Although Xindu Mansion has no large army, it has five thousand special soldiers. Their duty is to guard the official warehouse of Xindu City. In addition to some of the government troops, this place is also a transfer place for the five northern governments to pay levies.
There is still a lot of money and food. The Xiaoguo Army wanted to get these materials in full, so it did not easily anger Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou who was temporarily stationed here.
The two prefectures plus the soldiers of the cavalry capital have a total of 50,000 troops divided into five, and they entered Xindu Mansion from the front and left and right sides, with the target until Xindu City. If the government troops of Jizhou are still there, the Xiaoguo Army will definitely be
I dare not enter Jizhou with the 50,000 army. Unfortunately, except for a few soldiers guarding the city, the rest of the prefectures in northern Jizhou entered Youzhou.
Nearly 10,000 Zuowu Guards in Xin'an City became cages and trapped in Yuyang Prefecture, while nearly 10,000 Jizhou Prefectures in the west were not much better. Nearly 10,000 troops were operating, and five thousand civilians were transporting food and supplies. Now Xiao
The Guo army occupied the Hejian Mansion behind them, and their subsequent food and supplies were cut off.
The Xiaoguo Army did not send a large army to siege, but instead let nearly 10,000 new recruits in the five new recruits continue to harass them, just like training. Various traps on the road, and all kinds of terrain were used by the captain of the new recruits in the Xiaoguo Army.
They were so troubled that they were so miserable. In the middle of the night, gongs and drums were ringing, pretending to attack the camp, and not allowing the Jizhou Prefecture Army to rest well at night. After several days, the Jizhou Prefecture Army yawned up and down.
What's even more serious is that the food of the Jizhou Prefecture Army was gone, the retreat was cut off, and it was impossible to advance and retreat. In the end, the commander of the army, Sima Yang, general of the Governor's Office, decided to go to Hengzhou Prefecture to seize the food and grass to replenish himself. Because, since
Xiaoguo's army invaded Jizhou, and its withdrawal would face a counterattack from the Xiaoguo's army. However, there were only more than 10,000 new soldiers in Hengzhou Prefecture. Of course, they did not count the county soldiers of each county, which was also Xiaoguo's.
What is the difference between military territory and other places.
"Report to the general, we have sent people to investigate thirty miles around, and all the villages are empty. More importantly, there is Xucheng fifty miles ahead, and there is no siege in our hands." Jizhou Prefecture
In the army's temporary camp, a captain frowned and said. Looking at his pale face and red eyes, he knew that he had not been very comfortable in recent days.
"Xucheng! There is not much food and grass left by our army, but there are 15,000 people in the camp that need to be supported. There is a strong city ahead... Damn it, why did it come to less than five in Hengzhou Prefecture?
What about the Xiaoguo Army of thousands of people? Why do you say that these 5,000 people are stationed in Hengzhou City, and the other counties are only hundreds. But what about now?" Sima Qing said with a grudge in his eyebrows and hatred.
"General, the army has insufficient food and grass, and the brothers are also exhausted. Not to mention that there are no sharp weapons to attack the city, even if there are, it is probably difficult to fight the Xiaoguo army with more than 10,000 soldiers."
The commander paused and said, "General, rumor... Xiaoguo Army has captured the four prefectures in northern Hebei. So what if we take down some cities in Hengzhou Prefecture? We are now in Youzhou and the mouse crossing the street.
, and they cannot get the support of the people, just rely on more than 10,000 soldiers..."
Sima Xiao looked up at the Duwei, his red eyes looked strange. The Duwei was seen by Sima Xiao, and his face was stiff and he said awkwardly: "General, my subordinates are talking nonsense, and they say..."
Sima Yang withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "Li Jiyuan, what is the rumor? It's not the false news that Xiaoguo Army sent to attack our military affairs. Don't talk nonsense anymore in the future, you are the commander of the first government."
Li Jiyuan, the commander of Cangzhou Prefecture, looked at Sima Hao and said, "General, do you think what they said is true or false? We have no way out now, and the road ahead is slim. The lives of 15,000 people in this camp are in the general. In his hand, he held it in his hand. In the eight days since he entered Hengzhou Prefecture, except for occupying some empty towns, the other three cities were guarded by the soldiers of Wan Xiaoguo Army, forcing us not to attack the city. The sky has only traveled three hundred miles, and it was harassed at night and the road was destroyed. Just go on like this..."
"Vice Li Du, what do you want to say? Tell me!"
