Chapter 400 Such a coup (2)
On May 15, Guan Yi and Jiang Wei's team marched to Jincheng County in Jincheng County.
This place was famous in later generations, Lanzhou. But now, its location is quite awkward. To the south of it are the five counties of Longxi, with 10,000 Han troops stationed. To the northwest, it is Xiping County, the horse farm of the Han Dynasty. Ma Jie led heavy troops to guard it. In this middle area, it is the weakest place in the Han Dynasty. However, there is also the Yellow River passing through the city, and the land on both sides is suitable for farming and grazing. Therefore, this is a place where the farming Han people and nomadic aliens often have conflicts and conflicts.
Before Ji Han took control of this place, in order to attract foreign races grazing in this area to help him attack the other side. Whether it is Cao Wei or Shu Han, they all seemed particularly gentle to the foreign races here. The Han people often suffer and suffer losses. But now, their positions have been lost: Ji Han's attitude towards foreign races is far less friendly than before. The Han people here finally stood up completely.
"Huh~~ It's getting late, so let's camp here today. Zifeng, I've taken the blame for you. You have to continue cooking tonight!"
"Good General, you are so shameless, did you take the blame yourself?"
The jokes of the old and the young actually revolve around three fresh things: rapeseed oil, iron pot, and stir-frying.
Li Mi and others collected about one stone of rapeseed in the Roman Empire. After taking it back to the Han area, Guan Yi planted them all in the Hanzhong Basin. When Guan Yi and his friends went on a tour this time, it happened to be the season for rapeseed harvest. So Guan Yi was very moved by the index finger and instructed the blacksmith of Hanzhong to make an iron pot overnight. Then they cooked themselves and made a table of stir-frying dishes with fresh rapeseed oil that had just been squeezed out.
The Dahan did not have rapeseed plants. In the past, the edible oils were pigs, beefs and other animal fats, as well as soybean oil, sesame oil, etc. There is no doubt that the taste of these oils is a bit strange than rapeseed oil and is not suitable for cooking. So at least in this era, there were no woks and stir-frying dishes. Therefore, when Guan Yi brought out this table of cooking, the big guys who accompanied him almost bit off their tongues.
"Hey, Zifeng, this rapeseed alone can play such a great role. I am looking forward to how much other good varieties brought back by Ling Bo and the others can play."
"Hahaha, General, after returning to Chang'an, call your cook, can I teach you personally?"
"That's what you said, good, this matter is settled."
While the two of them were talking and laughing, they suddenly frowned at the same time: there was a slight vibration on the ground.
"Come?"
"Well, it must be here."
"very good!"
Jincheng County has been in non-border areas for a long time, coupled with nomadic and mixed farming, so the city walls here have long been rotten. Guan Yi team did not station in the county that night, but camped on a mound outside the city.
Because this team was Roman, the Han army camped a little different this time.
In the Roman military system, whenever the army is expected to stop, it is necessary to camp. The first task of camping is to dig trenches to encircle itself. When the Roman delegation arrived in Chang'an and exchanges between Roman soldiers and Han soldiers, the generals of the Han army quickly accepted this rule and quickly implemented it throughout the army. Therefore, in the Han army camp that night, the tents might not have been built, but all the trenches surrounding the camp were dug.
Then, the Tufa Xianbei and Nan'anqiang that were raided this time.
This raid team, the Tufa army produced 3,000 people and the Nan'anqiang produced 2,000 people. A total of 5,000 cavalry team did not say anything after reaching the Guan Yi army's camp, and directly launched the raid. The Guan Yi army did not ask any questions, and directly served various bows and arrows!
As the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, there were constant cry of people or horses. At the beginning, Ruo Luoba and Yao Pingtong, who led the team, didn't care: When fighting, there was no one who could die. As long as you rushed in, everything would be easy to say!
But after such a battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour, the two commanders felt something was wrong: this was a camp built by the other party temporarily overnight. Why did the large army still be on the periphery after so long?
"If Luoba, the Han people's camps are strange!"
"What's going on?"
