Xiliang Iron Cavalry

When the army went out, the people rushed to send them off. The soldiers were given food that they were reluctant to eat at home. Many soldiers had red eyes, and even many old men entrusted the young people at home to practice martial arts hard and join the army. , Facing such a situation, Xu Huang was moved again. {.

Jiang Yu led five hundred cavalry and galloped towards Hanyang County, leaving only smoke and dust billowing along the way.

Jia Rong led 100 cavalry in the center, and 120 cavalry were led by Ulan. The remaining [-] cavalry were placed in Lingzhou City to keep in touch with the army at all times. Before leaving, Jia Rong also told Zhang Li Recruit an army to protect Pingxiang. The [-] soldiers of Lone Wolf have been sent to the front line by Jia Rong three days ago to obtain more information for the army.

Since they were all cavalry, the Xiliang army was marching very fast, and scouts scattered in all directions recklessly. In ancient times when communication was extremely backward, scouts were the eyes and ears of an army.

The counties and counties along the way were very cooperative, and they did their best to support the Xiliang army's supply of food and grass. Even the source of soldiers was opened to Jia Rong. A bitter battle, as for the life and death of these counties, Jia Rong is not worried, after all, he is not a saint.

In this regard, Jia Rong is not polite. Since there is such cannon fodder, why let the soldiers loyal to him die? Nearly 2000 infantrymen were assembled along the way, all of which were handed over to Zhang Wei for management. In the county, Zhang Wei's rights have become much smaller, and the team of [-] people can just appease Zhang Wei by the way. Even if Zhang Wei doesn't value these things, Jia Rong will do it.

In fact, Jia Rong's army can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the Han army. In an era when there were many infantry and few cavalry, it was so difficult to form such a cavalry with a scale of more than 3000. All the war horses in the Central Plains have been eunuchs, and they belong to one-off consumables. The war horses are even more precious. Three thousand war horses consume more than three thousand war horses. A small part of the war horses in the Rongjun have not been eunuched, and the Qiang people have excellent riding skills. In their view, only strong horses can be matched with warriors. In this way, many war horses can be used as horse breeds, which solves the problem of some war horses in the Xiliang Army. question.

The situation along the way was quickly passed to Jia Rong by a well-known scout, including some important information ahead to the army through the hands of the lone wolf. According to the information obtained, Han Sui's Xiliang Army is carrying out military operations in Jincheng County. Reorganization can be done before Han Sui arrives in Pingxiang City.

Seven days later, Jia Rong led the army to the outside of Pingxiang City. Looking at the low city wall of Pingxiang City, Jia Rong smiled wryly, can such a city wall withstand an enemy charge? They have already conquered Jincheng County, what kind of siege tools can't be obtained, and there are people like Han Sui in the army, let alone make people despise.

It is true that there is Li Wenhou among the Qiang people, but this time the rebellion combined Xianling Qiang and Han Sui Bianzhang, so we have to pay attention to it. If you are not careful, you will die and the country will not be destroyed, and Jia Rong will only gradually forgotten.

Jia Rong wanted to retreat, but Dong Zhuo was stationed at Longguan, with the intention of supervising his teachers.

Jiang Yu had already arrived in Pingxiang city first, and the county magistrate, county magistrate and other officials did not dare to neglect, and went out of the city to meet him.

Jia Rong's prestige had already spread throughout the government and the public when the Yellow Turban was broken in the Battle of Changshe. In addition to the battle of the Qiang people last year, no one dared to underestimate this young general.

After friendly greetings with the county magistrate, Jia Rong led the army into the city, and the two sides of the street were already full of people, who seemed to be lining the streets to welcome them, no matter whether the people were sincere or not.

From these people, Jia Rong did not appreciate the kind of enthusiasm and heartfelt welcome from the people of Beidi County and Lingzhou, which is a bit cold in comparison.

Under the command of the county magistrate, the army was stationed in the city, and three hundred personal guards followed Jia Rong like a shadow. According to Li Li's training, Jia Rong's absolute safety must be guaranteed no matter what the situation was. As a qualified personal guard, even if he sacrifices his life, he will not hesitate to do so.

Three hundred personal guards followed, but Jia Rong didn't take it seriously either. In times of war, anything can happen, so it's good to take precautions before they happen.

Just as Jia Rong walked into the county government office, three hundred guards surrounded the county government office heavily. If outsiders saw it, they would think that something big was going to happen to the county government office.

Jia Rong smiled wryly at the county magistrate at the side: "There is no way, these are personal guards, magistrate Liu forgives."

County magistrate Liu said it was nothing, but he had already despised Jia Rong in his heart. He had never seen any general go out with so many soldiers. He was obviously afraid of death, and Jia Rong was nothing more than that.

The county magistrate of Pingxiang was surnamed Liu, and he was a very thin old man. According to the county magistrate, the people of Pingxiang had almost fled when they heard that the Qiang army was about to attack. There are only a small number of old people and young adults.

As a matter of course, the county government office became Jia Rong's office, and the county magistrate Liu was waiting on the sidelines. At this time, there is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young, otherwise the county magistrate Liu could stand on the city wall to persuade him. The rebels surrendered.

On the day Jia Rong came, he immediately posted a notice in Pingxiang, all young and middle-aged people who are 15 years older can go to the county government to sign up to join the militia. Going to take it back.

Fifty thousand guan, in today's Han Dynasty, is definitely a huge fortune, so big that it is unimaginable. Just imagine that a consistent money is equal to 5000 yuan, and 5000 guan is [-] million yuan, [-] million five baht coins , Even counting takes a long time.

No matter what time, money is easy to use. As a future man, Jia Rong understands the meaning of this sentence better, but County Magistrate Liu doesn't take Jia Rong's notice seriously. In his opinion, even if you don't need to spend this money , As long as the notice is issued, the people will also apply.

On the second day after the notice was posted, there were not many servants gathered at the gate of the county government office, and there were no longer a small number of them. The most were middle-aged and elderly people, and there were no longer a few young and middle-aged people.

Unless they were particularly old, Jia Rong collected them all, forming a team of more than a thousand people, all of whom lived in the city, and Jia Rong did not need to pay for their meals. This army also has a very good name, the militia.

After receiving the news from the lone wolf, the vanguard army of the rebels (Han Sui Bianzhang and the Qiang people's team are called the rebels) will arrive in Pingxiang in three days. Time is running out, Jia Rong immediately prepared a series of countermeasures .

The first thing to do is to close the city gate tightly, and block all the gates with big stones, leaving only the north gate. If reinforcements come, you don't have to bother to move it.

Blocking the city gates can save the army even more. The most important thing at present is to strengthen the city walls. Now a team of nearly 7000 people has assembled in the small city of Pingxiang. With the gradually thickening of the city wall, Jia Rong's heart also relaxed a little.

In order to prevent Han Sui, an old fox, from digging tunnels to attack the city, many urns have been buried in the city. As long as the Qiang people dare to do something on the ground, the city can get news immediately.

If time permits, Jia Rong will even dig a deep trench outside the city, allowing soldiers to fight the enemy in the trench.

Today's Pingxiang City is not to say that it is as solid as gold, nor is it comparable to three days ago. The entire Pingxiang City is shrouded in intensive preparations, and boulders and trees are desperately transported into the city.

When the vanguard army of the rebel army arrived at the foot of Pingxiang City, the city wall was densely covered with swords and guns, which made all the rebel soldiers gasp. Such a city, even if tens of thousands of troops attacked together, would take a lot of time to break through , different from the Han army, this time the rebel army assembled in a hurry, and the food and grass were insufficient. They wanted to take advantage of the harvest season to make a fortune in the territory of the Han Dynasty. What kind of resistance is encountered.

The bravery of the Han soldiers made the rebel soldiers dare not despise them. The majesty of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for many years, which is why the Han people feel superior to others.

The large black characters embroidered on the banner made many rebels even more chilled.

In terms of momentum, Jia Rong's Xiliang army has already won the victory. If you observe the troops on the city wall carefully, you will find that many of them are old and weak, but the nearly 6000 Han soldiers are not the vanguard of this rebel army. What the team could win, the reason why the rebels were able to attack Pingxiang City so quickly was because other counties and counties were only temporarily recruited soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was not enough. After seeing some of the situation on the city wall, the rebels outside the city Pioneer was also relieved, there was a group of temporarily formed troops in the emotional city.

Jia Rong stood in full armor on Pingxiang City, staring closely at the vanguard of two thousand rebels outside the city. The rebels had come a long way and were already a little tired. Among the 2000 people, there were more than a thousand infantrymen. .

Deliberately weak, but also to paralyze the rebels who came from afar. The three thousand cavalry that had already assembled in the city were quietly waiting for Jia Rong's order. The eyes of the Qiang soldiers were even more bloodthirsty. The most important thing is force, and the best way to test force is war. Qiang soldiers are not fools. The warriors they admire are not only powerful generals, but the key is that they can continue to lead them to victory.

The rebel army outside the city was also looking at the Han army on the city. Suddenly, a general discovered something and communicated with the general next to him, sometimes bursting into bursts of arrogant laughter.

Seeing that the vanguard of the rebels outside the city had lowered their vigilance, Jia Rong made a gesture to the three thousand cavalrymen who were already under the city ready to go, and the north gate, which was facing the rebels, creaked open. Thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city and rushed towards the vanguard of the rebel army not far away.

Jia Rong walked down the city wall, turned on his horse, slapped the horse's back, and the horse ran out of the city like an arrow from the string. Three hundred guards followed closely, and Xu Huang also joined the battlefield with a long spear.

Ask for red and reward, your support is the driving force for the continuous improvement of cavalry, thanks to the friends who have always supported cavalry, without you, there would be no cavalry today!
