The enemy soldiers retreated temporarily, so there was no need for Ji Xuanhe to stay on the city wall.There are walls blocking the wall stacks, but it is no different from ventilation on all sides.In this kind of cold weather, not only the enemy army suffers, but also our own side suffers.
Others can't help it, but Ji Xuanhe doesn't need to do this, he just needs to keep his duties.Now that he is not needed on the city wall for the time being, he can simply leave without being complained by the people below.To put it bluntly, Ji Xuanhe is very adaptable. He can endure hardships and stand hard work when he has no choice. Once there is a more comfortable way, he is more inclined to enjoy it in hardship.
Normally, a large amount of charcoal should be prepared in winter, but this time, after Ji Xuanhe sent people from the guard to collect the tax and food, he had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he made sufficient preparations.Most of them are used from the silver reserves in the county government's public account, and these will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.Once it is used, it means that the county has been besieged for a long time.
The enemy retreated without a single soldier, but Ji Xuanhe was not very happy.Fleeing after being defeated and withdrawing on their own are completely two concepts, and their natures are also different.If they are defeated, it means that the war has come to an end. If there is no accident, they will be safe.Withdrew, Ji Xuanhe had to worry that they would return at any time, and the city gate could not be opened.
Civilian officials and generals have clear barriers, as long as it is not a border gate, the soldiers of the guards are not allowed to enter the city easily, otherwise Commander Chen would have pulled all his soldiers into Xilin County. It is more than enough to defend the city.
This was also because the situation was not that serious. Otherwise, for the sake of his own life, Commander Chen would go all out.
Xilin County is not located in the middle of Xilin County, but rather to the north. The direction of the enemy's withdrawal seems to be also north. I don't know where their target is.Ji Xuanhe knew that what he saw might not be the truth, maybe the direction the enemy retreated was just to confuse them.False and real, without more information, he can't analyze it.
"My lord, my subordinates will escort you first. The convoy's goal is too big. Only if you are safe, can the others have any hope of survival. The princess and the others will follow the team, and they will be able to follow up later."
King An took a last look at his family, hugged his second son, got on his horse and galloped towards the fief with only a few dozen guards behind him.Brother Sanhuang is on the throne, and the other brothers are not worried. At least up to now, none of the brothers have been killed in the capital. All of them are like loaches. quick.
King An smiled, the other brothers are like this, isn't he just like them?It's just the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps. How can he have the right to laugh at them?
At the beginning, the princes received the news that their father asked them to go to Beijing, which included asking them to bring all their high-ranking family members and children.At that time, they didn't dare to rebel against their father openly, so they had to bring all their children with them.Now the trouble is coming, everyone knows the reason why you can't put everything in one basket, King An wanted to travel lightly, and he didn't have many people to take with him, so he took away his only son-in-law.
The second son is only five years old, he is still young, and he has not yet invited him to be the crown prince. I don't know if he still has this opportunity.Wang An looked at his son with some sympathy. He was abducted when he was a child, and now he is going to live a life of escape at such a young age. Before he can enjoy the blessing, he will suffer first.
The north wind is bitter, and it hurts people's faces when it blows on people's faces. If you rush on the road without wrapping your whole body well, it is common to catch cold and catch cold.The second son was still young, and Wang An let him sit in front of him, wrapping him imperviously with his big fur cloak.Even so, it couldn't stop the severe cold.
I don't know if it was because he had suffered a lot when he was a child, but at this time, the second son didn't even complain, and he was much more sensible than the other sons.
King An, like his adult entrusted brothers, left early. The news of the third brother's ascension to the throne should not have come, but he can't take it lightly, and try to leave before the news of the new emperor's enthronement arrives. The jurisdiction of the third brother.
Brother Sanhuang had just arrived in the capital, and his power was not stable. There were so many brothers who needed his distraction. If he wanted to take care of them all, he probably couldn't do anything.It would take a lot of time to gather the forces in the capital. As long as their failed brothers run far enough, the Three Emperors will be beyond their reach, and it will be even more difficult to deal with them.
King An still doesn't know the situation of his fiefdom, otherwise he would not be in such a good mood.
It was only a few days before Xilin County was raided and King Jing launched an incident to occupy the palace. Unfortunately, none of his brothers are muddy. Multiple advantages.
As Wang An said, it will take some time for Prince Jing to free up his hands to deal with his grown-up brothers, but no one knows whether he has the ability.
A country cannot be without a king for a day, not only Brother Sanhuang had this idea, but several others, including Wang An himself, had the same plan, but Brother Sanhuang saw the gap and acted first, and he succeeded Well, now that the father is unconscious, isn't it just what the third brother said?
He doesn't complain about success and defeat.King An was a little gloating, Brother Sanhuang's position was not secure, so many brothers, he didn't get rid of any of them, and he will suffer in the future.
