August 24, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty.
Xianyang, Xianyang Palace Yizheng Hall.
Hu Hai stood in the main hall wearing a black robe, staring at the huge map of the northern border of Da Qin.
Mengtian receives news reports every day, but no news has come yet until today. The news report that came yesterday was the battle report from the day before yesterday. Hu Hai didn't know what happened in Jiuyuan County today as well as yesterday's news report.
clear.
But he believed in the Jiuyuan Army and also believed that Meng Tian could restore the situation in Jiuyuan.
Standing beside him was Wei Liao.
"Old dear, what do you think of what I just said?" Hu Hai did not look back and seemed to be talking to himself.
"Back to Your Majesty, do you want to wait a little longer?" Wei Liao hesitated and said.
"I can't wait any longer!" Hu Hai suddenly turned around, looked at Wei Liao with burning eyes and said: "In more than ten days, I will go south!"
When Wei Liao heard Hu Hai's words, he looked up at the map, bowed and said, "I obey my order!"
"Then, let's go!" Hu Hai turned around and looked in the direction of Langjuxu Mountain, and said calmly: "This time we can recruit the people of Xianyang to serve as civil servants! However, we are not allowed to beat and scold at will, and we are not allowed to withhold wages! The soldiers in the talent camp are all gone.
Come out, Heibingtai will dispatch a thousand people to take charge of this matter."
In the past two months, the number of people on the Black Ice Platform has nearly doubled from its original size.
"Here!"
"Pass my edict to Meng Aiqing!"
"Here!"
The peaceful Guanzhong was boiling again because of an edict issued by His Majesty the Second Emperor.
August 26th, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty!
Nearly 20,000 large and small carriages of various sizes set off from Shangfang, Bashangcang, Yueyangcang, Xianyangcang and other places in Neishi County, and then gathered like hundreds of rivers. They all set off towards Xianyang to Jiuyuan.
Chidao from Xianyang to Bashu, Xianyang to Wuguan. Nearly 100,000 civilians in Neishi County and Xianyang City were recruited.
Among the mighty traffic on the three roads, there were only a small number of soldiers from the Caishi Battalion and soldiers from Heibingtai. The rest came from Neishi County and Xianyang City within two days due to the edict of His Majesty the Second Emperor.
Nearly 100,000 civilians were drafted again a few months later.
However, the recruitment of civilian husbands this time not only did not cause resentment among the people in Guanzhong, but also made all those who were not recruited feel extremely regretful. This is probably because Hu Hai was recruited for a fee.
Neishi County itself has 600,000 civilians who were released by Hu Hai and stayed in Guanzhong to work as farming! If Hu Hai really wanted to recruit, he could recruit hundreds of thousands of civilians at any time.
There were countless copper coins minted in Shangfang, and the only thing Hu Hai had to pay was food and drink on the three roads of more than 100,000 people.
Now that civilian men have been recruited, Hu Hai naturally needs to be in place at once. Zhang Han's 200,000 Tigers and Ben troops will consume daily weapons, food, grass, medicines, and the Xuanwu Army going south will also replenish the food, grass, baggage and other supplies.
There is only the Xuanwu Army, because the equipment is too heavy and there are only 50,000 people. When they leave the customs, except for the necessary weapons, the rest are used to carry food and grass. They are also the ones who need the most support from the weapons and baggage.
A massive fleet of nearly 20,000 donkeys, horses and oxen carts of various types drove out of Xianyang in three directions, heading for their respective destinations. Although the court did not say much when recruiting civilians, everyone knew that the emperor obviously wanted to have
Big move.
It is understandable to go north to Jiuyuan and south to Wuguan. After all, there are already two armies going north and south respectively. So the one going west seems to have the largest number of carriages among the three routes. What is the purpose of this? Think of the previous one.
Hundreds of thousands of troops have marched out from the west in the past few days. What is your Majesty going to do?
It won't take long for them to know what Hu Hai wants to do, and the whole world will know it too.
…
The suddenly accelerating cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army penetrated the rear formation of 60,000 Donghu cavalry in less than a moment, and broke out from the rear formation of the Donghu cavalry. At this time, the ignorant 10,000 Jiuyuan cavalry broke into the front formation.
The army cavalry also cut through the front line of the Donghu cavalry, which was cut into two sections.
The front formation of the 60,000 Donghu cavalry who were attacking the main attack was pierced. The rear formation, which was pierced by the 29,000 original troops who were united together, has closed up. Without stopping at all, Mengmao led the 19,000 fine cavalry of the original army to turn towards the empty battlefield.
The left wing rushed away. From the moment it was intercepted by the Jiuyuan Army that rushed in from the left and right wings, the left and right wings of the Donghu cavalry were always the most empty.
The ninety-nine thousand cavalrymen of the original army who suddenly turned around had already come out from the left wing to kill the general in less than ten seconds.
At this point, all the 39 thousand fine cavalry of the original army that broke into the 60,000-strong Donghu cavalry formation had broken out of the formation, leaving behind the corpses of Donghu cavalry all over the ground and the fragmented Donghu cavalry formation.
Li Gang saw that all the 39,000 Yuan troops who broke into the army broke out of the formation. He also looked at the 40,000 Donghu cavalry who were about to arrive in more than a hundred steps and the tens of thousands of Xiongnu who were less than one mile away from the battlefield.
The cavalryman turned around and galloped out of the battlefield first. Behind him, the 19,000 original army cavalrymen who had been skimming the formation rushed to catch up.
