Chapter 984: The Battle of Han (Part I)

After a few spring rains, the Hedong area in March is full of spring, and if it were not for the stripped bark of the trees along the road, it would not have been possible to see that there was a drought and locust plague here last year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

East of the big river, Han Yuan, here is located in the suburbs of Hancheng, 25 miles away from the big river in the west, 100 miles away from Xinjiang in the east, just on the north bank of Fenshui, it is a strategic place for Qin and Jin to fight, and the famous Han battle took place here.

In 645 BC, Qin Mugong personally led his army to attack Jin, won all three battles, and crossed the Yellow River east to Hancheng. On 14 September, the Qin and Jin armies fought at Hanyuan, and although the Jin army fought valiantly, it was finally defeated because Jin Huigong broke away from the main army and was captured by the Qin army. It was one of the few periods in the Spring and Autumn Period when the Qin State was able to suppress the Jin State.

Today, as if history repeats itself, the Qin people once again hit the east of the river, but unfortunately they have not stayed long.

In the vast fields of Korea, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and a huge army that stretched for miles was marching along this road with hurried steps.

This army of more than 10,000 men can be described as a mixed banner, and the front army of the army is a Qin army of 2,000 lightly armed, with hundreds of chariots and a few cavalry circling around. They were followed by Wei soldiers wearing heavy armor, and ordinary Wei soldiers who were a little depressed, looking back at their homeland that was gradually moving away as they walked. But none of them had a chance to desert, because the Wei soldiers' families had been sent to Hexi and Qin as early as early spring, and they were also a mixed Qin soldier with a mixture of chariots and horses.

It feels strange that the enemy who has always been a friend suddenly becomes your comrade, the two armies of Qin and Wei are not harmonious, but there is no battle against each other, but at this critical juncture when the army is retreating, mutual vigilance is still not small.

In addition, they also left more than 1,000 Wei troops to garrison Hancheng to prevent the rear from pursuing troops.

Changed to ordinary people, when they encountered the enemy's army in front and the fortified city behind, they definitely didn't dare to chase after them because they were afraid of being flanked from front and back, but they didn't expect that they met someone who was not afraid of death today.

It was close to noon, and General Qin Guoyu and Wei Clan's Lu Xing received a report from the scout, saying that a few miles behind the army, an enemy army was chasing after him......

"How many?" General Yu and Lu Xing asked at the same time.

"Two or three thousand."

"Cavalry?"

"There are more than 100 light horsemen, and the rest are foot soldiers."

"Isn't this here to die?"

General Qin Guoyu laughed, but Lu Xing didn't laugh.

"The generals of the Zhao clan, such as Mu Xia, are cautious in their use of troops, so they crossed Han Yi and pursued them in depth alone, and eighty percent of them were Tian Ben."

General Qin Guoyu couldn't laugh anymore: "Could it be Tian Ben who crossed the river with leather bags and fell on a snowy night?" “

"Exactly! This person fought desperately, as if he didn't want to die, and this time he pursued regardless of his safety, it must be because the Zhao army was not far away. “

General Qin Guoyu put away his plan to turn around and cooperate with the Hancheng defenders to eat this Zhao army, nodded and retreated: "In this case, let's ignore him and speed up." ”

"What about the Wei soldiers who stayed in Hancheng?" Lu Xing was a little dissatisfied, in this war, the sacrifice made by the Wei clan was too great.

General Qin Guoyu didn't care about the life or death of those people, and said: "You also know that the Zhao army is behind, and it can't be delayed, at this time, you can only cut off the tail of the gecko and abandon the people after the break." After walking for two hours, we will reach the river, and although the Longmen has been burned, there are still many boats on the east bank of the river, and we have brought some leather bags, and we should be able to cross the river smoothly. “

Thanks to the Zhao clan demonstrating to the Qin people this method of allowing the army to cross the river quickly, the Qin Guoyu general felt that he would be able to escape this time.

However, after all, there were many people in the Qin-Wei coalition army, and there were some Wei family members who did not have time to leave, and there were also a lot of baggage, and gradually, the Zhao army in the rear entered their field of vision, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

The general kept asking people to go to the rear to look, and the enemy army had already entered three miles away, but there was still no sign of stopping.

He found Lu Xing again, and asked a little unconfidently: "That Tian Ben shouldn't dare to attack rashly, you know, our troops are five times his!" “

Lu Xing looked back worriedly, remembering the sharp spirit of that person breaking through Xinjiang on a snowy night, and muttered, "Who knows......"

……

At the same time, a few miles to the east of the Qin-Wei coalition army, three thousand Zhao pawns had already caught up with them.

