The news of the fierce battles in Luoyang could not be spread in time.

Victory, unable to boost morale in other battlefields.

Defeated, the enemy gives you a lot of hype.

That's the messaging problem.

Fortunately, Shao Xun closed the Luonan Three Passes in time, so that the main force of the thieves was confined to the Luoyang Basin. Occasionally, those who infiltrated to the south of Sanguan were immediately chased and intercepted by the soldiers and subordinates on horseback, and were finally eliminated one by one.

The Huns later also knew that if they couldn't break through these three passes, no matter how many small troops were sent to infiltrate the south, it would be useless to just send heads to the Jin army.

However, they are not interested in going south now, and there are already many battlefields in the Luoyang Basin, so they have no intention of caring about anything else.

In the area of Shaanxi County and Kipshi, Wang Mi's troops withdrew quickly, as if they were very reluctant to fight fiercely with Shao Xun's troops, even if the combat effectiveness of the loyal army on the opposite side was very suspicious, and it was not as good as Shao's army.

Liu Jing still stayed in this area, and had nothing to do at first, but recently encountered a little trouble: Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang who was guarding the pass, was persuaded by the military counselor to sacrifice wine Wei Fu, and sent the generals Chun Yuding and Zhao Ran to lead an army of 20,000 to the east, as if he wanted to go out of Tongguan to attack Liu Jing, and it seemed that he wanted to cross the river from Pubanjin and attack the territory of Hedong.

No matter which direction he goes, it is enough to make Liu Jing nervous.

To some extent, they were more afraid of the Jin army in Guanzhong, because they often used money to lure Zhuhu and gather a large force of cavalry, which was more difficult to entangle than the infantry of the Luoyang Forbidden Army.

Pei Chun, the Taishou of Xingyang, sent Li Ju to lead his army westward to attack the dock fort of Zhao Gu and others, vowing to eliminate these traitors.

Because Shile did not go south, Wang Shiwen, the governor of Xuchang, and Wang Kan, the general of the chariot and cavalry, led an army of 15,000 to cross the Yellow River north and enter the boundary of Jijun under the strict orders of the envoy who broke through the siege at the risk of death in Luoyang.

Shanjian, the governor of Jingzhou, heard that Luoyang was besieged, and ordered the counties to select brave warriors to send to Xiangyang, intending to gather 5,000 elite soldiers and go north to rescue Luojing.

Pei Dun, the assassin of Xuzhou, reorganized 10,000 soldiers and horses to the west, intending to join the Beijing Division, but he didn't go far away, because the money and food were not enough, and Pei Dun was severely punished in the local area, which was unpopular, and the army was noisy and dispersed, and Pei Dun had no choice but to return to Xuzhou.

Yangzhou was sent away with 20,000 men last year (Battle of Changping), but the governor Zhou Fu had always been loyal and loyal to the Son of Heaven, and even if he was at odds with Sima Yue, he still sent 5,000 people to the north, which had already set off.

Sima Yue's confidant, Chen Liutaishou Wang Zhen, gathered 3,000 troops and entered the territory of Xingyang, intending to cross the Chenggao Pass and enter the Luoyang Basin.

All in all, after the Huns suddenly killed and Luoyang was besieged, all the prefectures and counties in the world immediately sent reinforcements within their capabilities, intending to Qin Wang - they really didn't necessarily want to help Sima Yue, in fact, Sima Yue didn't have such a big appeal, these people helped the court and the Son of Heaven.

This is actually a "will test".

At least in October of the third year of Yongjia, the Great Jin Dynasty barely passed the will test, and the people's hearts are still there!

Shao Xun was in Jiuqu, and he received a little news one after another.

To be honest, he was a little surprised. It's a hell of a zombie-like court that can still summon so many Qinwang armies from all directions!

As a result, his ambition was curtailed a little, and he became "loyal......

The first drum beat sounded in the Land of Nine Songs.

The auxiliaries sprang into action immediately.

The unfed draft animals should be fed quickly, the unpacked utensils should be packed up quickly, and the unprepared dry food should be quickly taken out and put in a convenient location, and there will be a pile of miscellaneous things......

