In the 21st year of Xuanwu, the troops of Maru Bodu invaded Yanzhou, and 50,000 Maru cavalry were divided into three groups, like a torrent of surging torrents, and were involved in Yanzhou Prefecture. Bai County, on the northeast of Yanzhou Prefecture, was prepared before it could react.
The soldiers of the Marini fought down. The entire Yanzhou was filled with smoke and fell into a chaotic period, and countless people were displaced.
"What? What did you say?" After hearing the urgent report sent back by the messenger who was galloping back, Zou Ling said with a look of ugly expression.
"Mr. Governor! The troops of Marine invaded Yanzhou. Now that Bai County has fallen, the people of Marine are coming to Yanzhou Prefecture." The messenger who fled from Bai County said again.
"Damn the Martialis!" Zou Ling cursed sternly, and the councillor also echoed in his heart. His family had now fallen into the hands of the Martialis, and he didn't know what the result was.
"Damn Martyr, I'm still three months away from office. Can't you fight again three months later?"
"……………” This time the letter man looked ugly, but the governor of Yanzhou opposite him was just cursing in his heart.
"Uh, why are you still here? Go out!" Zou Ling finished venting and found that the messenger was still staying in front of him. Seeing the messenger, he couldn't help but feel irritated and scolded him repeatedly.
The councillor looked gloomy, except for the governor's mansion, a group of young men in government clothing immediately came up: "Brother Xu, how about it? The governor said when will the troops be sent to rescue Bai County?"
Brother Xu walked towards the tavern on the side with a dark face.
"Brother Xu, are you talking?"
There was also news from Yanzhou that there were not many guests in the entire tavern. After sitting down, after drinking a few big sips of strong wine, Brother Xu said, "Rescue, rescue! Lord Governor refused to give me at all.
Pay attention." Thinking of the governor's previous words, Brother Xu felt angry.
"What should we do? Our wife, children, and children are still in Baixian County? Besides, we have nowhere to stay here!" a man said wailingly.
"What do you think you should do? Just kill seven of us back? Can we save Baixian? Can we save our fellow villagers?" One person asked back.
"I..." The man started to tear his hair hard, his face full of pain.
Everyone was speechless.
"Hey, have you heard of it? The Huolin Army is starting to recruit people again!" a drunkard said.
"No, the Huo Lin Army is now almost 5,000 people, and I still want to recruit? Can the governor's mansion and the Duwei Mansion agree? The Huo Lin Army has strong combat power, can they rest assured?" One person asked.
"This brother, I don't understand. Now that the Marin invaded, there are more and more refugees in Yanzhou City, so that the governor's office cannot be resettled. Now someone can handle a group of refugees reasonably. It's too late to welcome the governor's office. As for you, you said
The Huo Lin Army's combat power is too strong, which makes the government uneasy. Maybe I was worried before, but now I am afraid that the Huo Lin Army's combat power is not strong enough. After all, the people of the Marine Army are coming, and I have to defend Yanzhou. The more people, the better.
!” a middle-aged man explained.
"Oh..." Anyone who didn't understand suddenly realized.
"It's a pity that my physique is not good enough, otherwise I would go to the Huolin Army to join the army!" A big man said while drinking a muffled wine.
"Li Heitou, are you not afraid of dying in the battlefield?" a man teased.
Li Heitou raised his head and took a sip of wine and said, "So what if I die on the battlefield? In that case, my family will be trapped. The soldiers of the Huolin Army and those who die in the battle will be supported by the Huolin Army until they can reliably live."
"Huo Lin Army is so kind and righteous! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many men going to join the army! Unfortunately, I don't have the body." One person said.
"Let's go, brothers, let's go to the Huolin Army to apply for the conquest. Maybe we can go back to Bai County in the future." The young man named Xu threw down the wine bowl, looked at everyone, and gritted his teeth.
News of the fall of Bai County soon spread throughout Yanzhou City, and the government could not hide it, so it had to send additional personnel to inspect the world to avoid anyone taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Governor's Mansion.
