The Han and Hu were crossing south and attacking the north, and each of them refused to give in. The Han army was ravaged by the Hu people and launched a counterattack in less than half a month! The Hu army along the coast did not guard against the Han people's strong pressure, and there was no navy stop. The Han army was thrown into stones and arrows and was shot hard to get close. The Han army soldiers landed on all the warships and launched an offensive!

The Han general Yuan Yan and Wang Kan were ordered by General Jiang Weizhi to lead tens of troops to carry chariots, throw stones, crossbows and other weapons without stopping. After landing, they turned into the vanguard of the three armies to open the way to meet the enemy! Jiang Wei, who was in charge of the army slowly, left behind the navy and 5,000 Han soldiers as the rear team, staying on the coast to prevent the Hu people from attacking.

Yuan Yan sent the chariots to guard both sides of the army, layer by layer, connecting front and back to protect the flanks of the army from being attacked by enemy cavalry. Hundreds of soldiers pushed the crossbow chariots first to open the way, with long oars and large shields, and strong bows and hard crossbows to protect each other from left and right. After the more than ten catapults in the central army were modified, the big wooden wheels creaked and slowly followed the army. The chariots in all directions were loaded with stones, and they were only waiting for the Hu people to attack and attack them head-on!

The best Han people's methods to deal with Hu cavalry were nothing more than the Western Liang armor soldiers. However, the forging of iron armor was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it consumed extremely resources from the Ku Mansion. Only Yongliang's army was equipped with. Before fighting against the invasion of the Hu people, General Beigong Chun and thousands of armor soldiers were killed in battle. All the armors were captured by the Hu people, and nothing was left.

The Later Han defenders retreated again and again along the coast, and only launched an attack after the Han army entered deeper. However, the infantry guarded the important traffic route and was difficult to resist the power of the stone-cattered crossbow chariots, and the cavalry rushed to rush and could not break the army of chariots and battles. For a time, the war broke out, but the Later Han infants and cavalry retreated and only harassed and tested the four directions, and there was no way to hinder the Han army from moving forward.

Seeing that the troops were invaded, Hu Yanxiong, the guard general of Chaoge of the Later Han Dynasty, knew that the Han army was in the city. On the one hand, he sent more people to defend the city, while shooting fast horses to urge reinforcements to help.

"A bunch of waste! The small Han army can't stop it. Do you want troops to come to the city?" Hu Yanxiong was furious and furious, pulling out his sword and pointing at the command soldiers kneeling on the ground and cursing.

As soldiers of the Later Han Dynasty, it was common for them to be insulted by their superiors. Even when they were outside the border, the military strength of each tribe was actually divided into slaves and nobles. Slaves were soldiers in wartime and slaves in normal times. Although they were strong and healthy, they were difficult to match the nobles. During the war, both military and treatment were inferior, and it was not surprising that they were common for insults and beatings.

"Yes...yes..." The soldiers who obeyed the order were used to claiming yes, but they could not ease the anger in Hu Yanxiong's heart.

"Why do you have to do this? The Han people are prepared and Jiang Boyue is even more famous Han general. It is natural that the army outside the field cannot curb their conduct." Yin Che, the deputy general behind, was quite smart and advised him when he saw this.

Hu Yanxiong was a member of the Huyan clan of the Huyan clan. Chaoge was the only way to the city of Ye. It can be said to be a heavy city on the front line. Although he was able to defend such important places, Hu Yanxiong himself was not a mediocre person. After Yin Che's explanation, Hu Yanxiong's expression was somewhat gentle: "The Han people are unstoppable, and the city has not yet experienced the baptism of war. What is Lord Yin's plan to resist the enemy?"

Since the Hu people occupied Chaoge, although some troops have been stationed, they have never carried out a battle to defend the city. People outside the frontier are often divided into life and death in the wild, and very few people guarding the city. According to the Han people's city guarding model, Hu troops in various places are practicing, but without actual combat, no one is confident.

Hu Yanxiong knew that the seven thousand men in the city were all majestic and aggressive, but that was a field battle. The most important thing about defending the city was the distance and organization of the defenders, which was exactly what the Hu troops lacked. A complete omission was lost. Such a battle could not exert the characteristics of the Hu people being good at fighting and cavalrying, but instead was unable to be at ease. In this way, he had already lost his own arm and was difficult to exert his performance. He was very disadvantaged.

