This is the center of the Guanzhong Basin, about a hundred miles south of Chang'an. It has always been the northwest gateway of Chang'an. It was called Jiayi in ancient times, also known as Chiyang. After entering the Han Dynasty, because there were Bailuyuan, Menghouyuan, and Fengyuan in the territory,
The three large plains, also known as Sanyuan, have crisscrossed waterways and fertile land. They have always been the granary of Guanzhong. Even in this war-torn period, you can still see at a glance that the fields are full of heavy wheat. In more than a month,
It's time for a good harvest. If it weren't for the war that's raging all over Guanzhong, it would have been another good year.
But the ruthless war disrupted all this. The Sanyuan area has now become a battlefield. Three days ago, almost at the same time as Fu Jian sent troops to Chang'an, Yao Chang personally led the main force of 30,000 Qiang troops to set off from the Lingbiao area to defeat Xiao.
He entered the Guanzhong Pass and went straight to the Guanzhong Plain area. He originally wanted to plunder the granaries and people in the Guanzhong area, but he did not expect that he would collide with Fu Jian who was leading his army to the north. Yao Chang himself did not expect that Fu Jian would personally lead the army.
During the crusade, I originally wanted to make a sneak attack to grab food, but I encountered the furious Fu Jian. His momentum was reduced by three points before he was beaten, so he had to camp and defend.
Fu Jian stood on the wall of Zhaoshiwu. This fort was one of the large and small forts built by powerful men from all over Guanzhong when the Xinmang regime collapsed in the late Western Han Dynasty. It has survived hundreds of years of wind and rain and has not collapsed.
, Sanhe soil was mixed with glutinous rice slurry to achieve concrete-like strength under ancient conditions. These large and small forts dotted on the Guanzhong Plain were the last refuges for the people of Guanzhong in troubled times. They not only trained these Guanzhong men
Their fighting nature also provides them with the conditions to build a dock and defend themselves. No matter how many times they experience turbulent times and chaos, they can survive. This unique dock is also similar to the castles and military fortresses of medieval Europe.
, can be said to be the most meritorious.
Fu Jian looked around and saw a wide open area dozens of miles away, with a panoramic view. In front of Zhao's Wu, the Qin army's camp stood opposite the Qiang army's camp. The sound of war drums and Qiang flutes on both sides shook the heaven and earth.
, tens of thousands of troops fought in formation, staggering in and out, the military formations on both sides were intertwined like canines, advancing or retreating according to the orders of the commanders of their respective armies, and arrows flying from time to time covered the sky.
Blocking the sun, while blocking the sun's rays, it also spreads waves of death on the ground.
Fu Jian's expression gradually became relaxed. He pointed at the battlefield ahead with his riding crop and said with a smile: "Although the Qiang thieves are a little stronger than the ordinary mob and can fight in formation, they are not the opponents of our Qin Iron Army. They can withstand it."
It's not easy after such a long time. General Yang, look, how long can they last?"
The person called General Yang was Yang Bi, the guard general of the Qin State, who was also the general of the Imperial Army who had long commanded Fu Jian's Yulin Army. During the last Feishui Battle, Yang Bi stayed in Chang'an and did not go out to fight, but this time Fu
When Jian took stock of his troops, he suddenly discovered that except for General Dou Chong of the Left and his son-in-law, Yang Ding, the fierce general of Qiu Chi, there was almost no one available, so he could only take the second-rate generals Yang Bi, Xu Cheng, and Mao Sheng who had long been used for defense.
After becoming a general, Fu Jian was used to famous generals such as Mao Dang, Shi Yue, Zhang Hao, etc., but he found that fighting was so uncomfortable. Facing these Qiang troops, many of whom were not even equipped with armor, he fought for a long time without winning.
.
A trace of shame flashed across Yang Bi's face: "King of Heaven, the generals are incompetent and cannot win quickly. However, our army has the upper hand so far. As long as you give the order, let us use the cavalry to attack from the flank. We will be able to do so."
Big win!"
Fu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "It should have been like this a long time ago. You were too conservative and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy after they were defeated, giving them a chance to reorganize. Now, I am ordering you to lead your troops to carry out the best cavalry.
We must attack in separate lanes and defeat the enemy within an hour. If you cannot do this, come and see us!"
Yang Bi, Mao Sheng, Xu Cheng and other generals all clasped their fists and said solemnly: "Promise!"
On the other side, there is the Qiang army camp and a high platform.
Yao Chang was dressed in the clothes of a soldier, standing in an inconspicuous corner, while his shadow double, wearing a general's robe and armor, stood among the generals in front, pointing pretendingly, this corner is good, high enough
, and quiet enough, more than a dozen messengers squatting behind the high platform knelt on one knee, ready to rush out at any time to pass the instructions issued by Yao Chang to the soldiers fighting on the front line.
Yao Chang frowned deeply and muttered: "It's broken, it's broken."
A muscular and thick warrior on one side was Yao Chang's younger brother Yao Yimai. He held a big ax in his hand and slung it on his shoulder. He frowned and said, "Brother, you are too careful.
Well, now it is clear that the brothers in front are fighting well. With our equipment, we can fight the Qin army back and forth, which is quite good. I think as long as the reserve team is pressed up and we attack again, we can still win.
It’s possible.”
Yao Chang frowned: "Yin Mai, you are so brave and foolhardy. The Qin army clearly had the upper hand, but it always left room for victory and refused to chase. This gave us a chance to regroup. Obviously
They are afraid of our ambush, but now their two wings have begun to move, and they should be preparing to attack with fine cavalry. At this time, you still want to counterattack? It would be good if you can withdraw!"
Yao Yinmai laughed: "They are going to send out cavalry? Great. Brother, can't the Tiefu Huns cavalry we recruited from Lingbei this time be used? Please give me two thousand cavalry.
, not too many, just two thousand, we can definitely defeat the enemy army!"
Yao Chang said in a deep voice: "Absolutely not. Although the Tiefu Xiongnu are fierce, they are always cunning. If the enemy is weak, they will pursue them, and if the enemy is strong, they will disperse. We cannot expect to fight a tough battle. Yin Mai, you bring three thousand cavalry over, all
Do not engage in a battle with the enemy. If the enemy retreats, you must cover the evacuation of the infantry. Remember, your task is to cover the retreat of the front troops to the camp, and you must not retreat forward!"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Yao Yimai's face, and he shook his head: "I know, cover your retreat and don't pursue."
As he spoke, he carried a big ax, jumped on a horse beside him, and roared out.
Next to Yao Chang, a scholar in blue shirt in his thirties frowned. He was Yao Chang's think tank, Yin Wei from Tianshui. This time Yao Chang raised an army, this man contributed a lot and is now being reused as a battalion commander.
The Sima on the left center, consulting the military aircraft, said in a low voice: "My Lord, General Yinmai is brave but not wise, and the Tiefu Xiongnu cavalry is unreliable, so I am afraid he will not be able to take on this important task. I thought it would be better to deploy archers to occupy the archery tower.
We used strong bows and crossbows to block the position and cover the retreat of the front troops into the camp. As for the enemy cavalry attacking on the flanks, they were unable to stop them. We could only use the defensive horse and chariot formations in front of the camp to slightly reduce losses."
