Chapter 3530 Delivered to the door
The sound of the horn sounded low and deep on the head of Jixian City.
This horn, speaking of it, is the treasure of a Hu leader, who was seized during the battle.
War is so cruel.
Once you stand on the battlefield, you will be life-and-death and there is no other way to choose.
A tall Hussar soldier was standing above the city, plucking his strength and blew the horn.
The low whimper spread from afar, as if shaking the entire Jixian land.
The busy people and soldiers near Jixian raised their heads and waited...
This is something to be notified.
Since Zhao Yun entered Ji County, he began to manage Youzhou without a moment of hesitation.
What was placed in front of Zhao Yun was Youzhou, which was in ruins and in short supply.
Zhao Yun did not choose to continue killing, but stopped and began to sort out the clues and sort out the place in the mess.
This must be very tiring and tedious, but Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and persevered.
Now, a cruel and severe winter has passed, and the people of Youzhou cooperated with Zhao Yun, with their tenacious vitality to resist the snow disaster and ushered in hope. Although many people were frozen to death during this process, they did not resent the Cavalry Army because of this.
The people of the Han Dynasty have always had low requirements. They don’t care how much meat and wine the upper class eats. In many cases, they just hope to have a bowl of porridge that fills the belly and a piece of clothes to keep warm.
Zhao Yun did it, and he distributed the food as accurately as possible, saving more lives with limited food and grass. During this process, the people also saw the efforts of the Cavalry Army, so naturally there was no resentment.
In the chaotic times, especially the people on the frontier who have experienced several wars and man-made disasters, they cherish the rare stability more than ordinary people in the Central Plains of Shandong, and hope to have a local official who can pity them and take care of them, so that they can use their own labor to exchange for a hot soup for the young and old at home.
This is enough.
Especially when spring came, Zhao Yun did not prepare for military operations immediately, but insisted on sending minor officials to help the people plan the land, repair water conservancy, and urged spring plowing and other preparations, which made the people of Youzhou calm down.
The people of Youzhou were afraid that Zhao Yun was like some of the previous officials, or like a miscellaneous man, and just wanted to get a handful of them in Youzhou and leave...
The cavalry army that Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun belonged to seemed to be about to officially incorporate Youzhou into the territory of the cavalry and would not leave again. This made the people of Youzhou and the gentry who surrendered to them relieved and felt more at ease when doing work.
The people in Youzhou were originally hard-working. After all, during the Han Dynasty, this place was the frontier. Without a tough habit, it would be difficult to survive in such a difficult environment.
The people on the frontier should have been brave and fighting, and dared to face external threats and challenges, but I don’t know why, nor do I know when the "strong folk customs" have become a negative adjective. As a Han official, I usually hope that the people below will obey the people, and when they are in danger, they will count on the people to rise up?
Is it both necessary and necessary? How can there be two ways to achieve the world?
Zhao Yun is not Tathagata or his beloved minister. He has just experienced suffering and has not forgotten suffering yet. So at least in Youzhou, what he has brought to the people of Youzhou is these real things and real hope.
The sound of the horn gradually stopped, and then a loud voice sounded: "Liaodong Victory!"
Immediately, more people responded, "Liaodong Victory!!"
The people who were listening with their heads raised inside and outside the city were suddenly in an uproar, "A great victory? A great victory in Liaodong? So, did you reach Liaodong?"
"I'm sorry to see you! I came from Liaodong last year! Why didn't there be any cavalry army come at that time?"
"Liaodong? I don't know which Hu tribe he met?"
"It's great victory! I haven't heard this word for many years..."
The news of the victory was like ripples, rippling on the land of Youzhou.
The child with the horn clapped his hands and sang a song, "The victory in Liaodong, the mountain was full of cattle and sheep, the Hussars arrived, and the Hu people were frightened..."
The young man was farming in the fields and resting and drinking water and said, "Have you heard of it? It is said that those injured and the caught horses can be rented for farming according to Guanzhong's standards!"