"General, in the past eight days, the Xiaoguo Army has not attacked us. Not to mention anything else, we just destroyed the water, so we died here. We passed through three dangerous places, and the other party did not ambush and attack. He persuaded surrender many times." Li Jiyuan took a breath and continued, "If Xiaoguojun is impatient, we..."
"Are you afraid of death?" Sima Hao frowned and scolded.
Li Jiyuan said in a low voice: "General, as a commander of the government, I am a military lieutenant, so I am naturally not afraid of death. If I were to fight with the northern tribes, I would have no regrets to die. But what are we doing now? The Xiaoguo Army recovered I lost the land and saved the people from water and fire, but we put a cold knife behind them. I am really afraid of death for such a thing that has been infatuated for thousands of years. The subordinates sued their retreat!" After saying that, he turned around and came out of the big tent.
"Secretary?Secretary! It seems that you no longer want to regard me as the general in command. Oh... Governor, you said that you are doing this job... you should have been sick for a long time. Forget it, let's go. ”
Ten thousand soldiers were formed by the convergence of the three government troops. The situation is not good now, and they are all working on their own and are secretly planning something.
Other troops rest at night, but it was Jizhou's government's turn to rest half of the day and night. Now the army has no way out and its future is bleak. The morale of the whole army is sluggish, and it is moving forward without purpose, with three units in front, middle and back A little further apart, move forward slowly.
Looking at the soldiers in the middle of the army, Sima Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly, how can he fight this battle?
The army stopped again after walking for more than twenty miles. It was not that they wanted to stop, but that they had to stop because there were nearly ten thousand troops in front of them intercepting them.
After hearing the news, Sima Hao rode his horse forward and came to the front. His sight was at the extreme. A black line was lined up on the pipe. From a distance, there were three large infantry formations and two cavalry formations on the left and right. Standing there, silently waiting for the arrival of the Jizhou Prefecture Army.
"Tell the entire army to set up formations, beat drums, and advance slowly!"
"Dongdongdongdong..."
As the war drums of the Jizhou Prefecture Army sounded, the drummers of the Xiaoguo Army were also struggling the war drums. The sound of the war drums sounded, urging their soldiers to enter the state of combat immediately.
The sound of drums shook the entire pipeline, but the soldiers of the Jizhou Prefecture Army did not have the motivation to gather quickly as quickly as before. Many soldiers were still cursing and gathering, which made many soldiers frown.
As the distance got closer, Sima Hao discovered that in addition to 10,000 soldiers on the opposite side, there were more than 10,000 young and strong men located behind the formation, and there were about 3,000 cavalry teams on the other side.
Although the soldiers of Xiaoguo Army were new recruits, they obviously received strict training. After the drum sounded, they quickly formed the formation according to the officer's requirements and divided it into small squares. They were like fish scales. , layer by layer, inseparable. There are both competition and cooperation between each other. Once an attack is launched, they will be like mercury pouring into the ground, with a fierce momentum, rolling up huge waves, and rushing towards the enemy on the opposite side. When the Jizhou Prefecture Army approached and found that there was also a nervousness on their faces.
"Design! Quick!"
"Design! Quick!"
"Design! Quick!"
The speed of the Jizhou Prefecture Army was significantly slower. It was not that they were unable to set up the formation, but that the soldiers were not energetic at all. After the Xiaoguo Army had finished setting up the formation, they had already begun to advance slowly, but the Jizhou Prefecture Army There were still officers shouting loudly beside him, calling on the lazy soldiers to enter the designated position.
"General, the other party has a crossbow!" Zhang Yan, the commander of Zhaozhou Prefecture, pointed behind Xiaoguojun and said in a trembling voice.
Sima Hao looked in the direction Zhang Yan pointed, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, his face even more gloomy.
The soldiers on both sides looked at the opposite side and could see a dark head shaking slowly.
The cavalry formations on both sides of the Xiaoguo Army also started to move, but did not go straight to the Jizhou Prefecture Army, but ran towards the two sides, hundreds of meters apart, running parallel.
The military uniforms of the Xiaoguo Army are all red, mainly to distinguish them from those of other troops. The military uniforms of the northern barbarians are of different colors, but most of them are black, mainly gray, while the Yan ** team is mainly black. Zhao Xun Tong After Youzhou, the uniforms of the Xiaoguo Army were unified in red.
