When the two armies compete, the first battle lies in the level of morale, and there is such a sentence as "the husband fights, and the courage is also", and the courage of the army is reflected in the morale.
For the Han army, it is already a common practice for the two armies to clash with their own side to win, and what Zhonghui wants is a great victory, with the smallest loss to win, not with their own corpses and blood to win a victory in the offensive and defensive battle of the city.
There was the first gap in the city wall of Yangyi, and the next time was still a unilateral performance of the Han army, after the first gap, the city wall that was constantly bombarded became more and more fragile, and the city wall collapsed several zhang or even dozens of zhang later, but the Han army still did not launch a charge to the city.
"In the past two days, the number of enemy troops who have fled out of the city and surrendered has been increasing, and there were more than 3,000 people in one day yesterday."
Before he could say anything about the enemy soldiers who were going to run and then be shot dead by his own men, he asked: "The morale of the enemy is extremely low, when will we attack?"
"Tomorrow."
Zhong Hui knew that the opportunity to attack had arrived: "Tomorrow we will fight Keyangyi." ” The generals and colonels were immediately overjoyed, they surrounded Yangyi for more than 20 days, and every day it was a long-range attack equipment that was wielding, and they had already been a little suffocated if they delayed the launch of the battle in the city.
The way to use soldiers, to target the enemy, but also to plan for their own army, the opportunity of Zhonghui is not only to refer to the low morale of the enemy army, but also to deliberately hold back their own soldiers.
Zhong Hui is talking about "gram", Kecheng is to capture the city, will liquidate the enemy army that resists, and will be relatively gentle to the enemy army who surrenders.
The so-called moderation was the custom of the Han state to assign the surrendered to the slave class, and use them to contribute to the construction of the Han state.
The walls of the city collapsed in sections, and the psychological defense line of the Yangyi defenders continued to collapse with the collapse of the city walls.
The Han army on the Yangyi front was very wonderful in the process of harvesting the ripe fruits, Zhong Hui asked the attacking troops to shout the slogan "those who surrender will not die" to attack the city, the resistance encountered after the attack began was not fierce, the Han army surrendered more than fighting everywhere it went, and the resistance of the defenders became resolute to the stage of approaching the city lord's mansion.
"Xu Guang transformed the City Lord's Mansion into a fortress, built an earthen wall three miles away, and formed a passage from multiple corridors."
Si Hongzhuang's army will be responsible for the first attack on the Yangyi City Lord's Mansion, and he is very rigorous in gathering intelligence: "There are more than 2,000 Qiang people and nearly 3,000 Qiang people and Di people in it. ” The enemy defending the city, except for the more than 5,000 people who were still resisting, had surrendered.
The Han army was relatively rough in its treatment of prisoners, and if they caught the Qian, they were killed on the spot, such as the Qiang, Di and Zahu as slaves.
Those who surrendered to the Han family and Miao descendants will be screened, and those who have done evil before will be slaughtered, and the rest will be sent to various counties and counties to become common people to enrich the local population.
"Your ministry and some county soldiers are responsible for the finishing, is there a problem" Zhong Hui received Si Hongzhuang's assurance, and said with a smile: "This is very good." ” Si Hongzhuang is a general, and he has a division of troops under his command.
The Han State has rebuilt the military system, from top to bottom, corps, group armies, armies, divisions, qu, tun, teams, shi, and army.
Two corps are one tithe, five tithes are a team, five teams are a tun, four tuns are a qu, five qu are a division, and three divisions are an army.
At least three armies were brought together to form a group army, and two or more group armies became a corps, and the Northern Shogunate was now the size of a group army, and if the Northern Shogunate and the Eastern Shogunate merged, it would become a corps.
The new military system is Liu Yan's combination of the classical military system and the military system of the post-classical era, such as removing several units such as "thorough" and "pawn" in the classical military system.
In addition, it must be noted that corps and group armies did not exist in modern times, and there were already relevant military units in classical times.
The attack on the fortifications of the castle lord's mansion still starts with remote equipment, and even the thick walls can be blown down, and the earthen walls and fence walls are not a matter at all.
Si Hongzhuang only spent one day destroying the fortifications, and the next day he set up a position and advanced directly.
"The shield is like a wall to cover the soldiers, and the crossbow in the rear is ready to peep."
Xu Guang ventured up to the roof of the City Lord's Mansion to look, but he was calm in the face of the crisis: "The Han army is still the same. ” The city lord's mansion was smashed for a day, and the fortifications were basically destroyed, there were stones and giant crossbows everywhere, and arrows could be seen everywhere, such as many crossbow arrows inserted in the roof tiles where Xu Guang was standing.
"It's our misfortune to face such a strong army."
