Chapter 810: Preparing for the Attack

Although Hua'an has understood Huan Wen's intentions and expressed concern about the situation in the direction of Jiankang City, this moment is indeed an excellent time to attack the Yan Dynasty coalition army, for this reason, Hua'an still decided to take this opportunity to launch an attack on the north bank of Yishui, thereby severely damaging the Yan Dynasty coalition army, and then greatly weakening the strength of the two Yan Dynasty countries, and then, according to the situation, decide whether to further attack to the north, or return to the south of the Yellow River to resist the influence of Huan Wen on Jiankang City.

In the Yan State camp on the north bank of Yishui, Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, suddenly became nervous, of course, this was not caused by the preparation of the Hua'an Legion on the other side of Yishui, but because the scouts of the Yan army discovered the Xie Ai Legion in the direction of Daijun.

The more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of Xie Ai's legion, including 20,000 main cavalry under Zhang Hao, 20,000 charioteers under Yang An, 20,000 reserve army soldiers, and of course, Xie Ai's 3,000 guards, a legion of such a size, although it is not the opponent of the main force of the Yan army, but at this moment, the main force of the Yan army is completely contained by the main force of Hua'an on the north bank of Yishui, and it is impossible to move at all, so it is naturally impossible to draw out troops to deal with this surprise attack under Xie Ai.

Murong Ke was very worried that Xie Ai's army would attack Jicheng, once Jicheng was threatened, he would have to send troops and horses to help, and in this way, the Yishui defense line would inevitably have loopholes, so he would not be able to resist the attack of Hua'an army.

"Fourth brother, Xie Ai's army suddenly raided Youzhou from Saiwai Avenue, and now, it has entered Dai County, posing a huge threat to the rear of our army and Jicheng, what should I do in such a situation?" Murong Ba looked at Murong Ke and said anxiously.

Obviously, in the face of the two-sided threat of the Jin army's superior soldiers. Murong Ba was completely panicked, and thought that it would be difficult to resist the Jin army's two-way attack no matter what, and besides, the Pu Jian army stationed in the lower reaches of Yishui was also a big threat.

Murong Ke frowned, and said helplessly: "According to the current situation, it is almost difficult for our army to hold the Yishui defense line, and once Yishui is lost, Fanyang City will soon be captured by the Jin army, and once the Jin army captures Fanyang City." It can be relied on by Fan Yang City. Enter Jicheng, and once Jicheng is threatened, my Great Yan Kingdom will be in danger. After speaking, he frowned deeply.

Obviously, Murong Ke didn't come up with a good way to deal with it. I had to accompany Murong Ba to sigh.

"Fourth brother. As reported by the scouts. The posture of the Xie Ai army seems to be to attack Jicheng, if this is the case. Our army has to rush to the aid no matter what, and Yi Shui is really difficult to hold! Murong Ba said helplessly.

Murong Ke thought for a moment and said softly, "Isn't there still an army of 30,000 under the command of the acting king?" If you send the soldiers and horses under the command of the acting king to gallop to help Jicheng, it can alleviate the situation in Jicheng, but the acting king is a generation of heroes, if the 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command are stationed in Jicheng, the second brother is afraid that he will be controlled by others! No, it will never work. ”

Obviously, Murong Ke thought of Tuoba Shi Yiqian on behalf of the king, but he thought that Tuoba Shi Yiqian was full of ambition, if his 30,000 soldiers and horses entered Jicheng, it was very likely that he would be anti-guest-oriented, and control the imperial family of Yan State with the advantage of military strength, so as to seize the society of Yan State by thunderous means.

"The fourth brother is right, the king is indeed not reliable enough, right now, the Pu Jian army is stationed in the lower reaches of Yishui, posing a threat to the flank of our army, you can immediately let the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the king of the acting king go to the downstream of Yishui to station, so as to deal with the threat of the Pu Jian army, and the main force of our army can divide a part of the soldiers and horses to gallop to help Jicheng, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are stuck in the direction of Yishui, in addition, our army seems to have no better choice." Murong Ba Zhengse said.

Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "It seems that it can only be like this, but in this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to defend on both sides!" After saying that, he seemed even more worried.

After some deep thought, Murong Ke felt that Jicheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the 60,000 soldiers and horses under Xie Ai were all troops who were good at field warfare, so only 20,000 soldiers and horses needed to return to Jicheng was enough to hold Jicheng, and the remaining 160,000 main soldiers and horses were stationed on the north bank of Yishui, confronting the main force of the 250,000 Jin army on the south bank.

"Report, General, the king's secret letter." Just when Murong Ke had arranged a countermeasure, Murong Jun's will was sent to Murong Ke's hands.

Murong Ke didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the letter and read it.

"Fourth brother, what did the second brother say?" Seeing Murong Ke's puzzled and relaxed expression, Murong Ba hurriedly asked.

