Chapter 421: Take Jinyang in the First World War
Compared with the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains, it can reach 1,500 or even 2,000 meters at an altitude. Compared with the western mountains with steep mountains and extremely steep slopes, the Luliang Mountains located in central China have a much gentler mountainous shape, and on the other hand, the tops of the mountain are not as many as those of the Qinling Mountains. On the contrary, they are mostly flat tops.
Moreover, since the soil of Luliang Mountain is loess and the erosion of the radial water system in the mountains, there are actually many canyons in the mountains here. After being guided by the Huns who had been grazing for a long time, the Han army really saved a lot of time when they passed through.
However, even so, Luliang is a mountain with a width of 30 to 100 kilometers. Walking through such mountains, under the transportation conditions of this era, no matter how elite the Han army is, no matter how their Grand Sima set an example, it was constantly encouraging morale. By the time the team walked out of the mountains, a month had passed.
"What is the overall situation of our detachment? How much food does it have to accompany the army?"
"Reported to the Grand Sima, there were 80,000 people in the entire army, and more than 300 people fell behind during the march, losing more than 100 war horses. The rest of the horses were all fine. The report from the military officer yesterday said that there were more than 30,000 stones of food and more than 100,000 stones of food in the military, and more than 100,000 stones. Our army's military and civilians are continuing to carry it."
This battle was not like a desperate attempt to attack Yang'anguan. Moreover, Guan Yi's team's logistics support capabilities were significantly improved at this time. Therefore, along the way, Ji Hanjun's overall situation was still good.
"Grand Sima! The scout in front is back! It brings good news."
"Oh? Bring him to see me."
"...So, for some reason, the Taiyuan King of Jin thieves took away most of the main forces in Jinyang City. Now there are only five thousand defenders in Jinyang City!"
"...Hahahaha~~~ God helps me! Sima Yan is really my good friend! He sent an order to send a vanguard troops to implement information cover. When he encountered villages along the way, he would definitely control the local villagers. The rear army caught up as soon as possible within two days, and then the entire army rested for a day. Three days later, the entire army attacked Jinyang City."
"Brother?"
"Hmm? Is there anything I need to add to Guowei?"
"We just rushed out of the mountains to attack the city?"
"What do you think should be done?"
"Why shouldn't this be like the way that Yang'an Pass was attacked?"
"Hahaha, this is one time and another. In the past, when we were in Yang'an Pass, if we hadn't done any risk, our army would not have escaped the entire army's annihilation, but if you failed to cheat, we would have been done. In today's situation, our army's military strength is more than ten times that of the enemy's defenders. Why do I do those things? The whole army was dispatched, four gates attacked together, and took it down in one go!"
"Brother is right. My meaning is that Luliang Mountain has inconvenient transportation and the supply of our army's military food has always been not smooth. Therefore, whether the stored grain in Jinyang City can be preserved will have a great impact on our army's next battle. So, my meaning is whether I can ask my brother to lead a small group of troops and first mix into the city as a civilian. At that time, my elder brother will attack the city outside, and I will snatch the grain warehouse first."
"Well! Guowei reminds me that I think it's bad. In this way, I will give you a thousand people first. Please help me dress up the Xiongnu guide in the team. Within three days, I will enter Jinyang City in batches and lurk. I promise that once the city is attacked, it will take only one or two hours to fight alone, and I will not let my brother fight alone for too long."
"Hahaha, don't worry, brother, I will live up to my entrustedness."
On the other side, Jinyang City.
For a long period of history, this place was called Taiyuan County, but there was no Taiyuan County. Some were just Jinyang County. This county town was the county seat of Taiyuan County.
Now, the city is controlled by Sima Yong, the prince of Sima Gui, the king of Taiyuan, Jin State.
In the historical plane, this person was originally the King of Taiyuan and later was later transferred to King of Hejian. He was a king who inherited the past and advanced the future in the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty. He "made significant contributions" to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Five Barbarians entering the Central Plains.
In short, this person has talent, ability and other things - otherwise he would not have done so many things. However, as a politician, his will is not firm enough and his position is always swaying. During the Eight Kings Rebellion, he betrayed his allies and was eventually betrayed by his allies.
