At a time when there was chaos and uncertainty in the Great Han Pass, Fei Qian, as the anchor of the Bingbei territory, finally hurriedly arrived at the Yinshan battlefield.
The protagonists of this drama have finally arrived.
The opera singers have arrived, but it is also a test for Fei Qian to sing the opera well.
If you sing well, there will naturally be no problem eating the pig's trotters and noodles, but if you sing poorly, there will probably be a large group of people yelling at you, saying that the bowl of porridge is full of water...
Speaking of water, it is the source of life. How can people lack water?
Well, forget it, let’s talk about this issue later...
Regarding Jia Xu's previous overall plan, it is now roughly half completed, and the other half still needs to be done, and there are still two key nodes. One is naturally the Yinshan Camp, and the other is the Dry Bones Mountain Road on the Zhang Liao side.
.
Now Fei Qian led a large force to the Yinshan Mountains. Although he solved some of the Hu Qi and rescued Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, um, Zhang Xiu, um, I don’t know if he has any brother-in-law relationship with Zhao Yun. Bai Niao Chao
Who is weaker, the Phoenix Spear Technique, or the Seven Detective Coiled Snake Spear?
Forget it, we’ll discuss this issue later…
Since the army is now in Yinshan, Zhang Liao's side is equivalent to a light cavalry charge. Although Zhen Lin and Xihe Cui have prepared some food, grass and equipment to transport there, after all, the number of Zhang Liao's men is still limited. Can they be firmly stuck?
Staying here until the battle here in Yinshan is over is also a problem.
Fei Qian was dressed in military uniform, sitting on a bench, looking up at the battle flags flying above his head...
A three-color army identification flag represents one's own unit. Basically all one's own units will have such a flag to express affiliation.
A surname flag.
A flag of military rank and official position is the big banner with the four words "General of the Conquest of the West" written on it.
Anyway, Fei Qian now feels that he doesn’t have to worry about getting tanned any more and is heading in the direction of Pang Shiyuan. With so many flags flying, although there may be some problems in blocking the wind and rain, blocking the sun is really not a big problem...
Of course, there is also a Zhongjun command flag of "Commander of the Three Armies" next to it. Originally, Fei Qian was a Sima of another department. Although he later became a Zhonglang General, he still used the "Commander of the Three Armies" flag. Now he has been upgraded to a General of Zhengxi.
Finally it was changed to "Commander of the Three Services".
Although it is only a one-word difference, it means that he has transformed from an ordinary general to a commander-level general...
And such an identity means that the burden on his shoulders is even heavier.
Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi's decision to kill or not to kill was not decided by their own temporary preferences, nor was it randomly thrown at five baht or something to make a choice for them, but rather based on the overall situation of the battlefield and a comprehensive consideration.
What are the advantages and disadvantages to oneself by killing?
If we don’t kill him, what further utilization space is there?
How can being a commander-in-chief be that simple?
A message has been sent quickly from the Withered Bone Crossing, and they have encountered the Xianbei vanguard. Although they have been defeated by Zhang Liao, it also means that there must be a large number of Xianbei troops behind them. Besides, normally, the vanguard of an army cannot
It would be more than one-fifth of the main force, which means that Zhang Liao still has to resist the impact of at least four times the force of the Xianbei vanguard!
If Zhang Liao's side were all heavily armed infantry, or if there were solid city defenses, Fei Qian wouldn't be too worried. However, now Zhang Liao only has less than a thousand men and horses, and because it is a mountain road, the cavalry cannot deploy at all.
They can be used as infantry, and half of them are Qiang cavalry. Although they followed Zhang Liao around Guanzhong like the wind before, but when it comes to a critical moment, it is the time when humanity is most tested...
On the other hand, on the Dry Bones Mountain Road, although Xianbei had damaged the vanguard, the main force was still intact and could attack Zhang Liao at any time. Of course, it was also possible that they would retreat, but Fei Qian also knew in his heart that this possibility was slim.
Just like Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi, before Fei Qian himself showed his prestige and gained a strong position, these barbarians all felt that they were capable and wanted to take advantage of them. Before they were sure that Fei Qian was in trouble, they would
Before you are injured all over your body, you will not automatically choose the compromise route...
Therefore, there must be a tough battle on the Dry Bones Mountain Road!
What determines Zhang Liao's life or death is the speed with which he resolves the battle here in Yinshan.
After a big battle here in Yinshan, it has become half-destroyed.
Along the way, many of the settlements that originally housed the refugees were destroyed, and those that had not been attacked by the barbarians fled away out of fear, leaving many of them abandoned. The further north you go, the closer you get to the Yinshan Mountains, the more serious the situation becomes.
.On the wilderness, among the grass, there are many corpses. Those rotten dogs whose eyes are red from eating. When they see the army coming, they run far away and then turn around and bark, as if they are provoking or threatening.
curse.
Zhang Ji and the others finally waited for his arrival. It can be said that he has lived up to their expectations and made every decision. However, it is still unclear how long Xu Huang and Jia Xu can last.
The main thing is morale.
The city defense of Yinshan Yingzhai is not a big problem, because the walls of Yinshan Yingzhai are the same as those of Zhenlin Daying. They are irrigated by the slag soil method and connected internally with iron wires, so they are quite stable in terms of stability.
Of course, it is better than Sanhe soil. Compared with Wuhe soil or even Qihe soil, it is slightly lacking. The main reason is that it is not tough enough and is easily broken by strong blows. However, Wuhe soil and Qihe soil have complex internal changes in the soil.
, causing the soil to form a whole, even with a heavy hammer, it is just a small hole.
Pingyang Factory has a large amount of slag left over from iron-making, which can be used as waste. First, lime and clay are ground together, calcined at high temperature, and then mixed with the slag powder. It has a certain degree of hydraulic hardness, although it is not the same as the regular cement of later generations.
It is incomparable, but in this era, it is already a very convenient building material.
After the development of hydraulic hammer and hydraulic wire drawing, it is easier to obtain thick and shallow iron wire than before, but there is still a long way to go to evolve to the steel wire level.
Therefore, the strength of the camp can still be guaranteed to a certain extent, but the personnel in the camp must be controlled by Xu Huang and Jia Xu. Once they lose confidence, they may also behave irrationally.
Therefore, no matter what, he must arrive at Yinshan as soon as possible to give Xu Huang and Jia Xu more intuitive support, but...
Fighting between the same soldiers is the most brutal.
Although in terms of equipment, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others were superior to the Huns, but after such a battle, although they won the final victory, the battle losses were still very high.
Looking at the injured horses and soldiers on the side, although Zhang Yun, the medical team accompanying the army, was brought along this time, it was not like these people could jump around immediately after applying a few rounds of bandages. They just wanted to reduce unnecessary injuries as much as possible.
Just damage after the war...
The surrounding bloodstains, the bodies of dead people or horses on the ground, the broken limbs and broken weapons everywhere made the entire battlefield look extremely desolate.
Xun Chen came over, cupped his hands, and said, "The Lord is here, but for..."
As he spoke, Xun Chen leaned slightly toward Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi, and then continued: "...Any other plans?"
"Hmm... Youruo, do you think it's better to kill or not to kill?" Fei Qian did not answer, but asked.
Xun Chen smiled slightly and said: "If you have already made arrangements, why bother asking someone? If you want someone to tell you, haste makes waste, wait until tomorrow... maybe it will be better..."
Fei Qian nodded, smiled, and said: "Then let's write a letter, I'm sorry to bother you..."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Xun Chen cupped his hands and said.
"By the way, Zilong is coming soon, right?" Fei Qian asked again.
Xun Chen nodded and said: "Calculating the time, it's almost time. Soldiers have been arranged along the way to provide replacement horses... However, the princes command the cavalry, and they are also in command, and they are well-organized..."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "This is only half a bucket of water... If this plan fails, the cavalry charge will be inevitable, and Zilong will still need to be in charge..."
"...But before that, we have to make preparations..." Fei Qian continued, "Youruo, I discovered something quite interesting in Pingyang Workshop some time ago. Do you want to take a look at it together?"
…………………………
Looking at the dots of fire above the Yinshan camp in the distance, Tuoba Guo stood quietly in the darkness. For some reason, he felt an unbearable feeling in his heart.
If King Bu Dugen of Xianbei asked Tuoba Guoluo to command the army to attack Yinshan Mountain, it has shown that Bu Dugen attaches great importance to the current Bingbei Han people, but now Tuoba Guoluo feels that King Bu Dugen
This level of attention is still far from enough!
After several days of fighting, it must be said that the men under his command have exhausted their strength and even suffered a lot of losses as a result. The Krikhen tribe plus the Xiongnu surrender troops, more than 3,000 men and horses, took turns to attack during the day.
Attacking at night, they drove people to fill ditches, used ants to attack moths, and even attacked the top of the camp wall for a time. However, the Yinshan camp, which seemed to be crumbling, actually persisted like this for two or three days before using the ballistae on the cliff.
