Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three Li Wenhou Dissatisfied with the Fujiao Army
Chapter 133: Li Wenhou is dissatisfied with Fujiaojun
Li Qin had already made preparations for this trip to Beidi County. Two thousand infantry and four hundred cavalry were dispatched, each cavalry was two horses, each infantry was one horse, and another one was one horse, and another was one thousand auxiliary soldiers, driving 300 large chariots for logistics. The siege chariots, high chariots, corner-held cannons were brought with them, and all bows, arrows and armor were brought. In addition to the military doctor, he also brought thirty craftsmen to repair bows, arrows and swords and guns.
A large army of more than 3,000 people left the Fuping land. The cavalry marched more than a hundred miles a day, and the large army was seventy miles a day. In the late Han Dynasty, this speed was almost approaching the limit and could almost be called a rushing attack. It also ensured that the soldiers did not fall behind, did not reduce their combat effectiveness, and maintained their speed. Many troops could do it for one or two days, but if they had to march for several days, only the Fujiao Army could do it in the entire Liangzhou.
Li Qin led the Fujiao Army to attack Jincheng County, and a few days later, he arrived at Lingju County, the outermost periphery of Jincheng County. This county was not small, with a population of over 10,000, but it had been occupied by the rebellious Qiang soldiers. The general who led the troops was as famous as Beigong Boyu, and was Li Wenhou, a famous general of the Western Qiang!
If we count from the perspective of generation, Li Wenhou is one generation younger than Beigong Boyu, less than forty years old, but he looks old and looks like he is over 50 years old and has gray hair. If he stands with Beigong Boyu, he will think they are brothers.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang and Di rebellion in Liangzhou, there were four famous generals in the early stage, namely Han Sui, Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou. In terms of power, Beigong Boyu was the first, Li Wenhou was the second, Bian Zhang was the third, and Han Sui was the last. But Han Sui was the most capable. It didn't take long to become the most powerful, and killed three other people and annexed their army.
Of course, Li Wenhou didn't know that he would be killed by Han Sui in the future. He even regarded Han Sui as a good brother. Han Sui asked him to guard Lingju County. Just because he was brave, Li Wenhou followed Han Sui's instructions to stay here.
Although Li Wenhou was called Wenhou, he had no big relationship with Siwen. The weapon he used was called the Horsehead Hammer. When he was a teenager, he rushed into the Han army that suppressed him with one hammer, and rushed through the Han army with thousands of people without any injuries. He became famous and was called the Qiang people by the Qiang people.
He has nearly 10,000 Qiang soldiers under his command. Since he is a thousand enemy, his Qiang soldiers are called a hundred enemy. And so on, his ten thousand Qiang soldiers can defeat a million Han soldiers, so his army is known as one million!
Li Wenhou did claim to the public that he had one million soldiers, but many people actually believed it. In an era of underdeveloped information, even inexplicable rumors could fly all over the sky, which really scared some people. This is why people in this era always like to claim their army to be as many as tens of thousands. The method is simple and just by bragging, but sometimes it is really useful.
Of course, if it is not easy to use, others will not always use it, but it is impossible to scare Li Qin. After entering Jincheng County, the scout informed Li Qin of Li Wenhou's troops. After hearing this, Li Qin immediately sent an order, allowing the soldiers to claim that the Fujiao Army had five million elite troops, and another five million were on the way, so they could enter Jincheng County at any time.
Lingju County.
Li Wenhou stood on the city tower with a gloomy face. Behind him was a row of Qiang generals, everyone was looking to the north, which was the direction the Fujiao Army was coming.
Li Wenhou said: "Why did it come so quickly? In terms of days, it will take at least five days to arrive. When it comes, you have already entered Jincheng County!" Although he was also surnamed Li, he was not soft-mouthed at all by calling Li Qin a thief.
The Qiang generals all said, "Li Zhebaba came to die. As he wished, wouldn't it be just right to come early and resolve it soon!"
Li Wenhou nodded and said, "Yes, when we get rid of the Li thief, we will attack other county towns. This time, we will have to occupy at least five county towns. Only in this way can we ensure that we will not have to worry about food and drink in the future."
The Qiang generals laughed together and said, "Yes, this time we will occupy five counties. If this is true, we will feel comfortable in the future!"
Li Wenhou and his subordinate Qiang Generals do not have any great ideals at this stage and are still striving to live a life of food and drink without worries. For them, it is already a very happy thing to occupy five counties, and they can laugh out loud even if they dream!
There were no people outside the county town, and most of them were forcibly pulled into the city in the name of protection, while a few people outside the city fled to other places, and all the houses outside the city were burned out. This was Han Sui's idea to use this method of strengthening the walls and clearing the countryside to force the people to rely on them, encircle the people, and make them use it for their own use.
Outside the city, the Qiang soldiers retreated to the city. After about half an hour, they turned into more than a dozen and dozens retreated to the city. As the number of Qiang soldiers entering the city increased, it means that the Fujiao Army was coming soon.
At dusk, a rumbling sound of hooves came from afar, and a cavalry unit of the squadron supported the army rumbled. The number was about 400, everyone was riding on both sides. The soldiers were all in iron helmets and armor, with sharp soldiers and amazing momentum!
Li Wenhou lay on the battlement, squinted his eyes, and said, "It seems that this is the vanguard of Li Zhe. There are not many people, only a few hundred!"
