Chapter 345 The fight turned sharply
The 150,000 You army, led by Nie Lin and supplemented by Li Feng and Niu Gao, broke into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, which was like entering a no-man's land.
At the beginning, after this army left the mausoleum, it went straight to Bocheng.
Zhou Yan, the lord of Bocheng, has also received news that the city of Daoling has been broken and the enemy army is coming towards Bocheng.
At this time, the officials in the city suggested to Zhou Yan that they should abandon the Textile City and lead the people of the city to evacuate to avoid the edge of the enemy army.
Zhou Yan took the advice of the officials, but he only adopted half of it, he only ordered the officials to lead the people to evacuate, but he did not leave himself, and left the thousands of soldiers in Bocheng to fight to the death.
The officials were puzzled, the news said that the enemy army had as many as 150,000 people, and they only had a few thousand, how could they hold it?
Zhou Yan said to his subordinate officials: "My Dajin generals have never fled without a fight, although I am a civilian official, I must not embarrass Dajin's literati to be conspicuous." In this battle, I swear to live and die with Textile City!"
Zhou Yan's words moved everyone greatly, and many officials also wanted to stay, but they were all rejected by Zhou Yan. In the end, he only led 3,000 officers and soldiers of Bocheng to stay in the city to set up defenses.
The speed of the advance of the You army is staggering, it is a two-day journey from Lingcheng to Bo City, and the 150,000 army has to arrive in at least three or four days, but the You army only took more than a day to rush to the city of Bocheng.
Without any rest, after arriving in Bocheng, Nie Lin immediately ordered the whole army to attack the city.
The 150,000 You army, without reservation, launched the attack, the whole army was on the line, even the main general Nie Lin personally went into battle.
The Jin army is brave, and the You army is equally brave, the Jin army has the heart of death, and the soldiers above and below the You army have not considered whether they can go to the battlefield alive.
The two sides fought fiercely, fighting to the death.
There are only more than 3,000 Bocheng local troops. But he put 150,000 You troops outside the city for more than an hour, which made Nie Lin furious.
Seeing the ferocious attack of the Jin army, the soldiers in front climbed the ladder one by one, and fell down one after another, he roared and climbed the ladder himself.
See the Lord will be so. The soldiers of the You army below were like crazy, and the people shouted and shouted all over the sky, ignoring the arrows, rolling logs, and rocks on the city, and they just climbed up the city vigorously.
150,000 people fought for their lives, and the 3,000 Jin army could no longer resist, and soon, the You army broke through the Jin army's defense line, climbed the city wall, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Jin army.
Jin Jun couldn't resist. While fighting, they retreated to the city gate tower, and when they retreated into the city gate tower, there were only about a hundred of the 3,000 people left.
To this extent, no one in the Jin army surrendered, and Zhou Yan retreated to the top of the city gate tower with more than 100 remnants, and slashed and killed the You soldiers who climbed up.
At this time, You Jun was already victorious, and Nie Lin was much more relaxed, and he no longer let the soldiers continue to climb the city gate tower. Instead, add firewood to it and prepare it for a fire attack.
Before the fire attack. He deliberately stepped out of the crowd, looked up at the city gate, and asked, "Who is your lord?" and let him come out and speak to me. ”
Zhou Yan walked to the edge of the wall, looked down at the lower wall, okay, on the two city walls. The people standing densely are all soldiers and generals, black and pressed, like ants, and they can't be counted.
He took a deep breath and said loudly, "It's Zhou Yan, the city lord of Bo City. What do the enemy generals have to say?"
"You commanded Shoucheng?" Nie Lin asked in disbelief.
"That's right!"
"Civilian?"
"That's right!"
"Ha Lu Ha-" Nie Lin suddenly laughed, there is no shortage of brave people in civil officials, why not himself? He said solemnly: "Zhou Yan, you are now in a desperate situation, it is difficult to fly, I pity you are a talent, I advise you to surrender quickly, as long as you are willing to surrender to Dayou, I Nie Lin can take a head guarantee, you will have a bright future in the future, and you will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime!"
Hearing Nie Lin's words, Zhou Yan almost laughed angrily, and he said proudly: "How can a human being descend to a bandit?
Nie Lin was furious and shouted: "Zhou Yan, you don't know what to do! Ben Jiang has already piled up dry firewood under the city gate, if you don't surrender again, you will be buried in the fire!"
"Ha Lu Ha-" Zhou Yan laughed and said loudly: "When did you hear that the Jin State had a general who surrendered to the enemy country? Today I can tell you that the Jin State also did not surrender to the enemy country's civil servants!" As he spoke, Zhou Yan looked up to the sky and smiled.
