After capturing Jijun, rest for a day.
And on this day of rest, the sergeants were still restless. They were so angry that they wanted to go and chop up the enemy like melons and vegetables.
When Shao Xun selected the generals who would stay behind, he asked no one and said nothing.
In the end, Liu Qia took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he was old and would stay in Jijun to oversee the transportation of grain and grass.
On September 17, the army crossed Qingshui.
On the 18th, the vanguard arrived at the foot of Huojia City.
The next day, large groups of people arrived one after another. At this time, they received a shocking news: Huojia had surrendered.
The army continued to advance despite the noise. On the 22nd, Xiuwu County was conquered and restored at the sound of drums.
At this point, Shihu's territory was completely lost, and the more than 10,000 cavalrymen brought to Wen County were in an uproar.
On the 24th, the cavalry troops that received supplies marched out in large numbers, wreaking havoc in the eastern half of Hanoi with great momentum.
Outside the city of Wen County, the Huns, who had been besieging them for a month and a half, were panicking and had a vague intention of retreating.
In fact, the most ferocious attack on the city was in the first ten days.
During these ten days, the Huns really attacked regardless of the cost. A gap was even opened in the city wall, and the enemy troops swarmed in. If hundreds of soldiers had not fought hard to drive them out, and then demolished the houses and repaired the city wall, they might have been destroyed.
Fell.
The defenders in the city include 1,200 Fu soldiers and their tribes, hundreds of Jing tribesmen, and more than 3,000 Heyang Dingzhuang people, a total of about 5,000 people. They have persisted so far and have suffered more than half of the casualties.
If they had not seen their own cavalry roaming around the outside and the officers vigorously preached that the Huns were short of food, morale would have plummeted to the bottom - of course, one of the reasons was that the Huns were not very good at attacking cities.
By now, after hearing that Shao Xun had crossed the river from the direction of Puyang and captured Jijun and other places, the Huns already wanted to retreat.
On the 24th, Han Anxi General Liu Ya went to the north of Wen County in person and saw the furious Shi Hu.
"Why should a man worry about not having a wife?" Inadvertently, the once high-spirited Liu Ya's temples were stained with a layer of frosty white, her face was full of sorrow and her expression was anxious, but she still talked to Shi Hu patiently.
Shi Hu had a violent temper and was dissatisfied, so he said in a low voice: "But I don't know how long General Anxi is going to fight? He attacked Wen County and lost ten thousand people. He attacked Heyang and lost another two thousand. Now Ji County has been lost and reduced to
No fewer than five thousand people have been killed by Shao Thief's sword. If we continue to fight, I think we will have no soldiers left to fight next year."
Others were a little surprised when they saw Shi Hu talking like this.
But he was right. After so many people were consumed, nothing was gained. There was not enough food to eat, not enough cattle and sheep to eat. Now there is only a lot of pickled meat left. Is it possible that all the beatings are just for the sake of food?
Did you get the marinated pork jerky?
Liu Ya was angry in her heart and was about to scold her, but when she saw everyone's expressions, she immediately suppressed it.
In fact, it is not that Binh Duong did not provide disaster relief to Hanoi.
A month ago, the wealthy tribes in Hedong gathered 200,000 hu of grain and sent it to Yewang through Zhiguan - but that was all.
After all, Han Dynasty is a country whose fragments are put together.
Hanoi gave him Liu Ya, and he had full control of military and political power. The price was that he often had to face difficult situations alone.
In times of crisis, the imperial court would give some help, such as the four guards and horses of the East Palace that were assigned here, and the 200,000 grains used for this disaster relief. But is it enough? Is it enough for him to resist Shao Xun? The answer
is negative.
Hanoi is a flat area with no danger to defend. After years of fighting, we are close to running out of gas and can no longer defend it.
This year's locust plague has dealt a fatal blow, causing the already difficult situation to collapse.
He has secretly sent his family to Zhiguan. This is what he thinks as a land lord general.
"Withdraw." He was too lazy to argue with Shi Hu and others. He was so angry that he didn't even bother to curse. He only said to Shi Hu: "The thief general Wang Que'er has left Heyang Beicheng. You can do whatever you want."
If it doesn't work, go back to Shangdang. Liu Runzhong, I'll help you with some advice. It's difficult for everyone, and this is the time to be patient for the sake of the country."
"What?" Everyone changed their colors when they heard that Wang Que'er was leading his army to the north.
Guo Rong, the general of the northern expedition, lost his voice and said: "Wang Que'er is an important general in the Jin Dynasty. He came to lead the army. He must have taken advantage of him."
When other people look at me and I look at you, their faces look ugly.
The year before last, Wang Que'er attacked Ye Wang, but could not win after a long battle and was forced to retreat. Even with such a good opportunity, he could not stay. That battle left a deep impression on Hanoi, Jijun, and Shangdang generals.
.
This year, if they fail to attack the city and are about to retreat, will it go smoothly?
If you think about it carefully, at least Wang Queer was not short of food the year before last, and there were reinforcements to help at the last moment. What do they have this year?
Will the Pingyang court send troops? Not necessarily.
They had only moved their tribes to Guanzhong before, but this year they had forcibly moved the wealthy families. To the emperor, Hanoi was just a human shield to resist Shao Xun.
Count on Liu Yao? He is also in a difficult situation. The biggest problem is lack of food.
What to do?
