Chapter 166 The two armies meet(1/2)

Outside Guangping City. "8" "Reading "Book, 2■3o⊥

More than 50,000 troops from Shile's troops are stationed here.

Before Shi Le decided to send troops to attack Guangping, he thought that the thousands of beggars in Guangping City would definitely not be able to withstand the full-strength attack of his tenfold army.

However, the thousands of Qihuo Army, which were almost alone, not only resisted the fierce attack of Shile's army, but also remained on the ground for more than a month.

These beggars who were not afraid of death almost made Shi Le want to eat his flesh and blood.

At this time, Shi Lezheng summoned his generals and advisers and gathered in the tent to discuss countermeasures.

A group of vicious warriors and strategists dressed in scholarly clothes were listening to Shi Le's instructions.

"Yesterday, I received a letter from His Majesty from Pingyang, asking us to return to Bingzhou in a month and prepare to attack Luoyang again in the south."

Of course, the Majesty that Shi Le talked about could not be the puppet emperor Sima Chi, but the Huns massacre Liu Yuan.

"So we must destroy the beggars in Guangping City within half a month, so that we can have time to collect Dingkou and food and grass in nearby prefectures and counties."

At this time, the prestige of the Hun Emperor Liu Yuan was soaring. The warlords of Shi Le and other servants were also very obedient to Liu Yuan's orders. If they could not arrive in Bingzhou as the time required by Liu Yuan, they would definitely be criticized and punished by Liu Yuan.

"General, I observed from Wanglou that the fireworks in Guangping City have obviously been much less than before in the past few days. This must be because the begging for work in the city has begun to lack food, so I have to reduce the stove."

As soon as Shi Le finished speaking, his new chief clerk Zhang Bin spoke.

This time, Shi Le captured three counties in Hebei and captured a large number of officials and scholars from the Jin Dynasty. It was Zhang Bin who worked hard to recruit many advisers from these people.

Now, Zhang Bin is second only to the Hu man Diao Ying with his contributions to several suggestions and has become one of Shi Le's confidants.

When Zhang Bin saw everyone looking at him, this feeling made him feel at ease and continued.

"From this point, the Qihuo Army in the city must be at its last moment. Even if there are still stubborn people, it is not a problem. As long as the general sends more soldiers to step up the attack and keeps the Qihuo Army tired of fighting, Guangping will be owned by the general in less than a few days!"

Zhang Bin's words were very in line with Shi Le's wishes. In fact, he already felt that the Qihuo Army in Guangping City was almost exhausted. Today, he summoned the generals to encourage the generals and let them lead the soldiers to fight and exhaust the Qihuo Army's last strength.

"What Zhang Zhuan said is very reasonable." Shi Le immediately made a statement.

But soon, someone expressed his doubts.

"General, our son has been fighting hard for more than a month, and has lost thousands of people. If there are any more casualties, I'm afraid..."

The person who spoke was Diao Ying. The boy he mentioned was the Bingzhou Jie and other Miscellaneous Hu in Shi Le's army. Although there were only more than 10,000 of these people, they were all the foundation of Shi Le. What Diao Ying didn't say in the end was actually just a fear of destroying the Hu soldiers and affecting Shi Le's foundation.

Before Diao Ying's words could be finished, Zhang Bin smiled confidently and quickly continued.

"Diaodan, don't worry, this time, all the Jin people in the army were selected to use the strong Jin people in the army. Our Bingzhou elites first raised their energy. When the Qihuo Army was exhausted, the Bingzhou athletes launched the final attack."

Zhang Bin's suggestion was immediately approved by many Hu generals, and even Shi Le cast a praise look at Zhang Bin.

"But, these Jin people's combat power was too poor. They were slightly shot by the arrows of the Qihuo Army, and they refused to move forward. If we were not the Bingzhou athletes, wouldn't it be useless? Even the Qihuo Army's hair could not be touched. ∝8∝8∝Read∝,◆o+”

The Jin people in Shile's army were quite powerful at the beginning, and they were not weak in the face of ordinary powerful men and Jin army.

But this time, the beggars on the opposite side were so powerful. After several bloody battles, these cannon fodder soldiers were almost scared.

If Shi Le hadn't sent generals and Hu soldiers to escort the formation, these Ding Zhuang would not have even taken a step forward in Guangping's direction.

Diao Ying mentioned this, and he also received the recognition of all the Hu generals. They all said that if Hu Bing did not use the sword to come to the front line to suppress the formation, these Ding Zhuang were all wastes with no intention of fighting. Even if they cut down some laggards, the rest would just move forward two steps.

In this way, we can't cut off all the Ding Zhuang.

"General, the villain has a strategy. You can try it, but you don't know how it works." Zhang Bin said again.

"Oh, Meng Sun should say it's okay." Shi Le was very satisfied with Zhang Bin's state of being full of wisdom whenever he was in war.

"Many of the Ding Zhuang in our army are father, son and brother in the same army. The general can choose such soldiers, leave one person to be hostage in the rear army, and the remaining people are grouped as the selection of the attackers for the attack. If there are those who flee to fight when siege the city, then they will be beheaded. If the city is broken, or if they are killed in battle, then the hostages of the rear soldiers will be released for the people. In this way, if the Dynamo War is afraid of Dynamo War, it means that the father, son and brother will die together, but if they can fight to the death, they may have hope of both."

After hearing this, Shi Le thought for a while and said that Zhang Bin's method was more suitable. After all, the Jin people in his army were forced to conquer along the way. When these Hu people were trying to strengthen the men, they would not care about the three-degree draws one or two-degree draws one. As long as the common people caught were all pulled into the army.

"Okay, I think this method is feasible." Shi Le said that, laughed and began to praise Zhang Bin for having the right to change his plans.

The Hu generals in the tent also thought that Zhang Bin's method was feasible. They all knew that these Jin people paid the most attention to father and son and brotherhood. Sometimes, they threatened their relatives' lives, which was often more effective than threatening them.

However, when the other scholars and strategists in the tent heard Zhang Bin's method, they all looked unbearable. This way, they were despised by the human relationship between father and son and brother.

However, one of them seemed to have no such feeling, but followed closely behind and said to Shi Le with a flattering look on his face.

"General, the villain thinks that when choosing an attacking soldier, among fathers and sons, fathers should be used as soldiers and sons as quality. After all, the love between parents is the most pure, and they will definitely be able to fight to the death."

When Shi Le heard this, he saw that the person who said this was a middle-aged scholar, whose name was Zheng Wen and whose courtesy name was Shida. He was a remote branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang. After being captured in Wei County, he surrendered to Shi Le.

"Hahaha, what Shida said is reasonable, and he is worthy of being a noble family with a clear and human relationship."

Shi Le has always been generous to praise Zheng Shida for a dog slave who is incompetent but can cater to his own wishes. Anyway, it's just a few words that can win the favor of these aristocratic families.

Shi Le then began to prepare and ordered his subordinates Taobao, Diao Ying and other generals to select soldiers in the army, and then they were organized into two armies according to Zhang Bin's method.

However, before Shi Le finished his arrangement, a scout Hu Qi ran in in a hurry.

"General, on the north bank of Zhangshui forty miles south, he found a rafter of unknown origin. He looked like a Qingzhou soldier."

As soon as the scout finished speaking, a noise aroused in the tent.

"What? Are the Qingzhou soldiers again?"

"But Qingzhou soldiers who have used magic tricks in Juancheng?!"

"Impossible. Two days ago, our rafter had not seen a figure in Baigou. How could Qingzhou soldiers cross the Zhang River so quickly?!"

"We have been working hard in Guangping City for so long. If the Qingzhou army raids again, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

When Shi Le heard that all the Hu Han generals in the tent were despairing words, he felt a little angry and was always dissatisfied with his two inexplicable defeats to the Qingzhou soldiers.

He darkened his face, his curly bearded cheeks trembled slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"What a panic! Even if there is a Heavenly Master Taoist magic in the Qingzhou army, I now have Master Zhu Tu from the Western Regions. Master Zhu Tu is a person who has obtained the great way. How can a mere Heavenly Master Taoist magic be able to defeat the boundless Buddhist teachings?"

When Shi Le led his army to plunder Sizhou not long ago, he met a monk from the Western Region who called himself Zhu Tu. This Zhu Tu falcon had a high-eyed and nose. Judging from his appearance, he looked very similar to Shi Le. Moreover, this Zhu Tu master was eloquent and was confused many times. Therefore, Shi Le had already trusted the Zhu Tu master from the Western Regions very much.

