One month later, the army led by Huangfu Song arrived. For a time, more than 100,000 troops gathered in Beidi County, which was not inferior to the rebellious Qiang people.
Jia Rong was walking in the city of Beidi County. Looking at the mighty army in the city, he couldn't help but feel excited. If he had a large army at his disposal, he would not be able to go anywhere in the world. Even if he could dominate the world, it would be so difficult.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song became a new generation of famous generals in the Han Dynasty. All the soldiers in the army respected and admired him. They thought that serving under Huangfu Song was their greatest blessing, so the morale in the army was also quite high.
.
Forty thousand of the 100,000 people in the Qiang army are cavalry, and they have relatively strong agitation ability, and the Qiang people are tall and tall. Although the Han army has more troops, its overall strength is still inferior to the Qiang people.
Although Li Wenhou believed that he was stronger, he did not dare to look down upon Huangfu Song, a famous general of the Han Dynasty who had just put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He led his army to retreat within three counties and ordered not to fight, but to hold on to the city and wait for the Han army to run out of food and retreat.
, Marquis Li Wen believed that it would be difficult for the Han court to support an army of 100,000 people with food and grass, but his Qiang soldiers would not worry about this. If the supplies were not enough, they could plunder. The Han Dynasty was rich, and the territory of the Han Dynasty was the paradise of these nomadic peoples.
In Beidi County, in the main tent of the Han army, Huangfu Song sat on the commander's seat, glanced at the generals, and said: "Now the Qiang people are raging, invading our prefectures and counties, killing our people, and the emperor is furious; what can the generals do?"
Feel free to come up with any good strategies to defeat the enemy."
Jia Rong felt that Huangfu Song gave him a sense of calmness and authority just sitting there, making people can't help but obey his orders and obey his command.
For a long time, no one answered. When they first arrived, the generals naturally remained silent.
At this time, Huangfu Song saw Jia Rong behind Dong Zhuo and said, "Zhiyuan, tell me what you think."
After hearing Huangfu Song's words, Jia Rong immediately stepped out from behind Dong Zhuo, raised his hands to Huangfu Song and replied: "General Qi, although our army now has more than 100,000 people, there are also 100,000 Qiang people; our army has more infantry, but
The Qiang people have more cavalry, so it seems that our army has the advantage, but in fact it is not the case."
As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, a general under Huangfu Song came out and scolded Jia Rong: "You are not a coward, how dare you disturb the morale of our army with your nonsense. Even if there are 200,000 Qiang people, our army can still defeat them."
Huangfu Song was very dissatisfied with the general's interruption of Jia Rong's analysis and scolded: "Don't be rude. Listen to Zhiyuan."
The general retreated angrily, but still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Today, the Qiang army has all retreated within the three counties. The purpose is to fight a war of attrition with our army. If our army attacks the three counties, it is afraid that the Qiang people will take advantage of it. It is really a dilemma." Jia Rong continued.
Huangfu Song nodded imperceptibly and motioned for Jia Rong to continue.
"So the best strategy for our army is to stand still and defeat the Qiang soldiers in one fell swoop when they change." Jia Rong said slowly.
Recently, Jia Rong has also been reading the heavy ancient writings. Although he didn't recognize some of the characters, he could read them roughly. Besides, he could ask Jia Xu, so Jia Rong didn't mind the trouble and collected some writings to carry with him.
If you have nothing to do, read a little. In ancient times, it was natural to follow the local customs.
Jia Rong's analysis is very reasonable, but he still understands the current situation of the Han Dynasty. The national treasury is empty. Even the food and grass for this army have to be scraped from east to west. Before leaving, the Han Emperor gave many instructions to himself.
We must hurry up and resolve the battle. Today's big man really can't afford to delay it.
Huangfu Song signaled Jia Rong to step back. His expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about something. The tent was extremely quiet, and all the generals focused their attention on Huangfu Song.
After a long time, Huangfusong shook his dizzy head, and his fingers trembled a few times unnoticeably.
Huangfu Song returned to the commander's seat and sat down, looked at the generals, and issued the first military order: "Dong Zhuo."
Dong Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Huangfu Song: "I have a humble position."
"You lead your troops to attack Lingzhou where Marquis Li Wen is located in a few days. We will set off today without any mistakes."
"I humbly accept my order." After receiving such an order, Dong Zhuo's face was obviously not very good-looking. Dong Zhuo, who had been in Xiliang for a long time, naturally understood Li Wenhou.
"Yuan Pang." Huangfu Song issued the second military order.
Yuan Pang stepped forward and bowed: "I have a humble position."
"You lead 20,000 troops to contain the Qiang soldiers and horses in Niyang. We will set off today without any mistakes."
Yuan Pang bowed again and said: "I accept my order from my humble position."
Huangfu Song thought for a moment and said, "I'll send Wentai to help you."
"Thank you, general!" Yuan Pang looked very happy. With the help of such a fierce general as Sun Wentai, he would definitely have a greater chance of winning.
"Of the more than 60,000 remaining sergeants, 30,000 will accompany me to attack Beigong Boyu in Lian County, and 20,000 will serve as support troops to deal with emergencies. The remaining soldiers will guard Beidi County to ensure the supplies of our army." Huangfu Song
said.
All the generals declared together.
