Volume 3 Chapter 234 The Fight Begins (6)

The forces attacking Jinzhou City were Lu Lingqi's 3,000 elite cavalry and Chen Gong's 5,000 heavy infantry, totaling 8,000 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and it is these 8,000 troops, at this time, they have fought a crushing battle against the 60,000 tribal coalition troops outside Jinzhou City.

And it's not just crushing, it's even evolving into devouring. What is this so-called devouring...... When Lu Lingqi's 3,000 elite cavalry swept through the coalition camp like a storm, they had already begun to set fire to it, and when Chen Gong led 5,000 heavy infantry to pass by in an infantry phalanx, he would also use rockets and explosive arrows to make up for the places that Lu Lingqi had missed. As a result, the camp of the Tri-Clan Alliance became full of fire, and then the fire was mercilessly devouring the camp of the Tri-Clan Alliance.

First crushed, then devoured, and the coalition camp was already in chaos. In fact, with the advantage of the light cavalry and fast horses of the alliance of the three clans, after temporarily avoiding the troops of Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong, he regrouped his posture, and then surrounded Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong in all directions with the advantage of his own troops.

But don't forget, the command system of the Three Clans Alliance is a bit chaotic, and this drawback is still obvious when encountering emergencies; On the other hand, they encountered an old fritter like Chen Gong, and they set fire to it as soon as they started, and they prevented the gathering of troops of the alliance of the three clans by virtue of the fire. And if the troops can't be assembled, what kind of counterattack can we talk about?

Of course, the superiority of the forces of the Three Clans is undeniable. The 8,000 attacking in Jinzhou against the 60,000 of the three-clan alliance army are almost 1 to 8 in terms of strength, and you can't deny that there are still some smart people in the three-clan alliance army, and these smart people are now temporarily avoiding the points pointed by Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong's soldiers, and at the same time trying their best to start gathering panicked warriors, so that they really gathered a lot of people for these smart people. With the ferocious habits of these steppe nomadic tribes, if these people were relieved and attacked from the flanks of Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong would also be in trouble.

But at this time, there was a heavy rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the east of Jinzhou, judging from the thickness of the horses' hooves alone, it must be said that tens of thousands of cavalry were killing here. After a while, when the owners of these heavy horses' hooves appeared in the field of vision of the Three Clans Alliance, the Three Clans Alliance Army was really panicked, because what they saw was about 30,000 cavalry troops, and these 30,000 cavalry troops were obviously not from their Three Clans Alliance.

Well, this is the "militia" of western Liaoning who arrived under the city of Jinzhou to participate in the battle. As I said before, Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying can now gather as many as 60,000 "militias" in western Liaoxi, and in the early stage of the campaign, these 60,000 "militias" were temporarily hidden. Now that the decisive battle has begun, these 60,000 "militiamen" have naturally thrown themselves into the battle, and Jinzhou City and Chrysanthemum Port have each 30,000.

Lu Lingqi's 3,000, plus Chen Gong's 5,000, and then adding these 30,000 "militia", the strength of Jinzhou suddenly skyrocketed to nearly 40,000. 40,000 against 60,000, the disadvantage of Jinzhou's forces is not so obvious. Then again, if Chen Gong didn't hold such a hole card in his hand, with only more than 10,000 troops in Jinzhou, how would he dare to play any "gathering and annihilation" against the three ethnic coalition forces?

The arrival of 30,000 "militiamen" immediately turned the situation on the battlefield into a devastating one. And the little troops that were finally gathered in the alliance of the three clans were all scattered by the "militia" almost instantly. Looking at these "militiamen" again, they are called fierce on the battlefield, as if there is a deep hatred between the alliance of the three clans and the "militia......

Oh yes, speaking of which, there is really a feud between the alliance of the three ethnic groups and the "militia" in western Liaoning. As mentioned earlier, one of the purposes of the alliance of the three ethnic groups to come to Liaoxi was to make a fortune, so after entering the Liaoxi region, they began to burn and loot on a large scale. And the people in the western Liaoning region, under the deliberate arrangement of Lu Ren and Chen Gong, deliberately left this year's autumn grain in the western Liaoning region to the three ethnic coalition forces.

It's just that Lu Ren and Chen Gong's methods are very secretive, and the "militia" only knows that Lu Ren and Chen Gong made this decision to protect their families, and they don't know the deep intentions of Lu Ren and Chen Gong, so the vast majority of the "militia" obeyed the order and gave priority to protecting the departure of their family members.