The second drum sounded.

All the draft animals were harnessed, the vehicles began to move, and the auxiliaries began to be divided into the various camps, where the officers were assembled and ready to go.

The soldiers began to inspect their equipment.

For a while, the sound of the knife drawn into the sheath was endless.

The spare bowstrings were tied to the quivers, and each man counted the arrows in the pot, and those with less than thirty were at once called for help.

The war horse was also led out and walked a few steps, which was considered a warm-up.

The third drum sounded.

The soldiers began to put on each other's armor in pairs and check each other's equipment.

The well-wound step bow hangs on the left side of the waist, the ring-headed knife hangs on the right side of the waist, and the spear is in the hand, no problem.

Several wagons beside the marching columns were loaded with axes, hooked sickles, wooden stalks, lances, and spare equipment.

The officers began to determine which regiment was on which side van, who would rotate with them, and who would support the two brigades......

Everything is in order.

To this day, the Silver Spear Army is a bit elite, although Shao Xun always feels that they are not good, the level is still too poor, and they have to practice again......

******

When the first side van slowly descended and appeared in sight, the Huns suddenly became agitated.

In the past two days, they divided the 4,000 cavalry into three parts, took turns to harass them, and gained almost nothing except the price of more than 100 dead and wounded.

I'm tired enough!

Hearing that the grain and grass in the army were less than half a month's needs, and Luoyang could not be defeated, everyone was very anxious and didn't know what the meaning of staying here was.

For example, the infantry army in front of him, all of them may add up to more than 10,000 people, but they are very sophisticated.

Yes, just sophisticated.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, skills, discipline, and equipment are very important, but in the eyes of these Hun cavalrymen, the sophistication of these soldiers in front of them is the most annoying, they know when to do something, they know who to do what to do, and the more confident they are, the more they are not afraid of their harassment.

Even in the midst of the hosts, they eat when they should eat, sleep when they should sleep, and even if the robes on the periphery are bloody and the sound of killing is shocking, they can still sit on the ground peacefully, eat food and water to restore their strength, and even hide behind big shields and military food bags and sleep in their clothes.

This army should not be in the army for a short time, at least four or five years, and it has experienced a lot of battles, and they are all killed, and they will not collapse easily.

The day before yesterday, Hu Yanhao, the general of the conquest, ordered them to turn to the west, and harassed this army in turn, so that they could not eat well, sleep well, consume a lot of energy, and lose a lot of physical strength, and then he personally led the main force to come and besiege and kill them in one fell swoop.

Standard steppe pack wolf hunting tactics.

It is to follow and harass all the way, go up and bite a few bites from time to time, let the hunter flow blood, panic and mess up, exhaust his physical strength, and finally collapse and be eaten by the wolves.

But after "practicing" with them for a day and a night, it seems that there is no effect.

A total of 4,000 riders, divided into three parts, only more than 1,000 riders rushed up to harass at a time, and no one looked at you with their eyes.

They also have cavalry who are good at hand-to-hand combat, and they recuperate when they don't have a chance, and they suddenly kill when they have the opportunity, causing the Han cavalry to bleed constantly.

Mother!

The chariots, the horses and the horses, the long dragon-like cart all the way forward, unstoppable.

Shao Xun was wearing the golden armor given by the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, holding the imperial bow of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, majestic and majestic, looking forward to his own pride.

No tactic is perfect.

The chariot formation can only deal with pure cavalry troops, and if it is a large army with mixed infantry and cavalry, it will be a bit troublesome.

For example, what if people are ambushed on both sides of the road and hit you with catapults?

Liu Yu thought about this problem.

His solution was to hang curtains on the carts on both sides to cushion falling rocks.

The formation of vehicles is mobile, as long as you carry this section of the road safely, after all, catapults can hardly move. Moreover, the range of the catapult is very touching, and the accuracy is even more touching, and it will not take long to fall apart.

So this tactic is basically useless, besides, the Huns can't use this tactic now, where is their infantry?

