Chapter Seventy-Eight: Zhang Yan Rises Troops
Among them, the most powerful ones are Yu Yigen located in Shangai County, Changshan State, and Qingniujiao and Huanglong in Zhao State! These three are also the closest to the existence of Wenchou's jurisdiction at present, except for Zhang Yan's headquarters.
In the midst of this war! The Black Mountain thieves can be said to be four armies at the same time, which makes Wen Chou feel like he is facing enemies on all sides. Zhang Yan led the main force of 10,000 troops to help attack Pingjian County and Shahe Township, and Shangai Yuyi sent 7,000 troops to attack House County! Zhao Guoqing's Niujiao Bandit Kou sent 8,000 troops to attack Gaoyi County, and Zhao Guohuanglong's Thief Kou Department sent 5,000 troops to attack Taolinsai!
The four thieves rushed towards Wen Chou, intending to extinguish the reputation of 'exterminating thieves and driving out thieves and protecting the family and the people' that Wen Chou had just run! The number of troops they dispatched was also significant, adding up to 31,000! And all the military strength of Wen Chou is not more than 10,000 combined! This is really an unprecedented crisis for the forces of Wen Chou! And it is a crisis of strong enemies on all sides!
In the face of the menacing bandits, Wen Chou did not have any intention of panicking. It is impossible to expect the county soldiers of the county to support their own family, because even a discerning person can find that Zhang Yan was able to organize such a large-scale military operation because of the inaction of the county! In this way, what is the point of Wen Chou asking for reinforcements again? Knowing that there is no such thing as a possibility. No, maybe there is some meaning, that is, where justice is, where public opinion is.
In this way, Wen Chou still sent people to report the matter to the county, and symbolically asked for reinforcements! Even if it can't be done, then Wen Chou will not let Junguo have the upper hand in public opinion! He sent someone to ask for help, but the county did not send troops to help it, this is the mistake of the county, if Wen Chou does not send someone to ask for help, it is Wen Chou's own mistake. Wen Chou will not go wrong in this incident.
In order to deal with this crisis, Wen Chou had to mobilize the strength of the people under his jurisdiction as much as possible! That's 30,000 thieves! And there are no less than half of the elite thieves among them! Which one is not a character who survived under the sword! Wen Chou didn't dare to underestimate it!
I will not hope that my army of more than 10,000 troops will be able to successfully resist the invasion of so many troops! At the very least, you can't keep these thieves out of control! This time, the grain production will definitely not be completely preserved! The man-made disasters caused by the war will inevitably affect the grain production that is about to ripen. But there is no way around it.
Fortunately, Wen Chou's reputation in his jurisdiction is still relatively high, especially in Shahe Township and Gaoyi County, and it is even more popular! After his call, the people under his jurisdiction responded one after another. Go to the place where the armor is issued and get a pretty simple armor! This is the armor prepared by Wen Chou for emergencies, and fortunately, Wen Chou prepared these armors, so that these farmers who responded have some peace of mind and dependence.
This time, the strength mobilized by Wen Chou has reached as many as 50,000! made Wen Chou surpass the invading thieves in one fell swoop! However, Wen Chou did not have enough armor to give these elites, and only had more than 20,000 reserves! Among the other 30,000, they brought their own weapons, so that the army of Wen Chou was more like a thief, and there was no uniform. Second, there is no armor, and third, sticks, hoes, and kitchen knives are all in battle!
However, Wen Chou didn't think about completely relying on these peasants to expel the invading thieves, and it was these soldiers trained by Wen Chou who really wanted to fight the thieves and sword soldiers! The reason why he mobilized his subordinates was to make his army more powerful, which was to strengthen his army; Second, I want these farmers to feel the feeling of guarding their fields, so that the military and civilians under their jurisdiction will be more cohesive; The third is to show the outside world what kind of mental state the people under his rule are! He rose to prominence because of the support of the people. Instead of its military coercion oppression of the people!
After mobilizing these people, Wen Chou also sent a signal for help to other counties. Among them, the most important personnel of the third and fourth roads were to go to Duyi in Luancheng, Zhao Yun in Zhending County, Han Meng in Nanhe County in Julu County, Jun in Yangshi County, and Guangping County where Fu Zhu was located! The relationship between these three or four places and Wen Chou is not bad!
Some are business partners, such as Yang's county jun, some have a good personal relationship, such as Zhending Zhao Yun, Nan and Han Meng, and some have personal and business dealings with Guangping Fuzhu and Luancheng Du Yi. The letter for help has been sent. As for whether he could get reinforcements, Wen Chou didn't have much expectations.
Luancheng Du Yi is the most likely to come to support, and he is also the closest to Pingjian County, so he can support Jiang Xuan in the most timely manner! Besides, Du Yi once had a precedent of sending troops to aid Wen Chou, that is, when Gaoyi County was recovered. He once sent a thousand troops!
