V3.Chapter 99

The rest time is not long, and there are spies behind to return quickly, saying that Zhenjun has been chased up. Chen Lihua's face suddenly changed. She dared not delay any more. She gave an urgent order to let the soldiers of the whole army continue on their way.

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

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

The implication of his words was straightforward enough to remind chaisong that it is time to quickly allocate some troops to serve as martyrs and occupy the peaks on both sides of Wan'an valley. Even if he can't kill many Zhen troops, he can at least drag the speed of Zhen troops chasing them.

But Chai song obviously didn't understand what he said. Instead, he laughed at Zhen Ren's thoughtlessness.

He nodded his head, snorted coldly and said, "yes, although the rebels defeated our army by luck this time, they didn't consider that our army would withdraw from Wan'an valley. If Zhen army could set an ambush here in advance, our army would be destroyed."

Tang Yin couldn't help rolling her eyes. Zhenren 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. Chaisong wanted to invite Tang Yin to go with him, but he politely refused. The Sichuan army has not fled Jinsha city yet. Tang Yin has left first with Qingyu, Cheng Jin and others.

There was nothing to say all the way. Soon, Tang Yin and his party arrived in Beijing.

At the same time that Tang Yin returned to Beijing, the tenth Corps under the command of LV you also just arrived at Zhenxi. After that, the Zhen army regrouped, gathered the garrison in various places, and soon formed a large army with a force of up to 250000.

Only in this short period of more than a month, the rebel forces led by Li Shu became famous, and the people of Zhenxi came to invest one after another. Their strength expanded rapidly, and their military strength expanded from 70000 to 80000 to more than 100000.

In addition, thanks to the secret assistance of Fengguo, the Zhen army has sufficient money and food, complete armaments, and Yin Li has a good way of running the army, which makes the current Zhen army feel reborn and refreshed, which is different from the former rebel army.

Under the command of LV you, the Sichuan army fought three large-scale battles with Zhenjun in Zhenxi. Although the Sichuan army did not lose in these three wars, it did not take advantage. The Sichuan army and Zhenjun began to enter a short stalemate in Zhenxi.

The army of our own side was not in a good position to fight in Zhenxi and was unable to put down the rebellion for a long time. On the contrary, the rebel forces became stronger and stronger. The court of the state of Sichuan also felt a headache. Helpless, Xiao Xiang sent Yang Zhao to lead the third and fourth legions to Zhenxi to form a potential of attack against the rebels with LV you.

The third and fourth Corps commanded by Yang Zhao can be regarded as the core corps of the Sichuan army, and its combat power is among the best even in the whole Sichuan army. At this moment, Xiao Xiang sent Yang Zhao out, from which we can see that she is really anxious now, and she is very dissatisfied with LV you in the front battle.

Yang Zhao and LV you, two famous generals of the state of Sichuan, joined hands to destroy the rebels. Their total troops 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 in Zhenxi. After Yang Zhao led his army to Zhenxi, he immediately launched a joint operation with LV you's department and attacked Bainan county with two pronged approach.

More than 400000 Sichuan troops came in a menacing manner. When they first entered Bainan County, they were also unstoppable. The main force of Zhen army did not dare to resist its edge, so it had to retreat again and again. In the end, the main force of Zhen army returned to Baiyang county.

Li Shu led Zhenjun to retreat to Jinsha City, but Yin Li, as the commander of Zhenjun, ran away. He didn't run away, but felt that with the current strength of Zhenjun, he couldn't resist so many Sichuan troops anyway. The only way to win was to ask for help.

But now the only thing that can help them is the country of Yayue, which borders Zhendi.

Yin Li decided to go to the country of tooth Yue to rescue himself. Before leaving, he specially told Li Shu that he would go all out on this trip. He might come back with tooth Yue's reinforcements in January or half a month at the latest.

For Yin Li's words, Li Shu believed them and patted his chest to ensure that it was absolutely no problem for him to lead the soldiers of Zhen army to stick to Jinsha city for a month.

Of course, Li Shu is so confident for a reason. First of all, Jinsha city is the place where Zhen's army stores grain and grass. There is nothing else in the city. It has plenty of grain and grass, which is enough for more than 100000 Zhen's army in January. Second, Jinsha city is a big city with strong urban defense, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also a very important point. Previously, Zhen's army seized a lot of large equipment when fighting with Sichuan army, which can be used for urban defense, It's also easier to defend.

