Thorn Tsu.
Upon arrival, the Han army only launched two tentative attacks and stopped, when Li Tan realized that it was impossible to take Jianjin with the forces at hand.
The fleet that was supposed to cooperate with Li Tan's command to attack Jianjin kept running on the reef when they sailed to about fifteen miles away from Jianjin.
And the bottom of the boat touched not the reef at all, it was the stone tiger that made the stone jie sink by itself.
In addition to large and small shipwrecks in the river section around Jianjin, some relatively gentle and shallow positions of the current have also been staked.
There will be such a special situation, at that time the troops of both sides are frequently mobilized, and then the self-sinking of the Shijie water army and the driving of wooden stakes all happened at night, even if the Han army found that there were constantly corpses floating down from the upstream was ignored.
The Han fleet was blocked fifteen miles downstream from Jianjin, during which there would be burning boats floating down the river, which was not only blocked but also faced the danger of fire attack, and the fleet could only temporarily turn into the Qizi River to take refuge.
It's just that Li Tan's army all the way to Jianjin is facing at least 150,000 Shijie Zhao army, and under the premise that the strength is not enough, there is no point in making a strong attack, and what needs to wait is for the follow-up friendly troops to come.
With Jianjin as the center, the scope of the camp established by the Zhao army of Shijie is far beyond imagination, the south bank is a camp and fortifications about ten miles deep, and the north bank looks like a large continuous area.
It was obvious that the Han State had made mistakes in its decision-making, first of all, it did not form an encirclement of Shi Hu, and secondly, the forces were too scattered to seize the opportunity for a decisive battle.
Now Shihu has reached the north bank of the Yellow River, but the Han army has two troops trapped in the hinterland of Shijie, and the Huan Wen department has been surrounded on all sides.
On the sixth day of Li Tan's arrival in Jianjin, Ran Min led his troops to arrive.
"Now it seems that it is time to decisively attack Yecheng or Xiangguo."
Ran Min was actually quite worried about this matter: "The same is to let Shi Hu go to the north bank of the river, but one is to force Shi Hu to retreat, and the other is to let Shi Hu calmly arrange." ” The first civil and military dispute in the Han Kingdom was won by Liu Yan without suspense on the civilian side, and it may not be possible to say that there was no unwilling emotion on the side of the military generals, waiting for the current situation to develop like this, it is difficult to say what kind of thoughts the civil officials have, and most of the military generals are unwilling to turn into a kind of resentment.
"Now there are new tricks, and I plan to do it," Ran Min said, using the trap set by Shi Hu to attack halfway.
He is very unoptimistic: "Obviously, anything that can be seen casually is likely to be an ecstasy array, and their ideas are probably going to be in vain." ” Li Tan listened silently, he was familiar with the terrain around Jianjin after Ran Min arrived.
I have to say a very true thing, the terrain of Thornjin is very flat, and the places that can be seen by the eyes are simply clear, and what arrangements will be laid out are basically on the surface, and the difference is to judge where the enemy will hide heavy troops under the cover of the camp established by borrowing.
Ran Min said a lot, but seeing Li Tan's respectful attitude, he didn't say much, so he felt bored and asked the key question: "In your opinion, how long can Huan Wen last?"
Li Tan followed Ran Min to pause, and after thinking for a while, he said: "General Huan Lang has a large number of equipment troops, and how long it can hold out depends on when the arrows and other materials are exhausted. ” The generals in command of the Han army knew that if they wanted to let their supplies bottom out, there would only be one situation, that is, there would be no chance to build a workshop after arriving in one place.
After such a long time, it should have been understood, if not deliberately, that their king was a god-like figure in the world, capable of mobilizing elite troops from places unknown to anyone, and could also efficiently produce war materials as long as he owned some buildings, and even obtained a steady stream of food from a strange building.
Tacit things need to be observed for themselves, no one is going to talk about strange things that are weird no matter how you look at them, they know that they just need to enjoy that convenience.
It is precisely because there are too many strange things that people with sufficient identities on the Han side never doubt that the Central Plains will be recovered, the difference is how much time it takes, and how much it will lose during the period.
More importantly, there will be internal contradictions, but no one wants to shake Liu Yan's dominance.
Ran Min is obviously also a person who knows the "inside story", if he still has any ideas before, the only pursuit left after knowing the situation is to become the king because of merit, and he definitely has no intention of standing on his own or rebelling again, after all, although his emotional intelligence is not high, it does not mean that he is stupid.
