Jin Zheng arrived on the evening of the 25th.
Along the way, in the Silver Spear Right Camp, the Luoyan Army fought several small-scale battles. Either the Hu tribes were worried about their looting and refused to get out of the way, or the Huns were defeated, or they could not understand the situation clearly.
A local tycoon who refuses to donate food.
Overall it's pretty easy.
The light cavalry charged and the defeated troops basically dispersed.
When encountering barbarian cavalry, they all mounted on foot and cavalry and beat them into disarray.
Wubao was a little more difficult to deal with, but Jin Zheng didn't bother too much, so they didn't dare to take the initiative to cut off the food route.
Six thousand elite soldiers with silver spears, more than two thousand Luoyan Army infantry and cavalry, plus three thousand Henan Dingzhuang, were all Kim Zheng's men and horses - the latter two served as temporary auxiliary troops.
"The enemy's morale is low, why not attack?" After the two armies merged, according to regulations, Li Chong was the commander, and Jin Zheng was his deputy. However, this was not the first time that Jin Zheng contradicted the commander, and he vaguely looked down on Li Chong.
He came from a mixed background, so he asked questions.
"You have few soldiers." Li Chongyan replied concisely and comprehensively: "Shi Le is the turtle in the urn, and it is not worth the risk."
"After the Battle of Jingxing, I thought you were enlightened." Jin Zheng sneered and said.
The faces of those noble family members from Hebei, Wubao Shuai, and generals behind Li Chong were not very good-looking.
Damn it, can the Silver Spear Army look down on people?
Most of the battle in Bingzhou was fought by ourselves. How many people died? On the contrary, the backbone battalions such as Silver Spear and Heijin sat back and enjoyed the results. We only fought in the field and did not attack the fortified city. It was too much.
"Okay." Li Zhong stretched out his hand to stop the possible quarrel and said, "What suggestions does General Jin have?"
"The troops will go out in three ways." Jin Zheng held out three fingers and said: "Look for the woodcutter's path along the way, and attack behind it. It doesn't matter if all of them are dead, as long as the enemy troops can be mobilized. The second way is to send the human way into Xinxing, Xiaoxiao
With great righteousness, we recruit the Tu people to surrender and order them to send troops. It doesn't need to be too powerful, just cause trouble. On the third line, I will lead the right camp with silver spears to attack fiercely."
"The recruitment of local tycoons has already been done." Li Chong said with a smile: "As soon as General Jin comes, our troops will be strong, so we can divide our troops to take a detour. Let's do this."
The Hebei generals looked at Li Chong helplessly. Jin San is so domineering, but you still say nice things to him.
"First send a thousand men to attack. I will climb up to observe the enemy's strength." Jin San waved his hand and went on his own.
Soon, the order was issued.
The six thousand soldiers of Silver Spear's right battalion wore armor on each other in twos and twos, sat on the ground, took out food and water, and ate silently.
Some others were wearing armor and armed with weapons and went out on guard.
The whole process was orderly and without a trace of chaos, which showed the strict military discipline of Yinqiang Right Battalion. It also showed how frequently this unit trained on weekdays. Every action was almost engraved in the bones and became an instinctive reaction.
Li Zhong sent two troops from Boling and Hejian, with a thousand men, and slowly attacked along the mountain road.
As expected, the two sides started a fierce battle halfway up the mountain.
The Hebei soldiers couldn't charge and didn't dare to retreat. They could only stand there with their big shields raised, but they were still shot badly.
After charging for a while, he retreated in embarrassment.
The Wubao commander who led the team became angry and beat the troops with a riding crop, and took them in. Then he cursed a few times, led his servants to take the lead, and attacked for a while.
Without any suspense, they quickly retreated.
I didn't dare to say anything this time. It was too difficult to attack from the bottom up, so I was shot all the way.
Jin Zheng jumped down from the tree, waved his hand, and two soldiers with more than a thousand silver spears stood up solemnly.
Someone was holding a big shield and a ring-headed sword.
Someone is holding a spear.
Someone carefully inspects the bow.
There are also people holding heavy long Ke axes and wooden poles, ready to sweep through thousands of troops in a chaotic battle.
