Chapter 331

Xu Zheng is the commander of the Han Army in Yuzhou, Cai you is the commander of the March, Su Ding is the master book, and Li Tan, Fu Wei and Xie Ziyu are under their command. They have 12000 cavalry soldiers and 30000 infantry soldiers, and 90000 auxiliary soldiers, servants and new attached troops, with a total of 132000 troops.

Coincidentally, Xu Zheng also chose to fight in the field when facing the troops of Zhao Jun in Shijie. However, Yuzhou is much larger than Dongping county. Huanwen Tongbing's field operations are limited to one county, and Xu Zheng's side is fighting in three directions at the same time.

Xu Zheng's troops are relatively rich. He chose to use infantry and second-line troops to enter Gaoping County, use most of the cavalry soldiers to detour Liang County, and finally go out of Pengcheng county to enter Pei county.

The battle in Yuzhou was very fierce from the beginning. Peijun was the first to break out. Lu Yong was the main general of Shijie Zhao army, and Li Kuang was the main general of Han army. The two sides collided in Xiao County on the edge of Bian water. When Li Kuang's headquarters defeated Lu Yong, the front began to burn towards the South Bank of bianshui. Lu Yong's defeated army returned to peiguo city. Li Kuang pursued to the bottom of the city to form a confrontation.

Liang Jun's side was the site of the subsequent outbreak. The two sides had a total of more than 80000, and the first confrontation was in Xiayi. All the Han troops along the way were cavalry. They could not eat the Shijie Zhao army in the first battle. They made a detour to the south. First, they seduced the Shijie Zhao army's cavalry to pursue, and a large-scale cavalry battle took place in the North Plain of Dangshan. After the Han army won, they rushed to the Shijie Zhao army, which also made the pursuit action, defeated the Shijie Zhao army in one fell swoop and forced them to retreat to Dangshan.

The main force led by Xu Zheng was the battle between Wu Tangting on the edge of the water and Shijie Zhao Jun led by Liu Kai. At the beginning, it was actually a tepid situation. Liu Kai once wanted to attack the Han Army half across the river, but the fighting season was summer. Some of the water under the non flood season could wade through the water, and Liu Kai's half crossing and attack was stillborn before it began.

Compared with the smooth offensive of the other two routes, Wu Tangting was cautious enough to close the camp as much as possible. Most of Xu Zheng's hands were second-line troops, so the battle between the two sides was difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat at the moment.

The war situation reports from all over Luoyin. The battle between the Han Army led by Liu Yan and the Qiang army led by Yao Yizhong has entered an extremely fierce state.

"So now we are fighting under the overall situation of Shijie Zhao?" Liu Yan's face was a very satisfied expression. He was more or less worried about the counterattack of Zhao Jun in Shijie. When he heard the war report, he couldn't calm down. He glanced at the people in the account and said, "Yao Yizhong's colleagues have not been able to suppress us. No wonder he will become more and more crazy."

When Liu Yan convened a meeting between the military Chinese position and the general on duty, the sound of fighting outside came all the time.

Yao Yizhong's attack on the Han army is carried out every day. After paying heavy casualties, the Qiang army has built many barriers that can block arrows 200 steps away from the Han Army's camp, mostly earth hills.

With the barrier blocking the sight and arrows, it can be said that it is much easier for the Qiang troops to dispatch troops, but it is still a restricted area within 200 steps. Recently, the Qiang army has done everything to push forward, either digging trenches or repeatedly setting up fortifications similar to corridors. Liu Yan has been forced to send troops to destroy many times, and hand to hand combat can not be avoided.

Liu Yan said that there is an absolute reason why the Qiang troops have become crazy. Yao Yizhong is eager to make progress. He doesn't care about casualties. Even if thousands of people are killed or injured just to advance ten steps, Yao Yizhong doesn't care. Yao Yizhong cares about advancing and advancing again.

Yao Yizhong's anxiety is related to the emergence of more and more Han troops in the periphery. Liu Yan's first batch of reinforcements landed from Jishui, and more than 20000 infantry once pushed 20 miles away from Luoyin. Yao Yizhong sent enough cavalry to block the attack, and then increased troops again and again, It was only at the cost of heavy casualties that the Han army was forced to retreat to the edge of Jishui.

Only the reinforcements along the way forced Yao Yizhong to send 50000 troops to block the attack, followed by a Han Army, mainly cavalry, with a number of about 30000. In order to prevent the Han Army along the way, Yao Yizhong sent 60000 troops to Kan County on the east line of the main battlefield.

For Yao Yizhong, Liu Yan on the main battlefield has only 30000 on hand, which is so difficult to deal with. What if Liu Yan's troops expand to 80000? It must be a desperate attempt to stop the Han army from joining Liu Yan!

It can be said that Yanzhou has become an area, and Yuzhou is also in continuous war. The war on Qingzhou has opened two new battlefields with the arrival of Liu Yan's reinforcements. Shijie Zhao state is really fighting for whatever reason.

