News of the successive fierce battles in Luoyang was not able to spread in time.
Victory cannot boost the morale of other battlefields.
If you lose, the enemy will give you a big publicity.
This is an information transfer problem.
Fortunately, Shao Xun closed the Luonan Three Passes in time, so that the main force of the thieves was restricted to the Luoyang Basin. Those who occasionally penetrated to the south of the Three Passes were immediately chased and intercepted by mounted soldiers and tribesmen, and were eventually captured one by one.
wipe out.
The Huns also later learned that if they could not break through these three barriers, no matter how many small troops they sent to infiltrate south, it would be useless just to kill the Jin army.
However, they are not interested in going south now. Multiple battlefields have been opened in the Luoyang Basin, so they have no intention of taking care of them.
In Shaanxian County, in the Xiashi area, Wang Mi's tribe retreated very quickly, as if they were very reluctant to engage in a fierce battle with Shao Xun's tribe, even though the combat effectiveness of the Zhongwu Army on the opposite side was very doubtful, and it was not as good as Shao's army.
Liu Jing was still staying in this area, doing nothing at first, but recently he encountered a little trouble: Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang who was guarding Guanzhong, was persuaded by Wei Fu, the military consultant to offer wine, and sent generals Chun Yuding and Zhao Ran to lead an army of 20,000 eastward.
, seems to want to leave Tongguan to attack Liu Jing, and also seems to want to cross the river from Pubanjin and invade the territory of Hedong.
No matter which direction he took, it was enough to make Liu Jing feel nervous.
To a certain extent, they were more afraid of the Jin army in Guanzhong, because they often used money and silk to lure barbarians and gathered large groups of cavalry, which was more difficult to deal with than the infantry of the Luoyang Forbidden Army.
Pei Chun, the prefect of Xingyang, sent Li Ju to lead his army westward to attack the Wubao of Zhao Gu and others, vowing to eliminate these rebels.
Because Shi Le did not go south, Wang Shiwen, the governor of Xuchang, and Wang Kan, the chariot general, under the strict orders of the envoy who risked his life to break out of Luoyang, led an army of 15,000, crossed the Yellow River north, and entered the territory of Jijun, as if they were going to attack Hanoi and prevent the Huns from returning.
road.
Shan Jian, the governor of Jingzhou, heard that Luoyang was besieged and ordered all counties to select brave men and send them to Xiangyang, intending to gather 5,000 elite soldiers and go north to rescue Luojing.
Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, organized 10,000 troops and marched westward with the intention of joining the capital to aid him. However, not far after he left, he was not given enough money and food. In addition, Pei Dun was punished severely in the local area and was unpopular. The troops made noise and dispersed.
, Pei Dun had no choice but to return to Xuzhou.
Yangzhou lost 20,000 people last year (Battle of Changping), but the governor Zhou Fu has always been loyal and loyal to the emperor. Even though he was at odds with Sima Yue, he still sent 5,000 people northward. This meeting has already started.
Wang San, the governor of Chenliu and a close associate of Sima Yue, gathered three thousand troops and entered the territory of Xingyang, intending to pass Chenggao Pass and enter the Luoyang Basin.
All in all, after the Huns suddenly arrived and Luoyang was besieged, all the states and counties in the world immediately sent out reinforcements within their capabilities to help the king - they were not necessarily to help Sima Yue. In fact, Sima Yue did not have such great appeal. These people
What I am helping is the imperial court and the emperor.
This is actually a "will test".
At least in October of the third year of Yongjia, the Jin Dynasty barely passed the test of will, and the people's hearts were still there!
Shao Xun received some news one after another in Jiuqu.
To be honest, he was a little surprised. This zombie-like court could actually summon so many troops of King Qin, gathering from all directions. What a hell!
As a result, his ambitions moderated a bit, and he became "loyal"...
The first sound of the drum sounded in the land of Jiuqu.
The auxiliary soldiers immediately took action.
Feed the draft animals that have not been fed quickly, clean up the utensils that have not been put away, take out the dry food that is not ready and put it in a place where it is easy to access. In short, it is a bunch of chores...
