Chapter 347: The War Rekindled (Part 1)

More than twenty tower ships docked at the ferry, and the Han army's flag was fluttering in the wind. In recent days, the wind was extremely strong, and the corners of the flags kept ringing under the strong wind. The Han army's ships were extremely majestic, and in the upper reaches, they were the Huns' naval fleet. Although they were far away, they were already pale in comparison.

It had been several days since the ferry. This was a warship specially used by the Han army to pick up and drop off the remaining soldiers of Jin. The upstream was a naval army surveillance organized by the Huns. There was a nearly 10,000 alien army gathered on the ferry port, guarding against the actions of the Han navy day and night.

When did the foreign races outside the Great Wall see such a large ship? Many soldiers and generals tried to approach and look at each other with surprise, but they were not pretending. However, the Han army was also wary, and the Han army did not land, so it was boring to look at each other across the ferry.

"The Hu people are constantly looking around and they are disgusting. After waiting for a long time, there is no news. The Hu people are afraid that it is unreliable." Han army general Guan Yi said in a very annoyance for several days in the cabin.

A civil servant sat by his side and said, "The General has everything, and the time limit is not far away. It is natural for the general to hide in the boat all day long. I believe that it will be a day to show off my strength in the future."

This civil servant was handed over to Cheng Xian as the former Jin official, and this time he was ordered to lead a fleet to welcome the surrendered troops of Jin State. However, Guan Yi had never appeared and had been hiding in the ship.

Guan Yi twisted his beard with his hand and said, "This war is extremely dangerous. Although the Hu people's warships upstream are broken, they are still very powerful. In order to avoid the Hu people's suspicion that the twenty-five tower ships here have few combat equipment, Lord Cheng, you must be careful."

Cheng Xian smiled and said, "The Hu people killed my people and regarded us as cattle, horses and livestock. It was honored to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy Cheng Mou! He was dissatisfied with General Guan, and Cheng Mou slept on the sword these days, and what he was waiting for was this day."

The two had a great time and they were having a good conversation. Before they knew it, another night passed. The next morning, Cheng Xian still sent an envoy to communicate with the Hu people and inquire about the news.

"The messenger has turned around but there is still no news. General Guan, look?" Cheng Xian immediately entered the cabin to convey the news after receiving the reward.

But seeing Guan Yi wearing a green robe, soft armor and heavy armor on the outside, several young soldiers were helping Guan Yi to sort out the armor and tie the belt tightly. Guan Yi was energetic, with bright eyes and laughed loudly: "Zhuge Xingzong and Zhang Shiyan are all capable people. Since the agreed time limit has come, but they still have not been able to deliver the message, they must have encountered an unexpected situation. The war is about to begin, so Lord Cheng takes care of himself!"

Twenty-five tower ships moved slowly towards the ferry shore. The Hu people at the ferry were observing the Han people's ships all day long to try to see some tricks. However, the tower ship was extremely huge, and the ones who showed up always showed up, how could the real and real people find out the inside? At this moment, the Hu people who came to monitor the Han ship uninvited to panic and hurriedly sent people to spread the camp behind.

The boat ignored the shouts of the Hu people on the shore and put down the boat boards to the dock. However, when the war drums were pounding, the flags were waving, and the three thousand Han troops quickly landed on the shore and rushed to the foreign camp!

Although the Hu people were brave, they were not stupid. How dare they block the road after being monitored on the shore? At that moment, everyone ran away with their heads and fled, and some of them were hiking here were chased and killed by the Han army. As soon as the alien camp opened, the general He Tu slapped the horse and swung the axe to lead seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses to rush out. Although it was fierce, there was no formation in a hurry.

"Hu Gou is untrustworthy, and he will harm my Han envoy. Guan Yi is here!" Guan Yi swung his horse and rode ahead, and the Azure Dragon Sword was like a flying dragon storming into the crowd of aliens in the sky!

Seeing this, the Han army shouted and accelerated their pace, followed Guan Yi into the alien formation, and caught the alien army off guard and shouted bitterly and flesh and blood!

Seeing this, He Tu laughed furiously and said, "What are the only thousands of people afraid of? Kill me!" Without waiting for the command of the foreign soldiers and generals, they had already surrounded him and didn't care about any formation. They just fought to see the Han army. Although the Han army had not yet established a firm foothold in the foreign soldiers, the military strength was very different after all, and they could still gain the upper hand at the beginning. After a long time, they were inevitably besieged and fought.

