Sweep the World

Chapter 438: : This style of play is too rascal

? Spike.

   After arriving, the Han army only launched two tentative offensives and stopped. That was when Li Tan found that it was impossible to take Jijin with his troops.

   It was supposed to cooperate with Li Tan's fleet to attack Jijin. When they sailed about fifteen miles away from Jijin, they repeatedly hit the rocks. And what the bottom of the ship touched was not the reef at all, it was the stone tiger that caused the stone jade to sink.

In addition to large and small shipwrecks in the river section surrounding Jijin, stakes have also been laid down in some relatively gentle and shallow areas of the river. Similar movements were only noticed by the Han army and did not pay attention to it. This is a special situation. At that time, the forces of both sides were frequently mobilized. Furthermore, the self-sinking of the Shijieshui Army and the piling of wooden piles occurred at night, even if the Han Army found that corpses were constantly floating from upstream. Also ignored.

The Han army's fleet was blocked at a distance of fifteen miles downstream from Jijin. During this period, burning boats and ships would float down the current. It was blocked and faced the danger of fire. The fleet could only temporarily enter Luzi. The river hides.

   It was only Li Tan's army all the way to Jijin, facing Zhao Jun who was at least 150,000 Shijie. Under the premise that the strength was not very sufficient, there was no point in conducting a strong attack. What needed to be waited for the follow-up friendly army to come over.

   With Jijin as the center, the scope of the camp built by Shijie Zhao Jun is far beyond imagination. The south bank is about ten miles deep with camps and fortifications, and the north bank looks even more continuous.

   It is obvious that Han's decision-making error occurred. First, it did not encircle the stone tiger, and secondly, the troops seemed to be too scattered to seize the opportunity for a decisive battle. Now that Shihu has reached the north bank of the Yellow River, the Han army has two troops trapped in the hinterland of Shijie. Huanwen's subordinate has been surrounded on all sides, and Li Kuang's subordinate will face the situation of being besieged in Suoyang City if it does not retreat.

  On the sixth day when Li Tan arrived in Jijin, Ran Min led his troops to arrive.

"It now appears that we should attack Yecheng or Xiangguo decisively at that time." Ran Min was actually more brooding about this incident: "The same is to make Shihu reach the north bank of the river, but one is to force Shihu to retreat. , The other is to let Shihu calmly arrange."

The first civil and military dispute in Han was based on Liu Yan's prudent strategy and the civilian officials won without any suspense. If there is no unwillingness on the military commander's side, it may not be necessary. Waiting for the current situation to develop like this, the civilian officials It's hard to say what kind of thoughts Bian has, and most generals have turned from unwillingness to resentment.

   "There are new tricks now, do you plan to use the trick?" Ran Min was talking about a trap set up by using the stone tiger to strike halfway. But he is very unoptimistic: "What can be clearly seen casually, it is likely to be a fascinating formation, and their ideas are probably going to fail."

   Li Tan listened silently. After Ran Min arrived, he took a tour around Jijin to familiarize himself with the terrain.

I have to say a very real thing. The terrain of Jijin is very flat, and the places that the eyes can see are basically clear at a glance. What layouts are basically laid out on the surface. The difference is to judge that the enemy will rely on the cover of the camp. Where to hide the heavy soldiers.

   Ran Min talked a lot. Seeing Li Tan's respectful attitude, he didn't say much. He felt boring and asked the key question: "In your opinion, how long can Huan Wen last?"

   Li Tan followed Ran Min Lema to pause, and after thinking about it, he said, "Huan Lang has a large number of equipment troops. How long he can last depends on when the arrows and other materials are exhausted."

  The commanding officer of the Han army is clear that if he wants to make his own materials bottom out, it will only happen in one situation, that is, there is no chance to build a workshop after arriving in a place.

After such a long time, even if it was not specially observed, it should have long been understood that their king is like a living god. Not only can he mobilize elite troops from places that no one knows, but also as long as he owns some buildings. Efficiently produce war materials, and even get a steady stream of food from a strange building.

   Tacit things need to be observed by themselves, no one will talk about strange things that are weird no matter how they look at them, they know that they only need to enjoy that kind of convenience.

   Precisely because there are so many weird things, people with sufficient identity in the Han country never doubt that the Central Plains will be restored. The difference is how much time it takes and how much will be lost during the period. More importantly, internal conflicts will occur, but no one wants to shake Liu Yan's dominant position.

