Chapter 1984

Rest time is not long, there are spies behind the quick horse return, said the Zhen army has been chasing up. Chen Lihua's face suddenly changed. She didn't dare to delay any more. She ordered the whole army to continue their journey.

When they passed the Wan'an Valley, it was already dark. Seeing that the Sichuan army was going to cross the valley directly, Tang Yin shook his head again.

He had a good impression of Chai song and deliberately pointed out to him: "general Chai, Wan'an Valley is a precipitous place rarely seen. As long as a small group of troops occupy the peaks on both sides, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, it is difficult to pass through Wan'an valley."

His implication is straightforward enough to remind Chai song that it is time to quickly divide some troops to serve as the dead men and occupy the mountains on both sides of the Wan'an valley. Even if they can't kill many Zhen troops, they can at least drag the speed of the Zhen troops to chase them down.

But Chai song obviously didn't understand what he said. Instead, he mocked Zhen Ren for his thoughtlessness.

He nodded his head and snorted coldly: "yes, although the rebels have by chance defeated our army this time, they have not considered that our army will withdraw from the Wan'an valley. If the Zhen army can set an ambush here in advance, our army will really be destroyed."

Tang Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes. Zhen people didn't think of it. Can't you think of it now? He sighed and said no more.

To make a long story short, Tang Yin and others followed the Sichuan army all night, and finally arrived at Jinsha city in the early morning of the next day. Chai song originally wanted to invite Tang Yin to travel with him, but he politely refused. Before the Sichuan army fled Jinsha City, Tang Yin left with Qingyu and Cheng Jin.

After a few days, Tang Yin and his party returned to Shangjing.

At the same time when Tang Yin returned to Shangjing, the tenth Legion led by LV you just arrived in Zhenxi. Then, the Zhen army regrouped and gathered the garrisons from all over the country, and soon formed a large army with a force of 250000.

Only in this short period of more than one month, the rebel forces led by Li Shu had a great reputation. The people of Zhenxi came to vote one after another, and their strength grew rapidly. Their strength also expanded from the original 70000 to 80000.

In addition, thanks to the secret aid of Fengguo, the Zhen army is rich in money and food, and its armaments are in good order. In addition, due to Yin Li's rule of the army, the present Zhen army has a completely new feeling, which is not the same as that of the former rebel army.

Under the command of LV you, the Sichuan army fought three large-scale battles with Zhenjun in Zhenxi. However, although the Sichuan army did not lose in the three wars, it did not take advantage of it. The Sichuan army and the Zhen army entered a short-term stalemate in Zhenxi.

Her own army was not able to fight the rebellion in Zhenxi, which made the rebel forces more powerful. The court of Sichuan also felt a headache. However, Xiao Xiang sent Yang Zhao to Zhenxi with the third and fourth regiments to Zhenxi, forming an attack against the rebels with LV you.

The third and fourth regiments under the command of Yang Zhao can be regarded as the core corps of the Sichuan army, and its combat power is among the best in the whole Sichuan army. At this moment, Xiao Xiang sent Yang Zhao out. It can be seen from it that she is really in a hurry and is very dissatisfied with LV you who is fighting in front of her.

Yang Zhao and LV you, two famous generals of Sichuan, joined hands to wipe out the rebels. The total number of troops under their command exceeded 400000. They thought it was a sure battle, but they were defeated in the first confrontation with the Sichuan army.

At present, the forces of the rebels are still compressed in Bainan County of Zhenxi. After arriving in Zhenxi, Yang Zhao led his troops to fight with LV you and attack Bainan county.

More than 400000 Sichuan troops were coming fiercely. When they first entered Bainan County, they were irresistible. The main force of the Zhen army did not dare to resist its edge, but retreated again and again. Finally, the main force of the Zhen army retreated to Baiyang county.

Li Shu led the Zhen army to retreat to Jinsha City, but Yin Li, as the commander-in-chief of the Zhen army, ran away. He did not want to escape. He felt that the current strength of the Zhen army could not resist so many Sichuan troops in any case. The only way to win was to ask for help from outside.

But the only thing that can help them now is the state of Chi Yue, which borders on Zhendi.

Yin Li decided to go to the state of Chi Yue to rescue himself. Before leaving, he specially told Li Shu that he would spare no effort in this trip. At the latest, in January or half a month at the earliest, he might bring back the reinforcements from Chi Yue.

For Yin Li's words, Li Shu believed it was true, and clapped his chest to guarantee that he would lead the Zhenjun soldiers to defend Jinsha city for a month.

Of course, there is a reason why Li Shu is so confident. First of all, Jinsha city is the place where the Zhen army hoards food and grass. There is nothing else in the city, that is, there is enough food and grass for more than 100000 Zhen troops in a month. Secondly, Jinsha city is a big city with strong city defense, which is easy to defend and hard to attack. There is also a very important point. In the past, the Zhen army captured a lot of large-scale equipment when fighting with the Sichuan army. Now it can be used in the city defense, and the defense becomes easier 。

After Yin Li left, the Zhen army led by Li Shu began to wait in Jinsha city for a long time. Li Shu was looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping for the reinforcements of Chi Yue. As a result, before the reinforcements arrived, the Sichuan army led by Lu Yushou came first.

