Chapter 384: Turning Defense into Attack

Lin Yuyan is already a fast horse to pass the book, will turn back to Ruoguan Jiangxia soldiers and horses to the south of the county, and turn to attack the main force of Xiong Ji's army to defend Lu County, which is the Han Dynasty Zhuji Deng State and Yan State of the ancient Lu country, it is also a rich land that can be cultivated, but Xiong Ji took the area north of the Han River as a place of battle, and never cultivated, but Lu County is also regarded as the rear of Ruoguan in the southern county of Qin.

Xiong Ji is good at leading troops to fight alone, often running hundreds of miles away, and is also good at deceit, he understands Huan Yu's character, so he set up the new city of that game, for the Qin State, the strength is now superior, Xiong Ji is to give up the original tactics of sending troops to attack and harass the Qin army, and directly send troops to fight with the Qin people, with the purpose of eliminating the strength of the Qin army.

On that day, Daqin's army was already assembled in Ruoguan, and the soldiers standing at the head of the city were all looking at each other, which surprised them not because of the number of enemy troops who came to attack this time, but because these soldiers who gathered in Ruoguan and prepared to go out of the pass were all incomprehensible.

But anyone can see that these are all showmanship, and it is difficult to go to the battlefield at all!

Lin Yuyan also came to Ruoguan City, accompanied by generals such as Fang De and Chen Zhiqing, Fang De was somewhat resistant to Lin Yuyan's unusual way of transporting troops, and the most uncomfortable was Chen Zhiqing.

After Chen Zhiqing saw that the hole cards that Lin Yuyan took out were only these troops, he had to persuade at the moment: "Your Highness, now there are elite soldiers in Xiong Ji's army, it seems that these banner soldiers should not appear on the battlefield, you might as well leave them for the siege of the city in the future as a guard of honor, for deterrence!" ”

Chen Zhiqing's words are that he thinks that these soldiers holding banners should be used as a role to rely on, and as for fighting, they should not be pulled out.

Lin Yuyan looked at Fang De, a veteran who was nearly fifty years old, also looked at Lin Yuyan, although he didn't understand Gongziyan's intentions, but he didn't ask as directly as Chen Zhiqing.

"What does General Fang think?" Seeing that Gongziyan led the topic to himself, Fang De also arched his hand: "The king handed over the right to deploy the southern expedition to His Highness, and His Highness has his own opinions, so it is inconvenient to talk about it!" ”

Chen Zhiqing looked at Fang De with some surprise, and was very puzzled why this old general, who had always been steady, said these words with such a wise and self-protective attitude.

Lin Yuyan explained with a smile: "There are only more than 100 soldiers holding the banner, and it is harmless to go to the battlefield, and it is these elite soldiers who are hidden behind the banner who are really fighting on the battlefield!" ”

Chen Zhiqing only then knew that Gongziyan took out these flags in order to cover up the effect, but then Chen Zhiqing was still puzzled, this action, isn't it a little to cover up, it is better to hide the soldiers in the city in advance, wait until the two armies fight, and then rush out of the city gate.

But Chen Zhiqing didn't say what he thought in his heart, this time the leader of the main battle was the deputy general of the Yunmeng Army, Hu Yi, this is an old clan who has followed Du Hui for a long time, and he is also a general in the prime of life who has followed Du Hui for a long time, eight feet tall and quite extraordinary.

The soldiers led by Hu Yi Oyster are the elite division of the Yunmeng Army, and seventy percent of the profits earned by Jiangxia Commercial Bank are all invested in the training of this army, so that the Yulin Army, which was a friendly army in the past, was actually quite sour and envious after seeing the development of this former "difficult friend".

Fang De looked at the army gathered by the city head, it seemed to be a little different, but as for the difference, with the naked eye, Fang De couldn't see it, but he was more and more sure that this old rebel army, after experiencing the care of Gongziyan, even if it was against the Yulin army, it was impossible to win as easily as back then.

This has nothing to do with the training of soldiers, in fact, a few years ago, Fang De did not relax the training of the Yulin Army, so that Sheng Nong and Huangfu Gao, who were born as military pawns in the Zongfu Mansion, also moved the training of military soldiers to the Yulin Army when their hands were itchy.

Let's take a closer look at what has changed in this Yunmengjun......

Xiong Jijun's camp has already risen with curling smoke, which is a sign that Xiong Jijun is preparing to send troops to cook food, and the oyster also shouted: "Open the city gate and sound the horn!" ”

"Woo......"

