Chapter 582

The first important thing in the war between the two armies is morale. You can win a small victory before a large-scale confrontation. It will certainly give your own soldiers more confidence. With the spirit in your heart in the next battle, you will be brave to compete for the first.

"Well..." Zhang Chongxi said first, "the scouts found that in addition to the Han Army forward outside the city, the Han Army nearest to Jincheng is more than 30 miles away."

Yi Chuai's face looked happy. When he wanted to say something, Zhang Chong went on.

"If we want to frustrate our spirit, we must use a strong army!" Zhang Chong seemed to ignore Yi Chuai's desire and stopped, and told the left and right: "lead Suofu out of the city to fight. If the enemy shrinks and defends, or the enemy withdraws, you can't pursue too much."

Suofu is very similar to Xie AI. They are both representatives of the Confucian generals of the Liang state of Zhang. The family itself is also a distinguished family of Zhangye. His troops were transferred back from the western regions and absorbed many cavalry from the western regions.

The city gate in the East was wide open. A middle-aged man in white robes and black armor came out first. Behind him was the flag carrying officer carrying the "rope" flag, followed by a string of light cavalry.

Zhong Xing saw Zhang's cool army open the gate and rush out of the cavalry. Then he saw the enemy general's flag and asked to the left and right, "who is this general?"

Wang Yong replied, "it should be Suofu in Zhangye?"

Zhang's Liang army will not be able to leave the city in a moment and a half. The cavalry who went out of the city first jumped into the open space for slow cruising. They were not only warming up the horses, but also waiting for the robes behind them to come out.

In response, the Han Army sounded a "roaring" war drum. Soon, some troops came out of the camp under construction and formed a team in the open space in front of the camp.

"Worthy of being a strong army sweeping Zhuhu, the response is so rapid!" Yi Chuai suggested to Zhang Chong: "general Suo's headquarters is only 5000. Why don't you lead the headquarters out of the city, so you can plunder the array for him?"

Zhang Chong stared at Yi Chuai and nodded behind him: "since general Yi has this intention, Ben Taishou naturally promised."

Yi Chuai immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

After Yi Chuai left, a scholar frowned at Zhang Chong and said, "Lord, since you know that Yi Chuai has a different heart, why don't you take it at one stroke or remove the military power?"

Zhang Chong's family is a local snake in Jincheng, not a new boss. There are many people in the city. Even if they can't get evidence, they will always find some clues.

"Don't blame him." Zhang Chong said slightly: "the country is in a difficult situation and there are strong enemies coming to invade. It is natural for all families to find a way back. Although the generals are city guards, they do not have the power of arbitrary power. They have different intentions, do not have the evidence, and can only sigh?"

The scribe gave a low sigh.

At present, Zhang Zuo is in power in the Liang state of Zhang, and Zhang Zuo is not a wise man. On the contrary, he is narrow-minded and vengeful.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang Chong being the governor of Jincheng, but Zhang's family in Jincheng is not Zhang Zuo's camp, and Zhang Chong is not Zhang Zuo's confidant. The reason why Zhang Chong can be the governor of Jincheng well is that Zhang Zuo knows the important influence of Zhang Chong's family in Jincheng.

The beating of war drums soon sounded above the city head, which was not only a drum for Zhang's cool army, but also a signal of attack.

Sofu's headquarters took nearly two quarters of an hour to get out, and they still need to spend a little time organizing the team.

Yi Chuai went out of the city after Suofu's headquarters, and did not merge with Suofu's headquarters after going out. He was divided into two batches, one into the corridor and the other far behind Suofu's headquarters.

The Han Army camped six or seven miles away from Jincheng and removed the fortifications around the wall of Jincheng. Should the open space between the two sides be about five miles?

"There must be a Han Army General on the hill." Suo Fu raised his hand and pointed out the location of Zhong Xing. He said to the left and right: "send out people to go. If you can't catch them alive, kill them."

Zhong Xing and others, who were on the hill, soon found that the enemy had left the brigade and came to them. Of course, they would not stay in place foolishly, turn over and mount their horses and gallop towards the main army.

Zhong Xing was not in the headquarters, and Xie Ziyu, a colonel, led the army to the war.

"General? Will you send someone..."

"No, it's not appropriate to act rashly at this time."

Yi Chuai was not so stupid. In full view of the public, he sent someone to contact the Han Army General. He squinted at the advancing Han Army, looked back at the city tower, and made up his mind either not to move or to decide the world in one fell swoop.

