More and more soldiers jumped onto the wall of the village, cut off the shield, stabbed the spear, and stabbed the enemy soldiers who rushed to the wall of the village but had not yet figured out the situation, or drove them out of the wall of the village.

The Han Army in Yunzhou was located on the second floor of the siege. The single camp was not large in size, less than 500 steps in square foot.

At this time, no bonfires were lit in the camp. The Chushan cavalry generals who jumped onto the wall of the camp threw the torches in their hands into the enemy camp.

The Han army in Yunzhou sieges Taiyuan in the north for a year, and the camp and the inner military buildings were built into semi-fixed. Although the houses in the camp were almost all logged as roofs, they applied an additional layer of thick mud to prevent fire. They hurriedly wanted to

It is unrealistic for enemy camps to ignite a fire, but the torches thrown out are coated with rosin and will not be extinguished so easily.

At this time, the generals of Chushan only need more light to provide convenience for entering the camp to fight in depth.

Marching south from Tianmen Mountain, marching south in the dark, raising fires in the dark, and walking in the wind and snow, and braved the rain of locust arrows, passing through the narrow spaces on both sides of the Han army camp in Yunzhou, and immediately launched an offensive before entering the camps and camps.

It is impossible for all troops to avoid chaos.

Before, the generals of Chushan attacked the walls of the village from the front of the village, and it was easy to distinguish the enemy and us, but the formations were completely scattered, hundreds of thousands of people rushing into the camp, and the speed of the rushing was fast and slow, and the light was like that.

It was dark, and the gap between the armor and uniforms of both sides was not obvious. At this time, it was mainly based on the command and the familiar accent between the generals and the soldiers.

"Ambition to eat the meat of the barbarians"

"Drinking the blood of the Huns with thirst"

"Expel the Barbarians"

"Give me back the mountains and rivers"

Roaring and roaring shake the sky and earth, shocking people's hearts. The generals of Chushan advanced deep into the enemy camp like wolves and tigers, tearing all hasty and panic resistance to pieces

During the previous dynasty, Taiyuan City was built west of the majestic mountains of Luliang Mountain. The Fenshui River rushes out from the deep gorge of Luliang Mountain, and turns from the southwest corner of the city to yearn for the south.

The terrain of Taiyuan City at that time was much more steep than it is now.

In the early days of the Great Yue Dynasty, Emperor Taizu led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight and conquer Taiyuan for a long time. He was forced to build a dam in the Fenshui River to intercept the river, causing the Fenshui River to flow backwards to Taiyuan City.

After the old city of Taiyuan was destroyed, the new city was rebuilt from the east of the old site, and it was a distance from the Luliang Mountain to the west and the Fenshui River to the southwest.

Xu Huai stood on the wall of the village, looking at the city of Taiyuan, which completely revealed its full picture in the morning light, was so incomplete. Looking back on the situation when he escorted Wang Bing to Lanzhou for his post a thousand miles a few years ago, who could have thought of just three short days

In four years, it was actually a person or a thing.

"That's Qian Langjun and the others"

By this time, the Chushan soldiers fought fiercely overnight and had completely occupied two camps between the Han army camp in Yunzhou and the northern city gate of Taiyuan. At the same time, they also sent troops to occupy several whistle bases on the south side to open up Taiyuan.

City contact - At this time, dozens of people walked out of the northern city gate of Taiyuan. When they crossed the front base, Wang Zhang saw Qian Zerui among these people with sharp eyes.

"Zheng Tu, go and welcome Qian Langjun on my behalf!"

The first step is to open up contact with Taiyuan City.

Now, in addition to the attack on the enemy camps on both wings has not stopped, Xu Xin'an and Yang Qiye also led four or five hundred soldiers to block the north and south gates of the Han army camp in Yunzhou. Li Chulin may send troops from the Han army camp in Yunzhou at any time to launch a counterattack.

At this time, Xu Huai needed to stay at a high place to watch the changes in the battlefield. He did not dare to leave for a moment, so he asked Zheng Tu to welcome Qian Zerui and others on his behalf.

"Harde Xu Jun, General Wen, you recognize it. This is Xu Wei, the prefect of Taiyuan." Qian Zerui dragged his weak body and asked someone to support him to climb the village wall to introduce Taiyuan commander Xu Wei.

Xu Huai had never seen Xu Wei before, but Wen Hengyue had met.

At this time, Wen Hengyue was so thin that his cheekbones were protruding, his eye sockets were deep, and his body was once extremely strong. At this time, he was only a tall skeleton left. Compared to when he was in Shuozhou, he was completely like two people.

.

Xu Huai was also shocked and hurriedly bowed to Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue and said, "Xu Huai was happy to fulfill his mission. He luckily saw Xu Fujun in the north of Taiyuan City, General Wen!"

Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue, Qian Zerui and others resisted the order and refused to surrender. It was impossible for the court to hold them accountable and they were not able to resolve the siege of Taiyuan, but it was "generous" to reward officials and give titles.

Xu Wei was appointed as the Minister of War at this time, and was also the commander of Hedong Transportation Commissioner, Taiyuan Prefecture, Military and Horse Chief Supervisor, Wen Hengyue Zetian Xiong Army Commander, and Xiang Army Commander; even Qian Zerui was appointed as the Privy Council for the Imperial Order,

Taiyuan Prefecture is sentenced to other positions.

Xu Huai sent him to the magistrate of Chushan and the capital of Yuhou of Tianxiong Army.

After the imperial court lifted the Caizhou Defense Envoy's control over the command of the kings and soldiers, Xu Huai, as the magistrate of Chushan, led the Chushan Township soldiers, nominally under the jurisdiction of Caizhou, but as the Tianxiong Army, he was the capital of Yu.

