Xu Huang and Ma Lin took away most of the soldiers and horses in Hanoi, and now they are in a bitter battle in Shangdang, and Hanoi's troops are immediately overstretched.

Hanoi Taishou Chang Lin still controls thousands of county soldiers in his hands, if he joins forces with Lu Yi, there are tens of thousands of troops who can deal with the Hebei army led by Yan Liang, but Chang Lin is obviously also wary of Lu Yi, the Hebei general, and is unwilling to hand over all the military power that decided the death of Heyi into the hands of Lu Yi.

"It's better to first control the military officials in the army, such as Ma Play and Zhengu, and then lure Chang Lin into the military camp to discuss military affairs, take the opportunity to capture him, and seize his military power. In this way, tens of thousands of soldiers will fall into our control, and when the time comes, my brother will defend the king of the wilderness, whether to fight or surrender, or to sit and watch the incident, everything will be relied on. ”

After being reminded by Lu Yan, Lu Yi glared at Lu Yan, rubbed his gray beard, and muttered for a long time, but did not respond.

While the two were silent, a sergeant suddenly reported outside the tent that the hussar shogunate had an urgent military order to communicate.

In a few moments, one of the shogunate officials opened the door of the tent and strode into the tent.

"Hussar General's Order!"

Neither of them was in a hurry to receive the order, and after seeing the person who came, he scolded even more:

"You little cub, when you see us fathers, you dare to put up a shogunate shelf!"

"Hehe, uncle, isn't this a military order like a mountain, don't talk about personal affairs, you used to teach us that-"

was yelled at by the koji, koji guang still couldn't help but shrink his head, and said with a wry smile with some timidity and embarrassment.

The koji actor did not give up, and sprinkled a belly of stuffiness on the juniors.

"After a while, I learned to talk back to my parents, huh? What shogunate military order, didn't the hussar general lead the army to aid Henan, where did the shogunate military order come from? ”

"Alright. Say less. ”

Koji Yoshiki motioned for the scolding Koji to stop his irritable noise, and after checking the Fu Xin, he and Koji checked the letter and cut off the intact sealing mud with his own hands, and took a quick look at the shogunate's military orders.

"What, what did the shogunate's military orders say?"

Lu Yan looked at Lu Yi's unhappy face, and it was not easy to guess the content of the military order, so he endured it for a while, and had to ask in a low voice.

When Lu Yi heard this, he raised the military order in his hand, looked at his brother and nephew, and said with a smile:

"This battle can be fought!"

···

A day later, a Hebei army was marching through Hanoi with its banners waving, invincible all the way, as if entering a no-man's land.

Yan Liang, the chief general in the army, was in his thirties, with thick hair and a tiger's waist, and he was a strong and aggressive military general in the army.

He sat firmly on horseback, whip in one hand, pergola in the other, and looked into the distance, absentmindedly listening to the military reports of several military officers who followed him on horseback.

After looking at it for a while, perhaps because his neck was sore, Yan Liang casually put away the horsewhip, untied the tie, took off the hood neatly, and wiped his wet hair with his battle robe by the way, and muttered in his mouth, this autumn tiger is still there, and he has only been marching during the day for a while, and he has been exposed to stinky sweat again.

After finishing the matter at hand, Yan Liang turned his head and glanced at the left and right military officials, and asked:

"Where did you just say it again?"

The military officer riding next to him did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly said:

"I just said that now the army has arrived at the close-range shooting dogs, but the scouts can report that the soldiers and horses of Lu Yi have withdrawn, leaving only an empty camp."

"Hmph, I fled again, in order to avoid the general's soldiers, this righteous old man fled again and again, it seems that he wants to escape to Yewang City and join forces to defend it."

"General, do you want to rest in this garrison?"

"No need." Yan Liang waved his hand and said loudly: "Speed up the march, and strive to rush to camp outside Yewang City today, the military situation is like fire, and there is no room for delay." The general had already promised the general that he would conquer this Hanoi county before the winter moon arrived. ”

"This, but General Jiang Zhonglang of the rear army has just sent a fast horse to tell the general not to rash the enemy, so as not to fall into the ambush of the enemy general Lu Yi."

One of the officers hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Hehe, this Jiang Yiqu is really abrasive, obviously he just doesn't want to break the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and he is afraid of being ambushed by the enemy general, he said this once when the general captured Ji and Gonggong, and when he won the Jiajia and cultivated the martial arts, he sent someone to say it again, how many times did he make noise before and after."

After sending someone back, the army told him that he didn't need to say much about the strategy of how to use the army, and he, the guilty general who made meritorious contributions, would guard himself and guard the city and grain road for the general. If there is a mistake, hum, don't blame Ben for turning his face and being ruthless, and establish a military law! ”

"No."

Hearing the killing intent faintly revealed in Yan Liang's words, the soldier who had just spoken trembled, and hurriedly took the order to turn his horse away.

Watching the military officials ride away, Yan Liang snorted coldly before putting on the hood again.

Regardless of Yuan Yan's mischief, the northeastern corner of Hanoi was still firmly controlled by Yuan Shao, which was also the front line for the Hebei army to defend against enemy forces and invade Hanoi.

