Chapter 87
Ran Fei soon received the news that the Yan army was frequently mobilized and assembled on the Yanqi border. Linzi in the south is also mobilizing heavy troops, although Ran Fei doesn't believe that the Hou family is so ashamed to collude with Yan Guo, but he knows in his heart that the Hou family is a family that will do whatever it takes to achieve its goals, and in order to ensure their rule and interests, this kind of thing is done.
Ran Fei had no choice but to start ordering the deployment, Yuan Qi was in charge of the north, Zhang Dali was in charge of the south, and he was in charge of Jiyang, and informed the north: After Linzi, the family plotted to the throne, framed the prince, and now colluded with the Northern Yan to capture our north, for justice and peace, my northern marshal Ran Fei decided to block the troops, cover the water and the earth, and fight against their gang of bad guys.
Although this sentence was simple, it ignited the fighting spirit of the northern residents, and all departments did their best to operate, first of all, Yuan Qi used the trick of luring the enemy into the north and cutting off its supplies, dividing the Yan army into two parts, and then holding on, and the vanguard of the Yan army failed to break out of the encirclement after several attacks. As time went on, they experienced severe shortages of food and grass, and had to rely on tree bark and wild vegetables for their livelihood.
In the south, Zhang Dali laid out the defense line, and when he saw Linzi's ships, he fired a salvo with rockets, because he had made perfect preparations before the war, the arrows and oil were enough, so that Linzi's troops were damaged a lot, but Liang Wenbing was not a fool, on a rainy day, braved the wind and rain to take the troops to forcibly cross the river, because Liang Wenbing's soldiers were divided into two routes, a feint attack and a main attack, which disrupted Zhang Dali's deployment and allowed Liang Wenbing to successfully land on the shore.
But Zhang Dali's iron cavalry was not bragging, and quickly rushed to the battlefield, and part of Liang Wenbing's landing force became a live target for the iron cavalry.
After losing the first battle, Liang Wenbing was scolded by the head of the Hou family, Liang Wenbing didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he had already sold the seeds of betrayal.
In the north, the trapped Yan army prepared a full meal of wild vegetables and tree bark for the soldiers, which was to prepare for the final breakthrough. Yuan Qi stood on the mountain in the distance, saw the other party's smoke curling all of a sudden, and budgeted, this should be the main force of the Yan army cooking, and according to the situation of the Yan army before, Yuan Qi saw the other party's intentions.
Yuan Qi ordered to mobilize crossbowmen and hide in the woods to the east of the Yan army.
Soon, 10,000 Yan soldiers stood in front of their commander with the determination to die, and with the commander's order, they forcibly assaulted towards the north. The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was in the rear.
But unexpectedly, the 3,000 cavalry who took the lead were not hindered much at all and rushed out of the encirclement, but the remaining more than 7,000 infantry were stopped at the mouth of the valley by the Qi army that suddenly appeared. The overwhelming crossbow arrows were shot down, and then, the Qi army blew the horn of the cavalry charge, and countless cavalry condescendingly rushed towards the Yan army.
Three hours later, when Chen Jin was standing at the mouth of the valley with the head of the commander of the Yan army, the Yan army, who was trying to rush in to save people, began to retreat.
The next day, Yan Jun sent a truce letter to Yuan Qi.
Then, 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry went south to support according to Ran Fei's order.
Due to the successful login of Liang Wenbing, the situation in the north has been stalemate, you can't eat me and I can't eat you on both sides, although Liang Wenbing suffered heavy damage, but Ran Fei's side lacks troops, otherwise how could there be such a situation.
Liang Wenbing's southern part dispatched more than 30,000, Linzi's main force was 120,000, while Ran Fei's side was only about 70,000, and it also included 20,000 children between the ages of 12 and 16, and the disparity in strength was very great.
Repelled the Yan army, Yuan Qi left 10,000 people in the north, and the remaining 8,000 people all went south to support, Liang Wenbing seized the beachhead, and Zhang Dali could not repel the opponent after several shocks, so that with the main force of Linzi having a place to land, the situation will be more severe.
At night, everyone gathered in the account to discuss strategy, and Zhang Dali suggested a decisive battle in advance, and Liang Wenbing's troops took advantage of the fact that Linzi's main force did not come to wipe him out. But if you kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself, even if you repel Liang Wenbing, the main force of Linzi is still there, if Liang Wenbing fights to the death and suffers heavy losses, then how can you resist Linzi's troops?
The military thought for a long time, and finally came up with a plan, using the contradiction between Liang Wenbing and Linzi, first attacking Liang Wenbing's troops with all their might, Liang Wenbing suffered heavy damage, and the Hou family was afraid of his strength, so they would definitely let it go, and when Liang Wenbing's people could not be replenished, they would be estranged from Linzi. When the time comes, if we divide the troops, we will definitely be able to win a big victory.
Everyone pondered for a moment and felt that this idea was very good, and a burst of praise made the military advisor a little embarrassed.
"Hmmm! Good point! ”
"It's not a loss to be a military advisor."
"Our brains!"
But soon, everyone stopped complimenting and began to ponder how to implement it.
"In my opinion, so." Ran Fei spoke, and everyone stopped talking.
"Zhang Dali, led three hundred elite cavalry, hid in this forest in the north of Liang Wenbing, and then launched a surprise attack to cut off the inland troops and coastal troops of Liang Wenbing, but because the junction of the two divisions is a plain, so the cavalry alone can't stop for long, at this time, the heavy armored soldiers transferred by Yuan Qi from the north quickly pressed up and prevented them from converging."
When Zhang Dali heard this, he immediately became anxious, "This is not good, our elite troops are the elites drawn from various troops, and the horses are all good horses imported from the north, although it is a plain area, but the heavy armor moves slowly, and we have to carry out a surprise attack, if it comes slowly, then our three hundred elites may be wiped out!" ”
Ran Fei: "But if you increase the number of troops, it is likely to be exposed." That's the only way, you go up first, if you can't beat it, and then come back, we'll make another plan. ”
Zhang Dali knew very well in his heart that if he could really support the arrival of the heavy armor soldiers tomorrow, then he would give Liang Wenbing a heavy blow, and then Linzi would be scattered, but these three hundred people were carefully selected by Ran Fei from all the troops in the north, each of them had the courage of ten thousand people, the elite of the elite, cut off Liang Wenbing's supply line, he was not a fool, and he would definitely fight back wildly.
