Banners were hunting and soldiers were heavily armored. Even if the Yi people were not good at fighting formations, tens of thousands of people were divided into six squares outside the camp. The murderous intent soaring into the sky made Yang Qing inside the camp frown.
He did not expect Gao Ding to act so decisively. This man only led his troops to the Anshang border yesterday, and this morning he led his troops straight to the Dingjiacun camp.
The Yi soldiers set up camp ten miles away from the camp to the west. After a short rest, Gaoding gathered the army in the afternoon and went to fight outside the camp.
Since the last design defeated Gao Zhong, Liu Yin gathered manpower to repair the antlers outside the camp. Although time was urgent, there were still five layers of antlers outside the camp, which was enough to make it difficult for the enemy to approach.
Gao Ding didn't want to launch a rash attack and let his sons use their lives to destroy the five-layer antlers. He still wanted to lure the Han army out of the camp and fight the Han people in the fields outside the camp, so that he could defeat these soldiers at a relatively small cost. The main force of the Qianhan Army.
What's more, Yang Qing's son is here. This is really a God-given opportunity. Once he eats this Han army and captures Yang Qing's son, An Shang will have no power to resist him, and his desire to take the entire Yueqi County into his pocket will also be fulfilled. accomplish.
Now Gao Ding was a little happy that the Han army did not rely on the city to resist him but gathered the army in Dingjiacun. As for the reason why the Han people did this, he knew that it was just to stop him at all levels. It was best to stop him in Dingjiacun. So as not to threaten An Shangcheng.
Yang Qing'er was very calculating, but he didn't expect that why would he forcefully attack Anshang City? Wouldn't it be better to just surround the Dingjia Village camp and attack? After all, no matter how strong the Dingjia Village camp is, it can't compare to a city.
Gao Ding rode on his horse and stood in front of the formation. He thought about the stakes again and became more determined to break the camp here first.
"Huo Yuan." Gao Dingzhi shouted from behind.
When Huo Yuan heard the call, he quickly mounted his horse and responded: "Your Majesty."
"Select a group of young men who are proficient in Chinese and come forward to yell at them. I will provoke Yang Qing to come out."
"yes."
Soon hundreds of Yi soldiers who were fluent in Chinese gathered outside Lujiao and began to abuse the Han troops and of course Yang Qing himself.
However, these Yi soldiers were probably not well educated and had little knowledge. They only scolded the Han people for being cowardly, the Han people were dogs, and Yang Qing was cowardly and incompetent.
To be honest, these kinds of insults could not arouse the anger of Yang Qing, who had been influenced by the language of later generations. However, Liu Yin and others couldn't stand it, so they bluntly said that they would go out to the camp and severely attack the Yi soldiers.
Of course, Yang Qing would not be angry and raise troops because of this. He said calmly: "Generals are not allowed to send troops without permission without X's order. Please be prepared. I want to leave the camp to talk to Gaoding."
"Yes, Mr. Fu." Liu Yin on the side responded.
After a while, the Han army camp gate opened, and Yang Qing rode out of the camp gate, followed by Liu Yin and dozens of other crossbowmen.
Yang Qing wandered left and right to the outermost antlers. After the archers on both sides shot an arrow to confirm the safe zone, he shouted to the Yi people's formation opposite: "I am Yang Qing, the governor of Yuexi, please Gao Ding The king comes to speak.”
Gao Ding also wanted to meet this difficult opponent, so he led his bodyguards forward and said, "I am Gao Ding. May I ask if I can do it in person to Governor Yang?"
Yang Qing replied: "It is Mr. Yang. I have heard about the great king for a long time. I am lucky enough to meet you now. It is really a blessing for me."
"It's a great honor to meet Mr. Yang today. I didn't expect our Governor Yang to be so young." Although Gao Ding had already found out Yang Qing's age, he still couldn't help but see Yang Qing's young face. sighed
"Your Majesty is the leader of the old people. His reputation is far-reaching, and everyone in the south admires him. Why should you indulge in wrong ways and rebel against the court?" Yang Qing persuaded him earnestly: "As long as you know how to go astray, you can lead your troops back to your homeland." In the countryside, the Qing Dynasty will report to the imperial court, and Xu Gong will always be the ruler of the old people, and will always be the fence of Nanzhong."
Gao Ding smiled and said: "Now there are three parts of the world and two emperors. The Central Plains is full of energy and has great power. We remote people really don't know where to go. I hope the prefect can teach someone."
Huh, this guy can actually listen to Yong Kai's words.
Yang Qing cursed secretly, but he had to argue with reason on the face: "What the king said is wrong. It has been more than four hundred years since our great ancestor killed the White Snake in the uprising. In the meantime, Wang Mang also usurped the government, but he still revived with glory and continued. Hantong.”
