Chapter 70 Power (4)
After the Youji coalition crossed the river, there were many fierce confrontations with the bandits in the Central Plains. △In just two days, the front line wedged from the bank of the Yellow River to the northern border of Chenliu, Jiyin and other counties. The two sides invested tens of thousands of troops, and the golden swords and iron horses were ravaged and trampled, and the momentum was shocking.
The shogunate of the King of East China, which had already shocked the world, was already shaking. The sudden rise of Dajin Youli Fang Town and the most powerful force group in the Central Plains started a new confrontation on the huge body of the loser, just like two torrents formed by steel and fire collided head-on, and the storm waves caused were enough to shake the world. While the tragic wars were on one after another, countless scouts and spies also spread the battle situation everywhere; and in the territory of Dajin from east to west, countless people were holding their breath to the end of the war.
But what was surprising was that the war between the two sides suddenly stopped on the third day after the Youji coalition crossed the river. The bandits of the Central Plains who had originally launched a ** offensive seemed to be about to push the Jin army into the river in one breath and suddenly stopped and left, as if they had just allowed the Jin army to gain a foothold south of the river. The Youji coalition did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but just seized several ferries and flew into groups of troops.
This situation is too strange. Could it be that the Shile bandits were shocked by the ferocity of the Youji coalition in the past few days of battle, so they planned to first eliminate the remnants of the Donghai King's Shogunate entrenched in Juancheng? Or perhaps something went wrong within the Youji coalition formed temporarily, and they lost the will to expand the results of the battle? Various inferences and speculations were all over the place, and the forces of the Hu Jin tribes on the front line of Juancheng that were directly related to it were even more dedicated to it.
The fifth day of the Youji coalition crossing the river, at noon.
Southwest of Juancheng, on the banks of the Huzi River.
The Huzi River is an important river channel that runs between many rivers and lakes such as Dahe, Jishui, Puhe, Daze, Leize. Since ancient times, floods have been rampant. Water conservancy has been built over time and has been destroyed again and all previous efforts have been wasted. "What will gourds do when they are determined, and they are overwhelmed and thoughtful to make a river." The gourd song written by Emperor Wu of Han has been sung since the Han Dynasty.
The heavy rain a few days ago caused the water to rise upstream of the Huzi River, and the river channel leading to the Daze River downstream was not smooth, so the river water unexpectedly broke through the embankment and overflowed. Although the water was only as deep as the waist, the widest part was about a mile, which was like a narrow lake. There may be a long wind passing through the river surface, causing surging waves to hit both sides of the bank, making a loud bang. The original depression on the shore has been completely submerged, and most of the continuous reeds and poles have been submerged into the water. On the higher river bank, the lush shadows of trees are directly reflected in the water, and they are repeatedly gathered and dispersed as the water surface fluctuates.
Such floods have long been accustomed to the people living on the banks of the Huzi River. In the past, people even rode fishing boats, rafts and other people on the river surface, which could catch fish and fill their stomachs. If they were lucky, they could also pick up some property rushing upstream. But now, due to the wars over the past few years, the people on both sides of the Huzi River have long fled, and half of the boats on the upper surface of the river are not seen. Occasionally, some wild ducks, water birds and other people play in the water and eat here, and they will soon fly away in panic.
The vigilance of birds is a source of origin. If you look down from a high place, you can see that the camps are connected in the high slopes of the forest on the banks of the Huzi River, hundreds of camps are connected. Perhaps for the sake of concealment, the camps are silent, but a solemn atmosphere rises into the sky. Deep in the lush forests, in front of the camp at the center of the camp, there are two military flags erected, one with the words "Huyan" written on one side and the other with the word "Guo". This is exactly where the generals of Shile's subordinates, Huyanmo and Guo Heiluo are stationed in the "Eighteen Cavalry".
