Liaodong, Great Thorn City, Murong Diao's Mansion

Da Shan Yu sat at the top with a gloomy face, and his son and several henchmen also sat down at the bottom with panicked eyes. Everyone present did not expect that the Jin army would react so quickly, and as soon as the news of Murong's rebellion came out, the Jin army launched a fierce attack on the Murong tribe.

In less than ten days, Fanyangguo, Xuanwu County, and Liaodong County were raided by the Jin army, and the front-line troops were unable to organize effective resistance in the face of the Jin army's attack. If you lose the territory of Youzhou, you will lose it, after all, Fan Yangguo is under the nose of the Jin army, and it is like having fun to take Fan Yang with the combat effectiveness of the Xiang army.

What worries Murong Diao the most is that a large number of Jin troops have appeared at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, and since receiving the news that the Yu clan has fallen into the hands of the Jin army, Murong Diao knows that the most critical moment for the Murong tribe has arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the conflict between the Great Jin and us has broken out, according to the news from the front, we have suffered great losses, and nearly 10,000 soldiers have died at the hands of the Jin army, and the Xiang army is only a few hundred." Murong Diao's tone was dull, and it could be seen that he was not in a good mood.

"Alas! No one thought that the navy of the Great Jin Dynasty would still have this role, and it only took a hundred warships to land thousands of soldiers and horses on the Liaodong Peninsula. And we have no naval strength, so we can only let the Jin army choose a landing site in the coastal area, so that our defensive pressure will be greatly increased! "The Seven Tribulations of the Long History Building are also extremely depressed, and in the face of the blows of the Great Jin Navy, the elites of the Murong tribe are completely helpless.

"Yes! We didn't realize that the navy could still be used like this, if we had a navy as powerful as the Great Jin. It is completely possible to land in Qingzhou and dig directly into the hinterland of Dajin. At the moment, it is too late for us to develop, and without the navy, we cannot resist the landing operation of the Dajin Navy. Although Murong Diao is talented, in the face of this novel combat method, he still feels that his brain is a little insufficient.

This time, the Jin army used naval landing operations, which caused a huge impact on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Xianbei troops stationed in Wuci, an important town on the northern line of Mazishui, were afraid of being cut off from retreat, so they immediately abandoned their existing positions and retreated to Xiangping, the national governance center of Liaodong. This made the 'three-point-one-line' defense system that Murong Diao had always insisted on completely collapse.

The so-called three-point-one-line defense system refers to the defense system built by Murong Diao in order to control Liaodong County and to guard against the Goguryeo people after he obtained the ruling power of Liaodong County. In this system, its main body is based on the three cities of Wuci, Wuxi, and Houcheng. and established a defense system covering most of the Liaodong Peninsula.

These three cities are located in three directions of Liaodong County. The city of Xiangping is located in the center of the triangle composed of these three cities, and Xiangping acts as the center of the entire defense system, and then connecting any two of them can form a solid line of defense.

It was this defense system that the Murong tribe relied on to make them face Goguryeo in the northeast. It is also the Samhan Peninsula in the southeast. They are all more than enough. In fact, before the Jin army landed on the Yu clan. The Tao Kan Department of the Jin Army has been blocked by the Xianbei people and cannot move south of Mazishui.

It's a pity that such a seemingly stable defense system was broken by the Jin army. In order to prevent the Jin army from surrounding Wuci from behind, Murong Diao had to order the Xianbei people to retreat to Xiangping.

"The infantry firepower of the Jin army is very strong. In the past, our Hu cavalry was synonymous with invincibility, but since the birth of the Great Jin Xiang Army, our cavalry no longer has any advantage in the face of the Han infantry. Unless we have firearms that are more powerful than the Jin army, we will definitely lose this war! Seven Difficulties continued.

"Could it be that we can only be beaten passively in the face of the Jin army's attack?" Murong Diao couldn't help frowning.

"Although this fact is a bit cruel to us, I have to say that it is true. When the Jin army had just landed at the Lan clan, we did not think about driving the other side into the sea, but unfortunately in the face of the threat of heavy artillery on the warships of the Great Jin Navy, all military operations ended in failure. ”

Murong Diao's face sank suddenly when he heard this, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei troops over the years, their Murong tribe had bought weapons from the Great Jin, but now it was the result, how could he not make him feel angry?

"So, what do we do next?" Murong Diao asked.

"Da Danyu, if the Jin army launches a new offensive, we will have to fight to the death! Other than that, there is no other way. Qiyanlou said with some bitterness. He knew that if the Xiang army launched a new round of offensive, the Murong tribe would have no other way to retreat except for a decisive battle.

