Along the Luoshui River Valley in the northeast of Yiyang Jiuqu City are a series of forts such as Yang Zhishu and Baijia Shu. During the Hou Jing Rebellion in the old years, Jiuqu City was occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty. In order to protect the security of Heluo and resist the invasion, Jiuqu City was occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty.
The Wei army that broke out from Nanxiao Road and the Western Henan rebel army that were active in Guannan, Xin'an and other places. Hu Lujin, who was in charge of the Heluo military at that time, built this series of forts in Yiyang.
After the Battle of Mangshan, the Wei army retreated to Jiuqu City, and another major defeat occurred. Therefore, the Northern Qi army took advantage of the situation and took Jiuqu City and handed it over to Sima Dugu Yongye of Luozhou for garrison.
After the acquisition of the important fortress of Jiuqu City, the importance of this series of forts was naturally greatly reduced. As the army continued to pursue the Wei army westward, in order to ensure that there were enough men and horses stationed in Jiuqu City, Dugu Yongye used these forts to
All the garrison sergeants gathered in Jiuqu City.
Therefore, when Wei Jun Gao Le came to blockade the Luoshui River Valley under the order of King Taiyuan, he naturally entered these forts. Dugu Yongye did not know the strength of the enemy, so he did not attack immediately for the sake of safety.
Gao Le also seized this free period and built many sand embankments along the Luoshui River valley according to the method taught by the Taiyuan King's envoy.
Of course, some parts of the Luoshui River Valley are as wide as more than ten miles, and the river itself has been frozen. It is difficult to completely block it with sand embankments, but if they are staggered and stacked, they can also give the enemy
The advance of most of the army caused great trouble.
After that, Gao Le's troops relied on these sand embankments to defend the Luoshui River Valley. During this period, the enemy launched several attacks to destroy these sand embankments, but they were all repelled because they were not too large in scale.
However, as time passed, especially after it was confirmed that Jinyong City had been besieged by Li Boshan's army, Jiuqu City's intensity of fighting increased, and the fighting intensity of both sides also increased day by day.
Although Gao Le's troops were guest troops from afar, they had established an effective defense line in time, coupled with the cooperation of many barbarian troops here, and the Western Wei troops who had previously fled Yiyang and fled to the mountains of Guannan.
After that, they joined in one after another, and their own strength increased greatly, so they relied on these defenses to fight against the Qi army.
This situation changed when Duan Shao led the main force back to Jiuqu City. Duan Shao did not travel day and night like Hu Luguang did. In order to make it easier to attack Hongnong and even Tongguan later, many enemy troops set up along the way.
The fortresses used for supply and garrison were also sent to attack and destroy separately, so they arrived at Jiuqu City a little later.
Due to the orderly arrangement of the itinerary, Duan Shao's men and horses also got sufficient rest during the march. After arriving at Jiuqu City, they were still strong and not exhausted from the long-distance battle. And the physical strength of the soldiers was greatly affected.
Maintenance and use are also the basic abilities that a general should have. Of course, Hu Luguang does not understand this principle, but it is just that he cares about it and fails to keep his troops in the best condition.
When he returned to Jiuqu City and saw the tight and solid defense line deployed by the enemy, Duan Shao's heart sank. Whether the back road was clear or not was not only related to whether he could rescue Jin Yong City in time, but also whether his entire army could survive.
To successfully withdraw from the country, there is no room for error.
So even if he arranged for his soldiers to attack the enemy's position, there was no major breakthrough in several battles. After experiencing the strength of these sand embankment obstacles, Duan Shao also realized that it would be difficult to destroy the enemy's defense line overnight, so he
He formulated a strategy to tire out the enemy. Relying on his own strength, which was far superior to the opponent's, he divided his troops into more than a dozen teams, and took turns to launch fierce attacks on the enemy's positions day and night.
This kind of tactics quickly took effect. No matter how tenacious the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty were in fighting, they were only flesh and blood. Moreover, as the defensive side in such a high-intensity offensive and defensive battle, they themselves needed to invest more energy.
The combat power is prepared to meet the changes, so the consumption of manpower becomes more serious.
The armies of the Northern Qi Dynasty can take turns to attack. After fighting for a while, they will retire and be replaced by another team. When it is their turn again, they have already rested for more than ten hours. Naturally, the troops and horses are full of energy and can fight without fatigue.
.
So under the command of Duan Shao, the tug-of-war between the two sides suddenly turned into a situation where the Qi army was advancing steadily and the Wei army was retreating. The Wei army, which was on the weaker side, could only fight and retreat.
The massive consumption of energy made it difficult for them to stick to a certain front line and fight to the death.
Under such tactics, in just a few days, the Northern Qi army advanced for more than several miles, breaking through the enemy's sand embankment defense line layer by layer, and the garrison troops hidden behind the sand embankment
The forts were also destroyed one by one. Thanks to the hard work of the Wei army and the easy access to water and sand along the Luoshui River, enough sand embankments were built to prevent the front from completely collapsing, but it was already in danger.
