sweeping the world

Chapter 342 Breakout Begins

Sure enough, someone contacted the Han army to discuss how they would be treated if they rebelled before the battle?

Liu Yan had received no less than twenty letters before. The lowest position of the letter was a lieutenant and the highest was a miscellaneous general. Among them was Hu Yansheng, a Huyi general in Shijie. Their letters only talked about one issue, whether to surrender or not. It is to lead an uprising, some do not ask for any rewards but only life and freedom, and some ask for official positions or money.

One day, Yao Yizhong's guess was too correct. Today's Central Plains doesn't care about integrity or morality at all, and betrayal happens all the time under the mix of multi-ethnic groups.

Liu Yan, Ji Chang and others were discussing how to use it. The frontline officers came to report important information. There were women singing in the enemy camp, it was still the kind of extremely sad love song.

The barracks are not allowed to make noise, it is related to the measure of control.In ancient times, it was not allowed to sing freely in the army, because it is generally believed that singing will make soldiers feel homesick, and it will shake the morale of the soldiers, making it difficult to lead the army when people lose their minds.

"The sound of singing in the enemy camp, no matter what the song is, means that Yao Yizhong has lost control." Sang Yu spoke quickly and excitedly: "Your Majesty, please agree to the requests of those people first to defeat the enemy. For the most important."

Just now they were reading the letter written by the enemy general and school, discussing whether to agree to the request and so on.According to Liu Yan, regardless of whether the situation is beneficial to oneself, only those who can agree can agree, and those who cannot agree can directly refuse.

Many people don't understand why Liu Yan did that. Their idea is to agree first, and wait for me to be a knife and a man to be a fish. What about those who surrendered.

Liu Yan insisted on the issue of reputation, and believed that the reputation of the Han Dynasty was not so cheap. Compared with the gains and losses of a war, reputation is the fundamental thing that needs to be maintained.

Sincerely, few people understand Liu Yan's persistence. They have repeatedly advised against the idea of ​​"soldiers, tricks", thinking that as long as they can win an easy victory and lose a little reputation, it is nothing.

Perhaps those people are right to say that the battlefield cannot speak of credibility. After all, since the Spring and Autumn Period, China's military culture has always been about using any means to achieve the goal.

Classical warfare has long since disappeared with the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and deceitful thinking has filled the military core of Chinese civilization, spreading to any non-military surface. Perhaps it is really ridiculous to talk about credibility to the enemy, but it is really good not to talk about credibility. ?Will it make the entire nation no longer trust integrity and morality, and become unscrupulous in failing to achieve its goals?

Liu Yan has his own persistence, reputation is never cheap, even for enemies.It doesn't matter how weird and cruel the strategic arrangement in the military is, but as long as the promise is made, whether it is to one's own people or the enemy, the promise is a promise.It may seem like a stupid behavior, it may be really stupid to ordinary people, but it is not stupid to the ruler, it is to protect the future of a country and a nation.

"Chang is the commander-in-chief of the army." Ji Chang said with a smile, "Hehe," he said, "It's up to Chang to agree with those people. It has nothing to do with your majesty."

Liu Yan immediately smiled wryly.He glanced at the people present, looked at their expectant expressions, and said solemnly: "Respond to those who surrendered, what kind of treatment should be given, based on the performance during the war, and an evaluation will be made after the war."

Sang Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Ji Chang grabbed the hem of his clothes and shook him.

If emphasizing reputation is a stupid behavior, Liu Yan, as the ruler, decided to be so stupid, even if he looks pedantic, he will not easily squander his reputation.

Talking about reputation is evaluated as pedantic, how ridiculous is this...it can even be said to be a sad thing?For example, someone who helps an elderly person who falls down can be broadcast on the news broadcast, and it has become a case that needs publicity.What kind of society should that be?
Not many people will understand Liu Yan's behavior at present, but when the Han Dynasty established the country and waited for something to happen in the series of conquests and expansions of the Han Kingdom in the future, they would praise their king's persistence, and future generations would also sincerely appreciate Liu Yan's decision keynote.

With various complicated emotions, everyone except Liu Yan withdrew.At that moment, Liu Yan looked at the backs of those people and smiled wryly. Only after experiencing it can he know what is terrible. There is nothing wrong with material flow and money supremacy, but the basic trust between people cannot be lost.