The drums sounded.
One thousand two hundred people came forward slowly and in an orderly manner.
The sword and shield hand is in front, trying to block the flying arrows.
Pikemen followed closely behind, ready for close combat at any time.
The infantry archers were scattered on the post road and in the mountains and forests on both sides, slowly approaching.
The Hebei generals sighed secretly as they watched all the iron-armored silver spearmen walking swiftly in the mountains.
Apart from anything else, these people have really good physical strength, which means they eat well and practice a lot. This is a clear advantage.
Of course, the ones that made their eyes jump the most were the archers.
There are three types of infantry shooting assessment items in the army: first, infantry shooting; second, infantry shooting wearing leather armor; third, infantry shooting wearing iron armor.
Since the Han Dynasty, most archers have no armor, a few wear leather armor, and only a few wear iron armor.
Archers without armor are very convenient to shoot, but wearing leather armor is much more troublesome, because armor is really inconvenient, hinders movement, affects shooting accuracy, and is heavy and consumes physical strength.
Rifle shooting with iron armor is the most difficult and requires very hard and long-lasting training to master the essentials of shooting.
It is said that Liang Gong drew a strong bow and shot from a step while wearing iron armor, and he could hit nine out of ten shots at seventy paces. This was an incredible level of skill, and there were very few people who could achieve this level.
The group of silver spearmen in front of me were all in iron armor. The archers were walking around in the mountains, raising their hands to shoot an arrow, then quickly picking up their bows and nocking arrows, and shooting a second time.
The accuracy is frightening, and the arrows bite the flesh.
The two sides fought for a while, and the enemy's archers hiding in the treetops, behind the mounds, and even in the bushes on the hillside were shot with arrows one after another, screaming in agony.
The only ones who can shoot against them are the enemy archers standing behind the earth wall. After all, they are covered and safer. The casualties of the Silver Spear Army archers are mainly caused by them.
"Shoot while marching!" A loud roar sounded on the mountain road.
The Silver Spear Army infantry archers immediately began to take action.
They were in groups of five, with an arrow on their bow and one in their mouths.
After shooting one shot, he quickly shot the second one, then took out the third one from the quiver and ran the whole time instead of standing still and shooting like before.
This will certainly reduce the accuracy, but it also reduces the risk of being shot. If you are occasionally shot, as long as it does not break through the armor, you can continue to fight - if you have no armor or wear leather armor, you may have lost your combat effectiveness.
.
The Hebei generals' mouths twitched when they saw this.
There are people of this caliber in their family, but they are really few, and they are all provided for like treasures.
Jin Zheng randomly assigned them and brought out 1,200 people, all of whom were at the level of elite members of his family. I had heard about the elite members of the Silver Spear Army, and I was just impressed when I saw them today.
The two sides continued to fight.
The Silver Spear Army invested a total of 600 infantry archers. Arrows rained down with high accuracy. They quickly suppressed the enemy's archers and prevented them from shooting at their own infantry without restraint.
The infantry took advantage of the situation and went up, with unparalleled bravery, and started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy on the spot.
One side is protected by an earth wall, which can cover most of the body, and it is located high up, which is more convenient.
One party wears iron armor, shoots out a spear like a dragon, cooperates tacitly, has high morale, and is not afraid of death.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
A stalemate means casualties.
Jin Zheng watched from a distance without any expression.
Another group of people had already stood up and lined up, preparing for the next batch of attacks.
But they may no longer be needed. The sound of killings inside and outside the earth wall ahead was loud. Gradually, soldiers with silver spears climbed over the earth wall and rushed in.
Although they were quickly stabbed to the ground by the enemy soldiers who were waiting for them, more and more people climbed over the wall and rushed in quickly. They rushed into the enemy soldiers with their iron armors and drew out their swords to chop them wildly.
cut.
The enemy might not be used to this kind of close-quarters fighting, or they might only be good at using long soldiers and not skilled in short-hand soldiers. They were beaten back and forth, and people fell down in rows, resulting in heavy casualties.
