Sweep the World

Li Nong has never been a decisive person. He also knows that he is a person who is easily influenced by personal feelings. For a long time, it was easy to hesitate to split the begging army, and now he is in a situation where he cannot advance or retreat.

Wang Mo only asked Li Nong's eyes to indicate, "What kind of conditions does the King of Han offer?"

Ran Min bluntly told: "The troops disarmed on the spot, and the generals including Li Gong went to Fenggao."

"The sword and the fish?" Wang Mo made a ridiculous expression and said, "The King of Han is really..."

"The reality is like this." Ran Min looked at Li Nong and said in the tone of an insider: "Li Nong has more than 300,000 people. How many can fight? No more than 50,000. You lack weapons and don't have enough warm clothing. There is even no guarantee for the grain. If you face an opponent with similar conditions, you can naturally fight with a brave spirit, but you are facing a Han army with sophisticated armor and equipment, and a more fierce and undaunted Han army."

Li Nong doesn't need to say more lie. The reality of the begging army is just like what Ran Min said. It can even be said that the conditions have never been better. He involuntarily looked at the Han army that had stopped, watching the men and horses with heavy armor and cavalry, and then watching the assault cavalry with men and horses equipped with plate armor, the guards behind didn’t see it and it was clear. Basically equipped with armor.

The Han army is really very sophisticated in weapons and armor, and it is not so equipped with silver guns and wax heads. This is a fact that has been shown in the wars time and time again in recent years, and everyone will feel deep pressure when faced with it.

"Yongzeng." Li Nong said melancholy: "We are not without the ability to resist, Hanwang's approach is too small for me to wait."

"Gong Li, it seems that you really don't know what kind of opponent you are facing." Ran Min has already begun to pull the reins, turning the horse's head, and saying: "In the end, I will have to do a game."

The begging army from Taocheng has already approached. They did not move forward after being signaled by Li Nong. They waited for Ran Min to take the people away. Only then did the begging army step forward and embrace Li Nong and Wang Mo back. In the city.

"The King of Han is really too much. It is clearly to force a surrender rather than a surrender!" In fact, Wang Mo is still more inclined to change his banner and switch to Han. After all, Ran Min has already given a good example, which is only given by Liu Yan. The reaction was truly exaggerated. He unwillingly asked Li Nong, "What should we do?"

"It seems that I have to do a game so that Han will no longer underestimate me." Li Nong was in a situation of wandering around, knowing that he could not beat him and he did not want to make his own destiny completely depend on others, and said: "It's just... The Han army is really hard to deal with, especially in field battles."

Think about it, there are five thousand armored riding gear that are enough for Li Nong. He is not a fledgling young man. He is very clear about what it will be like to face a heavy cavalry in a flat terrain, especially if he can't use it. The infantry of the United States went to fight with the heavy cavalry to fight for death.

The amount of armor and equipment it possesses represents how strong the national strength is. The Shihu gathers the power of the country to arm three thousand armored cavalry and eight thousand heavy infantry soldiers. It is precisely because of the existence of the Dragon Guards. The Jie clan became a firm overlord of the Central Plains. Looking at the Liaodong side, Murong Xianbei, armed with three thousand armor and riding equipment, immediately swept the entire Liaodong including the surrounding area.

"Yong Zeng originally had three thousand armors and equipment." Li Nong actually didn't understand how Ran Min did it. He just said, "In this way, Han Wang has eight thousand armors and equipment, even Tens of thousands of heavy infantry?"

According to people at this time, as long as they wear iron armor, they can be regarded as armored men, and people and horses can also be called armored riding gear if they wear heavy armor. Armorers are better equipped, that is, not only good knights, but also high enough and good horses must be equipped for the armor.

Speaking of it, the present age should be the best time for war horses in the Central Plains. Not only do we have pony horses (Mongolian horses) on the grasslands, but also Dawan horses and Wusun horses brought from the Western Regions, and even Warm-blooded horse (Arab horse) from Central Asia. The number of horses is far beyond the previous generations, and the number is beyond imagination. That is why the Jin army in the east has good equipment but it is difficult to go north. The Jin army has repeatedly faced a large number of Huren cavalry.

The begging army also has cavalry, a relatively elite group of people in the begging army, all of whom have spent the rest of their lives. Some of them were summoned by Li Nong and asked if they had the confidence to fight the Han army outside the city.

