Chapter 724: The Di people who lack food and clothing

The ice and snow in the land of Weibei have just melted, Qi Wannian's mind is alive again, in Fuping cat for a winter, Qi Wannian feels that he should be active again, since Liu Yin's main force returned to Weinan last winter, Qi Wannian has dispelled the plan to cross the Wei River in the south, although Chang'an City has a considerable temptation to Qi Wannian, but Liu Yin in two or three months to continuously eliminate the Xiongnu, Ma Lanqiang and Lu Shuihu, such a deterrent force still makes Qi Wannian have palpitations, just a legion of Fu Yan made Qi Wannian return in vain, If you add Liu Yin's main force and want to break through the Weishui natural danger, it is definitely a test to climb to the sky.

Chang'an can't fight, it doesn't mean that Qi Wannian will enter Kuma and put Nanshan, he will attack the target, locked in Feng Yi County in the east of Beidi County and Xinping County in the west, these two counties were originally the Huns Hao San and Ma Lanqiang people's activity area, but since Liu Yin destroyed Hao San and Ma Gelong last year, there is almost no trace of Hu people in these two counties, Qi Wannian decided to open the bow left and right, and attack Feng Yi County and Xinping County at the same time, attacking the land of the two counties.

Now Qi Wannian is in urgent need of grain and grass, last autumn, Qi Wannian raised troops to invade the south, trying to capture the rich Weinan, but it backfired, the Di army was trapped on the north bank of the Wei River, not an inch of advance, until the time of withdrawal, the Di army could not set foot on an inch of land in Weinan, and the plan to get a handful from Weinan was completely frustrated, after withdrawing to Fuping, the grain and grass of the Di army appeared in difficulty, after all, the Beidi County was narrow, the people were poor and barren, and the products were limited, and only Fuping and Niyang supported the grain and grass expenditure of more than 100,000 troops, Obviously, there is a lack of spare strength, Qi Wannian scavenged all the grain, grass and livestock around Beidi County, and barely coped with a winter, and when spring came, the food and grass of the Di army was already in short supply, and if he didn't think of a way, it would be impossible for more than 100,000 troops to survive this spring famine.

Therefore, Qi Wannian attacked the two places at the same time, just to raise grain and grass, in order to achieve the goal, the Di people did not even take into account the hidden dangers brought by the division of troops, and plundered and plundered in Feng Yi and Xinping.

The news reached Chang'an and was immediately reported to Liu Yin.

After the beginning of spring, Liu Yin was also thinking about how to attack Weibei and completely solve Qi Wannian, after hearing the news, Liu Yin smiled slightly, it seems that the opportunity will be sent to the door immediately.

"Could it be Qi Wannian's plan to lure the enemy?" Fu Yan said with some concern.

Liu Yin smiled slightly: "Just after winter, Qi Wannian was in a hurry to attack everywhere, looting everywhere, it seems that he is really a food shortage, I want to come to Qi Wannian last year in a hurry to attack Chang'an, until the middle of winter before withdrawing troops, naturally there is no time to raise grain and grass, more than 100,000 people, the daily needs are not a small number, this winter should be eaten up the grain, will be so crazy looting, at this moment Qi Wannian's troops are scattered, it is a good opportunity for us to break through." ”

Liu Yin immediately ordered the troops and horses on the hour, and the deployment of troops was exactly the same as last year, and Fu Yan led the left army to defend Weinan, and he and Luo Xian led the middle army and the right army to go out of the Weihe River and point directly to the north.

The counties of Weibei have been harassed by the Hu people all the year round, and the number of Han people there is scarce, even if there are a few Han people, most of them surround the Shi family, these Shi families are reluctant to move to the south of Wei, so most of them build dock forts to defend themselves.

Wubao is generally located in the Pingchuan area, surrounded by arable land, Qianmo vertical and horizontal, usually these farmers are in the field, as soon as they encounter the Hu people to loot, they all hide in the Wubao.

Most of the dock forts are built of bricks and stones, and the surrounding ring is often surrounded by deep ditches and high walls, and the internal houses are adjacent, and the four corners and the center are built with another tower and high-rise buildings, which are called watchtowers. The large dock forts are quite villages, and the smaller ones are like houses. Some have a field and pond attached to the side. The fort gate is generally located in the middle of the south wall, and there is a courtyard at the entrance, and the main hall and building are built in the courtyard. There are also auxiliary buildings such as kitchens, toilets, and pigsties, and most of them are located in the north, and the back door is often located at the north end of the east wall.

The dock fort is quite strong, the people who hide in the dock fort and the private soldiers of the Shi family together form the defense force of the dock fort, the Hu people are ferocious and everyone has heard and witnessed, once the dock fort is breached, the people in the dock fort, regardless of men and women, old and young, it is almost difficult to survive, especially women, the end is even more tragic, so once the Hu people attack, the people in the entire dock fort, whether it is men and women, are all the same enemy, and do not retreat.

Generally, a large amount of food and weapons are stored in the dock fort, which can basically ensure that even if the Hu people are besieged for a long time, the dock fort can be self-sufficient, and it is quite difficult for the Hu people who are good at riding to break through the strong dock fort.

Just after the cold winter, there are still ice and snow in the fields, this season has not even sown seeds, let alone what crops grow, at a glance, the fields are barren, Qi Wannian sent people and horses want to get something in the field, almost wishful thinking, and a single farmer, in the land of Weibei, almost non-existent, Di people's eyes, naturally put on those dock forts with a large amount of grain and grass.

But the experience of the past tells them that these dock forts are hard to gnaw hard bones, if in the past, maybe these Di people would have passed around the fort and gave up, but now these Di soldiers are all hungry and screaming, seeing the dock fort with green light in their eyes, and they are surrounding the dock fort and attacking it.

But each dock fort is strong and abnormal, small to dozens of households, large to thousands of households, all the people are united, desperate to fight, Hu people often pay a great price, it is also difficult to conquer a dock fort, dock fort has good defensive performance, whether it is fire or water attack, it is difficult to work, as for the sea of people tactical ant offensive, it is even more difficult to shake the dock fort, the dock fort is stored in a large number of bows and arrows and defensive equipment, often can give the Hu people a head-on attack.

It took a lot of effort for the Di people to reluctantly take down a few dock forts that were small in scale and only defended by hundreds of people, but the food contained in these dock forts was relatively limited, and even if the Di people took them, it would be difficult to solve the urgent need, and as for those large dock forts with thousands of people, they could not be shaken at all.

Most of the men and horses sent out by Qi Wannian were dragged by the dock fort, and the Di people paid a great price for casualties, and it was still difficult to achieve victory, but they were often unwilling, desperately mobilizing their forces, and attacking the dock fort again and again, but they were disappointed again and again.

Just when the Di people continued to harass Feng Yi and Xinping, the men and horses of the Shu army had quietly crossed the Weishui and pressed towards them, and the Di troops who were scattered to fight had become someone else's meal. (To be continued.) )