The second tom sounded.
All the draft animals were yoked, the vehicles began to move, and the auxiliary soldiers began to be divided into various camps, led by the officers and assembled in preparation for departure.
The soldiers began to inspect the equipment.
For a while, the sound of a knife being drawn into a sheath was heard endlessly.
Spare bow strings were tied to the quiver, and everyone counted the arrows in the pot. If there were less than thirty arrows, they immediately asked the auxiliary soldiers to get them.
The war horses were also led out for a few steps to warm up.
The third tom sounded.
The soldiers began to put on each other's armor in pairs and inspect each other's equipment.
The strung step bow hangs on the left side of the waist, the ring-shou knife hangs on the right side of the waist, and the spear is in the hand, no problem.
Several baggage cars next to the marching column contained long-handled axes, hooks, spears, wooden poles, rifles and spare equipment.
The officers began to confirm which team was on which sidecar, who would rotate with them, and who were the reserve teams supporting these two teams...
Everything is in order.
After fighting to this day, the Silver Spear Army is considered to be an elite unit, although Shao Xun always feels that they are not good enough, their level is still too low, and they need to practice more...
****
When the first sidecar slowly descended the slope and appeared in sight, the Huns suddenly became commotion.
In the past two days, they divided the four thousand cavalry into three parts and took turns to harass them. Apart from paying the price of more than a hundred casualties, they gained almost nothing.
I’m so exhausted!
Hearing that the army's food and grass supplies were less than half a month's supply and that Luoyang could not be conquered, everyone was very anxious and wondered what the point of staying here was.
For example, the infantry in front of me may only be worth just over 10,000 in total, but it is very experienced.
Yes, that is sophistication.
Perhaps in the eyes of other people, skills, discipline, and equipment are very important, but in the eyes of these Huns cavalry, the sophistication of these soldiers is the most annoying. They know when to do things and who to do things, and the more they fight, the more confident they become.
The less afraid of their harassment.
Even among thousands of armies, they eat when they need to eat and sleep when they need to sleep. Even if the soldiers outside are beaten to pieces and the sound of killing is loud, they can still sit on the ground calmly, eat water to restore their strength, and even hide behind the big shield.
Sleeping behind the ration bag and clothes.
This army must have been in existence for a long time, at least four or five years, and it has experienced a lot of battles. Every one of them is a damn capable killer and will not collapse easily.
The day before yesterday, the conquering general Hu Yanhao ordered them to turn west and harass the troops in turn, making them eat poorly, sleep poorly, consume a lot of energy, and lose physical strength. Then he personally led the main force to surround and kill them in one fell swoop.
.
Standard prairie wolf hunting tactics.
It just follows and harasses the prey all the way, and bites it from time to time to make the prey bleed. In panic, it will panic, exhaust its energy, and finally collapse and be eaten by the pack of wolves.
But after "training" with them for a day and a night, it seemed to have no effect.
There are 4,000 cavalry in total, divided into three parts. Only a few thousand cavalry can rush up to harass you at one time, and no one will look at you seriously.
They also have cavalry who are skilled in hand-to-hand combat. They recharge their batteries when they don't have a chance, and they suddenly attack when they have a chance, causing the Han cavalry to bleed continuously.
My maid!
Cars rattled, horses roared, and the long dragon-like cart moved forward unstoppably.
Shao Xun is wearing a golden armor given by the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty and holding a treasured bow given by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He looks majestic and looking forward to Zixiong.
No tactic is perfect.
The vehicle formation can only deal with pure cavalry troops. If it is a mixed army of infantry and cavalry, it will be a bit troublesome.
For example, what should you do if someone ambushes you on both sides of the road and hits you with a catapult?
Liu Yu thought about this problem.
His solution was to hang curtains on the cars on both sides to buffer against falling rocks.
The vehicle array is mobile, so as long as it carries this section of road, it will be safe. After all, the catapult can hardly move. Moreover, the range of the catapult is very impressive, and its accuracy is even more impressive, and it will not take long for it to fall apart.
So this tactic is basically useless. Besides, the Huns can't use this tactic now. Where are their infantry?
