War naturally requires the use of strategy, and in many cases strategy is just a battle plan, but whether strategy can achieve the desired result depends on the soldiers who fight on the field.
Xie Shi in the dark felt that he had lost inexplicably, but he didn't think about one thing, that is, the Jin army and the Han army could not be treated as the same at all, and then it was too much attention to the division of the battlefield caused by the family's private soldiers going out to fight the cavalry, so that the Jin army would collapse so quickly in the battle.
"Where are we?"
Xie Shi asked when his mouth could speak.
He didn't shout loudly, but tried his best to keep his voice low: "How is the situation on the battlefield?"
The air was a little stuffy, and it seemed that the space was small enough, judging by the breath, there were six people crammed into a small cellar In the darkness, I didn't know who was speaking, and he said: "Before we left, General Xie commanded his troops to hold the camp, and the Han army was on a major attack. ” Xie Shi listened hard, trying to hear something, but the result was silence, not even the sound of insects.
Until Xie Shi was knocked out and taken away, it should be said that the Jin army was only at a disadvantage but did not collapse, they had about 3,000 people who were divided at the front end of the defense line, and there were nearly 4,000 people in the camp behind.
The Han army led by Huan Wen was only 10,000, and after the battle damage, it was definitely not as many as 10,000, and it was not easy to attack the relatively wide range of Jin army camps, and it was not easy to eat the still organized Jin army in a short time.
The reason why no sound entered Xie Shi's ears was that he had been escorted away from the battlefield for about thirteen miles, and had come to a pre-prepared place of refuge, that is, a deep-dug cellar.
The space of the cellar should be three by three meters square, and its entrance and exit is a three-meter passage that only allows one person to pass through, so it is no wonder that the cellar is three meters below, so it is no wonder that it feels extremely humid.
The cellar was stocked with food and water, so that the small space became very crowded after entering the six people, because too many people breathed and there were no good vents, which also made the air very turbid.
They waited in the cellar for seven days, until someone from outside came, and all the people, including Xie Shi, came to the surface, and by this time Huan Wen had defeated the Jin army originally led by Xie Shi, and the Han army was marching about fifty miles south of Baoxin Xincai.
Xie Shi's face was very pale, and the person was relatively atrophied, which was affected by the damp cellar environment for a long time, he asked, "Xie Ping and everyone?"
The Xie guards who came from behind said with a gloomy expression: "General Xie has been captured along with more than 4,000 soldiers. ” Xie Shi later learned more, Xie Ping's army only held out until the third day before the walled city was broken, they had no hope of winning Xie Ping still wanted to resist, but not all the generals of the Jin army had the will to resist in a completely unfavorable environment, it was after Xie Ping was attacked and tied up, the Jin army on the bank of the river laid down their arms and surrendered.
After the army led by Xie Ping mutinied and surrendered, the Han army immediately rushed to Xinxi.
Xinxi actually had 5,000 defenders, but they didn't expect that Huan Wen would let the Han army mix with the surrendered Jin army and enter the city as a rout.
It should be said that there were those real Jin army generals who rebelled, and the person in charge of the Jin army guarding the city would see that the acquaintances did not hesitate to open the city gate, resulting in the city gate being controlled by the Han army after being suddenly attacked, waiting for the Han army to swarm into the city, and the situation has developed irreversible.
"Did the Han army suffer heavy losses" Xie Shi wanted to know a little: "When they advanced and praised Xin, how many troops were there?"
This question is not something that anyone can answer casually, Xie Shi was not able to get the answer he wanted, he made a rough estimate, that is, how could the Han army after the battle lose three or four thousand, then six or seven thousand plus the surrendered Jin army, Huan Wen still has 10,000 troops in hand.
The real situation is that the Han army did not lose as many as three or four thousand, until after winning the new breath, Huan Wen still had nearly eight thousand Han troops in his hands, and he did not take those surrendered troops to march together, but directly drove the surrendered troops onto the ship, which would be transported to Jiangdu, and the final destination after a little rest was to cross the sea to Liaodong.
Xie Shi is now facing a problem, it is very difficult for a total of seven of them to go to Xincai, and it is not so easy to return directly to the south of the Yangtze River.
A rugged-looking guard said: "Little master, Xincai is already a lonely city, there should already be a Han army besieging the city, even if we can successfully get close, how can we enter the city through the layers of Han army's volleys" Originally, Xie Shi really didn't want to lose so many troops and flee back to the south of the Yangtze River in disgrace, especially when he buried the 1,400 elite family private soldiers he brought out.
