Chapter 5 Rushing to the aid of Jixian County
readx;?? The urgent report that Zhang Jiashi got was indeed sent by Ruan Weng Shao and from time to time. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info than odd, small, say, net, first, hair
What is written on it is that many areas of Guangyang County have been captured by Han Guang.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiashi had now summoned Chen Ping and Sun Po to his tent, and after he ordered his guards to convene a meeting of the corresponding personnel, he discussed this issue with Chen Ping and Sun Po.
Chen Ping and Sun Po have no impression of Han Guang. After all, before Han Guang killed the officials of Shanggu County and raised an army against Qin, he was just a small official. Chen Ping and Sun Po don't think this person is worth paying attention to.
After Han Guang quickly broke through Yuyang County, which had not yet recovered, beheaded the right Beiping County Shoutian Shuo, and even led the army to invade Liaoxi County, they listed Han Guang as a person who must be paid attention to.
After all, they had to pay attention to this person, because the other party was likely to defeat He Huai, and Liaodong County might also fight with the other party at that time.
However, less than half a month later, He Huai's army led the army to defeat Han Guang, which seemed to be in full swing, which had to surprise Chen Ping, Sun Po and others.
At present, it is understood that Han Guang was defeated by He Huai several times in a row, more because the general Wang Li sent troops from Yanmen County to the east, and immediately recovered Shanggu and Yuyang County, which made Han Guang and the rebel soldiers under his command feel uneasy.
Although, in a sense, He Huai's defeat of these enemies is actually a very big positive factor in the battle situation. But this was also the advantage of the Liaoxi County troops at that time. No one can blame much. After all, victory or defeat on the battlefield is more the result of one side being able to gain more advantages.
Since it is no longer the case, maybe Han Guang will hold a grudge against He Huai in his heart, but Zhang Jiashi thinks that it is also a very good thing that He Huai can get such a result.
And when the summoned personnel had not yet arrived, Zhang Jiashi asked Chen Ping and the others: "Mr. Chen, military advisor, from the letters from General Shi and Ruan Duwei, it seems that Han Guang has received strong support from the personnel in the hometown of Yan to have such a result. I don't know how the other side did this, but it's clear that we can't take each other lightly. ”
"Your Majesty, you are right, Han Guang was able to recover his troops in the fiasco not long ago, and even received a large number of material reinforcements, the situation in Guangyang County tells us that the strength of the other party does not seem to be weaker than the forces gathered when the other party got the land of the three counties. If possible, the minister suggested that the king must kill Han Guang to get rid of future troubles. ”
Listening to this, Zhang Jiashi nodded slightly, for him, Han Guang wanted to get the cornerstone of Guangyang County, of course Zhang Jiashi couldn't sit idly by.
After all, as one of the few first barriers in the south of the northeastern border counties of the Great Qin Empire, it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Jiashi to give up such a vital area.
The significance of defeating Han Guang as an external force and capturing Guangyang County was very important to Zhang Jiashi. Regardless of others, as far as Zhang Jiashi, who attaches great importance to the situation of Liaodong County, Guangyang County is indispensable.
Sun Po, who is also very aware of such a layer, naturally said his thoughts.
But Chen Ping was a little worried: "Your Majesty, if Han Guang forces the commanders of Guangyang County to surrender in this battle, then such a result will be even more bad for us." ”
What Chen Ping is worried about is that it seems to be a step too late to intervene in the situation in Guangyang County. And Ruan Weng Shao, who was able to intervene in time, and the troops of the two of them were obviously not the opponents of Han Guang's current troops.
After all, if Ruan Weng Shao and the two of them thought that they could defeat Han Guang's subordinates, they would not have sent messengers to ask for support.
After Chen Ping expressed his concerns, Zhang Jiashi then thought of a question, that is, he thought that Chen Ping and Sun Po's worries were quite reasonable. After all, at such a time, time is very tight for them.
Because what they need to do is not to get Guanzhong first, but how to defeat the enemy forces gathered in the Julu area.
And now, this one thing has happened, regardless of the importance of Guangyang County to Zhang Jiashi, just to avoid the back road being cut off, Zhang Jiashi, Sun Po and Chen Ping can't sit back and watch Guangyang County fall into the hands of Han Guang.
Under this premise, pacifying the situation in Guangyang County has become an issue that Zhang Jiashi and others must consider.
When they were going to continue the detailed discussion, the high-ranking civil and military personnel who had been called in came to this camp one after another.
......
Zhang Jiashi convened this meeting overnight, and many people had already fallen asleep. However, including the senior officers of the former Liaoxi County Soldiers headed by He Huai, they did not have any complaints about this. After all, Zhang Jiashi held a meeting at this time, and it was definitely an important matter to discuss with them.
After hearing the general situation from the military advisor Sun Po, the personnel, including He Huai, quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.
It's not that many of them know that the real target of Zhang Jiashi's southward trip this time is the chaos in the Julu region, but together with He Huai, who has defeated Han Guang several times in a row, they all know very well how troublesome the problem will be once Jixian falls into the hands of He Huai.