Although Li Gang was very good at what he said and did, he was not good at all when it came to marching and fighting! Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the post of cavalry captain of the Jiuyuan Army.
Although the formation of 60,000 Donghu cavalry had been shattered by the 39,000 original troops, the casualties were actually not many, just over 10,000 casualties. Now tens of thousands more Huns cavalry, who had been recuperating for a long time, came to kill them.
If the Jiuyuan Army continues to fight with them on the battlefield at this time, their head will be caught in the door panel.
Fighting with these more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry, the 49,000 original army may not be defeated, but it is not easy to win. The best result is that both sides suffer losses. If Meng Tian had not come, maybe Li Gang and others would have taken this step as a last resort
.But when Meng Tian is about to arrive and reinforcements are about to arrive, it would be foolish to still confront the Huns head-on.
There had just been a charge, and the 39,000 original troops suffered limited casualties, less than 2,000.
The three elite cavalrymen of the Nine Plains Army marched away without looking back, not even looking at the tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry and 40,000 Donghu cavalry who were chasing after them.
At this moment, the fight that started in the morning has been going on for more than an hour!
The shield wall of the 89,000 Yuan Army infantry still in the center of the battlefield has been broken through by the Donghu cavalry in two places. The original concentric circle formation of the Nine Yuan Army infantry also became solid when the shield wall was broken.
round.
The two sides fought desperately at these two gaps. The infantry of the Nine Plains Army in the circular formation quickly formed a shield wall behind the gap. The originally round formation became bumpy, but as time went by,
The two gaps are gradually narrowing.
Every time the gap widened, dozens or hundreds of soldiers from both armies fell. The soil at the two gaps had been completely soaked with blood and became muddy.
The other two shield walls that were attacked by the Donghu cavalry were also crumbling and seemed to be broken open in the next second.
All the infantry of the Nine Plains Army, especially those on the outermost perimeter, were exhausted. If they had not firmly believed that the general would come, some of them would have collapsed long ago. The power of faith is powerful.
However, everyone knows that once the other two shield walls are broken through, it is likely that the shield wall will completely lose its effect. At that time, the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army will have to use their flesh and blood to fight against hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
The Huns cavalry.
Mohuer's 100,000 Donghu cavalry and Xubu Baye's 40,000 Huns cavalry, after chasing the fleeing elite cavalry of the Nine Plains Army for several miles, gave up the pursuit and rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
Xu Bu Ye turned around and returned. Li Gang, Meng Shi and others immediately followed them several miles behind, wandering like ghosts. They neither strayed far away nor got too close, and always maintained their attitude towards Xu Bu Ye.
The cavalry put appropriate pressure on them, and even chased them fiercely from time to time, bullying Xubu Baye, who was close enough to return to assist the Donghu cavalry in breaking the formation. The more than 100,000 cavalrymen were less than 200 steps away, and then fired a burst of crossbow arrows.
When Xu Bu Baye turned around and wanted to catch up, Li Gang and others turned around and ran away again. Xu Bu Baye, who was already extremely hot-tempered, was so angry that he flew into a rage. However, he took advantage of the four men led by Li Gang, Mengshi and others.
The cavalry of Wanjiu Yuan Army were helpless.
He simply did not dare to lead the more than 100,000 cavalry to chase the 49,000 original army cavalry. Not to mention that everyone was still concerned about whether the cavalry could catch up. He did not dare to go too far away from Maodun's main formation.
Moreover, it can be seen from his pig head that the Nine Plains Army Elite Cavalry is deliberately luring him away from the battlefield.
In desperation, Xubu Baye had no choice but to lead tens of thousands of furious Hun cavalry to stare at the cavalry of the Nine Plains Army, which was coming and going from far away, and ordered the Donghu cavalry to kill the Donghu cavalry who had broken through the shield wall and were in a stalemate.
The direction of the notch.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, regardless of nationality, everyone understands! By the time they arrive, the number of Hun cavalry besieging the infantry of the Nine Plains Army will reach an astonishing number of more than 300,000. Obviously, by that time, there will also be nine
When the original infantry phalanx was completely exposed to the hooves of the Huns cavalry.
Seeing more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry divided into two groups, monitoring themselves and others all the way, and rushing to the battlefield. Li Gang, who was originally teasing Xu Buye leisurely, the expressions of the ignorant and others all changed.
The Huns are not stupid either!
"General Meng! Do you want to charge again?" Li Gang stopped his horse and looked at the Hun cavalry in Xubabaye who was standing still and staring at him and others, and said loudly.
"Since General Li is interested, Meng should accompany him!" Mengmao said after hearing Li Gang's words. Mengtian, the son of Mengmeng Hong, should be called his uncle. He is not very old, but his voice is rough and tight.
"Haha! Okay!" Li Gang laughed. Zhao Zhan, the two of them did not speak. They looked at each other and waved their arms. The cavalry of the Nine Plains Army under their respective armies, which had been scattered, had already formed their formation in a moment.
Li Gang is the commander of the cavalry! Everyone is waiting for Li Gang's order!
At this moment, the thunderous roar of horse hooves came from the distance from the direction of Jiuyuan City.
Whether they were on the battlefield where they were fighting, or Mao Dun, Mo Huer, Xu Bu Ye and Li Gang, all their faces changed drastically when they heard the roar of horse hoofs. However, Li Gang and others were overjoyed.
But he was surprised or frightened.
A long black line, with billowing smoke and dust, is quickly approaching the battlefield!
In the lead was a huge black brocade flag with the word "Qin" fluttering in the wind!
