Chapter 189: The Great Gathering of the Ning River

Ninghe County, from the Tangshan County straight line distance is only 300 miles, from the distance between Tianjin County and Tangshan County is less than 50 miles, as early as after the fall of Tangshan County, most of the residents here are difficult to escape, now Ninghe except less than 10,000 old people, almost no young and young women and children, they are already inescapable.

On the border line, there were originally 2,000 Tianjin soldiers stationed, but after most of the people in Ninghe County fled, these two thousand soldiers withdrew to Ninghe County, and the 500 defenders of Ninghe County made a total of 2,500 soldiers to guard Ninghe County, they dug trenches, set up horses to resist, and strengthened the city defense, and over time, this Ninghe County has become a small military fortress.

With Situ Jiannan and Xiahou Ying led 10,000 Han soldiers to Ninghe County, Ninghe County is gradually lively, from the next day, there are successive Tianjin troops here, in just five days, this Ninghe County has gathered more than 30,000 people.

There are 10,000 Han troops, 15,000 Tianjin soldiers, and some rebels and guards of big families got the news and rushed to help in the war, which also made Ninghe County reach the scale of 30,000 people, and this is not the end, there are still a lot of rebel teams, aspiring young people are rushing here, fortunately, Ninghe County has ten rooms and nine emptiness, so the accommodation of the soldiers is really not a problem.

When Liu Chen, Han Shizhong and the others came to the county seat of Oh Ninghe, they were surprised to find that nearly 33,000 soldiers had gathered in this small county town of Ninghe, which made them feel a little surprised.

"Hehe, during this time, there have been rebels coming to vote, and some big families have sent guards from their families to help in the battle, and some soldiers from the former Tangshan County who are hovering on the border line have joined, which has made the number of soldiers here exceed our expectations!" Riding a horse on the avenue of Ninghe County, Han Shizhong said to Liu Chen with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Chen smiled and said: "Our actions are so big, and we don't hide it, the small Ninghe county town suddenly gathered troops on a large scale, and fools know that something will happen, and near this Ninghe county, the only thing that can be thought of is naturally the invading Three Kingdoms Alliance, I guess these people who came to take refuge should only be a part, and some are still in a state of wait-and-see, look, as long as we win the first battle, there will be more and more troops and young people to take refuge!" ”

"Master Hou is really a god!" Han Shizhong said with admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Hou, where will we fight in the first battle?" Under Han Shizhong's command, a military general suddenly asked.

"It depends on how well your marshal's intelligence work is collected, without intelligence, we are just headless flies, and once we have accurate information, we have the first opportunity!" Liu Chen looked at Han Shizhong with a light smile.

When Liu Chen was in Tianjin, he had already contacted the people of the Han Army Intelligence Bureau, but from the mouth of the person in charge here, Liu Chen learned that whether it was Tianjin, Beiping, or even the entire Hebei Province, the infiltration of the Han Army Intelligence Bureau was still in its infancy, so Liu Chen could only rely on Han Shizhong's intelligence.

Han Shizhong smiled and said: "Now most of Tangshan County has been controlled by the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army and the rebels, only the three county towns of Yutian, Fengnan and Tanghai are still in the hands of the imperial army, of which Yutian County has 12,000 defenders and Yang Rong, and it is the 6,000 Jin Army and 20,000 rebels who attack Yutian County. ”

"Fengnan County is the strongest of the three counties, there are still more than 20,000 defenders there, and the guard general Zhang Shuye, but although Fengnan County is the strongest county, the battle there is also the fiercest, 20,000 Jinliao coalition troops and 20,000 rebels are attacking the city."

"As for Tanghai County, adjacent to Bohai, there are only 6,000 defenders, the guard general Xu Zhi, and the opponent is 10,000 Goryeo troops, and there are no rebels to support!"

Han Shizhong gave a very simple introduction to the general situation of Tangshan County.

"Fengnan County is the closest to us, only more than 230 miles, more than 60 miles away from Tangshan County, the location is very critical, so Fengnan must be saved!" Liu Chen opened his mouth and said, "But there are 40,000 enemy troops there, although our number is about the same, but it is not a good thing to fight hard, everyone knows that the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the most fierce fight, the strongest combat effectiveness is the soldiers of the two countries of Jin Liao, so we can only think of a way to save it, first, we can't fight hard with the enemy, and second, we can't let the enemy attack the city unscrupulously!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

Han Shizhong smiled and said: "Master Hou, don't sell it, I know you must have a plan, just say it!" ”

In Tianjin Port and Tianjin City, Han Shizhong was completely impressed by Liu Chen, so he said so at this moment, he believed that since Liu Chen said this, he must have a way to deal with it, this is not blind belief, but Han Shizhong feels that this young Zhenbei Hou has the ability that ordinary people do not have.

When the others heard Han Shizhong's words, they all looked at Liu Chen, and they were all curious about what kind of method Liu Chen had.

Seeing this, Liu Chen didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Just now I said where we fought in the first battle, we will fight Tanghai County in the first battle, although it is a little farther, but we have to face 10,000 Goryeo troops, among the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo army is the weakest, and it is also the easiest to defeat, we will defeat the Goryeo army first, and then merge with the army of Tanghai County to enter Fengnan County!" ”

After a pause, Liu Chen continued: "To go to Tanghai County, you don't need too many men and horses, and the speed must be fast, so I will personally lead five thousand cavalry to save Tanghai County, and Marshal Han will lead the other troops to the direction of Fengnan, but don't attack, you are stationed twenty miles outside the south gate of Fengnan County, so that the enemy will never dare to attack Fengnan County easily!" ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! As soon as Liu Chen's voice fell, Han Shizhong had already thought of the key point, he was also the commander of the first army, and he was proficient in the art of war, Liu Chen said it in relative detail, if Han Shizhong didn't know Liu Chen's plan, it would be strange.

The troops are stationed outside Fengnan County, one is to deter the enemy army, so that they do not dare to attack the city unscrupulously, and the other is to boost the morale of the defenders of Fengnan County, and they are stationed there, as long as they are careful, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy, because as long as the enemy attacks, the defenders of Fengnan County will definitely go out of the city, and when the two armies attack the enemy one after the other, the enemy will definitely not be able to bear it.

As long as the enemy temporarily gives up attacking Fengnan County, then their goal will be achieved, and when Liu Chen returns with his troops from Tanghai County, the three armies will have nearly 70,000 people, and they can definitely fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and the 40,000 enemy troops attacking Fengnan County are definitely the main force of the enemy, as long as this army is defeated, Tangshan County is also within reach, which is why Han Shizhong said it is wonderful.

Although the other generals did not think of this as quickly as Han Shizhong, as time passed, they also discovered Liu Chen's strategy, and they couldn't help but look at Liu Chen with admiration, and even had a respectful look towards Liu Chen.

"Master Hou, when do you think it's appropriate for us to attack?" Han Shizhong asked Liu Chen urgently.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Chen said: "First plan the team formed by those righteous soldiers and young people, and limit it to two days, and after two days, the army will be mobilized!" (To be continued.) )