Jixian County, as the original capital of Yan State, in many ways, although it is not as good as Handan City, which has been lost but recovered by Zhang Han. However, before Zhang Jiashi did not develop Dingxiangcheng, Jixian County can be said to be a giant city second only to several major towns in the world.
Whether it is an arsenal or a military build, Jixian County, as the logistics base of the border counties in the northeast region of the Great Qin Empire, can be called countless weapons and armor, and all kinds of equipment fell into the hands of Han Guang, and they knew with their knees how serious this situation was.
He Huai, who pondered for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, in this battle, we must defeat traitors like Han Guang before Jixian is breached...... Both had to pay a very large price to eliminate each other. ”
He Huai knew one thing very well, that is, Han Guang was not incapable at all, and he was able to defeat the troops of Youbeiping County in normal battles, and cut down the county to defend Tian Shuo, so he knew that the other party was able to gather a considerable number of rebels and raise troops to go to the valley, which was not entirely due to his own luck.
Zhang Jiashi was naturally very aware of this, he nodded, and then asked He Huai: "I don't know what He Duwei has to do?"
"Your Majesty, if you say a good policy, you don't dare to do it, but we don't need to fight the other party hard, but expel the other party from the scope of Guangyang County, and we can also get such a result. ”
After He Huai finished saying such an idea, he slowly lowered his head and waited for Zhang Jiashi's instructions.
Zhang Jiashi knew very well the meaning of He Huai's words, and also thought that He Huai's tactics could indeed work, after all, as long as Jixian County was guaranteed not to fall into the hands of Han Guang, then it would be very difficult for Han Guang to develop. Therefore, in a sense, expelling Han Guang from the scope of Jixian County can also achieve the result that Zhang Jiashi wants.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Jiashi looked at He Huai, then glanced at Chen Ping and Sun Po, and asked the latter: "I don't know what Captain He said, Mr. Chen and the military advisor, what do you think?"
Chen Ping nodded, and after thinking about it for a while, Sun Po also agreed with He Huai's suggestion. After all, this suggestion made by the other party is also a good way.
After seeing the statements of Chen Ping and Sun Po, Zhang Jiashi gave an order:
"Captain He, you lead the chariot troops under your command, as well as three thousand knights, and go south as soon as possible to join the troops of General Shi and Ruan Duwei, and gallop to aid Jixian. ”
For Zhang Jiashi's order, He Huai is very grateful, after all, for others, He Huai, as a new person under Zhang Jiashi's command, although he has a heavy army, but people, including Han Xin, know that the other party was arranged in the middle and Su Jiao stayed after being promoted to the general's position of captain, although there is nothing unusual on the surface, but He Huai knows very well that these colleagues of his are more or less dissatisfied in their hearts. They didn't show their emotions, but more about their relationship with Zhang Jiashi.
Zhang Jiashi's arrangement undoubtedly gave him a chance to prove himself.
This task is indeed a bit difficult for him, but as long as he defeats Han Guang again, in many ways, these descendants of Zhang Jiashi's generals will naturally feel better about him.
Since he had decided to be loyal to Zhang Jiashi, He Huai did not want to be excluded by other colleagues, and this kind of thing made him very distressed.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, He Huai walked up to Zhang Jiashi, half-knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and said: "If you obey the king's orders, you will not disappoint the king's expectations." “
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On the morning of July 20, 208 BC, Han Guang looked at the "Xuanniao Flag" still fluttering in front of the city gate tower in front of him, and he was very helpless.
Shortly before, he led his troops south, starting from the Yanshan region to attack the Guangyang County region of the Great Qin Empire.
His original goal was to plunder some small county towns and replenish the strength of the troops that had been severely damaged after being defeated by He Huai.
However, he never thought that the local powerful landlords would vigorously support each other.
Han Guang, who got such a surprise, followed by a considerable improvement in strength, not only recovered quickly, but also improved considerably.
Under this circumstance, Han Guang, under the refuge of these powerful landlords, soon obtained a considerable part of Guangyang County.
He targeted Jixian County this time, because his strength had expanded too quickly and he lacked the corresponding material supply.
As He Huai said, the materials and corresponding facilities in Jixian County are Han Guang's goals.
However, Han Guang was wrong in his estimation, that is, the resistance of the Qin troops in Jixian County was quite strong. Under the command of the county guard Ni An and the county lieutenant Chai Xian, Han Guang, who attacked Jixian for six or seven days without being able to survive, was very distressed.
He didn't want to give up such a place where he might be able to lay the foundation for hegemony, but when his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, Han Guang was also a little helpless.
Of course, he now has the support of so many powerful landlords who are themselves left over from the Yan State, mainly the Qin army troops in Guangyang County, and a considerable part of them have been mobilized to fight among the giant deer.
However, once Julu's elite Qin army pulls out a considerable part of it to return to support Jixian, I am afraid that with his current strength, he will not be able to resist at all.