After hearing Shi Le say this, the Hu generals who were frightened by the night sky thunder of Qingzhou Army before, calmed down a little calmed down. After all, they saw with their own eyes that Master Zhu Tu can not only cure diseases by Buddhism, but also see everyone's past and present lives. It should be no problem to deal with a Tianshi Taoist magic.

"I'll ask you, how many of these Qingzhou troops are there?"

Shi Le continued to ask the scouts. After all, his army and the Qihuo Army had fought for too long. If the Qingzhou Army had strong strength, he had to evacuate quickly to avoid being picked up by the Qingzhou Army.

"I didn't see that their rangers were very strong, and we dared not take too much risk to move forward."

"Immediately send my order, bring more people, find out as soon as possible if these people are really Qingzhou Army, and find out how many people are there, whether other troops are in coordination, and go quickly!"

After Shi Le finished giving the order, he thought in his mind.

According to his guess, these 800 people were probably Qingzhou troops, and the purpose of this came here was mostly to rescue the Qihuo Army. As for the reason, Shi Le guessed that Qingzhou Liu Fei wanted to seize the population of Jizhou.

......

The next day, early morning.

Liu Yu led the Qingzhou army to a ferry in Mingshui, Guangping County, which is only twenty miles away from Guangping City.

If the weather was sunny in the past, you could see the vague outline of Guangping City when standing at a high place.

More than 10,000 Qingzhou troops had just crossed Mingshui, and the Qingzhou cavalry in front of him had encountered a large number of Hu cavalry thieves.

In fact, the Qingzhou army encountered several Hulu cavalry yesterday and had a small-scale battle, but both sides were cautious and had no results.

By the time both sides stopped, it was already evening.

Therefore, Liu Yu concluded that the real war between the two sides would most likely happen today.

"The command of the entire army will turn into a horizontal formation to take over the enemy and advance slowly!"

If a large number of cavalry appeared in front, Shile's main force would probably follow closely, because according to Ran Long's description, Shile had probably suppressed the Qihuo Army in Guangping City, and would definitely have to dispatch a large army to block the Qingzhou Army.

The terrain near the river beach was too smooth, which was very conducive to the movement of the Hu cavalry, so Liu Yu ordered the entire army to continue to advance to avoid being suppressed by Shile's main force when Shile used the terrain to suppress himself.

As the Qingzhou Army quickly changed its formation, ten thousand soldiers continued to adjust their formations with the order of the drum and trumpet, and soon formed more than ten arrays and continued to advance according to the command of their respective officers.

Soon, in the direction of the Qingzhou army's advance, a black cavalry appeared, which were the Hulu cavalry under Shile's troops.

At the same time, the Qingzhou cavalry in front had to retreat step by step in the face of the Hulu cavalry with an absolute advantage in numbers.

Wu Xin, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry, rode his horse to Liu Yu.

"General, more and more Hu cavalry are coming in front of me, probably nearly a thousand. I have asked the cavalry to retreat a little, so as not to lose their manpower in vain."

"Okay, you lead the cavalry to both left and right, withdraw first and then adjust the formation. If Shi Le dares to fight today and finally capture the prisoners, you still have to rely on you cavalry."

The number of cavalrymen brought by Liu Yu this time was 500. Although they were all Hebei children with bows and horses, the number was still too small, and each one was very precious.

"Subordinate to obey the order!" Wu Xin quickly took the order and led most of the cavalry to repair it.

When the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army retreated, the Qingzhou Army's formation became a racecourse where the Huhu cavalry galloped.

These Hulu cavalry as vanguards only had one thousand men, and most of them did not dare to attack the Qingzhou army that was lined up.

Moreover, when the thousand barbarians approached the Qingzhou Army's infantry and tried to harass them with bows and arrows, they were easily driven out of the range of the bow and arrow by the insurgent bows in the Qingzhou Army before they could shoot two arrows.

"There are so many archers!"

Ran Long was not only surprised to see that there were so many archers in the Qingzhou army, but he had just retreated to the back formation to rest with the Qingzhou cavalry.

"Hehe, if you can be rated as a qualified archer in this infantry army, you can get more land and produce Wadakes, so there are indeed many infantrymen who can drive bows."

Hearing Ran Long's surprise, Chen Xian beside him explained.
