"What! The troops of generals Wang and Yan were defeated by the Han army?" Yang Guangsheng was stunned in the county government hall.
"Yes, Governor. General Wang led his troops ten miles out of the city when he was intercepted by the Han army. During the fight, Zhu Zhong personally led the elite cavalry of the guards to attack... General Wang could not resist, and the entire army was defeated. Even Wang
The general himself also died in the battle."
"General Yan hurriedly led his troops to rescue. However, the Han army was very powerful. General Yan killed General Wang in one step. When General Yan's troops arrived, Zhu Zhong led his troops to attack again, and then he could no longer support General Yan.
Fell into the chaos and disappeared..."
"I originally wanted to pretend to be confused, use a partial army to draw the attention of some Han troops, and then use the Jingsui Army to cover up my true intention. Who would have thought that this first step would be..., now...what should I do?
"
When Yang Guangsheng heard this, he felt that his mind was confused and he was dumbfounded. After a while, he came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Tong in the tent, and asked in a panic: "General Jiang, do you have any countermeasures to solve this predicament?"
"Captain!" Weishu Jiangtong, the general in the tent, was the calmest at this time, with a calm expression on his face and no trace of panic. After all, a man already has a death wish and is not even afraid of death. What else would he be afraid of?
"I do have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible."
"What's the plan? Tell me quickly!"
"The Commander-in-Chief ordered a group of my troops to bluff in the city and conceal the Han army's eyes and ears. Then the Commander-in-Chief took advantage of the cover of night to lead a large group of troops out of the city and still sneaked in the direction of the two generals Wang Yan, silencing the troops and horses, and
Do not alert the Han army's advance."
This is the real rhythm of seeking death!
"General Jiang..." Yang Guangsheng felt a surge of heat in his heart, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Jiang Tong's 'trick' was not a clever one, but he put himself in a situation of near death.
"There is no need to say anything, Governor. Today's situation can only be like this. I only hope that after the Governor returns to Zhao, the Governor can take care of the little relatives in Tong's family!"
Jiang Tong, who has already submitted a confession, can be said to have shouldered 70% of the responsibility for the Jiangjin battle. Although Yang Guangsheng cannot escape safely, he can at most shed a layer of skin and save his life. As for his position,
At the level of Yang Guangsheng, as long as he has his life, it is only a matter of time before he will rise again.
"Don't worry, General Jiang. Your relatives are also relatives of someone." The tears in Yang Guangsheng's eyes couldn't help but flow down, and he didn't know if he was putting on a show.
The people had titles and the horses had their feet bound. At the right time, Yang Guangsheng led about 60,000 people out of the west gate of the county. Thousands of Zhao soldiers were left behind. Yang Guangsheng did not dare to keep the Jingsui Army behind, otherwise they would definitely make a noise. Even
Fires are not uncommon.
After all, these Jingsui troops who surrendered to Zhao Jun surrendered in the first place just to avoid death!
When 60,000 people left the city and walked six or seven miles without seeing any Han soldiers, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. But Yang Guangsheng's heart was even more excited. Zhu Biaozhen would not even have a team of dysprosium spearmen.
Xi Mianliu? But all he could do at this moment was, "Send the order, all the troops move quickly, move quickly..."
With a wave of his hand, Yang Guangsheng had just ordered the whole army to move forward. Suddenly, in the darkness around him, torches suddenly lit up. Countless Han cavalry galloped their horses and shouted: "Xiujiao has left Yang Guangsheng! Xiujiao has left Yang Guangsheng!"
"The commander has been waiting here for a long time!"
"The commander has been waiting here for a long time!"
Fire and drums were roaring from all sides. In one place where the fire was brightest, a tall military flag with the word "Zhu" was fluttering fiercely in the night wind.
"Oops, there is an ambush." Seeing that he had fallen into a trap, Yang Guangsheng's wandering mind did not calm down but became even more panicked. He reined in his horse and loudly ordered. "The whole army retreats, the whole army retreats...quickly"
Return to the city..."
Sixty percent of the 60,000 soldiers and horses under his command were from the Jingsui Army. When they saw their plan, they immediately went into chaos. It was difficult for the commanders of the military schools to control them late at night, so they did not wait for the Han army to arrive with their horses. More than 30,000 Jingsui soldiers
They all fell apart, running around like headless flies.
Those who are lucky enough to escape are naturally lucky. Those who are not so lucky, no one dares to hand a knife to the elite cavalry of the Hedong Army. If they encounter it, they will drop their weapons, squat on the ground, hold their heads, and surrender——
"Yang Guangsheng, why don't you come and die!" Among the thousands of troops, Zhu Zhong galloped on his horse and watched Yang Guangsheng commit suicide. A big knife in his hand flew up and down. On the way, the Zhao army soldiers died if they stuck to them or knocked to death.
