Chapter 401: : What is there to be afraid of

Two years ago...that is, the eighth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the 30th year of the former Liang Jianxing, the eighth year of Zhao Jianwu, the five years of the founding of the country on behalf of the country, and the five years of the Han Dynasty.

Shihu built more than forty temples in Yecheng, and built two palaces in Luoyang and Chang'an. More than 400,000 people participated in the work. He also wanted to build a pavilion road from Yecheng to Xiangguo, order the four prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River to rectify the armaments of the Southern Expedition, and bring together the military resources of prefectures, Shuozhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. To prepare for the Eastern Campaign, two of the three males were dispatched, and three of the five were recruited.

At a time, there were more than 500,000 soldiers and 170,000 boatmen in the armies of all states and counties. One-third of them died of drowning and were swallowed by tigers and wolves. In addition, the princes and the shepherds competed for personal gain, and the people lost the family business they were engaged in, and they were distressed. Li Hong, a native of Beiqiu, responded to the grievances of the people. He claimed that his name was consistent with the prophecy. He gathered party members and appointed hundreds of officials. After the incident, he was killed, and thousands of people were convicted.

Two years later, Shi Hu again ordered a nationwide conscription. There were more than one million troops from all states. His original intention was to send his troops south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty bought Shijie Zhao Guotai Shi Ling Zhao Lan, so that he secretly said to Shihu: "The white geese staying in the courtyard is a sign that the palace is going to be empty and it is not suitable to go south."

Shi Hu believed in Zhao Lan, so Shi Hu came to Xuanwu Temple and held a grand military parade. Naturally, there was no shadow of going south. Among them, Yao Yizhong's part was to conquer Liu Yan from Qingzhou from Jizhou, and only then did the battle of Luoyin in Jinan County take place.

At that time, most of the so-called gathering of millions of soldiers were made up of Hu people, and the Jin people accounted for less than 20%. It was the Hu people who had learned the lesson of the Jin clan’s wanton arming of the Hu people against being overthrown, and controlled the number of Jin soldiers. Under normal circumstances, the number of Jin soldiers was only between 20 and 30% of that of the Hu people.

In November of the same year, Shihu built the Yellow River Crossing Bridge in Lingchangjin, mining stone as the bridge piers, but after the stones were dropped, they were washed away by water, and the bridge was not built. Shihu became angry, beheaded the craftsman, and stopped construction.

You are not mistaken, Shihu spent more than five million people to build a bridge, not more than 50,000 people, not more than 5,000 people, and not more than 500 people.

At the same time, Shi Hu also ordered the world to ask for beauties, and enlisted more than 30,000 female voters in three levels. The princes and princes privately issued orders to select nearly 10,000 beautiful women. Various counties tried their best to select beautiful women, often forcibly seizing the wives of the people, killing their husbands, and the number of suicides by the husbands reached more than 3,000.

After the forced beauties were sent to Yecheng, Shihu selected and ranked in front of the temple, because the envoy was capable, and there were twelve people who were sealed. As a result, people in various states and counties were killed and injured due to loss and rebellion. The local guards were unable to comfort them, and more than 50 people were put to jail and killed. When Dr. Jin Ziguanglu was serving Shi Hu, Shi Hu was furious and let the brave Long Teng Zhong Lang crush him to death.

There have been repeated military operations. All counties, counties, and states will have "indicators", that is, there will be one vehicle for every five soldiers to be recruited, two cattle, 15 rice, ten silk, and the unprepared beheaded, what about the civilians? It doesn't matter to support Shijie Zhao Guo, as long as the result is the result.

Hundreds of thousands at every turn, to a million, even more than five million was spent at the most exaggerated time. It is estimated that the Huren King would do such crazy things.

Maybe many people don’t understand why Shihu did this and didn’t make the country collapse, but in fact Shijie Zhao Kingdom has always been more like a multi-tribal alliance than a country. Shijie Zhao Kingdom is also on the verge of collapse all the time, just to hinder The Yu Jie clan's cruelty and strong force only continued to exist.

The Jie tribe in this tribal alliance is dominant, with the Qiang and Di tribes as the biggest accomplices, and a large number of errands.

Shijie Zhao’s miscellaneous hustle will inevitably be recruited in batches when there is a war, and they are also willing to participate in the war. That’s because participating in a war can looting unscrupulously. The tribe, after all, whether it is the Jie, Qiang, Di, the declining Huns and the rising Xianbei all came here in this way.

"So..." Yuan Qiao was already in Xiancheng, and he said with a full face: "Anyone who has the characteristics of a human will bring men, women, and children together, so we will encounter tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. It's really not surprising at all."