The battle on the shore alarmed the alien soldiers and horses from all over the world. The alien navy in the upper reaches even heard the news and went down the river to intercept the Han army's tower ship. Unexpectedly, the huge Han army's tower ship came against the current. The Han Dynasty minister Cheng Xian stood at the bow of the ship with his sword to command the ship to attack the Hu navy, without any fear!

When the Hu people saw this, they couldn't help laughing. These Han Dynasty ships had been carefully observed by their side. The catapult carts, giant crossbows and other objects on the ship were removed. The remaining attack power was simply not worth mentioning. Even if they had a larger body shape, what's the use of fighting against the current?

"Prepare to seize the ship!" The Hu people stood on the boat and looked at the dozens of tower ships coming towards them. As early as when they saw the Han army tower ship, the Hu people had a consensus, and even issued military orders. Once things change, they can try to seize the Han people's tower ships to make up for the serious shortage of ships in Hebei.

Since you want to seize the ship, fire attack and other objects are not available. The smashed ship can be repaired, but fire is a ruthless thing, and the fire is even more uncontrollable. If you dump the turmeric oil and fight in the current according to normal tactics, you may not be able to grab it by a ship.

The crossbow stones were shot in the air. Although the firepower of the Han people was weak, they were unwilling to show weakness to hit the Hu navy against the current. The constant loud noises and the shouts of killing on the Yellow River intertwined everything. Even though the scale of this war was not large, the result was unexpected!

As soon as the battle was fought, the Han Dynasty navy was covered in wounds. However, the war continued to deepen, several Hu people's warships sank one after another. The Hu people showed mercy and did not want to use fire, but the Han people did not have such concerns. Of course, they did not do anything. Even so, the firepower gap between the two sides was still obvious, so it should not be.

However, the warships were very bumpy during the fierce battle. Although the Hu people on the ship were all those who could adapt to the wind and waves, they were killed on the water surface with real swords and guns during the war, and they were always not as stable as the ground, and they were inevitably nervous. Many people began to dizzy and vomit. How could they fight?

The warships controlled by the Hu people were called naval forces, but in fact they were just seasick Hu people who were not seasick and controlled the Han people to control the ships to fight on the ship. Even if people outside the Great Wall know how to learn how to operate the warships they had never seen before in such a short time?

Jin State inherited the remnants of Wei State, and the capabilities of naval soldiers were no longer on the same level. In order to fight against foreign races in the north, a large number of naval troops also landed as ground troops, and the level of those who remained was reduced to another level.

But this is not enough. The people who were unwilling to join the army ran away again. After the Hu people caught some people to make up their numbers, the Han people who controlled the warships were far from able to fight. Their level was still very good when they practiced and controlled various weapons. Where could they be useful when their lives were at stake?

The Hu people in charge of surveillance were too busy to take care of themselves, and the Han people who could handle the boat were unwilling to die. At present, many ships were unwilling to fight and avoided the battlefield and tried to save their lives.

I don’t expect that when the Han Dynasty sent an envoy, he had already made a judgment on the time of the trip. In the agreed time, whether it was Zhuge Jing or Zhang Gui, they had to find ways to send out the news. If there was no news, Guan Yi and his troops would immediately land on the battlefield. At the same time, Cheng Xian’s navy would notify all ships who came to convey the message in the fastest way to launch a comprehensive offensive!

The first response was the Han Dynasty navy who stationed troops in Guandu and Puyang. Although the two naval warships were not many, the victory was relatively close. The two naval armies had arrived one after another. At present, the three Han Dynasty naval armies attacked the Hu people's fleet. If Cheng Xian's army had limited means, the Han Dynasty navy in Puyang and Guandu were well prepared.

The gunpowder was filled with smoke and fire. In an instant, the navy troops on the upstream were almost wiped out, and only scattered ships escaped from the battlefield and docked.

The Han army general Luo Shang led thousands of Han troops to quickly land to rescue Guanyi. If he couldn't walk five miles, he would run into foreign soldiers and horses! The Han people suddenly started a war, and the soldiers and horses of all parties from other races were also mobilized. At this moment, everyone was surprised to see that the Han army was actually landing in foreign soldiers and generals!

Luo Shang snorted coldly and led his army to rush to fight. The foreign soldiers and horses were unable to defend themselves from being defeated, and the Han army then blocked the killing. The defeated foreign soldiers were also well-behaved. Knowing that the Han army wanted to reinforce the ferry that started the first war, he changed direction and retreated. The Han army pursued for a while but did not continue to chase after them. He changed direction and rushed to the ferry.

The sudden war made the land of Hebei, which had been calm for several days, no longer calm. The Hu people mobilized their troops and the Han army also came out in all directions!

