Chapter 324: : Finally King vs. King

As the commander-in-chief of the army, what he hates most should be worrying. A little bit of incomprehension of the situation may ruin the whole army. Moreover, Yao Yizhong's inner doubts are not only a little bit. ???

"We were three-way at first, and we simply dispersed completely from the back. We almost searched the south bank to the edge of Jishui. If the Han army had ambushes, it could only be hidden underground."

"Well……"

Yao Yizhong seemed to be grasping the key just now, his thoughts floated for a moment, and he was in a daze for a while, unexpectedly... he couldn't remember what it was.

It was Jishui, that is, the place they were about to step into was the narrow Baili space between the Yellow River and Jishui.

The middle of the Yellow River and Jishui is really a narrow space. If the length is more than six hundred miles, the terrible thing is that the width is too narrow!

Can the Han army hide underground? It’s not impossible, but even if it’s hiding, the number that can be hidden is absolutely limited. What's the use of a small number.

In fact, there is another water system between the Yellow River and Jishui, that is, Luoshui, which runs from the Bohai Sea through Qingzhou to Jizhou and approaches Sizhou, which stretches for hundreds of miles.

The length of Luoshui and Jishui are the same, but the width of the river in Luoshui is much smaller, and there are more areas that can directly drive horses across the riverbed. Therefore, Liu Yan did not take Luoshui too seriously, and even Yao Yizhong did not associate Luoshui with the topography and was cut off from the waterway.

In fact, Yao Yizhong didn't think that the Yellow River would be cut off, but didn't he spend two or three months preparing for it and blocked the Yellow River with wood and other debris? According to his thoughts, the Han army had no ships in the Yellow River waterways. The ships of the Han army were basically mobilized from the sea, so as long as they blocked the Yellow River near the mouth of the sea, there would be no problem.

What? Did Yao Yizhong never think that Liu Yan would build ships on the Yellow River waterway? Yao Yizhong is a normal person. From the perspective of a normal person, who can build as many ships in less than half a year, even if Liu Yanzhen can build a limited number, then Shijie Zhaojun has nearly a thousand ships along the Yellow River. Is the ship still unbalanced?

It was confirmed that there were no Han ambushes on the south bank of the Yellow River to the edge of Jishui, and even the original three thousand Han troops retreated after Yao Yizhong increased their troops. A new wave of Qiang troops crossed the Yellow River again, the number was 70,000.

It was 50,000 at first, 30,000 in the middle, and 70,000 at the back. That means that there were 150,000 Qiang troops crossing the Yellow River. Liu Yan was determined to confirm this.

Yao Yizhong brought close to 400,000 people, but the number of people who can really be used for combat is definitely not that many. 50,000 Qiang troops have appeared in Dongping County, and another 150,000 have crossed the Yellow River. You can imagine staying in the Yellow River. What kind of stuff are on the North Shore.

On this day, Liu Yan, who moved the army to Licheng, took the people up to the observation tower and looked to the north of Jishui. From a distance, there was not much to see.

"Where are the troops mobilized from the Yuzhou battlefield?"

"Back to the Lord, the fastest has entered the boundary of Dongping County, and the slowest is in the boundary of Lu County."

What's strange is that the so-called fastest marching unit is the infantry returning east on the ship, but the cavalry was left behind in six directions.

There are not many water systems in the Central Plains. Of course, the largest watercourse is the Yellow River. There are many diversions around the Yellow River, most of which can carry boats. If you make good use of it, it is absolutely convenient to march.

It is not uncommon for the Chinese civilization to use the water system to march, especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The former Qi army arrived in South Korea directly by boat via the Yellow River, and even transported the heavyweight to Hangu Pass directly by boat. Outside. I don’t know what’s going on. In addition to Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty, he also used the Yellow River, so a general building was established. However, the subsequent Chinese Civilized Army seemed to forget that the Yellow River was also capable of navigating and transporting goods. .

Well, in fact, the Yellow River has been diverted again and again, and certain areas have become extremely dangerous after repeated diversions.

For now, the location of the Yellow River is also different from that of the later celestial dynasties. Not only is the entire river course different, but also the outlet to the sea. The most outrageous thing is that even the coastline is different.

There is a huge difference between the current coastline and the coastline after 1,700 years. The first is that a large area of ​​land is missing. That is also because the Yellow River did not "push" out a large amount of sediment. The Yellow River after more than 1100 years The estuary has moved more than a hundred miles to the sea than it is now!

Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction: "The first batch of troops, 20,000 infantry will return first, then...", he looked at Ji Chang.

"We have set up the necessary bridges before and need to be able to connect them at any time." Ji Chang said of Jishui, and he added: "In fact, we should invest in troops in the near future."

Seeing that Yao Yizhong is a cautious and suspicious person, the Han army has given enough doubts. If the Qiang army had 150,000 crossing the river, but the Han army still did not make any major moves here, it is difficult to guarantee that Yao Yizhong will not have it. Among other things, it included withdrawing to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Yan is not a fearful person, he knows what he should do.

