Li Dao returned in defeat, and he was relieved to see his Flying Bear Army coming. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info asked Guo Yan had already controlled Anyi and was coming with a large army. Let the Flying Bear Army, which was ambushed in the east of the city, take the lead and answer Li Dao.

Li Dao looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, roughly calculated that there were only six or seven thousand people, and just now the valley lost more than two thousand horses in the first battle. Now that there was no support from the rear army, Li Dao did not dare to rush into the mountain, so he camped at the mountain pass.

After another half a day, Guo Yan led the Chinese army to arrive. It turned out that Anyi City had been burned to ruins, burning to death many sergeants and soldiers who had invaded the city, there was no grain and grass left, and a transit station had also been lost. The troops escorting the grain and grass in the back could only follow the army and continue north.

Li Dao suffered a loss this time and remembered it for a long time. As long as you see a place where the terrain is not familiar, you will immediately send scouts to explore the way, and at the same time, with the Flying Bear Army as the lead, the army behind will advance slowly, and be careful everywhere.

The army marched for three days to the city, but due to the small size of the city, the Hedong army only withdrew after a short rest and did not set up a defense in the city. Now Li Dao and Guo Yan finally put their minds at ease, this is the first time after entering Hedong that they don't have to sleep in the wilderness, and the army has a good rest in Biancheng for a day.

Li Dao and Guo Yan believed that Tian Jing would definitely deploy heavy troops in Xie County in front, otherwise if he went to the northeast, it would be an open basin of Pingchuan. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to stop the coalition forces. The two decided to bring their own 20,000 troops to the north, so that the logistics and baggage teams were temporarily stationed in the city, and left 8,000 soldiers and horses to defend.

Tian Jing is now hesitating whether to use Xie County as the main battlefield. In the first battle of Pusaka, the hundred-year-old city disappeared under a fire. Tian Jing was really afraid that Xie County would not be able to escape such a fate. After all, Hedong is the foundation of the Northern Army, and if this is defeated, but only a few cities are destroyed and the people are displaced, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

His original intention was to retreat to Anyi and use the defense under Anyi to consume the strength of the Li and Guo coalition forces as much as possible. Then when Xu Huang stabbed Li and Guo in the back, he poured the power of Anyi and concentrated all the horses to fight back.

However, since the last time he was on the table, Tian Jing found that if he retreated from Anyi, on the one hand, it would cause panic among the emperor and the hundred officials, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the command would be subject to many constraints. Therefore, Tian Jing hesitated again and again, but he had no choice but to decide to take Xie County as the main battlefield.

On the one hand, Tian Jing asked people to strengthen the defense of Xie County, and on the other hand, he asked people to give orders to the Qi Tai and Leping troops stationed outside Anyi City. Within three days, he rushed to Xie County and prepared for a decisive battle with Li and Guo's soldiers and horses.

……………………………………………………………………

As early as when Li Dao, Guo Yan and Tian Jing fought in Pusaka, Wu Xi, Ma Chao, and Cheng Gongying's 7,000 cavalry were already on standby. Prepare to attack the defenders of Fenglingdu at any time.

Fenglingdu is a crossing of the Yellow River, but it is very important because the river here is narrower than other places and is the easiest to cross. There is no city to rely on, and there is no danger of mountains and rivers to rely on, so it is very difficult to be honest if you want to deploy here.

Li Le led 3,000 soldiers and horses to camp north of Fenglingdu. The heart said that Yang Feng and Han Xian were shrewd, hiding in the city, and asked me to go to this place where birds don't to drink the northwest wind. When he was not happy, he cursed in his mouth, and he was very unkind to his subordinate soldiers.

Li Le's men and horses are even more angry, they were originally thieves, why are they still raised by their stepmothers as officers and soldiers now. Not to mention the clothing, armor, and blades, and the food and salary are not sufficient, this officer and soldier deserves enough money.

Everyone in the camp was resentful, and naturally they didn't care about the construction of the barracks. These days have passed, and neither the antler fence nor the watchtowers on either side have been built.

But the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou will not give them a chance, and on the battlefield, once they lose, the whole army will be annihilated.

Wu Xi and the carriage successfully led 7,000 cavalry, and it was easy to break through the camp of 3,000 people.

Due to the lack of antler fences, with only one charge, the Liangzhou soldiers broke through the camp. Li Le didn't have time to defend at all, so he led his soldiers and horses to scatter and flee.

Wu Xi is also a veteran of battle, and he knows that it will be easy to eliminate these defeated soldiers. But his goal is not here, but the county seat of Hebei not far away.

Wu Xi restrained the soldiers and horses, don't chase too fast, just drive the enemy army to the county of Hebei. At the same time, 500 soldiers and horses were left to garrison Fenglingdu to monitor the movement of Zhangji's soldiers and horses south of the Yellow River.

Li Le led the rout in front and ran away in one breath, regardless of the three seven twenty-one breaths, and rushed to the county seat of Hebei County in less than an hour. Li Le immediately ordered someone to call the city, and the city guards naturally recognized Li Le, and while opening the city to pick up Li Le into the city, he hurried to report to Han Xian.

But when the officers and soldiers defending the city didn't expect it, the rout dragged on for too long, and Li Le had no choice but to have a lot of soldiers and horses. The city could not be closed for a while.

At this moment, Wu Xi and Ma Chao's cavalry rushed up, and the military marquis defending the city immediately ordered people to close the city gate when they saw the danger.

There were also routs who had not entered the city and tried to storm the city, and the defenders barely managed to cover the gate after killing many friendly soldiers. Just when he was about to bolt the door, the Liangzhou cavalry had already rushed to the front.

