Chapter 1225 Xuancheng(1/2)
As soon as Dao Wang left Waili City, he received the news of the loud noise of the army besieging Jincheng. After understanding the reason, he sighed and ordered the food that had been stationed in Taicheng for a long time to be allocated to rescue emergency services.
But the morale of the army is already irreversible.
On the tenth day of March, when he arrived in Jiangcheng County, he learned that hundreds of Liang troops took advantage of the clamor of the camps and their morale was depressed.
He broke out while the night was night and disappeared into the vast night.
This news is both joyful and sad.
The happy thing is that the Liang people really couldn't hold on anymore, and their troops had never reached two thousand. By this time, they were exhausted. Hundreds of people broke through, and it would be good that hundreds of people could survive in the end. Moreover, the wounded soldiers could not be taken away. This was also a military merit for Zhao Yin, who had been besieging for a long time.
What I worry about is that the army’s morale is not good, and if possible, I still have to make a big correction.
These people have been fighting for so long and have experienced hard battles. It is okay to train them well and use them to intercept them.
The incident in Jincheng was happening, and Director Wang remembered Xuancheng again.
He was a little worried after all, so he picked up a pen on the carriage and wrote three letters in succession.
A letter was sent to the General of Nanzhonglang and the Governor of Jiangzhou, Wang Bin.
Wang Bin's tent, he captured Shicheng before the supervisor Lei Ming, and was advancing along the water and land, chasing the Liang people.
Lei Ming's younger brother Lei Dian was appointed as Sima of Xunyang County. He attacked Wankou with Zhou Guang, but failed. After the Liang people crossed south to Xuancheng,
They retreated completely to consolidate Xunyang County.
As for Hefei, it probably gave up. At present, only the prefect He Chong and thousands of soldiers are holding on, and it is almost impossible for reinforcements to come in the short term.
Zhongli, which is further north than Hefei, has fallen.
Director Wang didn't want to investigate whether the city was broken or the fallen or the fallen fallen. It was meaningless. Isn't the Liang army drinking horses and smuggling the Yangtze River, and smuggling the Yangtze River, and the Huainan army was transferred south in sequence? It's meaningless to entangle the details.
Director Wang plans to ask Wang Bin to draw the Jiangzhou army to join the Xuancheng battlefield near the centre of the lunar calendar to quickly quell the chaos in Jiangnan and then see if there is any chance to reinforce Jiangbei.
Of course, he knew that Zhuge Hui in Wuchang was not very stable, but now that things have come to this point, there is no better way. It is helpless to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall.
The second letter is written to Su Jun.
He also wanted to persuade this person again. The Northern Dynasties could not give him high officials and generous salaries. Only by staying in the Great Jin Dynasty could he be valuable and gain more and greater benefits.
The third letter was written to Shanxia, and the sender was Wang Dao's relatives, Wang Dun's heir Wang Ying-·
At this time, there were already large army outside Xuancheng County.
Liu Chao did not come here in person, and Tao Fu, a Shi in Xuancheng, took over the command.
It is said to be a large army, but in fact it is only 20,000 people, divided into three military camps, surrounding them from the north, east and south directions. As for the west, it is Lujiang (now Qingyi River).
The Tao family army is the east of the city, with the largest number of people, exceeding 8,000.
The Tao family army was still in the north of the city, but it was the Wanling Tao family, a branch of the Tao family of Moling, with a total of 7,000 soldiers.
In the south of the city is the Xu family and the Ge family have joined forces with more than 5,000 troops.
It’s not that there are no more troops to gather, but that there are still many wars in Danyang and Wuxing. Putin has even been transferred to Kuaiji, where he is aided, and it is impossible to distribute many personnel to this battlefield.
Sima Chong's tribe was also not there, because the Zu family, a descendant of the commander of the Shanyue Zong, incited the rebellion. He gritted the bullet and led five thousand people south to suppress it.
Shanxia's troops advanced along the Lujiang River, and the pioneers advanced to the area west of Xuancheng County.
Obviously, they wanted to gather west of Lujiang, confront the Liang army first across the river, stabilize their position, and then launch an attack.
On the Liang army, there were 4,000 people in Xuancheng County, basically all of whom were the Ji family.
There were Qian family who had collapsed here in the camp outside the city. The Sun family had more than 3,000 soldiers, plus about 2,000 Liang troops, including more than 600 cavalry.
The two sides first contacted on March 5th.
Ji was eager to make contributions and took the initiative to attack, but was defeated by the thieves.
After the Jin army won the first battle, they did not rush to attack and began to set up camps until today.
To be honest, the Liang army was a little delayed, but Ji only wanted to turn Xuancheng back, but he did not dare to take the initiative to go east and go deep into the Sanwu area, and the opinions of both sides were difficult to unify.
Until today, all debates have stopped because the Jin people took the initiative to form an array in the wilderness to invite the battle.
Obviously, they don’t want to attack the city, and they are more likely to want to finish the battle and go home quickly.
Just so happens that the Liang army doesn’t want to attack the camp, and they don’t want to drag it to the wet and hot plum rainy season.
The two sides joined forces and fought in a plain wilderness east of Xuancheng County.
Ji Chengma, the son of Ji Shihe, selected three thousand soldiers, Chen Yuzhengzhong. The remnants of the Qian family and Sun family were on the left wing, and 1,400 Qiang soldiers were on the right wing, slightly in front, making the entire formation not so straight, but with a little right bulge.
The Tao family on the opposite side almost came out in full swing, and 7,000 people formed a thick conical formation. Three or four hundred people in front were all strong, with large shields, iron armor, long spears and strong bows, obviously elite.
After the three-way drum sounded, the two sides had almost no tests and soon entered a state of engagement.
The enemy's front and arrows faced the Ji family's most elite troops. As soon as the battle broke out, the sound of killing shook the sky and blood gushed.
Ji Shihe and Guo Song stood at the top of the city and looked at the entire battlefield.
"General Guo, why haven't you sent the Iron Cavalry out?" Ji Shihe really had never fought a war and urged him as soon as he came up.
"The infantrymen of the two armies had just fought, but their strength had not declined, and the casualties were not severe. How to send cavalry?" Guo Song refused directly, and he didn't want to tell him how to fight.
Ji Shihe could only continue to watch.
Alas! The third family's slaughter was knocked down, are he still alive? If he died, how should I meet my third brother? Cao Zi and my family have been four generations. It is rare that a brave and loyal person seems to be in the trap? Could it be that he died?
This was a tragic kill!
Ji Shihe's face was so white that it was beyond redundant.
A department that has been raised for many years!
There are quite a few grains, rice, wine and meat that are spent every month. Ji Shihe read the account book and lamented to the tribesmen that it was not easy to raise soldiers. Everyone laughed and said that it would not work without these people, and that the family business would be swallowed up sooner or later.
The Jiangdong court has always ignored the following matters. When everyone fights, they rely on these elite troops to shock the foreign enemies. What should they do if they are gone?
"General Guo, it's time to dispatch a cavalry!" When he saw his own troops fall down like bamboo, Ji Shihe couldn't help but grab the sleeve of Guo Song's military uniform.
"Noisy!" Guo Song shook his hand hard and scolded.
Ji Shi and the room.
Guo Song remembered that he had a good relationship with Huan Yi and Huan Wen and his son, so he relaxed and said, "Duke Ji, the Central Army can hold on. Your army is not a muddy person. Isn't the son still fighting hard?"
Ji Shihe was about to talk about this, and immediately said: "General Guo, my child's personal soldiers were killed and injured. Let's continue to fight.
But it's gone. I'm really sure that these white-clad and white-armored personal soldiers are not easy to accumulate. They are either from Zongdang or friends who grew up with my son since childhood—"
"They fought well, which made me admire him. There are also people in the southern army who can fight." Guo Song seemed to be unable to understand Ji Shi and his anxious and regretful mood at all, and he actually commented on it in a decent manner.
And just now, the more than one thousand Qiang soldiers on the right wing also fought with the bandit army.
These people were extremely brave and rushed forward and directly shook the enemy's team.
Looking down from the city, the enemy's elite arrows were pushing the Ji family back little by little, and the soldiers behind the arrows were not as capable as fighting. They were immediately unable to stand up when they were rushed by the Qiang soldiers.
Their arrows were still moving forward, and the central army formation that followed the arrows did not stop.
The formation is slightly deformed.
"General Guo!" Ji Shihe Lian was so anxious.
Guo Song suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and his hands were stroked to the hilt of the knife. He finally resisted the urge to cut this person.
Why did the tyrant patriarch of Jiangdong have such virtue? How can one never die in war?
In the Battle of the Madi, the Xiongnu camp was attacked, and one battalion collapsed, and then the next battalion rushed over. Some wounded soldiers were not killed by the enemy, but were trampled to death in the gully by their robes. The bodies were pierced by bamboo sticks and iron thorns. Some people called me one by one. Well, some people might have called me, but no one cared. The hearts of warriors in troubled times had long been hardened.
Ji Shihe was so scared that he took a step back when Guo Song glared.
Guo Song turned around and continued to look at the battlefield.
The Qian family and Sun family on the left wing were in a bad mood and seemed to be unable to support them.
The middle lane is still gritting teeth to support.
The right wing had already penetrated deep into the enemy's central army formation, and was brave enough. The noise of the thieves gradually became louder and the formation disconnection became more serious.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer—
Guo Song recited silently in his heart.
Ji Shihe looked at the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying, and numbly watched his old capital be consumed little by little.
Speechless for a long time.
"That's the moment!" Guo Song slapped the walls and ordered: "The cavalry was dispatched."
At that moment, someone immediately raised the banner of agreement and blew up the horn.
Ji Shihe was shocked and his face turned much more vivid.
The sound of horse hooves came from the bottom of the city tower. After a moment, the first row of cavalry appeared in their eyes, then the second row and the third row.
They skillfully controlled the horses, as if they were part of their bodies. After rushing out of the city gate, more than a hundred cavalrymen in front rushed towards the enemy's left wing, lengthened the formation, and made a wave of volleys.
The sparse arrows fell into the cavalry formation, causing small-scale chaos.
The low Qiang soldiers took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, killing the enemies in front of them, which were shaken by the formation and retreating one after another.
To be continued...
