At the same time, Han He sat in Feicheng, Tanma kept coming the news of the Xian army, before Han He expected that the Xian army would attack Duyang, so a few days in advance, taking advantage of the dark, from Feicheng to transfer more than 60,000 garrisons, at the same time the Jin army 50,000 cavalry secretly arrived to the west of Duyang "Shocking Sui", ready to fight with the Xian army.

Feicheng Taishou Mansion:

"General Wang Shuo, you are in charge of Feicheng, the old man fell out of the city overnight, and chose the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Xian army."

"General Han, please rest assured, the last general will not fail in his mission."

"Well, the prince of Jichang is walking with the old man, can His Royal Highness the prince be willing?"

Han He's gaze turned to Ji Chang, who seemed to be fighting like a chicken:

"This son of the world is commanded!"

"Okay, let's go after dark!"

"No!" Everyone spoke in unison.

Han He expected Zhang Jun to fight Du Yang, and he was dividing his troops.

Duyang is located in the east and south of Feicheng, there are three roads from west to east, one is Feicheng, one is Jianyang, Jinyang is north of Feicheng, two days from Feicheng, it is obviously impossible for the Xianjun to occupy Jianyang first. Therefore, there is only one road in the southern primeval forest, and it is a straight line distance, so there is no need to detour.

To the south of the road from Yin Yangcheng to Feicheng, it is covered by a large area of primeval forest, which can avoid being disturbed by cavalry, but the road is not easy to walk, and only the nearby mountain people know the path in and out of the primeval forest.

Of course, Han He knew that there was this primeval forest, and it was extremely difficult to walk, but now that the two roads were taken care of by himself, the Xian army could only take the risk of walking through the primeval forest to Duyang City. Only by taking Duyang City can the supply of Feicheng and other strongholds west of Duyang be cut off.

However, the Xian army must first create the illusion that the army is besieging Feicheng, and then attack Duyang.

In addition, the Xian army's attack on Duyang was not a conjecture out of thin air, and it was necessary for the Xian army to attack Duyang. If it is impossible to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army in the short term, the Xian army will inevitably run out of food and grass, and the army will be in turmoil, so it can only occupy the grain route where Du Yang harasses the Jin army, and then replenish the Xian army itself.

Therefore, although Du Yang is far away from Yin Yangcheng and is behind Feicheng, ordinary people really can't think of fighting Du Yang. But if a person is hungry and crazy, he can really do anything.

So not long after Han He sneaked out of Feicheng at night, Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, led the army to arrive more than 70 miles southeast of Feicheng, and began to divide the troops, he personally led 80,000 people into the forest, leaving only 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to besiege Feicheng.

The reason why all the cavalry was sent to besiege the city was that it was difficult for the cavalry to march in the forest, and second, the Marquis of Ding Yang believed that Han He had nearly 80,000 people to defend the city, but there were not many cavalry in the city.

If the Xian army only used 40,000 infantry to besiege the city, it was possible to be killed by Han He, so all the cavalry was mobilized to besiege the city to deal with Han He's infantry army out of the city. In this way, 20,000 cavalry were responsible for maneuvering the siege of the city, which was enough to offset the Jin army's inability to form a formation of 350,000 infantry troops out of the city.

At the same time, Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, ordered the besieged governor of the Xian army to increase the military tent and increase the stove to confuse the Jin army, once Du Yang was taken, the besieging army could retreat safely under the cover of cavalry. and lured the Jin army to follow the Xian army, who had abandoned the siege, out of the city, and fought a decisive battle with the Jin army west of Duyang.

Of course, after occupying Duyang, you can directly wave the main force to attack Feicheng. But after all, Feicheng has high walls and deep pools, and there are 80,000 defenders, and the 130,000 people of Ding Yang Marquis alone can't be defeated at all, and it can't be captured in two months.

Therefore, the best way was to occupy Duyang, and then withdraw troops from outside Feicheng to lure the Jin army out of the city.

In this way, the Xian army occupied Duyang, even if there was no supply of grain and grass from Yin Yangcheng, the Xian army could still take Duyang as the center, plunder and attack the Jin army's self-sufficiency in the grain route, forcing the Jin army to find a decisive battle with the Xian army.

On the fifth day after Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, raised his troops and left Yinyangcheng, the news of the siege of Feicheng came, and about three days later, the Marquis of Dingyang led the main force out of the primeval forest.

The news from the front kept coming, and Baili Yan, who was sitting in the Taishou Mansion, was like a pin.

This is still a decisive battle since his debut, and the generals on both sides are planning from the air, and there is neither modern satellite reconnaissance nor radio communication, and what happens in the front will only be known in the rear every few days. All the planning and layout of the battle relied heavily on pre-war planning, which made Bailiyan very uncomfortable.

Previously, they were all on the spot, with positive moves, and instant feedback of information. Now hundreds of thousands of miles away, they are all planning and moving, and the capital of planning and moving is very dependent on intelligence, but now the transmission of intelligence can only rely on people, and it is not instant information on the battlefield, which makes Bailiyan quite uncomfortable.

On this day, Zhong Heng, the governor of the right capital, returned to the city with grain, and Bailiyan came up:

"General Zhong Heng, how is the situation in Feicheng, there is news of the army of the Marquis of Dingyang."

"Feicheng is still under siege by our army, and there is no other news for the time being. Colonel Lang Mo didn't find out other news. Zhong Heng asked Bai Liyan rhetorically.

"I haven't found any other information, but I think the defenders of Feicheng are too quiet."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our army of 40,000 besieged the city, even if Han He is trapped in the city, but our army has been besieging the city for several days and has not attacked, Han He will not think of our army to sneak attack Duyang?

