Sweep the World

Chapter 421: : Lao Tzu wants to participate in the Great War!

   War naturally requires strategy. In many cases, strategy is only a battle plan, but whether strategy can achieve the desired result depends on the soldiers who fight on the battlefield. ??

Xie Shi in the dark felt that he lost inexplicably, but he did not think about it, that is, the Jin army and the Han army cannot be regarded as the same at all, and then too much emphasis on family private soldiers, resulting in the division of the battlefield, will allow the Jin army. There will be a tendency to collapse so quickly in the battle.

   "Where are we?" Xie Shi asked when his mouth could speak. He did not yell loudly, but tried to lower his voice: "How is the battlefield situation?"

   The air is a bit stuffy, and it seems that the space is small enough. Judging from the breath, there are six people crowded in a small cellar?

   I don’t know who was talking in the dark. He said, “Before we left, General Xie had commanded his troops to stand firm in the camp, and the Han army was conducting a massive offensive.”

   Xie Shi listened hard, trying to hear something, but the result was silence, not even the sound of insects.

   Until Xie Shi was knocked out and taken away, it should be said that the Jin army only dealt with the disadvantage but did not collapse. About 3,000 of them were divided on the defensive line, and there were close to 4,000 in the camp behind.

The Han army led by Huan Wen was only 10,000. After the battle, there were definitely not as many as 10,000. They were also about to attack the Jin army camp with a relatively wide range, and wanted to kill the still organized Jin army in a short time. It's not easy.

   The reason why no sound entered Xie Shi's ears was that he was taken away from the battlefield by his escorts for about 13 miles, and came to the refuge prepared in advance, that is, a deeply dug cellar.

  The space of the cellar should be three by three meters square, and its entrance and exit is a three-meter passage that only allows one person to pass through, so the cellar is below three meters, no wonder it feels extremely humid. There are food and water reserves in the cellar in advance, so that the originally small space becomes very crowded after entering the six people, because too many people breathe and lack of good ventilation, and the air becomes very turbid.

They waited in the cellar for seven days, until someone from outside came over, and all the talents including Xie Shi came to the ground. At this time, Huan Wen had defeated the original Jin army led by Xie Shi, the Han army. Is marching toward praise.

   Xie Shi's face was very pale, and the person was relatively shrunken. It was the long-term influence of the humid cellar environment. He asked: "Xie Ping... and everyone?"

   The Xie's guard who came from behind said with a dim expression: "General Xie, including more than four thousand soldiers, was captured together."

Xie Shi learned more later. Xie Ping’s army only persisted until the third day before breaking through the city. Xie Ping still wanted to resist when they had no hope of winning, but not all generals in the Jin army had them. The will to resist in a totally unfavorable environment was that after Xie Ping was attacked and bound, the Jin army on the river bank put down their weapons and surrendered.

   After the army led by Xie Ping surrendered in a mutiny, the Han army immediately rushed to new breath.

   Xinxi actually had five thousand defenders, but they did not expect that Huan Wen would really let the Han army mix with the surrendered Jin army and enter the city as a defeated army. It should be said that there were real Jin army generals who rebelled. The person in charge of the Jin army who defended the city would see that acquaintances opened the city gate without hesitation, causing the city gate to be suddenly attacked and controlled by the Han army, waiting for the Han army to swarm into the city. The situation has become irreversible.

   "Have the Han army suffered heavy losses?" Xie Shi wanted to know one thing: "How many troops did they have when they pressed for praise?"

This question is not anyone who can casually hit a two, five or six. Xie Shi could not get the answer he wanted. He made a rough estimate, that is, how the Han army after the battle should lose a three. Four thousand, then six or seven thousand plus the surrendered Jin troops, Huan Wen still had ten thousand troops.

The truth is that the Han army did not lose as much as three or four thousand. After taking the new interest, Huan Wen still had close to 8,000 Han soldiers. He did not bring those soldiers on the march, but directly surrendered. The soldiers drove on the ship and would be transported to Jiangdu. After a short rest, the final destination was to cross the sea to Liaodong.

   Xie Shi is now facing a difficult problem. It is very difficult for them to go to Xincai for a total of seven people, and it is not easy to return directly to the south of the Yangtze River.

