On July 12, Xi Zhicai led the main force south and pressed Wei County.

However, the battlefield of Weixian is narrow, like a funnel, the entrance in the middle is blocked, and the two sides can never pass, and the main force of the herdsman army can only stop two hundred miles away and station, and do not directly enter the battlefield.

The terrain in the south, there are few roads, even if there are some mountain trails, they are rugged, the trails are hidden, and the most important thing for the march is to rely on galloping roads.

In particular, the march of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, without galloping, is simply difficult to move an inch.

Although the herdsmen have mountain troops.

However, most of the main force are ordinary foot soldiers, and they do not have rich experience in mountain warfare, so unless there are special circumstances, the herdsmen will not choose the strategy of marching over the mountains and mountains.

As a result, the terrain of Nanzhong became more and more restrictive to the herdsmen, which hindered the advance of the herdsmen.

Now, Yonghong has pinched the pass of Wei County, so that the main force of the herdsman army has never been able to go south smoothly, and even trapped in the north of Lushui, unable to cross south smoothly and enter Yizhou County.

After the pastoral army was stationed and camped, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Ren and other generals quickly went south to join Mujing and discuss military strategy.

Now the front-line headquarters of the pastoral army is a double-toothed fighting ship established in the Jingping Water Division.

The cabins are spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people.

Mu Jing, Xi Zhicai, and Huang Zhong are in the first place, and the heads of the various departments of the herdsmen are sitting left and right, and there is a huge sand table in the middle, on which is the detailed terrain within a radius of 300 miles from Wei County.

"Now that Wei County can't defend it, we can't cross this pass, can you have a good plan?"

Mu Jing glanced at it and asked indifferently.

In these days, they have attacked Wei County more than three times, but they have not been able to achieve results, first, Wei County's strength is still very large, second, the surrounding terrain of Wei County limits the conditions of the herdsmen's soldiers, and third, the barbarian army in the southern suburbs of Wei County has become a factor that the herdsmen cannot completely let go of the defense and attack with all their might.

All in all, for various reasons, the herdsmen have never been able to effectively organize their forces to attack Wei County, resulting in the current situation, the heavy army is blocked from moving south, and they are trapped on the battlefield of Wei County.

And Yonghong has made up his mind, that is, to consume it on the battlefield, and wants to consume the main force of the herdsman army here.

"Lord, the news just came that Wei County has increased its troops by eight thousand!"

Chen Gong said with a wry smile: "Yonghong has transferred eight thousand soldiers from Yongchang, and the leader of the troops will be the commander of Yongchang, Zheng Bai!" ”

"Eight thousand troops?"

Mu Jing's fists clenched: "It seems that he has made up his mind to go bankrupt here and die with me!" ”

"In today's current situation, the key is that the enemy's main general, Yonghong, lured him out once before, making him suffer a big loss, and now if he wants to lure him out again, there is basically no hope!" Xi Zhicai squinted, his eyes flashed with a touch of essence, and he said in a low voice: "Yonghong will not be fooled again, since his strategic deployment is delaying consumption, then haunting this strategic deployment, even if they see that there is hope to annihilate us all here, they will not go out of the city to fight!" ”

Under the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides, in the previous duel, it has been exposed, as long as Yonghong is not stupid, he will not choose to attack, if he defends to the death, even if the herdsman army can break through Wei County, it may not have enough troops to go south smoothly.

"Can you let the navy break the river blockade, go south first, and force their main force to divide their troops to the south, so that our main force can attack smoothly!"

Chen Gong thought for a moment and said.

"Difficult!"

Gan Ning spoke: "It's not a problem for the navy to go south, there are only scattered warships in Yizhou, and there are no naval warships that have formed combat effectiveness, the naval division wants to open up the waterway and go straight to Dianchi City, it is not a problem, the problem is that the lone army is deep, the naval division is in danger of destruction, and there is no main force to respond, if my naval division is trapped, they can rely on both sides of the strait, and in some dangerous beaches, our warships are stranded, and then the land foot soldiers attack, losing the advantage of flexibility, we are like a target, and the whole army will be wiped out at that time!" ”

"There is no point in dividing troops at this time!" Mu Jing shook his head, directly denied their discussion of the sailor going south first, and said: "The war has reached this point, stability is the main thing, and if you advance easily, you will definitely fall short, you must advance by land and water, advance layer by layer, and completely defeat them step by step!" ”

"But my lord, now Weixian is like a pass, blocking us in front of us!"

Chen Zhi arched his hand and said: "If we continue to spend here, it is not good for us, a month, two months, three months, we can hold on, but if it takes half a year, we may not be able to resist!" ”

"There's not so much time to waste!"

