"Conquer the Eastern Army, Wan Sheng!" Inside Yan Peng's big tent, a thunderous shout erupted, and dozens of commanders above the battalion level saluted Yan Peng with their fists, and then went out of the tent in turn. The Great War is approaching, the Donghu people are still fighting, and more than 20,000 cavalry are attacking where they are stationed, intending to break through their defenses and flee into the vast grassland, what they want to do is to intercept.

The grain route of the Donghu people has been cut off, they can't hold out for a few days, as long as they are dragged here, the victory will eventually belong to the Eastern Army, and this will also be the last battle between the Eastern Hu and the Eastern Army for the Hetao, this battle, if it ends with the complete victory of the Eastern Army, the Donghu people will no longer be able to launch a strong attack on the Hetao, and over time, the rule of the Eastern Army in the Hetao will be as solid as a rock.

The generals in the army have a fire burning in their hearts, this battle, Luo Weiran risked his life to attack, and cooperated with Helan Yan, reversing the unfavorable situation of the Eastern Army in one fell swoop.

Luo Weiran is just a guy rescued by the Eastern Army from the Donghu people, how can he be worse than him? Everyone thinks like this in their hearts, what he can do, why can't we.

The will to fight ripples in everyone's heart.

In the big tent, only Yan Peng and some of his close generals remained, these people were all from the river, looking at the excited eyes on everyone's faces, Yan Peng was much quieter.

"In this battle, I commanded the soldiers and horses of Wancheng to win by surprise, and turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, and the governor greatly appreciated it, and specially wrote a letter to us to make a great affirmation." Yan Peng raised the letter in his hand.

The people in the tent laughed, "This time." Commander, you can be regarded as raising your eyebrows, since you arrived at this Hetao, we have seen Xu Yuan's face in everything, and the people of the First Army have their nostrils facing the sky when they see us, ha, but this time, the first merit is we have made it, and when it comes to the celebration after the war, I want to see the faces of those people. A general couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Several other people have echoed one after another, since they came to this Tongwan City. They are really people with their tails between them, in order to get more soldiers and horses from Xu Yuan's hands, they accompany the low and small, and they have already accumulated a lot of sullen gas in their hearts.

Yan Peng knocked on the table, "Don't make a villain look like a villain, you will be rampant with pride, and you don't have to let people underestimate us." We are not from a small family like Xu Yuan, and the battle of the Hetao is basically decided. Next, our Eastern Army will definitely march into Donghu, completely pacify these barbarians, and take the entire Liaodong. There are still battles to be fought. Maybe when it will be the turn of others to be proud in front of us, leave a line today, and he will see each other tomorrow. Besides, although Xu Yuan is not the general of the governor's lineage. But it was also the earliest group of people who followed the governor. You have to remember this clearly. ”

"Speaking of nostalgia. The Governor is really like this, if you really want to talk about it, Commander Sun is really a little incompetent for the position of commander of the Northern Group Army, but the Governor still puts him in this position. Another general lowered his voice.

"Shut up!" A cold light flashed in Yan Peng's eyes, and he glared at the other party angrily, "Commander Sun is also something you can discuss, and the Governor puts Commander Sun in this position, and he has his own considerations." You know, the governor sees not only the present, but also the future, what you have to do is to fight this big battle, you all came out of the river, the last war, our river soldiers lost face, this time, if you can't pick up this face for me, you will go to the Liao River to drill a hole in the Liao River, jump into the Liao River to feed the fish, so as not to embarrass me. ”

"Obey, commander, as long as I still have a breath, I will not let the Donghu people cross my defense line a step, and as long as there is one person left in the Hejian soldiers, they will firmly hold their positions." Several generals stood up awe-inspiringly.

"Go, don't forget my intention to put you on the front line this time, big risks also contain big opportunities, whether you can seize it is your ability, whether you can survive, it depends on your luck, opportunities and risks coexist, I hope you can survive to the end." Yan Peng said.

"Commander, the Governor has arranged for people from the First Army to support us, will they deliberately delay because they are jealous of our great achievements this time?" One of the generals said with some trepidation.

"Be yourself!" Yan Peng said coldly: "Xu Yuan, he really dares to do this, the first person who wants to kill him is the Du Du, how can the Du Du be a person who rubs sand in his eyes." ”

"The Admiral understands!"

Everyone left, but Yan Peng fell into contemplation, just now the general mentioned Sun Xiao in the account, and it was not bad, although Sun Xiao is the old brother of the governor, he is also the most trusted, the most intimate group of people, and Sun Xiao's strength behind him can be regarded as the first person in the Eastern Army, the father-in-law controls the trade of the four seas, and his wife and brother support the military law spies, and the governor's trust in the Cao family and Sun Xiao can be seen.

