Fighting always requires enough space. The more troops participating in the war, the more space they need. Otherwise, the troops cannot spread out and squeeze together. It will consume not only time but also materials.
The Han army was constantly mobilized to effectively cover the arrival of the Huben army.
Huben army is a cavalry with armor and equipment. They pay more attention to what battlefield to join than other arms. For example, light cavalry with light clothes can also show in multi slope and hilly areas. Heavy cavalry will not go to multi slope and hilly areas because of the relationship between weight-bearing and equipment consumption.
The terrain on the North Bank of the Yellow River in Jijin is more complex than that on the south bank. Puyang County is mostly flat, In ancient times, the cavalry (chariot soldiers) fought many large-scale battles in Puyang County. Anyone who has read some history books knows that Puyang County is suitable for cavalry combat. It is probably just suitable for cavalry combat that Shijie Zhao army positioned Puyang County as a decisive battle place, but they also took the opportunity to retreat after they found that they were surrounded.
The North Bank of the Yellow River in Jijin is under the jurisdiction of Jijun County, which is divided into six counties. In addition to linlie County in the north, the capitals such as Xiuwu County, Huojia County, Gongxian County, Chaoge county and Jixian County are all located in the south. In the areas along the yellow River, it fully shows that the Chinese summer calendar must build cities according to water.
The terrain in the south of Ji county is flat. In order to form military defense, some checkpoints need to exist, such as Tongguan in the southwest of Ji County, Fancheng in the west of Ji county and Fangtou in the northeast of Ji county. Their existence is to defend the capital of a county, so that the enemy will not use the flat terrain to drive straight into and conquer the capital of a county, resulting in the domino effect of the whole county after the fall of the capital, that is, after the capital is finished, the supreme officer is killed or captured, and after the loss of the supreme officer, all localities fight on their own.
The Han army took several steps to conquer Ji county. First, Huanwen's headquarters went north from Xingyang County in the southwest of Ji county. They conquered Tongguan without much effort.
There are historical reasons why Huan Wen's department can easily win the bronze pass. Tongguan was always valued in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty and the pre Zhao period of the Xiongnu. After Shijie ruled the Central Plains, it can be said that the Jie people did not make any achievements in governing the country, the productivity did not recover at all, and some important passes were not taken into account at all. As a result, Tongguan was not repaired at all.
In fact, it is not only the unknown Tongguan pass, but also several passes that must pass through the Qin land in the Guanzhong pass. Whether it is Tongguan or Yiguan as the gateway, or Lantian pass as the standby pass, it is clear that they all have extremely important strategic value, but the state of Zhao in Shijie really did not want to maintain and repair them.
The real situation is that in the central plains under the rule of Shijie, in the early period, apart from several Gongwei cities around Xiang state, several cities were listed as barriers after the wanton construction of palaces in Yecheng. Otherwise, the ruling class of Shijie only paid attention to several important places along the border, and the rest were basically ignored.
After winning the Tongguan pass, Huanwen's headquarters almost quickly captured Ji County, the capital, together with the surrounding Huojia city and Gongcheng. This situation is still related to the ruling thinking of Shijie. Shijie has full Hu characteristics. It not only doesn't pay attention to the cities, but also intends to make the cities deserted. It really has the posture of turning the central plains into a pasture.
Later, Huan Wen's headquarters marched into Chaoge and was blocked. Chaoge was located in the north of Jijin. At that time, Shi Hu was the white horse leading the army in Puyang County. Out of the importance of retreat, he chose to garrison in Chaoge. This move really played a key role. It was Huan Wen's department that was blocked in the dynasty song that led to the back. Shi Hu withdrew to Fangtou first, and finally retreated safely back to Yecheng.
The second batch of troops from the southwest to the north were xie'an's headquarters. They entered Ji county from Hanoi county. They first conquered and repaired martial arts, and then recaptured Huojia, Gongxian and Ji County, which were recovered by Shijie Zhao army because Huanwen's headquarters were trapped. They also took Fancheng, completely removed Shijie Zhao army in the west of Chaoge, and laid a foundation for rescuing the trapped Huanwen headquarters.
Xie'an's position was stable. They jumped hundreds of miles away from the northwest of Jijin and became an attack route from north to south. There was only one reason for this. At that time, the number of Jijin, Fangtou and Shijie Zhao troops of Chaoge was too large. In particular, the front line of Jijin and Chaoge was almost crowded with Shijie Zhao troops. If they rushed directly from the west to rescue the surrounded Huanwen office, they would inevitably fall into it. It would be better to open enough space from north to south, There are more circuitous routes to choose from when Shijie Zhao army is involved in going north.
