Chapter 353 Engagement
The army dragged on and stopped. It was originally a journey of two days, three or four days, but fortunately, there were no twists and turns along the way. Except for the road being encountered by a few bandits who were robbed on the road, the other journeys were quite calm.
I don’t know whether this people were gathered by the rebels, or they fled into the mountains and avoided the war. I didn’t meet a few people along the way. Even the villages and towns that were once populated by the past were already covered with yellow grass and had been uninhabited for a long time.
"Where have these people gone? Otherwise, our brothers can still make a fortune on the road." After finally passing by a village, many soldiers left the army and ran into the village to find some food, wealth, women, etc., but unexpectedly, there was no one there, and they could only leave the village in disappointment and return to the marching team.
"Come on, Ergouzi, I know that you have broken into three wealthy families in Nanzheng City and stole a lot of good things. Now you pass by a small village and you still want to go into Balabala. You are really enough." Someone in the team joked about Ergouzi who had just entered the village, which caused several people nearby to burst into laughter.
Ergouzi obviously didn't think so, and retorted with confidence: "You guys, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still a piece of meat, so that's what life is." Ergouzi's rebuttal made the soldiers around him laugh even more happily.
Jia Mingqi accidentally caught a glimpse of the movement here, frowned in displeasure, and then called several personal soldiers to whisper in his ears. Then the personal soldiers nodded and walked towards Ergou, "The army will march, no noise will be allowed, and those who violate the order will be killed."
Several people who were boasting suddenly felt a chill around their necks, shrank their necks and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Jia Mingqi sighed. Most of the 20,000 people under his command were the civilians they used to attack Nanzheng. At that time, there were nearly 100,000 people in total. It was just a battle of siege. People were in a state of siege. There were countless people who died in battle and fled. Now only 50,000 people were left to enter the city to share the fruits of victory.
Its rise is brisk, and its fall is sudden.
It is not a good thing to rise too quickly. This is not a big internal contradiction than imagined. Wang Wanjin, who is in charge of the plate, naturally wanted to enjoy the power alone, which naturally caused strong dissatisfaction among the leaders of the rebel army under his command. Among them, the one with the most intense resistance was Wang Guoxun.
Wang Guoxun was born as a bandit. Before joining Wang Wanjin's team, he had already brought hundreds of horse bandits to his side. Later, Wang Wanjin attacked Hanzhong. Wang Guoxun realized that there was great benefits, so he took the initiative to go down the mountain and asked to join Wang Wanjin. After joining the gang, Wang Guoxun, who was born as a bandit, naturally could not pee in a pot, but he just maintained a superficial balance.
Later, Wang Guoxun relied on the previous channels to grow his horse team to 2,000. It was precisely with these two thousand horse teams that Wang Guoxun had the confidence to compete with Wang Wanjin.
Thinking of his own side, Jia Mingqi couldn't help but sigh again.
This is the spy who scattered it back and report, "Xixiang is twenty miles ahead. The Tian family soldiers who besieged Xixiang are now rushing towards this side."
Those people in the Tian family dared to attack their army head-on? Jia Mingqi felt a little incredible. He had 20,000 people, so how many people in the Tian family had? He had only 5,000 people killed. Could it be that he thought he could fight four with one?
The generals next to him were clamoring, saying that the Tian family was so arrogant, so we just rushed up and chopped him up; the other said, you are right, I think so too.
Anyway, the Wang family generals who had just conquered Nanzheng all thought that the world's king was the first, Wang Wanjin, and his third brother. They didn't take anyone seriously. In addition, they obviously had more people than the other party, and they beat one of them by four. What are you waiting for? They rushed up and beat him up.
Jia Mingqi is worthy of being a steady person trusted by Wang Wanjin. It is rare to be able to remain sober at this time. Although he also thinks that there are more people and fewer people, the chance of defeating this battle is more than 80%, considering that his army's forward has arrived near Xixiang and the back team is still more than ten miles away, it is better to wait for the back army to come up.
At that moment, he pressed the impulse of his generals to seek war and ordered the army to set up a formation on the spot. The decision made by Jia Mingqi was extremely correct, but this decision was not understood by everyone. At least the group of generals under Jia Mingqi who were not as big as a butt did not understand what planning meant and then acted.
This order made the generals below curse, and they felt that when Jia Mingqi gave birth to him, he gave birth to two less eggs. His mother's obvious victory could still be slow. What is the thing without eggs?
At that moment, four or five generals led the three or four thousand soldiers under their command, regardless of Jia Mingqi's orders, and wanted to rush towards him and fight with the other party. In their opinion, after they took down the Tian family's generals, they were still in front of Jia Mingqi, and they saw what Jia Mingqi had to say.
Fortunately, Jia Mingqi discovered it in time and sent someone to stop the group of mixed balls. Otherwise, they and the soldiers from the Tian family would rush to each other and be defeated by others. Then they cried and shouted and fled back, they would most likely destroy their own team and play the ball together.
After all, he tried to persuade him, but in the end he killed a few people. The bloody scene finally scared the crowd. The group of old men gathered together. Although they were all in the east and west, it was at least much better than rushing up one by one.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Tian family came here under Han Yuan's command.
On the battlefield of cold weapons, the physical strength of the soldiers is extremely important and is the key to determining the outcome. Han Yuan is much more experienced than Jia Mingqi. He is still five miles away, so Han Yuan has already let the soldiers stop and rest. Taking this opportunity, Han Yuan carefully observed the opponent on the other side. At this time, Jia Mingqi was still gathering soldiers.
From a distance, Han Yuan could already hear the chaotic sounds in the other army formation like a vegetable market. Looking at him, he saw that there were many soldiers in the other army formation, or in the crowd, eager to try and crowd forward. Another group of people were holding whips and whipping the rising soldiers desperately, driving the rising soldiers back.
Seeing this scene, Han Yuan almost couldn't help laughing, "The spy reported to me that Wang Wanjin's army was like a refugee, transiting like a refugee, and was chaotic and vulnerable. I thought it was not believed. I didn't expect that the spy would look up to Wang Wanjin. If Wang Wanjin's tens of thousands of troops were like this, we would directly fight to Nanzheng. At that time, this entire Hanzhong might be the territory of our brothers."
Han Yuan's words made Li Jingshi, Tian Jingyou and others laughed, and the suppressed and tense atmosphere when they came was wiped out. Li Jingshi even said: "Han Tou, otherwise we will really go to Nanzheng to see it. Maybe we can really take Nanzheng. Then I would like to recommend you to the King of Hanzhong."
Half an hour had passed quietly during the laughter. Han Yuan felt that he had almost rested. He ordered the soldiers to form a formation, and then Tian Jiabing, who formed a battle formation, killed the other side.
At this time, most of the soldiers who were behind Jia Mingqi arrived. Seeing Han Yuan leading his troops to fight, he was not afraid and rushed over to compete.
Hanyin County.
An army of thousands of people slowly approached Hanyin County. The soldiers guarding the city were shocked when they saw it. It was of great importance and he did not dare to make decisions. He immediately reported to the top and reported it layer by layer, which soon came to the ears of the guard general Tian Ji.
Tian Ji was also a slave from the Tian family. He had experienced it with Tian Shizhen at the beginning. When he heard a large army coming towards Hanyin, he was surprised. He immediately did not dare to neglect and appeared on the front of Hanyin's city.
The army got closer and closer, and soon standing on the top of the city, you could see the flags he had roped and the military uniforms he wore on the soldiers. The gray-white coat was mixed with some common objects used by officers and soldiers, and the high-flying flag of the field.
