Chapter 326: Drama under the Sun City (1)
Updated: 2013-03-27
Dai County is Yanmen County, which is affiliated to Bingzhou and is an important military corps in northern Hebei. It has always been full of Hu and barbarians, and the situation is very complicated.
At that time, whether it was the Xiongnu or the Xianbei, countless foreign races attached to Cao Wei, and they all gathered here, so they were very familiar with the situation of Yanmen County. Yanmen County originally had more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, but after countless years, they were either abandoned or eroded outside the border. However, there are not many counties left now, but they are all the key points!
Tuoba Lu official combined with nearly 70,000 troops from the six major tribes. He faced the first line of defense in Yanmen County. From west to east, there were four counties in Mayi, Yinguan, Wangtao and Juyang. These four counties run through the east and west and are connected into a line, either suddenly in front or later, and they are arranged in an obstacle.
If you want to advance the army into the hinterland of Yanmen County, you cannot ignore these four county towns. The Jin army had already built fortifications based on the county town and hid troops in the mountains and fields. Before they could break through the city, even if Tuoba Lu boldly sent elite troops to pass by the city, they would probably be ambushed and blocked by the Jin people.
The scouts in the distance were driven to death by Xianbei cavalry and fled everywhere. When the defenders in Juyang City saw it, they hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome their scouts. There were more than a hundred scouts in their sight, but there were more than a hundred scouts scattered around in total?
Some were killed on the spot, some died in battle, and some even did not care about escaping from Juyang City, so they could only take the way. Those who could return to Juyang were the closest scouts to Juyang. There were more than a thousand Xianbei iron cavalry. After a burst of shooting, they stopped their horses and stopped chasing them.
Seeing the Jin State scouts spend a lot of effort around the fortifications before entering the city, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry suddenly burst into laughter as if they were starting a pot, and they were very presumptuous. This fortification was originally used to hinder the advancement of the cavalry outside the border, but now it almost hinders the escape of the Jin scouts and almost ruins the lives of the Jin Knights.
Although they were not good at speaking, the Jin army on the city also noticed this when they observed the Xianbei people. They couldn't help but look angry, and some people shouted loudly on the top of the city.
The scouts were only put in their hearts in their hearts when they were suddenly hunted by Xianbei cavalry. A small heart had already reached their throats. The mood was a little stable, but they did not dare to stop at all. The scouts quickly went to the prefect's mansion to report what happened outside the city.
Wang Yu, a general who was left by Juyang, heard the news that the generals in the city were spreading the news. At this time, he was walking out in armor and meeting the scout at the gate of the mansion.
Wang Yu's name is Bochun. When he was a teenager, he was a poor disciple who had no support and could only make a living with herd sheep. The place where he herded sheep was very close to the school. Whenever he passed by, Wang Yu would sigh and cry, and he was very sad. So Wang Yu used his free time to pick up firewood and sell it in exchange for money to hire others to copy books for himself, and then used the time to sheep to study hard, and used puppet branches instead of pens to practice writing.
Such a hard-working child focused his energy on his studies and accidentally gave up the sheep. At that time, Wang Yu had no money and could only sell himself to pay the debt to the sheep owner. Fortunately, Xu Zizhang, the local area, was a keen and open-minded person, who paid for Wang Yu and provided Wang Yu with his studies.
Wang Yu was eight feet tall, with a unique appearance and a charming voice. Although he was wearing armor on his body, he also had a bit of Confucian temperament.
"Report to the Lord, the Xianbei cavalry swept the periphery, and the brothers had nowhere to hide, and most of them were killed. We finally came back to communicate the military information, so please let the Lord decide!" The scout knelt on the ground and didn't care about the occasion and hurriedly reported the situation outside the city.
Wang Yu twisted his beard with his hand and said, "Can you see clearly how many troops the enemy has?"
There are 12,000 Jin soldiers in Juyang City, and more than 200,000 people. The city is not considered a large county, but it is already a large-scale county in Yanmen County. All ethnic groups outside the border will come sooner or later, but Wang Yu was also quite nervous when he really came to fight at this time.
The scout bowed and said, "Reporting to the master, it was impossible to observe carefully when the incident happened, but according to what we saw, there were about five thousand cavalry more than five thousand cavalry."
"Well... the iron cavalry attacked the city is like seeking death. The Xianbei meant to expel my eyes and ears and ears and ears, and follow me to the city to see it." Although Wang Yu was a civil servant, his organizational ability and strategy were superior to ordinary generals.
Otherwise, with Hu Fen's old Taoist, why would a civil servant like Wang Yu be arranged to guard the city at the forefront of this frontline, rather than to guard the fierce generals?
A group of people followed Wang Yu quickly climbed the city wall, and Wang Yu's banner of the general who defeated the captives was also raised high, as if they were demonstrating against the Xianbei cavalry in the distance. Looking into the awning, thousands of Xianbei cavalry were indeed galloping back and forth in the distance, rolling up large areas of sand and dust to fill the sky, which immediately shortened the sight of the Jin people.
"Come on, please send the news back to Guangwu quickly, no mistake!" Wang Yu observed for a long time, and had no idea about the movements of the Xianbei tribe. After the other party expelled the scout of Jin State to explore the horse, Ju Yang actually lost the ability to investigate.
There were thousands of cavalry in Xianbei, and there were less than a thousand cavalry in Juyang City. The Jin army along the way received the order to defend Juyang and had no troops to go out of the city to fight. With ten thousand infantrymen against the four or five thousand cavalry in Xianbei, it is clear which one wins and who will lose.
What's more, the dusty masterpiece could not see the movements in the distance. At this time, it was just a humiliation to send troops. The Juyang defensive fortifications had long been established, and the city had sufficient money, grain and water, and was not afraid of attacks from all ethnic groups outside the border. Wang Yu knew that he could not understand the ideas of the Xianbei people, but he passed the news to Hu Fen, and Hu Fen, who was stationed in Guangwu, would definitely have a way to solve this problem.
The general took the order and left. Wang Yu watched the smoke and dust grow bigger and bigger, gradually covering the Xianbei cavalry. He suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. He couldn't help but say to himself: "Going back must have the intention of siege, so he must not be careless..."
That night, the lights on Juyang City were brightly lit. The soldiers and generals of Jin held a knife and were staring at the army outside the border that could not see the edge in the distance!!
The general of the Juyang, Wang Yu, looked excited, and held the sword in his hand and stared at the alien army closely to observe its movements. The other party had been still in place for half an hour. If he didn't do any movement for such a long time, he would have to be prepared, but he just didn't know what to prepare.
"Sir, look, there's something going on!" Wang Yu also saw the alien army neatly splitting out more than 20 yards from the large group of troops, slowly stepping towards Juyang City! After that yard, countless siege equipment slowly rolled out, and more than 20 yards were scattered around, moving forward in an orderly manner.
"This!..." Wang Yu's face was extremely solemn, unable to cover up his surprise and surprise. All ethnic groups outside the border had their own methods to attack cities, but now such a systematic and formal siege was something he had never heard of. Although the Central Plains War that year made the aliens know all aspects of the Han people, it was really unexpected that they could command the army so rigorously in the past few years and attack the Han people by siegeing the cities.
Wang Yu was not afraid of the other party's method of siege. He said that soldiers came to block the water and soil. With such complete preparation, even the Han army came to capture Juyang City would not be able to do it in a moment. Just so many fortifications outside the city were enough to keep the enemy lying in countless corpses.
However, the Jin people are still looking at the alien race with an old eye, but the alien race is constantly growing and improving. This change may not be obvious in the short term, but will the Jin people who have never faced their opponents have become more and more indifferent to the terrible nature of the opponent's growth?
It was not the Jin people who started the war, but the Xianbei catapult!!
Dozens of stone bombs burning with raging flames fell into the city before the Jin people could react. The wailings and screams in the city behind stimulated the hearts of every Jin people. Wang Yu couldn't help but screamed: "Quickly transfer a man to suppress the flames in the city to put out the fire! Go and put out the fire!!"
As he spoke, dozens of fire bombs slashed over everyone's heads, and the shouts in the city behind him became louder. At this time, the Xianbei tribe's square formation had already arrived under the low wall outside the city. The shield and oars stood around with a large shield. The Xianbei warrior behind him waved a huge hammer and smashed the low wall!!
The low walls were accompanied by loud sounds, splashing around, smashed and razed to the ground by Xianbei warriors!
Without waiting for Wang Yu's decree, a large number of arrows soared into the air above the city, and shot rapidly towards the Xianbei vanguard troops with flames!!
The Xianbei people's shield and oarsman held a large shield to cover their bodies and covered their comrades around them. The rocket was nailed to the shield and oars but could not burn. The surface of the shield had already covered with layers of animal skin. Before leaving, they even used horse manure to prevent the fire attack of the Jin people!
The shield cannot be raised, but the fire arrows that shot down the ground suddenly cause fire! These winding and folding low walls are to block the advancement of the cavalry outside the border, and also block the way forward of the siege army.
The workmanship of the low wall may be rough, but there are flammable items such as sulfur hidden under the hay and other objects that have been laid on the ground. Some hay is even intentionally soaked in oil and exposed to the sun, specifically for fire attack!
The fire was a whole film, and there was a burst of cheers and thunder on the head of Juyang City. The crossbowman shot arrows even harder and shot a large number of aliens at the distant end. Just after cheering for a moment, Wang Yu discovered that things were not as easy as everyone imagined.
The Xianbei team was equipped with special iron fork soldiers. When their troops arrived at the outer periphery of the low wall, they raised hay and other objects on the ground under the cover of the shield and oars. Although this move could not avoid the losses of the Xianbei vanguard's vanguard, it greatly reduced the killing of the fire attack!
The fire became increasingly larger. After losing some of its troops, the Xianbei moved backwards, avoiding the raging fire, waiting for the flames to burn everything, and then advance.
"Hmph! The Xianbei people have such knowledge, and they are ready to cast the stone cart!" Wang Yu secretly regretted that he had just been careless. The countless low walls were two or three miles apart, and the flammable objects were laid in several sections. If he had prohibited crossbowmen from shooting just now, the Xianbei army would have more troops entering the low wall group. At that time, he set fire to one stone. Even if the other party had a way to deal with it, he would probably have more to kill the opponent.
The fire is now blocking the two sides. The fire is burning with raging fire. After the fire disappears, the Xianbei will definitely use the same trick again, and the low walls burned by this fire are as many as one-third. In other words, the Xianbei army found a method and only needs to pay a small price and three fires for a short period of time to use the Jin people's own fire attack to pull out the low walls on the periphery.
The Xianbei people's offensive temporarily stopped, but the fireballs on their heads were still thrown into the city. The fire outside the city echoed each other, burning thick smoke to make up for it, making people feel anxious and hot!!
Seven or eight miles outside the city, the main business of the Xianbei army was set up here. The head of the Xianbei Suotou tribe, Tuoba Luguan, looked at the fire in the distance and said: "The only way for the Jin people is to think that we were waiting a few years ago, it's really angering!"
Tuoba Yilu smiled and said, "The Jin people arranged this way exactly to suit our hearts. Since I have to take the lead, I will destroy the might of the Jin people, so that the other people can fight with all their hearts and strengths."
The horse whip in Tuoba Luguan's hand shook and said: "Hu Fen's army gathered in Guangwu. Juyang is just a chess piece that consumes our troops. I hope that there will be no excessive amount of troops here, otherwise it will be not easy to kill Hu Fen."
Tuoba Yilu knew that after his elder brother succeeded as the leader of the clan, he followed the style of his predecessor and cherished his people very much. He was chosen by the Huns as the pioneer of the road. It was really painful for Tuoba Luguan, the leader of the Xianbei Suo head. You must know how long it will take for a group to reproduce and develop to its current scale. After a war, thousands or even tens of thousands of corpses were scattered, which was equivalent to causing Suo head to retreat for decades...
"With a big brother commanding ahead, I will definitely not disappoint my brother!" Tuoba Yilu said to Tuoba Luguan, trusting his elder brother Tuoba Yiyang very much.
The one who commanded the Xianbei people and horses in front was Tuoba Yixun, the eldest brother of the head of the Suotou clan. Tuoba Yixun was dressed in Xianbei costume and sat steadily on the war horse. Two short axes were inserted in the butt bags on both sides of the war horse. They were Tuoba Yixun's weapon that had been fighting outside the frontier for more than ten years, and it was very sharp!
"Uncle, the fire is getting smaller." Tuoba Yulu, who was beside Tuoba Yixiao, said softly.
Tuoba Yixiao laughed and said, "You guys are good at observing you, come here, prepare to fill the land and advance!!"
With a command, the sequels of several columns emerged and launched countless car battles. The car was filled with sand and soil, specially used for extinguishing fires.
The fire suddenly subsided, and more than twenty Xianbei teams shouted loudly, and flags fluttered in the night sky. Tuoba two big black characters reflected in the eyes of every Han people at the head of Juyang City!
The sound of smashing the wall was endless, and the ones who charged forward were the most keen and strong warriors in the head of the rope. The Shield and Lu were on guard, and the hammer hand was not concerned about the arrows shot from the wall were fully focused on the work of smashing the wall. The hammer swung a short wall and disappeared in just a few seconds!
Several hammers were just knocking on each one, and this speed was far from what the Jin people expected. The shield and hammers were fast, and the iron fork hand, which was specialized in dealing with underground hay, was even more agile. The longbower kept shooting at the top of the city. The cooperation of all troops was perfect!