Speeding up the horse and traveling day and night, King An returned to his fief in only half a month.The news he got was even more frustrating than his failure in the capital.The front yard is weak, and the back yard has also suffered. I don't know if the other brothers are as unlucky as him?An Wang desperately wanted his brother to enjoy this taste too.
King An thought that even if his fiefdom wasn't impregnable, at least it wasn't the kind of tofu that would shatter when touched.Who would have thought that a few years ago, he found out that his fiefdom had become a good place for others to inquire about news, and a secret road was dug to connect the inside and outside of the county. If Ji Xuanhe hadn't accidentally broken the trap they set up, who would have known that he would now What will the fiefdom look like?
After the secret passage, now someone bypasses the border and goes straight to the hinterland. How can there be so many loopholes in his fief for people to exploit?King An was puzzled.Gansu's materials are very scarce compared to the rich and prosperous places in the south, so there is no need to start with him if you want to make an idea.
King An is not an arrogant person, nor is his confidence in his fiefdom blindly optimistic. Gansu doesn't talk about government affairs, at least its military strength is not weaker than any of his brothers.The things he encountered were only because they appeared for the first time, or were discovered for the first time, which caught him off guard. After he was prepared, he would not be so easy to be calculated by others.
How can he be incapable of safely leaving the capital with his family to escape from Brother Sanhuang's clutches?
King An's mansion is not in Linzhou, the most prosperous place in Gansu, but in Cangzhou, which is close to the border.
Speaking of Cangzhou, in fact, it is only one county away from Xilin County, and the straight-line distance is very close.It's just that Gansu is mountainous, and the journey will be long if you go around in a circle.Ji Xuanhe stayed in Xilin County for three years, and he had never even been out of Xilin County. He only knew that King An's mansion was built there.
King An and his party were so absorbed in their journey that they didn't bother to inquire about the news. Only after entering their own fiefdom did they know that many places on the northern border of the Jin Dynasty were on fire, but there were not many people as unlucky as him.His own fiefdom is more dangerous than the outside world. There are only a few dozen people in Wang An's party, and his residence is in Cangzhou. It is too risky to rely on such a small number of people. Wang An directly dispatched soldiers to escort him from the rear.
The fighting in Gansu is mainly concentrated in the northern border area. Although Xilin County is close to the border, if the enemy soldiers hadn't discovered the mountain pass, it would not have been invaded so easily.
Seeing that they could not get any oil and water in Xilin County, the enemy army moved to other places.With their strength, it is easy to flatten the village.Ji Xuanhe didn't know where they were headed, but he knew that this tribe would not be the only one that invaded Xilin County. If they flanked with other enemy soldiers, not to mention the town, even the county town could be captured.Ji Xuanhe can't take care of that much, he just needs to take care of Xilin County.
King An mobilized many guards in the hinterland of Gansu. He will not move the troops in the border area. Now it is not like before, the surrounding areas may invade at any time, and the pass must be defended by soldiers.
Since the first wave of enemy soldiers withdrew, Ji Xuanhe found that every few days, a group of enemy soldiers crossed the mountains and came out of Minshan Mountain, and then swept the surrounding villages of Xilin County.The first batch has the largest number of people, and the number of people in the later group decreases.
The third group had fewer people than Qingyun Guard. After they arrived, Commander Chen directly took them under the knife.
Commander Chen is more cautious, but he is also a vigorous general. How can he tolerate the enemy's coming and going freely within his jurisdiction?The first two batches had a large number of people, even if he tried his best, the result would be only a loss of one thousand and eight hundred for the enemy. Commander Chen naturally had to consider whether to do such a loss-making business. Who would want to wait for him to hesitate and miss it? The best time to attack.Now he is very angry, no one will be happy to see the enemy army in the territory of his own country, let alone a general?
The enemy troops were not stupid and ignorant, although they all came out of Minshan, the exits were not the same every time.Commander Chen sent a lot of scouts to Minshan Mountain to investigate, and they did some calculations but accidentally, the third batch of enemy soldiers was finally caught by Commander Chen.
The third batch of enemy soldiers was the same as the previous two, most of them were light cavalry, only a small part were infantry.The cavalry is dominant on the plains, but its strength is greatly reduced in the mountains.
There are not too many soldiers and cavalry in the guards. It's not that the Jin Dynasty is weak in force, but the Jin Dynasty is an agricultural society. Even if there are large plains, a large amount of farmland is reclaimed for planting, and the number of horses produced is not as good as that of the grassland tribes.
In addition to being behind the enemy soldiers behind the horses, the Jin Dynasty's weapons and equipment are obviously superior to them, and the average personal force is only slightly inferior to the grassland tribes.Don't underestimate these, the population of the Jin Dynasty is much larger than that of the grassland tribes, and the number of soldiers alone can kill them.
