It was Ji Chengyun who captured Yaozhou with only more than 3,000 cavalry. Since the war with Zhou Dynasty, the more than 3,000 men and horses of his vanguard battalion have never appeared on the frontal battlefield. However, every battle was won.
, all of which have their contribution! Whether it is against the right Weiwei, against the Black Flag Army, the Gray Army, or against the Zuo Zhenwei, Ji Chengyun leads the forward battalion and always strikes the enemy when they least expect it.
.The Zuo Zhenwei's Dazhai in Qingfeng Mountain was captured by the Pioneer Battalion.
This time, the Yaozhou soldiers and horses led by Ma Wen besieged Tongzhou. Ji Chengyun led the cavalry of the Pioneer Battalion to cause trouble on the Zhou army's supply line. Nine times out of ten, the Zhou army's grain transport team was burned to death by them.
It was clean and tidy. On the current day, Ji Chengyun saw a group of three thousand Zhou army infantry walking southwest along the official road, and he guessed that these were the troops sent by Ma Wen back to Yaozhou to collect food.
Ji Chengyun had an idea and set up an ambush halfway. He killed all three thousand Zhou army infantry in one fell swoop. Then he changed into Zhou army's clothes and drove straight to Yaozhou overnight. Yaozhou couldn't be defended because it was far away from Huazhou.
Although it is only more than 300 miles away, the Han army is surrounded by the Zhou army in Huazhou and cannot be killed. Therefore, although there are not many people defending the city in Yaozhou, everyone does not think that the Han army can break through the eighteenth century.
The siege of Wanzhou Army came to Yaozhou. In addition, Yaozhou recruited a large number of new soldiers, there were too many new faces, and Ma Wen pressed for food too tightly. In three or two days, a team returned to Yaozhou to press for food. Who would recognize them?
There were so many people. Ji Chengyun seized the opportunity and captured Yaozhou, one of the important towns of the Yongxing Army, with only three thousand cavalry!
After capturing Yaozhou, Ji Chengyun did not dare to say anything and sealed the four gates to ensure that the news that Yaozhou was occupied by the Han army would not spread. What he was afraid of was that his three thousand cavalry, who were good at field raids, would not be able to defend Yaozhou City.
.At the same time, he used secret spies from the Supervisory Council to notify Mao Li, the defender of Tongzhou, about the news that Yaozhou had been captured, and also informed Liu Ling, who was commanding the army in Huazhou for a decisive battle with Zhou Yongxing's army!
After getting the news, Liu Ling was particularly happy. He divided his troops into five thousand and sent Zhao Er to rush to Yaozhou overnight. Zhao Er knew that Ji Chengyun had few soldiers and was worried that if the news was leaked and the Zhou army counterattacked, Ji Chengyun would not be able to defend Yaozhou, so he led all his troops to Yaozhou.
After getting the equipment, he traveled day and night, and arrived in Yaozhou in just two days and nights. At the same time, he also brought a secret order from Liu Ling.
Then Zhao Er, Ji Chengyun and Zhao Er read Liu Ling's secret order together. After reading it, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, saying that the prince's trick of using the enemy's plan to the enemy was really extraordinary. The so-called "match the enemy's plan" is not a response based on the enemy's plan.
, but Liu Ling came up with a good strategy to defeat the enemy based on Ji Chengyun killing all the Zhou army's food soldiers.
After knowing the prince's plan, Ji Chengyun still sent the prince's order to Tongzhou through the spies of the Supervisory Council. After getting the order, Tongzhou guard Maoli was also overjoyed. He knew that once this strategy was successful, it would not only solve the problem of Tongzhou
Encirclement, it is even possible to kill Yaozhou's 40,000 soldiers and horses!
The day after Zhao Er arrived in Yaozhou, a team of thousands of people wearing Zhou army uniforms escorted a hundred carts of grain and grass towards Tongzhou. The road was surprisingly quiet, and interceptors often popped up to intercept them.
The Han army that killed the Zhou army's grain transport team would definitely not come out to cause trouble. In the eyes of many people, perhaps the number of this Zhou army was enough to deter the elusive Han army from making rash moves. After all, there were always more than 4,000 people in the army.
, not something that can be eaten easily.
After walking for five full days, the team transporting food slowly arrived at the Zhou army's camp outside Tongzhou. When they heard that the food and grass had finally arrived, the Zhou army's camp, which had been without food for two days, suddenly burst into cheers.
.Although these one hundred carts of grain and grass are only enough to feed more than 30,000 people and horses for four or five days, everyone feels that since one batch can be transported, the next batch will not be far away.
Marvin led a dozen soldiers to welcome him out of the gate of the camp. Seeing these thousands of soldiers who were dusty and blood-stained on their uniforms, Marvin could not suppress the excitement in his heart. How could he not be excited? It had been twenty days.
, and finally waited for the food and grass to be delivered. If the food and grass cannot be transported again, I am afraid that the army of more than 30,000 people will have to retreat to Yaozhou in embarrassment. In that case, I am afraid that Jiedu Commander Xie Jun will send a supervising team to cut off his head.
Bar?
If it weren't for Ma Wen's suppression, the Zhou army in the camp would have swarmed up and snatched away all the hundred carts of food and grass.
Marvin saw a general riding a black war horse walking towards him. Seeing that the general was still holding the visor on his helmet and did not dismount, he suddenly felt uneasy. But soon, when he
When he saw a bag of grain falling from the carriage, revealing rice that was as flawless as white jade, his uneasiness was replaced by joy. He did not even intend to pursue the general who did not dismount from his horse and salute, and planned to reward him with something not very good.
