Chapter 79 The Battle of Jinyang

If you look down from a high altitude, the entire battlefield looks like a huge vortex in the center of Jiexiu City.Batch after batch of elite soldiers lined up from the barracks in all directions, charged towards Jiexiu, and retreated after failing again and again.Countless shouts of killing, sounds of weapons colliding, countless curses, wailing, and panting gathered into a rushing torrent, which was thrown from all around to the center of the unfathomable vortex, and then it was swallowed and disappeared without a trace.

In sharp contrast to this battlefield of fighting and fighting, it was thirty miles west of Jiexiu City.

There is a formidable barracks there.A total of [-] troops were quietly stationed in it.No matter how fierce Jiexiu's offensive and defensive battles were, they remained unmoved at all, like a ferocious monster ready to go.

Flying cavalry were sent out from time to time on the battlefield to report the battle situation to the barracks in the west like flowing water:

"Report, our army launched an offensive for the fourth time today, using [-] troops to attack Jiexiu from east to west!"

"Report, our army used ladders to fly directly to the city wall. Wu Ya General Liu Qin led 300 dead soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp knives, to rush into the city and kill the enemy soldiers!"

"Report, there is a general from the Jin Dynasty who wielded a pair of iron halberds and fought against General Liu Qin. This man is extremely brave. General Liu's offensive was slightly frustrated, but he was wounded and never retreated, and his spirit became stronger!"

"Report, Jin general Lu Chang poured fire oil on the flying building, and then ignited it with rockets. General Liu had no choice but to retreat. Three hundred dead soldiers, more than [-]% died in battle!"

"Report, the Jin people dug a secret door in the city wall. The halberd-wielding general led a hundred strong men to protrude through the secret door. He made ten swings and ten decisive battles, and burned more than [-] ladders. Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties!"

"Report, the general with the halberd went around the city to fight. Our army tried to stop us, but the horses stepped on the battalion. Nine people died in the battle with more than a hundred generals! He was stabbed to death, and the rest of the crowd scattered!"

"Report, General Wu Ya Liu Qin mobilized more than a thousand spearmen, surrounded the enemy generals holding halberds layer by layer. The enemy generals shouted loudly, dismounted their halberds and fought, cut off more than a hundred spears in an instant, and killed the generals There are countless soldiers! General Liu was almost injured by his flying halberd, unable to fight any more, so he had to let him go back to the city!"

The military newspapers came one by one, and every time one was reported, there was a sound of gasping in the camp.At this moment, there was no sound in the entire big tent, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! My army of the Huns has been fighting north and south for several years, and has destroyed everything. Now it can't do anything to Jiexiu, a tiny place? Could it be that the wolves in the desert only dare to catch sheep, but dare not confront the beasts? What?" The person who heard the report laughed back in anger, and angrily waved his arms and slapped the table, making a loud bang.

Dozens of people in the tent prostrated themselves in the tunnel together and said, "The Great Chanyu appeases his anger, the Great Chanyu forgives his sins!"

The person who is angry and shoots the case is eight feet and four inches tall, with a magnificent appearance, a dignified appearance and a beautiful beard, and he is not angry and majestic.It was the Shanyu of the Xiongnu, Liu Yuan and Liu Yuanhai, king of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yuan was the grandson of Yu Fuluo, Shanyu Shanyu of the Huns in the Later Han Dynasty, and the son of Liu Bao, the virtuous king of Zuo.Legend has it that Liu Bao's wife, Huyan family, went to Longmen of the Yellow River to pray for a son during the Jiaping period of Cao Wei. Suddenly, she saw a big fish with two horns on top, dancing in the river water where the sacrifice was held for a long time before leaving.That night, Huyan dreamed that the big fish he had seen during the day turned into a human being, and he handed something to Huyan and said: This is rijing, and he will give birth to a precious son if he obeys it.In the following thirteen months, Huyan's family really gave birth to a son, and the birth was even more miraculous: there was a word "Yuan" in the natural script on the left palm, so it was named Liu Yuan.

