Chapter 255: Han Qi: I think these 20,000 people are gone
At the same time as Puqian Yonggu and Liu Ke sent troops, Han Qi in Shunan also began to act.
The 20,000 troops led by Han Qi in southern Shu have been stationed in Jincheng County north of Jiaozhou since the Northern Expedition.
Although Jincheng County is not a strong city, it also has a city wall.
Moreover, Han Qi has been strengthening it since he entered the city, and it is already considered stable, and it is more than enough to defend the city.
Han Qi was in the big tent of the barracks, looking at the map, a little distracted.
He suddenly walked out of the big tent, and somehow twitched halfway, foaming at the mouth.
Fortunately, no one saw it, and soon got up on its own.
He walked all the way to the city wall, which was brightly lit.
The soldiers who patrol the night shuttle between the city, and their figures are a little blurry between the lights.
Han Qi didn't bother much, staring into the distance and narrowing his eyes.
"Thirty thousand people were transferred."
20,000 to 50,000, such a gap in strength, and facing the elite soldiers of Shi Zhouhao's army, among which there are even elite cavalry that are difficult to match.
Even generals of the rank of Hou Junyan and Di Han can only barely hold on.
And after the Donghu people transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses, it became 20,000 and 20,000, which was much easier.
Anyone on the defensive has to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Han Qi obviously did not sigh for such a reason.
He waited for nearly a year before an opportunity came.
As a result, 50,000 became 20,000, wouldn't it be 30,000 less for nothing?
"General Han, what should we do next?"
Dian Chu scratched his head and walked up.
He originally thought that Han Qi felt that he was fighting against the beating, and he was superior in force, so he was seconded to Shunan, so that he could better resist the army of Shi Zhou's Haobu.
Unexpectedly, except for attacking and defending each other in a local area for a while, it was ten days and half a month, and they couldn't fight.
This made Dian Chu not very happy.
He is a rare macho man in the world, and in addition to fighting and killing, he is planting radishes in his mind.
Although Han Qi asked him to take the people of Jiaozhou and some neighboring Shunan natives, that is, the Wa people, to plant radishes together, he was quite happy.
But if you don't take a few people and wave it twice, you always feel unhappy.
You can only pick a few lucky soldiers at random and pick them up to relieve your boredom.
If you don't fight again, a bird will fade out of your mouth!
Even if Dian Chu was in such a hurry, Han Qi didn't answer immediately.
He was still staring into the distance, as if he could see the remaining 20,000 troops of Shi Zhou's Hao Division.
Han Qi suddenly turned his head and looked at Dian Chu.
There are countless dogs with blades in his hands, and the giant man of the iron tower with a height of one zhang is a little stunned for a while.
At this time, Han Qi's eyes were as if he had seen a dead person, and the Donghu camp with 20,000 soldiers outside the city seemed to be full of corpses, and it was twilight.
"General!"
A soft shout suddenly came from behind the two.
When Han Qi saw the comer, he frowned and said:
"It's a critical time, why are you here!"
"I heard that the Donghu people have withdrawn 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the general should make some moves, and the last general will come over to help."
Sun Yuandun saw Han Qi and raised the sword in his hand.
Han Qi still frowned.
This Sun Yuandun is a general he promoted in Jiaozhou, a one-eyed general, who has a certain ability to command the army, but not much.
However, the tallest of the short ones, it is already good to be able to find a makeshift general in Jiaozhou.
And in addition to unifying the army to fight, what is even more surprising is that Sun Yuandun's farming ability is actually quite good, which is quite surprising.
In the middle of last year, when a small-scale locust plague was encountered, it was Sun Yuandun who cut off the water to resist the locust swarm, and he personally led the soldiers to persuade the farmers to reduce the losses.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the locust plague in Hanzhong had occurred under Sun Yuandun, even if there was no early warning, he would have been able to make the most correct management.
"Hmm."
Han Qi thought about it, come on, it's time to launch a general attack.
In fact, there are two available people in the army, one is the straight-minded Dianchu, and the other is Sun Yuandun.
It's not that Han Qi can't borrow more generals from Qiongzhou, and even if he can't, some captains and partial generals with higher qualifications in the army are also very good.
It's just that Han Qi knows that his prestige is insufficient, and it is the emperor's strength to override public opinion that he was able to lead an army alone, and there must be many people who are not convinced.
He has the confidence to tame any veteran, but he's too lazy to spend that time.
A big victory has everything, so why bother with this kind of thing.
It is enough to have a rectum like Dian Chu, a general who can execute his orders without a brain, and a one-eyed general Sun Yuandun who is easily promoted.
"Tomorrow at sunrise, we will fight and capture the Donghu camp."
Both generals were on their sides, and Han Qi immediately ordered.
"Yes."
