Volume 1 The Fierce and Sorrowful Wind Rises Chapter 84 The Battle of Jinyang (20)
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
In this half an hour, the Huns organized five consecutive assaults, breaking through two wooden fences one after another, although they had not yet achieved a complete victory, but the Jin army suffered extremely heavy casualties, and at least a hundred corpses were discarded between the first two wooden fences.
At this time, Shile asked the soldiers to rest for a while and accumulate some energy to fight again.
Anyone knows that as long as they break through the pass in front of them, Qi County will go north to Pingchuan, and there will be no terrain that can be used to stop the Xiongnu army. With their 5,000 men and horses, it is like entering a no-man's land, and it is not difficult to approach the city of Jinyang.
This army horse was originally just a partial division formed by Liu Yuan, the king of Han, who drew various subordinate tribes, but it was just used to attract the attention of the Jin army. The chiefs who led the troops themselves did not think about what they would achieve. What's more, they were unfavorable, the champion general Qiao Xi was actually killed by the Jin people in a surprise attack at night, and the next day the Jin army attacked on a large scale, and the whole army was defeated and demoralized.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the gods, Shi Le, who succeeded him as the commander of the whole army, turned the tide and not only pushed the front to Qi County in one fell swoop, but also had the opportunity to pounce on Jinyang at this moment! Such a situation really made the Hun generals feel very happy, hundreds of steps away from the battle line of the Chinese army, more than a dozen chiefs, generals and colonels are full of spring breeze.
Liu Bao, the commander of the Xiongnu Ten Thousand Cavalry, was the deputy commander of the whole army appointed by Liu Yuan, who led hundreds of people from his tribe to accompany the army, and his authority was similar to that of the supervising army. When the battle was unfavorable a few days ago, Liu Bao did not have the ability to help, and many of his subordinates were killed by the Jin army; When Shile unified the armies, this generation was self-exalted and very uncooperative. The leaders of all the miscellaneous departments in the army were deeply disgusted by this person.
At this time, Liu Bao looked up to the sky and laughed, very proud: "At this moment, the soldiers and horses arranged by the Jin army in the Moraine Mountain and the Exhaustion Mountain must be in a hurry, right?" Let's break through Tuanbai Valley first, then eat the Jin army of Moshan Mountain and Quanfang Mountain, and finally take Jinyang! Haha, Shiler, what do you think? ”
Liu Bao's words clearly meant to rob the merit. For several days, Shi Le tried his best to fight with the Jin people, and only now did he see a chance to win. Liu Bao didn't perform anything before, but he had already included the results of the future into his own pocket. Shile couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. But he knew that Liu Bao had always been a noble Hun and had no taboos to speak. What's more, since he was under the command of Liu Yuan, the king of Han, he had to tolerate these Xiongnu chieftains a little, so he forcibly suppressed his anger.
But I heard Liu Bao continue: "Qiao Xi's guy is brave and unplanned, and there are many perverse arrangements for the march, which almost killed everyone. Thanks to Shile, you put the defeated army in order. I will definitely report this achievement to Da Shan Yu and ask him to reward you heavily! Ha ha! Ha ha! I can't imagine that there is a character like you among the slaves, haha......"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yang, Xie'an, Zhixiong, Ji Bao and other "eighteen horsemen" who were serving beside Shi Le suddenly changed color. Shile was of the Karma origin. The species of the Xiongnu were different from those of the Xiongnu, they were not nomadic, and most of them were poor, and many had to work for helpers to spend the day, and some were sold into slavery to the Han people in Shandong. Therefore, many Huns looked down on the Qiang people and called them "Karma slaves".
When Shile was attached to the Wuhuan chieftain Volidus, he had several conflicts with people because of this. But at that time, Shile was desperate to vote and sent people under the fence; At this moment, he is personally in charge of thousands of people, and as the commander-in-chief of the first army, his status is very different from before. How dare this Hun be so rude!
Shi Le could no longer hide his displeasure, he pulled the reins and went forward to look at the position of the Jin army on his own.
At this moment, there were less than 200 Jin troops left at the intersection, and looking at their appearance, they were already very tired. Behind them, a general on a tall steed was still shouting to boost morale.
From a distance, this man was about seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and a very handsome figure. Under the hood, it can be seen that his heavenly court is full, the bridge of his nose is plump and high, and his eyes are bright. In terms of appearance alone, he doesn't look like a general, but he has a bit of the charm of a turbid son.
Shi Le looked here, and the general seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly turned his head to look this way. The eyes of the two met, and Shi Le only felt that his eyes were painful, as if he had been injured by a sword out of thin air. Shi Le snorted and took a few steps back. The general ignored him and looked away. Only then did Shile realize that on his left cheek, a gray scar dragged from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, and his handsome face also showed a fierce and powerful meaning.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" The sound of hooves behind him was audible, and Wang Yang saw that Shi Le suddenly retreated, so he came to inquire.
For some reason, Shiler suddenly had a premonition of danger. He thought about it, but he didn't feel that there was anything missing, so he shook his head slightly and said to Wang Yang: "I'm fine." This group of Kashiwaya guards seems to be a little familiar......"
Wang Yang smiled: "How come, we used to fight back and forth in Jizhou, and we only joined Da Shan Yu's command this month, when have we seen the soldiers and generals in Jizhou?" The eldest brother is too tired and dazzled. ”
Shi Le just said it in passing, and since Wang Yang explained it like this, he didn't think about it anymore.
At this time, Ji Bao took a few steps forward from behind and brought a piece of food: "Big brother, let's get together some food for the soldiers to eat." You might as well eat and drink to your heart's content, and then go to fight. ”
Shi Le and the others had eaten a little food when they left the army this morning, and they were already hungry at this moment. He looked into his own phalanx, and saw that many soldiers were munching, so he was polite and came to eat. He was given a large stoneware bowl with many black lumps in it. Shi Le only regarded it as straw or mulberry or the like, swallowed it in one bite, only to feel that the taste was wrong, thought about it carefully, and almost threw the big bowl to the ground: "This...... What kind of meat is this? ”
This thing is definitely not animal meat, it is very likely to be the so-called "human breast"!
Shi Le looked at Ji Bao in disbelief, but when he saw that Ji Bao's face did not change, he suddenly felt discouraged.
In the past two years, there have been continuous famines in Hebei, and Lishi, where the Xiongnu Shan Yuting is located, has not been spared, and the residents have changed their children to eat, and even the grazing cattle and sheep are hungry to the point of gnawing each other's hair. The supply of military rations is even more dire. This attack of tens of thousands of troops was certainly unexpected by the Jin army, but in order to supply the huge war expenses, every bit and every drop of potential of the Xiongnu and Han States had been squeezed out. It was not easy for Ji Bao to take on the logistics task, and Shile also knew that he could not ask for more.
He let out a long sigh and put the bowl down. Liu Yuan, the king of the Han Dynasty, marched north with a large army, which seemed to be imposing, but in fact, he had already poured out the last old foundation, and no matter the manpower, material resources, and financial resources, they had reached the limit. Therefore, Liu Yuan was even more anxious to capture Jinyang, hoping to seize the assets in the northern part of the state for military needs. And Liu Kun, who guards Jinyang, can actually be better. The whole state has been war-torn several times, and the so-called "thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates", in addition to mourning all over the wilderness, what else can be left?
Shi Le frowned, thinking about his thoughts in a daze, and none of his subordinates dared to disturb him, and they all waited quietly.
After a long time, Shiler jumped to his feet and regained his confident posture. He urged Wang Yang loudly: "Lu Yao, who led the army to garrison Moshan Mountain, is quite good at using troops, and I estimate that reinforcements will arrive tomorrow at most." Wang Yang, you take Huyanmo, Guo Heiluo, Zhang Yue, and Peacock to attack them in person, and be sure to take the pass before nightfall! We're going to fight a good battle and show our means in front of those Huns! ”
Wang Yangnai is the head of the "Eighteen Horsemen" under Shi Le, who has followed Shi Le for the longest time and is also the most trusted. He was originally a herd slave in the Chilong Horse Farm in Jizhou, and when he was a teenager, he was taught by a stranger to a superb martial arts, and the unique skill of a two-handed spear was even more powerful in Hebei. Whenever there is a big battle, he always takes the lead in charging into battle, cutting generals and capturing the flag, and is one of the best warriors under Shi Le.
In the past, Shi Le followed the Gongshi Domain, Jisang and other giants to fight with the imperial court generals, known as "Tu Bo" Gou Xi and fighting. Gou Xi led 50,000 soldiers, and the army was in order. The crowd was fearful, and they all trembled. When it was time, only Wang Yang stood out on a single horse, challenged the prancing horse in front of the ten thousand army, and even beheaded several brave generals under the command of Gou Xi, and the morale of the whole army was restored.
Hu Yanmo, Guo Heiluo, Zhang Yue, Peacock and others are also brave warriors who are famous in Jizhou. Shile was determined to fight quickly, which led them to join the attack.
Wang Yang was about to set off, and Shi Le suddenly said: "I think this will look very good, not an ordinary mediocre person." It's best to capture this man in this battle, and if you can subdue him, you will definitely be an arm in the future. ”
Wang Yang made a decision: "Since the eldest brother has this intention, he must be captured with only the two spears of the younger brother." It's just that these people, as generals of the imperial court, think very highly of themselves. The eldest brother wants him to fall in love with him, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”
Shile smiled, "Why not give it a try. Now the court is mediocre, and heroes are everywhere in the world. In this troubled world, how do you know that today's thieves are not tomorrow's kings and generals? Do you know that today's high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not tomorrow's lost dogs? If you can subdue this person, it will really be like a tiger with wings, and you will be planning to do great things. ”
Wang Yang nodded, stretched out his hand to pat the two fine iron spears hanging next to the saddle, and galloped away with dozens of horses.
