The first thousand two hundred and eighty-ninth section of the battle of the valley (3)
Juyang is a very special city.
Since King Yan Zhao, this city has adopted the design of large and small cities.
The small town is attached to the outside of the big city and is the place for daily life and economic and trade, while the big city is backed by a deep valley, with high walls and thick walls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack!
The strength of its cities far exceeds people's imagination.
Two thousand years later, even though this place has been abandoned for nearly two thousand years, archaeologists can still find many remaining walls from the Juyang ruins. Some walls are even hundreds of meters long, with the highest point nearly four meters.
!
You know, Juyang was abandoned after the Northern Wei Dynasty!
Since then, it has experienced ups and downs, the rise and fall of dynasties, and vicissitudes of life.
But in the new century, people passing by the Juyang ruins can still see those walls scattered in the wilderness and lying between the mountains and tombs.
From time to time, local children would find some cultural relics from the Warring States and Qin and Han Dynasties from the rubble piles and grass in the mountains.
It's amazing how strong it is!
At this time, Juyang's strategic position was the same as that of Juyongguan, which was famous in later generations.
They are all about locking up Youyan and serving as a barrier for Yan and Zhao!
Standing at the head of the great city of Juyang, holding the telescope borrowed from Guan He, Ji Wu licked his lips and counted the large Xiongnu scrolls that appeared in the telescope.
"The headquarters of King Youguli..."
"The Lan family has ten thousand horses, the Subu family has ten thousand horses..."
"Oh, there are four or five small tribes..."
As Ji Wu spoke, he was amazed: "What a huge battle..."
In the past, such a large Huns cavalry could break through any point on the Great Wall, and even penetrate hundreds of miles into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, burning, killing and looting.
But now, the power of Shanggu County alone can equal them.
This is really saddening.
But, this is nothing.
Today's Huns probably never dreamed that behind Juyang City in Shanggu County, the Han Dynasty had assembled a mixed army of more than 100,000 people!
The main force of Xiliu Camp led by Chariot General Yi Zong and the light cavalry troops of the Northern and Southern armies were only two days away from Juyang.
The huge county troops mobilized by Zhao State have also entered Shanggu County.
The people of Zhao are not easy to mess with!
And their number is as high as fifty thousand.
Including the soldiers of Shanggu County itself and the main force of the Flying Fox Army that has left the fortress, in the next five days, the Han army will gather a legion of more than 100,000 in the entire Shanggu area!
Such a huge legion is enough to rewrite everything in the war.
Not to mention, there are two breastplates to assist in the battle.
Thinking of this, Ji Wu smiled even more happily. After this battle, he would be able to fulfill his father's dream and get rid of the title of Zhu Zao Hou.
"After the Huns launch an attack, put up a symbolic resistance and let the defenders of the small city withdraw into the big city..." Ji Wu narrowed his eyes and ordered: "Have someone leave more porcelain and enamel for the Huns..."
In Ji Wu's eyes, these Huns are so stupid!
In other words, the greed for profit is too much!
They went all the way south from Zaoyang, plundered and searched all the villages and cities abandoned by the Han army, scraped three feet of the ground, and even dug out the pickles and pickles that the people had hidden in the cellars...
As for daily necessities such as large and small cans, they all took them away.
So now, behind the Huns, there is a cluster specially designed to transport and protect these so-called trophies.
Perhaps seven years ago, the Huns could indeed play like this.
but now……
Isn't this seeking death?
Therefore, after discovering the greed of these Huns, Ji Wu and Guan He took advantage of their tactics and gave them a large number of ceramics and various bulky bronzes...
I thought that this strategy could only confuse some small nobles.
But never imagined that the Huns were really greedy to the extreme.
Just like the Ba Snake in the mythical story, take whatever you have, let alone the ceramics and bronzes that the Han army gave up on their own initiative.
Even those things that the people had no time to take away when they evacuated, or simply didn't want, the Huns dug into the ground three feet deep to dig them out.
They are like locusts, leaving no grass behind wherever they pass.
As of now, the Xiongnu's rear team, which should have been the rear and the cavalry guarding them, have now almost all been transferred to become heavy troops.
And such a result, on the current battlefield, is undoubtedly fatal!
However, since the enemies are so stupid, Ji Wu will certainly not remind them kindly.
They will only take advantage of his illness to kill him!
…………………………
In the evening, Yi Zong led his army and set up camp next to a county town in Shanggu County.
"General, Duke Ji, the governor of Shanggu County, abandoned the town three hours ago as promised!" A school captain came over to report.
After hearing this, Yi Zong gently clenched his fists, feeling a little excited.
The name of the entire Shanggu County comes from the deep valley on the back of Juyang City.
The so-called city above the valley!
Juyang City, which is backed by a valley, is inherently suitable as a fortress. Therefore, its main city has been used for military purposes since it was built by King Yan Zhao.
However, as time went by, the population of Shanggu gradually increased, and merchants began to come and go frequently.
Therefore, around the late Warring States period, there was a small city connected to Juyang City outside Juyang City.
The town is very simple. It was originally just a gathering place surrounded by a fence.
But then it developed faster and faster, and now the size of the small town of Juyang is similar to that of an ordinary county town. Except that there is no moat, it is almost a standard Han family fortress.
Now, Jiwu gave up the small town of Juyang, which may have given him a huge advantage in the eyes of the Huns.
but……
They will soon discover that they are actually occupying a dispensable place.
In front of them, the solid city wall, which is three feet high, will still be a natural danger that they cannot overcome.
Unless the Huns get a jar of forbidden things from the Shaofu, as long as the defenders have enough food and drinking water, they can last for half a year!
"Now we're just waiting for Guo Mao to cut off and create Yang!" Yi Zong said in his heart.
Now on the battlefield in Shanggu, the Huns have undoubtedly fallen into the Han family's dragnet.
As long as the cavalry led by Guo Mao can cut off the first line of the Zaoyang Great Wall on time, then a replica of the Battle of Mayi will be staged.
Of course, Shanggu is different from Mayi. The Huns in the encirclement still have a chance to escape if they are lucky enough!
Therefore, in fact, the enemy of Shanggu is no longer within the scope of Yi Zong's key thinking. If the Han family has assembled such a huge army and cannot eat more than 30,000 Huns, it would be too useless.
For Yi Zong now, what he has to consider is how to win at the minimum cost, then quickly go north and continue to eat the Yuyang enemies. (To be continued.)