After Yin Li left, the Zhen army led by Li Shu began to wait for a long time in Jinsha city. Li Shu was looking forward to the stars and the moon. He was eager to bring the reinforcements of the tooth Yue. As a result, the reinforcements of the tooth Yue did not arrive, but the Sichuan army led by LV came first.

After LV you led the army to Jinsha City, he did not take more rest, so he ordered the whole army to launch an all-round attack on Jinsha City, and the bloody battle of Jinsha began.

At this time, there were 250000 Sichuan troops attacking and more than 100000 Zhen troops guarding the city. There was no significant difference between the two sides. After the battle started in an all-round way, the Zhen troops guarding the city were relatively relaxed.

The Sichuan army's fierce attack lasted for three days and nights. After three days, the urban defense of Jinsha city was still strong and could not be broken by the Sichuan army. LV you had no choice but to order a suspension of the siege.

Seeing that the threatening Sichuan army was finally defeated by its own side, Zhenjun's morale was greatly encouraged, the crowd was excited, and the morale reached the peak.

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

But it didn't last long. Two days later, the third and fourth corps of Sichuan led by Yang Zhao also arrived in Jinsha city and joined LV Youjun.

Knowing that the main force of the rebels is in Jinsha city and that the rebel leader Li Shu is among them, Yang Zhao was ecstatic and made a quick decision. He immediately summoned people everywhere in Zhendi and set a task for the heads of counties everywhere, whether it was to make up the local army or forcibly pull the hundred surnames of Zhenren as strong men. In short, he had to transport the troops within the date specified by him, Those who can complete the task on time will be notified to the court for a reward. If they can't complete the task on time, they will be dismissed from office and put in prison for questioning.

Yang Zhao is much tougher than LV you. He is resolute and resolute in his work, and his wrist is cold and resolute.

It is reasonable to say that even if he has a higher military rank, he belongs to the military after all and can't control the local officials. However, he believes that he can not accept the orders of the king outside. He can temporarily enforce the rights of the imperial court and forcibly order the local officials to provide convenience for him.

Officials everywhere dared not disobey Yang Zhao's orders. The heads of counties gathered the local troops of the whole county. If there were not enough people, they would take the prisoners from the prison to top them up. If there were not enough, they would use slaves and labor to top them up. If there was not enough, they could only catch Zhen people and make them strong men as Yang Zhao said.

In a short period of one month, Yang Zhao squeezed 200000 troops from the officials of all counties in Zhendi and mobilized them all to Jinsha city in Baiyang county. At this time, the Sichuan army outside Jinsha city was no longer 400000, but suddenly expanded to more than 600000. There are so many soldiers and horses that surround Jinsha city on the inner and outer floors. There is no way out. Let alone people can't get out, even a mouse can't get out.

Of course, there was too much water in the "local armies" that Yang Zhao later recruited. There were not many real soldiers. Most of them were prisoners, slaves and Zhenren people. They were forcibly caught and resented the Sichuan people naturally. It was impossible to sincerely help the Sichuan people fight the rebels, but this was expected by Yang Zhao, He didn't expect these people to play a big role. As long as they were full of people and strong momentum, they could finish the task even if they laid cannon fodder easily when attacking the city.

After gathering more than 600000 troops, Yang Zhao immediately ordered the whole army to attack and besiege Jinsha city on all sides. The offensive of the Sichuan army is very 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 and looking out, you can hardly see the ground. All the places you can see are the Sichuan army, dark and dense, just like leeches. Just looking at the momentum of the Sichuan army, they have won 60% or 70%.

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

Under the planning and command of Yang Zhao, the Sichuan army launched an all-round attack on Jinsha city in the way of zero casualties.

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

On the surface, Yang Zhao's wrist is both clever and vicious. He is completely using Zhen people to fight Zhen people. No matter how many casualties there are on both sides, it seems that it has nothing to do with them. In fact, his tactic is drinking poison to quench thirst. Zhen people's resentment against Sichuan people is deep enough. Now he uses this means to make Zhen people kill each other, It will only make the accumulated resentment of Zhenren people against Sichuan people reach the limit.

On the battlefield, the most pitiful are those "local armies" forcibly recruited. They retreat, have to be shot and killed by the central army of the state of Sichuan, advance, and have to fight against their compatriots who cling to Jinsha city. It can be said that they are in a dilemma, but on the battlefield, they will not have time to hesitate. The arrows flying from the front and rear make them fall to the ground in groups.
