"I haven't encountered an enemy for several days. In this case, either I am afraid of my great Jin Tianshang, or these Qiang and Hu are retreating, preparing to teach us a lesson somewhere. General Zhou Chu, which one do you think it is?" Sima Xu, King Fanyang, looked at Zhou Chu and asked for his opinion.

After the return of the Southern Expedition, many people were promoted and named marquis were not dared to say that the entire imperial guards were attracted by it, but they also formed a group worthy of winning. After all, after being tested by the war, they are always more trustworthy than soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.

"King Fan Yang, of course, I am looking forward to the first possibility, but I need to prepare for the second possibility." Zhou Chu faced Sima Sue directly and said, "This front is thousands of miles away, and it is of course the best to succeed in one battle. However, Hetao has been missing for ninety years. We should expect the enemy to be strict. King Fan Yang has been leading the troops for a long time, and I believe that there is a conviction in my heart."

As long as the place is large enough, the grassland is not less difficult than the dense forest to find the enemy. The Hetao area is vast and larger than the newly established state area. In this case, it is conceivable that it is difficult to find the enemy with one strike. You can only make the worst plans, step by step, squeeze the enemy's space bit by bit until the battle is successful.

So Luoyang's preparations were quite successful this time, and everything was ready, so the army cast a net, and as long as they fight steadily, there should be no problems.

There is no need to talk about the Luoyang Imperial Army. The Guanzhong Army belongs to the Qin King Sima Jian and is one of the best military towns in the world. The combat power is not a problem. There is also the Hejian King guarding Yecheng behind him, and Luoyang, whose subordinates are in the world, and he will never want to fail.

When entering the Hetao area, there was still no internal response. In fact, it was very simple. When they learned that the imperial guards were going to capture Hetao, the first thing that the former Wei remnants thought of was of course building a village to protect themselves. Who knew whether these Qiang and Hu would kill chickens to warn the monkeys? They could not defeat the Luoyang army to pick up a soft persimmon to make trouble? They built a village to protect themselves and waited for the Jin army, and they were also restraining the enemy.

Cao Cao abandoned eight counties and contracted across the board. The people of the Central Plains who dared to stay were naturally not good at straits. To put it bluntly, they were just Hu people who spoke Central Plains. They could do what Qiang and Hu could do. Qiang and Hu grazed and farmed, and they also grazed and farmed, and they were all in an environment, and the difference was no longer so big.

The Jin army was preparing to fight, but it was only occasionally heard of it, but it had not been pointed out by the Central Plains Bing Peak for 90 years. At first, most tribes did not believe it. The Sima family did not come when they seized power, and Sima Yan did not come after unifying the world. Now a woman in the country is in power, but she ended up fighting?

Taking history as a mirror, from the history before the Jin Dynasty, Qiang and Hu could only find Lu Zhi similar to Jia Nanfeng, but Empress Lu took the evasion attitude towards the Huns at that time, so no one took this news seriously. But they didn't think about it. At that time, the Huns were powerful people who ruled north of the Great Wall and subdued the Western Regions. They occupied a Hetao and divided it into many tribes. In the eyes of the Jin Dynasty, they were just obsessed with my sons being the best in the world and didn't care about it.

The Qiang and Hu mixed things, this mixed things actually include the people of the Central Plains, but now it may be matched by the inside and outside, so it cannot be included. If there is a choice, the people of the Central Plains in Hetao will definitely not want to affect themselves, but the court in Luoyang will not listen to them, just like the eight counties that were abolished, and they had never solicited the opinions of these people.

There is only one choice before them. They will build a village to protect themselves and welcome the king's army. Then they will cry bitterly, show their sincere desire to serve the country, and rob the land of these Hu people and make up for their own losses.

The people of the Central Plains who had known the news did not react slowly under the guidance of the military commander, and directly used the city left behind. Although it had long been dilapidated and seriously damaged, they could also use it to protect themselves and wait for the Jin army to come.

The conflict has actually broken out long ago. Fortunately, this is a place where ethnic groups live together, and it does not simply divide the people of the Central Plains and the Hu people. The Hu people also belong to different tribes and are not in the same mind as each other.

The Guanzhong Army was the first to encounter a big battle. If Sima Xu knew about it, he would definitely be depressed. He brought the Luoyang Imperial Army and the generals of the Southern Expedition to the army, but he was not the main force. It was simply outrageous.

"It's really a bit more to know. The Hu people guarding the city, and we actually attacked the city?" In the Guanzhong Army camp, as the main general of the Guanzhong Army, the beloved general of the Qin King Sima Jian, Du Jian didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he saw this scene.

Hetao can both farm and grazing. The people in the Central Plains who stayed here are similar to those in the Hu people. The Hu people are no longer as different as the Hu people. The city where the Hu people are now located is a county town under Shuofang County, which is still a distance from the main city of Shuofang County.

