This hasty uprising is inseparable from Han Sui's hard work and cruel methods. He conspired to kill the Colonel Huqiang, and Han Sui's spies were ambushing him in Jincheng County. Then the rebels easily succeeded.
After capturing Jincheng, within two months, Jincheng County was completely occupied.
Over the years, although the Qiang people have been at war with the Han people, they have never lost the last layer of face. They are in the type of fighting if the conversation is not good. The Qiang guard captain is just a diplomat of the Han people, constantly fighting with the Qiang people.
The Qiang people negotiated with each other, and in the end, the Qiang people also gained a lot of benefits.
But Han Sui's move forced all the Qiang people to raise troops. Naturally, Li Wenhou did not tell his generals about taking refuge under a Han general. Only Beigong Boyu, who could trust him,
Knowing this, otherwise it will inevitably cause great chaos among the Qiang people. The Qiang people are an army formed by various ethnic groups. Unlike the Han army, if there is a slight change, it will immediately fall into disarray.
Ever since Jia Rong told Li Wenhou to be careful of Han Sui, he was wary of Han Sui. Unexpectedly, Han Sui murdered the Qiang Protector Colonel. From then on, Li Wenhou became even more wary of Han Sui.
, I was also deeply frightened by Jia Rong's unforeseen events.
"I agree with what Lou Shan said. The Han army in the city is brave. How can it be that my army of 100,000 cannot capture a small Pingxiang city? According to the spies, the number of Han troops in the city is at most 10,000. It is not a cause for concern. A large army cannot attack by force.
It will definitely break within a few days." Li Wenhou was also a hero for a while, and he did a good job on the surface, and no one could find any faults in his words.
Han Sui narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Wenhou for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother Wenhou fought with the Han army last year, wasn't it Jia Rong who defeated the Qiang cavalry several times? I don't know what brother Wenhou has for Jia Rong.
What do you think?" Han Sui thought that Li Wenhou didn't want to tell the other generals present some information about Jia Rong.
Li Wenhou said with a smile: "Wen Yue is really well-informed. It was Jia Rong who took advantage of the opportunity. Otherwise, how could he defeat our Qiang army so easily? Our Qiang soldiers are all warriors. They came to the battlefield."
We must compete with Jia Rong."
Li Wenhou's words were strongly supported by the Qiang generals.
After thinking for a long time, Bian Zhang said slowly: "The Han army in the city is no more than ten thousand, and the walls of Pingxiang City are low. As long as the army surrounds Pingxiang City, Pingxiang City can be conquered in a few days. At that time, the three of us will take turns to attack, so that
The Han troops in the city cannot rest."
Bian Zhang's words were supported by most of the generals in the tent. Han Sui's lips moved but he never said anything else.
The failure of the vanguard army made the rebels vigilant a lot. Along the way, the scouts kept reporting on the situation ahead. On the battlefield, things were changing rapidly, and anything could happen, especially since the defender of Pingxiang City was Jia Rong.
Can a general who devoured his vanguard in front of a 100,000-strong army be judged by common sense?
In the evening, the Qiang people came to Pingxiang City, surrounded Pingxiang City heavily, walked around Pingxiang City several times like a demonstration, and then stationed in the direction of the north gate of Pingxiang City.
The total number of rebels this time was more than 100,000. Xianling Qiangloushan led more than 40,000 soldiers, and Li Wenhou led 40,000 soldiers. Han Sui and Bian Zhang's combined troops were about 20,000.
Various numbers of men and horses were also placed in the counties captured above. Before deducting the loss of more than 1,500 vanguard troops, the army at this time was about 80,000 people.
With a population of over 10,000 and boundless borders, Jia Rong stood on the city wall and looked at the densely packed enemies outside the city. The visual conflict he experienced was self-evident. The improvised Han army troops tightened their weapons even more.
, after all, the previous vanguard army only had 2,000 people, but now it has 80,000 people.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Jia Rong laughed loudly and said: "Brothers, don't be afraid. No matter how powerful the rebels are, they are not just beaten to pieces. I have already asked General Dong Zhonglang of Longguan for help. Longguan,
There are about 100,000 Han troops stationed in Chang'an. Defeating these rebels is just a piece of cake. The time has come for us to make a contribution. As long as we firmly occupy Pingxiang, it will be a great achievement. From now on, we will kill all
A rebel will always receive a reward, and he can receive it after the battle..."
Passed to ten, to hundreds, Jia Rong's words quickly spread throughout Pingxiang City, and the morale that had been lowered by the army outside the city was instantly lifted.
What is very different from before is that the soldiers looked at the rebels outside the city with a little desire. Money is the most practical thing. Jia Rong's words "Killing a rebel is always money!"
He kept talking here all afternoon to encourage the soldiers.
Compared with the temporarily formed soldiers, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army behaved very calmly. Even if there was no reward, they would fight to the death because Jia Rong was the commander-in-chief of this army.
That night, the garrison in Pingxiang City lived a very restless life, especially the sergeants on patrol at night. They opened their eyes wide and looked at the movement outside the city, and the mallets in their hands were ready to strike the gong at any time.
