Chapter 124: Prelude to the Northern Expedition (2nd Update)

On March 3, the third year of Jianning, late at night.

In the side hall of Liu Hong's bedroom, the lights were bright, and the figures were flickering, and I saw that in this side hall, the highest decision-making level of the entire Han Dynasty was gathered.

The five members of the cabinet, Jia Xu of the General Staff, and a number of staff officers and Jiuqing officials are all in this side hall.

Liu Hong played with the teacup in his hand and asked casually, "Where has the 10,000 mixed army of Sima Zhangji, the captain of the Iron Cavalry, arrived?" ”

Hearing this, Taiwei Liu Ju said, "Your Majesty, according to the previous recital and time calculation, it should be in the territory of Fuyu Country at this time, and it is about to arrive at the front line of the battlefield. ”

Liu Hong got up when he heard the words and came to the map side hall and said, "Since this is the case, then it will be carried out according to the plan, and the general Dong Chong will be the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Jia Xu will be the staff officer of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Hu Ben Zhonglang will Xu Rong be the deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Zhang Chun, the captain of the Iron Cavalry, will be the forward, and the Northern Expeditionary Army will be composed of a total of 130,000 troops of the Wushuang Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the Iron Cavalry Army, and set off tonight. ”

"No"

The whole hall suddenly stirred, no matter what faction, are excited about this matter, this is the first time in a hundred years that the Han Dynasty has launched a large army to hold a war to destroy the country, if the war is successful, then the decision-making level in this hall can be passed down to history, how can this not make these ministers excited?

Originally, the expedition of the army, especially such a large-scale expedition, had to be arranged months in advance, but at this time, there were five million stone of grain that was constantly being transported to Dahan, and Liu Hong was really not afraid of this logistics.

Just when the 130,000 Northern Expeditionary Army set out, the mixed army far away on the border of Fuyu encountered the first battle.

In the evening, the army set up camp on the south bank of the Raole River on the border of Fuyu Kingdom, and the mood of Sima Zhangji, the captain of the Iron Cavalry, at this time can only be described as walking on thin ice.

Where did Zhang Ji lead an army before this, every time Zhang Chun, the captain of the Iron Cavalry, issued a combat order, Zhang Ji went to carry it out, so Zhang Ji's heart was very worried at this time.

Along the march, the various departments have become intimate, forming a collective, no longer the separate groups when they first set out on the expedition.

Just as Zhang Ji was thinking about the marching route, a scout quickly ran into the big tent and said, "General, ten miles to the north, I found three thousand cavalry from Xianbei, coming towards our department. ”

"The order was given, the whole army defended in place, and the Iron Cavalry immediately left the camp, detoured behind the enemy from the west, and prepared to flank the Xianbei army with the front and rear of the camp." Zhang Ji, who heard the report, ordered without hesitation.

"No"

"Assemble, attack, prepare for battle." The heralds shouted loudly in the camp.

Xu Yu had just fallen asleep at this time, and when he heard the shouts of the heralds, he hurriedly got up, put on his armor, and took his sword.

Then hurriedly came out of the tent, and Xu You's tent was inhabited by five people who were responsible for protecting Xu You, and these five people also rushed out of the tent in a hurry.

As soon as he got out of the camp, he saw Sun Jian striding over and said, "Ziyuan, three thousand Xianbei iron cavalry are coming here, the general's order to our tiger army is to defend the eastern camp, and when the iron cavalry army appears from the rear of the Xianbei army, kill it and intercept Xianbei to escape." Come with so-and-so. ”

Sun Jian briefly said the matter, and then hurriedly followed, at this time the team was also sorted out, and after a while, the Tiger Ben army was strictly guarded on the east side of the camp.

Xu You's song is the second backup queue, so he doesn't need to pay attention to the situation outside the camp at all times, so Xu You whispered to Sun Jian, "What army is defending the southwest and north of the camp?" ”

Sun Jian looked around, and then replied in a low voice, "On the north side is the two thousand soldiers and horses of the Wushuang Army, on the west side is the one thousand soldiers and horses of the Shooting Sound Army, and on the south side are the two thousand soldiers and horses of the Wushuang and the Shooting Sound Army. ”

"Didn't you say that the Xianbei army came from the north? Why are there 3,000 soldiers and horses on the east side? ”

Sun Jian chuckled when he heard this, and said, "Nothing, real, real!" If a certain is the leader of Xianbei, he will definitely attack the east side, because this is directly inserted into the camp from the east side, and it can be interspersed back and forth. And the north is a river, how can the cavalry chisel through it? ”

"I see." Xu You suddenly realized, and then just as he was about to continue speaking, he felt the earth tremble.

Xu You's face changed suddenly, this was the shock of a large-scale cavalry charge.

As soon as Sun Jian saw Xu You's face, he shouted in a low voice, "Ziyuan, don't lose the face of a certain Han soldier, Er Naiqu is a staff officer with the army, and on the battlefield, Er represents the emperor." Otherwise, why do you think that the military law of the staff officers of the army is stricter than ours. ”

Xu You's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he shouted in a low voice, "I won't embarrass the Han soldiers!! ”

"Good"

At this moment, the military Sima on top of the camp shouted, "Zhang Gong!! ”

"Shoot !!"

With the order of the military Sima, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army above the camp immediately shot the arrows in their hands.

"Whoosh"

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was so piercing in the dark night.

The Han army's rain of arrows caused the Xianbei army to lose some soldiers, but Xianbei was not the one who was willing to suffer.

So when the army approached the camp, the Xianbei leader ordered, "Shoot arrows!! ”

"Whoosh"

"Bang Bang"

"Ahh

Listening to the screams of the Han army on the camp, Sun Jian's face changed and he said, "Riding and shooting!! ”

Xu You's face is also ugly, this riding shot can be said to come and go like the wind! If the Han army is defending the city at the moment, then it can completely ignore the cavalry of the Xianbei army.

However, at this time, the Han army only had such a temporary camp, how could it ignore the Xianbei army?

It is an exaggeration to say that the Xianbei army in this camp can be broken down with two charges, and what if the Han army does not fight back?

However, if you fight back, then it is equivalent to shooting at a fixed target and moving a target, and only the part of being abused.

But knowing this, there was no other way, just like that, in less than two quarters of an hour, Xu You's second echelon boarded the camp.

Originally, there was nothing to do with the sword and shield men, but in order to save more troops, the sword and shield soldiers became the mobile shields of the crossbowmen.

Xu You raised the shield in his hand and dutifully protected the crossbowmen behind him.

Don't look at the righteousness that Xu You said before, in fact, Xu You was still very afraid, but just when he raised his shield and a cup of tea, he looked at the colleagues who kept falling around him, one of whom was a soldier who lived with Xu You, Xu You suddenly felt that he was not afraid, not afraid at all.

At this moment, Jun Sima saw the fire in the distance and shouted, "Brothers, the Iron Cavalry is coming, open the camp and kill !! ”

"Kill !!"

Xu You rushed out of the camp with the team, and Xu You seemed to be a different person at this time, swinging a knife and slashing as if flowing water.

Sun Jian killed a Xianbei general, and looked at Xu You, who was having a good time, and was slightly stunned.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the 3,000 cavalry of the Xianbei invasion were annihilated, the Tiger Ben army lost 1,000 men, the Wushuang army lost 400 men, and the Shooting Army lost 300 men, but most of them were shot.

The Iron Cavalry only lost more than 100 people, and it can be said that this victory was won by the foot soldiers dragging the Xianbei cavalry with their lives.

In this battle, Xu You killed five Xianbei cavalrymen, and was slashed three times in the back and chest.

However, the big war is still to come.
