Chapter Three and Five: Divide up and kill the enemy
() The majority of soldiers are civilians. They join the army in order to live a life without worrying about their lives. When the tragic scenes are shown in front of them, after the shock, they can only have overwhelming fighting spirit and compare their hearts. When these
The tragedy is what would happen to their relatives.
"General, there is a group of Xianbei people plundering the village ahead." The scout bowed and worshiped at the mashang.
"Explore further, pay attention to the traces of the Xianbei army in the surrounding area." "Novel chapter." Jia Rong always believes that scouts are the foundation of an army. With scouts, the army becomes blind on the battlefield and cannot see the surrounding situation.
change.
Jia Rong reined in his horse and made a stop gesture. The 30,000-strong army slowly stopped. There were 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry in the team. The marching speed was greatly slowed down.
"First of all, please gather all our troops and follow me." Jia Rong's tone left no room for doubt.
"promise!"
Jia Rong took the lead, followed by 500 cavalry. The army continued to march slowly. The 500 men in Lu Bu's headquarters were only inferior in weapons compared to the Blood Guards. This problem has always been Lu Bu's heartache.
Zhao Yun was worried about Jia Rong's safety, but Meiyou said something to dissuade him. He was furious. Born as a commoner, he couldn't stand the bully of the squire and bullied the people, so he went to the mountain to learn from his teacher. There was chaos in the border area, and he led the people from his hometown to join Gongsun Zan.
The white horse Yi Cong.
The team continued to march, and apart from the occasional neighing of horses and the trampling of soldiers' footsteps, there was no other noise from the tens of thousands of troops.
The scimitars showed a bit of coldness under the sunlight. The five hundred cavalry behind them all raised their scimitars high, slapped their horses' backs, and killed the unsuspecting Xianbei people in the village.
The Xianbei cavalry had not yet realized when such a Han cavalry team appeared. In the astonished eyes of a soldier, Jia Rong's scimitar split it into two pieces. He closed the sword and slashed it down again. Another cavalryman was killed.
The beheading was done in one go without any fancy tricks. It relied on its own strength and superb equestrian skills. Even the Xianbei people found it difficult to control their bodies flexibly in battle, but the Han cavalry in front of them seemed to have everyone.
can reach this point.
The Xianbei people who reacted immediately went into chaos. At this time, Lingzhou was completely under the control of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people who were plundering also lost their original consciousness. The Han armies they encountered before were all defeated at the first touch, which made it even more frustrating.
The Xianbei people began to look down upon him.
"Anyone who offends our Han people will be punished no matter how far away!" turan, the commander of the Xianbei cavalry, had these words in his mind. He couldn't get rid of them. Thinking of the old patriarch's teachings, the commander quietly put away his disapproval at first. Han people are not names.
Easy to bully.
"Kill!" Jia Rong roared angrily, pointing the scimitar in his hand at the Xianbei people.
I have to say that the quality of the Xianbei cavalry is indeed very high. Faced with an enemy turan attack that was twice the size of Ziji, the soldiers only showed initial panic. Under the command of the commander, they got on their horses and started fighting. They have grown up on horseback since childhood.
You are big, you have withstood the harsh environment, you have suffered a lot of hardships, and you can deal with such a turan attack with ease, so that the enemy's attack will not be overwhelming. Shihou is sleeping with his weapon in his arms, ensuring
With war horses around, similar situations will happen in tribes on the grassland. Wars and annexations between tribes occur all the time.
Watching the Xianbei people organize an attack, Jia Rong had a look of ridicule on his face. In front of the powerful Xiliang army, such resistance was powerless. The Xianbei people were king and hegemony in front of the Huns and the Jie people, and they were arrogant because they had never encountered anything.
When it comes to the Xiliang army, the real Xiliang army is elite. When they charge, they can completely defeat this group of Xianbei cavalry who have just started to mount their horses.
From this moment on, Jia Rong will use iron-blooded means to tell these hungry wolves from the grassland and desert, let them see who is the real tiger.
What Xianbei Commander Meiyou expected was that the Xianbei cavalry, which had always regarded themselves as warriors, was retreating steadily under the offensive of the Han cavalry. No, it should be described as devastating. The unique weapons in the hands of the Han cavalry could be used every time they waved.
Taking away the life of a Xianbei warrior, the Han cavalry seemed tireless and quickly put away their swords and handed them out again. The weapons in the hands of these cavalrymen were something that the well-informed captain had never encountered before.
What shocked him even more was that there was a Han cavalryman holding a long halberd. None of the cavalrymen of his own who fought with him could match him. He rode his horse across the battlefield, which was not very wide, and was invincible.
Half an hour later, the battle came to an end. Most of the two hundred Xianbei cavalry were killed or wounded. The captain was captured by Lu Bu. The remaining cavalry fled. Under the offensive of the Xiliang army, deserters appeared among the indomitable Xianbei people.
After the Xiliang army cleaned up the battlefield, they sent out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation. The remaining soldiers rested where they were, waiting for the arrival of the army.
After casually wiping the blood on his face, Jia Rong ordered the soldiers to bring the Xianbei commander up. When the war began, Jia Rong noticed this Xianbei man who was dressed up differently from ordinary soldiers. The main reason was that the clothes on this guy were more tattered than in tatters.