The old man who drove the car smiled and said to the guest sitting on the ox cart, "Of course it's true! Look at the horse pulling the cart, it was originally from the Hu people, but now it's from us Han people!"
The middle-aged "businessman" sitting in the carriage nodded, chatting with the old man pulling the carriage while looking at the surrounding situation.
This middle-aged man who came under the name of a businessman was Cui Lin.
After separating from Cui Yan, Cui Lin disguised himself as he went north, avoiding Cao's army's checkpoint and reaching Youzhou.
Originally, Cui Lin thought that when Youzhou encountered heavy snow, some problems would inevitably arise, and even prepared to see hunger everywhere.
But what surprised him was that during this snow disaster, the number of people who died in Youzhou was not even more than those in northern Jizhou!
And when you are close to Ji County, you seem to be unable to see the common situation of war and chaos. Even though there is still snow on the hills in the distance, farmers have begun to farm and sort out the land around Ji County.
While Cui Lin was looking around, he suddenly heard the sound of rolling horse hooves.
The old man who was driving the car quickly rushed the car to the side of the road.
Soon, a team of Hussar cavalry rushed from the road, and the horse's hooves hit the ground dullly, like a heavy hammer hitting Cui Lin's heart.
These Hussar cavalry have armor on their bodies and war horses on their bodies. The styles of these armored cavalry are simple and unpretentious, without any patterns. However, for some reason, Cui Lin felt that the armored cavalry of these Hussar cavalry was even more intimidating than the guards wearing bright armor standing above the Xuxian Royal Palace.
Cui Lin thought about how he watched the Hussars pass by in front of him.
What his brother gave now seems to be difficult to deal with...
...
...
In the entire land of China, wars not only rose in Youzhou, but also spread in Jingzhou.
The sudden explosion of war drums was like thunder, instantly breaking the tranquility among the mountains.
The fighting spirit spread among the mountains, wilderness and rivers, frightening the birds and beasts to escape in scattered ways.
The Cao army soldiers roared, set out from Yunguan, took the initiative to attack, and attacked frantically at Li Dian's troops.
Amid the sound of war drums, Cao's army advanced along the water and land.
A small fleet of seven or eight warships attacked on the water and tried hard to shoot at Li Dian's army. On land, nearly a thousand Cao's soldiers rushed from the river beach and rushed towards Li Dian's camp.
Both sides took the lead in warmly welcomed each other's gifts, both the same...
Arrow.
On the warship were the original Jingzhou naval army. Although most of the time they got off the ship could not defeat the Cavalry Army, and perhaps even the Cao army could not defeat them, the crossbow shooting was originally Cai Mao's skill, and his shooting ability was not bad. Moreover, compared with Li Dianjun who came from a long distance, the warships could carry more crossbows, so after shooting for a while, they gained the upper hand and suppressed Li Dian's troops on the river bank.
However, whether it is the bows and arrows on the warships or the crossbows, they all have a certain range. They exceed the range or after covering the fortifications, the Cao army sailors on the warships have no choice but to rely on infantry attacks.
It was precisely because of his disadvantage in bows and arrows that Li Dian did not insist on shooting against the invading Cao army, but instead arranged the sword and shield hands and spearmen on the slopes that Cao army could not shoot. If these archers of Cao army did not go ashore, they would definitely not be able to reach them.
As for the camp, Li Dian had already made preparations in advance. The exposed wood had all applied mud on the river, and even if Cao's army fired with rockets, it would not be burned for a while.
Moreover, Li Dian was also a little surprised. He didn't understand why Cao's army was like crazy, not guarding the Pass, but taking the risk to attack from the Pass...
But now is not the time to consider this issue.
The maximum range of Cao's archers can only shoot in front of the sword and shield hands on the front line, while Li Dian's sword and shield hands only need to raise the shield to form a shield wall to block the arrows of these archers.
The arrows whistled down like hail, jingling endlessly, as if the music of death.
