Chapter 266 Lintun County
The final battle is not so much a victory, but rather a turn of defeat into victory. There are several dangerous passes in Silla, and this time the ambush is imminent. On both sides of the mountain is a small stone-chiseled path. The path is very steep and ropes are surrounding the road. There is a relatively flat road on the top of the mountain. There is a cliff on one side and a deep valley on the other side, which is very dangerous.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the Silla soldiers headed towards the opposite mountain road to the bottom of the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain was a deep valley, and a small river flowed through the turbulent river. There were several deep valleys on both sides of the road. So the Silla people divided the remaining last troops into two groups, hiding in two valleys not far apart, quietly waiting for the arrival of the cavalry pursued by the Jin army.
On the top of the mountain, the Silla people were also ready. More than 200 soldiers hid next to the cliff on the top of the mountain or on the path behind the top of the mountain, and prepared piles of huge rocks and trunks at the top of the mountain to give the Jin cavalry a fatal blow. In the afternoon of dusk, a team of chasing Jin cavalry appeared here in a long line. Under the leadership of a general, they slowly entered the valley.
At this time, the Jin cavalry suddenly stopped moving and looked around the river valley for a long time. Then, three cavalrymen were sent to explore the road and walked forward. After the three cavalrymen walked to the intersection on the edge of the mountain, the other cavalry began to follow quickly.
At this moment, a horn sounded a sudden sound, and then the huge rocks and tree trunks fell down the steep slope from the top of the mountain. Immediately, the people and horses walking in the front were smashed to the ground or fell into the river valley on the side of the road. Seeing this, the Jin army retreated in panic and rushed to escape. However, the Silla soldiers on the top of the mountain chased them while continuing to throw the huge rocks and tree trunks towards them.
Under the fierce attack of the Silla soldiers on the mountain, more than half of the Jin cavalry, who were killed or injured, finally retreated outside the valley.
This was something that all the Jin army who were pursuing the two of them did not expect. It was as if they were going to succeed in drilling wood to make fire, but they were wiped out by the people next to them. Now the entire Three Han land was captured and they were slapped in the face of victory. Who can accept it calmly?
"This is the last pass, and the entire Silla has been all over my Grand Jin. I don't believe that there are many Silla soldiers here, and there are definitely no more than one thousand." Li Shan happened to be in the quest for cavalry, but he was leading the large army too much, not the small team that had just entered the valley.
I could go back and report after a regular settlement, but I didn't expect to kick the iron plate. How could I bear it? In fact, Li Shan knew in his heart that even if Silla's escaped the net was ignored, at most, it would be a bandit who fell into a bandit in the future. It would be impossible to expect them to restore Silla. However, King Yan hated bandits very much, and he didn't like these people, so he must eradicate them.
Just now, Li Shan carefully sent a team of cavalry into the valley, but judging from the huge rock trunks falling on both sides of the valley, there should be not many ambushers inside, and whether there are a thousand people is a problem. Stopped in front of the valley for a moment, Li Shan made a decision, and the cavalry dismounted and fought in the field and touched them from the other side of the valley.
"General, Your Highness said that he cannot enter the valley to fight, wait for the infantry to come." As soon as Li Shan's order came out, he was opposed. Li Shan was very familiar with the opposition and was also the guard of the Yan Prince's Mansion. He was recruited into the Yan Prince's Mansion at the same time. The relationship between these people was extraordinary. When they saw that they were acquaintances, Li Shan would calm down.
Sima Ji can use cavalry to raid the city, which does not mean that he also lets the cavalry dismount to attack the valley. This is not the same thing. If the cavalry of the Jin army caused too much loss in impulse, he would be the one who would not be able to take care of it at that time.
Li Shan, who was not above, endured this breath, but instead set up a horse to find out the movements around him. Before the Jin army infantry arrived, don’t let the Silla army in the valley run away. This is the main business.
A day later, more than 5,000 Jin army infantry gathered in front of this valley, which was not particularly large. When these infantry entered the valley carefully, the attack the day before did not happen again. Obviously, Li Shan's judgment was not wrong. There were not many soldiers from the Silla army inside, and it was already the last seed of the entire Silla.
This seed will eventually be pinched off. The Sillas are obviously not ready to surrender and resist desperately in the last valley belonging to the Sillas. The Sillas are familiar with the terrain, but the Jin army is well equipped. They start playing hide-and-seek in the deep forests in the valley. There are not many people dead but it takes a lot of time. It will be considered that the battle will end two days later.
"Li Shan has already returned and wiped out the last Silla army and beheaded 800 people." Sima Ji looked at the military newspaper he brought back with all eyes. At this time, he was relieved. Recently, he had been searching for the Silla nobles' missed fish, but he did not pay much attention to the extermination of the Silla remnants, because there were more important things to do.
The land of the Three Hans has now been fully handed over to the Great Jin Dynasty, and new counties must be established. Just like destroying Linyi and gathering old land after the Southern Expedition, it is completely different from destroying Goguryeo. It is inevitable to establish new counties in the Three Hans. Although the imperial edict in Luoyang has not been issued and the population in the mainland has not yet migrated, Sima Ji knew about the matter sooner or later, and Jia Nanfeng, a woman, was actually keeping her word.
"I believe the court has begun to discuss the name of the county. What is the name of the Dongyi School Captain? Otherwise, it is called Sanhan County!" Sima Ji was really unfamiliar and knew nothing about such things. He could only ask the Dongyi School Captain He Long, who is of the same low level.
But as soon as He Long spoke, he made Sima Ji understand that he, the Dongyi lieutenant, was indeed not of high level. He was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "It seems inappropriate to establish a new county under the name of the old land of the Three Han Dynasties. You can indeed use the names of the pre-Han period. Most of the officials of this old term know about it. Why not just call it Lintun County?"
Originally, Sima Ji, what He Long said before, also felt that it made sense, but when he heard these words, it turned out that he was just a name taken out from the four Han counties of the Han Dynasty, and his level was not much higher.