However, this city is not very solid in view of Du Jian. Can a county town be strong enough here? It is not the few important places that have been spent on a lot of energy at the beginning. The city walls have been damaged a lot, so I guess the Qiang and Hu didn't have much effort to maintain them.

"To form a formation, the three-way drum will be siege the city, and it must be taken down in one hour." After watching the city for a long time, Du Jian gave a cold order. Then the Guanzhong army slowly divided into several large square formations, with swords and guns standing in a row, and bright armor, and flags rolled up in the wind. The front row of shields walked in front with shields in hand, and behind were ten rows of spearmen holding long spears, followed by murderous intent, with strong crossbows on their backs, long and short scimitars on their waists, and light armored infantry. They were lined up into two square formations, surrounded by long swords in leather armor. Behind them was the front chariot camp, and they followed behind with hundreds of simple equipment for siege. Finally, it was the original formation. The Guanzhong cavalry rode their horses slowly on both wings, covering the square formation.

Fortunately, Du Jian accidentally thought of this before coming, and brought some simple siege equipment. Otherwise, this place was a place where he could find materials to make equipment to siege?

The 20,000 army slowly moved forward, and the dust raised on its feet seemed to be solemn and killed. Du Jian also led 10,000 troops to take charge of the central army. After all, this place has not been set foot in ninety years. The water depth and shallow water must be tried. If a Qiang and Hu cavalry touched it without anyone noticing, Du Jian would be sorry for the King of Qin who sent him out.

Between their respective military formations, they roamed the horses, passing the nearest military flag orders, and keeping the military formation intact. With this effort, the military formation remained intact and slowly moving forward. Under Du Jian's order, he perfectly showed the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Army.

In the end, the military formation stopped at an unexpected 300 meters of the city wall, raised a piece of smoke and dust, and enveloped the city along the wind. This distance was beyond the range of human bows and arrows. Du Jian thought it would be good for the Hu people to defend the city, and could also create equipment for defending the city? The Hu people in the mainland might, but the Hu people here were just thinking too much.

The soldiers in the military formation were solemn, adjusting their breathing so that they could be in the best state. Dongdongdongdong... The fierce and high-spirited war drum suddenly sounded, and the drum sounded louder and faster. When the soldiers heard it, they seemed to be in a wonderful rhythm, and the blood in their bodies was boiling with the rhythm of the drum beats.

Many soldiers had dry mouths, their tongues stretched out from their mouths, licked their shriveled lips, and their eyes stared at the small town in front of them like swords. They were not the only ones who were immersed in the sound of war drums, but they were like Qiang and Hu on the top of the city, but their impression was completely different. Below was the formation of tens of thousands of troops, and the sound of war drums came from afar, and pressure appeared on everyone, and even the palms of the palms holding swords and guns were sweating.

Dong... The last drum sound came, and the army started instantly. Holding a long shield sword in hand, it started instantly from standing still, like a tiger down the mountain, rushing towards the small city with surging dust.

"Kill..." This charge, like a storm, spanned a distance of 300 meters in less than a minute. You should know that when a normal person is light, he only has this speed, not to mention that these Jin dynasty soldiers are considering armor.

Only the archers were still maintaining their original speed and slowly moving forward, and calmly entering the right distance behind the army. Sergeants at all levels shouted back and forth, "Photography at an elevation!"

Thousands of archers bent their bows and arrows, pulling the bowstrings in the air, and in an instant, thousands of sharp arrows were shot into the city. When the people who face this concentrated shooting saw it, it seemed that they were not facing a bow and arrow, but pushing it over like a wall, and they felt like they could not hide.

Slowly... The Qiang Hu soldiers who dared not show their heads quickly hid behind the battlements, but many people were still shot and screamed, and more of them were sounds similar to shoveling soil with shovels. Many bows and arrows were inserted into the battlements, and the splashed soil and rocks collapsed on people, and they could feel pain.

Soon another round of bows and arrows came, telling the Qiang and Hu soldiers who were watching what regrets mean. After several rounds of bows and arrows, a ladder appeared on the battlements. The Jin soldiers under the city had used this time to set up the ladder. In the direction of the city gate, a huge siege wood hit the city gate, making the disrepaired city gate a little overwhelmed and made a harsh sound.

For this city, the city gate can still play a role after years of repair and repair, and it is worthy of its responsibilities. Oh, I forgot that the city gate was also built by the Central Plains dynasty.

The speed was faster than people imagined, either in disrepair or in the sight of the old master to welcome the king's army, the city gate soon collapsed. Even the commander-in-chief Du Jian, who was in charge of the central army, looked surprised. He did not expect it would be so smooth.

"Is this a fraud?" But as tens of thousands of soldiers rushed into the city, Du Jian suddenly came to his senses and secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Tens of thousands of people rushed in, so what else could there be fraud?