…
To Tuoba Guoluo, this was full of danger.
Outside the Yinshan camp, the newly captured Han people were being whipped by their own soldiers and working tirelessly to build mounds of earth. They were not far from the city head, but Tuoba Guoluo also knew that this mound was not like a wooden pile.
The ladder went straight up, with the same thickness as the top and bottom until the top of the city. The higher it went, the more soil was needed. I saw that it was almost there, but after a day of piles, there was still so much difference. It seemed that the top of the mound had slipped.
More soil goes down than goes up.
"What kind of people are the Han people? The cowardly ones are worse than pigs and dogs, but the strong ones... Is choosing such an opponent a good thing or a bad thing?"
As a commander-in-chief, he naturally thinks more and further than the average Xianbei warrior.
But even though Tuoba Guoluo is feeling a little emotional now, and even has a little respect for the bravery and tenacity of these Han people in his heart, Tuoba Guoluo has no intention of giving up at all.
Now that we have sent troops, we must achieve corresponding results.
In Tuoba Guoluo's mind, it is understandable that the Han people are good at defending the city. This is the case originally. But when it comes to galloping horses and cavalry duels on the plains, Xianbei's sons still have the upper hand. Otherwise, these Han people will also have the upper hand.
He won't cower in the camp and suffer beatings.
Tuoba Guo turned his head and looked at the mountains on both sides of the Yinshan camp, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Although the sky was dark, the firelight on the Yinshan camp and the starlight in the sky vaguely illuminated the outline of the mountain. These mountain peaks have sharp cliffs, going straight up and down. If the heights were not so different and there were not such long ropes, Tuoba would
Guo Luo even tried to feint a frontal attack, and then sent some warriors to drop ropes from the top of the mountain to the camp...
Making ropes temporarily has no materials and takes too much effort.
Yinshan Yingzhai is like a piece of iron stuck to the wall of Yinshan Mountain. It cannot be pried or broken with a hammer. It sticks to the diaphragm, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable.
He led more than 7,000 troops to attack here, but he lost thousands of them here!
Although it was said that most of the losses were caused by Nakrizhen and those who surrendered to the Huns, Tuoba Guoluo was not very distressed, but it was beyond his original expectation and was really too much.
There is still a battle to be fought, and there will inevitably be losses.
So if it is really defeated, if there is too much damage, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Now these Xianbei troops who are the most reliable and whom Tuoba Guoluo also trusts the most are his own direct subordinates and the tribesmen of Tuyuhun. Although it is said that they did not suffer too much losses before, but...
Han reinforcements are coming soon.
According to Nakli Zhen, those two Xiongnu idiots fell into the ambush of the Han army and were surrounded by the Han army. After several attacks, they were unable to open the gap. I am afraid they are already in danger...
The Huns surrendered their troops and died. Although I felt a little regretful, it was just a pity. However, when the Han army came over, my own people and Tuyuhun's tribe had to join the battle.
Tuoba Guoluo knew that although his people were brave, they were not tough men, and if these Han people were fighting each other, the casualties would be beyond his control.
If I could have five thousand or three thousand men, I wouldn't feel a little stretched now...
In the dark of night, suddenly there was a loud noise from far away from the camp behind. In the dark of night, the sound spread far away, and even the Han soldiers on top of the Yinshan camp were alerted. The fire was dazzling, and people could be faintly seen above.
The shadow swayed and looked in that direction.
Tuoba Guoluo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Go and see what's going on! Noise is strictly prohibited in the army at night! Let those idiots who make noise without authorization get their own whips!"
Tuoba Guoluo's personal guards took the order and quickly led a few people to the front.
Tuoba Guoluo immediately stepped forward, looking at the movement ahead with some annoyance, because his personal guards had obviously passed by for a while, but the noise in the camp not only did not stop, but even got louder!
Just when Tuoba Guoluo couldn't hold back anymore and was about to step forward to see what happened in person, he saw his own bodyguard coming back.
The guards' expressions looked a little strange under the light of the torch beside Tuoba Guoluo.
"Xiao Wang...it was the night patrol that brought the news..." the guard said, "our night patrol met...those...those Hun soldiers...said they saw the Hun soldiers coming back...those
The Xiongnu soldiers reported back that they were afraid that the night march would accidentally hit the army and they did not dare to approach without authorization, so they set up camp ten miles away from our camp..."
"What?" Tuoba Guoluo didn't know whether he should be happy or surprised, "Those Huns soldiers are back?"