Hou, in name, was controlled by Taiyuan.

Of course, Xu Huai bowed to Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue, but he still respected their integrity and perseverance in fighting spirit.

Without Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to stand in Taiyuan for a year. Not to mention that there would not be a thousand-mile raid this time, the situation in the entire Hehuai River and Huai River will be even worse than it is now.

                                                              

At the same time, they did not have a deep understanding of Hehuai enough, so they were forced to choose a relatively stable strategy for sending troops.

If Taiyuan had fallen when the Chihu people first invaded south, I would think about how desperate it would have been to the main force of the Chihu Western Route Army heading south along the Fen River.

In that case, the main force of the Chihu Western Route Army will directly insert into Jiangzhou and Puzhou, or attack Guanzhong from Puban, or go south from Maojin Ferry to occupy Luoyang, and there will be no defense battle in Gongxian at all.

Without Taiyuan's persistence, the Chihu people invaded the south for the first time, and it is very likely that the main force of the Western Army had been wiped out. It is very likely that Guanshan, Luoyang and other places had already fallen into the Chihu people's pockets at this time.

Although the situation in Hehuai has been completely deteriorated and Bianliang may fall at any time, Taiyuan has been holding on for a whole year, delaying the main force of the Chihu West Route Army for seven or eight months, and forcing the main force of the Chihu East Route Army in four or five months.

In the month, he was forced to retreat and rest for three or four months before going south again.

In fact, this has won extremely critical time for the military mobilization and adjustments within Jianghuai, Guanshan, Jinghu and other places, and has also retained more hope for the ultimate resistance to the Chihu people's invasion in Jianghuai and other places.

The reason why Xiao Linshi and others still believe that the Southern Dynasty has hope is that their great contributions are Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue, Qian Zerui and the military and civilians in Taiyuan.

It is precisely this. Zheng Huaizhong, Qian Shangduan, Qiao Jien and others did not oppose Xu Huai leading his troops to raid Taiyuan.

They all knew that no matter whether Xu Huai's surprise attack on Taiyuan was successful or failed, he would win great reputation for King Jing, and at the same time he could not accuse them of watching the fall of Bianliang without relying on their troops.

Putting aside the plot of Zheng Huaizhong and others, Xu Huai felt that Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue and others were worthy of his heavy gifts.

"Hello, Xu Junhou, Xu (Wen) dare not accept this great gift!"

Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue hurriedly returned the greeting.

At this time, Taiyuan City was lonely in the deep belly of the enemy-occupied area. Even though Qian Zerui met King Jing from Puban and Zheng Huaizhong only returned, they did not believe that there would be reinforcements.

Although Xu Huai was following the order of King Jing, who has dared to lead an isolated army and ignore dozens of times stronger enemies and penetrate into the enemy territory, who is not a famous general who has been passed down through the ages?

What's more, Xu Huai led the Chushan army to attack Taiyuan, which really brought hope of life to tens of thousands of Taiyuan and them.

Wen Hengyue had been in contact with Xu Huai for a short time. The most impressive thing before was that Xu Huai helped Wang Fan seize the military power of Tianxiong's army from Ge Boyi and killed Ge Huaicong and others. Therefore, he had a deep prejudice against Xu Huai, even if he was in the change of seizing the troops.

He continues to serve as a general under Wang Fan's command.

Xu Wei had not contacted Xu Huai in the past, but the rumors he heard were all unfavorable to Xu Huai.

However, the so-called big fire can refine real gold. In front of Xu Huaiyou's body like a god of war, in the fierce battle between the left and right wings, the enemy troops on the periphery are still several times more than them, but they are fearless.

Prejudice and rumors are shattering in an instant.

"Go and bring some meat porridge to Xu Fujun and the others!" Xu Huai looked at Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue and others' weak appearance, hurriedly ordered, and explained, "The enemy's grain storage is mainly in Yunzhou Han in the north

In the military camp, we captured two enemy camps and seized hundreds of stones of millet. I asked them to chop the horse meat and cook it with the millet as soon as possible."

"How much food did Xu Junhou bring here this time? Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been hungry for too long. Now few people can hold swords and guns. Without food, there is no supplement. Not to mention breaking through, it is difficult to get out of Taiyuan City!

"Xu Wei asked with concern.

The hundreds of stones of food seized at this time were not enough for the whole city's military and civilians to have a meal.

When Qian Zerui returned to Taiyuan, he tried his best to persuade Xu Wei to make preparations for breaking through. However, in addition to Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue did not believe that there were reinforcements, and the food was out of stock.

In order to save physical strength, the generals guarded the city wall from day to night. Even if the enemy used a stone catapult to throw stone bullets, no one went down to the city. Many people thought that they would rather be killed by the stone bullets and would be relieved;

The people were even lying at home and waiting to die, and they had to dig the tree core to satisfy their hunger.

To break through, the first thing to solve is food.

Xu Huai said: "There is not much food to carry, but we have 5,000 horses on this trip. Except for keeping two thousand war horses as much as possible, other horses can be slaughtered and eaten. Of course, we must be able to attack the Han army in Yunzhou as fast as possible.

Daying, that's the best”

Xu Huai took the initiative to save less than 6,000 good horses in Tongbai Mountain.

This time, in order to raid Taiyuan, Xu Huai brought out more than 4,000 horses from Chushan, plus Yang Qiye's division and Zheng Jinqing's division, a total of more than 5,000 horses.

Now that they slaughtered war horses as military rations, Xu Huai was bleeding in his heart, but there was no way. In order to march quickly and to make the enemy completely unprepared, they did not carry much food and grass from the prefectures.

"Okay!" Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue applauded repeatedly.
Chapter completed!
