The forward of the Southern Zhou Army attacked confidently, but was beaten to pieces by the fierce opponent.
There is no rationale for this kind of encounter. How can we start the battle slowly and hide the reserve team for timely reinforcements...
No such thing.
It's just a free-for-all.
What is tested at this time is the quality and experience of the soldiers.
The experience of the Southern Zhou Army...
After holding on for half an hour, the Southern Zhou general decisively ordered the evacuation.
Just when Pei Jian was about to order a chase, Han Bi came.
Behind him, King Qin led the main force and arrived in time.
The two armies stopped and faced each other from a distance.
The summer wind swept through the army with a heat wave.
Han Bi looked at the big flag and suddenly smiled, "I heard that the King of Qin was less than thirty, but there seems to be no one in the annals of history who could build such a foundation with bare hands before he was thirty!"
"No," the staff member said.
"To be honest, even if I face Shi Zhongtang, I won't be afraid at all. But when I face the King of Qin directly, I can't help but think about his achievements in the conquests over the years."
Northern Liao is a behemoth!
But he also fell under the hooves of King Qin's horse.
How about the Great Week?
Da Zhou, who had relied on Northern Liao to survive, was now an orphan.
The staff member said: "As long as we stay steady, there is hope."
"The Yingshui defense line!" Han Bi said sarcastically: "In Bianjing City, everyone from the emperor to the common people are very optimistic, thinking that even if they take 10,000 steps back, Yingshui will stop the Northern Xinjiang army. But they don't want to think about it. Could it be that the Northern Xinjiang army is still there?
There are no craftsmen in the army? Is it difficult to build a wooden bridge?"
"They are all sitting in a well and looking at the sky!" Han Bi rarely sneered at the emperor.
Opposite, King Qin had good eyesight. He tried hard to see, but he still couldn't see clearly the people under the banner on the opposite side.
"I met Han Bi last time when I was on an envoy to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. He was a very majestic man. And unlike those civil officials, this man had a good attitude towards warriors."
The King of Qin said: "This man is not a fool who waits for war on paper. If he dares to lead an army here, he must have something to rely on or a purpose."
Wang Laoer is back.
"Your Highness, there are more than 50,000 troops on the opposite side."
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand less!"
Han Ji said: "Those people went to Jinzhou? In this case, Jiang Cunzhong must be careful."
"Won't!"
It was rare for Yang Lue to speak during a military meeting, and everyone looked at him.
"If those men and horses go to Jinzhou City, Jiang Cunzhong can lead the army and retreat slowly. The main force of our army is not far away, and it is difficult for the enemy to surround him. In this way, Jinzhou City seems to be saved, but those men and horses entered Jinzhou
City, and then His Highness led the army back... It's still a situation of catching a turtle in a jar. Han Bi can't be so stupid!"
"Unless..." He Lianrong touched his bald head, "Unless he thinks he can defeat His Highness!"
"I'm here alone, but Han Bi doesn't move!"
King Qin pointed forward, "Army, move forward! I want to see if Han Bi has such courage!"
The northern Xinjiang army has more than 40,000 troops, and the opposite side has more than 50,000 troops.
In terms of numbers, the Northern Xinjiang Army was inferior.
But on one side are warriors who have fought hundreds of battles, and on the other side are soldiers who have never seen blood.
There is a fundamental difference between seeing blood and not seeing blood.
The so-called seeing blood here does not mean seeing people bleed, but having fought with the enemy with one's own hands, or even beheaded the enemy.
This is called seeing blood.
If such a sergeant is trained hard enough, he will become a fierce soldier if he does not die.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, the Southern Zhou Dynasty has been in good weather in recent years. Except for the rebellion of refugees, there have been no wars in the country.
Until Fang Chong led the northern expedition.
Therefore, there were not many warriors in the Southern Zhou army, and they were all the treasures of the generals.
