On February 4, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the border army under Liu Ji finally entered the territory of Chengyin County in Gui'an County, Qianzhou, and the situation in the entire Jue'an County was even more serious than Liu Ji imagined. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There are 6 counties under Ju'an County, namely Chengyin County, Longchang County, Ningchuan County, Hezhi County, Moxi County and Baihe County.

Chengyin County, Ningchuan County, Moxi County and Shangyuan City are all close to the northern prairie, and the three county towns and a county government can be regarded as military fortresses, undertaking the heavy task of preventing the invasion of the Hu cavalry in the north.

After Liu Ji's border army entered Ju'an County from Mingzhang County, it passed through the entire Longchang County before entering Chengyin County.

When the border army passed by the county seat of Longchang County the day before yesterday, they found that the county seat of Longchang County had become a ruined wall, and it seemed that it had been destroyed for a long time.

During the three days that the border army passed through the entire Longchang County, Liu Ji and his army did not even encounter a single figure of the people, and all the villages and towns they passed through were empty.

There is also Chengyin County to the north of Longchang County, Longchang County is not next to the grassland, but the entire Longchang County has been plagued by the Hu people to such an extent, which makes Liu Ji and others boast.

The only good news is that since encountering the Loufu cavalry of more than 700 people, the border army under Liu Ji has never encountered a large number of Hu cavalry, and the largest group of Hu cavalry of more than 100 people has encountered the largest group of more than 100 Hu cavalry.

After just entering the boundary of Chengyin County, Liu Ji rode on his horse and sighed to several generals around him and said: "The situation in Jue'an County is so bad, I haven't seen a living Jin person in the entire territory of Longchang County, I now suspect that the county seat of Chengyin County still exists, if the county seat of Chengyin County is also destroyed by the Hu people, then we don't even have a place to stay, alas——"

At this time, in addition to Chen Hao, Liu Ji's personal bodyguard, the generals who followed Liu Ji on horseback also included Su Lie, Le Yi, Wei Xiaokuan, and Zhao Ben, four generals with high command value and intelligence value.

For the two generals Wei Xiaokuan and Zhao Ben who suddenly appeared, because of Liu Ji's explanation, they did not cause any waves in the border army.

Su Lie, who was riding on a war horse, smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, if the county seat of Chengyin County is also destroyed, after we arrive in Chengyin County, we must find a way to rebuild the county seat of Chengyin, in that case, it will definitely be bad news for our border army, I am worried that those nomads on the grassland will not give us the opportunity to rebuild military fortresses on the border." ”

Le Yi said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that the border of my Great Jin Dynasty would decay to such a point, after we entered Qianzhou, we have already encountered two county towns that have become ruins, and it is not easy for us to gain a foothold in Chengyin County!" ”

At this time, Wei Xiaokuan said: "My lord, the most important thing now is to send someone to find out the situation in Chengyin County, so that we can formulate a corresponding strategy." ”

Su Lie and Le Yi nodded one after another, and also agreed with Wei Xiaokuan's words, it was useless for them to guess here, so they should send someone to the county seat of Chengyin County to have a look, so as to know that the county seat of Chengyin is still there.

Liu Ji nodded and said: "What Xiaokuan said is extremely true, it seems that we have to send someone to Chengyin County to see the situation first, if Chengyin County is also destroyed, then ...... Alas - let's study it then! ”

"Lord, it's less than 1 hour away from Chengyin County, so it's better to let Zhao Ben take some cavalry to the county seat of Chengyin County to explore first!" Zhao Ben took the initiative to ask Liu Ji for help.

"That's it, Zhao Ben, you and Dong Xian, take the fifty vanguard cavalry under Dong Xian's command, and go to the county seat of Chengyin County to explore the road first, if you encounter the Hu cavalry, try to avoid it, our cavalry is compared to the Hu cavalry, the gap is still too big, this time to find out the news!" Liu Ji thought about it for a while and agreed to let Zhao Ben go to Chengyin County to inquire about the situation.

After that encounter with the Lou Fu cavalry, the two cavalry that Liu Ji had built were severely damaged, and now although the establishment of the two cavalry is still there, the number is much less, and each one has less than three hundred cavalry.

This is still Liu Ji transferred a hundred cavalry under the command of Dong Xian and Lei Bo to supplement the two cavalry, otherwise the number of the two cavalry is less than half of the previous one.

Zhao Ben nodded and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Ben won't act recklessly!" ”

Then Zhao Ben and Dong Xian took fifty cavalry, broke away from the brigade of the border army, and urged the horses to go straight to the direction of Chengyin County.

When Zhao Ben, Dong Xian and others galloped all the way for nearly 1 hour, they finally came to the vicinity of Chengyin County, and then Zhao Ben and Dong Xian's faces changed greatly.

Chengyin City, which was built on the plain in the distance, had not yet been destroyed by the Hu people, but at this time, a large number of Hu cavalry gathered under Chengyin City.

Zhao Ben and others came to the south, and they could only see the Hu cavalry wandering in the east, south and west of Chengyin City from a distance, but they could faintly hear the sound of shouting and killing, and it was likely that the Hu people were storming the northern wall of Chengyin City.

Zhao Ben and Dong Xian were still several miles away from Chengyin City, so their arrival did not attract the attention of the Hu cavalry under Chengyin City.

Zhao Ben took a look at the surrounding environment, and immediately took Dong Xian with fifty cavalry to make a detour and ran to a hill in the distance, according to the location of the hill, he should be able to see the situation in the north of Chengyin City.

Zhao Ben and the others urged the horses to the back of the hill, and then Zhao Ben asked Dong Xian to hide here with fifty cavalrymen, while Zhao Ben dismounted alone and walked up the hill.

This hill is covered with wild grass, and the wild grass is half a person high, Zhao Ben came to the highest part of the hill, half squatted in the wild grass, and looked carefully at the Chengyin City in the distance.

However, because this hill is at least a few miles away from Chengyin City, Zhao Ben can only roughly see the north of Chengyin City, where there are a large number of Hu foot soldiers, who are storming the northern wall of Chengyin City, and a large number of Hu cavalry are also gathered in the north outside the county seat.

The more Zhao Ben looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, although he couldn't find out how many Hu people were attacking Chengyin City, but the Hu cavalry only gathered in the north of the county town had about three or four thousand horses, not counting the other Hu cavalry wandering on three sides outside the county and the Hu infantry who were attacking the city.

Zhao Ben looked again and found that there should still be a considerable number of troops resisting in Chengyin City, although there were Hu foot soldiers who continued to climb the north wall of Chengyin City through the long ladder, but more Hu people foot soldiers were directly from the wooden ladder and were smashed down by the rolling wood stones thrown down by the city wall.