At dawn, Zhao Sheng's army of more than 100,000 left behind by Jiangjin City, except for the 20,000 soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, the rest either died in battle or surrendered, and some were deserters who ran away before they were defeated.
There were very few remnant soldiers fighting their way out of the battlefield or escaping from the battlefield.
Deputy Governor Jiang Tong died in the battle, and Governor Yang Guangsheng was seriously injured and captured.
In the battles before and after, the Han army captured and surrendered Zhao soldiers, about 40,000 people, and the Jingsui army more than 32,000 people.
Peking City.
The morning light is shining in the east, and it is not far from dawn. If it were normal, the city of Peiping would have been busy at this moment, and both residents and merchants were preparing for a new day. But today, six or seven out of ten people in the city gathered in the west of the city.
, the north of the city, especially the Shuimen area in the north of the city, there is really no place to plug in. There are only crowds of people, and the noise has never stopped since late at night. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here, all night long!
It's just that I can hear the good news coming from outside the city earlier.
Yesterday morning, a small boat on the upper reaches of the river arrived outside Shuimen, bringing the latest battle report from Jiangjin County. It was stamped with Zhu Biao's seal and signed with Zhu Biao's name, which truly confirmed the good news delivered by the night eagle.
.
Jiangjin soldiers and horses defeated the enemy by water, mobilized the Zhao army to return to Yufeng, and defeated 50,000 people from Jiangtong, the deputy governor of the Zhao army. Then they burned the city of Yufeng, and burned all the 500,000 Zhao army's military supplies and grain that were transferred to the front line.
Almost exhausted.
Even the common people in the capital, who have never learned any art of war, also know the extraordinary significance of Jiangjin's victory.
Since the defeat at Baiping Mountain, the country has suffered constant disasters. Whether the Zhongshan Kingdom betrayed its alliance and attacked, or whether the Hu cavalry army broke through Luozhou and tried to suppress the Luo Mingjiang River, people everywhere were devastated and smoke was everywhere, but the capital of Peiping never received its true significance.
threats, including the disaster of Uwetuo.
But now, the Zhao State betrayed the alliance and actually captured Yanzhou. They actually crossed the Luoming River and rushed directly to the capital city of Peiping. The people in the city truly realized that the Han Dynasty was "really on the verge of life and death"! Fortunately, there are loyal and brave generals who have forgotten their lives.
On the outside, the virtuous ministers worked tirelessly on the inside. One hundred thousand Han troops defended the capital, and after half a month of stalemate, Zhu Shuai finally lived up to the expectations of millions of people. He killed the Zhao army with one blow, and won a clean and beautiful victory.
The document wishing the commander-in-chief a victory said that if all the Zhao captives are wiped out within three days, he will lead his elite cavalry straight to the capital. The time is today, so hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting in the west and north of the city since last night.
.
The reason for waiting in the west of the city is because we can 'see' the reaction of the main force of the Zhao army. If the hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops in Jiangjin County are wiped out, then there will definitely be a big reaction from the Zhao army outside the city. The reason for waiting in the north of the city, especially at Shuimen, is
In order to hear the sound of victory as early as possible.
On the water gate tower in the north of the city, a throne has been set up. Although Ji Yun, the king of the Han Dynasty, has red eyes, he is not tired at all. He gets up from the throne from time to time and looks up from the tower, anxiously waiting for the news. Behind him are the three ministers and the six ministers.
, none of the wealthy nobles were left behind, and they all took their seats according to their official ranks.
Gao Shouxun, Cai Jueshen, Yun Han and others sat together, communicating only with eyes from beginning to end and not saying a single word. Compared with the constant whispers of their colleagues around them, they were very calm. Under the city wall, Yun Qi, Yu Xinxian and others
People were sitting together and not talking to each other. But Yun Qi and Yu Xinxian knew it well. Like Ji Yun and others, they were eager to wait for good news!
Because if the Jiangjin war succeeds, Zhu Biao will have another chance to turn things around. If it fails, the little advantage that the Han Dynasty has just gained between Han and Zhao will no longer exist again. Zhu Biao has both merits and demerits. In the future, he will be the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Life will be more difficult.
Ji Yun looked westward on the city, feeling uneasy. The Northern Han Dynasty's military strength was almost exhausted. If Zhu Biao was defeated in the battle of Jiangjin, it would be a disaster for Bai Han at this moment. That meant that Zhao Jun was here.