As the Qiang army's follow-up troops crossed the river again, Liu Yan moved again, the Han army crossed Jishui, and the 30,000 Han army, including Liu Yan, drove directly into Luoyin.

Luoyin is a place with history. Hou Huo Qubing, the champion of Emperor Xiaowu in the Western Han Dynasty, forced him to surrender the King Hunxie, who was later named the Houyin Hou by Liu Che. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei placed the northeastern part of Qihe under the jurisdiction of Luoyin County. Until the Western Jin Dynasty, it was still under the jurisdiction of Jinan County. Now Luoyin has been abolished.

In fact, the abolition of Luoyin is only a microcosm of the Central Plains under Shijie's rule. After all, the Hu people want to turn the Central Plains into a pasture. The abandoned cities are unknown, and even some famous big cities have become ghost-like ruins. If history does not change, this situation will continue in the future, and it will be relatively improved during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it will be considered to be restored in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Liu Yan led his army to Luoyin, which was a heart booster for Yao Yizhong. Yao Yizhong was actually anxious about the fact that the Han army did not appear after crossing the Yellow River in large numbers, and he became more and more suspicious as time passed. state.

"How much?" Yao Yizhong suddenly widened his eyes: "Only thirty thousand?"

How many Qiang people crossed the Yellow River? The combat power has reached more than 300,000 without counting. It is a settlement situation with dozens of miles of prescription. If you include the necessary grazing, etc., it can spread out to nearly a hundred miles.

The fact is that Yao Yizhong did not encounter the Han army after crossing the Yellow River, and he had a great sense of hesitation about crossing Jishui under suspicion. He had given birth to the thought of returning to the north bank of the Yellow River more than once. Just when he was about to make up his mind, the order from Xiangguo had just arrived, and Liu Yan had personally led the Han army to Luoyin on the back.

The Han army led by Liu Yan is indeed only 30,000, of which only nearly 10,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry. In addition, the number of Han warships has appeared above Jishui, and the number seems to be considerable?

Since Liu Yan led the army here, and the ships of the Han army appeared on Jishui, Yao Yizhong should know that the prelude to the war had officially started.

What surprised Yao Yizhong was that although Liu Yan had mobilized a large number of ships into Jishui, but only had 36,000 foot cavalry, he had to ask: "Is there a Han army that has followed?"

No one can answer Yao Yizhong. He will get the news from Sun Fudu three days later that Sun Fudu’s existing Han fleet is passing through the Jishui River section of Dongping County. The scale is still incomparable. huge.

At this time when Sun Fudu’s intelligence was sent, Yao Yizhong had brought his army to the northwest of Luoyin and set up camp. The cavalry on both sides had even fought several games, and even the Qiang army had tried to attack the Han barracks. It's just that the Qiang army didn't get any advantage in the battle, whether it was a cavalry battle or an attack on the camp.

The battalions established by the two armies faced off at a distance of about ten miles, and the space left in the middle was of course the battlefield. If you look at it from a high altitude, you can see that the Qiang army, which has an absolute superiority in strength, has a camp that is more than twenty times larger than that of the Han army. When Yao Yizhong set up the Qiang army camp, he also considered more, presenting a Yanyue layout ~ www.wuxiamtl.com~ almost half-encircling the seemingly small Han barracks.

The two sides camped separately, and their fighting hasn't stopped since the moment they faced each other, such as now.

Liu Yan likes to climb high and look into the distance. Everywhere he goes, he will build a sufficiently high observation deck in the Chinese military area. He is now at a high place with his men to watch the Qiang army attack again.

There is no uniform uniform on the Qiang people's side. The dense crowd looks colorful. Most of them are wearing sheepskin jackets. According to Sangyu, it is hard for a Hu to wear thick sheepskin jackets on such a hot day.

The sheepskin jacket has always been used as a layer of armor by the Huren, and it can indeed play a certain degree of anti-arrow effect, even if the temperature is about 30 degrees, it can endure with great endurance.

At this time, Sang Yu was looking at the offensive troops with a single-scope, and would comment on the previous sentence from time to time. For example, he is now saying: "It is still the largest number of miscellaneous Hus and Jins."

In just six days, Yao Yizhong would send troops to attack every day, and would also harass every night, making it clear that he was bullying the few soldiers of the Han army.

The presence of a telescope can give you a panoramic view of what is happening in front of you, and if you have enough fun, you can even catch the shot arrows and follow them.

Outside the walled city, the enemy is attacking. In the front of the walled city are the necessary melee troops, behind are the echelon crossbowmen, and further behind are the weapons such as crossbows, bed crossbows, and stone throwing carts. force.

If we observe the past, and take the range of various weapons as the boundary, there will be layers of corpses with different levels of freshness outside...

……split line……
