Yuecheng, a hundred miles to the north!

Zhao Hongru, Feng Yi, Li Lin, and Tuoba Yu, four generals, led 300,000 foot cavalry and 50,000 dogs and wolves, and fought and retreated, consuming the coalition army.

The coalition army seized Yuecheng for seven or eight days, spending a lot of manpower, material resources and time, but only pushed the force north for a hundred miles, and did not inflict heavy losses on the Yan army.

For the next few days, the two sides remained in a state of confrontation, rarely taking the initiative to attack, and some, on a small scale, tentatively.

However, since the troops of the five countries were dispersed in Yuecheng, the situation of Wu, Yue, Cai, and Shu in the south was gradually formed, the Chu army was alone in the north, and the Yan army was in the center, which was blocked from both sides.

Such a long-term unsuccessful coalition army, depressed and angry, there was a glimmer of hope, thinking about how to hit the surrounded Yan army hard.

However, the situation seemed to be unfavorable to the Yan army, which did not evacuate, and the coalition forces were in a flanking posture and did not attack.

After continuous contact, the two hostile sides have basically figured out the strength of the other side, and it is clear that if the other side relies on its own strength to shake or even completely annihilate the other side, it will cause a situation in which 1,000 enemies are killed and 800 are damaged.

This kind of confrontation situation, Zhao Hongru, Feng Yi, Li Lin, Tuoba Yu and other Yan generals like to see, after all, their purpose is to drag the main army of the coalition army for a long time, consume their food and grass, paralyze their morale, and finally let the coalition army withdraw without a fight.

In addition, the long-term persistence of the two armies is conducive to the other units of the Yan Army to understand the threat of the two flanks, concentrate superior forces in the future, expel the coalition forces, and even completely annihilate the five-nation coalition forces.

However, this situation, for the coalition forces, is very bad and very tormenting.

After all, at this time, the coalition army traveled a long distance, far away from the north bank of the Yangtze River, to reach the hinterland of the Yan State, and the food and ordnance had to be transported from the warships staying on the Yangtze River, which required more energy.

In the long run, the transportation route will become longer and longer, and once the Yan cavalry breaks through the encirclement, or if there is an army in the north quietly moving south and cutting off the food route of the coalition army, the coalition army will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

Whether it is Han Zhitong, Wen Zhiming, or Zhang Yuting, Wang Zhengwen, Wu Jieshao and other generals of the coalition army, they are very aware of the situation of the coalition army and the dangers they may encounter.

Therefore, Han Zhitong made a plan, the two sides communicated with each other, and the Chu army sent Chen Dongyu, a deputy general, to lead the troops to attack the Yan army camp at night, and the four major coalition forces in the south also took the opportunity to take advantage of the night cover to kill the Yan army camp.

The Yan army was up and down, stubbornly defending and not attacking, consuming the allied army's ordnance and materials, and also consuming the opponent's patience. However, Zhao Hongru, Feng Yi and other generals knew very well that the coalition army did not dare to attack for the time being due to the combat effectiveness of the Yan army and its unyielding will.

If there are good fighters, they will definitely take the initiative to attack, adopt a joint attack from the north and south, and encircle and annihilate the Yan army.

Therefore, Zhao Hongru and others did not plan to defend for a long time, and were ready to continue to retreat north, relying on the city, insisting on defending to the death, and the cavalry looked for opportunities to surprise the coalition army.

However, when the Yan army was preparing to withdraw the whole army, a war came unexpectedly, disrupting the Yan army's plan to withdraw north!

The night was dark, the cold wind was whirring, and the birds in the treetops were haunting with their wings from time to time, making a few strange calls, which were especially obvious in the night.

The coalition forces are slowly approaching from the north and south, like a swarm of groundhogs, sneaky and looking ill-intentioned!

The Xuanjia soldiers in the north form two different phalanxes, and the left and right wings are formed, like a steel tong, once they join forces, they can cut off the Yan army.

According to the news, the Yan army battalion, Feng Yi and Tuoba Yu, two cavalry corps, were stationed in the north and south, attacking and defending the camp to prevent the incoming enemy from suddenly attacking.

The ironclad infantry and the dog and wolf legion are on the east and west sides, covered by cavalry, and can be attacked and defended when advancing, which can be regarded as a relatively complete formation.

This time, the Xuanjia soldiers attacked from the north, and they wanted to quietly inflict heavy damage on the cavalry under the command of Tuoba Yu, so as to directly attack from the north and inflict heavy damage on the dog and wolf legion.

Chen Dongyu led the troops south, with great anger and revenge in his heart.

In the battle of Erlongshan, he was severely humiliated, and when he marched into Yuecheng, he was eager to pursue Yan Cai, but was severely damaged by the Yan army lurking outside Yuecheng, although the loss of Xuanjia soldiers was not large, but there were still tens of thousands.

Now, for several days in a row, the two sides have been in a state of stalemate, and it is simply difficult to move an inch.

This will, take advantage of the night attack, surprise, cover up his unpreparedness, he hopes to vent the depression of the past few days.

In the south, Zhang Yuting, Wen Zhiming, Wu Jieshao, Wang Zhengwen, Qiu Lengye, Li Dongming, and other generals all went to war, and more than 300,000 coalition troops in the south were all dispatched, saying that it was an attack, but in fact, they wanted to turn the night attack into an abnormal battle.

In the night, the neighbors were suffocated in the dim weather, and hundreds of thousands of troops were attacking, and the momentum was violent, as if they were going to fight a decisive battle.

It's a pity that all the generals of the coalition army have ignored a very serious matter, there are 50,000 dog and wolf troops in the Yan army, not to mention the vigilance, and the combat effectiveness is also very strong.

