Chapter 146: Linqiang
At this moment, tens of thousands of Zhongqiang troops were crowded in the small mountain pass city.
Columns of Han people were bound with ropes, like cattle being driven and whipped by the Qiang.
The Han people wept, but the Qiang people laughed uncontrollably.
Just like the tradition of the Qiang people, the city is mixed with cattle, horses and sheep, messy and angry.
"Passing on the king's decree, you must not whip and bully the Han people." Mi Dang stood on the tower and looked at the city, dressed in colorful silk, with a colorful feather on his left and right ears, like a spotted moth.
A group of Qiangs such as Oh He Yaoge and Moth Shasai lined up the Qiang soldiers behind them.
"These Han people are only worthy of being slaves, why does the king open up to them?" Oh He Yao Ge looked resentful.
Mi Dang glanced at him, "Han people can plow fields, weave cloth, strike iron, build houses, and write, will you?" ”
He shook his head, "But will they be of use to us?" ”
Mi Dang said with a calm face: "In the past, the hero of the Han family, Li Ling, could be used by the Huns, why can't the Han people be used by me?" Do you know why the first zero and the burning dang were defeated? ”
"I don't know, please teach the king." The people on the left and right said in unison.
Mi Dang enjoyed the feeling of standing out from the crowd, "They were too impatient to know how powerful the Han court was. ”
"Since the Han people are strong, why did the king fight them?" The moth obscures the urn and the urn airway.
"At this time and that time, the Han court was strong back then, but now it is not necessarily, if I can accept the Han people for my own use, I will also be strong in the future! For decades, there have been many Qiang and few Han in the northwest, and as long as we take the West Sea, we will have the foundation for the establishment of the country. ”
"Thinking about that Yang Zheng thief, he has repeatedly broken me and other good things, this person must be eliminated!" Oh He Yao Ge looked resentful.
Mi Dang glanced at him condescendingly, "Yang Zheng is the captain of the Qiang Guard, if I get rid of him, it will definitely arouse Cao Wei's vigilance, Ye Wudai's defeat has proved that Cao Wei is invincible." ”
He was stunned for a moment, "Why does the king approve of his subordinates' schemes?" ”
Attacking Yang Zheng first, and then taking the West Sea, was proposed by He Yaoge.
Mi Dang smiled: "What you said was very right, Yang Zheng is quite ambitious, he will never let this king take the West Sea so easily, so he must be a toothless wolf, so as not to pose a threat to us, and it will not arouse Cao Wei's vigilance." ”
"The king is wise." The sycophants were dusty.
"So the king wants to attack Linqiang?" He Yaoge is a rare "wise man" among the Qiang people.
"Yes, Linqiang is the hometown of our Qiang people, taken by the Han army, this place is connected to the West Sea in the west, Xiping in the east, Lushui and Qinhu in the north, this place fell into the hands of this king, Yang Zheng not only broke the wolf's teeth, the most fertile land in Hehuang also fell into the hands of this king, and the western capital was also under the eyes of our army." Mi Dang smiled faintly.
He was defeated by Yang Zheng twice, and then he was beaten by Guo Huai and almost lost his life, Guo Huai didn't dare to provoke, so he turned all his resentment to Yang Zheng, "However, Yang Zheng is quite cunning, if you see through our plan......"
Mi Dang's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's okay, Linqiang is just the first move of this king." ”
"The king has a second move?"
"If Yang Zheng is prepared, our army can plunder the river, destroy its tuntian, break its dock fort, and plunder its people, this is a desperate plan!"
Oh He Yao laughed, and the stuffiness in his chest was empty, as if he saw Yang Zheng's life worse than death now.
The eyes of the surrounding Qiang people are like gods.
Mi Dang spread his hands and flapped twice, as if he was about to fly high, "In addition, this king has a third move." ”
The fan is confident, but Yang Zheng is a little weak in his heart at this moment.
He wasn't even sure if the fan was really going to attack him.
But when he was a soldier in Yamaguchi City, Yang Zheng had to mention the spirit of twelve points to deal with it.
