Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 797 Battle of Jinyang City

With the end of the war in Taishan County, Xuzhou, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici naturally sent letters of victory to Luoyang and Xiangyang immediately, waiting for Zhu Wei to give them the next military arrangement.

However, Zhu Wei had already known the war situation on Xuzhou's side through the Three Kingdoms game system, but at the same time they sent the letter of victory, he sent them a new military order.

Of course, it will take some time to send the military order from Zhu Wei to Huang Zhong and Tai Shici in Taishan County, Xuzhou, maybe ten and a half months later.

Xuzhou and Luoyang are still separated by the lands of Yingchuan and Yanzhou controlled by Cao Cao. For the safety of military orders, it is naturally impossible for the messengers to arrive directly through the official road, so it is still necessary to detour to send the general order information of.

In this way, Zhu Wei just agreed with Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to send troops to Yanzhou and Yingchuan counties where Cao Cao is located at the same time as Pang Yan and Zhuge Liang in the middle and late September, almost in the early autumn.

It can be said that Zhu Weijun's strategy of attacking Cao Cao has been fully prepared, and the next step is to wait for the time to send troops.

Of course, the war in Jinyang City in Bingzhou also took a new turn at this time. Jiang Wan personally went to Heishan to see Zhang Yan and succeeded in convincing Zhang Yan to bring troops to help. So Zhang Yan sent [-] troops from Heishan to Jinyang City. Joined the Zhu Wei army led by Zhang Liao and Wei Yan.

At this time, Zhu Wei's military order was also passed on. He basically agreed with Jiang Wan's suggestion before, and then let Wei Yan, Jiang Wan, and Zhang Yan continue to stay in Jinyang City to attack high-level officials. As for Zhang Liao's Huyi Battalion light cavalry, they were transferred back Shangdang County, waiting for Zhang Xiu to bring the heavy cavalry of the Huyi Battalion and the [-] cavalry of the Southern Huns to join.

As for Ma Teng's Fubo Battalion, they were also transferred here. Now that things have developed, Ma Teng can't help but continue to return to Chang'an to station. Let Ma Teng also join in the final battle against Yuan Shao's army, so that Zhu Wei can strengthen his defense against Ma. The control of Tengfubo Battalion can also increase the strength of Zhu Weijun.

It can be said that now Zhu Wei has begun to mobilize his available military forces, preparing to gather a large army to launch a major counterattack against Yuan Shao.

It's just that the battle on Jinyang City has just begun. Even with the support of the Black Mountain Army brought by Zhang Yan, it is difficult for Wei Yan to break through Jinyang City in a short time. Arrived in great difficulty.

As I said before, the foot of Jinyang City used a lot of stones as its foundation. As Jinyang City continued from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the stones at the foot of the city almost condensed into one big rock, so Wei Yan Naturally, the progress of people digging the foot of the city is very slow.

It is also no wonder that in the original history, Jinyang City was besieged many times. Even if the city was besieged by digging water, it was difficult for the city wall to collapse. The foundation of the city wall was really well laid.

In this way, after the arrival of Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, Wei Yan could only use the normal ant-attached siege tactics, with the help of various siege equipment, and use the lives of his soldiers to climb the city wall.

But just as Wei Yan was worried about before, although Zhang Yan brought troops to support Zhu Weijun in attacking Jinyang City, they were not prepared to be cannon fodder after all, so how to arrange troops to attack Jinyang City still needs to be discussed by Wei Yan and Zhang Yan.

Fortunately, because of the victories in the previous battles, Zhu Weijun can directly use the captured weapons and equipment trophies to provide replacements for the Black Mountain Army brought by Zhang Yan. It can be said that many weapons and equipment are from Han Suijun and Gao Gan. It was captured from ten thousand defeated soldiers.

Therefore, with such equipment support, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain soldiers have increased their combat effectiveness. Zhang Yan felt Zhu Wei's sincerity, so he was willing to help attack Jinyang City with all his strength, instead of actually coming. False to deal with.

After discussing this, Wei Yan and Zhang Yan agreed to send troops to attack an area of ​​the city wall of Jinyang City. They didn't say who would be the cannon fodder, but they agreed that whoever could attack Jinyang City first would be the one who attacked Jinyang City this time. for the first time.

In this way, the siege battle on Jinyang City started fiercely.

It's just that Wei Yan secretly kept a careful thought that he didn't care about the credit for breaking Jinyang City. Anyway, Zhu Wei sent him to participate in the battle of Guanzhong this time, and he already got a lot of credit.

In Wei Yan's opinion, the achievement of capturing Jinyang City can only be regarded as tasteless.

For the current Wei Yan, he hopes to end the war in Jinyang City as soon as possible, and then participate in the war in Luoyang. It is counted in the book as the founding contribution of assisting the lord to set the world.

As for the gains and losses of Jinyang City, it is just an ordinary achievement of increasing land, how can it be compared with the achievement of founding a country.

To be honest, Wei Yan was a little envious of Zhang Liao. This guy led the light cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion to get rid of Jinyang City and directly participated in the battle of Luoyang. This made Wei Yan even more unwilling to waste time and troops in Jinyang This side of the city.

After all, the war still needs to rely on the troops under his command. Since Wei Yan cannot directly escape from the Battle of Jinyang, he can only reduce the unnecessary loss of troops as much as possible so that the subsequent Battle of Luoyang will not be affected by the problem of troop strength. The fighting prowess of his army.

Therefore, Wei Yan took the initiative to restrain some strength in the battle against Jinyang City, and relatively preserved his strength, so that Zhang Yan appeared to be more forceful in the battle.

However, Zhang Yan did have his own little calculations. On the one hand, he really wanted to show his strength through this battle, so as to leave a good impression on Zhu Wei's side, and obtain higher treatment for him to join Zhu Wei in the Black Mountain Army in the future.

On the other hand, Zhu Wei had already promised Zhang Yan that after capturing Jinyang City, he could stay there temporarily, and also allowed Zhang Yan to move the population hidden in the mountains to Jinyang to settle down.

This is tantamount to allowing the people of Montenegro who had been hiding in the mountains to live hard, to have a fertile land to settle down and start a business, so this battle can also be regarded as a new home for the Montenegrin Army.

As mentioned above, the Black Mountain Army under Zhang Yan's current control has gradually come to an end.

After all, life in the mountains is miserable. Even if the population controlled by the Montenegro Army reclaims fields and grows food in the mountains, it cannot meet everyone's needs for food and other materials. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Montenegro Army to go out and plunder. They are completely It can be self-sufficient in the mountains and form a small country by itself.

But now, with the previous several battles against Yuan Shao, a large number of elite Black Mountain troops died in battle, and less and less young and strong Black Mountain soldiers were able to go out to rob, so more old and weak women and children who stayed in the mountains could only survive on their own.

However, the output in the mountains cannot meet the needs of life at all. If it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that many people in the mountains will starve to death. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the population of Montenegro decreased in the original history.

In this way, if Zhang Yan can get the land of Jinyang, then he can completely move the population of Heishan hidden in the mountains to live in Jinyang...
