Liu Qin's scouts still haven't found any trace of the Jin army, and he ordered the scout battalion officer with a black face: "From today on, the scouts who are sent to the six roads, especially in the direction of Shicheng, must be carefully inquired, and there is no slackness, I don't believe that the Jin army is really out of the way." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "The scout battalion officer was ordered to retreat.

Liu Qin looked at the marching map in the tent and was silent for a long time. In fact, the terrain and landforms around Lishi have been installed in his mind, as a general who was born and grew up in Si, fighting at the door of his home, and being familiar with both people and land, he has the upper hand. The reason why Liu Yuan sent Liu Qin to command his 20,000 cavalry was precisely for this reason. At the same time, Liu Qin was not only Liu Yuan's uncle and brother, but also the general who was the best at cavalry combat among the Xiongnu tribes. Liu Qin didn't have a little sense of complacency in his heart at the moment, on the contrary, he was under a lot of pressure in his heart.

The Jin army did not directly attack Lishi City as Liu Yuan and the lieutenant general discussed after discussion, which made the strategy of attacking from both sides fall short, and their cavalry became a lonely army hanging outside the city, and Liu Yuan's military order was only a simple sentence: "Decide on the spot." This is a great knowledge of making decisions on the spot. 20,000 cavalry is Liu Yuan's entire cavalry family, can not have any mistakes, the fatal thing is that until now, the enemy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, if they are not to attack Lishi City, but to see through their own intentions, all the forces turned to their own lone brigade, as long as the other party is stuck in the north slope of this choke point, they will be cut off the way back, the terrain of that place is a pass, ten thousand people can not open the dangerous place, the strength can not be opened, and can give full play to the advantages of infantry, once the strength of cavalry maneuver is lost, In terms of troops, they are at a disadvantage, they don't need to fight, they only need to defend for more than ten days, and their own people will run out of food, and the consequences will be unimaginable at that time.

However, if the enemy situation is unclear, it will break away from the northern slope and move closer to Lishi, which means that the original flanking strategy will be abandoned. Wouldn't that be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? At that time, I won't be able to explain it to Liu Yuan.

Liu Qin hesitated between advance and retreat, between opportunity and risk, and circled around the map, when suddenly, the soldiers outside the tent said in a loud voice: "General, the scouts have come to report and found traces of the enemy." ”

"Quick." Liu Qin immediately commanded.

The scout quickly stepped into the military tent, and just wanted to salute and pay homage, Liu Qin waved his hand to stop: "Tell me quickly, where is the enemy?" ”

The scout replied: "The last general led the scout camp across the northern slope of the mountain, and found that the Jin army with a mixed formation of 15,000 horses and feet was camped in Yangshuping. ”

Liu Qin was shocked, and ordered the people outside the tent in a loud voice: "Heralds, quickly send the generals of each battalion to the military tent, 100,000 urgent." ”

When the generals of each battalion arrived in a hurry, Liu Qin's order was only a short sentence: "The whole army should set off immediately, rush at full speed to attack the northern slope, and before dawn, be sure to highlight the northern slope and move closer to Shicheng, and there must be no mistake." ”

The Jin army camp in the middle of the night is exactly the same situation, but the content of the scout report is that there are several enemy scouts at the same time, and there are even skirmishes along the way, but there are military regulations in the scout camp, once the enemy must retreat with the whole body as the primary goal, retreat is not only no fault, but meritorious. This is also to ensure that no scouts fall into the hands of the enemy. Therefore, the scouts on both sides retreated at the touch of a button, and there were no prisoners and heavy casualties.

Yang Ke asked, "Are these scouts all coming from the same direction?" ”

"Yes, it's all from the northeast。。。。。。。"

Yang Ke and Tang Bin glanced at each other at the same time, and Yang Ke said, "Without further ado, you must get stuck on the north slope." ”

Tang Bin said: "I have only one worry, if the other party peeks into our intentions, it will definitely go day and night, in case an encounter is formed on the plain, I am only afraid of 。。。。。。 ”

Yang Ke looked at Ma Xiong: "Major General, you are the vanguard, take all the cavalry, seize the northern slope, and then fortify on the spot, the most important thing is time, if the enemy army is not expected, it will definitely come to seize here, I and Brother Confucian will lead the infantry later, no matter what, you have to hold out until we arrive, is there a problem?" ”

Ma Xiong patted his chest: "Don't worry, even if I fight to the last person, I will survive to the end." ”

Tang Bin shook his head: "Young General, the time of this battle is the most important, as long as you occupy the northern slope first, block the enemy according to the danger, and prevent Liu Yuan's cavalry from retreating from the stone, it is the first achievement, which is enough to determine the overall situation, don't talk about life and death lightly, you must protect yourself and block the enemy, this is the goal." ”

Ma Xiong nodded: "The last general remembers, time is pressing, I will lead the team to set off." ”

Looking at Ma Xiong's back in a hurry, Tang Bin looked at Yang Ke and said, "Childe, you lead your own military camp to the rear of the palace, I will follow Ma Xiong in the center and set off immediately." ”

Yang Ke smiled faintly and said: "Brother Confucianism, you still have to be a brother to fight a tiger, you are not sure to be a brother in this arrangement." ”

Tang Bin hurriedly said: "Childe, you are in danger of the imperial court, you can't make any mistakes here。。。。。。 ”

"Brother Confucianism's kindness I understand, needless to say, let's set off together。。。。。" Yang Ke's attitude is resolute and unquestionable.

Tang Bin and Yang Ke have been getting along for a long time, and they have always looked at him with a pleasant face, and never moved when they were unmotivated, but at this moment, what he saw was that Yang Ke was categorical and made a mountain side, Tang Bin was born with soldiers, and he was also a simple and simple personality, and he no longer argued at the moment, and gave an order to the pro-soldiers: "Pass the order, except for the baggage battalion behind the palace, bring all the materials and then march into the army, the rest of the battalions immediately set up troops, abandon the armor lightly, carry the antlers, travel day and night, and rush to the north slope, there must be no mistake, before the end of tomorrow, be sure to arrive, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

The first Han-Hungarian battle of the Jin Dynasty began to kick off near the remote north slope, in the dark night, the five fingers were not visible, the two teams of men and horses held fire at the same time, and rushed to the north slope of the two armies-----.

The generals of the two armies are very clear in their hearts that the key to the victory or defeat of this local war is who can reach the north slope first, and the victory or defeat of this local battle is related to the victory or defeat of the overall situation. Yang Ke thought to himself: "I heard that the soldiers are fast, but that is just a description of words, but after today's immersive forced march, I really understand that the speed of soldiers is by no means a concept, but a major event related to the life and death of tens of thousands of troops." ”