This time a large number of grassland tribes invaded the Jin Dynasty, because they saw that when the internal power of the Jin Dynasty was changing, the frontier defense was not as twisted as before.In today's Jin Dynasty, except for the middle forces who are loyal to the emperor and have not yet taken refuge in the prince, the other border areas are all independent. Once the border towns are destroyed, the princes and generals can only find their own way.
The news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is not urgent within eight hundred miles, and it has not yet spread to remote areas.Xilin County has become a war zone, and the movement of personnel during the war is strictly checked. Even if the news reaches here now, as long as King An doesn't want the news to spread in Gansu, Ji Xuanhe has no way to know.
Although the soldiers of the Qingyun Guard had never experienced war, they behaved well. This was thanks to Commander Chen's good supervision. Otherwise, if they brought in a remnant and defeated general, they would not have to fight this battle, and they would save some face by surrendering directly.
The two armies confronted each other, fighting hand to hand, and what they fought was courage and force.The third batch of enemy soldiers, like the guard soldiers, were on the battlefield for the first time. From the experience of fighting the enemy, both sides were equally divided.But the soldiers of the guard station took advantage of the location, as the saying goes, strike first is the best. When the enemy soldiers just walked to the exit of Minshan Mountain, they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and then swords, guns, swords and halberds took turns to go into battle.
The enemy soldiers were stunned for a while, and the formation of the troops ahead was in chaos.The enemy generals were not vegetarians, so they quickly organized the remaining soldiers and began to resist.
Once the hands are stained with blood, after the initial discomfort, no matter whether it is a recruit or a veteran, no matter whether it is the enemy or their own side, their eyeballs will become bloodshot, and the blood will rise to the top, and the battlefield will be full of killing intent for a while.
When a person has not seen blood, they may shrink back and dare not make a move. Once the gate is opened, under the stimulus of the blood all around, they will become red-eyed, and they will not be able to stop even if they want to.
In just a few breaths, the battlefield was filled with blood, and stumped limbs and arms could be seen everywhere.None of the soldiers on the two sides cared about these things. To them, survival was the most important thing. If they died, they would lose everything.
The drums and horns sounded one after another, the sound of weapons colliding, and the wailing continued. Those who have not experienced war cannot imagine the cruelty of war.
History is written by the victors. Once a dispute escalates to the level of war, it is no longer a matter of right or wrong. It is a contest of force between the two countries. It is meaningless to say which is right and which is wrong. Withdrawing in a hurry, paying tribute or ceding land for compensation is possible. If it is serious, wait for the country to be destroyed.
To be soft-hearted to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. When the two sides are facing each other, if one can't bear it, what greets you is the opponent's cold weapon.Seeing that their companions hesitated and were killed, the others learned their lesson, raised their long knives and stabbed them into the enemy's chest with wide eyes. The inexperienced soldiers were splashed all over their faces. They resisted the fear in their hearts, they didn't dare to blink their eyes, and they didn't dare to wipe the blood on their faces, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be stabbed right through by the enemy soldiers.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the enemy retreated decisively.
"Archers, follow orders and release arrows."
When a defeated army flees, the soldiers left behind are always the first to be harvested.After losing a lot of troops, the enemy finally fled into the forest.Qingyun Guard also suffered a lot of losses, and the remaining people were not enough to pursue in the mountains and forests. Commander Chen made a decisive decision and ordered the scouts to be alert, and other soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
Although Minshan was very close to Xilin County, it was not enough for the people in the city to hear what was going on here. Until the end of the war, Ji Xuanhe still knew nothing about it.The reason why he knew that a group of enemy soldiers would come to Minshan every few days was because after these soldiers left Minshan, they would walk around Xilin County, and the flags they raised were different every time.
"These aliens are really poor. They only brought food and grass for a few days. Don't they think we can let them grab it?" Commander Chen was very contemptuous, "Fortunately, there are still horses, armor and weapons to use. , otherwise this battle will have to go to grandma's house."
"My lord, nearly [-] soldiers died this time, more than [-] were injured, and nearly [-] of them were seriously injured." Liu Ping took the statistical booklet, and the lines on it were shocking, "My lord, after this battle, within a short period of time, Wei There will be no power left to fight.”
"Has there been any news from the nearby guards?" Although Commander Chen acted cautiously, once he made a decision, he would resolutely implement it. What is regret?If you have time to regret it, it is better to practice the formation of troops a few more times.
"Not yet, we are still on standby."
"These bastards are like a cat that smells fish when they have a good time. They run faster than anyone else. Now I have to trouble them. I don't even think about the excuse that I didn't receive the transfer order. , if we can't stop them, Xilin County is destroyed, can they run away?"