The Qiang generals were also lying on the battlements and looking out. It would be impossible for all the Qiang people, including Li Wenhou, to say that they were not afraid of the Fujiao Army or Li Qin, and not afraid of Li Qin. If they were really not afraid at all, they would not be able to collect all their troops from ten thousand people back into the city, and Li Wenhou would not be able to hiss the ground so cold that they had to stand on the city wall waiting for the Fujiao Army to come.
It is because the Fujiao Army is so famous, especially because of its good publicity work, this army that defeated the Huns had already tended to be deified in the hearts of the people of Liangzhou, which made Li Wenhou and Qiang generals also scared.
However, when they suddenly discovered that the famous Fujiao Army had only a few hundred vanguard troops, they were no longer afraid, but instead felt a sense of joy because there was a advantage to take!
A Qiang general with a pheasant feather on his leather helmet shouted: "King, the villain is willing to ask for an arrow to lead five hundred... to lead a thousand warriors, go down and defeat the vanguard of Li Zhe, catch the vanguard officer, cut off his ears, and drink wine for the king!"
Li Wenhou laughed twice and said, "Okay, you can lead troops out of the city to fight, I will personally beat the drums to cheer for you!"
The pheasant-ling Qiang general stepped down the steps and ordered his troops out of the city. As soon as he went down, another Qiang general who had no skin helmet but wore a mink hat stood up.
The general of the mink hat shouted: "Master, the villain also asks for an arrow. Go down and grab a centurion for the king, dig out his heart and stir-fry it, and serve wine for the king!"
Li Wenhou laughed and said, "You and me are not short, but you are still so unaware. The officers who led a hundred men in the Han army were not called centurion, but the chief of the treasury. Okay, go!"
The sable hat Qiang general strided down the city to chase the pheasant Feng Qiang general.
Li Wenhou was about to enter the city tower and go to beat the drums to cheer, but he saw another Qiang general jumping out. The Qiang general wore a big earring on his right ear, bald head and no hat, and looked very fierce.
The Qiang general of the big earring shouted: "Master, let the villain go down too. Catch a trunk and grow it back, take out the intestines, stir-fry them and make a plate of fat intestines and serve them with wine!"
Seeing that his generals were so active in fighting, Li Wenhou was indescribable to express his happiness. Only when the soldiers and generals dared to fight, their territory could grow bigger and bigger. They could not show their ability to fight with ordinary Han troops. Only by fighting with strong troops like the Fujiao Army can they show their military power. In the future, they would make the Han army frightened. What else could the Qiang army, which could even defeat the Fujiao Army?
Li Wenhou waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go too. Dig a few more intestines that grow in the trough. My favorite is to eat fat intestines!"
The Qiang general turned around and was about to go down, two Qiang generals rushed out, and these two Qiang generals were two brothers.
The elder brother Qiang General shouted: "King, let us brothers go down to the city to fight, capture the chief of Lai Tun, take out the internal organs, and make soup for the king!"
The younger brother Qiang General opened his mouth and thought to himself: "Brother, you are wrong. You have made all the internal organs. Then I will give me nothing left!" He shouted: "Master, go down and grab the Fujiao Army's garrison leader, dig out their... their eyes, put them on the ground and listen to the sound, and help the king enjoy the wine!"
The Qiang generals burst into laughter and said that these two brothers were interesting and much crueler than the previous three!
Li Wenhou was extremely happy, and he said, "Okay, okay! I have a man who dares to fight, why worry about the injustice of Jincheng County, why worry about Liangzhou not belonging to me? You all go and kill the enemy. If we don't kill the Fujiao Army, we will make the move, and let them die without even getting off the horse!"
The brothers Qiang generals went down to the city together and went to chase the Qiang generals ahead, afraid that they would go too late, so all the Fujiao soldiers were killed by them.
Li Wenhou smiled at the remaining Qiang generals and said, "We have the most warriors, and they all dare to fight. I really hope that Beigong Boyu is here and let him see our son's majesty!"
The Qiang generals nodded together. In terms of number of people, they were not as good as Beigong Boyu's army. But when it comes to bravery, look, their generals are the bravest, and they are not afraid of the horn-boosting soldiers!
At this time, the pheasant-ling Qiang general had already rushed out of the city gate. He couldn't wait to rush out of the city gate, rushed towards the Fujiao Army, went to fight with the vanguard officer, killed the formation and made his best efforts!
As soon as he left the door, the sable hat Qiang general rushed out. The difference between the two was only more than ten feet. He was really brave in front of the formation, and no one was willing to fall behind.
Li Wenhou stepped into the city tower, grabbed the drumstick, and hit the big leather drum, pounded the dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong
However, only more than ten beats of the drum, the pheasant Ling Qiang general below had already faced with the vanguard officer of the Fujiao Army!
Suddenly, the Qiang generals on the city let out a shocking cry, and someone shouted: "Master, your head is smashed!"
Li Wenhou said angrily: "How come my head is broken? It's the head of the vanguard of Fujiao!" The generals who left the city won a great victory in the first battle. Even if the city said the wrong thing, he didn't blame him much, and the drum beat even louder!
In just blinking, the Qiang generals shouted again: "The head is broken again, broken again..."
Li Wenhou was slightly stunned and broke again? Could it be that the Fujiao Army had two vanguard officers? His eyes were blocked by the Qiang generals lying on the battlements, and he could not see the battle situation below. He stopped and asked, "Does the Fujiao Army have two vanguard officers, or did he kill another treasury leader?"
No one heard his words, and the Qiang generals shouted for the third time: "The head was smashed again, my god..."
