Although there is no large army in Xindu Prefecture, there are 5,000 special soldiers, and their duty is to guard the treasury of the official warehouse of Xindu City. The Xiaoguo army wanted to get these materials completely, so they did not provoke Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, who was temporarily stationed here.

The two prefectures, together with the cavalry soldiers, divided the army of 50,000 into five and entered the Shinto Prefecture from the front and left and right, aiming as far as the castle of Shinto. If the army of the prefectures of Jizhou is still there, the Xiaoguo army will not dare to enter the territory of Jizhou with an army of 50,000, but unfortunately, except for a few soldiers guarding the city, the rest of the troops of the northern prefectures of Jizhou have entered Youzhou.

Nearly 10,000 Zuowu guards in Xin'an City became caged birds and were trapped in Yuyang Prefecture, and the nearly 10,000 Jizhou Guards in the west were no better. Nearly 10,000 troops moved, and there were 5,000 people who escorted grain and grass materials. Now that the Xiaoguo army has occupied the Hejian Mansion behind them, their follow-up food and grass are cut off.

The Xiaoguo army did not send a large army to besiege it, but let the five recruit battalions of nearly 10,000 recruits constantly harass them, which was completely used for military training. All kinds of traps on the road, all kinds of terrain were used by the captain of the new battalion of the Xiaoguo Army, and they were miserable. In the middle of the night, gongs and drums sounded in unison, pretending to attack the camp, and not letting the Jizhou government army rest well at night.

What is even more strict is that the food of the Jizhou government army is gone, the back road is broken, and there is no way to advance or retreat. In the end, the commander of the army, the Governor's Mansion Ying Yanglang General Sima Wei decided to go to Hengzhou Mansion to seize grain and grass to replenish himself. Because, since the Xiaoguo army has invaded Jizhou, the withdrawal of its own army will face a counterattack by the Xiaoguo army. In the territory of Hengzhou Mansion, there are only more than 10,000 recruits. Of course, they didn't count the county soldiers in each county, which is also the difference between Xiaoguo's military territory and other places.

"General Hui, we have sent people to investigate the surrounding thirty miles, all the villages are empty, and more important things, fifty miles ahead is Xucheng, and we have nothing to attack the city in our hands." In the temporary camp of the Jizhou Mansion Army, Captain Yidu frowned and said, looking at his pale face and red eyes, he knew that the past few days had not been very comfortable.

"Asahihi! There was very little food and grass left for our army, but there were 15,000 men in the large camp to feed. There is a fortified city ahead...... Damn, why did there be a Xiaoguo army of less than 5,000 people in Hengzhou Mansion in the first place? What do you say that these 5,000 people are stationed in Hengzhou City, and the rest of the counties are only a few hundred people. But now? Sima Wei rubbed his eyebrows and said hatefully.

"General, there is not enough food and grass in the army, and the brothers are tired, not to mention that there are no siege weapons, even if there is, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight the Xiaoguo army with more than 10,000 soldiers."

The lieutenant paused and said, "General, rumors...... The Xiaoguo army has already captured the land of the four prefectures in northern Hebei, so what if we take some cities in Hengzhou Mansion? We are no different from street rats in Youzhou now, and we can't get the support of the people, so we rely on more than 10,000 soldiers......"

Sima Wei raised his head and stared at Du Wei, his red eyes looked weird, Du Wei was looked at by Sima Wei, his face was stiff, and he said embarrassedly: "General, subordinates are lying and talking nonsense, ...... are false."

Sima Wei retracted his gaze and said coldly: "Li Jiyuan, what kind of rumors, it's not fake news about the attack on our army sent by Xiaoguo. Don't talk nonsense in the future, you're a lieutenant. ”

Li Jiyuan, the governor of Cangzhou Mansion, looked at Sima Wei and said, "General, do you think what they said is true or false?" We now have no way back, and there is no way forward. The lives of 15,000 men in this large battalion were in the hands of the generals. In the eight days since we entered Hengzhou Mansion, except for occupying some empty towns, the remaining three cities have been guarded by these 10,000 Xiaoguo soldiers, forcing us not to dare to attack the city. And in eight days it was only three hundred miles of travel, and the night was harassed, and the roads were destroyed. And so it goes......"