However, there will always be some people who are reluctant to harvest in the field, and think that the enemy who is coming is the same clan as themselves, and they will not attack them. But really wait until the enemy comes...... Well, the end is needless to say.

Lu Ren himself deliberately wanted to provoke contradictions and hostility within these nomadic tribes, so after some such things happened, Lu Ren immediately began to hype them up. Don't say that Lu Ren is despicable, if he doesn't know how to play these things in that era, he won't be able to mix up tricks. And after that news spread among the militia, the militiamen ...... No, it's the nomadic tribes that are attached to Lu Ren are all on fire.

Are nomadic tribes really all bandits? You can't say that. At least Lu Ren, a modern person, agrees with the analysis made by historians, that is, nomadic tribes are also human beings, and they also want to live a life of peace and prosperity, and do not want to fight those endless wars. In the final analysis, the endless wars between the Central Plains of China and the northern nomads are nothing more than problems in the economic system and cultural exchanges.

Of course, it is unrealistic for you to ask Lu Ren to solve these problems, but Lu Ren can at least make some relevant adjustments in his own territory, which is the case in Liaoxi and Liaodong. For many years in western Liaoning, the nomadic tribes attached to Lu Ren have received good economic and cultural exchanges, not to mention that they have a very nourishing life, so they are also happy to surrender to Lu Ren.

Even if they weren't very convinced of Lu Ren, they couldn't fake the comfortable little life they had lived in Liaoxi over the years. Now that the coalition forces have come to invade and ruined their comfortable little life, and killed their family members, what kind of mentality will these tough people have?

All in all, they are all suffocated, so after they get started, they won't have the slightest affection at all. Don't it, what are you talking to Lao Tzu at this time, you are robbing Lao Tzu's things, why don't you want to think about these when you kill Lao Tzu's family?

Soon, 30,000 "militiamen" merged with Lu Lingqi, and then under the leadership of Lu Lingqi, nearly 40,000 troops were like a huge broom, sweeping the three ethnic coalition forces to pieces. And the scattered forces of the three clans are scattered like dust swept up by a broom.

In the blink of an eye, it had already fought from Pingming to the middle of the day, and the Jinzhou attack troops led by Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong had already circled the city. But seeing that the vanguard troops at this time, that is, the elite cavalry corps led by Lu Lingqi, up to Lu Lingqi and down to the ordinary war horses, they were already covered in blood one by one, and the incendiary bombs or something had already been thrown away.

The battle has been fought for a morning, and it would be a lie to say that he is not tired, at least Lu Lingqi can not be considered rough now. Glancing around at the elite cavalry under his command who was returning to the queue, and then at the battlefield in front of him, Lu Lingqi smiled proudly, and said softly: "Father, my daughter didn't disgrace you, did she?" The daughter of Wen Hou in the past has now inherited her father's martial arts and is invincible on the battlefield! ”

When she thinks of Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi will still feel a little gloomy in her heart. But the gloom dissipated in an instant. The next moment, Lu Lingqi took a deep breath, saw that the men and horses under her command were basically in place, and pointed the halberd in her hand to the side of the coalition army:

"Kill!"

There's really nothing to say about the battle at this point. In fact, the battles of those years were often like this, and the various competitions before the decisive battle may often take a lot of time, but when the decisive battle is fought, it is likely to be fought in one day, and all that remains is nothing more than to wipe out the remnants of the enemy or clean up the battlefield and the like.

Take the battle of Guandu as an example, Lao Cao and Yuan Shao have been fighting for more than half a year, and the messy tricks can be said to be endless, but when the black nest was burned and Cao Lao launched a decisive battle again, Yuan Shao lost all his gambling capital of more than 100,000 horses in just a few days?

The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling are similar, they both took more than half a year before the decisive battle, and then when the decisive battle passed, the fire was almost over. And the current battle of Jinzhou is also like this, after a decisive battle, more than 60,000 three-clan coalition troops were defeated, and the casualty figure was too high. Finally, these guys still have some brains, and when they see that the situation is not good, they begin to flee on a large scale to the north. In fact, it was quite convenient for them to escape, after all, they had planned to return to the desert land north if they couldn't defeat Jinzhou.

It doesn't matter who leads the way, anyway, there are tens of thousands of three-clan alliance troops desperately running north. Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong seized the time to make relevant adjustments and divided the troops in their hands into three parts.

The first part is that Chen Gong left 10,000 people in his hands to continue to guard Jinzhou, and at the same time clean up the Jinzhou battlefield; the second part is that Lu Lingqi led 20,000 cavalry to the north to pursue the fleeing three-clan coalition army; The third part is that the remaining more than 10,000 men and horses go south to reinforce Chrysanthemum Harbor, and when they get there, they just obey the command of Chrysanthemum Harbor.