The way to expand the army is simple to say, that is, to form the core group with strong soldiers and veterans. For example, one veteran soldier among ten people can lead the team, or several strong soldiers among a hundred people can lead the team.
In this way, the old lead the new, and after several battles, this army will naturally transform into shape.
This is a quick fix.
But usually this kind of fighting with the old leading the new usually starts on a small scale.
For example, suppress bandits or quell civil unrest. These types of battles are more certain and can be used to train troops calmly.
Most of the so-called tough soldiers and veterans in Han Bi's army had only participated in fighting to suppress civil unrest. A very few were soldiers who were defeated last time following Fang Chong.
It's not that Han Bi didn't want to mobilize a large number of soldiers who participated in the Northern Expedition, but he couldn't.
After those soldiers followed Fang Chong and fled back to Bianjing, they were all in bad condition, and their morale was disturbingly low.
Introducing such sergeants into the army will only hinder the army and affect morale.
"Prime Minister Han!"
Someone said uneasily: "The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."
Is it a fight or something?
Fighting, fifty thousand versus forty thousand.
But look at the appearance of those generals, none of them are confident.
When King Qin's banner appears, he can serve as an army of ten thousand men.
Han Bi faced a choice.
If he retreats, his morale will inevitably suffer.
But if there is a decisive battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army...
Han Bi raised his hand.
The generals were breathing rapidly.
The soldiers around were a little nervous.
"Retreat slowly!"
He didn't say retreat, but retreat.
The cavalry of the Southern Zhou Army came forward to cover the evacuation of the infantry.
"Guard them in turn." Han Bi looked at the Chinese army's banner opposite.
The Southern Zhou Army took turns covering the area, gradually leaving the Northern Xinjiang Army's sight.
"Han Bi really doesn't have the courage!" Jiang He'er was very happy, "When I traveled around the world with my master, I heard about Han Bi's deeds and what he said about the flying general. If I hadn't been worried about His Majesty's suspicion, I would have led the army to the north.
Look at it today! It’s not worthy of its name!”
He was an opponent of the Southern Zhou's Northern Expedition to Hanbi last time, and even if he was not opposed, it would not be his turn to lead the expedition.
According to the ancestral law, generals and ministers like him have to stay in Bianjing for the rest of their lives and should not go far away if nothing happens.
If the Northern Xinjiang Army hadn't pressed down on the border this time and the situation was critical, Han Bi would still have to squat in Bianjing and eat old rice.
A rider rushed out from the opposite side and shouted: "Old Han, His Highness would like to ask you... how about we go back and have a drink together?"
It was Wang Laoer who shouted.
The cavalry behind the palace conveyed these words to Han Bi.
Han Bi looked back on his horse.
"next time!"
He said in such a firm tone.
…
"Han Bi's attack this time is a bit unwise!"
Han Ji frowned, and the conspiracy theory started again, "He is not a fool. He has been immersed in the army for many years. He should naturally know why the Southern Zhou Army was defeated by the Northern Xinjiang Army with the same number of troops. But he still led the army here.
.You said you were restraining him, but he walked away at the touch of a finger. What is this restraint?"
"A trip in vain? This is not in line with Han Bi's ability." He Lianrong was also a little confused, "What is the purpose of his move?"
"Give Bianjing an explanation?" Some people extended the conspiracy theory to the Southern Zhou court.
King Qin pointed to the direction of Jinzhou City, "Don't forget, Han Bi's command is missing almost 20,000 horses. Where are they? Check it out!"
Soon, the news came.
"There are thousands of cavalry approaching Jinzhou City from the south."
"This is a containment." Pei Jian said, "Where are the more than 10,000 troops?"
"The baggage trains need to be guarded, and the grain roads also need to be guarded by men and horses."
This is the most reliable answer.
The army returns.
There was deathly silence at the top of the city.
"The King of Qin is back."
"Prime Minister Han retreated too quickly! It was my first time going to a brothel even faster than him!"
