A few days ago, he was busy arranging for officials from all over the country to meet the Son of Heaven, and he had no time to ask about specific military affairs, so he should seize the time today and set the plan as soon as possible.

According to the information obtained so far, Chen's army is attacking Xuyi and Shanyang, while Wei Chi Youqi, who has retreated to Zhongli, is gathering the rout, strengthening the city defenses, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Although the casualties on the surface are very heavy, in fact, many soldiers have disappeared, not necessarily killed, captured, surrendered, or may be panicked when retreating and do not know where to run, which will appear after a while.

These scattered officers and men have only lost their baggage, but their combat effectiveness is still there, and once they are reunited, they will be able to enter into battle immediately, so it is necessary to find out the actual casualties as soon as possible and take corresponding countermeasures.

But this is a headache for Yu Chiyou, and what Wei Chidun has to consider is the overall situation.

Chen Jun went north, which means that Chen Guo and Yuwen are united, so the strategy set by Wei Chidun before is completely ineffective, and the next step is to choose to stabilize the Huaishui line, solve the hanging gourd first, or reverse the order?

Wei Chidun didn't think that Chen Guo was a real threat to the opponent, even if the other party succeeded in a sneak attack on Guangling, he also thought that this was the other party's return to the light, Chen Shubao, the son of Chen Guo, was a faint king, and no matter how good the generals of the Chen army were, sooner or later they would be harmed by their own monarch and be tied.

Although the Chen army succeeded in the sneak attack on Guangling, it seems that it has the potential to take Huainan completely, but it is not so easy to capture the important Huainan towns of Shanyang, Xuyi, and Zhongli in a short period of time.

Wei Chidun thought that it was better for him to solve the hanging gourd first, but Yuwen Wen guarded the hanging gourd so that he lost his temper, and he couldn't let a large number of soldiers gather to waste time on the hanging gourd, but he sat and watched the smoke rise in Huainan.

The situation was constantly changing, so it was necessary to respond differently in time according to the occupation, and Wei Chi decided to mobilize the cavalry to get the idle cavalry moving.

The hanging gourd had been surrounded by him like an iron bucket, and the cavalry siege was useless, and now, a new enemy appeared, and the cavalry just happened to attack, filing the opponent's sharpness.

Zhiguang City, Gwangju Prefecture, occupied by the Yuwen clan, had reinforcements arriving not long ago, the strength was about five or six thousand, mainly infantry, and the Yangzhou army besieging the city confronted it for a few days, and retreated on the order of Captain Chi Dan.

The main force of the Yangzhou army returned to Shouchun to assist Wei Chi Youqi in stabilizing the situation in Huainan, while the enemy army in Guangcheng was solved by the cavalry sent by Wei Chi Dan.

The enemy army that reinforces Guangcheng, judging by the banner it played, should be the Tiger Forest Army of Yuwenwen, the king of Xiyang, this is Yuwenwen's private army, it seems that it is the first step to reinforce Guangcheng, in preparation for the siege of the hanging gourd.

The bottom of the Hulin Army, Wei Chi Xuan probably knew that this army was mainly infantry, and the combat was also based on foot combat, relying on spears of astonishing length to form formations, and consume the opponent on the battlefield, and then attack after the opponent was exhausted.

This kind of tactics was obviously made because of Yuwenwen's lack of horses, and in the area around Hanchu in Shannan, it was quite useful to rely on the vertical and horizontal terrain of the water network, and it was okay to bully and bully the Chen army, which was not strong in combat and had insufficient cavalry.

When they came to the plains, in the face of the opponent with superior cavalry, the army, which mainly fought on foot, could not chase after winning the battle, and could only watch the opponent gather the rout and retreat calmly; If you lose the battle, you can't run on four legs on two legs, and you won't be able to run away until the last one.

So what is the idea of this army running to the city of light?

Defending the city is a waste, because ordinary young and strong soldiers can also defend the city, and the result of Wei Chi Dan's discussion with the generals is that the appearance of the Hulin Army is a precursor to the main force of the Shannan army.

