Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Bingzhou is mountainous, it can be said that there are mountains on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is Shangdang Highland in the south, the geographical location is extremely important, but as long as you occupy Bingzhou, you can overlook the Central Plains.

The whole of Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou will be threatened.

Although Li Jue and Guo Si fought fiercely in Luoyang, they also had to guard against their sneak attacks. When Liu Zhang continued to advance, he still kept more than 1 people in Hedong County to prevent plagiarism.

Invading Bingzhou from Hedong County is actually not difficult, and since Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, was killed, there has been no new governor in Bingzhou. There are nine counties in Bingzhou, the northern counties are barren and populated, and the southern counties are prefects. It is also relatively easy to break.

There are Tongtian Mountain, Huo Dashan and Wangwu Mountain in the southwest of Bingzhou, but no matter how dangerous the terrain is, there must be someone to guard it.

Liu Zhang led an army of [-] troops, marched northward from Anyi, along the Fenshui River, arrived at Yong'an County, and then invaded Bingzhou Taiyuan County from Yong'an County. In just a few days, he occupied Jiexiu County, the southernmost part of Taiyuan County.

Then Liu Zhang's troops divided into two groups, all the way to defend the southern part of Jiexiu, stationed troops to watch Shangdang, and all the way continued to attack Taiyuan County in the north.

Most of Taiyuan County belongs to the Taiyuan Plain, and the terrain is much better than Shangdang County. Hundreds of years ago, Qin also captured Zhao's Taiyuan first, and then attacked Shangdang.

He, Liu Zhang, also intends to do the same.

Bingzhou Government Office was originally Jinyang County, Taiyuan County.

The entire registered population of Bingzhou is 66.4, while Taiyuan County has 20, accounting for one-third of the registered population of Bingzhou.

It can be seen that the importance of Taiyuan County to Bingzhou.

Liu Zhang defended Jiexiu with 3 people, and then attacked Taiyuan with 5 people. In just fifteen days, he captured the counties of Taiyuan.

When the army besieged Jinyang City for five days, the city could not be broken, and the Taiyuan prefect was unwilling to surrender. However, the aristocratic families in the city had seen that Liu Zhang's soldiers were hard to resist, so they opened the city gate at night to welcome the army into the city.

The strong city of Jinyang was conquered in this way.

After conquering Luoyang, Liu Zhang immediately led his army to the south, and Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang resisted January, but was defeated and killed.

Later, Liu Zhang prepared to deal with the remaining counties of Bingzhou, but suddenly it snowed heavily and made it difficult to march, so he had to give up.

Liu Zhang left 2 guards in Taiyuan and Shangdang each, and returned to Guanzhong with 4.

Such heavy snow and cold weather are not suitable for fighting.

Putting too many soldiers in Bingzhou will consume a lot of military rations.

This battle lasted from October to January, occupying three and a half counties, and the results were pretty good.

Just when Liu Zhang led 4 people back to Hedong County from Jiexiu, someone suddenly reported that his food and grass had been robbed.

In Yong'an City, Liu Zhang put the battle report on the table heavily.

"You are so brave, you dare to rob my food and grass, you really don't know how to live or die!"

"My lord, I don't know who is so bold as to come and rob our army's food and grass!" Fazheng asked.

Food and grass can be related to the lifeline of the army, so they have to pay attention to it.

"It's the Baibo army!"

The Baibo army was a peasant uprising army at the end of the Han Dynasty. They took advantage of the Yellow Turban uprising to show off, and then fell silent after the Yellow Turban uprising failed.

However, in February 188, there was another uprising in Baibo Valley, Xihe County. The leader was Guo Tai, and the core generals were Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai. At its peak, there were 2 troops.

He also united with the Southern Huns to break through the two counties of Taiyuan and Hanoi, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil.

But later, Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo Army, died in battle, and the Baibo Army gradually declined. Its four generals Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai had differences.

Yang Feng advocated taking refuge with Dong Zhuo, but Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai advocated continuing to oppose the imperial court.

Without Mrs. Guo, the Baibo army became worse and worse. Soon after Yang Feng surrendered to Dong Zhuo, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai also surrendered to the court.

But not long after, Dong Zhuo died, and the Xiliang army group also disbanded, because Yang Feng and others were not the core of Xiliang, they had a very difficult time in Luoyang, and later crossed the Yellow River and returned to the Baibo army.

Liu Zhang knew about these things, but he was busy picking up Yizhou later, so he stopped paying attention to the Baibo army. He didn't expect them to appear again at this time.

The looted military rations were transported by water.

The grain transport ship entered Fenshui from the Yellow River, then went north, and was robbed in the river section near Linfen. Liu Zhang ordered the army to send scouts to spread around from Linfen to find the position of Baobaibo army.

Since time travel, after six years, no one has ever bullied me like this.

Within a day, the scouts discovered the traces of the Baibo army. They robbed Liu Zhang's grain transportation team in Linfen, and then transported the grain and grass to the north.

The scouts followed the trail and found that they were heading towards Tongtian Mountain. It was obvious that they were going to Xihe County.

Although it also snowed in Hedong County, it was not as big as Taiyuan County. Liu Zhang still ordered the army to cross the Fenshui River and head west, and ordered the troops to transport food and grass again.

Because the food and grass were robbed, the food and grass brought by his 4 people were only enough for ten days.

Liu Zhang first sent Zhang Ren and Yan Xing to lead the cavalry to attack, and rushed to block Tongtian Mountain in front of the Baibo army. Then he divided the infantry into three and surrounded them from three rooms.

It took only two days to encircle the Baibo army within a range of more than 100 miles.

The Baibo army also discovered that the pass of Tongtian Mountain in front of them was blocked, and they engaged in a tentative battle, regardless of the outcome.

The leader of the Baibo army thought that the opponent had only [-] cavalry, and since they continued to attack but did not make any progress, they could not break through the defense of the opponent's cavalry.

Soon, they found that there were also large groups of troops on the other three sides. At this time, Yang Fengcai, the leader of the Baibo Army, realized something was wrong.

It turns out that the situation of the Baibo army is not very good, and it has long since lost the [-] people at its peak.

The entire Baibo army has only 4 people, and the food and grass are getting less and less. Xihe County has a small population and cannot afford to support them.

This time, in order to intercept Liu Zhang's food and grass, they dispatched 2 people.

Liu Zhang didn't leave much time for Yang Feng. His three infantrymen narrowed the encirclement smaller and smaller, and finally surrounded them at the foot of Tongtian Mountain.

The two counties confronted each other and fought several times. Both sides suffered casualties. However, Liu Zhang's army was strong and strong, and Baibo's army was far from being an opponent. If it wasn't for Yang Feng's strong general, they would have collapsed long ago.

It's just that a fierce general can't hold back for long, but in three days, only 3000 of Yang Feng's [-] troops remained.

No matter how Yang Feng responds, Liu Zhang's encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.