Fire attack is even more useless than throwing stones, because fire prevention is easier.

The real trouble is that the opponent has infantry who are good at fighting, regardless of casualties, taking turns to attack, so that you can't rest and eventually collapse.

To put it bluntly, even if you are surrounded by superior forces and consumed to death, the final casualties are not necessarily smaller than Ling, in fact, it is just a gamble - it's not worth it at all, Gain can use the car formation to maneuver long distances, it must be well-trained elite infantry, and annihilating them can greatly damage the morale of the opponent.

At present, Liu Han's army does not have the ability to annihilate this army composed of a mixture of the Silver Spear Army, the Government Army, and the Xiao Cavalry Army, even if they only have more than 6,000 soldiers.

On the night of the 30th, the car camp stayed at the foot of Shou'an Mountain.

On the night of the first day of November, we camped at Ganshuikou.

The so-called sweet water mouth is the place where the sweet water enters Luoshui.

Ganshui originates in Lutei Mountain in the south, and there is a city on the mountain, but it has been abandoned - Lu Ji's "Luoyang Ji": "Twenty-five miles southwest of Henan County, Ganshui flows out of Yan and flows into Luo in the north. There is Gancheng on the mountain, that is, Gangong Caiyi. ”

In fact, it is the ancient city of Gan in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Du Pre once commented on the left biography: "Gan Zhaogong, the prince takes also, and the food is in Gan." ”

It is worth mentioning that this city was still used until the Later Han Dynasty, and it was a solid city made of stone slabs - I don't know if the stones on the city wall are the "cultural relics" of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Before falling asleep, Shao Xun also made a special "memorandum" that if there is a chance in the future, he must renovate Gancheng and rebuild it into a military base.

Ganshui flows through the side of Gancheng, there is no shortage of water in the city, there is still a small amount of arable land on the mountain, and there is more wasteland in the plain below the mountain, which is a natural dock fort.

As for saying that occupying this city means penetrating the power into Henan County, this is not a matter.

Early in the morning of the second day of the new year, he set off for camp and continued to the northeast.

The distance between Ganshuikou and Luoyang is only about forty miles, and in the case of cavalry feeding, even if it is slow, it will only be two or three days away.

No matter how stupid the Huns are, they will do their best to intercept them.

But strangely, they didn't increase their troops, what happened in the past two days?

Shao Xun ignored him, continued to advance, in the evening of the same day, advanced to the west bank of the Jianshui camp, looking at the opposite Han Henan Ancient City - the Eastern Han Dynasty Henan County Administration, built on the basis of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Wangcheng, located in the Wangcheng Park of Luoyang City today, at this time (the end of the Jin Dynasty) has been abandoned, Henan County Zhi moved into Luoyang City.

At this time, the Huns finally reacted.

4,000 horsemen remained on the west bank to harass them, and more than 10,000 horsemen came on the east bank of the stream, eyeing them fiercely.

The night was not peaceful.

Outside the makeshift camp, which consisted of vans, wagons, and wooden fences, the sound of horses' hooves never stopped.

From time to time, the Huns approached to shoot arrows, or beat gongs and drums, thinking that they were attacking.

And in the vast night, the brigade of infantry took advantage of the night to quietly hide, and after crossing the stream to the west, they camped on the spot.

Farther away, there were thousands of foot soldiers who could ride horses selected by Wang Mi, who hurried overnight and came to the stream.

Shao Xun got up in the middle of the night and climbed the high platform to overlook the wilderness.

The camp was set up in the west of the stream, and there were Hun cavalry on the east bank, and behind the camp on the west bank, there were Huns who followed all the way.

There are tigers in front and wolves in the back.

Is this trying to stop yourself from crossing the river, or is it ruthless and wants to gather and annihilate it?

He didn't know.

He only knew that the grain and grass carried by the army could last for 27 days, and nearly 200 wounded and dead horses were harvested along the way.

The food and grass of the Huns did not know if it could last for seven days.

Come, I will cross the river to-morrow, and who will stop me?
