The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 145: Confrontation across the river
? The rebellion of the entire Southwest Army was a big blow to Zhong Yu. His imperial kingdom's southeast direction will become without the slightest defense, and they will directly allow them to enter the land of no one, freely attacking the entire imperial kingdom's city site.
Following Sun Jian's rebellion, the entire southwestern region that Yuguo had previously won was instantly taken over by Sun Jian, and his soldiers approached the Luoyang City headquarters.
At this moment in Luoyang, there are only Tian Feng Zhang Liao and others. The five thousand cavalry that they brought back hold fast, and a group of recruits around Luoyang City, totaling more than five thousand people, are integrated with the cavalry into an army of 10,000.
We are stationed together in a new city thirty miles west of Luoyang City, with a population of 3,000 and a city wall of Pingyin with a height of ten meters.
The city of Pingyin is built on the hillside, right at the foot of the mountain, and to the north is a mountain as high as a kilometer. The mountains around the peak stretch for dozens of miles, and there are clusters of small mountain peaks hundreds of meters high. .
It is said that there are monsters living in the mountains, miasma is everywhere, poisonous insects and snakes lurking everywhere, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, it is a land off the beaten track!
With such dangers, the northern part of Pingyin City is completely a natural danger, which the army cannot surpass, so it can be said that there is no worries about it.
And to the west of Pingyin City is a river, winding for dozens of miles, irrigating the surrounding plains for hundreds of miles, and the water and soil are lush, all thanks to the river's work.
The river is several miles wide, and ordinary people cannot cross the river without a big boat. They only need to send troops to garrison at the dangerous beach, and shoot them at the beach with crossbowmen. Sun Jian’s army is absolutely difficult to cross the river. Can't get on the shore!
Therefore, the strategy implemented by Tian Feng and others is to stand by for help based on this, waiting for the news to reach their emperor, and then the emperor will send a large army back to help, and then slowly clean up Sun Jian. This traitor!
Now, they have recruited five thousand new recruits, and another five thousand brave and well-fighting horsemen. It should be no problem to defend him for a month or two. This period of time is enough for the Emperor to get news and send troops back in time. NS!
As for if you really can't keep it, you can still withdraw to Pingyin City, and Pingyin City's current 10-meter-high city wall has been continuously strengthened after sticking to it for two months.
Building countless defensive facilities, with his thousands of armies, there is no shortage of bows, crossbows and arrows, and they are still confident of guarding him for a month or two.
In this way, it can delay Sun Jian's army for more than three months, and Tian Feng, Zhang Liao and others are still full of confidence.
After all, all of them are famous heroes of the Three Kingdoms for a while, and they are all talents. It can be said that they have stirred up countless storms and changed the destiny of history!
After Sun Jian's rebellion, the army raided all the way. Originally, they gathered barbarians in the southwest region and built more than a dozen cities to rule the area.
At this moment, the flag of the Great King is changing all over the city, and the flags are changed. Sun Jian’s military flag with the word “Great Sun” is hung up, which completely announces that Zhong Yu is in this southwest direction and has just established less than a month’s rule. !
After that, Sun Jian's army left one to two thousand people to guard the city, maintain the most basic security, and suppress the dissatisfaction of those tribes and those who have just surrendered.
After that, I was relieved to continue the march with the army, and prepared to take advantage of the situation that Tian Feng and others were not yet ready, as far as possible to raid the fertile hells around Luoyang, which had already undergone preliminary development.
Why is Sun Jian so relieved! That's because the entire southwestern region where he ruled originally had a population of 30,000.
Before, he had captured his eight thousand people as cannon fodder, all of them died in the siege battle against the Vorge tribe, and none of them came back alive.
After that, Sun Jian took advantage of this news before it reached the tribes behind him, and immediately took the tribes and the remaining strong men immediately.
The barbarians who used to maintain the most basic livelihoods and kept them as guards, the last three thousand young men, all were forcibly conscripted into the army, captured in the barracks and used as the front cannon fodder!
I intend to add the last essence of these barbarians, which can also be said to be the last male bloodline of the barbarians, all of which were consumed in the war with Tian Feng and others.
Then the remaining barbarians, women, children and children can safely send their men and women to receive them as a reward for their bravery and vigorous warfare!
Such an extremely profitable thing has won a batch of cannon fodder from the war, and some girls and children as slaves, turned into military supplies for his army, rewarding those soldiers who have worked hard, how can Sun Jian not dislike it, how can he not Do it!
In this way, Sun Jian only left a thousand or two as guardians of the slaves, who were used to suppress a group of weak women who did not have any men, even though they were weak compared to the barbarians.
But in the tribe, all the men over one meter tall were divided into a handful of wood as a weapon, and Sun Jian was used as cannon fodder. Under this extremely cruel reality, these women can create What storm?
I can only obediently obey the fate, and set off to Luoyang City along the way, and on the way he captured several Luoyang City's original cities.
But now there is not the slightest amount of people in the city, and Tian Feng and others have been dismissed or taken to the rear. In short, it is impossible to stay with Sun Jian to carry out the tactics of human sea cannon fodder.
If you really can’t take it away, the ruthless Tian Feng and others directly ordered the killing. In short, Sun Jian and others will not be left. The heavy materials are burned out, and nothing is left. .
It was to cause logistical pressure on Sun Jian. His rations were originally provided by Luoyang City, but now he rebelled, and he and others cut off the food path from Luoyang to Sun Jian's army.
Sun Jian’s army rations in the army at the moment, based on Tian Feng and others’ experience in his army, can only support him for less than 20 days~ IndoMTL.com~ At this moment, they have consumed some along the way, and it is not estimated. Ten days of rations!
Furthermore, Sun Jian's army's all-purpose supplies and siege equipment are now mostly worn out under the former Voge City, especially the extremely important crossbows, which are the most deterrent long-range weapons in the cold weapon era.
Although there are not many damages, his arrows do not have much inventory, and a crossbow without arrows can be used to hit people. It is not as good as a stone, so how can it be used? Serve as a killer weapon!
When Sun Jian’s army came to the opposite bank of the river opposite Pingyin City, at this moment Tian Feng and others had built a dense defensive line on their own bank, with various defensive measures standing on it to keep the enemy army. Able to smash the halberd and sink into the sand here, and endure all the hardships!
No, Sun Jian frowned as he looked at the defense measures on the opposite side, and his entire face was crying like a bitter gourd. He didn't know what to do!
Only able to shoot one or two persuasive messengers, came to the other side of the river, and wanted to persuade them to surrender obediently, so as to abandon the secret, and return to their command again.
However, Tian Feng and others, who had been prepared, were directly beheaded in the middle of the river. Before the messenger crossed the river and reached the bank, he was sent directly to see the gods and Buddhas.
This kind of resolute not only made Sun Jian and others angry, but also reminded the soldiers under Tian Feng, Zhang Liao and others that there was no way out at this moment. Only a decisive battle can they find a chance!
Before the war, I told the soldiers that their wives and children are still in the hands of His Majesty. If they rebel now, even if they can win, their wives and children will have no physiology, and they will completely cut off the rest of their hearts. thought!
