Chapter 752: The Sound of Drums and Horns (24)
When Mei Hua and Wu Ya crossed the headquarters, their faces were extremely excited, and the first battle of the Young Guards would be the first to be fought by them.
"Don't be a seed." Mei Hua looked at Wu Ya, "The one who lost his brother-in-law." ”
"I'm afraid you'll embarrass me!" Wu Ya took a sip, "Do you want to make a bet, who will win your goal first?" ”
"Bet, why not?" Mei Hua smiled. "Whoever loses, it's still the same!"
"Of course!"
The two laughed and turned over on their horses, their two big hands clasped together, shook them heavily, spurred their horses, and galloped away.
In the lobby, Ye Zhen looked at Yang Dasha, "These two boys are too young, I don't know if something will go wrong?" ”
"What could go wrong!" Yang Dasha laughed: "The opponent is defenseless and weak, if they can't fight in this way, then they are not worthy of being my soldiers, I will screw their heads off with my own hands as a night pot, so as not to be ashamed." ”
Ye Zhen glanced at him, "I think you will be arrested by Cao Tianci sooner or later." ”
Yang Dasha laughed and flattened his mouth, "Old Ye, you have to leave tomorrow, you have to do enough drama, Kong De's old boy is very proud now, when the time comes, don't let him go too easily." ”
"If you eat me, you'll have to vomit it up twice as much as you want." Ye Zhen sneered: "Now let's make him proud for a while, and when the offensive on your side begins, I will make him cry." ”
"That is, when the time comes, he wants to retreat, but it is not so easy. Bai Yucheng will create enough trouble for him, and when the time comes, stick to him and beat him up. ”
"After I leave, the coordinator of Liaoxi County is Zheng Jun Zheng Jun, he is a literati, your stinky mouth has to be tightened."
"Don't worry, I admire the reader." Yang Dasha nodded again and again.
Ye Zhen glared at him with disdain, "Duplicity." ”
At the end of June, Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom. Presented is a jubilant atmosphere, and the Eastern Army officially started the war of the imperial court horses, on the two fronts, are excellent, first Hu Yanchao's general Wu Bo withstood the onslaught of Ding Wei, the vanguard of the Southern Group Army of the Eastern Army, in the Kunshan Pass, half a month of offensive and defensive battles, although the Kunshan Pass was beaten to a thousand holes, but it is still standing, Hu Yanchao sent 5,000 reinforcements to arrive at the Kunshan Pass, the battle situation temporarily stabilized. Although it was unable to drive the other party away, the Eastern Army was unable to take the Kunshan Pass, threatening the hinterland of Langya.
On the other front, Kong De was advancing vigorously, and within a month, he drove the garrisons of the Eastern Army into the Luliang Mountains, and the Anlu mining area that the Eastern Army had worked hard to obtain. It fell back under the control of the Yan army.
"I think that Kong De's soldiers and horses should cross Luliang Mountain and directly attack Hejian County." Ji Ling walked around the main hall excitedly. "If you take the river, the thief will be like cutting off an arm, and it can also greatly boost the morale of our army, and the river will be lost. The thief army in western Liaoning had to go back to defense, like this. The siege of Kunshan Pass was relieved, Hu Yanchao could launch a counteroffensive and enter the territory of western Liaoning, so that the high thieves would have to mobilize their troops in Panshan or Hetao to come back to help, but in this way, it gave Kumamoto a chance, Tan Feng, how is the situation on Kumamoto's side, but there is news coming back? ”
"Back to the king, there has been news that Kumamoto has received the order, the original 30,000 prisoners of war, after the scale selection, there are 20,000 people can still fight again, although the body is a little weaker, but they have a good foundation, as long as the moon will be raised, the body will recover, General Kumamoto is worried about how to boost their morale? These people have endured a lot of hardships in Donghu, and the more than 10,000 people who have been eliminated have collapsed their bodies because of too hard work and harsh treatment, and they are afraid that they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future. ”
"Damn the Donghu people!" Ji Ling scolded hatefully, "Tan Feng, I will personally write a letter to these soldiers, you send someone to the Kumamoto army, tell those soldiers, as long as they fight all the way back from Hetao, each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, ten acres of land, and the officers will be promoted to three levels, as long as they dare to work hard, this king will not treat them badly." ”
"The king is wise!" Tan Feng nodded and said, "I have also found a lot of family members of these soldiers, asked them to write letters to their families, and they are also preparing to send them to the Kumamoto army, I believe that this will also help their morale." ”
"Well, you're very thoughtful." Ji Ling nodded, turning his head to look at Zhou Yu, "Captain, what do you think of the military strategy I mentioned earlier?" ”
"Wang, although I took Anlu and Xinhui, but I read the military report sent back by Kong De, the enemy's elite killing is really limited, the Eastern Army has always been known for fighting to the death and not retreating, but in these two places did not resist to the last moment, a slight loss abandoned the city and left, Anlu fought for ten days, Xinhui fought for half a month, fierce fighting for nearly a month, but killed and injured the opponent only more than 2,000 people, and now the other party retreated to Luliang Mountain, I think it is safe, or hold these two places, first find an opportunity to annihilate the remnants of the enemy in these two places. Once you cross Luliang Mountain, if there is an accident, it will be difficult to retreat. ”
Hearing Zhou Yu's rejection of his thoughts, Ji Ling's face couldn't help but be a little ugly, "Tan Feng, what do you say?" "He wants to get support from Tan Feng.
