Chapter 1117: Song Cheng's Army
When the chief general of the Jin army and several generals beside him heard this, they were all surprised, they did not expect that the Tuyuhun army would suddenly kill, and immediately ran out of the big tent and looked into the distance.
The generals of the Jin army saw very clearly that a large amount of smoke and dust had been lifted in the distance, which was enough to show that almost all of Tuyuhun's main army had been dispatched and was killing their camp.
"Pass the order, and all the soldiers immediately assemble and prepare for battle." The chief general of the Jin army gave the order to meet the battle.
"General, Tuyuhun's main force is prepared, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to win if we rush to face the battle." The ministry general opened his mouth to persuade.
The main general reprimanded: "So what, if our army breaks and flees now, it will also suffer a great defeat, and at the same time, all the materials in the camp will be captured by Tuyuhun, in this way, wouldn't it be too cheap Tuyuhun, don't talk nonsense, go all out to face the battle." ”
"Yes, general, we are willing to fight to meet the enemy, so that Tuyuhun knows the strength of the army in the Great Jin Pass." The ministry replied loudly.
Under the pressure of the surprise attack of the Tuyuhun army, the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin army quickly put on their armor and quickly assembled in the camp.
However, the Tuyuhun army was extremely ferocious, and when the Jin army Guanzhong army had not yet fully assembled, it had already killed outside the Jin army camp and launched a ferocious attack directly on the Jin army camp.
"Killing ......" The Jin army and the Tuyuhun army collided violently together, starting a desperate fight.
Tuyuhun has the advantage of troops and is relatively well prepared, so he completely has the upper hand and overwhelms the Jin army.
After a period of fighting, the Jin army suffered heavy losses in soldiers and horses, and had no chance of turning defeat into victory, so they had to choose to retreat in order to preserve their strength.
Under the order of the chief general of the Jin army, the Jin army retreated in separate ways, and when retreating, set fire to part of the camp tents, creating chaos so that the Tuyuhun army could not pursue. At the same time, it also made Tuyuhun unable to capture the massive materials in the camp.
Seeing that the Jin army was completely dispersed, the Tuyuhun army pursued for five or six miles, and then retreated. Start cleaning up the results.
In this battle, Tuyuhun King Shaxi personally supervised the battle, and was quite satisfied with the result of the battle, and in just half an hour, the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Guanzhong Army of the Jin Army were completely defeated. If it weren't for the fact that the Guanzhong Legion was also a cavalry, it would have been wiped out a long time ago.
"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army annihilated 10,000 Jin troops, with less than 3,000 self-losses, and our army won a complete victory." A Tuyuhun general said happily.
A smile appeared at the corner of King Tuyuhun's mouth, and he said happily: "Okay, very good, this is my good son of Tuyuhun, the victory of this battle." It is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of my Tuyuhun army is not weaker than that of the Jin army, and the reason why it failed to break through Guzang City is entirely because the Jin army hid in the city as a shrinking turtle, otherwise, our army would have wiped out the Jin army and horses in Guzang City a long time ago. ”
"What the king said is that siege is not my Tuyuhun specialty, so our army really shouldn't waste its strength under Guzang City, or it is more in line with our army's advantages to fight in the field." A Tuyuhun general said.
Tuyuhun King Shaxi nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right." In order to breathe a sigh of relief, it is really unwise for this king to let the army lose its strength in vain, but. At present, only by continuing to besiege Guzang City can Song Cheng's 100,000 Liangzhou army's main force return to Guzang day and night, so that our army can have a good fight with Liangzhou's 100,000 camel cavalry in the field. It is said that the camel cavalry of the Liangzhou Legion is powerful, but this king really wants to see it and see if the camel cavalry of Liangzhou is powerful, or my Tuyuhun cavalry is powerful. After speaking, his eyes were full of confidence.
"Your Majesty, after all, Song Cheng's army has an army of 100,000, and its strength is not less than that of our army, if it really fights, even if our army can win, it must be a tragic victory, and the loss must be not small, is it a bit risky to face the enemy head-on." The generals were worried that Song Cheng's army was powerful, and some were worried that they would not be able to defeat it.