"Master Sima! Master Zhou! Master Su! I believe the three of you already know what Zou meant to invite you over!" The governor Zou Ling said with a smile, but the anxiety and panic in his eyes were not hidden from everyone.
Su Yun said: "Don't worry, sir, I have sent someone to inform the Qi County Captain, let him firmly clear the world and guard Qi County to the death. Do not let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes. I also sent a messenger in Le County, and there will never be any Bai County.
The situation.” After saying that, he looked at Sima Jack with a deep meaning.
The Bai County Captain is Sima Yun's person, and Sima Yun seems to have a great relationship with Yule. This time, Bai County went down and lost the hand of the Yule people, which made Su Yun very suspicious.
Seeing Su Yun's gaze, Sima Yun certainly knew what he was thinking, but Baixian was definitely not deliberately thrown out, but he did not need to explain to the other party.
Zhou Jun and Sima Yun also thought that Zou Ling had sent messengers to let the counties strictly guard the county town, and began to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, summoning young and strong people to prepare for the support.
Zou Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What about the city defense in Yanzhou? It is reported that there were no less than 50,000 people coming to attack this time. Can we defend it?"
For civil officials, the comparison of numbers is the key to victory or defeat. Sima Yun said: "Please rest assured, the governor, there are three thousand prefecture troops in Yanzhou City, three thousand battalions under my command, two thousand battalions under my command, and two thousand battalions under my command, and so have Lord Su.
Three thousand, a total of more than 11,000 people. The people of the Marine City are not good at attacking cities, but are only good at fighting horses. It is not easy to attack more than 10,000 people guarding the city and fully guarded. Moreover, Yanzhou City can be used at any time now.
Recruiting tens of thousands of young and strong men to defend the city will never fall easily.”
Su Yun sneered, "I won't fall easily? What's going on in Bai County?" After saying that, he turned to Zou Ling and said, "Sir, the first priority now is to immediately move the people outside the city to the nearby county town and the terrain is relatively high.
Well, in the relatively sturdy fort, there is no grain left for the Marines, and all the wells are buried. The Marines thieves enter Yanzhou Prefecture and cannot get any supplements, and can also protect our people."
"Second, immediately expel all the people in the city, no matter what their identities, to avoid situations similar to those in Baixian County in the city. Third, start to ban the night to avoid people taking advantage of the night to avoid misconduct at night. Fourth, immediately control Yanzhou.
The food and military supplies in the city can avoid long-term constraining in the future, resulting in a shortage of food and food. Finally, the yamen runners of the governor's office can post notices in the city to appease the people, and at the same time, they will have a heavy reward for those who report ill-thinking intentions."
After hearing Su Yun's words, Zou Ling sighed: "Mr. Su is right, so I will do it now. As for the matter of defending the city, I will ask the three masters to help with the logistics matters. Alas... tens of millions
Don't be taken away by the Marines and go to Yanzhou Prefecture, otherwise we will be..."
Gushanbao.
Now Gushan Fort is almost a large military camp, and several households of a docks of about a radius are a small city. Nearly three months have passed since the last time that Qi Yan's village was captured, Zhao Xun has recruited troops twice, and the personal guard camp has been officially guard camp.
One thousand cavalry, the captain Zhao Qingshan; one thousand archers, the captain Zhao Ning, the original position was arranged by Zhao Xun to be outstanding in the personal guard; one thousand heavy armored heavy shield infantry in the heavy armored camp, the school
Wei was the tall and burly Shunzi, which was changed to Zhao Shun. The Huozi Camp and Shanzi Camp also reached a 1,000-strong organization. There was no limit on the number of new recruits, and they were always training new recruits. Zhao Xun was under pressure to expand his recruits.
The person who is in charge of today's results, now his guess has finally come true. Otherwise, he would be unable to withstand the pressure of Yanzhou Prefecture.
"Zhou Wenju, has the craftsman finished what I want in the camp?"
