In May, the third year of Jianxing, as soon as Wei Shuo returned to Xiangping, the war machine in eastern Liaodong was activated, and a large number of soldiers, grain, grass, and ordnance were transferred to the front line of Changli and western Liaoning.

Many people are aware that the war in Youping is about to break out!

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the Jin army in the direction of Youzhou, with Shao Yuniang as the main general and Wei Xiong as the deputy general, commanded the 50,000 infantry cavalry coalition army to force the Duan clan in western Liaoning, which opened the prelude to the war!

Wei Shuo sat on the main seat and informed everyone of the latest enemy situation, "I have just received news that Changli Murong Diao and the end of the western section of Liaoxi have gathered nearly 100,000 cavalry in an attempt to resist stubbornly. The 100,000 cavalry seemed invincible, but in fact it was full of internal contradictions. Murong Diao just forcibly integrated Yuwen Xianbei by force, and did not convince everyone! ”

"This battle is related to whether Liaodong can unify the two states of Youping, the front-line soldiers are ready to defeat the Xianbei people, and you gentlemen must ensure the logistics supply of grain, grass, ordnance and other logistics in the rear."

"No! Please rest assured, the ministers will never dare to delay the front-line affairs! ”

Pei Wei, Huangfu Qi, Feng Xian, You Di and other subordinate officials of the county guard government got up one after another to assure Wei Shuo, and after arranging everything, Wei Shuo took Mo Han, Lu Chang, and Han Shou to the front line camp.

……

Linyu Town, the land of ancient Yuguan, is located between the north high mountain back cow top and the south Bohai Sea, the shape is dangerous to win, the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended.

In ancient times, "Yuguan" was a wide range of military defense zone concepts, south to the sea, north to the mountain, east to Shanhaiguan, northwest to Qinglongdu Mountain.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the status of Yuguan was not as important as in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there was no Linyuguan, and it was not placed in Linyuguan until the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty.

Linyu Town, located in the east of Yangle County, is just a small county town in the east of Liaoxi County. As a small town located inland, the Xianbei people living here never imagined that they would be attacked by the Jin army.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, at midnight, with the help of the two naval divisions of Laoshan and Liaodong, the infantry of the 3,000 Jin Army quietly entered the sea area near Linyu Town, preparing to seize Linyu Town by sea. In order to cut off the connection between Murong and the Duan clan, the main force of the Duan clan will be surrounded in the territory of western Liaoning!

"Ji Sima, what a godsend! Just now, the scout came to report that there were less than a thousand Xianbei people stationed in Linyu Town, and with the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, it only took one charge to defeat the Xianbei people! ”

Mr. Liu smiled and handed the military report in his hand to Ji Tang on the opposite side, this was the first time Ji Tang participated in a military operation after serving Liaodong, but he didn't expect to be given such an important task by Wei Shuo.

"Please ask Commander Liu to let the sailor brothers bring the boat close to the coast and cover the landing of the infantry brothers!"

Ji Tang left the cabin as soon as he gave up his hand. He had to go to the deck to get ready for landing.

As a grassland people, the Xianbei people did not attach importance to coastal defense at all, and they did not expect that the Jin army would attack from the sea. Therefore, when a large number of naval warships arrived at the coast, there was no obstruction at all, and the three thousand Jin infantry easily went ashore. After a short rest, the army went straight to Linyu Town under the leadership of Ji Tang.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Don't let go of a Xianbei person!"

Outside Linyu Town, there were sudden shouts of killing, and the Xianbei people in the city learned that the Jin army was coming, so they panicked and took up arms to prepare to resist. The Xianbei centurion stationed in the city drew the ring head knife at his waist and loudly commanded his subordinates to counterattack.

"Quick. Hurry, hurry up! The Jin army is coming! Fast. Take up arms and drive the Jin people out of the city! ”

Encountering a surprise attack, coupled with the absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, suddenly made the Xianbei people's defense line precarious, and they were defeated and retreated under the surprise attack of the three thousand Jin troops.

"Attack, attack!"

The Xianbei centurion roared back and forth in the formation, trying to boost the morale of the defenders. It's a pity that all this is in vain, and it is not enough to change the outcome on the battlefield in the general situation.

"My lord, quickly retreat, we can't hold it at all, the Jin army is too strong!"

"Damn it!"

The Xianbei centurion was furious. But there is nothing to be done. The battle had just begun, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses under the surprise attack of the Jin army, and there were less than 300 of the more than 900 people left, and their morale was extremely low. If we don't retreat, all the defenders will have the possibility of collapse.