After several months of rest, the Shannan army, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of winning the first battle of Tongguan, wanted to take the initiative to attack Henan and relieve the siege of the hanging gourd.

According to the scout's report, the Hulin Army, which is mainly based on infantry formations, should have three or four thousand troops, plus other auxiliary armies, with a total of about five or six thousand soldiers and horses, and they may use Guangcheng as a base to attack outward, as a bait to attract officers and cavalry to fight, and create conditions for the main force of the Shannan army to attack.

The combat characteristics of the Hulin army are probably more suitable for forming a formation against the cavalry in the plains, and the dry food it carries can support about ten days and a half months, when the imperial army besieging the hanging gourd sent cavalry to the southeast to attack this army, the main force of the Shannan army happened to go north out of Tongbai Mountain and enter Pingyang, Shenzhou Prefecture.

Pingyang and Guangcheng, one in the west and the other in the east, Wei Chidun judged that this was the tactic of Yuwen's Shengdong attacking the west, and using the Hulin Army's "Shengdong" to cooperate with the main force to "attack the west".

Shenzhou Pingyang is under the control of the Yuwen clan, but if its main force crosses Tongbai Mountain from Anzhou into Pingyang, it needs to take a narrow mountain road, once the official army finds such signs and sends cavalry soldiers to Pingyang outside the city, then the main force coming from the mountain is likely to be blocked in the mountain and unable to enter the flat ground to open up the formation.

Therefore, the enemy's tactic is to use the Hulin Army to attract the attention of the cavalry of the official army and buy time for its main force to enter Pingyang in Shenzhou smoothly.

Anlu to Pingyang, across the Tongbai Mountains, although the mountain road is narrow and crooked, it is not easy to walk, but only from the distance point of view, it is the closest road for the Shannan army to go to the Hanging Gourd, Yu Wenming wants to relieve the siege of the Hanging Gourd in the short term to save Yuwenwen, and it is the fastest to attack from Pingyang.

Judging from Chen Guo's sneak attack on Guangling, Wei Chidun judged that these two forces had become embarrassed, and tried to attack Lianghuai and Henan at the same time.

The Yuwen clan sent the main force to relieve the siege of the Hanging Gourd, using it as a base to attack Henan, and Chen Guo sneaked up on Guangling, and used it as a base to attack Lianghuai, this idea is very good, and there is a momentum of sitting on the ground to share the spoils.

However, it is ridiculous that two dogs want to share the meat in front of the tiger!

Wei Chidun thought so, Yuwen and Chen Guo were ready to make a move, and they made a lot of progress, and after experiencing the initial anger, he was relieved.

The official army besieged the hanging gourd for several months, which made people very aggrieved, like a fierce tiger, unable to bite a hedgehog, and it was when the group was spinning, suddenly two dogs ran out...

Chen's army is nested in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wei Chidun will be helpless for a while, and Yuwen's army is nested in Shannan, and Wei Chidun will be helpless for a while, and now both sides have taken the initiative to attack to send him to death, he really can't ask for it.

In the past few months, most of these cavalry have been scattered in various states and counties to relieve the pressure on the supply of grain and grass, and the cavalry participating in the siege is only a part of it.

He had ordered the cavalry of the prefectures and counties to assemble, and in a few days he could assemble more than 10,000 cavalrymen, each of whom was equipped with a horse to gallop freely in the land of Henan and Lianghuai, and any army that tried to engage him in the wilderness would only be defeated.

Even the Tiger Forest Army of Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen is no exception.

Wei Chidun was discussing the next deployment with the generals, and messengers came one after another to report the emergency military situation, the first military information came from Shenzhou: outside the city of Pingyang, Shenzhou, the enemy army began to drive away the official army rangers.

The second military intelligence came from Gwangju: the enemy army in Gwangseong had the intention of moving northward in a big way, and it seemed that they were going to attack Song Pyeong, the governor of Siju Prefecture.

The dynamics of the enemy army were as he expected, and Wei Chi and the generals were all happy, but then he fell into deep thought: Could this be too coincidental?