"Report, the city of Yongning County is broken, please Commander Chen to be ready to support at any time." The messenger returned quickly after reporting his intention.
Commander Chen looked at the battle report and the accompanying instructions in his hand, his face was as dark as ink, and he said with hatred: "It's only been a while since the city was broken, what did the Yongning County officials do? Could it be that the city wall is made of paper? At the Yiwei Station, they just watched the enemy soldiers attack the city? Is it so easy to attack the city? Didn’t they see that the first batch of enemy soldiers stayed near Xilin County for one night without doing anything? It’s only after going down to Xilin County that it’s the next best thing? Yongning County won’t be the second best, right?”
"My lord, the order said that our guards should be ready, which means that the higher-ups also know that Xilin County is not safe. According to the estimates of the subordinates, our guards will not be easily mobilized without major incidents."
"This place has been exposed. If the enemy sends troops from this side, they will inevitably change the exit. It will not be so easy to catch it. I don't know if the scouts looking for the entrance have cleared up the information. Only by cutting off the source can they be completely blocked. The enemy's troops are transported." Commander Chen is open-minded, he has done what he should do, and the rest can only be resigned to fate, hoping that the scouts sent will not be handed over, "Report the battle damage and apply for wartime conscription. "
"Yes, my lord." The orderly got on his horse with the battle report and headed towards the General Military Mansion.
It has been nearly ten days since Ji Xuanhe discovered the enemy invasion. Xilin County has been safe and sound. Although the people are puzzled, they will not run out of the city recklessly.
Ji Xuanhe thought it would be nice if he could stay like this forever, but he didn't want to go through war at all.No one wants to see the cruelty of war. Even an invincible general who wins all battles has such a feat, which is made of bones. No way.
"Report, my lord, this is the battle report sent by Commander Chen, please take a look at it."
Ji Xuanhe hurriedly put down his work, opened the battle report, and couldn't help but gasped. Commander Chen had actually fought against the third batch of enemy soldiers and won the battle. This news deserves joy and encouragement.Before Ji Xuanhe's smile reached his eyes, the news below caught him off guard again, what, the city of Yongning County is broken?
Yongning County is in the northwest of Xilin County, only separated by Wanxian County, and only one county away from Cangzhou.This is not good, Yongning County is fine, if the enemy uses Yongning County as a springboard to take Cangzhou Mansion, it will be terrible, it is the territory of King An, and if King An is defeated, these surrounding counties Definitely can't run away.
At this time, Ji Xuanhe's mind was buzzing, and he also had an idea with Commander Chen, and the city was destroyed in just a few days. Isn't there something tricky in Yongnian County?
Ji Xuanhe is very angry now, he took a sword and made gestures on the training ground for a while before letting out the depression in his heart.
There are a lot of people on the training ground, as long as the officials of the entire county government are idle, they will train here. If there is more force, the life will be more guaranteed.Although most of the people here have never even seen the shadow of the enemy soldiers, they know that Xia Xiancheng of Ji Zhi County and the others will never make fun of this matter.Besides, they were not blind, except for the two days when the city gate was just closed, there were foreigners entering the city, but they didn't meet anyone after that.You don't need to think about it to know that guard posts have been set up on the main roads all over the place, and the people are forbidden to move around at will.
The military strength of the Jifu Nursing Academy is the strongest, and the military strength of other people should not be underestimated, especially those servants who have followed Ji Xuanhe from the beginning. They have practiced elementary body training for more than ten years, and they will exercise whenever they have free time. His own riding and archery is not weak even for women.
Now Xilin County is shrouded in the shadow of war, and everyone in the Ji Mansion spends at least half a day with weapons, but the consequence of this is that everyone's appetite has increased. Fortunately, Shao Yunchen prepared a large amount of food, and the extra food was in the The quarter's mansion is nothing, but it's a burden to put it in the homes of ordinary people.
"Xuanhe, Yongning County is very close to Cangzhou, and the commander-in-chief will definitely not ignore it. If Cangzhou falls, the commander-in-chief will at least have to be demoted." Cangzhou is really captured, it is estimated that it is too late for the new emperor to be happy.I don't know how strong King An's command is. If the general soldier refuses to accept his control, it will be a joke.
What Shao Yunchen took was the map of Xilin County and nearby counties and counties, but this map was extremely simple, and it was a rough map drawn by him, Ji Xuanhe and the other two based on the reports of his servants.With their current resources, being able to have such a map is far beyond that of other magistrates. If they want more details, Ji Xuanhe can only use the writer system.
