On the first day of November, Shao Xun returned to Nanyang, where he rested for the night to deal with a large number of official duties related to the resettlement of the Tuntian army and the displaced people.

On the second day of the new year, we continued to travel north, and returned to Xiangcheng through Duyang and Yexian.

At this time, Wang Mi, Zhao Gu and others had led the army into the Luoshui River Valley to attack Yiyang County.

There were only 500 loyal soldiers in the county, and more than 3,000 Ding Zhuang were requisitioned from the people who took refuge in the city, desperately defending the palace.

Fierce fighting lasted two days.

Wang Mi and Zhao Gu almost consumed the old and weak women and children they captured, and even sent their troops and horses to attack for half a day.

Yiyang was crumbling, but it never fell.

Wang Mi and Zhao Gu saw that they were about to hurt their own capital, and they didn't want to fight, so they broke the siege. Anyway, Yiyang has no ability to attack, so he can't make a threat.

Hongnong Taishou Yuanyan heard that the Xiongnu had entered the Luoshui River Valley, worried that he would be attacked by the enemy, so he led nearly 5,000 loyal soldiers to abandon the camp of Huixiban, retreat to Kinmen Mountain, and hold on to the grain and grass of Jinmenwu with his back.

During the retreat, General Shan Zheng of Han Zhengxi took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely and beheaded more than 1,000 ranks. Then he led 15,000 horsemen to camp on the bank of Luoshui outside the Golden Gate Dock, and he was not sure whether to storm this dock fort.

Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi, took more than 10,000 horsemen, skipped Yiyang, and went straight to Jinmenwu to look at the terrain.

"Shao thief is really good at picking places." Liu Cang looked at the dock fort located on the mountainside and gasped.

This kind of fortress cannot be used to spread its strength, and it is even more difficult to fight than the county town located on flat ground.

Moreover, after years of continuous reinforcement, not only the place has become larger, the thickness and height of the wall have been enhanced, and there is a sheep and horse wall behind the trench, which is really not easy to gnaw.

Shan Zheng, Wang Mi, and Zhao Gu looked like earth.

The place chosen by Kinmenwu was very clever, and it was impossible to send up to 300 people at a time, and it was impossible to effectively give full play to their superiority in strength.

From a military point of view, this type of dock fort was suitable for siege. Circle for a year and a half to see how long you can hold on.

But is it possible to look at the problem from a military point of view now? Apparently not.

Liu Cang's gaze lingered on the three of them for a while.

The monograph is not very nervous.

His daughter is the widow of the first emperor, and he is the general of Zhenxi and the chief of the Di tribe. As long as the imperial court still wanted to retain its influence in the Qiang tribes of Feng Yi and Shangjun, it was impossible to force them to die.

Wang Mi was a little nervous.

It was not easy for him to raise some troops, and there were only more than 30,000 people so far. This expedition only brought 10,000 people, but I didn't want to consume my own strength too much. But his dependence on Liu Han's court is relatively strong, and he has a life at his top, so he doesn't have much confidence to refuse.

At this point, Shi Le is much tougher than him, although Dahu has pretended to be very good and obedient so far, but Wang Feibao has already seen through him.

He secretly glanced at Zhao Gu and found that this guy was more nervous than himself, and secretly laughed.

The difference in status is evident at the critical moment.

Sure enough, after Liu Cang pondered for a while, he ordered: "In this battle, Zhao Anbei will take the lead, focusing on attacking the Yuanyan camp outside the dock fort. ”

The loyal army withdrew three or four thousand people, and they could not all be stuffed into the Kinmen Dock, let alone all of them should hide in the dock fort.

The Art of War: "Those who defend will not enter Guo Yu, and they will not retreat from the pavilion barrier, and those who are not good will also fight in the imperial war." ”

To defend the city, it is necessary to have a camp outside the city, and the city is a horn of each other.

In this way, the enemy army will not be able to let go of its hands and feet when attacking the city, and it will not be able to spread its strength, and it is easy to be flanked when attacking, and the siege equipment will be more easily damaged.

Yuan Yan was bold enough, and he didn't enter the dock fort, but used himself as a bait to set up a village outside the dock fort in a place where the terrain was dangerous and easy to attack, and the intention was very obvious: he had no way to retreat, so he fought to the death here.

"The king......" Zhao Gu had a bitter face, as if he wanted to plead.

"Don't bargain with Lone." Liu Cang's face fell and he reprimanded.

"No." Zhao Gu didn't dare to resist and responded.

Xu saw that he was more acquainted, and Liu Cang ordered Shan Zheng and Wang Mi to transfer archers to strengthen the Zhao department.

He also transferred some people from the cavalry of his headquarters to support Zhao Gu with cavalry bows or foot bows.

With the help of so many archers, it should be able to greatly offset the geographical advantage of the enemy's army, or have a chance of success.

After the order was issued, Shan Zheng, Wang Mi, and Zhao Gu each selected their sergeants and prepared to attack.

Liu Cang led his cavalry to camp in the Luoshui River Valley, cutting hay and crushing to reduce the consumption of food as much as possible, while drawing maps everywhere and trying to find mountain trails to enter Guangchengze.

His father was obsessed with Yuanyan, but he didn't.

In his opinion, the biggest obstacle to the capture of Luoyang was Chen Hou Shaoxun of the Jin State. Because his troops dared to continue their advance surrounded by cavalry and took the initiative to attack.

This large group of veterans is skilled, experienced, and resolute in battle, as long as they are annihilated, Shao Xun will not be able to save the same army in a few years.

And if it can't be eliminated in a formation, even if it has many battle losses, Shao Xun can slowly restore his combat effectiveness by recruiting new recruits to fill the gap - under the old and the new, the growth rate of soldiers is very fast.

It must be eliminated as a formation, so that the last army of the Jin State that is good at field warfare will disappear. In this way, Luoyang and even Yanzhou and Yuzhou will be given what they want.

Yuan Yan is a fart, it doesn't matter at all.

The drum beat "Knock ......" sounded, and Liu Cang came back to his senses and quietly watched the siege battle that was about to begin.

In this battle, the number of dead is unknown.

******

The eagle soars high in the sky and looks down on the earth.

At the Mengjin and Xiaopingjin (Pingyinjin) ferries, five or six miles downstream, four pontoon bridges span the north and south, and people like ants go back and forth, constantly carrying things and things.

Continue flying eastward.

Gongxian North Wushe crossing, also erected a pontoon bridge.

In the first year of Jianwu (25), Zhu Kun sent Jia Qiang, the envoy of the festival, and Su Mao, the general of the martyrdom, to send 30,000 people from Wushe Jindu to attack Wen.

There are also a lot of people and horses and vehicles on this pontoon bridge, and after hard transfer, they are transported to the area of Tiger Prison Pass.

The Yellow River meanders to the northeast, to the north of Suozao County, 20 miles, and there are two pontoon bridges that have just been erected.

One end of the pontoon bridge is in Ji County, and the other end is in the sour date.

There is also a place that is conducive to crossing the river here, which was called Jianjin in ancient times, and was also known as sour Zaojin.

The brigade crossed the river and entered the territory of Yanzhou.

One occupied Suojube and Dongyan, and built pontoon bridges on both sides of Wenshijin to guard the Sima Yue group in the east.

One to the west, Liankeyuan Wu, Juan County, on the fourth day of the first day of November into the city of Boxingyang.

There is also one led by Shi Chao, bypassing Xingyang, all the way to the west, arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass on the night of the fifth day of the first month, and camping and stationing.

That night, Shi Chao selected the elite and launched a night attack.

The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded in the Tiger Prison Pass.

Pei Chun, who had just slept with wine, was suddenly woken up. At first, I thought it was a bombing camp, but after putting on my armor and taking a sword, I went to quell the chaos in a rage.

When he walked to the eastern half of the city, he was about to scold, but he heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the city.

"This ......" Pei Chun was shocked.

Is this a thief coming from the east?

Why didn't anyone report it?

Are all the messengers dead?

When he was in shock, he saw a group of routs rushing down from the city, and when he saw Pei Chun standing there with a sword in his helmet, he was stunned for a moment, and ran up in a hurry.

The screams of the city grew more intense.

Pei Chun reacted at this time, and suddenly his back was soaked, and he subconsciously wanted to run.

At this moment, shouts of killing also sounded in the west. It turned out that Shi Le sent some people to dismount, and drove some of the captured Ding Zhuang to attack the city.

Looking at the fire light reflecting half of the sky on the east and west sides, Pei Chun understood everything, the thieves were using fire to contact, and the east and west were attacking, trying to overcome the tiger prison.

"Quick! Fast! Bring my horse. Pei Chun said in a low voice.

The servants were dumbfounded.

Fu Jun couldn't stop thinking about running away with all his thoughts.

"Fujun, the mountain road is narrow, how many soldiers can the thieves send?" The servant persuaded: "It seems to be a great momentum right now, but it may not be able to break the gate. ”

"You know!" Pei Chun slapped him and scolded: "Military affairs are something that you, a lowly person, can put your beak in?" Quickly prepare the horses, I will go to Chen County to report to Lu Envoy. Prepare a few more horses, it's really not good, I'll go to Jianye. Shao Xun is ruthless, he will definitely not let me go. ”

After saying that, he said to another servant, "Pack up a little soft, so that you can buy food on the way." ”

The man nodded stupidly and left.

"Huh? Why are you still stunned here? Seeing that the first servant didn't leave, Pei Chun kicked him angrily.

The servant stumbled and said, "The house...... Fujun, there are thieves on the east and west sides, how can you run? Do you want to break through the enemy and break out? ”

Pei Chun was stupid.

yes, how to run? Do you wear armor and hold the blade to break through the enemy's layers of interception? With this ability, I'm still running a fart.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he almost cried.

I'm going to die! Woohoo, I'm going to die!

The servants wept with him.

Not long after the two of them felt sorry for themselves, the first servant had already brought someone to pull the cart over.

The car was full of silk and satin, gold, silver and jade, which were worth a lot of money when they looked at it.

Pei Chunqi doesn't fight in one place, don't you know what "soft" is? How do you run with a cart of goods?

But—when his eyes fell on the car, he froze again.

These are all things he fished out when Xingyang was too punctual. Especially those gold, silver and jade, I can't put it down, I often play with it, if I throw it away, it's a pity.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from ahead, mixed with the sound of nails and leaves colliding.

Pei Chun looked fixedly, but it was Zheng Zun who got up at night.

Zheng Zun also saw Pei Chun, and even saw the cart of goods, and was immediately overjoyed: "The servant is still worried that the soldiers will not use their lives, but I didn't expect that the prince has already taken it into account, is this a reward for recruiting warriors?" ”

"Yes...... It's me who wants to ......" Pei Chun was halfway through his words, when he saw the servant gently tugging at his sleeve.

"Fujun, now that the enemy is on both sides, you can't run away, it's better to scatter this cart of gold silk to the warriors, so that they can fight hard and repel the thief army, so that they can save their lives." The servant whispered.

In the end, fate is still important, Pei Chun was entangled for a moment, then his face changed, and he said angrily: "That's right, the thief army is fierce and aggressive. Now he is preparing to scatter his wealth and recruit strong men. This matter will be handled by Zheng Langjun on my behalf, and I must choose an elite brave man. Money, not a problem! ”

Zheng Zun was solemn and respected, and said: "The prince of the palace is noble, I know it." ”

After that, he immediately summoned the soldiers and his own troops who were on standby in the streets, and promised a generous reward to let them go up to the city to defend it.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

Zheng Zun quickly recruited 300 people and divided them into two parts, one with 200 people to go to the East City, and the other with 100 people to go to the West City.

These 300 men are the vanguard of the most ferocious enemy.

Behind them, they were each followed by hundreds of songs, clamoring up.

After the new force joined, the fighting at the head of the city became more and more intense, wave after wave.

Pei Chun waited tremblingly under the city.

It wasn't until after midnight that the killing noise gradually subsided.

When the first rays of sunlight rose in the east, the killing noise finally stopped completely.

Unconsciously, Pei Chun stood in the city for most of the night.

The armor had long been taken off, and he held his sword, watching the bloody warriors walk down from the city, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I want to laugh, but I have mixed feelings and can't laugh at all.

It turns out that defending a city is so thrilling, so how dangerous is the field battle?

Pei Chun has a new understanding of the war, and he also has a new understanding of Shao Xun.
