Chapter 259 Breakthrough 5

Seeing that tens of thousands of Jin troops were driven into Tiemen Pass by themselves, Shi Le showed a satisfied smile and ordered: "Kuian, take people to cut off the water source of Tiemen Pass. At the latest, I will see that Jin people are thirsty and can't stand firm even if they are thirsty!"

Kui An smiled: "General, the last general took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin people's panic and crying, and had occupied the corridor where Tiemen Pass left the city to get water. Now the only water source of the Jin army is probably the wells in the city."

Kong Chang also laughed: "I just don't know if the water in the wells in Tiemen Pass is enough for tens of thousands of troops to drink? Don't kill more people to fight for drinking water at that time than we do!"

Shi Le said fiercely: "They are so thirsty!"

The generals laughed loudly, and the laughter spread far away, like an owl roaring at night, like a demon hunching, making people's hair stand up and their hands and feet feel cold!

The one who guarded Xin'an was Sima Fan, the son of Sima Wei, the King of Chu. In the first year of Yuankang, Sima Wei was appointed as a knife envoy by Jia Nanfeng and raised an army to kill Wei Guan and Sima Liang. He was executed by Jia Nanfeng on the charge of rebellion, and the title of the King of Chu was also cut off. It was not until ten years later that Jia Nanfeng was defeated by Sima Lun. Sima Wei, who was defeated by her, was rehabilitated and was posthumously awarded the title of General of Cavalry. His son Sima Fan was also named King of Xiangyang. This young prince is one of the few young generations of the Sima family and has a bit of heroism. Not to mention his ability, at least he dares to take on the trouble. He will not panic when the danger comes, but will try to keep himself calm. With these points alone, he surpassed most princes.

Due to various reasons, he has been following Sima Yue and has been appreciated by Sima Yue. He has a very high status in the group of Sima Yue. This can be seen from the fact that when Sima Yue was in the death of the army, when everyone elected him to be the general. Although Sima Yue won the battle step by step, he always felt uneasy, so he specially assigned 4,000 troops to Sima Fan to guard Xin'an and protect his retreat. Once Luoyang changes, he can react as soon as possible. During this period, Sima Fan has been working hard to strengthen Xin'an's city defense, and at the same time organized some civilians to repair the Tiemen Pass. However, the time was too short and before he could make any achievements, the bad news of Gou Xi leading his troops into Luoyang came. Then, Sima Yue retreated with tens of thousands of troops...

Seeing Hu people coming out all over the mountains and fields, killing sounds shook the sky, Sima Fan was extremely shocked and quickly dispatched 800 cavalry to support him. As a result, the cavalry was intercepted by Taobao as soon as they left the city. After a melee, they failed to approach Tiemen Pass, but more than half of the Hu people were killed and injured. The Jin army was frightened and retreated into Xin'an, closing the city gates tightly and dared not show up again.

Sima Fan was confused and asked his chief clerk Jia You: "Hu Qi came from the wilderness, and the Taiwei was besieged at Tiemen Pass, isolated and helpless, and the great king of the Duke of Dongping County was getting closer and closer to Luoyang. What should I do?"

Jia You said: "The most urgent task is to organize a team of death-death men to break out overnight and ask for help from Luoyang. If you are too late, I am afraid that even the road from Xin'an to Luoyang will be isolated. At that time, our army will be in a state of no return!"

Sima Fan smiled bitterly: "The Grand Marshal has already dig all the troops he can draw when he goes to the expedition. Even if the dead soldiers can successfully break out of the siege and run to Luoyang, they are afraid they will not be able to find reinforcements!"

At this time, Luoyang still has 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and the imperial guards alone still have 20,000 or 30,000. But the problem is that only the 20,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 30,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 people are the limit he can draw. If he draws, the imperial guards will not be able to control Luoyang. At this time, Gou Xi was running towards Luoyang. How dare the imperial guards go out of the city to support? Are you not afraid of being stolen?

Once Gou Xi successfully steals his family, Luoyang City will change its master. It is still unknown what the outcome of Sima Yue and Wang Yan will be, but the imperial guards will definitely face another round of cruel purge. This has been the case for the past ten years. Every time Luoyang City changes its ownership, the imperial guards will inevitably be cleaned. Without exception, the imperial guards are completely afraid. Even if they are just for their own wealth and life, they have to nail them to Luoyang City and run to Luoyang for help. They really may not be able to ask for reinforcements!

Jia You said: "The imperial guards in Luoyang City are probably hopeless, but we can ask for help from the Liangzhou Army!"

Sima Fan was stunned: "Liangzhou Army? They have only a few people, and they still have to defend Xincheng and Yiyang. Can they draw troops to support us?"

Jia You said: "There is no enemy situation in Xincheng and Yiyang. If there are too many, I dare not say that one or two thousand people will definitely be drawn! This is in Xincheng, where the three battles and three victories of Yiyang, and beheading more than 30,000 brigades, even if only one or two thousand people are dispatched, it can greatly boost morale. At that time, our army will come out of the city and meet the Liangzhou army and launch an attack on the Hu people. The army in the Tiemen Pass will come out again, and attack on both sides. The Hu will definitely be defeated!"

Jia You is a side branch of the Jia family. His father and Jia Chong are cousins, and they have a long blood relationship. Sima Lun successfully killed Jia Nanfeng and Yi Jia family, but they did not kill them. However, due to this blow, the Jia family, which once had power in the court and the opposition, was basically done. As one of their promising branches, Jia You was naturally unwilling to sink into the trap. He tried every means to get on the line of Sima Fan and became Sima Fan's aide.

I have to say that the generals have the same kind of soldiers, and the masters have the same kind of aides. Sima Fan dared to take on the matter and was calm in the face of things. As his confidant aide, Jia You was the same. With the Hu cavalry flying back and forth outside Xin'an City and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, he could still respond calmly and quickly gave suggestions that were not low. He immediately grasped the key to the matter: the total number of Jin army surrounded by Tiemen Pass was as high as 60,000 to 70,000, and followed Hu

Judging from the people's momentum, there are actually not many troops surrounding them. The current Jin army is not that it does not have the ability to fight with the Hu people, but that it is too chaotic. No one has stood up to organize everyone to fight, and there is not a sufficient force to stand up and lead them to launch a counterattack. The most urgent task is not to bring in many reinforcements, but to find a general who can make the Jin army feel at ease, find a strong brigade that can make the Hu people afraid, and to rekindle everyone's morale!

As long as these tens of thousands of troops recover and regroup and launch a counterattack, they dare not say that they will turn defeat into victory, at least it will be no problem to break through the siege and return to Luoyang. Beigong Jing, who had just let the Hu people suffer a big defeat in Yiyang not long ago, and the Liangzhou army under his command, are undoubtedly the best choice. If you don’t ask them for help, who will you look for?

Jia You didn't look like Jia Chong, the cousin who led the Jia family to the peak of power. Instead, he was like the one who started as a small county magistrate a hundred years ago in troubled times. With his outstanding military and political talents, he became the pillar of the empire step by step. Even Cao Cao praised Jia Kui, who said, "If officials of more than 2,000 stones in the world can be like him, what else can I worry about?" The Jia family was also at the peak of power. Although they were fatal after Jia Nanfeng fell, they were not dead yet. On the contrary, as a large number of ignorant guys were killed, some children who were genuine but could not stand out because they were distant relatives of the family became the targets of the family's focus and began to emerge.

Sima Fan fully adopted his suggestion, paid a lot of money from the entire army to recruit hundreds of death-death men, and gave them a heavy reward. He also selected the hundred best horses from the army to give them a meal, and encouraged them. Finally, he bowed deeply to these death-death men and said, "If you can ask for reinforcements, no matter what the battle is won or lost, I will not treat you badly. The living will give you ten hectares of land, and the dead will give you thirty hectares of land, and a living temple will be established in the local fiefdom. The King of Xiangyang is in constant force and incense will continue! Taiwei, the king, the generals of the Iron Sect and the 70,000 troops will be the lives of you!"

He wanted to give land and build a temple. In addition to the wealth he gave before, such rewards were amazing. The hundred death-stricken men were all red in their eyes. After a silent salute to Sima Fan, they set off on their horses. The troops were divided into two groups, and suddenly rushed out of the east gate, almost desperately rushing towards the Hu army surrounding Xin'an City.

The Jiehu cavalry had just killed nearly half of the Jin army who tried to leave the city to support Tiemen Pass, blocking them back to Xin'an City without hesitation. They were celebrating victory proudly. They never dreamed that the Xin'an defenders who had just suffered a big defeat would kill again so quickly, and they were in a hurry for a moment. Seeing that there were not many Jin soldiers on this road, but they were extremely brave, they rushed towards Luoyang and realized that they were preparing to return to Luoyang for help.

He mobilized the elite cavalry to intercept and surrounded these dozens of death-killing men. However, at this moment, dozens of cavalry killed from Ximen, and Kui An caught off guard. In order to block the group of death-killing men who broke into Luoyang, he transferred a lot of people from Ximen, causing loopholes in the encirclement. It was too late to remedy them. These dozens of people rushed all the way, breaking through his encirclement and disappearing into the vast mountains.

When Shi Le arrived, the battle was over. About twenty or thirty people from the Jin army died from the encirclement, and the rest died under the swords and bows of the Jiehu cavalry. Some of these Jin soldiers were shot like sea urchins; some had more than ten javelins in their bodies, and they remained in a position of fighting with the Jiehu cavalry until they died; some were nailed to the ground with spears, and his spear also pierced the neck of the horse, piercing the Jiehu cavalry and the horses that stabbed him into a string... The tragic scene made Shi Le gasp, and after a while, a sentence came out: "There are so many loyal and brave people in Jin, so that they should not be humiliated!"