After LV you led his army to Jinsha City, he did not do much rest, so he ordered the whole army to launch an all-round attack on Jinsha City, and the bloody battle in Jinsha began.At this time, there were 250000 Sichuan troops attacking and more than 100000 Zhenjun troops guarding the city. There was no big difference between the forces of the two sides. After the battle started in full swing, the Zhen army defending the city was relatively relaxed.

The Sichuan army's fierce attack lasted three days and nights. After three days of fighting, the city defense of Jinsha city was still strong and could not be broken by the Sichuan army. Unable to attack for a long time, Lu you had no choice but to suspend the attack.

Seeing that the threatening Sichuan army was finally defeated by its own side, the morale of the Zhen army was greatly encouraged, and the morale reached its peak.

In order to celebrate his side's defeat of the Sichuan army's strong attack, Li Shu also specially held a celebration banquet in the city to reward the brave soldiers and soldiers in the city.

Two days later, the third and fourth regiments of Sichuan, headed by Yang Zhao, also arrived in Jinsha city and joined LV you's army.

Knowing that the main force of the rebels is in Jinsha City, and Li Shu, the leader of the rebels, is also in the city. Yang Zhao is ecstatic. He immediately summons people to all places in Zhendi, and sets a task for the county heads. Whether it is taking the local army to make up the number or forcibly pulling the Hundred Surnames of Zhen people as strong men, Yang Zhao must deliver the source of troops within the date specified by him, Those who can finish the task on schedule will inform the imperial court to give them a reward. If they can't finish the task on time, they will be dismissed from office and sent to prison for questioning.

Yang Zhao is much more tough than LV you. He is vigorous and resolute.

According to the law, even if he is a senior military officer, after all, he belongs to the military and can't control the local officials. However, he thinks that he will not accept the orders of the emperor outside. He can temporarily enforce the power of the imperial court and forcibly order the local government to provide convenience for him.

Officials from all over the country did not dare to disobey Yang Zhao's orders. The county leaders gathered the local army of the whole county. If the number of soldiers was not enough, they would take the prisoners from the prison. If it was not enough, they would use slaves and labor. If it was not enough, they would have to catch Zhenren people to be strong men.

In a short period of one month, Yang Zhao squeezed 200000 troops from the government of Zhendi county and mobilized them to Jinsha city in Baiyang county. At this time, the number of Sichuan troops outside Jinsha city was no longer 400000, but expanded to over 600000. With so many soldiers and horses, Jinsha city is surrounded by three layers, three layers outside. It's impossible for a mouse to get out of the city, not to mention that people can't get out.

Of course, there was too much water in the "local army" that Yang Zhao later recruited. There were not many real soldiers. Most of them were prisoners, slaves and chaste people. They were forcibly captured and naturally resented the Sichuan people. They couldn't really help the Sichuan people fight the rebels. However, it was as expected by Yang Zhao, and he didn't expect these people to rise To what extent, as long as the number of people, strong momentum, and easy to use cannon fodder when attacking the city, they will have completed the task.

After gathering more than 600000 troops, Yang Zhao immediately ordered the whole army to attack Jinsha city on all sides. Now the Sichuan army's offensive is quite different from that of LV you at that time. At that time, only 200000 people attacked. Now, the number has tripled. Standing at the head of the city, you can hardly see the ground. All you can see is the Sichuan army. It's dark and dense. It's like a leech ant. Just looking at the overwhelming array displayed by the Sichuan army, they have won 60% or 70%.

When the attack started, the central army of the Sichuan army did not lean forward at all. All the local army rushed in front of it, while the central army stayed behind and pressed the array of arrows. The archers headed forward. Their arrow array was aimed at Jinsha city and at the local army who fled back.

Under the overall command of the army of Sichuan and Jinsha, they launched a full-scale attack against Jinsha city with zero casualties.

He did not expect the local army to break through the city defense of Jinsha city. As long as he could consume the strength and combat power of the rebels, no matter how many people were killed or injured by the local army, it was worth it.

On the surface, Yang Zhao's skill is both clever and vicious. He is totally using Zhen people to beat Zhen people. No matter how heavy the casualties of both sides are, it seems that they have nothing to do with them. In fact, his tactics are drinking poison to quench thirst. Zhenren's resentment against the Sichuan people is deep enough. Now he uses this method to make Zhen people kill each other, which will only make the people of Zhen people have a lot of resentment against the Sichuan people Reach the limit.

On the battlefield, the most pitiful thing is that those "local troops" who have been forcibly recruited have to retreat, be shot by the central army of Sichuan, move forward, and fight against the compatriots guarding Jinsha city. It can be said that they are in a dilemma. However, there is no time for them to hesitate on the battlefield. The arrows flying from the front and rear make them fall in groups.
