The 226th chapter is not like people raised
With dense feather arrows falling from the rocks, flying ladders forcibly boarded the head of Lueyang City. A warrior of Jin army bit his weapon and climbed up quickly. Behind them, a large ladder truck with as many as eight were also rumbled and rushed towards the Lueyang City Wall, which was only more than four meters high.
The Lueyang Han army, which could not retreat or dared to retreat, had less than 3,000 people, could only grit their teeth and slash the enemies who rushed up the city wall with a desperate move, and roared and smashed the Sheephead Stone as accurately as possible at the enemy on the ladder. At the same time, despite the soreness of his arms, he shot the rockets at the ladder truck that poses a huge threat to the city wall, and fought a desperate battle with the Jin army.
Wei Guan, who was ordered to lead the siege, came to the front line to command and supervise the battle. Anyone who had timid retreated, Wei Guan's personal soldiers would go up immediately, and without saying a word, he would stab the deserter and force the soldiers of the Jin army to attack the city with all their might at any cost. On the road not far away, more than 70,000 Jin troops were on high alert and ready to fight the Han army from the south at any time.
In order to force the main force of the Han army to fight, the Jin army of Wei Guan's troops used twelve points of strength to attack the city fiercely. Even the senior generals with titles rushed to the city to participate in the siege. They also successfully inspired the soldiers of the Jin army to continue to attack the small city of Lueyang. The warriors of the ant support climbed to the city many times, and the large ladder trucks also leaned on the city walls one after another with the thick smoke of fire, forcing the Han army soldiers to block the road to the city with flesh and blood.
However, even so, Chen Qian was still not satisfied with Wei Guan's troops. He sent orders to Wei Guan several times, requiring Wei Guan to continue to strengthen the attack, forcing Wei Guan to directly use more than 10,000 troops to siege the small city of Lueyang, which is only a few miles away, and also issued a death order to generals at all levels, and never withdraw troops until the city is destroyed!
In view of the fierce offensive of the Jin army, Mao Jing had to lead his personal troops to the city to assist in the battle again, and had to give up command and personally wield his sword to kill the enemy. At the same time, Mao Jing not only did not worry about the excessive amount of the Jin army's troops, but also hoped that the Jin army could send more troops to participate in the siege, because Mao Jing knew that the more troops the Jin army used to fight against Lueyang, the easier the main force of the army would be in the coming decisive battle.
During this period, Chen Qian looked at the way to the south with a gloomy face, and was extremely eager for the main force of the Han army to send troops as soon as possible and to fight with the self-army earlier. However, what disappointed Chen Qian was that more than an hour had passed, and there was no news of the main force of the Han army being dispatched from the south.
"General, it's already half over the silence hour. Why hasn't the main force of the bandit army been dispatched yet?" Sima Jun asked worriedly: "Will the main force of the bandit army really ignore Lueyang?"
"Don't be anxious, wait patiently." Chen Qian replied expressionlessly: "There is a lot of food in Lueyang City. In order not to give us the opportunity to replenish local supplies, Zhang Zhi's thief will definitely not really give up Lueyang."
"But there are many casualties on the side of the governor Wei." Sima Jun reminded: "This kind of strong attack that does not distinguish between primary and secondary is destined to be impossible for a long time."
"There are most casualties and you have to continue fighting!" Chen Qian answered firmly and said, "Only when Lueyang really threatens, Zhang Zhi's rebel will send troops."
Chen Qian's cold decision naturally destined to be even more tragic and bloody in the offensive and defensive battles in Lueyang. Under the pressure of the Jin generals, the Jin soldiers kept moving forward like crazy. Almost every ladder was covered with Jin soldiers in black uniforms, and the relatively open ladder truck was even more crowded with people. The soldiers in front fell down, and the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward on the corpses of their companions, and they cut and stabbed the Han soldiers who blocked the intersection with red eyes, completely ignoring that the ladder under their feet had been burned by the fire and might collapse at any time.
The thousand elite Han troops left to Mao Jiong again exerted the effect of the Dinghai Dinghai Spike. They ran around to put out the fire in units of fifty people, killed the soldiers of the Jin army who had gathered in groups on the city many times, and seized the positions on the city that the soldiers of the Jin army had finally seized. Even if they were injured and shot in the fierce battle, they would never retreat, just like moving iron walls, standing in front of the Jin army.
When noon was approaching, with the passage of physical strength, the Jin army's siege was significantly slowing down. In helplessness, Wei Guan could only ask Chen Qian for reinforcements. Chen Qian hesitated when he heard the news and had to worry about the transfer of a large number of troops to participate in the siege. If the Han army suddenly launched a decisive battle, the situation would be detrimental to the self-arms. However, seeing that Wei Guan's army was indeed exhausted, Chen Qian planned again and again, he still transferred 10,000 troops to Commander Wang Hun, asking him to replace Wei Guan's army to continue siege.
You cannot give up. Giving up means that all your efforts are wasted. Only by truly attacking the city with all your strength can you force the Han army out of the nest to fight to the decisive battle. Chen Qian thought so in his heart.
After the rotation of the new force to attack the city, the Jin army's offensive naturally became much more fierce again, but it was useless. With the help of the advantage of the city wall, the Han army soldiers who had no way to retreat still firmly blocked the attack of the Jin army's new force. Even though the Jin army successfully climbed the city one after another, they never gave the Jin army a chance to gather on the city wall. At the same time, Mao Jiong kept shouting, "Hold on! Hold on to me! The more intense we fight here, the more confident we will be to defeat the thief army in a decisive battle!"
It was finally here. Because it took time for the scout to deliver the message, Chen Qian did not know that the Han army was already lined up to gather and was about to set off north, so Chen Qian finally began to panic and said in his heart: "Isn't it really not to come?" If the main force of the thief army really didn't come and we couldn't conquer Lueyang, then wouldn't we have a big loss today?"
Chen Qian was anxious, but he didn't know that in his army, many soldiers from Longxi from Jin were actually more anxious than him. At least one soldier from Shangqi, named Wang Heng, was constantly stretching his neck and looking at the way south. He also said anxiously in his heart: "Hou General, why haven't you come yet? Haven't you come yet? I used to have concerns, but now you have recovered Shangqi, I have no concerns anymore."
The anxious waiting finally came to a result. After a while, a scout finally ran to Chen Qian, bringing news that the main force of the Han army had already been gathered. Chen Qian was relieved when he heard the news and quickly shouted: "I'll send the order to the entire army, just say that the main force of the thief army is on the way north, asking our soldiers to prepare for the battle and prepare to fight the pseudo-Han thief army to the death!"
The order was conveyed. After hearing this news, Wang Heng was so excited that he wanted to cheer, but he never thought that a soldier from Jin army was rushing to the Tianshui accent and shouting: "Long live! Later..., the pseudo-Han thief army finally arrived! Strike the thief army and capture Zhang Zhi alive!"
"Strike the thief army! Capture Zhang Zhi alive!"
Many soldiers of Jin army also shouted. In order to vent their excitement, Wang Heng also shouted loudly, "Stamp the thief army! Capture Zhang Zhi alive!"
Such slogans also caused a chain reaction, and soon countless Jin soldiers shouted in unison. Chen Qian was overjoyed from a distance and couldn't help but say to Sima Jun: "Okay, our morale is very high, and this battle is sure."
Sima Jun nodded and suggested, "General, since the bandit army has been led out by us, let's give up the attack, gather all the troops, and take the initiative to go south to fight the bandit army to the death."
Considering that the tough battle is much more difficult than field battles, and in order to have enough troops to be available, Chen Qian quickly nodded and adopted this suggestion, quickly ordered the siege to give up the siege, quickly reorganize the team, and then took the initiative to lead the army with a number of 90,000 to head south and face the Han army northward with a fierce momentum. During this period, the Jin army's troops were of course always shouting the slogans of striking the Han army and capturing Zhang Zhi alive.
Advance head-on, of course, the decisive battle of this day broke out early. Just after walking south, the Jin army met with the 50,000 Han army who were striding northwards, and then gained the previous experience of the decisive battle. Due to the narrow terrain between the east and west, Chen Qian once again set up a fish scale formation to meet the enemy, and also allowed the core backbone of the Jin army to be in front of the iron armored soldiers, preparing to offset the elite vanguards of the Han army.
Of course, the Han army was a cone-shaped formation that remained unchanged for thousands of years. The elite Han army led by Wu Ma also took the lead in charge again as the cone-sharp charge. However, what surprised Zhang Zhi was that the formation had just been arranged, and the Jin army actually beat the advancing drum first and rushed towards the Han army's position. Zhang Zhi laughed and said, "I'm very brave and dared to take the initiative to charge. It's better, this battle is more certain."
At the same time, Chen Qian also explained to Sima Jun and others why he took the initiative to rush forward, saying: "I have learned about the past and after the decisive battle with the bandit army before. We have repeatedly defeated decisive battles. Except for Wang Chen's command mistakes, the other decisive battles were all defeated by being too conservative, and adopted a defensive trend, giving the bandit army the chance to take the lead. So this time we must take the initiative to attack and use the offense to inspire our morale, so that we can be sure to win in this decisive battle."
The cruel fact quickly swelled Chen Qian's old face. He rushed to the front and back of the Han army's formation under the dense rain of arrows. Before the front team of the Jin army launched a charge, the sound of cannons sounded in front of the Han army. Fifty wide-mouth cast iron cannons exploded one after another, shooting countless iron slags and sharp stones at the Jin army soldiers.
There were too many iron slags and sharp stones. Even if the front teams of the Jin army were all wearing armor, they could not resist the iron slags like hail raindrops. Before the two armies had joined forces, hundreds of Jin army soldiers had already covered their heads and faces and fell to the ground and rolled and screamed. Chen Qian, who had fought with the main force of the Han army for the first time, was shocked and said in his heart: "Is this the spit artillery of the thief army?"
"Don't be afraid." Chen Qian quickly comforted himself in his heart: "The soldiers in the front row are veterans of Yuzhou. They are not only well-equipped, but also rich in experience. They are elite soldiers who have been trained in many battles with the rats in the East Wu. They will definitely be able to successfully kill the front team of the defeated thieves."
At this time, the Han army formation suddenly sounded the advancing drum, and the huge cone formation slowly moved forward like an arrowhead, taking the initiative to face the Jin army front team that was close to him. Chen Qian also quickly stretched his neck to watch the battle situation ahead, and said in his heart: "The soldiers of Yuzhou must be good for me."
The front team of the Jin army was indeed successful. Although hundreds of people were killed by the Han army with shotguns as soon as they came up, the soldiers of the front team of the Jin army still roared and rushed towards the front team of the Han army, struggling to stab the spear, and using all their strength to kill the Han army soldiers.
The level of success of the Jin army's front team ended here. Seeing the Jin army soldiers rushing towards him, the Han army's front team, who were also in battle, were just a group stabbing, and hundreds of Jin soldiers immediately screamed and fell into a pool of blood. At the same time, these Jin soldiers from Yuzhou could not believe that the Han army's spears could be so sharp and tough that they could easily penetrate their iron armor.
It was too far away to see the specific situation. Chen Qian only saw the soldiers in Yuzhou who had high expectations from afar, like moths flying into the flames, rushing up one after another, and suddenly falling to the ground one after another. Chen Qian's eyes could not help but widen. Sima Jun next to him shouted directly: "What are you doing? Why are our soldiers so unbeatable and die so quickly?"
Indeed, the elite Han army soldiers wearing double armor and holding oil-quenching weapons were generally expressionless. They were mechanically just flat-end spears and then stabbed them vigorously. The movements were as simple and skillful as usual daily training. The sharp oil-quenching spears easily broke the armor, like skewers, piercing the Jin soldiers through the chests and bodies, like killing machines, easily slaughtering the Jin soldiers rushing towards them. In just a moment, the front team of the Jin army was cut off.
"Don't panic." Chen Qian wiped a cold sweat to comfort himself, and said intimately: "The second team is the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty drawn from Huainan. They have fought many battles with the Eastern Wu army in Hefei over the years. They have more experience and will definitely be able to kill the front team of the defeated bandit army."
Unfortunately, the fact is just the opposite. Although I don’t know how many battles I fought with the Eastern Wu army in Hefei, after encountering the Han army’s elite who were physically abnormal and equipment ahead of the era, the second team of the Jin army was still killed and overturned to the ground by the Han army soldiers. The Han army’s cone tip and battle formation still advanced forward briskly, quickly tearing apart the second team of the Jin army and continuing to advance towards the hinterland of the Jin army’s fish scale formation.
"Don't be afraid, the third team is the Jingzhou Army. The Huainan Army is good at defending the city, but the Jingzhou Army is good at field battles." Chen Qian wiped his sweat again and thought to himself: "The Jingzhou Army only easily repelled the two attacks of the Eastern Wu two sides. He has experience and morale, and he will definitely be able to kill the front team of the pseudo-Han thief army."
Ping Ping, in just a moment, the third team of the Jin army was also pierced by the tip of the Han army, leaving behind corpses all over the ground. The remaining soldiers were forced to separate to the sides, unable to respond to the left and right, and then they were separated by the continuous stream of Han army brigades.
"Xuzhou soldiers, look at you." Chen Qian almost cried out and wailed in his heart: "You must block the thief army. Don't forget that you bully the Eastern Wu army in Xuzhou, and you have always been like adults bullying children."
No, this time, the Jin army in Xuzhou was bullied by the Han army like a child. However, this is a natural thing. The Eastern Wu army was a famous rookie in the Three Kingdoms period. The Jin army in Xuzhou also had the advantages of height and physique in front of the soldiers in Jiangnan. Of course, it was easy to fight the Eastern Wu soldiers who could hardly attack.
However, the Han army was different. Not only were they all raised by junk food, but they were still elite soldiers who had learned from countless actual combat battles with the Jin army's Western soldiers and the Central Army. Their infantry combat capabilities can definitely be considered the best in the world. Taking away the Xuzhou Jin army, which only bullies the Eastern Wu rookies, is naturally as easy and simple as the Xuzhou Jin army bullying the Eastern Wu soldiers.
This of course led to the rapid defeat of the Jin army in Xuzhou. In just a moment, the front team of the Han army cut off the Jin army in the middle and rushed towards its old rival, Yongliang Jin army - the Western Route Army of the Jin army, which had been beaten by the Han army so much that it was forced to reorganize.
At this time, something that no one expected happened. Before the Han army could join forces with the fifth team of Yongliang Jin army, countless shouts were already heard in the Yongliang Jin army, "We lost, run away!"
As he shouted, countless soldiers of Jin army abandoned their weapons and fled in the east and west directions. Wang Heng, the soldier of Shangji, who is also one of the old opponents of the Han army, was of course among them. While running desperately, Wang Heng also shouted excitedly in his heart, "Instant noodles, lunch meat, braised pork, I'm here! After being a prisoner thirteen times, Naiweng can finally join the Han army with confidence and boldness this time! Later, General, I surrender, surrender, I will work hard for you!"
The Han army was already frightened by the unstoppable force. When he saw countless companions suddenly fleeing, the Yongliang soldiers of the fifth and sixth team were naturally in chaos. As soon as the Han army front team was attacked by the opportunity, the Yongliang soldiers had completely collapsed and fled in an instant. When Zhang Zhi saw the opportunity coming, he also decisively ordered: "Beat the drum, general attack!"
After the general attack drum was beaten, the Han army soldiers immediately moved forward with all their might and rushed towards the Jin army crowd like a tide. The Jin army, whose morale had been severely affected, was completely in chaos. There were countless timid fleeing people. The soldiers who fought stubbornly were quickly chopped and stabbed by the elite Han army rushing to the front. The Han army soldiers were as motivated as rainbows, with red eyes just forward to kill the enemy. They then broke the two horizontal teams of the Jin army, pointing directly at Chen Qian's commanding flag.
"I lost so quickly?"
Looking at the soldiers running around with a tongue, Chen Qian was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes. Although Chen Qian had deduced that the Jin army might suffer a defeat before this, Chen Qian never dreamed that his own army would lose so quickly. In just over half an hour, the 90,000 Jin army was defeated like a mountain, and he lost so much that Chen Qian could not believe that all this in front of him would be true.
"General, don't be stunned, run away!" Sima Jun suddenly pulled Chen Qian and shouted anxiously: "We have lost, please withdraw quickly."