   A rugged-looking guard said: "Little master, Xin Cai is already an isolated city. There should be a siege by the Han army, even if we can get close, how can we pass through the layers of the Han army and enter the city?"

   Originally speaking, Xie Shi really didn't want to lose so many troops and then fled back to the south of the Yangtze River griefly, especially when he brought out the 1,400 elite family private soldiers to be buried. After experiencing a blow, he was much more mature, not arrogant enough to think that with six people, he would be able to traverse the land full of Han troops.

   "We must have soldiers who fled in the wilderness, right?" Xie Shi really didn't want to go back to the south of the Yangtze River now. He said: "There are still many rich people in the local area. Can you get their support?"

   It seems that Xie Shi wants to regroup and compete with the Han army again?

   On the other side, Huan Wen, who easily overcomes the praise, is in a very good mood. He has received news from Wang Pu that the army approaching from Xuzhou has arrived under Ruyin City, and Li Kuang is coming in for the praise.

"It's fine if you haven't found the whereabouts of that kid." Huan Wen was talking about Xie Shi, and he said with a smile: "Even if it is because of An Shi's face, I can't kill it during the battle. I'm a prisoner. There can be no abuse. Since I have searched for it and have not found it, it can be regarded as the good fortune of that kid."

Yuan Qiao didn’t plan to waste any more time on Xie Shi. He knew that Huan Wen’s mentioning Xie Shi was a joke in a happy mood. Cai is."

The offensive and defensive battle of Ruyin City ended three days ago. After Li Kuang threatened, there were many people in Ruyin City who wanted to act as internal responders. However, the fall of Ruyin City was not because the city should open the gates, but the families in the city. The private soldiers failed to seize the city gate, leading to chaotic battles between the defending Jin army and the private soldiers of the families in the city. The Han army maneuvered at an appropriate time. It should be said that it took heavy casualties to take down some sections of the city wall. After that, the Han army committed suicide to open the city gate, which led to the fall of Ruyin City.

   Li Kuang, who had captured Ruyin, led his troops to Xincai. During the show of the war, the state leader always "braked with stillness". This "quietness" directly made Xincai an absolutely right solitary city.

   "Xin Cai has been reinforced and heightened repeatedly, and Chu Pai has nearly 70,000 troops?" Yuan Qiao didn't look down on Chu Pai so much, he frowned and said, "The war in Puyang County has exploded."

   Dealing with a tortoise with a shrunken head is actually the easiest way to turn a war into a bad one, that is, one side must guard against the death, the other side can only suffer heavy casualties and time-consuming, it is completely spent on both sides.

   No matter how you look at it, Chu Pai will not send troops out of the city. It is estimated that he does not understand the commonplace of military affairs that cannot be defended in a solitary city, and that it is undesirable to defend it, but it also makes it impossible for Huan Wen to easily attack Xincai.

"Yes, the war on Puyang's side has already begun." Huan Wen was also frowning, he said: "The two sides are attacking and defending each other around the white horse and Puyang as the dividing line. The army is at a disadvantage and will soon evolve into it. In an offensive and defensive battle between cities, I just don’t know how the king arranged it?"

   There are only two battle fronts in the Han country. Of course, one is Huanwen's side, and the other is the battle of Puyang that has just begun.

   Huanwen’s headquarter of the Han army is only 30,000, with a servant army of 200,000. They have blocked Chu Bao, including the rest of the Jin army, in Xincai City. Under the premise that the Yangtze River is controlled by the Han fleet, it is very difficult for the Jin army to go northward for assistance.

The Han army in Puyang County faced Shihu with a personal rate close to the 180,000 Jie people’s army. The number of Shijie Zhao troops on the periphery should be about three to four hundred thousand, which is equivalent to 80,000 Han after the war broke out. The army relied on the line of defense established in winter to deal with all Shijie Zhao army.

"How else can I arrange it?" Huan Wen didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Yuzhou is not only our army, but also the 30,000 who are in confrontation with Sun Fudu. The king must be paying attention to the war on our side. , Just wait for the Jin army to be resolved and mobilize us to go north to join the war."

The two were talking on horseback. They took a thousand people and headed towards Xincai in an exaggerated manner. The scenery along the way did not attract them at all. Both Huanwen and Yuan Qiao wanted to reach Xincai as soon as possible. Observe with your own eyes what defense method the head of the country is actually doing.