A Han army in Pingyang, east of Yecheng, bravely landed. The Han army general Liu Yin led more than 2,000 cavalry to cross the river quietly while the battle of the Yellow River.

"The atmosphere is unusual, the old general, let's say goodbye!" The barbarian general Mao Jing looked around and clasped his fists at Liu Yin.

Liu Yin sat firmly and said immediately: "The Hu people blocked the news. I don't know what the situation of Zhuge Xingzong and others. I am here to intercept the Hu army and inquire about the information and leave it to General Mao."

Mao Jing was a lieutenant general who had been following the Han army to fight south and north for several years. He was stationed near Xuchang and was personally commanded by General Jiang Wei. His barbarian soldiers were only seven or eight hundred, but they all crossed mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. Although the cavalry decided the victory or defeat when entering Hebei this time, if they were inquiring about information and copying the path, they still had to rely on these barbarian soldiers.

"Don't worry, old general, children, come with me!" Mao Jiong glared with big eyes, and pursed his lips, and then led hundreds of barbarian soldiers to disappear from Liu Yin and others' sight.

The Han general said to Kuang: "The wind is so strong that it will have an impact on the march. Pingyang is bound to have heavy troops on the arm of Ye City. Why not turn to the plain to explore?"

Xiang Kuang was the younger brother of Xiang Xiong, a famous minister of Jin State. When Sima Yan moved north, he defected to the Han Dynasty. This time he went to Hebei to fight, one of the civil and military officials who left Xuchang with Jiang Wei Xingye, and was the guide who specialized in Liu Yin's journey.

Liu Yin nodded and agreed: "It is reported that there were Jin generals in the plains who resisted the Hu people before, but now they don't know what the situation is. It's better to go to the sentry and explore."

After Liu Chan's design and the continuous transformation and development of skilled craftsmen, the Han ships could already land in many relatively poor places. Therefore, the Hu people's approach of guarding the ferry and garrisoning heavily could not prevent the Han army from landing in Hebei.

At this moment, Liu Yin's more than 2,000 cavalry had just landed, and the Hu people didn't know it. Seeing that the surrounding terrain was flat, although it was conducive to cavalry combat, more than 2,000 cavalry wanted to intercept and kill the alien cavalry in this terrain, which obviously would suffer a great loss. Therefore, Liu Yin agreed with Xiang Kuang's proposal. Before knowing the movement in Hebei, he would look for the remaining soldiers of Jin State first, and he had already used it to Zhuge Jing and others.

The plains guarded by Jin general Liu Kun are undoubtedly a place worth inquiring about.

Emperor Liu Chan and Jiang Wei and others always paid attention to the situation in Hebei. It is understandable that the Han Dynasty and the Huns will have a battle with each other, and it is even more inevitable, but they did not expect that the war would start so quickly. However, Emperor Jin Sima You desperately defected to the Central Plains, speeding up everything.

The Han army's troops along the Yellow River were just regular equipment, and the Central Plains' troops were not too late to be dispatched. Although everything was started, the troops that could be dispatched in this initial battle were very limited. Moreover, the Yellow River Navy had to deal with the Hu navy and had to take on the matter of transporting soldiers and generals. Therefore, the Han army in each route had limited troops.

He galloped all the way to the plain. Although there were no foreign soldiers and horses coming out to prevent them, more than 2,000 cavalry traveling eastward alarmed the Hu people's garrison and Chengxian along the way. Liu Yin could not take care of so much information about Zhuge Jing and others. After three periods, Liu Bei, Zhuge Wuhou and Liu Chan, Liu Yin was a veteran in the court, and he had long estimated the dangers of Zhuge Jing and others' trip.

People always die, whether it is Zhuge Jing or Zhang Gui, they have developed this enlightenment since they choose to serve as an envoy. Death is not scary, but what they are afraid of is that they fall into the hands of the Hu people alive, and personal honor and disgrace are irrelevant, but if the Han Dynasty is insulted by the Hu people, it will be even more uncomfortable than death.

Liu Yin naturally did not want Zhuge Jing and others to suffer casualties, but he also had to make the worst plans. Therefore, finding the whereabouts of Zhuge Jing and others became the key.

"General, I found a team of Hu people ahead, as if moving towards the plain!" The scout in charge of reconnaissance in front returned to the public. The strong wind kept blowing and making people unable to open their eyes and could only squint their eyes and look at the object.

Liu Yin's heart moved and shouted loudly: "It must be something that will happen if the weather is still marching! Life and death are destined, follow me!"

The wind blew the grass and trees swayed, and the dust flew. More than two thousand men rode in the strong wind and rode their horses and galloped forward!

Blood flowed into a river under the plain city, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Nearly 10,000 foreign soldiers and horses broke through the city gate and rushed towards the city! Jin general Liu Kun led the remaining Jin troops to retreat into the city to fight with foreign soldiers and horses. They fought for an inch of land. The war was very tragic!

"Zhuge Xingzong will never return, and he will be harmed by the Hu people. Yue Shi, what else can you say?" Jin general Liu Zhi was covered in blood and shouted indignantly.

Liu Kun was also covered in blood, but at this moment he was still calm: "Your Majesty has surrendered to the Han Dynasty. It is reasonable for us to follow us. Is it because of Zifang that surrendered to the Han Dynasty, or is it that he blamed me for being destroyed by the Hu people for this?"

Liu Zhi, whose courtesy name was Zifang, was a wise general of Jin State, and he was quite strategic. He had gathered thousands of remaining soldiers to wander in the mountains to resist the invasion of foreign races, but he surrendered to the Han Dynasty under the persuasion of Zhuge Jing and Liu Kun. He had made an appointment to persuade the surrender to join the plains and then return to the Central Plains together.

Unexpectedly, the public army encountered a surprise attack from a foreign race on the way to the plain, and suddenly suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Liu Zhi was still hesitant to surrender and lead his troops to lead the troops to leave the plain. After repelling the alien race who was robbing the city, he connected the retreating troops of Liu Kun and others into the city.

However, it was difficult to close the city gate, and after a bloody battle, the aliens broke through the city gate and rushed into the city.

When Zhuge Jing saw the alien race suddenly attacking, he said in the chaos that he wanted to ask Liu Yuan clearly and then disappeared. At this moment, Liu Zhi thought about it and couldn't help but regret it. If he still entrenched in the mountains, how could he suffer such a catastrophe!

Liu Zhi said angrily: "What a coward is doing with a greedy life and fear of death! However, the only remaining power of my Great Jin Dynasty has been lost, so it hurts!!"

The remaining troops of Jin State were getting fewer and fewer, so Liu Zhi naturally attached great importance to this. Now more than 30,000 people have gathered in all sides. After this battle, only 2,000 people fled into the city. In addition, more than 3,000 people under Liu Zhi's command had only 5,000 troops.

Seeing that the alien soldiers were very brave, the soldiers under their command were already irresistible due to long-term injuries. The streets that were constantly eroded and occupied, and the areas that were lost faster and faster represent the tragedy of the war.

Liu Kun sighed and said, "The Hu people are treacherous and honest, and it is difficult to pacify them. It is a pity that I have no long-range planners in the Great Jin Dynasty!"

"Hey! Whether it's okay, now I can only do my duty as a minister!" Liu Zhi also sighed, feeling very regretful.

People outside the Great Wall were rude and did not follow loyalty and righteousness, and confronting them was all treacherous routines. Although the Han people had strategy to control them, they were mostly trapped by etiquette and integrity at the national level, so they were plotted by the despised foreign races. After careful consideration, Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty often achieved his achievements today, while the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which adhered to the rules, was repeatedly hit.

Liu Kun knew that Liu Zhi could not let go of the country and wanted to restore the Jin Dynasty. Liu Zhi also understood that Liu Kun's choice was not wrong, and he was unwilling to worry about it for a moment.

"The Hu people disregard morality and this move will be incompatible with the Han Dynasty. There must be a battle between the two, so even if you and I die, it is worth it." Liu Zhi thought for a while and said, although he was talking to Liu Kun, it seemed to be comforting himself.

The promise was destroyed and the Han envoy was killed, and the remnants of Jin were wiped out in one fell swoop. Such tricks reminded people of it, which was terrifying. Even though they had already decided to invade the Central Plains, they still refused to show their ferocious faces until the last moment.

Although Liu Yuan, the leader of the Huns, advocated benevolent politics, he was always cruel and ruthless in his journey to compete for the world's hegemony and did everything he could do!

The music is melodious like crying and complaining, the music is pleasant and homesick. No one cares about it during the fierce battle, but everyone hears it. Liu Kun, the general of Jin, sat upstairs, commanding as if he was calm, and holding a hukata in his hand and playing with his heart.

As early as the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, he loved Hu people's supplies very much. Hu people's tables, chairs, and even musical instruments were introduced, and it was popular in the Han Dynasty at that time. It would be a great honor for the powerful and nobles of the Han Dynasty to own Hu chairs and other objects. Therefore, it was not a strange thing that Liu Kun liked to play Hu horses.