Even if they were forced to withdraw from Anzhou due to logistical reasons, Yanzhou could not be handed over to the Northern Han Dynasty, because the Northern Han Dynasty was simply unable to regain its homeland...
It's almost dawn, why hasn't the news been sent back? Is the lonely king too reckless? He has revealed the news a long time ago. If Zhu Biao really can't defeat the Jiangjin Zhao army, he won't say anything else, just save his face.
It also sweeps the floor.
He turned around and returned to the throne, closing his eyes as if to rest his mind. After a while, he suddenly heard the guards at the top of the city roar, saying that a flying horse was coming to the west of the city. As soon as he said this, the monarchs and ministers on the city suddenly stood up in unison. Ji Yun thought it was this
I was too tired for a while. After suddenly running away, I felt that my eyes were black and I almost fell down. The servant had quick eyes and hands to help him. Not long after, I saw a general rushing up to the city. He opened his eyes and saw the Taiwei Natou.
Then worship.
Cai Jueshen didn't wait for him to speak, and said quickly: "Your Majesty is right here, come with me!" After saying that, he led the general and quickly stepped forward to the second floor of the city tower. When he came to Ji Yun, he wanted to salute.
But Ji Yun waited most of the night and was already so anxious that he didn't care about these false courtesy and asked: "Is there any news?"
"Your Majesty, there was no movement in Zhao Jun's camp last night, but today Zhao Jun's scouting horses suddenly disappeared. General Yun sent people and horses to peep, and found that Zhao Jun's camp was empty, and not a single soldier was seen!"
hurriedly played.
Ji Yun didn't know much about military affairs, but he was very happy after hearing this, "So, Zhao Lu has withdrawn?"
"Back to your Majesty, the Zhao army indeed withdrew overnight and did not even bother to dismantle the camp! Or they did not dare to dismantle the camp for fear of prematurely exposing our army's intentions," the general reported.
"Okay! The coach is mighty——"
Ji Yun was ecstatic and could no longer suppress her mood, circling back and forth on the second floor.
In the circle of nobles below the city tower, an old man next to Yu Ziliang congratulated in a low voice: "Brother, you have such good eyesight. You have chosen a good grandson-in-law."
"It's a pity... nature plays tricks on people..." Yu Ziliang sighed inwardly.
At noon, a flying eagle landed on the top of the city, and Zhu Biao reported victory. The troops of Yang Guangsheng, the governor of Zhao, were completely annihilated. More than 50,000 people under the deputy governor Jiang Tong were killed in formation, and Zhao soldiers and more than 70,000 Jingsui troops were captured. Now I wish you the best.
Biao had already led the cavalry from behind, and sent additional infantry, with Gao Xie as the chief general, to supervise the troops to attack Anyang County on the north bank, and Yang Yanzhang to guard Jiangjin.
In the evening, a light boat sailed from the upper reaches to the water gate outside the city, and the formal documents of good news were officially delivered to Peiping.
Zhao Sheng felt like breathing fire. If he wanted to rip Jiang Tong alive three days ago, now he wanted to rip Yang Guangsheng alive. More than 100,000 troops were wiped out in ashes. Yes, there were 50,000 useless Jings among them.
Sui army, but there are also more than 100,000 Zhao soldiers. Now everything is gone!
The food is gone, the military supplies are gone, and there is no way out.
Given the distance between Jiangjin County and Peiping, I wish Governor Biao could arrive in less than two days. When they were stationed at the camp that night, Zhao Sheng strictly ordered the entire army to be on alert at night!
Thirty thousand Zhu Biao cavalry were less than fifty miles away from Zhao Jun's front. Zhao Sheng ordered the entire army to maintain martial law at night. But he did not expect that Zhu Biao did not intend to rob the camp at all.
The 300,000-strong army is not an imaginary number, it is a real number. The 'sense of strength' in Zhao Jun's heart is too heavy. A sneak attack of 30,000 cavalry can only hurt their flesh and flesh, but cannot move the bones of Zhao Jun. This kind of war and victory,
Zhu Biao doesn’t want to fight.
It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them! This is the kind of battle he wants to fight.
but……
"What a serious march..."
The next day Zhu Biao saw the Zhao army retreating. He had to admit that he took it for granted. He underestimated Zhao Sheng.
No wonder King Zhao would put an army of 500,000 in his hands. With this "rigor" alone, he was qualified.
The Zhao army has 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry, of which 50,000 remain in the center. The remaining cavalry groups form three cavalry groups, with one at the head. There are about two groups of cavalry, and the range of the cavalry can reach 30 miles. Even at the speed of the Hedong cavalry,
, it also takes more than a quarter of an hour to get there...