"Damn Duan Wu Muchen and Yuwen Mogui, at this time, they are still hesitating, and sooner or later they will regret it! At this time, they even wanted us to fight with the Jin army, and then they picked up the bargain behind. The two old horsemen didn't want to think about what would happen to them if we were defeated. Didn't they know that once the Jin army won this battle, they would rise completely, and then there would be an unprecedented empire. Don't say that the whole of Liaodong and even the whole world will be shrouded in the glory of the Han people again! Murong Diao said hatefully, it turned out that the other two Xianbei who had said well before After seeing that the Jin army had put the main target on the Murong tribe, the two of them actually thought carefully again.

"Changshi, you go and contact the other two departments, explain to them the impact of our defeat, and strive for them to send troops as soon as possible!"

"Han'er, your mission is to mobilize the entire tribe and conscript all those who can afford to carry weapons. Since we are inferior to the box army in terms of quality, we are superior to each other in quantity. Murong Diao said after thinking deeply.

"Guys, there's no way back, anyway. Fortunately, the Murong tribe is not fighting alone, and we still have allies. As long as everyone works together, the final victory must belong to our Murong family! Murong Diao said in a deep voice.

"Let's talk about the defense in the future! We have to discuss how to deal with the Xiang army. This time, the Xiang army attacked in a big way, and it was so well prepared, it would definitely not be so easy to defeat! Murong Diao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Father Khan, since the Jin army wants to swallow the Murong tribe in one bite, then let's fight them to the death! Father Khan, please allow Erchen to lead the army out of the city and fight to the death with the Jin army! When Murong Han heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Han'er, get up first, you have this ambition, this is very gratifying. However, now is not the time to be rash, the Jin army is strong, and if we rush to send troops, it is very likely that the Jin army will seize the opportunity and be defeated. Murong Diao didn't follow his son's advice in a hurry, after all, he was experienced and considered much more comprehensively.

"This time, the Xiang army attacked in a big way, and it was a life-and-death battle for the entire Murong tribe. Only by defeating the Jin army can the Murong family keep Liaodong and the foundation of the Murong family. Now that it is time for life and death, please make sure you work together to fight against the Jin army. Murong Diao reminded.

"In addition, we have to counterattack, and we can't let the Jin army attack. The advantage of the Xianbei cavalry was to be mobile and to attack, not to defend the city. The Jin army has strong firepower, and if they attack the city with artillery, we won't be able to defend it at all! Therefore, as long as we take the initiative to attack and completely destroy them in the field, we can win! Murong Diao said loudly.

"Big order is wise!"

"Da Shan Yu is right, with the strength of the Jin army, I am afraid that all the important towns along the way have been captured by it. Therefore, I think that we should no longer divide our troops to garrison various places, but should concentrate all the field cavalry, and then cooperate with the defending troops to find an opportunity to eliminate the Jin army in one fell swoop! Seven Difficulties House suggested.

"Do you have any good suggestions for the location of the decisive battle?" Murong Diao asked.

"Da Dan Yu, after the Jin army took Wuci, Xiangping was exposed to the Jin army's troops, so the direction of their next attack must be Xiangping. Now that we have 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed there, I think we should send capable generals to hold on to Xiangping and drag the attacking troops of the Jin army under the city of Xiangping. Then we secretly mobilized elite forces, took Xiangping as the final decisive battle, defeated the Jin army in one battle, and completely cut off the Jin army's attempt to annex my Murong tribe! Seven floors said.

"Decisive battle for Xiangping?" Murong Diao muttered to himself when he heard this, then got up and stopped in front of the Liaodong map spread out on the table next to him. If it is a decisive battle in Xiangping, I am afraid that all military strength will have to be exhausted. After fighting this one, whether you will lose or win, I'm afraid only God will know.

"Well, instead of dying, it's better to have a vigorous battle! Since the Jin army wants to fight, then we will have a decisive battle with them. With Xiangping as the center, we fought to the death with the Jin army on the Liao Plain, and completely defeated the Jin army with the cavalry we are good at. Order the defenders of Xiangping to be sure to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, and not to go out of the city to engage the Jin army without authorization before the arrival of the army. Ordered the defenders of Wuxian and Houcheng, except for a small number of soldiers who left behind to defend the city, the rest of the main force immediately prepared to set off, and went to Xiangping City ten days later, ready to fight to the death with the Jin army! In addition, notify the Duan Department and the Yuwen Department and ask them to send some elites to participate in this battle! Now that he had made up his mind, Murong Diao quickly and calmly issued the battle order.

"Obey, Da Danyu!" The Xianbei people present will rise and bow to the ground.

As soon as Murong Diao's order was issued, the entire Great Thorn City suddenly became nervous, and the soldiers and horses of all departments were mobilized, ready to fight at any time. At the same time, the envoys sent to the Duan Department and the Ubun Department have also set out.

Soon the entire city of Great Thorn was in action, and several groups of cavalry rushed to all directions to deliver orders. The lurking Jin army spies heard the news and tried every means to prepare to probe the latest movements of the Murong tribe. At the same time, as the Jin army continued to advance north on the Liaodong Peninsula, a big battle was about to start around Xiangping to determine the fate of the Hu people in Liaodong!