Or, Han He was still in the city at this time, and if it was expected that our army would go to attack Duyang, he would definitely know that the number of our army besieging the city was small, and it was very likely that he would go out of the city to fight.

None of this has happened at the moment, and I wonder if Han He has seen through the intentions of our army and led the main force of the Jin army out of the city ahead of schedule. ”

"But even so, Han He led the army to leave before our army besieged the city, and he Han He had to stay behind more than 10,000 people to defend the city, so that Han He had at most 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the main force of Ding Yang Hou was very far behind, and it was difficult to match."

To say that Zhong Heng's judgment is not wrong, the defenders of Feicheng are less than 80,000, even if Han He sees through the strategic intentions of Ding Yang Hou, it is impossible to withdraw all the defenders, at most 50,000 or 60,000 people, 50,000 or 60,000 people obviously can't beat Ding Yang Hou's 80,000 horses, is there any reinforcements?

But the reinforcements can't come for a few days, the cholera in other places has subsided a little, and the Jin army can't draw people, so how can Han He come to help?

In fact, Bailiyan didn't know that when he first arrived at the northern army of Han He, Han He sent 50,000 cavalry south to the border of Jin and Zhiguo. He was a Langzhong at that time, where did he think that he could have today. Taking a step back, hundreds of thousands of people, can you count them with your eyes, and if there are tens of thousands of less, you don't know at all.

After getting to know Zhong Heng again, Bai Liyan went to the camp to eat with her rice bowl. Recently, the amount of food has decreased, and there are many complaints from the soldiers. It's not just because of the lack of food, but many people are forced to be arrested and conscripted.

Many of the Xian soldiers who crossed the river this time were not minors. From the mouths of the people who crossed the river, we can roughly know that last year there was no harvest in Xianguo, not only did there be no harvest in the fields, but because of the civil strife and the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, conscription was carried out everywhere, and the conscription line was reduced from 16 years old to 15 years old, but all men who reached the age of 15 had to be conscripted into the army and serve in hard labor.

Of the 160,000 people who crossed the river this time, 70 percent of the main force of the standing army of the Xian Army was the main force, and the remaining 30 percent were temporarily supplemented conscripts, many of whom were just 16 years old. After Jiang Xianguo, the situation was even worse in the country, with less than half of the army being adults, and more than half of them were under the age of 16, and although the total number of forcibly expanding the army was as high as 200,000, the combat effectiveness could be imagined.

This means that if the Xian army is defeated in this battle in Jiangdong, more than 40 percent of the men over the age of 16 and under the age of 45 in the country will be defeated, and in the next 30 or 50 years, there will be no war in the east of the Jin Dynasty. But then again, in fact, Bai Liyan himself is just sixteen, and he is the most wronged.

After eating, Bai Liyan returned to his independent military tent to sleep.

Since the Xian army crossed the river, a large amount of baggage was able to be hoarded in the city, before the Jin army besieged the city, resulting in serious damage to the facilities in the city, most of the time can only nest in temporary grass huts and hiding soldiers' caves, tents are just luxuries.

As soon as he lay down in the tent, the two soldiers who came in followed were not very old, only sixteen, seventeen or eighteen, but their height was more than half a head shorter than Bai Liyan (Wei Xian). One of them rushed in and said to him:

"You are the school soldier Wei Xian!"

Bai Liyan sat up and glanced at the visitor, a young big-headed soldier.

"What do you have to do?"

"Why can you eat meat, I can't wait!"

"I eat meat?" Bai Liyan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that there was such a thing.

Due to the large number of warships of the Xian army, the method of caisson fishing was also ineffective. In the first few days, there was still a large amount of salted fish in the city that had been pickled and dried in the past two months, but because of the landing of the Xian army, it was all eaten in the first three days, and there was not enough for a meal for more than 100,000 people.

Of course, things are dead, people are alive, you can't caisson fishing, I'll fish by myself. So Bailiyan goes fishing at dusk every day and eats fish at night. The reason why I eat fish at night is because I am afraid that someone will have pink eye and come to the door to find trouble.

Just after lunch, someone immediately came to the door to "ask the teacher for guilt", and came directly to the door.

Thinking for a moment, Bailiyan said:

"The fish are caught by themselves, that's all right."

"Phew, you're a Qi person!"

Hearing this, Bai Liyan was not happy, and stood up suddenly:

"What's wrong with Qiren!"

"You Qi people are all soft eggs and cowards! Afraid of defending the country, afraid of the Jin country, the son of the dead is lying on the head of the Xian country, and he also sent grain to the Jin country, and now he eats our food, you deserve to die. Brothers, these Qi people don't have a good thing, they eat meat behind our backs, and they still eat food in the open, so beat him up for me! ”

"Beat him!"

The person who came raised his arms and exhaled, originally thought it was just two people, but more than a dozen of them poured in one breath, and they were all sixteen or seventeen children who said that they were not big.

Seeing this posture, where did Bailiyan buy it, and with a bang, the sword was unsheathed and blocked in front of his chest:

"I'm a school soldier, give me back off, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Whew!" The leader spat at Bailiyan: "Just you, we're still afraid that you will disagree!" Give it to me! ”

Speaking of hands-on, more than a dozen people rushed up. Bai Liyan saw that the situation was not good, and if she really wanted to do it, it would be a bloodshed. So he decisively turned around and waved his hand, slammed open a gap in the military tent, jumped out, and ran away.

"Qi people coward, chase me!" The young man at the head waved his hand, and everyone followed behind.
