Chapter 116: The Great Jin General's Gate (For a Big Bowl of Noodles Alliance Leader's Second Update)
Zhou Kai saw that Qi Hu, who was only fourteen years old, didn't care about life and death, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Qi family is the same as the Zhou family, for generations to guard Chengyin City, a military fortress on the border of the Great Jin Dynasty, for Chengyin City, I don't know how many children of the Qi family and the Zhou family died in the field, especially in the past ten years, the Great Jin Dynasty has internal and external troubles, and the northern nomads have repeatedly violated the border, and the men of the Qi family and the Zhou family are even more to guard the Chengyin City, and they have died on the battlefield one after another.
In addition to Zhou Kai's father, Zhou Hong, a general, who died in battle last year, Zhou Kai's two uncles and three cousins have also died in the defense of the city in recent years, and now there is only Zhou Kai as an adult male in the Zhou family.
And the Qi family is even more miserable, in recent years, the Qi family has killed nine people in the battle for Chengyin City, and now Qi Hu is the oldest male in the Qi family, and Qi Hu's father and two brothers have died in battle.
Qi Hu was still young and did not join the border army of Chengyin City, but now Chengyin City is facing the crisis of being broken by the Wuheng people, fourteen-year-old Qi Hu put on the iron armor left by his father, picked up the steel knife left by his brother, and resolutely climbed the city wall of Chengyin City.
Don't look at Qi Hu's age, but his martial arts and strength are not weaker than ordinary border soldiers, in the two days when the Wuheng people attacked the city, there were at least six or seven Wuheng soldiers who died under Qi Hu's sword.
In fact, Zhou Kai said to Qi Hu that the two border teams in Yongzhou could come to support Chengyin City, just to comfort Qi Hu, Zhou Kai did not think that these two border teams could safely pass through Wanzhou, which was ravaged by the rogues, and Qianzhou, which had become a hunting ground for the Hu cavalry, and arrived at the border of the Great Jin.
And even if the two border teams can reach Chengyin City, Zhou Kai doesn't think that the two border teams combined with a thousand local troops with weak combat effectiveness can be of any great use to Chengyin City!
Zhou Kai said to Qi Hu: "Xiaohu, the Wuheng people should not attack the city again today, you hurry up and have a good rest, there is still a tough battle waiting for us tomorrow." ”
Qi Hu nodded and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I won't embarrass the Qi family's fathers and brothers!" ”
After Qi Hu walked away, Zhou Kai said to the military marquis beside him: "If there is a fight tomorrow, remember to take care of Qi Hu more, if Qi Hu has an accident, the Qi family doesn't know when it will be able to recover." ”
The military marquis nodded and said, "Don't worry, Qi Hu's father, Captain Qi, has a life-saving grace for his subordinates, as long as his subordinates have a breath of air, they will not let Young Master Qi have an accident!" ”
Generals like the Zhou family and the Qi family have always existed in the border army and forbidden army of the Great Jin Dynasty, and some of them even have a history of hundreds of years and existed before the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The family is not necessarily a general, but the general's door must be a family, and the children of the general's door will basically join the Dajin army when they become adults, and the starting point is relatively high, like Zhou Kai joined the border army of Chengyin City, and he is a captain.
If Qi Hu is an adult, although all the people of the Qi family in the army have died in battle, with the relationship of the Qi family in the army for many years, as long as Qi Hu joins the border army of the Great Jin, he will definitely not start as a small soldier.
There are some influential generals in the Great Jin Dynasty, and their children have even just joined the army, so they can get the position of partial generals, and the border army and the forbidden army of the Great Jin Dynasty can be said to have been controlled in the hands of various generals.
Zhou Kai then rearranged the forces on the four walls of Chengyin City, and still concentrated most of his troops on the north city wall, and the twenty-eight elite cavalry that Zhou Kai had not used had to give up their war horses and go to the city wall to help defend the city.
On the afternoon of February 4, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the main force of the Wuheng coalition army outside Chengyin City slowly retreated to their camp, on a hill a few miles away from Chengyin City, Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ben and Dong Xian came to the vicinity of Chengyin City with fifty vanguard cavalry, and found that there was a Hu army besieging Chengyin County.
Hearing that thousands of Hu cavalry were besieging Chengyin County, Liu Ji immediately ordered the Ruth Border Army, which was only a dozen miles away from Chengyin County, to stop advancing and hide directly in a nearby wood.
Then Liu Ji, under the protection of six generals, Su Lie, Hua Xiong, Chen Hao, Wei Xiaokuan, Zhao Ben and Dong Xian, as well as fifty vanguard cavalry, urged the horse to come to this hill a few miles away from Chengyin City.
Dong Xian and fifty cavalry still stayed at the bottom of the hill, and Liu Ji took five generals to the top of the hill, hiding in the barren grass, observing the situation of Chengyin City, and stayed until the afternoon, the last siege of the Wuheng coalition army ended today, and Liu Ji and the five generals did not leave the hill.
Liu Ji saw that Chengyin City was besieged by the Hu army, not that he didn't want to rescue, but a few days ago he encountered a big battle of Lou Fu cavalry, which made Liu Ji feel palpitations, he knew that the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command were facing a large force of Hu cavalry on the plain, and the victory or defeat was really unpredictable, mainly because of the cavalry under his command, compared with the Hu cavalry, there was too big a gap in combat effectiveness.
Without the strategy of the cavalry, even if there is a long wooden spear array, once the Hu cavalry adopts the tactics of wandering and riding on the plain, then the foot soldiers of the long wooden spear formation can only be beaten passively, and it is too difficult for the long wooden spear formation to turn the direction on the battlefield.
Now the Hu cavalry besieging Chengyin City is at least more than 5,000 people, if he rushes over so stubbornly with the border army, not to mention whether he can solve the siege of Chengyin City, anyway, his border army will definitely lose a lot.
This border army is Liu Ji's capital to settle down in the border of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Liu Ji must be careful and careful.
Liu Ji turned his head and said to Su Lie and the other five generals beside him: "It seems that this afternoon, the Hu people are not ready to continue to attack the city, let's talk about how we should rescue Chengyin County?" ”
Chengyin City is the place where Liu Ji is on the border, since it has not been destroyed by the army of the steppe nomads, then Chengyin City, Liu Ji must be saved.
Because of the false accusation of Zhao Ce in Cangyuan City, Liu Ji was a blessing in disguise, not only was he promoted to a partial general by the imperial court, but at the same time, the imperial court also let Liu Ji command all the troops in Chengyin County to resist the invasion of the nomadic tribes of the grassland.
In this way, Chengyin County can be said to be Liu Ji's territory in the future, Liu Ji is unwilling to let Chengyin County be broken by the Hu people, and now the border soldiers on the wall of Chengyin County who resist the Hu people's siege, as long as Liu Ji can successfully take over Chengyin City, then they are all Liu Ji's subordinates.
For these future subordinates, Liu Ji also hopes to save them, after all, there are many soldiers of the border army, you must know that the border army is in the Great Jin army, and like the forbidden army, they are all elite divisions.
Hearing Liu Ji's question, Wei Xiaokuan immediately said: "Lord, the Hu people's army sent cavalry to block the four gates of Chengyin County, so that they don't worry about sending people in the city to attack the Hu people's camp at night, but the Hu people would not have thought that our border army would come to Chengyin County at this time, and we happened to attack the camp at night by surprise to relieve the siege of Chengyin City!" ”