Du Guang was equally calm: "We have done our best. ” Who says it's not, the defenders of Yangyi are completely inferior to the Han army in terms of long-range weapons, and the composition of the army source is even more messy, and after they have seen the advantages of the Han army's equipment, they are a little surprised that they can hold out for twenty-three days.
"It's a pity that the Han army didn't gain an advantage and immediately attacked."
Xu Guang was satisfied that he could hold out for so long, and said disappointedly: "Otherwise, we can kill and injure more Han soldiers."
"The Han Kingdom already has the momentum of a great power."
Du Guang is not a tribulation who regards Han culture as dung, but after learning Han culture, he learns more: "Any big country, after gaining an advantage, will win a war at a smaller cost."
The country of the Central Plains Celestial Empire is like this. ” Xu Guang sneered and said: "The former Sima Dynasty had such a goal, in order to reduce the losses of its own people, it used the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Zahu as soldiers, and the Central Plains was taken away by the Xiongnu later. ” Du Guang was a little speechless.
It's really not just Sima's family who have done this, and not to mention those who are too far away, the Western Han Dynasty also used the surrendered Huns as soldiers, and the Eastern Han Dynasty used the Huns, Xianbei people, and Wuhuan people who defected.
The Western Han Dynasty suffered a backlash but survived, but the Eastern Han Dynasty got rid of Luoyang and was sacked by the servant army, and when it came to the Western Jin Dynasty, it directly lost the Central Plains.
"I heard that the Han State has nearly 200,000 servant troops" Xu Guang was full of expectations: "I hope they will follow the old path of the Sima Dynasty" "Yes, there are eighty or ninety thousand of us Qiang people alone, and the rest are Di people, Zahu, Liaodong and overseas ethnic groups."
Du Guang looked at the dark clouds rising in front of him, and pulled Xu Guang to retreat: "Go down, the enemy's arrow array is covered." ” The Han army's infantry combat has always been so monotonous, forming a shield array to cover the advance, and every time they advance some distance, they follow the crossbowmen behind them to cover the arrows, but this monotonous way of advancing is not easy to deal with, and if you want to crack the only long-range attack distance, the weapons above the distance are superior to the Han army, or use the cavalry to advance regardless of casualties.
All kinds of fortifications were destroyed, and the environment naturally became complicated, and the Han army that formed the shield wall advanced to an area full of debris, and it was difficult to advance in the form of a shield wall, so it was necessary to crack the shield wall and advance in a small team.
The sky continued to leap over the arrows, and the shield wall unraveled with the sound of metal grinding, and soldiers armed with swords and small round shields poured out.
When the Han army's shield wall cracked, the defenders who were hiding in the complex environment began to cast cold arrows, and the Han army soon suffered casualties.
Zhong Hui had no doubt that the remaining troops would destroy the recalcitrant enemy army and join the army, and after he led his troops to the north, the next stage was to cross the Wei Sailors and approach Jinyang.
"The shogunate conveyed information that Shi Xuan had led his troops to leave Jinyang and go north, and for the time being, I don't know whether to go to the northwest grassland or retreat back to Dingxiang."
Zhang Qian is the old department of Ran Min, and now it is the long history of the Zhonghui department, and the difference between it and the long history of the march of the group army is that there are no two prefixes of march in front of the long history.
He also rode on a majestic war horse, and his demeanor and tone were full of spirit: "Shi Xuan only fled with the elite of his department, leaving Li Xuan to lead the army to garrison Jinyang.
Judging from the situation in Yangyi, Jinyang is probably about the same. ” "The most elite under Shi Xuan's command is Donggong Gaoli, and there are 30,000 people and nearly 70,000 Qiang and Di."

Zhong Hui reminded with a cautious attitude: "In the battle of Yangyi, we eliminated most of the miscellaneous Hu and slave soldiers temporarily captured by Shi Xuan, and there were only 3,000 people and 20,000 Qiang and Di, and the main force in his hands was still there. ” The Han army knew that Shi Xuan had fled, and it was generally possible to judge that he had fled with about fifty or sixty thousand people, and it was determined that there must be Donggong Gaoli in the escape, but it was impossible to determine how many Qian, Qiang, and Di people were taken away, and it was impossible to confirm the composition of the troops in the hands of Li Su, who stayed in Jinyang.
Although the information on Zhongyang's side was slightly delayed, the Shogunate of Zhengbei already knew that Fu Hong was retreating.
Fu Hong's retreat was very timely, he took advantage of the Han army's main attack on the northeast of Bingzhou, and only one Han cavalry was on the south bank of Fenshui, and he decisively looted the land as if he could take away what he could take away.
