Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 698: First Battle

Seeing a few people going down noisily again, Feng Yong frowned slightly.

Then he turned to Liu Hun and said: "Polu, servant of Qianghu, you can let him cheer for you, or you can let him chase down the defeated army, but now you only lead two thousand people, and it is a new army."

"As for the servant army, there are more than 3,000 people. Although they will not rebel easily, you must be careful not to let them take on heavy responsibilities."

Liu Hun nodded knowingly: "The general will understand."

Only then did Feng Yong signal Gongsun Zheng to continue.

Then Gongsun Zheng pointed to the upper reaches of Didao on the map, and said: "There is Guguan in the lower reaches of Didao, and Angu County in the upper reaches. These two places are the vital points of Didao."

"General Liu led the army to go to Guguan to prevent Qiang and Hu from fleeing to Liangzhou in the north. One person needs to lead another army to Angu County to prevent Qiang and Hu from fleeing to the south."

"Then the Chinese army pushed forward to Didao, and behind Didao, there were bald men constantly invading the Qianghu's back road. In this way, the Qianghu in the area from Didao to Daxia County became rats in a cage. There is nowhere to escape."

Feng Yong nodded, as he approved the plan of the staff department.

"Advance into Angu County to prevent Qiang Hu from fleeing south, I'm afraid it will bother General Chen."

This is the first time for Chen Shi to participate in this kind of round-table military discussion.

Although he is the prefect of Longxi, with the strength in his hands, it is possible to defend Xiangwu City, but if he wants to march into Di Dao, it is impossible.

Feng Yong came here this time to quell the Qiang chaos in Longxi and take back Di Dao by the way, at least in name to help him.

In addition, Feng Yong was higher than him in terms of official position and title, so although he was not used to the military meeting presided over by Feng Yong, he sat there silently without saying a word.

Hearing Feng Yong talking to him at this moment, he quickly followed Liu Hun's example and stood up: "The last general takes orders."

Finally, Feng Yong looked at Ju Fu and Huo Yi: "General Ju, this time you will lead the Chinese army into Di Dao, General Huo, you will be the deputy general. You will set off again three days after General Liu and General Chen set off. "

Liu Hun and Chen Shi followed an arc, while the Chinese army followed a straight line.

Although Chen Shi led the infantry, the Angu County he went to was much closer than the Guguan where Liu Hun went, so the two set off at the same time.

Huo Yi led the Modao team this time, and half of them were recruits and veterans.

Zhang Ni stayed behind in Pingxiang, just in case.

Everyone got the task and went down to prepare separately.

Only Chen Shi looked relaxed when he saw Feng Yong's arrangement. He seemed to be a little disapproving of this march, and he was a little worried.

He intentionally walked at the end, and after everyone dispersed, he asked Feng Yong: "I heard the meaning of the Lord, it seems that you don't want to visit Di Dao in person this time?"

Feng Yong shook his head and smiled lightly: "This time I have all the soldiers belonging to the Hu Qiang Colonel, there are 5,000 people, plus 3,000 servants, and the army led by General Chen, there are more than 10,000 people in total."

"There are 4,000 fine cavalry from the bald-haired tribe in the west to help, and the Longxi Qianghu is nothing more than a clown's ear. Even if there are 30,000 to 40,000 people, what is there to be afraid of?"

When Chen Shi heard this, he had some hesitation on his face.

"General Chen, what do you want to tell me?"

Feng Yong felt a little strange when he saw his expression.

"Back to the Lord, the last general is not worried about the Qiang Hu in Longxi, but the Cao bandits in Liangzhou in the west. Although old General Zhao is putting pressure on Nan'an, I'm just afraid of what happens!"

Compared with the evaluation of Feng Yongnian by the world, Chen Shi doesn't have too bright talent, he is just a traditional general.

Loyal to duty, obeying orders, and at the same time giving opinions within their own responsibilities.

"If the prince doesn't come to Di Dao to preside over the overall situation, what if the Cao bandits from Liangzhou enter Longxi?"

Hearing Chen Shi's words, Feng Yong smiled immediately: "General Chen, I'm not going to Di Dao in person, just to avoid provoking the Cao bandits and making them feel that we have no intention of entering Liangzhou this time."

"Otherwise," Feng Yong said here, pointing to himself, "If it were you, and heard that I personally led more than ten thousand people from Didao West, what would you do?"

It's not that Feng Yong boasted that he became famous for his World War I, and at the same time he took the important position of protecting Captain Qiang.

It can be said that in Longyou, besides Mr. Zhao, he is actually the most important.

Now that Mr. Zhao is inspecting Nan'an, he wants to lead his troops to visit Di Dao in person, and the two powerful figures in Longyou will visit the important places in Liangzhou. Who would believe it if they said they came to see the scenery?

It is true that the generals on the opposite side of the Yellow River in Liangzhou probably have to sleep well every night.

Therefore, in order to avoid irritating Cao thief too much and making them react too much, Feng Yong did not plan to go to Didao himself.

Only then did Chen Shi understand, and suddenly said: "So that's the case, it's because the general didn't think carefully."

