sweeping the world

Chapter 201 Something is wrong

If there is a theory of luck, then today's barbarians control luck. They occupy major areas such as the Central Plains. Not only do they have a lot of resources, but they also have a large population.

The general trend is on the side of the Hu people. The five major clans have a natural appeal to the miscellaneous Hu people, and there are a large number of Jin people willing to accept the drive. However, as long as there is enough food and grass, some of the five major clans (big families) can really easily recruit A large number of troops, that is, how much combat power they have is a matter of opinion for the beholder.

Regardless of the huge number of troops brought by the Yao family brothers, there are definitely not many clan soldiers belonging to the Yao family. The refugee armed forces are very similar.

What are the characteristics of refugee-like armed forces?It’s just that the ingredients are complicated!

As the sun went down, the offensive and defensive battle of the first day came to an end.

According to the statistics of the casualties by all parties, it was only a daytime attack. The coalition forces died and disappeared in battle reached about [-], and the number of wounded was close to [-].If minor injuries are not counted, at least seven or eight thousand people were lost in one day, which shows how cruel the siege warfare is.

Of course, the Han army would also count the number of casualties, including combat soldiers and slave soldiers. The data obtained by Liu Yan was 670 killed, 980 seriously injured, and minor injuries were not counted.In just one day, the Han tribe lost [-] people.

The ratio of battle losses in the offensive and defensive battles is four to one, which is actually a ratio that does not seem exaggerated. Most of the losses on both sides are on the side of the camp. Should the camp's offense and defense account for five or six out of ten?
"The old man is already dispatching troops to the rear!" Liu Zheng is qualified to call himself an old man no matter in terms of age or status.He said with an ugly face: "Liu Yan has few soldiers, but... I have to admit that they are an elite team."

"I heard that the Han tribe invaded the east of Liao 1, and continued to fight with Goguryeo and Baekje on the (North Korea) peninsula?" Yao Lan pondered: "So, Liu Yan's troops are all year-round fighting troops, and they appear to be elite. Not surprising."

"Those elites are only putting out fires, and most of them are slave soldiers." Yao Jing did not save face for Yao Lan, or even for Liu Zheng: "We only have two who can be counted as soldiers. If you are in your early years, the rest can only be regarded as slave soldiers."

As far as the big forces are concerned, there is never a shortage of slave soldiers. If you go around the place casually, the voluntary and forced ones can always "crash" a lot of them. It depends on how much you can use. How did you direct it?

"That camp was a weak spot left intentionally by Liu Yan." Although Wang Teng was the deputy of the Yao family army, there were already two brothers of the Yao family present. Without the identity of the deputy, he could only be regarded as a strategist. As a result, he He rarely speaks, but every time he speaks, he can get to the point: "What confidence and confidence does he have to dare to fight a war of attrition with us?"

Not to mention, whether it is the older Liu Zheng, the shrewd Yao Lan, or the seemingly stupid Yao Jing, although the three of them felt that something was slightly wrong before, they really did not leave any weak spots for Liu Yan. Thinking about the direction of bloodletting for each other.

The side with fewer troops seeks to engage in a war of attrition, which is really hard to figure out what the way out is.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Wang Teng said slowly and methodically: "The details are up to the three of you to judge."

The military tent fell into silence, and everyone frowned and thought. After thinking for a long time, they really couldn't think of any reason for Liu Yan to fight a war of attrition with them.

"Since the prince has seen the clue, why don't you tell me?" Yao Jing said with a nonchalant expression.

"Hehe." Wang Teng was still laughing?He said slowly, "It's nothing more than that Liu Yan has something to rely on, or he can transfer more troops from it, maybe... has a deal with some other force?"

"It is inevitable to transfer troops from other places." Liu Zheng told some information, and finally said: "Murong Yan is fighting vigorously in Liaodong, so it will not be Murong Xianbei, the most likely is Xuzhou!"

There are too many factions in Shijie Zhao State, every prince is almost a faction, and there must be many families under each faction.

The Yao family had a conflict with Ran Min (now called Li Min) because of things in the northwest. Yao Lan and Yao Jing came here to cut off Ran Min's arm. Shi Jian's faction took the knife.

Since they are going to attack Shi Jian, it cannot be just the will of the Yao family. Yao Yizhong is an important minister of Shi Hu, and he does not seem to have taken refuge in any prince. Does this mean that it is Shi Hu's instruction?
Regardless of the amount, Liu Yan was involved, the battle had already begun, and the next step was to decide the winner.

The next day, before the sun rose in the east, there was already dense smoke rising from all sides.

Looking at the camp of the Yao family army, the soldiers of the Yao family walked rudely from one place to another, and every time they passed a place, there was a burst of chaos.

Yao Jing originally gathered (or coerced) his troops to increase to [-], but after a cold wind and cold, he lost a large number of manpower, and the mercenaries were as good as [-].

The people who were driven out of the camps or shacks came from quite a lot of places, and nearly half of them were natives of Dong'an County. As a result, the population of Dong'an County was greatly reduced. After all, Yao Jing didn't use any civilized means, he just didn't come out. The people attacked directly, gathered a lot of people, but also killed a lot.

