Chapter 332: Strive for the Front Line (Part 2)

Updated: 2013-04-11

The city under Dingxiang City suddenly changed and suddenly became popular. In just a moment, the city under the rescue of the Jin army was occupied by the Huns again! Dingxiang Prefect Huan Xuan was even cut off by the Huns and hung his head on the Huns' banner to show off his power. The sunlight shone everywhere, the city walls were broken and blood-stained.

However, the most dazzling thing is still the big banner, and the head that Huan Xuan is so angry that he can't rest!

General Sima Tai, the Pingbei general, couldn't help but say in surprise: "How could this be so?"

Wang Huang sent someone to help Zu Ti up and put it on the horse's back. Hearing this, he said with a serious look: "The barbarians outside the border are so cunning, so they are hard to guard against. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Generals should not act irresponsible!"

At this moment, the Hun soldiers in the city were just shouting and jumping, and they had no intention of fighting. But if they were careless and took it lightly because of this, they would only lose even worse. Sima Taiqiang, the general of Pingbei, pressed his anger in his chest and looked around and said, "Can you capture this city within half an hour!"

Sima Tai is a royal nobleman and a respected person in the clan. Now he is ordered to rescue Dingxiang, but he is teased by the Huns and barbarians, and is in a hurry to get confused. Seeing that Sima Tai is trying to attack the city, the generals hurriedly dissuaded him. Since the Huns had stole the city behind the Jin army, there must be a way to defend it.

If the main Xiongnu troops came here, the Jin army present would probably face the end of annihilation.

"The soldiers have just experienced a great war. How to attack the tough situation? Why not temporarily retreat to the periphery and gather troops before making plans!" Jin general Qu Te also stepped forward to persuade him.

General Sima Tai of Pingbei was not so angry at the age. After a hot and hot feeling of old face, he said calmly: "Sima Tai must be relieved of this hatred! Retreat!"

The Jin army did not dare to stay, but retreated with hatred. When he was bypassing Dingxiang City, Sima Tai still kept looking back and looked up, full of anger, gritting his teeth for the returning Hun soldiers. Zu Ti was unconscious and bumped on the horse's back. Zu Yue pulled the reins of Zu Ti's war horse on the side, and was also extremely angry.

You should know that the troops led by Sima Tai, General Pingbei, came from all directions, and Zu Yue and Zu Ti's tribe members were in Dingxiang City! Now that the Huns have occupied Dingxiang City, men, women, young and old in the tribe are equivalent to being under the rule of barbarians. I don't know what fate they will suffer, so how can Zu Yue not worry?

"Liu Yuan is not a person who kills indiscriminately. Although he is a barbarian, he knows the art of governing the people and has strict military orders. When the scholars wake up, you can persuade him with ease and don't be impulsive." Jin general Wang Huang came to Zu Yue at some point and whispered in a low voice, obviously seeing what Zu Yue was thinking.

Seeing the Jin army retreating, the Hun general Liu Ju sat on the top of the city in a leisurely manner. He had just divided his troops with Liu Yao and was attacked by the Jin army. With the troops in his hand, he could naturally resist the Jin army for a moment and notify Liu Yao to return to the aid.

Judging from the troops that appeared in Jin State, if Liu Yao could return to the rescue quickly, this battle would be harder and would always win. However, it would not be a good idea to lose troops and generals in this way. Moreover, Liu Yao had great strategies. It would be almost impossible to rely on Liu Yao to fight according to his own ideas.

It is better to seek others than to seek others. Liu Ju suddenly had a plan in his mind, so he called on his own deployment and the troops left by Liu Yao to attack the city to begin to retreat.

He didn't care about any siege equipment and left it alone, no one paid attention to it. Everyone followed Liu Ju out of the battlefield, and did not fight with the Jin army even if they had a knife or a gun. Withdrawing out of the dangerous area, Liu Jubian ordered the soldiers under Liu Yao to go and pick up Liu Yao, but he led the army to disappear.

After hearing what happened, Liu Yao knew that he had been manipulated by Liu Ju as a puppet. He was angry and felt a little surprised that Liu Qin had such a general. Since the contribution of Dingxiang City was taken away by Liu Ju, he should put the overall situation first and go to support Dingxiang.

Liu Ju led his people to greet Liu Yao outside Dingxiang City. Liu Yao sat on the horse's horse whip! The sound of the horse whip was as terrifying as thunder on the ground. Liu Ju was so scheming, and he was slightly surprised and stood on the ground and looked up at Liu Yao, as if he was surprised by Liu Yao's reaction.

Even if the two knew it well, if they had a big fuss in front of the Great Shanyu, Liu Ju thought that every step was reasonable and had something to say, and it would be impossible to cure his sins because of this.

Now that Liu Yao is having an attack in person, isn’t he clear about these things with his wisdom?

"General Liu's method of seizing the city is admirable!" Liu Yao waved his whip with a cold expression. He sat on the war horse without any intention of turning over and dismounting.

Liu Giant heard Liu Yao's elongated voice on the ground, and slightly suppressed his anger and said, "Thanks to the general to restrain the main force of the Jin army, otherwise it would be difficult to seize this place in the end. When the Da Shanyu returns, he will definitely remember the general's contribution."

