Chapter 331: A Tooth for a Tooth
The northernmost section of Yunzhong County, the Fengsui Smoke Plug, claims to be in a continuous row, guarding the mountains and rivers behind it along the undulating mountain trend, and its name is also called the Great Wall. ¥f
The Great Wall of Qin is dilapidated, and the rebuilt New Great Wall has not stopped for decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the New Great Wall near Yinshan Mountain has not had time to be repaired, and more places are blocked by stones and felled trees, and only a few beacons are burning on the lonely mountain.
Captain Fengsui stood on the fortress, looking at a few wisps of wolf smoke in the distance, his heart sank slightly, since the Qin Dynasty, there was a strict Fengsui management system in the army, and there was a white smoke ignited every morning and evening as a signal to report safety, if it was outdated and smokeless, it meant that it was surrounded by the enemy or had been captured.
Except for the specified two times when there is smoke from generation to generation, any other situation of smoke represents the hostile situation, wolf smoke is the most serious enemy situation, which means that there is a main force of the Huns with a large army to break into the Han realm, Fengsui Duwei did not hesitate to rush to the high platform: "Hurry up!" Immediately light the wolf smoke, the Huns are coming! ”
The beacon fire ignited the wolf smoke on the mountain, and the speed of the beacon fortress was much faster than that of the flying pigeon, spreading from Yunzhong County to Yanmen County to Daiguo, Taiyuan County, and Hedong County.
Uncle Chen stood between the ridges of the Fen River, looking up at the unreachable mountains with black smoke like dark clouds floating silently, the last time a beacon fire symbolizing a large-scale invasion was more than 30 years ago, when the old Shangdan Yu led an army of more than 100,000 Huns to capture Ganquan Mountain, hoping to test the Han army's determination to counterattack.
The black smoke and flames of that time also burned all over the mountains and mountains of all counties in the world, and that military operation brought unspeakable shame to the Han army, and most of the Han generals were reluctant to meet the Xiongnu under the influence of the siege of Baideng. So much so that the Huns plundered the border for more than a month before slowly leaving, and that blow is still remembered by the older generation.
"More than 30 years have passed. What will happen this time? ”
Uncle Chen looked at the mountains in the distance with a heavy heart, and the mountains and rivers in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty were everywhere in sight. It is the second hometown of the old man, and it is also a magnificent and rich land of mountains and rivers, and the old man is determined to defend this hot land with the rest of his life until death!
The black smoke on the top of the mountain burned for five days and five nights in a row, symbolizing the beacon fire of the border pass burned for five days and five nights, the Xiongnu barbarian chieftain Chen Yu led the Xiongnu army of 400,000 to invade the seven major counties on the northern border, and the retreating Han army was still trapped in the Xiongnu border and was still uncertain about life and death.
The court was silent, as if caught in a long thought, and the Han people were silent. It seems that something is brewing in the heart.
A few days later, the beautiful eagles patrolled their territory in the mountain stream, and they locked their eyes on the vast land, watching curiously as the ground moved slowly like soldier ants.
Whining!
On the city of Anyi, Hedong County, the conch that had not been used for a long time was blown.
Hundreds of county soldiers gathered under the city, waiting quietly in front of the red and black flags.
In a moment and a half, more people gathered under the city of Anyi, they were woodcutters carrying burdens, fishermen with hats on their heads. The farmer who laid down the hoe and the craftsman who carried the hammer stood quietly behind the county soldiers waiting for the call-up order.
But a moment later, the soldiers who came down from the city read out the conscription order.
"The Han army conscription order, anyone over twenty-three years old. Those under the age of 65 with two men in their families will be unconditionally conscripted into the reserve county soldiers, and the selected ones will carry their bags to the city to report. ”
The short, scribbled handwriting did not interfere with reading, and the call-up order was unsurprisingly uncertain. But no one was dissatisfied with the vague expression, and the original intention of the reserve county soldiers was to defeat all the Shangjun soldiers in the Han army. The county soldiers ran out of reserve county soldiers, and it was about the same time. More than a dozen counties in the north issued similar mobilization orders, and the county soldiers were ready to support the border counties.
As the core of the huge war machine, the city of Chang'an was full of murderous atmosphere, the east and west cities were completely blocked by martial law soldiers, and the urgently recruited 100,000 troops locked up inside and outside Chang'an, and the remaining southern army sat in the camp in the south of the city to be responsible for the defense and patrol of the palace area in the city.
Liu Che rode his red war horse out of the city to inspect the cavalry of Taixue's new formation and returned to Weiyang Palace, and urgently convened the third military meeting of the day to discuss the empty defense arrangements of the Beijing Division.
"Turn back the general of the Che Cavalry? Absolutely not! Longxi County is being attacked by the full force of the Right Xian Wang, and the imperial court did not send troops to support it, but asked the general to return to the division to protect it, and let Longxi County be broken, and who could bear the responsibility for not protecting Guanzhong. Daxing made Wang Hui talk with extreme confidence in the Xuanshu Palace, analyzing the Han and Hungarian patterns and quoting scriptures, and no one could say anything about him for a while.
Liu Che asked, "What should it mean according to the Great Order?" ”
"Only if Your Majesty drives the expedition in person and deters the Huns from not daring to act rashly, then this crisis will be naturally solved."
"Nonsense! The son of a daughter can't sit down, and the Son of Heaven has to be guarded by 10,000 people when he leaves Chang'an, not to mention the distant and dangerous border distress place! Failure to have etiquette at the border is a great crime! Imperial Doctor Han Anguo retorted without hesitation.