Feng Yong looked at this loyal general and smiled slightly.

"Also, there are now more than 100,000 Qianghu in Longxi. Apart from the fact that the Fanghan area has always been the gathering place for Qianghu, because of the severe drought in Liangzhou last year, many tribes flocked to Dahe and Taoshui."

"In this battle, although they can be wiped out, it will only make the bald-haired family dominate. Xianbei Hu people have always been brave, and they must not be allowed to grow stronger."

"General Chen is the prefect of Longxi, this must be remembered. When the time comes to capture and kill the Qiang Hu, it is not necessary to kill them all, but to drive some of them to the west."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up when he heard Feng Yong's words.

At the same time, I was amazed in my heart: Feng Junhou is so young, he is highly regarded by the prime minister, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He really has real skills.

Feng Yong walked to the map and clicked on Daxia County, "This time, we only reach Daxia County as far as we can. I have already told Jufu about this."

"I promised to let the Bald Hair Division graze in the area of ​​Fanghan. If we let some Qianghu flee back to Heguan, then we won't have to face the Cao bandits in other places in Longxi except the north of Taoshui."

"At that time, if the Bald Hair Department wants to gain a foothold in Fanghan, it will have to compete with the Qiang Hu in Heguan. The two Hus can fight to the death, which is the best."

"However, in my opinion, the bald-haired department must be stronger than Heguan Qianghu, and I don't want to easily bow down to the bald-haired department."

If they were willing to submit to others, then this tribe would not prefer to leave their homeland, trek across mountains and rivers, and find new pastures.

"So they will definitely try their best to annex the Qianghu in Heguan in order to strengthen their tribe."

Speaking of this, the corners of Feng Yong's mouth twitched slightly, "Then they will directly face the Cao thief in Hexi."

First, he helped the big man to pacify Longxi, and then he did business with the big man, and got huge benefits, as well as the big man's food support for them.

If Cao Wei dared to trust them like before, then there would be ghosts.

And for the bald-haired department, Cao Wei, who only cares about recruiting them, but is unwilling to give them a grain of food during the food shortage season, is not a good thing.

The two sides don't like each other, and they look at each other across the Yellow River, in case something sparks someday...

Thinking of this, Ghost King Feng chuckled: "It's not impossible for the bald-haired department to graze in Fanghan, but you have to pay something, right?"

Even if someone in the bald hair department can see through their own arrangements and forcibly hold back from annexing the Qianghu of Heguan, how can the Qianghu of Heguan let them go easily?

After hearing Feng Yong's plan, Chen Shi suddenly felt a little pitiful for the bald department.

At that time, they will have big men in the east and Cao thieves in the west, not to mention the right and left, how to choose will be a big problem.

Looking at the handsome young prince in front of him, Chen Shi sincerely admired: "The prince's plan is really far-reaching! In this way, the bald department will probably be used by the big man sooner or later."

Feng Yong smiled slightly: "The bald people are rebellious, so let's deal with him slowly. One day, they will understand what is the best way out for them."

Then he said seriously to Chen Shi: "General Chen, you are the prefect of Longxi, and I will need your cooperation in my plans for the Bald Hair Division."

"If this battle goes well, I will send people to Yanhan later to teach the bald-haired department how to farm and raise livestock. There are some things that you need to mediate at that time."

Chen Shi clasped his fists together, and said in a sincerely convinced way: "The general will understand."

In February in Longxi, the temperature has begun to warm up in an all-round way.

Taking Shouyang as the starting point, the Han army divided into three groups, like outstretched arms, ready to surround Didao's Qianghu in his arms.

Two days later, Liu Hun first led 5,000 cavalry troops to the north, followed by Chen Shi who led 3,000 troops to the south.

Ju Fu waited for three full days before starting to press towards Didao.

Liu Hun is all cavalry, the fastest.

When the flag of the Han army appeared on the opposite bank of Guguan, it caused a commotion among Qianghu in Guguan.

The so-called Guguan, as the name suggests, used to be a pass for crossing Taoshui.

It's just that it's spring when the ice and snow melt, and the spring flood in Taoshui. Although the water flow is not as rainy as in late spring and early summer, it is not small.

Liu Hun took off his boots himself and waded into the water. Before halfway through, he felt that the running water was extremely cold.

At this time, sparse arrow feathers suddenly shot out from the opposite side, and then fell into the water in front of them, and were washed away by the current.

Liu Hun's expression remained unchanged, and he turned and walked back to the shore.

Wipe off the water stains, put on the boots again, and then said: "The water is not too deep, but the water is very cold, and coupled with the obstacles of the barbarians opposite, it may not be easy to get through."

The general looked behind and said in a low voice: "General, why don't you let those barbarians explore the way first?"

Knowing what he meant, Liu Hun shook his head, "It's not right. This is the first battle. If you let the Hu people cross the water at this time, you will definitely lose. Not only is it not good for the morale of the army, but it is also easy to lose the hearts of the Hu people."

The general was a little unwilling, "Should we let our people go first?"

