Chapter 2097 The world will be settled, and there will be no dust
"Hahaha, look, this is so modest!" Yang Su said to Chunyucen and others.
Chun Yucen and other generals of the Han army also came forward to pay tribute. Of course, as Han Qinhu said, he led the Fenwu Army all the way eastward from Hetao, although he did not encounter any serious resistance.
, but just Han Qinhu's generous courage to lead his lone army to fight and outflank the enemy's rear was enough to make the Han generals admire him.
What's more, even though they went to Pingcheng in the severe winter, fought at Bailangdui at night, and sent light troops to Juyong, even though the Fenwu Army fought far away from the battlefields of the Central Plains, the battles they fought and the victories they achieved had already been publicized by the newspapers of the Han Dynasty.
It has been reported and has become an existence that many Han soldiers and even ordinary Han people talk about.
After all, for people of this era, the place where the Fenwu Army fought was too far away, but it had enough symbolic meaning.
Pingcheng is far away, but it is the birthplace of the Xianbei people. Therefore, the Fenwu Army surrounded Pingcheng and repelled the enemy's attacks time and time again. They were even able to send troops to attack Youzhou and Yanmen. Naturally, many people were fascinated by it.
Why was Huo Qubing praised by countless descendants at such a young age? Isn't it because this young general sealed the wolf in Xu and directly destroyed the lair of the Huns?
Although Pingcheng is no longer the focus of the Xianbei people's business, and is even just an almost forgotten city hanging outside the Great Wall, it still symbolizes the roots and glory of the Xianbei people just like the annihilated Shengle City on the grassland.
Therefore, even the Fenwu Army, even well-known Han generals such as Chun Yucen, are full of admiration. Fighting alone behind enemy lines may seem easy, but if you are not careful, you may be attacked from both sides or even be annihilated.
Is it that easy?
As for Han Qinhu, who was born in the north, he was an out-and-out Northern general, and even had some Xianbei blood in him, which is not so important. Heroes cherish heroes regardless of their origins, and Chun Yucen is not that small-minded chicken.
man of.
"Now all that's left is the Wild Goose Pagoda on the east side." Han Qinhu pointed to the east, "Yu Wenrang and about two to three hundred people were trapped here. He was so condescending that he might not be able to do anything to him for a while.
How about it."
"When the artillery comes up, everything will be wiped out." Yang Su narrowed his eyes.
Han Qinhu and Chunyucen couldn't help but shudder.
This guy is quite ruthless.
However, a quick victory is needed here at Yanmen Pass.
————————————
Li Xingchen received the news of the breakthrough of Yanmen Pass amidst the whistling of the Han army's catapults outside Yecheng. The Imperial Guards and the Fenwu Army met at Yanmen Pass. The enemy troops occupied the east side of Yanta. In the end, the Han army used artillery to attack the Yanta and surrounding areas.
The beacon tower and other buildings were all destroyed, and Yu Wenrang, the leader of Yanmen Pass, was buried in the ruins. When his body was finally dug out, it was in a state of disgrace.
But even so, Yang Su still cut off Yuwen Rang's head and spread the news throughout the countryside and prefectures around Jinyang.
They selected officials and first implemented Han laws to control people's livelihood and avoid social unrest. In addition, they also actively visited local talents and asked them to come out to take charge of the local overall situation. They also made preparations for the establishment of academies and scientific examinations in the future.
Now there is only one Jinyang left in the entire Hedong battlefield that is still struggling to support itself. Although not much news has come from the city, at this point, Yu Wenchun should also know that there is no way to save the Hedong battlefield. He even went eastward.
There is no chance that Yecheng and Yu Wenxian will meet up.
And Yu Wenxian, who was in Yecheng, was in no better situation than Yu Wenchun.
The Han army surrounded Yecheng for many days. Although they did not attack the city, artillery and Pili chariots were used in turns every day, especially the Pili chariots. When the Han army did not equip artillery, it was the main force in attacking the city, so it had a large inventory of stone.
There is a need to consume ammunition and the like, and the artillery and ammunition workshops closest to the frontline battlefields also have to go to Luoyang, Guanzhong, Huaibei and other places. Even though there is convenient water transportation, it still cannot cope with the long distance and the army has to save money.
use.
Of course, part of the reason is that the war in the northwest is now underway, and the Tuyuhun attack is quite urgent. The firearms produced in Guanzhong are given priority to the northwest to make up for the disadvantage of the Han army in strength. Therefore, now that such a main supply line is missing, the firearms produced in other places are
Even if the workshop works overtime, it can only be said that it will meet the needs of the front line.
In contrast, to the east of Yecheng is Taihang. There is not much in Taihang Mountain, except for the rocks that are everywhere.
Therefore, after opening up the connection between Hedong and Jizhou, the Ministry of Industry organized people to cut and polish stones and reserve a lot of stone bombs. During the previous Battle of Baigou, there was no time to transport them, and the stone bombs were too heavy, which was not enough for the stretched river crossing capacity at that time.
To say it is true is a lot of pressure, so artillery naturally became the protagonist on the Baigou battlefield.
Now that the terrain outside Yecheng is open, there is no problem in transporting stone bombs and the like. Instead of using expensive and scarce artillery, it would be crude and simple to just use thunderbolt vehicles.
The city wall of Yecheng was specially treated with bricks, but even so, under the repeated bombardment of cannonballs and stone bullets, the city wall of Yecheng still became riddled with holes. It was rare to see Northern Zhou people walking around on the city.
Soldiers - Most of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty should be hiding behind the city wall and watching the demolition by the Han army.
"Congratulations to your Majesty." Zhang Xutuo bowed his hands to Li Xingchen, "Jinyang has become an isolated city, and there are only a few isolated cities like Yecheng and Fanyang in the world. The situation is under control."
Li Xingchen nodded: "There should be a breakthrough on the east side, right?"
"As your Majesty expected." Zhang Xutuo smiled and said, "The Eastern Route Army has conquered Qinghe and Bohai, and is now sweeping northwest along the coast. The troops passed Yecheng, approached Xiangguo County in the north, and headed north from Qinshui River.
The Yangwu Army and the Imperial Guard, each with one unit, have crossed Taihang to attack Xiangguo County. Once Xiangguo is captured, Dugu Yongye and Yu Wenxian will also be unable to care about each other, and the world will be settled."
Li Xingchen smiled: "I know it myself, but now I am more curious about two things."
Zhang Xutuo stood with his hands crossed, looking like he was listening attentively.
"What are the people in the city thinking, and how big is the world outside."
After Zhang Xutuo pondered for a long time, he sighed: "Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond my reach. I'm afraid I can't answer these two questions."
"Even I can't get the answer. The world will be settled and there will be no dust in the world. But the world is what we can see and know. The world outside is still very big." Li Xingchen patted Zhang Xutuo
On the shoulders, "My dear, you are still young, you and I, the king and my ministers, should work hard and forge ahead."
Zhang Xutuo solemnly handed over his hand: "I will follow you to the death!"
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "We all have to live well and watch this great land enter the territory of the Han Dynasty. As for the people who should go to see God or go to hell, they are the ones who want to resist."