What's more, the Yan army has the habit of spreading secret agents outside the big camp, so for many years, no matter what the generals, if they plan to launch a night attack on the Yan army, the success rate is often very small, and it is possible that they will steal chickens and rice.

This time, the coalition army attempted to attack at night in the north and south, but unfortunately before it entered the Yan army camp, it was discovered by the dog wolves on the periphery, and for a while, there was a sound of dogs and wolves outside the Yan army camp.

Soon, the sound of dog barking came into the camp, tens of thousands of dogs and wolves barked in unison, the sound moved all day long, the whole battalion Yan army was awakened, in a hurry, quickly grabbed weapons to face the battle.

Whether it was the generals in the south or Chen Dongyu in the north, hearing thousands of dogs barking, the deep voice seemed to come from the depths of the earth, making people shudder and panic.

They realized that the barking of the dog sounded, the Yan army was awakened, the identity of the coalition army was exposed, and the night attack seemed to become very passive.

However, among the Xuanjia soldiers, Chen Dongyu temporarily decided to continue the attack, and the Yan army found out that it was not to passively meet the enemy in the chaos!

"Take advantage of the chaos to kill!" Chen Dongyu drew his war knife, shouted, jumped up first, took the lead, and rushed towards the Yan army camp.

More than 100,000 coalition troops came from the north, and the Xuanjia soldiers were wearing iron armor and redwoods, like a red wave, and the state of thunder was overwhelming.

The torches burning in the wind whirred loudly, making the momentum of the Xuanjia soldiers more and more powerful and unstoppable.

At this time, the Southern Coalition Army also suddenly rose, as if thousands of troops and horses had suddenly risen from the underground rocks, and marched as if they were galloping, heading straight to the Yan army camp.

In the Yan army camp, the dogs barked constantly, and the Yan army was awakened, but fortunately, outside the barracks, there were secret agents squatting, and the dogs and wolves barked wildly, waking up in advance.

The Yan army panicked, quickly changed clothes, grabbed the sword soldiers, and quickly rushed out of the military tent, the cavalry mounted on horses, and the infantry lined up.

Tuoba Yu dragged the ring-headed sword, half of his bare arms, regardless of the severe cold, quickly stepped on the war horse, and shouted at the Yan army in a chaotic formation: "The whole army is arrayed, and the general will attack!" ”

"Rush, rush, rush!" Yan cavalry shouted, messy cavalry, soaring, when Tuoba Yu led a small number of cavalry to attack, those chaotic Yan cavalry, as if in the dark night, saw the dawn of dawn, quickly turned around, followed Tuoba Yu to attack.

"Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! ”

The cavalry galloped, and soon formed a formation, Tuoba Yu led a small number of personal soldiers, like the tip of a sword, and the cavalry followed behind him, like a sword blade, and the two sides formed a sharp arrow out of the sheath.

The sharp arrow is out of the sheath, and it will not return unless it is stained with blood.

Yan rode forward, no longer panicked and confused before, screaming, waving his sword, and galloping and impacting.

And in the battle, Zhao Hongru, who had the habit of sleeping in clothes, heard the dog wolf barking wildly, dragging the horse chopping knife, rushing to the military tent, a pair of half-asleep eyes, staring at the sky-high fire on the north and south sides, and scolded fiercely, saying: "The little man still dares to make trouble!" ”

After that, Feng Yi and Li Lin also rushed out shirtless, and the three of them didn't say a word, nodded to each other, and quickly threw themselves into their roles.

Night attack is the Yan army's master tactic, how many fierce battles, the Yan army has been completed in the night, and by the time dawn, the dust has settled.

Tonight, according to the favorable situation, the coalition forces tried to flank the north and south, and took advantage of the night to inflict heavy losses on the Yan army, which is indeed a very good choice.

It's a pity that the Yan army is not a rookie, they want to take advantage of the night and chaos to attack the Yan army, but it is not clear whether they overestimated themselves or underestimated the Yan army.

The main general returned to his position, and the sea god needle was like a needle, which calmed the psychology of the Yan army, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and soon the Yan army formed a formation, cavalry corps, infantry corps, dog and wolf legion, almost no need to deploy, according to the previous defense range, each legion performed its own duties.

In an instant, the Yan army camp became orderly.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The shouts of killing sounded, and the sound waves overshadowed for a while, showing the strong morale and strong combat effectiveness of the Yan army.

To the north of the camp, Chen Dongyu witnessed the changes in the Yan army, and felt bitter in his heart, he didn't know whether to say that the Yan army had rich experience in battle and the war was orderly, or that the infantry marched too slowly and lost the best results.

Otherwise, if you took advantage of the chaos to enter the Yan army's camp before, hundreds of thousands of fierce infantry would form a crushing attack on the Yan army, and this battle would severely damage the Yan army in a very short time, putting the coalition army in an advantageous position.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was fleeting, and the Yan army quickly formed a formation in the chaos, but instead of passive defense, on the contrary, the two cavalry went south and north, taking the initiative to attack.

The night attack turned into a very harsh frontal conflict, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the coalition forces to win.

At this moment, he didn't know what kind of crisis the Southern Four Nations Alliance Army was facing, but in front of him, tens of thousands, or even more Yan cavalry rushed in, like a sharp sword, as if it was going to open a mountain and split a stone into two halves.

Because he has personally experienced the strong impact and crushing pressure that erupted in the Yan Cavalry charge, if the Xuanjia soldiers did not have an impermeable defense, it would be very difficult to block the Yan Cavalry that was attacking from the hurricane.

"The whole army is in formation, attack posture!" When there was still some distance between the two armies, Chen Dongyu shouted wildly.