The complex mentality of those who wanted to rebel and rebel who received a reply from the Han army was beyond words.

"Liu...Liu..." Hu Yansheng wanted to call Liu Yan by his name directly, but he might soon be working under Liu Yan's command, so how could he directly name him?He spit out two syllables in a row, and finally said vaguely: "The one who didn't make an official and made a wish didn't care about our rebellion, or...?"

Yin Bi hesitated and said, "This may be a good thing. If it's a big deal, we should be worried."

Hu Yansheng now represents the Huns and some Huns in the army. He is the first commander in the Qiang army to fight against the cavalry of the Han army. After a series of battles, he was really scared by the Han army.

Yao Yizhong looked normal, but Yao Yizhong's normality seemed extremely abnormal in this situation. After learning that Yao Yizhong ordered people to collect war horses, Hu Yansheng was completely not calm.It can be explained that Yao Yizhong wants to counterattack, but what does it mean to gather the horses in the core camp instead of outside?Hu Yansheng judged that Yao Yizhong wanted to break out of the siege, and it was Yao Yizhong who wanted to break out of the siege without telling the non-directed lineage.

As far as Yin Bi is concerned, it is true that he was promoted by Yao Yizhong on the battlefield, but it is not the case when it comes to confirming the vassal relationship.He learned that Yao Yizhong was going to break out of the encirclement and did not notify him. This showed the nature of the Jin people in the Central Plains after the chaos in the world, which was to find a next family.

Yin Bi used the convenience of his position to contact the Jin people in the army first, but when he wanted to contact Zahu, he found that someone had already made the move first. After he found out that it was Hu Yansheng, he quickly hooked up with Hu Yansheng.

It was not only Yin Bi and Hu Yansheng who found that the situation was not good, it was just that their positions were relatively high.This group continued to grow as Yao Yizhong's confidants began to brutally collect war horses, and some conflicts also intensified, causing the Han army outside the camp to attack, but the atmosphere inside the camp became more and more strange.

I don't know whether it was the people from the Qiang tribe or the people from Hu Yansheng and Yin Bi's side who started the fight first. It was the first time that people from a team had a fight, and the conflict spread like a spark, and finally the conflict became public. Leading to mass killings in the camp.

Liu Yan, who received the news of the internal turmoil in the Qiang camp, was not at all surprised by what he expected. What he paid attention to was: "Are the troops arranged for interception ready?"

Since traitors appeared in the Qiang army, the Han army was not unaware that Yao Yizhong was collecting war horses, so it can be determined that Yao Yizhong was relying on cavalry to forcibly break through.

It is not easy to stop a cavalry that does not aim at fighting, especially since the surrounding terrain is flat, and the cavalry can only rely on a line of defense organized by people if they want to escape.

"The cavalry ready to pursue is ready, but..." Ji Chang said with a wry smile: "Our troops are too small, and we can only organize two blocking lines. If there are more, the defense line will be diluted, and the enemy may even be annihilated."

"We only need to leave more enemy troops to complete our goal." Sang Yu felt sincerely happy that the battle was coming to an end, and said relaxedly: "They must pass through Zhu'a County if they want to break out of the encirclement, isn't there already an intercepting force arranged there? "

Sang Yu was talking about Huan Wen's subordinates.

The force in Huan Wen's hands has swelled to [-], with [-] combat soldiers, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers, servants, and newly attached troops.The place where they are located is not a flat river, and some places are convenient to set up a blocking line.As long as they can stop Yao Yizhong's breakout force until Liu Yan or whoever leads the army arrives, they will form a double attack from Yao Yizhong's troops.

The two-sided attack in the field is not the way that occurs in the camp battle. If it can really form a flank attack, it is not sure whether Yao Yizhong will be killed, but it is still possible to wipe out most of the Qiang troops. sure.

What should be arranged has already been arranged, and the next step is nothing more than to see whether the soldiers will use their lives.This is true for Liu Yan, and even more so for Yao Yizhong.

Mutual killings occurred in the Qiang camp, and some traitors gave way to the Han army or acted as leading parties. As a result, Yao Yizhong, who was not fully prepared, could only break through decisively.

There was a roar when the horses stamped on the ground. Too many horseshoes trampled the ground and the sound became coherent. The sound of horseshoes completely covered up the rest of the sound. I don’t know how many cavalry were ordered to charge no matter what happened. There was something blocking the way along the way. Just hit, don't need to stop until you get a new order, even if there is a mountain of swords and flames in front of you, you will rush in.

