Chapter 199: Longxi Breaks the Enemy

In the mountain paths, there were Zhao Jun's foot soldiers who fell to the ground crookedly. The road was full of carts carrying grain, and at this time it was also scattered in the middle of the road, a few of them were burning, and there were many samurai in leather clothes and hats struggling to put out the fire. Next to the intact grain carts, the Di warriors had brought the spare horses, lassoed the carts, and then tried to drive the horses away.

Interspersed among these Diren warriors, there are hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers, some of them lead several war horses to stand by the road, some hold a ring head knife, walking on this tragic battlefield, from time to time dragged out a corpse of Zhao soldiers, the knife fell to cut off the head, and then untied the skull bun, tied the hair bundle to the belt of their own armor.

On a hill more than 200 meters high, Liu Jiwu took Shao Lei, Cao Jian and several other generals to silently watch this scene in the valley. The Di warriors were busy transporting grain, and the Guangwu cavalry were busy harvesting heads. This time the sneak attack on Zhao Jun's grain convoy, Liu Jiwu also planned carefully. Due to the huge difference between the uniforms of the Liangzhou soldiers and the Diren warriors, Liu Jiwu suggested that hundreds of his cavalry soldiers should be concealed on the slopes on both sides, and after the Zhao army's grain transportation team arrived at the ambush area, the Guangwu cavalry used bows and arrows to kill it remotely, and when its formation was scattered and at a loss, the warriors of the Di tribe of Fu Hong, under the banner of Yang Nan's enemy Baimadi, killed from the valley passage.

The Zhao army's foot soldiers, who were completely stunned by a rain of arrows from the Guangwu army, were in chaos, and they all found places to hide, and some even hid under the grain truck. The Zhao army on both sides, as well as a small number of cavalry, encountered the impact of the warriors of the Di tribe and waved their swords to resist. Some of them took advantage of the chaos to flee along the mountain valley road.

Liu Jiwu also ambushed dozens of people outside to intercept and kill these fugitives, but even so, he still couldn't intercept and kill these fugitives. Looking at the back of the dozen or so horsemen who had escaped from the horse, Song Qing, who was wearing a leather coat and hat and disguised as a warrior, could only shake his head helplessly.

Ordered his soldiers to cut off the heads of dozens of Zhao soldiers who were intercepted by their own troops, and hung them in front of the horse, Song Qing led his subordinates to the ambush to kill, and occasionally Zhao soldiers escaped from the battle group, and they were all killed by Song Qing's troops. The soldiers of the Guangwu army had already accumulated a bad breath in their hearts. At this time, seeing that these Zhao soldiers who were escorting grain and grass were so unbearable, their morale was greatly boosted, and they bravely slashed and killed, and these Zhao soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers, and they were terrified.

The Zhao army sent a team of 1,000 people to escort the grain and grass, but under the rapid attack of the Liangzhou cavalry raining arrows and the desperate attack of the hungry warriors of the Diren tribe, the headquarters only lasted for two quarters of an hour. As the commander of the army was killed by random arrows, these Zhao soldiers were defeated one after another. The hungry and crazy Diren warriors, after killing the Zhao army, stepped forward one after another to snatch the grain carts. Liu Jiwu, who was watching the battle on the mountain, looked anxious. However, thanks to the tribal leader Fu Hong, he took the elite henchmen and warriors under his tent to suppress the formation, and saw that the front army was already snatching grain and grass in a chaotic manner, and could not be restrained, so he personally led his subordinates to rush and kill for a while, and killed the Zhao army foot soldiers who were defeated and fled crying for their fathers and shouting for their mothers, and only hated their fathers and mothers for having two legs......

Liu Jiwu saw that Fu Hong personally led his troops to chase and kill those fleeing Zhao troops, and his mind was a little calm. He quietly worked with Cao Jian and Shao Lei to gather up the people in the valley who had cut off their heads, and then led the spare war horses to assist the warriors of the Di tribe to drag the grain carts scattered in the valley back in the direction of the camp where they were located......

At the same time, Chen Zhen also personally led a group of cavalry, all dressed in leather coats and hats, and several Zhao soldiers' heads hung in front of their horses, and ran towards their temporary camp. This time it was also a big gain, and Chen Zhen himself could also predict that in a few days, Liu Yao's army, which was on the front line of Jincheng, would definitely have a headache because of the lack of food.