"Although Cao Cao has usurped the throne and occupied the Central Plains, I, Emperor Zhaolie, have inherited the great rule in Xichuan, and Emperor Suijun has spread benevolent policies in Shu. In the future, I will follow Guangwu's story, return to the old capital, and revitalize the Han Dynasty. In this era of great strife, if the king can repent and serve his master, one day he may be able to split the land and seal the territory in Nanzhong."
Gao Ding thought that what Yang Qing said was very reasonable, and his heart moved slightly, but then he thought about the current situation in the world. Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, occupied the Central Plains, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, ruled in the east, and the heroes of the south and central areas came together. Who will be the leader of this region? The owner is not yet known.
Therefore, Gao Ding replied sternly: "What Lord Yang Fu said is wrong. The Lord of Wei received the favor of the Zen position from the Han Dynasty, and is actually an orthodox dynasty. I wonder how the Chengdu court will deal with itself?"
"Humph, Cao Pi threatened the emperor and threatened the Zen throne. He was actually a traitor. What's the objection? I heard that loyal people forget themselves and obedient vassals devote themselves to danger. Now that the country is in crisis, if the king is loyal and obedient The vassal is determined to assist Han and Liu, so why do you want to start a rebellion and help Cao Cao to abuse?"
"This..." Gao Dingqiang argued: "I raised the army because the Han people oppressed our people."
Yang Qing responded tit for tat: "I have already said that I will exempt the old people from undue tribute and taxes, and the Han and barbarians will become one family and enjoy peace together."
Gao Ding felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he continued to speak, so he said firmly: "You Han people are so cunning, how can we be easily fooled?"
Of course, Yang Qing knew that it was impossible to convince this barbarian hero to surrender with just words, so he immediately said: "In that case, we will have to do it once before we can distinguish right from wrong."
"Hmph, I'm afraid Fujun doesn't dare to come out of camp to fight." Gao Ding said coldly.
Yang Qing laughed and said: "If your Majesty is not convinced, go ahead and attack. Yang will accompany you to the end."
"Hmph, then you just have to wait and see the heroic appearance of my son." Gao Ding replied without showing any signs of weakness.
After that, Gao Ding turned his horse's head and walked towards his own camp. Seeing this, Yang Qing sighed slightly and turned back to the camp.
In the next hour, no matter how much the barbarian soldiers yelled and cursed, Yang Qing and others refused to agree. They still strictly restrained the troops and could not attack without orders.
After the scolding, Gao Ding saw that the Han people were unmoved and knew that these methods were ineffective, so he waved his hand to let these barbarian soldiers retreat.
After he drove his horse back to the formation, he immediately ordered the army to attack forward. He could no longer bear it and decided to confront the Han army head-on. Today he would weigh the quality of the army.
The front line of the Yi soldiers raised their shields to block the Han army's bows and arrows, and approached the outer antlers. However, as soon as a pair of antlers struck, arrows rained down from the enemy in front of them and the Han army on the hills on both sides. Under attack from three sides, even with shields Even if you cover it up, you won't be able to protect it completely. For a time, there was a wailing sound among the barbarian soldiers.
The outermost antlers were just within the shooting range of the Han army's crossbowmen. Even if the Yi soldiers blocked the arrows fired in front of them, the arrows fired from the hills on the left and right sides were at a tricky angle, and the Yi soldiers' leather armor was not fully protected and many were damaged. .
Before the most important antlers were destroyed, the barbarian soldiers in the front group could no longer bear the casualties and retreated towards the main formation.
Gao Ding also knew that his son had done his best, so he did not punish him and allowed his frontline troops to withdraw. After a brief rest, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers launched a general attack, pressing down on the camp at the foot of the mountain and the hills on the left and right sides in an instant.
Although most of the Yi soldiers' crossbowmen fired from behind, they were not afraid of death and were not afraid of damage. They only came close and fired arrows, causing a lot of damage to the Han army in a short time.
When Yang Qing saw this, he became furious and immediately ordered his own crossbowmen to go out and shoot at the enemy. Firstly, the Han army had a geographical advantage. Secondly, the Han army had a larger number of crossbowmen. Thirdly, the Han army had excellent crossbows and the barbarians The soldiers and crossbowmen finally couldn't resist and retreated.
The Yi people's crossbowmen retreated, and the rest of the troops were even more difficult to resist. After a while, they all retreated backwards.
Gao Ding had no choice but to order the army to withdraw to the camp and make arrangements tomorrow. After all, the sky was dark and the sun was setting. It was impossible to fight again today, so it was better to return to camp early to rest.