There is no mountain of knives, but there is more than one sea of ​​fire...

"are you done?"

"No."

"Hurry up!"

"What's the hurry, wait for them to rush in."

The conversation was endless, but if one could smell the smell, one would ask about the strong smell of kerosene. The soldiers holding the torches were shaking all over. They were both scared and excited. As long as they ignited the fire, it would cause fires for miles around. fire.

The soldiers hiding in the grass depended on their luck. If they were unlucky, the enemy's breakout troops rushed in their direction, no matter whether they jumped up and ran or not, they could not escape the fate of being trampled into flesh by horseshoes.

Too many war horses were stomping on the ground. If they lay down on the ground, they would definitely feel obvious vibrations. The soldiers who were hiding and preparing to set fire were shaking. To be honest, more than one soldier's crotch was wet.

Qiang cavalry galloping on horseback, they rushed forward in the face of strong wind and darkness.Anyone who has ever moved forward at a very fast speed should know one thing, that is, too much wind will greatly reduce people's sense of smell, so that most of the Qiang cavalry did not smell the smell of kerosene at all. The yelling of the Qiang cavalry who smelled of kerosene was covered by the thunderous hoofbeats.

First, there was a sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-" and then some specific actions or numbers of light spots. This is followed by ignition.

Have you ever seen how it burns when it is full of kerosene?It was a kind of spark ignited kerosene with a "bang" sound and smoke, and then the fire spread out "slidingly" like running, and gradually the whole ground was full of fire, and the black smoke soon disappeared. Pack whatever space it can.

Liu Yan was watching, and beside him stood all the scribes in the army.

For the scribes, the war situation has developed to the current stage and they have nothing to do, and they need to wait for the end of the war before they are busy again.

Correspondingly, there are no generals and schools around Liu Yan except for the warrior guards. The warriors will now go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds whenever they have the opportunity

"Can this stop Yao Yizhong?" Sang Yu looked at the flames and black smoke rising into the sky in the distance, and asked, "How long will it burn?"

Liu Yan said: "The fire oil will be exhausted in the first wave of burning, depending on the density of the grass and bushes. It will not be difficult to destroy the first batch of cavalry, but it is impossible to burn for a long time."

Those are the common sense of Gewu, modern people can't understand it without contact with relevant education, and Gewu is completely unfamiliar to the ancients.

No one will survive the fire, not only the lethality brought by the fire, but the thick smoke will kill the most people.

In fact, when a fire broke out, the number of people who died directly from the fire was not the most. They were inhaled too much smoke and fell into a coma. If they did not leave the fire scene in time, they would be suffocated and burned into coke. Even if they escaped in time, they would have to go through professional rescue To be able to survive.

The burning area was very wide. It is estimated that more than [-] Qiang breakout troops were wiped out at one time, and the rest of the Qiang troops behind were also blocked.

At some point in the Qiang camp, there were shouts everywhere, "Kill one to keep yourself, kill two to redeem relatives, kill more and get rewards".The meaning of that paragraph is very clear, it is shouting at the non-Han soldiers who turned against each other. If the enemy soldiers who turn against each other kill one, they can live, and if they kill the second or more, they can save each one they want to save. People, if you kill more than you want, you can get rewards in exchange for anyone.

The Han army has few troops, but Yao Yizhong is already breaking through, so it is impossible for Liu Yan to invest more troops in the attack on the camp, intimidate and lure those enemy soldiers who turned back to kill more of their own people, there is nothing more important than this Appropriate way too.

Facing the sudden burst of flames from the direction of the breakout, Yao Yizhong was a little stunned at this moment. He was forced to invest his troops in the direction of blocking the rebels and the Han army, and he was also trying to find a new direction to break out of the encirclement.

A spark can naturally start a prairie fire, but how long it can burn depends on many factors. Yao Yizhong is deeply impressed by the surrounding environment. It is impossible for a big fire to burn for too long. They just need to support it until the fire weakens and the smoke is not so thick. Breakout again.

"If...if..." Yao Xiang's face turned pale, "What if there is another similar ambush?"

Yao Yizhong grinned, showing his yellowed teeth, and said ferociously, "There must be similar traps, but we still have to rush!"
