Chapter 275: Out of the City Field Battle
In the hall of the Zhen clan, the Zhao warriors rushed in, showed their blades, and surrounded the elders of the Zhen clan who were gathering for public discussion, and the originally spacious hall suddenly became narrow. :3w.しWxs520.CoM
"Didn't the brigade commander say that he would not send troops into our clan, and he would not commit any crimes? Why break your promise! ”
Zhen Zhongxun's face was pale, and he could see that people had bad intentions.
"Now is an extraordinary time, when doing extraordinary things, the brigade commander just has something to ask everyone from the Zhen family to go to the Yi Temple to talk about it." Behind Tian Ben, the evil-looking Feng Rin probed in, said such a thing, and then glanced at Zhen Jin's father, who was shrinking behind the crowd, and secretly had a plan.
With a smile, he beckoned to the former Yi gatekeeper and said, "Corporal Zhen, thank you for informing us of the Zhen clan's movements, come with me, the brigade commander will be rewarded!" ”
Zhen Zhongxun's eyes stared at the little sect's disciple Zhen Jin's father incredulously, and the elders also turned their heads and glared at him, sure that he had betrayed today's public discussion.
Zhen Jian's father couldn't wash himself when he jumped into the water this time, he wanted to argue, but the patriarch and the elders had been escorted out of the house one by one by Tian Ben, but he was stopped by Feng Rin.
"Feng Rin, what kind of grudge do I have against you? Slander me like this! He cried and mourned, feeling that the future was bleak, and the fate of traitors was often extremely miserable, and Zhen Yi had no place for him to stand from now on.
Feng Rin said with a smile: "Corporal Zhen, now that you have been hated by the clan, if we occupy Zhenyi for a day, you and your family will be safe, if we leave this place, you will be pointed out by the clan in the blink of an eye and killed in the city!" Now you have no other way out but to take refuge in the brigade commander and be the loyal dog of the brigade commander. ”
Zhen Jin's father's face was distorted, and his heart was turning, and finally he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Feng Rin hooked up with him as if he had been a friend for many years and said: "It's very simple, pick out the obedient Zhen clan soldiers, and help us maintain order in the city when the brigade commander leads the army out of the city." ”
……
Dr. Liqiu's name is Uya Brigade. It was the grandson of Wu Yu, a doctor of Qi who once took the leader to join Jin because of the rebellion of Cui Qing when he was in the Ping Dynasty. After Qingfeng went south to Wu State, Wuyu returned to Qi State. He pledged his allegiance to the Marquis of Qi and continued to be a doctor of Qi. and served as the "Asian Brigade", so he happily gave his newborn grandson this name.
The Wuya Brigade is over thirty years old, it is the age of shrewdness and ability, his Xiaqiu City and Lu Wei's border towns are staggered and complex, and it is the forefront of Qi's westward and southward expansion, so there are many garrisons, there are two thousand people, and the combat effectiveness is not weak. And field warfare is stronger than defending cities.
In April this year, Lu Hou, at the instigation of Yang Hu, personally commanded the army to attack Qi and attack Xiaqiu, wanting to uproot this city fortress wedged into the west of Lu State. The Wuya Brigade asked people to set fire to the attacking vehicles of the Lu people rushing into the city, but the Lu soldiers took off their linen clothes and dipped them in water to extinguish the fire, and they broke through the outer Guo.
So the Wuya Brigade and Yi Sima led the army to fight, the Lu army was weak-willed, and it was defeated in one blow, and the Qi people won the victory, and the Wuya Brigade was also rewarded by the Chen family in the letter to the Marquis of Qi. Increased his fiefdom in Donglai.
The Wuya Brigade was satisfied, so they prepared their ordnance and waited for the Qi State to counterattack the Lu people. He was eager to capture Gaojiao or Yuncheng as his new fiefdom. However, because of the power struggle within the Qi State, the Chen family, who was befriended by the Wuya Brigade, once again misplaced the position of the commander, but it was Shangqing Guoxia and Gao Zhang who led the army.
