Chapter 205: Recovering Tianshui
Since the defeat of the former Qin Weishui, the city of Shangqi in Tianshui County can be described as the banner of the changing king. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In less than ten years, several owners have changed.
Not to mention earlier, in recent years, Shangtai first fell into the hands of Yang Ding, and then was occupied by Western Qin.
Originally, the outside world thought that with the strong national strength of Western Qin, it should always be able to maintain stability for a few years.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Shangtai to be attacked and occupied by Tianshui Haoqiang's ginger milk.
Jiang Milk's move made Xiqin furious, and he sent his brother Qifu Yizhou to fight several times.
For the first time, he begged Yizhou to carelessly lose Jingzhou, but he was beaten by ginger milk and fled.
After begging Yizhou to flee to Jincheng, under the encouragement of Qifu Qiangui, he regrouped and raised heavy troops again, vowing to break the ginger milk into pieces.
It's a pity that this time there is the support of Wang Maide, Fu Guang, Jiang Fei and others behind the ginger milk, which firmly blocks Qifu Yizhou from Shangtai City.
Just as the situation in Shangqi was gradually becoming anxious, news suddenly came from the north that internal strife broke out in Houliang and that Lu Su had been killed.
Immediately afterwards, Nanliang invaded Houliang on a large scale, trying to dominate the Huangshui Valley.
However, no one expected that just when Erliang was fighting, most of the guards suddenly led heavy troops south, and with lightning speed, they broke Nanliang and Houliang in one fell swoop, instantly changing the situation of Longyou.
And the begging Yizhou, which originally wanted to sweep Tianshui and Luoyang, had to give up the capture of Shangqi under the strict order of the begging and returning to the Qiangui.
The evacuation of the begging and returning to the first place is equivalent to loosening the tight spell on the heads of the Tianshui heroes, and making everyone have undeserved ambitions.
Soon, the heroes of the Han, Di, and Xianbeideng ethnic groups represented by Jiang Ru, Qiang Xi, and retired official Quan Qiancheng fought one after another to dominate Tianshui County.
Not long after the northern retreat of Yizhou to Didao, Qiangxi and the retired official Quan Qiancheng gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to surround Shangqi.
When the news reached LΓΌyang, Wang Maide immediately summoned Jiang Fei and Fu Guang and proposed a plan to go to Shangtai and recover Tianshui.
Wang Maide, who was sitting at the top, touched his chin and said to Jiang and Fu excitedly: "Originally, I was still worried about how to sweep away Tianshui Qunhao, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come." β
"The Governor plans to meddle in the Tianshui War?"
"That's right, right now, Western Qin is too busy to take care of himself, and then Qin has Longshan to block it, it is the best time to attack Tianshui."
"Winning Tianshui is the time for us to show our banner."
"At that time, the lord will be in the west, and my department will be in the southeast, and the troops will be suppressed by Caohan and Di Dao respectively, do you say that you can still stay in Jincheng honestly?"
"As long as he dares to make a slight move, Shuofang Li Huibu will let him taste the power of the iron cavalry attack."
"How to act, please supervise." Jiang Fei and Fu Guang asked for advice.
"You and General Jiang each commanded 3,000 cavalry to attack Shangtai, and strive to wipe out Qiangxi, Jiang Ru, retired official Quan Qiancheng and other powerful people, while Lord Fu stayed in Longguan and continued to monitor Yao Shuode in the east."
β¦β¦
When Wang Maide secretly dispatched troops and planned to recover Tianshui, the battle in Shangtai had entered a state of anxiety.
As the representatives of all ethnic groups in Tianshui, Jiang Ru, Qiang Xi, and Xiu Guanquan Qiancheng are all ambitious, and they all want to take the opportunity to seize Tianshui and dominate one side.
Because Wang Maide has always flaunted the banner of the former Qin, the three of them did not take him, the remnant of the former Qin, in their eyes.
In the opinion of the three of them, if they can successfully occupy Shangqi and then control Longshan, they can take Qinzhou and overlook the Guanzhong Plain.
Now the biggest threat to Western Qin has been pinned down by the Hexi army, and no one can stop them from moving.
It's a pity that when the three powerful men surrounded Shangqi to fight for life and death, they didn't realize that the six thousand Hexi Iron Cavalry had quietly arrived on the battlefield.
In June 392 AD, Wang Maide Liufuguang guarded Luoyang and Longguan, and Jiang Fei each led 3,000 iron horsemen along Weishui to the west.
"Report! The enemy situation was spotted at the front, and about 10,000 people were besieging Shangti. "A scout Pegasus came to report.
Wang Maide rode on his horse and raised his eyes into the distance, only the smoke and dust in the distance were filled, and he faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing in his ears.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he turned his head to Jiang Fei and said, "The enemy fighting is very fierce, and I didn't notice that our army was approaching at all. β
"The view around Shangqi is wide and the terrain is flat, which is very conducive to cavalry charging and killing."
"You and I each led 3,000 iron cavalry, raided from the left and right, first destroyed the rebellious army of the Di and Xianbei tribes outside the city, and then forced ginger milk to surrender."
