Chapter 966 On the eve of the Great War, the Quartet thundered

Changshan County is the north of Cai State, an important passage to Mocheng, the capital of Emperor Cai, Gaoyang City, Xiyue City, and the gateway to Mocheng.

Normally, the two places are not prominent in the Cai State, but when the war comes, especially when the northern army invades, the importance of the two cities will be immediately highlighted.

The cool breeze in early autumn, the geese are not yellow grass, the mountains and rivers in the north of Cai Guo change color, the land has fallen, and it has already changed hands!

After the four-way Yan cavalry fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west, Cai Guo was no longer the Cai State of the past, and the mountains and rivers were broken and became the foundation of the Yan army in the south.

Now, the Yan army in the northern part of Cai State, after seizing the northern part of Cai State, does not stop, and quickly moves towards Changshan County.

In particular, the two armies in the middle route, like sharp swords, swung their swords from the north and split Cai Guo in half. The rift quickly spread to the south, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Mocheng.

At this moment, Changshan County, Xiyue City, and the tent of the commander of the Chinese army seemed to have exploded, and the voices of the people were boiling, and they were overjoyed, and there was no panic and depression when the soldiers pressed the border.

First of all, the Chu army, which had been in a hurry for several days, finally arrived at Xiyue City after a long journey, and the Chu general Han Zhitong proposed to defend Gaoyang and Xiyue with Wu Jieshao to defend the two cities of Gaoyang and Xiyue to resist the Yan army here.

Secondly, not long ago, the emperor sent an edict to the whole army, and the soldiers took action to assist Cai Guo and resist Yan Qi.

Third, because the whole army was boiling, the emperor sent someone to send the eldest princess Cao Ruoxuan and his own sister to the front line.

Specially announced the emperor's order, the three sergeants are beaten, if anyone bravely kills the enemy and is favored by the eldest princess, he is qualified to marry the eldest princess.

The soldiers of all parties in the Cai army knew in their hearts that among the tens of thousands of soldiers, there was little hope of winning the hearts of the eldest princess, which was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, the eldest princess's appearance is stunning Cai Guo, it is rumored that the eldest princess is elegant and refined, with a beautiful appearance, skin like clotted fat, bright and bright teeth, and in her gestures, her whole body seems to be shrouded in light smoke and mist, which is beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a fairy.

Beauty is rare, but it greatly stimulates the morale of Cai Jun.

In addition to being happy, Han Zhitong's arrival and the spies lurking in the north invariably sent back the news.

In the news from both sides, it is all indicated that Emperor Yan personally led the Yan army gathered by all parties to quickly ride horses from the north.

In the handsome tent, Wu Jieshao heard the cheers of the soldiers outside, not only did he become happy, but his heart was full of bitterness.

The northern part of Cai Guo was completely lost, and the emperor wanted to boost the morale of the three armies based on the appearance of the eldest princess, although it was effective, but unfortunately it was a drop in the bucket and could not solve the problem at the root.

What's more, in the northern part of Cai State, the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry combat.

The terrain around Changshan County is also flat, which is suitable for cavalry field battles.

Changshan County has become an important gateway to the imperial capital, and if you are not careful, Gaoyang City and Xiyue City will be lost, Changshan County will fall, and Yan Cavalry will inevitably come to Mocheng.

At present, Han Zhitong fled from the north, and there were tens of thousands of Chu troops under his account, but it proved that the Yan army fought very smoothly in the north, and the Chu army was defeated again in front of Yan Cai.

He led 100,000 Cai troops to garrison Changshan County, and more than 40,000 Chu troops fled from the north, totaling nearly 150,000.

Whether he can rely on the strong city, defend it for a long time, and block the Yan cavalry in the north of the two cities, so that hundreds of thousands of Yan cavalry cannot go south, he does not dare to pat his chest to guarantee.

Fortunately, in the tent of the commander, the generals were more excited than panicked, Han Zhitong led the Chu army to arrive, and the soldiers attacked Yan Qi everywhere, at least far stronger than the Cai army defending Changshan County alone.

After a few days of hard work, he sent people to form a link in the cities of Changshan County, and Yan Qi boldly advanced into Changshan County, which would be like falling into a vortex.

Cai Jun was excited, immersed in the dream of returning the beauties of the newspaper.

On the border of Changshan County, Lin Feng led the army and swept the smoke and dust to appear here.

Here with Hou Mingfeng, Lin Xiao, Ju Wentai, Tuoba Yu, Xing Yike and other generals, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops gathered, which greatly expanded the ranks of the Yan army.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Yan army are all in high morale and momentum, and they can't wait to immediately enter Changshan County.

These two cavalry that swept through the northern part of Cai State, although they encountered obstacles in the war, still showed the fierce and invincible style of Yan cavalry, and they were both Cai troops of infantry. No effort can stop Yan Qi's journey.

In high spirits, the generals met, and everyone was full of pride.

There is a kind of momentum of big waves and immortal battles.

The generals gathered, Lin Feng's momentum was like a rainbow, and he immediately made a decision to deploy the Yan army to the south, attack and capture Changshan County!

According to the information he had, whether it was Cai Jun, Cao Rong, or Wu Jieshao, they all regarded Changshan County as a barrier to protect Mocheng.

Gather heavy troops here, intending to hinder Yan Cai's southward movement.

Lin Feng looked proud, Cao Rong wanted to use Changshan County to block Yan Qi, but he wanted to turn Changshan County upside down, and the chickens and dogs were restless.

First of all, he ordered Tuoba Yu, Li Kui, and Ashina to lead their respective armies to attack more than 50,000 people, attack all the cities in Changshan County, and completely destroy Wu Jieshao's plan, so that the cities in Changshan County could not take care of each other.

So as to reduce the pressure encountered by the Yan army when it went south.

Secondly, he sent the torture Yike to feign an attack on Gaoyang City to contain the Cai army in Gaoyang City, so that the Cai army in the city would not leave Gaoyang City an inch.

However, Xing Yike does not need to go south for the time being, he needs to go with his main colleagues, and then divide his troops to Gaoyang City to prevent the grass from startling the snake.

Moreover, he sent Ju Wentai and led 40,000 people to venture through the defense of Gaoyang City and Xiyue City, and went straight to Mocheng, making the Cai army stationed in Changshan County panic and chaos.

In addition, if the soldiers are sincere in rescuing Cai Guo, they will inevitably quickly concentrate their forces to block Ju Wentai, and at that time, take the opportunity to defeat the soldiers' forces in the front and weaken the resistance to the south.

In the end, the mysterious task was handed over to Lin Xiao, whether he could capture Changshan County, whether he could open the gateway to Mocheng, success or failure was in this move.

Therefore, Lin Xiao's trip is extremely dangerous and related to success or failure.

Lin Feng himself, personally with Hou Mingfeng, Luo Da, Cao Aman and other generals, waited for 150,000 iron horsemen, and rushed straight to Xiyue City.

The military order is like a mountain, and the capture of Gaoyang City and Xiyue City plays a vital role in the Yan army's southward movement and capture of Mocheng.

The generals under his account, as well as hundreds of thousands of soldiers, did not dare to take the southward campaign lightly.

The deeper you go south, the greater the resistance that the army encounters, and the more forces that emerge, and you must be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

The whole army was thundering, thousands of troops and horses, like an undercurrent under the lake, surging rapidly, ready to set off fierce waves on the calm lake.

Gaoyang City or Xiyue City will eventually become the main battlefield of the Yan army in the southern army.

In the north, Han Zhitong led the Chu army and narrowly escaped.

This time, whether it is the Chu army led by Han Zhitong or the Chu army under Wu Jie Shao's account, he would not want to fly out of his Wuzhi Mountain with two more cities!

The two cities will become the tombs of the two armies of Cai and Chu!

What's more, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won all battles, recently, through the information sent back by the spies in the past few days, Lin Feng knows that there are changes in Xiyue City and Gaoyang City.

Cao Rong wants to defend Changshan County, but he wants to turn Changshan County into a battlefield in dire straits.

Cao Rong wanted to boost the morale of the three armies through his sister, but he wanted to beat all Cao Rong's thoughts into powder.

"Cao Rong, don't you want to kill me, aren't you ambitious, hoping to use the power of the south to block the Yan army from moving south? This time to seize Changshan County and open up the passage to Mocheng, I want to see what you do to defend Mocheng. ”

Lin Feng was full of spirit and led his troops south!

Two days later, in the early morning, mist covered the sky, and the Yan army was only two days away from Gaoyang City or Xiyue City.

According to the speed of the cavalry's march, it should have arrived near Xiyue City as early as possible.

However, in order to ensure that Lin Xiao successfully carried out the order, Lin Feng deliberately ordered the whole army to slow down the movement of the main army!

In the early morning, the sky was filled with mist, and the whole sky was hazy.

Lin Feng sat on his war horse, tilted his head, looking into the distance, his heart was full of anticipation.

Stepping on the morning light sprinkled on the ground, the Yan army team continued to move south quickly!

Looking at the morning sun gradually rising on the horizon, in the cool autumn, the temperature is gradually rising, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

The army was getting closer and closer to Xiyue City, and Lin Feng's mood was getting calmer and calmer.

During the march, the sound of horses' hooves came from the south, and under the rising sun, a flying horse galloped quickly and rushed towards the army.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news!" The spy arrived in front of Lin Feng, quickly dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Feng's calm face was filled with faint joy, the plan was successfully implemented, and the difficulty of capturing Xiyue City was greatly reduced.

The guard gasped and hurriedly said, "According to the emperor's plan, the Duke of Jin took most of the army, disguised as a homeless person, and quietly blended into Xiyue City. ”

After saying that, the spy was elated, took out the document from his bosom, looked respectful, and sent it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's face was full of waves, and he waved his hand and said: "There is no need to read it, since the second brother has gone to Xiyue City, it is time to act, and the army will go all out to strive to reach Xiyue City as soon as possible." ”

In the past two days, the army deliberately slowed down the pace of marching, that is, to prevent the gate of Xiyue City from being closed, and Lin Xiao led the troops under his tent, unable to blend in with the displaced people.

Now that Lin Xiao has entered the city, he doesn't have to delay time.

Woo, woo.

In the army, the horn of the march was blown, and the melodious and powerful sound waves were quickly spread over the army.

The Yan cavalry, who was ready to go, heard the sound of the horn and quickly moved up, and the cavalry moved and rushed to Xiyue City.

At this time, Ju Wentai led 40,000 Yan cavalry, and also arrived at Xiyue City and Gaoyang City, 40,000 troops, dressed in black, moving, like a black cloud, floating quickly from the northern land.

In the army, the occasional white horse will also be covered, making the army more and more powerful.

The defenders on the walls of the two cities heard a loud tremor from the north, and when they looked around, they all saw the floating clouds floating in the north.

As the black clouds in the north approached quickly, and they saw the real faces of the other party clearly, someone couldn't help but exclaim: "Yan Qi, Yan Qi went south." ”

For a while, the two cities suddenly boiled, and the tense atmosphere quickly spread in the city.

The guards quickly went to the Shuaifu to report, and soon, Wu Jieshao and Han Zhitong, who learned the news, hurriedly grabbed their war knives, walked very fast, and trotted to the city wall.

The two of them stood on the attic of the city wall, and the sound of violent shaking under the attic was like a dragon rolling and shaking the heavens and the earth.

As far as the eye can see, the dark clouds are dense and dense, and they are quickly coming towards Xiyue City.

"Emperor Yan, it must be Emperor Yan who led the army and pursued from the north." On the city wall, Han Ximing realized.

On the way south, Han Ximing led the army, and was severely injured by the blade soldiers under Lin Feng's tent, and the whole person had already turned into a frightened bird.

Hearing this, Wu Jieshao's face condensed, and he said to the guards around him, instructing: "Prepare for war, prepare for battle, and block the Yan army from attacking the city." ”

Suddenly, on the city wall, guarding Cai Chu's army, they moved quickly, with a longbow in hand and an iron shield to cover, ready to meet Yan Cai.

Whether it is Wu Jieshao or Han Zhitong, they were defeated in the hands of Xiangyan riders, which made the two of them unconfident in their hearts, and when they heard the rumbling horses' hooves, they were like frightened birds.

At this time, Wu Jieshao and Han Zhitong only clutched the short sword in their hands, and looked at each other in unison, leaving a bitter expression on their faces.

Wu Jieshao was puzzled in his heart, in the past half a month, he spent energy and time to form a link in the cities of Changshan County, and the Yan army broke into Changshan County, and it was bound to encounter the defenders of each city taking the initiative to attack, thus forming a strong obstacle.

Why haven't you received the news from the guards of the cities in Changshan County, and the Yan army is about to arrive.

How did Yan Qi pass through the defense, Wu Jieshao didn't have time to think, and his eyes shifted to Yan Jun.

This cavalry moved quickly, but did not go to Xiyue City, nor to Gaoyang City, tens of thousands of cavalry, mighty, along the central area of the two cities, quickly moved south.

If you don't attack the city, what does it mean?

Looking at it, Wu Jieshao suddenly realized, angry, slapped his palm on his thigh, and shouted: "It's not good, this Yan cavalry wants to pass through the two cities and go directly to Mocheng!" ”

"What, to Ink City?" Han Zhitong exclaimed, and soon noticed the clue, and couldn't help but be frightened.

They hoped to rely on Gaoyang City and Xiyue City, choose to resist the city and defend it, and use the city to block the main force of the Yan army.

Unexpectedly, Yan cavalry and sword went sideways, and this Yan army army did not have the slightest desire to attack the city, or rather, the order they received was not to attack Gaoyang and Xiyue at all.

Then, it means that this Yan cavalry is crossing the border tightly, and next, there are more Yan troops in the rear, and those are the real siege troops.

For a while, Wu Jieshao and Han Zhitong's expressions became panicked!

If this Yan cavalry in the distance easily passes through the two cities, it will inevitably cut off the connection between the two cities and Mocheng.

At that time, the two cities will become territories outside the isolated Cai Kingdom, and it will be difficult for either ordnance or reinforcements from the south to reach the two cities.

In the long run, the two cities will be completely starved, panicked, and helpless.

Moreover, if Yan Qi directly attacked Mocheng, the pressure on Mocheng would increase dramatically.

On the city wall, Wu Jieshao did not hesitate at all, and said angrily: "This group of bastards, don't want to go through the two cities and go to the south!" ”

Venting his anger, he hurriedly turned around, clenched his fists and said to Han Zhitong: "General Han, Xiyue City has been handed over to you for the time being, I will personally lead the troops out of the south gate to block the other party, and I must not let the other party go to Mocheng!" ”

"General rest assured, with the old man here, Xiyue City is fine!" Han Zhitong clenched his fists and said loudly.

Being able to defend the city to the death, Han Zhitong definitely did not want to come into direct contact with the Yan cavalry, and many times practice proved that in a fierce battle with the Yan cavalry in the open land, the southern infantry did not have an advantage.

At this moment, he silently looked forward to Wu Jieshao being able to lead the troops back safely!