Ran Min is obviously also a person who knows the "inside situation". If he has some thoughts before, after knowing the situation, the only pursuit left is to become the king because of merit. There is absolutely no desire to be independent or rebellious again. After all, Although his emotional intelligence is not high, it does not mean that he is stupid.

"That's worth fighting." Ran Min will ask Huan Wen. It was the friendship between the two people who worked together to attack Yecheng or Xiangguo. Afterwards, the two found that each other had a similar temperament with their own, and they knew each other a lot. Hate the meaning of late. He said to Li Tan: "The king means that Jijin's strategic position has begun to decline, and what is left is how many enemy troops can be eliminated here to create favorable conditions for the subsequent battle."

   Li Tan understood that it was a positive battle, and the two sides were completely confronting each other with their strengths.

Ran Min brought 80,000 Han troops. The total number of Han troops on Jijin's side increased to 180,000. However, the number of soldiers was 90,000. The remaining Han troops cannot be said to be unable to participate in the war, but they tend to be more inclined most of the time. To serve the nature of combat soldiers.

  Because of the terrain, Shi Jie and Zhao Jun knew it when Ran Min led his army. They didn't make any extra moves, they just kept strengthening the fortifications of the camp, putting on a defensive posture.

   On the second day after Ran Min’s arrival, dense smoke rose from the camp of the Han army before it was light, and the same was true for Zhao Jun's camp at Shijie. Judging from the cooking smoke, the two armies are doing extra meals, which indicates that the calm of the past few days will be broken today.

The sky was bright, and the Han soldiers lined up after a meal. Looking at the arms, they were led by the various infantry soldiers of the Imperial Guard. Followed by the foot soldiers among the soldiers, the cavalry came close to the stone. After Jie Zhao Jun's position was two miles away, he swept away on the left and right wings as a sweeping formation.

When Ran Min and Li Tan appeared at the forefront of the battlefield, the figures of Zhao Jun from Shijie on the opposite side relied on the arrangement of fortifications built in large numbers. The sound of the strong drums of the Han army and the desolate horn of Zhao Jun from Shijie echoed, cooperating with the two armies. The floating flags gave the air a sense of killing.

   "The world has changed." Ran Min seemed to have a clear mockery, and said: "Hu people are good at riding and shooting, and like to play field battles. I didn't expect to have to fight camp defense now."

Li Tan is observing the source of the soldiers in the enemy barracks. He can see very clearly through single-scope telescopes. Zhao Jun appears in Shijie, mostly with yellow skin and black heads. His eyes are all black or brown, with only a few white skins and browns. Hair, green eyes. So does it mean that the Jie people only exist as war superintendents, and it is the various hustle and Jin people who need to work hard?

   "Hu people don't have many strong crossbows, and the color of their bows is not pure." Ran Min was also watching with a single-tube telescope and commented: "Our military's strong crossbows have a better range than the enemy."

Shijie Zhao Jun must also understand the gap between the two armies’ long-range attack weapons. When they built the barracks, they arranged a lot of roofs. The particular point is the wooden raft structure plus fire-resistant sand. Anything is hayloft and soil is added. It makes the fortifications more like a village-like existence at a glance.

   Ran Min ordered the necessary melee **** force and a large number of crossbow troops to start advancing as the lead, followed by crossbows and drappers to follow up.

Nearly 30,000 Han troops were advancing in a half-moon shape. When the two sides were three hundred steps away from each other, the crossbowmen stopped and lined up their arrows. The rest of the troops continued to move forward. The army stopped at 200 paces. The melee units, archers, and drapers did not stop until the enemy's fortifications approached about 150 paces.

A burst of "crush" sounded first on the battlefield. It was the sound of too many crossbows firing together. After one sound, there was another sound. "Dark clouds" made up of crossbow arrows appeared in the sky, and they uttered in mid-air. The sound of "shoo shoo" broke the air forward, falling in patches and hitting various objects.

  If you are in the Shijie Zhaojunyingpan, the environment you are facing is like a rainy day, the difference is that it is not raindrops that fall, but a crossbow arrow that will kill you.

Not all Shijie Zhao Jun has a shelter that can be covered. Waves after waves of intensive crossbow arrows are shot. After a group of Shijie Zhao Jun was killed and injured, a group of Shijie Zhaojun was killed and wounded. After that, they scattered to sheltered locations to escape, and they were covered by the crossbow arrows. The camp area was screaming amidst the screams.

