In the sixth year of Kaiping in Daliang (332), on February 24, the 22nd year of Li Chengyuheng, several long dragons came out of Guanghan and slowly arrived at the battlefield.
"Seiwei Huan." Seeing that Huan Wen was the prefect of Yanqu, Ju Ying dismounted and bowed.
Huan Wen helped him up and said, "Donald Ju is an elder, why should he do this?"
"It should be, it should be." Ju Ying smiled and pointed to the convoy that had just stopped behind him.
"The new surnames raised 20,000 hu of rice, 500 cattle, and 100 jars of wine."
Huan Wen nodded and said nothing.
Zhiyingshun looked at his gaze and looked at the hills ahead.
The battle is unfolding.
On the undulating hillside, rows of Banman soldiers were advancing quickly and attacking Chengjun camp.
And below the hillside, the second batch of 2,000 people were ready to go and began to move forward slowly.
If the front team retreats without fighting, the back team will directly kill the front team, without any forgiveness.
After these two batches, a group of Hu cavalry had already bowed and rode their horses to roam.
The soldiers of the Right Cavalry Guard sat on the ground wearing armor and were ready to board the horse and rush to kill.
They are all supervising teams, which is a typical "cavalry and infantry" tactic, that is, light and heavy cavalry escort formations in the rear.
Once the infantry fails to fight, they will be killed directly from behind and suppress them on the spot.
Duan Liang's troops arrived on the morning of the 20th, and were trapped in the crowd and unable to fight. So they transferred Banman, who had just captured Guanghan, to let them attack Li Cheng's camp.
The battle began on the 21st. Perhaps the two sides were familiar with each other before, and the fight was not very fierce. They attacked all day long.
No progress at all.
Duan Liang was furious. Banman explained that after several days of comfort and rectification, Li Cheng's soldiers were no longer so frightened. They were covered by camps and had sufficient rest. They were relieved and it was a little difficult to fight at this time.
Duan Liang only partially recognized what they said and ordered a fierce attack on the second day, and he was not allowed to cheat.
Banman also knew that he had to work hard, and attacked hard all day long on the 22nd day without hesitating casualties.
When the defenders saw Banman being so ruthless, they cursed. In the critical moment, Li Xiong personally came to the front to boost morale. The two sides fought until evening. Banmen broke through a flank camp, captured more than 3,000 people, and then attacked the adjacent camps, and fought until night before they cried out to withdraw their troops.
In the second half of the night, Duan Liang used more than a thousand right cavalry guards, and the Huns and two thousand Hu soldiers in Shiloushan, launched a raid, broke through a camp, and killed Li Yi.
On the 23rd, he continued to drive Banman to attack during the day. Li Xiong came to the front of the battle for the second time to boost morale, but seemed to be in poor health and retreated quickly.
Cheng Jun's morale declined a little, and he broke into the camp because Banman was broken. General Jianwei Li Qi was injured. Uncle Zaiyuan led a guest and killed his soldiers to rescue him. He died on the spot. Ran Yuan, the younger brother of the concubine Li Xiong, was one of the surname Ban Xiao, and his original surname was "", and after the name was "Zai" was changed to the surname "Zai".
After nightfall, the Right Cavalry Guard led the Zahu to attack as usual. As a result, when the cavalrymen attacked, the Zahu cavalry who were waiting at the foot of the mountain took advantage of the situation to move. The two sides fought a lot on the hillside and each stopped their troops.
Today is the fourth day of the siege. Chengjun cavalry attacked again, fighting against the Right Cavalry Guard, Success and defeated,
There are less than five hundred people who escape back to the camp.
After the Cheng army's cavalry and soldiers were defeated, the Ban soldiers launched an attack weakly.
Zhiying looked aside and lamented in her heart.
This is the price you have to pay for surrendering and returning to the right. People drive you to attack the camp, are you convinced?
And at this moment, another team broke out in the north.
Zhiying looked at the sound and saw at a glance that this was healing people.
He was so familiar with these mountain people.
The officials of the Pu Dynasty exploited and abused them. Li Cheng only "pardoned" his crimes and allowed him to live in the mountains. He won the hearts of the people all at once, so that a considerable number of the healing people went to war for the Li Cheng court.
Now it seems that Li Cheng's favor is ultimately limiting.
Look, some of the Yao tribes surrendered and were conscripted by Ding Zhuang to attack his former benefactor Li Xiong.
Emperor Daliang is really...
The troops of the government defeated the states in the world, and the imperial guards quickly fought against each other. They then used military commands, tribes, vassal states, and powerful families to fight in all directions. These soldiers and horses drove the surrendered soldiers and even captured Ding Zhuang himself, forcing them to attack the city and capture the village.
Using cavalry and instigation, the rear team beat the front team, and then promised to reward Emperor Liang after the war, it really found a set of effective methods.
And this method seems to be able to stabilize the place for a long time, but the heirs cannot be mediocre people, otherwise they may not be able to effectively control it.
After Zhiying delivered the food and grass, two thousand people in his army were kept and prepared to attack Li Chengying the next day.
He agreed with a wry smile.
The battle on the 24th continued until sunset. More than 2,000 soldiers from the Right Cavalry Guard of Xishan launched a rapid assault at the end. They stepped on the trench that was almost filled by the house, overturned the wall with arrows, and fought fiercely with Chengjun inside and outside the wall.
Li Xiong seemed to have come forward again, and the arrow almost fell to his feet, but his thin and sick body did not retreat.
The soldiers were hoarse and cheered up their morale. The soldiers were inspired by this and tried their best to kill them, but they could not drive the Liang people out.
