Chapter 329 The Battle of Fuchun (2)

In Fuchun City, headed by Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Ma Chao, Wen Chou and the 1 Yangzhou Army are already on high alert. Guo Jia also handed over the command of Fuchun to Jia Xu. At this time, Fuchun City Already full of the tension before the war.

Jia Xu sat at the top, looked at the people in the hall, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Brothers, the Lord has not returned from West Vietnam, so I will sit in Fuchun at this moment to defend against the enemy. Now I am ordered to be filial To join the army, Gong Jin will be the Chief History Officer, Ma Chao will be the General, and Wen Chou will be the Deputy General to fight against Dongyue."

Everyone nodded, clasped their fists and said, "Nuo, I would like to follow Master Jia's orders."

Early the next morning, as soon as Jia Xu boarded the tower, he saw Ling Tong galloping back from the south of Fuchun on horseback. What happened to the Dongyue people?"

Ling Tong replied: "Then, the Dongyue people... the Dongyue people started to cross the river..."

"Crossing the river? Didn't we take all the boats away? Without boats, how would they cross the river?" Jia Xu was taken aback and shouted immediately.

Ling Tong said: "Reporting to the military division, my subordinates saw that the large forests on the south bank disappeared. It should be the boat made by the Dongyue people themselves."

Jia Xu sighed, and said, "Negligence! My negligence! Send the order down quickly, and the whole city is on alert!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers in the city put on their weapons and armor, walked out of the barracks, and hurriedly gathered at the south gate.

Fuchun City is not big, with only two gates in the south and north. The whole city is only 500 meters long and 500 meters wide. Moreover, the city walls are dilapidated and the rammed earth is almost falling off.

Jia Xu asked Wen Chou and Wen Pin to guard the city with 5000 men, while he himself led Ma Chao and more than 1 soldiers to guard the south gate, because the south gate of Fuchun was facing the official road of Zheshui Wharf.

Zheshui was about 5000 miles away from Fuchun. Jia Xu estimated the time, tens of thousands of Dongyue people forcibly crossed Zheshui, and then assembled the team, at least it would take until noon.He only left [-] people at the north gate, and asked Li Tong to take the rest back to the camp to rest and conserve energy.

Jia Xu stood on the tower, looked at the road to the south, sighed, and said lightly: "If I have ten thousand cavalry, I will never let go of this excellent opportunity."

Hearing Jia Xu's sigh, Ma Chao immediately asked, "What opportunity?"

"There is a saying in the art of war that we should attack the enemy halfway, but it's a pity that I only have a thousand cavalry in my hand, and it's useless to go there." Jia Xu said regretfully.

Ma Chao said: "Master, my lord sent someone to make us stand firm and not to fight. Today is the third day, and my lord will definitely come with a large number of cavalry, so there will be time for us to show our strength."

In the afternoon of that day, the floating clouds covered the sky, one part was lighter and another part was thicker, and the sky was like a faded gray cloth with uneven color.The atmosphere is humid and cold. In the weather of March, the air is sometimes cold and sometimes warm. The changeable weather makes people in Fuchun City panic.Coupled with the tense atmosphere of the approaching war, everyone felt that there was a huge rock pressing on their chests, and they were almost breathless.

The black clouds piled up into a whole piece, like a thick piece of iron, gradually sinking to the ground, as if it had already covered the ridge of the roof, which had the charm of black clouds pressing down on the city and wanting to destroy it.

Jia Xu has been standing on the tower, watching every move of the south all the time, not daring to slack off at all.For him, this was the first time he commanded the army without Zhao Lei's presence, so he became particularly cautious.

Suddenly, a large number of Shanyue infantry flashed on the horizon. The official road and the fields on both sides of the official road were full of Shanyue infantry. A dense group of people came towards Fuchun City with a bulldozer-like attitude.

"Boom—" There was a dull loud noise.

On Fuchun City, the big bell in the Bell and Drum Tower was rang instantly, making an extremely shocking sound, which spread throughout Fuchun City.After three consecutive impacts, the people in Fuchun City hid at home one after another. The doors and windows were closed tightly, and they did not dare to show their heads. Passed in front of them.

All the soldiers in the city raised their hearts to their throats, except for those veterans of the Yangzhou Army who had experienced wars, the rest were new recruits participating in a real war for the first time.Jia Xu and Ma Chao stood on the tower. When Jia Xu saw tens of thousands of Shanyue infantry pushing towards him like a carpet, the sound of chaotic footsteps and horseshoes could be heard around his ears. It seems that they have never seen such a huge formation before, and they can't help but feel a little fear in their hearts.

"Military division, the Dongyue people are here. It looks like there are definitely more than 3 people!" Although Ma Chao was a young man, he often fought with these alien races when he was in Liangzhou. He had seen the 10,000+ Qiang army before him. The tens of thousands of Dongyue people showed no fear at all, but seemed a little excited.

Jia Xu nodded and said softly: "I didn't expect that so many Dongyue people gathered in just a few days. It seems that this time they want to go north to Yangzhou in a big way. We must stop them here, otherwise If not, Yangzhou will be affected unprecedentedly!"

Li Tong saw so many cavalry coming, he had never seen such a big scene, he already had a little fear, looked around, moved his lips, and said in a little panic: "Isn't my lord going to Xiyue?" Borrowing soldiers, why haven’t they come yet? If the lord doesn’t come, what should we do?”

And Wenpin on the side also echoed at the same time, Wenpin is big, but not necessarily courageous, he is not afraid of a water battle in the river, but he is a little bit lacking in confidence in a fight with the East Vietnamese cavalry in this field.However, he was better than Li Tong, at least he wasn't afraid of being like that, but he was frightened by the formation of the pure cavalry troops of the Dongyue people.Hearing Li Tong's words, he stretched out his long arms, wrapped Li Tong in his arms, and said calmly: "Shut up! My lord keeps his word, if he says he can arrive today, he will arrive today. "

Jia Xu and Ma Chao glanced back at Wenpin and Li Tong. The two of them smiled at each other. When they turned their heads, they seemed to understand something. They felt that Zhao Lei was deliberately letting these middle-level generals come to see the big scene.

The Dongyue people continued to move forward, and the cavalry of Shanyue began to emerge from the horizon behind, and there were a lot of them. The entire land of Fuchun became trembling under the running of these cavalry, as if Like an earthquake.

"Come on, Wen Chou from the city led the archers to the tower to prepare! Wenpin and Li Tong, go down the tower, and each bring a thousand shield soldiers to wait at the gate of the city, and obey orders!" Jia Xu saw that the Dongyue people were getting more and more Near, ordered immediately.

"promise!"

After finishing the order, Wen Pin and Li Tong went down from the city tower, and each took a thousand shield soldiers to block the gate of the city, while the rest of the soldiers were scattered on both sides of the road, ready at all times.

It was getting closer and closer, and the Dongyue people were moving forward at a constant speed. Every time they ran forward, they would create an invisible pressure on the people in Fuchun City.

After a while, the front of the Dongyue people suddenly stopped advancing and stopped at a distance of 600 meters from Fuchun City, while the cavalry on both wings detoured from both sides of the city.

"Oops, it seems that the Dongyue people want to surround us all inside and attack at the two gates at the same time." Jia Xu's brows suddenly frowned, and he turned to Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, go quickly For the north gate, bring another 5000 people to support Liao Hua and Zhou Cang who are guarding the north gate at the moment. The south gate is under your command. You are only allowed to stick to it, and you are not allowed to fight. Remember, you are not allowed to violate my order."

Ma Chao nodded immediately, quickly ran down the tower, and ran towards the south gate with five thousand soldiers.

Jia Xu looked at the Dongyue people in front of him, but saw that all the cavalry were wearing thin leather armor, holding a bow in their hands, and a machete hanging from their waists. Everyone's hair was only a few inches long. What's more, most of the hair is shaved, leaving only a long piece in the middle.

"These Dongyue people are very different from other foreign races. Although they can also shoot arrows, they like to charge forward with their sabers. But these Dongyue people all carry bows and arrows, and they are dominated by bows and arrows. It seems that it will be settled soon. There was a rain of arrows covering the sky, just like the Karasuma cavalry in Beiping at that time." Jia Xu thought silently after looking at these East Yue people.

"Issue the order to let all the soldiers under the tower retreat to the corridors on both sides of the road, try not to show their faces, and the rest of the people are blocked in the doorway!" Jia Xu turned around and shouted to a follower behind him.

"promise!"

The Dongyue people did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. The cavalry on both wings were still gradually heading towards the north gate, as if they wanted to wait for the troops at the north gate to gather and launch a fierce attack at the same time.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Shanyue people have appeared. The Dongyue people living in today's Fujian Province will hold up the Shanyue flag from time to time, and gather together with a roar, and suddenly appear in the southern border of Yangzhou like a strong wind.They trampled crops, looted cities, burned houses and killed local residents.After the massive looting, they often kidnapped tens of thousands of Han Chinese as slaves.Often before the arrival of the Han army, the Dongyue people disappeared into the endless ravines and swamps like ghosts and ghosts.This kind of situation is not a day or two, not a year or two, nor ten years or 20 years, but as long as the entire Han Dynasty.

Seeing these East Vietnamese people, Jia Xu felt a feeling that he had never felt before. This was no longer a simple war, but a fight between nations. The East Vietnamese wanted to conquer the Han people, and the Han people also If you want to conquer the East Vietnamese, you will come and go between conquering and being conquered.

Suddenly, among the East Vietnamese crowd, a fine horse drove out first, and the knight on the horse galloped forward for a while, and shouted loudly: "Now my mountain is overrun by soldiers, people in Fuchun City, listen to me, if you put down your guns, Weapons, come out and surrender, we can spare you from death. If you insist on resisting, there is only one dead end!"

"Hmph, Shanyue people actually use this kind of trick to deceive people." Jia Xu muttered to himself on the tower.

Seeing that there was no response from the tower, the Dongyue man who came to persuade him to surrender immediately galloped back into the crowd. After a short while, outside Fuchun City, the sound of sobbing horns came from all directions, and crowds of Dongyue people Some rode their horses and galloped out, while others drew their bows directly and shot the arrows in their hands outward.