However, this person is still very young and is in a period of enterprising spirit. After Sima Gui led the main force to leave Jinyang City, he has patrolled the city for more than a month and has done some defenses very solidly.
However, in the face of absolute strength gap, these are of no use.
On the morning of the eighth day of October 272 AD, the hour of the lunar calendar.
It was late autumn and the time of daylight was significantly shortened. Although the sky was already bright, the sun had not yet fully risen. In the blurry field of view, the defenders of Jinyang City yawned and opened the city gate in a daze.
Yes, Jinyang is the rear. Although the Han-Jin War has begun, the people and officials here do not feel the tension of fighting. How did they live before and now? Not to mention the problem that the nobles in the city do not drink well water, and the servants of various prefectures cannot go out to get water without opening the city gate. Jinyang is a big city. There are many hotels in the city, and meat and fresh vegetables cannot be transported in outside the city. These hotels cannot be opened at noon!
The head of the army in charge of the south gate of Jinyang City was a middle-aged man named Niu Er. In his early years, this man also worked as a warrior under Sima Wang's command. Later, when he was old, he was arranged to be in the rear place to support himself. Now, he has about twenty soldiers in his hands, and his daily job is to open the door and close the door and check taxes.
On that day, shortly after they opened the city gate, Niu Er suddenly stopped moving and raised his ears.
"Brother Niu, what's wrong?"
"Shhh~~ Have you heard anything?"
"What sound? Well? Why is the ground vibrating?"
"This is a large army approaching quickly!" After all, Niu Er judged this, he did not think about whether the approaching army was a friendly army, but quickly shouted: "The first army blocks the people entering the city, the second army, closes the city gate! The third army, quickly climb the city to look out!"
Unfortunately, Niu Er was a veteran who had passed by the battlefield, but the soldiers under him had never been to the battlefield. When Jaran heard that the commander, who was known for his good temper, gave so many orders in a row, he was stunned.
"Bastard! Maybe it's the enemy is coming, why are you just being stunned here?" Niu Er cursed, but his movements were not slow. He stretched out his left hand, grabbed the bull head held by a villager beside him, and pulled the Manniu who was pulling the cart with force. The Manniu's nose was pulled by gravity. After making a very painful roar, he turned along Niu Er's hand. The cart behind it also changed from vertical to horizontal, and suddenly blocked the city gate.
"Everyone retreated to the car and entered the city! Close the door!"
"What a long, the people outside?"
"I can't control it anymore! Hurry up, close the door!"
There was no need to urge me. Just as Niu Er and his team flashed into the city gate, countless flags appeared on the horizon. The colors of the flag were not the white-backed golden flag they were familiar with. But it was a fiery red!
"Hey! What a pity!" Seeing the opponent's city gate slowly closing, this team of Han generals, Ju Ning, patted his head in annoyance: "The whole army is set, and the ant will rush to the city!"
"General, there are many people at the gate of that city."
"Stupid! Isn't it better if you don't attack the city gate and climb the wall directly? You have it all, avoid the people and try your best not to hurt by accident!"
It can be said that because it is for the purpose of conquering and ruling this land, Ji Han's march this time, just like Cao Wei's attack on Shu Han in the past, they all emphasized military discipline. Of course, no matter how much Sima Guan Da was a time traveler or how much he emphasized the military and civilian family, he could not avoid the existence of military and gangsters in his own troops. Therefore, the specific implementation must be constantly emphasized by the chief officials at all levels.
Under Ju Ning's order, nearly 20,000 Han troops along the way quickly formed a straight line almost parallel to the city wall in front, and then began to run towards the city wall in unison - no matter what team is in depth or what continuous attack is. I'm just doing this hammer!
This crude and unreasonable and technical method of siege hit the weak point of Jinyang City: there were only 5,000 defenders, and they could not cover such a long four sections of the city wall.
What's more, not every city gate has experienced veterans like Niu Er who sit in and quickly make the most correct judgment.
On the Yin hour that night, the Han army had actually arrived at the city of Jinyang. However, in order to detour through several other gates for deployment, Guan Yi set Chen Shi as the time to attack the city. When the time came, the four gates attacked at the same time, and Jinyang was instantly broken!
