Chapter 418: Baiyue Marches (I)

The Central Plains staged a drama of peaks and loops, and the south was also undulating.

Ouyue, Minyue, and Nanyue, the three Baiyue tribal alliances spent nearly 20 days to gather 200,000 people, first meeting in Linxiang, the capital of Changsha, and then spending another three days to distribute the whole team, and then it took a mighty journey along the Xiangshui all the way to the north.

The scout sent the news of the Baiyue Alliance's troops back to Luo County, and Sima Xin, who had initially strengthened the fortifications, was happy to hear it, he had received the news of the transit in Nanling, Luo Shao led 150,000 people into the boundary of Cangwu County, and according to the forest road opened up when he went, he would be able to return to Lingling in about a month.

To tell the truth, the reason why Luo County did not increase the number of troops and maintain the strength of 50,000 was not to make the Baiyue people not so afraid and muster up the courage to gather a large army to come over and fight.

In this battle, Lu Zhe's recovery of Changsha County was only one of the goals, and the greater strategic purpose was to eliminate more Baiyue people in Changsha County.

In order to make the Baiyue people have more courage, Lu Zhe's reorganized army is pulling eastward, making a trend of about to have a big war with the Chu State, and the Baiyue people carefully observed that Lu Zhe would not increase troops to Luo County, at least not in the short term, and gathered a large army to take the opportunity to eliminate the nail of Sima Xin in Luo County.

Some of the Lu Zhe army that marched east from Nanling were soldiers who were about to be divided into the Eastern Army, and the rest were necessary long-distance training during the reorganization, but how did the Baiyue people know that it would take so much effort to train an army.

The first batch of Baiyue's army has 200,000, which is already two-thirds of Baiyue's troops in Changsha.

Sima Xin received a report from the scouts that the Baiyue people had stretched an army of 200,000 miles to a length of seventy or eighty miles.

If only it were normal. The Baiyue people stretched the march of their troops for so long, Sima Xin would definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack in sections, but it was a pity that his main goal in Luo County was to pounce on the Baiyue people like flies smelling, not to defeat Baiyue for the purpose, otherwise it would definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send troops while the Baiyue army was opened.

After enduring it for about three days, Sima Xin saw that the marching speed of the Baiyue army was still unhurried, and the vanguard had arrived within ten miles of Luo County, but the follow-up troops were still sixty miles away, so he summoned the generals to discuss together.

"It doesn't seem to be the case to shrink all the time, I'm afraid it will make Baiyue people suspicious. Ben was thinking that it was time to send someone to disturb him. ”

The word "general" is from Sima Xin and Lu Zhizhi, and as soon as he claims to be self-proclaimed, he can't change his mouth anymore, because it sounds very imposing.

They stayed in Luo County to attract Baiyue people to fight, but it was indeed too abnormal to shrink back in Luo County and see that there was a great opportunity and not take advantage of it.

Yi Jia, who was promoted to lieutenant, is a confidant among Lu Zhe's cronies, but he has a lot of things with Lu Zhe, and when he saw that the generals above had expressed their opinions, he said: "Don't seize the big opportunity." The Baiyue people are afraid that they are suspicious, it is better to send troops to attack the vanguard of the Baiyue, once there is a follow-up force of the Baiyue people, pretend to be defeated and retreat. In this way, it can also confirm the illusion of low morale of our army because of its surplus defense and insufficient attack. ”

In the past, they were all in favor of sending troops, but they did not talk about such a relationship. As soon as Yi Jia finished speaking, everyone, including Sima Xin, kept bowing their heads.

In fact, when they don't think about this layer of relationship? It's just a chance to leave Lu Zhe's cronies and henchmen a chance, after all, everyone can see that Yi Jia's future will not stop at the captain, and it doesn't hurt to manage the relationship more now.

Sima Xin even said: "Since Captain Jia has such a deep understanding, this battle will be handed over to you." ”

Winga isn't a fool either. He saw that everyone was looking at him with a smile, how could he not know that it was a humble merit, nor was he reserved. Respond directly: "Hey! ”

Is it necessary to be reserved? Totally unnecessary! Yi Jia knew too well why they should be humble, although Lu Zhe said that he upheld the impartiality of no merit and no reward, but his subordinates who looked at him would always look for opportunities to make meritorious contributions. Yijia's sister Yixiu will be one of Lu Zhe's many women, and he himself is a buddy who has been with Lu Zhe from the border of Neishi County to Yangzhou for almost a year, who doesn't know these relationships, no matter how much hypocrisy seems hypocritical, it is better to respond calmly, be humble and polite when treating the robe, and also use his own skills to make war achievements, that is the best way to stop gossip.

