Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 40

Although Helian's vigorous withdrawal brought a temporary victory, both Wang Zhen'e and Liu Yizhen knew that the war was far from over.

In this battle, the Jin army suffered about [-] casualties, [-] serious injuries, and [-] minor injuries.

The casualties on Hu Xia's side on the opposite side can be roughly estimated to be around a thousand based on the number of corpses.

In fact, as far as the facts are concerned, the Jin army's [-]-[-] split with the opposite Hu Xia is considered a victory.After all, except for the years when the Western Han Dynasty was strong, the battle loss ratio of the infantry to replace the cavalry was around one to two or even one to three.

But don't forget that the difference in numbers between the two armies is more than double. If we still fight according to today's battle loss ratio, Hu Xia will still be the winner after the Jin army is exhausted.

But today the Jin army has almost reached the limit of what it can do. First, it kept Wang Zhen'e behind, and then Wang Zhen'e tied up the enemy general He Lianchang, which caused the morale of the opponent to slump. It is impossible for the army to use the same trick twice, and Helian Bobo will definitely use methods to rectify the morale of the Hu Xia soldiers before the next battle.At that time, Wang Zhen'e's role will inevitably decline.

Liu Yizhen's head hurt a little, and after appeasing Shen Tianzi who had been cursing, he called the generals to discuss the matter together.

"Hu Xia's troops are superior to our army after all. Although we can use the chariot formation to deal with him, the advantage is still not our side."

"And He Lianbobo is not as crazy and brainless as in the legends. After his son was captured, he didn't think of a way to rescue him, but withdrew his army in time to save the soldiers. This shows that this person is very deep and ruthless."

He Lianbo's withdrawal made the generals of the Jin army a little unexpected, otherwise the Jin army might be able to further expand the results of the battle when Hu Xia's soldiers were extremely chaotic.

Liu Yi really knew that right now he could only rely on a strange move.

The soldiers on the frontal battlefield had already done their best, and it was impossible for Liu Yizhen to ask them to do more.

"I plan to take some soldiers around to Hu Xia's hinterland."

Liu Yizhen finally said the trick of Jinsuoguan.

"I asked some people in Guanzhong that there is a trail in the northern mountains of Beidi County (now Tongchuan, Shaanxi) that can go around the Beishan Mountains and go straight to Tongwan City, the capital of the Huxia Kingdom."

Bypassing the Beishan Mountains means entering the northern Shaanxi plateau, and Tongwan City, the capital of the Huxia Kingdom, is probably located in Yulin, Shaanxi today. The road in the middle is extremely difficult, but the Jin army has come to have a chance.

Hearing this, Wang Zhen'e's breathing was a little short.

Not only Wang Zhen'e, but also other Jin army generals realized that this might be the key to defeating Helian Bobo.

Everyone turned their eyes to Fu Hongzhi.

Fu Hongzhi is the Fu family in the North.

Only he can verify the authenticity of this information.

Fu Hongzhi is a Confucian general with fair skin and well-proportioned limbs. Under the gaze of everyone, he thought about it carefully and said: "It seems that there is indeed such a road. In Beidi County, Hu people often sneak into Guanzhong through that small road."

The news was confirmed, which lifted everyone's spirits.

"but……"

Fu Hongzhi was a little out of breath when he spoke.

"That path is very tortuous and not suitable for a large number of troops to pass."

"Besides, the terrain is quite high, and war horses can pass there, and supplies are inconvenient, so there has never been a large army stationed there."

Whether we can advance in this era depends on whether there is a way.

After we have a road, it depends on whether the military supplies can arrive.

It can't be the same as the Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period. The grain grown hard in the Chengdu Plain will not be much left when it is transported to the front line Hanzhong.

"Don't resupply."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Liu Yizhen did not need much assistance.

"Have you forgotten, once our army can really enter Hu Xia's hinterland, do we really need supplies?"

Now these Jin army generals have no experience in fighting outside the Great Wall.

In fact, fighting outside the Great Wall is completely different from fighting in the Central Plains.

Fighting in the Central Plains not only means that one strong city after another hinders the army's footsteps, but also troublesome supplies need to be solved.

But the nomads outside the Great Wall almost hunted and ate wherever they went, what kind of supplies and what kind of food?Wouldn't it be nice to burn your house directly and eat your food?
The most tricky of this trick is the champion Hou Huo Qubing. He not only burns the opponent's village, eats the opponent's food, but also uses the opponent's soldiers.As a result, Huo Qubing's army fought more and more, and the Hu people's servants who subdued them fought more fiercely than the Han people...

This point was also brought to distant Europe in a very friendly way by the later "God's Whip", which directly affected the way of thinking of the Germanic and other ethnic groups there, and later continued to modern times and integrated into their bones.

Don't you see that in the later wars and games of hegemony, in the hands of the ancient and simple Orientals, it is necessary to farm, farm, and constantly farm, so that they can win by national strength.But western games are basically burning the village, everyone burns together, and dies together!Whoever can't hold on first loses first.

This kind of rogue thinking is really good for dealing with rogues, so Liu Yizhen doesn't plan to consume the few grains in Guanzhong.

"You don't need to bring many people, as long as you go over the North Mountain and find the wandering Hu tribe, the army will always have fighting power!"

Liu Yizhen looked at the generals under his command: "General Fu, the main purpose of this march is to be able to browse Beishan. You are from Beidi County, how about walking together?"

"The general obeys! Since Duke Guiyang is willing to give up his body, why should the general waste his life?"

He glanced at Fu Hongzhi appreciatively.

While Fu Hongzhi sacrificed his life, he did not forget to flatter himself, which shows that Xiao Fu is a good person and can get along with him.

Then Liu Yizhen looked at Shen Tianzi again: "General Shen?"

"Ok?"

Liu Yizhen leaned closer to Shen Tianzi and said: "Actually, there is no solid military merit here, and Wang Zhen'e has made great contributions to capturing Helian Chang. I'm afraid you won't have much chance if you stay here."

Mentioning this made Shen Tianzi's anger that had not been completely extinguished rise again.

Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Yizhen said quietly again: "General Shen, how can a man live in the world, how can he live in depression for a long time? Why don't you go through Beishan with me to harass Hu Xia's hinterland and make an indelible contribution, so that you can suppress the king and suppress the evil one end."

Shen Tianzi looked at Wang Zhen'e and snorted coldly.

"Okay! I must win the first prize this time!"

Originally, Liu Yizhen planned to take Shen Tianzi and Fu Hongzhi away, but unexpectedly, Pei Fangming also looked at him eagerly, so Liu Yizhen took him with him.

After deliberation, it was finally decided to let Wang Zhen'e guard the army in Qishan, while Liu Yizhen secretly left the barracks with Shen Tianzi, Fu Hongzhi, Pei Fangming and [-] elite Jin troops, heading all the way towards Beidi County.

After two days of marching, Liu Yizhen and others finally saw the trail sandwiched between the peaks that they saw on the map. There is a natural pass in it, connecting Wuyun to the north and Huashan Mountain to the south.

The Jinsuo Pass, which is famous in later generations, finally appeared in front of the Jin army.
