Chapter 1001 Middle plan
At the end of April, on the first day of the war, the 500 militias of the Baima Town Militia Battalion and 2500 reserve militias accompanied by the army occupied Jiumen Village, Jiumen County, the north bank of the Hutuo River.
When Nie Lieji rode a black war horse and raised his chest and raised his head, he could hear gusts of wind and thunder and swords and weapons. This fox ditch is said to be the ancient battlefield where the Tang general Li Guangbi and the rebel general Shi Siming fought during the Anshi Rebellion. Countless corpses and destroyed weapons and armor were buried underground. Therefore, when people walked by the ravine, they could often hear the sound of fighting on the battlefield.
On the river beach behind the ditch is a piece of willow, poplar, birch, locust, and mulberry trees. On the slopes at a slightly higher point are dotted with more than a hundred houses with gray roofs and yellow walls. Around the village walls made of thick stones and loess, there is a tall windmill at the corner of the river beach in front of the village. The tall windmill is like a small flower, and the mill is the fruit that has been produced.
Nie Lieji took his Baima Town militia command and moved into Lin Jiawen's yard in the village. Lin Jiawen's father was once the village chief, and his family was passed down from generation to generation. The farmyard was cleaner and unique than other families. Lin Jiawen did not escape or hide. Facing the three thousand "Qinfan soldiers" who suddenly flocked into the village, he was a little nervous, but he was not afraid. In the past two years, he had been to Wuji County many times and met many Qin troops. He knew that the Qin army
With discipline, they would not rob, nor would they burn and kill. Of course, these were just legends in Wuji City in the past, but he still felt that it was worthy of a letter. After all, Jiumen Village and Wuji were only separated by a river, but the Qin army was stationed in Wuji for several years, but there was no incident of robbery that crossed the border. Even they went to Wuji to exchange for local products and did not charge them more money. Of course, when he stayed, he was more reluctant to leave his home, and the Qin army came too quickly.
Lin Jiawen took the third brother and Xiaoyong to entertain the twenty people who were in his house attentively. At the beginning, he hid his wife, mother and daughter in the vegetable cellar, but soon he discovered that these Qin soldiers were even more unfair than he thought, so he gradually relaxed. Finally, after receiving the food expenses given to him by the commander of the Qin army, he simply called out the women and asked them to go to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Nie Lieji tied the horse behind the horse shed and looked around the yard. The family's life was obviously quite good. The three-entry yard, painted chairs, and even a wooden-shelled glass-mirror-shaped self-ringing clock. Even if this clock is the cheapest type now, if you may have one, you will definitely be a rich farmer landlord.
Nie Lieji took off the heavy armor and hung it on the wall, leaving only a rope armor on his body, and took off his helmet, put it on the table, took out the cigarette pole and put it on to put it on the tobacco.
Zhao Tai walked in, leaned his spear against the table, and said to him: "The army has surrounded Jiumen City. Now the rice outside is all our belongings. The militias from all towns have entered each village. The militias in our town have completely controlled Jiumen Village, and the people in this village have not resisted."
"Well, it's very good. Send a team of people to patrol and supervise discipline. You must never rob, burn and kill "Jianyin". Let everyone prepare and wait for lunch to start going to the field to harvest rice in the afternoon."
During lunch, there were smoke from cooking above Jiumen Village. The militias in Baima Town seemed to be coming to visit relatives for a banquet. The people of Jiumen Village were also "warm" to entertain them. If it weren't for the patrol team in the village, the militias standing guard at the door of every family, and the swords and weapons in their hands, it would really make people think that there was a lively wedding here.
After a meal, Nie Lieji directly invited the prestigious representatives of Jiumen Village, scholar Lin Jiawen, village chief Lin Jiarui, and several old men from the Lin family. Sitting in the middle hall of his home, but at this time, Lin Jiawen was so restrained that he didn't know where to put his hands. Facing the tea brought by several young militiamen, they just kept nodding to them with a somewhat stiff and flattering smile.
