Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Zhuozhou Zhongjun's army is next to the official yamen, and we can hear the wailing and moaning from the yamen day and night. Baidu: +In this era, there are no antibiotics. The wounded soldiers who are injured in the trunk can only wait to die slowly, and the limbs can only be sawed off, which is very cruel.

The location of the Chinese army was chosen at that time, taking into account the image of the Zhou Dynasty army and not disturbing the people. Seeing that the place in front of the official mansion was very spacious, a fence was erected; it was actually very noisy.

Guo Shao was sitting in the big tent, listening to the sorrows that came from time to time, while listening to the generals discussing underneath... Xiao Simwen's ministry had already arrived in Zhuozhou.

...Guo Shao was a little distracted. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Empress Fu Shi as if he was "inspiring in his heart": The empress's eyes and ears are very powerful, he has seen it; he was ordered to station in Zhuozhou, should the queen know?

She must be worried.

Rao is Guo Shao who has never experienced a high-level power struggle, but the queen told him that he must return to Beijing, and probably wants to understand her layout.

When the emperor Chai Rong died, if the army supporting the queen was in the outer town, 20,000 people would really be nothing. Any number of places in the town could make up 20,000 troops; not to mention Zhuozhou is too far away from Tokyo. More than a thousand miles... But if you are in Tokyo, the usage is very particular! Once the 20,000 people have the support of those in power and the Privy Council, their power will expand indefinitely.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of elites in Tokyo, those soldiers are usually scattered, it takes a lot of trouble to mobilize, and there will be a lot of movement. Military commanders have no right to transfer troops in Tokyo. The Privy Council decides where and how many troops are stationed... And if the queen regent and truly trust Guo Shao, if 20,000 people gather together, Tokyo is an absolute advantage. Strength can easily divide various armies.

Guo Shao joined the Forbidden Army at the age of 14, and 22 years old this year. He has been in the Forbidden Army for eight years. He knows the situation of the Forbidden Army too well.

The armies are stationed in many places in the city, and more than half of the people are completely scattered home to rest; as long as someone uses a certain army without authorization, it will immediately be a real handle for treason, and he will suffer if he does not have time to assemble the army. To the encirclement and suppression of the Queen’s cronies...Whoever wins and who loses is for the time being, the Privy Council must go down with a few orders and mobilize other troops to fight the rebels together. Even if the other generals vacillate and wait and see, should the Privy Council’s military order follow? If you don't listen, it is disobedience. Afterwards, there is no difference between rebellion. It is not wait and see but choice. Therefore, generals who have no position will habitually abide by the Privy Council’s military orders.

Whoever directly rebels by force in Tokyo will be beaten by the entire Forbidden Army as long as no accident occurs. Unless he can replace all the four main generals of the Forbidden Army, at least most of them can be replaced by generals who support him...If the influence is so great, then no system will work.

Therefore, Guo Shao must go back to Tokyo and bring his own "descent" Tiger Jie troops back to the left side, so as to help the queen control the situation as quickly as possible; otherwise, the queen has no soldiers and is afraid of doing everything, and there is no force to deter you. Don't dare to move those proud soldiers.

...The generals in the account talked for a while and are now complaining. Dong Zunxun said: "Suddenly we were asked to guard Zhuozhou, and the army in the city did not prepare in advance. Now that the grain road is attacked, how long will Zhuozhou stay?"

Luo Yanhuan also echoed: "The big horsemen of Xiao Siwen left Gu'an and pressed for Zhuozhou. Our cavalry could not beat him, so we could only let the rangers attack and disturb the grain road; the horsemen of Longjie Army at Qigou Pass did not move. No food will be delivered. This situation is really strange. Should the officials sit and watch us in Zhuozhou?"

Another said: "What if the Khitan master led a large army to besiege Zhuozhou now?"

Li Chuyun calmly said: "The Liao people can't encircle Zhuozhou, and the division of troops will not be enough to fight against the main force of the Great Zhou. Unless the official is standing still in Maguannan, it is impossible to throw away the elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army."

Guo Shao, who had been silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking of alone, suddenly said, "I have a way. Call the commander and the generals to arrange the troops."

...

Xiao Siwen's large group of men and horses are standing and watching from Zhuozhou ten miles away, and he is tired of this chase scene.

First, the light cavalry in southern Zhuozhou was driven out by the Zhuozhou cavalry and was chased everywhere. Then he led his army to deal with the Zhoujun cavalry in Zhuozhou; as a result, Zhou Jun retreated to the city. Xiao Siwen's retreat was neither an attack nor a way, and there was no way...It was obviously useless to attack the city.

Xiao Siwen’s Khitan and Xi soldiers came out with more than 10,000 troops. The field is already a force that can move forward and retreat freely. They can attack the city or not. The Khitan people can't attack the city. More than 10,000 horses can't even be surrounded by Zhuozhou. How to attack?

"The general Zhou Jun who guards Zhuozhou doesn't know who it is, but he is not impatient or impatient." Xiao Siwen said, "If there is no way, first withdraw the light soldiers near Qigou Pass and return to Gu'an and wait for a while."

He was upset, suddenly a soldier came in and said, "Brother Xi slaughtered a village in the south!"

Xiao Siwen was furious, and said: "We are going to fight, he is all right to do the bird thing? Why did that guy bother him?"

The soldier said: "I don't know."

Xiao Siwen shouted: "Call Brother Xi back and ask him to come to me to make it clear!"