At this moment, Shi Le distributed troops to besiege Juancheng, and tens of thousands of troops stretched from east to west for dozens of miles. The two generals were responsible for the battle on the front line west of Juancheng. After the repeated defeats of the Jin army in Juancheng, the morale was low and there was no desire to fight. Hu Yanmo and Guo Heiluo followed Shi Le to fight in Hebei and the Central Plains. After a long test of war, they have now become generals who can stand alone. Hu Yanmo Hao died bravely, Guo Heiluo was calm and meticulous, and cooperated with each other properly. Therefore, the two generals were only able to seal all the passages from Juancheng to Lihu and Puyang, making it difficult for the Jin people to fly. Even after later learning that the General Pingbei of the imperial court led Hebei troops to the south, Hu Yanmo and Guo Heiluo were not afraid, but were ready to fight, thinking about a fierce battle with Lu Daoming, washing blood and Bingzhou, and Yecheng several hatreds of defeat.
However, what made Hu Yanmo and Guo Heili confused was that although the Youji coalition forces moved, Shi Le did not issue any updated military orders. The day before yesterday, the military envoy arrived and still ordered the soldiers to stop fighting and not to fight. This situation lasted for five days, and the bandits below were impatient.
These bandits were not ordinary refugees who were brought in. A considerable number of them were mixed and chaotic soldiers scattered in Hebei in recent years. They were already unruly and uncontrollable. Moreover, for them, if they could not fight, they would lose the opportunity to plunder. After lurking in this harsh mountain forest for a few days, many soldiers were like beasts forced into the bridle, becoming more and more anxious. The barracks were full of manic atmosphere, and even Hu Yanmo, who was a general, was inevitably affected, and his cruel side gradually became unscrupulous.
From this morning, extremely shrill wails came from time to time. It was not until noon that he saw him naked, lifting the tent and walking out, and lit a few personal soldiers casually: "Go and clean up the inside!"
The soldiers rushed into the tent, enduring the disgusting smell in the tent, dragging out a few female corpses. The blue and white naked bodies were covered with terrifying scars and wounds, and I don’t know how many unimaginable abuses had been suffered. When the corpses hit the ground with the drag of the soldiers, streams of blood flowed down the hanging stiff limbs to the ground. This situation fell into the eyes of the bandits around them, but did not give them a little pity, but instead inspired many envious eyes. Hu Yanmo took a robe in such eyes, put it on and walked out with his head held high.
Now Huyanmo has the general title given by the Han Dynasty of the Huns, and he has also led elite soldiers. After all, his behavior is very different from when he was a bandit. After a few steps, he suddenly noticed the long red marks left by the body, and snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. So the personal soldiers quickly drew water to wash the ground, and washed Huyanmo's blood-stained soles carefully.
While in a busy situation, Guo Heiliu came out of nowhere.
He and Hu Yanmo have been together for many years and have long been used to these cruel situations. Therefore, he stepped forward without hesitation, waving a piece of sheepskin in his hand: "Hu Yan! General has an order!"
Hu Yanmo was humble and ignorant. Therefore, Shi Le had ordered him to convey it on his behalf. Just looking at Guo Heiluo's excited expression, Hu Yanmo could determine that the days of frustration were over! He suddenly grabbed Guo Heiluo's arm and said, "Come on, come on, talk about it!"
Not long after, a series of military orders were issued from the tent. The warriors and generals trained in the process of slaughtering the Jin people again and again entered the tent to accept the orders, and then rushed out to summon the troops of the headquarters. In an instant, the whistle and horns were clamoring, and the entire military camp was shaking. After a while, three thousand elite cavalry murderous intent soared into the sky and came out in full swing!
After walking up the Huzi River for more than thirty miles, Hu Yanmo and the other generals Guo Heiluo were west, approaching another forest camp in Lihu. Shi Le pressed his sword and stood up and shouted loudly: "Judge of the Army!"
The judge of the army was Shi Le's brother-in-law Zhang Yue. Since the Hebei thieves crossed the river, Zhang Yue had also fought with the Jin army's army, galloping in the enemy's formation and killing people like a slut. No one dared to underestimate him. Only Shi Le shouted at him like a lackey, but Zhang Yue did not have any resentment. Hearing Shi Le shouting, he rushed over from a distance and leaned over and knelt down: "The last general is here."
"When is it now?"
"It's just three o'clock."
