Chapter 82 The Battle of Jinyang

Not yet. <warm feeling.

Teams of soldiers hurried out from the pass, shouting noisily, passing by Lu Yao in disorder.And Lu Yao looked back, his face livid.

Two hours ago, they rushed to Tuanbai Valley along the dragon boat water, but the journey was not smooth.The ferries conscripted by the Jin army were all useless old goods. On the way, two boats fell apart and three boats leaked.This not only led to arriving at Tuanbai Valley more than half an hour later than expected, but the number of people was only about [-] for the time being.Many of them were exhausted from fighting the wrecked ships, and collapsed on land.

Lu Yao originally planned to use the dangerous terrain of Tuanbai Valley to ambush the Xiongnu. This idea is really good, but the soldiers are in such a low state, how can they fight.Seeing that the Hu army is approaching, the military situation is urgent.He had to lead his own soldiers to the pass of Tuanbai Valley first, leaving the others behind to rest for a while.

The name of the guard of Tuanbaigu is Wang Yan.This person was originally the leader of the Wang family trilogy in Qi County. After leading the Wang family's private soldiers to join the army, he was appointed Cao Shi, the county soldier, to lead a number of soldiers to maintain the law and order in Qi County.When the Xiongnu invaded this time, he led more than [-] local soldiers to guard the regiment's Baigu pass.Those township soldiers lacked training and their combat effectiveness was extremely suspicious, so a few days ago Lu Yao called the team leader Fei Cen to lead [-] soldiers to assist them.

There used to be a rammed-earth pass in Tuanbai Valley, but in the past few years, it has been abandoned due to war and fire, leaving only a foot-high platform in place.When Lu Yao led the army south a few days ago, he had ordered Wang Yan to urge the villagers to rebuild the pass as soon as possible.However, due to time constraints, so far, only three wooden fences have been erected on the slope in front of the pass, and the trenches that should be dug in front of the wooden fences have not yet started.Just halfway through the restoration work on the main body of the pass, a large amount of wood was piled up at the mouth of the valley.

"Why are you moving so slowly?" Lu Yao asked with suppressed anger.

"General Lu, the brothers have been rushing to work day and night, but there are only so many people in total, and the workload of the pass is huge. Besides, the enemy is coming too fast." Wang Yan replied with a helpless expression on his face.

Lu Yao glared at him, then turned to ask Xue Tong: "When will the brothers from the rear team arrive? You send someone to urge Shen Jin. If I miss something, I will cut off his head first!" Most of the time, the general in charge of the army is most anxious. Although Lu Yao tried his best to be calm, he couldn't hold back sometimes.

"Half an hour. Daoming, at most half an hour, the brothers will be able to arrive with the whole army, and they can go into battle immediately." Xue Tong assured the ticket with confidence.

And Lu Yao could only bow his head and sigh, will the barbarians give us half an hour?

He stomped his feet heavily: "If you really can't make it in time... well, I can only try my best for a while."

Since the situation is like this, there is no need to complain too much, the left and right are just fighting desperately.Lu Yao immediately summoned all the officers and key soldiers present at the scene, and prepared to assign tasks.

He broke off a dry branch and drew the terrain of Tuanbai Valley on the ground.When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Wang Yan and several people rushing past him in a hurry, two people in a group, each carrying a big black urn.

This person has [-] soldiers under him, although they are all miscellaneous soldiers who lack combat effectiveness, but the current situation still needs him.Lu Yao was about to use him, so he also called his subordinates to discuss together.Unexpectedly, this man has no military discipline, so he ignored the general's order and was busy moving those useless things instead!

"Wang Bingcao!" Lu Yaoda was furious, frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Wang Yan shivered, and quickly said with a smile: "General Lu, this is the flax oil that the head of the family likes to eat. It is rumored that it is used for frying, and it has a strong aroma. This thing is squeezed out of white flax. It's just one tank, very precious. These tanks are all newly produced this year, and they are temporarily stored here because of the bad roads. Don't be surprised, General Lu, since there will be a war in Tuanbai Valley, I will lead someone to take these tanks of sesame oil Transported to another place for placement..."

The enemy is now, why are you still thinking about flax oil!Lu Yao couldn't help but collapse.

Three o'clock in the future.

Xue Tong and dozens of subordinates were still busy around the pass, while the soldiers under Wang Yan and the hundreds of people under Lu Yao who had arrived at Tuanbai Valley earlier were mixed together, and the formation had already been completed.Relying on the terrain between the high cliffs on both sides and the wooden fence, the infantry with a total of 500 people was divided into three teams.The first two and the last one, the finished fonts are arranged.Each team formed a dense phalanx with crossbows, spears and short weapons, and Lu Yao sent three team leaders Xu Mu, Yang Ruo, and Fei Cen to command.Lu Yaoren led his cavalry to support him.

Once the formation was settled, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and several Wuhuan scout cavalry suddenly appeared from the end of the road.After discovering the Jin army array, they slowed down and moved laterally about 150 steps away from the army array to see the reality of the Jin army.At the same time, they made strange wailing noises, and made various movements of swinging knives and chopping on horseback to show their bravery.

This caused the infantry facing the Wuhuan people to shudder for a while, only to calm down again after being sternly reprimanded by the officer in charge.These mobilized soldiers were all private soldiers of the Qi County family, and individually, a few of them were quite brave.But in Lu Yao's eyes, they lacked the necessary discipline and combat coordination, and they could only be described as mobs.

Half an hour later, heavy footsteps sounded in the distance, which was the arrival of the main force of the Hu people.

Generally speaking, unlike the Jin army, which pays attention to fighting in formation, the Hu people's infantry are usually crowded in a random way, and they appear to be messy both in offense and defense.But the barbarians who appeared in front of Lu Yao at this moment clearly formed a clear queue.They marched in a team of 400 to [-] people at a leisurely pace.Except for a team of cavalry scattered in the tall grass on the left and right wings of the official road, the rest of the teams kept a good distance and moved forward sequentially along the official road.In the middle of the march, there was no chaos at all. From a distance, it looked like a giant python winding its way along the undulating mountains, with a murderous aura rushing toward its face.

The soldiers and horses of the Hu people stopped when they were about [-] steps away from the Jin army.Then it extends to the two wings until it connects with the high ground.Thousands of soldiers lined up, with spears and halberds like forests, people like tigers, and horses like dragons, making the Jin army's scarce soldiers and horses pale in comparison.

In the Central Army, instead of the former champion General Qiao Xi's military flag, there is a simple flag with no official position on it, only a "stone" written in ink.

After Qiao Xi, it was a Jie man named Shi Le who quickly took command.In just three to five days, he had integrated the Huns army that was torn apart after Yu Qiao Xi died in battle.And his actions are methodical, which is far different from those messy beards at the beginning!

"Shi Le is so good at running the army, he will definitely become our enemy in the future!" Lu Yao sighed.

In the hundreds of years of war between the Hu and Han tribes, the Han people have never been the disadvantaged side.Even in the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Wei was still able to drive Liaodong and conquer Wuhuan at the end of the battle at Bailang Mountain.However, since the reign of the dynasty, they have been slack in military affairs and their armaments have been slackened. Whenever there are border conflicts, they have been bullied by foreigners several times.Most of the remaining elite force was lost in the civil strife among the clan kings.Based on what Lu Yao has seen and heard over the years, there are very few high-ranking officers in the imperial army who are truly resourceful and decisive, and have the talents of generals.

But the Hu people are not. They are light-hearted and willing to die. They are born brave warriors, and they use nomadic and hunting customs to sharpen their military skills.Although the number of Hu people is much smaller than that of Han people, they have far more people who are capable of conquering battles than Han people!Take this Jie man Shi Le as an example. It is said that this man was just a humble shepherd slave at first, but he was able to respond to the situation and lead a group of bandits across the north and south of the river.And his display of cunning and fierce tactics in the past few days has also made all the generals of the Jin army deeply fearful.

He changed his mind and couldn't help sighing again.

Shi Le!The fear that this name brought to Lu Yao is actually far beyond what others imagined.In Lu Yao's previous life, he didn't need to have much historical knowledge, as long as he had read the popular science book "Up and Down 5000 Years", most of them would have remembered this name: the founder of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Later Zhao; In the first year, he finally crossed Yanzhao and annexed a generation of heroes from Han and Wei; he started as a slave and finally became the post-Zhao emperor Shi Le who almost unified the entire northern China.

Shouldn't such a character be the last Daboshi to appear?The order of appearance is probably out of order, right?

Lu Yao shook his head, driving away the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind.He said to a soldier beside him: "Go and urge General Xue to get ready as soon as possible!"
