Chapter 137: The Battle of Jincheng

The spring breeze in March slightly swept through the land of Liangzhou, which should have been the season for sowing, but outside Jincheng County, the seat of Liangzhou governance, was a desolation, and hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou helped the old and young to go west into Qinzhou, Yongzhou and even the Central Plains a few months ago to escape the war.

With Jincheng as the center, nearly 400,000 troops have gathered within a radius of 100 miles, and every village, township, and town in Jincheng may become a battlefield, who would dare to stay here and beg for death?

To the north of Jincheng are stationed the 50,000 elite army of Tiele general Chai Shao and the more than 20,000 Liangzhou Han army that has been incorporated or coerced, and more than 120 miles to the east is the 25,000 integrated army and more than 8,000 Han army of Duan Decao and Changsun Shunde, the two armies echo left and right, forming a corner trend, guarding the 80,000 army of Li Shimin in the middle road.

Eighty miles south of Jincheng, Xu Rong, the first general under Dong Zhuo, commanded 100,000 Xiliang troops, and confronted Tiele's army head-on, while Zhiyang County, fifty miles west of Jincheng, was stationed in Zhiyang County, which was commanded by Lu Bu, threatening the flank of Tiele's army, and Jincheng County was garrisoned by 30,000 horses under the command of Han Suiyanxing, the general of the Xiliang army.

Although the Tiele Army has Li Xuanba, the fierce god of the world, but Lu Bu and Yingbu in the Western Liang Army are also brave and champion the three armies, and after several confrontations, Li Shimin can't get a little good, so he has no choice but to be in a state of long-term confrontation with the Xiliang Army.

The Xiliang Army is a local war, and there is no need to worry too much about the problem of logistics and food, but the Tiele Army is different, they are far away from the grassland, and the elusive Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the long grain road has become Li Shimin's biggest headache.

In the handsome tent, the eldest grandson Wuji cautiously reported: "Your Highness, four days ago, Lu Bu personally led 5,000 elite cavalry to raid Xiangqu and burned 200,000 yuan of my grain and grass. “

"Two days ago, Zhang Liao, the general of the Xiliang Army, led 3,000 light cavalry to attack our Wenyang grain team, and General Liu Hongji desperately blocked it, but Zhang Liao still destroyed nearly 80,000 pieces of grain and grass."

”。。。。。。。。。。“

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My army also has nearly 100,000 cavalry, why has it been repeatedly captured by the Xiliang army?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head helplessly, "Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang, this is the old nest of the Xiliang army, they are very familiar with every grass and tree in this area, we are new to the city, we don't know the geography, and the grain transportation road is thousands of miles long, it is impossible to fortify everywhere!" ”

"Report, Your Highness Qiqi, this morning thousands of Xiliang cavalry bypassed our army's defense line and went straight to Calyang."

"Not good." Hearing what the scout said, Li Shimin hurriedly got up and said: "Calanyang has 200,000 stones of grain and grass for my army, if it is lost, our army will fall into the predicament of running out of food, and quickly send an order to Chai Shao, so that he can personally lead the army to rescue." “

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

There is a distance of about 500 miles from Calayang to Jincheng, and the road is not a smooth road, but hills and valleys, and the grain convoy will take about six days to arrive, because of the continuous attacks of the Xiliang army, Li Shimin specially sent 5,000 cavalry to escort the grain convoy.

In the evening of that day, the grain convoy had been on the road for a day, and the coachmen were tired and had a sore back, so Li Shenfu, the chief general of the guard, ordered the whole army to rest here.

In a long ravine, thousands of ox carts were crowded together, thousands of coachmen hid in a shady woods to rest and eat dry food, and five thousand cavalry guards rested on the other side of the ravine.

Thundered~~~

The sound of horses' hooves shook the ground, and the dust in the distance obscured the sky, turning the sky a dull yellow.

"It's not good, there is a Xiliang army to steal grain, and all the soldiers are on the horse to protect the grain." The main general Li Shenfu hurriedly roared, and the five thousand grain guards hurriedly turned over and formed a defensive team under the command of Li Shenfu.

At this time, the entrance to the ravine in the distance was dusty, the sound of horses' hooves was fierce like thunder, and the eight thousand Xiliang army cavalry swept all over the mountains under the leadership of Zhang Liao.

"Kill!"

Li Shenfu roared loudly and led his cavalry to meet him, and the two cavalry collided violently and fought fiercely in the mountain col.

I have to say that even with historical elites such as Li Yuan and Li Shimin, there is no way to change the disadvantage of the grassland Hulu in a short period of time, and the five thousand Tiele cavalry, except for Li Shenfu and a few other generals, are all wrapped in leather armor, and I don't know how many grades lower than the Mingguang armor on the Xiliang army.

Therefore, with a clanging sound of swords, the poorly equipped Tiele army was defeated by the cavalry of the Xiliang army.

"Dead dog!"

Zhang Liao rushed left and right in the chaotic army, as if entering a no-man's land, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Shenfu, the commander of the Tiele Army, and immediately roared, and got off the war horse in his crotch, and the war knife in his hand was wrapped in a fierce murderous aura and blasted towards Li Shenrune.

Li Shenfu was taken aback, and almost instinctively raised the big sword in his hand to resist with all his might.

Throat~~

In the earth-shattering roar, infinite huge force poured into Li Shenfu's body with an unstoppable momentum, instantly shaking his tiger's mouth cracked, and the qi and blood in his chest rolled like a tide, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and falling off the horse with a bang.

Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation and killed Li Shenfu with another sword, turned over and dismounted and grabbed Li Shenfu's head, and immediately shouted: "Wait for Hu Lu to listen, your lord is already dead, don't you hurry up and surrender."

"Oh no, the general is dead!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao was holding the head of Li Shenfu in his hand, except for a few of the remaining more than 1,000 Tiele cavalry who were still resisting, most of them threw away their weapons and knelt on both sides of the road to surrender and said: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, and I hope that the general will spare my life!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

When Chai Shao arrived with 15,000 elites, he was greeted only by the mess on the ground, nearly 50,000 stones of 200,000 stone of grain were robbed, and the rest were piled up by the Xiliang army, and burned to ashes. In addition to the grain and grass that was burned to ashes, there were also thousands of corpses of Tiele Army lying on the road, and the head of the main general Li Shenfu was also cut off.

The only dozens of remaining Tiele soldiers were brought to Chai Shao, and the sound of their crying and crying made Chai Shao upset, and he suddenly yelled, "Don't cry, tell me quickly, how many Xiliang troops attacked you, and where did they go?" ”

One of the Tiele soldiers led by him stopped crying and said tremblingly: "Master Yuma, there are about 8,000 people in the Xiliang army, and they have gone to the southeast, and they have been gone for less than half an hour. ”

Chai Shao's face was pale, and he shouted at the Tiele army behind him: "Brothers, the Xiliang army must not be able to go fast with the prisoners of war with grain and grass, follow me, kill all these Xiliang barbarians, and avenge General Li Shenfu!" ”

"Revenge, revenge!"

The steppe people are the most vindictive, not to mention that there are also the brothers of the Han who died, which is a shame for every Tiele person. The fifteen thousand Tiele troops raised their spears one after another, and responded to Chai Shao with a shout that shook the sky.

"Good!"

Chai Shao glanced at it approvingly, and then immediately put down his war horse and chased it out in the southeast direction, and 15,000 Tiele cavalry rode their horses and whipped up, and followed closely behind Chai Shao to chase Zhang Liao's department.
