Jin Pao is a Korean aristocrat with the surname Jin. He is also a general who sent Korean troops out of the western part of Hedong County during the Northern Xinjiang Campaign last year.?
I remember that in the 19th year of Hongde, more than 200,000 Korean soldiers attacked Hedong County of Wei State. Among them, part of the Korean army sent troops from Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, while the other part sent troops from Jinyang County in Taiyuan County, South Korea.
The coach of the latter Korean army was Jin Fu.
At that time, Jin Mao's advance was overwhelming. In just half a month, he captured the western half of Hedong County in Wei State and pushed the front to Anyi.
At that time, the Northern First Army under the command of Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace of Wei, accomplished their only feat in the entire Northern Xinjiang campaign: defending Anyi.
After all, the Northern First Army had a strength of 100,000 soldiers. Even though the outcome of the battle with the Korean army was not optimistic at that time, it still managed to hold on to Anyi. Otherwise, the entire western part of Hedong County might have been lost.
Of course, in fact, the Wei army finally defended Anyi at that time, and this was not entirely due to the Northern Army. In fact, the biggest contributor should be the 20,000 Sichuan-Luo cavalry sent to Hedong County by the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.
According to what the Wei Ministry of War later learned, the Wei army in the west of Hedong County was in an extremely bad situation at that time and completely lost control of the countryside. To put it simply, that is to say, almost all the countryside outside the city was occupied by the Han army.
The cavalry was under control, and the Wei army could only huddle in the city and did not dare to fight.
At that time, the North Army, which was huddled in Anyi, had no idea where the Korean troops were stationed and where they were planning to attack. At one time, even grain transport convoys were frequently attacked by Korean cavalry.
At this time, the Sichuan and Luo cavalry arrived in Hedong County, and the heroic Sheang and Sheang warriors launched a fierce battle with the Korean cavalry in the field.
Especially the subsequent Jieshan Cavalry Battle. Eight thousand Sichuan and Luo cavalry and about 10,000 Korean cavalry broke out at the foot of Jieshan Mountain in the northwest of Anyi. After a full day of fierce fighting, both the Sichuan and Luo cavalry and the Korean cavalry were injured.
withdraw troops.
It is said that nearly 20,000 horses were killed in that war.
Of course, in terms of the merits of the Ministry of War, the Jieshan War was a rare victory of the Northern First Army during the entire Northern Xinjiang campaign. At that time, some generals of the Northern First Army said: Under their leadership, the Northern First Army achieved a crucial victory.
, severely damaging the Korean cavalry troops.
But in fact, the North's First Army only sent out an infantry of about 30,000 people to attack the Korean cavalry from the side.
What's even more ridiculous is that because the 30,000 infantrymen of the Northern First Army were discovered by South Korean scouts at that time, the South Korean cavalry who were fighting with the Sichuan and Luo cavalry in the Jieshan area quickly retreated. Therefore, the Sichuan and Luo cavalry caught the opportunity and took advantage of the victory.
There was a pursuit.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, in the Jieshan Cavalry Battle, the Northern First Army simply frightened the Korean Army. Not to mention being the protagonist of that battle, they were not even qualified to play a supporting role.
It was the soldiers of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance who really made a huge sacrifice in the Jieshan Cavalry Battle. It was these allies of Wei who saved the Wei army's unfavorable situation in the western part of Hedong County.
After the Jieshan Cavalry Battle, the Sichuan-Luo cavalry more quickly took back the outfield controlled by the Korean cavalry in the western part of Hedong County. At that time, it was said that dozens of Sichuan-Luo cavalry groups, with approximately 200 to 300 people, were wandering in the western part of Hedong County.
, competing with the Korean Qingqi that met head-on for control of the outfield, and restoring the Wei army's food routes and communications.
It can be said that the contribution of the Sichuan-Luo cavalry was the most important reason why the Northern Army was able to survive the difficult early stages of the campaign.
But even so, the Wei army was still at a disadvantage in the west of Hedong County at that time. To put it harshly, it was just that the Northern First Army was struggling to survive with the help of the Sichuan-Luo cavalry and desperately defended Anyi. As for the counterattack, I believe that the senior officials of the Northern First Army at that time The general didn't even think about it.
Later, as General Jiang Bi, a retainer of the Wei family in Tianshui, led the Northern Army to support the western part of Hedong County, the situation of the Wei army changed significantly.
If the Sichuan and Luo cavalry made Han general Jin Bo feel troublesome, then Jiang Bi's Northern Army made Jin Bo afraid of three points.
It's no wonder, after all, Jiang Bi's fighting method is too brutal. It seems that his only tactic is to make full preparations before the war, and then when the war breaks out, the entire army will press on Jiang Bi to attack Quwo. This is how the three northern armies spent a whole day. Hundreds of long ladders were built over the course of a day. During the subsequent siege, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Third Army of the North swarmed up the city wall. Even Jiang Bi went into battle himself, so that the Korean army could not withstand such a ferocious attack by Jiang Bi. , when the morale of the soldiers under his command was low, they lost the city in a daze.
Momentum, this is the biggest characteristic of Jiang Bi's three armies in the North.
In fact, the strength of the soldiers of the Northern Third Army is not much better than that of the Northern First Army. In fact, they are not as good as the Northern First Army in terms of the sophistication of weapons and equipment. However, the Northern Third Army has the bloody spirit of advancing without retreating and considering death as home. , but it made the Korean army extremely afraid of Jiang Bi.
It is incredible that the three northern armies under Jiang Bi can make even the Korean cavalry move around.
As an infantryman, the Northern Army is proud of itself.
However, the disadvantages of this method of warfare are also obvious. For example, even during the last battle in Northern Xinjiang, Jiang Bi was sure to win every battle, but in the end, he only had 30,000 soldiers left out of his 50,000 soldiers.
