Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 195 Abandoned Huai County

After the ship approached the city wall, the ballista installed on the deck began to harvest the lives of the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty on the city wall.

The crossbow machine was originally the killer move of the Han people, and the intensive firepower is enough to make any enemy terrified.

Song Jun was also annoyed by Tan Daoji's strategy in the past few days. Now it was the time when he could no longer bear it, and they set up ladders on the deck and went straight to the city wall.

The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the city include Han people and Hu people. Most of the Han people recruited locals to serve as county soldiers. They only received a few days of training. How can they compare with the Song soldiers who have experienced many battles?Take weapons at will to parry a few times before fleeing.

Although the Hu people are ferocious and experienced, their advantage lies in galloping in the wilderness together with the horses, rather than fighting the Song army on the narrow city wall.

In contrast, Song Jun.

This is completely their home field.

Formation in threes and fives, each standing in a good formation is like a bloody flower blooming among the enemies.

Xi Jin thought that the Han people fought fiercely, but he didn't know how powerful this race would be when it was united.

Just as in the "Book of Songs", there is a complaint about war, "The road is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, and I don't know I am sad!"

But there is also the generous battle song of "I don't have clothes? I am in the same robe with my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my spear. I have the same hatred with my son!".

Only a nation with reflection can persevere to the end, and a nation with contradictions can bear the most brilliant fruits.

This point is really hard to understand for the Xianbei people who were still drinking blood a hundred years ago.

But they don't need to understand.

They just have to face their failures!
The Song army attacking from the battleship quickly took control of the wall, which gave Xi Jin a blow.

"Defend the enemy! Follow me to defend against the enemy!"

Xi Jin snatched the servant's sword and was about to fight towards the city wall, but was hugged tightly by his own soldiers.

"My lord! Our army is still behind! The soldiers in the city have all gone to the ferry! My lord, don't fight with the Song army here!"

The soldiers of the Xianbei nobles are basically their own nephews, and they all have a certain understanding of military affairs.

Now that the main force in the city was mobilized, Tan Daoji used a strange trick to capture one side of the city wall, forcing the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty to fight the Song army in the street.

The current Song Army infantry is almost invincible in the world, and the winning rate of fighting the Song Army in the city is almost less than [-]%.

It was even said that Xi Jin was still in the city.

If Xi Jin was killed by the Song army or simply captured alive, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the current Northern Wei Dynasty.

The soldiers obviously wouldn't say this to Xi Jin, but just hugged him tightly to calm Xi Jin down.

"open!"

Xi Jin felt uncomfortable being hugged. Seeing that the soldiers still didn't let go, he could only say in a compromised tone: "I know! Let's withdraw now! It's just Huai County, it's no big deal."

Hearing this, the soldiers let go and let go of Xi Jin.

Xi Jin stretched his muscles a few times, forcing himself to wake up.

It's just a city.

But there is no need to put yourself in it.

What matters now is not Huai County, but the cavalry sent out.

As long as the city is occupied by the Song army, it is fine, and the cavalry must not lose.

After deliberating for a moment, Xi Jin walked out: "Prepare the horse! I'm going to meet up with the soldiers who left the city, and then retreat to Yecheng."

It was not Xi Jin's plan to entangle with the Song army in Hanoi County.

The original plan should be to let the Song army enter Hebei from the west, and then Xi Jin mobilized Hebei cavalry to besiege the Song army on the plain.

The reason why he came to Huai County was because of Tan Daoji's letter of alienation.

Divorce letter...

Xi Jin's face turned purple at this moment.

He had reason to suspect that perhaps the letter was not addressed to the family in Hanoi County at all, but to him.

The purpose is to transfer himself from Yecheng, which is located in the middle of the plain, to Hanoi County, which is close to the big river.

If so...

That Tan Daoji is too scary!

Because Liu Yu's prestige was too high, the light of other Liu Song generals was more or less blocked by Liu Yu.

Zhu Lingshi and Wang Zhen'e were at least credited with destroying the country.The Northern Wei Dynasty had a general understanding of their style.

Tan Daoji is different.

Although he was reused by Liu Yu, his sense of presence has not been very high.

This caused Xi Jin to have a deep misunderstanding of Tan Daoji's strength.

If it was Zhu Lingshi or even Liu Yu who came to attack Huai County this time, Xi Jin would never be so careless.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

Huai County is one of the few towns with military defense on the north bank of the Dahe River. If it is lost here, the Song Army can drive straight to Hebei.

but……

Isn't that exactly what the Northern Wei Dynasty was looking forward to?

Before Liu Song hoped to trap the Northern Wei Dynasty in the mountains of Hedong and Bingzhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty also hoped to use cavalry to solve Liu Song in Hebei.

This defeat might be a good thing for the Northern Wei Dynasty!
After figuring this out, Xi Jin no longer entangled, but took the troops in the city to meet the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty at the dock.

At this time, Zhu Chaoshi at the dock relied on Tan Daoji's strategy to harvest a wave of heads, leaving at least more than 200 soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is said that they still have their horses.

It's a pity that Zhu Chaoshi doesn't have war horses, otherwise the pursuit can definitely expand the results of the battle.

"pity."

That's the disgusting thing about cavalry.

Basically unbeatable on the plains.

Even if you can beat it, you can't catch up.

In Hebei, only cavalry can deal with cavalry.

"It would have been nice if this battle had been fought a few years later."

Hu Xia's mutual market in Guanzhong brought a lot of war horses, and Zhu Chaoshi also got a lot of glory, and now he has three hundred war horses like treasures in his hands.

If there are a few more years, Zhu Chaoshi can save thousands, or even thousands of war horses.Why are you so frustrated now?If you win, you won't get any loot.

"Don't chase after poor bandits, go and make peace with General Tan first."

In any case, Huai County, an important town on the north bank of the great river, was beaten down by the Song army.

This means that the Song Army has a base on the north bank of the Dahe River, and does not need to huddle in the port as before and rely on the Queyue formation and warships to meet the enemy.

Moreover, both the Hedong and Hebei fronts have made progress, which greatly improved the morale of the Northern Expedition.

After Zhu Chaoshi came to Huai County, he and Tan Daoji reported the battle situation to Liu Yu in Luoyang. Liu Yu was overjoyed when he learned that Huai County had been captured, and immediately sent another [-] soldiers to Hanoi, trying to build it into a place for the Song Army in Hebei. bridgehead.

Naturally, this matter was also reported to Jiankang.

After receiving this news, Liu Yizhen, who had been worried all the time, also felt his heart sink.

In any case, Liu Song's current comprehensive national strength, general quality, and soldier status are all better than those of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It is not as expected by Liu Yizhen that he has the upper hand in the early trials.

"Print the battle report to reassure the people!"

As long as the Song army continues to win like this, the rear will naturally be stable, and Liu Yu on the front will not have to worry about it.