The Han army sent out a combination of walking and riding. The infantry formed a square array and steadily advanced. The cavalry walked slowly on the left and right wings. In front of them is Zhang's Liang army, which has no formation, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer.

A horn was suddenly sounded, and Suofu's headquarters was divided into two in a flash. It looked that the Western cavalry were sent out to try to attack the left wing of the Han Army, and the headquarters kept a distance from the Han army.

The race in the western regions is very complex. There are white people with blond hair and blue eyes, and yellow people with yellow skin, black hair, brown eyes and distinctive facial features. Although the latter is a yellow race, it is very different from the people in the Central Plains in appearance. It is generally characterized by a high nose bridge. It is considered to belong to the West Asian race (that is, the appearance of the later ah 1 Fu 1 Khan people).

"It's creaking. At first glance, it's a cheap species in the western regions." Xie Ziyu waved: "solve them!"

In fact, the Han army only had 3000 men and horses. The left-wing cavalry immediately broke away from the army and rushed straight to the attacking cavalry of the western regions.

When charging, the cavalry in the western regions will shout in various languages. When there are many languages, it will be chaotic. They will continue to play with the machetes in their hands. Some western people who are aware of their good equestrian skills will do all kinds of fancy but meaningless actions on their horses like acrobatics.

"Wind, wind, wind, wind!"

"Shoot!!!"

The Han Army had a crossbow. In every battle, it must first ride a crossbow to open the way. Liu Yan shouted the slogan.

Lao Mozi has made a film, which is also the first milestone in Chinese history with an investment of more than 100 million. Regardless of the plot and the acting skills of the actors, the most impressed audience will probably be the archery slogan of the Qin army.

Of course, Liu Yan knew that the "wind, strong wind" was designed by an old counselor, but it sounded really powerful. In addition, it had the effect of coordinating shooters, so it was promoted in the army.

After a leap in the air, the five hundred crossbows and arrows fell down like rain. In the front of the Western cavalry who shouted blindly, the people and horses who were hit by the arrows made all kinds of painful sounds, and all kinds of people turned upside down.

"Han Army, charge!"

"Hey!"

The five hundred Han cavalry who formed the front arrow array, the cavalry in front of the charge leveled the lance in his hand, and the cavalry immediately behind him replaced it with a bow and arrow.

Western cavalry was not the first army to encounter the construction of Chinese civilization. They were conquered by Zhang's Liang army. The characteristics of the troops in the western regions are probably the fighting habits of horse thieves. To put it bluntly, they are forced by the weak and ferocious, and by the strong.

About 800 Western cavalry soldiers were constantly shot by the head-on arrows. More than 100 people were finished before they contacted the Han army. Listening to the neat battle number of the Han Army and looking at the rapid charging posture, they were divided into parts without saying a word. In short, they were scattered and fled.

"Cheap seed is cheap seed, vulnerable." Xie Ziyu said that, but he didn't look frivolous. He issued a new order: "the right-wing cavalry left the array to cruise, and the infantry moved forward steadily."

Under the influence of Liu Yan, the Han state has always had the concept of Han supremacy, especially the military, which is most deeply affected, and there is a mentality of contempt for foreign races.

There are good and bad ways to look down on aliens. The advantage is that you can not be afraid when facing the alien from your heart. You will naturally feel that you can teach the alien how to behave every minute. The disadvantages are also quite obvious. It will form a narrow thinking and suffer great losses when it is careless. But on the whole, cultivating national pride is more good than bad.

The Han Army, which defeated the cavalry of the western regions, did not pursue the defeated soldiers, but detoured a little closer to Suofu headquarters.

Suofu didn't seem surprised that his Western cavalry were vulnerable. The only pity was that the Han Army didn't pursue. His original intention was that once the Han army pursued the fleeing cavalry of the western regions, he would immediately lead the army to rush up.

"The Han army is not as arrogant as imagined." Suofu saw the Han cavalry cruising on the left and right wings, and the Han soldiers marching steadily on the front. After a low sigh, Suofu shouted, "the whole army retreats!"

On the other hand, Zhang Chong took a panoramic view of the battlefield situation, saw Suofu leading the army to the city, and saw that the Han Army stopped in place and did not continue to approach. He also gave a low sigh.

"It is said that the Han army was arrogant, but it was said to be wrong." The scholar's name was Huang Yan, and he belonged to Zhang Chong's staff. He said, "Lord, general Suo just asked those people from the western regions to withdraw as soon as they explore. Is it... To preserve their strength?"