Yao Jing's 6 men plus the [-] clan soldiers (Qiang people) brought by Yao Lan later lost thousands of people in the offensive and defensive battle on the first day. The only ones are some Zahu or Jin people.

Look at the people who were driven out. They ranged in age from 40 or [-] to [-] or [-] years old. Not to mention they were dressed in a mess. Most of them had just a mallet or a wooden stick in their hands. Only a few of them looked extremely vicious. Only then can I have a metal weapon.

"Have you sent people to Yanzhou?" Yao Lan was gnawing on a leg of lamb: "This is a long-term war, and we should recruit more people."

Yao Jing was also gnawing on the leg of lamb, with a very bad expression on his face, and said in a muffled voice, "Yanzhou is by default the territory of Prince Kun, so don't overdo it."

The so-called Prince Kun’s full name is Shi Kun. Shi Kun is the eighth son of Shi Hu. He was the King of Ruyin during Shi Hong’s time. Shi Kun’s position as King of Ruyin was neither recognized nor abolished by Shi Hu, which seems extremely extreme. Not embarrassed or awkward.

Even if they are also Hu people, quite a few Hu people don't understand what is going on with the Shi family. For example, many of Shi Hu's heirs were crowned king by Shi Hong, but after Shi Hu killed Shi Hong, he abandoned many of his own heirs. the throne.What is more strange is that Shihu proclaimed himself emperor at the beginning, but within a few years he abolished the title of emperor and changed it to heavenly king.It is probably because of this that Shihu himself is a heavenly king, and he cannot tolerate the existence of so many "kings", so he will successively abolish the titles of many heirs.

"It's more or less concerned about people's feelings." Yao Lan really didn't take Shi Kun seriously, she was just a prince who was neither embarrassed nor embarrassed.He stared at the displeased Yao Jing very seriously, and said, "Don't be unhappy. Although I am the military leader, you are the heir of the Duke of Xiangping County. In the end, all the credit will be yours. The responsibility for failure... hehe!"

Yao Jing was displeased with this point. Of course he deserved the credit, but someone took the blame for his failure. He felt that he was not trusted, which was more uncomfortable than anything for a young and vigorous person.

After eating the imperial meal, the Yao family soldiers drove the slave soldiers out of the camp. Looking at the "quality" of this batch of slave soldiers, it was obvious that they were not as good as those on the first day. At least on the first day, there were no child soldiers aged twelve or thirteen. An extremely old-looking soldier with white temples.

Then again, there is no comparison between people in ancient times and people in modern society. The age of 40 to 40 years old should be said to be in the prime of life in modern times, but the age of 342 to [-] years old was already twilight years for most people in [-] AD. After all, life The quality gap is so obvious.

The troops of the Yao family army and the Qingzhou army left the camp, and the three divisions of the Han tribe also sounded the sound of war drums, which heralded a new day and a new fight was about to begin.

Liu Yan, fully clothed, stood at the top of the city, watched the enemy's movements, smiled and said, "They don't plan to attack from all sides again today?"

Li Kuang smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy army didn't try to please you on the first day. It should be as you expected. The main city and the sub-city were supplemented by harassment and defense, and the lord camped."

The obvious thing is that if you keep attacking the main city and the sub-city of Mimi by force, you will be extremely demoralized if you can't attack for a long time, but if you are a little smarter, you will attack the camp with all your strength and seize the camp. Boost morale.

The main city of Xia Mi was mobilizing troops. Two thousand tribal armed forces and one thousand soldiers were transferred to the west gate, which happened to be in the direction of the Qingzhou military camp led by Liu Zheng.

The offensive and defensive battle of the city is not a full-scale defense. It is reasonable to have both offense and defense. It means choosing the right time, and this requires Liu Yan to judge by himself.

"Xu Zheng's cavalry has rushed towards Dong'an County." Liu Yan was thinking in his mind: "Looking at the Yao family and Liu Zheng's side, fast cavalry are constantly being dispatched. It seems that they are sending troops for reinforcements, but I don't know what Xu Zheng can do. .”

The sound of shouting and killing has already sounded from the camp on the west bank of Jiaoshui. Since Liu Yan is at the west gate, naturally he cannot see the battlefield in the direction of the east gate with the naked eye.However, judging from the movements, it was obvious that the attacking party was attacking from the beginning.

Liu Yan was still choosing the right time, not letting go of any opportunity to attack, but not long after the battle started in the camp, there was a burst of cheers shouting "Winning", which made him stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, did you see that you killed a person who was above ten thousand commanders in the enemy army?" Li Kuang was envious, and looked unwillingly at the enemy soldiers outside the city who were putting on airs and did not dare to step forward.

Didn't Shijie Zhao Guo carry out Sinicization in official positions?There is even such an official position as the head of the Wanfu, which sounds like a nomad?However, Shijie Zhao State is really like that, not only inheriting the official position system of Sima Yi Jin State, but also retaining some official positions unique to the Hu people.

Liu Yan subconsciously checked the map in his mind, but all he could see were green dots and red dots. How could he see anything?