Nie Lin hated the root of his teeth and was about to order a fire, when Zhou Yan suddenly stopped laughing and said sharply: "You thief, listen, the Jin Kingdom will definitely become the burial place of you!" After speaking, he jumped out, jumped out of the city gate, and fell straight to the bottom of the city.
"Ah?!" Such a strong civilian official made the soldiers of the You Army gasp, including Nie Lin.
Bo City was lost, the city lord Zhou Yan jumped to his death, more than 3,000 defenders, none of them survived, and all of them died in battle. However, in this battle, the casualties of the You army were not small, and fortunately, the people of Bo City were evacuated in advance, so that they were saved from being killed by the You army.
You Jun, who had nowhere to vent, poured out all his anger in Bo City, and when he left Bo City, You Jun set fire to the city.
Jinguo, a big southern city, burned for a whole day and a night, and when the fire receded, only a piece of rubble remained in the textile city.
The You army slaughtered the people and plundered the property in the city, and when they arrived in Bocheng, it evolved into setting fire to the city, becoming more and more brutal.
Chen Hao, the head of Wuling County, to which Bocheng belongs, urgently summoned the county soldiers and the county soldiers of the counties under the county, and united with the local militia groups to organize a group of more than 60,000 soldiers and horses.
The two sides engaged in a large-scale battle in the plains near Kanejo.
The two armies had just come into contact with each other, and the Jin Army, which had been improvised, had more than 60,000 people and wanted to compete head-on with the elite of the You Army of more than 100,000 people, which was undoubtedly a fantasy.
The battle had been going on for less than an hour, and the two corps of the former army of the Jin Army had basically been exhausted.
The main general, Zhang Kai, hurriedly transferred the concentrated army and the rear army, and the whole army pressed up, wanting to make the last fight with You Jun. As a result, Li Feng and Niu Gao each led a 3,000-strong You Army death squad, which was inserted into the left and right flanks of the Jin army, causing chaos in the formation of the Jin army, and even Zhang Kai, who was in command of the Chinese army, was killed by Niu Gao who rushed to the front with an axe.
The Jin army was not the opponent of the You army, and the commander was killed, and the whole army was suddenly in chaos, and the collective rout was defeated.
How could Nie Lin, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, let go of this opportunity, led the army, rushed forward, and pursued the Jin army.
This pursuit and slashing caused heavy losses to the Jin army, and no less than 30,000 people were killed, plus the two corps that were originally exhausted, the Jin army of 60,000 people, and less than 10,000 people fled back to the county town after the most reluctance.
In this battle, the troops of Wulin County fought hard, and they were no longer able to resist the invasion of the You army.
The Jin army was defeated, while the You army fought easily, so easily that it had just defeated the Jin army of more than 60,000 people, and went to attack the city non-stop.
Jiancheng did not make any resistance, after the city lord heard the news, he took the people of the whole city to abandon the city and fled.
The property, grain and grass that could be taken away in the future in the city all went into the pockets of You Jun.
After the city, further north, there is Liancheng, and further north of Liancheng is Hecheng. Hecheng is the acropolis of Wancheng, the golden capital, and if the You army hits Hecheng, then it will be close to Wancheng.
When the You army was stationed in Jiancheng to rest, the Sixth Army led by Mu Wu finally arrived.
The two sides once again engaged in an all-army battle on the plain near Kanejo.
The strength of the Sixth Army is not much, only 100,000 people, but the combat power is much stronger than the local army, and this battle is also the first hard battle encountered by the You army since it entered the Jin country.
The Sixth Army is the central army of the Jin State, which cannot be said to have been battle-hardened, but it also has the essence of the Jin Army.
In the process of advancing the legion, the arrows continued to fire, and the black pressure on the wave after wave of arrow arrays caused great casualties to the You army.
You Jun also launched a return fire, but the density was much worse than that of the Jin Army's arrow array.
Although the strength of the You Army is more than that of the Chifeng Army, when the two sides have not come into contact with each other, the army of 100,000 Sixth Army Corps is 100,000 archers, and the whole army is up and down, releasing arrows while advancing, and among the more than 100,000 You Army, there are only about 20,000 or 30,000 archers, and the scale of its arrow array naturally cannot be compared with the Sixth Army.
Nie Lin saw his own shortcomings, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to advance and engage in close combat with the Jin army.
The two armies advanced on their backs, and after a short time, the arrows stopped, and the most fierce and bloody hand-to-hand combat began.
The Sixth Army's melee combat is already very strong, but compared with the You Army, it does not have any advantage, and the most disadvantaged point of the Sixth Army is that there is no general in the army, on the other hand, on the side of the You Army, Li Feng and Niu Gao Er General are in and out of the Jin Army's camp, no one can stop them, and no one can match them.
The role played by these two fierce generals in the battle even exceeded that of two corps. (To be continued......)