The low and distant sound of the horn sounded, and the city gate also emitted a noisy doorway shaft sound, and after its hole opened, the oysters took the lead, and those soldiers holding flags also came out with them, lined up in the half-arrow land outside the city wall, and then, the soldiers of the Yunmeng Army also came out.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyan said to the many generals around him: "The generals also go to the troops and horses to prepare for the troops!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals led by Fang De and Chen Zhiqing also responded with their fists, if the city wall is several miles long, the city gate is more than one, this is a main battlefield, but after all, it is difficult to roll out the overwhelming crowd tactics of Xiong Jijun!

Although Xiong Ji attaches great importance to the capture of Ruoguan, but it has not reached the point of personally experiencing it, this time it is Xiong Ji's general named Xiong Ben who commands the vanguard of the Wuling Army, who is Xiong Ji's cronies and a general in the Wuling Army.

In addition to directly controlling the 20,000 Gejia Army, there are also nearly 100,000 Jingdi Liren, Xiong Ji's request to him is not to let the Gejia Army have many casualties, but whenever the war is to be subordinate to the people first.

Xiong Ben also knows that the skyrocketing number of subordinates is making the grain of the Wuling Army fall at an extremely terrifying speed, and Yingdu is also transporting grain, but more of them are still subordinates, and now Xiong Ji is already a young man who accepts 200,000 people in Yingdu, but Yingdu is still letting the situation of ten rooms and nine empty places in the local area occur, and it is also to recruit troops to the north, and now the defense of Jingguo is more like a hollow circle.

The people were all resettled along the border with the army, and the population in the past, as the capital of Ying, was located, but it became a scene of ten rooms and nine emptiness.

When the Wuling Army was having dinner, Ruoguan City Gate was suddenly opened, which also made Xiong Ben very concerned, and he saw a large number of soldiers and horses pouring out of Ruoguan, and also blew the horn of attack.

Xiong Ben was the first time in a few days that he had seen the Qin people actually take the initiative to attack like this, but he still thought that there were still a large number of elite divisions in Wuguan, and he didn't dare to have any slackness, so he let the cloth soldiers press down first, and then let the leather armor soldiers drive them behind, and wrote a letter asking for help to Xiong Ji in Lu County!

Hu Yi Oyster took the lead, he was a military general who fought on the battlefield, but when he saw the soldiers rushing out of the Xiong Ji army's camp, his face was also not good, because he found that most of these soldiers were no different from the soldiers in the Xiong Ji army's siege of the city.

Lin Yuyan also stood on top of the city, and saw the cloth soldiers of the Xiong Ji army walking slowly over, and they didn't have a good face, to be precise, these cloth soldiers were no different from the people of the Qin State, they just took a wooden stick and went to the battlefield, there was no armor of the regular soldiers, and even the weapons to kill the enemy were just sharpened wooden sticks cut off in the mountains and forests.

"Archers shoot at the enemy army!"

Lin Yuyan commanded expressionlessly, although he felt compassion for these cloth soldiers under Xiong Ji's command, but he still retained a trace of reason in his heart, he knew that once these cloth soldiers who seemed timid and did not dare to move forward a few steps at this time approached their own army formation, under the temptation of the food hung by Xiong Ji, these cloth soldiers would expose their greed and use all their strength to fight the soldiers of the Qin State.

On the battlefield, the drum was heard, and the oyster heard the drum, and also knew Lin Yuyan's intention, and immediately let the archers rush out of front of the banner soldiers, lined up in three rows, and waited for the approaching soldiers of the opposite cloth, that is, they opened their bows and arrows to shoot.

Crossbows are expensive to build, not as affordable as bows and arrows, so there are many archers in the Yunmeng army, and there are also crossbowmen, because the range of bows and crossbows is long, more accurate than bows and arrows, so those crossbowmen are also after the archers shoot, sniping the fish that slip through the net!

Jing's bows and arrows are not as good as the range of Great Qin's bows and arrows, and these cloth-clothed soldiers don't even have basic swords and armor, let alone bows and arrows.

This is the archery method of the old Qin people, which is the experience accumulated when fighting with the Rong people, and most of the archery and riding skills of the old Qin people are trained over the years in the battle with the Rong people.

