The Xianbei people did not have weapons to attack the city wall, only some improvised simple ladders. The Xianbei people were also aware of this, so for half a month they only stationed themselves ten miles away from the city, wreaking havoc on Han villages, or coming to the city to intimidate them, and
No actual attack was taken.
Jia Rong smiled noncommittally. It would be a weird thing if he could capture the Han city wall with such a ladder.
Sure enough, the Xianbei people seemed to be demonstrating. They circled around Peiping several times, cursed in Xianbei dialect and rode away in the dust. It was better to say that it was an attack on the city than to go out for a walk after being full.
The Han army could not move out, and the most unlucky people were the nearby people, who were plundered by the Xianbei people.
Seeing the Xianbei people leaving, the Han soldiers in the city could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Twenty thousand cavalry came galloping forward. It was scary to say that they were not nervous.
Looking at the actions of the Xianbei people, Jia Rong couldn't help but fell into deep thought, because the Xianbei people had no business doing this. They entered the Han territory to rob. It would be understandable if they were worried about the white horse Yi Cong in the city. They spent the whole day like this.
What is going on in circles in front of the city? Is it really because he is afraid of Gongsun Zan? This is definitely not the case.
"Brother Bogui, what do you think of the Xianbei people's behavior?" Jia Rong asked as he walked down the city wall.
Gongsun Zan smiled and said: "Zhiyuan, the Xianbei people have always been like this, but there have never been so many troops in the past, and after they entered the Han territory, the most important thing they did was plunder."
"Jing Zhiyuan said that the behavior of the Xianbei people this time is indeed a bit strange." Gongsun Zan murmured.
Jia Rong comforted him and said: "No matter what tricks the Xianbei people play, as long as they stick to the city, there is nothing they can do. When their food and grass are exhausted, they will naturally retreat."
Gongsun Zan nodded and said: "Zhiyuan's words are exactly what I want!"
For three days in a row, the Xianbei people came to take a walk outside the city every time, as if they were full and had nothing to do.
Jia Rong has been thinking deeply about it, and Gongsun Zan also has many questions about it.
It was already noon on the sixth day, but the Xianbei cavalry still did not show up, and they still did not show up until ten o'clock in the evening. According to the situation of the previous few days, the Xianbei cavalry should have arrived long ago.
"Bogui, what happened to the Xianbei people?" Jia Rong asked.
Gongsun Zan lived on the border for a long time and must have a deeper understanding of the Xianbei people than Jia Rong.
"I think the Xianbei people have started looting." Gongsun Zan said with a slight frown. This time, even he was not very sure.
Jia Rong learned more about the Xianbei people's warfare and habits from Gongsun Zan.
The next day, when the sky was dimming, Jia Rong had already gotten up. There were more than 300 soldiers standing quietly in the courtyard, of which more than 150 were cavalry and the rest were infantry. After passing through the desert, all
All the horses were lost, and the cavalry became infantry.
Although they have transformed into infantry, their combat effectiveness is still something that no one dares to underestimate. Most of the Xiliang Army cavalry's predecessors were infantry. After many selections, they became a glorious cavalry. They also know the combined attack technique that infantry is good at, and they are worthy of it.
He is called an all-rounder, but no matter how powerful the infantry is, it will not be enough to meet the brave Xianbei cavalry. Without heavy weapons to protect them, the cavalry is the natural enemy of the infantry. Even Li Shun's trapped camp will only be defeated by a large number of cavalry.
Eating bit by bit.
Jia Rong walked slowly among the soldiers and said in a serious tone: "Commanders, captains and centurions, are you willing to be infantry? Don't forget that you are a glorious Xiliang cavalry and Xiliang cavalry."
A member of the cavalry."
"How can cavalry be without war horses!"
Many soldiers cast questioning glances at Jia Rong, but more were the burning glances from the soldiers led by Lu Bu. Naturally, they had heard of the "Xiliang Iron Cavalry", and Jia Rong personally named it the most elite cavalry team of the Xiliang Army.
They had also heard about the positions of these soldiers, and they yearned for them even more, quietly waiting for Jia Rong's next words.
"There are many excellent war horses in front of you now. As long as you have the ability, you can own not only one war horse, but also two or even three." Jia Rong said with a change of tone.
The heartstrings of all the soldiers were aroused by Jia Rong. The cavalry without horses can only be said to be infantry.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Lu Bu's soldiers, Jia Rong said: "This is also the best time for you to gain military exploits."
"If you kill one Xianbei cavalry, you will be directly promoted to a corps commander. If you kill two, you will be a captain. If you kill five, you will be a hundred-man general. By analogy, as long as you have the ability, you can get an official position."
"And the promotion will be based on the original official position." Jia Rong said word by word.
Before he finished speaking, all the soldiers immediately shouted loudly, their lips trembling with excitement, and the veins bulging in the hands holding the weapons. As soon as Jia Rong gave the order, they rode their horses to kill Xianbei.
Jia Rong's words lifted everyone's minds, and in the scene where a needle could be heard, only the heavy breathing of many soldiers could be heard.
"At that time, each of us will have three or four horses, and we will also travel a long distance to hit the Xianbei people's nests and plunder them. We will also learn how to ride Huo Qiao."
Following Jia Rong's words, everyone seemed to have seen the Xianbei tribesmen trembling under the iron hoofs, and everyone couldn't help but clench the weapons in their hands again.
After Gongsun Zan heard the news sent by Jia Rong's soldiers, he immediately led his troops.
