Chapter 432: Dingting

The Han army on the outpost wall had already trembled at this time.

Many of them are local tyrants in the neighborhood, holding swords to show off their might, how have they ever seen such a terrifying scene.

The thieves below were densely packed with more ants than there were on the ground. How does this work? Isn't it sent to death?

At this moment, they were full of resentment towards Liu Zhen who had arranged them here.

But there are still many disciples and clansmen of Zhongshan Siliu on the dock wall, but they gritted their teeth and kept pushing down the city-defending equipment such as rolling logs.

As for the flow of arrows, it is scarce, after all, most of the Liu clan's tribes are farmers, how many of them can put bows.

This level of resistance is naturally not in the eyes of the three generals of Hanoi.

Especially Han Hao, the head of the three generals, was proud of his martial arts in the first battle of Handan, and then he shook all the way, and now he is the town general of Hanoi Town, which can be said to be deeply used.

Of course, Han Hao's sequence still belongs to the field corps, and this time it was only transferred here to command the local garrison troops. But even so, the experience of having 3,000 generals is rare for any general.

Since he is a general, he can no longer be like a martial artist. Therefore, Han Hao tried his best to control his excitement, and did not attack with the armor first, he was learning to observe the battlefield like the generals in the army.

And this observation really gave him a different experience.

It's a sober detachment, as if looking at the battlefield from a more objective perspective. This feeling is completely different from when he was a fighter.

Han Hao understood, different positions of the station determine different visions, and different fields of vision determine different ideas.

Seeing the sparse arrows on this dock wall, Han Hao had a thought at that time:

"The enemy army is very weak, and there are no archers."

So, Han Hao ordered the warrior Han Biao to take fifty armored soldiers as a trap and take the lead in the rain of arrows.

Han Biao is Han Hao's clan, and as Han Hao gains a firm foothold in the Taishan Army, Han Biao and other Han clansmen naturally rise.

You can say that this is nepotism, but in this era, employing people is the basis of meritocracy. I don't know about you, how can I tell if you're capable?

Therefore, whether it is a military general or a clerical official, the recommended talents are recommended among friends.

Han Biao is like this, although he is the Taishan Army that entered by Han Hao's relationship, his courage is not bad.

After winning the military order, Han Biao only glanced at it, and then found a weak defense battlement and rushed with his head covered. The same is true of the fifty armored soldiers in the back, who followed Han Biao and stepped forward bravely.

Seeing Han Biao like this, Han Hao thought about it, and once again had a layer of understanding of the way of the general.

Han Biao's main attack point was a corner pavilion slightly to the east, on which a few Han soldiers wielding Changge were waving wildly.

These paddling Han soldiers didn't see Han Biao because of their perspective. Then he was killed by Han Biao.

As soon as Han Biao took the armor soldiers to the wall, he asked the soldiers to plant the flag.

The Hanoi town soldiers who attacked the barrier on all sides cheered when they saw that their flags had been flying on the dock wall. For a time, there were warriors who climbed the dock wall.

Yang Mao, who was at the back of the formation, was also shocked when he saw that the battle in front of him was so smooth, and then sighed:

"I didn't think that this town garrison also had the courage to go first."

The battle ended after about half an hour, and the Han outpost wall was captured.

After leaving a battalion of soldiers here, Yang Mao ordered the whole army to move forward and launched a general attack on the enemy army in Dingting.

This time, it was the town of Wei County, which had three battalions and 3,000 soldiers.

The town general Wei Chong gave an impassioned speech in front of the three thousand brothers, which directly encouraged the blood of these Wei county soldiers to boil and be excited.

Without any more movements, Wei Chong personally led his subordinates to the Dingting in front.

At this time, the pavilion was a little distorted under the scorching sun, and even a little silent. But the dense antlers and moats hinted at a tragedy.

The town guards of Weijun Town lined up in a fan-shaped face according to the training method. The battalion commanders will lead the way in person, followed by soldiers carrying flags.

They strode forward in a vertical procession, their heavy armor burning hot, and the officers sweating profusely and panting under their helmets.

In order to boost morale, when the Wei County town troops marched, the war drums in the rear did not stop.

The toughest battle is about to begin.

……

The battle for the town of Wei County was dealt a heavy blow from the opposite side from the very beginning.

Because the trenches were too complicated, the town of Weijun, which originally had three battalions, was divided into more than ten pieces. However, the Han army could rely on the trenches to constantly move and support each other.

And the heavy armor of Wei County Town has also become a drag here. They often slip and fall in the pit before they have even encountered the enemy, and then they never get up again.