A man moves to live, and a tree moves to die.
Yang Zheng's strength is not in defending the city, but in improvising.
Therefore, Yang Zheng led two thousand elite armor soldiers to enter the small stone mountain in the south first.
The large and small stone mountains, the Riyue Mountains, and the Yak Mountains further south are actually branches of the Qilian Mountains.
To the south of Xiaojishi Mountain is the Yellow River, which nourishes the Chinese civilization.
To the south of the Yellow River is the gathering place of the Qiang people such as the Great and Small Elm Valleys.
Yang Zheng advanced here, attacking, defending, advancing or retreating, and adapted.
Scouts keep bringing news from all over the world.
In March, the Hehuang Valley has ushered in spring.
But the wind was still howling in the mountains.
The mirage finally couldn't hold it back, and the 40,000-strong army left Yamaguchi Castle and headed northwest, as if it was really going to attack the West Sea.
However, two days later, it suddenly turned to the northeast and entered the siege of Linqiangcheng.
Along the way, there are no chickens and dogs, and no grass grows.
The newly built dock forts could not stop the Qiang army like a flood, and they were breached one after another.
The tuntian was completely trampled, and even the stones of the dock fort were smashed.
A few days ago, he kept saying that he was righteous, but in the blink of an eye, he came to poke his heart and cut off his children and grandchildren.
Yang Zheng scolded a few times.
The dock fort collapsed, the tuntian was destroyed, and it will be rebuilt in the future.
If Linqiang is broken, Yang Zheng really has no choice.
And the key to this battle is whether Zhang Te can hold Linqiang City.
"What are you waiting for, the subordinates are going to stone the mischief now!" Liu Heng was restless, and the mace was circling around.
Frightened, the surrounding soldiers dodged one after another.
This thing is equipped with his divine power, if there is divine help, it will hurt if you rub it, and you will die if you touch it.
New weapons are in hand, wood and stone are not enjoyable, this guy always wants to smash some people.
"What are you anxious about, isn't 40,000 Qiang people enough?"
When Liu Heng calmed down, his brain occasionally flashed brightly, but in most cases, this guy was in a state of excitement, and Yang Zheng always felt that he had some kind of illness.
"Manniu, when this battle is won, let the general marry you a ten-room concubine and cure your temperament." A familiar pro-soldier teased.
The surrounding soldiers laughed in unison.
Liu Heng's hands shook again and again, "The ten-room concubine still eats me poor?" ”
"There were more than a dozen Qinhu girls that day, and I didn't see you eating poor."
The laughter of the pro-soldiers was even more unscrupulous.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Heng was annoyed and ashamed, and went to chase after the soldiers with a mace.
Yang Zheng was really worried that he would smash his own people to death with a stick.
But this pro-soldier is not an idle person, he runs fast,
Liu Heng couldn't catch up, and the two chased back and forth in the camp.
The atmosphere was a lot more lively.
Yang Zheng saw that it was about the same, so he drank and ordered the two to stop.
It just so happened that at this time, a scout rode from the northwest and galloped forward, and before the horse slowed down, the man jumped down and ran up the mountain road, panting and saying: "Report, general, fourth, it was an hour ago, Zhong Qiang stormed Linqiang City. ”
Although he was anxious, Yang Zheng still held back, found a water bladder, and handed it to him, "No need to worry, speak slowly." ”
The scout gratefully took the water bladder and drank it all, "40,000 Zhongqiang united with 30,000 people from Yueshi Hu and Lu Shuihu to besiege Linqiang!" ”
"Isn't Lu Shuihu having a grudge against Midang?" Yang Zheng was surprised.
The scout arched his hand and said: "Lu Shuihu has six divisions, each of which is not unified, and they also attack each other. ”
As soon as he said this, Yang Zheng understood.
This group of people is more like mercenaries in later generations.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Yue's Hu, Qiangren, and Lu Shuihu jointly established Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, killing Han Huqiang Captain Ling Zheng, Jincheng Taishou Chen Yi, and Longyou were in chaos.
