Chapter 700: Out of the City and Surrendering Troops
It was not difficult for Zhao Yun to send people to widen the river. The credit of the general of the Han family, with the endorsement of Liu Bei and the Son of Heaven, is still very reliable. And it's not just about working for nothing, it's about getting money.
The most important thing is that the construction of water conservancy is welcomed in any dynasty and generation. There are even local people who ask for free work. After all, once the river is dredged, between this ditch, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land can be irrigated, benefiting countless people. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yun proposed this proposal, the people gathered. You can't do it if you don't cultivate!
Well, here Zhao Yun asked the captain to take the people to prepare to control the river, and he received news from the scouts that the soldiers and horses in Yangguan City had moved and seemed to want to leave the city.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. Le Wenqian, Cao Zilian, you are still in a hurry. Zhao Yun said that he wanted to dig the river, naturally there was a purpose. The main thing is to force Cao Jun out of the city to fight him in the field. Yangguan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so don't attack the city first and deceive the enemy. Of course, if Le Jin and Cao Hong are not fooled, they will stay in the city and not come out. He also has a way. Either wait until Yingshui is led to the water, and then the river dries up under Yangguan City. Siege warfare will be waged at that time; Either he left one here to monitor Yangguan City, and then he led most of his troops to bypass this place and attack the rest of Yingchuan.
The heavy troops of Yingchuan County are gathered here, he doesn't believe it, in other parts of Yingchuan, can anyone dare to compete with him? It's not that he Zhao Yun is bragging, this Yuzhou, except for a few of them, there is no one who can fight!
Now that Le Jin and Cao Hong can't sit still, they want to come out to fight him, Zhao Yunna is naturally desperate. Of course, those who repair the river continue to repair the river, and this thing cannot be stopped. Otherwise, the enthusiasm of the people will be stirred up, and you will give them a scoop of cold water, and the people will not be able to finish with you.
Le Jin and Cao Hong want to fight, naturally they can't come out of the nest, otherwise who will guard the old nest Yangguan. If it was in the past, Cao Hong would inevitably compete with Le Jin, thinking of going out to fight Zhao Yun. Now he is much more cautious. When Le Jin looked at Cao Hong, Cao Hong said: "Wen Qian is Yingchuan Shou, and all this matter is naturally headed by Wen Qian." Wen Qian has a life, although he comes. I ought to obey. ”
Lejin was a little surprised at this time. Cao Hong's temperament has changed! He naturally didn't know that after Cao Hong's defeat of Huarong, he almost cut down the sacrificial flag for Cao Ren. Now that Cao Hongqian let it, Le Jin's heart was relieved, and he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, Zilian is convenient for sitting in the city, and let me go and try Zhao Yun's ability." If there is disharmony, I hope that my son will help me. ”
Cao Hong said: "It should be like this. I will have 20,000 people from Nanyang, of which thousands are hundreds of soldiers, this time, Wen Qian might as well lead it. General Zhao Yunyong, not to be underestimated! ”
Le Jin happily obeyed, so he led the crowd out of the city to welcome Zhao Yun.
The drums of war sounded, and Zhao Yun also led his troops out of the camp. After the army exceeds 10,000, this look is overwhelming and there is no end in sight. I only saw a piece of black pressing.
There's no phone or satellite or anything to help with the command. Therefore, the personal qualities of the generals are extremely important. After coming out, Zhao Yun said to the schools behind him: "You and the others will each lead a formation to greet them." I have been playing with the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy. If his army is scattered, the left and right divisions will attack immediately, and they must not be slackened. ”
The lieutenants bowed down to answer the order.
So Zhao Yun went out of the camp with the captains. In war, many times you still need real swords and guns to fight. Although the art of war says that the first army is to attack and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. But how many cases are there of real soldiers who surrender without a fight?
If you can't talk about it, then it's only better than your fist.
The two armies formed a formation and slowly approached. The generals on both sides are not mediocre. So the march is also very careful. Le Jin was high in the camp, and when he saw from a distance that Zhao Yun didn't seem to send cavalry out, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. So he ordered: "Prepare the archers!" ”
Long-range strikes are the favorite thing for the Han people to do. The crossbow array of the pre-Qin dynasty was unrivaled, and the Han Dynasty naturally inherited this fine tradition. Li Ling led 5,000 foot soldiers across the desert, with the car as the array, the arrow was like rain, and the 80,000 Huns suffered heavy casualties but were helpless, which shows the Han Dynasty's use of bows and crossbows.
Lejin wants to carry out remote fire gathering, and Zhao Yun will naturally not be idle. The lookout in the army saw it clearly, so he hurriedly reported. It's almost time for a bow and arrow to kill. So the Han army raised their shields diagonally to block the rain of arrows flying from the opposite side. At the same time, the archers of the Han army also exerted their might.
Activate both sides at the same time, shooting together. There was a terrible scream in the air above the army. Even the drums of war on the ground are difficult to hide. And the warriors on both sides couldn't help but boil their blood and lowered their bodies slightly. Eyes staring ahead. Once the archers stopped, it was their turn to play.
Thinking that a white-knuckle battle is about to begin. Thinking of the wonderful feeling of the blade piercing into the flesh and blood, the veterans couldn't help but shudder. Blood gushed out, enemies fell one by one, and their heads would become their own treasures...... What a wonderful thing that is.
This will teach the common people patriotism and tell them to love their compatriots. This is complete nonsense. So Liu Bei has never done such a stupid thing since he led the troops. He just gave the sergeant excellent treatment, and then emphasized again and again, you must remember whose salary you eat, and who you have to give your life! For the rest, it's basically sheep herding.
Basically, the one who rushes to the front is the bravest, the most ferocious, and the most skillful to kill. As soon as the two armies came into contact, a terrible howl rang out. At that moment, there were countless people holding knives and guns to stab each other. Then the dead died, the wounded wounded.
The bloody gas aroused the ferocity hidden in everyone's bones. Some people were clearly on the ground, but they were still staring and waving knives. Some people were disemboweled, and their intestines came out, but they were still holding spears, and their mouths were foaming with blood, and they wanted to stab them to death.
Human life in troubled times is like grass, and it has been best reflected on this battlefield. Countless people fell, and countless people stepped on the bones of their comrades, awe-inspiring forward, without hesitation.
Zhao Yun and Le Jin turned a blind eye to the corpses and bones on the battlefield. They are generals who have gone through countless wars and then grown up, and their hearts have long been tempered like iron and stone. If you can't stand this casualty, how can you lead the three armies.
Blood gushed from beneath the body. Gathered into a small river, the dead corpses, the arrows scattered all over the place, and the constant sound of drums, showing the world this merciless killing.
The fight with real knives and guns, under the command of Le Jin, is really a little irresistible. Zhao Yun's soldiers were trained by the Qingzhou headquarters and tempered by the Guanliang War. In terms of personal quality, it is necessary to win against Cao Jun. In terms of equipment, not to mention anything else, just the blades, the blades of the Han army are of better quality than those of the Cao army.
Qingzhou is not only in the steel smelting, but also many craftsmen, with the support of sufficient funds, began to study "ergonomics" without a teacher, of course, the craftsmen do not know this lofty name. They are just studying how to make the blade more handy and effortless when it comes to killing.
Therefore, Qingzhou's standard equipment seems to be no different from the equipment of the Cao Army and the Yangzhou Army, but only when you get your hands on it can you know this subtle difference.
So, after the Cao army and the Han army fought for about an hour, they couldn't bear it and began to retreat.