"Your Majesty, what Taiwei Zhou said is reasonable, the information that has just been transmitted back, Ye Zhen in the river has already rushed to Xinhui with thousands of reinforcements, and it is not a good choice to cross Luliang Mountain at this time, the meaning of the subordinates is still in Xinhui, An Lu sticks to it, lure Ye Zhen to attack, as soon as Ye Zhen arrives, the anti-thieves who retreat to Luliang Mountain will also show their heads, and the high thieves attack everywhere, and now the thieves will lead the infantry with six thousand cavalry in Daijun and can't get out, Ye Zhen's troops are insufficient, if General Kong can wait for work in Xinhui and Anlu, after the heavy damage to this army, Then march into the river, it is more secure. ”
Hearing Tan Feng say the same, Ji Ling couldn't help but be a little discouraged, "Okay, since you all say so, I won't insist on it, just do what you say, it's just Kunshan Pass, how long can it last, Ye Chongke has increased his troops again." ”
"Hu Yanchao has already increased his troops, and with his ability, it is expected to be fine." Tan Feng said with a smile.
"So be it!"
Just when Jicheng was jubilant, Zhou Changshou, the general of the Zhao army stationed in the city, was also paying close attention to this war, since the death of Zhao Mu, the Zhao military has actually fallen into the hands of Zhao Qi, Jing Rufeng commanded the Hedong battalion, most of the elite of the Zhao army are in Hedong, but this person is an alliance with Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi is now taking another Zhao army to fight with Zhao Yong in Daijun, Daijun has become a bad battle, and now he wants to get out, but he can't get it, Zhou Changshou disagreed. As Zhao Mu's cronies, he has actually become a marginal figure in the Zhao military, but his qualifications are old enough and his ability is enough, but the whole city is still unable to leave him, and Zhao Qi is still unable to clean him up.
Zhou Changshou does not have many troops in his hands, with 20,000 Zhao troops under his command, stationed in five cities, but this does not mean that Zhou Changshou is a defensive guy, his eyes are staring at Yuyang all the time, when Kong De launched an attack on An Lu, Zhou Changshou immediately raised the military alert of the whole city to the highest level, 20,000 Zhao troops, ready to attack.
Zhou Changshou was shocked by the appearance of the Eastern Army, and he seemed to be vulnerable, retreating again and again, even losing Anlu and Xinhui, and now he was driven to Luliang Mountain, even if Ye Zhen led the reinforcements to arrive, the situation of the host and guest had been transposed, and it would be difficult to get it back.
Why is this happening? Zhou Changshou was puzzled, could it be that as the generals under his command guessed, Gao Yuan transferred all his elites to the Hetao and Panshan areas, and the defenders of Anlu Xinhui were just a showman?
Zhou Changshou locked himself in the war room, looked at the map, and meditated, the Eastern Army should not be like this, if they did it intentionally, what did they want to do? Lure the enemy deep, and then gather and annihilate it, no, the Eastern Army does not have so many troops, you know, the troops under Kong De are several times as many as Ye Zhen, so what do they want to do? What kind of plot made Gao Yuan willing to give up even a mining area like Anlu, which was very important to the Eastern Army?
Zhou Changshou's eyes slowly moved on the map, and after a while, he stood up, grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, and said a little incredulously: "He shouldn't want to go straight to the heart of Yan Guo, right?" But where did his forces come from?"
Zhou Changshou scratched his head in distress, since Zhao Qi took control of the tiger and leopard ride, the power to clean the atomic orchid is very fast, but unfortunately, in this way, the vitality of the tiger and leopard ride is greatly damaged, and the intelligence is getting less and less, and the intelligence penetration of the Yandi and Zhengdongfu areas is almost a blank.
"Regardless of whether Gao Yuan thinks so or not, whether he has the strength or not, if this is the case, then I have a chance to dig up a piece of meat from Yuyang." Zhou Changshou said to himself. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, I'm ready here, and once I have the opportunity, I can attack."
Zhou Changshou's eyes became firm, Huo Ran turned around, and said, "Someone, pass on my generals, and order the generals of the five cities garrison to come to me immediately."
Zhou Changshou's premonition was confirmed in early July, when he received the information, several days had passed, and the Eastern Army suddenly sent troops from Hejian and attacked Yiyang and Baojing in Tianhe County in a lightning attack. The defenders of the two places were defenseless, and under the sudden attack of the opponent, they lost the two counties almost without the slightest resistance, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which attacked these two places, was a brand new army.
The Young Guards of the Eastern Army.
Zhou Changshou smiled, Gao Yuan really still hid his back hand, this time there is a good show, as long as Gao Yuan still has twenty or thirty thousand troops in his hands, Yan Guo has to mess up this time, Yan Guo is in chaos, it is the blessing of Zhao Guo, or he can take advantage of the chaos to eat Yuyang.
