Chapter 152 Pingxiang Guard Battle 1
When the army went out, the people rushed to see each other off. The gifts given to these soldiers were what they were usually reluctant to eat at home. Many soldiers' eyes turned red, and even many old people asked the teenagers at home to work hard to join the army after practicing martial arts. In the face of such a scene, Xu Huang was once again moved.
Jiang Yu led 500 cavalry to gallop in the direction of Hanyang County, leaving only smoke and dust all the way.
Jia Rong led 2,000 cavalry in the middle, and 500 cavalry were escorted by Ulan. More than 100 of the remaining cavalry were placed in Lingzhou City to maintain contact with the army at any time. Before leaving, Jia Rong also told Zhang Li to recruit an army to protect Pingxiang. The 120 soldiers of the lonely wolf had been Jia Rong three days ago. It was sent to the front line to get more information for the army.
Because it was all cavalry, the march of the Xiliang Army was very fast, and the scouts were desperately scattered in all directions. In ancient times, when communication was extremely backward, the scouts were the eyes and ears of an army.
The counties along the way cooperated very well and tried their best to support the food and fodder supply of this Xiliang Army, and even the source of soldiers was opened to Jia Rong. Jia Rong also looted all the way. As long as he thought it was useful, it was inevitable that there would be a bitter battle to go to Pingxiang. As for the death and death of these counties, Jia Rong was not worried about. After all, since He is not a saint.
Jia Rong is not polite about this. Since there is such cannon fodder, why let the soldiers who are loyal to him die? Nearly 2,000 infantry were gathered along the way, all of which were handed over to Zhang Wei for management. The infantry of the Xiliang Army were scattered in various counties, and Zhang Wei's power became much smaller. The team of 2,000 people could just calm down. Zhang Wei, even if Zhang Wei doesn't care about these, Jia Rong will do it.
In fact, Jia Rong's army can be regarded as a strange thing in the Han army. In the era of scarcity of infantry and cavalry, how difficult it is to form such a cavalry of more than 3,000 people. In addition, the war horses of the Central Plains have been casteed, which are disposable consumables, and the war horses are even more precious. It's expensive. Three thousand war horses can consume more than three thousand. The war horses should be carefully fed, and the forage should be fine. A small part of the war horses in Jia Rong's army has not been castrationed. The Qiang people's riding skills are superb. In their view, only fierce horses can be matched with warriors. In this way, many war horses can be used as horses, which solves the part of the Xiliang Army. The problem of war horses.
The situation along the way was quickly transmitted to Jia Rong through a famous scout, and some important information in front of him was also transmitted to the army through the hand of the lonely wolf. According to the information obtained, Han Sui's Xiliang Army was rectified in Jincheng County, and he could fully arrive before Han Sui arrived in Pingxiang City.
Seven days later, Jia Rong led his army to reach the outside of Pingxiang City. Looking at the low wall of Pingxiang City, Jia Rong smiled bitterly. Can such a wall withstand the enemy's charge? Even if the Qiang people's army did not have a sharp weapon to attack the city, they have broken through Jincheng County. What kind of siege tools can't be obtained? In addition, there is A character like Han Sui should not be despised.
There is one Li Wenhou among the Qiang people, but this rebellion combines Xian Lingqiang and Han Sui Bianzhang. He has to pay attention to it. If he is not careful, he will die, and Jia Rong will only be gradually forgotten.
Jia Rong has the intention to retreat, but Dong Zhuo is stationed in Longguan, which has the intention of being a supervisor.
Jiang Yu had already arrived in Pingxiang City first. The county magistrate and county officials did not dare to neglect and went out of the city to greet him.
Jia Rong's reputation has already spread all over the government and the public when the yellow scarf was broken in the battle of Changshe. Coupled with last year's battle of Qiang people, no one dares to underestimate this young general.
After a cordial greeting with the county magistrate, Jia Rong led the army into the city. Both sides of the street were already full of people, which seemed to have a sense of welcome, whether these people were sincere or not.
From these people, Jia Rong did not realize the enthusiasm and heartfelt welcome of the people of Bedi County and Lingzhou.
Under the command of the county magistrate, the army was stationed in the city, and 300 guards followed Jia Rong. According to Li Li's training, Jia Rong's absolute safety should be guaranteed under any circumstances. In this way, he is a qualified guard, and even if he sacrifices his life, he will not hesitate.
Three hundred guards followed, and Jia Rong didn't care. During the war, anything could happen, and it was good to prevent trouble before it happened.
Jia Ronggang walked into the county government, and 300 guards surrounded the county government. If outsiders saw it, they would think that something would happen to the county government.
Jia Rong smiled bitterly at the county magistrate beside him and said, "There's nothing I can do. These are all personal guards. Liu County magistrate understands me."
Liu County magistrate said nothing. In fact, he has long despised Jia Rong in his heart. He has never seen a general go out with so many soldiers. Obviously, he is afraid of death, and Jia Rong is nothing more than that.
The county magistrate surname of Pingxiang, surnamed Liu, is a very thin old man. According to the county magistrate of Liu, the people of Pingxiang heard that the Qiang army was about to attack, and they had almost fled, leaving some old people who were difficult to leave their hometown, and there were only a few young and middle-aged people.
