Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 425 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])

Twelfth lunar month
Shiyi
Wang Jun's army has arrived here, ready to go south to capture Xiangguo in one go.

These troops include [-] Youzhou Qingqi, [-] Youzhou armored cavalry, [-] Duan Xianbei Qingqi (also bow cavalry), [-] Jizhou infantry, [-] Murong Xianbei Qingqi, and [-] Yanguo armored cavalry.

There are a total of [-] troops, known as [-] troops to the outside world!

On Shile's side, there were [-] armored cavalry, [-] heavily armored infantry, [-] Qiang and Hu Qingqi, and [-] Yanyu infantry.

There are a total of [-] troops, and they are also known as [-] troops to the outside world.

At the same time, Zu Ti scattered all his wealth and called on many tyrants to donate money. Only then did he manage to get together three thousand warriors, among whom there were only 300 cavalry warriors who could ride horses.

3000 troops, also known as an army of [-] to the outside world, launched the Northern Expedition against Shile's rear.

Shi Le formulated a strategy of first going south and then going north, first attacking Zu Ti, who was weak with light cavalry, and after defeating Zu Ti, he wholeheartedly dealt with Wang Jun.

As Shi Le expected, when his [-] Qiang and Hu cavalry went south, Zu Ti was defeated, and the [-] temporarily recruited Xiangyong were defeated.

And the princes of Jiankang City, not only did not feel sorry for the defeated Zu Ti, but rejoiced that they did not have the Northern Expedition, and mocked Zu Ti for being overconfident.

However, Zu Ti was not discouraged, but started to attack the scattered refugee armed forces in the Central Plains with more than 1000 brave and remnant troops. He wanted to strengthen his own strength by absorbing the refugee armed forces and make preparations for the next second Northern Expedition. get ready.

When Shi Le temporarily defeated Zu Ti, Wang Jun's army just arrived in Shiyi, which was very close to Xiangguo.

A few days later

The weaker Shi Le took the initiative to attack, sweeping Wang Jun's city in Jizhou, making Wang Jun exhausted.

This trick was also used by the State of Wu against the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was taught by Sun Wu.

another month later

Shi Le successfully lured Wang Jun to lead the main force into the pre-arranged encirclement circle with the classic tactic of "siege the city and fight for aid".

Wang Jun's "Snake of Changshan" was cut into two pieces by Shi Le's cavalry in a panic. The front army was surrounded and the rear army lost its command system.

The elite of Wang Jun's former army formed a circular formation, defending the outer circle with pikemen, throwing arrows with crossbowmen, and blocking the impact of Qiang and Hu cavalry with chariots. This is a battle formation invented by Wei Qing hundreds of years ago, and it is still in use today. It is used, and many variants have been extended, which can be described as very classic.

However, it is meaningless to simply defend to the death. You must have corresponding friendly forces to cooperate with the counterattack, otherwise you will be starved to death.

another half month later

Wang Jun's army was so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs. Many soldiers could only drink their own urine to replenish water every day. When surrounded by Bai Qi.

Rumble!
Just as Shi Le was preparing for the final blow, many black torrents came from the distant horizon.

"It's the iron pagoda of Yan State!" the Xianbei people who were loyal to Shi Le said in horror.

If you want to ask what is the most powerful army in the world today, it is undoubtedly the armored cavalry. Among the armored cavalry, the most powerful is the Iron Buddha of Yan State.

This new type of arms that only appeared at the end of the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development, is now well known in the world, and any regime wants to have its own equipped cavalry.

The cost of equipped cavalry is very high. Even in the Sima Yan period, the entire Jin Dynasty had only [-] equipped cavalry.

However, this is also related to Sima Yan's national policy of recuperating. Otherwise, with the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is still barely possible to raise [-] cavalry.

At the beginning, Wang Jue relied on [-] cavalry to traverse the Central Plains, and he was invincible all over the world.

However, the Iron Buddha of Yan State only charged to a certain distance, and after seeing that Shi Le's encirclement was too thick, he stayed not far away to watch the battle, and did not dare to directly charge Shi Le's army.

"Yan Guo forgets righteousness when it sees benefits, and is unwilling to waste its own strength for the sake of its allies, so next, as long as we make no mistakes in the battle, Yan Guo Iron Buddha will definitely not attack us." Zhang Bin, the counselor, analyzed Shi Le .

Things really happened as Zhang Bin expected. Yan Guo got involved in the Central Plains War because he wanted to come to fish in troubled waters, not to get beaten. How could he lose his strength and fight Shi Le bloody.