Nie Lieji saw all this in his eyes, coughed, and attracted everyone's gaze.
Then he said, "My fellow villagers, we are militias in Baima Town, Dingzhou, Qinfan. I have just introduced it. The mayor of Baima Town Nie Lieji." After a pause, he continued, "This time we came here to follow the order of the King of Qin and respect the order of the Emperor Chang'an to fight against the Chengde rebels. But don't worry, the King of Qin is kind, and this time he sent troops to fight against rebellion and not to hurt the people. However, now I want to discuss with the fellow villagers..."
After hearing the Qin army commander's words, Lin Jiawen felt much more at ease. The Qin army commander promised not to hurt the people of Jiumen Village, which must be counted. However, he sighed a little at the request he just made. Although the Qin army said that it would not hurt them, it proposed to requisition the grain from their fields for military purposes. When he saw the Qin army appear, he thought of this result. The army was outside and there was food in the fields, so how could it be let go?
However, what surprised him was that Qin Jun actually proposed two compensation conditions.
"Don't worry, we won't take the food in vain. There are two plans here. First, after you collect your food, you will compensate you for your money at the price. Second, you will temporarily register the requisition of the food. If you are willing to move to the Qin vassal state, then after the resettlement is completed, the government will compensate the corresponding money according to the number. Or, temporarily register it, and wait until our army will fight against the rebellion of Chengde in the future, and then reimburse the compensation. You see these conditions, which one do you want to choose?"
Originally, this time we were going to rob the harvest of food, but the specific camps had new orders. For those who did not resist and oppose the Qin army, the Qin army could not directly take away their food and property, but proposed these two solutions for long-term consideration. After all, the two towns were about to perish, and soon these people would be all the people of the Qin vassal states.
Lin Jiawen turned around and discussed with his brothers and uncles for a while, and finally he felt that the Qin army had very generous conditions. Although in the troubled times, everyone hoped to keep their own food, they also knew that this was impossible. This was when they met the Qin army. If there were other troops, which one would care about you, and they would just rob the grain and leave. Originally, two elders thought they should take the money directly, and a few brothers thought they should move to the Qin vassal state. They thought that this was the case now. Although the Qin army was good to them, if the Qin army left in the future, it would be difficult to guarantee that the German army would not be defeated.
Later, they settled the accounts. However, Lin Jiawen and his cousin, Village Chief Jiarui, were still reluctant to leave here. According to the genealogy, their Lin family had moved here during the Shang Dynasty. There were so many dynasties that had risen and fallen, and their Lin family had always been rooted in it. How could they abandon the foundation of their ancestral business in this generation? What's more, they also felt that the Chengde Army could not defeat the Qin army at all this time, and it was very likely that the Qin army would annex Chengde Town in one fell swoop. In this way, they would be the Qin family in the future. Since this is the case, they still had to leave their hometowns and abandon the ancestral tombs and ancestral temples.
They quickly reached an agreement and persuaded several other representatives to stay. At the same time, they did not dare to ask for the Qin army's money, but only said they would register it first. They still felt that although the chief of the Qin army was willing to give it money, they did not dare to take it. They just thought that this was just a remark from the Qin army.
Nie Lieji called a document to carefully register the number of fields in each family. Then in the afternoon of that day, the militias of Baima Town and the whole village of Jiumen Village also went down to the fields and began to harvest. Almost at the same time, the entire Hebei Plain began to harvest. Countless sickles were waving, countless rice and wheat fell down, tied up, and sent back to the village.
Jiumen City.
The magistrate of Jiumen County, He Town, sat in the county government with a group of civil and military officials, and they were all frowning and sighing.
"It's not OK to sit and wait for death like this!" Wang Bao, the town general, slapped the table with a loud bang. "The Qin army was playing viciously this time, and the soldiers besieged the city, and then let the militia harvest our wheat from behind. If this continues, it will take them a few days to snatch our food. How can we fight in the future?"