"That's going to have to be beaten."
Ran Min would ask about Huan Wen, that was the friendship established between the two from that time when they worked together to attack Yecheng or Xiangguo, and afterwards the two found that the other party was similar to their own hearts, and they had some meaning of knowing each other and hating each other.
He said to Li Tan: "What the king means is that the strategic position of Jianjin has begun to decline, and all that remains is how many enemy troops can be eliminated here to create favorable conditions for the future battle." ” Li Tan understood that it was a frontal battle, and the two sides were completely fighting with their strength.
Ran Min brought 80,000 Han troops, and the number of Han troops on the Jianjin side increased to 180,000, but the number of soldiers was 90,000, and the rest of the Han army could not be said to be unable to participate in the war, but most of the time it was more inclined to serve the nature of soldiers.
Because of the terrain, Shijie Zhaojun already knew it when Ran Min led the army.
They did not make any extra moves, but they continued to strengthen the fortifications of the camp and put on a posture of stubborn defense.
On the second day after Ran Min's arrival, dense cooking smoke rose from the camp of the Han army before dawn, and then the camp of the Zhao army in Shijie was also in the same situation.
Judging by the smoke of the cooking, both armies are making additional meals, indicating that the calm of the past few days will be broken today.
The sky is bright, after a full meal, the Han soldiers and soldiers lined up to go out of the camp, but the troops are headed by various infantry soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, followed by the foot soldiers in the soldiers, and the cavalry is in the infantry army to the position of Shijie Zhao army two miles after swinging on the left and right flanks as a sweeping formation.
When Ran Min and Li Tan appeared at the front of the battlefield, a large number of the figures of the Shijie Zhao army on the opposite side were arranged according to the fortifications established by borrowing, and the strong war drums of the Han army and the desolate horn sound of the Shijie Zhao army echoed, with the fluttering flags of the two armies, giving the air a sense of slaughter.
"The world has changed."
Ran Min seemed to have a clear mockery and said: "Hu people are good at riding and archery, and they like to fight in the field.
I didn't expect to have to fight a defensive battle in Yingpan now. ” Li Tan was observing the source of the soldiers in the enemy's camp, and he could see very clearly through the monoculars, most of the Zhao troops who appeared in Shijie were yellow-skinned and black-headed, with eyes ranging from black to brown, with only a few white skin, brown hair, and green eyes.
So does it mean that the people of the Qiang people are just the existence of the war, and it is the people of all kinds of miscellaneous and Jin who need to work hard "The Hu people don't have many strong crossbows, and the color of the bow is not pure."
Ran Min was also looking at it with a monocular, and commented: "The range of our army's strong crossbows is better than that of the enemy. ” Shijie Zhao Jun must also understand the gap between the long-range attack weapons of the two armies, they arranged a lot of roofs when building the camp, and the point of attention was the wooden row structure plus fireproof sand, and the random ones were grass huts and then mud, so that at a glance, it looked like a fortification and more like a village.
Ran Min ordered the necessary melee escort forces and a large number of crossbow troops to start the advance as the lead, followed by crossbows and stone-throwing vehicles.
Nearly 30,000 Han troops were advancing in a half-moon shape, and when the two sides were three hundred paces away from each other, the crossbowmen stopped and lined up in an arrow formation, and the rest of the troops continued to move forward, the crossbow troops stopped at a distance of 200 paces from the enemy, and the melee troops, archers, and stone-throwing carts stopped when they approached the enemy's fortifications about 150 paces.
A "whoosh" sound sounded first on the battlefield, it was the sound of too many crossbow firing together, one followed by another, and a "dark cloud" composed of crossbow arrows appeared in the sky, which made a "boom" movement in mid-air and broke through the air and forward, falling in pieces and hitting all kinds of objects.
If you are in the Shijie Zhao military camp, the environment you face is like a rainy day, the difference is that it is not raindrops that fall, but crossbow arrows that will kill people.
Not all Shijie Zhao Jun have a roof that can be covered on the top, wave after wave of dense crossbow arrows are fired, and the Shijie Zhao Jun who have no overhead cover is killed and wounded and scattered to the covered position to take refuge, and the camp covered by crossbow arrows is a scream of chaos occurred.