The latest information about Xiangguo and Yecheng came to Liu Yan's hands. Shi Hu has been recruiting his own soldiers of the Jie nationality on a large scale. I heard that Shijie's most powerful Dragon Guard Corps is also preparing for war. Shi Hu ordered Shi Xuan to form a force regiment. It looks like he is preparing to enlist in person.

The full name of the Hercules group established by Shi Xuan is "Donggong Gaoli", which selects tall and strong people of all ethnic groups as Hercules. They were organized in history and exiled to the west by Shi Hu. As a result, these people went to Yongzhou and launched a rebellion under the leadership of Jin General Liang du.

Shi Hu launched his family to prepare for the war. No one can ignore this. At the same time, no one wants to be the target of Shi Hu's personal expedition.

"Jun Shang?" Ji Chang asked a little urgently, "when will our fleet block the river (Yellow River)

Ji Chang had urgent reasons. Seeing that Shi Hu might lead the army, he guessed that Shi Hu would unite his troops to attack Guanzhong, but no one except Shi Hu was sure where he would enter the army. They have been fighting with Yao Yizhong in Jinan County for half a month. If they continue to entangle, the probability of Shi Hu leading the army will increase.

Although the Han army is now fighting against the Shijie Zhao army in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, we should see what constitutes the Shijie Zhao army that the Han army is currently facing. Those Shijie Zhao armies only have a small number of county soldiers, most of them are tribal soldiers, family soldiers and civilians recruited locally, which are not any elite troops of the Shijie Zhao state.

The elite troops of Shijie state of Zhao against the Han Army are only the Qiang army led by Yao Yizhong, and the other elite is Fu Hong's Di army. After all, the biggest helpers of Shijie ruling the central plains are Qiang and di.

How can the Qiang and Di people who can be regarded as the biggest helpers by Shijie have no corresponding details? Only the Qiang army appeared in Luoyin battlefield. Before that, an army appeared briefly. It was the Qiang sudden cavalry with armor and horses in the first half. There was also a Qiang infantry wearing heavy armor.

In any case, the Qiang nationality is really the largest ethnic group in the Central Plains. They even operate the Northwest for more than 200 years. As the current commander of the Qiang nationality, Yao Yizhong can't say that he doesn't have an elite army at hand.

Moreover, the Qiang nationality can become the biggest helper of Shijie. They do not simply rely on a large number of people. The Jin people are not a large number of people in the Central Plains, but the reason why the Jin people are bullied must be because the Qiang nationality is fierce enough.

"Wait." Liu Yan also wants to quickly end the war here. He said: "at present, Yao Yizhong just uses the elite troops in his hand to make a test, waiting for him to really let the elite in his hand participate in the war, which is the opportunity for the fleet to blockade the Yellow River."

It must be said that Liu Yan is used to calling the Yellow River, but now the Yellow River is not yellow at all. What is more like the Yellow River is Jingshui. Compared with the Yellow River, which is still clear at present, the Jing water in the Northwest Plateau is really muddy.

There are already 500 Han fleets in the Chenzi river. At present, they are hidden, mostly on the edge of Taocheng, Jibei County in the non war zone. There was no man's land in the last time of Jianqing Biye in Shijie Zhao state, because it was not a war zone, and not many people paid attention to it.

The reach of the Chenzi River in Taocheng should be about 60 li away from the Yellow River and more than 150 li away from the battlefield on the side of Luoyin. Even if Yao Yizhong carefully searched around the battlefield, he could not explore 150 li away.

Just now, Liu Yan and others were still talking about the elite army in Yao Yizhong's hand. Someone immediately reported that the elite Qiang army appeared on the battlefield again, which led Liu Yan out of the big tent to the lookout.

With the evolution of the war situation, the Han Army's camp was surrounded in an all-round way. It was Yao Yizhong's troops who had an absolute advantage. The starting point was to explain Liu Yan here. It was impossible to leave a gap when he really launched the general attack.

Liu Yan took people to the observation platform about 15 meters. He raised his single telescope and looked at the North battlefield. There were flying arrows in the sky and a surge of people on the ground.

Without too much discrimination, on the extremely complex landform, a Qiang army with an iron shield pushed steadily against the falling arrows.

Liu Yan and others can observe carefully with the convenience of binoculars. The metal used by Qiang soldiers is by no means comparable to that of miscellaneous soldiers. The shield in their hands is made of iron and they wear iron armor. Then they push forward. They look organized, but they are not as flustered as miscellaneous soldiers.

The elite troops of Qiang nationality attack with a larger number of miscellaneous soldiers. If the elite of the Qiang nationality form a shield array and advance steadily, the miscellaneous soldiers rely on the previously dug trenches or follow the elite shield array.

Ji Chang hesitated and asked, "are they going to attack?"

The number of times that can be called the total attack in the past half a month is not small, but Yao Yizhong will dispatch large-scale elite for the first time, which has to confuse Ji Chang.

Liu Yan looked up at the sky and looked at the position of the sun. It should be already time (9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.), and he really couldn't rule out the possibility of Yao Yizhong launching a general attack.

About the attacking Qiang troops pushed within 150 steps from the Han Army camp in the face of the arrow rain, and the other directions also shouted loudly, so Liu Yan had to be cautious.