At this moment, another newspaper reported: "The Zhuozhou Horsemen have come out and are coming to us."

"Huh?" Xiao Siwen immediately put aside Brother Xi's troubles and hurriedly asked, "How many people?"

The minister who came to report said: "One thousand and five, maybe two thousand."

After hearing this, Xiao Siwen smiled, and immediately fired his troops, and ordered one man to go round north and one to go south, ready to copy Zhou's back path. Then he led the main force to fight head-on. At this time, Brother Xi also returned, Xiao Siwen only cared about fighting, not caring about him.

Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Zhou army came out and ran. They may have noticed the movement of the Liao army intending to encircle, and then turned around and ran. Xiao Siwen led the army to chase down Zhuozhou City and found that Zhou Jun Ma Bing was still outside the city. At the moment, he ordered Nanyuan Heavy Cavalry to be a forward and charge directly.

Suddenly, it seemed that both sides hadn't prepared how to prepare, and the front was killed. The two armies rushed back and forth in different directions, fighting inextricably.

Immediately before Xiao Siwence, he saw the warrior horses under the city running around like a whirlpool. The horses' hoofs on the plain roared like muffled thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky. He ordered more generals to outflank the left and right sides and attack both sides of the Zhou army.

When the large groups of cavalry on both sides had just dispatched, suddenly the city gate opened and the Zhou army retreated in file. As soon as the rear army left, the front army was immediately turbulent, and the Zhou Dynasty horse team was defeated without waiting for the reinforcements of the Liao army to go up.

At this time, the general next to Xiao Siwen said: "The Zhou army opened the door and fled. The Liao army's cavalry will take the opportunity to follow into the city... Could it be that Zhuozhou was breached?"

Xiao Siwen said: "There are so many people in front, it's too late to send orders to get them back. Besides, why can't we enter the city?"

No one of the generals could tell why they could not enter the city for fear of being ambushed? That’s strange. The Liao army generals present had never encountered a defender who would take the initiative to open the gate and amplify the army to enter the city "ambush." ​​Isn’t that just playing around with the city... Han'er often defends the city. The Liao army has fought against various dynasties and generations for decades, and almost took this as common sense as soon as they opened their eyes: to siege a city, to break through the city wall is equivalent to conquering a city!

At this moment, a young general said: "If the army has prepared an ambush in the city, we will suffer."

After hearing this, Xiao Siwen turned his head and said, "Go up from the inside of the city wall, like walking on the ground. How can Han'er ambush?"

The young general said: "The last general was calculated three years ago in a place called Wufang Town in Luzhou, Hedong. He also thought about it at that time. He thought it was easy to see that the town wall was dilapidated, but he rushed into the door and found Han'er at The town has built fortifications again... It's a **** of a ghost. We have never seen a fortification inside the city instead of defending the wall. I led my troops under siege, and died dozens of people who were lucky enough to escape."

The Khitan generals were also surprised to hear, and indeed they had never seen guarding the city gates and walls. On the whole land, it is the Han who are always repairing the city to defend; the Khitan attacking the city is almost a Han city. It has never been seen and heard that the Han people do everything on the city wall and the city gate. The method is dazzling...what about using the "golden water" boiled with dung water, and using muddy gates to prevent fire. But it just happened that I had never seen a fight after opening the city gate and letting others in.

Xiao Siwen twisted the beard above his lips, and thought for a while and said: "Send someone up to find Brother Xi, and tell him to guard against Han's tricks and guard against ambushes. Tell him that the Khitan people must be like tigers, ferocious and alert."

At this time, there was a chaos at the gate of the city, and the Khitan cavalry and the Zhou army rebels rushed into the gate while fighting together. There are soldiers everywhere inside and outside the city gate. Where can they be locked? Whoever moves the city gate is shot into a hornet's nest or knocked into flesh by the Khitan cavalry.

Xiao Siwen's follower found Brother Xi. There were screams and hooves around the sky. He had to say loudly: "The king asked me to tell the general, beware of Han'er's trickery! The king makes the general alert like a tiger!"

Brother Xi cursed and said: "What tigers or beasts? The city is broken. The first time I ran into a guard who used a trick to open the gate of my own city!" He didn't care at all, patted his horse and walked away. After being accompanied by the Great King of the South Campus, he said to the people around him: "The King is getting more and more timid."

Brother Xi followed a large group of cavalry in filed in, dispatching people to dismount and attack the tower along the stone steps of the city wall, while chasing after the defeated Zhou Dynasty horse soldiers running around on the central axis of the city. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

These cities were built by Han people at the beginning. They were basically square with four gates. The two main avenues in the middle formed a "cross" shape, which was convenient for the army to quickly move to the four walls when defending the city.

More and more horsemen of the Liao Army rushed onto the main road and ran very smoothly on the flat and wide central axis.

Countless horses are roaring, and the entire city seems to be trampled by iron hoofs! Brother Xi yelled happily after entering the city: "If you don't take the knife for three days, you will kill it!"

The horses and horses spread everywhere like a flood, and the street was gradually filled up like a gutter.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a red square flag suddenly hung on a tower in the city, and then "bang, bang..." Many fireworks flew into the air, blooming in the air. Even many Khitans couldn't help but look up. Unfortunately, the blue sky and white sun are not so beautiful, but the black smoke after the fireworks exploded in the sky for a long time.

"Not good!" Brother Xi's expression changed. He didn't know what was going on for a while, but the sign was very wrong and made him feel bad.
