A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 514: The plan to cut off food goes deep into the enemy camp, and the outcome of the battle is the battle in Jinyang (new year update!!!)
October 4th
Linghu Sheng found Sima Jiao and congratulated:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the White Army has not made any movements in recent days, and the number of reconnaissance cavalry dispatched is getting smaller and smaller day by day. Today, no one has even left the camp. It can be seen that the enemy has reached the point of running out of food.

It is estimated that the enemy's food supply should have been out of food yesterday. The time has come to defeat the enemy. "

Sima Jiao was so happy that he couldn't sit still. He stood up and said "good deeds" three times. At this time, Wang Chang on the side said:
"Is it possible that this is the enemy's strategy to lure me to attack? Why don't we send someone to check it out to avoid being ambushed."

Sima Jiao paced and thought for a moment, then agreed to Wang Chang's suggestion and sent Captain Bu Yuliang to check on the situation in the enemy camp.

Without keeping Sima Jiao waiting for too long, Bu Yuliang came back with a report:
"At the end of the day, when I approached the enemy camp, I saw the soldiers on the wall of the enemy camp were swaying and the flag fell down. It took a long time before someone came to help them up.

The general risked his life and walked a few more steps, entering the range of the enemy's bow. He was not hit by arrows. He took a few bold steps before attracting enemy arrows. However, they were weak and weak. Only a few hit the stomach of the armor, but they did not penetrate. Most of the shots were fired a dozen steps in front of the body.

He was quickly stopped by the enemy general. Even if he got close to the camp wall, no arrows came. He returned to the military formation and pulled out the arrows on the armor. They were iron arrows. At such a distance, they should not be able to penetrate the thin armor.

It can be seen that the enemy army is short of food, causing the soldiers to be unable to draw their bows. "

Sima Jiaoda was overjoyed and immediately ordered the entire army to attack and storm the enemy camp. He ordered the Duanbu cavalry to hold back until the infantry opened the camp gate and rushed into the enemy camp to overwhelm the White army.

He will become the first person in history to capture Bai Shizi on the battlefield, and his name will go down in history, right now.

An hour later, Sima Jiao personally led Wang Chang, Ruan Bao, Zhao Jing, Bu Yuliang and other generals, commanded the infantry, pushed simple siege equipment, and attacked Baiying.

Duan Ji, Lu Juan and other Hu generals, with 20,000 Hu cavalry, were waiting on the flanks of the army, ready to attack the camp at any time.

Just as Sima Jiao expected, the army advanced into Baiying's bow range before a round of city-defending crossbows was fired, causing great damage.

But the next rain of arrows was mostly soft, with only a few crossbow arrows having lethality.

After paying a certain price, the Jin army's equipment finally leaned against the wall, and densely packed Jin army soldiers rushed towards the camp wall to kill.

The White army collapsed at the first touch and rushed towards the camp. Only the walls of the camp on both sides were defended by the well-armed White army and could not be attacked.

But Sima Jiao had no regrets about this. As long as the frontal camp wall was breached and Bai Shu was captured, even if the other three camp walls were not captured, it would not affect the overall situation.

"Squeak!"

The Jin troops who stormed the camp wall went down to the village gate and opened the heavy gate.

When Duan Ji and his family members saw this, they marched straight into the gate.

Duan's cavalry galloped along the road in Bai Camp, but they didn't meet anyone. Duan Ji and Lu Jian were confused. They turned their horses and stepped into a tent, only to see that there was nothing inside.

A huge sense of crisis arose in my heart.

"Brother, brother!" Duan Wenyang and his men came to Duan Ji Lujuan and said quickly:

"No, there's a low wall ahead, blocking our way!"

Duan Ji and Lu Juan finally knew where the crisis came from and shouted to the left and right:

"There is an ambush among us. This is an ambush by the Han people. Get out quickly!"

After saying that, he led Duan Wenyang and his party towards the road they came from, but suddenly turned the horse's head and returned the same way, causing Duan's knights to fall into chaos, with people and horses crowded together and unable to move.

At this time, countless white sergeants holding halberds and spears suddenly emerged from the barracks on both sides. Crossbow-wielding sergeants also appeared from behind the low wall, shooting towards the rafters where the Duan cavalry gathered.

Another group of white troops suddenly appeared, killing the Jin troops at the gate of the scattered village, and prepared to close the gate to block the passage of Duan's cavalry so that Duan's cavalry could not retreat.

For a time, Duan's cavalry from five fronts and backs had no choice but to circle in place, their men fell on their backs and their horses fell over, and countless people died.

Duan Ji and Lu Jian's eyes were split open by this, and they led Duan Wenyang and other bravest Xianbei knights under him to kill towards the gate of the village.

The Bai army at the gate of the village could not withstand the attack of Duan Ji's Lujuan and Duan Wenyang, and suffered huge losses, especially Duan Wenyang, who was superb in martial arts and had no single enemy under his command.

He was quickly killed by several people and reoccupied the village gate.

Duan Ji and his family members quickly ordered their clansmen to escape.

After most of them escaped, they took Duan Wenyang and galloped away, leaving behind Sima Jiao, Wang Chang and others.

The 5,000 soldiers of the White Army's battalions in the east and west also exerted their strength. They quickly recaptured the fallen city wall and lowered the Qianjin Gate. Nearly half of the Jin army remained in the camp.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Sima Jiao and several generals from Wang Chang, relying on their war horses, followed Duan Ji and his family members out of the camp and returned to the military formation outside the city.

Seeing the increasingly weak shouts of killing in the city, Sima Jiao knew that the battle had failed and was about to order a withdrawal.

I saw a group of elite knights appearing at the west gate of Baiying. It was the Hussars battalion that had been eager to kill for a long time. They rushed directly into the 20,000 Jin army formation outside the camp and defeated the Jin army's formation.

Sima Jiao was still in shock at this time and was so frightened that he ran away. There was a scene where 20,000 Jin troops were chased by 3,000 knights of the Hussars Battalion.

After chasing for about two quarters of an hour, another group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the path of the Jin army's escape, about five thousand people, holding white flags and writing the word "begging for work". They were the Han armed forces active in Henan and Hebei, begging for work. Living army.

Under the continuous strangulation of the hussar battalion and the beggar army cavalry, very few people in the Jin army were able to escape, and the entire army was eventually annihilated. In this battle, the White army beheaded 10,000 people and captured 30,000 people.

The generals of Jin, Bu Yuliang, the captain of the Xiang Kingdom, Zhao Jing, the internal historian of Guangping, and Ruan Bao, the prefect of Zhongshan, were all trapped in the Bai camp and could not escape.

Among them, Bu Yuliang was beheaded by Liu Cheng, Sima of the Fifth Military Camp; Zhao Jing was beheaded by Ma Xie; Ruan Bao died under the random arrows of the White Army.

Youzhou Governor Wang Chang and Sima Jiao escaped from Baiying together, but were overtaken by Hu Yanying and beheaded.

Sima Jiao was captured by Tian Tian, ​​the leader of the beggar army, and sent to Bai Shu's military tent.

As for the Duan cavalry, because their horses were fast and they left early, only more than 6,000 cavalry were left behind. The captured Hu people were given to the beggar army by Bai Shu, allowing them to deal with it on their own.

Not only that, but all the baggage brought by the Jin army was also seized, and the food and grass problem was solved.

Bai Shu returned the five thousand captured horses to the Hussars Battalion and the Fifth Military Battalion to restore their armaments.

October th
Bai Shu crossed the Ming River and captured Guangping easily.

In the days that followed, thanks to Sima Jiao's cooperation, Bai Shu captured the entire Guangping Kingdom without spending a single soldier.

Just when the Bai army was about to take over Xiangguo, they learned that Xiangguo was occupied by Han and Zhao general Shi Le.

Ma Xie was about to go to the troops stationed in Xiangguo, so he had to write to Bai Shu, who was still in Guangping, asking for further instructions on whether to march to recapture Xiangguo.

After careful consideration, Bai Shu decided to let Ma Xie come back. Now that the soldiers were very tired, it would be difficult for them to fight again this year.

October th
Bai Shu hosted a banquet in Guangping for the leader of the begging army, Tian Zhen, and other generals of the begging army.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet. Bai Shu thanked the beggar army for their help in a long way, and invited the beggar army to join the white army and work together to drive out the barbarians.