The first person was none other than Ma Chao. As soon as Ma Chao pulled the reins, the black horse man stood up, and his front hooves stepped on the city gate. The knight behind Ma Chao concocted the same method, and after stepping on it several times, the defenders in the city were not strong enough, and they fell down in response, and the city gate was opened.

Ma Chao led his troops into the city and scattered the defenders in the city.

Han Xian got the report and led the troops to fight, but where were the soldiers and horses under his command Ma Chao's opponent, and they were defeated by Ma Chao.

Han Xian saw that the county seat of Hebei could not be contained, so he had to lead his own soldiers to abandon the city and flee.

Han Xian ran away, but he suffered Li Le, who had just entered the city, and after he entered the city, he thought he could take a rest, so he found a place to rest in the city. Who knew that just after taking a breath, the enemy army had entered the county town of Hebei again.

Li Le still wanted to continue to escape, but he didn't know that he was not familiar with the situation in the city, but he ran into Wu Xi's soldiers and horses in a panic. Li Le couldn't, so he had to fight Wu Xi hard.

Wu Xi asked the cavalry to quickly surround Li Le, and while he was frightened, he grabbed Li Le from his horse with just a few face-to-face efforts. Wu Xi threw Li Le to the ground and said, "Tie me up." Li Le was tied up like a dumpling by the soldiers.

There was no suspense in the battle in the city, and in less than two hours, the soldiers and horses in Hedong fled to flee, the dead died, the captured prisoners, and the entire Hebei county was controlled by the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou.

Wu Xi counted the men and horses, and the battle was almost a complete victory, with less than 20 casualties among his own horses. However, the enemy army left more than a thousand corpses in Fenglingdu and Hebei County. There were more than 2,000 captives in the city.

Ma Chao had a great time killing today, and the Hedong Army was like a chicken and a dog in his eyes, if it wasn't for Cheng Gongying to stop him, he would still want to continue to pursue Han Xian's rout.

Now that the soldiers and horses are gathered, Wu Xi convened the generals to discuss the matter. Just now, I already knew from the mouths of the captives about the deployment of soldiers and horses in Hedong. Now Yang Feng still has more than 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Dayang, and Han Xian estimated that he sent troops to surrender to him. The main force of the Hedong Army, led by Tian Jing, was holding off against the two generals Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Wu Xi said to the generals: "The military order of the general and the general of the chariot cavalry is for us to capture Fenglingdu and Hebei County, and then send troops and horses to the north to join the Chinese army. Now that our mission has been completed, I am ready to leave the soldiers and horses of the two generals Ma Chao and Cheng Gongying to defend, and tomorrow I will take my own wolf to ride north. Do you have any objections? When Wu Xi spoke, he was going through the motions, and it was impossible for anything to change in the things that had been decided earlier.

How do you know that Ma Chao spoke, "General Wu, if it was arranged like this before the war, there would naturally be no problem, but now we have defeated Fenglingdu and Hebei County without spending a single soldier, which shows that the soldiers and horses in Hedong are vulnerable." We might as well continue to attack Dayang in the east and capture the rear general Yang Feng, which is much greater than today's credit. ”

When Wu Xi was in the army before, no one dared to oppose him, but today Ma Chao suddenly spoke, and Wu Xi felt very uncomfortable. But considering that Guo Yan explained that he wanted to make good use of these two people, he couldn't get suspicious, and he couldn't bear it in his heart: "Ma Chao, do you know that the military order is like a mountain?" ”

Ma Chao asked rhetorically, "Hasn't the general heard that the generals will not be affected by the orders of the troops abroad?" If you don't take the fame in front of you, you don't know how to convince the public by improvising? ”

Wu Xixin said I haven't trained you yet, you come to arrange this general, and you are about to get angry. Li Ru took the opportunity to speak, "The two generals have extinguished the fire, and they listen to Li's words." What the two generals said made sense, and everyone was doing things for the general and the general of the chariot, so it didn't have to be like this. I have an idea here for you to refer to. ”

Li Ru looked at it and stabilized the two of them and said, "General Ma Chao said that the idea of attacking Dayang is good, I estimate that we can also fight it, but it will not have a decisive impact on the entire Hedong occupation." General Wu said that he would support the Chinese army, and that was right. But the arrival of 3,000 cavalry in the Chinese army was only the icing on the cake. And there are many kinds of support, if we can make a detour to the back of the Northern Army and give a thunderous blow, then it is likely to help the general and the general of the chariot and cavalry to win the battle. Or we can make a detour to the city of Anyi, take advantage of the lack of defense in the city, and capture Anyi in one fell swoop. This is all to support the Chinese army, and it can also make immortal contributions. I wonder what the generals think? ”

As soon as Li Ru said this, several other people were moved. And it sounds very feasible, and the temptation is great. After all, such a feats are not the same as they are now. But Wu Xi also had a worry: "If we want to insert ourselves behind the enemy to make contributions, then these soldiers and horses under our command will definitely not succeed, but the soldiers and horses have all fallen, who will defend this Fenglingdu and Hebei County." What if Yang Feng leads his troops to counterattack? ”

Li Ru smiled: "Don't worry about this matter, the general wrote a letter to Huayin Duan and asked him to send troops to defend Fenglingdu, as for the Hongnong people, the army outside Tongguan is holding each other, and they will definitely not send troops to the north." In the city of Hebei, the general only needs to leave a few hundred men and horses, and the city is widely planted, Yang Feng and Han Xian are all rats, and it is not enough to protect Dayang, so they will definitely not dare to counterattack Hebei. So that the rear is worry-free. ”

Ma Chao said on the side, "There are few soldiers in Hebei, but there are 2,000 prisoners, in order to prevent them from causing chaos, it is better to pull them all out and cut them all!" ”

Li Ru hurriedly said, "The general must not, these people, Confucianism will have its own magic in the future!" ”
