two ends, one for each table, but it is said that after the rebels in the warrior county town fled, they rode their horses and galloped for about half a day, but they suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of them, as if a large force of cavalry was charging forward, which frightened the deserters, and they thought that the Han army was counterattacking and preparing to attack Wuwei County.

However, when he saw the banner of that army, he immediately put his mind at ease, because this army, it was in the Lingwu Valley of Beidi County, that noticed the abnormality and immediately changed the route of the march, and wanted to return to Hanyang to change the situation.

After Le Ma, Han Sui saw these deserters who were obviously rebels at the beginning, and he felt uneasy, thinking that this was the main force of the rebels of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou and others, if that was the case, the big thing would be over!

But when he heard that these soldiers in front of him claimed to be the defenders of Warrior County, he calmed down, and then asked: "In Warrior County, what happened, come quickly, and there must be no omission." ”

"No!" The commander of the deserter tun in Yongshi County, who took the lead, said the before and after the battle in Yongshi County, and in his words, he greatly praised the strength of the Han army, and there was great hope that he would escape the responsibility of losing the city and escaping.

"Eryan Han army has many soldiers with iron shields and short blades, and when they ascend the city, they are extremely brave?" After listening to the soldiers' account of the battle, Han Sui's eyes flashed, as if he had found something, and hurriedly asked.

"Bajun Ban Yuman!" Han Sui said coldly to Na Qu Chang: "The Han army is powerful, you are not to blame for the crime, but you have the crime of losing the city, and you must not be punished. ”

"There are no complaints, the grace of the general's reinvention is unforgettable!" Natun said this, as if he was about to be amnesty, he prayed excitedly, and his gratitude was overflowing. As far as he is concerned, he would have fled with his head on his head, if he hadn't met Han Sui, he would have been ready to take someone to the grass to fall into the grass, after all, it may be okay for others to lose the city and escape, but the main city defender like him is definitely to blame, so if he doesn't fall into the grass, his life is in danger.

Han Sui nodded with satisfaction, and then let the defeated soldier return to the ranks, and in the middle of a hand, he absorbed these hundreds of deserters into his command. Now the situation has changed greatly, according to the progress of the Han army, there is definitely something in Beigong Boyu, at this time, it is the time for him to absorb and strengthen his own power, for these soldiers and horses that are equivalent to no owner, Han Sui of course did not hesitate to annex.

Of course, for this deserter commander, it doesn't matter if Han Sui actually killed him, after all, those defeated soldiers under the command of this commander can't escape, and there is no obstacle for Han Sui to annex it. The reason why he was released was that Han Sui knew that he didn't blame the tun chief, after all, it was the Ban Yu barbarians under Fu Quan's command who conquered the warrior county this time.

Since Fuquan gradually became famous on the battlefield, the prestige of the Bajun Banyu barbarians has gradually risen, and the Banqi barbarians do not say the historical achievements, that is, to deal with the Qiang people, in the past years was also one of the main forces of Shu Pingqiang, these achievements with the fame of Fuquan, but also continue to make people realize their strength.

After confirming that it was a Ban Yu barbarian army, Han Sui naturally understood that if the tun chief encountered other soldiers and horses, he might rely on the defenders of more than a thousand people and could wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but it was obviously impossible to face this elite Ban Yu barbarian army. So if he really wants to kill him, Han Sui still feels a pity, after all, he did it right, and Han Sui now wants to buy people's hearts and gather more rebel soldiers to obey his orders, and this tun chief will of course become a guinea pig for his money to buy horse bones.

Digesting the information in his heart, Han Sui pondered for a moment, and then ordered the army to go straight to Pingxiang County, which should be the current vacuum hinterland of Hanyang County, and it may also be his Han Sui's chance.