Compared with Liu Ke's side, Banihan, Chong Xuan and others were trembling and thinking twice, while Han Qi's side was much simpler.
Although Han Qi's military order was a bit abstract, he originally defended the city and didn't have any, so he actually took the initiative to fight the Donghu camp.
You must know that even if Shi Zhouhao's troops withdrew 30,000 soldiers and horses, the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses would still be very effective.
Han Qi only has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is indeed more than enough to defend the city.
But if you want to attack the Donghu camp, even during the day, when the sun is just coming out, it is outrageous to attack generously.
But whether it is Dian Chu or Sun Yuandun, they are people who have little ability to think for themselves.
Moreover, since Han Qi entered Jiaozhou, he has shown a good ability to unify the army, which is convincing.
Even if it is not as good as Yue Shaoqian, it will not be too bad, at least at the same level as Di Han.
Although there are occasional convulsions, when you foam at the mouth, it is difficult to understand.
But more time, what it shows is still enough to convince the soldiers.
Therefore, the next day, Han Qi led a large army and attacked the Donghu camp outside Jincheng County.
And Kui Bao, the general of the Shi Zhou Hao Division, who commanded 20,000 Donghu soldiers and horses, was more cautious than Pu Qianguang and Nie Qiang.
Directly lay the army out of the camp, and then prepare to meet the enemy.
After all, it was a field battle, he was not afraid, and he really did not make some progress in Shunan, he couldn't be too light on the enemy, the Han army came generously, of course he had to deal with it wholeheartedly.
"General, that's kui leopard!"
Sun Yuandun pointed to a big man riding a tall horse led by the outside of the camp and said.
"Leopard ......"
Han Qi looked at Kui Leopard, and saw that Kui Leopard was more than nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, braided hair, hideous eyebrows, and a mace in his hand.
This leopard was one of the eighteen horsemen of Shi Zhou's Ale, and his bravery was abnormal.
After Shi Zhou Hao's usurpation of power, he was still reused.
It can be seen that it has a brush whether it is the ability to fight or the ability to stand in line.
The mace in Kui Leopard's hand was densely covered with steel nails, and the cold light was shining.
If it hits a person, I am afraid that if I don't die, I will shed my skin.
Among the Donghu people, those who do not use sabers are quite good in force.
Kui Leopard urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, and shouted:
"Han Qi, are you here to give the general merits! 20,000 heads, I'm afraid that I am going to make an immortal achievement! ”
He was also very surprised, and he didn't understand what Han Qi was playing.
In the field battle in broad daylight, or 20,000 to 20,000, can he lose?
And behind him is the big battalion, which has a certain geographical advantage, even if he can't win, there will be no problem in turning to the big camp.
"Leopard!"
Han Qi suddenly shouted:
"You are a Donghu person, stealing the homeland of the Han land, harassing the Wa people, interfering in the internal affairs of Siam, and committing heinous crimes, which are too numerous to mention!"
Kui Leopard stared at Han Qi in front of the formation and shouted:
"The land occupied by the Donghu people, of course, is the land of the Donghu people, and they have long been driven to Qiongzhou, giving up the Han court of the people of the Central Plains, where does the face come from to say what the homeland of the Han land!"
"Get out of here and die!"
Hearing Kui Bao's words, Han Qi's brows suddenly furrowed.
This leopard actually has another rhetoric, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth.
Han Qi responded lightly:
"Kui Leopard, I know that you are Shi Zhouhao's old department, Shi Zhouhao's Ahu is not in the right position, and you must be oppressed by it, so you have to surrender."
"When the son is in Jingzhou today, and there are a lot of surrenders, Ben will give you a chance, immediately abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and Ben will be able to protect your Majesty for you."
"Hahaha!"
Kui Bao laughed when he heard this, and was not moved at all:
"Needless to say, you have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I also have 20,000 soldiers and horses, do you want to attack the camp or the field?"
Hearing this, Han Qi sneered:
"It's just a rabble, what's there to fear?"
"Wait for Ben to prepare, and then break your camp!"
Hearing this, Kui Bao responded:
"Okay, I'll wait! Brothers, put me in array! ”
With Kui Bao's order, the Donghu soldiers outside the camp set up their formations, shouting loudly one by one, and bursting out with bursts of howls like jackals, tigers and leopards.
"Roaring ......"
"Hello ......"
Not to mention attacking the camp, even if it is to break the defense outside the camp, you Han Qi can't do it!
Sun Yuandun saw that the momentum of the Donghu soldiers outside the camp was like a rainbow, and he was worried for no reason:
"General, this ...... Do you really want to fight the leopard? ”
"They are like a rainbow, their combat power is good, and they rush to battle, but they are afraid that they will ......"
Han Qi waved his hand and pointed to the Donghu army outside the camp and said:
"It's just a rabble, and I can destroy it!"