So the people of the Wuya Brigade were pulled aside and became a reserve, Guoxia only needed him to provide food and straw, but the Wuya Brigade was depressed, but there was new news from the west, saying that a presumptuous Jin army had occupied Zhenyi, which was defending the country!
Zhenyi is only more than fifty miles away from Liqiu, and it can be reached in two days, and the Jin army is said to have only more than 500 people. If you can help your allies defend the country and recapture Zhenyi. It can be regarded as a credit, even if Wei Hou does not give him this thousand-room city. You can also get some benefits from the rich land of Pubei.
Since Guoxia did not let him go east, the Uya Brigade decided to go west. The patriots in Zhenyi must be dissatisfied, and it should not be difficult to break the city under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, and by the time Guoxia reacts, he has already won the victory.
The military system of the Qi State is different from that of the Jin State, with 5 people in the team and the commander of the track; 50 people are Xiaorong, and there is a division commander; 200 men, led by the company commander; 2,000 people are the brigade, the township is under the command, the 10,000 people are the first army, and the commander of the five townships is in charge.
The military position of the Wuya Brigade is the Xiangliang, and there is a full brigade under it, and the bulky siege equipment left by the Lu people just two months ago is still there, so the Wuya Brigade left 500 people to guard the hill, and he personally led 1,500 people to slowly march west with the wooden ladder of the siege car.
They stayed in Qingshan overnight, and were warmly received by the local guards, and learned that the Jin people who occupied Zhenyi had been shrinking into the city, probably because of the lack of manpower, and they were afraid of the dangerous terrain of Qingshan, so they only sent people to spy and did not dare to attack Qingshan.
The Wuya Brigade was even more relieved, and after being joined by dozens of Qingshan Township Guards, it accelerated forward on the second day. In the afternoon, I saw the wall of Zhenyi in the distance. However, a few miles outside the city wall, on the Pubei Plain, a horse and a flat river, an enemy army was found sitting in formation, and the other party also discovered them, and then a black bird flag with a white background and black stripes was erected high.
When the hundreds of soldiers changed from sitting in formation to standing formation, the Wuya Brigade who were wiping the car and overlooking it reacted.
"Jin people are going to fight with me in the field!"
……
The patriarchs and elders of the Zhen clan stood tremblingly on the wall, they were warmly "received" to the Yi Temple by Zhao Wuxian last night, and today they were picked up to the east wall, and together with the Sima chiefs of Zhen Yi, they were watched by the soldiers.
Zhang Zimei, who behaved elegantly and gently, asked them to watch the battle and witness the soldiers repelling the "Qi Kou" who came to invade Zhendi, but in fact they were taken hostage, so that the entire Zhen clan and even the people in the city would not dare to act rashly.
Zhang Mengtan was appointed by Zhao Wuxian as the fake governor of Yi, and the soldiers went out of the city to fight, and the safety of the whole city was handed over to him, which was not a light responsibility.
There were originally 700 soldiers in the whole city, but now 500 have been pulled out, and only 100 crossbowmen and baggage soldiers are left, and the crossbowmen are divided into four pairs by Zhang Mengtan to guard the four gates, and the crossbow arrows have been wound, but they are not aimed at the outside of the wall, but they are aimed at the passage in the city.
As for the Yi Temple, which was not in danger to defend, Zhang Mengtan directly chose to give up, and the streets and alleys were only barely maintained by Zhen Jin's father, who had no way out, and his family members who were also detained. Although Zhenyi seems to be calm now, it is actually full of dangers. Cheng Feng Rin and the other 100 heavy soldiers and auxiliary soldiers also issued weapons one by one, standing vigilantly on the wall, observing every move in the city.
Zhang Mengtan also hung a sword on his waist today, and a few 200 people scattered it on the wall that was several miles long, looking sparse, as if he could break through from the inside with a casual blow.