"Captain Li, what do you want to say? Let's get straight ahead! ”

"General, in the past eight days, the Xiaoguo army has not killed us, not to mention anything else, it is to sabotage in the water, we have lost our lives here, passing through three dangerous places, the other party has not ambushed and attacked, but has persuaded us to surrender many times." Li Jiyuan took a breath and continued: "If Xiaoguo Jun is impatient, we ......"

"Are you afraid of death?" Sima Wei frowned and scolded.

Li Jiyuan said in an astringent voice: "General, as a lieutenant of a prefecture, I am naturally not afraid of death. If I am allowed to fight with the northern tribes, I will have no regrets. But what are we doing now? The Xiaoguo army regained lost territory and saved the people from fire and water, while we laid a cold knife in its back. This kind of thing that has been stinking for thousands of years, I am really afraid of death. The next official retires! With that, he turned around and walked out of the big tent.

"Xiaguan? Lower Official! It seems that you don't want to see me as a leading general anymore. Alas...... Governor, you said you did this errand...... It is long overdue to call it sick. Well, let it be. ”

The 10,000 soldiers were formed by the convergence of the three government armies, and now the situation is not good, each of them is a battalion, and they are secretly calculating something.

Other armies rest at night, but when it is the turn of the Jizhou government army, they rest half of the day and night, and now the army has no way to retreat, and the future is bleak. The morale of the entire army was low, and it marched forward without purpose, and the front, middle and rear parts were separated by miles, slowly moving forward.

Looking at the appearance of the Chinese sergeant, Sima Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly, how can this battle be fought?

The army marched more than twenty miles and stopped, not because they wanted to stop, but because there were also nearly 10,000 troops in front of them to intercept.

After Sima Wei heard the news, he rode his horse forward and came to the front, between which he saw a black line across the pipeline, and from a distance, three large infantry phalanxes and two cavalry formations on the left and right stood in place, silently waiting for the arrival of the Jizhou army.

"Command the whole army, set up the formation, beat the drums, and advance slowly!"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

As the war drums of the Jizhou Mansion Army sounded, the drummers of the Xiaoguo Army were also beating the war drums hard. The drums of war sounded, urging their soldiers to hurry into battle.

The sound of drums shook the entire pipeline, but the soldiers of the Jizhou Mansion Army did not have the power to assemble as quickly as in the past, and many soldiers were still scolding and scolding, and many of the soldiers frowned.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and Sima Wei found that in addition to the 10,000 soldiers on the opposite side, there were more than 10,000 young men in the rear of the large array, and there were about 3,000 cavalry on the other side.

Although the sergeants were recruits, they were obviously highly trained, and after the drums sounded, they quickly lined up in formation according to the officer's requirements, and divided them into small squares. It's like pieces of fish scales, layered on top of each other, inseparable. There is both competition and cooperation with each other. Once attacked, they would be like mercury pouring down on the ground, fierce and pervasive, rolling up a monstrous wave and swooping down on the enemy on the opposite side. If the Jizhou government army looked closer, they found that their faces were also nervous.

"Array! Fast! ”

"Array! Fast! ”

"Array! Fast! ”

On the side of the Jizhou government army, the speed of the formation was obviously much slower. It's not that they can't set up the formation, it's that the soldiers don't have the spirit at all. After the Xiaoguo army finished arranging the formation, it had begun to advance slowly, but there were still officers on the side of the Jizhou government army shouting loudly, ordering those lazy soldiers to enter the designated position.

"General, the other party has a crossbow machine!" Zhang Yan, the governor of Zhaozhou Mansion, pointed to the back of Xiaoguo Army and said in a trembling voice.

Sima Wei looked in the direction that Zhang Yan was pointing, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, and his face was even more gloomy as ink.

The soldiers on both sides looked at each other, and they could see a black oppressive human head slowly shaking.

The cavalry formations on both sides of the Xiaoguo army also moved, but they did not come straight to the Jizhou Mansion Army, but ran towards both sides, hundreds of meters apart, running in parallel.

The uniforms of the Xiaoguo army are all red, mainly to distinguish them from other armies. The military uniforms of the northern barbarians are of different colors, but most of them are mainly black and gray, while the Yan army is mainly black. After Zhao Xun unified Youzhou, the uniforms of the Xiaoguo Army were unified in red.

Red is a symbol of life, vitality, health, enthusiasm, vigor and joy. It is the most eye-catching, giving people a visual sense of imminence and expansion. Red is full of strength and impulse, symbolizing a positive, progressive mood. The original title of the red sword was changed to a black sword.

