Section 403
Disease has always been the number one natural enemy of the army, Yang Wen was very nervous after suddenly finding out that there were so many sick numbers in the army, he called the military doctor to inquire, and when he learned that it was not an infectious disease and the sick soldiers were carefully isolated, he was finally relieved.

At the beginning, Yang Sui commanded 50,000 Xuanhuo troops to leave Jiping Fortress and go south, Yang Tianhong's biggest concern was actually the miasma between the mountains and forests in the south, as well as the many diseases brought about by the hot climate.
"So, there is no sign of a breakthrough on the enemy's side?"
Yang Wen laughed after confirming it again and again: "Since the Yue people are willing to stay here, it would be great." ”
Yang Wencai didn't care why the Yue people didn't break through, his task was to nail this Yue people firmly here, waiting for Yang Tianhong to come over with the follow-up main force.
A general should have his own responsibilities and a clear understanding, Yang Wen is not the so-called close confidant, all he can do is to be more careful, otherwise if he makes a mistake, it will be more than just a demotion.
......
Do the Yue people like confrontation?
In fact, they don't like confrontation at all, and it can even be said that they are terrified to the extreme that the way back to the south is blocked by the Xuanhuo Army. Although he still had a little concept in his heart, when Ruan Shuizeliang really found out that the back road was cut off, the only remaining luck in his heart was shattered, not to mention how desperate he was in an instant.
Of course, what to do after despair still has to be done, first to determine how many Xuanhuo troops are in the back road, and then what is the distribution of these Xuanhuo troops? Is there any other way to retreat back to the deep mountains and old forests in the traditional area of Baiyue?
There are a lot of questions, it's messy, but I haven't found the answers I should have.
Not only Ruan Qingshi Fang, except for a very small number of brainless Heiyue generals who have been shouting and wanting to fight with the Xuanhuo Army again, even Ruan Chen Heihu and Ruan Shuize Liang are all thinking about how to retreat.
The current state of the two armies has formed a confrontation, the Xuanhuo army is obviously dealing with internal affairs, and the Yue people are sprinkling a huge number of spies to find out the situation. In the wilderness, in the forest, in the mountains, the scouts on both sides can avoid the other or hunt each other. In the battle of the scouts, although the scouts of the Xuanhuo Army have advantages in equipment and combat concepts, because of factors such as terrain, and because the Baiyue people are born to hide and sneak attack, it is completely opposite to the Xuanhuo Army's abuse of the Yue people on the frontal battlefield, and the scouts of the Xuanhuo Army have no advantage in this kind of skirmish.
Yang Wen obviously still didn't know much about the southern battlefield, and when he saw that the scouts had suffered so much loss, he was immediately a little confused, and he was extremely strange in his heart, shouldn't it be his own side that completely suppressed the Yue people? It can be said that unlike Yang Tianhong's identity as an absolute confidant, Yang Wen had a strong psychological burden from the beginning, so that when he was leading the army, what he was thinking about at the beginning was to be cautious and cautious, and he always liked to think about simple things complicated when something happened.
Put the cart before the horse, the commander of an army should be cautious, but he is too suspicious and thinks about simple things complicated, so that even if he is really able to do things, he will be tortured to the point of collapse.
Fortunately, the Yue people and barbarians shrank together, giving Yang Wen enough time to adjust his mentality, and after two days of continuous confrontation, he felt that his father-in-law was about to come over with the follow-up troops, and Yang Wen, who had done nothing after taking over the military power, finally launched a tentative attack.
It was relatively quiet for two days, and the spies sent out by the Yue barbarians also basically figured out the surrounding situation, there were about 100,000 Xuanhuo troops in the plains on the west bank of the Jinsha River, and there was a Xuanhuo army cavalry of about 20,000 people within 30 miles of radiating out. As for the rest of the world, it's not clear at all. After all, this is already the limit that the Yue Barbarian Scouts can reach.
