Chapter 081 Counterinsurgency Professional
If you talk about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Jinyang County, they can be regarded as strong soldiers among the counties in the world, but compared with the trapping warriors trained by Gao Shun, the gap is not an order of magnitude. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The main duty of the county soldiers is to garrison the city, and they usually lack the opportunity to fight the enemy with real swords and guns, while the trapped warriors are veterans of a hundred battles selected from the most brave and powerful foot soldiers after various battles.
In addition, the commander of the Jinyang County soldiers was another Sun She, who had little military ability, so it became an inevitable result that the Jinyang County soldiers were blocked from the walls of the Taishou Mansion.
When Xu Huang led the cavalry to rush out of the Taishou Mansion, Sun She naively thought that Xu Huang was going to leave Cai Yong and Ding Yuan to escape, but he didn't realize that Xu Huang would go to capture the west gate of Jinyang City and welcome Lu Bu into the city. Sun's Wubao was dead, and Lu Bu's cavalry could gallop from Longshan to Jinyang in half an hour.
The county soldiers in Jinyang City were mobilized by Sun Shu to attack the Taishou Mansion tonight, and the other 1,000 people were guarding the city gates on all sides. Xu Huang led the cavalry to rush all the way to the vicinity of the west gate, and then jumped off his horse, carrying a double axe and killing the city gate tower in one breath.
The drawbridge at the west gate landed firmly on the moat, and three large red lanterns were lit at the head of the city.
Lu Bu, a "counterinsurgency professional", led the army to the city gate, Xu Huang went out of the city to greet him, and nearly 2,000 soldiers from the flying cavalry battalion entered the city.
In order to subdue the soldiers of Jinyang County as quickly as possible, Lu Bu let the armored cavalry rush to the front this time.
The 300 armored cavalry were divided into three roads, and 300 light cavalry were brought behind each road, led by Xu Rong, Wei Yue and Xu Huang respectively, and killed in the north, east and south directions of Jinyang City.
Lü Bu left 300 soldiers to guard the West Gate, and then led the remaining 600 light cavalry to attack the Taishou Mansion.
When the armored cavalry appeared in front of the soldiers, the deterrent effect could not be described in words. The cavalry of the Xianbei people had to flee for their lives when they saw the armored cavalry, how could the county soldiers, who were mainly light infantry, be able to withstand the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry?
First, the north gate and the south gate of Jinyang City were completely controlled, and then the east gate was controlled, which was a little farther away, and then the three-way armored cavalry surrounded the state pastor from three directions, blocking the county soldiers besieging the state pastor's house on the long street.
When the two county soldiers who resisted and did not surrender were dealt with by Wei Yue and Xu Huang respectively, the county soldiers were honest and surrendered one after another.
Outside the Taishou Mansion, Lu Bu did not give the order to attack, he was waiting for Sun Shu to come out by himself.
It's just that the final result made Lu Bu a little disappointed, and Sun She was still stubbornly resisting, using the more than 200 parts raised in the house to do a dying struggle.
Lu Bu sent people to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion to inform Xu Rong and Xu Huang, and asked them to select some county soldiers who were willing to switch to the camp.
A total of 2,000 soldiers attacked the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and more than 400 were killed by the trapped warriors defending the Prefecture, and the remaining more than 1,500 were guarded in the square in front of the Taishou Mansion.
After selection, Xu Rong and Xu Huang selected about 700 people from the more than 1,500 surrendered county soldiers, asked them to bring weapons, and arrived at Taishou Mansion under the escort of cavalry.
Lu Bu told the 700 county soldiers that they had all been deceived by Sun She, and that the Tiance Army had fought several battles with the Baibo Army in Hedong, so how could they secretly collude with the Baibo Army? Lu Bu announced that whoever can attack the Taishou Mansion and cut off Sun She's head will be rewarded with a hundred yuan and promoted to three levels!
Among the county soldiers, there are those with bright heads, knowing that this is Lu Bu asking them to hand over their names, and whoever retreats at this time will definitely not end much better than death. So, the county soldiers began to besiege Taishoufu!
