The two main generals, one died and the other fled. This Jin army, which had an overproportionate proportion of recruits, soon collapsed.

"Herald!"

"The subordinates are here."

"The effective resistance of the enemy has stopped, and the light cavalry is dispatched, shouting loudly, those who surrender on their knees will not die!"

"Whoa!"

"Geng joins the army."

"Da Sima, Geng Teng is here."

"After the battle, give you three thousand men, count the battlefield, and treat the wounded."

"Subordinates receive orders."

"Director Meng."

"The Emperor is here."

"Send scouts and go south to find out about Jiexiu. Well, I made an agreement with Guowei to meet today, but this meeting is almost over...... Scouts were also sent to find the troops of the right general. ”

The emperor here was about to respond, and a scout over there had already galloped over: "Report~~!" Great Sima, ladies and gentlemen, I just received a report from the scout sent by General You. General You's troops encountered the main force led by Du Yuankai, a pseudo-young Fu of the Jin thief, thirty miles southeast of this place this morning, and the two armies had already begun to fight! ”

Speaking of which, Wang Jun and Pang Ding complained that Du Zhen had really wronged Du Yu if he didn't come to the rescue: there are more than 20,000 wounded soldiers in their hands, and they can't be completely left behind, right? Behind them, Huo Zai's father and son in Jiexiu City have at least more than 40,000 troops to dispatch, and it is not so easy to withdraw in front of the enemy. It only took Du Yuankai less than three days to do all this, and then quickly led the army north to meet Wang Jun and others. Arguably well enough.

It's a pity that he was not very lucky, and in the process of marching north, he happened to run into Zhao Yi led by Zhao Yi, who was also 30,000 Han troops who went north.

At this time, the troops in Du Pre's hands were 60,000, and just looking at the piles were much more than Zhao Yi's troops. But Zhao Yi knew that his brother was besieging and annihilating Wang Jun's 30,000 people at this time, so although he knew that he was invincible, he still bravely lined up and blocked in front of Du Pre-army.

"Guowei's soldiers should be much less than Du Yuankai." After hearing the scout's report, Guan Yi also became anxious. But it's useless to be anxious, although the overall situation on the battlefield here has been decided, there is still a moment before it is completely over. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to send troops on a large scale to support Zhao Yi, otherwise the good situation will be reversed.

And what makes Guan Yi the most troublesome is that he doesn't have a formed cavalry in his hands now!

Ji Han now has a total of 300,000 standing soldiers, of which 70,000 are cavalry. This percentage is already very high. Not to mention that Ji Han now has two thousand heavy cavalry with frighteningly high maintenance costs.

Of the 70,000 cavalry, 10,000 stayed in Longxi to ensure that the Yongliang alien race would not have any careful thoughts. 40,000 followed Jiang Wei in Youzhou. The other 20,000 were contained by Liu Yuan in Xihe. So in the other units of the Han army, of course, there are many war horses, but most of them are used by generals, scouts, and heralds. Formed cavalry units, there was not a single one.

"Give the right general an order, the battle on this officer's side will be completely over in half an hour at most. So that he does not have to be reluctant, shrink his forces, and fight and retreat towards the location of his own officer. ”

"Whoa!"

"Come back!"

"What else does Da Sima command?"

"This is the head of Pang Ding, the general of the Jin army, you take him, and when you get to the battlefield, General Right will know what to do."

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire!"

Watching the scout leave in a hurry, the generals of the Han army next to him were also in a hurry, and a straight person like Ju Ning suddenly became angry: "What are the father and son of the army commander Shi doing?" Du Yuankai withdrew his troops from Jiexiu, so he should lead his army out of the city! You don't have to fight in the field, just hang it from a distance! In this way, as soon as the reinforcements from General You's side arrived, they could flank Du Yuankai back and forth! ”

"Eh~~ Boding, be cautious." Waving his hand to stop Ju Ning's roar: "Uncle Fang is not a cowardly person, he didn't lead the army to follow Du Yuankai closely, there must be other reasons." ”

……

Rewind the clock to two days ago.

"Qi Qi Changshi, early this morning, our army's lookout post reported that all the Jin troops under the city have been withdrawn!"

"Oh?" As soon as they got up, Huo Zai's father and son, who were eating in the morning, heard the news, and they didn't even change their clothes, and hurriedly ran up to the city tower.

After confirming that the Jin army Dazhai was indeed empty, Huo Zai fell into trouble instead.

There is no doubt that the Jin army withdrew all its troops when Jiexiu County was crumbling, which is certainly not a suspicious strategy. Instead, the battle situation in the vicinity has changed significantly, and the most likely thing is that Guan Yi's main force has returned.

So, what should this Han army in Jiexiu County do now?

"Flying Bear, how many troops can our army mobilize now?"

"More than 41,000 people! In addition, there are more than 7,000 soldiers and civilians of our army and more than 2,000 local people in the city. ”

"Hmm......" Huo turned around after pacing a few steps repeatedly with his hands behind his back: "Pass the order, send scouts, and follow the Jin army brigade all the way to see how they behave." All the way straight to Pingzhou, to see if he could find Da Sima's troops on the road. ”

"Whoa!"

"Father, what do you think?"

"Jiexiu, after all, is the key to our army's grain transshipment. Therefore, even if the Jin army retreats on all fronts, we still have to leave a strong army to defend here after all. In this way, no more than 20,000 of our troops can be transferred out of the city for mobility. ”

"What my father said is very true, but if we only send 20,000 people, we will not be able to fight the retreating Jin army in the field. The only thing that can be done is to hang the other party from a distance, and after the main force of Da Sima comes over, the two sides will attack! ”

"Hmph, Du Yuankai is not a mediocre general, how can he tolerate us hanging behind him for a long time. As a father, if Du Yuankai goes south and west, we will send 20,000 troops to capture Sheep's Head Mountain! ”

"Hiss~~~ Father is so bold. If you start with Sheep's Head Mountain, then Shangdang County is what I have. It's just that the father, the retreat of the Jin army will inevitably lead to a decisive battle against Da Sima. At this time, we did not go west to support Da Sima, but went east to Sheep's Head Mountain. This big Sima has a dissatisfaction in his heart because of this......"

"Humph! How can I think of these things when I am young! Listen, my Han has been able to deal with the Wei and Jin dynasties and Eastern Wu with weak national strength for decades, not by these vain things. It's all about hard work! If Shangguan Gao is unhappy first in everything he does, then my Han will die a long time ago! ”

That's not what the child meant. The child is saying that the Jin army has more than 100,000 people, even if it has suffered a lot of losses under the city in the past month or so, how can there be at least 80,000 or 90,000 people? Da Sima coped with it......"

"It doesn't matter. There were already 70,000 people along the way, so Liu Yuanhai was just a barbarian, how much loss could he cause to our army? Besides, our army still has 30,000 troops in Luliang Mountain to assist in transporting grain. Together, the two armies are 100,000 men. And as you know, our army's new gun formation has been trained, and all of them are equipped with plate armor. Even if Du Yuankai had 100,000 people fighting against Da Sima, he would definitely be defeated. Since the day the first emperor raised his army, my Han Dynasty has always won more with less. In the case of equal troops, who are any of the generals of my Han who are afraid? ”

And the father said so, and the boy went down at once to prepare his troops. Is my father going to fetch Sheep's Head Mountain himself? ”

"Of course, the city is up to you. You have to remember that Jiexiu is a granary, and you can't afford to lose it. ”

"Well, the child understands, I wish my father success!"