However, the Hebei generals in charge of the Hanoi front have changed several groups of people in a row, from Lu Yi to Chun Yuqiong, and then to Zhang He and Jiang Yiqu, in view of the fact that Jiang Yiqu used troops in Hanoi last time and was defeated by Lu Yi in Gongxian County, although Yuan Shao also allowed Jiang Yiqu to make meritorious contributions in the current war, but he was removed from the post of chief general in the army, and the general Yan Liang should be the chief general.

As the new commander in chief who took office and was aggressive, Yan Liang had long been disgusted with Jiang Yiqu who was in the way, and after Chaoge sent troops, he was directly transferred to the rear army to guard the grain road with a military order, and he also suppressed the lieutenant generals and colonels who were originally attached to Jiang Yiqu, and the confidants and military officials he brought were in charge of military affairs.

At present, Yuan Shaoqin led a large army to besiege Jinyang City, and Hebei soldiers and horses also invaded Shangdang, Yan Liang was unwilling to be unwilling, and he had long wanted to seize Hanoi County first, so as to consolidate his position in the army at the head of the generals in Hebei.

In his opinion, the combined forces of Yuan and Cao attacked at the same time along the north and south of the Great River, and it was inevitable to seize Sanhe.

What's more, he had already received a military report a few days ago that Yan Xing in Guanzhong had sworn to the east and was marching to Henan, preparing to rescue Luoyang City and meet the invading Cao army.

As for Lu Yi, I heard that there were only a few thousand soldiers under his command and few cavalry, Yan Liang thought very highly of himself, and this time he led 20,000 cavalry to come, so he would not take him in his eyes to avoid the battle and retreat.

"Newspaper—"

Yan Liang rode a high-headed horse, and when he was looking forward to his own pride, a former army official came over with a horse.

"General, the enemy army has been spotted ahead."

"Didn't you say that the enemy forces that shot the dogs had already withdrawn?"

Yan Liang frowned when he heard this, and the military officer hurriedly explained:

"Yes, it is the enemy soldiers and horses encountered in the field, the enemy camp is just an empty camp, and the enemy soldiers and horses have indeed withdrawn."

"How many centaurs?"

"Two or three hundred foot soldiers, under the banner of enemy generals."

"The front army pursues, sends cavalry to outflank, be sure to annihilate the enemy army, don't let them escape."

"No."

The former military officer hurriedly took the order to leave, and when the other military officials saw him leave, they couldn't help but say to Yan Liang with caution in their center:

"General, could it be Lu Yi's plan to lure the enemy?"

"Haha, this is just the strategy of the old man of Lu Yi, the previous time he set up suspicious formations in Gongxian, Xiuwu and other places, wanting to delay the advance of our army, and now he has to repeat the old tricks, see how Ben will capture his soldiers first this time, and then break his city."

"Besides, this place is Hanoi, not Bingzhou, at a glance, it is all a smooth road, where can Lu Yi ambush the soldiers to take advantage of me, what the general is afraid of is that he will not come, if he dares to come, he will just come to die, hahaha!"

Yan Liang lectured the dissenting military officials in a few words, and laughed proudly.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

The water network in Hanoi is dense, and the tributaries of Qinshui and Hyunshui are intricate, just when the cavalry sent by Yan Liang was about to catch up with the enemy's foot soldiers, they found that the enemy foot soldiers who had retreated in a hurry crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the end of the wooden bridge on the small river was demolished when they turned around.

The pursuing cavalry could not find another way to cross the river in a short time, so they had to send scouts to test the depth of the river, and after confirming that the men and horses could wade across the river, they hurriedly drove their horses into the river from the low bank, ready to wade through the water, and continued the pursuit.

But when the men and horses had just waded into the middle stream, the enemy soldiers who had fled far away turned back again, and there were hundreds of more soldiers behind them, many of them carrying bows and crossbows, standing on the shore and aiming at the Hebei cavalry wading in the water, and began to fire in an orderly manner.

"Damn it, rush ashore!"

The Hebei cavalry, which could not advance or retreat, was attacked by arrows on the opposite bank, and there was no effective means of countermeasures, so they could only motivate each other, risking the arrows on their heads, speeding up their horses and wanting to rush ashore.

But as the distance got closer, the arrows of the enemy foot soldiers on the shore became more and more dense. After a while, the water of the small river was also stained red by the blood of the Hebei cavalry, and occasionally the brave knights rushed ashore on horseback, and were also stabbed to death by rows of spears, and the Hebei cavalry behind suffered heavy losses and were driven back into the river.

"Retreat, retreat."

At this time, the Hebei cavalry, which had been frustrated in the attack, also realized that something was wrong, there were many crossbowmen on the opposite bank, and their own knights were subject to the river and the riverbank, so they could not give full play to the advantage of the cavalry charge, and if they continued to attack, they would only increase casualties in vain, so they could only hang their heads and curse against the rain of arrows, and scrambled to flee back to the shore.

After the wet men and horses fled ashore, the two-legged pursuit of the infantry of the front army finally arrived, and they saw that the enemy soldiers on the opposite bank were only seven or eight hundred, and there were no cavalry, and the intention of despising the enemy rose, and in the sound of the command of the military officials, two or three thousand foot soldiers of the front army rolled up their clothes and armor, held shields, and jumped into the river in unison like ducks that had just descended the river, ready to form a formation, wading into the water and storming ashore.
