Chapter 630: Marching to Longshan
In the direction of Bingzhou, a partial division led by Xie Ai was like a bamboo, successively attacking Shangdang and Xihe two counties, and approaching Taiyuan County, the core of Bingzhou.
After entering Taiyuan County, the resistance encountered gradually increased, but with the bravery of the soldiers and the wise command of Xie Ai, this partial division still continued to conquer Pingtao, Wu County, Zhongdu, Jingling, Qi County, Daling, Yangyi and other cities, and approached Jinyang City, the capital of Bingzhou.
In Longshan, west of Jinyang City, Xie Ai's army encountered unprecedented resistance, with 5,000 soldiers and horses in the front line, and was blocked by 3,000 elite enemy troops at the foot of Longshan.
In the face of the enemy's 3,000 elites, the well-trained Jin army naturally did not back down and immediately launched an attack.
"The Jin army invaded the territory for no reason, brothers, kill me ......" The enemy commander shouted loudly and took the lead in attacking the Jin army's soldiers and horses.
Suddenly, the forward of the 5,000 Jin army and the elite of the 3,000 enemy army, launched a desperate fight at the foot of Longshan, the Jin army was like a bamboo, and did not encounter a particularly strong enemy, and, again, it was more than a few blows, for this reason, it was inevitable that some enemies were light, but the three thousand enemy troops in front of them, the combat power was extremely strong, especially the leading generals, there were ten thousand people who were not brave, this person rode into the Jin army formation, such as entering no one's land, and soon the Jin army's formation was scattered.
Seeing that the enemy's combat strength was so strong, the Jin army generals were taken aback, and immediately ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats." With that, he rode his horse back.
Thousands of soldiers of the Jin army, after hearing the order, immediately rode their horses and fled backwards.
"The Jin army has fled, quickly, chase and kill the Jin army." The enemy general shouted and rode his horse after him.
"Killed" ...... 3,000 enemy cavalry. Under the leadership of his generals, he rode his horse to pursue the Jin army's soldiers and horses, and pursued for more than ten miles before he returned from his horse.
On the main road south of Longshan, Xie Ai, Yang An, and Zhao Wu led the main army and were slowly moving, and their goal was to occupy Longshan as quickly as possible, so as to open the door to attack Jinyang City.
Seeing that there are already lush mountains ahead. Yang An said softly: "The front must be Longshan." I believe that the vanguard of our army has occupied Yongsan, and must be camping at this time? Ha ha! ”
"Occupying Longshan is equivalent to opening the door to attack Jinyang City, or it will take a few days. I will be able to capture Jinyang City with the main force. And once Jinyang City is occupied by our army. The entire annexation of the state will be the world of our army. Zhao Wu also said happily.
Listening to the optimistic statements of the two, Xie Ai did not have the slightest look of excitement, even. Looks a little worried.
"General Xie, what's wrong with you, you seem to be worried about something?" Yang An asked softly.
Xie Ai nodded, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Even the two generals are so light on the enemy, how can the general not be worried?" ”
"General Xie, our army has been breaking through all the way, and the enemy's combat strength has also been seen, but in this case, what else is there to worry about?" Zhao Wu said.
Xie Ai pointed to Longshan in front of him and said softly: "The two generals both know that Longshan is the gateway to the western part of Jinyang City, and the enemy generals naturally understand this, so how can the enemy army not set up heavy troops to defend Longshan?" Ben will send 5,000 forwards, just to find out the reality of the enemy army, not to let them capture Longshan. ”
When Yang An and Zhao Wu heard this, they felt that Xie Ai's words made some sense, so they both nodded approvingly, and looked up in the direction of Longshan.
Suddenly, a violent dust rose from the direction of Longshan, and it was clear that a large army was coming, and when it got closer, it could be seen that this team of men and horses was very chaotic, and it was obvious that the battle had been lost.
"Could it be the vanguard of our army?" Yang An said in surprise.
When Zhao Wu heard this, he said: "It seems that the enemy army has really deployed heavy troops in Longshan, otherwise, with the strength of our army's five thousand forwards, it is impossible to defeat like this." ”
Xie Ai sighed and said softly, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." With that, he rode his horse and galloped up.
Yang An and Zhao Wu followed closely behind, riding their horses forward.
Seeing Xie Ai, Yang An, Zhao Wu and others personally greet them, the main general of the forward immediately turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "General, our army encountered the elite of the enemy army at the foot of Longshan, and although we fought hard, we were still defeated. ”
"Tell me quickly, how many soldiers and horses the enemy has, cavalry or infantry." Yang An asked loudly.
"The enemy army is about three thousand, and like our army, all cavalry." The striker will say truthfully.
When Yang An heard this, he said angrily: "The enemy army only has 3,000 men, and you have 5,000 soldiers, why are you so defeated." ”
"General, the commander of the enemy army is extremely brave, and he is like entering a no-man's land, and no one in our army is his opponent, so he was defeated." The striker said dejectedly.