Yin Che pondered for a moment and said, "Since people cannot stop them, you can make them block them!"

"God!" Hu Yanxiong opened his eyes wide and stared at Yin Che, with no clue about this. However, he kept scolding in his heart. Yin Che had been influenced by the Han people for a long time, and even his usual behavior was similar to Han people rather than Hu people. Now he was still keeping a secret at this critical moment, so he deserves to be beaten!

Yin Che took two steps and said with a firm look: "The general can harass the troops in the field everywhere, block the road with wood and stone to delay the pace of the Han people. He also divided his men to accumulate grass and trees on the open space thirty miles south of the city to burn fire to block the fire! I think the Han army has complete vehicles and countless armies, and such a big fire will be difficult to advance!"

Hu Yanxiong said with a hint of joy on his face, and without any doubt: "How long can the fire stop the Han people? What should our army do?"

"Ah...this...there...the officer thought that the general could be in the field at this time, and he would just wait for the fire to be wiped out and the Han people were lazy to attack him!" Yin Che was almost stopped by Hu Yanxiong, and he talked with a clue. However, he was worried in his heart. He also thought of setting fire to block the enemy out of thin air, as a stopgap. He was not sure whether it really worked. He didn't want Hu Yanxiong to be serious and asked about the follow-up, which almost made him embarrassed.

Having said that, Han civil servants often say that when they think about it, they are refuting it, and it is normal to argue with each other. This is the norm when they get this style to the Hu people, but they are regarded as a magic trick, and they are really ashamed...

Hu Yanxiong didn't know that Yin Che was just talking casually, and he immediately dispatched troops to prepare for related combat matters. The Hu infantry and cavalry in the wild were ordered and immediately acted according to the orders.

Hu Yanxiong left Yin Che and two thousand soldiers to guard Chaoge, and he went to the city to order five thousand soldiers, including a thousand cavalrymen. After arranging the city gates behind him, he left.

More than 10,000 people gathered outside Chaoge City, all of them Han people from nearby villages. When they heard the war fires rise again, they took their family resources to go to Chaoge City to avoid the war. The national justice is different, and it is not enough for the people who even want to have enough food. Life is difficult, but they still have to live. As long as life still exists, no one will give up.

Compared to eating, avoiding the disaster of swords and weapons is an urgent task. You must know that the Han army is strict and does not disturb the four fields. However, in this era of war, it was the best cover for the Hu army to plunder everywhere. The people of Hebei were used to being ravaged by the Hu people, and they had already figured out the rhythm of killing people, so they rushed to Chaoge City.

As soon as the Hu army came out, the people avoided the road and made the army move forward. The pair of wolves and tigers looked at the panicked people, and the desires of the greedy beasts in their eyes made everyone tremble. However, it was the time when the army was on the battlefield that it was difficult to plunder. The five thousand Hu army was very itchy, and they all thought about quickly dealing with the Han army in the wild, and then returned to the city to catch a lot of money.

The people flocked in, and Yin Che had no objection to this, and even welcomed him very much. He occupied Hebei and established the Later Han regime. The country was most nervous about food, but the people were missing. In addition to the people who survived the war, many of the people who survived silently under the rule of the Hu people, they were wandering in the barren mountains and ridges, hiding in the mountains to reclaim land, and experiencing the sun with a meager harvest, and unwilling to become slaves to the Hu people.

The imperial court had to bear the labor taxes, which could not be avoided in any country. However, the time for Hu soldiers and nobles to capture them and kill Han people was still happening. Who would be willing to farm with your heads in such a country without life guarantee?

Since the demise of Jin State, the beggar army composed of refugees either died in battle or followed the Han people to the Central Plains. As a result, the strength of the wandering people without household registration was greatly reduced, and they could only hide and be worried. From the demise of Jin State to the establishment of a regime by the Hu people, Han men were killed in battle and were killed quite a lot.

The remaining wives and daughters cannot survive alone, and they can only serve the Hu people in exchange for the power of survival. Women are despised and worthless in this era, and are also inferior to cattle and sheep in the eyes of Hu people. Such compromises often lead to so-called survival. In humiliation, the people who already have a mourning voice have only one more choice to vent their anger.