In the end, General Ren Yan led his personal troops to fight, and only guarded Li Xiong to retreat to the central army camp and gave up the camp occupied by the Liang people.
Zhiying withdrew her gaze from afar.
The army reached its limit, even if it was rewarded, boosted morale, and sent out the guests who were well-raised on weekdays to work hard, it would be useless.
Sure enough, after nightfall, General Bo led 2,000 people down the mountain to surrender, which greatly shook the morale of the remnants of the army, Tianshui family is a nobleman in the six counties. They all lost confidence, what will happen to the others?
*******
Under the unstable light, Li Xiong lay on the couch and looked at the two coffins in the camp.
Li Qi eventually died and died of serious injuries, which was one day later than Zaiyuan.
These are all his closest people.
Since his expedition, he has died of one son, one nephew, one in-laws, and several noble generals.
The most core and loyal part of Dacheng is destined to be destroyed here.
And when they die, the great success will no longer exist.
The country is composed of people, and most people don’t care who will rule. What needs to be held closely is people who share weal and woe with you and have the same interests as you, the royal family, relatives, and nobles are the core.
Li Xiong has always done this.
With more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians from the six counties going south, they have now grown to 200,000 to 300,000 as the core, they are married to Banman, deepened their connections, and given the children of the rich families of the six counties official positions and money, so that they can surpass the people of Shu, and finally rescue the people of the healing, win their hearts, and gradually stabilize the status of the people who went south in Shu.
He once thought seriously that this generation must do this, but by the next generation, the country's destiny will be slightly more stable, which may allow Li Ban to slowly improve the status of Shu people and eventually integrate into one.
From this perspective, Li Ban, who is close to the natives in Shu, is kind and pure and filial, is the perfect heir, because he can slowly fade and even eliminate the conflicts between the military and the people who went south, which is crucial to the long-term stability of the great foundation.
But now it seems that Dacheng may not have a second generation.
At this time, Li Xiong suddenly felt a strange relaxation. It seemed that the burden that had been pressing on his shoulders before, the anxiety that had been hidden in his heart disappeared, and he completely lifted the heavy burden.
After venting this breath, all the fatigue that had been firmly suppressed and the hidden injuries accumulated in his early years surged up in an instant, making him feel in a daze.
There seemed to be another rumbling drum sound outside, and the sound of killing in the wind was getting closer and closer.
He heard it, but he was lazy and didn't want to move at all. It seemed that nothing in this world could arouse his interest.
Everything is a cloud, nothing matters.
Life is just a few decades long, and I suddenly realized a dream.
There were rapid footsteps outside the tent, and there was a faint cry, but from beginning to end, no one entered the tent and was stopped by the personal guards.
OK, that's what it should be, don't bother me.
I am tired and can't walk with you anymore.
Whoever wants this country, please take it.
Shao Xun, you must be very tired, right? You are dealing with such a mess, fighting wits and courage with others, and doing your best to think. Even though you are majestic on the surface, when the song ends and people are dispersed, after the closest person leaves, there are always a few traces of panic, loneliness, fatigue, and confusion that surges in your heart. If you are tired, don’t refuse to admit it.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
The sound of killing became more and more intense.
The remaining army above the army was so depressed that it was extremely low, with killing sounds everywhere and crying everywhere.
Perhaps it was judged that Cheng's army was on the verge of collapse, Duan Liang decisively threw the healing men who had arrived in the day and the soldiers of Zhiying's troops into the battle and launched a siege from all directions.
Chengjun cavalry commander Li Ba led 500 cavalry to charge, killing the barbarian healing repeatedly retreated.
Duan Liang mobilized the cavalry of various troops and besieged Li Ba's troops in a valley, attacked repeatedly, and finally wiped out all of them, and none of them survived.
The army camp, which was once arranged like a hedgehog, completely lost its previous struggle and became a broken house with air leakage everywhere.
In the second middle of the night, the soldiers in Feilongshan Town killed the Taibao Li Shi and approached the Central Army camp where Li Xiong was located.
General Ren Yan gathered troops everywhere and fought to the death. After sending people to the imperial tent repeatedly and learning that the emperor had fallen into a coma, he was extremely sad and angry.
By dawn on the 25th, after a night of fierce fighting, only three or four thousand men remained in the army, gathered in the Central Army camp, with a look of panic.
Li Du, Li Bao, Guan Jian, Ren Yan and other royal nobles gathered in the imperial tent, looking at the emperor Li Xiong who was already dying.
Li Xiong smiled with difficulty.
He knew very well how good his family was. Maybe he could last for a few days, or even longer, but he gave up his desire to survive because everything was meaningless.
"After I die, I will surrender." Li Xiong looked at everyone and said, "The soldiers who have been pieced together and fought with me until now. The soldiers are worthy of me, but I am ashamed of them."
"Shao Xun has great ambitions and wants to change the world. There are more than 200,000 children from the six counties, distributed in various places in Shu, and they have many restraints on the aristocratic families. As long as they are removed from their families and live in peace, Shao Xun will not do anything to them."
"There are enough people who die in this world, enough people----"
"If the Li clan's situation is not good in the future, don't complain. It's useless, it will only cause casualties. Give up..."
"I will take one step first, and I will be willing to work for the people in the mountains in the next life, and to rest at sunrise and sunset-
The voice gradually became deeper.
Everyone burst into tears, not knowing what to do.
On that day, Emperor Cheng Li Xiong died.
Li was unwilling to surrender and led hundreds of people to rush down the mountain and died in battle.
Wisdom and firmness are in the camp.
Ren Yan, Li Bao and others led 3,000 remaining people to surrender, and the war in Guanghan ended.
Chapter completed!