He paced above the wall and said to everyone: "The brigade commander goes out of the city to defend the enemy, and this small city is left to us to defend, compared to the enemy who is three times the enemy with five hundred people, our share is only an easy task, the second and third sons perform their duties, do not let the internal strife in the city, let the brigade commander be distracted!" ”
He thought in his heart, if Zhao Wuxian outside the city lost the field battle, at that time, the guards who had been suppressed for a long time were likely to take the opportunity to cause chaos, and it would be extremely difficult to enter the city to defend again.
Therefore, this battle must be won, otherwise, their exile force will be suspended!
"It's coming!" At this moment, Feng Rin, who had been looking forward to it, shouted.
Zhang Mengtan turned around when he heard this, only to see a few black shadows at the end of Tu Dao a few miles away in the distance, which were Qi chariots swaggering along Tu Dao, followed by footmen who couldn't see the end at a glance.
……
Until they met the Jin people in the distance from a distance of two miles in vain, the Wuya Brigade of the Doctor of Liqiu couldn't believe that the other party dared to lead troops out of the city to fight with him.
From Qingshan to Zhenyi Yima Pingchuan, there was no place to set up an ambush from Tu Dao, so the Wuya Brigade didn't care, so it let 1,500 people form a half-mile column and march slowly, with the armor in front, and the baggage and siege equipment in the back by the apprentices or pushed or pulled.
It wasn't until the other party was only two miles away from him that the Uya Brigade realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly issued an order in his mouth: "Quickly let the whole army assemble in front and spread out in place!" ”
There were chaotic footsteps and shouts behind him, and after standing on the chariot and carefully counting the number of opponents, the Uya brigade was relieved again. The Jin people did only have a brigade of people, and there were more than ten single horsemen who had been cruising around and observing their movements half a mile away, and from time to time someone rushed back to deliver the news.
The Wuya Brigade pointed to the faintly visible Xuanniao Banner on the opposite side, and said contemptuously to the subordinates on the side: "It's ridiculous, the people of the First Brigade dare to stop me, my soldiers are all veterans who have seen battles, and everyone has been conscripted several times. In the Battle of Liqiu two months ago, he also defeated Lu Shi twice as much as himself in a field battle, why would he be afraid of him? They want to fight, just what I want! ”
He asked the apprentices in the rear to leave behind the baggage and siege equipment, and quickly came forward with weapons to line up.
"Where the method of using soldiers, the people of the three armies, there will be a change of division and combination, and we are divided into three commonly used left, middle and right formations to resist the enemy!"
Because they brought 500 armor soldiers and 1,000 soldiers, the Uya Brigade divided the army into three parts according to the Qi tradition: ten chariots and 300 armor soldiers, 100 soldiers with 100 armor, 100 archers in the center, 100 shield-wielding soldiers and 300 poorly armed soldiers, and 100 archers on the two wings.
"The enemy is small in number, and it is located in the territory of the enemy country, without any assistance, although it is fighting in the field, it is inevitable that it is worried about Zhenyi, and under the fear of the crowd, it will definitely be scattered and chaotic. After forming a formation for a while, he will push it over directly, and after defeating his generation, he will take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and he will definitely be able to go down with one blow! ”
It takes time to line up, and after encountering the enemy halfway, although the Wuya Brigade is full of confidence, the Qi soldiers are still a little flustered.
The Qi people's light car scouts could not be dispatched because they were harassed by the rangers, so it was too late to spot them with the naked eye, and the place where they stopped was not good, and the pawns spread out and just lay across a vast field of bushes and deep grass. The fragmented terrain once again made it difficult for them to assemble, and they had to advance dozens of steps forward or left and right to realign their formations, leaving a lot of gaps between them, but the Uya Brigade did not care.
Just when the array of the Qi people was about to be completed, the Zhao Wuxian warriors on the opposite side had already started slowly, different from the defensive counterattack of the Battle of Jianjin, this time, they decided to take the initiative to attack! (To be continued)
