Chapter 80: Precarious

Yang Ke smiled faintly: "This time the Hun cavalry was blocked by us outside the northern slope, but unfortunately there are still fish that slipped through the net, nearly a thousand cavalry fled back, it is estimated that Liu Yuan will receive the news tomorrow."

Ma Long's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this: "Brother, do you want to hit him halfway?" ”

Yang Ke shook his head: "It will be your general's duty to dispatch troops, and I didn't say anything." After saying that, like no one, he turned around and walked out of the big tent and floated away.

Ma Long was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, Yang Ke wanted to give credit to himself. I can't help but be secretly grateful. Secretly thought to himself: "It is impossible for Liu Yuan to abandon his cavalry and not to rescue, that is the elite of the Hun army, and it is also Liu Yuan's descendant, but when will Liu Yuan send troops to rescue?" Where will they be in ambush? When the difference between the two sides' forces is not large, how to annihilate Liu Yuan? This time it was Yang Ke who gave him a great favor, if he couldn't grasp it, he couldn't explain it in public or private. Thinking of this, he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and ordered all the lieutenant generals and colonels in the battalion to come to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss matters.

After the drum sounded three times, a group of generals gathered in the big tent, and Ma Long informed his subordinates of the news of the victory on the north slope, and everyone was excited and anxious when they heard it. Excited was the victory in the first battle, anxious that the forward battalion was fighting impressively, and the generals as the main force had not yet made an inch. Ma Long is old in the army, how can he not understand the thoughts of everyone: "You don't have to mutter, there will be a great merit to you soon, but it depends on whether you can receive it。。。。。。 ”

"Please give the order to the general, and we will definitely respect the order." The generals all scrambled to be the first, looking at Malone with expectant eyes.

Malone gave a clear explanation of the current situation between the enemy and us: "In the battle of the northern slope, the forward battalion deliberately let go of a small number of defeated troops, and by tomorrow morning, it should be able to escape back to Lishi City to report the news. And the main force of the cavalry is now trapped in the north, becoming a lone army, and it will have to run out of food after holding out for a few days. Liu Yuan will inevitably go to save them, we will set up an ambush halfway, and today we have to seize the time to discuss how to fight this battle. ”

As soon as Ma Long's words came out, all the generals understood that at this time, the Jin army absolutely grasped the initiative on the battlefield, so they offered suggestions one after another, and the discussion in the big tent of the Chinese army was in full swing.

Strategic deployment and planning may be just a sentence or an idea, but it is not so simple when it comes to tactics and details. The comparison of the forces of the two sides, the estimation and analysis of the troops, whether Liu Yuan would make a desperate bet to send the whole army, or leave part of the city to defend the city and send the main force to dispatch, or even whether it is possible to directly attack the main force of the Chinese army and then rescue the Hun cavalry, etc. Each change will produce a completely different style of play, the selection of terrain, the allocation of troops, the deployment of materials, and the division of the tasks of the school, which has been discussed for several hours before the various plans are formulated in great detail. After the deliberations were over, the subordinates returned to the camp one after another and went to make preparations in full swing. Malone stretched and shuffled out of the tent with tired steps. Outside the big tent, it was already the middle of the moon, and the big camp was full of the noisy sound of arming and fighting. Malone looked at the heavy night sky, took a deep breath, and the cool breeze entered his heart, which lifted the whole person's spirits. He said to himself: "The heavens bless my Great Jin army to win a complete victory in this battle, and I also hope that the two vassal kings will not move and relieve this breath, and the Great Jin will be able to survive this catastrophe." ”

"The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, the general strategizes, plans Zhou Xiang, and prepares carefully, the sky will also see it, and it will bless me Dajin." A voice sounded, and Ma Long followed the sound to see that it was Yang Ke who walked over slowly.

"Brother, why haven't you slept yet?" Ma Long asked with concern: "You just experienced a big battle, and you are running back and forth, so it's better to rest early." ”

"General, you are loyal to state affairs, you are older than me, and your burden is heavier than mine, and you are still gathering generals to discuss matters late at night, I don't dare to be lazy." Yang Ke said with a smile.

"Brother, I'm used to being in the army, brother, you're different, your body is expensive." Malone quipped.

Yang Ke clasped his fists and saluted: "Just now, the general gathered to discuss the matter, Ke didn't bother, now he is here to say goodbye to the general, I want to rush back to the north slope, does the general have any orders?" ”

Ma Long stretched out his hand and held Yang Ke's hands: "Brother, although you and I are new friends, but at first sight, to be honest, the general in the army and the overseers sent by the imperial court are not in agreement, but you, brother, really let me Ma Long admire the five bodies, not only Ma Long's luck, but also the blessing of the court." The battle on the north slope is entrusted to you, brother, knowing that you are concerned about the war situation, I will not advise you, brother must take care of your noble body, on the day of the triumph of the army, I and my brother you were drunk for three days. ”

Yang Ke looked at Ma Long's eyes full of concern, and was also very moved: "The general should also be cherished, you are the commander of the three armies, and you can't make any mistakes, I am waiting to drink the general's celebration wine." ”

The two said goodbye, Yang Ke rushed to the north slope overnight, Malone also entered the big tent, a wave of scouts patrolled back and forth in the direction of Shicheng day and night, Malone summarized the endless military information one by one in front of the sand table, and then re-marked it on the sand table according to the changing enemy situation, and the lights in the big tent were bright, and the night was endless.

Liu Yuan, who was away from the stone city, also stayed awake all night at the moment, but he didn't have the calmness and calmness of Yang Ke and Ma Long. Liu Yuan's eyes were full of red silk, and from the moment he saw the small cavalry that had fled back from the northern slope, his heart was full of chagrin and self-blame.

"It's too careless to underestimate the enemy, just because Malone is good at using weapons and is good at attacking the city, he judges that the enemy will take the stone city as the main direction of attack, and let the cavalry troops hang alone outside the stone city, this step is too big and too anxious." Liu Yuan walked back and forth in the lobby, muttering to himself. The generals and tribal leaders were also looking at their commanders with anxious eyes.

"Shan Yu, Liu Qin is in the hands of my Huns' elite cavalry, you have to make a decision early, the military rations they carry with them can support ten days at most, once the food is broken, there will be a catastrophe." It was Liu Ang, the general under Liu Yuan's account, who was also Liu Qin's younger brother, the eldest brother was in distress, of course he was burning in his heart, and he hated to lead the troops to the rescue immediately.

"Yes, Shan Yu, you have to make a decision early." The generals were also clamoring.

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Liu Yuan calmed down on the contrary, and he suddenly realized that he was the lord of the Huns, and in an unfavorable situation, he could no longer take the enemy lightly and take a desperate risk.

"General Liu is an old soldier, even if he can't rush out of the north slope, he will not sit still, from the north slope of the detour of more than 100 miles, he can still avoid the Jin army, retreat away from Shicheng." Liu Yuan comforted the generals.

"Shan Yu, General Liu has always been loyal to his duties, and it is impossible to evacuate without military orders, even if he thinks of retreating, the more than 100 miles is a vast desert, deserted, and it is unpredictable for this cavalry army to walk in." Liu Ang hurriedly reminded Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and stopped Liu Ang's words: "General Liu is in trouble, how can Ben Shan not be anxious, but at this moment, Ma Long must have set up an ambush waiting for us in the middle of the road, we rashly divided our troops to rescue, we must have fallen into his arms, not only could not save General Liu at that time, but even leaving Shicheng was in danger." ”
