Chapter 67: Bianxi
"Report to the general, I just received the battle report, the rebels have evacuated their original station and fled along the upper reaches of the Longjiang River!"
A scout captain rode a war horse to the northern legion, and Guo Zijing, the commander of the western expedition, reported to him the latest situation from the scouts in front.
"It seems that you don't plan to fight us hard, so it's a bit of a problem."
Guo Zijing's brows furrowed high, they wanted to fight quickly, but the Western Army didn't fight with them, and playing such a game of cat and mouse might take a few more days. Although he thought that the commander of the Western Army was very smart, he could only consume them a little more time, and he never thought that they would be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
"Don't worry about it for now, keep chasing them, I don't believe they can run for long, and, by the way, notify the ministers to come over to me for a military meeting."
Thinking about it, it's just a few more days, Guo Zijing won't have so many worries, the little mouse can't go back and eat the strong big cat, right?
The Northern Corps bypassed Jincheng and continued to pursue the Western Army along the Longjiang River, they were very confident in the marching speed they had trained in the bitter cold of the Northern Frontier all year round, believing that it would not take long to catch up with the Western Army, as long as they did not lose it.
On the other side, Yun Ye didn't care about anything, just led the soldiers of the Western Army to run wildly. During this period of time, after the training of Yunye and Cold Thorn, the soldiers of the Western Army have fully adapted to the marching speed of this intensity, which is almost the same as their daily training intensity, and it is not much difficult for them now.
"The infantry speed up, the cavalry palace, dig more traps and trenches and barricades, pass by there and see a levee or something, dig what should be dug, make the land a little sticky, slow down their march."
Yun Ye rode his war horse, from the thousand troops to the rear army, and then from the rear army to the front army, constantly shouting that he would always instill his tactical thinking into all the soldiers, through the officers, or through his own mouth.
"Sure enough, everything before the war can only be planning and preparation, and if you really want to fight, you still have to see the moves."
Yun Ye muttered to himself, the situation that seemed unsolvable and even fatal before, now slowly became hopeful, and even they had a chance to turn over and defeat the Northern Legion, of course, whether these can be done depends on whether his soldiers are strong or not.
As long as you dare to fight, you are not afraid of losing, let alone death!
Yun Ye thought as he beckoned a group of cavalry to follow him to lay some traps.
In the camp of the Jin army in Longjiang, Chen Hui sat in the center of the big tent and issued a new combat order to his army.
The whole army held the Longjiang crossing to prevent the Kasians from crossing the river. For the time being, it will not participate in the struggle of other forces, nor will it accept other forces, and if any side tries to plot against itself, it will unite all parties to resist it.
Chen Hui's soldiers are also his die-hard followers, a generation of famous generals, love soldiers like life, for the country and the people are bloody, such a commander is too few, no one can bear to let him work too hard, so the soldiers are very good to carry out Chen Hui's orders, just guard the ferry and barracks every day, and prepare for the attack of the Western Army and the Northern Army.
The Great Jin Dynasty sent the Northern Frontier Corps into the Border West in the name of expelling the Kasians, and now the Northern Border Corps pounced on the Western Army like a hungry tiger as soon as they entered the Border West, but they disdained the Kasians, which made countless people in the Border West very annoyed, and they clamored to support the Western Army to defeat the Jin Army.
Each place will have its own local protection, and will want to support its own local forces against foreign forces. Not to mention this group of fierce people on the land of the border, the people of the north and the people of the border are equally brave, but because the imperial court tilts its resources and center of gravity to the north, the soldiers and horses in the north dare to claim the first army in the world.
But this statement was not recognized in Bianxi, and the people of Bianxi thought that their army was stronger than the soldiers and horses in the north, and it was only because of the partiality of the imperial court that they would get the first place. Therefore, this time the northern army entered the border west, and it was very rejected by the people of the border west, and almost all of them secretly prayed in their hearts that the western army could defeat the northern army, so that the border army could raise their eyebrows.
In particular, when the Western Army was at an absolute disadvantage, the people of the entire Bianxi began to spontaneously cover for the Western Army. Give the Western Army directions and lead them so that they can get from the path to another place faster. After the Western Army left, they began to lay traps on the road to create trouble and affect the speed of the pursuing Northern Legion.
Since the formation of the Western Army, there has never been a scandal, and there has never been any evil things such as burning, killing, looting, etc., and because of the all-out fight against the Kasians, it has won the love of the people of Bianxi. Now everywhere the Western Army passes, there will be many people in the western border who will spontaneously join the Western Army, follow them to resist the soldiers in the north, and fight for the ideals in their hearts.
"General, today there are hundreds of people who are willing to join us, fight with us, and fight with us for the future of Bianxi!"
In the Western Army, an ordinary soldier spat and shouted at Yun Ye, his loud voice so that everyone around him could hear what he was saying.
"Zhou Da, how many times have I said you, be subtle, look at you, you look like this all day long, how will you marry a daughter-in-law in the future!"
Yun Ye gently patted Zhou Da's shoulder, smiling and laughing at him. Zhou Da saw that the people around him were smiling, and naturally laughed happily.
"General, we have come all the way, there are many traps, and it seems that we are not very popular with the people here, and no one has come out to greet us wherever we have passed!"
In the Northern Border Corps, a general said to Guo Zijing with some anger.
There were countless traps and trips where they passed, and the roads were also damaged with potholes, making it uncomfortable to walk.
"It stands to reason that the western side of the border has always been dissatisfied with our northern border, so they will use this method in a vain attempt to drag us down and let us be defeated here, and then they will take the opportunity to promote their strength. But these are just wishful thinking, my soldiers in the north are invincible, and they are afraid of these little knife traps? Pass the order and continue the pursuit! ”
Guo Zijing said to his generals with some disdain, the soldiers in the north are the most powerful!
But in fact, he himself knew in his heart that he must fight quickly, otherwise if he drags on any longer, even if he wins, he will pay a heavy price, and if he loses too many troops, he will not have the strength to resist the Hun cavalry.
"Quick, the dirt of these traps is still new, they must be not far away, chase quickly!"
One of the generals inspected a trap and shouted loudly to the cavalry to attack quickly, but what they didn't know was that these traps were not dug by the soldiers of the Western Army.
