The 316th chapter northern battlefield (5)

Uncle Zhou could not guess Zhang Han's purpose in the Han army camp, but he did not know the superiors and subordinates of Zhang Han's army, including Zhang Han's absolute confidant Shi Bao, Zhao Ben and others, at this moment, he didn't know what Zhang Han was going to do. He could only honestly implement Zhang Han's orders, seize the time to prepare dry food and torches and other necessary items for night battles, and lead the soldiers to take turns to rest and take full strength to wait for the night to launch an action.

Finally, it was almost evening when Zhang Han held a meeting in the tent of the Central Army, assigned combat missions to the generals in the army, and said straight to the point: "Dear generals, I won't say much nonsense. In short, you are also very clear about the current situation. Zhou Shupinfu is facing a great enemy, which makes us unable to withdraw from the battlefield in Jinyang. The troops of the Han Thief King's Tomb sneak attacked our Shanwu again, and snatched away most of the money, grain and military supplies that we had finally accumulated after we were in Dai County. We are still advancing towards our capital Dai County. There is a danger of full decline in our rear."

Speaking of this, Zhang Han raised his voice and said, "So we can only win this battle tonight, and we must never lose. We must defeat the thieves in any case and completely reverse the passive disadvantage we are currently facing! I hope that all the generals will work hard to motivate the soldiers and lead them to fight bravely to fight the enemy, just like we were in Dingtao. The soldiers and soldiers worked together, and fought together to defeat the enemy!"

Zhang Han's generals clasped their fists and sang promises in unison. Zhang Han nodded and said, "We must understand and tell our soldiers clearly that the rear of the Han thieves is empty. At present, only Uncle Zhou, the thief army, can be our opponent. As long as we can successfully defeat Uncle Zhou, we can not only protect our Daixian capital, but also pursue the victory and fight back to Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and reunite with our parents and family. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Zhang Han's generals answered neatly, Zhang Han nodded again, and then said: "Tonight's tactics are very simple. I have already set up a trap to lure Zhou Shupv's main force to cross the Fen River east at night and go north to stop our main force from withdrawing from the troops to Dai County. So we only need to arrange illusions, cut off the Fen River floating bridge in time, block the main force of the Han thief on the east bank of the Fen River, and win the fighter plane and attack the Han thief camp with all their strength. As long as we succeed successfully and seize the food, grass and military supplies of the Han thief, then Zhou Shupv has to retreat immediately. At that time, we only need to pursue with all our strength, and easily defeat the main force of the thief army and reverse the battlefield situation of Taiyuan County in one fell swoop!"

After finally introducing his tactics and purpose, Zhang Han pointed to his beloved general Nei Shibao and shouted: "Nei Shibao, tonight you will lead 5,000 troops to stay in the camp and take on the heavy responsibility of seducing the enemy. At the beginning of the second day, you will only leave 1,000 troops to guard the camp, personally lead 4,000 troops to transport food, grass and supplies across the river, pretending to be prepared to retreat to the north, so as to confuse the main force of the Han thieves lurking on the east bank of the Fen River. If the main force of the Han thieves sends troops to intercept, you must immediately give up the baggage vehicle, lead the army to withdraw our camp, and destroy the floating bridge. Never give the Han thieves the opportunity to cross the river to attack our camp!"

The Neishibao quickly sang a promise, but Zhang Han refused to rest assured and reminded him: "Remember two points. First, be sure to use more torches in our camp and pretend that our main force is still in the camp. Second, be sure to fill the baggage vehicle with heavy objects to avoid the thieves seeing the flaws!"

The Inner Shibao hurriedly agreed again, and then Zhang Han turned to the other generals and said, "The rest of the generals, leading all the remaining troops, will accompany me to the camp to gather at the first update. It is necessary to rush to Jinyang City before the second update. The second update will correct the entire army crossing the river, drive towards the Han thief camp, arrive outside the thief camp, and launch an attack immediately! If you don't break the thief camp, you will not withdraw your troops!"

The generals sang their promises together, and then the general Su Feng asked again: "Master, can the last general ask two questions? First, the camp of the Han thieves is protected by trenches and walls, and we do not have the weapons to attack, so how can we attack the thieves camp? Second, the main force of the Han thieves finds that they are deceived and immediately return to their camp to help them. How can we resist?"

"Don't worry about the weapons of attack." Zhang Han said coldly: "Our friendly troops, Jin Wangjun and Zhai Wangjun, have already secretly prepared 800 flying ladders and 150 trench bridge vehicles for us in Jinyang City, which is enough for us to attack. At that time, they will not only send them out of the city and hand them over to us, but also dispatch troops to help us fight."

"As for the main force of the Han thieves' return, there is no need to worry. The King of Jin and the King of Zhai have already prepared hundreds of fire rafts. At that time, it will be enough to burn down all the floating bridges of the Han thieves on the Fenshui River. Even if the main force of the Han thieves comes back, they will not be able to cross the river to reinforce their camps. They can only watch us break into their camps and seize all their food and supplies!"

After listening to Zhang Han's explanation, the generals of Zhang Han's army suddenly realized and quickly praised Zhang Han's brilliant plan. They were full of thoughts. Zhang Han was also very proud and said in his heart: "I don't believe it, I deliberately lost two consecutive games, and asked the death to send two true and false military information for Zhao Ben one after another, but I can't even deceive you, a common man!"

The time for sending troops was soon arrived. As soon as the first update bang sounded, the main force of Zhang Han's army, who was over 30,000, secretly went out of the camp under the cover of the night and gathered outside the west gate of their camp. Then, just as Zhang Han ordered his departure, the soldiers of Zhang Han's army who had received strict training immediately set off south without a torch, relying on the faint moonlight to illuminate. They went south secretly in a secret way. In less than an hour, they walked twenty miles of road and arrived at the bank of the Jinshui River under Jinyang City.

At this time, the advantage of the Jinshui Bridge being controlled by the Jin-Zhai coalition forces was also reflected. With the help and guidance of the Jin-Zhai coalition forces outside the city, the main forces of Zhang Han's army quickly crossed the Jinshui River and lined up quietly to the south bank of the Jin-Zhai coalition forces. At the same time, more than 12,000 remaining main forces of the Jin-Zhai coalition forces, led by Dong Yi, also carried out the attacking weapons they had built in the city and searched the people in the city. They directly crossed the river from the Jinshui Bridge outside the southern gate of Jinyang, met with the main force of Zhang Han's army, and quickly divided most of the attacking weapons to the main force of Zhang Han's army.

When all these preparations were completed, the time was already in the second morning. Zhang Han had just ordered to set off and continue to move south. At the same time, Zhang Han's general Nei Shibao also decisively executed the order. While lit countless torches in the battalion, laying out the illusion that the main force was still in the battalion, escorting military supplies vehicles loaded with heavy objects across the river, pretending to cross the river overnight and withdrawing from the Jinyang battlefield. In this way, he must have been deployed in advance to the main force of the Han army on the east bank of the Fen River.

The second and third hours were approaching, and the coalition forces of De Jin and Zhai successfully sneaked to the surrounding area of ​​the Han army camp and quickly lined up attacks. In order to take down the Han army camp as soon as possible, Zhang Han also tried to send elite soldiers to hiding forward and sneak attack the Han army camp gate. Unfortunately, the Han army soldiers were on high alert. Before the Zhang Han army commando could touch the gate, the Han army sentry was discovered first. Immediately, the gongs were called to the police. The noise was quickly spread in the Han army camp. Many soldiers rushed to the camp to shoot arrows to protect the camp gate, and shot the Zhang Han army commando back with arrows.

"pity."

While regretting, Zhang Han didn't find it strange - since the main force of the Han army had already gone to the east bank of Fen River, the camp must have been more vigilant and prevented, and it was not surprising that the raid could not be successful. So Zhang Han didn't mind, and just shouted immediately: "Beat the drum, attack the camp!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong

"Kill--!"

