How big a person's heart is, how big the world can be tolerated. If Liu Ling's original heart only tolerated the family love that was rare in this era, he only wanted to protect the things in the world that could make him feel warm. In the beginning,
At that time, the things he wanted to protect were so simple. Perhaps it was because his parents gave him so much affection in his previous life, but it was rare to feel the warmth of family affection in this world, so Liu Ling paid special attention to family affection.
And as the family affection that he carefully protected disappeared, Liu Ling's heart gradually changed. It can be said that this is the wireless expansion of the world, from one village to one town, it has broadened to boundless. Sometimes Liu Ling wants to
, was the rupture between me and my second brother caused by myself? If I had not promoted my second brother to that position at the beginning, maybe the two of them would still have the same brotherly love as before, right? But even in the last life,
Regardless of this life, there are no assumptions in life. Now that he has reached this point, Liu Ling will not regret the decisions he made before. Sometimes, the true meaning of some things can only be discovered after experiencing them.
At this time, Liu Ling's inner world was so vast that perhaps even he himself had never really touched it. He actually never thought that when his obsession with protecting family relationships quietly transformed into establishing a peaceful country, this
The world is destined to change!
Liu Ling once said a sentence. This sentence was said by him unintentionally, but it is of profound significance to the world. But the person who heard this sentence was Liu Mei'er, the one whose whole heart and the whole world were filled with only
Liu Ling is a little girl. Therefore, she did not realize the domineering nature in this sentence. Liu Ling said, since I can't adapt to the world, then let the world adapt to me.
Since the world is in chaos, let me end this chaos.
In this chaotic era, the people actually do not have much distinction between national boundaries. Today, Hou Shu invaded and occupied a state and a county, so the people here will be replaced by Shu people. In a few days, the Zhou army will come to kill
, the people here have become Zhou people again. Now that the Han army has come, the people here have become Han people. In the hearts of the people, no matter who is the emperor, they still have to pay taxes?
The common people have adapted to the frequent changes of nationality. Likewise, they have long been numb. Some people once said that the Han people have too much sheep nature. To put it bluntly, they have too much servility. The reason why the Central Plains is frequently invaded by foreign nations is because they lack that kind of habit.
The wolf nature of blood. In fact, such remarks are not very wrong. After all, as powerful as the Qin Dynasty and as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, they always behave passively when facing foreigners. In the world of the Han people, there seems to be only one person who is called militaristic.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed domineering power when facing the grassland peoples. Perhaps at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, he was not lacking in wolf nature. But as life became more comfortable, the wolf nature gradually disappeared.
Although what Liu Ling is doing now has just begun, the purpose is very clear. It is very simple. What he wants to do is to change the sheep into a wolf!
It is still a secret that Yaozhou was occupied by the Han army. This is a secret that can give people a fatal blow. When Liu Ling received Ji Chengyun's secret report, he was already brewing a plan in his mind to completely defeat Xie Jun's Yongxing army. This
The basis for the success of the plan is that Xie Jun did not know that Yaozhou had been lost!
One hundred and forty thousand Zhou troops came in force. I thought Liu Ling would intercept the Zhou troops as they crossed the river, but until the Zhou troops had completely crossed the river, there was still no trace of the Han troops. Xie Jun thought for a while and then figured it out. The reason is that the Han army is insufficient in strength!
After the Battle of Huazhou, although the Han army won a complete victory, the Han army also lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses. The loss of 20,000 soldiers was not a big blow to the Yongxing army. But the Han army was different. When the Han army came from afar, the number of soldiers and horses was determined by its national strength. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops invaded the Zhou Dynasty, which was the largest number of troops that the Han Dynasty could mobilize. Liu Ling led an army of 100,000 people south to attack Huazhou and lost two people. After 10,000 troops, he could not replenish his troops as quickly as the Yongxing Army. If there were 20,000 troops less, it would be too small. He could not recruit troops on the spot to replenish the troops.
And what Liu Ling wants to fight is not just the Yongxing Army. Since he wants to destroy the entire Great Zhou, he will have to face an army of no less than one million in the hands of the generals from all over the Great Zhou.
After understanding this, Xie Jun became more confident in taking back Huazhou. There are millions of people in Yongzhou, Yaozhou, Shangzhou, and Qianzhou together, and among them, there are no less than 300,000 men who can be recruited into the army. He has many People can be used, but one of Liu Ling's troops is dead. This is his biggest advantage. Even if his army of 140,000 cannot completely defeat Liu Ling this time, he can defeat Liu Ling in a short time as long as he returns to Yongzhou. Within a short period of time, a team of more than 100,000 people was once again gathered.
Therefore, Xie Jun was no longer cautious. Although Ma Wen's left army was blocked in Tongzhou and could not join the army to form an encirclement of Huazhou, he was still confident.
After crossing the river, Xie Jun changed his strategy. His 100,000-strong Chinese army formed a formation, vast and powerful, and assumed a posture that was sure to win.
