Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 110 Battle of Bishui

The first year of Xingping, early August.

On a hill beside the Beishui River in Yuexi County, a large scroll with the surname Liu with gold characters and white background was blown by the strong autumn wind, making hunting sounds from time to time.

Under the banner, Liu Zhangan was sitting on a bed, with Zhang Yi and Wu Ban standing beside him.

Peng Yi, who was proud of his talent and arrogance, took the command flag and directed the troops of Shen Mi and Lou Fa according to the prepared plan, approaching the Soyi camp occupying the two crossings of Beishui.

On the road from Anshang County to Beishui, Peng Yi gave full play to his talents. According to Liu Zhang's order, he commanded several battles with Soyi and performed well, so he was recognized by Liu Zhang. , basically issuing military orders and arranging the affairs of the entire army, Liu Zhang made plans and then entrusted them to Peng Yi for operation.

Therefore, Liu Zhang is quite free now. He only needs to sit on the bed, and he can think about other things in his mind. For example, Gan Ning was dispatched to Zangda County. I wonder what Gan Ning's progress is now. Another example is that he was dispatched. When Wu Yi and Xu Meng arrived at Zhuti County, did they capture the ferry that held the water?

Another example is Yang Hong, who came from a wealthy family in Jianwei County. He was sent by Liu Zhang to the vassal state of Shu County to oversee the implementation of the reopening of the Yanniu Road by Lang Tan, the king of Yi Niu.

Although Yi Wang Lang Tan of Yanniu Road issued a letter of surrender and knelt down to lick Liu Zhang, and arranged for his son Lang Lu to be used as a hostage, his attitude was as low as dust.

But Liu Zhang considered that Lang Tan had betrayed him once, and his loyalty was either absolute or absolutely disloyal.

Lang Tan's current fear of surrender was only due to the military power of Liu Zhang's army, so Liu Zhang prepared a backup plan and sent Yang Hong, who was familiar with the geography and people of Shu County's vassal country, to supervise Lang Tan's behavior.

Of course, Yang Hong did not go alone, but brought the Yang family's troops. Only the power of the army can truly intimidate the Soyi.

Liu Zhang's divergent thoughts were put away as Shen Mi and Lou Fa's troops advanced to Soyi's camp, and he observed the battle situation in front of him.

The Soyi camp in Yuexi County across the street looks to be well-built, with ditches, antlers, and fences all in place.

Regarding this camp that looks like the Han army, Liu Zhang didn't find anything surprising after thinking about it. The Yi people in Yueqi County have been dealing with the Han people for many years and have learned a lot of the Han people's advanced military technology. Now they are facing the Han people. When the army was in force, they all used it.

The Yi people in Yueqi County learned only about painting tiger-like dogs and Handan toddlers, but they were not proficient enough, not deep enough, and not detailed enough.

If they really wanted to resist Liu Zhang's army, the Soyi should not just build a camp with narrow and shallow trenches, insufficiently sharp antlers, and strange-shaped trees as fences, but should build a real fortress.

A city wall made of rammed earth must be built around the fort. The rammed earth is mixed with sand, gravel, tamarisk, reeds, etc. The base of the wall is about half a foot to a foot wide, and the height must be higher than a foot. Above, the wall needs to have parapets, archery holes, and towers.

Otherwise, just like now, Shen Mi and Lou Fa's military formation boldly and easily advanced to Soyi's camp and began to attack Soyi's camp.

The several groups of soldiers in front of Shen Mi's army were all wearing two layers of heavy armor, holding shields, and holding sharp axes in their hands. They regarded Soyi's arrow rain as mosquito bites, and did not take it seriously at all, and moved forward silently. Advance, the pace is very steady, there is no disorder.Not long after, this group of soldiers with sharp axes arrived in front of Soyi's camp. They were handed a few wooden boards from behind for them to step across the ditch, remove the antlers that were in the way, and split open the gate of Soyi's camp.

Elsewhere, Lou Fa also used heavy armored soldiers to advance, but Lou Fa's troops were not harassed by the rain of arrows from Soyi. All the archers among Soyi who dared to take the lead were killed by Lou Fa and his troops. The soldiers who were good at shooting were killed.

Especially Lou Fa's archery skills, it is one thing to miss the arrow. Lou Fa's speed of firing the arrow reminded Liu Zhang of the Gatling gun in his previous life.

Wu Ban, who was beside Liu Zhang, had his eyes widened and his mouth opened in surprise. Regarding Lou Fa's archery skills, he had only one thought in his mind: 'It's amazing'.

In comparison, his archery skills are nothing compared to Lou Fa's.

The offensive of Liu Zhang's men Shen Mi and Lou Fa went very smoothly, which was a good thing for Liu Zhang, but for the father and son Gao Yuan and Gao Ding who were watching the battle in the Soyi camp, it was a big bad thing.

"Father, this group of Soyi have lost their courage. We can't stay here. We should return to Qiongdu for further discussion." Gaoding's tone was a little decadent. After several battles from Anshang to Beishui, the Soyi felt that The Han army lost their fighting spirit. Even if they relied on the camp for defense, they still had no determination to hold on.

After all, it was because they were a patchwork army. Except for Gao's 2000 men who were more determined to fight, most of the other barbarians who were lured here came for profit and had no intention of fighting to the death.

Gao Yuan nodded helplessly. He could no longer defend and had no choice but to leave. As a general, if you don't fight, you will defend. If you don't fight, you will leave. If you don't obey, you will escape. If you don't leave, you will escape. If you don't escape, you will die. He doesn't want to die yet.

If you return to Qiongdu, you still have a chance to make a comeback, but if you stay here and hold on to the camp with these duplicitous barbarians, there is no chance.

Zangzhou County, Yachi River.

Gan Ning successfully opened several gaps in Soyi's camp, led his soldiers to fight in, and rushed towards Soyi's central army.

His military commander, Zhao Liu, also led fifty knights and rushed into Soyi's camp. However, Zhao Liu did not rush towards Soyi's Chinese army camp. Instead, he kept hunting and killing Soyi in an attempt to stabilize the army. The small leader of Soyi lived in chaos and set fire to the Soyi camp.

The barbarians who were caught off guard were in chaos in the camp. They couldn't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the dark night, so they waved their swords around them to protect their own safety. However, their actions made the entire camp even more chaotic. Get up, a camp roar is brewing.

Entrusted by the county magistrate Zhu Bao, Qu Shuai Yazi, who serves as the leader of this Soyi army, has no choice but to gather dozens of personal guards to resist the enemy and attack randomly in the dark. So barbarians, lest they die in the rebellion.

The chaotic situation in Soyi's camp also caused certain obstacles to the troops led by Gan Ning, but the impact was not too great. Gan Ning and his troops quickly arrived at Soyi's central army and targeted them. A group of Soyi gathered together to protect Soyi Qushuai Yazi.

Yazi naturally noticed the group of Han troops rushing towards the center of the army, as well as the leading general looking at him with a toothy smile, which made him feel a chill in his body, as if he had fallen into the coldest winter.