At that time, Xiping County had not yet been separated from Jincheng County.
This is the case in the northwest, when you smell blood, the wolves are coming.
"How is Linqiang City?"
Siege warfare is the most dangerous, not only testing the command level of the generals, but also the determination of the soldiers.
As soon as Zhang Te came out of the mountain, it was such a dangerous battle, and Yang Zheng also sweated in his heart.
"Zhang Sima mobilized the young and strong men in the city, came to the front in person, and boosted morale, and the young men and women in the city were inspired to help defend the city, and Qianghu suffered heavy casualties." Scout reports.
In these years, there was no cannon gunpowder, and the defenders had a huge advantage.
The Han general Geng Gong held the city for nine months, resisting tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops, and finally thirteen soldiers returned to Yumen.
There were 3,000 elites in the city, plus 500 soldiers from Zhou Fang, as well as Tuntian slaves and people in the city, no less than 10,000.
The people who survived in the Northwest in this era were more violent.
As long as the first wave of the offensive is held, the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the city will be built, and the next thing is to be consumed.
As the growth goes by, Qianghu's morale will become weaker and weaker.
Once it enters the consumption period, it is Yang Zheng's advantage.
There are many Qianghu soldiers, and the consumption is also large.
"Pass the order, let Jiang Faye lead Huang Zhongyi to attack and disturb the grain road behind Qianghu."
His soldiers galloped down the mountain and rode their horses north.
On the second day, there were scouts from the northwest, "report to the general, Qianghu attacked overnight, attacked the city wall three times, Zhang Sima and Zhou Duwei fought bloodily, drove the thieves out of the city, compared to Tianming, Qianghu lost 6,000 people, and Linqiang soldiers and civilians suffered more than 900 casualties. ”
Although the scout's words were simple, Yang Zheng could feel the difficulty of the big battle.
But at this moment, I can only believe in Zhang Te.
On the third day, while waiting, the scout was late, and there were still blood stains on his body, "Report to the general, Du Changshi sent five hundred light cavalry to attack behind enemy lines with Jiang Zhongyi, and Linqiang City fell into a confrontation. ”
Yang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Linqiang City is still there, and the advantage is tilted towards itself.
"What about the scouts of Guiyi City and Yamaguchi City? Why hasn't there been any news yet? ”
Linqiang City is evenly balanced, and if you break through either of these two places, Yang Zheng will have the winning momentum.
This is also the main reason why he is dormant in Xiaojishi Mountain.
Come and don't be rude, and you can't always be pressed and beaten by others.
The soldiers hurriedly went down to ask.
After a short time, a wounded scout was brought up, "General, Yamaguchi Castle is heavily defended, at least 5,000 people. ”
"The enemy has a large number of cavalry outside Guiyi City, and the scouts cannot report it." Defend the road.
"Take him down to heal." Yang Zheng glanced at the scouts and knew that they had done their best.
Mi Dang is a cautious person, Ye Wu has such a big advantage in the early stage, he will not move.
suffered a loss in the West Sea, so he will naturally protect his back road.
Yang Zheng was a little disappointed.
So far, it seems that no flaws in the enemy have been found.
However, what does it mean that there are a large number of cavalry in Guiyi City?
What do you need cavalry to defend the city?
Just when he was puzzled, several horsemen from the east rushed over, rusty and tattered iron armor, holding a spear, and at first glance it was Qin Hu, "General Yang, our department was attacked by Dangqiang, and the leader of Meng asked the general for help." ”
Yang Zheng was a little anxious.
The weakness of the small number of troops was exposed.
To save or not to save? It's a question worth pondering.
If it is rescued, he will be exposed.
If he doesn't save it, Qin Hu doesn't seem to be able to survive.
Burning Dangqiang is also a famous thorn in the northwest, and it has always been difficult to get along with the Central Plains, and it was also wide a few decades ago, and its strength is also strong.
And the cavalry of Guiyi City was like a knife hanging over Yang Zheng's head.