"I thought about it, and this may not be a bad thing. The general army didn't pay enough attention to it before, but now that some county towns have been breached, he can't just ignore them and must dispatch troops to fight back." Ji Xuanhe would think so, and it was also because he suddenly Thinking back, the Jin Dynasty was very powerful, if it hadn't been for the Little Ice Age and the time when the princes were vying for the throne, the tribes in the grassland would not dare to cross the border easily.The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty had an air of arrogance, and looked down on the small countries around them, and it was precisely because they didn't pay much attention to it that they capsized in the gutter, and Yongning County was destroyed in just a few days.
"I'm afraid the enemy will not occupy the city for a long time. The most likely scenario is that the county will be plundered and the people will be taken away." Shao Yunchen feels sorry for the people of Yongning County. Few people will survive this catastrophe. Not much.Population is the foundation of development. A county with tens of thousands of people is not a small number. Yongning County does not know how many years and people's efforts it will take to restore its previous level.
Ji Xuanhe could imagine the miserable situation. If he didn't have the writing system as the last resort to save his life, he would have no choice but to hide himself in such a situation.The odds of victory for common people against superior soldiers are extremely slim, and individual heroism is even more unrealistic. It is possible to fight ten against one, and there are almost no people who can retreat safely with one hundred.
At least Ji Xuanhe couldn't do it. The world Jinchao is in is a low-level military plane, so don't even think about internal magic powers and the like.Otherwise, Ji Xuanhe would have collected enough system coins to buy the secret books of exercises.Also because of this reason, the practice and cheat books in the writer system are extremely expensive, so Ji Xuanhe gave up a long time ago.
Others can't help it, but Ji Xuanhe doesn't need to do this, he just needs to keep his duties.Now that he is not needed on the city wall for the time being, he can simply leave without being complained by the people below.To put it bluntly, Ji Xuanhe is very adaptable. He can endure hardships and stand hard work when he has no choice. Once there is a more comfortable way, he is more inclined to enjoy it in hardship.
Normally, a large amount of charcoal should be prepared in winter, but this time, after Ji Xuanhe sent people from the guard to collect the tax and food, he had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he made sufficient preparations.Most of them are used from the silver reserves in the county government's public account, and these will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.Once it is used, it means that the county has been besieged for a long time.
The enemy retreated without a single soldier, but Ji Xuanhe was not very happy.Fleeing after being defeated and withdrawing on their own are completely two concepts, and their natures are also different.If they are defeated, it means that the war has come to an end. If there is no accident, they will be safe.Withdrew, Ji Xuanhe had to worry that they would return at any time, and the city gate could not be opened.
Civilian officials and generals have clear barriers, as long as it is not a border gate, the soldiers of the guards are not allowed to enter the city easily, otherwise Commander Chen would have pulled all his soldiers into Xilin County. It is more than enough to defend the city.
This was also because the situation was not that serious. Otherwise, for the sake of his own life, Commander Chen would go all out.
Xilin County is not located in the middle of Xilin County, but rather to the north. The direction of the enemy's withdrawal seems to be also north. I don't know where their target is.Ji Xuanhe knew that what he saw might not be the truth, maybe the direction the enemy retreated was just to confuse them.False and real, without more information, he can't analyze it.
"My lord, my subordinates will escort you first. The convoy's goal is too big. Only if you are safe, can the others have any hope of survival. The princess and the others will follow the team, and they will be able to follow up later."
King An took a last look at his family, hugged his second son, got on his horse and galloped towards the fief with only a few dozen guards behind him.Brother Sanhuang is on the throne, and the other brothers are not worried. At least up to now, none of the brothers have been killed in the capital. All of them are like loaches. quick.
King An smiled, the other brothers are like this, isn't he just like them?It's just the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps. How can he have the right to laugh at them?
At the beginning, the princes received the news that their father asked them to go to Beijing, which included asking them to bring all their high-ranking family members and children.At that time, they didn't dare to rebel against their father openly, so they had to bring all their children with them.Now the trouble is coming, everyone knows the reason why you can't put everything in one basket, King An wanted to travel lightly, and he didn't have many people to take with him, so he took away his only son-in-law.
The second son is only five years old, he is still young, and he has not yet invited him to be the crown prince. I don't know if he still has this opportunity.Wang An looked at his son with some sympathy. He was abducted when he was a child, and now he is going to live a life of escape at such a young age. Before he can enjoy the blessing, he will suffer first.
The north wind is bitter, and it hurts people's faces when it blows on people's faces. If you rush on the road without wrapping your whole body well, it is common to catch cold and catch cold.The second son was still young, and Wang An let him sit in front of him, wrapping him imperviously with his big fur cloak.Even so, it couldn't stop the severe cold.
I don't know if it was because he had suffered a lot when he was a child, but at this time, the second son didn't even complain, and he was much more sensible than the other sons.

