Chapter 208: Crying Post
When Kebineng's defeated army returned to his royal tent and told him the story of the battle, Kebineng was speechless.
He had long known about the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and now that Gongsun Zan appeared here, it meant that Gongsun Zan was definitely defeated.
A defeated army could easily defeat his own people, which made Ke Bineng somewhat speechless. And his understanding of the Han army deepened a bit.
Later, when he learned that Gongsun Zan was heading directly towards Bingzhou, Kebi Neng decisively acted as an ostrich.
Without Ke Bineng's obstruction, Gongsun Zan's speed increased a bit.
Two days later, Gongsun Zan's troops arrived at the outskirts of Jiming Station at the westernmost end of Jizhou.
At the forefront is still young general Zhao Yun.
Since Zhao Yun had experienced a battle with Yuan Shao, and had killed Qu Yi, led Zhao, and defeated Zhang He and Jiang Yiqu, Gongsun Zan directly handed over Baima Yicong to Zhao Yun's leadership.
At this time, Zhao Yun was still serving as the vanguard of the entire army.
"General Zhao! The scouts from the front came to report that Jiming Post, twenty miles away, was besieged by barbarians! It is in danger!" Zhao Yun's deputy general came to Zhao Yun and said to him.
"Jimingyi was besieged by someone? Do you know who it is?" Zhao Yun frowned when he heard the deputy general's words.
"Go back to the general, look at the flag, it seems to be Bu Dugen's men." the deputy general said succinctly.
"Bu Dugen? Why is he here?" Zhao Yun frowned.
"This subordinate doesn't know." The deputy general spread his hands and said that he didn't know either.
When Zhao Yun heard the deputy general's words, he began to struggle. Logically speaking, Jimingyi is the boundary of Jizhou and belongs to Yuan Shao.
He, Zhao Yun, was a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, so he and the defenders of Jimingyi should be considered enemies.
But the problem is that the people attacking Jimingyi now are Xianbei Hu people, and this has turned into a battle between the Han people and the Hu people.
"General, what should we do now?" the deputy general asked, looking at Zhao Yun who was thinking deeply.
The deputy general has been following Zhao Yun for a long time, and he naturally understands Zhao Yun's thoughts. So he wants to remind Zhao Yun that if he wants to rescue Jimingyi, he must hurry up, otherwise Jimingyi will not be able to last long.
When Zhao Yun heard the deputy general's words, he immediately thought of something. The lord turned in this time, but under the banner of being ordered to fight against Hu.
But now that I have encountered a barbarian, if I don't save him, I can't possibly be justified.
"Come here, send a message to the lord, saying that we met Bu Dugen's spies and found that they are attacking Jimingyi."
"The general has already led people to the rescue. Please send reinforcements quickly, my lord!"
"Promise!" The deputy general heard Zhao Yun's words and quickly agreed.
When the deputy general left, Zhao Yun immediately ordered all his troops and headed towards Jiming Post.
The Xianbei people who were besieging Jimingyi at this time were Xieguini sent by Bu Dugen to encircle them.
At this time, Xie Guini looked at the Xianbei army that had rushed towards Jiming Post with a sneer on his face. He was in a very good mood at this time.
As an important border defense town in the north of Jizhou, Jimingyi has 10,000 county soldiers all year round.
However, the gap between county soldiers and conventional frontier troops is still quite large. They are equivalent to line soldiers.
The reason why county soldiers were sent to guard Jimingyi was because Yuan Shao transferred all the elite soldiers who originally belonged here.
Since Xie Guini had fought against the Han army at Yanmen Pass before, he knew the strength of the Han army very well.
It can be said that if the Han troops at Yanmen Pass had more supplies, more numbers, and were younger, even if the Black Mountain Army did not disrupt the situation at the end, they would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to capture Yanmen Pass.
Therefore, Xie Guini was already prepared to attack Jimingyi this time, thinking that he would pay a huge price here.
After all, in terms of the terrain being dangerous, Jimingyi is definitely more dangerous than Yanmen Pass.
To put it bluntly, Yanmen Pass is actually a pass built on a mountain ridge, with cliffs on both sides making it impossible to walk.
Therefore, if you want to attack Yanmen Pass, you must first climb the mountain and then attack along the ancient road.
In other words, if you want to go to Yanmen Pass, at least there is still a way to go.
Jimingyi is directly on a hill, and a fortress was built on the hill. There is only one small road leading to Jimingyi, which can only accommodate three people walking side by side.
This kind of terrain, if nothing else, as long as a group of soldiers guard the passage with powerful crossbows, no one can get up.
Therefore, when Xie Guini attacked Jimingyi, he was already prepared to pay heavy casualties.
But after the attack actually started, Xie Guini discovered that the Han army stationed at Jimingyi was pitifully weak.
When these Han troops saw the Xianbei warriors rushing over, they were all frightened and ran around.
Even the most important passage up the mountain was not guarded, allowing the Xianbei warriors to directly touch the city wall of Jimingyi.
Subsequently, the Xianbei warriors launched an attack directly on the city wall.
But even at this point, the arrows shot from the city wall were still weak and sparse.
Not even one-tenth as brave as the Han soldiers at Yanmen Pass.
Soon the Xianbei warriors rushed onto the city wall and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.
At first, Xie Guini thought this was all a ruse of the Han army, but by this time, no matter how stupid Xie Guini was, he knew that the Han army was not a ruse, but really weak!
As the saying goes, if you are sick, you will die. Xie Guini will not let go of this opportunity, and will directly let people continue to attack, trying to capture Jimingyi before the sun sets.
Not long after the order to Xie Gui Ni was issued, he suddenly saw a patch of dust appearing in the east.
Based on Xie Gui Ni's many years of experience, he immediately knew that there was definitely an army of ten thousand people to the east, approaching him quickly.
A sneer appeared on Xie Guini's face. He felt that he had seen through the Han army's plan. This sudden appearance of the army was definitely the Han army's reinforcements.
And this, Xie Guini felt was reasonable. After all, Jimingyi was also a fortress. It was impossible for there to be only such a few weak soldiers stationed there. It was normal to have an ambush.
However, what can happen if there are ambushes? Judging from the scale of these ambushes, they are only ten thousand people.
In addition, this group of Han troops left Jimingyi and lost the protection of the city wall. He now still has 80,000 Xianbei warriors in his hands.
Eight versus one is a field battle. Xie Guini feels that I have the advantage in this battle!
So, without even thinking about it, Xie Guini directly led 50,000 troops to fight against the group of Han reinforcements.
With this purpose in mind, Xie Guini and Zhao Yun's men quickly approached.
On Zhao Yun's side, when he saw that the barbarians who were besieging Jimingyi divided their troops to come to trouble him, a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face.
"Brothers, follow me to defeat the enemy!" Zhao Yun shouted, then directly hung the spear in his hand on the saddle, and drew out his precious bow.
When the two sides quickly approached to a distance of only 300 meters, Zhao Yun drew out a spiked arrow and aimed it directly at a barbarian who was rushing at the front.
Then Zhao Yun directly summoned up his spiritual energy and drew the bow string.
Chapter completed!