"No." Jiang Fei hugged the horse and left.
When the sun was at noon, the mighty Hexi Iron Cavalry suddenly appeared on the battlefield, looking at the black pressure of the upper city and the lower part of the city, and every rider showed a look of eagerness to try.
They did not have the slightest nervousness, but were full of desire for merit and honor.
"Kill!" With Jiang Fei and Wang Maide's orders, the Hexi Iron Cavalry lined up in formation and slowly accelerated their charge.
The Hexi Army launched a sudden attack, shocking the two sides who were fighting fiercely, especially Qiang Xi and Xiu Guan Quan Qiancheng.
They thought that the person who came was the reinforcements invited by Ginger Milk, but they didn't know that Ginger Milk in the city was also confused.
But Jiang Yu is not stupid, no matter who the person is, at least the other party is attacking Qiang Xi and retired Quan Qiancheng, according to the saying that the enemy's enemy is a friend, at least it should not be his own enemy.
At that moment, he seized the advantageous opportunity to launch a counterattack and suddenly moved back to many disadvantages.
On the contrary, it was Qiang Xi and Quan Qiancheng, who saw that Shangtai was about to arrive, but they were stirred up by a group of unknown people, and they were immediately angry.
As soon as the two of them combined slightly, they immediately divided the army into two parts, one continued to besiege Shangqi, and the other was led by Qiang Xi to turn back to meet the incoming enemy.
Seeing that the enemy took the initiative to attack regardless of the unfavorable situation, Wang Maide sneered in his heart, and instructed the people around him: "Show the banner and tell the enemy that the Hexi Army is coming, and if you don't want to die, surrender quickly." β
After receiving the order, the standard-bearer immediately unfurled the pre-prepared sun and moon battle flags, and in an instant, a jet-black battle flag fluttered in the wind.
The riders who were galloping in the middle of the race roared in anger when they saw the familiar battle flag.
"Hexi Wansheng! Most of them protect Wansheng! β
This shout didn't matter, but it scared the enemies of the three sides at once.
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Ru, Qiang Xi, and Quan Qiancheng of retirement did not figure out the identity of the person who came.
But this identity is really scary, they never thought that the Hexi Army would appear here.
Taking advantage of the enemy's head, Wang Maide and Jiang Fei had already controlled the cavalry to charge less than three hundred paces away from the enemy.
The two of them waved their spears and shouted: "Charge!" Kill! β
"Kill." The Hexi elite cavalry shouted in unison, started at the same time, charged, and did not see a little confusion, this is the style of the elite cavalry.
Looking at the Hexi Iron Cavalry that kept rushing, Qiang Xi and the three of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts at the same time.
"Shoot the arrows." Seeing that the Hexi Iron Cavalry was approaching within the range of the bow and arrow, Wang Maide shouted loudly and immediately ordered an attack.
Immediately afterwards, the Hexi riders relied on their superb riding skills, let their horses run, and set off a rain of black arrows when they landed.
"Speed up the charge."
After firing two rounds of arrows, the Hexi cavalry suddenly increased its speed, and in the blink of an eye, it charged in front of the enemy's eyes.
"Projection."
The Hexi Elite Cavalry threw short spears at the enemy, and in an instant there was a terrible sound of air breaking through the sky.
Many of the enemy were directly stabbed by the short spear and fell off their horses, killing and wounding countless people.
Qiang Xi looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, he didn't expect the Hexi Army to attack so fiercely, and the two armies had not officially engaged the enemy, and his side had suffered heavy losses.
After several rounds of long-range exchanges, the enemy and the enemy gradually approached within a few dozen paces, and all the riders were ready for hand-to-hand combat.
The cavalrymen drew their sabers at their waists and slashed at the enemy.
"Die."
Jiang Fei and Wang Maide danced the steel spears in their hands into a whirlwind, and the Hulu riders in front of them were picked off their horses one after another, none of them survived, and all of them were invincible.
All the Di and Xianbei people looked at the god-like Hexi Iron Cavalry in amazement, they never expected that the warriors in the tribe would be so vulnerable in the hands of the other party.
Jiang Ru, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw the Di people and Xianbei people being slaughtered by the Hexi army one by one, it seemed that the dream of separating Tianshui could not be realized.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of cavalry rushed into the ground formation, and the roar of the earth was heard throughout the four fields, and the knight brandished his saber and slashed at Hu Lu.
For a time, the battlefield was full of people on their backs, and the soldiers who unfortunately fell off their horses were instantly drowned by the raging iron hooves, the neighing of war horses, the screams of soldiers, and the sound of knives and guns were intertwined, and the whole earth seemed to be boiling......
In the dust, the enemy and the enemy were red-eyed, flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the entire battlefield was like a slaughterhouse.
With the passage of time, the Hexi army became more and more courageous, and the rabble composed of village warriors, tribesmen, and herdsmen on the opposite side finally could not bear the pressure and began to disperse.
In the chaos, Jiang Fei chased after Qiang Xi closely, killed this Di clan hero from behind, and then rushed to kill him with a knife!
"Qiangxi is dead! The rest surrendered and avoided death, and those who resisted were killed. β
