Chapter 60: The Great War is Imminent
Dongye County, Huiji County, Yangzhou.
After careful confirmation of the placement in Huiji County in the early years, Ban Yong learned that the soldiers he sent on duty actually captured Yu Ze.
This is a big fish, the current head of the Yu family, the head of the four major families of Huiji, can also be said to be the leader of the scholar clan of Huiji County.
It seems that his caution is completely correct.
After capturing Yu Ze, he will naturally be able to do a lot of articles, and Ban Yong is ready to wait for Nie Zhen to come and hand it over to him to deal with.
Even the old Ban Yong had to admit that Nie Zhen's kid still had some ways to use these tricks against the Shi clan.
So he didn't go to see Yu Ze at all, but just kept him under close guard.
Now that Yu Ze has been caught, the scholars of Huiji can be said to have gone over, but now those rampant Yue people in Dongye City need to be rectified.
It's time to go on your own!
has been idle in Yizhou for many years, and Ban Yong has not been lying flat and deserted.
He still often goes to the barracks to stay with these monkey cubs to train, sweat, and study all kinds of military books and war examples, for today!
After Ban Yong led three thousand elite infantry soldiers of Longwei Mansion to secretly rush to the northern border of Dongye, he immediately sent scouts to patrol everywhere, trying to block the news of the fall of Dongye and capture the county soldiers and others who escaped by chance.
He was like a yellow finch hiding on the side, secretly observing the actions of the Yue people.
Now that the Yue people have occupied Dongye, they think that they are the yellow finch that successfully ate the praying mantis of the Huiji County soldiers, and they are frantically celebrating and enjoying the fruits of victory.
Ban Yong chose to set off at this time, he left a thousand people to continue to hide and block the main roads, and quietly drove towards Dongye City with the remaining 2,000 foot soldiers.
One of the most important aspects of this battle is to block the news so that the Huiji clan does not know about their existence.
As for the number of tens of thousands of Yue people, Ban Yong said that the rabble is not to be feared.
Among them is the confidence in the weapons and armor under his command and the overall combat power, and there is also the understanding of the barbarians' lack of military discipline in the process of plundering.
"See General Ban, how did you personally lead the army here?"
Ban Yong and the others traveled more than ten miles, and the scouts found that the envoy sent by Nie Zhen to contact the Yue people was looking for them to the north.
After the messenger identified himself, he was brought to Ban Yong, and when he saw that Ban Yong personally led the troops, he knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Who are you?"
"Humble Zhong Yi, the word is sheng, ten years ago left the house to enter the Han land, now is the long history of Nie Zhen Nie brother, this time he was ordered to persuade the Yue King Pan Long to raise troops......"
After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he took out his identity certificate again and showed it to Ban Yong for inspection.
"Hmm, you came just in time, how is the situation in Dongye City now?"
Although Ban Yong is confident that he will defeat the Yue people, he also understands that it is better to have someone who understands the inside story of the Yue people.
"As Brother Nie expected, after entering the city, Yue Renguo left his previous agreement behind......
After the Yue people entered Dongye, they saw the Han dwellings in the city and the goods in them, so they instantly left the military Ji and the agreement with Zhong Yi, and immediately began a crazy ransack of the whole city.
Although Zhong Yi had expected it, he also followed the procedure and met with the king of Yueren on the morning of the second day, angrily denounced the atrocities of his men in the big tent, and refused the other party's explanation, and resolutely left Dongye and came here.
"In this case, you are the guide of our army, and you ordered the whole army to rush to Dongye to save the people from the poisonous hands of the Yue people!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the territory of Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions.
At this time, the sun has begun to take over the weather in the Western Regions, and it hangs in the air early to watch the war of some ants under your feet.
Dong Zhuo's Western Regions Protector Coalition Army and Dawan's Coalition Army are finally about to fight a decisive battle.
In order to escape the hot weather at noon, the two coalition forces had already lined up as soon as dawn.