King An thought that even if his fiefdom wasn't impregnable, at least it wasn't the kind of tofu that would shatter when touched.Who would have thought that a few years ago, he found out that his fiefdom had become a good place for others to inquire about news, and a secret road was dug to connect the inside and outside of the county. If Ji Xuanhe hadn't accidentally broken the trap they set up, who would have known that he would now What will the fiefdom look like?
After the secret passage, now someone bypasses the border and goes straight to the hinterland. How can there be so many loopholes in his fief for people to exploit?King An was puzzled.Gansu's materials are very scarce compared to the rich and prosperous places in the south, so there is no need to start with him if you want to make an idea.

How can he be incapable of safely leaving the capital with his family to escape from Brother Sanhuang's clutches?
King An's mansion is not in Linzhou, the most prosperous place in Gansu, but in Cangzhou, which is close to the border.
Speaking of Cangzhou, in fact, it is only one county away from Xilin County, and the straight-line distance is very close.It's just that Gansu is mountainous, and the journey will be long if you go around in a circle.Ji Xuanhe stayed in Xilin County for three years, and he had never even been out of Xilin County. He only knew that King An's mansion was built there.
King An and his party were so absorbed in their journey that they didn't bother to inquire about the news. Only after entering their own fiefdom did they know that many places on the northern border of the Jin Dynasty were on fire, but there were not many people as unlucky as him.His own fiefdom is more dangerous than the outside world.

King An mobilized many guards in the hinterland of Gansu. He will not move the troops in the border area. Now it is not like before, the surrounding areas may invade at any time, and the pass must be defended by soldiers.
Since the first wave of enemy soldiers withdrew, Ji Xuanhe found that every few days, a group of enemy soldiers crossed the mountains and came out of Minshan Mountain, and then swept the surrounding villages of Xilin County.The first batch has the largest number of people, and the number of people in the later group decreases.
The third group had fewer people than Qingyun Guard. After they arrived, Commander Chen directly took them under the knife.
Commander Chen is more cautious, but he is also a vigorous general. How can he tolerate the enemy's coming and going freely within his jurisdiction?The first two batches had a large number of people, even if he tried his best, the result would be only a loss of one thousand and eight hundred for the enemy. Commander Chen naturally had to consider whether to do such a loss-making business. Who would want to wait for him to hesitate and miss it? The best time to attack.Now he is very angry, no one will be happy to see the enemy army in the territory of his own country, let alone a general?
The enemy troops were not stupid and ignorant, although they all came out of Minshan, the exits were not the same every time.Commander Chen sent a lot of scouts to Minshan Mountain to investigate, and they did some calculations but accidentally, the third batch of enemy soldiers was finally caught by Commander Chen.
The third batch of enemy soldiers was the same as the previous two, most of them were light cavalry, only a small part were infantry.The cavalry is dominant on the plains, but its strength is greatly reduced in the mountains.
There are not too many soldiers and cavalry in the guards. It's not that the Jin Dynasty is weak in force, but the Jin Dynasty is an agricultural society. Even if there are large plains, a large amount of farmland is reclaimed for planting, and the number of horses produced is not as good as that of the grassland tribes.
In addition to being behind the enemy soldiers behind the horses, the Jin Dynasty's weapons and equipment are obviously superior to them, and the average personal force is only slightly inferior to the grassland tribes.Don't underestimate these, the population of the Jin Dynasty is much larger than that of the grassland tribes, and the number of soldiers alone can kill them.
This time a large number of grassland tribes invaded the Jin Dynasty, because they saw that when the internal power of the Jin Dynasty was changing, the frontier defense was not as twisted as before.In today's Jin Dynasty, except for the middle forces who are loyal to the emperor and have not yet taken refuge in the prince, the other border areas are all independent. Once the border towns are destroyed, the princes and generals can only find their own way.
The news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is not urgent within eight hundred miles, and it has not yet spread to remote areas.Xilin County has become a war zone, and the movement of personnel during the war is strictly checked. Even if the news reaches here now, as long as King An doesn't want the news to spread in Gansu, Ji Xuanhe has no way to know.
Although the soldiers of the Qingyun Guard had never experienced war, they behaved well. This was thanks to Commander Chen's good supervision. Otherwise, if they brought in a remnant and defeated general, they would not have to fight this battle, and they would save some face by surrendering directly.
The two armies confronted each other, fighting hand to hand, and what they fought was courage and force.The third batch of enemy soldiers, like the guard soldiers, were on the battlefield for the first time. From the experience of fighting the enemy, both sides were equally divided.But the soldiers of the guard station took advantage of the location, as the saying goes, strike first is the best. When the enemy soldiers just walked to the exit of Minshan Mountain, they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and then swords, guns, swords and halberds took turns to go into battle.
