Sweep the World

　　If possible, everyone, including Huan Wen, hopes to go to Puyang County to participate in a war that is destined to be an epic battle, instead of staying outside and doing things that are meaningful but difficult to be paid attention to.

The Battle of Puyang will definitely stay in the annals of history, even if it is a dry war of attrition, all because it is a war that will determine the fortune of the country, and future generations will add some imagination based on real combat experience. There are countless versions of the story in Kingdoms.

　　 Huanwen's inner eagerness is manifested in action. He ordered all the rest to sweep the surroundings except for the 70,000 troops surrounding Xincai.

　　Which kind of war of annihilation in which those who follow me prosper against me perish, regardless of the ethnic group, there are only two choices from one to two, either surrender or resist.

The big action of the Han army is sweeping out from Xincai as the center, and some of the previously made signs finally work. It is to first destroy some places that are considered to be strong and famous to kill chickens and monkeys, and to deter others. By.

Chu Pai, who was guarding Xincai, first learned that there were at least 160,000 Han soldiers approaching the city. After two days, he discovered that the Han army outside the city was only about 70,000 left. He has been thinking hard about what to do, poem A lot of leaders have been brewing, but how to carry out military operations is at a loss.

　　 "Talk about it all." Chu Pai looked at him without a catastrophic appearance. He asked in a very calm tone: "Are there any good strategies to break the enemy?"

In the lobby, on the right side, there are rows of scribes sitting on their knees, each of them looks very polite, some of them are literati in the Jin army, many of them come to see Chu Pai to play happily and then get trapped. There are great calligraphers, poets, painters, etc. in Xincai; on the left are also about twenty generals sitting on their knees. They are undoubtedly from a family south of the Yangtze River. They are not lacking in majesty by looking at them. Generation.

　　 Facing Chu Pai’s expectant inquiry, whether it was civil or martial arts, their first move was to look at someone they were familiar with, and then they looked at Chu Pai uniformly, but no one said something.

Before 　　, many people gave Chu Pai advice.

　　 For example, at the beginning, someone put forward a suggestion to "let go all the way, lead the Han army to the south, and mobilize troops to encircle." This suggestion was rejected by Chu Pai's "braking with silence".

When the outlying strongholds around Xincai were wiped out by the Han army one after another, some people suggested that "all strongholds resolutely resist on the spot, and Xincai’s Jin army moved between Ruyin and Xincai, and Xincai, the outdoor camp, and Ruyin became a chasm. "Zhi Shi", without accident, was again rejected by Chu Pai's "braking with static".

Well, waiting for the Han army to march into Ruyin, Chu Pai finally accepted a suggestion according to his own mind, that is, to dispatch all the shrinking forces to Xincai, and come to a concentrated superior force to hold on, and wait for the arrival of the southern reinforcements. .

　　 Now, apart from Xin Cai, all Chu Pai knows is that only Runan County still has the Jin army. In fact, he didn't even know that Huan Wen had landed from the Yangtze River, and after conquering the new interest, he gave a compliment. While Huan Wen went north, it was Wang Pu who used his strength to sweep the remaining cities of Runan County.

　　 This is the inequality of information brought about by being trapped in a city. The city was completely sealed off, and what happened outside could only be guessed by one's own imagination. Whether he could be fooled was entirely a matter of luck.

　　 It was precisely because he didn't know the situation outside at all, Chu Pa asked, no matter who couldn't answer one.

Chu Pai didn’t get angry when he saw that no one was talking. He even smiled for a while and said, “The Han army has not attacked the city. Obviously, I know that Xin Cai Chengchi is not easy to attack. We have plenty of food, everyone. You can think about it slowly."

　　 At that moment, more than one person in the lobby admired Chu Pai's demeanor in his heart. For example, he was calm and calm, or he was not surprised, in short, he felt that he was very general. After thinking about it, the people who were a little anxious because the city was besieged, they felt at ease inexplicably.

　　 After discussing business affairs, according to the social habits of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Chu Pai prepared the banquet conscientiously, waiting for food, water and wine, five stone scattered, including the playthings of Mei Ji, actors and so on, and a carnival in the siege took place.

　　 The social habits of the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be summed up in a few simple descriptions. During the Cao Wei period, the aristocracy reached its peak, and extravagance formed a trend in the upper class. In the Sima 1 Jin Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty was still the social habit of Cao Wei. After the "clothing of the South", the social elites became a kind of self-reliance after repeated Northern Expeditions to restore the hopelessness of the Central Plains. , There is no better way to forget your worries.

Huan Wen didn't know what his opponent was doing. What he was doing was trying his best to find the weakness of Xincai City. After walking around day after day, he was surprised to find that Chu Pai really turned Xincai into a strong city. .

　　 "How many people are there in the city?" Huan Wen found that Xincai was not connected to the water canal outside the city. He asked, "How many wells are there in the city?"

　　 Li Mai was taken for a stroll. Facing Huan Wen’s question, he answered honestly: "In addition to the army, there are about 40,000 inhabitants in the city. Well...I haven't calculated it specifically, should there be hundreds?"

　　Seriously speaking, the war between Han and Jin can be said to be a civil war. The two sides will not do anything to abuse the surrender and captives. After being captured, it is not too difficult to make it serve. Li Mai did not surrender, and he would answer that it was because of a kind of warm and gentle treatment of him.

　　 "How much firewood did the head of the country prepare in advance?" Huan Wen felt that this question was very important. He smiled and looked at Li Mai and asked, "This should be clear, right?"

　　 Li Mai silently shook his head, and after a short while, he said: "Before I left, the new Cai Shoujun didn't collect firewood. I don't know after I left."

　　 Huan Wen has been considering the odds of victory in a strong attack, and then how much force will be lost in a strong attack.

　　 Xincai’s city wall is square in shape, with a height of about four feet. Eight crossbows can be found on the city wall. The Jin army will not lack strong bows and crossbows. If you really want to attack, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.

According to ordinary military common sense, the best way to face a strong city is to siege and not fight, relying on siege to break the absolute grain. However, any siege takes a long time, which is exactly what Huan Wen does not want to see. of.

　　 Xincai spent time in siege observation and besieged and observation, but the outer war broke out very fiercely.

The headquarters of the Han army is to supervise the subordinate army to launch aggressively against the places that are unwilling to be attached, because it is to pick the strong locals to kill the chickens and monkeys. .

　　 Attacking local tycoons is not without side effects for the Han army. That is, the original neutral local tycoons turned hostile to the Han army, which is equivalent to Huan Wen's order to attack the local tycoons and force more people to join the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The situation in Xincai County and Ruyin County spread to Runan County. The news of the Han army's aggressive attacks on the enemy's tycoons made Xie Shi relatively easy to convince a large number of tyrants. The defeated troops and the enemy's armed forces unexpectedly produced a miscellaneous force of about 20,000 people.

　　 By this time, Xie Shi already knew the situation in Xincai County and Ruyin County, and also learned the news that the Yangtze River was closely guarded by the Han fleet. He knew very well that before the Jinjun navy in the south of the Yangtze River seized control of the Yangtze River, it was impossible for the state chief's eager southern reinforcements to go north.

　　 There are other information, such as the included Ran Minjun, they attacked Nanyang County about a month ago. In this way, as far as Xie Shi knew, the Han army was not only fighting Shijie Zhao, but also aggressively invading Jin.

"It's really powerful!" Xie Shi looked more mature after the attack. He said to those places where he took refuge in his own power, "But it is precisely because the Han army is fighting everywhere, which proves that the number of troops to Runan County will not be sufficient. too much."

The local tycoons who took refuge in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had their own reasons. The main reason was that the Han country was relatively harsh on the local tycoons. For example, the Han National Assembly conducted the most detailed demographic statistics and registration. This alone was sufficient for most places. There are other measures for the heroic old man.

　　 There are indeed too many places to fight in Han. The news is not so obstructed and most of them know that the battle of Puyang will be related to the fate of Han and Shijie Zhao, so it is definitely impossible for the two sides not to fight desperately.

　　 Because they knew the importance of the Puyang battlefield, more than one local tycoon believed that it was impossible for the Han army to spend too much force or time to deal with them. Most of them felt that procrastination would usher in an opportunity to change the situation. Furthermore, they had another plan. For example, the Han army won on the battlefield of Puyang, and it was also a means of meritorious service to betray the same tycoons or the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Time passed bit by bit. From the time Huan Wen ordered the surrender of the local powers, to the Han army camp outside Xincai City, about 50,000 prisoners of war had been gathered. His forty-sixth day of besieging Xincai was finally The first siege order was issued.

Chu Pai, the governor who had been drunk and dying, when he learned that the Han army had attacked the city, he was taking drugs with a group of close friends, and with a drowsy thinking, he was helped to come to the banner of Huanwen. City wall.

　　 "This vertical lever is not enough!" Chu Lei's face flushed, it was the prelude to Wushisan's medicinal power. He shouted to the left and right: "We have a towering and solid city wall, sharp guards, and soldiers with one mind. The Han army will surely be beaten!"

　　 First, the general and a group of literati cheered Chu Pai’s face, then the guards of the Jin army were driven to yell, and then the drums of war joined Qi Ming, looking at Xin Caicheng really a bit of morale.

Zhang Mi is a miscellaneous general. The difference from Chu Bao and many other "clothed Nandu" families is that he comes from an authentic southern family, and the one who has to be honest is the "clothed Nandu" families from the north. There have always been contradictions among the aboriginal families in the south, and it is the current situation that the aboriginal families in the south have been suppressed by the families that migrated from the north.

　　 "Boss, look at the appearance..." Zhang Mi didn't want to speak. He was excluded from the banquet held by many family members just now, and the boss was upset in his heart. Literary Yuyu everyone in the city has become a grasshopper on a rope, he has to remind: "Those who are about to launch an attack are the people from the surroundings who are forced to come over?"

　　 Chu Pai didn't know if he heard it, he just closed his eyes with a "huh".

Chu Pai is not the only person who is not in the right situation. One of the people who attended the drug banquet just now seemed relatively weird, either being supported and closed his eyes, or running around like a lunatic, giving the original serious and tense atmosphere. Added a kind of...monstery?

　　 In the beating of drums, Huan Wen ordered an attack. For a moment, there were nearly three thousand mobs who were forced by the servants to run towards Xincai.

　　 It should be said that those who were taken as cannon fodder to Xincai City after being captured were the slave army. There were almost all ethnic groups among them, so that whether they were dressed or shouting "kill", the language was rather confusing.

The slave army that launched the attack did not have any siege equipment except for the city ladder. It was impossible for them to have sophisticated weapons or armor. Even the shields were made of crudely assembled wooden boards, and they ran to the top of the city. When it was within the range of, the defenders of the city fired a long-range attack weapon, which was the eight-jun crossbow, strong crossbow, and strong bow.

The Jin army who defended the city had a high advantage~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They also had relatively sophisticated equipment. Under the constant rain of arrows, the 3,000 slave army did not even approach the city wall for 150 steps, and two died. After three hundred people turned around and fled.

Huan Wen, who was sitting on the high platform with the Da Ma Jin Dao, frowned when he saw the slave army’s collapse and collapse. die."

　　 Yuan Qiao opened his mouth to speak, but Huan Wen had already ordered, so he had to say nothing.

　　 There was such a scene on the battlefield. The slave soldiers were first torn apart by the defending Jin army. When they ran back, they were warned to shoot arrows by the servants. The servants warned that they were ineffective and immediately covered, and the Qingqi sent out to kill as much as they wanted.

　　 In those scenes, the Jin sergeant at the head of the city stood upright, which also caused an uproar from the slave army.

　　 The uproar and restlessness of the slave army in the camp did not get any good. The loudest sound was shot by arrows, and organized resistance would be divided and killed.

　　 "Uncle Yan." Huan Wen's temperament looked a little cold, and he said depressed: "We need more slaves."

　　 Yuan Qiao’s response was merely nodding in agreement. He actually feels that Huan Wen has become more and more impetuous recently, and his killing is also bullish day after day. Of course, it is because of the new news from the rest of the battlefield. For example, Xie An led his army to defeat Sun Fudu and has officially joined the Puyang battlefield. The friendly army of Nanyang County also completed the goal and headed to Puyang.

　　 Seeing others doing things one by one they desire to be able to participate in, Huan Wen is dragged in place and unable to move. If you want to say how depressing it is, it would be irritable.