The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly: "At most, a month, without any news, I will choose to attack at all costs, even if it is a hundred miles into a scorched earth ruin, at any cost!" ”

"A month?"

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other.

"Let you find a way to attack, in order to be foolproof, my game-breaking chess is not here, long before going south to Wei County, I have already ordered the Zhanhu Battalion and the Wuxi Barbarian Army to go directly south from Qiqi and attack Dianchi along the south!"

Mu Jing directly spread out and said that he needed to give these generals absolute confidence in order to make the next battle more smooth: "If you are not prepared, you can take it by surprise, as long as they can successfully attack Dianchi, this Wei County will not be attacked, but I am not completely sure, after all, this is Nanzhong, our most unfamiliar Nanzhong, so we have to make two sets of preparations, once the raid fails, we will fight hard!" ”

"Actually, we can think of another idea!"

Xi Zhicai said suddenly.

"What's the idea?" Mu Jing asked, and the eyes of the rest of the people also looked at Xi Zhicai.

"Jingping Third Army!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"The battlefield of the cross-net?" Mu Jing's eyes lit up slightly, and soon they dimmed again: "The Yuewang battlefield has little impact on the main battlefield, even if Gao Min is defeated and retreats, it will be difficult to affect Meng Shu and Yonghong, as long as they hold this line, we will have no hope of going south!" ”

The four counties in Nanzhong, the strength of the four major divisions, Yonghong, Meng Huo, Zhu Bao, Gao Min.

The weakest is Zhu Bao.

He was the first to die, and the remaining three were all powerful people, Meng Huo was the barbarian king of 100,000 mountains, his army was the most powerful, and Yonghong, as a landlord with two counties of Yongchang in Yizhou, his influence was the most terrifying.

Next is the Yi King Gao Min, the Yi tribe is the most powerful alien race in Yuewang, the tribe of 100,000 mountains, called barbarians, mainly because of the name of the barbarian and the Yi tribe, most of the tribes are called barbarians.

The strength of the Yi clan should not be underestimated, whether the third army of Jingping can crush them, it is difficult to say, even if it is successfully defeated, it will not be able to control the situation in Yue Wan in a short period of time, after all, Yue Wan is full of foreign tribes.

"What if Jingping's Third Army bypasses the Yi tribe?" Xi Zhicai's thinking logic is a little prominent, he will never limit himself to the chessboard, so he can play chess very well, especially the chess of marching formation.

"Bypass?"

Mu Jingleng paused.

The crowd was also a little confused.

"What Xi Sima means is to let Jingping's Third Army take out a southward momentum, let go of the entanglement of the Yi people, and don't work hard in the offensive and defensive battles of Yuewang, concentrate the main force, and go directly to the two counties of Yongchang and Yizhou in the way of connecting Yuewang, and even force the barbarian king to retreat!"

Chen Gong quickly told the train of thought of Xi Zhicai.

"Good idea!"

Mu Jing praised it, and then said: "But this is a great burden on the Jingping Third Army, the Third Army has not formed combat effectiveness for a long time, the centripetal force is insufficient, and the cohesion is insufficient. ”

"I believe Zhang Wenyuan!" Xi Zhicai said lightly.

Mu Jing thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, then believe in Zhang Liao once, come here!" ”

"In!"

"Pass my military order and order Jingping's Third Army to find a way to attack Yongchang in the south!"

"No!"

"In addition, I will pass on my message and tell Zhang Wenyuan that this battle situation is at his discretion, and the military order is like a mountain, but there is no time limit, he doesn't have to take it to heart, do what he can!" Mu Jing thought about it, but still instructed.

The strategic deployment is like this, but it does not mean that he can let the Third Army go to death, whether this battle is fought or not, it depends on Zhang Liao's own wishes, he did issue a military order, the military rules of the pastoral army are strict, and the military order is like a mountain, but he also left a living mouth, and there is no time limit, that is, Zhang Liao can go south whenever he wants.

"No!"

The herald took the military document of the headquarters, put it in a cylinder, carried it on his back, and rushed it for 800 miles to the battlefield of Yuewang.

……………………………………………………

Wei County, among the county offices.

Yonghong was reading the news of the scouts these days, which made him a little unsure of the intention of the herdsmen, he looked at the scout captain and asked: "Li Hong, you are sure, the herdsmen have not been out of the camp in the past few days!" ”

"Sure!"

Li Hong is short in stature, thin in stature, about thirty years old, and his martial arts are not the best, but he is one of the best in Yizhou County, and he is also one of Yonghong's confidants.

He replied: "I went to investigate in person, and the shepherd seems to be training!" ”

"Training before the battle, good attitude!"