The enemy soldiers were stunned for a while, and the formation of the troops ahead was in chaos.The enemy generals were not vegetarians, so they quickly organized the remaining soldiers and began to resist.
Once the hands are stained with blood, after the initial discomfort, no matter whether it is a recruit or a veteran, no matter whether it is the enemy or their own side, their eyeballs will become bloodshot, and the blood will rise to the top, and the battlefield will be full of killing intent for a while.
When a person has not seen blood, they may shrink back and dare not make a move. Once the gate is opened, under the stimulus of the blood all around, they will become red-eyed, and they will not be able to stop even if they want to.
In just a few breaths, the battlefield was filled with blood, and stumped limbs and arms could be seen everywhere.None of the soldiers on the two sides cared about these things. To them, survival was the most important thing. If they died, they would lose everything.
The drums and horns sounded one after another, the sound of weapons colliding, and the wailing continued. Those who have not experienced war cannot imagine the cruelty of war.
History is written by the victors. Once a dispute escalates to the level of war, it is no longer a matter of right or wrong. It is a contest of force between the two countries. It is meaningless to say which is right and which is wrong. Withdrawing in a hurry, paying tribute or ceding land for compensation is possible. If it is serious, wait for the country to be destroyed.
To be soft-hearted to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. When the two sides are facing each other, if one can't bear it, what greets you is the opponent's cold weapon.Seeing that their companions hesitated and were killed, the others learned their lesson, raised their long knives and stabbed them into the enemy's chest with wide eyes. The inexperienced soldiers were splashed all over their faces. They resisted the fear in their hearts, they didn't dare to blink their eyes, and they didn't dare to wipe the blood on their faces, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be stabbed right through by the enemy soldiers.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the enemy retreated decisively.
"Archers, follow orders and release arrows."
When a defeated army flees, the soldiers left behind are always the first to be harvested.After losing a lot of troops, the enemy finally fled into the forest.Qingyun Guard also suffered a lot of losses, and the remaining people were not enough to pursue in the mountains and forests. Commander Chen made a decisive decision and ordered the scouts to be alert, and other soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
Although Minshan was very close to Xilin County, it was not enough for the people in the city to hear what was going on here. Until the end of the war, Ji Xuanhe still knew nothing about it.The reason why he knew that a group of enemy soldiers would come to Minshan every few days was because after these soldiers left Minshan, they would walk around Xilin County, and the flags they raised were different every time.
"These aliens are really poor. They only brought food and grass for a few days. Don't they think we can let them grab it?" Commander Chen was very contemptuous, "Fortunately, there are still horses, armor and weapons to use. , otherwise this battle will have to go to grandma's house."
"My lord, nearly [-] soldiers died this time, more than [-] were injured, and nearly [-] of them were seriously injured." Liu Ping took the statistical booklet, and the lines on it were shocking, "My lord, after this battle, within a short period of time, Wei There will be no power left to fight.”
"Has there been any news from the nearby guards?" Although Commander Chen acted cautiously, once he made a decision, he would resolutely implement it. What is regret?If you have time to regret it, it is better to practice the formation of troops a few more times.
"Not yet, we are still on standby."
"These bastards are like a cat that smells fish when they have a good time. They run faster than anyone else. Now I have to trouble them. I don't even think about the excuse that I didn't receive the transfer order. , if we can't stop them, Xilin County is destroyed, can they run away?"
"Report, the city of Yongning County is broken, please Commander Chen to be ready to support at any time." The messenger returned quickly after reporting his intention.
Commander Chen looked at the battle report and the accompanying instructions in his hand, his face was as dark as ink, and he said with hatred: "It's only been a while since the city was broken, what did the Yongning County officials do? Could it be that the city wall is made of paper? At the Yiwei Station, they just watched the enemy soldiers attack the city? Is it so easy to attack the city? Didn’t they see that the first batch of enemy soldiers stayed near Xilin County for one night without doing anything? It’s only after going down to Xilin County that it’s the next best thing? Yongning County won’t be the second best, right?”
"My lord, the order said that our guards should be ready, which means that the higher-ups also know that Xilin County is not safe. According to the estimates of the subordinates, our guards will not be easily mobilized without major incidents."
"This place has been exposed. If the enemy sends troops from this side, they will inevitably change the exit. It will not be so easy to catch it. I don't know if the scouts looking for the entrance have cleared up the information. Only by cutting off the source can they be completely blocked. The enemy's troops are transported." Commander Chen is open-minded, he has done what he should do, and the rest can only be resigned to fate, hoping that the scouts sent will not be handed over, "Report the battle damage and apply for wartime conscription. "
"Yes, my lord." The orderly got on his horse with the battle report and headed towards the General Military Mansion.