The craftsman's camp is the weapon production camp of the entire Fire Lin Army, which specializes in creating weapons, leather armor and other tools for the Fire Lin Army.
"If you are a master, you only have 200 heavy armors, there are more than 700 iron heavy shields, and more than 3,000 guns have been built, which has not yet met the number of adults' needs. The main reason is that there is a lack of iron materials and blacksmiths, making it difficult to speed up
.”
"Well, I'll go back and think of a way to do this. You can speed up the speed. The main thing is heavy armor. The main focus is on heavy armor. As for shooting guns, this is simple, and ordinary soldiers can help build it."
Due to the lack of long-range powerful attack weapons and powerful crossbows, in order to fight against the numerous and powerful people, Zhao Xun thought of a weapon with simple and lethality, which is a weapon with simple gun production.
The javelin, that is, the javelin, is an important infantry weapon in the West, but in China, the appearance of powerful crossbows has turned the javelin into a useless weapon, because it is range, rate of fire, penetration or hitting.
The accuracy and javelin are far from comparable to strong crossbows. However, compared with strong crossbows, there is still a clear advantage of javelins, which is that they are cheap and easy to carry!
In Chinese history, the Ma Chao legion has had javelin cavalry. The Ma Chao legion is not dedicated to bows and arrows, but is good at using long marks, and is characterized by long marks. It often produces a killing effect of one mark and multiple people in a row for the dense Cao army. This kind of short marks is used to injure several people in a row.
Feibiao was actually derived from the ancient Roman guns. To be precise, it was the weapon used by Spartacus and the Roman legion when fighting to the death. Its gun body length (more than 2.3 meters), it is of great importance, has strong lethality, and is simple in armor.
The light army (has a certain defensiveness to bows and arrows) has far more attack power than bows and arrows. Ordinary armor and wooden shields can penetrate when touched and are difficult to resist. In the battle at that time, I saw some scenes of several arrows fighting to the death without retreating.
Those who have been hit by the Western Liang javelin immediately lose their combat effectiveness. In modern times, it is the difference between rifle grenades and rifle bullets. After the Song Dynasty, javelins were listed as conventional combat weapons in the army.
Of course, this type of javelin is still very dependent on logistics for large-scale use. In order to prevent the Marines from picking up the guns they threw out and fighting back, all the gun heads of the guns are slightly crisp, and they will generally not be used if they are thrown out.
Short-shot guns are no longer available.
Zhao Xun's idea was that except for the heavy armored infantry, all infantry brought three to four short-spout guns. This thing was a killing weapon before it was touched in close combat. The cavalry was difficult to defend against.
The opponent's cavalry was covered and killed, so the length of the spear was shortened and the number of carrying was reduced. There were only three. The other round shield resisted the opponent's bow and arrow with a longer range, and a widened horizontal knife was added to fight in close combat.
This horizontal knife is better than the original waist knife and machete. Once forged, the soldiers replaced him one after another. Like the javelin, they were all made by Zhao Xun according to the memories of his previous life.
Speaking of which, the effect of crossbow arrows is far stronger than throwing guns, which saves effort, is accurate, and has a long range. Although the hard crossbow does not match the cavalry, infantry use it and protects it with heavy armor infantry, it is definitely the nemesis of most troops. Unfortunately, it is not a pity that
What's right, there are not many government troops, let alone camp soldiers like me. Even if you have money, you can't get the wood industry. This kind of thing is one of the weapons strictly controlled by the court. Whoever gets involved will definitely
There is big trouble.
For Zhao Xun now, there is nothing, people, soldiers, armor, war horses, but there is no shortage of food. Now Zhao Xun has more than 50,000 food hidden in Shiping Village, but only 500,000 food, but it is only 500.
In other words, it is enough to consume 100,000 people in two months. If you save it, you can still use more time. In Gushanbao, there are more than 10,000 grains, but it is stored. Of course, this is not short of it.
It is also because Zhao Xun recruited troops on a large scale recently. He has food, but he still has to keep it.