But Sun Xiao can only be a person who keeps the job, but not a pioneering talent, this time the battle of the Hetao, in the end, the governor personally commanded, it was because the governor was not worried about Sun Xiao's coordination and command ability, with Yan Peng's familiarity with politics, it was already possible to guess the Governor Gaoyuan's arrangements for Sun Xiao's future.

After pacifying Donghu, Hetao and Liaodong will be united, this large piece of land will be the foundation of the Eastern Army's pursuit of the world, Gao Yuan must need a person he absolutely trusts to manage this large piece of land, Sun Xiao is naturally the most suitable candidate, he is the commander of the Northern Field Army of the Eastern Army, this piece of land, nominally speaking, is Sun Xiao down, after the war, his prestige will naturally rise, when the time comes to transfer to the place, it will be a matter of course, and it is his only task to look forward to this backyard for the governor.

And in this way, the commander of the Northern Field Army is vacant, Yan Peng thinks about it, he and Xu Yuan are the only people who can compete for this position. Xu Yuan is brave and cunning, but he is far-sighted and good at layout, and the two of them have their own strengths, so in the battle to sweep away Donghu, whoever is better will be closer to this position.

Even if he can only be on an equal footing with Xu Yuan, with his background in Hejian County and his father's influence in the Eastern Mansion, he will have a greater advantage.

Thinking of this, his body couldn't help but get hot, he simply got up with a knife and walked out of the big tent, he was going to inspect his own defense line, this battle, not only the prospect of the Donghu people, the future of the Eastern Army, is naturally his Yan Peng's future. With his father's resignation from Hejian County and becoming a deputy councilor, his influence in Hejian will gradually wane, and if he can't make a difference, the Yan clan will sink.

The defense line of the second army is dominated by Xiaogushan, the left side is the Liao River, and the right side is a large area of beach, the Donghu cavalry wants to rush out from here, the only way is the open space between the small Gushan and the Liao River for more than ten miles, and this open space is naturally the battlefield where the two sides are strangled.

The ground was frozen so hard that it was basically impossible to dig out the traditional trenches of the Eastern Army, but fortunately there were countless snows here, which were used to pile up the breastwork, and after pouring water, it was comparable to rocks, and on the wide battlefield for more than ten miles, there were deer antlers, horses, and countless iron thistles were sprinkled in the snow.

Every few dozen steps, a snow platform was built, in which one or two bed crossbows were placed, which were fired alternately to ensure that the gap between shots was minimized. Compared with bows and arrows, the arm crossbow has a longer range and stronger power, which effectively makes up for the lack of bed crossbows.

Standing on the highest snow platform, looking at the seemingly endless, vertical and staggered defense line, a pride arose from Yan Peng's chest, he never thought that one day he would be with as many as tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry on the battlefield, and it is even possible to become the terminator of the Donghu cavalry, from this point of view, he even has to thank the Eastern Army for annexing Hejian, so that he has the opportunity to become famous in the world, Yan Peng is convinced that after this battle, his Yan Peng's name will also be spread to the world with this victory.

Men live in the world, and they should be like that.

If you insist on saying that there is something insufficient, it is that the troops on hand are slightly insufficient, Luo Weiran took away half of his troops, so that he now only has five or six thousand troops to use, in order to win this battle, he even pushed the auxiliary soldiers to the battlefield, and the original duties of the auxiliary soldiers were all handed over to the people in Tuntian around Tongwan City.

If the Eastern Army loses, they will also be bankrupt and their lives will not be guaranteed, so all people must do their part.

Yan Peng of Tongwan City was waiting for the battle, and at this time, in the Pioneer City, the large-scale attack had already kicked off, 10,000 foot soldiers were invested at one time, and the attack on the Pioneer City was launched from three directions, Xu Yuan, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the Donghu soldiers who were overwhelming and sneered, "Sure enough, it is not what the Governor expected!" ”

10,000 foot soldiers carried the ladder, pushed the Meng Chong cart, held the rudimentary wooden shield, carried the huge wooden beating of the city wall, the city gate, in the deafening war drums and the continuous sound of horns, shouted and rushed towards the vanguard city, and farther away, Yan Qi's Chinese army flag fluttered in the wind, around him, the five thousand palace guards were also fully armed, on standby.

"Bed crossbow ready." On top of the city walls, the officers in charge of long-range strikes raised the command flag in their hands.

"Torn!" The flag fell, and countless bed crossbows as thick as children's arms shot down from the city, burrowing into the dense crowd, opening out a bloody alley, bringing out a blood mist, and the warm blood met the cold air outside, and in an instant, there was a steaming hot air, and the air was full of blood.