The next day, the flags were waved in the school grounds. More than 100,000 troops stood quietly in the school grounds. Huangfu Song hung a sword on his waist and walked up to the commander's platform holding the seal of the general on horseback and slowly lowered the seal.
The usually noisy campus was surprisingly quiet, and the soldiers looked at the general on the podium without saying a word.
Jia Rong was speechless. He didn't expect Huangfu Song to have such a great influence among the Han army. I'm afraid that if Huangfu Song raised his arms and shouted to kill Luoyang, all the soldiers would follow him to the death.
After ordering all the generals, the three armies split up and marched towards Lingzhou, Lianxian and Niyang in a torrent-like manner.
Naturally, the movements of the Han army could not be hidden from Marquis Li Wen, and he soon learned the latest movements of the Han army through the scouts. Although the Qiang people were huddled in the city, the scouts were walking around the entire battlefield to keep abreast of the latest situation on the battlefield.
After hearing the scout's report, Marquis Li Wen said with a sinister smile: "Huangfu Song, that's all. Let's see how I defeat you one by one."
Marquis Li Wen left 20,000 people to defend Lingzhou, and led 20,000 cavalry to rush out of the city with enough dry food.
Among the 20,000 Han soldiers led by Yuan Pang, there were more than 2,000 cavalry. This was to take care of Yuan Pang's identity. Sun Jian, a general in hundreds of battles, naturally understood the principle of placing scouts all over the marching road. Along the way, the scouts kept coming.
Here comes the latest news on the road ahead.
However, I don't know what happened today. There were three fewer scouts sent to the front. After waiting for a long time, they still didn't come back.
Yuan Pang looked at Sun Jian, who kept looking forward with an anxious look on his face, and advised: "General Sun is overly worried. Perhaps the scouts in front have not returned due to some delay. We should set off for Niyang quickly. Military is the most important thing.
"
Sun Jian nodded and agreed with Yuan Pang's view, but he still felt uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Late at night, the pale moonlight shone on this land, and there was an eerie silence all around.
In a valley, Marquis Li Wen issued a series of orders to his generals. Each of the 20,000 Qiang cavalry rode expressionlessly on their horses, waiting for the order. Each war horse had no idea how the Qiang cavalry had used it.
It's very quiet.
In the temporary camp where the Han army was stationed, Sun Jian paced repeatedly in the tent, thinking about the three scouts who disappeared during the day. Sun Jian was still restless and could not fall asleep.
Marquis Li Wen looked at the Han army camp in the distance, with a flash of solemnity in his eyes. The Han army camp could be said to have one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps, and it was very tightly defended.
The three missing scouts today made Sun Jian uneasy. He personally supervised the defense of the Han army's camp and built it like an iron barrel.
Li Wenhou distributed combat orders to the generals around him. After a while, the Qiang cavalry ran in three directions.
No matter how tight the defense of the Han army was, it could not stop Li Wenhou's will to defeat the Han army. It was Li Wenhou's decision to attack this Han army of about 20,000 people after hearing the news reported by the scouts. The missing scouts of the Han army today,
Naturally, it was also done by Li Wenhou, who believed that he could easily defeat this Han army with his 20,000 cavalry. The cavalry has been a nightmare for infantry since ancient times.
Looking at the soldiers behind him with war intent in their eyes, Li Wenhou pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at the Han army camp, and took the lead to kill the Han army camp. Ten thousand Qiang cavalry screamed and screamed.
Then comes.
The Han soldiers guarding the camp realized something was wrong. As soon as they rang the gong in their hands, they were shot into hedgehogs by a dense burst of arrows.
The 10,000 cavalrymen led by Marquis Li Wen pushed aside the resisting horses and stormed into the Han camp. The Qiang cavalry galloped across the Han camp and killed every Han soldier.
Sun Jian heard the noise outside the tent and hurriedly walked out of the tent. He heard shouts of killing not far away, which were vaguely mixed with wailing sounds. Based on what happened during the day, Sun Jian realized that something was wrong and immediately organized his troops.
Move closer to the Chinese army where Yuan Pang is.
Sun Jian's own troops numbered 1,500. They followed Sun Jian to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion. They were an elite force that had fought in hundreds of battles. They were also soldiers brought by Sun Jian from his hometown.
Yuan Pang was stunned by this sudden war. When he saw Sun Jian leading his soldiers to approach him, he hurriedly led his followers to join them.
The war was urgent, and Sun Jian didn't care so much anymore. He gave orders instead of Yuan Pang and ordered the Chinese army's flag to be raised high. The panicked Han soldiers moved closer to Sun Jian's direction.
After Li Wenhou discovered this situation in the distance, he immediately ordered his soldiers to set fire to the Han army camp, and then led more than 3,000 cavalry in the direction of Sun Jian.
Sun Jian was worthy of being a veteran of hundreds of battles. In a panic, he organized his soldiers to resist the attack of the Qiang cavalry, blocked the Qiang cavalry led by Marquis Li Wen at the periphery, and retreated while fighting.
The war fell into a stalemate for a while. At this time, a cavalry numbering several thousand people suddenly appeared from the rear of the Han army and rushed towards the Han army. Listening to the howling and strange screams of the cavalry, no one would regard this cavalry as a stalemate.
As reinforcements from the Han army, a similar cavalry also appeared on the left.
Two waves of arrows roared in, killing and wounding a large number of Han soldiers. They suddenly fell to the ground like wheat.
