Sweep the World

The two cavalry fought fiercely, and a small group of Han troops arrived around Puyang one after another. They were Si Hongzhuang’s vanguard troops. They were ordered to come here to see if the Puyang defenders went out of the city for support. Then decide whether to rush to seize the city gate.

Correspondingly, the Shijie Zhao army also had troops arriving one after another. When the Han army gathered close to 20,000 people in Puyang, the Shijie Zhao army and the Puyang garrison totaled more than 40,000. The two sides were in the vast plains. When night fell, the Han army voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.

When Li Tu came to Puyang, he went up to the top of the city and looked to the southeast. The Han army camp ten miles away was already quite large. Too many bonfires and torches reflected the clouds in the sky.

"The enemy is making rice in a pot?" Li Tu could smell the fragrance in the air. In addition to the fragrance of rice, it was the fragrance of meat. It was very strong: "Is there meat for a meal?"

The current foundation of Han is in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is close to the sea. From the beginning, Liu Yan wanted to add seafood to his meals. He seized a large number of cows, horses, and sheep over the years and sent people to graze.

Another point is the unique output of Han, and that is sea salt. Salt is divided into fine and coarse types, and it has never stopped selling to the outside world. Even if Shijie, Zhao and Han are at war, private trade has actually never stopped, but the quota has dropped a lot because of the impact of the war.

Viewed from the city head of Puyang, the situation at the Han army camp is actually rather vague. The outline of the camp, some moving black spots in the fire, and dense smoke rising into the sky.

Shijie Zhao Jun actually started a gang, slaughtering cattle and sheep, and all kinds of coarse grains were thrown into the pot. The same main ingredients and different cooking methods and condiments resulted in different aromas.

"How is the other party?" Li Tu was definitely not asking about food. He said, "Is the morale of our army seriously affected?"

During the fierce battle during the day, the 10,000 Shijie Zhao army cavalry as the forerunner suffered more serious damage. The number of people killed on the spot during the battle was more than 3,000. The number of people who were seriously injured should be 2,000. Almost everyone with minor injuries, and missing persons. There are also more than three hundred.

When the Han army was retreating, they tried their best to take away the remains of the dead. Li Tu's number of Han army dead was only more than 300.

"The number of enemy troops killed in battle will not exceed a thousand..." Qi Ai looked miserable, with blood-staining cloth on his forehead, and wound cloth on his chest. He was Shijie Zhao’s classic school. General. He lowered his head and said, "The enemy army that specializes in cavalry and shooting...the threat is great, and our soldiers may not dare to pursue it anymore in the future."

The archers of the Han army use bows, and the farthest range can reach 150 steps, and the lethality can be guaranteed within 70 steps.

The longest range of the horn bow used by the Huren is about a hundred steps. Arrows fired over 30 steps will become soft and fluttering. Shooting a person without armor will kill them. Having armor is basically the same as itching.

During the day when the two armies fought, the three thousand Han archers kept a distance and carried out shooting. First, they dragged down the Zhao army of the same number of stone blocks that were chasing him, and then cooperated with the assault cavalry to fight a charge, which was the large-scale one. The hedging caused the most casualties, and the rest of the time was actually not very intense.

Qi Ai is actually a kind of grass name. The Jie tribe is originally a slave race. It is common to have no name and no surname. After turning over, they adopt Han surnames arbitrarily, and often give themselves a surname indiscriminately.

The same phenomenon is the case with the rest of the Hu people, who just give themselves a surname, even without a surname. Among them, Xianbei is similar to Yanhuang Miao, and several tribes use place names as their surnames.

The Han army's ability to fight is generally considered to be excellent in weapons and armor, and the rumors Li Tu heard before are basically the same. Not only him, but Shi Jie and Zhao Guo basically had this idea, and the idea was reversed after Yao Yizhong was defeated.

"The intention of the Han army must be to attack Puyang." Li Tu patted the female wall at the head of the city, and said heavily, "Since they want it, let them attack!"

When the defender Puyang heard Li Tu's words, his smile turned white and he had to say: "General, Puyang has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and there are gaps in many walls. If you want to defend the city, please speed up the repair."

Li Tu was indifferent.

Shi Xuan, who is in White Horse, has been waiting for news. Li Nong has withdrawn his troops from the Tongguan battlefield for nearly two months. arrival.