Li Tan found that Fu Hong showed signs of retreat, but only let the Second Cavalry Army cross Fenshui to attack and disturb, the intention was more like forcing Fu Hong to stop the search and evacuate immediately, and the county soldiers from the local area were on guard against Fenshui, and did not try to intercept Fu Hong's retreat.
"The soldiers in the general's hands are slightly insufficient," Zhang Gan asked with a puzzled expression: "But the county soldiers are not unable to fight, how can they indulge Fu Hong's retreat?"
Zhong Hui didn't know that much, he could only say: "Maybe there are factors that we don't know." ” The strategy between countries has never been so simple, in the overall strategy of the Han State, it is necessary to have a foreign race as a pioneer to the west, Liu Yan believes that the troops led by Fu Hong are very ideal pioneers, and the order given to Li Tan is to drive Fu Hong's troops to the west.
Li Tan was still having a headache about how to complete the king's mission, and he was mostly happy in the face of Fu Hong's initiative to retreat westward, and he was annoyed that Fu Hong had wantonly looted the land before leaving.
The movement on Fu Hong's side is really too big, so big that it is difficult for the Han side not to pay attention.
The Han State didn't care much about the property, it was the population that mattered, and to put it bluntly, Hu Lu was not allowed to kidnap the Han family and Miao people.
When Shi Hu retreated northward, he had taken away nearly a million Han and Miao descendants, and the Han State knew that the situation of the captive Han and Miao descendants was very bad, countless times worse than before, and the Han State was indignant about the current situation, and this Northern Expedition shouted not only to recover the old land, but also to rescue the exiled compatriots.
Regarding the national policy, Li Tan did not explain to the generals under the shogunate system, after all, he first said that he would let Fu Hong go before he fought, no matter how you look at it, it will be a little demoralizing, and it will make the troops tie their hands and feet when they fight with Fu Hong, and then they will be released but Fu Hong will not be able to find out.
Even if one division is left, there are still three armies and two divisions along the way in Zhonghui, one of which is still the Praetorian Guard.
"After Jinyang is Quyang."
Li Tan still stayed in Jingling, and after several soldiers were sent out, only one Praetorian Guard was left around the shogunate.
He said to Tiaoyou: "I think, whether Shi Hu will be like Shi Xuan." ” The problem is that Shi Xuan used great strength to deal with the Han army scouts, and the scouts on both sides chased each other in the wilderness and fought very fiercely.
Li Tan had already sent people to look for Qian Jiantong's department that had set off earlier, but it was the same reason why it was difficult to find Shi Xuan's department in the wilderness, don't look at the tens of thousands of people in a force, but there are too many places to hide in the vast wilderness, and it is not so easy to find the truth.
After the ice and snow melt season, some traces of activity are covered by nature as the ice and snow melt, so that even if Li Tan's side roughly knows which area Qian Jiantong's department is in, it will take some time to find it.
Tiao You had to sigh that the rise of the Han Kingdom had almost no twists and turns, resulting in a kind of smooth pride in the Han State's high-level almost smooth sailing.
He knew that the high-level pride of the Han State had enough reason and confidence, but there was a saying that pride was used in marching and fighting, "arrogant soldiers will be defeated".
And the Han Kingdom is not only a soldier, but also a very proud general, which is worth everyone's concern.
"Shiqi has the intention of retreating to the grassland, and this Shiqi has not concealed it."
Tiao You felt that he should fulfill the responsibility of marching for a long time, and he knew that some words were not good, but he still had to say: "General, I don't know that Shi Qian's move is paralyzing our army, why is it expected that the enemy army will flee without a fight without a fight, and if the general fights with this belief, our army's defeat is not far away." ” Li Tan was immediately stunned, he was about to blurt out some words, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed them back.
"The king commanded that the Praetorian Guards be the vanguard in every battle, and the general sent the Praetorian Guards as the vanguard, but the soldiers followed closely behind."
Tiao You actually didn't know why Liu Yan had such a request, he just told the truth: "The elite of the Praetorian Guard is unstoppable, and it is really the best choice for the front, and if there is an enemy ambush, it must be the king's intention, he is afraid of the pride of the generals, and he is afraid."
Li Tan hadn't thought much about it before, and after listening to Tiaoyou's words, he thought about it for a while, and found that he was indeed overly proud recently, and the whole army seemed to be like that, and there was nothing wrong with being full of confidence in winning the war, but because of pride and complacency, the idea of taking things for granted would really be a loss, and it would be too late to say anything if he really suffered a loss.
"Long History" Li Tan took a deep breath and stood up, and bowed cautiously: "Thank you for the teachings of Long History." ” Tiao Yu hurriedly returned the salute and said in a row: "I have the responsibility." ”:
