Dajin royal family
Chapter 427
Chapter 427
Jingcheng is not considered a big city in Hejian. In order to be able to defend the south and avoid angering the Northern Jin Dynasty in the north, Wang Xuba set up the capital here.
One is to be able to concentrate troops to deal with Pingyuan County in the south, and the other is to accumulate strength to prepare for the future counterattack against Zhuo County.
However, before he was ready, Pingyuan County did not win. Instead, he waited for the news that the Northern Jin army had entered Hejian County like a broken bamboo. In desperation, he had no choice but to lead the army to rescue Liu Jianhan.
In terms of personal feelings, Wang Xuba was of course unwilling to rescue Liu Jianhan, but once Liu Jianhan died, the next target of the Northern Jin Dynasty must be himself.
So he had to save.
However, he did not relax his protection of Jingcheng.The [-] soldiers and horses he led to rescue Liu Jianhan were all elites, and the [-] soldiers and horses left behind were also elites.
It's just that his definition of the elite is obviously different from that of the Northern Jin Army.
Liu Sidao was crippled by General Jin during the Wen'an War. Wang Xuba thought that he was a brother who rebelled and died together. Not only did he not dislike him, but he entrusted him with the important task of protecting the capital.
But Liu Sidao was not happy about it, on the contrary, he only felt desperate.
As a participant in that war that year, he knew better than anyone else the terrifying combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Northern Jin Army.
Looking at the whole world, the only one with such sharp cavalry is Zhao Wang Jiang Chengxiao.
In contrast, most of Wang Xuba's soldiers were infantry, with only two thousand cavalry.
Since the world was in chaos, the Hexi Corridor fell into the hands of the rebels, and Liaodong fell into the hands of King Zhao. The source of war horses in the entire Central Plains was cut off, and many people did not have war horses.
The barely put together cavalry is nothing more than old horses and weak horses, how can it be compared with King Zhao's cavalry?
In the large Hebei Plain, use infantry to meet the cavalry of the Northern Jin Army?
"It's difficult." Liu Sidao limped and stood on the female wall, looking into the distance, full of worry.
What Liu Sidao didn't know was that in the northeast of Jingcheng, [-] soldiers and horses led by Li Yaoshi had quietly lurked into the dense forest.
This was the first time that Li Yaoshi led an army to fight alone. Jiang Chengxiao gave him [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. There was only one goal, to take Hejian!
Pharmacist Li knew that his mission was extremely important. Now that Yu Chijing had restrained Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan for him in Hejian, he had to take down Jingcheng quickly, cut off Wang Xuba's food supply, and destroy his army's morale.
But he is not in a hurry, as the main general, he must be calm.
As the night darkened, a Jin army scout quietly returned to the dense forest.
"General Qi, the four gates of Jingcheng are guarded by heavy soldiers, and the lights are on day and night. Every time the defense is changed, there are about a thousand people."
Pharmacist Li touched his chin and nodded.
"Okay, let's explore again."
The scouts led the way.
The young general Han Su came over and said, "General, there should be no less than [-] defenders in Jingcheng, so hard attack is not good."
"I know, let the soldiers hurry up to assemble the ladder, and the trebuchet should be completed as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Pharmacist Li is not a fool, he used his elite to fight against them.
The next day, as the early sun rose to the east, a huge roar suddenly filled Jingcheng, accompanied by the painful wailing of soldiers.
Soon after, the horns of war sounded.
"What's going on!" Liu Sidao walked out of the mansion shirtless.
"General Qi, the Northern Jin army has attacked the city!"
"What!?" Liu Sidao's pupils shrank.
The Northern Jin army actually attacked the city at this time. Could it be that Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan have been wiped out?
"Take the clothes, I'm going to the tower."
Half an hour later, Liu Sidao quietly touched the city wall. The scene in the distance made him shudder. Dozens of trebuchets continuously threw huge stones to bombard the city wall.
Farther away, smoke and dust filled the air, as if there were thousands of troops.
"How many are there?" Liu Sidao asked the soldiers beside him.
"I don't know, so far the opponent has not sent troops, but has been using trebuchets."
After the voice fell, there was a 'boom', and there was a violent shock under Liu Sidao's feet.
"General, let's go!"
The personal guard took Liu Sidao down the tower.
Since the opponent had no intention of attacking the city at all, but was just attacking the city frantically with trebuchets, this made Liu Sidao powerless.
On the second day, Liu Sidao wanted to send out scouts to send out the news, but the opponent's cavalry was faster than him. He sent out ten teams of scouts, but none of them came back.
The next day, the heads of those scouts were sent to be placed under the city wall intact by the other party.
This made Liu Sidao feel cold on the soles of his feet.
Jingcheng is not a big city, so how can he stick to it?
"General, is this going to hurt the hearts of the bandits?" Han Su asked Li Yaoshi beside him while riding a horse.
"They are alone and helpless. We attack with trebuchets day and night. How long do you think they can last?"
"But what if they insist?"
"That's even simpler, just tell Wang Xuba the news."
Hearing this, Han Su understood.
In Hejian, Yu Chijing fought several times with Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan's allied forces, and it was hard to tell the winner.
The Northern Jin army was strong in cavalry, while Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan had more soldiers.
Although the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, it didn't last long, because Yu Chijing sent cavalry to find out the opponent's food delivery route, and without hesitation sent Wei Zhongyan to intercept and kill them.
Hebei is a plain, and the cavalry has too much advantage here, and its powerful mobility can cross the entire river in one day.
With little effort, Wei Zhongzhen destroyed the opponent's grain transport unit.
When this news reached Wang Xuba's ears, he felt dizzy.The frontal war was already raging, and now that the food and grass had run out, what did he have to fight the Northern Jin army with.
"Sir, how do we fight this battle?" Wang Xuba looked at Gao Xi and asked.
"Your Majesty, now, the only option is to fight back the Northern Jin army."
"Enough!" Wang Xuba slapped the table and said angrily, "Do you think I don't want to kill the Northern Jin Army? Do you know how powerful the Northern Jin Army's cavalry is? A few days ago, those cavalry had killed When I reach my central army, only five steps away from me, how can you tell me to defeat them!"
Fighting infantry and cavalry on the plains has no chance of winning unless the superiority of troops is extremely large.
Once the horse gallops and charges, the cavalry horse is the scythe of death, and the infantry is like weeds in front of the cavalry. After a cavalry steps over, thousands of cavalry behind them will quickly level off!
In particular, the equipment and morale of the soldiers under his command are hardly comparable to those of the Northern Jin Army.
how to spell?
Gao Xi was silent, in fact he had nothing to do now.
Military strategists pay attention to the right time, place and people, and they don't take it either.
The Northern Jin army had many horses, brave soldiers, and plenty of food and grass.On the other hand, their soldiers have been defeated again and again, and their morale is low. Now that the food and grass are attacked, they have no way to retreat.
"Your Majesty, there are two ways. One is His Majesty's surrender, and the second is to give up Liu Jianhan, and we will retreat to the mountains."
Ok? !
Wang Xuba was taken aback, shouldn't he be returning to Jingcheng?
He thought about it again, yes, Liu Jianhan was defeated, the Northern Jin army would definitely approach Jingcheng, and the result would still be the same.
Do you really want to go back to the mountains again?
Wang Xuba fell into a dilemma, and Liu Jianhan on the other side was not much better than him.
Although Hejian's city is strong, the problem is that his food and grass are not enough, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit now. Liu Jianhan knows that he can't last long.
Originally thought that Wang Xuba led the army to help, maybe they would be able to repel the Northern Jin army, but they didn't take any advantage in several battles, and if things went on like this, he would still lose.
Back in the palace, Liu Jianhan secretly summoned Kong Shaode.
"Sir, I plan to give up Hejian and go to Xindu County. There is still my influence there. Maybe we can still resist."
"Does your majesty think that the Northern Jin army will give up hunting down your majesty?" Kong Shaode asked back.
Liu Jianhan gritted his teeth and punched the wall.
"Of course I know that the Northern Jin Dynasty will not let me go, but it is unrealistic to defend Hejian. We can't repel the Northern Jin army now. Once the enemy increases their troops, or we run out of food and grass, we will still lose!"
Kong Shaode remained silent. In the final analysis, their foundation was too shallow. Although they occupied these territories, the rich families in the localities did not cooperate at all. In addition, the people in Hebei suffered from wars and chaos for years, so they were not popular at all.
How to recruit soldiers without the support of the people and without food and grass.
Everyone knew that the Northern Jin Dynasty was orthodox, and the people in the city were all looking forward to the Northern Jin army's entry into the city, and they had no chance of winning.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was the combat effectiveness of the Northern Jin army. Although they had few troops, they could gallop across the plains with the advantage of cavalry, and infantry could not do anything to them.
"I see. If His Majesty wants to leave, he needs to arrange matters as soon as possible, and can't delay."
Liu Jianhan nodded sullenly, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave.