Hearing the order, hundreds of cowhide drums immediately sounded at the same time. The soldiers of Zhang Han's army, who were ready to go, immediately divided into two groups, carrying the trench bridge vehicles and simple flight ladders provided by friendly forces, and shouting and killing the two northwest gates of the Han army camp at the same time. In order to ensure that the Han army camp was taken down as soon as possible, Zhang Han was very generous this time and dispatched 10,000 troops to charge and attack the Han army camp at all costs!

At the same time, when hearing the sound of war drums, the east gate of Jinyang, which had been closed before, was immediately opened. Two thousand soldiers carried rafts and firewood on their backs, rushed to the dock outside the east gate to quickly arrange fire rafts, and attacked with carefully selected soldiers who were in charge of the rafts, shaking the paddles and rushing towards the Han army floating bridge downstream of the Fen River.

Still at the same time, outside the east gate of Zhang Han's army camp, countless supplies and vehicles loaded with heavy objects had crossed the Fen River and gathered in teams on the east coast of the Fen River, but the surrounding area was still silent and there was no movement. No soldiers and soldiers were seen to break out. Zhang Han's general Nei Shibao, who was left behind in the camp, vaguely suspected that something was wrong. However, Zhang Han's army camp was about thirty miles away from the Han army camp. Zhang Han outside the Han army camp could not see the situation on the northern line or hear the sound of the northern line, and Nei Shibao could not report the news to Zhang Han immediately...

The picture turned back to the Han army camp. The two groups of Zhang Han army charged. When the number of torches was not large, more Han army soldiers rushed to the wall silently. Zhang bowed and arrows waited for Zhang Han army to approach. Then, when Zhang Han army rushed into the range of the bows and arrows of the Han army soldiers, shouting loudly on the wall. Countless arrows flew out of strings, covering the heads of Zhang Han soldiers, and immediately caused countless casualties to Zhang Han soldiers.

The dark night interfered with the sight of Zhang Han and Dong Yi. Zhang Han and Dong Yi on Lao Yu's battlefield could not see the situation ahead clearly. No matter how experienced he was, he could not quickly find that the number of troops in the Han army camp was obviously wrong. It was only after the Han army soldiers released several waves of feather arrows that Zhang Han discovered that the situation was wrong through the number of arrows hit by the soldiers of his own army. He was also shocked and blurted out: "How is it possible? Why are the crossbows of the Han thieves so dense?"

It was too late to find that the situation was wrong. The front army had already rushed forward and could not call it back in a hurry. Just like a group of moths, they rushed into the black flames densely. There were countless casualties in the arrows, and like iron pieces attracted by magnets, they could not get rid of the attraction quickly. Soon, because of the need to arrange a trench bridge and cross the trench, the formation became chaotic.

It was still at this time that the Han army camp suddenly sounded loudly, and countless torches were lit quickly. Before Zhang Han and Dong Yi could scream, there were already killing sounds at the foot of Luliang Mountain to the west. Countless Han soldiers shouted and rushed out of the mountains and forests, killing directly behind the Dai Zhai coalition.

Then, for granted, the three gates of the north and southwest of the Han army camp opened together, and the three Han army attacked torches and fought with the ambushers in Luliang Mountain. Not only did they attack the Dai Zhai coalition, but they also did not even let go of the poor flanks of the Dai Zhai coalition!

"I've fallen into the trap!"

It was still at this time that Zhang Han finally yelled this sentence in his throat. Then Zhang Han didn't even dare to blink his eyelids, and immediately yelled at Dong Yi next to him: "King Zhai, take your army back immediately. No matter what, I have to protect the bridge across the river. I will fight and retreat, temporarily hold the thief army, and you can cover me across the river later!"

Zhang Han's reaction was very fast, and Dong Yi's movements were also very fast. As soon as he heard Zhang Han's roar, he immediately took his army to retreat northward. Unfortunately, no matter how fast their reaction and movements were, they were no longer as fast as possible. Before this, a Han army ambush had already rushed out from the bottom of the Luliang Mountain at the source of the Jinshui River and rushed to the Jinshui Bridge under Jinyang City as quickly as possible! Every Han army soldier was carrying a bunch of firewood on his back!

Uncle Zhou's arrangement was not only so. Hearing the sound of war drums in the Han army camp, fire heads rose one after another on some hills on the east bank of the Fen River. Seeing the flame signal, more than a thousand Han cavalry ambushed on the northern line immediately shouted and rushed towards the Zhang Han army's baggage team that had already crossed the river. As a result, at the critical moment, Nei Shibao made a fatal wrong judgment and immediately strictly implemented Zhang Han's pre-order orders. He immediately took the cross-river army and retreated quickly across the river, lit the floating bridge, and did not give the Han army ambush the opportunity to attack the camp.

The Nei Shibao did not cause much direct material losses. In fact, most of the so-called baggage vehicles crossing the river were equipped with useless earth and stones. Even if the Han army seized all of them, they could not get any oil or water. But the most serious point was that Zhang Hanjun lit the flaming fire and burned the floating bridge, and cut off his own army's road to quickly cross the river and escape...

Then the scene was turned back to the battlefield of the Han army camp. After charging out of the camp, it was still no exception. The soldiers of the Han army still used primitive grenades to open the way and destroy the formation of Zhang Han's army. As a result, because Zhang Han's army had not received primitive grenades before, the disruption effect was better than that of the Han army soldiers. Zhang Han's army, which was attacked by primitive grenades, was almost in chaos as soon as it exploded. The soldiers screamed and scattered. The soldiers took the opportunity to attack and scattered several intercepting defense lines of Zhang Han's army, and quickly disrupted the main brigade of Zhang Han's army.

Then, when the Han army ambushed the troops behind Zhang Han's army, the main force of Zhang Han's army wanted to fight and retreat. The generals and soldiers were scattered countless times, and they continued to trample on each other while rushing to escape north. Zhang Han could not restrain himself at all. In the end, he could only scream in anger and hurried to the north with the army that could still be controlled. "Is there something wrong with it? How did the Shuppa Zhou see through my brilliant plan?"

At this time, the Han army ambushed troops arranged at the source of Jinshui in advance also rushed to the city of Jinyang. They hurriedly piled up bundles of grass on the bridge and burned them. The fire was raging, and they quickly ignited all the six bridges on the Jinshui River. When Dong Yi brought his army to the vicinity, the situation was too late. The six bridges were surrounded by fire. Dong Yi shouted loudly, so he could only send people to rush up to the bridge to try to put out the fire as much as possible, but how could the fire be stopped by manpower? Four of the six bridges collapsed quickly, and the remaining two were also creaked by the fire and could collapse at any time.

Finally, when Zhang Han fled to the bank of Jinshui River with his defeated soldiers, not only were all the six bridges burned down, but even most of the Dong Yi soldiers were blocked on the south bank of Jinshui. Zhang Han had no choice but to yell wildly: "Let's turn around and fight to the death, kill the enemy! Take my life!"

Zhang Han's army's stubborn resistance lasted for less than half a moment and declared a failure. The powerful Han army soldiers slashed and slashed, and rushed forward, killing Zhang Han's army and Dong Yi's army and screamed in fear. In order to survive, countless soldiers could only jump into the Jinshui River and swam across the river. More soldiers of Dai Zhai's coalition fell to Henoi as the Han army soldiers were driven down. The surface of the Jinshui River was densely filled with corpses of Dai Zhai's coalition soldiers. Then the bodies were stacked layer by layer, covering the river, so that the Jinshui River, which had a large amount of water, would not flow completely.

Before the matter was over, after escaping the Jinshui by chance, before Zhang Hansong could breathe a sigh of relief, the Han army pursued soldiers had already followed him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Han could only adopt the kind suggestions of his subordinates and directly fled into Jinyang City with a few troops to get rid of the pursuit. As for Mr. Dong Yi, he was the first to take the lead in escaping into Jinyang City. Even his own army was left behind and ignored, let alone Zhang Han's army and the army lent to him by Sima Xin.