The battle quickly became one-sided, however, mistakes still occurred.

In order to compete for military merits, Shi Le's army lost order at the end, and everyone rushed to harvest the heads of Wang Jun's army.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shi Le's army was in disarray when they collected the heads, the Iron Buddha of Yan State finally launched a charge.

Tatata!
Five hundred cavalrymen in cavalry went straight to Shile's Chinese army camp, like a beast, so ferocious that people dare not look directly at it.

Pooh! ——

"Wow!--"

The Iron Buddha was inserted into the Shile Central Army camp like a sharp knife, and many soldiers fled in a hurry.

"General, withdraw!" Zhang Bin said helplessly.

Shi Le had no choice but to flee the battlefield with his guards.

On the battlefield, those Shile soldiers trampled on each other without a leader, and huddled together with Wang Jun's army that was collapsing.

Then, a very strange thing happened.

Both the attacking side and the defending side were defeated. The soldiers of both sides crowded together and were in a state of chaos. Only the iron pagoda of Yan State, who entered the field last, was leisurely capturing prisoners of war on the battlefield. Islands to cultivate plantations.

What's even more speechless is that the Iron Buddha of Yan State not only captured the enemy's soldiers, but also captured the soldiers of the allies by the way. Anyone who was close would be directly arrested.

In order to have more slaves to open up wasteland for himself, Tiefutu of Yan State no longer cared about face, and directly captured his soldiers as slaves in front of his ally Wang Jun.

Under Yan State's operation, the already chaotic battlefield has become even more chaotic. Everyone can no longer tell whether the people around them are enemies or friends. They can only run around, but cannot gather together to resist.

"I am Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, and an ally of your country of Yan!" Wang Jun panicked. When he was ambushed at first, he was desperate. Later, when he was rescued by the Iron Buddha of Yan country, he wept with joy. But now, the country of Yan Tie Futu even killed his allies, and he despaired again.

"Catch him, the whole of Youzhou is ours!" The leader of the Tiefutu in Yan State obviously didn't care about his allies, so he rushed to the lonely Wang Jun with the Tiefutu and captured him.

"Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, has been captured by us. The remaining people, as long as they kneel down and surrender, they will all survive!" General Tiefutu is Yan Houxue's grandson Taishi Hu (Wang Hu/Yan Hu).

Because he does not have a clan quota (family council quota), he cannot use the Yan family name for the time being, and the Wang surname can be changed at any time, so he simply follows his mother Tai Shiyun's surname.

His mother, Tai Shiyun, is the descendant of the famous general Tai Shici, the fifth generation descendant of Tai Shici, that is, the great-great-granddaughter.

In the country of Yan, even the Marquis of Yan has only one seat in the parliament that can be passed on to his descendants.

Therefore, if Tai Shihu wanted to become an official clan child, first, his father had to defeat his uncles, uncles and aunts, and then he himself had to defeat his brothers and sisters.

If you can't do it, then you can only become an ordinary Yan country citizen.

Of course, he is infinitely better than ordinary people. Although he does not have a seat in the parliament and cannot become a child of the clan, he has no worries about food and clothing before he grows up, and he can receive free school education since he was a child.

Before they are adults, they can go to the government of Yan State to receive free rations and receive free school education since they were young.

As for other things, whether it is houses, women, slaves, land, power, wealth, they all need to rely on their own efforts.

The division of nobles in Yan State is as follows:

【Children of the Clan

Obtaining a parliamentary seat/inheriting a parliamentary seat
Some people also have their own fiefdoms, which determine the affairs of Yan State. 】

【Branch children

Did not get a parliamentary seat, but his parents or brothers and sisters have a parliamentary seat.

Before becoming an adult, you can receive free rations in Yandu, you can receive free school education in Yandu, and you need to support yourself when you become an adult]

[distant branch children

There is the blood of the Wang family in the body, and the parents or brothers and sisters are offspring.

They are no different from ordinary people, and those who are miserable will also become slaves and be forced to open up wasteland in overseas plantations. 】

Therefore, before Tai Shihu's father got the quota, he could only be counted as a descendant of a side branch, while Tai Shihu could only be counted as a descendant of a distant branch.

-

Yan Hu, also known as Taishi Hu, also known as Wang Hu, as the grandson of the Marquis of Yan, his legal status in the country of Yan is no different from that of ordinary people. The government does not need to be so troublesome at all. If Yanhu is the grandson of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he can directly demand the privileges openly and aboveboard, and there is no need for the emperor to use his private treasury to secretly cultivate talents. . ——The author of "Biography of World Famous Generals Yanhu": Di Yao