If it was a new recruit who had just entered the battlefield, he would inevitably be panicked and nervous in the face of such a fierce attack on the arrow formation. However, the sword and shield and spearmen who were now lined up in the formation were both veterans who had been on the battle formation, and had seen bigger and denser rain of arrows. Now, the intensity of the shooting of the archers of the Cao army of about 500 is that these Li Dian soldiers didn't care much about it.
Li Dian stared at the battle flag raised by Cao's army and frowned slightly.
Cai’s family?
The reason why Li Dian chose to go to Hanshui and attacked Yunguan was actually very simple...
logistics.
With the notification from Fangling, Li Dian learned about Fangling's situation. Although the soldiers in Fangling were weak and the training was poor, they could definitely get it if they took some time and effort. But the problem was that there was not much food and grass reserves inside Fangling!
Before Li Dian and others came, Fangling's supplies were always supplemented by Jingzhou. This is also the reason why Jingzhou was relieved to let a Di person go to Fangling, because the throats of these Fangling soldiers were stuck in Jingzhou...
So it can basically be concluded that unless Li Dian can carry the people like a Yellow Turban thief, feeding on human flesh, then the capture of Fangling will only increase his own food and grass burden!
It is already very good to transport it from Nanzheng, Hanzhong to the front line, transport it thousands of miles and supply it to soldiers. Where can I still have excess food and grass to support the people in Fangling?
Li Dian despised such actions to massacre the people for military rations.
In addition, if the Yin Pass is opened, soldiers from Hanzhong can get support and supplements from Wu Pass nearby. This is indeed a matter of killing two birds with one stone, but shouldn't the Cao army in front of you be guarding the Yin Pass and locking them at the southern end of the Han River?
However, looking at the Cao army warships on the Han River, the Cao army generals seemed to have no intention of getting off the ship to lead the troops to advance, so this battle is still a test?
It's just a test of a stronger scale and more soldiers?
There are also mountains and forests around the Han River, so it is not easy to travel and investigate in such an environment. Even if you climb a mountain, you may not see anything and spend a lot of time and energy in vain. So whether it is Li Dian or Cao's army, the focus is on advancing, retreating, and defense along the Han River.
Make the worst plan and do your best, this is Li Dian's principle.
There are naturally great risks to march into Jingzhou thousands of miles, but Li Dian thinks this risk is worth a try.
Cao Ren on the warship stared at Li Dian in the distance and grinded his teeth.
Although Cao Ren couldn't even see Li Dian's face clearly at this distance, he knew that it was Li Dian.
Cao Ren has some knowledge of Li Dian.
The general strategy of seducing enemies is simply ineffective for Li Dian. The strategy must be formulated based on Li Dian's caution in order to be of some effect, but Cao Ren is not sure how much it is useful.
Cao Ren waved his arm, and the sound of the war drums that blew up the sky suddenly slowed down.
The crossbowmen on the ship put away their bows and arrows, and the sky covered by the arrow formation returned to brightness.
The Cao army soldiers who had been on the water in advance had already lined up and began to advance.
One team is in front and two teams are in the back, forming a triangle attack formation. They don’t walk fast, and even stop every twenty steps to complete the formation.
This is the traditional Han military formation.
The neat queue can not only reduce the damage of enemy long-range weapons, but also allow soldiers in the array to feel the support of their comrades. In just a short distance of about 200 steps, Cao's army paused seven or eight times. Each pause did not reduce the murderous aura in the formation. Instead, there would be a feeling of pressing the spring tighter and tighter until the two sides handed over, which was the moment of explosion!
The Cao army continued to approach, and when both sides approached twenty or thirty steps, whether Li Dianfang or Cao Renfang could see each other's face, feel the other's breathing, and the boiling murderous intent.
『Dongdongdongdongdong!!』
The war drums sounded again in a dense manner, and the Cao soldiers rushed over, like bloody waves surging out of the Han River, pounced on Li Dian's battle formation.