Broken Xi frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Song Cheng's army is the main army of the Jin State's western expedition to the Western Regions, as long as our army defeats the Song Cheng army, then the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty's western expedition will be gone, when the time comes, I Tuyuhun can occupy Liangzhou, and capture the Western Regions at the right time, and establish a vast western power, so as to have the capital to fight against the Jin army, if our army can not defeat the Song Cheng army, and thus return to Tuyuhun, then my Tuyuhun will be destroyed by the Jin State sooner or later, so, defeat the Song Cheng army, Occupying the whole of Liangzhou is the only way for me to Tuyuhun, we have to do this, this is our only way out. ”
When the Tuyuhun generals heard this, they all nodded in approval, obviously, the expansion of the Jin Kingdom has never stopped, and now, the Andong Protectorate and the Anbei Protectorate have been established one after another, and the next step, the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate has become inevitable, this can be seen from the Song Cheng's Western Expedition, maybe the geographical location of Tuyuhun is not as superior as the Western Regions, maybe the Tuyuhun has many soldiers and horses, and it is more powerful than the countries in the Western Regions, so the Great Jin did not attack Tuyuhun, but marched to the Western Regions, but as long as the Great Jin Dynasty captured the Western Regions, And the formal establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, then Tuyuhun is surrounded by the Jin army on three sides, and the next step will inevitably be annexed by the Jin State, which is obviously unbearable for the Tuyuhun king Shaxi, and also unbearable for the Tuyuhun generals.
"The king can rest assured, we will go all out to fight a bloody battle with the Jin army, completely defeat Song Cheng's army, capture the entire Liangzhou, and establish a larger Tuyuhun Empire." The general said loudly.
Sha Xi nodded, and said, "Continue to besiege Guzang City and force Song Cheng to speed up the return of reinforcements." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing the order, the generals immediately returned to the direction of Guzang City and continued to attack Guzang City.
Of course, when the main army of Tuyuhun rushed for thirty miles to attack the Dajin Guanzhong Army, the Dajin soldiers and civilians in Guzang City had a little respite, and went to the outside of the city in batches to transport all kinds of defending materials piled up under the city wall outside the city back to the city to meet the next round of strong attacks of the Tuyuhun army.
Looking at a large number of wounded soldiers and civilians in the city, as well as the damaged houses, the Jin army's main general's brows furrowed deeply, although they found that the Tuyuhun army had evacuated into the distance, but he knew that the Tuyuhun army was not evacuating, but going to attack the reinforcements of the Guanzhong legion, he really wanted to lead the troops to raid the rear of Tuyuhun, but there were not many soldiers and horses under his command who could fight, even if he raided Tuyuhun's back. It is impossible to have any help for the reinforcements of the Guanzhong Army, but it is better to take advantage of the good opportunity of the Tuyuhun army to attack the Guanzhong Army and strengthen the city defense of Guzang City to resist the next round of attack by the Tuyuhun army. After all, the chief general of the Jin army knew very well in his heart that the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the reinforced Guanzhong Legion were not at all the opponents of the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun, and defeat was inevitable, so. We must be prepared to continue to hold on to Guzang City, so as not to be careless and let the Tuyuhun army break through the city.
"Where has General Song's soldiers and horses arrived, and there are still a few days to return to Guzang." The Jin army commander looked at the captain beside him and asked in a low voice.
"General Hui, news has just come back from the west, my main army in Liangzhou is less than two hundred miles away from Guzang, and I believe it will arrive at Guzang in a few days." The lieutenant said.
The chief general of the Jin army nodded and said softly: "Hold on for a few more days, and the main army will come back soon." At that time, it will be difficult for Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses to threaten Guzang City. ”
Obviously, the chief general of the Jin army has great confidence in the Song Cheng army, after all, the Song Cheng army has 100,000 camel cavalry, which is the main force of the Liangzhou army, and its strength is naturally not to be underestimated.
"General, there is smoke and dust in the distance, is it that the Tuyuhun army has come back again?" The general looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and said loudly.
The Jin army commander looked up into the distance. Nodding, he ordered loudly: "Everyone outside the city immediately return to the city, and the city gates are all closed, be quick." ”
Orders were passed down one level at a time. Soon, the soldiers and civilians of Guzang City, who were carrying materials to defend the city outside the city, returned to the city one after another, and the city gate was immediately closed, the drawbridge rose to the highest, and the soldiers stationed on the city wall bent their bows and arrows. Prepare to take on the incoming enemy.
With the momentum of victory, the Tuyuhun army launched a strong attack on Guzang City again, but because the military and civilians of Guzang City were extremely tightly guarded, Tuyuhun's attack was thwarted again.
A few days later, the Song Cheng army, which was in a hurry to rush back, finally arrived near Guzang City, and immediately launched an attack on the main army of Tuyuhun, the strength of the Tuyuhun army was almost the same as that of Song Cheng's army, for this reason, the battle between the two sides was extremely tragic.