County Magistrate Lin Lun stroked his beard and sighed: "General Wang is calm, calm, calm down. Now the Qin army wants us to leave the city. There are only one thousand soldiers and horses in our city, but according to the horse exploration, there are 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry troops stationed outside the city. Although these are not the most elite combat soldiers of the Qin army, the defense forces and the city defense forces over there are not ordinary soldiers. Just like us, it is not enough to go out to fight. We must not fight in the city. We should stick to the principle of waiting for assistance."
Wang Bao snorted coldly, looking down on the county magistrate who was afraid of death. But he also knew that not only Jiumen City was surrounded, but Qin soldiers were already besieged in other cities. He heard that the Qin army was acting rapidly this time, and even sent the most elite 100,000 field troops to surround the eight prefectures in the second towns of Dewei and Bo. The current situation is that the Qin army arrogantly divided the two towns with elite forces, and surrounded the city cities of the two towns, the field troops surrounded the prefectures, border guards and city guards surrounded the county towns, and the militia directly occupied the countryside and robbed their rice. At present, they would not have reinforcements!
In Zhending City, Zhenzhou, where the vassal governor's mansion in Chengde Town, Wang Jingyin's brothers stood on the city gate tower, watching the 20,000 Qin army field troops who were directly slim into the enemy's territory, and went deep into the city of Zhenzhou, and camped directly by the Hutuo River. The 20,000 Qin army field troops were so angry that their faces were so angry that they were purple.
"Li Jing is too bullying. Can't I really think my Wang family is just a mud?"
Anyone who is ignored like this will feel unhappy. After all, Chengdezhen is one of the oldest vassal states in the Tang Dynasty. He has always had a firm control and can be said to be strong in his troops. Even if he has weakened over the years, he must not be ignored like this.
The Qin army's tactics were too arrogant and they came directly to a whole area to surround them, treating them as if nothing had happened.
"Third brother, you will immediately lead the Boye Army out of the city tonight. While the Qin army has arrived and the camp has not yet been established, you will catch him off guard. If the tiger does not show its power, they really regard us as sick cats!"
Wang Jing was ready to go and nodded and responded: "Please don't worry, brother, I will definitely give them some color this time!"
That night, Wang Jingqi led 30,000 wild troops to quietly leave the camp. At the end of the month, it was pitch black and dull. Wang Jingqi took the lead and led his army to attack the banks of the Hutuo River from three sides, preparing to directly drive 20,000 Qin troops into the river to feed the fish. The Qin camp was getting closer and closer, and the black camp gate was wide open. Wang Jingqi was excited and shouted, "Kill, break the Qin camp!"
The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the vanguard of the Boye Army in Chengdezhen roared past, and the horse's hooves rushed straight to the Qin camp with a rumbling sound. One by one, the Zhao soldiers began to pull out their sabers and lowered their bodies, preparing to teach the arrogant Qin people a lesson.
As soon as the camp gate rushed in, Zhao Bing, who was rushing in front, had already thrown out of the flying grab and pulled down several tents. But what surprised them was that there was no scream, and the screams sounded. On the contrary, there was no other sound in the tent except their shouts of killing and horse hooves.
There was a burst of uneasiness in his heart. Zhao Bing continued to rush into the camp with inertia and anxiety, and the tents were pulled down one by one. The subsequent Zhao Bing had already lit the torches and rockets, and began to throw the torches around, constantly setting the rockets.
Fires were everywhere, and the camp shone in the fires like daylight.
At this time, Wang Jingqi finally reached something.
His face turned pale and turned pale. Then it turned purple.
His lips were trembling, and he shouted loudly: "Qin Gou had been ambushed for a long time, and he was trapped. Please withdraw quickly!"
His voice seemed extremely sad, and the nearby Zhao soldiers also changed color. However, under the night, there were roaring in the Qin camp. The sound of horse hooves, fire, and shouting of killing. Wang Jingqi and the shouts of soldiers around him did not come far. In this noise, he was drowned.
Night attacks are originally a double-edged sword full of variables. Even the most elite troops will win or lose 55. Not to mention the Zhao army's 30,000 troops, many of them are recruits and peasants. In this kind of night attack, once they fall into the trap, they will begin to be in chaos and disorder.
The soldiers in front knew that they had fallen into the Qin army's plan and were in panic and wanted to withdraw from the camp immediately, but the Zhao army behind them had no idea what was ahead, and they were still rushing forward.
Chaos arise, and before the Qin army appears, the Zhao army is in chaos.
Wang Jingqi couldn't understand why the Qin army could have expected that they would attack the camp tonight, and how they suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was only twenty miles away from Zhenzhou City. Where did they go and how did they go, why no spy discovered it? Damn it. When they went back, the first thing was to cut off all the damn guys, and Wang Jingqi thought resentfully.
At this moment, countless screams suddenly sounded in the darkness, followed by the dark night, and suddenly there were stars. At the next moment, the stars began to fall from the sky.
Meteors are raining fire, meteorites fall from the sky, and the sky collapses and the earth breaks!
Many newly recruited recruits and peasants looked up at the sky with shock and dementia, and were surprised by the magnificent scene of the sky at that moment, and even forgot everything and were completely shocked.
When the veterans of the Boye Army looked up and saw the magnificent scene in the sky, they looked like they saw a ghost, and their faces changed drastically and turned pale. Some even began to tremble all over their bodies, and then they shouted, even throwing away the swords and weapons in their hands, and began to flee wildly. Some people jumped directly into the ditch in front of the Qin army camp, hugged their heads and shivered all over their bodies.
It only took a moment from the roar to the stars falling to the ground, but for many Zhao troops, it seemed to have been a hundred years.
Finally, the stars fell to the ground, and the earth shook waver. Many Zhao soldiers even stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. Their ears suddenly couldn't hear anything, and they only saw the terrified expressions of the brothers next to them, and fled everywhere...
Hundreds of steps away from the Qin army camp, at some point, the Qin army that disappeared from the camp appeared here. In front of their array, rows of flying thunder cannons pointed obliquely towards the sky. Under the big hand of the commander-in-chief Zhou Dewei, the launching medicine was ignited almost at the same time. Then countless flying thunders flew into the air and shot towards the preset artillery point.
Although it was dark, the artillery soldiers did not need to aim at it at all. This artillery position was established at the same time when camping. The preset target of the artillery array was the Qin army camp. In other words, when Zhou Dewei first arrived at the city of Zhenzhou, he had already expected that the Chengde army would leave the city to attack at night.
Zhou Dewei's prediction was indeed correct. Cheng De's army really came out of the city and attacked, and suddenly entered the Qin army's camp, which was the preset area.
After dark, Zhou Dewei took the entire camp ten miles outside the camp. Then, as soon as the Zhao army left the city, he immediately brought his troops back and quickly put the flying thunder cannon on a pre-set position. When the camp fire broke out, Zhou Dewei waved his hand coldly, and the Qin army artillery finally showed his power.
Thunder cannons from one door kept roaring, and the flower of death bloomed under the night sky, taking away one Zhao Bing's life after another.
The greatest effect brought by the roar of the flying thunder cannon is not the direct lethality, but the instant collapse of the Zhao army's array and their fighting will. Facing the flying thunder shot from the sky in the darkness, facing the collapse of the sky and the cracks of the earth and the rocks, the new recruits collapsed first.
The collapse of the new recruits soon caused a few veterans who had been barely able to survive to disperse.
"Rise!" Zhou Dewei said expressionlessly. If he is not in charge of the army, he can become the governor of the capital. Zhou Dewei has already felt thunder and faces like a flat lake.
With the operation of the artillery, a sudden burst of even more violent sounds suddenly broke out around the Qin army camp. The mines buried by the artillery in advance began to show their power. The continuous explosions continued to sound, and the entire Qin army camp instantly became a hell on earth...
On Zhending City, Wang Jingyin's face turned extremely ugly when he heard the fire rising from the sky in the south and the constant bursting sounds.
Soon, several riders rushed over and hurried up the city tower.
"Report!"