After a blow, he was much more mature, and he was not so arrogant as to think that he could crisscross the realm full of Han troops with six people.
"We must have soldiers who have escaped in the wilderness" Xie Shi really didn't want to go back to the south of the Yangtze River now, he said: "There are still many wealthy families in the local area, can you get their support?"
It seems that Xie Shi wants to regroup and compete with the Han army again On the other hand, Huan Wen, who was easily conquered by Baoxin, was in an extremely good mood, he had received news from Wang Pu that the army approaching from Xuzhou had arrived at the city of Ruyin, and Li Kuang's side had divided 30,000 troops and was coming towards Baoxin.
"If you don't find that kid, forget it."
Huan Wen was talking about Xie Shi, and he said with a smile on his face: "Even if it is for the sake of An Shi's face, it is impossible for me to kill him in battle, and there can be no abuse if I am captured. ” Yuan Qiao didn't plan to waste any more time on Xie Shi at all, he knew that Huan Wen's mention of Xie Shi was also a kind of ridicule in a happy mood, so he didn't answer the topic, but said: "Ruyin has been conquered, and now only Xin Cai is left." ” The offensive and defensive battle of Ruyin City ended three days ago, after Li Kuang's threat, there were many people in Ruyin City who wanted to be the internal response, but the fall of Ruyin City was not the internal should open the city gate, it was the private soldiers of those families in the city who failed to seize the city gate, which led to the chaotic battle between the Jin army defending the city and the private soldiers of various families in the city.
The Han army launched an attack at the right time, and it should be said that it took some sections of the city wall with heavy casualties, and then it was the Han army who personally killed the city gate to open it, which led to the fall of Ruyin City.
Li Kuang, who captured Ruyin, led the troops to Xincai, and in the development of the war situation, the Guozhang has always been "braking with static", and this "quiet" directly makes Xincai an absolutely absolute lonely city.
"Xin Cai has been repeatedly strengthened and heightened, and Chu Qi also has nearly 70,000 troops in his hands" Yuan Qiao didn't look down on Chu Qiao much, but frowned and said: "The war over there in Puyang County has broken out. ” Dealing with a shrunken turtle is actually the easiest way to turn a war into a bad battle, that is, one side is strictly defended, and the other side can only suffer heavy casualties plus a long time, and it is completely the soldiers of both sides to consume their lives.
No matter how you look at it, Chu Li will not send troops out of the city, it is estimated that he does not understand the common sense of soldiers that a lonely city cannot be defended and it is not advisable to defend it, but it also makes it impossible for Huan Wen to easily capture Xincai.
"Yes, the war over there in Puyang has begun."
Huan Wen was also frowning, and he said: "The two sides are attacking and defending each other around Baima and Puyang as a dividing line.
The strength of the Han Dynasty is at a disadvantage, and it will soon evolve into an offensive and defensive battle between cities, but I don't know how the king arranges it."
There are only two fronts on which the Han Kingdom is now breaking out, one is of course Huanwen's side, and the other is the Battle of Puyang, which has just begun.
The headquarters of the Han army used by Huan Wen was only 30,000, and 200,000 servant troops were allocated.
They have blocked Chu Li, including the remaining Jin army, in Xincai City, and under the premise that the Yangtze River is controlled by the Han fleet, it is very difficult for the Jin army to rush north to help, and it should be said that their war along the way is actually very smooth.
The Han army in Puyang County faced an army of nearly 180,000 people led by Shi Huqin, and the number of Shijie Zhao troops on the periphery should be about 300,000 or 400,000, which means that after the outbreak of the war, the 80,000 Han army relied on the defense line established in winter to deal with all the Shijie Zhao troops.
"How else can it be arranged" Huan Wen didn't think about it, and said directly: "Yuzhou is not only our army, but also the 30,000 people who are in a state of confrontation with Sun Fudu.
The king must be paying attention to the war on our side, so he is waiting to settle the Jin army and mobilize us to the north to participate in the war. ” The two of them were talking on horseback, and they took a thousand people to Xincai in an exaggerated way, and the scenery along the way did not attract the two of them, whether it was Huan Wen or Yuan Qiao, they all wanted to arrive at Xincai City as soon as possible, and observe with their own eyes what kind of defense method that Guozhang was.