The displacement of the people and fear of the prefecture made the household registrations in various places miserable. Seeing that more than ten thousand people were pouring into the city outside the city, Yin Guang, as an official in charge of Chaoge's government affairs, was very happy and satisfied with this. He added tens of thousands of people at once. It goes without saying that he must be an outstanding representative of outstanding political achievements.

Today's imperial court is famous for its bravery and has few promotions, and if it performs slightly in terms of political achievements, it will be rewarded. The reason is that the civil affairs level of the Later Han Dynasty was really too behind, and even the household registrations in various places were still constantly losing population.

"Come here, restrain the people who have just entered the city, allocate them to food, and wait for the official to go to comfort me later." Thinking about the essence of what I learned from the Han people, Yin Che straightened his back and ordered, his heart full of excitement.

After a while, thick smoke rose up in the south of Chaoge City, and a fire burned as beautifully as a plan. The fire was very strong, and it caught the strong wind. Yin Che couldn't help but praise him, "God helps me, how could it be a clever idea!" He couldn't help but exclaim himself, and Yin Che suddenly felt a little bit of artistic conception. He immediately led his personal guards to the city to appease the people, and ordered the officials to prepare to book these people one by one.

The officials were also Hu people, and they were not very clear about the Han people's routine of governing. But there were also Han people among the officials. Seeing that most of the people entering the city were villagers from nearby villages, they were already registered. What else would they register? However, the Hu people were in power, and Yin Che looked bright. Han officials were all willing to protect themselves and were unwilling to cause trouble, so they were simply more casual. If they could fish in troubled waters, they might be able to get more food as a reward. You should know that even if they work in the government office, the food in their homes would be the bottom of their lives. This was the result of saving money.

The wind helped the fire, and the fire leveraged the power of the wind, and a big fire burned wildly. Everything seemed to be sure of the victory of the Hu people, but Hu Yanxiong, a general of the Hu army thirty miles away, almost beat Yin Che at this moment...

The fire blocked the road, but the Han army's pioneer was just a cover. When the Hu people set fire, military information came from far and wide. The Han army's large brigade had already divided its troops and advanced quickly, defeating several wandering Hu people and infantry and cavalry in one fell swooping!

Hu Yanxiong was also a long-time general on the battlefield. He was shocked when he heard this and quickly mobilized troops to prepare for the battle. He did not want to wait for the Han army to stand up but there was no movement. When the military situation was passed on, he realized that the Han people had no idea about the fire and were not interested in the local Hu soldiers. He actually changed the route and headed for Chaoge!

Although there are mountains near Chaoge, it is not a dangerous place. Mountain roads, official roads, large and small roads are well connected. Since the fire is blocked by the main force of the Han army, the main force of the Han army naturally does not have to come to a decisive battle.

"Damn it! Go back to the city quickly!" Hu Yanxiong remembered that only two thousand people were left in the city, and he couldn't help but feel cold on his back. He quickly led nearly 10,000 infantry and cavalry back and ran wildly.

The Later Han soldiers were confused by the Han people in the wild. At this moment, the defenders in Chaoge City were still unknown. Yin Che, surrounded by more than 200 Hu people, began to comfort and condolence the people entering the city from the east of the city, and sent some food to win people's hearts. Even ordinary officials had the possibility of cutting off the cooking at any time, and these people were even more unable to take the next meal, and they were whispered in their stomachs and were hungry.

Using food to soothe and win people's hearts is undoubtedly the most tempting and effective method. The Hu people may not be very used to the procedures, but they have done too much to buy people's hearts and no one needs to teach them.

The pale-faced and thin Han people were covered with ragged clothes on the streets, looking like beggars from the prosperous Wei and Jin Dynasties. But now the residents in the city are also dressed in garbled faces and worn out. Seeing their compatriots like this, not only did not look down on them at all, but instead she burst into tears when she was moved by the scene.

When he saw the Hu people in charge of government affairs in the city distribute food rations everywhere, the eyes of the people in the city lit up, and he wished he was the homeless refugee who flocked into the city to avoid the war. He could still have something to eat than swallowing here. At the same time, he was lamenting. Staying in this city was hungry and hungry. It was already very good to be able to survive in such a hungry season...

