Chapter 289: Vanguard Battle
Lelang County Taishou Mansion
Gongsun Gong is gathering the 150,000 troops of the entire Lelang to prepare for the war in the south, and immediately seize the capital of Donghao and recover the work of Donghao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ryomao! How's the preparation? Where have the enemy forces arrived now? Gongsun Gong asked.
Liang Mao pointed to the map and said, "The vanguard of Yicha's army is here, and the North Han River is high!" And the tail troops should have arrived here.
"No? Is it the Eastern Governor's Mansion that was once set up during the reign of the Western Han Dynasty? Gongsun Gong asked.
"Hehe, Lord Gongsun is really knowledgeable! Even this knows! Yes! The news from our inner line Wang Qiuji, as the rear tail, can only arrive here and wait for the passing of the advancing troops, and it is difficult to enter! Liang Mao smiled.
Gongsun Gong looked at the map and said: "The great cause of the Western Han Dynasty cannot be completed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, so let General Liaodong complete it for him!" The garrison of the army has been changed to a basket! “
Liang Mao looked at Gongsun Gong in confusion and said, "Is it too early for the army to move east to the border now?" “
"It's not early, so that when they start a war, they can invade Donghao to the greatest extent without being discovered, you think about it, if there is a war in the south, our scouts will be able to return for at least three days, so it will delay a lot of time! The army has not yet been sent for a long time, and it is already too late by the time the troops are mobilized, so it is better to directly display the border, wait for the war in the south to take Donghao in one fell swoop, and restore the land of the four counties of the Han Dynasty! Gongsun Gong said strategically.
"Okay, my subordinates will do it!"
Liang Mao also felt that Gongsun Gong's words did make some sense.

Donghao Gorgeous City
Before leaving, in order to prevent Zabula from rebelling, Yicha deliberately left 10,000 elite soldiers to guard the capital of Donghao, which is enough for the empty Donghao 10,000 elite soldiers to deter Zabula from coming in chaos, if there is a little wind and grass, immediately kill Zabula.
This is also the reason why Zabula must win the support of Lelang County in Liaodong.
"Hmph, these scum have occupied my city lord's mansion, and when my army captures the gorgeous, they will all be beheaded for public display!" Zabula was drinking sullen wine at home.
"Report to your Excellency! Someone outside the door asks to see you! The guards ran in and reported.
"Let him in!"
Zabula said without raising his head.
"Zabula, why is he drinking alone? What's going on inside the city? Have you got the city defense map? “
When Zabula heard this voice, he bowed down and saluted like a mouse seeing a cat: "I have seen Taifu!" “
This person is one of the pillar countries of Donghao, Linjiang Taifu, and his background is not small.
Linjiang is a native of Lingbei, and was a strategist who took refuge in Liaodong, and was appreciated by the leaders of Donghao by mistake, and tried to forge ahead and rectify Donghao, which made Donghao's national strength stronger, but it has always been oppressed by Goguryeo.
"Well, in this way, get the city defense map as soon as possible, and wait until Liaodong invades the city, so that Wang Qiuji will be gorgeous and realize the liberation of Donghao, so that the three of us will be the biggest kings of Donghao in the future!" Mrs. Linjiang said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll try my best to get it done, don't worry!" Zabula laughed.
This Taifu has a lot of background, and he has contacts with Gongsun Zhan's antiquity, which is the reason why he has always been able to contact Liaodong.
..............
The Yicha army had already advanced along the Beihan River, and the front troops Zhang Qiuju had just received the information.
Because of Zhang Qiuju's unauthorized stationing, the distance between the vanguard and the rear troops was compressed by dozens of miles.
A team of scouts ran to Zhang Qiuju's camp and reported: "General Yicha ordered General Zhang Qiuju to march and take Tucheng on the south bank!" “
"Yes, got it!" Zhang Qiuju lazily put on her coat and walked to the open space outside the camp tent, looking at the gray sky in the distance.
"Made, it's still raining, how can I attack?" Zhang Qiuju scolded angrily.
But when I thought of Icha's order, Zhang Qiuju was still more jealous, this Icha was the cousin of the king of Goguryeo Mountain, that is, the emperor's relatives, he was just a wild king, if he disobeyed the order and was killed by Yicha on the spot, no one would say a word when he returned to China, because Yicha was the right-hand man who helped the king of the mountain to obtain the throne, and the first hero in Goguryeo.
"General, it's better to be like this, the last general will lead 20,000 iron cavalry to take the lead, and you will wait for me to succeed in marching into Tucheng on the south bank, so it is easy to explain!" Zhang Yan, the general under his command, said.
"Good! My son and son can be taught, allocate 20,000 iron horsemen for you, go, for the father to sweep the battle for you! Zhang Qiuju said with a smile.
Zhang Yan is just a low-ranking officer, and he has always been mistaken for Zhang Qiuju's son because he has the same surname as Zhang Qiuju, and was later recognized by Zhang Qiuju as his godson.
Zhang Yan received 20,000 elites from Zhang Youju's 80,000 iron cavalry, and went to the southern bridgehead, the camp was nearly thirty miles away from the bridgehead, plus the rain curtain, it was difficult to see the battle situation clearly, Zhang Qiuju saw the 20,000 troops that gradually disappeared, sighed and returned to the camp tent to drink.
This sweeping array means that how can I have time to get wet in the rain in person on this rainy day, and Zhang Youju is still more at ease with this godson, and the 20,000 iron horsemen are not ready to deal with Liu Feng's army.
Zhang Yan led the army all the way to the south, and when he was a mile away from the bridge, he sent a team of scouts to investigate the enemy for fear of being ambushed.
In less than a moment, the scout returned.
"General! On the other side, it seems that there are many trenches dug by the enemy, and it is estimated that they are trying to block the advance of our iron cavalry! The scout reported.
Zhang Yan stood on the road one mile away from the bridgehead, looking at the scene at the bridgehead from a distance, the enemy army was so cunning!
He never dreamed that the enemy would arrive first, and dig a trench to block their advance!
"Hmph, is that even that going to stop us from moving forward? Dismount and rush over! Zhang Yan ordered.
"General, no! The biggest advantage of our iron cavalry is the horses, and getting off the horse is not equal to the hoplites? It's hard for us to just run, can we still talk about fighting? The cavalry leader said.
"Hmph, what do you say? The enemy set up a blocking trench at the bridgehead! We can't just sit here and wait," Zhang Yan said angrily.
"We can charge! Our armor and horses can push us through, and from a distance their trench is not very wide, and our horses should be able to cross it! Why don't you rush over? At most, we can lose some cavalry, so that we can make the most of our advantages when we enter the open field on the south bank of the river, and it is still much better to carry a horse than to rush straight over, what do you say, general," suggested the little leader.
"Good! Charge over, all the brothers charge me! Rush," Zhang Yan shouted.
With Zhang Yan's shout, 20,000 iron horsemen rushed towards the bridge.
Zhang Yan raised the bronze spear and shouted: "If you dare to retreat, there is no forgiveness for killing!" (To be continued.) )
