Although all 10,000 people of Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe's two armies died in Muyang and Muyin, in fact, Lihua's plan achieved the goal perfectly.

It can be imagined how uncomfortable they must be when the 200,000 troops of the Rong army will be attacked by the cavalry of the Qin army at any time.

After burying Niu Yong, Lu Lihua immediately gathered all the generals together to arrange the plans for the next battle. But before that, Zhu Lihua first issued an extremely strict military order that had nothing to do with this war, and asked Xi Zihui to lead 2,000 old soldiers as an inspector to personally supervise the whole army to abide by this simple but not simple military order.

The military order was only a few short sentences: "Whoever kills an innocent person by a sergeant shall be beheaded, and his army commander and even the chief shall sit on the face."

Those who kill innocent people are more than 10 people, and their commanders and even chiefs sit on the heads, and their 100 generals and 500 lords sit on the heads.

More than 10 innocent people were killed, five horses were divided, and the commanders, chiefs, 100 generals, and 500 lords sat on the heads, and their military marquis and lieutenants sat on the faces.

Those who killed more than 100 innocent people were all on display.

As soon as this military order was issued, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the army.

Since ancient times, there has never been a punishment so severe, not to mention that Zhu Lihua also made his name clear and clearly written in the penal regulations.

This is an unprecedented anecdote, but it also makes everyone in the whole army understand that his coach Zhu Lihua attaches great importance to this matter.

And only a few senior generals such as Gao Yunce and Liang Qingshu understood in their hearts that this was because Lihua didn't want to see Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe's past repeated.

After Xizi Hui got the order, he immediately sent people to send this order to all parts of Hedong County, and the generals who received the order immediately began to reorganize their soldiers and horses after tacitly thinking of the fate of Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe, and let the soldiers under his command memorize this military order by heart.

After the military order was issued, Zhu Lihua began to discuss the next battle with the soldiers, but after discussing it for a long time, they came to a common answer, that is, to defend Huangyin.

When Wei Mu's cavalry entered Lishan, the 200,000 Rong army, which was already under great pressure on food and grass, no longer dared to drag it down.

Now for them, the only way is to conquer Huang Yin as soon as possible.

Therefore, within a month or two weeks, the Rong army will definitely attack Huangyin City with all its might.

The Narong army had been preparing for nearly a year, but the Qin army had also been operating in Huangyin for a long time. Therefore, the upcoming battle of Huangyin will never be similar to a thousand miles of surprise attacks, sneak attacks from behind and other military tactics, this war will only be a hand-to-hand combat and fierce hand-to-hand combat around the mountains outside the city and the Huangyin city wall.

At this time, there are still more than 65,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 people, and the whole city has already become a barrier, and the weapons and arrows sent from all over the city are densely distributed in all corners under the city wall.

Oil, rolling wood, and gravel also occupy almost half of the city.

Except for some houses in the city that were converted into soldiers' residences, the rest of the houses have been demolished.

All the wells in the city were tightly guarded, all the grain and grass were centrally managed, and Liang Qingshu was specially responsible for the deployment of various armies.

The entire Huangyin City had completely become the last and most majestic fortified fortress of Great Qin at this time.

It was quietly waiting to complete its mission, waiting for the emerging Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Qin Kingdom to start a battle that might be the last battle.

On October 23, 596 in the Zhou calendar, with the first snow of this winter falling from the sky, the wolf smoke suddenly rose on the farthest high ground outside Huangyin City, and more than a dozen scouts ran at full speed through the scattered and intertwined highlands in the direction of Huangyin City.

........

"Now Zhezhe has taken 30,000 horses north to Xuchang, and joined forces with the Hexi Rong army to monitor our Shangdang Huangtian Fortress and send troops south.

Now, in addition to Xieyuguan, there are still 10,000 Rong troops garrisoned by Qiuzi, and the five counties of Xinzheng, Muyang, Jiaocheng, Shancheng, and Muyin are each guarded by Lin Xu.

And Lin Xu personally led an army of 120,000 to attack Huangyin, and now he is camping fifteen miles east of my city. ”

After reading the report sent by the scout, Zhu Lihua said to the generals in the hall.

However, he didn't see the slightest timidity on the faces of the generals under his command, and there were many eager looks in his eyes.

Lihua smiled knowingly, didn't he expect the morale of the robes under his command to dare to fight and dare to fight to the death.

"The order goes down, the Rong army is desperate this time, and there are many men and horses, so General Tang Yuan doesn't have to care about the gains and losses of each highland, let him shrink his forces back to the eight main peaks tonight. But from tonight onwards, every high ground must be held to the death, and whoever dares to withdraw to the city without my orders will be decided! ”

Immediately after the order, a herald soldier shouted "Woo", and hurriedly left the hall to report to the high ground outside the city.