Shi Xuan had sent an order to Li Nong to let the begging army enter Dunqiu County and cross the Yellow River to launch an attack on Jibei County anyway.

Shijie and Zhao Jun’s intentions were very simple. Xu Zheng led his army to break into Puyang County, and the Han army would inevitably become empty in Jibei County. The Han army’s fleet can also attract the attention of the Han army and disrupt the Han army’s overall strategy.

Coincidentally, Xu Zheng actually held the idea of ​​attacking the enemy's rear, even if he couldn't handle it, it would involve the enemy's attention and strength.

Lu Shaoyang, who was formerly the captain of Liu Yan's personal guard, started as a military commander after he was transferred to the army. It has been seven months since he was transferred to the Yanzhou battlefield. After accumulating military exploits, he became a knight. He was standing on the deck of the transport ship at this moment, listening to the sound of the waves on the river, looking at the dark opposite bank.

In the snow season, the Yellow River will not freeze immediately. The freezing has to wait for the deep winter, but after the snow starts, there will be ice **** on the Yellow River. In fact, it is not suitable for sailing.

There were not too many Han troops who were ordered to cross the river, only five thousand.

The hull of the transport ship is huge and deep in draft. Naturally, it cannot get to the shore directly. It stays not far from the shore. Then the boat is lowered from the ship. The soldiers climb the net from both sides of the ship to the boat, and then row the water before landing. .

"It's better to be slower than to rush." ​​Dou'a is still very nervous. There is moonlight today, but because it is not a full moon, the light is not enough. Then it is not suitable for a sneak attack to show the torch: "Slow down one by one, falling into the water. Don't shout afterwards, naturally there will be a robe who will control the boat and rescue you!"

Even though they have been very cautious, there will still be people who fall into the water completely. The few who can be rescued immediately are few. Most of them are supported by the pig urine bubble on their bodies and floated downstream and were blocked by nets.

Of the five thousand people, only four thousand and six hundred can actually reach the north bank of the Yellow River.

There were more than three hundred people before it opened, Dou'a's mood would naturally feel heavy. The order he received in advance was that there was no need to fight any major battles after crossing the river, and the goal was to harass the Lord.

Dunqiu County is not a big county. Compared with the flat terrain of Puyang County and Jibei County on the other side of the Yellow River, it is a hilly terrain, but China’s naming of the region is really reliable.

"Except for the necessary guarding and demobilization points along the Yellow River, the main enemy troops are stationed at Wangmang River." Dou'a did not dare to take the troops into the forest area, but took people to the edge of a hill. The officers were summoned to talk about the objectives of this battle, and finally they said: "The old man has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and most of them are shallows that can be crossed. We also have enough hills as a cover."

Because Shijie has a "beast protection order", there are many wild beasts in the wild this year. There are hordes of wolves everywhere, and there will never be a shortage of tigers in the woods. A few years ago, Shihu ordered more than 400,000 people to be recruited. People scattered on the road, but nearly 100,000 people were buried in the mouth of the beast.

In the daytime, it's okay. A large number of people gather together. The beasts know how to avoid evil, but at night the beasts don't know whether they are blind or brave, but they are very fierce.

The Gudu of Wang Mang River is of course from Wang Mang's handwriting. Its southwest is directly connected to the Yellow River, and its northeast reaches the territory of Pingyuan County. The total length is more than three hundred miles. After a hundred years, this delinquency has been almost deserted except for a few lots.

Dou'a was talking to the officer, but a scout sent back to report that a large number of enemy troops were found marching at night in the northwest, but there was no light in the night, and the enemy did not display torches. The scout could not see the flag clearly. And the specific size of the enemy.

"In a military meeting a few days ago, it seemed that I heard about the movement of the beggars from the Tongguan battlefield?" Lu Shaoyang looked at Dou'a and said, "Do you remember the school lieutenant?"

Several military princes also responded immediately.

Dou'a has actually forgotten about that. After being reminded, his face was very ugly, ugly rather than embarrassed. If the unknown armed forces found were really begging troops, it is conceivable that the begging troops came towards the banks of the Yellow River. What are you going to do?

Dou Aman said in confusion: "The problem is, our fleet hasn't found the enemy navy?"

