Chapter 587: : The importance of Jincheng
The morale of the two armies is the first to be in the battle, and you can win a small victory before the big confrontation, which will inevitably give your soldiers more confidence. In the next battle, you will have that spirit in your heart, and you will be brave enough to fight for the first place.
"Um..." Zhang Chong nodded and said: "The scout discovered that, apart from the Han forward outside the city, the nearest Han army to Jincheng is still more than 30 miles away."
There was joy on Yi Ji's face. When he wanted to say something, Zhang Chong continued over there.
"To be frustrated, you must use a strong army!" Zhang Chong seemed to ignore Yi Yi's hesitation and stopped. Don’t chase too much when the army is evacuating."
Suofu and Xie Ai are very similar, both are representatives of Zhang's Liang Guo Confucian generals, and the family itself is also a prominent family of Zhangye. The troops in his hands were transferred back from the Western Regions, absorbing a lot of cavalry from the Western Regions.
The gate to the east was wide open, and a middle-aged man in a white robe and black armor came out on his horse, behind him was a flag-carrying officer carrying a flag with the word "Suo", and then a string of slickers followed. Hussar.
Zhong Xing saw Zhang's Liang army open the city gate and rushed out of the cavalry, and then saw the enemy general's flag, and asked left and right: "Who is this general?"
Wang Yong replied: "It should be Zhangye Suofu?"
Zhang's Liang army went out of the city, and it would never be possible to go out all in a short while. The cavalry who went out of the city first burst into the open space and cruised slowly. While warming up the horse, they were also waiting for the robe behind to come out.
In response, the Han army sounded the "bang" drum of war. After a while, troops left the camp under construction and formed a team in the open space in front of the camp.
"It deserves to be a powerful army that swept all Husbands, and the response was so swift!" Yi Jian said to Zhang Chong: "General Suo's headquarters is only five thousand, so why don't the generals lead the headquarters and go out of the city?
Zhang Chong stared at Yi Yi, then nodded: "Since General Yi has this heart, the prefect naturally agreed."
Yi Yi got the consent and immediately turned around and left happily.
After Yi Yi left, a scribe frowned and said to Zhang Chong: "Master, since you know Yi Yi has a dissatisfaction, why not take it in one fell swoop, or lift the military power?"
Zhang Chong's family is a local snake in Jincheng, not the kind of new boss who has just arrived in the city. With so many eyes and ears in the city, some people's small actions can always find some clues even if no evidence can be obtained for their small actions.
"Don't blame him." Zhang Chong said slightly: "The country is in a difficult situation, and strong enemies come to invade. It is a matter of course for each family to find a way. Although the general is a city guard, he has no arbitrary authority. They If you are ill-intentioned, how can you sigh in vain without the evidence?"
The scribe sighed lowly.
Zhang Zuo is now in power in Zhang's Liang Kingdom, and Zhang Zuo is not a wise person. On the contrary, he is narrow-minded and obsessed with retribution.
It’s not wrong that Zhang Chong is Jincheng prefect, but the Jincheng Zhang clan is not Zhang Zuo’s camp, and Zhang Chong is not Zhang Zuo’s confidant. The reason why he can be the prefect of Jincheng is nothing more than Zhang Zuo knows Zhang Chong’s family. A pivotal influence in Jincheng.
The beating of war drums soon sounded above the city head, which was to give the Zhang Liang army to the fighting, and it was also a signal to attack.
It took nearly two quarters of an hour for Suofe's headquarters to go out, and they still need to spend a little time to organize the team.
Yi Yi went out of the city immediately after Suofu's headquarters, and did not merge with Suofu's headquarters after going out. It was divided into two batches, one of which entered the corridor, and the other group followed far behind Suofu's headquarters.
The Han army camped six or seven miles away from Jincheng and removed the fortifications outside the Jincheng wall. Should the open space between the two sides be about five miles?
"On the mountain bag must be the generals of the Han army." Suofu raised his hand and pointed to the location where Zhong Xing was.
On the mountain bag, Zhong Xing and others soon discovered that the enemy army had left the brigade and came towards them. Of course, they would not be stupid to stay in place, and after turning on their horses, they would gallop towards their main army.
Zhong Xing was not in the headquarters, and it was Lieutenant Xie Ziyu who led the army.
"General? Will you send someone..."
"No, you should not act rashly at this time." Wang Junkai's Lavender Paradise
Yi Jian was not so stupid, and sent people to contact the Han generals in full view. He squinted his eyes to watch the Han army that was already advancing, and then looked back at the tower, making up his mind either to stay still or to settle the matter in one fell swoop.
The Han army deployed a combination of infantry and cavalry. Directly in front of them was Zhang's Liang Army, who did not see any formation, and the distance between the two sides kept getting closer.
A trumpet was blown abruptly, and Suofu's army was divided into two in an instant. It looked like the Western Cavalry was sent out to try to attack the left wing of the Han army, while the headquarters kept keeping a distance from the Han army.
The race in the Western Regions is very complicated, with blond white eyes and yellow people with yellow skin and black hair but brown eyes and bright features. Although the latter is of the yellow race, the appearance is very different from that of the Central Plains. It is generally characterized by a high nose bridge, which is considered to be of the West Asian race (that is, the appearance of the later generations of A1 Fu and 1 Khan).
"Wow, it looks like a cheap seed from the Western Regions." Xie Ziyu waved his hand: "Resolve them!"
The Han army in the battle actually only had 3,000 troops, and the left-wing cavalry was ordered to leave the army immediately and charge directly towards the attacking cavalry of the Western Regions.
Speaking of Chili Wow, it’s the cavalry of the Western Regions who use various languages when charging. If there are more languages, they will be chaotic. They will continue to play with the scimitars in their hands. Some Westerners who think they are good at horsemanship will be more like acrobatics. It seems to be on horseback, doing all kinds of fancy but actually meaningless actions.
"Wind, wind, wind, gale!"
"shoot!!!"
The Han army has a crossbow, and every battle must first use the crossbow to clear the way, and the slogan is from Liu Yan.
Lao Mouzi has made a movie, which is the first milestone in China's history with an investment of over 100 million. Not to mention the plot and the acting skills of the actors, it is probably the Qin Jun's archery slogan that is most impressed by the audience.
Of course, Liu Yan knew that "Wind, Gale" was designed by Lao Mouzi, but it sounds really prestigious, and then it has the effect of coordinating shooters, and it is also promoted in the army.
Five hundred crossbow arrows took a leap in the air and fell like rain. The front part of the Western Cavalry who kept yelling, "Chili Wah!" It's also being staged.
"Han Army, charge!"
"Hey!"
The five-hundred Han riders that formed a front-line formation, the knight who charged in the front leveled the lance in his hand, and the knight who followed was replaced with a bow and arrow.
The cavalry of the Western Regions was not the first army to encounter the construction of the Chinese civilization. They themselves were conquered by Zhang's Liang army to use them. To talk about the characteristics of the army of the Western Regions, it is probably the horse-thief-style fighting habit. To put it bluntly, it is the force of the weak and cruel, and the strong.
About eight hundred cavalrymen of the Western Regions, they were constantly shot by arrows. They were over a hundred people before they came into contact with the Han army. Listening to the uniform battle cry of the Han army, and looking at the swift charging posture, nothing is said. The whole number is zero, in short, it is scattered and fleeing.
"The cheap seed is the cheap seed, and it is vulnerable." Xie Ziyu said that, but not looking frivolous, he issued a new order: "The right-wing cavalry left the original formation cruising, and the infantry moved forward steadily."
Affected by Liu Yan, Han has always had the idea of the supremacy of Han people, especially the military has been the most affected, and there is a general contempt for foreign races.
There are good and bad looking down on foreign races. The advantage is that I can fight from the bottom of my heart without being upset when facing a foreign race, and I will take it for granted that I can teach the foreign race how to behave in minutes. The disadvantages are also quite obvious. It will form a narrow mindset and suffer a big loss when it is careless. But in general, there are more advantages than disadvantages to cultivate the arrogance of the nation.
The Han army, which defeated the cavalry of the Western Regions, did not pursue the defeated soldiers, but approached Suofu's headquarters slightly in a roundabout way.
Solf didn't seem to be surprised that his Western Cavalry could not withstand a single blow. The only regret was that the Han army did not pursue it. His original plan was that once the Han army pursued the fleeing Western Region cavalry, he would immediately lead his army to pounce on it.
"The Han army is not as arrogant as imagined." Suofu saw that there were Han army cavalry cruising on the left and right wings, and there were Han army pawns steadily advancing in the front. After a low sigh, he shouted: "The whole army retreat!"
On the other side, Zhang Chong took a panoramic view of the battlefield situation, saw Suofu led his army to the city, and watched the Han army stop in place and did not continue to approach, he also sighed lowly. Doomsday Live
"It is rumored that the Han army is arrogant, but it is a mistake." The scribe was called Huang Yan, who belonged to Zhang Chong's staff, and said: "Master, General Suo just let the Western Regions to withdraw after a visit. It is... to save strength. ?"
"The enemy has no flaws at all. Unless our army comes out, it will be difficult to take advantage." Zhang Chong is now paying more attention to: "I thought Yi Yi would pick up the plane and approach him, trying to contact the Han generals, but he didn't expect Shen Shen. Get angry."
Yi Ji led his army out of the city, but his troops did not leave the fortifications around the city too far, only to coordinate when Suofu led his army to withdraw.
Huang Yan also said: "Since General Yi is out of the city, how about the Lord ordering him to stay fortifications outside the city?"
"Order it to stay outside the city, the fortifications will be controlled for it, do you want to surrender the right to guard the city gate?" Zhang Chong slowly shook his head, and ordered the soldier next to him: "I ordered the headquarters to stay in the tunnel, and he was the deputy general. But it is time to return to the city to follow the prefect. At the same time, he informs Suofe that his troops do not have to return to the city, and I am also taking over the important task of commanding the fortifications outside the city."
Huang Yan's eyes lit up and asked, "Is the Lord going to startle the snake?"
In aristocratic politics, only aristocratic family with military power will have the right to speak. Without an army, you will lose your claws and teeth. Without a family, you will easily hand over the military power in your hands. Of course, Yi Jie is no exception.
Yi Jie's approach is very simple, as if he didn't receive Zhang Chong's order, he would get back as much as he took out of the city. Before seeing Zhang Chong, he also figured out the wording. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Chong would not mention that at all.
[A certain action must have been defeated, because Zhang Chong’s habit has not grasped the correct evidence, he will only be on guard and will not act...] Standing behind Zhang Chong, Yi Yi has long been aware of Zhang Chong’s samurai with the bodyguard at all times. He looked at the back of Zhang Chong's head: [The gentleman can be deceived, the main evidence is that if he is not caught, Zhang Chong will not be angry no matter what. 】
There is a saying that touches the whole body with one move. In Jincheng, it is not only Yi who guesses the Han army secret tunes. This is not only Yi Yi knows, but Zhang Chong, who is the master, must also be aware of this. So unless it can be done all at once, and there are no future problems, such as killing or capturing the person involved, there will be no chaos below, otherwise it really can only be endured.
The two sides conducted a trial and ended with the death of one or two hundred Western Regions.
In the back, Zhong Xing certainly wouldn't go to attack the city. He was waiting for the camp to be established and scattered a large number of cavalry troops. He was investigating the surrounding areas of Jincheng and harassing nearby non-owners.
Four days later, Xie An led the main force of his headquarters to the camp. After the entire army was stationed, he personally interrogated the situation.
"The fortifications around the city are intensive, and the enemy has stationed many defenders in the fortifications." Zhong Xing told Xie Anshu about the situation around Jincheng in no detail, and then he talked about other things: "Jinxing County and Guangwu County also It was discovered that the Liang army had gathered in large numbers."
The capital of Zhang's Liang Kingdom is Guzang, which is only four hundred miles away from Jincheng. Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi are currently in Guzang, and the main meeting point of Zhang's Liang army returning from the Western Regions to the East is also there.
Jinxing County and Guangwu County are not the important counties of Zhang's Liang Kingdom. The number of cities is only three, and it is precisely because of this that the importance of Jincheng is shown.
For Zhang’s Liang Country, Jincheng is an important town that cannot be lost. Once Jincheng falls, the invading enemy should face the plains of the Pingchuan River~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is equivalent to Zangdong, the capital of Zhang’s Liang Country. There is no danger to defend.
Before Liu Yan's rise, Shi Jie and Zhao invaded Zhang's Liang Nation many times. The see-saw between the two sides was in Guanzhong. The only time Shi Jie and Zhao's army approached Jincheng was to make Zhang's Liang Nation go crazy and gather heavy troops to the east. From here You can imagine how important Jincheng is to Zhang's Liang Country.
The Han army leaped over Jincheng to explore further west, and found that Zhang's Liang army was mass gathering, but the actual number was not known.
Based on the understanding of the Zhang’s Liang State by the Han’s intelligence system, the Zhang’s Liang army in the Western Regions is constantly shifting eastward, and a large number of Western Regions are also forced to fight east. Then it can be judged that Zhang’s Liang State is going to gather the whole country. The strength to resist the invasion of the Han army.
Depending on the situation in World War I, it would be best if it could be done, especially against the multi-line Han country. Xie An is a man with a strategy and can tell which one is more important.
"Since Jincheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I simply won't attack." Xie An's words were to make all the members of the Chinese army stunned. He asked his staff to spread out the map of mountains and rivers, and said in a very steady tone: "Our army has less than 80,000 troops, Jincheng has close to 100,000 defenders, and Liang troops are constantly gathering behind Jincheng. This will be the first attack and assembly. The cool army in the wilderness, see how Jincheng defender reacts." 8)