In addition to Luancheng Du Yi, the most likely person to come to support is Zhending Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun's position as county lieutenant was won by Wen Chou, and he was also in the matter of the fall out between Minister Feng Gong and Wen Chou, and once spoke in front of Feng Gong for Wen Chou, of course, he was not appreciated by Feng Gong. If there is something that fettered Zhao Yun so that he could not lead the army to support, it was Zhao Yun's personality, he was a relatively mediocre character, with his own beliefs, and at present, when the world was in chaos, his faith was still the system and dignity of the empire. This is also a factor that he has not responded to the article ugly!
In addition to Zhao Yun, those who can come to support Wen Chou depend on the three families in Julu County, but the possibility of the three of them coming is not very large, which requires them to have a certain amount of courage, one is the courage to dare to violate the imperial court and the county system, and the other is the courage to dare to completely fall out with the thieves! This is no small challenge for the three of them.
Wen Chou didn't care much about the assistance of this force, in his opinion, there was still such a truth, that is, to strike iron, you need to be hard! After arranging so many affairs, it is his control of the entire battlefield forces.
Gaoyi County has the largest number of troops and the strongest combat power, and the thieves it faces are not too many, so naturally it does not need so many troops to be stationed here for defense. It is necessary to do further work on the operation and investigation. And the strength of Pingjian County is not very large, but it needs to be against the most powerful elite army of Zhang Yan! This is where troops need to be brought in from elsewhere to help with the defense.
As a city that has just been won, the place is also the most unstable place, but there are no basic facilities there, and there is no large number of wheat fields to maintain, which shows that as long as the house county can defend the county, then it is a victory! As for the wheat fields and so on, they are not looked at by Wen Chou at all! It's a big deal to compensate the people here after the warehouse! So there are not too many troops here!
Taolinsai, as the place where Wen Chou rises, has Shahe Township as the rear, he is still very stable, and the strength of Shahe Township is also different from the strength of other places, they have more or less participated in the attack on thieves organized by Wen Chou and Jiang Xuanyan Liang! They are all people with experience in battle formations, although they don't have much experience! However, under the leadership of Sergeant Taolinsai, it is not a problem that the five or six thousand thieves who invaded in the future can be returned. After all, Tao Linsai's bravery is still worthy of its name.
In this way, it is a matter of transferring soldiers from Gaoyi County to Pingjian County! All the troops in Gaoyi County have reached 6,000 after the collection of the elite of the thieves, including 2,500 elite soldiers and 3,500 elite county soldiers! As for the 8,000 thieves in the local Qingniujiao Department, as long as there are 3,500 county guards plus 2,000 reserve baggage soldiers, it is already 7,800 strong people!
In this way, Pingjian County will be able to get the assistance of the elite of 2,500 core soldiers of Wenchou! Add to that the 3,000 soldiers you have, and that's 5,500! If you are encouraging some people to cheer around, there are more than 10,000 of them! In terms of the number of soldiers, there is no need for Zhang Yan's soldiers to be bad! But in terms of elite, it is still slightly inferior! If Luancheng Du Yi sent another one or two thousand people to come to his aid, then the disparity in the strength of the two sides would be further narrowed! If Zhao Yun came again, it would be even better.
In this way, the forces of the ugly are all dispersed, and they are basically arranged, just waiting for the thieves to come to the door.
Tie Qian led 2,000 county soldiers and 20,000 soldiers and civilians to defend the county and resist the attack of Shangai Yugen; Lu Liang led 3,500 elite county soldiers and nearly 10,000 county elites, responsible for resisting the attack of 8,000 thieves in Zhao Guoqinglongjiao; Dong Zhi led the elite of the Thousand Five Peach Forests and the Five Thousand Shahe Elites, responsible for resisting the attack of the five thousand thieves of the Yellow Dragon of the Zhao State; Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Wen Ba and Dong Jiang led 5,500 elites, and 6,000 elites were responsible for fighting against the main force of thieves, Zhang Yan's army of 10,000 people! Liu Zhong is located in Gaoyi County, in case of emergency!
In Wen Chou Yan Liang's team, there are Wen Chou's thousands of elite horsemen, which is the foundation of Wen Chou, and it is also the basis for his confidence in repelling this war organized by Zhang Yan! And the breakthrough of Wen Chou's army was put by Wen Chou on the 3,500 elite county soldiers led by Lu Liang! With Lu Liang's ability, he took the lead in defeating Qinglongjiao, and then went to support others. This is Wen Chou's trust in Lu Liang! It is also the key to victory or defeat in this battle.
Before Zhang Yan led the army to arrive, sure enough, the soldiers from Luancheng County, as Wen Chou expected, had already joined Wen Chou! This time it's two thousand county soldiers! This is a great help for the army of Wen Chou, so that the army of Wen Chou can finally collide with Zhang Yan's army face to face. (To be continued......)