The 100,000 camel cavalry of the Song Cheng army is specially prepared for desert operations, for this reason, fighting near Guzang City, it seems that it is a bit of a loss, in addition, in order to return to Guzang City as soon as possible, the Song Cheng army is a day and night march, the soldiers are generally tired, and the Tuyuhun army has been staying near Guzang City to wait for work.
Seeing that the Song Cheng army was at a disadvantage, the Jin army guards standing on the city wall looked extremely anxious, and hoped that the Song Cheng army could turn things around, but it backfired, and the disadvantages of the Song Cheng army seemed to be becoming more and more obvious, which made the Jin army defenders a little untenable.
"Pass the order, gather all the capable warriors, and prepare to go out of the city to reinforce General Song." The Jin army's Gu Zangcheng guard ordered loudly.
"General, there are less than 3,000 soldiers in our army who can fight, and most of them are infantry, and if you go out of the city, you will be sent to death!" The ministry does not seem to agree with this.
"Our army is less than 3,000, aren't there still ordinary people? All the common people who can still fight are all assembled, ready to go out of the city to reinforce General Song, even if all are killed in battle, the unfavorable situation of our army must be reversed. The Jin defenders shouted loudly.
"Yes, General." The ministry will take the order and begin to communicate it downwards.
Soon, in Guzang City, all the men and horses who could still fight began to assemble at the city gate, preparing to fight outside the city and reinforce Song Cheng's army.
On a small hillside outside the city, the king of Tuyuhun broke Xi, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile, Song Cheng's army was at a disadvantage, which made him feel very happy, and if he continued to fight like this, the Tuyuhun army would definitely achieve the final victory, and it would deal a big blow to the Jin army.
"Your Majesty, the defeat of the Jin army is a foregone conclusion, and our army will soon be able to defeat the main force of the Liangzhou army." A Tuyuhun general said excitedly.
Sha Xi nodded, and said: "That's right, the Jin army came from afar, but our army is waiting for work, how can our army not win, but we must pay attention to the soldiers and horses in the city to prevent them from coming out to make trouble." ”
"The king is too worried, the city is full of rabble, and they don't dare to come out at all, and they can only watch their main army be defeated by our army." The general said indifferently.
When Sha Xi heard this, he felt that it was also, after all, there were not many soldiers and horses in the Jin army in the city, as for those ordinary people, how could they have the courage to rush out of the city to fight.
However, Sha Xi was completely wrong, at this time in Guzang City, 30,000 soldiers and civilians of Guzang City had begun to assemble, and received the armor and weapons from the warehouse in Guzang City, assembled at the city gate, and prepared to kill outside the city.
The Jin army guard looked at the soldiers and civilians at the city gate and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Jin, the main force of our army is fighting with the Tuyuhun army outside the city, we must rush out of the city, fight with the main army, and defeat the Tuyuhun army in one fell swoop." ”
"Roar, roar, roar, ......," the residents of Guzang City gathered at the city gate roared loudly.
The Jin army guards were greatly satisfied, jumped on their horses, and shouted: "Open the city gate, and all the warriors will come out with the general." ”
"Click......" The gate of Guzang City slowly opened.
The Jin army guards took the lead and led 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city to kill outside the city.
The soldiers and civilians of Guzang City were all equipped with the brand-new armor and weapons stored in the city, and from a distance, there was an unstoppable momentum.
Tuyuhun King Shaxi, who was watching the battle on the hillside, was greatly shocked when he saw this situation, and a full 30,000 Jin troops suddenly came out of the city, which would definitely have a great impact on the situation of the entire battlefield.
"How is it possible, the Jin army in the city only has thousands of soldiers and horses, how can tens of thousands of soldiers and horses pour out all of a sudden, could it be that another support soldier of the Jin army has quietly entered the city." A Tuyuhun general said in surprise.
"Impossible, Guzang City has been closely monitored by our army, if a large number of Jin troops enter Guzang City, it is impossible to escape the sight of our army, this is completely impossible." Another Tuyuhun general retorted.
"Could it be a dark passage?" A Tuyuhun general said.
Broken Xi frowned deeply, looked at the Jin soldiers and horses that were rushing forward, and ordered loudly: "Immediately divide some soldiers and horses to meet the Jin army killed in the city." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." A subordinate general received the order and personally went to arrange it.
However, at this time, the Jin army had already been slaughtered, and Tuyuhun soldiers and horses wanted to divide their troops to meet the enemy, but it was obviously too late. (To be continued.) )