"Although those Donghu soldiers are extremely burly and have good combat power, you can see their formation and the blades in their hands!"
Sun Yuandun was stunned, looked at it carefully, and said:
"Although these Donghu soldiers are all covered with armor, they have not arranged their armor."
"Although there are sword and shield soldiers, archers, and spearmen, the distribution is reasonable, but the arrangement of the formation is chaotic!"
"Even the simplest formation is full of loopholes!"
Han Qi nodded and said:
"Yes, in general, to meet the enemy's formation, swords and shields should be arranged at the front, and spearmen, spearmen, and other long weapons should be set up behind the formation."
"In the center of the formation, archers should be arranged, the wings should be arranged with flexible cavalry, and the rear should also be arranged with a troop of soldiers and horses to support at any time."
"This is the easiest way to dispatch troops in a field battle."
Han Qi paused and continued:
"But look at it again, what does the formation of the leopard soldiers and horses look like?"
Sun Yuandun looked at it, and knew that this leopard looked fierce, but in fact, his ability to command the army was much worse.
In the face of rookies, he can easily crush him with his personal bravery and the elite of Donghu's soldiers and horses, but he seems to be slightly inferior to Han Qi and the Han army who are serious about the eight classics.
"Not bad!"
Han Qi said proudly:
"Kui Bao doesn't know the art of war, he only knows how to put the most brave soldiers at the front, in order to win with one blow."
"Take the first to take the first, and it is natural to attack the city."
"But field warfare, defensiveness, such a way of pouring out, will inevitably suffer a big loss!"
"Even if he has a hundred heads, it's not enough to cut off!"
Han Qi talked eloquently, and Dian Chu was a little admired.
He knew that Han Qi was originally a madman, but he didn't expect to have such a subtle and profound analysis.
I like to be learned.
After listening to Han Qi's analysis, Sun Yuandun lowered his fear of Kui Bao and the 20,000 Donghu soldiers a few points, and asked:
"And how does the general plan to deal with Kui Leopard?"
"Wait!"
Han Qi was still indifferent.
Sun Yuandun was puzzled:
"Wait? What are you waiting for? ”
Han Qi smiled:
"Reinforcements!"
Sun Yuandun was puzzled:
"General, where do we get reinforcements?"
"Yes, there are 50,000 reinforcements, enough to swallow this army of soldiers and horses."
Han Qi seemed to be talking about a short little thing in the family, and he understated it.
Sun Yuandun was directly stunned, he heard that the war in Jingbei had fallen into anxiety, and the emperor had entered Yuzhou alone, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Where can there be reinforcements to support this place where there are few figures?
20,000 soldiers and horses are enough to defend one side!
Han Qi was unmoved.
No one in the army can shake his authority.
He said yes, no need to move.
And this time, he is really fighting hard.
It is necessary to defeat this 20,000-strong Donghu army head-on.
No, it's not a breakdown, it's a total annihilation.
It's just that although the idea is good, it is difficult to put it into practice.
Kui Leopard is in the camp, waiting for work, and it is elite, occupying a favorable location, and it is not so easy to deal with.
Even if he can defeat Kui Leopard, he will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself.
Then you need to wait for the right time.
Wait for a reinforcement to arrive.
Twenty thousand is not good to fight twenty thousand.
What if 40,000 fights 20,000?
What if 70,000 beats 20,000?
The advantage is mine!
Han Qi said to Sun Yuandun and Dian Chu:
"The two of you each led a thousand men, but when you heard the shouts of killing, you led the army to kill and rushed straight to the left and right wings!"
"Yes!"
Soon, half an hour passed.
At the beginning, the Donghu soldiers outside the camp shouted loudly one by one.
But Han Qi took the initiative to attack, but he was stunned and did not move for a long time, and these Donghu soldiers had little patience.
And the sun is gradually rising in the east.
January in Shunan is different from January in Runan, there is no snow at all.
As the sun rises, it's still a little hot.
Then another hour passed.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the armor of many Donghu soldiers was covered with sweat, and when the wind blew, it looked extremely uncomfortable.
Kui Bao was impatient to wait, wiped the sweat from his eyes, came to the front of the battle again, looked at Han Qi and shouted:
"Han Qi, what the hell are you doing, you can't fight anymore!"
When Han Qi heard this, he beckoned unhurriedly and summoned a big-headed soldier:
"Can you move troops?"
This big-headed soldier is confused, who am I, how do I know if I can move the army?
But if the general wanted to ask, he couldn't refuse to answer, so he had to tell what he saw and thought truthfully:
"General, the soldiers are in full swing."
Han Qi nodded matter-of-factly, asked the big-headed soldiers to retreat, and shouted loudly at the leopards who were deployed outside the camp:
"The soldiers are a little tired, it will take a while before they can fight, you wait a little longer!"
