The defeat of the Sichuan army was so tragic. It was not just that they were driven out of Jinsha City, but they were also chased out by the enemy from their own camp. In the end, they were defeated thousands of miles away and were completely defeated.
In the end, the Sichuan army that followed Yang Zhao and generals Lu You and fled was less than 10,000 people. The army of more than 100,000 people died, was injured, and scattered. This battle was so tragic that it was probably the worst in the history of Sichuan.
It has been rare since.
Until they got rid of the enemy's pursuit, the Sichuan army generals didn't figure out who this Zhenjun who suddenly appeared was?
According to the Sichuan Army's intelligence reports, the rebels are all gathered in Jinsha City, and there are already more than 100,000 rebels in Jinsha City. It is impossible for them to have an army of more than 100,000 people ambushing outside the city. If that is the case,
Then why during the more than four months of the Battle of Jinsha City, they remained stationary and allowed the rebels in the city to support them, causing heavy casualties. Why didn't they attack from inside and outside earlier and win the war? There are too many unreasonable things in it.
place, this is something that people can’t understand no matter what.
So, who are this Zhenjun who descended from the sky? The answer is that they are indeed Zhenjun, and they are Zhenjun with pure blood. The person who led the Zhenjun this time is no one else, but the Yin who had previously found an excuse to leave Jinsha City.
Leave.
When Yinli led the Zhen army into Jinsha City, he immediately handed over the command to his deputy commander and went to the city lord's palace himself.
When Yinli appeared in the attic, Li Shu and the Yi Qianzhen generals looked at him with big eyes and small eyes, unable to react.
Didn't Yinli escape from the battlefield? Why did he suddenly come back?
One of the generals came to his senses first, shouted loudly, drew out his sword, strode toward Yinli, pointed the edge of his sword at his neck, and roared: "Traitor, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
Yin Li did not look at him. He looked at Li Shu, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, kowtowed forward, and said: "The last general Yin Li, please see the general. In the past few months, the general has suffered."
Li Shu stepped forward quickly, first pushing away the general who was pointing his sword at Yinli, then pulled him up from the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Yin...Yinli, where on earth have you been?
I've been waiting for you so hard!" As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.
Seeing this, Yinli also cried, and then told Li Shu everything about his whereabouts in the past few months. After Yinli left Jinsha City, he did not go to Zhiyue, and he knew very well that he would not go to Zhiyue.
The more you can't borrow troops at all, the more time you go there will be a waste of time.
He transferred to Jinggu County first. In Jinggu County, he used Li Shu's banner to recruit troops.
Originally, he planned to recruit tens of thousands of people and bring them back to Jinsha City, but things did not go as smoothly as he imagined. First of all, he was not Li Shu after all, and his prestige among Zhen people was far less than that of Li Shu.
Even under the banner of Li Shu, there are only a few loyal people who are willing to join him. Secondly, he wants money but no money, he wants armaments but no armaments, and there is nothing attractive about him. More than half a month has passed, and Yinli has recruited
He only had a few hundred manpower, which was far from the tens of thousands he expected.
However, things soon took a turn for the better. The first turning point was that the Sichuan army besieged Jinsha City, which resulted in the Feng State's failure to deliver all the materials, money and food to aid the Zhen army.
Yinli was overjoyed after hearing the news, and immediately brought his cronies and the hundreds of newly recruited people to receive the Feng Kingdom's armaments, money and food on Li Shu's behalf. In this way, Li Shu had the most basic capital to recruit troops.
.
The second turning point was also given to him by the Sichuan Army, which was that Yang Zhaoqiang recruited Zhen people to join the army and used them as cannon fodder to attack Jinsha City.
This incident aroused widespread indignation among the people of Zhenren. People hated what the Sichuan people had done so much that they couldn't understand their hatred even if they ate their flesh or swallowed their bones.
The anger among the Zhen people made Yinli realize that his opportunity had come. He once again raised Li Shu's banner, shouted the slogan "Restore Zhen Kingdom, expel the Sichuan bandits", and recruited troops in Jinggu County.
But this time, the Zhen people responded positively. Even if they were not given military pay, food, or armaments, they were willing to prepare their own weapons and food, join the rebels, and fight to the death with the Sichuan people.
In just half a month, tens of thousands of Zhen people came to join the rebel army, and people who defected were still coming in a steady stream. Many Zhen people even came from Canglin to Guping those who
Counties near Sichuan traveled thousands of miles and traveled day and night. Because there were too many people coming to join the army, such an opportunity was too rare. Yinli was reluctant to rush back to Jinsha City immediately, so he stayed in Jinggu County for a long time.
.
The reason why he dared to stay in Jinggu County for a long time was the third turning point given to him by the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army had learned the lesson of the previous defeat when it divided its forces and did not dare to disperse its forces anymore. When the Sichuan Army decided to besiege Jinsha City, it almost
All the Sichuan troops in the three counties of Zhenxi are concentrated in Jinsha City. As a result, Jinggu County has almost become an empty county. There are very few Sichuan troops left in the county. This gives Yinli the opportunity to make the rebels bigger and stronger.
time and space.