He had pinned his hopes on the support of those wealthy families who were willing to assist him and lived in Jixian County, but when he launched the third day of the offensive and saw the rows of heads hanging from the city tower in the north, he knew that Ni An and Chai Xian had already struck first.
He can be said to hate such a situation, but he has no choice. Because the other party has already made up his mind to come with him to see the real chapter on the battlefield.
The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him, and Han Guang is naturally very clear about this. However, he really couldn't give up the city in front of him. Because he also has his own ambitions.
It was like the words shouted by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township, which made his ambition explode.
He also has such a plan, that is, after capturing Jixian, he will directly claim the king.
"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning", these words made Han Guang want to stop.
Therefore, he finally decided that he would attack again today, and if he could not break through Jixian again, he would go south to join the Six-Nation Alliance in the Julu area.
And now Han Guang can't pay attention to what is called heaven and hell, it is just a moment......
......
Looking at the enemy army that launched the offensive again, on the north tower, looking at the black spots that became clearer and clearer, Ni An, the county guard of Guangyang County, felt bitter in his heart.
It is true that he has not only repelled Han Guang's offensive many times in the past few days, but even saw through the bad intentions of the rich and powerful in the city, and struck first to kill all the other parties.
But he knew very well how bad the situation in Jixian County really was.
That is, the more than 3,000 defenders who were supposed to be stationed in Jixian County, after receiving Wang Li's order, 2,000 people were mobilized to the giant deer.
And he and the county lieutenant Chai Xian, in these six or seven days, relied on the strong men in the city and the more than 1,000 county soldiers left behind, struggling to resist the enemy's offensive.
He didn't know how long he could hold Jixian with the current situation.
Jixian County does have a large number of various materials. However, these strong men who have no actual combat experience are even inferior to those in the countryside in terms of combat effectiveness.
After all, the latter still has a year of corresponding training. And the former...... Very few people have experienced anything like this.
Letting people who have not experienced the battlefield, or even have not received corresponding training, appear on the battlefield, it is a matter of sending them to death, and Ni An naturally knows what kind of situation this is. But he had no other way.
In the previous days of defending the city, he didn't know how many enemies he had killed, which was completely unimaginable for him, a student from Taixue, before he had experienced such a thing.
He had to vomit from the first day, a little unwell on the second day, and barely get used to it on the third day...... Until now, he has embraced this change.
He didn't know whether such a change was good or bad, and he didn't know what would happen to him.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the young general Zuo he had seen two years ago, when he was still a Gongcao in Guangyang County, the other party seemed to be doing very well in Liaodong County, not only that, but the other party should have become a rich man with those wines he likes to drink, those sweet honey, and those gadgets that his children like very much.
He didn't know why he was at such a time, and suddenly remembered the young man he didn't have a deep friendship with and didn't say anything.
"Perhaps, this is a warning from heaven that my time is running out......"
Ni An, who muttered these words, showed a look of self-deprecation.
He knows very well what will happen to him after the city is broken. But he never regretted it. Because he is a Guanzhong person, if the Great Qin Empire falls, the first to bear the brunt will be his relatives who are still in his hometown.
Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, Ni An slowly raised his hand......
When he thought it was the best time to attack, Ni An waved his hand down: "Release the arrow!!
................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Today's sun hangs high in the middle of the heavens, and the earth on which it shines is full of beacon fires......
On the streets of Jixian County, from time to time there are screams or the cries of some women.
The city wall of Jixian County, in the previous hour, was still declared lost, the county lieutenant Chai Xian was killed in battle, and the county guard Ni An was kicked down the stairs of the city wall by the enemy when he was fighting with the enemy on the city wall, and fainted.
The commanding officers of the Qin army of the other gates died in battle one after another or had to lead the remnants to retreat into the streets of Jixian County for street fighting.
However, as more and more Han Guang troops entered the city, the remnants of the Qin army had no ability to resist at all.
In the county guard's mansion, a hundred generals of the Qin army with broken armor helplessly watched as more and more enemy troops were shot and killed by his crossbowmen.
The street opposite the county guard is not full of corpses, but it can be regarded as a mess......
At this time, a weak voice came from behind the hundred generals: "How's the situation?"
Bai Jiang turned his head and saw Ni An, the county guard with a bloodstained strip of cloth tied to his head, and came behind him with the support of two teenagers.
The hundred generals shook their heads and said bitterly: "The county guard, the county lieutenant, the two five hundred lords, the county commander, the county lieutenant and other hundred generals are all ......."
Ni An, who heard this, sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner...... He slowly listened to the various voices coming from outside, and his pale face flowed with two tears......
......
Han Guang walked out of the tent in high spirits, he received the battle report in front of him, he was ecstatic, because he knew that in the near future, the city in front of him was his bag.
However, at this moment, a soldier ran up to him in a panic and said loudly: "My lord, an unknown number of Qin troops have appeared in the northeast, but the Qin army is in good shape, and it is rushing towards us!!
"Ridiculous! Where did that place come from......"
Han Guang was about to angrily reprimand his subordinates, but the more and more obvious vibrations on the ground showed that what the other party said was true......
...