Xu Zheng knew from the beginning that Shijie Zhao was a strange country, but no one would be so crazy in a more normal country. He twitched the corners of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "There are hundreds of thousands at every turn, but you can really not even hit three of them."

As a vanguard, Si Hongzhuang advances troops very fast. When he assaulted within 30 miles of Puyang, he divided into 30 teams and went out to attack those enemies who were too late to gather because of the sudden attack. After the enemies were dispersed, they would follow up. Of reinforcements to deal with.

In just two hours, the Han army had achieved more than 3,000 combat results and captured nearly 20,000.

The captives naturally had to be sent back, and counted down, the old and weak women and children turned out to be the majority, and Yuan Qiao and Xu Zheng had a dialogue.

"Maybe it can be aided?" Yuan Qiao found that the effect of breaking up the vanguard into four attacks was very good. At the same time, Si Hongzhuang's intelligence transmitted to the back showed that the enemy was suddenly attacked and was in chaos: "A large number of enemy troops are coming to aid. There are small stocks."

"If the enemy can be deterred from the white horse, it is naturally feasible." Xu was looking at the map. He clicked on the white horse's position and said: "Suddenly, Sun Fudu was blocked by us in Juancheng. If the enemy loses its command, it will inevitably lead to chaos."

With the exception of Kaijuancheng and Linqiu, the number of Han troops who directly rushed in was actually not much, only close to 50,000. Their forward assault is actually a bit risky. It is ideal to be able to take down Puyang as a surprise attack. It is justified not to wipe out a large number of enemy forces that have not yet reacted, and to create a favorable situation for the ensuing engagement.

Just a little rest for less than two quarters of an hour, Xu Zheng left Yuan Qiao in Xiancheng, and he moved on with the following troops.

The war cannot be said to be a sudden outbreak. It can only be said that the "habit" that has lasted for more than a year has been changed. It is normal for the passive party to fail to react. After all, one party has a plan, and the other party is purely reactive.

It was almost evening when Shi Xuan received that a large number of Han soldiers were approaching the city in Puyang. Before, he sent Li Tu to meet the enemy first, and then successively sent reinforcements. The number of Shijie and Zhao troops rushed to the battlefield has exceeded 80,000. .

Liang Du met with Li Tu in Baima. He was actually relieved to see Li Tu's arrival. It was all because the situation was too chaotic, and the news from the front was too complicated to judge.

"So, there are traces of the Han army everywhere?" Li Tu looked calm. He looked at the crude map. His main focus was not on Puyang, but on the line east of Xiancheng: "There is no such thing as Sun Fudu. Pass the slightest news?"

Liang Du directly shook his head: "Not only has there been no news from the front, but Kuaiqi sent by the humble post to contact has not yet returned."

"The Han army is very agile!" Li Tu finally had a cautious expression: "It seems that the Han army is going out in full force. Only in this way can we be completely separated from Sun Fudu's subordinates, and we will be able to shorten the time. Eat Sun Fudu's part within time."

Liang Ducai doesn't care what Sun Fu is like, what he values ​​is what they do.

"Simple!" Li Tu raised his hand and nodded Puyang, and said in a solemn voice: "The old man leads the army forward personally.

No matter how Liang Du has any opinion, he can only express that he has no opinion, and that after Li Tu plays, he will definitely guard the white horse and consolidate Li Tu's back path.

If you count the number of people, Shijie Zhao's army has always been the dominant side. The Han army often fought against the Zhao army with a strength of less than 50,000 and more than 100,000, but the number of people was only the number.

The soldiers and horses led by Li Tu are very different from the previous Shijie and Zhao army. They are not a miscellaneous army made up from the place, nor are they look like the Qiang or Di ethnic group of families, old and young. The troops he brought are removed. Apart from the cavalry of the 30,000 Jie tribe, the rest are also young men of various races.

The Baima is more than sixty miles away from Puyang, and the entire terrain is flat. Li Tu is not worried about encountering an ambush. After all, in this terrain, the field of vision is wide, the enemy can see his side, and his side must be able to see the other side, even if the Han army It is because they want to dig pits on a large scale and there is not enough time for them. Fewer Tibetans can't help.

It is difficult to use any conspiracy in a battlefield where the terrain is equal. Some of them are that the two sides set up their positions to fight in an upright battle. Xu Zheng was reported by the scouts that at least 60,000 enemy troops had been pushed forward. He immediately knew that he should let his side. The troops that had scattered and attacked withdrew, and the next thing was the big corps.

"There are no people left here, let's retreat ten miles!" Xu was standing one mile south of Puyang City on horseback, watching the flag of Zhao Jun floating on the top of Puyang City: "Look at the enemy's entry into the city. Still chase it."