"Alas! Retreat! ”

The Xianbei centurion had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

With the evacuation of Xianbei, Ji Tang led 3,000 sword and shield soldiers into Linyu Town, marking that the Jin army had cut off the road for the Duan clan to retreat to Changli, and surrounded the entire Duan clan in western Liaoning, creating favorable conditions for the complete annihilation of the Duan clan in western Liaoning in the future.

……

The Great Thorn City is the political, economic, and military center of the Murong tribe, and in the past, it was not inferior to some large cities in the Central Plains in terms of commerce and population size. Now, with the start of the war, the city is already full of rumors. On the streets, there are Xianbei soldiers patrolling everywhere, and the shops on both sides have long been closed, and the entire Great Thorn City has entered martial law.

Liaodong's sudden war against Murong Diao really frightened many people, and in recent years, with the strong rise of Wei Shuo, the situation in the north has been greatly changed, and the anti-Hu forces in the north have not collapsed with the defeat of Wang Jun as in history.

Murong Diao, Murong Yun, Murong Han, Murong Hao, and Murong Ren looked solemn, and they were all worried in the face of the sinister situation of the 140,000 Jin army pressing the border.

"I thought that the situation in Guanzhong would slow down the pace of Liaodong's offensive, but I didn't expect Wei Shuo to dare to put the safety of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an at risk, and insisted on destroying my Murong tribe first, if this battle was fought again next year!"

The Murong tribe had just annexed the Yuwen tribe and urgently needed time to integrate, and the later the war started, the better it would be for the Murong tribe. It's a pity that Wei Shuo is not a fool, he obviously sees through the weakness of the Murong tribe, and will never give them time to recuperate.

"Damn Wei Shuo, I knew he was so difficult, I shouldn't have let him grow big in the first place!" Murong Hao said hatefully.

Murong Han said with a bitter face: "What's the use of talking about this now?!" Let's think more about how to deal with the invading Jin army next! According to the scout's report, a total of 140,000 troops have been mobilized from the east and west of Liaodong. And the most terrible thing is that the government in Liaodong is harmonious, and for two consecutive years there has been a bumper grain harvest, and it has stored enough grain and grass, while we can only fight hungry. ”

The Xianbei people do not produce, and Changli is a desolate and remote place, without the help of the Han people, it is impossible to achieve self-sufficiency by relying on the Xianbei people alone. In addition, Wei Shuo strictly forbade the grain from Youping and Youping to enter Changli, resulting in Xianbei people living a life of hunger.

"It's hard to ...... Is there no other way? Didn't Duan Mobo promise us that he would not let a soldier of the Jin Army on the Western Road enter Changli? As long as the Duan clan can do this, can't we still clean up the Jin army in the east? ”

Murong Ren was a little young and vigorous, and felt that even if he couldn't defeat Liaodong with 100,000 tribal cavalry, he would not be defeated.

"Humph! At this time, we can't count on anyone, the key is to rely on ourselves! ”

When Murong Diao said this, he couldn't help but think of Song Gai again, originally Song Cai was very keen to cooperate with him, but later, as Wei Shuo's strength became stronger and stronger, Song Cai's attitude towards Murong Diao became more and more perfunctory, and now he is even more ignorant.

"The Duan clan has been frightened by the Liaodong army, and it is impossible to block the Youzhou Jin army, so they can't pin their hopes of victory on Duan Mobo! In this battle, I will personally lead the main force to meet the enemy, and strive to defeat the main force of the Jin army in the east in the shortest possible time! ”

At this moment, I saw a scout hurrying in,

"Qi Yu Da Dan Yu, Liaoxi Urgent: The Jin army captured Linyu Town and cut off the connection between Changli and Liaoxi!"

Murong Ren said with a look of disbelief on his face: "What?!" The Jin army captured Linyu Town?! How is this possible? Linyu Town is located in the east of Yangle, is it possible to fly over when the Jin army is not successful? ”

"Sailor! It was the sailor who attacked Linyu Town from the sea! Damn it! We all ignore the role of Liaodong Sailors! ”

Murong Diao's face was full of remorse, he should have thought of this, and he should have reminded Duan Mobo. But I didn't expect that carelessness would cause such serious consequences. Liaoxi and Changli have lost contact, where should the Murong tribe go? Is it to continue to fight the main force of the Jin army on the east road to the east? Or do you want to open up the connection with Liaoxi first? Murong Diao couldn't make a decision for a while! (To be continued.) )