Facts also proved that Xie an's rescue direction was correct. Their attack direction from north to South posed an extreme threat to Shijie Zhao Jun. Li Kuang gained an advantage in Suoyang City, and Xu Zheng led his army into Yangping county. The Han Army in three directions directly forced Shi Hu to give up staying in the front line and turtle to retreat back to Yecheng.
At present, the layout of the Han army is divided into several parts. Xie'an's department is located in the northwest, Li Kuang's department makes an advance from Fanyang of Yangping county to Neihuang of Weijun, and ran min is the main force in Jijin area.
The main part of the Shijie Zhao army led by Shi xuansuo is stationed in Fangtou, and the miscellaneous brand still surrounds Huanwen's headquarters in the dynasty song. Cao Fu also led a part of the Shijie Zhao army as the periphery. This group of Shijie Zhao army is located hundreds of miles away from the north of Chaoge. It can be seen that it is aimed at xie'an headquarters in the north of the battlefield.
The recent trend of the Han army is divided into three steps. The first is to coordinate the southward withdrawal of the troops fleeing the people in the state of Zhao in Shijie, and then Xie Anxian, the northernmost, led the army to move closer to Jijin. The first two steps are to pull and lead the Shijie Zhao army to make corresponding changes. The third step is to stretch the Shijie Zhao army, so that the Shijie Zhao army is forced to make mobilization, and each army becomes loose, creating a belligerent environment for the newly formed Northern Expedition Corps.
The Northern Expedition Corps dominated by ran min will be composed of 50000 guards and 80000 field troops, that is, only these troops will attack north. Whether the rest of the troops are still on the battlefield or around, the troops other than the Northern Expedition Corps will enter the stage of on-site Garrison or retreat to counter the rebels.
Shijie Zhao made his own judgment on the trend of the Han army. What Shi Hu considered is not clear for the time being. As the commander in chief of the front line, Shi Xuan thought absolutely simple.
"The besieged Han army must be destroyed!" Looking at the young Shi Xuan, his face was ferocious: "they have launched fewer and fewer arrows recently. It can be seen that the military supplies will be consumed. Send more miscellaneous soldiers to attack, exchange human lives for arrows, and strive to consume all their arrows one day earlier to lay the foundation for the general attack."
The miscellaneous soldiers in Shi Xuankou are zahu and Jin people. In fact, most of the Shijie Zhao troops around the Chaoge are also composed of zahu and Jin people.
Shi Hu provoked ethnic hatred. While the Hu people of all ethnic groups in the state of Zhao in Shijie slaughtered the Jin people, they also received orders to arrest the Jin people to the front line. Those who appeared in front of Huan Wen became miscellaneous players with Jin as the main force and were driven to attack forcibly.
Shi Xuan's judgment came from senior officials of Shijie such as Zhang Qun. This group of Shijie officials made such a judgment based on common sense. From the mobilization of the Han Army and the ethnic hatred and killing in various places, it can not be said that they were too stupid. They met a country that could not be guessed and judged by common sense.
Zhao Jun, Shijie of Chaoge, wanted to seize the opportunity to destroy Huanwen's headquarters. Ran min cooperated very much and continued to stretch enough space for the upcoming attack. The encircled Huanwen was really anxious.
"How?" Huan Wen was talking about the arrow situation. He had learned from the deliberate propaganda of Zhao Jun in Shijie that the peripheral Han army was retreating. He was skeptical. At the same time, there was a situation in the arrow supply of the headquarters. I don't know it was the adjustment made by Liu Yan. He was a little panicked for the first time: "impossible!"
The long history of TIAOYU gave an extremely affirmative answer: "the production of arrows in the field has stopped. According to the reserves and consumption, it will reach the bottom in three days."
"No!" Huan Wen really felt incredible. His face was very ugly. He was silent for a long time and asked, "food?"
"There is plenty of food and fodder." Tiaoyou's long history identity manages a lot of things, including military logistics. He asked in a speculative tone: "the retreat of peripheral reinforcements should be true. There is a problem with arrow supply. What major event has happened that we don't know?"
Because of the current situation of being besieged, Huan Wen and tiaoyou actually didn't know about the outbreak of racial hatred and killing in various places. The amount of information determines a person's thinking direction. Huan Wen suspects that he has become an abandoned son. TIAOYU actually has similar concerns.