The strong crossbow troops on the side of the Han army continued to shoot arrows quickly and mechanically, and a similar situation had already occurred in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Qin army used strong crossbows as an early offensive everywhere they went, and under normal circumstances, the Qin army would shoot arrows at the enemy's camps or cities for six or seven days in a row, so as to break the morale of the enemy army.

Soon, the crossbows of the Han army also joined the ranks of launches, to say that the roof built by the Zhao army of Shijie can prevent the crossbow arrows of strong crossbows, but in the face of crossbow arrows that are about a zhang long and appear thick, it may not be.
Spear-like bolts leaped over a distance and fell, their sharp metal arrows digging into the ceiling, piercing through the dirt and breaking through the thatch, with a cry of terror, and a scream of horror.
The thatched roof does not stop the crossbow arrows of the crossbows, while the timber roof depends on the degree of sturdiness.
There were only a few crossbow arrows that could shoot through the timber-made roof, and more only the roof shook after the hit, and some of the sand fell on the Shijie Zhao army who were hiding inside, and then scared them into stupidity.
Because the distance of the Han army was too close, and then the long-range attack weapons of the Han army were too long, Ma Qiu, who was in charge of commanding the defense of the troops, saw that the camp covered by arrows was actually within half a mile of the camp, and at the same time he was glad that Zhang Qun had spent so much effort to get those roofs before.
"Hold on" Ma Qiu is not very respected by Shi Hu now, or he would not have been assigned such a task.
He kept yelling: "Hold the enemy's long-range arrows, wait for the enemy to storm the camp, and we will slaughter them well" The scope of the battlefield is large enough, all kinds of voices are filled, no matter how loud a person is, the distance that the voice can travel is limited, at most it is to encourage the people around him, and then cheer himself up.
To put it mildly, Ma Qiu has really had enough years in recent years, first followed Shi Hu to attack Murong Xianbei, who had not founded the country at that time, and wiped out the whole army, and then led the army to attack Zhang's Liangguo alone, and then came to a halberd and sank sand, so that the official positions of Liangzhou Assassin Shi and General Zhengdong were removed one after another.
Ma Qiu's brief time to operate occurred in March of this year, when he was appointed as the governor of the three counties of He1 Nan, Hanoi, and Xingyang, commanding the troops to garrison the three counties, and it is likely that he will also become the general of Zhengxi to enter Guanzhong, and the result is that the Han army used troops against Xingyang County.
After he was defeated by Xie An, he immediately retreated to Ji County, and Hanoi County was soon attacked by the Han army, and Shi Hu was furious and once again stripped of his position as governor of the three counties, gave him the official position of Puyang County Guard, and threw him to Jianjin as the forward commander of the defense of the Han army.
If people are unlucky to a certain extent, then nothing will go well, Ma Qiu expects the Han army to quickly launch a close-range attack, but the Han army just uses the advantage of long-range bow and cavalry weapons to shoot continuously, is a strong crossbow, car crossbow, stone throwing car endless shooting, shooting for six days led to the camp Shijie Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, but the Han army did not launch a melee offensive for a long time.
After six days of various long-range weapon strikes, the front of Shijie Zhao's camp was already a mess, with dense crossbow arrows inserted everywhere, some of which were as thick as spears, and the round stone bullets could almost be piled up into a hill.
What the Han army caused to the Shijie Zhao military camp was that no matter what kind of fortifications it was under the high-intensity bombardment, it became a piece of ruins, and the dead Shijie Zhao army was left on the battlefield and no one to clean it up, not to mention, they had to retreat back continuously, and they retreated two miles for six days, and the Han army entered the position that was originally the Shijie Zhao military camp, and then continued to shoot endlessly.
Ma Qiu had tried to get his men and horses to launch a counterattack, but the result was miserable, it was a kind of people who had just come up to attract a rain of arrows, and the Han army's bed crossbows and stone throwers would soon join in, and their attempts were only to move forward less than a hundred steps before they broke down and fled backwards.
"When are they going to" Ma Qiu's hair turned white, and the whole person looked extremely haggard, both angry and with a deep sense of powerlessness: "Is there such a war?"
Of course, there were such wars, first the Qin army did this to the Central Plains countries and the Xiongnu, and then the Western Han army that fought out of the fortress also did this to the Xiongnu and the grassland tribes of all sides, and the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty still did this to the Western Regions.
The current Han army can still continue to do this, because Shijie Zhao Jun himself gave up the advantage of field cavalry and played the tactics of building camps and fighting