"How can we defend Jinzhou City?"
Chang Xing said calmly: "This city cannot be defended. This man... look at those soldiers, how many of them were discouraged by this. Although I don't know much about martial arts, I also know that Prime Minister Han has orchestrated such a plan.
Send reinforcements and destroy the morale of our Jinzhou City defenders."
"Zhizhou, Prime Minister Han has tried his best." Huang Zhang defended Han Bi, "If Prime Minister Han does not send troops, we can hold on for five to seven days at most."
"But after he sends out troops, he can hold on for at most two days!"
Chang Xing really gritted his teeth and hated it, "Xiang Fang is unreliable, I thought, this Prime Minister Han will always be more reliable, right? I didn't expect that they are all the same! That's all, I just want not to insult my ancestors."
"The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."
The morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army was greatly boosted, and they took advantage of the situation to launch a more fierce offensive.
The morale of the defenders was greatly reduced. Huang Zhang was forced to lead his reserve team to reinforce the troops.
…
"This retreat may seem like an end to the end, but it can actually overwhelm the enemy."
The army retreated. Han Bi stationed his horse and looked north. He said calmly: "As for the defenders of Jinzhou, Chang Xing is a man of integrity, and Huang Zhang is even more so. They only need to hold on for a day or two, waiting for the 10,000 cavalry to arrive from northern Xinjiang."
The army suddenly launched from behind..."
At that time, he led his army to cover up and kill them.
"I have thought about the King of Qin and prepared some plans to fight with him. However, after much deliberation, I found that our Zhou soldiers are not as strong as the Northern Xinjiang army. In this way, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If you want to win, you have to go out.
Strange Soldier."
Han Bi's massive suicidal attack not only covered the 10,000 cavalry who had sneaked into the rear of the Northern Xinjiang Army, but also made the Northern Xinjiang Army feel a little elated.
This is a series of plans, which can be called wonderful.
…
On the second day, the Northern Xinjiang Army attacked with more eagerness.
The defenders at the top of the city suffered heavy casualties. When someone was found pretending to be dead, Huang Zhang said to Chang Xing: "Tomorrow will probably be the day when you and I die for our country."
"I'm... ready." Chang Xing said calmly.
On that day, the last soldier of the Northern Xinjiang Army to evacuate said contemptuously to the defenders: "Tomorrow, kneel down and say yes!"
The defenders were stunned.
This is a sign of lost faith.
…
A cavalry group quietly appeared more than ten miles behind the Northern Xinjiang Army.
They hid in the mountains until a few men wearing strange clothes, almost invisible in the dusk, came in.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army found nothing."
"good!"
The leading general Feng Chen said happily: "Prime Minister Han has been planning for a long time. Tonight, the Northern Xinjiang Army will be frightened!"
Feng Chen nodded to the men, "The secret agents of the Lover's Department are really great, thank you for your hard work."
"It should be!" the leader of the secret agents said solemnly: "Years ago, our brothers shipped the batch of treasures from the previous dynasty in Chang'an, but they were discovered by the King of Qin. That time was the heaviest loss since the establishment of the Lovers Division. So I heard that
It is to deal with King Qin, so the commander ordered us to take action."
Looking at the arrogance of these men, Feng Chen knew that these men must be the most outstanding spies of the Qing Dynasty.
Relying on these spies along the way, ten thousand cavalry were able to quietly escape into the mountains.
Feng Chen did not dare to go out during the day until late at night...
"Set off!"
Ten thousand cavalry came out.
Go all the way to the northern Xinjiang army camp.
The end of ugly times.
Feng Chen led his army five miles away from the Northern Xinjiang Army camp.
If you go any further, you will definitely be discovered by the secret sentinel of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Feng Chen mounted his horse.
He glanced back.
Everyone is under his command.
Looking back...
Then I saw a black shadow suddenly appear in front of me.