Liu Yao smiled slightly when he heard this, turned over and dismounted: "General, you have made such a great contribution, and Liu Yao will definitely be recommended in front of his father."

Seeing Liu Yao's attitude change, Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard Liu Yao say he wanted to ask for me in front of the Great Shanyu, Liu Ju was even more happy, but his face was still stern. Just as he was about to speak a few polite words, he heard Liu Yao lower his voice and say beside him: "Now it is the time to advocate unity and unity of various tribes. Remember this method of the general, and it is not allowed to be used again. It is explained in advance that Liu Yao should give his strength to help."

Liu Ju's body shook and a chill came out of his heart. In terms of tactics, he was indeed a bit of a verbal statement that made it difficult for people to punish him. The Great Shanyu Liu Yuan had never tolerated any concealment in his eyes. Even if he did not treat his own fault, he might have the impression of disregarding the overall situation and greedy for his achievements.

After all the calculations, it was not without losses to seize Dingxiang City and suppress Liu Yao. The appreciation of various tribes but the appreciation of the Great Shanyu Liu Yuan is definitely not worth the loss in the long run.

Looking up, Liu Yao had already walked towards the city one by one, and Liu Jumeng was shocked. For the first time, he felt a little scared about the Hun prince who seemed to have suffered a great loss, and hurriedly followed him quickly.

Liu Yao's tall figure was very majestic and said without looking back: "The father intends to capture Dingxiang, and Jiuyuan separates the reinforcements of Jin State. I wonder what the situation of Jiuyuan is going on?"

Liu Ju had already looked at Liu Yao with admiration, and put away his contempt and said respectfully: "When the last time he set out, Jiuyuan City was already shaking, but I don't know if Jin State sent troops to rescue."

He nodded with satisfaction. Liu Yao knew that he had suffered some losses on the books, but being able to conquer Liu Ju would be very useful for his future foothold among various tribes. You should know that it is easy to get a general, especially among all tribes outside the border. There are no shortage of brave men, but there are too few people who can operate the strategy to such a level and be so bold.

"Although the Jin army retreated, it will make a comeback soon. Are you ready for the response?" Liu Yao asked.

"The city defense is seriously damaged, and it is mostly difficult to deal with the big scene when defending the city. At the end, the general thought that the Iron Cavalry should sweep the fourth field, making it difficult for the Jin people to get close; infantry as the auxiliary station to garrison troops, hindering the Jin people's advancement speed. Just wait for General Liu Qin to capture Jiuyuan, and the two cities echo each other, the Jin army will inevitably retreat." Liu Ju's original defense plan was not like this, but now with Liu Yao here, he can naturally implement the most perfect defense tactics in his heart.

Liu Yao shook his head slightly and said, "I will leave this place tonight. Dingxiang City's defense is difficult to help you. No matter how you remember to restrain the soldiers and not hurt the people."

Liu Ju looked a little disappointed, and then he knew that Liu Yao would not continue to consume his personal combat power here, so he clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, General, Liu Ju keeps the teachings of the Great Shanyu in mind."

...

On the border of the emerging south, two Jin troops collided dejectedly together, which was the troops of General Sima Tai, the Pingbei, and the troops heading to rescue Jiuyuan.

It is really a pity that Dingxiang lost its gains, but the reinforcements in Jiuyuan, the newly emerging territory, arrived before they were already broken by barbarians. The Jin army that went to support was not only unable to save the defeat, but was also ambushed by the Hun general Liu Qin and returned with heavy casualties and severe defeat...

General Sima Tai of Pingbei counted the soldiers. Originally, the two groups of people, horses, infantry and cavalry totaled more than 40,000, but now it is more than 20,000. Nearly half of the troops were lost in the battle between the two groups, which is really shocking. It is a bit shocking. It is a bit good to say some infantry, but there are not many iron cavalry in Jin State. This time, the 6,000 iron cavalry lost more than 2,000 cavalry, which really hurt Sima Tai, the royal nobleman!

When he learned that neither city was saved and was defeated again, the soldiers and generals in the military camp were depressed and their morale was depressed for a while. Even though General Sima Tai, the Pingbei general, had always been good at managing the army, he was hesitant at this time.

"I was ordered to rescue Xinxing, but I didn't want to be defeated. It was my fault. However, before the reinforcements arrived, there were still Yunzhong, Yuanping and Jinchang trapped in three places. What do you think of?" Sima Tai, General Pingbei, sat in the camp and said with a dim expression.

The eldest son Sima Yue stood up and said, "The barbarians are powerful and the army is small in two cities. Our rescue time is too short and we will be defeated. My father does not need to blame himself."

The foreign alliance forces in Xinxing County have nearly 200,000, while Sima Tai's troops are at most over 40,000. Although the rescue of Jiuyuan and Dingxiang, which are far away from the main force of the foreign alliance forces, the pressure they face and the variables of the continuous changing frontier forces of the opponent are difficult to estimate and imagine.