"Is it possible that we are facing Pi Lang? In the past, Emperor Taizu greatly appreciated Pi Lang, but Pi Lang was trapped among thieves and was being used by them. Today's battle is weak, so why not kill the thieves to surrender?"
To the south of the battle line, there was a Qi military governor who was commanding his soldiers to launch a non-stop attack on the opponent, while at the same time shouting to the enemy general on the opposite side who was struggling to persuade him to surrender. His expression was quite funny, and he looked like he was sure of victory. Obviously,
There isn't much sincerity either.
Pi Jinghe's hand had been cut with many cuts of various sizes by the bowstring, but facing the oncoming soldiers, he still struggled to control the string to resist. Naturally, he was not in the mood to pay attention to the generals' teasing, and just encouraged him loudly.
He called to the surrounding soldiers: "Hold on, hold on a little longer! Your Majesty will lead his army to help soon, and we will definitely be able to defeat the bandit army!"
The rest of the soldiers were also fighting with gritted teeth. They had been resisting day and night for days and nights. Many soldiers' eyes were almost bloodshot, and they looked like blood-stained eyes at a glance. They were maintaining it entirely with their strong will.
However, no matter how strong your will is, you can't defeat reality. With a series of crashing sounds, the sand embankment defense line here was dug through by the enemy and pushed down. Immediately, the enemy soldiers swarmed up and charged towards the enemy formation that was completely uncovered in front.
Many soldiers were unable to retreat and were directly killed on the battlefield.
Several soldiers in the rear had just withdrawn and had not finished their meal. After seeing this, they hurriedly put down their food to eat, and once again rushed forward to rescue with guns in hand. However, even if they joined, they would not stop the retreat of the front, and they could only fight and retreat.
Retracting behind another sand embankment, this fairly solid sand embankment intercepted the enemy and took a breather.
In the evening, the hundreds of garrison buildings next to Luoshui were surrounded by Qi troops. As long as this garrison was captured again, the few sand embankments with no support in the back road would no longer be a solid obstacle, and the army could go straight to Baiting.
.
Therefore, the whole Qi army was very excited. Duan Shao even came to the fort in person to supervise the battle. He put in several troops at once, preparing to capture the fort in front of him and then return to the camp for a meal.
When things have developed to this point, if nothing unexpected happens, then something will definitely happen. While the Qi army was still struggling to attack the city, there were galloping horses coming from the side of the battlefield, and they sounded the sound of a powerful enemy in the distance.
The incoming horn.
After hearing the sound of the horn, Duan Shao couldn't help but feel depressed. He immediately led a group of elite cavalry to cruise north and wait and see. When he rounded an unguarded sand embankment, he saw a banner hunting in the north and heading south.
Coming, the sound of galloping horse hooves made the snow on the ground tremble.
"No, could it be that Jin Yong City has been lost?"
Duan Shao's expression suddenly changed when he saw the formation of men and horses. He hurriedly rode his horse back to the front of the Baijia garrison. While the men and horses were still not in panic, he immediately ordered his troops to retreat and lined up on the side of the Baijia garrison.
Soon the army coming from the south appeared in sight. The first thing that caught his eye was the marching banner and the ceremonial guard of King Taiyuan of Wei State. When he saw the face of one of the knights in the queue, Duan Shao's expression changed again.
Shen, that sullen young man is clearly Zhaojun Wang Gao Rui!
Seeing this scene, Duan Shao no longer had any luck in his heart. He waved his hand and ordered his troops to retreat slowly. He retreated to the temporary camp before the enemy troops arrived, and ordered his troops to dig ice and collect water according to the Wei army's method.
He built sand embankments to strengthen the camp's defenses. He didn't know how the battle was going in the north, so he didn't dare to fight for the time being.
As the army led by Li Tai arrived and forced the Qi army back, the soldiers who had retreated to hundreds of garrisons also cheered and came out to greet him. Several generals who were injured and wounded also came forward with the support of the sergeants and paid homage to Li Tai.
Said: "Fortunately, I have not failed to live up to the king's order!"
Li Tai looked at the haggard soldiers and knew that they were suffering a lot during this period. He got off his horse and walked forward to help the generals up one by one. He patted their shoulders and said with a smile: "You have worked hard to resist the enemy.
I was able to kill the enemy smoothly in the north, and the enemy army was defeated. This is another achievement that shocked China!"
After hearing this, all the soldiers were very proud. Although the previous battle was very hard, the taste of victory was particularly sweet. Although there are still South Route bandits that have not yet been defeated, the King of Taiyuan has led his troops to fight here.
It is only a matter of time to defeat the bandit army in front of us, and all the soldiers are full of confidence in this!