The raid on these grain transportation teams of the Zhao army in Longxi was a decision made by Chen Zhen and the generals after making a decision. In view of the fact that the number of cavalry led by Chen Zhen was not large, and it was not enough to undertake the heavy task of raiding these grain and grass burdens, Chen Zhen thought about it for a long time, and then made a plan, so that he could take advantage of this famine year, Liu Yao and Liu Yao to mobilize troops again, contact those Qiang tribe leaders who lived in the Longxi area, lacked food and clothing, and were dissatisfied with Liu Yao, and distributed the plundered grain and grass to them in exchange for their support, as well as to send troops to attack the baggage team of Liu Yao's army.

Liu Yao mobilized his troops and scraped three feet of ground to replenish military supplies, which had already made the leaders of the Diqiang tribe who were in dire straits feel dissatisfied. However, since most of them had hostages in Chang'an City, they didn't dare to raise any objections to this. The only way to survive the tribe is to desperately reduce the food supply for the elderly, weak, women and children in the tribe. Chen Zhen ordered his subordinates to teach these Qiang leaders, change their banners, and launch a surprise attack on these Zhao army's baggage troops under the banner of Yang Nandi, the lord of the Qiu Chi State and the leader of the White Horse Qiang Tribe, which undoubtedly dispelled the last layer of doubts and hesitation of these people.

Liu Yao had personally led an army of more than 100,000 troops to personally conquer Yang. However, the Qiuchi is poor and the mountains and rivers are bad, and the soldiers have been infected with miasma, and the army is difficult to continue. Although he subdued some of the smaller Qiang tribes along the way, Liu Yao still felt unacceptable to the results of his own expedition. Yang Nandi is not stupid, seeing Liu Yao leading the army to conquer in person, he did not confront him head-on, but moved his family to the deep mountains of Qiuchi. Liu Yao's army gradually declined, and he was unwilling to withdraw in discouragement, and after thinking about it, he still gave Yang Nandi a reward edict, and Yang Nandi also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, indicating that he was sealed. Therefore, although both sides are not convinced, they have a step down, and everyone is happy.

Yang Nandi's anger was just used by Chen Zhen at this time. As soon as this strategy came out, those Qiang tribes who had no food and clothing responded one after another, and along with the Liangzhou military horses, they launched a devastating blow to the logistics and transportation lines of the Zhao army.

When the generals went to woo the small-scale Qiang tribes in the Longxi region, a considerable number of the tribes whose food shortage problem was not urgent chose to wait and see. After all, challenging the behemoth of Liu Zhao still made them afraid. However, when I saw that the tribes who attacked the Zhao army's baggage team with the Liangzhou soldiers always returned with a full load, I was also envious in my heart. Under this wordless agitation, these wavering tribes also spontaneously joined the battle against Liu Zhao's logistics and transportation lines. On the road from Guanzhong to Liangzhou for hundreds of miles, there was a lot of noise for a while, which made Zhao Jun's baggage auxiliary soldiers change their color.

Chen Zhen returned to the camp, and it didn't take long for Liu Jiwu to return. The results of this battle were outstanding, and the two hundred or so people led by Liu Jiwu, with the cooperation of the Fuhong tribe, actually cut more than 700 ranks, and even Chen Zhen couldn't help but be amazed when he heard Liu Jiwu's report. Liu's brigade passed, and several dead or wounded soldiers in the back row were tied to horses, and at the back, there was a grain cart dragged back by two horses.

Chen Zhen saw that Liu Jiwubu did such a beautiful job, and he was full of praise. Liu Jiwu also stepped forward and replied: "Yu Chen Duhu, the last general attacked the enemy this time, cut down 731 levels, and captured more than 5,000 stones of grain and grass for the Zhao army. The leader of Fu Hong gave this cart of grain to our army, and asked me to convey his gratitude to the guards. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded with a smile, and then looked at Liu Jiwu in the distance behind him in a daze, and after a while, he turned his head and said leisurely: "Ji Wu, this time our army led the Diqiang tribe to attack the Zhao army's grain road, how do you think the Zhao army will react next?" ”

When Liu Jiwu heard Chen Zhen's question, he had to make a gesture of consideration, and then replied: "Protecting the army, the last general is foolish, and the Zhao army should withdraw part of the front-line troops to protect the grain road." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”

Liu Jiwu thought hard again, and then shook his head. Chen Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "When the Zhao army learned that the grain road was attacked, it is likely that they will launch a more fierce attack on Jincheng County. to force the king to sue for peace. After this time, I should send one person to Jinxing County and ask the king of hell to send troops to aid Jincheng. Under this attack, the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, and in the future, they will inevitably strengthen the protection of the grain route. Our side should send more sentry cavalry to monitor, depending on the situation, whether it can attack the Zhao army grain team again. ”

Liu Jiwu heard Chen Zhen's foresight, and was quite impressed in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