At this time, the battle situation of Chrysanthemum Port and Jinzhou City can be said to be much the same, you must know that the decisive battle of Jinzhou City and the decisive battle of Chrysanthemum Port were fought at the same time, and due to the geographical location of Chrysanthemum Port, Lu Ren is actually much stronger than Jinzhou City in terms of the number of generals and troops. For example, the only characters in Jinzhou City are Chen Gong and Lu Lingqi, but in addition to Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying in Jinzhou, there are also characters like Deng Ai, Zhou Yu, and Sun Shangxiang. In terms of troops, Deng Ai himself has 8,000 people, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang brought 5,000, and they alone have 13,000, and then counting the 10,000 and 30,000 militias inherent in Chrysanthemum Harbor, the actual strength of Chrysanthemum Harbor exceeds 50,000, which is roughly the same as the number of troops of the three ethnic coalition forces that came to Chrysanthemum Harbor.

And who are Zhou Yu and Deng Aina? With these two goods teaming up to go to the pit Chrysanthemum Harbor, the people who are pitted will only lose their temper by the pit. Therefore, in fact, the battle of Chrysanthemum Port ended an hour earlier than Jinzhou City, so the more than 10,000 reinforcements sent by Chen Gong to Chrysanthemum Port were not so much reinforcements as the interception troops of the fleeing enemy army in Chrysanthemum Harbor.

The distance between Chrysanthemum Port and Jinzhou City is not far, and the straight-line distance is actually less than 80 kilometers. Moreover, this is the Liaodong Plain, and the terrain is flat, which is suitable for cavalry attacks. Therefore, it is also necessary for Chen Gong to send troops in the direction of Jinzhou to intercept the enemy army.

It is precisely because of this that the 80-kilometer road between Chrysanthemum Port and Jinzhou has become the road of death of the three-ethnic coalition army in Chrysanthemum Port at this time, which is really "there are heavy soldiers in front and chasing soldiers in the back", the original nearly 60,000 men and horses were killed and bloodied, and the very few people who could escape with their lives can only say that they are lucky and lucky.

At this point, I have to say that Chen Gong's battle plan this time is to be divided into two parts, that is, the Jinzhou Department and the Chrysanthemum Port Department. And Chen Gong's purpose is to fight a battle of encirclement and annihilation as much as possible, if hundreds of thousands of three clan coalition troops are crowded together, it is not so easy to encircle and annihilate. Besides, the other party is all cavalry, if they really scatter and flee, but let Chen Gong chase them?

So why did Chen Gong advise Lu Ren to give up Liaoxi's income this autumn? It is to use this money and grain to hook the three-ethnic coalition army, and at the same time hook the three-ethnic coalition army, use the two "key units" of Jinzhou City and Chrysanthemum Port to disperse the strength of the three-ethnic coalition army. In terms of the geographical location and transportation conditions of these two "key units", Chrysanthemum Port is more convenient for Lu Ren to gather troops. Moreover, as long as there is no accident in the battle in Jinzhou City, the enemy in Chrysanthemum Harbor can be intercepted and the enemy's living force can be killed and injured to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the Chrysanthemum Harbor side is the main area for destroying the enemy in this battle. On the other hand, Lu Ren and Chen Gong both understood that their hearts should not be too greedy and their appetites should not be too big, so for the enemies who were relatively easy to escape from in Jinzhou, Lu Ren and Chen Gong adopted an attitude of eating them if they could, and if they couldn't eat them or if they were too troublesome to eat, they should not be too forceful.

But for the enemies of Chrysanthemum Harbor, Lu Ren said that he must eat them all. Even if you don't eat so cleanly, you will spit out a few bones, and you have to make braised pork ribs.

You must know that the alliance army of the three clans has divided half of its strength, and nearly 60,000 men and horses have come to Chrysanthemum Port. If such a force is eliminated, the three clans in the desert plain will lose half of their living force, so for the stability of Liaoxi, although it is still not as good as completely annihilating the enemy, the overall effect is not much worse.

For Lu Ren, the difficulty of total annihilation is a bit high, and if you don't grasp it well, it will likely affect the entire battle situation. Then at this time, it is "a hundred birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand". After taking a fat bird first to ensure a big result, then gradually expand the result. In a word, Lu Ren may not be able to do anything else, but this guy is acting with the word "stability......