Red is a symbol of life, vitality, health, enthusiasm, vitality and joy. It is the most eye-catching, giving people a sense of visual proximity and expansion. Red is full of strength and impulse, symbolizing positive and moving forward. Artistic conception. The original job called the red small sword was changed to the black small sword.
In addition, the flag is the Flame Qilin Flag, and the red is the color of the Xiaoguo Army.
At this moment, the entire Xiaoguo Army was like a red ocean, spreading slowly... Several light chariot commanders slowly adjusted the military formation while silently watching the response of the Jizhou Prefecture Army. The commander of the Guying Luo Qi, his purpose is to delay the troops of the 10,000 Jizhou Prefecture, and prevent them from causing damage to the counties of Hengzhou Prefecture, and finally achieve the goal of forcing surrender or destroying the other party. After seven or eight days, he delayed Jizhou. The government army has completed it, and it can be completed partly. Some of the government army in Jizhou are willing to surrender, while some have no answers.
Luo Qi is located in the center of the central army and looks coldly at the Jizhou Prefecture Army getting closer and closer. He has no good impression of the more than 10,000 listless Jizhou Prefecture Army and will not be afraid of it.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
The drum sound changed, and the two armies stopped less than 500 meters apart, while there were still three thousand cavalry on both sides of the Jizhou Prefecture Army slowly running back and forth. The longbow in their hands announced to the soldiers of the Jizhou Prefecture Army that if the decisive battle is fought, You will be hit by the rain of arrows.
"Come on, go and call. If the Jizhou Prefecture Army is ignorant of raising the rules, then kill them!" Luo Qi said slowly.
"Abide by the order!"
Several knights ran out of the formation and headed towards the center.
"Listen to the soldiers of Jizhou Prefecture Army, our lords chased the tribes of the Marine tribes in the north to save lives and water and fire. We fought against the Marine tribes in the east and recovered lost land. We praised the country and the people. However, the villains and others attacked our army behind their backs. , no different from the barbarians.”
"Now, my tens of thousands of Xiaoguo army have captured the northern prefectures of Jizhou, and your home is in the hands of my master. If you want your mother, wife and children to admit that you are waiting, put down your weapons. Otherwise, you will be colluding with the barbarians. A traitor who treasons the country. He will not enter the ancestral grave after his death, and will be infatuated for thousands of years, causing trouble to his wife and children."
"This... Xiaoguo Army is really a bastard. He uses his wife, children, old and young to threaten our soldiers." The sergeant beside Sima Hao said.
"Oh... this battle shouldn't have been fought, but now it's impossible to fight..." Li Jiyuan sighed.
"Emperor Li, what do you mean?" the sergeant scolded.
Li Jiyuan sneered: "What does it mean? It's all your business!"
"You..." The military commander pointed at Li Jiyuan angrily and didn't know what to say. He thought that the military commander of the Governor's Office was responsible for the list of military commanders in the entire territory of Jizhou and the assessment matters, and dared to talk to him like this with others.
"General, this battle... my soldiers in Cangzhou Prefecture cannot fight. My soldiers in Cangzhou Prefecture are trapped, and the soldiers are also worried about their families...so..."
After saying that, Li Jiyuan came down from his personal guard to the left military formation.
"Move to the left and leave the formation!" Li Jiyuan narrowed his eyes and ordered.
Three thousand soldiers quickly moved to the left, and in a moment, they were more than 500 meters away from the Jizhou Prefecture Army. Then, the 1,500 cavalrymen who had been wandering on the left side of the Jizhou Prefecture Army were inserted into it.
, separate these three thousand people from the headquarters of the Jizhou Prefecture Army.
The matter suddenly broke out. Before the rest of the Jizhou Prefecture Army reacted, the three thousand left divisions separated from the headquarters.
"Put down your weapons and surrender!" Li Jiyuan then ordered.
The soldiers were stunned, and then hurriedly threw down the weapons in their hands. Li Jiyuan asked the soldiers to move left hundreds of meters, leaving a large number of various weapons and flags on the spot.
The left soldiers who threw down their weapons seemed to be much more relaxed. At the warning of Li Jiyuan, they all sat in place and watched the battle...
They had no objection to surrendering to the Xiaoguo Army. Their hometown was captured by the other party, so what else can we fight here? Besides, wherever the Xiaoguo Army went, they would reduce taxes, distribute fields, seeds, plow oxen, and cultivate the cultivation areas.
In the water, it is very popular for the people. I don’t know how popular these soldiers are. Naturally, these soldiers are also a group of people who benefit. If the Shangguan wants to surrender, what else can I say...