It has been nearly ten days since Ji Xuanhe discovered the enemy invasion. Xilin County has been safe and sound. Although the people are puzzled, they will not run out of the city recklessly.
Ji Xuanhe thought it would be nice if he could stay like this forever, but he didn't want to go through war at all.No one wants to see the cruelty of war. Even an invincible general who wins all battles has such a feat, which is made of bones. No way.
"Report, my lord, this is the battle report sent by Commander Chen, please take a look at it."
Ji Xuanhe hurriedly put down his work, opened the battle report, and couldn't help but gasped. Commander Chen had actually fought against the third batch of enemy soldiers and won the battle. This news deserves joy and encouragement.Before Ji Xuanhe's smile reached his eyes, the news below caught him off guard again, what, the city of Yongning County is broken?
Yongning County is in the northwest of Xilin County, only separated by Wanxian County, and only one county away from Cangzhou.This is not good, Yongning County is fine, if the enemy uses Yongning County as a springboard to take Cangzhou Mansion, it will be terrible, it is the territory of King An, and if King An is defeated, these surrounding counties Definitely can't run away.
At this time, Ji Xuanhe's mind was buzzing, and he also had an idea with Commander Chen, and the city was destroyed in just a few days. Isn't there something tricky in Yongnian County?
Ji Xuanhe is very angry now, he took a sword and made gestures on the training ground for a while before letting out the depression in his heart.
There are a lot of people on the training ground, as long as the officials of the entire county government are idle, they will train here. If there is more force, the life will be more guaranteed.Although most of the people here have never even seen the shadow of the enemy soldiers, they know that Xia Xiancheng of Ji Zhi County and the others will never make fun of this matter.Besides, they were not blind, except for the two days when the city gate was just closed, there were foreigners entering the city, but they didn't meet anyone after that.You don't need to think about it to know that guard posts have been set up on the main roads all over the place, and the people are forbidden to move around at will.
The military strength of the Jifu Nursing Academy is the strongest, and the military strength of other people should not be underestimated, especially those servants who have followed Ji Xuanhe from the beginning. They have practiced elementary body training for more than ten years, and they will exercise whenever they have free time. His own riding and archery is not weak even for women.
Now Xilin County is shrouded in the shadow of war, and everyone in the Ji Mansion spends at least half a day with weapons, but the consequence of this is that everyone's appetite has increased. Fortunately, Shao Yunchen prepared a large amount of food, and the extra food was in the The quarter's mansion is nothing, but it's a burden to put it in the homes of ordinary people.
"Xuanhe, Yongning County is very close to Cangzhou, and the commander-in-chief will definitely not ignore it. If Cangzhou falls, the commander-in-chief will at least have to be demoted." Cangzhou is really captured, it is estimated that it is too late for the new emperor to be happy.I don't know how strong King An's command is. If the general soldier refuses to accept his control, it will be a joke.
What Shao Yunchen took was the map of Xilin County and nearby counties and counties, but this map was extremely simple, and it was a rough map drawn by him, Ji Xuanhe and the other two based on the reports of his servants.With their current resources, being able to have such a map is far beyond that of other magistrates. If they want more details, Ji Xuanhe can only use the writer system.
"I thought about it, and this may not be a bad thing. The general army didn't pay enough attention to it before, but now that some county towns have been breached, he can't just ignore them and must dispatch troops to fight back." Ji Xuanhe would think so, and it was also because he suddenly Thinking back, the Jin Dynasty was very powerful, if it hadn't been for the Little Ice Age and the time when the princes were vying for the throne, the tribes in the grassland would not dare to cross the border easily.The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty had an air of arrogance, and looked down on the small countries around them, and it was precisely because they didn't pay much attention to it that they capsized in the gutter, and Yongning County was destroyed in just a few days.
"I'm afraid the enemy will not occupy the city for a long time. The most likely scenario is that the county will be plundered and the people will be taken away." Shao Yunchen feels sorry for the people of Yongning County. Few people will survive this catastrophe. Not much.Population is the foundation of development. A county with tens of thousands of people is not a small number. Yongning County does not know how many years and people's efforts it will take to restore its previous level.
Ji Xuanhe could imagine the miserable situation. If he didn't have the writing system as the last resort to save his life, he would have no choice but to hide himself in such a situation.The odds of victory for common people against superior soldiers are extremely slim, and individual heroism is even more unrealistic. It is possible to fight ten against one, and there are almost no people who can retreat safely with one hundred.
At least Ji Xuanhe couldn't do it. The world Jinchao is in is a low-level military plane, so don't even think about internal magic powers and the like.Otherwise, Ji Xuanhe would have collected enough system coins to buy the secret books of exercises.Also because of this reason, the practice and cheat books in the writer system are extremely expensive, so Ji Xuanhe gave up a long time ago.