Yes, they won the battle but suffered 20,000 casualties, which was comparable to the casualties of the Northern First Army, which had hardly fought any victories on its own during the entire Northern Xinjiang campaign.
Of course, such a huge loss of troops has a lot to do with the weapons and equipment of the Beisan soldiers. After all, this army was the only one among all the armies of the Wei State that still used bronze weapons and equipment, even this year. , Bronze weapons and equipment still account for the majority of the Northern Army, while the other part are iron weapons that the Northern Army seized from the Korean soldiers they defeated.
Yes, the Korean troops faced by the Northern Army, like other armies of the Wei State, almost all used sophisticated iron weapons.
Under such circumstances, it is really surprising that the three armies of the People's Republic of China can still gain an advantage.
Therefore, Jiang Bi's reputation gradually increased in the Wei Kingdom, and he was gradually called a fierce general by many Wei people and was highly respected.
Even Jin Bo, who was known as one of the ten tycoons of Beiyuan, was a little confused by Jiang Bi at that time, so that the advantage that the Korean army had gained in the western part of Hedong County was gradually equalized by Jiang Bi.
Jin Mao felt very uncomfortable about this.
You must know that Jiang Bi defected to the Wei State from the far west with the Wei family in Longxi. He was unknown in the Central Plains, but Jin Pao was a Korean general known as the Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains. With such status, he actually Being suppressed by an "unknown" Wei general, how could Jin Yao be convinced?
Therefore, a while ago, when Jin Pao learned that Wei General Jiang Bi was attacking Pingyang, he prepared his troops to leave Pilao Pass and sneak attack Linfen, the rear defense of Jiang Bi's three northern armies. However, when he learned that Wei had another army
When the army was rushing toward the west of Hedong County, Jin Kuai immediately gave up the idea of sending troops.
Different from the unknown Wei general Jiang Bi before the first northern Xinjiang campaign, the commander of this Wei army who recently came to Hedong County to participate in the war is a famous Wei man in the Central Plains, Wei Gongzi Ji Run!
Even though Zhao Hongrun has never participated in the war between Wei and South Korea, his reputation in South Korea is not low. After all, the Sichuan Luo cavalry who fought equally with the Korean cavalry in the Jieshan cavalry battle was built after this Wei Gongzi Ji.
After Run conquered Sanchuan.
In Sanchuan County, they defeated the Sichuan Rong people who had lived there for nearly a hundred years, and used infantry to severely damage the cavalry. This battle alone was enough to make Korea fear the Wei Gongzi Run.
What's more, this Wei Gongzi Ji Run was one of the two lieutenants appointed by Qi King Lu Xi during the Four Kingdoms' campaign against Chu last year. It must be said that that battle shocked the entire Central Plains.
Afterwards, everyone was talking about whether the Chu State might have been destroyed if Lu Xi, the King of Qi, had not been ill during the war against the Chu State at that time. One can imagine what kind of desperate situation the Chu State was in at that time.
In the eyes of the Wei people, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun first became famous when he led the army to repel Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, who invaded Yingshui County of Wei State when he was fourteen years old. However, in Korea, when the Koreans learned about Wei Gongzi Ji Run's name, it was
In the Jieshan cavalry battle, after all, the Sichuan Luo cavalry participated in the battle as an ally of Wei, a friend of King Su's line, etc., which surprised the Koreans: it turned out that Wei had surrendered to the Yinrong of Sanchuan.
And just when they gradually began to pay attention to the Wei Gongzi Ji Run, the Wei Qin Sanchuan Battle broke out. In the Hangu battle, the Wei Gongzi Ji Run wiped out the entire Qin army of more than 200,000 people. This move not only scared Sanchuan.
The Jie tribesmen in the county hurriedly surrendered, which frightened the Korean army and quickly sent the news back to the country. As a result, the Korean army, which had already experienced logistical problems at the time, finally decided to temporarily suspend its troops.
But now, the Wei commander-in-chief, Wei Gongzi Ji Run, who killed more than 200,000 Qin troops in the Battle of Hangu, has led his elite soldiers to the west of Hedong County. Even people like Jin Wei feel that
A great deal of pressure.
He would not underestimate the other party because of his age. After all, the Wei Gongzi Ji Run was not an unknown person like Jiang Bi in China.
Therefore, as early as when King Su's army entered Tang County, the scouts of the Korean army had already sent the news of the arrival of this army to Jin Pao.
When Jin Miao guessed that Wei Gongzi Ji Run was trying to lead his army to attack Pi Laoguan, he made corresponding preparations.
At this time, Jin Biao did not have many troops, only about 20,000 men. However, because of the steep terrain of Pilao Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he was confident that even if 100,000 Wei troops stormed the pass, he would not be able to attack it.
Able to hold on safely.
Therefore, every day he looked forward to the Wei army attacking Pilao Pass from the several-mile-long Yangchang Valley Road on the west side of Pilao Pass, and looking forward to turning this Yangchang Valley Road into a cemetery where the Wei army was buried.
But after waiting for three days, the Wei army stationed in Tang County never made any move to advance. On the contrary, the defenders he deployed in Yishan and Wangwushan were successively killed by unknown people.
This aroused Jin Mao's suspicion: Could it be that Wei Gongzi Ji Run did not plan to advance from the Yangchang Valley Road, but was planning to find a breakthrough from Yishan and Wangwushan?
After realizing this, Jin Mao immediately sent additional troops to the two mountains. After hearing about this, Zhao Hongrun also sent two elite thousand-man teams to infiltrate Yishan and Wangwushan.
The Battle of Pilao Pass between Wei and Han began with the scout battle between the two mountains.8
