On May 8, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the 520,000 cavalry of the Sixteen Tribes Grassland Alliance Army set off from the Wuheng Royal Court, Liu Ji was standing on the wall of Chengyin City, looking at the huge team from Chengyin City and going south around the city, and this huge team was composed of the old and weak women and children of the Hu people in Liu Ji's hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Knowing that Shuerha, the great khan of the Wuheng tribe, sent a message to all the tribes in the grassland to form a grassland coalition army, Liu Ji urgently summoned the cavalry lieutenants of the thirteenth battalion and the infantry lieutenants of the four battalions under his command to the county government of Chengyin City to discuss how to deal with this grassland coalition army.

Although Liu Ji currently does not have a strategist under his command, among the generals under his command, the intelligence values of three people like Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie are all above 80 points, and in terms of strategy, they are definitely not worse than ordinary strategists.

Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie are surprisingly unanimous, that is, they must not have a head-on duel with this grassland Hu people's coalition army on the grassland, otherwise the Chengyin army will definitely be defeated.

You must know that although the cavalry under Liu Ji has built thirteen battalions, and it is also an overstaffed cavalry battalion, each cavalry battalion has about 10,000 people, but these 130,000 cavalry have only been formed for more than a month, and the combat effectiveness is not high, of which more than seventy percent are Hu people, once they fight with hundreds of thousands of Hu people in the grassland, even if the Hu people in the cavalry battalion do not fight back, there is no chance of winning at all.

In the end, Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie suggested to Liu Ji that it was best to put the battlefield here in Chengyin City, and use the city defense battle to deal with hundreds of thousands of grassland coalition troops, relying on the city walls of Chengyin City, which can completely offset the advantage of the grassland coalition army in strength, and if you want to attack the city, hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry can only give up their war horses, which is equivalent to weakening at least half of the combat effectiveness of hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry at once.

Liu Ji asked if he could meet the enemy at Xishankou, but was vetoed by Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie.

The strength of the grassland alliance army this time is at least hundreds of thousands, if the Chengyin army concentrates its army at Xishan Pass, once the grassland alliance army enters the territory of Qianzhou from other gorges in the Anxing Mountains, and directly goes around to the south of Xishan Pass to carry out a flank attack, then the Chengyin army will be attacked on its back.

Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie also planned that when the grassland coalition army was exhausted in Chengyin City, the thirteenth battalion cavalry unit of the Chengyin army would appear again and launch a counterattack against the grassland coalition army, so as to defeat the grassland coalition army.

However, Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie's plan required the evacuation of all the cavalry troops, the old, young, women, and children of the Hu people, and a large number of livestock on the grassland north of Xishankou and the pasture south of Xishankou, and even the Jin people in Chengyin City had to be evacuated.

Liu Ji thought about it for a while, and agreed to the plan of Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie, in fact, Liu Ji had no choice, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry, a slight difference, Liu Jixin's hard-earned foundation was in danger of collapse.

Standing on the top of the city wall of Chengyin City, Liu Ji sighed and asked Le Yi beside him, "The people in the city have all withdrawn, right?" ”

Le Yi nodded and said, "They have all withdrawn from Chengyin City and rushed to the territory of Longchang County. ”

Liu Ji has more than 200,000 Hu people, old and young, women and children, and more than 20,000 Jin people in Chengyin City, plus a large number of war horses, horses, cattle and sheep.

Liu Ji does not have much food in his hands now, and he can support 160,000 troops and more than 200,000 people, mainly relying on enough cattle and sheep, if more than 40,000 cattle and more than 1 million sheep are starving to death, then Liu Ji's Chengyin army will immediately have a military food crisis.

Liu Ji's 130,000 cavalry was equipped with 260,000 war horses, each cavalry was equipped with two war horses, and the Jin cavalry was originally only equipped with one war horse, but Liu Ji had too many war horses in his hands, and each of the 130,000 cavalry was equipped with two war horses, and there were 100,000 horses left.

These hundreds of thousands of war horses, as well as more than 50,000 horses, are very important to the Chengyin army, and they definitely can't afford to lose, and it is impossible to let these war horses and horses starve to death.

Liu Ji discussed with Wei Xiaokuan, Le Yi, and Su Lie, and decided to temporarily move the more than 200,000 old, young, women and children of the Hu people, nearly 30,000 Jin people in Chengyin City, and a large number of war horses, horses, cattle and sheep, to Longchang County.

Longchang County also belongs to one of the six counties of Ju'an County, just south of Chengyin County, the territory of Longchang County does not border the grassland, Liu Ji led the border team from the territory of Longchang County, before entering Chengyin County.

Longchang County has been completely destroyed by the Hu people of the grassland, and even the county seat has become a ruin, Liu Ji walked in Longchang County with the border team for 3 days, but he didn't see a single figure, and all the cultivated land in Longchang County was also deserted.

However, all the abandoned cultivated land in Longchang County was overgrown with wild grass, which was just enough to fill the livestock in Liu Ji's hands, so Liu Ji even transferred all thirteen cavalry battalions to Longchang County.

Liu Ji personally led four battalions of infantry and a guard battalion of more than 1,000 people to stay in Chengyin County, preparing to meet the grassland coalition army.

Originally, the captains of each battalion advised Liu Ji to move to Longchang County with the cavalry, but Liu Ji categorically refused.

Now Liu Ji's system level has reached the second level, and the distance of absorbing soul values has increased from 2 meters to 200 meters, once the grassland coalition forces attack the city, Liu Ji only needs to walk around the four walls of Chengyin City to absorb a large amount of soul points, how can Liu Ji let go of such an opportunity.

Liu Ji commanded the four battalions of infantry there are more than 32,000 people, plus more than 1,000 people in the guard battalion, basically all of them are Jin people, after more than a month of training, the combat effectiveness is much faster than the cavalry troops, Liu Ji believes that with these more than 33,000 soldiers, plus the 8-meter-high city wall of Chengyin City, it is enough to resist hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry.

Liu Ji asked to Le Yi, "How is the military rations in the city prepared?" ”

Le Yi replied: "Don't worry, my lord, we have prepared a large amount of dried meat and wild vegetables, plus the food in the city, which is enough for more than 30,000 of us to eat for half a year, and it is absolutely impossible for the grassland coalition army to besiege Chengyin City for half a year, and military food is not a problem for us." ”

Liu Ji sighed again, "Originally, I had already begun to organize the people to sow seeds on the cultivated land outside Chengyin City, but now that the grassland coalition army has come, the plan to farm the land has come to naught." ”

Le Yi comforted and said: "Lord, as long as we defeat the grassland coalition army this time, I believe that Chengyin County will be stable for a while, if you are lucky, you will still have time to let the people sow seeds this year." ”