At this time, Yinli could be said to have taken advantage of the right time, location, people and important people. People from all over the country came to seek refuge in a steady stream, asking for military equipment, money and food.
Without external pressure, he just focused on recruiting troops and training soldiers in Jinggu County.
In four months, he recruited a total of 150,000 Zhenren, and there is also a very important point. Zhenguo has always implemented the policy of all people as soldiers. Zhenren's individual combat capabilities are extremely strong, even if they are
The recruits who have just arrived do not need to do any training at all. They can pick up weapons and charge into battle. Yinli only needs to train Zhenjun in formation drills and strict military discipline.
Of course, for more than four months, Yinli has been sending scouts to inquire about the fighting situation in Jinsha City. He can also understand the hardships of the Zhenjun defending the city, but since it has been delayed until so late, he simply
Wait until the end, and wait until the soldiers on both sides have fought to the end, then launch a sudden attack. In this way, he will definitely annihilate the main force of the Sichuan Army.
After the Battle of Jinsha City had been going on for four months, Yinli led the 150,000 elite Zhen army trained by him to sneak into Bainan County from Jinggu County without anyone noticing, and then quietly
Sneak near Sands City.
If the Sichuan army did not launch a final attack on Jinsha City, given Yinli's personality, he would probably continue to stand still and wait. This is how Yinli suddenly appeared in Jinsha City with an army of 150,000 people.
After he finished speaking, Li Shu and all the Zhen generals all let out a long sigh of relief. It turned out that Yinli did not escape before the battle, but found another way to recruit troops in Jinggu County.
Many people among the Zhen generals had a 180-degree change in their impression of Yinli. If the first time he defeated the Sichuan army was luck, then this time it was definitely a manifestation of his strength.
His ability to control the overall battle situation and seize opportunities cannot be said to be unprecedented, but he is definitely the best among the commanders in the world, and few can surpass him.
Li Shu looked at Yinli who couldn't get up from his knees, his face was changing and his eyes were moving constantly.
To be able to win this battle, Yinli had the greatest contribution. His actions were far better than his own. Another important point was that his own troops had been defeated, but Yinli had 150,000 elite soldiers in his hands.
So are these soldiers and horses his Yinli's or his own?
Seeing that Li Shu had not spoken for a long time, all the generals looked at him in confusion. After a while, Li Shu, who had always been silent, suddenly asked: "Yinli, where is your military talisman now?"
Yinli didn't even think about it and said immediately: "Here it is!" As he spoke, he carefully took out a red silk package from his arms and held it in his hand.
Li Shu's eyes flashed, and he immediately took the red silk package, opened it, and revealed the military talisman inside.
It was a bronze lion. It was not very exquisite, but it was of extraordinary significance. Whoever owned it was equivalent to having the command of an army of 150,000 people.
"Our army's military talismans are really crudely made. I think it's time to replace them with new ones." After saying this, Li Shuke did not return the military talismans to Yinli, but casually put them into his own arms, and then
He shouted to the surrounding generals as if nothing was wrong: "The Sichuan army has been defeated. All generals follow me and chase them out of the city. This time, we must wipe out the Sichuan bandits and avenge our brothers who died in the battle!"
"Kill -" all the generals shouted in unison, following Li Shu and rushing down to the attic.
Several Zhen generals stayed behind and did not leave immediately. After Li Shu led the people away, they came to Yin Li one after another, helped Yin Li up who was still kneeling on the ground, and whispered: "General Yin, come to the rescue.
It’s too late, why didn’t you come over earlier?”
Yin Li frowned and said sternly: "If you came here earlier, our soldiers were not properly trained and could only drive away the Sichuan army. But if you come now, we can completely annihilate the Sichuan army."
"That's true, but the general feels uncomfortable in his heart. Don't you know, General Yin? If you had been even half a step too late, the general would have... killed himself with his sword."
Ah! When Yinli heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Seeing the surprised look on his face, the loyal general whispered: "So, General Yin, don't blame the general for taking away your military talisman. Now the general is afraid from the bottom of his heart. I believe that in a few days, he will
I will return the military talisman to you."
"Oh!" Yinli nodded blankly and said nothing more.
The Battle of Jinsha City lasted for more than four months, and finally ended with the Sichuan Army's defeat. This battle had a far-reaching impact. After this battle, the Sichuan Kingdom completely lost control of the three counties of Zhenxi.
In the next few months, the Zhen army was unstoppable and took over the two counties of Fantiao and Jinggu. At this point, Li Shu's forces who rebelled in Zhendi finally had their own foundation. Using the three counties of Zhenxi as the basis, they recruited troops aggressively
, expanding eastward, its momentum has reached an unstoppable point.
The repeated setbacks in Zhenxi's suppression of the rebellion finally made the Sichuan court realize the seriousness of the situation and feel strong pressure. If the rebellion could not be suppressed, the rebels would not only control the entire Zhendi, but might even counterattack into Sichuan.