"There is a trench outside their camp, which is not too deep, but very wide. Our war horses can't jump over! After stepping into the trench, there are many small pits inside, and most of the war horses sprained their ankles. Then our warriors were trapped inside!"
"..." After a brief silence, Ruoluoba pulled hard towards the messenger's clothes: "I don't care about that! This is a battle that will suppress all the lives of 100,000 people in our tribe! If you can't take down everyone's heads, then everyone's heads will be taken down! Go and make it clear to the people in front of you, and you are not allowed to retreat! In addition to being killed by me personally, after returning to the tribe, I will also kill all his children and sell all his wives, concubines, and relatives as slaves!"
"Roar!Roar! No matter how many casualties there are, we must continue to attack! Use dead people and horses to fill the pit for me. If it is not enough, use living people to fill it!" On the other side, Yao Pingtong was also like a madman in the Qiang army: "If you cannot win this battle, our Nan'an Qiang will be extinct! My warriors, for the reproduction of our tribe, we must move forward bravely!"
As two large tribes with a tribe of about 100,000, the Tufa Xianbei and Nan'anqiang were able to mobilize more than 10,000 cavalry. This time, in order not to attract the attention of local governments in Jihan, the scale was deliberately reduced. The soldiers brought out this time were of course selected from the best: outstanding combat power, loyalty and courage were sufficient. Therefore, although this trench caused a lot of casualties, under the strong suppression of the leaders of both sides, the soldiers of the two tribes still charged bravely without fear of death.
The shallow trench was soon filled with several sections, and more and more cavalrymen of the two tribes began to concentrate on these filled areas. It was inevitable that the camp was broken by the other side.
"Glory belongs to Rome!"
On this dark and chaotic night, a team of 100 people wearing striped armor and long helmets began to line up. On the other side of them, the Han army's spearmen began to line up silently.
"Has the torch tower been built?"
"The Grand Sima, it has been built."
"Good, then light the fire!"
With Guan Yi's order, a Han soldier raised his torch high and climbed up a simple tower that was temporarily built, and then put the torch inside.
"The Han people are igniting fire and asking for help! Hurry up! Speed up! Be sure to take this place tonight! Otherwise, if the Longxi Army or the Xiping Army arrives, our army will be finished!"
"Ha~~ These idiots thought I was igniting fire for help." He tugged at the alien cavalry who were whistling around with contempt and contempt: "General, please point the direction for Yi."
"Haha, Zifeng, I have already seen the weak place of the enemy and the place where the commander is issued. However, I should come here in person to lead the army to counterattack."
"General!"
"Zifeng doesn't have to say much. If this country does not have Jiang Wei, it will be a little more difficult to fight, but it will still unify the world in the end. If Zifeng is not available, even survival will be a problem."
After saying this, Jiang Wei turned over and ran quickly to the front of a pair of cavalrymen.
This cavalry had about two hundred people, including about fifty cavalry. The war horses under their crotch were obviously much higher than other cavalry. Not only that, these more than fifty cavalry war horses, together with the knights on their backs, were all covered with armor.
Jiang Wei came to the team leader and bowed to the two hundred knights.
"We swear to follow the general to the death!"
“Ahuramazda!”
After silent mobilization, Jiang Wei turned the horse's head and pointed the tip of the spear in one direction. The surrounding infantry quickly built thick wooden boards on the trench. Then Jiang Wei led the more than 200 cavalrymen to rush out like lightning.
For non-military and professional time travelers like Guan Yi, fighting means doing a good job of logistics equipment, then fighting fiercely, and then crushing strength. Such a war form does not have the aesthetic beauty of art at all.
For commanders like Jiang Wei who have only tens of thousands of people for a long time and often have to deal with several times or more than ten times as many enemies as before, the command of the front enemy must have superb artistic quality, otherwise the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.
So, on this dark night, all Guan Yi could do was organize the infantry and rely on the camp to defend well. However, Jiang Wei could find the weakest place in the enemy's defense and the position of the enemy's commander from the chaos surrounding the surroundings!