This kind of trench warfare, not to mention the local soldiers in Weijun Town, even the five major battalions of the Taishan Army have never encountered it. This is Liu Zhen's extraction of past experience in dredging water conservancy and the formation of a new tactic.

Liu Zhen deployed about 3,000 people here, which was actually roughly the same as the strength of Wei County. But because of the maneuver of the tunnel, the generals of Wei County Town on the front line were stunned and felt that there were seven or eight thousand people on the other side.

As a result, the war became more and more tormented, and the town general Wei Chong had no choice but to ask for reinforcements from the rear.

When Wei Chong's request for help was sent to Yang Mao, it greatly deepened his judgment of the original information.

Before the war, Yang Mao judged that there should be about 20,000 people here in terms of the number of enemy flags.

But then breaking through the enemy's outpost wall made Yang Mao doubt this judgment.

With such a strong force, how can they only put so many people in the outpost? And then during the torture of the prisoners, it was learned that the Han army on the opposite side was only three or four thousand.

So Yang Mao was a little annoyed by being fooled.

But just when he overturned his previous judgment, Wei Chong came to ask for help again?

Isn't there only about 3,000 people on the other side, why did Wei Chong say that there were seven or eight thousand people?

At this time, Yang Mao fell into great doubts.

He didn't know if what the prisoner said was true or if it was the ploy of the Han general on the other side.

At this time, the Tianxiong Army, which was in charge of Li Fu's original left flank, sent the latest battle report, saying that the cavalry of the Han army had been found in the woods to the west.

At this time, Yang Mao began to study the terrain to the north.

The first is the large forest to the west, which is so lush that thousands of people can hide if you want to hide soldiers. And now the military report sent by Li Fu proves that it is the cavalry of the Han army lurking in this wood. The forest is only about a mile away from the Dingting position.

In this position, the cavalry was at short notice.

If the Han cavalry launched an attack, it would be very dangerous for the Wei county garrisons who were already entangled in the battlefield.

And Yang Mao not only discovered this, he also saw a wheat field behind the Dingting. These wheat crops grow very happily, and it is entirely possible that they will become an ambush for the Han army.

At this time, Yang Mao's cold sweat broke out.

An ominous premonition gripped him, and he made one of the most wrong decisions of the battle:

"Mingjin, order Wei Junzhen to withdraw its troops."

Although the staff in the army were surprised by Yang Mao's decision, no one came up to dissuade them, after all, judging from the situation on the front line, the soldiers of Wei County were really not able to fight, and they needed to withdraw and rest first.

As a result, Wei Chong, who had already been on the front line to fight, did not see the expected reinforcements, but heard the Mingjin in the rear.

Now he was a little angry.

It's too embarrassing, Hanoi Town fought so well just now, and it was our turn to be withdrawn when it was the turn of our Wei County Town Soldiers, which was really a shame for Wang Ji's children.

That's right, the children of Wei Jun called themselves as the children of Wang Ji.

In fact, Yang Mao's decision cannot be miscalculated, but he received the wrong information in the end.

At this moment, he gave up continuing the attack on Dingting, and instead waited for the arrival of Cai Qu's central protection army as mentioned by the king.

To put it bluntly, Yang Mao is very unconfident in the combat power under his command.

After learning that the opposite side might be the main force of the Zhenbei Army, he didn't have enough confidence to fight. So I want to wait for Cai Qu's elite soldiers to arrive.

But in fact, at this moment, Dingting is already at the end of the crossbow.

Liu Zhen never expected that the Taishan thief on the opposite side would be so brave. They far surpassed his subordinates in terms of armor and fighting skills.

Even the cohesion that Liu Zhen relied on to be proud of was only equal to the Taishan army on the other side.

Actually, Liu Zhen is not clear.

The townsmen he faced were actually very potential.

These town soldiers selected from the field guards are often from the same place in the grassroots army. These people ate, lived and trained together, and then they were assigned to garrison points together.

The teamwork between them is no worse than Liu Qian's work and labor.

Therefore, Liu Zhen actually fought very hard.

And the back hand he originally arranged in that forest, the five hundred river soldiers are now very limited. Because in the middle of this, a large cavalry regiment of the enemy army was gathered there.

Moreover, it can be inferred from the continuous mobilization of squads into the forest from the opposite side that the Hejian cavalry has also been exposed.

What worries him even more is that this is only a part of the enemy army, and the main force on the opposite side has not yet been on it. And the reinforcements promised by Lu Zhi have not yet arrived.

How can this not make Liu Zhen despair.

He thought of what he had persuaded the clan elders before.