The sound of horse hooves "tapping" was accompanied by Gongsun Zan's shout: "Zhiyuan, wait a minute!"
"Zhiyuan, the Xianbei people are coming this time with great force, and their number is several times greater than before. If we venture out of the city, we may be in danger of annihilation of our entire army." As he approached Jia Rong, Gongsun Zan stood up and dismounted and said anxiously.
Jia Rong clasped his fists and said: "Thank you Bogui for taking me in over the past few days. Xianbei invaded our border with the Han Dynasty. When the country is in crisis, it is the time for us to serve the country. The blood of the people cannot be shed in vain!"
"Don't forget that we are soldiers and soldiers, and our bounden duty is to protect the people and the country!"
The righteous words are enough to make any general's blood boil. Gongsun Zan said with some shame: "I can't compare with my ambition!"
"Tell the soldiers to gather their troops and horses, and leave the city immediately to fight against Xianbei!" Gongsun Zan shouted to the soldiers on the side with red eyes. Everyone has dreams in their hearts.
"Promise!" the soldier promised loudly, clasping his fists.
Gongsun Zan said: "In the past, when Xianbei invaded, they always divided their troops to plunder. I expect it will be the same again. If 20,000 people are divided into dozens of teams, each team will only have a few hundred people, and they can fight."
Jia Rong echoed: "Bogui's words make sense!"
Wei Fu and Ma Teng's family were forced to stay in the city, including Ma Chao, who wanted to join the army, but was coaxed and persuaded by Jia Rong to stay in the city. He did not want the future general to die in his youth. Wei Fu was like a virtuous man.
His wife carefully arranged Jia Rong's clothes before leaving, and took the trouble to remind Jia Rong.
Gongsun Zan went out to the army and won the favor of the soldiers and people in the city. The soldiers rushed to the battlefield to protect their families behind them and not to want them to be affected by the war.
Resolutely leading the army to meet the powerful enemy, Baima Yicong's prestige was once again enhanced.
Looking at the people leaving the city to see them off, Gongsun Zan sighed: "For the sake of the people, we must drive the Xianbei people out of the Han territory!"
"Anyone who offends our great Han will be punished no matter how far away he is!" Gongsun Zan shouted, waving his sword.
"Even if we are far away, we will be killed. Even if we are far away, we will be killed..." More than 3,300 soldiers roared in unison, and the people who came out of the city to see them off also followed suit and roared for a long time.
"Go!" Following Gongsun Zan's order, more than three thousand cavalry rushed toward the Xianbei garrison like a rolling torrent.
Listening to the news from the scouts, Jia Rong's eyes gradually became gloomy. As expected by Gongsun Zan, the Xianbei people divided their forces and began to plunder Han villages, and the place where the Xianbei people stationed their troops was deserted.
"Brother Bogui, the Xianbei people have divided their forces, what should we do now?" Jia Rong rode up to Gongsun Zan and asked. It is good to be enthusiastic, but we must also distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Gongsun Zan said: "Xianbei has great power. Now that we have divided our troops, each team will definitely not be as strong as ours. We just need to defeat them one by one."
Jia Rong shook his head and said: "According to the information reported by the spies, the number of each Xianbei cavalry is about three hundred. Our Han army has always been brave, and the more than three thousand people might as well be divided into seven teams, each with about five hundred people.
"
"Exchange each other's needs and eliminate the marauding Xianbei people."
Gongsun Zan's face was slightly ugly. After deep thought, he slowly said: "Just from Zhiyuan's perspective!" Jia Rong's method may be the method that can eliminate the main force of Xianbei to the greatest extent at present.
Jia Rong said: "I will lead the original team as a team!"
Gongsun Zan was shocked when he heard this and advised: "Zhiyuan cannot be achieved. All the people in Xianbei are cavalry, but Zhiyuan only has more than a hundred cavalry and more than a hundred infantry. How to deal with it?"
Jia Rong said: "What should Xianbei have to fear? If he is touched by me, he will be shattered to pieces. I will see the warriors of the Han army."
Gongsun Zan's expression was stagnant, and he was also infected by Jia Rong's heroic spirit. At the beginning, he, Gongsun Zan, had only a few hundred men and horses, so he launched an attack on the Xianbei people without hesitation, and gradually developed to the scale before him. Unexpectedly, there were more soldiers.
, but became less courageous.
Combined with Jia Rong, Gongsun Zan felt a little ashamed and said loudly: "Okay!"
"If Zhiyuan has any requests, just ask." Gongsun Zan said proudly.
Jia Rong looked confused and said, "Bogui, isn't this good?"
Gongsun Zan said with a slightly sad look on his face: "Zhiyuan's troops are insufficient, and he also lacks horses under his command. It is reasonable for me to help, and there is no need to refuse."
Jia Rong said: "I only want one person from Bogui's army. Is that okay?"
Gongsun Zan said: "Don't say one person, it's ten or a hundred. What's the problem?"
"Can Bogui send Zhao Yun to help me?" Jia Rong asked tentatively. Zhao Yun has the appearance of a general, but he is shamelessly poaching.
Gongsun Zan said without hesitation: "What's the problem? Someone, bring Zhao Yun here."
After a moment, Zhao Yun came to the two of them.
Gongsun Zan warned: "From now on, you will follow General Jia to destroy Xianbei. You must do your best in everything and obey General Jia's orders."
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and responded: "No!"
Jia Rong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Bogui!"
Thank you for your help and popularity. There are many things going on in May, so the updates are a bit weak. I hope everyone will understand!