The battlefield was in the small plain under Guishan City, and the two sides opened their positions, each forming a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry to prepare for battle.
Despite the disparity in strength, both sides of the war were determined to win.
The Dawan coalition army has 20,000 infantry troops and 16,000 cavalry troops, while the total number of Dong Zhuo's coalition troops is only nearly 10,000 cavalry, and the two sides are more than ten miles apart from each other.
King Dawan came to the battlefield in person, and the allies Kushan and Wusun people did their best to help them fight against the Duhufu, and his own protagonist naturally had to make a show and come to the front of the battle to boost morale.
Of course, the reason why the Kushan and Wusun people worked so hard was not only because they had an alliance with them and were worried about their lips and teeth, but also because they had spent a great price......
King Dawan promised that after successfully repelling the Han people, he would give Guishan and Wusun 5,000 warlike horses and 500 sweaty horses respectively, which is a lot of blood!
Fortunately, this war will soon be over, and after defeating the Han people, Dawan will no longer have to hand over the war horses to them, which can be regarded as recovering huge losses.
In the past, Dawan had to pay tribute to the Han people every year tens of thousands of war horses of various grades, for which almost half of the people of Dawan were engaged in horse breeding to meet this heavy burden......
Although the battle did not go well in the early stage, fortunately, the number of Han allied troops was not very large, and the Kushan and Wusun people were finally persuaded to send a large army to the rescue.
The current situation, in the eyes of King Dawan, is already in the hands of victory, his own coalition army is nearly four times that of the Han coalition army, even if their combat strength is high, it is impossible to turn the tables.
————
On the other side of the battlefield, Dong Zhuo rode on a high-headed horse and watched the enemy.
Except for some noise coming from the Qiang cavalry on both sides, the surrounding Flying Bear Army and Tongsi Army stood on the ground silently, as if they didn't exist!
That's how the elite behave, they don't cringe at the numerical superiority of their enemies, and they can even feel a hint of excitement in their cold armor.
In order to let the soldiers free of their hands and feet when fighting, Liu Ai and a few men and horses in charge of the baggage had already retreated last night.
His strategy for this decisive battle is very simple, mainly around the super combat power of the Silk Army.
If you use too many strategies, not to mention the risks, even if you win the battle, you may not be able to finish the battle, Liu Ai hopes that through this battle, the Hu people will realize that the Han people are still strong and invincible.
The west wind gradually rose, Dong Zhuo seemed to sense something, so he slowly retreated with the Qiang cavalry and the Flying Bear army......
Immediately, the yellow sand began to fly and circle, the visibility gradually decreased, and Dong Zhuojun gradually disappeared.
————
As a result, the Dawan coalition forces on the opposite side were dumbfounded.
King Dawan and the generals of the coalition army were even more shocked and speechless, it was very strange that half of Dong Zhuo's coalition army abandoned the horse column infantry formation, and now the cavalry has retreated, what does this mean?
"What kind of ploy is this?"
King Dawan asked, he had the impression that there were too many Han intrigues.
"His Royal Highness the King, what is left behind is the army of the Tongsi Kingdom, and it seems that the Han people in the capital have retreated, maybe they have a conflict."
The Guishan general on the side thought that he knew the army of Tongsi Country very well, and immediately said.
"Contradictions? At this time? ”
King Dawan apparently didn't believe it.
"This doesn't matter, we can leave the corresponding number of cavalry on guard against the retreating Han cavalry, as long as we defeat the Tongsi army in front of us with all our might, we will win."
The Guishan people hated the Tongsi country to the core, and now that they had a good opportunity, they naturally didn't want to let it go, and the Guishan generals hurriedly spoke out to persuade them.
King Dawan thought for a while before reluctantly agreeing, although this situation was a little weird, but there was no reason to give up this great opportunity.
Immediately, the Dawan coalition army sent a lot of scouts, and then the main force was dispatched, the Guishan cavalry outflanked to the left, the Wusun cavalry outflanked to the right, and the Dawan infantry pressed on the front!