The Son of Heaven waved his hand dissatisfiedly and said, "I don't plan to listen to you say this, so I immediately ordered the soldiers of the counties in the southern counties to come to Beijing to protect them. ”
"Your Majesty, there are one million newly recruited reserve county soldiers, please take a look!"
Liu Che pondered for a moment: "Is one million enough?" ”
"Your Majesty can rest assured that there is no problem, as long as you gain time to create an opportunity for General Wei to return to Chang'an."
"I'm going to rely on people to solve the crisis again? No! I remember the Emperor's earnest teachings that the Son of Heaven must not submit to anyone! Liu Che's gaze became more determined.
Longxi County, the season is still cool near midsummer, the three largest fortresses in the north have been surrounded by the Youxian Wang's troops, and the Han prisoners were forced to stand on the front line of the battlefield under the deterrence of horse whips and bows.
The overwhelming cry under the city, which was the desperate cry and wail of the captives, the soldiers of the county in the city were furious, eager to rush out of the strong fortress and fight the Huns, but the expectations of the Huns were disappointed again.
Bang Bang Bang!
Youxian Wang stood under the banner of the silver wolf and silently watched the Han defenders who were not moving at the head of the city, today's 10,000 Han people lost no less than 1,000 people in the city, and the Han army in the city still showed mercy to his compatriots, but it was only forced to fight back, and climbing the city wall with a simple ladder would still be shot down, even if his men were merciful, they would still be killed or injured.
The new fortress of Longxi County is too strong, especially the large military fortress of Jincheng with a length and width of 300 zhang, the inner and outer double city walls and the complex stepped city that surrounds and rises, all of which are made of stone and three-fold soil raw material cement composite, and there are wells and granaries in it that can support three years of standing, especially the city has 12,000 residents and 3,000 defenders, relying on the terrain advantages to worry about the siege on all sides, and the numerical advantage of the Huns almost no longer exists.
Jincheng fortress is like a hedgehog with steel needles all over the body, the group is a ball of triangles and six edges to pierce people everywhere, facing the Huns who are good at field warfare but not good siege warfare have an advantage, especially the right Xianwang who has bad teeth to face the risk of breaking teeth.
King Youxian's face turned blue, and he didn't even pierce the oil skin of Jincheng for ten days, and the loss of Hun tribe cavalry was at least six hundred, and the number of defenders in the city was only in double digits, if you really want to let King Youxian say a number, he estimated that the Han army killed up to thirty defenders, and most of them were killed by stray arrows, and the difference of twenty times the battle damage was intolerable to any commander.
The long stalemate forced King Youxian to come up with a crooked move to let the Han people capture the city, but unfortunately, the defenders in the city were extremely tenacious, and they did not hesitate to repel the captured cannon fodder army with a little mercy.
"How many more of our captives do we have?"
"Less than twenty thousand."
King Youxian roared viciously: "I need more Hanmin, go and arrest people!" ”
The little kings of the Huns looked at each other awkwardly and shook their heads in unison, the people on the grassland have always been upright and don't like to beat around the bush, and if they can't catch it, they can't catch it and will never beat around the bush, the roar of the right sage king can not scare people, for the right sage king legion composed of large tribes, each tribe has relative autonomy, as the leader of the alliance, the right sage king can be dealt with in accordance with strict rules, but it cannot be mandatory how to act.
At most, he only set the rules acceptable to the tribal kings as the leader of the alliance, and used the rules to constantly exert pressure on the tribal king, the best way is to distribute the spoils of war and the loss of the right to speak and invisible interests brought about by the rise and fall of status, when all the Hun kings said that they could not do anything, even if the alliance leader Youxian Wang was very angry and helpless.
King Youxian was furious: "Why can't you arrest it?" Just because of the black-armored cavalry of the Han army in the south? ”
The little kings nodded honestly.
"Bastard! The black-armored cavalry is wreaking havoc in the left land of the Huns, what do you do? Give me to immediately go south to plunder the Han people and be a death army! Otherwise, you will be replaced by your own people. ”
In the grassland desert, a tribe that has not fallen behind for decades, Xiao Wang has no fools, the black cavalry can beat the left of the Huns, and you can beat the right of the Huns, and you look down on the black armor soldiers and go up by yourself, a group of Hun Xiao Wang made "You can do it, you can't do it, I won't go up" The action of the right Xian Wang was half dead.
The Xiongnu tribal alliance is nominally called the Huns, but in fact the real Xiongnu only occupy one-eighth of the total population of the grassland, a large number of Yueshi people, Rongdi, Xianbei people, Ding Ling people, Kunjian people are mixed with which they all call themselves Huns, they usually follow the Huns to eat meat and drink soup, really have to face huge adversity and difficulties, immediately the tree fell and scattered, each went back to his own house to find his mother.
The Right Xian King was really helpless, and he didn't dare to kill the Xiongnu King immediately, so that he, the Right Xian King, would be dismantled by the angry Xiongnu tribe in minutes, including the most important of the Right Xian King, the king's tent cavalry from the major tribes of the Xiongnu Right Land.
"The king is not good!"
A horse galloped over, and when he jumped off the horse, he found that he was covered in blood and panicked: "The king is not good!" Our tribe was raided by the Black Armor Soldiers, and the tribe suffered heavy casualties! ”
"What?" The Right Virtuous King's eyes darkened and he fainted. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