"The enemy has no flaws at all. Unless our army comes out in large shares, it will be difficult to take advantage of it." Zhang Chong now pays more attention to: "I thought Yi Chuai would pick up the plane and approach, trying to contact Han Jiang, but I didn't expect to calm down."

Yi Chuai led the army out of the city. The headquarters did not leave the fortifications around the city too far at all. They only made coordination when sofu led the army to withdraw.

Huang Yan said, "since general Yi is out of the city, why don't the Lord order him to stay outside the city?"

"Order him to stay outside the city and the fortification will be controlled by him. Do you want to hand over the right to guard the city gate?" Zhang Chong shook his head slowly and ordered the messenger next to him: "he ordered Yi Chuai's headquarters to stay in the corridor. He was a deputy general, but he should go back to the city and follow Ben around. At the same time, he informed Suo Fu that his headquarters did not have to go back to the city, and he was also taking over the important task of fortification command outside the city."

Huang Yan's eyes lit up and asked, "the Lord wants to frighten the snake?"

In aristocratic family politics, only the aristocratic family who controls the military power will have the right to speak. Without the army, he will lose his claws and teeth. No aristocratic family will easily hand over his military power. Of course, Yi Chuai is no exception.

Yi Chuai's approach is very straightforward. He takes back as much as he takes out of the city without receiving Zhang Chong's order. He also wants to have a good wording before seeing Zhang Chong. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chong doesn't mention that crop at all.

[Zhang Chong's actions must have been defeated. He doesn't know the exact evidence because of Zhang Chong's habit. He will only be wary and won't do it...] Yi Chuai stands behind Zhang Chong and has long had insight into Zhang Chong's bodyguard warrior. He looks at the back of Zhang Chong's head: [a gentleman can be bullied. If someone doesn't get the evidence, Zhang Chong won't be angry again.]

There is a saying that the whole body is moved by one hair. Yi Chuai is not the only one who secretly knows the melody of the Han Army in Jincheng. This is not only easy to guess, but also Zhang Chong, as the main general, must have noticed it. Well, unless it can be done at one time and there are no future problems, for example, there will be no chaos after killing or capturing the person involved, otherwise it can only be endured.

The two sides conducted a test and ended with the death of one or two hundred people from the western regions.

In the back, of course, Zhong Xing will not attack the city. He waits for the camp to be established and sends out a large number of cavalry teams to investigate the surrounding areas of Jincheng and harass nearby non local areas.

Four days later, Xie an led the main force of the headquarters to Yingpan. When the whole army was stationed, he personally asked about the situation.

"Fortifications are dense around the city, and the enemy troops are stationed in fortifications. Many defenders are stationed." Zhong Xing said everything about the situation around Jincheng for Xie Anshu, and then talked about others: "Jinxing county and Guangwu county also found a large collection of Liang troops."

The capital of Zhang's Liang state is guzang, which is less than 400 miles away from Jincheng. Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi are currently in guzang. The main gathering point of Zhang's Liang army returning to the east from the western regions is also there.

Jinxing county and Guangwu county are not very important counties in Zhang's Liangguo. There are only three cities, which shows the importance of Jincheng.

For Zhang Liangguo, Jincheng is an important town that cannot be lost. Once Jincheng falls, the invading enemy should face a flat plain, which is equivalent to guzang, the capital of Zhang Liangguo. There is no danger to defend in the East.

Before the rise of Liu Yan, Shijie Zhao invaded Zhang Liangguo many times. The tug of war between the two sides was in Guanzhong. The only time Shijie Zhao Jun approached Jincheng was to make Zhang Liangguo crazy and assemble heavy troops to the East. From here, we can imagine how important Jincheng is to Zhang Liangguo.

Han Army leaped over Jincheng and explored further west. It found that Zhang's Liang army was massively gathering, but the specific number was not mastered.

According to the information system of the Han Dynasty, Zhang's Liang army in the western regions is constantly moving eastward, and a large number of people in the western regions are also forced to fight eastward. Therefore, it can be judged that Zhang's Liang country wants to gather the strength of the whole country to resist the invasion of the Han army.

The situation depends on the first World War. It is naturally the best if it can be done, especially for the Han country with multi-line operations. Xie an is a man with a strategic mind and can distinguish the light from the heavy.

"Since Jincheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we simply won't attack." Xie an's words made all the people in the Chinese Army stunned. He asked his staff to spread out the mountain map and said in a very stable tone: "our army is less than 80000. There are nearly 100000 garrisons in Jincheng, and there are cool troops gathering in the rear of Jincheng. We were going to attack the cool troops in the assembled wilderness first to see how Jincheng garrisons react."