In the first year of Yongxing, Liu Yuan proclaimed himself King of Han, and raised troops against Jin. Since the uprising, his army has conquered south and north, and has been invincible.

At this moment, Liu Yuan was furious, walking back and forth in the dome.There were dozens of generals on both sides of the dome, most of them were trembling and sweating profusely.

Liu Yuan pushed open the door of the felt tent and looked into the distance. The sunlight shone into the tent, making the few strands of white hair on his temples very eye-catching.Perhaps the sun was too dazzling, Liu Yuan frowned, turned around and walked into the tent.Although he is still energetic, he is 62 years old after all.The fate of the Xiongnu family rests on him, which occasionally makes him feel powerless.

Everyone thought that the Xiongnu Han Dynasty dominated the north and south of Bingzhou, invincible, threatening Luoyang, as if swallowing mountains and rivers.However, Liu Yuan himself is very clear: when the Huns were in their heyday, they occupied the vast land of thousands of miles north and south of the desert, and controlled millions of people.But today's Xiongnu power is confined to Bingzhou, and their household registration is less than one-tenth of what it was back then.If it weren't for the efforts of Yu Wei and Liu Yuan people for hundreds of years, even the surrounding Zahu tribes would not be able to give orders.

Although the state of the Jin Dynasty is declining, it is orthodox after all; even though it has suffered repeated setbacks, it is still a colossal opponent compared to the Xiongnu.For three years, the Xiongnu attacked from all directions, but as soon as the soldiers and horses retreated, the Jin army made a comeback, and they couldn't take a piece of territory.In the late autumn of last year, he finally defeated Sima Teng and took Bingzhou completely. However, before he got it warm, Liu Kun led a surprise army to sneak over from Shangdang, and took back the northern part of Bingzhou in World War I. It is really annoying. <Ji came to take Taiyuan, but it was actually a helpless move.Sima Yue, king of the East China Sea, is now extremely powerful, with all the military affairs of the imperial court in his hands.He stationed heavy troops in Xuchang, Yecheng, Luoyang and other places, and sent his troops northward in the next quarter in an attempt to reverse the situation in the northern part of Bingzhou.

According to the best plan, the Xiongnu army should rely on its superiority in strength to make a quick battle, with Huyanyan attacking the strategically important Jiexiu along the way, Qiao Xi and Huyanhao each going north, and Liu Yuan leading the main force In response, according to the development of the situation, he went into battle and defeated Liu Kun's regime in one fell swoop.But who would have thought that although the Jinyang army under Liu Yueshi's command was small in number, they were so brave and good at fighting that tens of thousands of troops were blocked by a mere Jiexiu!

"I received a report in the early hours of the previous day that the champion general Qiao Xi was attacked by the Jin army Qingqi at night and was killed by the enemy general Lu Yao. Today, some Jin people regarded our army as nothing, and jumped into the siege of the city; Wu Ya General Liu Qin was hindered by an unknown general, and my army was defeated!"

Liu Yuan walked back and forth a few times, his anger subsided, and he stopped suddenly and sighed: "Among the Jin people, there are so many heroes!"

There was silence in the yurt, and no one dared to answer.The Xiongnu have been invincible since they started their army, and all the generals have developed the habit of keeping their eyes above their heads.These words are like an insult to them who are extremely arrogant.The fact is so, and it is irrefutable.All the generals looked at each other with resentful expressions.

Liu Yuan pondered again: "I haven't heard of this Jin army warrior holding a halberd a few days ago. Could it be that he just pretended to be my Hun noble and sneaked into Jiexiu City? Hehe, right Yulu King, your golden crown, The sash has caused a lot of trouble for our army."

The so-called Right Yulu King is Liu Jing's title of King of the Huns.A few months ago, he was beaten by Liu Kun until he fled Jinyang in embarrassment. He didn't even have time to take away his beloved gold crown, sash and other things.Unexpectedly, today was used by the people of Jin to disguise themselves and deceive many camps.