In addition to Yijia having such treatment, Li Liang, who was far away in Surabaya County to help Wei and Han reorganize the army, actually had similar treatment, to put it bluntly, Lu Zhe did not promote people for no reason according to his own ideas, but let the people who value it make meritorious contributions according to the normal process, this is already the most just way, after all, that set of fair system has been well implemented, no merit can be promoted, merit must be rewarded, who can have any opinions.

With 5,000 headquarters, Yijia came out of the east gate, went around the Boluo River a little, and made a small detour from the southeast, during which the Baiyue people were unaware.

In fact, there are a lot of water systems around Luo County, except for the exchange river of Dongting Water, Zishui and Xiangshui fifteen miles away in the southwest, and less than five miles outside the city in the east is the Boluo River.

After waiting for about 20 miles, the 5,000 people in Xiangyin City, which was still a wasteland in the future, were finally discovered by Baiyue's scouts, but at this time, Yijia's headquarters was only three miles away from the walled city established by Baiyue's vanguard troops.

Yes, the army garrison camp of the Baiyue people is not called a military camp but a walled city, because the team assembled by Baiyue is not standardized at all, it is a tribal form of the army, except for a small number of leaders with basic military knowledge of the Central Plains, how can the Baiyue people know how to set up a military camp, only cut the wood that can be seen everywhere into a wooden row, and then erect it to become a fence into a village.

There are few people in Baiyue who wear linen clothes, basically wearing animal skins to cover their shame, and there are people who make grass into skirts, how can there be extra fabric? Therefore, the walled city was almost no tents, more of a grass nest built with wooden shelves, so that when Yiga and his people pushed the fence into the walled city, the attacking soldiers could just throw a torch to light a grass nest, and then the burning grass nest could be ignited by the wind to ignite more grass nests next to it.

A sword stabbed to death a Baiyue man who ran to him in a panic, and Yijia saw at a glance that there were soldiers everywhere chasing the Baiyue people who were wearing animal skins or even wearing nothing.

To tell the truth, Lu Zhe looked down on the Baiyue people and felt that Baiyue had no mortal threat, not only because of the chaos in the tribes of Baiyue, but also because Baiyue was indeed backward in technology, and only a very small number of Baiyue people had metal weapons.

From Yijia leading people to rush up and push to the fence to killing them and setting fire to cut people, that is, it took about less than half an hour, about 20,000 Baiyue people, and I don't know which ethnic group, it seems that the Baiyue vanguard of South Vietnam and Minyue is completely finished.

"......" saw that the city was on fire, Yijia was completely dazed, if he remembered correctly, they should have fought to the back of the Baiyue people to reinforce and then pretend to be defeated, but now Baiyue was killed and killed, and many were burned, and the rest of the people either surrendered or ran away, will the leader of Baiyue still send troops to support?

In the final analysis, it was the first time to lead the army to fight alone, and the Baiyue people were too unkilling, and the Yijia who was so successful in killing did not grasp the scale well, and as a result, he fell into an embarrassing situation.

"Leave some people to escort those captured Baiyue people back to Luo County, and the rest will chase after them!" Yi Jia and Lu Zhe really didn't learn in vain, and now they take the initiative to withdraw their troops to scare the Baiyue people, so they make a posture of rushing forward after victory, and wait for the Baiyue people to fight for a while and then retreat.

The vanguard was attacked, and less than 20,000 troops were burned down by the unknown number of Lu Zhe's troops in half an hour, and I don't know how many people were killed.

Yijia solved the problem of not knowing whether to retreat or advance for the Baiyue people, and the three thousand murderous soldiers ran all the way and met a Baiyue enemy army of about 5,000 people again, and after a charge, they were fighting, and when the Baiyue people who reacted sent 20,000 reinforcements, this soft and small number of Lu Zhe's army was finally able to make a tired posture that could not be continued without follow-up reinforcements, and fought and retreated in a desolate trumpet.

The person who led the 20,000 Baiyue troops to support thousands was Kaimingsen, to be honest, he was frightened by the fierce Lu Zhe sergeant after fighting with Lu Zhejun, and when he was hesitating to lead the army to escape, Lu Zhejun actually retreated, which made him muster up the courage to hold on.

Baiyue's troops are just like that, not only when the low-level soldiers are still dazed, but the small leaders are definitely the first to run, and they need to wait for the more senior small leaders to bring people over, and when there are more people, they will think that they will not only be cut but also killed.

Yi Jia didn't dare to kill too hard this time, they retreated for about five miles, waiting for the chase because of the chase of the bold and fattened Kai Mingsen shouted to speed up the pursuit, Yi Jia immediately and appropriately ordered the troops to make an invincible appearance, and then ran towards Luo County.