But Tian Tian refused and said bluntly:

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Grand Sima. However, we were inspired by King Bai's Order to Defeat the Hu, and learned the true identity of Han Zhao, Liu Kun, Wang Jun, Shi Le and others, and raised troops to cry out for the Han people.

It happened that Wuyuan Baiwu and I had an old relationship, and I heard that Grand Sima Zheng was fighting with Sima in Guangping. Sima Jiao got help from the Xianbei people, and the situation was very unfavorable.

I have always wanted to see with my own eyes what the princes of the Bai Kingdom are like, so I came from Bingzhou day and night. When I saw them today, I found out that they were all highly virtuous and virtuous people. They had nothing to do with the people and they were the saviors of the Han people.

It also strengthened our determination to resist the Hu people and the Jin court.

Since the imperial court won’t save the world, we can only save ourselves.

Most of our relatives and brothers are in You and Bing Prefectures, and the Hu people in these two prefectures are even more powerful. There are still hundreds of thousands of people under the iron heel of the Hu people. We cannot turn a blind eye.

Therefore, we decided to choose a day to return to Bingzhou. We also hoped that Da Sima would regain Bingzhou as soon as possible and bring peace to the people of Bingzhou. "

Bai Shu stood up and bowed to Tian Zhen and other generals of the beggar army: "You are true righteous men!"

Then he ordered that half of the captured goods be handed over to the beggar army and brought back to Bingzhou. He also promised that if there is any need in the future, you can write to Bai Guo at any time. Bai Guo will not be far away and will come to rescue you. This is Bai's promise.

Tian Tian and others were overjoyed and moved. Then they said goodbye to Bai Shu and other generals, and slowly returned to Bingzhou with thousands of war horses, enough food for 30,000 people for a month, cattle and sheep, and many gold, silver and jewelry.

October 15th

Bai Shu left Ma Xie to lead five thousand troops to garrison in Guangping and lead the army.

In this battle, Bai Shu captured the three counties of Guangping, Dunqiu, and Yangping, completely cutting off the Jin court's direct tentacles in Hebei.

Nowadays, in the land of Hebei, apart from the Han and Zhao kingdoms, there are only Bingzhou occupied by Liu Kun, Ji and Youzhou occupied by Wang Jun, and the Tuoba tribe of Monan grassland who are eyeing them.

As for the Xianbei cavalrymen such as Tuoba Yulu, Duan Ji and Lujuan who came to aid Sima Jiao, they had already sent their troops back to their territory with the remaining troops after hearing that Sima Jiao's entire army had been destroyed.

Just as the battle in the Bai Kingdom ended, the winner was also decided on the Jinyang battlefield between Han and Zhao, Liu Kun and the Tuoba tribe in the north.

After Liu Cong failed to capture Chang'an, he sent his son Liu Can to attack Jinyang occupied by Liu Kun. Liu Kun escaped with the defeated army. His parents were killed by Liu Can because they could not escape, and Jinyang City was occupied by Han and Zhao.

Liu Kun hurriedly reported the news to Tuoba Yilu and cried for help.

Tuoba Yilu learned that his brothers' parents had been killed and Jinyang had been occupied. He was also afraid that Liu Kun would be gone and he would have to face Han and Zhao Bingfeng alone.

He sent his eldest son Tuoba Liuxiu, nephew Tuoba Pugen and others to lead tens of thousands of Tuoba cavalry as the vanguard to attack Jinyang. He and Liu Kun personally led an army of 200,000 as backup.

Liu Can was extremely frightened, burned his baggage, broke through and escaped. The Tuoba cavalry gave chase and killed Liu Cong's generals Liu Ru, Liu Feng, Jian Ling, Zhang Ping, Xing Yan and others. Liu Cong's army lay dead for hundreds of miles.

Liu Kun repeatedly requested Tuoba Yilu to continue marching in order to completely defeat Liu Cong and attack Han and Zhao.

But Tuoba Yilu was unwilling. Not only did he leave the next day, he also left his generals behind and occupied Jinyang City. Liu Kun had no choice but to send Tuoba Yilu out of the country as a gift and moved his headquarters to Jiuyuan in Xinxing County. .