Attacking with fire is even more useless than throwing stones, because it is easier to prevent fire.
The real trouble is that the opponent has infantry who are good at fighting. They will attack in turns regardless of casualties, leaving you unable to rest and recover, and eventually collapse.
To put it bluntly, even if we surround you with superior forces and kill you, the final casualties may not be smaller than yours. In fact, it is just a gamble - and it is not worth it at all. Gein can use the vehicle formation to maneuver over long distances, it must be training.
They are well-trained elite infantry, and annihilating them can greatly damage the opponent's morale.
The current Liu Han army does not have the ability to annihilate this mixed force of Silver Spear Army, Fu soldiers, and Valiant Cavalry Army, even though they only have more than 6,000 soldiers.
On the night of the 30th, the car formation stayed at the foot of Shou'an Mountain.
On the first night of November, we camped at Ganshuikou.
The so-called Ganshuikou means the place where Ganshui enters Luoshui.
Ganshui originates from Luti Mountain in the south. There is a city on the mountain, but it is abandoned - Lu Ji's "Luoyang Ji": "Twenty-five miles southwest of Henan County, Ganshui comes out and flows into Luo in the north. There is Gancheng on the mountain, that is, Ganshui
Gongcai Town."
In fact, it was the ancient city of Gan State in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Du Yu once annotated Zuo Zhuan: "Gan Zhaogong was led by the prince, and he lived in Gan."
It is worth mentioning that this city was still used by people until the Later Han Dynasty, and it was a solid city built with stone slabs - I just don't know if the stones on the city wall are "cultural relics" from the Spring and Autumn Period.
Before falling asleep, Shao Xun made a special "memo": if there is a chance in the future, he must renovate Gancheng and transform it into a military base.
Ganshui flows through the side of Gancheng. There is no shortage of water in the city. There is still a small amount of cultivated land on the mountain and more wasteland in the plain below the mountain. This is a natural dock.
As for claiming that occupying this city means extending power deep into Henan County, this is not a big deal.
Early in the morning on the second day of the lunar month, we broke camp and set off, continuing to the northeast.
The distance between Ganshuikou and Luoyang is only about forty miles. With the cavalry surrounding it, even if we go slowly, it will only take two or three days.
No matter how stupid the Huns are, they will stop them with all their strength.
But the strange thing is that they did not increase their troops. What happened in the past two days?
Shao Xun ignored him and continued to move forward. In the evening of the same day, he advanced to the west bank of Jianshui and camped. Looking across from him, he looked at the ancient city of Han and Henan - the seat of Henan County of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was built on the basis of the Imperial City of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and is located in the Imperial City Park of today's Luoyang City. At this time (
At the end of Jin Dynasty) was abandoned, and the county seat of Henan was moved to Luoyang City.
At this time, the Huns finally reacted.
Four thousand cavalry remained on the west bank to harass, and more than ten thousand cavalry rushed towards the east bank of the stream, watching eagerly.
That night was not peaceful.
Outside the temporary camp consisting of sidecars, baggage trucks, and wooden fences, the sound of horse hooves never stopped.
From time to time, Huns would approach and shoot arrows, or beat gongs and drums, as a sign of harassment.
In the vast darkness of night, a large group of infantry took advantage of the darkness to quietly arrive, crossed Jianshui to the west, and set up camp on the spot.
Further away, there were thousands of horse-riding infantry selected by Wang Mi, who traveled all night to come to Jianshui.
Shao Xunzhong got up at night and climbed to the high platform to overlook the wilderness.
The camp was set up to the west of Jianshui. There were Huns cavalry on the east bank, and behind the camp on the west bank, there were Huns following all the way.
There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind.
Was he trying to prevent himself from crossing the river, or was he getting ruthless and trying to annihilate them together?
He doesn't know.
He only knew that the food and fodder he carried with the army could last for twenty-seven days, and he also harvested nearly two hundred injured and dead horses along the way.
The Huns had enough food and fodder to last seven days.
Come on, I will cross the river tomorrow, who can stop me?
Chapter completed!