Even so, the soldiers of the Han army still did not give up the attack. In addition to trying to eliminate the enemies captured by the south bank of Jinshui and outside Jinyang City, they also interspersed with cavalry to intercept them and defeated Zhang Han's defeated army again in the northern suburbs of Jinyang. Zhang Han's defeated soldiers had no way to heaven and had no way to go to the ground. Countless people surrendered, and a few stubborn people were all killed. The wilderness outside Jinyang was full of corpses of soldiers from the coalition forces of Jin and Zhai everywhere, and there were also soldiers who kneeled down to surrender everywhere. The defeated soldiers of the coalition forces cried outside Jinyang City and shook the sky, while the Han army soldiers were cheering. Zhang Han, Dong Yi and Sima Xin were heartbroken on the city wall, and their hands were clenched, but they could do nothing.

In this battle, the Han army not only completely damaged the vitality of the Daijin-Zhai coalition, but also completely wiped out the stubborn courage of the Daijin-Zhai coalition. As soon as he received the news of Zhang Han's main defeat, Nei Shibao, the general of Zhang Han's army who was left behind, immediately abandoned the camp and retreated, and took the remaining troops to escape on the small road on the west bank of the Fen River. However, many Zhang Han's soldiers, who were in Guanzhong, refused to go to life far away from their hometowns and fled in a mess. They took the initiative to go south to surrender in front of the Han army. Uncle Zhou immediately sent Han cavalry to pursue the north and chased Nei Shibao on the bank of the Fen River. Most of the remaining Zhang Han's soldiers chose to surrender. The Daijin-Zhai coalition, whose troops were once close to 60,000, had only more than 10,000 defeated soldiers in Jinyang City in less than a day.

The main force of the Dai Jin and Zhai coalition was basically wiped out, but the war in Jinyang was not over yet. It is still difficult to take down Jinyang City, which is known for its sturdiness. The remaining Dai Jin and Zhai coalition were barely enough to defend the city, and there is still hope to defend the city for a long time. Fortunately, Zhang Han, Dong Yi, Sima Xin and others had no reinforcements to rely on. They also understood that once the city was broken, they would definitely die without a burial place. They were already at an absolute disadvantage in psychology and were easily shaken by the persuasion and temptation of the Han army. So just as soon as they withdrew their troops and returned to the camp, Uncle Zhou immediately greeted his uncle, Mr. Sun, who came to greet him and said, "Mr. Sun, it depends on you next."

"What does General Zhou mean?" Mr. Shusun's face changed, and his voice trembled, "Do you want to imitate our king and force the lower officials to enter the city to persuade the remaining thieves to open the city and surrender?"

"It's not forcing you, but I'm asking you to work hard." Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "Sir, you have been on an enemy camp for the king and have made many great achievements. In the end, I want to ask Mr., I will work hard and work hard to enter the city. Try to help us persuade Zhang Han and Dong Yi and other men to open the city and surrender, so as to reduce the casualties of our soldiers in the siege."

"Isn't that the same?" Mr. Shusun screamed and said, "General Zhou, don't you know that what the officials are most afraid of is to go to the enemy camp. Why do you still have to learn from our king and force me to go into the city to take risks?"

"There will be no danger." Uncle Zhou smiled and comforted: "Not to mention that the thief army was trapped in the lonely city, and was helpless, and had absolutely no courage to hurt our envoy. Just based on the relationship between Zhang Han and our king's father-in-law and son-in-law, even if he refused to agree to surrender, he would definitely not attack you."

"What if? What if they are anxious to jump over the wall?" Mr. Shusun's voice became even more miserable, and he said, "We beat the thief army so badly just now. They must have been furious. What if they slashed the lower officials with one sword in anger?"

The smile on Uncle Zhou's face disappeared, and he was about to say a few harsh words to force Mr. Uncle Sun to go to Jinyang, but he never thought that Zhou Shu next to him suddenly came up and said, "General, can you let me say it later? Regarding this matter, I have a few heartfelt words, and I want to say it to you alone."

After saying that, Zhou Shu also squeezed his eyes at Uncle Zhou. Uncle Zhou understood and respected the four old men of Shangshan who were famous, so he nodded and temporarily let go of the poor Mr. Sun. At the same time, he was wondering in his heart, "It's natural to send envoys to surrender? What else does Mr. Luli have to say?"