"Oh, there is such a brave general, I would like to meet him, and see how brave this man is." Yang An said loudly, looked at Xie Ai after speaking, and asked: "General Xie, the last general will lead 10,000 troops to meet this enemy general." ”
"General Yang is slow." Seeing that Yang An was about to lead the troops into battle, Xie Ai hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
Yang An looked at Xie Ai in surprise and said softly: "General Xie, the so-called noble soldier is fast, why do you want to stop the last general from fighting." ”
Xie Ai pondered for a moment, and said softly: "General Yang, it's a little late at the moment, the enemy army may not only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, if there are still tens of thousands of ambush soldiers, the general is here, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, or temporarily camp, and go out to battle again every morning!" ”
"Yes! General Yang, let's fight together tomorrow, and we will meet this enemy general with the courage of ten thousand people. Zhao Wu also followed suit.
When Yang An heard this, he felt that there was some truth, so he hugged his fists and said: "Tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, it's decided, tomorrow I will fight, I will be the first to compete with that guy, and no one is allowed to rob me." ”
"Don't worry! No one is robbing you. Zhao Wu said.
Subsequently, the main force of the Jin army stopped camping and buried the pot to cook, preparing to rest for a day before launching an attack on Longshan.
After the camp was set up, Xie Ai thought about it in the big tent of the Chinese army, and decided to immediately send a group of scouts to reconnoiter near Longshan to find out the specific situation there and prepare for the next day's march.
####
At the foot of Longshan, Zhang Ping, the former Zhao State and Prefecture Assassin, led an army of 30,000 to arrive here, and set up camp at the dangerous position of Longshan.
Zhang Ping stood outside the camp and waited with his generals for his righteous son Zhang Oyster, who was the general who had the courage of ten thousand men and rode his horse into the camp of the Jin army, as if he had entered the realm of no man.
This man's arm strength is amazing, and he is very athletic, he can drag the bull backwards and walk, and he can climb over the city wall no matter how high or low.
Such a brave man, but fell in love with a person he shouldn't love, that woman was his stepfather Zhang Ping's concubine, that is, his stepmother, he often fornicated with his stepmother, and was finally discovered.
Feeling guilty, Zhang Hao pulled out his saber and castrated himself with a heart, in order to show his determination not to have fornication with his stepmother in the future.
Seeing Zhang Oyster castrate himself, Zhang Ping forgave his righteous son, and treated him as good as usual, this time, seeing that the Jin army was like a bamboo, and advanced to the vicinity of Longshan not far from Jinyang City, he did not hesitate to let his righteous son Zhang Oyster lead the elite men and horses to the foot of Longshan to block the Jin army's attack.
Worried that Zhang Hao's 3,000 elites were outnumbered, half a day after Zhang Hao led the army to set off, Zhang Ping personally led the main army of 30,000 to reinforce the direction of Longshan in order to completely block the main force of the Jin army.
After arriving at the foot of Longshan, seeing that Zhang Hao had led the army to fight with the Jin army and had not yet returned, Zhang Ping was a little worried, so he led a group of generals to wait for Zhang Hao's return at the gate of the camp.
It didn't take long for Zhang Hao to lead his 3,000 elites back to the camp.
Seeing that his father-in-law was waiting for him outside the camp gate, Zhang Hao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to hold his fists and said, "Father-in-law, why are you here?" ”
Seeing the safe return of his righteous son, Zhang Ping was a lot relieved, and said softly: "There are a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses in the Jin army, and all of them are well-trained elite divisions. ”
Zhang Hao looked proud and said loudly: "Father-in-law, those Jin troops are not so powerful at all, just now a Jin army of 5,000 soldiers and horses came to kill our army, and I and 3,000 brothers stepped forward to fight, haha!" If it weren't for the fast running of the Jin army, it would have been completely annihilated by our army a long time ago. ”
"Oh, you just defeated the vanguard of the Jin army, how many enemies did you destroy." Zhang Ping was very happy when he heard that Yizi had won a big victory.
Zhang Hao looked sorry and said loudly: "Father-in-law, the Jin army withdrew too quickly, and our army only eliminated three or five hundred Jin cavalry. ”
"General, our army has won the first battle at the foot of Longshan, this is a good sign!" One of the generals hurriedly complimented.
"General, with the young general here, Longshan can be safe, and the Jin army does not want to invade Jinyang City." Another general said.
When Zhang Ping heard this, he smiled and said softly: "The generals are right, as long as our army is united, the Jin army will not want to cross Longshan, hahaha!" He laughed.
"Father-in-law, the Jin army will not be willing to fail, early tomorrow morning, the main force of the Jin army will definitely come to attack, and when the time comes, let the child lead three thousand elites and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." Zhang Hao said loudly.
Zhang Ping nodded and said loudly: "Okay, very good, tomorrow's battle will all depend on my son." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Oyster expectantly.
Subsequently, the generals under Zhang Ping's command went back to prepare for the second day of the battle.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Jin army camp began to assemble in a comprehensive way, and only the main general gave an order to kill in the direction of Longshan.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xie Ai listened to the report of the scouts, had a general understanding of the enemy situation in the direction of Longshan, and decided to immediately lead the main army to march to the foot of Longshan. (To be continued......)