It should be said that Huan Wen is still very cautious, he left 3,000 on the Xinxi side, and 4,000 on the Praise Letter, and he will wait for the 30,000 people mobilized by Li Kuang to replace the garrison of the Han army headquarters.
Now Huan Wen didn't know that his caution was not useless, that is, Xin Cai's offensive and defensive battles had entered a fierce stage, Xie Shi really relied on gathering defeated troops and persuading local heroes to get an army, or because there were enough defenders left in Xinxi and Praise to not let Xie Shi cause more trouble, but Huan Wen was temporarily empty, so Xie Shi led people to run around in the wilderness.
The praise letter is not too far away from Xincai, and when Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao were within ten miles of Xincai, Li Kuang personally led people to greet him.
As the second deputy general of the Han army in Yuzhou, Li Kuang had the responsibility to personally report to Huan Wen on the development of the war situation, even including the early stage of the war.
"Chengji did a very good job" Huan Wen highly affirmed Li Kuang's merits, and said with a smile: "Ben will definitely ask the king for credit for you" Li Kuang was very happy to hear this, he had already calculated for himself more than once before, if the meritorious service was affirmed, how could the title be promoted by two levels, and the official position should be promoted by two levels, and he was a military attache at the level of Zhonglang General, and he was expected to compete for one of the three Zhonglang generals in the west, south, and middle.

Don't look at it just Zhonglang General, the official position of the Han State is based on the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are not too many miscellaneous generals, Zhonglang General is already considered the high-level of the army, and the core generals who can lead the troops to fight are the four towns and the four marches, and then the chariot generals, hussar generals, etc., can only sit in the center and do not go out easily.
"The future of the main general after this battle is even brighter."
Li Kuang said to Huan Wen respectfully: "It must be the level of the four towns or the four expeditions." ” After hearing this, Huan Wen burst into a burst of "haha" laughter, he was originally rushing to become a core general.
After laughing, his face gradually became serious, and he came to the army camp without saying a word, waiting to sit in the main seat of the Chinese army's big tent, and asked, "What is the situation in Xincai City?"
This time the person who reported was Wang Biao, who led 30,000 Han troops to Xincai first, and the situation after the soldiers came to the city was relatively strange, and said: "Since my army arrived under Xincai City, there has not been a single battle. ” Yuan Qiao listened to Daqi and asked, "Not even a scout battle" That's how Wang Biao's face was full of weirdness, and he replied: "Back to the long history, the enemy army has completely shrunk, and our army has not dared to attack the city. ” One side was all hiding in the turtle shell, and the other side felt that there was no need to attack for the time being, and as a result, there really was no skirmish.
For a moment, Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao looked at each other, and they didn't understand what the national master was planning.
"Chu Li has been staying in Xincai, and he tried his best to collect grain into the city when he was shrinking his troops, and the general estimated that the grain in the city should be enough for them to eat for a year to a year and a half."
Li Kuang did not count the consumption of residents in the city, and he said: "I learned from the mouth of the general Li Mai that there are 30,000 regular Jin troops in the city, and the private soldiers of various families are close to 30,000, and there should be about 20,000 strong armed forces in the places where they take refuge. ” Speaking of local heroes, Li Kuang's face obviously showed murderous aura, and none of the Han army generals including Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao had a good face.
Everywhere the Han army went, it was not completely devoid of places where the powerful took the initiative to take refuge, it should be said that there were not a few people who took refuge, but all of them had ghosts or were thinking about how to obtain benefits.
Those who did not take refuge in Haoqiang, it is impossible to say that they all stand on the side of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, most of them adopt the attitude of not helping each other.
They are all people whose identities have reached a certain height, how can they not know that local Haoqiang has always been a major matter that has plagued the center, and there have always been debates about how to deal with it, and there are so many places on the battlefield where the attitude is unknown, Haoqiang will definitely not let the generals and colonels who command the army be happy.
"I didn't have time before" Huan Wen sneered, and he spoke with his hand constantly touching the hilt of the sword: "It's time to clear the field." ” Yuan Qiao nodded: "Chu Qi can't shrink out, it may be a protracted battle of attack and defense of the city, and it should be cleared." ” To put it simply, the two armies are fighting, especially the invading side will never allow uncontrollable armed forces to be within the scope of the battlefield, and then the next city attack and defense battle, no matter which Han army general thinks that the more cannon fodder the better