The most important discovery for Ruan Shuize Liang is that there seems to be no sign of the Xuanhuo Army on the east bank of the Jinsha River, and there seems to be no boat movement on the Jinsha River. Having found out this, Nguyen Shui Duc Liang left some troops to involve the Xuanhuo Army in the plains on the west bank, and the large army crossed the Jinsha River to the east bank, and then ran south desperately. As long as you enter the traditional area of the Yue people, it is equivalent to safety to a certain extent.
It's embarrassing, but it's a realistic idea.
Now, whatever the hell elevates the aspirations of the Yue people, and what the Yue people's ambition to look forward to civilization after the founding of the country, they all have to make concessions for survival. Ruan Shuize Liang and the others did not consider sending someone to ask Yang Tianhong to surrender, as a general existence of the attached race. However, the things that the Yue people did in Yuan County were really unseemly, even including the robbery and killing of the Yue people who entered the Kou Chu State for many years, although Yang Tianhong, Ruan Shuizeliang, had not seen it, but he had more or less heard some rumors about this Duke of Yiyong and the envoy of Anzhou Jiedu...... If you ask to surrender, it must be difficult to say what will happen to Qingyue and Shuiyue, but the most brutal and violent Black Yue clan will definitely be a fate that will be slaughtered. For this reason, Ruan Qingshi Fang just put forward an idea, and Ruan Chen Heihu immediately stood up more than a dozen leaders of the Heiyue clan, shouting to fight with Ruan Qingshi Fang.
Now, it has reached the point of life and death, and if there is ****** another infighting, I am afraid that even if you ask for surrender, you will be ignored at that time, right? Therefore, the road of surrender will definitely not work.
Ruan Qingshi began to prepare to summon boats that had been placed in various sections of the Jinsha River in advance to transport his people across the river. However, this kind of thing is very slow, and it will take at least seven or eight days of practice before those teams can come together, and at the same time, they are secretly cutting down trees to build rafts.
It's just that the confrontation just now lasted until the next day, and there was movement on the side of the Xuanhuo Army. This is really bad news for the worried Yue people, and the worse news is that the chief of the Heiyue Tribal Alliance said that he was not willing to lose the tribesmen, saying that the Heiyue had already made great efforts in Yuanxian, and if the Heiyue clan was still allowed to fight, it would be Ruan Shuizeliang and Ruan Qingshifang to unite to lose the Heiyue people, and then surrender to Yang Tianhong.
Nima: Not smart when you should be smart, but smart when you shouldn't. The only thing Ruan Shuizeliang and Ruan Qingshifang could do was to look at each other with extremely bitterness, without thinking about explaining anything to Ruan Chen Heihu, who had become a little nervous.
Explain what else to explain, Ruan Chen Heihu, who has always been proud, now finally knows that he is afraid, and he also knows very well that the things that the Heiyue people do will be the most cruel revenge of the Han people. This point, judging from the fact that Yang Sui led the army to retreat and killed all the captured Black Yue people, and some other Yue barbarians were just killed by cutting off their heads, as long as they are not people with abnormal intelligence, they should know how the Han people hate the barbaric and cruel Black Yue.
Speaking of which, Ruan Chen Heihu is just more reckless and impulsive when he encounters something, but it doesn't mean that he is an idiot. If Yang Tianhong's side can promise Ruan Shuizeliang and Ruan Qingshi Fang that they will not start killing Qingyue and Shuiyue, but just let Ruan Shuizeliang and Ruan Qingshi Ang surround the Heiyue clan, and so on, to let Qingyue and Shuiyue have a way out, then whether Ruan Shuizeliang or Ruan Qingshifang will not hesitate to sell the Heiyue clan.
This is to treat people with themselves, as long as they are human, they will have such thoughts, especially when it comes to the stage of life and death, the dark side of human nature will inevitably be infinitely magnified, anyway, Ruan Chen Heihu asked himself, if he can live like this, he will definitely do this.
Including Ruan Chenhui Hungry Tiger, Ruan Shuize Liang, Ruan Qingshi Fang, and even the leaders of other small tribes, they did not collapse in an instant when they learned that the back road was cut off, but fought with the Xuanhuo Army in Yuan County for more than half a month and slowly wore away, and after driving away Yang Sui's Chu army, they found that nearly 500,000 people had died on their side, and the elites of each tribe were almost consumed in this battle. Even if you set out with sky-high ambitions or ideals, you should be sober and sober at this point.