Looking at the grateful faces of the people entering the city, even those who became officials on the first day knew that these people were willing to stay in the city to live. Yin Che's cheerful patrol in the city ended and then climbed to the city to look around. It was difficult to leave the officials to register and register the people.

The Han officials did not speak, and the Hu officials were very serious and responsible. When they found that most of the people had already been listed in the book, they could not help but look at each other, not knowing who should have passed the news to Yin Che. The Han officials beside him saw the Hu people looking at each other in a row, and the fierce expression in their eyes knew that they could not escape this disaster, so they could only go to the city tower dejectedly.

More than 3,000 cavalry from the Later Han Dynasty galloped and left six or seven thousand infantry far behind. The Han army took a detour to attack Chaoge, which made Hu Yanxiong anxious and swear. He ran for more than twenty miles in one breath, and Chaoge City was in front of him. Hu Yanxiong saw Chaoge as the atmosphere as before, but he was puzzled.

Where is the Han army?

No need to ask more, the shouts of killing in the rear mean everything! The Later Han infantry team, left behind, was attacked by two Han troops without any defense, and immediately rushed into pieces and fought everywhere. The Hu Qi, who was deliberately let go of the Han army, had just woken up at this moment, and quickly turned his horse back to respond again.

More than three thousand Hu cavalry rushed over anxiously, and saw countless Han soldiers siege and killing Later Han people on the battlefield not far away. Hu Yanxiong raised his arms and shouted to cheer up his morale, and he wanted to rush in to let the Han army know how terrible his anger was. Unexpectedly, the sound of the gang suddenly sounded, and hundreds of Han soldiers holding Zhuge crossbows suddenly appeared in the grass on both sides of the road. The crossbows shot quickly, like locusts and rain, shooting Hu cavalry on the head and face!

The screams were heard one after another, and the Hu cavalry had no time to hide. It was useless to wield weapons or to reach out to take their own crossbows and fight back. A rain of arrows costed four or five hundred cavalry. At this moment, there were crossbowmen who rushed to the Han army, but after the Han army released the crossbows, they had already turned around and fled into the path. A Han army with more than 4,000 people rushed towards them in front of them!

Infantry recoils the cavalry, this is what a madman does. But if he is panicked and his lineup is scattered, and the cavalry team hovering in the spot, what's the harm in rushing at him?

One of the two major factors that maintain the combat power of cavalry is formation. Only by maintaining the formation can cavalry have strong lethality in combat and be invincible. The two factors are undoubtedly mobility, but Hu Yanxiong and others do not.

"Kill me! Kill all these Han pigs!" Hu Yanxiong was shocked. He slapped his teeth and rushed forward, regardless of the few arrows he was hit by, and he hated the Han people's teasing and the Han people themselves!!

The spear and iron cavalry clashed together, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, blood splashing, and the roars and howls of the soldiers on both sides were mixed together. They could not tell each other, and could not tell the flesh and blood. The only thing they could tell was life and death!

The battle situation was passed on to Chaoge City. Yin Chezheng, the left-behind official, angrily rebuked several Han officials who had not told the true face of the people earlier, which made him waste a lot of military rations in vain. He did not expect that the battle outside the city seemed to be difficult. Yin Che was panicked when he heard this, and left the Han officials aside, quickly came to the top of the city, holding the battlements with his hands to look into the distance.

However, the battlefield is not twenty miles away from Chaoge City, but fifteen miles away. Can you see it?

"Send people to quickly and find out the situation and repay them at any time!" Yin Che ordered a little panic. Although he was a civil servant, Yin Che did a lot of things to kill people and see blood. Not to mention anything else, just killing Han people to make fun of him, he would have no less than twenty lives. What shocked him was not this fierce battle, but the responsibility for defeat, not to mention that he could not escape.

Although he did not have the interest in working outside the border, he would have much more support than outside the border. Han men and women slaves would play with him. But if he was demoted because of defeat, it would be difficult to come back according to the current national system. Even the pair of hungry eyes outside the border would guarantee that he would never have the chance to return to this great country.