TIAOYU's panic is higher than Huanwen's, and his idea is more direct than Huanwen's. The soldiers on their side have more than seven floors and are integrated from the original Ran's Qin state. Whether they are different from each other or out of weakening the influence of Ran's Qin state, it is not impossible for the center of the Han state to give up them under various realities.
The two are in a big account negotiation in the position of the Chinese army. They can still hear the sound of shouting and killing from a distance. It is strange that the shouting and killing are in Chinese.
"I don't believe the king will give us up!" Huan Wen put aside his panic and panic, as if to convince himself: "the Han Army has never been destroyed by the organic system, and we will not be the first!"
TIAOYU frowned and remained silent. If it was true, as he guessed, the possibility of them becoming abandoned children was infinite. After all, compared with the stability of the country in the future, it was nothing to destroy an army in an organic form.
Huan Wen was upset and didn't want to talk more. He walked on all fronts to boost morale and told the soldiers that the news spread by Shijie Zhao Jun was false. All the soldiers should unite as one.
The besieged Han army suddenly cut off the supply of arrows and had to control the consumption of arrows. Shi Xuan was crazy and drove a strong attack. Before, the Han army could keep the front outside the camp. Unexpectedly, only one day later, the first camp had become a battlefield.
The new changes in the war situation greatly stimulated Shi Xuan's enthusiasm. He ignored the 20000 casualties in just one day and drove his miscellaneous soldiers to attack from all sides.
Huan Wen wanted to dispel the rumors spread by Zhao Jun in Shijie, but it was not so simple. In fact, the rumors really affected the morale of his officers and men, especially after the first camp became a battlefield, the morale decreased with the passage of time.
On the second day of the new changes in the war situation, Zhang Qun had a new psychological offensive and spread it to the encircled Huanwen headquarters. It was said that ran min was killed because he launched a rebellion, and the center of the Han state had given up rescue because most of them were born in the Ran's state of Qin and intended to let them be eliminated here.
On the one hand, it spread specious rumors that it was difficult to prove. On the other hand, Zhang Qun also issued a proposal to persuade Shi Xuan to surrender. According to his original words, "if the trapped Han Army really surrender, it will earn money. If they don't surrender, it will further hit their morale."
Shi Xuan had a high degree of trust in Zhang Qun and accepted the proposal without hesitation.
People born in the state of Qin of the ran family basically have a certain understanding of ran Minhui. As soon as the rumor spread by Zhao Jun in Shijie came, tiaoyou was really frightened.
According to TIAOYU's understanding of Ran min, he deeply knows that ran min is really not a willing person. He knows that ran min is an ambitious hero. The self disintegration of Ran's Qin state is only a dormant measure under ran min's compulsion, and this is also a secret kept secret by the former senior level of Ran's Qin state, The difference is that after they understand the real strength of the Han country, they divide themselves.
[it's not impossible!] TIAOYU was extremely anxious and thought: [I don't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it. Once anyone confesses to the king, it's really possible to rebel recklessly. Then the king's general will withdraw his reinforcements and wipe out this large distribution by the hand of Shijie. It's the troops of the original Ran's Qin army. Isn't it a logical thing?]
People really can't think nonsense, especially as a high-level, they can't easily panic and lose confidence. Huan Wen is trying his best to support. The problem is that the soldiers integrated by Ran's Qin state have more natural affinity to tiaoyou. The abnormal situation of tiaoyou directly affects the idea of generals.
As soon as people's hearts are in disorder, they can survive as soon as they stand up, and the difficulties will become unsustainable. As a direct result, their first camp fell in only one day, and the overall situation is even worse.
Huan Wen wanted to break the game. He calmed down alone. Finally, he remembered some prisoners and interrogated them in person before he learned the general trend of the world.
"The stone tiger provoked hatred and murder among all ethnic groups, and the Hu people everywhere continued to rage." Huan Wen knew what had happened, but his calm mind was confused again. He almost said to tiaoyou with an iron face: "this can explain clearly. The reinforcements are really retreating. They want to withdraw to the country to counter the rebellion."
"Did we really give up?" In an instant, TIAOYU turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "then there has always been rebellion..."
"That's not what we think." Huan Wen's face was livid, but he looked at it with incomparable perseverance: "no matter what the situation is, I will never surrender even if I fight to a soldier or even die in the battlefield!"
TIAOYU had not worked at Shijie before. In fact, he had wavered in Shi Xuan's persuasion. At a glance, Huan Wen showed his firm will to resist to the end despite his despair. He couldn't help but stay for a moment.