Still thirty miles away from Huazhou, Xie Jun ordered the army to set up camp. Then he sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the movements of the Han army in Huazhou, and then gave the right army general Dongfang Liang an order to speed up the march. Since the left army could not Forget it if it arrives as scheduled. As long as the right army joins the central army on time and confronts Liu Ling's 80,000 Han army with a force of 140,000, the Zhou army has a better chance of winning.
In the evening, the scouts reported that the Han army was already waiting outside Huazhou City, and it seemed that they wanted to hold on to Huazhou City. The Han army also set up four large camps outside Huazhou City, each with about 15,000 men and horses. Looking past, the Han army camp was brightly lit and continuous.
After listening to the scout's report, Xie Jun sneered in his heart, thinking that Liu Ling was nothing more than that. He didn't even have the courage to attack the Zhou army head-on while the Zhou army was tired from far away. Now that the offense and defense were switching, the Han army's courage seemed to have become much weaker. But when you think about it, it's no wonder that this time I brought an army of 180,000, which was said to be 300,000. It was so impressive to divide the troops into three groups. The Han army had few soldiers and would not dare to take the initiative to attack anyway.
Early on the next morning, Xie Junsheng was promoted to the general of the camp and ordered a hundred thousand troops to line up in formation and march toward Huazhou with great momentum. One hundred thousand troops marched in formation in the wilderness, flags fluttering and people shouting. , the scene is so spectacular.
Three miles away from Huazhou, Zhou's army stopped. One hundred thousand troops formed a square formation of one hundred squares. In order to deal with the trebuchets of Liu Ling and Han's army, Xie Jun also took great pains this time. He gathered the craftsmen of Yongzhou, It took more than a month to build the heavy crossbow. The arrows used in these heavy crossbows were lengthened and heavier, and the range was increased by about 100 meters. He was confident that as long as the Han army's trebuchet carriage was set up, it would be bombarded by hundreds of heavy crossbows. of fragmentation.
After the formation of one hundred thousand troops was completed, Xie Jun sent his general Xia Houle to lead three thousand troops and horses to call for formation. Then he sat in front of the formation and watched how the Han army responded. However, Xia Houle led three thousand troops and shouted in front of the formation.
For a full hour, the Han army stayed behind the densely packed enemy horses and refused to go out to fight. Xia Houle shouted until his throat smoked out. He cursed several times with all the curses he could think of, but still no Han army came out to fight.
Xia Houle hung his spear on the victory hook, reached out and took the water bag handed over by his own soldiers and took a deep drink.
"Damn it, are these Han people men? I scold them so much, but no one with blood dares to come out and fight."
Xia Houle waved his hands impatiently and said, "Go ahead and scold them. I don't believe they won't come out!"
The soldiers of the Zhou army were already dry with curses, but they did not dare to disobey the general's order, so they could only think of words to curse. Another hour passed, and the Han army seemed to be collectively deaf to their provocation.
He ignored them. Even in front of the Zhou army calling for troops and horses, the Han army behind the horse actually started to eat in a carefree manner.
Zhou Jun had been shouting and cursing for two hours, four hours. Although there was no fighting, he was still hungry for swearing. Seeing that the soldiers had no strength to even curse, Xie Jun had to ask Xia Houle to withdraw and replace him with another
Yang Cha, the leader of the Han army, continued to provoke. Yang Cha replaced Xia Houle with 3,000 troops and repeated what Xia Houle had done before in a boring way. Until the sun turned, the Han army still refused to fight.
He originally wanted to rely on field battles to consume a large number of Han troops, but Liu Ling did not dare to come out at all. Xie Jun also lost interest. Seeing that his soldiers were already starving, he had to lead his troops back to the camp.
On the third day, Xie Jun once again organized his army and marched three miles outside Huazhou City. He still wanted to draw the Han army out to fight. He was still scolding him bloodyly, but the Han army was like a deaf man and ignored it at all.
They yelled and cursed. The day passed quickly, and Zhou Jun returned without success.
On the fourth day, the Zhou army once again launched a large-scale attack. Xie Jun saw that the Han camp was heavily fortified, and the densely placed Ju horses were enough to block the Zhou army's cavalry. The continuous fire ballistas lined up behind the Ju horses seemed to be preparing for the attack.
The ferocious beasts that were unleashed prevented the Zhou army from approaching too close. Xie Jun knew what the Han army meant. The Han army just wanted to hold on and not consume the food and grass of the Zhou army. Now the positions of the Zhou army and the Han army were reversed, and it was the Han army's turn to not worry about food.
On the fifth day, 40,000 troops from the Right Route Army arrived late. Dongfang Liang met Xie Jun and reported that there was a Han army numbering in the thousands on the way that frequently harassed the army and delayed the journey. Seeing that all the troops and horses had arrived, Xie Jun
Jun was too lazy to care about Dongfang Liang's dereliction of duty. He was impatient with waiting, so he ordered the army to attack!
An army of more than 100,000 people divided into two groups, attacking the south gate camp of the Han army in Huazhou and attacking the east gate camp. The modified heavy crossbow cart was pushed slowly, trying to suppress it with the ultra-long range of the heavy crossbow.
The Han army's continuous fire ballistae and catapults.
The war is about to break out.
