Xie Ai and the main army of 100,000 under his command entered and occupied Jiuyuan City in Xinxing County, while Daiwang Tuoba Shi Yijian personally led 130,000 cavalry to reinforce Jinchang City from the direction of Shengle City, and after converging with the 20,000 cavalry of Jinchang City, the total strength of the Daiguo army will be as high as 150,000 people.

Jiuyuan City and Jinchang City are dozens of miles apart, and the two sides are separated by dozens of miles of wilderness, relying on the city to launch a fierce confrontation.

In order to test Xie Ai's strategic intentions, Tuoba Shi Yijian sent a small number of troops to launch a feint attack in the direction of Jiuyuan City from time to time, but they were completely defeated by Xie Ai.

At this time, due to the 20,000 charioteers pressing the formation, the strength of Xie Ai's legion was not weaker than the main force of Daiguo, however, on the way from Jiuyuan City to Jinchang City, it was not all open and flat land, so the charioteers could not gallop wantonly, for this reason, Xie Ai was not in a hurry to attack Jinchang City, but stationed Jiuyuan City with all his strength, and notified Wang Meng's army in the direction of Liangshan to let Wang Meng's army kill from the flank and raid the flank of the Daiguo army in order to achieve an unexpected victory.

In the direction of Liangshan, after many days of reconnaissance, Wang Meng already had a relatively clear understanding of the situation in the northern part of Bingzhou, and also had a preliminary plan for how to cooperate with Xie Ai's army to defeat the Dai Guo army.

In order to cooperate with Xie Ai's army and defeat the main army of Dai Wang Tuoba Shi Yijian, Wang Meng gathered his main generals and launched an active deployment.

In Wang Meng's Chinese army tent, Wang Meng looked at the topographic map of Bingzhou in front of him, and said: "Generals, now, General Xie's 100,000 main forces are stationed in Jiuyuan City, and Tuoba Shiyijian's 150,000 main forces are stationed in Jinchang City, which is not far north of Jiuyuan City. The two sides are separated by a distance of dozens of miles, and a fierce confrontation has begun, at this time, if our 100,000 cavalry raids from the flank, goes around to the rear of Jinchang City, and attacks the Tuoba Shi wing key with the Xie Ai army in the direction of Jiuyuan City, what kind of scene do you say? After speaking, he looked at the generals.

A subordinate general hugged his fists and said: "General, if our army can be inserted into the back of Jin Changcheng." and General Xie's soldiers and horses surrounded the army of the country. It is not impossible to re-create the main army under the command of Tuoba Shiyijian, and then, to destroy the country in one fell swoop. ”

"General. At this time, it was an excellent time for our army to raid the flank of Jinchang City. Don't miss the opportunity. Our army should immediately set off and raid Jinchang City. Another general said loudly.

Wang Meng nodded and said loudly: "The generals are right, this is the perfect time for our army to raid Jinchang City. The general has made up his mind, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off one after another, and detour from the flank to the rear of Jinchang City......"

"Report, General, General Xie is in a hurry." At this moment, a small school sent Xie Ai's urgent letter.

Wang Meng smiled, took the letter, looked at the generals, and said softly: "General Xie must be going to our army to make a detour to Jinchang City." As he spoke, he opened the letter.

The content of the letter, naturally, was exactly as Wang Meng expected, and it was a letter from Xie Ai asking Wang Meng to detour to the rear of the main army of the country.

Subsequently, the generals under Wang Meng's command began to gather the main army under their respective commands, and did a good job of pulling out the camp and marching north on the second day and detouring to the rear of Jinchang City.

Early in the morning of the second day, the 100,000 main cavalry under the command of Wang Meng were assembled in their respective assembly areas, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they ran along the mountain paths in the west of Bingzhou to the rear of Jinchang City.

In the direction of Jizhou, Hua'an and the 200,000 main army under his command have successively entered the central part of Jizhou and set up camp in Xiabo City in Anping County.

Not far from the north gate of Xiabo City, it is the downstream area of Zhangshui, as long as you cross Zhangshui, you will enter Wusui County, and the north area of Wusui County is Lukou City.

At this time, in Lukou City and Wusui City, the 50,000 army under Pu Jian's command and the 80,000 army led by Murong Ping were stepping up their deployment, and the 100,000 main army led by Murong Ke and Murong Ba also arrived less than 20 miles north of Lukou City.

Of course, Murong Ke's goal was not to defend Lukou City, but to take the opportunity to break the main army under Hua'an's command in order to avenge the humiliation of Hua'an's defeat near Yecheng the year before.