There should be more than 10,000 defenders in Puyang City. If the enemy troops in the direction of Yanjin do not come to help immediately, in fact, the Han army will not be sure to attack the city with a single blow, or half of the enemy troops will come. Still have to retreat.

When Li Tu led his army close to the Han army for 20 miles, he had already ordered to slow down. He wanted to see what choice the Han army commander would make. He learned that the Han army had retreated ten miles to the southeast of Pucheng and started camping. He deliberately spoke loudly. Left and right said: "It is often heard that the Han army is brave, aggressive and eager to fight. I never thought that there were times when they would withdraw first without fighting."

To give face to the left and right is naturally a burst of "haha" laughter, it is indispensable for someone to laugh at the Han army for not planting anything.

To boost morale, that's what a military commander should do. Even if they open their eyes and tell nonsense, the soldiers believe it. Li Tu and a group of generals Shi Jie are doing that kind of thing.

When the Han army retreated and set up camp, Li Tu didn't need to be too sympathetic to the foot strength of the horse and the physical strength of the soldiers. He ordered ten thousand cavalry to advance quickly, and the headquarters also accelerated.

Ten miles southeast of Puyang, Xu Zheng paid close attention to the enemy’s movements. He learned that there were about 10,000 enemy cavalry first. He asked his generals: "I would like to give this enemy a head-on attack. Who would lead the troops to fight? ?"

Zhong Xing immediately went out and said loudly: "I will go to the end!"

"Okay!" Xu Zheng drew one from the token basket of the case, and threw it to Zhong Xing: "A total of seven thousand tutu horses and three thousand archers are held, so you must let the enemy know that the Han army is powerful."

Therefore, it is said that the table characters cannot be taken randomly, and most of them are related to the name. Xing originally means from 舁 (yú) from the same, but the same force is used. This is how Zhong Xing's table and characters come from.

Zhong Xing caught Ling Jian and replied loudly, "No!", but the man stood still, and he had to listen to how far Xu Zheng was about to hit.

"If the enemy forces engage in battle, destroy the most enemy forces in the shortest time with the most ferocious posture." Xu Zheng tickled the corner of his mouth and said scornfully: "If the enemy's headquarters accelerates, do not hesitate to return immediately."

This time Zhong Xing once again agreed to "promise" and left very neatly.

Soon the Seven Thousand Turks and the Three Thousand Archers left the half-built camp and rushed towards the west to the sound of rumbling horses.

The 10,000 Han Army and the 10,000 Shijie Zhao Jun saw each other five miles southwest of Puyang. The Han Army did not change direction after finding Shijie Zhao Jun. They continued to advance at an unhurried speed. Jie Zhao Jun seemed to slow down a bit, but quickly accelerated again.

If you stand on the west side of Puyang city, you can clearly see that the two cavalrymen are pointing their spears at each other, and both are rushing forward aggressively. When they are close to each other about three miles away, the Han cavalrymen are the first to divide into two. , And then Shijie Zhao Jun also made corresponding actions.

"Assault cavalry follow me assault." Zhong Xing's voice can't actually spread far. What is needed is the flag and trumpeters who follow him to remind the whole army with flags and horns. The flag swings and the desolate horn sound. Toru, he shouted loudly: "The Han army is mighty!"

It is a pity that the assault cavalry is immersed in control of the horse forward, and it is not beautiful to not respond.

In contrast, Shi Jie Zhao Jun uttered a roar. Although he heard a mess and shouted everything, he looked a little loud.

The first battle was not the large cavalry hedging, but the archers of the Han army.

The Han archers are really only capable of shooting. They intended to turn around on the flanks, waiting for the assault cavalry and the enemy to shoot arrows on the flanks~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But before that, they either need to throw arrows. The enemy troops who pursued the enemy could only "fly a kite" and slowly grind to death.

Hu people are good at riding and shooting themselves, but they use horn bows. The horn bows have a short range and their power is actually not very good. The lead Hu Qi breathes, biting the rein in his mouth, and makes a bow to shoot. At that time, the Han archery had been the first to shoot arrows at a distance of a hundred steps from them.

The three thousand archers shot arrows at the same time and controlled the direction of the horse to change the direction slightly. The first wave of arrow rain did not fall, and when the direction of the horse changed, it was the second and third waves of arrow rain.

What the defenders of Puyang saw was that the Han army was rushing quickly and eagerly, and there was no gap between them. The cavalry that they wanted to ride and shoot simply rushed towards the position where the arrow rain fell. The screams of people and the wailing of war horses, one after another people turned their backs on their horses.