There is an idiom called "things must be opposed", there is also an allusion called "the first stick", the popular point is that the people's hearts are scattered and the team is not easy to bring, in Yang Wen transferred out 2,000 spearmen and 3,000 heavy armored infantry as the forerunner, 10,000 crossbowmen and 20,000 various types of light armor foot soldiers behind, the left and right wings of all kinds of light pawns out of the camp to invite the battle, the Yue people barbarian city heard the desolate horns and drums was quiet for a while, and then broke out into a noisy sound.
"Why, the Yue people have always been like this?" Yang Wenke did not personally lead the army to invite the battle, he stayed in the position of the arrow tower built in the camp, looking forward from a high place.
At first, Yang Wen thought that it was the Yue people who were mobilizing troops to prepare for battle, but after looking at it for a quarter of an hour, he found that it was not the case, and those who were running around were clearly scattering in all directions.
"Yingxiao?"
"Mutiny?"
Yang Wen didn't look like it, at least the Yue people were just running around and not killing each other. He watched cautiously for a while, waiting for the troops sent to press about three hundred paces in front of the Yue people's walled city, and when he saw that the Yue people still did not have anyone to meet him, he immediately ordered: "Wave the flag, beat the drum, and order the crossbowmen to shoot arrows." ”
Those were not all the orders given by Yang Wen, no matter how he was, he had the experience of leading the troops to fight with the Yue barbarians in Anzhou for more than half a year, so he got off the arrow tower, summoned the generals of various departments, transferred about 50,000 reserve troops, and also sent people to contact the cavalry troops roaming outside, and finally informed Yang Lie, who commanded the heavy infantry in the front, that he could storm the enemy camp on a large scale at the right time.
After making all preparations, when Yang Wen re-ascended the arrow tower, he saw that his crossbowmen were constantly shooting arrows at the enemy village, and from his direction, he could clearly see that dark clouds were constantly rising from the ground, and dense arrows crossed the air, and finally landed in the walled city of the Yue people.
The crossbowmen of the Xuanhuo Army fired the first few waves of arrows, which indeed caused a lot of killing and wounding to the Yue barbarians. However, after all, the Yue people will not stand stupidly and receive arrows, and after several waves of arrows in a row, the Yue people who can still move either hide in the shack or run far away.
Under the cover of the heavy armored infantry and all kinds of light armored foot soldiers, Yang Cheng, who commanded the crossbowmen, began to advance appropriately, and wave after wave of arrows were launched, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the front of the Yue people walled city was cleared out of the vacuum zone, and the ground of these so-called vacuum areas was full of arrows with feathers, and the Yue barbarians who were really shot to death would definitely not exceed two thousand.
Yang Wen, who didn't expect the Yue people to be so unbearable, was surprised in his heart, but his reaction was not slow at all, he saw that Yang Lie was ordered to advance slowly with the heavy armor infantry, and the light armored infantry on the left and right flanks were also occupying favorable terrain on both sides, and suddenly had the idea in his heart, "You won't just defeat the Yue people, right?"
Completely unopposed, the heavy infantry of the Xuanhuo Army quickly overturned the extremely rough fence set up by the Yue, and when they entered the walled city, it was not the enemy army that caused them trouble, but the chaotic shacks.
Yang Wen stood on the top of the arrow tower and saw that his own troops had already entered the enemy village and advanced about two hundred steps, but the Yue people had not yet put up any effective resistance, so that Yang Wen had to wonder if there was any trap inside.
In fact, where are there any traps, just because the losses in Yuan County are too heavy, Ruan Shuize Liang, who originally had a little prestige among the Yue people, is now not far from being abolished, and Ruan Qingshi Fang or Ruan Chen Heihu can only control their own people, and these chiefs or tribal leaders who have gathered together are roaring and scolding each other about who should send troops to fight against the Xuanhuo Army.