In front of the fancy soldiers who are good at all kinds of equipment, it is a hand-to-hand melee. It is really difficult for the pure team to resist.
In the second half of the battle, the enemy archers were the first to flee.
Some Silver Spear Army archers put away their bows, and under the leadership of officers, drew their sabers and joined in the close combat.
The enemy troops collapsed uncontrollably and turned around and retreated towards the second earth wall.
The Silver Spear Army rushed in pursuit, braving enemy arrows and fighting with the rebel infantry.
Inside and outside the earthen wall, blood flowed like a river.
After another moment of stalemate, the second earth wall broke down.
The sound of the drums became more and more intense, and the Silver Spear soldiers chased them fiercely to the third earth wall. The enemy resisted for a moment, then with a shout, they all dispersed.
The silver armor was still shining in the mountains. They rushed forward without hesitation and rushed to the highest point of the stone ridge, killing the fourth group of enemy troops again. They did not stop until they encountered a high fortress.
The Hebei generals and colonels at the foot of the mountain looked at me and me, all of them were thirsty.
"Why are you still standing there?" Jin Zheng angrily scolded the stunned Hebei generals, saying: "You guys broke through three formations in a row and killed no less than five hundred enemies, so you just watch?"
After saying that, he looked at Li Chong again.
Li Zhong had a calm expression and did not pay any attention to Jin Zheng's attitude. However, he was a veteran of wars and knew that when attacking the enemy's camp, the Silver Spear Army could not attack first, otherwise the casualties would be greater, so he ordered
Two thousand Hebei infantry were sent up the mountain path to attack the enemy camp and consume the enemy's armor and physical strength.
The people in Hebei didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. The people who were called came forward honestly and drove their dealers to storm the enemy camp.
This attack lasted until late at night before stopping.
On the 26th, we attacked for another day, but the enemy camp was already crumbling.
Jin Zheng decisively sent out the Silver Spear Army, which broke into the camp after nightfall and killed Shi Leya's gatekeeper Wang Bo.
On the 27th, the army headed straight for Jiuyuan without stopping at all.
On the 28th, they were defeated in a battle. The city was sparsely populated, and many people in Shi Le and the general's mansion were empty.
On the 29th, Li Zhong sent troops to collect Xinxing counties and wait for grain and grass supplies.
In early June, all the emerging counties were restored.
So far, since the war began, the Jin army has captured the four counties of Leping, Xingxing, Taiyuan, and Shangdang, wiping out more than 30,000 enemies. It has completely wiped out the Huns' front-line forces in Jinyang and Shangdang, and achieved an unexpected and glorious victory.
win.
Where to go next depends entirely on Shao Xun's wishes.
But for now, the most important thing is to step up stockpiling of food and grass.
The army went out and originally carried one month's rations with the army, but now it has dropped to less than ten days, and it is in urgent need of replenishment.
By this time, Shao Xun had arrived in Qi County for many days.
Because the Wang family had many bad deeds before surrendering, their manors scattered in Jinyang, Qixian, Yangyi and other places were attacked by the army. Those who had served as officials for the Huns or were identified by others, all the clan members who had close relations with the Huns were killed, and all their property was lost.
, the grain was confiscated, the fields were distributed to villagers, and his wife and daughter were confiscated in Yeting.
The rest of the people will all move to Bianliang and settle down.
If nothing else goes wrong, the Wang family's family status will also be reduced to Hansu. Fortunately, the Wang family surrendered at the last moment, otherwise the family would have been exterminated.
There is no doubt that this is to scare the monkeys and show the rich people in Bingzhou.
After doing all this, Shao Xun left Qi County and headed for Jinyang. On the way, he received news that all the emerging counties had been recovered.
Facing the inquiries from Li Chong and others, he only gave one reply: hoard supplies for another battle.
As soon as this order came out, everyone understood that this was just the end of the first phase of the battle.
After the rest, there will probably be a second stage. Liang Gong really doesn't give the enemy a chance to breathe.
On the tenth day of June, Shao Xun arrived in Jinyang.
It rained continuously for days, and the Fenshui surged. Farmland, houses, and roads were flooded, and the army was unable to move for a while.
Chapter completed!