Because they had to pursue the enemy, the Zhao army did not carry any baggage, and their armament was as light as possible: dark red leather armor, ring-headed knives or swords, which were almost all of their equipment. Their composition is also very complicated, because Tian Ben's official position is extremely unstable, so when he was demoted, the "soldiers" also changed their commanders several times, but the establishment has been retained.

After Tian Ben's surprise attack on Xinjiang on a snowy night and made a great achievement, Zhao Wuxian reinstated his officer, and this fierce soldier, together with the soldiers who marched with him on a snowy night, was reorganized and established a new light army, called "Trap Formation", which was specially used for field assaults and fortifications.

The so-called fate makes people more than this. Even Tian Ben himself probably couldn't have imagined that his official fortune would be so tortuous. Ten years ago, he was already a division commander, and ten years later, he was still a division commander, several times outstanding, and several times derogatory, but no matter what, the old brother who followed Tian Ben slowly disappeared, but this army returned to his hands, and he also became a famous "general" in the Central Plains.

He looked at the smoke and dust billowing westward, and then looked back at the Hancheng Wei army that was following him a few miles behind, not only was he not worried, but he was full of spirits. He rode up to the front of the army and said loudly to them.

"I have a word! Two or three sons and listen to it! ”

After Zhao Jun's forward set off from Xinjiang, he had been on the road for a day, except for resting and eating in Xuncheng, he had hardly stopped, and he was slightly tired at the moment, so he stopped a little and listened to what Tian Ben had to say.

Tian Ben's first half of the sentence passed, and he held it for a long time before he coughed again and said: "My Lao Tian is a rough person, he is not very good at talking, and he doesn't understand the big truth, and he can't say it like those pre-war oaths, so he can only say to you, if he wins and beheads the other side, he will have a land share, and he will have money to take, even if he is injured and disabled, he will be taken care of when he returns to his hometown, and he will be a township official and have face in front of the villagers." ”

These words were very down-to-earth, and the soldiers who were familiar with his style laughed, but they heard Tian Ben say again: "Although I am a puppet, I have been ordered by Shangqing's ear, and I have a little dignity as a martial artist!" “

Hearing Tian Ben mention Zhao Wuxian, the soldiers were in awe, and when they calmed down, he became serious and said to everyone: "When Shangqing was in the army, he told us a story.

"Shangqing said that there have always been three shames in the Jin Kingdom, that is, the battle of Han, and the invigoration of Huigong; The battle of the Emperor, the first to fight against the fate; The master of secretion, Xun Bo no longer obeys, and the shame of Jin is also ...... The person who said these words shocked the Chu array in the Battle of Yanling, retaining some dignity for the Jin people, but this shame has not been completely washed away today. “

He pointed to the land under his feet and said: "Here, this is Han Yuan, the place where the battle of Han took place, here, the confused Jin Huigong was captured alive by Qin Shengsheng, brought back to the capital and almost sacrificed to the ghosts and gods, this is the great shame of the Jin Kingdom!" As the martial artists of the Jin State and the soldiers raised by the Shangqing of the Jin State, how could we let the people of the Qin State and the traitors of the Wei clan who led them into Hedong be humiliated for a second time in the same place? “

The fierce-tempered soldiers were a little angry: "No. “

"Knowing this, can we still let them go?"

"Can't!"

"Good!"

Tian Ben glanced at the three thousand Jin Kingdom disciples in front of him, and said, "But you must know that the enemy army is five times that of us. In the face of these old subordinates who fought with him in the north and south, Tian Ben did not lie, and directly told them the situation of the enemy and me.

For a moment, the soldiers who had shouted that they could not be insulted anymore were silent.

"But they, like us, marched for a day and a night, and must have been extremely tired at this moment, and they had already begun to retreat, and their courage had long since been thrown into the river!"

"As long as you hold back the enemy for a while, the army behind you will be able to rush in, leave the Qin people and the Wei clan here, and completely wash away the shame of the battle of Hanyuan!"

Tian Ben no longer asked for the echo of the soldiers this time, and said to his standard-bearer: "Raise the flag!" ”

The flag officer stepped forward on horseback, holding aloft a battle flag painted with a brown horse and pheasant: this is the flag of this army, this bird is of the same origin as the domestic chicken, but it has a violent temperament, even in the face of tigers and leopards, it has to erect a crown to peck at the other party's eyes. It means that if they don't fight, they will die, and if they fight, they will not die.

"Loyal to the sovereign and wash away the old humiliation, just today, the second and third sons, if they are the men of the Jin Kingdom who have eggs, they will rush with me!"

"Wait! See you on the gimbal! ”

"See you on the gimbal!" The courage of the soldiers was completely aroused by Tian Ben.

Takeshi, the dry city of the country. On the ancient battlefield of Hanyuan, three thousand light soldiers of the Zhao clan, after shouting three times, launched a fearless charge against the Qin and Wei coalition forces that were five times their size......