Yonghong sighed.

"Lord Taishou, the shepherd army dares to train in front of the battle, I'm afraid it is something to rely on!" Xu Min said suddenly: "We consume energy, they may not be able to afford it, since Bashu went south, thousands of miles away, their logistics and transportation, must be difficult, even if Ming Hou made sufficient preparations in advance, they will last less than half a year at most, he is simply hungry and has no time to spend on us, at this time, training troops before the battle, fearless, is simply to cover up their real purpose!" ”

"And what is their real purpose?"

"I can't figure it out!"

Xu Min smiled bitterly: "But I always feel that something is wrong!" ”

"Then don't think about it!" Yonghong said: "Respond to all changes with the same!" ”

………………………………

Yizhou Army, southeast.

Yuyuan County.

This is only a hundred and fifty miles away from Dianchi City, and it is also the defense line in the southeast of Dianchi City.

The county order of Yuyuan County is called Zhao Li.

The Zhao family of the Yizhou Army is also one of the wealthy families in Nanzhong, and the head of the family is Zhao Hu of Yizhou County, Zhao Li, as the younger brother of the head of the family, has been sitting in the county order of Yuyuan County for ten years, and he has been operating an iron bucket here.

Although the recent war in the north continues, the news that Yizhou County has fallen into war has spread everywhere, but the impact on Yu Yuan is not very great, unless Dianchi is breached, otherwise those northerners will not be able to fight here, the days are gone, what should be eaten, what should be drunk, if there is something wrong, the tax has increased, so that the people have an extra layer of haze, but after all, it is not to the point where life can not go on.

On this day, Zhao Li hugged Meiji in his arms, drank and had fun in the hall, and suddenly ......

Rumble!

There was a loud bang, and the earth shook.

He stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Lord County, it's not good, the enemy has invaded the county!"

A county soldier stumbled in.

"What?"

Zhao Li's pupils changed color, and he asked coldly: "This is Yu Yuan, where is the enemy!" ”

What is Yu Yuan, it is the surrounding area of Dianchi City, there are many troops guarding Dianchi Lake, and no one dares to offend easily, even if it is some more blatant thieves, they do not dare to operate in this area, even if it is a fierce alien race, they do not dare to rashly attack Yu Yuan, which will inevitably alarm Dianchi.

So Yu Yuan was peaceful for many years.

"It's the shepherd!"

The county soldier said: "They are all herdsmen, and the numbers on their banners are all from the herdsmen's war tiger battalion!" ”

"Impossible!"

Zhao Li's eyes widened.

The herdsman army is facing the main force of Taishou in Wei County, how can it appear in Yuyuan County, which is thousands of miles away, it is not practical at all.

"County Zun, it's true!" A scribe walked in and said: "There were rumors that there were thieves in the southeast to make a rebellion, for the sake of the peace of the trade routes in the house and Jiaozhi, I sent someone to investigate, just now the news came back, the herdsman army has entered from the Qiqi, has broken through the city of Yugao, not only, no Sakura!" ”

The scribe was Zhao Li's advisor and the family's scholar.

The reason why the wealthy family is a wealthy family is that they recruit scholars for their own use, and the interests of the family are above everything else, and these recruited people are basically in the status of retainers.

"Coming in from the Qiqi, I just chose the most difficult road to walk in the south, the road is as fast as lightning, it can't be just for my little Yu Yuancheng, they are here to ......"

Zhao Li can achieve this position, naturally he is not stupid, he suddenly reacted: "Dianchi!" ”

"Now Lord Taishou is facing the enemy in the north, once a fire breaks out in the backyard, then Lord Taishou will definitely panic, and the defense line in the north may be defeated without a fight!"

The scribe said.

"Can we hold Yu Yuan?"

Zhao Li paced back and forth and asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid not, they came too fast, we were defenseless, the southern city gate has been breached, our county soldiers, but only five hundred people, the main force of the pastoral army, more than ten times ours!"

"Send someone out of the north city gate, hurry up, and go to Dianchi to report the news, we must let Dianchi prepare early!"

Zhao Li pondered for a moment and said: "Then pass on my order, order all the county soldiers to gather, and then recruit the young and strong people in the city, we must hold on to Yu Yuan, even if we can't hold it in the end, we must delay it for a day or two to prepare for Dianchi!" ”

The Zhao family and the Yong clan are allies, sharing weal and woe, and the entire Yizhou Hao clan is hostile to the herdsman, because they will definitely not be able to let go of the power of the Hao clan to govern Yizhou County.

So Zhao Li decided to fight to the death and sacrifice for his family, he didn't care.

"No!"

The middle-aged scribe nodded in agreement.