"It's definitely not possible to fight head-on combat." Li Cunxiao already knew the conditions offered by Han, and felt a gloomy feeling in his heart: "There is no room for guerrilla warfare..."

Now it is the Han army attacking, begging to live the army defending. As a general of the begging army, no one wants to go out of the city to fight with the heavy cavalry. If you guard, it seems that you can guard. What is the value of guarding?

The begging army is in the most contradictory moment, and the Han army is not sitting and watching the show.

On the second day after Ran Min arrived in Taocheng, when the Han army drove out of the camp again, equipment such as crossbows, catapults, and city ladders could already be seen. In contrast, there were about three thousand infantry troops.

"Gong Li." Miao Song did not go back. He was standing on the gate of Taocheng at the moment, making his final efforts: "The dangerous city is not enough to defend, and the military will not be able to fight. Besides, once the war really starts... I'm afraid... I'm afraid. There will be unpredictable consequences."

Miao Song was wandering around in Taocheng yesterday, fully aware of the current situation of the beggars.

After a winter, at least the beggars in Taocheng looked very embarrassed. You can often see frozen corpses on the side of the road, and most people can also see that they are skinny under the condition of lack of food and clothing. It seems that only some soldiers look relatively better, but in fact they are not much better.

"Gong Li, why shed unnecessary blood and cause unnecessary deaths and injuries?" Miao Song has seen the crossbow bolts installed on the windings of the crossbows outside the city, and the catapult is also wringing the winch for security stone bullets: "My lord belongs to the King of Han. No one was killed inexplicably, they were all properly placed!"

The Han army had already started to move. The first test shot of the bed crossbow was off the string. The crossbow arrow, which should be one foot in length, flew for a distance and inserted into the rammed earth city wall. It must have caused a certain amount of vibration to that city wall. Caused the begging army soldiers in that area to exclaim.

"The King of Han did not say what treatment to give." Li Nong looked calm and said: "The old man is not afraid of being imprisoned or killed. Yong Zeng still tries his best to get treatment for those who follow him. How can the old man not make any efforts? ?"

A very loud bowstring sound was emitted from the Han army, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded one after another, and there were continuous clashes and screams from this side of the city wall.

After the crossbow was the catapult, the defending army general had to order the temporary abandonment of the defense and let people escape under the city wall.

The Han army did not attack the tower, allowing a group of people including Li Nong to stand here and watch the Han army outside the city.

The three thousand pawns of the Han army advanced to about one hundred and fifty steps, a "swish" sound resounded, a "dark cloud" rose from the ground to the sky, and densely packed crossbow arrows were shot out. Soon there were intensive knocks on the wall, and the covered section of the wall was filled with crossbow arrows.

Almost within half an hour, even though there were no defenders on the wall, the Han army's various long-range attack weapons were constantly demonstrated, but they did not climb the city.

At the beginning, the begging army general on the side of the tower still talked, and saw that no one was speaking in the middle. Most of them have been fighting for half of their lives, but it is the first time to see the continuous coverage of such powerful long-range attack methods as today.

Suddenly, a muffled noise erupted from the city wall, and then the city wall that was continuously hit by stone bullets burst and collapsed, and a series of movements brought dust rolling.

Li Nong murmured, "The reinforced gap cannot withstand repeated bombardment, it collapsed..."

After all, the Beggar Army is not a regular army. Their method of repairing the gap is to re-compact the soil. In winter, it is rain and snow. After a while of rain, the repair of the gap is too late to dry. The old city walls formed a fit.

The section of the collapsed city wall is not small. After the dust dissipates, should it be nearly four feet wide?

The movement from the city wall spread to the city, bursts of exclamation came from a distance, and it seemed that a riot could still be heard.

The people in the city, they are really confused, they are upset, but no one is running randomly. After all, they all have long-term experience of fighting with the army, but the exclaim and wailing are really inevitable.

"Return?" Li Nong looked at his subordinates, and saw their faces full of iron and trepidation: "Let's surrender."

When no one was speaking, Miao Song's relieved voice was especially obvious.

Li Nong looked like he was ten years old, and said lonely: "It's not the crime of war, but the incompetence of war."

