If there is a saying of luck, then it is that the Hu people have the luck of the people today, they occupy the Central Plains and other major areas, not only have a lot of resources, but also have a large population.
The general trend is on the side of the Hu people, the five major clans have a natural appeal to the miscellaneous Hu, and there are a large number of Jin people who are willing to accept the drive, but as long as the food and grass are enough, some of the big families of the five major clans are really able to easily recruit a huge number of troops, that is, how much combat power is the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise.
Don't look at the huge number of troops brought by the Yao family brothers, in fact, there are definitely not many soldiers belonging to the Yao family, some of them are conscripted miscellaneous beards, and more are people who are coerced and coerced on the road.
What is the characteristics of the outcast-nature armed is that the composition is complex As the sun set, the first day of offensive and defensive battles ended.
According to the statistics of casualties from all sides, it was only a day's attack, and the number of dead and missing on the side of the coalition forces reached about 4,000, and the number of wounded was close to more than 10,000.
If you don't count the minor injuries, you will lose at least seven or eight thousand in one day, which shows how cruel the siege war is.
Of course, the Han side will also count the number of casualties, including soldiers and slave soldiers, and the data obtained by Liu Yan is that 1,301 people were killed in battle, 679 people were seriously injured, and minor injuries were not counted.
That was just one day, and the Han lost 1,980 people.
The ratio of battle losses in the offensive and defensive battles is four to one, which is actually a ratio that does not seem exaggerated, and most of the losses on both sides are on the side of the camp, and the attack and defense of the camp should account for five or six out of ten "The old man is already transferring troops to the rear," Liu Zheng is qualified to call himself an old man in terms of age and identity.
He said with an ugly face: "Liu Yan has few soldiers, but I have to admit that he is an elite." ” "I heard that the Han invaded Liaodong 1, and fought continuously with Goguryeo and Baekje on the Chaoxian Peninsula" Yao Lan pondered: "In this way, Liu Yan's troops are all perennial soldiers, and it is not surprising that they appear to be elite. ” "Those elites are only fighting fires, and the vast majority of them are slave soldiers."
Yao Jing didn't save face for Yao Lan, or even for Liu Zheng: "We can count the soldiers of the upper headquarters as only more than 20,000, and the rest can only be regarded as slave soldiers." ” As far as the big forces are concerned, there is never a shortage of slave soldiers, and they can go around the place casually, and the willing and forced can always "pull a lot of them", and how much use they can manage depends on how they command.
"That camp is a weak point that Liu Yan deliberately left."
Although Wang Teng is the deputy of the Yao family, the Yao family already has two brothers present, and the identity of the deputy is gone, so he can only be regarded as a strategist and the like, resulting in him rarely speaking, but he can get to the point every time he says: "What confidence and confidence does he have to dare to fight a war of attrition with us" Not to mention, whether it is the elderly Liu Zheng or the shrewd Yao Lan, including Yao Jing, who doesn't look stupid, although the three of them felt that something was slightly wrong before, they really didn't think in the direction that Liu Yan left a weak point in order to bleed each other in hand-to-hand combat.
The side with few troops seeks to fight a war of attrition, and it is really impossible to figure out what the way out is.
"When things go wrong, there must be demons."
Wang Teng said slowly: "The specific situation is up to the three of them to judge." ” The military tent fell silent, everyone frowned and thought, they really couldn't think of any reason for Liu Yan to fight a war of attrition with them after thinking about it for a long time.
"Since the prince is seeing the clues, why don't you say it" Yao Jing looked untroubled.
"Huh."
Wang Teng was still laughing at him and said slowly: "It's nothing more than that Liu Yan has something to rely on, or he can transfer more troops from it, maybe he has a deal with other forces."
"It is inevitable that troops will be transferred from other places."
Liu Zheng told some information, and finally said: "Murong Yanguo is fighting in Liaodong, so it won't be Murong Xianbei, most likely Xuzhou."
There are too many factions within the Shijie Zhao Kingdom, and each prince is almost a faction, and there will inevitably be many families under each faction.
The Yao family has a conflict with Ran Min, who is now called Li Min, because of the affairs in the northwest, Yao Lan and Yao Jing came over to cut off Ran Min's arm, which is to prepare to do something against Ran Min's forces, which is equivalent to taking the Shijian faction.
Since he wants to do something against Shi Jian, it is impossible to just the will of the Yao family, Yao Yizhong is Shi Hu's important minister, and he doesn't seem to have taken refuge in any prince, so is it an indication that it is Shi Hu's instructions And no matter how much, Liu Yan was just swept in, the war has begun, and the next thing is nothing more than to divide the winner and loser.
The next day, before the rising sun in the east, dense cooking smoke was already rising from all sides.
Looking at the camp of the Yao family army, the Yao family soldiers walked rudely through one place after another, and most of them were jumping in a flurry of chickens and dogs every place they passed.
Yao Jing originally gathered or coerced to increase the number of troops to 80,000, but after a cold storm, he lost a large number of manpower, and the mercenaries could be as high as 60,000.
The people who were driven out of the camp tents or shacks, they came from quite a lot of places, nearly half of them were from Dong'an County, which led to a great decline in the population of Dong'an County, after all, Yao Jing did not use any literature and means, it was purely an attack without people, gathering a lot of people, but also killing a lot.
Yao Jing's 60,000 people, plus the 10,000 Qiang people brought by Yao Lan later, lost thousands of them after the first day of offensive and defensive battles, but except for the 400 cavalry who were Yao family soldiers, the rest of the losses were some Zahu or Jin people.
Look at the men who were driven out, ranging in age from twelve or thirteen to thirty or forty, dressed in disarray, most of them were in fact a mallet or a stick, and only a very few who looked the most vicious could have a metal weapon.
"Send someone to Yanzhou" Yao Lan was gnawing on the leg of mutton: "This is a long-lasting war, we should get more people." ” Yao Jing was also gnawing on the leg of mutton, his face was very bad, and he said in a sullen voice: "Yanzhou is Prince Kun's territory by default, don't make it too much." ” The so-called Prince Kun's full name is Shi Kun, Shi Kun is Shi Hu's eighth son, Shi Hong was the king of Ruyin during the period, and Shi Kun's position as the king of Ruyin was not recognized by Shi Hu or abolished, which seemed extremely not embarrassing.
Even if it is the same Hu people, quite a lot of Hu people don't understand what the situation of the Shi family is, for example, many of Shi Hu's descendants were crowned kings by Shi Hong, but after Shi Hu killed Shi Hong, he abandoned the throne of many of his own heirs.
What is more strange is that Shi Hu was called the emperor at the beginning, but within a few years, he abolished the title of emperor and changed it to the king of heaven.
It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that Shi Hu himself is a heavenly king, and he can't tolerate the existence of so many "kings", so he will abolish the kings of many heirs one after another.
"It's more or less emotional."
Yao Lan really didn't take Shi Kun seriously, just a prince who was not embarrassed or embarrassed.
He stared at Yao Jing, who was unhappy, very seriously, and said, "Don't be unhappy, although I am the military master, you are the heir of the Duke of Xiangping County."
In the end, all the credit will be yours.
The responsibility for failure hehe" Yao Jing is just unhappy with this, of course the credit is himself, but if he fails, someone carries the black pot, he feels that he is not trusted, and it is more uncomfortable for young and vigorous people than anything else.
After eating the morning food, the soldiers of the Yao family drove those slave soldiers out of the camp, looking at the "quality" of this group of slave soldiers, it is obviously not comparable to the first day, at least on the first day, there were no twelve or thirteen-year-old baby soldiers and white-sidedness soldiers who looked extremely old.
Having said that, there is no way to compare people in ancient times with people in modern society, thirty or forty years old should be said to be the prime of life in modern times, but thirty or forty years old is already in the twilight years for most people in 342 AD, after all, the gap in the quality of life is so obvious.
The troops of the Yao family army and the Qingzhou army left the camp, and the three places of the Han Department also beat the sound of war drums, indicating that a new day and a new battle were about to begin.
Liu Yan stood at the head of the city with his whole body draped, watched the movements of the enemy army, and said with a smile: "They don't plan to attack from all sides again today."
Li Kuang said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, the enemy army did not please any benefit on the first day, it should be as you expected, the main city and the sub-city are supplemented by raids and defenses, and the main public camp is the wall. ” Obviously, if you keep storming the secret main city and sub-city, it will definitely hurt morale if you can't attack it for a long time, but if you are a little smarter, you will attack the camp with all your might, and seize the camp to destroy the three-sided corner of the Han department, which is also to boost morale.
The main city of Xiami is transferring troops, and 2,000 tribal armies and 1,000 soldiers are being transferred to the West City Gate, which happens to be the direction of the Qingzhou military camp led by Liu Zheng.

The offensive and defensive battle of the city is not a comprehensive shrinking defense, it is the right thing to attack and defend, that is, the timing must be chosen correctly, and this needs Liu Yan's own judgment.
"Xu Zheng's cavalry has already pounced on Dong'an County."
Liu Yan thought in his heart: "Seeing that the Yao family and Liu Zheng are constantly being sent out, I think they want to send troops for reinforcements, but I don't know how far Xu Zheng can go." ” The sound of shouting and killing had already sounded on the camp on the west bank of the glue, and since Liu Yan was at the west city gate, he naturally couldn't see the battlefield in the direction of the east city gate with the naked eye.
However, judging from the movements, it was clear that the attacking side was attacking again from the beginning.
Liu Yan was still choosing the right time and did not miss any opportunity to attack, but not long after the battle broke out on the camp side, there was a burst of cheers shouting "complete victory", which made him stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I saw that it was a person who killed an enemy commander or above" Li Kuang was envious, and he was unwilling to glance at the enemy troops outside the city who pretended to be afraid to come forward.
Didn't Shijie Zhao State Sinicize in official positions, and there was even a captain like this, which was the official position of a nomadic people, but Shijie Zhao State was really like that, not only inherited the official position system of Sima 1 Jin State, but also retained some official positions unique to the Hu people.
Liu Yan subconsciously looked at the map in his mind, but it looked like green dots and red dots were dense, how could he see anything:
