Chapter Eighty-Six: The Eve of Ruoxian
Ruoxian, now most of the main force of the Qin army has arrived here, and the Qin army camp is less than ten miles away from the Ruoxian city wall.
Even, the two armies could see the curling smoke rising from each other's camps, but because of the sudden arrival of the Qin army, not only the Shouwang army defending the city panicked...... Even the Qin army, as the attacker, was terrified!
The courage of the lone army to go deep and actually make a big show in the territory of the enemy army...... It's just like recklessness.
However, the leader of the Qin army was Lin Yuyan, the prince of Qin, who single-handedly created the miracle of the first battle of Jiangxia Xiantao, and the generals gradually let go of their inner uneasiness.
Lin Yuyan stood in the tent of the Chinese military camp, and Gongzixin was also extremely obedient to this sixth brother because of his exploits in Jiangxia.
Although he was very optimistic about the performance of this sixth brother, this march was a taboo for soldiers, and the lone army was in the enemy territory with great fanfare.
"Sixth brother, the Red Turban Army really won't fight?!"
Seeing the worried look on the second brother's face, Lin Yuyan also replied nonchalantly: "No, at least not in the near future...... However, I am afraid that if the Shouwang Army has reached some kind of agreement with the Nabei Wang Army and the Ji Shan Army, it may not be ......"
Hearing this, Gongzixin's face was even more worried, "In that case, why don't we withdraw our troops?!" ”
"Withdraw?!" Lin Yuyan looked back at Gongzi's letter, and then said: "Now it is not only the army of Great Qin who is in a dilemma, the taste of the Shouwang army, the Northern Wang army, and the Jishan army may not be good, if they leave Ruoxian County at this time, wouldn't it be cheaper for them......"
"But ......" Childe Xin wanted to say something.
However, he was directly blocked by Lin Yuyan: "If the second brother intends to withdraw the army, why don't you withdraw the army first?" ”
"This ......" Gongzi Xin, who had learned from the past, also laughed dryly, but did not respond, but said with a pretentious gesture towards Lin Yuyan: "Don't say much about this matter, even if it is a war, my brother has decided to stay by Yuyan's side to boost the morale of our army!" ”
It seems...... You really know that withdrawing troops without permission will affect morale. 〗
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also sneered in her heart.
However, at this time, it was intolerable to make any mistakes, and Lin Yuyan still had to throw out some news that was beneficial to his own army, so that his second brother could rest assured.
"Now is not the time...... However, if the county is in the hands of our army, it will not be more than seven days at the latest, and by that time, it must be that the Shouwang army has already made contact with the Najishan army and the northern king army and reached some compromise......"
Hearing the words of the sixth brother, Gongzixin was also a second monk who was puzzled, why did he wait until the Shou Wang Army and the Ji Shan Army and the Northern Wang Army got in touch before seizing the Ruoxian checkpoint, isn't this a self-defeating way?
But the first half of the sentence ...... It only takes seven days to capture the Ruoxian checkpoint, which is probably a dream!
Gongzixin's line of sight looked out, the city wall, through the pieces of camp tents, can vaguely see the city wall of Ruoxian, the towering city wall into the eye, like a wild ancient wall.
The Deng royal family as the Han water princess, by the Ji Zhou royal family when the first seal to the south of the county, only occupied the periphery of Xiangcheng, Ruoxian as an important checkpoint in the south of Xiangcheng, is an important checkpoint for the Deng people to defend the barbarians in the land of Jingchu, hundreds of years of Deng people built, has already gradually become this Ruoxian checkpoint into a seemingly impossible to conquer the fortified city!
A fortified city that is taking advantage of the mountain to rise can be conquered in just seven days, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
But the words came out of the mouth of his sixth brother, which made Gongzixin think a little.
It may not be true...... 〗
Obsessed with the record of Xiantao's first battle, Gongzixin has an almost stubborn trust in this sixth brother.
The battle of Jiangxia has already allowed me to catch up with Lin Yuren, if it is really as the sixth brother said, conquer Ruoxian County and get in touch with Fandi, I will definitely be able to surpass Lin Yuren's straw bag! 〗
Thinking of this, Gongzixin seemed to remember something, and then glanced at the sixth brother Yuyan casually, and his expression became very solemn.
After all, at the end of the year, the grain of Daqin transported from the ancient Tang Road was slowly gathering in Nanjun, although it was a big circle, and countless grains were consumed on the way, but Lin Yuyan still transported the grain from the interior of Daqin, and the border army supplied it, so that the originally rich inventory of Shanglin Yuan suddenly bottomed out.
Lin Yuyan naturally knew the loss, but he had to do it, after all, Jiangxia's food was already overdrawn with people's rations, and this stall was in the severe cold of the New Year, and if Jiangxia had to bear nearly 30,000 people's military rations, I am afraid that it would rise sharply.
There was no way, on the one hand, Lin Yuyan asked the old follower doctor Ji Liang to be responsible for organizing the old followers to go to Daze to collect grain and grass, and even went to hunt Tulong as food, but on the other hand, he asked people to return to the territory of Qin State and call the grain and grass of Shanglin Yuan.
And the grain transport team that was transferred from the territory of Great Qin had already brought some news that made the Qin army feel pressured.
The Jin Han clan has mobilized troops against the northern border of Great Qin!
Go on the scamp!
Lin Yuyan clenched his fists, although as early as in the territory of Great Qin, Han Kui had informed the Jin Han clan of the prediction of the Great Qin movement earlier, and now it has come true, which made Lin Yuyan a little indignant.
Although there are two Great Qin border armies in the north, the Nanyang Army and the Fangcheng Army, for the Great Qin, which is currently facing the military disaster in the south, the use of troops in the north and south is really stretched!
"Who did Wancheng send to lead the troops?" Lin Yuyan asked.
"The king has already ordered Lord Han Kui to be the general, ordered 3,000 men and horses, and cooperated with the Nanyang Army and the Fangcheng Army to organize the defense of the northern border."
"Hanzi?"
Lin Yuyan didn't expect that his father actually sent Han Kui as a general, and he would enter the prime minister, although it was the standard for famous ministers in this era, but Lin Yuyan, as a latecomer, was not suitable by nature.
Wrong!
Lin Yuyan remembered some of the friendship between Han Kui and Ju Mao, and the gold-inlaid treasure knife that Han Zi asked him for before he sent out the army.
It seems that Han Zi is attacking that position...... 〗
After Lin Yuyan figured it out, the soldiers of the grain transportation team did not forget to inform Lin Yuyan of the current situation of the Qin army in the north.
Defeat and retreat!
Since the territory of Yingchuan, the Great Qin army has already abandoned the last piece of land, and Lu Pass has been completely exposed to the hands of the Jin and Han armies, and Han Kui also intends to abandon the defense of Lu Pass.
Wrong!
Even if Han Zi didn't know how to lead the troops, this defeat was too fast......
There must be a follow-up arrangement for Hanzi...... 〗
Although Lin Yuyan trusts Han Kui's political talent very much, as for the military talent, Lin Yuyan is not very clear, and Lin Yuyan does not dare to take any risks.
"It's too late, it seems to speed up the steps...... Within three days, I will take Ruoxian! ”