The county magistrate naturally became Jia Rong's office. As for the Liu county magistrate, he was waiting beside him. At this time, there was no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young, otherwise the Liu county magistrate could stand on the wall to persuade the rebels to surrender.
On the day Jia Rong came, he immediately posted a notice in Pingxiang. However, all the young and middle-aged people who are 15 years older can spontaneously go to the county government to sign up for the militia, ten yuan a day, and the 50,000 yuan brought by the Xiliang Army is not planned to take it back.
Fifty thousand yuan, put in today's Han Dynasty is definitely a huge wealth, which is unimaginable. Imagine that a consistent amount of money is equal to a thousand yuan, while fifty thousand yuan is fifty million yuan, fifty million five baht, even if it is counted for a long time.
No matter when money is used, money is very easy to use. Jia Rong, as a future person, knows more about the meaning of this sentence, while the county magistrate of Liu doesn't care about Jia Rong's notice. In his opinion, even if the money is not needed, as long as the notice is issued, the people will apply.
On the second day when the notice was posted, there were no longer a few followers gathered at the gate of the county government. The most were middle-aged and elderly, and the young and middle-aged people were no longer in the minority.
Unless they are particularly old, Jia Rong is all included and forms a team of more than 1,000 people. They all live in the city. They don't need Jia Rong to pay for their meals. This army also has a very good name, the militia.
After receiving the news of Lone Wolf, the vanguard army of the rebels (the team of Han Suibianzhang and the Qiang people is called the rebels) can arrive in Pingxiang in three days. Time is tight, and Jia Rong immediately prepared a series of countermeasures.
The first thing to do is to close the gate tightly, block it with big stones behind the door, leaving only the north gate, and there is no need to move it away if you come to the reinforcements.
Blocking the city gate can save more military power. At present, the most important thing is to strengthen the city wall. Nowadays, nearly 7,000 people have gathered in the small Pingxiang City, all of whom have come on the stage. Jia Rong personally commanded. Looking at the gradually thickened wall, Jia Rong's heart is also relaxed a little.
In order to prevent Han Sui, an old fox, from digging a tunnel to attack the city, a lot of urns have been buried in the city. As long as the Qiang people dare to do something on the ground, the city can get news immediately.
If time permits, Jia Rong will even dig a deep trench outside the city and let the soldiers fight the enemy in the trench.
Today's Pingxiang City is not as solid as a golden soup, and it is not comparable to three days ago. The whole Pingxiang City is shrouded in tight preparations, and the big stone and gutter are desperately transported to the city.
When the rebel vanguard army arrived at the city of Pingxiang, the banners on the wall were covered with knives and guns, which made all the rebel soldiers take a breath of cold air. In such a city, even tens of thousands of troops attacked together, how long it would take to break through. Unlike the Han army, this time the rebels hurriedly gathered, and there was not enough food and grass. Taking advantage of the harvest season to make a fortune in the Han Dynasty, the counties they met before were basically taken by a charge, and they did not encounter any decent resistance.
The bravery of the Han soldiers made the rebel soldiers dare not despise them. The majesty of the Han Dynasty for many years was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is why the Han people feel superior.
The big black characters embroidered on the banner made many rebels even more chilly.
In terms of momentum, Jia Rong's Xiliang Army has a strong victory. If you look carefully, you will find that many of them are old and weak. However, nearly 6,000 Han soldiers are not the vanguard team of this rebel army. The reason why the rebels can hit Pingxiang City so quickly is because of other counties. It's just the temporary recruitment of soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not enough. After seeing some of the situation on the wall, the rebel vanguards outside the city are also relieved. In the city, there is a group of temporarily formed troops.
Jia Rong stood on Pingxiang City fully armed, staring at the vanguard of the 2,000 rebels outside the city. The rebels came from afar and were slightly tired, and there were more than 1,000 infantrymen out of the 2,000 people.
Deliberately weak, and also to paralyze the rebels who came from afar. The 3,000 cavalry that had already gathered in the city quietly waited for Jia Rong's order. The eyes of the Qiang soldiers showed a bloodthirsty light. The Qiang people most respected was force, and the best way to test force was war. Qiang soldiers were not fools. The warriors they admire are not only talented fierce generals, but the key is to constantly lead them to win the battle.
The rebel team outside the city was also looking at the Han army in the city. Suddenly, a general found something and communicated with the general next to him, and sometimes bursts of arrogant laughter.
Looking at the rebel vanguard outside the city lowered his vigilance, Jia Rong made a gesture to the 3,000 cavalrymen who were already ready to go under the city. The gate to the north opened, that is, the ones facing the rebels, and the 3,000 cavalry rushed out of the city and killed the rebel vanguard not far away.
Jia Rong walked down the city wall, turned over the war horse, and slapped the horse's back fiercely. The war horse ran out of the city like an arrow from the string. Three hundred guards followed closely, and Xu Huang also joined the battlefield with a long gun.
Please accept the red and reward. Your support is the driving force for the continuous progress of the iron horse. Thank you for the friends who have always supported the iron horse. Without you, there would be no iron horse today!