In addition, the flag is the Flame Qilin Flag, and red is the color of the Xiaoguo Army.

At this moment, the entire Xiaoguo Army was like a sea of red, spreading unhurriedly...... Several lieutenants of light vehicles slowly adjusted the military formation, while silently watching the response of the Jizhou government army. This time, the commander's solidified battalion Luo Qi, his purpose is to drag down the 10,000 Jizhou Prefecture Army, prevent them from causing damage to the counties of Hengzhou Prefecture, and finally achieve the goal of forcing or destroying the other party. After seven or eight days, the delay of the Jizhou government army was completed, and the persuasion of the other party to surrender was also partially completed, and some of the 10,000 Jizhou government troops were willing to surrender, and some did not answer.

Luo Qi was in the center of the Chinese army, looking coldly at the Jizhou government army that was getting closer and closer, he had no good impression of the more than 10,000 listless Jizhou government army, and he would not be afraid.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drum beat changed, and the two armies stopped less than 500 meters apart, while there were still 3,000 cavalry on both sides of the Jizhou Mansion army running back and forth slowly, and the longbow in his hand announced to the Jizhou Mansion sergeant that once the decisive battle was held, he would be hit by the rain of arrows.

"Come on, go and shout, if this Jizhou government army doesn't know how to lift, then kill them!" Luo Qi said slowly,

"Obey!"

Several knights rushed out of the large formation and headed towards the center.

"Listen to the soldiers of the Jizhou Mansion Army, my lord is chasing all the tribes in the north, saving lives and water and fire. Conquer the end of the east and regain the lost territory. For the country and the people, the world praises. Ran Er and other villains, attacking our army from behind, are no different from barbarians. ”

"Today, tens of thousands of my Xiaoguo army have captured the northern provinces of Jizhou, and your homeland is also in the hands of my lord. If you want your old mother, wife and children to admit that you are waiting, lay down your arms. Otherwise, you will be traitors who collude with barbarians. After death, he will not enter the ancestral grave, leaving a stench for 10,000 years, and causing disaster to his wife and children. ”

"This ...... The Xiaoguo army is really a bastard, using his wife and children, old and young, to coerce my soldiers. Jun Cao beside Sima Wei said.

"Alas...... This battle shouldn't have been fought, and now it can't ......be fought at all," Li Jiyuan sighed on the side.

"Captain Li, what do you mean by that?" Jun Cao scolded.

Li Jiyuan sneered: "What do you mean? It's your business! ”

"You ......" Jun Cao pointed at Li Jiyuan angrily, not knowing what to say. I think he is the governor of the military Cao, responsible for the list and assessment of the government and the army in Jizhou, and people dare to talk to him like this.

"General, this battle ...... My Cangzhou Mansion soldiers can't fight, my Cangzhou Mansion has fallen, and the soldiers are also worried about their families...... So ......"

After speaking, Li Jiyuan came to the left military formation under the escort of his personal guards.

"Move to the left and get out of the big formation!" Li Jiyuan squinted his eyes and ordered.

The three thousand soldiers immediately moved rapidly to the left, and in a moment, they were separated from the Jizhou Mansion Army Formation by more than 500 meters. Subsequently, the 1,500 cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, which had been wandering on the left side of the Jizhou Mansion Army, inserted it and separated the 3,000 people from the Jizhou Mansion Army Headquarters.

Things happened suddenly, and before the rest of the Jizhou government army could react, the three thousand left troops broke away from the headquarters.

"Lay down your arms and surrender!" Li Jiyuan then ordered.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly threw down the weapons in their hands. Li Jiyuan asked the soldiers to move a few hundred meters to the left, leaving a large pile of various weapons and flags in place.

The soldiers on the left who threw down their weapons seemed to be much more relaxed. At Li Jiyuan's signal, they all sat in place and watched the battle......

They have no opinion on surrendering the Xiaoguo army. The hometown has been captured by the other side, and there is nothing to fight here. Besides, wherever the Xiaoguo army went, they reduced taxes, distributed fields, seeds, and cultivated cattle, and built water, which can be said to be beneficial to the people, and I don't know how popular it is. And these soldiers are naturally a group of people who have benefited, and the officials are going to surrender, what else is there to say......