   It should be said that Huan Wen is still very cautious. He left two thousand in Xinxi and four thousand in the praise letter. He will wait for the 30,000 people mobilized by Li Kuang to replace the garrisoned Han army headquarters.

Now Huan Wen doesn’t know that his caution is not useless. It is that Xin Cai’s offensive and defensive battle has entered a fierce stage. Xie Shi really relies on gathering the defeated troops and persuading the local tyrants to create an army, or is it because of Xin Xi and praise. The letter left enough defenders to not cause Xie Shi to cause more trouble, but Huan Wen was temporarily unable to make a move, so Xie Shi led people in the wilderness.

   Baoxin is not too far from Xincai. When Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao were within ten miles of Xincai, Li Kuang personally led them to greet them.

  As the second lieutenant of the Han army in Yuzhou, Li Kuang has the responsibility to personally report to Huan Wen on the situation of the war situation, even including the early stages of the war.

   "Cheng Ji has done a very good job!" Huan Wen highly affirmed Li Kuang's achievements, and said with a smile: "I would definitely ask the king for your credit!"

Li Kuang was very happy when he heard this. He had already figured out for himself more than once before. If his merits were affirmed, how could he be promoted by two ranks, and he was promoted to two ranks with his official position. All he was in the rank of Zhong Lang general. The military attache is expected to compete for one of the three generals in the West, South, and China.

Don’t even look at it as a general of Zhonglang. The official position of Han is based on the Western Han and Eastern Han. Expedition, general chariot, general hussar...and so on, those who can only sit in the center and don't easily leave for the expedition.

   "The future of the master after this battle is even more beautiful." Li Kuangman respectfully said to Huan Wen: "It must be a four-town or four-strike level."

   Huan Wen laughed "haha" after hearing this, he was rushing to become the core military commander. After laughing, his face gradually became serious, and he walked to the army camp with nothing to say, waiting for the main seat of the Chinese army's big tent, and asked: "What's the situation in Xin Caicheng?"

   The person reporting this time is Wang Biao. Before, he first led the 30,000 Han army to Xincai. After the soldiers came to Xincai, the situation was relatively strange, saying: "The self army arrived at Xincai city without a single warring student."

   Yuan Qiao listened to Daqi and asked, "Isn't there even a scout war?"

   That's how Wang Biao's face looked strange, and he replied, "Going back to Long History, the enemy army was completely shrunk, and our army did not rush to attack the city."

   One side was hiding in the shell of the tortoise, and the other side felt that there was no need to attack for the time being. The result was that there was really no small-scale battle.

For a moment, Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao were staring at each other. They did not understand what the plan was about the state leader~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Chu Pai had been staying in Xincai, and he tried to collect food into the city when he contracted his forces. At the end it will be estimated that the food in the city should be enough for them to eat for a year to a year and a half. "Li Kuang did not count the consumption of residents in the city. He added: "From the mouth of the surrender Li Mai, there are 30,000 regular Shanxi troops in the city, and the private soldiers of each family are close to 30,000. There are about 20,000. "

   Speaking of local tycoon, Li Kuang clearly showed a murderous look on his face. As a result, none of the Han generals, including Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao, had any good expressions.

   The place where the Han army went was not that there was no place to take the initiative to take refuge. It should be said that there were still not a few refuges, and all those who could take refuge were all embarrassed or calculating how to obtain benefits. Those who have not taken refuge in it are impossible to say that they all stand on the side of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Most of them adopt an attitude of not helping each other.

They are all people who have reached a certain height. How can they not know that local power has always been a major issue that has plagued the center. There have been controversies about how to deal with places. There are so many places on the battlefield that have unclear attitudes, but they will never let the troops come. The generals can have fun.

   "I didn't have time before..." Huan Wen sneered. He kept touching the hilt of the sword while speaking: "It's time to clear the court."

   Yuan Qiao nodded: "Chu Pai can't get out of it. It may be a protracted city offensive and defensive battle. It's time to clear the ground."

To put it simply, the two armies are fighting, especially the invading side will never allow uncontrollable weapons within the range of the battlefield. Then comes the next city offensive and defensive battle. No matter which Han army general thinks there is more cannon fodder, the better. . 8
