Chapter 384 Soldiers in Dunhuang

Xu Shu seemed to have been prepared for a long time. When he heard the words, he came forward and said, "Master, Dunhuang Zhangye, like Jiuquan, is a poor place in the border county. The people have been looking forward to the benevolent and righteous teacher for a long time. They only cancel the master's letter. Why worry about the injustice between the two places?"

"Yuanzhi, as far as I know, the officials of the second county of Zhangye in Dunhuang and the Yuan family are old. On that day, Dong Zhuo in Yueyang killed thousands of the Yuan family. Although I didn't participate, I'm afraid the two counties will also complain to me. This trip will not be too smooth." Jia Rong looked worried.

"In this way, it is a little difficult. The princes of the two counties resist the lord, which does not mean that the people under his rule do not welcome the arrival of the lord. The lonely wolf only needs a little provocation in the city, and I'm afraid it can make those people who don't eat their clothes undressed. At that time, the lord will take the benevolent and righteous teacher to go, and the two counties can't raise their hands."

"It's just that our army's strength is a little weak this time. Although the lord's thousand guards are strong in combat effectiveness, they are cavalry, which is not suitable for attacking the city. Ten thousand horses under General Zhang will be used. The siege equipment in the city is insufficient. If the lord wants to seize the two counties, he should have made preparations in advance."

"The soldiers in the two counties have not been in war for a long time. It is expected that they will not be too elite. Under the rush of the army, and then there are lone wolf soldiers secretly entering the city to cooperate, then the two places can go down!"

Jia Rong nodded slightly to agree. I have to say that Xu Shu's military ability is still very good. "The equipment is on the way. I believe it will arrive soon. Yuan Zhi will stay in the army. It's not too late to return to Chang'an after the second county is paced."

Xu Shu bowed to his promise that the war was a great achievement for the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.

"It's up to you to arrange the affairs of the two counties. If you can capture the two counties, your previous faults will no longer be investigated." Jia Rong put down his words and turned around and left. Giving advice is not his own strengths. Leave the headache to smart people to do.

Xu Shu's series to the end is to command the three armies in front of Jia Rong. Few people can have such an honor in the Xiliang Army. In Jia Rong's opinion, the annoying thing is the most enthusiastic thing for his counselors.

Jia Rong also has a certain purpose to use Jiuquan as a springboard to attack the second county. Most of Zhang Liao's subordinates are Dong Zhuo's subordinates in the past. There must be people who guard people. Zhang Liao may be loyal to the Xiliang army. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be extremely vicious people. The weakening of the strength of these people will be beneficial to the Xiliang army, otherwise Jia Xu He will not sit back and watch Jia Rong lead thousands of guards to Jiuquan.

"General Zhang, attack Dunhuang Zhangye, the front of your part."

Zhang Liao hugged his fist and said, "Dare not to die!" In his position, Zhang Liao has now regarded himself as a general of the Xiliang Army. Attacking Jiuquan Zhangye is the opportunity for generals to gain fame. Zhang Liao also does not want to miss it. He does not have so many twists and turns in his heart as Jia Rong. He only knows how to fight on the horse, leading the army to attack the city and land for the Xiliang Army.

As expected, the second county did not mean to surrender to the Xiliang army at all. After receiving Jia Rong's persuasion letter, it was followed by fierce soldiers and horses to strengthen the walls. The family in the city was also well mobilized by the guards of the two counties. Jia Rong's past actions are vivid in his mind. Even in Chang'an now, the family is not There is a chance to get ahead. The officials in the court are not honest.

Naturally, the tragic situation of the two major families in Jiuquan County did not escape the eyes of the two counties. The Xiliang Army was no different from the heinous demons in their eyes. They could not avoid it. The private soldiers of the family were sent to the head of the city, and the defenders of Dunhuang reached 8,000 people, which greatly contributed to the arrogance of the governor of Dunhuang.

In the past, also in Liangzhou, Jia Rong could resist tens of thousands of thousands of rebels of Han Sui with more than 3,000 people. Why couldn't he use 8,000 people to stop more than 10,000 people from Jia Rong? The military method of war was "ten encircled", and Jia Rong led the army to attack the city. In his opinion, it was completely stupid.

The family and the official family are tightly hugged together. If the Xiliang Army wants to capture the second county, it is bound to encounter unprecedented resistance.

The carriages bring the siege equipment of the Xiliang Army. The development of the craftsman's workshop is not comparable to that day. There are more than 5,000 blacksmiths, and there are tens of thousands of people next to them. Now each blacksmith will bring at least one apprentice and teach them something.

As long as Jia Rong is willing, why is it difficult for the craftsman's workshop to produce 100,000 arrows every day?

Half of the blacksmiths think about how to produce advanced weapons and get rewards. Seeing that their peers who were not as good as themselves in the past gradually became richer because of rewards, it is a lie to say that they are not envious.

The craftsman's workshop adopts an assembly line-style production method, just like a small arrow. The bows and arrows and arrows of the Xiliang Army have completely unified specifications. Not only that, but also the siege ladder and the punching car.

Not only is the production efficiency amazing, but the weapons become more and more sophisticated. The apprentices learned a little skill of the master, like a crossbow, and the parts inside were specifically disassembled and divided into different places.

Today's craftsman's workshop can be said to be a blessing for all the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty. Especially under the hint of Jia Rong, when the Puyuan official position of the craftsman's workshop was slightly higher than that of the county magistrate, the whole Han set off a wave of blacksmiths. The county magistrate's official position is low in the eyes of many rulers, but it is a noble existence in the eyes of ordinary people.

A worthless craftsman can also become an official once, as long as you can make enough efforts in Chang'an's workshop.

Jia Rong's words to Pu Yuan were, "Despite the research, all the money will be paid by Xianlian Pavilion."

After the rapid rise of Xianlian Pavilion in Chang'an, there has been a deficit. Fortunately, Jia Rong's family's big business has increased the sales of Xianlian in a short period of time, but it has survived.

Tens of thousands of soldiers appeared in front of Dunhuang County half a month later, cutting through the thorns all the way. The governor of Dunhuang had a fighting spirit. The officials under his command did not think so. The duel with the famous Xiliang Army was no different from hanging of the old birthday star, and the soldiers guarding the city were also panicked.

When more than 10,000 people suddenly appeared outside the city, the oppression brought to the defenders in the city was still great.

The cavalry lived on the left and right wings of the battle array and quietly peeped at the battlefield. Tens of thousands of infantry stood silently outside the city without any noise, waiting for the arrival of the battle.

At this time, the silence prevailed, and the hands of the defenders in the city clenched the weapons couldn't help trembling, and carefully turned their eyes to their hundreds of generals.

"Generals and soldiers, as long as we stick to the city, the reinforcements from Zhangye will be able to defeat the Xiliang army under the city, defend the home behind them, and fight to the death with the Xiliang army. There are only ten thousand enemies. What are you afraid of?" Zhao Lilang, the governor of Dunhuang, said that most of the soldiers in the city were recruited on a temporary basis, and the battle was completely full of blood.

"If you kill a soldier of the Xiliang Army, you will be rewarded with a hundred yuan, and if you kill three soldiers, you will be rewarded with a reward of a thousand yuan, and the official will be promoted to one level." Zhao Li threw out a chip that he thought was a big chip.

The fear in the eyes of the defenders in the city gradually became hot. Most of the soldiers were the poor people in the city. They turned to the army to relieve the pressure on their families. Suddenly, they were excited to hear such conditions. The people of the border county were fierce, not like the people of the Central Plains. For a hundred yuan, he We can do without sparing our lives.

Jia Rong looked carefully at the movement in the city. He had to say that Zhao Li's ability was good. It was unwise to gather the hearts of soldiers with money and shake such a strong city with more than 10,000 troops.

"Zilong, go and meet the fierce generals of Dunhuang and show the prestige of the Xiliang Army."

"No!" Zhao Yun held his fist on the horse and clicked all the hundred cavalrymen. He ran to the place of the city wall with an arrow. The long gun was slightly raised, and the hundred cavalrymen strangled the rein, and there was no confusion in the formation.

"I'm Zhao Zilong from Changshan. Someone in the Dunhuang Army dares to go out of the city to fight!" Zhao Yunyun was full of strength and shouted loudly.

The airy voice resounded through the head of Dunhuang City.

Zhao Li has always been a civil official. He didn't realize what it means for the cavalry who could stop eagerly while running and maintain a chaotic formation. He turned his eyes to the generals under his command. "Can anyone dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"Your Excellency, I'm willing to go!" Wu Yan was furious when he saw the Xiliang army shouting outside the city.

Zhao Li nodded and agreed that the battle can stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers to a certain extent. If he can win, the myth of the Xiliang army's invincibility will be sharply reduced in the hearts of the soldiers.

The gate of the city opened, and Wuyan led 200 soldiers out of the city to fight, holding a mace in his hand. He was a powerful general, bravely crowning the three armies, and a well-deserved first warrior of the Dunhuang Army.

"Little white face, take your life!" Regardless of the slightly confused formation of the soldiers behind him, I came with a horse, and more than 40 catties of mace was danced by him.

Zhao Yun's face kept changing. The long gun moved forward, his legs moved slightly, and the war horse met, hissed, and galloped towards Wuyan.

Jia Rong shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid that a fierce general in Dunhuang will become the soul of Zilong's gun."

Zhao Yun tried his best and stabbed Wuyan's throat when the two horses were intertling.

Wu Yan was shocked and hurriedly instigated the mace to return, "Ding", sparks burst, and several wolf teeth on the fangs were knocked down.

Feeling the slightly numb hands, Wu Yan roared and rode the horse around.

Zhao Yun, who was angry, was completely fierce and fatal, and did not give Wu Yan any chance.

After the five-in-one, Wu Yan's hands holding the mace couldn't help trembling gently. In the past, the mace like the arm became extremely heavy. He knew that he was already the end of the crossbow and was a powerful general. Unexpectedly, this little white face was also surprisingly strong.

With a loud shout, Wu Yan's heart trembled. Zhao Yun stabbed Wu Yan in the throat with a shot. "Poutong". Wu Yan fell from the war horse, stirring up layers of smoke, and the ownerless war horse hissed and ran far away.

Zhao Yun waved his gun, and the 100 cavalrymen who were ready to go killed 200 infantry in Dunhuang, defeating the scattered battle array of the infantry with the momentum of destroying the dead. The horse turned around. In less than a quarter of an hour, all 200 soldiers were lying outside the city, leaving blood stains on the ground.

Zhao Yun picked up the broken Zhao Zi flag with the tip of his gun and walked around in front of the city.

Zhao Li in the city looked at everything in front of him in shock, from the first warrior in the army to the destruction of the whole army. However, in half an hour, Wu Yan's bravery was loud throughout Dunhuang. Unexpectedly, the slightly white general killed him with only five-in-one and quietly put it away. The former contempt for the Xiliang Army.