Moreover, the morale of the Zhao army... Zhu Biao used his Qi-gazing technique just now to check it. It is still at a relatively high value of around 80, which is obviously far from the point where the army has no fighting spirit.
War is a patient job!
I don’t know a sentence I read in a book a long time ago: War is an art that requires you to endure your temper, loneliness, and temptation.
At that time, Zhu Biao scoffed at this. But now he has a new understanding. This is indeed about being patient, being able to withstand loneliness, and being able to withstand temptation. Because 'opportunities' are created, and creation requires time.
I had developed a sense of 'patience' during the Battle of Jiangjin, and now I need to be even more patient.
"The main force retreats. Order Dysprosium to move forward and completely block Zhao Jun's eyes and ears——"
When a person becomes anxious, the quickest way is to cover his eyes and block his ears so that he cannot see or hear.
Zhao Sheng's brows furrowed. Zhu Biao appeared. Hedong Army's Di Feng was superior to his own Tan Ma in all aspects, and all information from the outside world began to become hazy.
Except for the map in his hand, he didn't know anything about the army ten miles away.
The wells were filled in and the rivers were polluted. In just three days, the soldiers and horses had problems even drinking water. All the people along the road were moved away by the Han army, and not even a grain of food could be found. The Han army
It even turned two county towns into empty cities.
Zhao Sheng knew that this time was too short, and it was impossible for the Han army to really move hundreds of thousands of people hundreds of miles away. Maybe he could change the direction of his army and encounter a large number of people within a dozen miles.
People, but if you change the direction once, will you have to change the direction every time?
What was so disruptive was not the Han army's arrangement, but Zhao Jun's own rhythm.
Zhao Sheng understood that the military morale in the team had begun to waver, and everyone's heart was cast into a shadow. They were blinded, and they didn't know if there would be Han troops arriving at Zhu Biao's tent to join them. If so,
Zhu Biao's troops became 100,000, then 150,000...
Thinking about Zhu Biao's glory on the battlefield, Zhao Sheng himself felt uneasy.
A kind of anxiety is rising in the hearts of Zhao Jun. They are eager to march quickly and return to their familiar places. Yanzhou? Linzhou? No, it is Zhao Di.
But the water source was like a heavy anklet, holding back Zhao Jun's speed.
No one believed that Zhu Biao could defeat his own army of 300,000 cavalry with 30,000 cavalry, just as no one believed that Zhu Biao could only have 30,000 cavalry under his command.
That's impossible.
As long as the Han army in Jiangjin eliminates the 20,000 Zhao army in Anyang, Zhu Biao's military strength will rise to 50,000. If there is support from Peiping, his military strength will become 100,000. When Luo Luo
Troops from Hezhou, Hedong, and Hexi arrived, and when reinforcements from Muzhou, Quzhou, and Yuzhou arrived, even soldiers and horses from Zhongshan Kingdom arrived...
A nervous emotion gripped Zhao Jun's heart deeply.
"Did you see anything?"
As for the Han army, they were all relaxed and laughing. Unlike the increasingly anxious Zhao army, the morale of the Han army was getting higher every day.
Zhu Biaoyao pointed at Zhao Jun's camp and said to Zhu Zhong and other generals beside him.
"I feel... I am more impatient, and my military morale is starting to become unstable." Zhu Zhong said.
Zhou and Xia nodded in agreement.
"That's it. Zhao Jun is nervous. They don't understand everything outside. Even water is a problem. They are scared and worried."
"Are you worried?"
"Hmm. I'm worried that we will increase our troops here. If we only have 30,000 people, they certainly won't worry. No matter how difficult our life is, there will be some confidence to support us. But will I only have 30,000 people? Didn't Yun Zheng already lead the army?
Have the 50,000 troops arrived?
Let Gao Xie continue to attack Yanzhou. We now have one hundred thousand infantry and cavalry. Zhao Jun would not have seen or thought about this.
Starting from tomorrow, I will show them the traces left by the march of the infantry. The beginning will be thirty thousand, the day after tomorrow fifty thousand, the day after tomorrow seventy thousand, and then one hundred thousand. I will make statues of all the cooking pots and stoves.
This time we will devise a plan to increase the number of cooking stoves to frighten Zhao Bing’s courage——”
Zhu Zhong, Zhou Ziang, and Xia Yunzhao nodded slowly, understanding the meaning of Zhu Biao's words.
"The commander is a good strategist. As long as it can cause the Zhao soldiers to panic, even if the Zhao generals see through the flaw, it will not delay the effect at all. As long as the Zhao soldiers' hearts are trembling and their morale is low, it is easy to defeat them——"
Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing. This battle really made him smarter and gave him a sense of superiority!