Practical things, such as capturing a few beauties and rewarding him after conquering Tongzhou, or rewarding him with a thousand taels of silver?
Suddenly, the general riding the black horse began to accelerate. He took off a heavy horse spear from the victory hook and held it in his hand, making an attack posture!
"Stop! Get off your horse!"
Ma Wen's personal soldiers rushed over and tried to stop the general, but he was kicked away by the general. At this moment, the Zhou army who were transporting grain suddenly set fire to the grain carts and drove away the horses that were pulling them.
Rushed into the Zhou army's camp! Burning carriages were everywhere, being pulled by panicked horses. Soon the tents were set on fire one by one. The soldiers of the Zhou army who were about to unload the carriages had no weapons at all.
, he was hacked to death on the ground not long after by the soldiers transporting food.
More than four thousand soldiers transporting grain suddenly raised the banner of the Han army and rushed into the Zhou army's camp with murderous intent. They killed everyone they saw and set fire everywhere!
Zhao Eryi picked up a Zhou soldier, then put down his horse again and aimed it straight at Ma Wen's chest. One of Ma Wen's soldiers tried hard to throw Ma Wen to the ground, but he himself was killed by Zhao Eryi.
Er Yi pierced through. Zhao Er raised his arm and flicked the body of the soldier away, then turned his horse and killed Ma Wen again.
This change was so sudden that the Zhou army was completely unprepared!
They had been hungry for two days, and they really didn't expect that those who sent life-saving food and grass would be Han soldiers or demons from hell.
More than 4,000 Han troops quickly invaded the Zhou army's camp, and many Zhou soldiers who were still resting in tents were killed by them. The company camp was five or six miles away, and the Zhou army behind them still couldn't figure out what was going on.
The Han army had already killed them. Seeing the Chinese-character flags fluttering in the camp, the Zhou army finally reacted. Under the command of the generals of each battalion, more and more Zhou soldiers grabbed their weapons and rushed forward.
Seeing the fire in Zhou's camp, Maoli, the defender of Tongzhou, ordered the city gates to be opened, and personally led 10,000 troops to fight out. The Han army, which had held back its breath, looked murderous, but the Zhou army was so hungry that they could not even use their weapons.
I couldn't hold it anymore. For the Zhou army, this was a war destined to be defeated. The besieged Han army was well fed, but the besieged Zhou army was hungry. Ma Wen should have withdrawn long ago, but he
No, that's why the failure came so suddenly and violently.
Without strength, how could the Zhou army withstand the Han army's front and rear attacks? Although most of Maoli's men were new soldiers, these people fought with the wind as if they had divine help. They started to conquer the first camp, only to
It took an hour to see the flags of the Han army in front. The two Han armies together only had 14,000 men and horses, but they killed the Zhou army, which had more than 35,000 men and horses, leaving behind their helmets and armor.
Ma Wen was stabbed to death by Zhao Eryi. Zhao Er's soldiers rushed over and defeated the Zhou army soldiers who wanted to take back the general's body. Zhao Er dismounted, chopped off Ma Wen's head, held it in his hand, and turned on his horse.
With Ma Wen's head in hand, they were rushing back and forth in the Zhou army's camp.
"Marvin is dead!"
"Marvin is dead!"
"Put down your weapons and don't kill the prisoners!"
Following Zhao Er, the soldiers of the Han army shouted loudly. The battle did not last long. When the Han army, attacked from two sides, killed the Zhou army's camp and merged, the Zhou army lost its fighting spirit and its leader.
They began to surrender, just like a plague that spread very quickly. After the first Zhou army dropped their weapons on the ground, more and more Zhou army soldiers chose to put down their weapons and kneel on the ground.
This battle went so smoothly that even Zhao Er did not expect that he could easily break the siege of Tongzhou and kill Xie Jun's general Ma Wen. The Zhou army of more than 35,000 people was defeated by the Han Dynasty.
The army killed only more than 2,000 people, and the rest all chose to surrender. It’s not their fault. They were hungry, so what could they do to fight the enemy? Just imagine how many people could survive without food for two days.
weapon?
The difficulty the Han army had to face now was that they were not facing more than 30,000 enemies fighting to the death, but more than 30,000 hungry prisoners. Zhao Er discussed with Mao Li and sent Zhou who was willing to surrender.
The soldiers of the Zhou army who were not willing to continue fighting and chose to go home were taken in by the army and released after being given dry food for three days. Although Tongzhou had food, it could not feed the more than 30,000 mouths that suddenly increased.
And if all the Zhou troops who surrendered were killed, I am afraid that no Zhou troops would be willing to surrender in the future.
The vast majority of people who chose to leave after receiving the food, more than 25,000 people. Perhaps some of them would turn around and go to Huazhou to look for the main force of the Zhou army after receiving the food. But Zhao Erhe
This is what Maoli wants. The left army has been defeated. Once this news is sent back to the main force of the Zhou army in Huazhou, the morale of the Zhou army will immediately become depressed!
Zhao Er and Maoli did not dare to use the Zhou soldiers who chose to stay. After sending these people to the school grounds to settle down, Mao Yuan led 7,000 troops to defend the city, while Zhao Er led more than 10,000 surrendering troops.
The Gray Army returned to Yaozhou. After all, Yaozhou did not have enough troops, and Ji Chengyun had other things to do. Zhao Er needed to take over the defense of Yaozhou.
In this way, one of the mighty three armies of the Yongxing Army was wiped out by the Han Army so easily!
Sometimes, the outcome of a war is so simple. (To be continued)