Murong Ke handed the letter to Murong Ba, and said: "The second brother said in the letter that the Great Jin Imperial Court has agreed to take Yishui as the boundary with my Great Yan Kingdom, and has already sent envoys to the south bank of Yishui to give orders, but I don't know if Hua'an will obey the will of the Great Jin Imperial Court, so I specially wrote a letter to let our army closely observe the situation on the other side and be ready to negotiate peace with the Jin army at any time." ”

Murong Ba looked at the secret letter carefully, and said with a straight face: "Fourth brother, the main force of the Jin army on the other side has been stepping up preparations for war, and it seems that there is no intention of peace talks, it seems that our army cannot have too many illusions about peace talks, and should be ready to fight at any time." ”

"That's right! The Great Jin Dynasty has long existed in name only, and all the real power is in the hands of the border generals. Murong Ke said seriously.

Murong Ba sighed and said softly: "Fourth brother, now, the soldiers and horses under the command of Hua'an have an absolute advantage, and there is such a good opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no peace talks with our army, but will definitely launch an attack, and our army must be vigilant." ”

Murong Ke nodded, and said: "Xie Ai's army can approach Jicheng in a few days, and immediately transfer 20,000 horses from the main army to reinforce Jicheng, and the remaining 160,000 troops must be vigilant, and the Jin army on the south bank of Yishui must not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the acting king must immediately reinforce the lower reaches of Yishui and block the nearly 50,000 troops under Pu Jian's command." ”

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I'll arrange these things!" Murong Ba answered, and then turned around and went to prepare.

After Murong Ba left the big tent of the Chinese army, Murong Ke held his forehead with one hand and fell into deep thought, although the situation at the moment was quite crisis, but as the general of Yan State, he had to hold up the sky of Yan State, although the hope of defeating the Jin army was not very great, but he also had to try his best, even if he was broken, he would not be afraid.

At this time, the Hua'an Legion had been very well prepared, and the Xie Ai Legion had also arrived in the direction of Daijun, Murong Ke felt that the Hua'an Legion should launch an attack soon, so he did not dare to slack off, and immediately asked his henchmen and lieutenants to go forward to give orders, so that all armies could strengthen their defenses, especially to pay close attention to the north bank of Yishui, every move of the Jin army camp.

#####

In the Jin army camp on the south bank of Yishui, the forward soldiers and horses of the Jin army are actively preparing for battle, at this time, it is already dusk, there are still a few hours before the attack, and the soldiers are very confident, after all, the moon formation has been trained by them very skillfully.

After preparing for more than an hour, the Jin army's forward soldiers and horses were completely ready, and with only an order from Hua'an, they could immediately launch a fierce attack from multiple positions.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Hua An was in the big tent of the Chinese army, seriously thinking about the various situations that would be encountered after the attack was launched, and how to deal with them.

"Your Majesty, the forward soldiers are fully ready to attack at any time." Wang San entered the big tent of the Chinese army and reported with his fists hugged.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "Wang San, do you think that tonight's attack, our army will be able to break through the Yan army's Yishui defense line?" ”

Wang San said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, with the powerful power of our army's moon formation, the cavalry of the Yan army is powerless to stop it, and in a battle tonight, our army will definitely be able to break through the Yishui defense line of the Yan army and comprehensively defeat the main force of the Yan army." ”

Seeing that Wang San was so confident, Hua An was very satisfied, which showed that the morale of the army under his command was the same, however, the main commander of the Yan army on the north bank of Yishui was Murong Ke, the first general of Yan State, and Ran Min, the first brave general of Megatron Huaxia, was captured alive by him, and Hua An was still a little worried about the direction of Yishui defended by Murong Ke.

"Your Majesty, our army has an absolute advantage, what else do you have to worry about?" Seeing Hua An frowning slightly, Wang San said loudly.

Hua An paused for a moment, and said: "Our army does have a huge advantage over the Yan army, but Murong Ke is the first general of the Yan country, so I am naturally a little worried in my heart, after all, once the moon formation cannot withstand the counterattack of the Yan army, our army's operation tonight will be a complete failure, and the soldiers in the vanguard will also suffer heavy losses." ”

When Wang San heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, our army has already used the Moon Formation once, and the Yan State cavalry is not able to break through it at all, even if Murong Ke personally commands it, it is helpless to deal with our army's Moon Formation, and the king does not have to worry about this at all." ”

Obviously, Wang San felt that it was impossible for the iron cavalry under Murong Ke to break through the strong defense of the Qiyue Array, so he was already very confident that as long as the main army attacked, the army of Yan would be powerless to resist, and the Yishui defense line could be broken in one battle.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "This king also thinks that most of our army can break through the Yishui defense line in one battle, but as a general, we must always consider the worst-case scenario, in case our army loses in attack, there is a way out." ”

When Wang San heard this, he felt that what Hua An said made some sense, paused, and said: "What the king said is that our army should indeed be prepared to deal with emergencies, and the more than 100 warships in Shuizhai can provide a reliable retreat for the soldiers attacking in front. ”

Hearing this, Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and decided to dispatch all the warships of Shuizhai to cover the forward soldiers and horses that launched the attack across the river. (To be continued......)