"Shoot!" Hu Yong Oyster commanded loudly, and then patted his horse and walked behind the formation of these archers, and encouraged: "Don't spare the bow and arrow today, just wait for this enemy army to be repulsed, and then we will go to Lu County to fight again!" ”

Xiong Ben, the general of Xiong Jijun, who was supervising the formation in the rear, also saw this scene, and was about to press up as a shield soldier among the leather armor soldiers, but he heard the left and right say: "General, the left and right wings are all Qin troops who have killed tens of thousands!" ”

When Xiong Ben heard this, he raised his head in shock, raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that all the city gates in the south of Ruoguan had been opened, and a large number of Qin soldiers poured out of them, killing them towards his side, Xiong Ben said: "The Qin people have already set out to retreat to Lu County and join the Xizhu Congress!" ”

The Luxian camp is only twenty miles away from Ruoguan, Xiong Ben's soldiers and horses are the vanguard, Xiong Ben wants to withdraw, but several generals on the left and right are asking: "If the general withdraws, the footsteps of a certain army will definitely not be able to catch up with the Qin army!" ”

"Then set fire to the camp to block the Qin army!" Xiong Ben said angrily, he didn't take the soldiers under his command seriously, and Xiong Ji also told him that he only needed to block the soldiers and horses of Ruoguan and wait for the soldiers and horses of the south to go north, in this regard, Xiong Ben had already completed the task.

"The leather armor soldiers are behind, so they can naturally be removed, but the cloth soldiers are ......"

Xiong Ben shouted angrily: "There is not much food in the army, so leave these cloth soldiers to fight with the Qin people!" ”

When Hu Ben's voice fell, he didn't say anything more and led the army to withdraw.

Seeing that the rear of the enemy army on the opposite side had retreated backwards, even those cloth-clothed soldiers were panicked and did not know what to do, and Lin Yuyan, who was standing on the head of the city, also ordered that the soldiers of the Xiong Ji army would either kill or surrender these soldiers of the Xiong Ji army, and the Yunmeng army of Huyi Oyster, as well as Chen Zhiqing's Xiangyang army and Fang De's Yulin army were all chasing and killing the fleeing leather armor army.

After so many days of forbearance, today is finally outbreaking, everyone knows that once Ruoguan dumps all the soldiers and horses, the seemingly hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in front of Ruoguan are simply vulnerable, and the real battlefield is in Lu County, which is more than 20 miles away from here, where Xiong Ji's elite leather armor army is stationed, and it is also the place where this battle is captured!

But he didn't expect that the vanguard general of the Xiong Ji Army was also a ruthless and decisive person, after all the leather armor troops had crossed the camp, they actually set fire to the camp, and when the cavalry of the Nanyang Army arrived, it had already ignited a raging fire that could not be extinguished.

When Chen Zhiqing on the East Road saw this scene, he also immediately decided: "Go to the Lushui coast and go to Lu County!" ”

Ruoguan and Ji Hunting, who went to the south of the county to attack, led the Yunmeng army and Wu Kang's Han water army, and it was the Han army that went to attack Lu County.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yulin Army and the Yunmeng Army collected the cloth soldiers who were abandoned by Xiong Ben, although these cloth soldiers fought for those buckets of rice and were red eyes, but when they saw that the leather armor army in the rear had already retreated, they suddenly lost their backbone, and they could no longer grasp the wooden stick in their hands.

The officers and soldiers of the subordinate army escorted these cloth soldiers from Jingdi into Ruoguan, and it was indeed a hidden danger that tens of thousands of enemy soldiers were gathered together, and it was imperative that we should negotiate with the counties of Nanjun and Jiangxia as soon as possible, and divide these prisoners of war into various counties and counties to take care of them.

Nearly an hour later, the fire in the camp of the Xiong Ji Pioneer Army was finally extinguished, and the Qin ** team, which was trapped in front of the camp, quickly drove out Lu County.

Xiong Ben has already led the remnants of the army back to the camp in Luxian County, and Xiong Ji, who has always been harsh, has not blamed him much, it is not easy to be able to block the Qin people in Ruoguan for so long, of course, Xiong Ji does not know that the reason why the Qin people have not come out of Ruoguan these days is not that Xiong Ben is blocking, but that Qin State deliberately preserves its strength.

When Xiong Ben retreated to rest, Xiong Ji also stood up from the big seat, there were many soldiers in the camp, and many of the extra faces were the generals of the reinforcements from Yingdu, north of Yanling, Xiong Ji had already arranged heavy troops, and the strength of this Lu County alone had already made Xiong Ji full of confidence to fight head-on with the Qin people!

A few hours ago, Xiong Ji heard that the scouts below had come to report that an enemy army had been killed in the direction of the southern county of Qin, and then Xiong Ben came back, and he also let Xiong Ji know that if Guan Qin's ** team was dispatched.

There is no doubt that Xiong Ji had already predicted that the biggest battle of Qin's Southern Expedition so far would break out in this small Lu County!
