Jingkou, Qili Township, Liujia Village.

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, a shade, more than 100 sturdy men, all squatting on the ground, the waist pole is straight, the eyes are staring at a temporary sand pile in front of them, which is marked with mountains, rivers and towns, and the red and black flags, inserted everywhere, the largest city edge, a small wooden sign with the word Jinyang, and a small red flag with the word Qin, is inserted on the city wall, on the contrary, a large flat land in the south, it is full of more than 20 black flags with the words Xiyan, obviously, A wargame is being done here.

Liu Yu piled up the last castle, and put a small wooden sign with "Pingyang" written on the side, he stood up, breathed a long sigh of relief, patted the mud on his hands, and looked at the surrounding comrades with a smile: "Everyone, this is the current situation in Bingzhou, after more than a year of testing and confrontation, now Xiyan occupies the southwest of Jin, Pingyang, Jiangzhou, Puban, and the forces of Qianqin are assembled in Jinyang, and the troops on both sides are about to explode." What do you think about the prospect of this battle? ”

Xiang Jing said with a smile: "Qianqin suffered a big loss, the previous section of the 10,000 Xiyan's armor cavalry went to the grassland, they did not attack, and now the remaining armor cavalry has detoured to Heshuo and returned to Bingzhou, when Fu held on to Chang'an in the past, there were hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, fierce generals like clouds, this is not the opponent of Xiyan, Fu Pi is just a group of remnants of the defeated generals, how can it be the opponent of Xiyan?" ”

Yu Qiujin shook his head: "I don't agree with Tie Niu's opinion, Fu Pi's is also a remnant of the defeated army, his main force is just tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who escaped from Yecheng, they originally defended Yecheng just to survive, because they knew that after the city was broken, Murong Chui would not leave chickens and dogs." Now that he has escaped, he has lost his previous fighting spirit, not to mention that we now also know that it was not Murong Chui who couldn't attack Yecheng before, but deliberately kept it as a bait to lure our Beifu army north. ”

Sun Chu looked at Yu Qiujin: "Little nobleman, why don't you say that the strongest 10,000 armored cavalry in the Western Yan Army is less than half, and the Western Yan Army without elite assault cavalry, why be afraid?" ”

Yu Qiujin looked at Wei Yongzhi: "Rabbit, you tell Sandanzi about it, just use the paragraph you told me two days ago, so that he can also have a long insight." ”

Wei Yongzhi's two rabbit lips rolled, just like the white of his eyes: "Three eggs, you don't want to think about it, when did the Xiyan Army have armor and cavalry." ”

Sun Chu was slightly stunned, and then said: "It turns out that when I was in Guanzhong, didn't I rely on this to be invincible, don't you say that I really didn't expect this, when did you form an army?" ”

Wei Yongzhi looked at Liu Yu with a smile: "You, you just don't listen to Brother Jinu's words before, he said last time in the Northern Expedition, the Western Yan Army originally did not have armor and cavalry, but only heavy assault cavalry, to achieve both men and horses, or to destroy the former Qin, after conquering Chang'an, use the equipment in the arsenal of the Qin army in Chang'an City." They used to be able to defeat Fu Jian's army without relying on armored cavalry, and now they don't need it either. ”

Sun Chu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Even if you don't need armored cavalry, but half of the 10,000 most elite hoplites are dead, and only 5,000 iron cavalry are left, I'm afraid it will be a big loss of strength." ”

Tan Pingzhi looked at Tan Daoji with a smile: "Daoji, you can talk about it, let the big guy listen." ”

Tan Daoji nodded, cleared his throat, and said: "In my humble opinion, the strength of Xiyan Xianbei lies in the fierceness of its cavalry, both men and women can ride and shoot, and there are a group of veteran generals who have been fighting for many years, they lack discipline, but they are against it on the plain, it is difficult to resist its fighting assault, Fu Jian of the former Qin fought with it in the field, and was repeatedly defeated, because the infantry phalanx of the Qin army did not have any advantage on the plain, especially after Yang Ding's iron cavalry was ambushed and destroyed, it was impossible to compete with it. ”

"But on the other hand, the Xianbei army is longer than the field battle, shorter than the siege, they lack siege equipment, they are used to riding horses, and they are not willing to get off the horse to attack the city, just now someone said that Murong Trai deliberately did not take Yecheng, I don't see it that way, Murong Trai can't know when our Beifu army will go on a northern expedition, and it won't take two or three years to bet on us to send troops, he can't capture the city, or because of the lack of ability to attack the city, even if Fu sticks to Chang'an, it has lasted for more than a year, although there is a brother who sends slaves to help, but this also shows that the siege of the Western Yan army, There is no advantage. ”

"On the other hand, the Qin army, although it is a defeated army in various places, the remnants of the army gathered, but now Bingzhou is their only stable hometown, it can also be said to be one of the last two hopes of the Di people, the other hope is far away in Longyou Fu Deng, not to say for the time being, only to say Fu Pi, now his subordinates are still following him, are the most loyal to the former Qin, the most die-hard soldiers, and Xiyan Murong has an undying enmity, their combat effectiveness, after the battle of Yecheng and our Northern Expeditionary Army in several skirmishes can also be seen, field or insufficient, Defending the city is extremely good, if they stick to Jinyang, hold the exits to Taihang Mountain, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiyan, trapped in the small Jinnan Plain, can not fight, retreat and no food, time is long, will be scattered in all directions, without a fight. ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, and Tan Pingyi smacked Tan Daoji's chest proudly: "Look at what you kid can, wow, wow, wow, so many words, Jinu, you say, is what he said reasonable?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Brother Daoji said it very well, by the way, there are ninety percent, but there is a little detail, or ignore it, this point may become a fatal winner." ”

The smile on Tan Daoji's face froze suddenly, and Meng Longfu and Liu Zhong on the side laughed, and hurriedly said, "Brother Jinu, what details, tell us quickly." ”

Liu Yu stood up, picked up a wooden stick, pointed to the terrain of Bingzhou, and said in a deep voice: "Bingzhou, this is such a terrain, known as the mountains and rivers in the table, in fact, it is divided into three sections, the border counties around Yanmen in the north are mostly mountainous, the land is poor and the people are poor, mainly as a military buffer zone to defend the Hu people in the north, and most of the grain-producing areas are concentrated in the Jinzhong Plain, in Jinyang, Fenshui, to Huoyi, there are large areas of farmland, Huoyi to the south, through the Huozhou Grand Canyon, in order to the southwest of the Jinnan Plain, now is the West Yanju Jinnan, Former Qin lived in Jinzhong, as long as they firmly guarded the Huozhou Gorge, then Xiyan would have nothing to do, because even if Xiyan wanted to go east, they had to go east over Taihang Mountain and go to Hebei, but Taihang Bacheng was in Jinzhong and northern Jin, that is, they could only go east if they occupied Jinzhong, or at least passed through. ”