It was Shihu who threw the begging army to the south bank of the Yellow River. Li Nong didn't believe that Shihu would not know what the begging army was like. Not to mention the lack of armor and equipment, even the food was very scarce. However, in this way, the stone tiger also threw the beggar army to the south bank of the Yellow River. Li Nong didn't know whether the stone tiger trusted the beggar army, or threw it like a piece of garbage.

An apricot and yellow flag was raised in Taochengzhi, and the tightly closed city gate was opened. The first one was Li Nong walking on foot, followed by a group of generals begging to live.

Ran Min, who received the news, didn’t show up too much. He came to meet Li Nong personally. He saw Li Nong who was full of vicissitudes of life. avoid."

Li Nong really didn't know that Ran Min could say such a thing. He looked at Ran Min with a lackluster look, and asked hoarsely: "Yongzeng, what will King Han deal with us?"

"Those who can fight should be collected, and those who can't fight should be placed separately." Ran Min actually had a lot of emotions, and Li Nong's fall was tantamount to the begging army withdrawing from the stage of history. He squeezed a smile: "Gong Li, but please rest assured. Now it is the time for the king to hire people, maybe Min will soon be able to ride the battle side by side with his father again."

Li Nong's response was a bitter smile.

Xie An, who was standing still, suddenly asked, "Gong Li, you are willing to come to the south bank of the Yellow River. I am afraid that you have made a decision right from the beginning?"

Ran Min was taken aback when he heard it, and quickly reacted, thinking: [Indeed! Li Nong is not a reckless man, how can he not know what will happen after crossing the river. It's just that he twisted and squeezed at the back, which really suits him. 】

Li Nong still smiled bitterly.

There was already a Han army entering the city. Li Tan was at the forefront of the entire army entering the city. What he saw were people standing on both sides of the road who were not clothed in cold weather. Those people did not have much emotions. Just stood quietly and watched.

First, the Han army entered the city, followed by a steady stream of horse-drawn carriages, and some auxiliary soldiers set up pots and utensils to find firewood. Soon bursts of rice fragrant spread throughout the city, waiting for the call for people to line up for rice porridge, the city immediately rang Bursts of cheers.

Li Nong heard the pleasant cheers from Taocheng in the camp of the Han army, but the bitterness on his face did not diminish at all. He said with emotion to Ran Min, who was kneeling and sitting in front of him, "I haven't heard such cheers for a long time. Sound."

"The material of the great Han is beyond imagination, and the king has never been stingy with the people under his rule." Ran Min had no loyalty, looked at Li Nong intently, and asked: "Gong Li, Min Ke wrote a letter to the king, but I don’t know what is going on under the general will?"

"Yong Zeng, beheading first and playing afterwards is not something human officials can do." Li Nong shook his head and said, "Next time, a certain person doesn't want to meet the heavenly king on the battlefield."

It turned out that it was Ran Min's big deal, saying that he could take Li Nong to the Puyang battlefield first, and then write a letter to explain to Liu Yan.

Ran Min looked down on Li Nong's so much sentimentality, and he was willing to fight for Li Nong because of his past friendship. Seeing Li Nong's resolute attitude, he stopped mentioning it, and switched to retelling the past, but there was not much to talk about.

It is a good thing for Han to be able to force the begging army that is entrenched in Jebei County without fighting. It saves time and increases the population of about 300,000.

Liu Yan, who was in Fenggao, received news about the return of Li Nong leading his army three days later. At this time, the news that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was really gathering in a big way was sent a day earlier~www.wuxiamtl.com~No However, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty made moves, and Sun Fudu's branch and Shijie and Zhaojun from Chenliu County and Liang County also began to restlessly.

"Since the enemy troops in those positions move first, the first battle after the beginning of spring is to the south." Liu Yan was standing in front of the map of mountains and rivers. He looked at a lot of positions, and his eyes frequently swept across Jiankang: "Servant Army Is the transfer in place?"

In one winter, the Han country rectified 200,000 slaves as servants, which were dispatched in batches along the Yangtze River. Most of them were deployed on the Huainan line and the Yingshui line.

Wang Meng hurriedly checked a copy of the slip, and after earnestly distinguishing it, he replied: "My lord, there are already 120,000 servants arriving."

Liu Yan nodded first, then touched his chin, as if asking and muttering to himself: "What gave the little court so much courage that he really wanted to go north?" (to be continued)).