Bad Xianbei soldiers are better.
"Ask him, if he holds the position of shime in Xianbei, how many Xianbei people are there around him?"
Jia Rong made full preparations for the battle with the Xianbei people, and there were naturally no shortage of people who were proficient in the Xianbei language.
After a murmured conversation, the soldier walked up to Jia Rong with a guilty look and said, "General, I only know that this man is the captain of thousands of Xianbei. No matter how I ask about the rest of his humble position, he won't tell me."
Jia Rong said with a cold expression: "Tell him that the people of the Han Dynasty will not die innocently, and all the Xianbei people who enter the Han territory will die!"
The atmosphere was eerily quiet, meiyou should have felt joy after a great victory, Jia Rong's words were categorical, and meiyou had no room for negotiation. Thinking of the tragic death of the Han people and the plundered village in front of him, everyone looked at the direction of the matter.
The gazes of the Xianbei prisoners made these prisoners shudder.
When the soldiers translated the words to the Xianbei commander, the always unruly Xianbei people cursed loudly and looked at Jia Rong quietly with pale faces.
"Except for this captain, all the captured Xianbei cavalry were killed." He gritted his teeth as he looked at the traces of fire in the village in front of him and some of the dead Han people.
As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, more than thirty heads sprayed hot blood. After a moment of twitching, the headless body lay quietly in a pool of blood.
After the village was plundered by the Xianbei people, there were only a dozen or so sobbing women who survived. Seeing the victory of the Han soldiers, the women cried and threw themselves at the corpses in the village.
The scene in front of him made Jia Rong couldn't help but think of Lijiacun, a village with simple folk customs and honest people.
The Xianbei people's misbehavior in the Han Dynasty greatly aroused Jia Rong's nerves. At this moment, Jia Rong made up his mind to make the Xianbei people roll back to the grassland in disgrace. As for the injustice done in the Han Dynasty, it will definitely happen in the future.
Will repay it twice as much.
If you want to completely defeat the Xianbei people, the 30,000 Xiliang army must have a stable rear. The Xianbei people pay attention to quick battles. Each cavalryman can gallop around the Han territory with enough rations for ten days to fight.
To support the war, the Xiliang army does not have this condition.
When fighting in the local area, we must not only consider the reserves of food and grass, but also take care of the people.
The Xiliang Army was stationed in the county town, and Beidi County lost the land of two counties. Fortunately, Beidi County has a strong folk custom, and under the organization of county magistrates from various places to defend the city, the defense of the county town is considered strong.
, there were about two thousand defenders in the city, most of them were Yuan Pang's subordinates in the past. After Yuan Pang escaped, these soldiers scattered and fled for their lives. However, a very prestigious general in the county stood up and gathered the remaining soldiers.
Together.
The news of the arrival of Jia Rong's army spread in the city, providing help in times of need. The people are simple, otherwise tens of thousands of people would not have followed Jia Rong to Jincheng.
The Xiliang Army took over the defense of the city smoothly. Fortunately, there were still defensive equipment in the city. Jia Rong distributed the weapons in the warehouse to Yuan Pangbu's soldiers to assist the Xiliang Army in defending the city. Some people also volunteered to join the Xiliang Army.
In the middle of the war, Jia Rong arranged to carry consumables such as wooden boulders and arrows during the war. He was responsible for patrolling the city on weekdays, "Let the enemy fall into the vast ocean of the people!" This sentence flashed in Jia Rong's mind.
Come.
After coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty for so long, Jia Rongyijing is no longer a rookie in battle. He has to control the movements of the Xianbei people on the battlefield in Beidi County. The Han people's military strength is already weak, but they occupy the favorable location and people.
The cavalry is good at field battles rather than attacking fortresses, and the same is true for the Xianbei people. The defense of the city was handed over to Zhang Wei and Guo Si. Jia Rong led five thousand cavalry to the battlefield. The Xianbei people were plundering the Han territory, and Jia Rong could not sit idly by.
Each cavalryman brought enough rations for ten days.
The presence of 30,000 Han soldiers in Beidi County did not go unnoticed by the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people, who were good at field battles, paid more attention to the news conveyed by the scouts. When Lingzhou City received the news, they did not take it seriously. The reinforcements from the Han people were completely expected.
The people who attacked Beidi County were the Murong clan in the center and Queju in the west. The Xianbei Khan and his company died in mysterious circumstances after attacking Beidi County. Beidi County naturally became the difang to bear the wrath of the Xianbei people. Queju had been in Peking.
After suffering a loss at the hands of Jia Rong, his general Tu Yan was killed, which greatly damaged his reputation in the tribe. He did not dare to attack Yanmen Pass and Peiping. Que Ju chose Beidi County, a soft persimmon, and did not expect to fight with Jia Rong again.
The bizarre encounter must be said to be a kind of fate.
The troops attacking the Yanmen Pass area were Queji from the east, and the eastern part of Xianbei is currently the most powerful force in Xianbei.
The Xianbei people carried forward their past habits. After entering the Han Dynasty, they divided their troops to plunder. They learned from the defeat in Youzhou last time. Each Xianbei people's plundering cavalry had 500 people. They sent scouts to communicate with each other to lead the way.
As long as the Han cavalry appears, the surrounding Xianbei cavalry will provide support in the first place.