The sections of the Yellow River along the Dunqiu County and Jibei County were all under the intensive monitoring of the Han fleet, and it was discovered that the non-own Ark ships were basically wiped out immediately. Furthermore, Dunqiu County has no connection to the Yellow River except for the Wangmang River and Gudu, and the Wangmang River is actually not allowed to go by boat. The Shijie Water Army can hide there even if they want to hide boats.

"There is only one water system in the nearby Yangping County that can be used for boating, that is, Luoshui." After all, Lu Shaoyang is looking forward to spending time with Liu Yan, even if he can't learn too much, he can hear and see. There are definitely more than his colleagues at the scene. He said: "Regardless of whether the beggars are coming or not, they cannot march east on a large scale to support the Jizhou battlefield."

Dou A was embarrassed. The army order was to harass the back wing of the enemy, but now it is discovered that the begging army may be coming, or it may not be the begging army. However, the enemy's large-scale mobilization must have a goal, and it is very likely to be With the thought of crossing the river to the south bank, what should they do?

"I think it can be like this." Lu Shaoyang waited for a while, seeing his boss and colleagues didn't say a word before continuing: "Send someone to report that the discovery here is inevitable, maybe... we can take advantage of the terrain and suddenness to set an ambush first. Come on, and then act according to the actual situation?"

There was no conflict with getting the military order, Dou'a thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Speaking of Dunqiu County is a hilly terrain, there shouldn’t be too many places where you can set up ambushes. They asked the scouts to pay close attention to the enemy’s movements. The main thing was to find out how much the enemy’s leading troops were, and then follow the enemy’s marching direction. Choose a location for ambushing.

One thing later confirms that it is really the begging army that came, and the leading army is the normal state of no more than no less, that is, three thousand vanguards.

"It's a bit strange. Why did they choose to march within ten miles of the river?" Dou'a had already taken people to a valley. After lying in ambush, he couldn't help being confused. He lowered his voice and asked: "Although the terrain is complicated, the enemy The army commander shouldn't ignore that we will send out scouts to pay close attention to our movements."

Lu Shaoyang said briefly: "They are begging troops."

Dou'a seemed to understand but he did not understand. He established meritorious titles and promoted him to official positions. He was trained many times, but his studies did not include politics.

With mental arithmetic and unintentional, then it is full of suddenness. With the help of night, the Han army succeeded in setting up an ambush. In a narrow terrain surrounded by hills on two sides, it ambushed three thousand beggars, but it did not complete its annihilation. , Just wiped out and captured more than a thousand people, and the remaining beggars ran away without hesitation when the situation was not good.

"I didn't start it too early!" Dou'a was very depressed: "How can they slip so fast!"

In fact, the three thousand beggars were not rushing together. Normally, one or two hundred people started, with two thousand people in the middle, and one thousand people in the rear.

Dou'a and the others are not familiar with the nearby terrain, and it's good enough to set up ambushes in a hurry, but they underestimated the "old fritters" nature of the begging army.

So, waiting for Lu Shaoyang to say briefly again, "They are begging troops." Dou A immediately understood.

In the early stage, the begging army was a force that was good at fighting and fighting. It relied on fighting and straying to deal with the Hu people. The begging army who can survive to the present has a few hearts and minds, and it is certain to fight hard battles. Yes, but the speed of slipping is really not slow, especially in a dark environment with complicated terrain.

After the ambush, Dou'a and others would definitely not stay where they were. They didn't figure out the situation and didn't rush into it. They relied on the complicated terrain to hide in a forest that was only five miles away from the Yellow River.

It must be said that after entering the forest, they fought many times~www.wuxiamtl.com~ but it was with wild beasts.

Early in the morning, the morning sun rose from the east, and the scout sent by Dou'a finally found out the situation, but it seemed very complicated. They learned that the intelligence was naturally sent to the rear, waiting for Xu Zheng to receive the situation. Yuan Qiao changed his original intention and reconnected Dou'a to the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Uncle Yan did the right thing."

Xu Zheng was surprised but not surprised by the mighty army of beggars coming over. Dou'a, a unit of only more than four thousand people, would be useless if it stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River at this time, so naturally it should be taken back. When he received the report, he was at war with Shijie Zhao Jun. He was on the nest cart with several colleagues standing beside him.

"The other party holds the same mind as us, but I don't know how determined it is."