Jia Rong basically didn't sleep much that night. It was his first time as a general to defend the city, and there were 100,000 rebels watching the city. It would be strange not to be excited. He thought about how he, a scholar in the future world, started a murder business in the Han Dynasty.
, Jia Rong came to the city wall five or six times in one night.
The next day, after the rebels made rice, they began to conduct a tentative attack on Pingxiang City.
The first to attack was the Xianling Qiang army. This time they invested about 20,000 troops. Although Pingxiang City was not big, it was divided into four gates: east, west, north and south.
Jia Rong guarded the most important north gate. At the east gate, Li Shun led soldiers from the trapped camp and 400 Han troops guarded it. At the west gate, Jiang Yu led more than 400 cavalry and more than 400 temporarily formed Han troops.
The defense of the south gate was guarded by Zhang Wei, with more than 400 cavalry and 400 temporarily formed Han troops. Li Shun's defensive force at the east gate was the strongest.
The remaining 1,500 cavalry and 400 Han soldiers traveled between the four gates to deal with emergencies. The militiamen were used to carry consumables such as stones, wood, arrows, etc. Although
They were somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the war, but these soldiers were still very passionate, and their salary was raised to one hundred dollars per day by Jia Rong. The entire Pingxiang City was under the highest martial law, and people were not allowed to go out, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
Jia Rong had only been in Pingxiang City for a relatively short period of time, and it was difficult to guarantee that there were already Han Sui's spies in the city before that.
It is very rare for an impregnable city to be truly broken by force, and hidden dangers often come from within the group. They are not afraid of powerful opponents, but are afraid of spies within the army.
The Art of War says, "Surround the enemy ten times!", and the rebels meet exactly this condition.
With the drumming of war drums, the Xianling Qiang soldiers launched a fierce attack on the north gate of Pingxiang City, and more than a thousand garrison troops immediately joined Jia Rong's team.
The first battle was very crucial. Jia Rong could not lose. He recognized that the troops below were not Li Wenhou's soldiers. Jia Rong was no longer polite. He attacked hard as soon as he went up. All the pots collected were transported to the north gate.
, set up a pot and lit a fire, and a jar of oil was poured into the pot. After a while, the oil was already boiling, and baskets of feces were lifted up and poured into the pot. The aroma of the oil was mixed with the smell of feces.
The smell echoes in Pingxiang City.
Dense arrows were traveling up and down the city. The Xiliang army occupied the basic geographical advantage. From a commanding position, each Qiang man was shot by arrows and made a miserable cry. In comparison, the losses of the Han army on the city were
Under the orders of Jia Rong, all the infantrymen hid behind the female wall.
The Xianling Qiang lived up to their reputation of being tough. One Qiang soldier was hit by an arrow and fell down. The Qiang soldiers behind him stepped on the corpse of their companion and rushed towards the city gate.
A hail of arrows hit the city, and the suppressed Han troops on the city could not raise their heads. Then ladders were set up on the city wall, and rams continued to rush towards the city gate. Fortunately, the north gate had already passed through many obstacles.
Reinforced, even if the car is rushed for a moment, it cannot be broken.
Several soldiers worked together to overthrow the ladder on the city wall. Only the shouts of the Qiang soldiers were heard, followed by the thud of falling to the ground.
Although the wall of Pingxiang City is not high, it is still three feet long. If you fall under the wall, you will not fall to death, but you can easily injure a soldier. This will not only increase the burden of food and fodder for the rebels outside the city, but also reduce their burden.
Combat value, and the painful howls of the soldiers are also a blow to the enemy's morale.
The attacking Qiang soldiers numbered about 20,000, and they were densely packed under the city.
Looking at the shouting enemy troops rushing towards the city wall, Jia Rong thought, if there were a few boxes of grenades and a dozen of them were given to the city, major results would definitely be achieved. The idea of ​​developing grenades was also in Jia Rong's mind.
Roots took root in my mind.
What is different from the scenes in TV series and movies is that these soldiers are desperately climbing up the city, and death is also real death. Life here becomes worthless.
With a wave of his hand, the already boiled fecal juice was brought up. The feces had already rolled in the oil, leaving only residue. Strings of bubbles were constantly rising from the bottom of the pot.
The soldier suppressed his nausea, scooped up a ladle of dung juice and poured it over the heads of the soldiers in the city.
Oily dung juice can be called a powerful weapon for defending the city. Naturally, there was no such method of defending the city in the Han Dynasty. The hot dung juice not only has a large attack range, but is also very damaging. Once the skin is scalded, it is difficult to heal, and the wound will
Gradual erosion.
A soldier who was climbing up the ladder was poured on his head by a ladle of dung juice. The Qiang soldier screamed, his vision went dark, and he fell down. The unexpected dung juice achieved impressive results. As long as he came into contact with it,
With just one drop, the Qiang soldiers will make howling sounds, and the results achieved by the dung juice are obviously more powerful than arrows and weapons.
Hearing the constant shouts of the Qiang soldiers below the city, the Han troops guarding the city became even more excited, and ladle after ladle of dung was poured towards the city at a rapid pace.