Shi Hu stood up suddenly and walked out of the tent, no longer giving Liu Ya face.
Guo Rong stood up, sat down again, stood up again. After struggling for a while, he apologized and left.
"Where does Ji Long want to go?" Guo Rong chased after him and asked.
Shi Hu got on his horse, looked east, and said, "I want to take back Ji County."
Guo Rong was stunned.
****
Outside Shanyang City, the army surged past.
The four gates of the county town were opened. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county captain had fled with their families, leaving only a few low-level officials who came out of the city cautiously and knelt down to welcome the new conquerors.
As a result, the conquerors ignored them at all, and the army did not even want to stop for a moment, but continued to move forward diagonally toward the southwest.
The county officials looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This isn't a bad thing.
If Mr. Liang really wants to enter the city, to put it bluntly, they don't know what to use to labor the army.
What kind of world do you think this is?
But there is nothing anyone can do to help such a thing. On the front line of the war that has been fought all year round, there is little food. If there is a locust plague and the refugees are surging south, even the rich and powerful will have to flee.
Everyone waited for a while and saw that it was getting late, so they prepared to go back and close the city gate. At this moment, hundreds of riders rushed straight towards them and loudly said: "Liang Gong is coming tonight, hurry up and prepare a clean house.
"
"Yes." The county officials secretly complained and agreed bravely. At the same time, they also secretly guessed what happened. Didn't they march at full speed before?
No one told them.
In the middle of the night, more and more troops gathered outside Shanyang City.
The dull sound of horse hooves continued to sound in all directions, east, west, north and south, and the sound of weapons clashing and shouts of killing could also be heard faintly in the wind.
They didn't know whether Liang Gongjin entered the city or not. They only knew that in the middle of the night there was a lot of excitement, and the people in the city screamed and neighed. It took a long time before they calmed down.
After dawn, as soon as the county officials went out, they saw the streets full of sergeants coming and going, occupying Shanyang City.
The remaining people in the county were recruited and marched out of the city to help the auxiliary soldiers pound rice and grind flour.
This was actually a good job, because it would not deprive them of food. The county officials worked very hard and called all the seven aunts and eight aunts over to help in the auxiliary camp.
Some county officials were also ordered to bring people to carry meals to the city.
When they climbed to the top of the city and looked into the distance inadvertently, they were stunned.
Amidst the howling north wind, the two armies faced each other in the wilderness.
One party is holding a flag with the word "stone", and the other is holding a flag with the word "gold".
There are only a few people on General Shi's side. I can't count how many there are there, maybe tens of thousands?
General Jin's troops were endless, and the middle one was the most elite. They stood solemnly in the wilderness without a trace of noise.
There are more soldiers on both wings, but their uniforms are of different colors and are rather messy. Some of them seem to be wearing old military uniforms from the Shile era, and they also look like the red military uniforms worn by Gou Xi when he was the governor of Yanzhou. All in all, they are very messy and must not be elite soldiers.
.
The cavalry of both sides have begun to fight.
After fighting for a while, General Shi's troops who came from the west were a little exhausted. At this time, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded in the north of Shanyang City, and hundreds of knights in silver helmets rushed out with a rainbow-like momentum.
On both sides of them, there were more knights with fair hair, howling like beasts from their mouths, covering the wings of the armored knights.
After they appeared, the Shibu cavalry turned their horses' heads one after another and retreated.
Flags were waved on the high platform in the west, but these retreating knights seemed to ignore them at all, leaving the formation and disappearing into the distant sky.
The infantry arrayed in the wilderness were noisy.
The county official who was responsible for carrying the meal was so fascinated that he even heard faint cries.
The armored cavalry turned their horses' heads, adjusted their direction, and crashed directly into the stone army's infantry from the flank.
On the frontal battlefield, General Jin's troops advanced bravely and in neat steps.
The miscellaneous soldiers on both wings looked excited, and their formation was a little messy. Moreover, they charged so hard that they actually left behind a large section of the elite soldiers in the middle, shouting loudly and charging into the stone army infantry.
The Kunfa Light Cavalry seems to know how to fight very well.
They put aside their armored cavalry and moved around behind the infantry of the Stone Army. Arrows rained down, and they immediately defeated the last persistence of the Stone Army.
"Have you seen enough?" The county official suddenly heard a voice in his ear. He turned around and saw a one-eyed military academy looking at him with a half-smile.
The county official was shocked and lowered his head to confess.
This man is blind in one eye, and it seems that the injury has not fully healed yet, and is tightly wrapped in gauze. In this state, he actually refuses to stay to recuperate, and even wants to go out with the army...
No wonder the Huns were completely defeated!
This kind of energy can't be matched by anyone, let alone Shi Hu or Liu Ya.
"Shi Hu was defeated." The One-Eye Military Academy looked out of the city and said disdainfully: "With our family gone, what will the sergeant have to fight? If he doesn't switch sides before the battle, he will be worthy of him."
And just as he was saying this, a large flag with the word "Guo" in the corner of the stone army's formation moved quickly, and they dismounted and knelt down in front of the formation.
The "Guo" formation has more than 3,000 infantrymen, and the whole is still intact. All of them abandoned their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.
The soldiers on both wings, who were charging so fast, were very dissatisfied and deliberately did not stop. After scattering the enemy troops, they heard the sound of a clang and slowly stopped.
The battle seemed to have just begun and ended quickly.