Liu Hun shook his head again: "Our cavalry pawns were only drawn from the Hu tribe and trained for one winter. If they are defeated, the morale of the army will easily collapse."

"Then what should we do?" The general thought to himself that neither this nor that would work. Could it be that he just stared at him here?

Liu Hun was not in a hurry.

He first ordered the army to set up camp, pretending that they did not want to cross the river for the time being.

On the second day, the Han army began to build rivers and dig dams on the edge of Taoshui, as if they were planning to catch some fish and shrimp.

This continued for several days, causing Qiang Hu on the opposite side to change from being nervous at the beginning to laughing like watching a play.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the ground began to vibrate, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

A black line emerges from the lower reaches of Taoshui.

"Enemy attack!"

The sharp-eyed Qiang Hu screamed when he saw the flag of the Han army.

Qianghu in Guguan was in chaos.

"How did they appear from there?"

Someone asked with a pale face.

Qu Shuai, who was the first to react, immediately gathered his tribal warriors, ready to go up and try to stop the Han army.

The general who led the people fishing across the Taoshui River noticed the commotion in Guguan, tensed up all of a sudden, stood up straight, and looked closely to the south.

Sure enough, after a while, black smoke came out from the south.

He jumped up immediately: "The general has succeeded! Quick, quick, meet the general and prepare to cross the river!"

The sound of hooting horns sounded soon.

Hu Ren Qu Shuai, who had received the order a long time ago, ran into the tent camp, his trouser legs were still wet, and shouted to them: "Assemble, assemble, prepare to cross the river!"

Just as the servant army on the east side of Taoshui was preparing to cross the river in a hurry, the two sides on the west side had already started the first wave of contact.

Seeing that there are still people in Guguan who dare to come out to fight under such circumstances, Liu Hun immediately issued a military order.

The newly formed cavalry army of the Han army began to slow down the horse speed, and at the same time began to draw out the arrow feathers, and drew the bow when the horse speed stopped completely.

At the same time, a cavalry army was separated from the right wing and went around to the enemy's flank.

What Qiang Hu, who was about to meet the enemy, did not expect was that the cavalry of the Han army in front of them shot the first wave and began to charge.

The lethality of the real arrow feathers actually comes from the side.

When the cavalry of the Han army on the flanks did not slow down significantly, they shot a wave of arrow feathers, causing the unsuspecting Qianghu to knock down many people at once.

"It's impossible!" Qiang Hu Qushuai was stunned to see this scene, "Condor archers, why, why are there so many eagle archers?"

Before he could appease the chaos caused by the flank attack, the cavalry of the Han army who charged forward had already arrived in front of him.

The cavalry of the Han army rushed into Qianghu's army with shining sabers.

Unlike the Wei cavalry army encountered before, this Han army, which also seems to be mainly composed of Qianghu, seems to be extremely flexible.

It's as if they are connected with the horses, they don't need to fix their bodies specially, and they can even make all kinds of unimaginable movements on the horse.

In addition, the knives in their hands seemed to be different, not only extremely sharp, but also very convenient to wield.

Hundreds of Qianghu rebels who had assembled hastily collapsed under the blitz of the Han army before they could understand what was going on.

Even the leader Qu Shuai didn't know when his head was beheaded.

Qiang Hu, who had no authority and unified command, showed a fatal flaw under the surprise attack.

Some people want to continue to intercept the Han army coming from downstream, while others want to stop the servant army who is about to cross to the west.

The situation became more and more chaotic.

"Defend the city! Defend the city first!"

Finally someone stood up and spoke up.

It's just that the proposal doesn't work at all.

The short and dilapidated earthen walls could not stop the Han army at all.

After the new cavalry defeated the first batch of rebels who dared to block them, they began to clean up the remaining soldiers in an orderly manner like a pack of wolves.

At the same time, drive the broken soldiers who want to escape into the encirclement.

"hurry up!"

The generals of the Han army in the east didn't know the situation on the other side, so they were already anxious to whip people with horsewhips.

The deepest part of the ferry here is below the thigh, and part of the river water is formed by melting ice and snow. Standing on the shore, I don't feel it, but it's really cold in the water.

Many people thought it was inconvenient to ride on a horse, but when they got into the water, they realized that they couldn't make it halfway, and they were shivering from the cold.

Fortunately, because of the surprise attack on the other side, there was no way to organize a defense under the chaos.

Seeing this situation, even Qu Shuai of the servant army couldn't hold back. If he had such a good opportunity, if he didn't cross the river quickly, he might not even be able to drink the soup if he slowed down.

So they began to imitate the generals of the Han army: "Quick, quick! They are finished, we can catch people in the past!"

"If you catch someone, you can eat meat!"

When people are caught, there will be spirits, tea, and food...

Everything is there!

"Maobu! As long as you catch enough people, I will reward your family with woolen cloth and food!"

Youqu Shuai's eyes are already red with anxiety.

After hearing this, the people below jumped into the water one after another.

It doesn't matter whether the cloth is wool or not, the important thing is that you don't have to freeze in the winter at home!