Liu Jing hurriedly went out to bow down, without saying a word, just kowtowed again and again.His forehead hit the ground, making a thumping sound.He is one of the sixteen great chieftains with the title of king among the Huns, and he is more brave to gallop on the battlefield and invincible. Therefore, when the Han Dynasty was established, he was appointed as the general of Jin; Liu Kun has not lost much of his reputation.But such a person is like a running dog in front of Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan lowered his head to look at Liu Jing who was kneeling at his feet, and said embarrassingly, "Stop lying on your stomach, you bring 3000 troops to support Huyanyan, and beat me seriously!"

"Respect!" Liu Jing replied loudly.He bent over and bowed, not daring to raise his head; he stepped backwards out of the big tent, and only then mobilized his troops and roared away.

"He Tuyan!"

"The last general is here!" Fu Han General He Tuyan came out.He Tuyan was about [-] years old, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, ape arms and a wasp waist, looking heroic.He is the general in charge of sentry and reconnaissance, and the elite Qingqi under his command has already been dispatched to report the military situation around the clock.

"How is the Jin army moving?"

He Tuyan replied: "Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, has already dispatched troops. He personally led the main force of the Jin army of more than [-], and hurried south along the west side of Zhaoyu Qi; at this moment, he should have passed Pingtao and is about to cross Fenshui. General Hu Yanhao's troops It is about to come into contact with them. The vanguard cavalry of the Jin army crossed the front of our army and frequently moved from Zishi to Zhongyang. There were more than a thousand soldiers from the partial division of the Jin army confronting the troops led by the Jie man Shi Le."

"It's so fast!" Someone said in surprise.

The speed of the Jin army going south was indeed very fast, but within three days, it was already approaching Xicheng.Xicheng is only a hundred miles away from Jiexiu, and cavalry can reach it in half a day by galloping.This situation has already forced Liu Yuan to react.

Liu Yuan returned to his seat and called out: "Chen Shilang, please bring me the map of the region."

A middle-aged civil servant with a handsome appearance walked forward quickly, removed the scrolls on the case table, and laid out a huge map instead.Seeing that the tent was a little dark, he lit two more candlesticks and placed them lightly on the left and right sides of the table.

This civil official is Chen Yuanda, the servant of the Huangmen of the Huns and the Han Dynasty. He is deeply trusted by the King of Han. Although his official position is not very high, he is in charge of a huge secret spy network and participates in many secret and important affairs. He is by no means comparable to ordinary courtiers.And he was an imposing servant of the Huang family, and he actually did these things that belonged to the servants himself. All the generals knew in their hearts that what Da Shanyu was going to say next must be very important.

After Liu Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture of please, all the generals stepped forward one after another and gathered in front of the table.

This is a rather detailed map of Bingzhou.It can be seen from the map that the entire Bingzhou roughly presents a slightly inclined quadrilateral.Many mountains are interlaced among them, and rivers such as Fenshui and Zhangshui run among the mountains, connecting multiple basins in series.

Among them, the area controlled by the Huns and the Han State spanned the three counties of Xihe, Pingyang, and Hedong, and only the Baili Queshu Valley, which flows through the Fen River, could pass between Taiyuan and Taiyuan.And in the north of Queshu Valley, there is also the vast water surface of Zhaoyuqi across.Such terrain left the Xiongnu army with almost no room for maneuver, and had to attack fiercely along the way.That's why tens of thousands of troops were blocked in the small city of Jiexiu, and they were in a dilemma.

Liu Yuan stared at the terrain on the map, and said calmly: "Everyone, Liu Kun's troops are really good at fighting, and they are different from Sima Teng. But the changes in the battle situation are still within my expectations. The way of walking avoids heights and goes down, the shape of soldiers avoids reality and strikes empty; Take defeat and die!"

Liu Yuan nodded slightly to Chen * Yuanda, and then tapped the cinnabar pen in his hand on a place on the map, and the big drop of color immediately melted on the map.I saw the crimson color dripping thickly, like bloodstains.