At the beginning, when Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe attacked Muyang and Muyin, Lu Lihua once ordered Tang Yuan that if the Rong army took the opportunity to kill, he must defend every high ground. The reason is that if the Rong army came to attack at that time, it would only take advantage of the defeat of Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe's two armies to attack, so their soldiers and horses were prepared in a hurry, and they needed to drag the Rong army's offensive on the high ground everywhere, and wait for Huangyin reinforcements while consuming the Rong army's strength.

But now it is not the same as in the past, when the Rong army is fully prepared and tens of thousands of troops are killed together, those highlands that are not high and have no strategic value can not only not hinder the progress of the Rong army, but will let Tang Yuan's soldiers and horses be broken one by one, and the troops will be lost in vain.

Therefore, Zhu Lihua made a decision on the spot and asked Tang Yuan to concentrate his troops on the eight main peaks outside Huangyin City.

As for the garrison in the city, everyone knows their responsibilities well this year, and there is no need for Lihua to do any more advice, but Lihua reiterates military discipline to the generals, and after saying some words of mobilization, the generals and officers walked out of the meeting hall and went to their respective places on duty.

For them, not to mention that the Rong army only has a mere 120,000 troops to attack at this moment, even if the Rong army has everything they have, it is not afraid to gather all the 300,000 or 400,000 troops they have distributed in various counties and counties to attack.

As for the reason, in addition to the well-prepared city fortifications of Huangyin City, there is also less than a month ago, the officers and soldiers of Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe set an example for the generals with their blood and lives.

These days, the scouts of Huang Yin have long been clear. Outside Muyang City, Niu Yong's army successively killed more than 10,000 Rong troops. Under Muyin City, Huang Yunhe's army left nearly 20,000 corpses behind in the battle of 30,000 Kunpeng troops.

Such a proud record came from the hands of colleagues who talked and laughed with him every day not long ago, drinking and playing, so the original fear of the generals for the Rong army was gone. Everyone has the same belief in their hearts, that is, what Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe can do, they can also do. Moreover, the enemy who killed Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe was outside the city at the moment, and everyone wanted to fight as soon as possible to avenge the two of them.

After a night, Huangyin City and the highlands outside the city have been wrapped in silver, located on the top of a towering mountain six miles east of Huangyin City, the soldiers who had just retreated here overnight suddenly found that under the white sky in the west, the rolling flow of people appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a mountain pressing the realm with the sudden vibration under the soldiers' feet.

Each soldier held his weapon tightly and stared at the menacing enemy while desperately controlling his hand to keep it from trembling.

However, seeing more than 100,000 people slaughtering him, I am afraid that no one can force the fear in his heart.

"Woohoo."

With the sound of horns, the black-pressed crowd quickly split into a team that was inconspicuous compared to this formation, and they rushed towards the high ground that was far from the outermost part of Huangyin City.

However, the huge and oppressive army did not stop because of this, as if they felt that the several high places outside the city were not worth mentioning at all, and continued to advance towards Huangyin City not far away.

When the head of the city could clearly see that the vanguard of the Rong army appeared on the Pingchuan outside the city, he couldn't help frowning slightly and sighed.

This Lin Xu's idea is really strange, he knew that those high ground was to harass them and hinder their march, but he sent troops and horses to attack the high ground at the same time, and let the main army come to the city.

Could it be that this Lin Xu is so confident that he can break through eight highlands at the same time?

I see that there are only 3,000 men and horses in each of the troops he has assigned to attack the high ground, and in doing so, are they not afraid that the flesh will be too hard and their teeth will be crushed?

If the soldiers sent out could not capture those high grounds, but let the soldiers and horses on the high ground eat them, wouldn't his main force be exposed to the attack on his belly and back? ”

Gao Yunce, who was beside Lu Lihua, looked at what was happening outside the city, and asked continuously with a puzzled face.

"Maybe their scouts knew the number of people we had arranged on the high ground, so they dared to do so boldly, but it did violate the art of war. It's like bypassing Huangyin to attack Yaoping, they're a little too risky. ”

An Moran on the side obviously also saw Rong Jun's unreasonable approach, so after Gao Yunce finished speaking, he guessed unconfidently.

"No, if the Rong army has an army of 400,000 at this time and has plenty of food and grass, then they divide 200,000 troops to surround Huangyin, and it is not impossible for them to attack Yaoping with another 200,000 horses. It's just that doing so is nothing more than taking a Yaoping City, and it doesn't make any sense at all. Gao Yunce replied to An Moran after listening to his words.

"Also, Yaoping has been breached, and Duke Qin will go to Mo County, and now the core of my Hedong County is the place between Tianxing and Hualin Mountains, and these cities near Yaoping will be lost if they are lost. As long as the yellow yin is there, they can occupy the unstable. Besides, the battle line is too long, how can the food and grass of the 200,000 army be guaranteed?

So in my opinion, this Lin Xu is definitely too arrogant, he should think that our soldiers and horses stationed on the high ground outside the city are vulnerable, so he will do such an unwise thing to eat all the high ground at the same time. ”