"If you are in a swing today, my Liu family has encountered the same predicament as in the last years of Xinmang. Why can my Zhongshan Liu family be rich and prosperous? Isn't it because my surname is Liu? If I don't save this Han family, who else will save this Han family? And if the Han family dies, we will wait for the Zhongshan Liu family to be the remnants of the previous dynasty, and I can't get it if I want to have a night of peace at that time! ”

It was he who took advantage of the righteousness of the national disaster and the death of the family that brought Zhongshan Siliu together.

But now it seems that I, Zhongshan Liu, am really going to die in this Dingting.

At this time, Liu Zhen couldn't help but think of a sentence from an uncle:

"If my Zhongshan Liu clan dies, what does this Han family have to do with the revival of the Han family?"

But who would have thought that Mingjin on the other side had withdrawn his troops?

Liu Zhen couldn't care about ecstasy, and ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and continue to strengthen the trenches.

At this time, Liu Zhen had time to count the casualties of the troops, and in just a while, there were already more than 800 people. It made his heart weigh harder.

But no matter what the future holds, it's a moment to live one more time now.

……

But waiting for Liu Zhen's demise has never come.

On the contrary, around the end of the Shen period, he waited for reinforcements.

A messenger rushed into the position to report to him, and the four divisions of Han Heng, Gao Zheng, Lu Chong, and Xue Shen of the Zhenbei Army under the order of the Dai Di Legion, led thousands of reinforcements and were already only two miles away, so he must insist on the arrival of reinforcements.

Just look at the dust raised from the north, and Liu Zhen knew that the soldiers were not lying.

Reinforcements are really coming.

This news quickly spread to every Liu tribe of the Dingting Front, and the joy of near-death and survival greatly boosted the morale of the tribes.

On the other side, Yang Mao actually knew better than Liu Zhen that the enemy reinforcements were coming from the north.

His sentinels had already sent this bad news from the north.

By this time, he still didn't understand that the Han army in Dingting on the opposite side might really only be a few thousand.

At this moment, Yang Mao did not dare to delay any longer, and ordered Wei County Town and Hanoi Town, which had already rested, to attack Dingting together. Then he ordered Zhaojun Town and Dongjun Town to bypass Dingting and block the reinforcements from the north.

It is important to take the position before enemy reinforcements arrive.

……

Han Heng, Gao Zheng, Lu Chong, and Xue Shen are all powerful warriors in the north.

In fact, when they met in Guangyang Road, they all received Lu Zhi's military order to go south to rescue Dingting.

But the common identity of these four generals can't help but make these insecure heroes think more.

Why did they go south to rescue the northerners?

Is it to consume them?

In fact, they were very distrustful of Lu Zhi, and felt that this person seemed to be a great Confucian, but his methods and actions were even more fierce than those of them who were frontier warriors.

Normal people can't think of a poisonous plan to mess with the grassland with iron tools and give them the Han people in the border areas a trick to draw their salaries.

So with this heavy distrust, the four soldiers walked very slowly.

But no matter how slow it is, there will always be a day when this road will arrive.

On the 6th of August, at the end of the Deuteronomy period.

The Ma Bu army of nearly 5,000 people from the four divisions of Daibei finally arrived less than two miles away from Dingting.

Here, they can all smell the bloody breath coming from the direction of Dingting, and from the dust, they can also know what kind of tragedy the Dingting battlefield is like at this time.

At this moment, the four generals Han Heng, Gao Zheng, Lu Chong, and Xue Shen hesitated.

It happened that the villagers in the neighborhood sent a cart of clear water to the labor army.

So the four generals took the opportunity to order the officials to drink water and rest, and they surrounded the villager to ask about the situation of the pavilion at this time.

This villager is a villager in a nearby dock wall, and there are dozens of servants in his family.

Originally, he was ready to retire for the rest of his life, but his son, who had previously served in the county, never returned after he went south with the prime minister of Zhongshan.

Everyone said that his son was dead, and that his skull had been cut off by the Tarzan thieves in the south.

The boss of this township fell ill, and then hated Tarzan thieves to the bone.

But he knew that he couldn't get revenge on his own, so he did what he could. He had also joined the army in his early years, and knew that the march of a large army must be tired and thirsty.

So when the apprentice who was farming outside came to tell him that a Han army had come from the north. So he took all the men and women of the dock wall to carry water to the army.

If nothing else, just to allow these Han soldiers to kill a few more dog thieves.

At this time, seeing the four Han generals surrounding him and asking about the situation in Dingting, the old man didn't know that these four people were afraid.

How can this be done, if you don't coax you to kill the thief, who will avenge my son's revenge?

So, the villager had an idea.

Family, the monthly pass is coming. There is a real battle tonight, to see how Xiao Chen hammers the opposite side.