Besides, there were too few defenders from Jiuyuan and Dingxiang, which was not enough to resist the opponent's fierce attack. The Jin army was eager to rescue, but was said to have seized the opportunity to kill a big loss!

Wang Huang said: "Jiuyuan and Dingxiang guarded the main roads in Xinxing County. These two places fell into the hands of barbarians. It is probably even more difficult to rescue Jinchang, Yunzhong and Yuanping three cities."

Everyone agreed with this statement. The alliance forces outside the Great Wall occupied two cities and cut off the connection between the Jin army and the trapped three cities. It was originally unrealistic to compete with the nearly 200,000 foreign troops with more than 40,000 troops, but because there are still 60,000 or 70,000 troops in Xinxing County, it still seems that there is a glimmer of hope.

Now Sima Tai's team has only 20,000 remaining troops. It is impossible to break through the opponent's Jiuyuan and Dingxiang defense line, let alone support the besieged Jinchang, Yunzhong, Yuanping.

Sima Tai, the general of Pingbei, sighed and said, "Yanmen has been lost, and the new has been lost again. My Great Jin gate is open. How can I retreat to the enemy...!"

Jin State is currently in Youzhou, and all parts of Liaodong are fighting against allied forces outside the Frontier. Once Xinxing completely falls into the hands of barbarians outside the Frontier, the allied forces outside the Frontier will have geographical advantages and strategic diversified choices to divide their troops into Youzhou and other places.

With the advantages of the alliance forces outside the Frontier and the stalemate situation in various places, if this happens, it will probably completely collapse the entire defense line of Jin! The whole Jin State is not unaware of it, but he did not expect that Yanmen County would be lost so quickly, and he did not expect that Hu Fen would die because of this, and the Huns took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely!

The chain reaction made it difficult for the Jin court to react for a while. In addition, the limitation of national strength was to resist/restrain the foreign alliance forces in the Great Wall, but they wanted to control the emerging foreign alliance forces but were unable to do so...

Qu Te clasped his fists and said, "The barbarians are very cunning. Our army is stationed here and has no way to go. As long as the last general sees it, it is better to retreat to Jinyang to rectify the army and wait for an opportunity to attack again!"

As Sima Yue, the eldest son of Sima Tai, was also familiar with the way of using troops. He agreed with him: "The iron cavalry outside the frontier is like flying, and long-distance raids are not difficult. Our army has suffered heavy damage and is unsustainable. It is the right way to rectify and wait for assistance at this time!"

Sima Tai nodded slightly when he heard this, feeling a little bit of aligned. He was about to speak, but he didn't expect that he was annoyed by the man next to the account!

"The army and civilians of Dingxiang worked together to defend the city, and Lord Huan Xuan died in a fight. How could such a deep hatred be retreated? "A man still had blood on his clothes, and stood at the last person under the tent. At this time, he walked out with anger and asked quickly.

When the tent was heard, the civil and military officials were shocked, but they looked up and were in an uproar. It turned out that the person who was speaking was not someone else, but Zuyou who followed Zu Ti in Dingxiang City! Zuyou was in a white body and followed Zu Ti Mountain formation to kill the enemy, and he had no official position. Seeing his loyalty and courage, Sima Tai made his tent obey orders, and thus did what he did today!

"I think more than 200 relatives and friends of my family sacrificed their lives for the country. The old and young people in the family are still in Dingxiang City. Now the defense of Dingxiang City is vulnerable. The general holds heavy troops and can fight. How can he retreat? " Zu Yue knelt on the ground and cried and kowtowed, hoping that Sima Tai could lead his army to retake Dingxiang.

"You get up, retreating is a temporary measure. After the rectification is completed, I will make a comeback." Sima Tai admired Zu Yue's loyalty and courage very much, and raised his hand to stop the civil and military rituals who wanted to speak.

Zu Yue cried, "The barbarians outside the border killed people like grass, extremely cruel. The people of Dingxiang are already in deep straits and are waiting for the general to go to rescue. The general's command has tens of thousands of soldiers. It is difficult to obtain a broken city. I hope the general will work hard to retake Dingxiang!"

"Why do you have to do this? My father didn't mean that. It's just that the barbarians outside the border are powerful. How can we go deep into the enemy's territory? If we suffer another defeat, we may ruin the overall situation!" Sima Yue saw Zu Yue kowtow and went forward to comfort Zu Yue instead of his father.

No matter how you explain, Zu Yue just kowtowed and asked for his orders. The brows on his forehead gradually gathered on the ground, gradually forming a considerable area. Every time he kowtowed, the blood on the ground burst into high places, and no matter how everyone persuaded him, it would be ineffective.

The Jin army was afraid that the alliance forces outside the border would rush to attack for a long distance, so they slowly drove away in the direction of Jinyang. After a busy area, the ancestors of the empty land sat for a while, looking at the direction of Dingxiang with blood on their faces, and their hearts were like a knife cut.

"Cough cough... I know my brother..." A familiar voice sounded. Zu Yue looked back and saw Zu Ti walking towards him holding a wooden guard in his hand, his eyes full of bitterness and grief.

"Brother... I can't keep them... I..." Zuyou said with tears in his eyes.