"kill!"
The sword and shield hand supported the shield to resist Cao's swords and guns.
Later, some spearmen used spears to counterattack fiercely in the gaps in the shield.
After a brief handover, more than a dozen people fell into eternal sleep, most of whom were Cao's soldiers.
Although Cao's army seemed to attack bravely, the equipment of Cao's army was not as good as Li Dian and others.
The soldiers under Li Dian were equipped with new standard swords in the cavalry workshop. The armor on his body also covered a larger area and had better defense effects. With the skilled combat skills, it not only blocked the advance of Cao's soldiers, but even began to counterattack Cao's army.
The Cao army soldiers came with a breath of energy, but fell down weakly in front of Li Dian's sword and shield as if they were hitting the waves on the reef.
On the entire front, the Cao army soldiers could not gain the upper hand at all. Although they fought fiercely, they could not see any hope of breaking the formation.
Even in some areas, Cao's army was suppressed by Li Dian's squad.
The soldiers of Cao's army were severely damaged and were cut down to the ground one after another.
『Singing Gold!』
Cao Ren gritted his teeth and issued an order.
Just as we came to fight in a hurry before, Cao's army left dozens of corpses and hurriedly retreated.
Li Dian was a little confused. He couldn't understand why Cao's army did this, which seemed meaningless to attack...
I won’t fight hard after I’ve gotten into it, and I’ll leave after a little contact.
What is the significance of such a battle?
Isn't this here to die?
Unless it is...
Cao Ren wants him to stay here because of this?
...
...
At this moment, Zhao Yun in Ji County was also facing the things that came to his door...
Gan Feng defeated Ding Ling in Liaodong and seized many Hu people and Hu horses. The information was sent back, just a matter of whipping up the horses, but it was not that simple to send back the captured war horses and the captured Hu people.
Zhao Yun had to make corresponding arrangements, but he could not delay the original matters, especially in the weak Youzhou area, which was like walking on thin ice.
Therefore, Zhao Yun did not have much favoritism for the guys who came to disturb him.
"Qinghe Cui Family?"
Zhao Yun looked at the famous sect who came to the door.
The little official who sent the famous sect thought that Zhao Yun did not know the origin of the Cui family in Qinghe, so he whispered, "The Protector... This Cui family is said to be a descendant of the Taigong of Qi... Later he was enthroned in Cui Di... It can be regarded as a family with a long history..."
"Qi Taigong?" Zhao Yun glanced at the minor official, "Jiang Taigong?"
The little official nodded.
『Haha…』 Zhao Yun suddenly smiled, 『This Jiang Taigong assisted Zhou Liguo, but later the King of Qi competed for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period... Do you think this Qi Taigong should have the surname Jiang or Qi?
The little official stared, "This..."
Zhao Yun threw Mingtao back, "No! I just said that something is busy and I have no time to see guests!"
The minor official retreated only.
Cui Lin, outside the Jixian Government Office, was stroking his beard and thinking about what words he should use to impress Zhao Yun after seeing Zhao Yun. This can not only show Cui's importance to the cavalry, but also show the importance of Cui's family, but also give him a little reserve to avoid being sent by Zhao Yun to avoid being worthless by Zhao Yun...
Since Cui has already evil Cao, he must find the next one immediately.
The Cui family in Qinghe is just a little famous now, and it has not yet seemed to be in the prime of the Tang Dynasty after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so the Cui family still needs to parasitize on a strong man and then suck blood and grow stronger through the host.
Of course, for Cui Lin, he didn't think it was wrong to lie down on a strong man and suck blood. After all, it wasn't this the case since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? When a certain country was strong, it was low and small, and was a minister. When he was strong, he immediately turned against him. He was a descendant of the Jiang family after Qi. If he had noble bloodlines, Cui was not bad!
But Cui Lin never expected that the famous thorn he sent in was thrown out like that!
In this world, there should always be some people in this world who do not follow the old bloodline and do not value the decadent name!