The strong crossbow troops of the Han army continued to shoot arrows quickly and mechanically. A similar situation happened long ago in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the Qin Army used the strong crossbow as an early offensive every place. Will shoot arrows at the enemy camps or cities continuously for six or seven days, in order to destroy the morale of the enemy.

   Soon, the Han army's crossbows also joined the ranks of launching. It is not necessary to say that the ceiling built by the Shijie Zhaojun can prevent the crossbow arrows of the strong crossbow, but it may not be necessary to face the crossbow arrows that are about one foot in length and appear thick.

One after another, spear-like crossbow arrows fell after a long leap. Their sharp metal arrowheads penetrated into the ceiling, penetrated the soil, broke through the thatched layer, and caused a scream of horror. There are screams.

   The thatched structure of the roof cannot stop the crossbow arrows, while the timber structure of the roof depends on how strong it is. Only a small number of crossbow arrows can shoot through the roof of the wood structure, and more only make the roof shake after hitting. Some sand fell on the stone block Zhao Jun who was hiding in it, and then they frightened them stupidly.

Because the Han army approached too close, and then the Han army’s long-range attack weapons were too long, Ma Qiu, who was in charge of commanding the army’s defense, saw that the camp area covered by arrows was actually within half a mile of the camp. It's fortunate that Zhang Qun spent so much effort on making those roofs.

   "Hold on!" Ma Qiu is not much respected by Shihu now, or he would not be assigned such a task. He kept yelling: "Defend the enemy's long-range arrows and wait for the enemy to rush into the camp. We will kill them well!"

   The battlefield is large enough, and all kinds of voices are flooded. No matter how loud a person is, the distance that a person shouts can be limited. At most, he can inspire people around him, and then cheer himself up.

Speaking of it, Ma Qiu has really lost the years in recent years. First, he followed Shihu’s attack on Murong Xianbei, who had not established the country at the time, to annihilate his army, and then led his army alone to attack Zhang’s Liangguo. Sha, so that the official posts of Liangzhou Governor and General Zhengdong were waived.

Ma Qiu's short-lived turn occurred in March of this year. He was appointed as the governor of the three counties of Henan, Hanoi, and Xingyang. He was stationed in the three counties, and he was likely to become General Zhengxi to enter the Guanzhong. The result was the Han army. Use troops against Xingyang County. After he was defeated by Xie An, he immediately retreated to Ji County. Hanoi County was quickly attacked by the Han army. In his anger, Shihu once again sacked his three-county governorship and gave him an official post of Puyang County. Jijin served as the forward commander of the defense against the Han army.

If people are unlucky enough~www.wuxiamtl.com~, everything will not go smoothly. Ma Qiu hopes that the Han army will quickly launch a close-range attack, but the Han army just uses the advantages of long-range archers to shoot continuously. , It was the endless shooting of strong crossbows, crossbows, and boulders. After six days of shooting, the Shijie Zhao army was killed and injured, but the Han army did not intend to launch a melee offensive.

After six days of various long-range weapon strikes, Shijie Zhao’s camp was in a mess. There were densely packed crossbow arrows everywhere, and there were a lot of them as thick as long spears. The round stone bullets were almost able to be put together. Piled into a hill.

What the Han army caused to Shijie Zhao’s army camp was that, regardless of what fortifications, under that kind of high-intensity bombardment, the fortifications became pieces of rubble. The dead Shijie Zhao army was thrown on the battlefield and no one took care of them. I had to retreat back and forth. After six days, I retreated two miles. The Han army entered the original position of the Shijie Zhao army camp, and then continued endless shooting.

Ma Qiu tried to get his troops to launch a counterattack, but the result was miserable. It was a kind of arrow that drew rain as soon as a person appeared. Will join in, their attempt is only to move forward less than a hundred steps before a biliary collapse and flee backwards.

   "When are they going to shoot!?" Ma Qiu's hair turned pale in sorrow, and he looked very haggard, both angry and with a deep sense of powerlessness: "Is there a war like this!"

Of course there were those who fought like this. The Qin army had done this against the Central Plains countries and the Huns. The Western Han army who fought back from the fort also did this against the Xiongnu and the various grassland tribes. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the army still faced all kinds of things in the Western Regions. Do, the current Han army can still continue to do this.