There were no fallen warriors in the Taishou Mansion, only more than 200 troops raised by Sun She, and when the county soldiers began to fight hard under the coercion and lure of Lu Bu, the Taishou Mansion was quickly captured.
Eventually, Sun She's head was cut off by one of the county soldiers. Lu Bu publicly announced that he was promoted to the head of this team, and took out a hundred copper coins from Sun She's mansion and rewarded him.
After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, the rebellion in Jinyang City was completely quelled. After dawn, Lü Bu asked Xu Huang to take 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 soldiers to the foot of Longshan Mountain to attack Sun's Wu Fort.
Or the county soldiers are desperate in front, and the cavalry is supervising the battle in the back, and whoever dares to retreat will be shot directly with arrows!
The 4,000 county soldiers were killed by the Tiance army in the process of counterinsurgency last night, and there were 400 or 500 wounded. In addition to the above-mentioned county soldiers, the rest of the county soldiers were all escorted by Xu Huang to the foot of Longshan Mountain as meat shields.
In order to reduce the number of deaths of the county soldiers, Lu Bu told Xu Huang to attack Sun's Dock Fort slowly, and he was training his troops. Xu Huang comprehended Lu Bu's intentions, and specially found some carpenters and blacksmiths from Jinyang City to make the large equipment used to attack the dock fort. For example, ladders, wheels, well rails, door cars, etc.
Five days later, Sun's Dock Fort was breached, and more than 700 people under Sun Qi, except for more than 200 people who were killed while defending the fort, the rest were all captured. The swordsman who had killed Feng Gui's family of five hid in the crowd and tried to assassinate Xu Huang with a sword in his sleeve, but was split in two by Xu Huang with an axe.
More than 200 people were killed in Sun's Dock Fort, and more than 700 county soldiers attacked Dock Fort were killed or wounded. This shows how difficult it is to attack fortified cities and passes.
Lu Bu ordered that all the old and weak and slaves in Sun's Wubao be sent to Xihe to be used as military slaves, and as for the direct descendants of the Sun family and the soldiers they raised, they were first imprisoned in the prison of Jinyang City, and after the escaped civilians near Sun's Wubao were recovered, a public trial was organized!
Don't drive Nie Wei to commit suicide by taking poison the day after Sun's Wubao was broken, Lu Bu saw that Nie Wei still knew a little self-knowledge, and did not go to investigate the sins of the Nie family in Taiyuan.
After this incident, the wealthy clan near Taiyuan was silent, and they no longer dared to turn a deaf ear to the words of Zhou Mu Ding Yuan, let alone make irresponsible remarks about Lu Bu and Tiance Army.
A few days later, Zhang Yang personally led the soldiers of the left battalion of the 4,000 Tiance Army to Jinyang. Ding Yuan immediately appointed Zhang Yang as the Taiyuan Taishou, and in the future, he will specialize in all kinds of disobedience!
Because Zhang Yang held the post of Taishou, he resigned as the commander of the left battalion of the Tiance Army and was replaced by Xu Rong, the commander of the right battalion, and the post of the commander of the right battalion vacated by Xu Rong was replaced by Zhang Liao, the commander of the rear battalion, and the post of the commander of the rear battalion vacated by Zhang Liao was taken over by Xu Huang.
Although Zhang Yang lost his military position, he had 4,000 mixed elite soldiers for him to mobilize. These 4,000 elite soldiers, after the Yong'an division and reorganization, and after the training of the military tun, are not the same level as the 4,000 soldiers he recruited when he was in the party.
Although the Tiance Army was divided into a battalion of soldiers and horses, the total strength of the army increased instead of decreasing. The 4,000 elite soldiers that Zhang Yang brought to Jinyang still belonged to the Tiance Army. The more than 2,500 county soldiers who were imprisoned in Sun's Dock Fort were all those who counterattacked Taishoufu and Sun's Dock Fort, and they could only follow Lu Bu in the future.
In other words, the total strength of the Tiance Army, after the Battle of Mayi and the Jinyang Rebellion, increased from 20,000 to 22,000.
Don't look at the increase of only 2,000 people, these are soldiers who have seen blood and have been killed.