No one is a fool! Going out at such times is a "death" word. Who's clan is not a stupid pig, even if a certain Yue patriarch has the great feeling of willing to sacrifice himself for others, his subordinates will definitely not send him to death in order to satisfy his perverted preferences.
Actually, Yang Wen himself thought too much. There are as many as 600,000 Yue barbarians trapped here, and no matter how unbearable the walled city is, it covers an area of more than dozens of miles of housing. If you want to capture such a huge enemy village in a battle, it is only possible that the enemy army will withdraw from the camp on its own, second, the enemy army will kneel and beg to surrender, and third, it will set fire to the village, otherwise, even if the enemy army does not resist, it is not something that tens of thousands of elites of the Xuanhuo Army on Yang Wen's side can eat for a moment and a half.
There is no doubt that it is not so easy to turn a tentative attack into a full-scale attack, which requires the advance deployment of the whole army, and in addition, it is just tens of thousands of Xuanhuo troops under his command to attack the huge Yue camp, and Yang Wen himself does not dare to let the troops go too deep. Once the follow-up troops can't keep up, there is a danger of being besieged out of touch, no matter how unbearable the combat effectiveness of the Yue people is, such a danger is definitely not something Yang Wen dares to take.
In this way, about two miles or so of the camp was carefully pushed flat, the sound of the camp was heard, and the troops that had entered the Yue city because of the large number of shacks slowly retreated, until they completely withdrew from the walled city, and this tentative attack ended there.
When the Xuanhuo army completely retreated, the chiefs and tribal leaders of the Yue barbarian tribes finally finished arguing, and they were more eager to leave here, but they also knew that they must be prepared, these preparations included cutting wood to make rafts, waiting for the arrival of the Yue boats, and then selecting which people to be the rear troops. Of course, the troops behind the palace who stayed behind couldn't stay alone because of mutual suspicion, so it became inevitable that Qingyue, Shuiyue, Heiyue and other chaotic tribes would have to come up with some people.
Perhaps out of some guilt, Ruan Shui Ze Liang, the Shui Yue tribe, will have the most people left, and he himself decided to stay as the chief general of the army. However, the decision made by Ruan Shuizeliang made the Heiyue patriarch Ruan Chen Heihu fall into a state of suspicion, and Ruan Qingshi Fang himself felt that it was inappropriate, so both of them raised objections. Of course, Ruan Chen Heihu was afraid that Ruan Shuize Liang was fake, and the surrender was real. Once the troops of the palace have surrendered, what is the difference between the troops that have left the palace and those who have not?
On the other hand, Ruan Qingshifang's side is out of another kind of psychology, there are really not many people with a little foresight and prestige among the Yue people, although this time the Northern Expedition is like this, but it is obvious that no one among the Yue people can do better than Ruan Shuizeliang. If Ruan Shuizeliang is allowed to die here like this, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Yue people.
Just one defeat is nothing, even if it is a fiasco, defeat, there will always be a time when you can start again. Although this defeat has caused a lot of blood shed by the Yue people, they have already shed so much blood, and they may lose Ruan Shuize Liang, who is rare and far-sighted among the Yue people, Ruan Qingshi Fang feels that in this case, the Yue people are afraid that it will really be over.
"Let me stay. ”
When Ruan Qingshi Fang said this, he did not hesitate. Only the weak will want to huddle, because once you don't huddle, you will never be able to live. At the same time, in the stage of life and death, selfishness should be temporarily abandoned, and if it is only infighting when it is about to die, even if it can live, it will definitely become mortal. Ruan Qingshi Fang volunteered to stay behind the palace is not how great it is, but Ruan Chen Heihu obviously does not believe in Ruan Shuize Liang, the convener of this northern invasion. Let Ruan Chen Heihu stay, even if Ruan Chen Heihu himself is willing, Ruan Qingshi Fang will not be willing. In this way, things will inevitably come to an impasse, and the final result can only make Ruan Qingshi Fang stay by himself.
It is no wonder that the Yue people have been around for hundreds of years, and they are still like this, but there are too many idiots like Ruan Chen Heihu, and there are too few far-sighted and resourceful people like Ruan Shuizeliang. (To be continued.) )