Murong Ke felt that the last time he failed, it was because the army under his command was blocked by Zhangshui, and as the attacker, he had to find a way to cross Zhangshui, so that Hua'an had a chance to take advantage of it, and this time, the situation was different, this time it was Hua'an who took the initiative to attack in the direction of Lukou City, and it was Hua'an's task to cross Zhangshui by taking a pontoon bridge, and he and his army could take advantage of Hua'an's army to cross tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, launch a fierce attack, and then achieve the heavy result of destroying tens of thousands of enemies.

At this time, in order to prevent Hua'an's main army from suddenly crossing Zhangshui, Pu Jian and Murong Ping had already deployed most of their soldiers and horses near the shore of Zhangshui, and sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor every move on the south bank of Zhangshui.

In the face of the strict defense of the Yan army, Hua'an is not worried at all, because, now, the main army under his command is already a powerful force with a complete range of arms, as long as it is closely cooperated, it is not difficult to successfully cross Zhangshui, besides, Hua'an already has a detailed plan for forcibly crossing Zhangshui, as long as the army under his command prepares enough equipment to build pontoon bridges, you can immediately start the operation of forcibly crossing Zhangshui.

In Hua'an's Chinese army tent, Hua'an is waiting for the report of the scouts in front, as long as the deployment of the Yan army is determined, Hua'an can immediately start the operation of forcibly crossing the Zhangshui.

It didn't take long for dozens of scouts sent to the north bank of Zhangshui to return to the camp one after another, and made a careful report to Hua'an on the specific arrangements of the main army of the Yan State.

After listening to the reports of the scouts, Hua'an and his subordinate generals already knew the layout of the Yan army, but for how to force the Zhangshui, except for Hua'an, all the generals felt that it was difficult to achieve, after all, the arrangement of the Yan army on the north bank of Zhangshui was too tight, and there was almost no gap that could be broken through.

Seeing that all the generals were a little worried, Hua An smiled and said softly: "Generals, you see, now Murong Ke's 100,000 main cavalry is still north of Rongshui, and the enemy army on the north bank of Zhangshui is only Murong Ping's 80,000 troops and Pu Jian's 50,000 horses. Why do you sigh here for a long time? ”

When Wang San heard this, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Yan army on the other side is only 130,000 people, and its strength is far weaker than our army, but Zhangshui blocks the way for our army's surprise attack, and the Yan army arranges a large army and many scouts along the north bank of Zhangshui, which poses a great threat to our army's people and horses crossing the river, I am afraid that our army will be discovered by the Yan scouts as soon as it begins to cross the river, and when our army's soldiers and horses cross less than 1,000 people, it will be besieged by tens of thousands of Yan troops, and our army will not be able to cross Zhangshui in a short time. will face the danger of being broken by the Yan army, so it is extremely unfavorable to our army! ”

"Yes! Wang, the last time the army of more than 10,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom was completely annihilated by our army, it was because the main force of the Yan army was blocked on the north bank of Zhangshui, and it was impossible to reinforce the army that had crossed Zhangshui, which led to a fiasco! How can our army repeat the mistakes of the Yan army. Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

When Deng Qiang heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "If you want to successfully cross Zhangshui, you must attack the east and west, and take advantage of the fact that the Yan army is not paying attention, let tens of thousands of elite troops cross Zhangshui as much as possible, so as to gradually expand the results of the battle." ”

"To put it lightly, how can it be so easy to let the army of Yan Guo be fooled, besides, Murong Ke's 100,000 main army is not far from Lukou City, once Murong Ke's main cavalry arrives on the north bank of Zhangshui, even if the main force of our army crosses most of Zhangshui, it may not be able to win!" Chen Poyu objected softly.

When Deng Qiang heard this, he said angrily: "Then what do you say, do you want our army to stand still and wait for the news in the direction of the annexation of the state?" After saying that, he was a little angry.

Deng Qiang said that the news of waiting for the direction of Bingzhou refers to the fact that Wang Meng's army and Xie Ai's army completely defeated the main army of Daiguo and joined forces to reinforce the direction of Lukou City, as long as Wang Meng's army and Xie Ai's army came to reinforce it, the army of Yan State would naturally be defeated, but in this way, Xie Ai's army and Wang Meng's army must be famous, and Hua'an's headquarters army will be overshadowed, so although you can wait for such an opportunity, all the generals are not very reluctant, after all, every general hopes to establish outstanding merits.

Hua An waved his hand lightly, and said: "Bingzhou is thousands of miles away from Lukou, even if Wang Meng and Xie Ai can quickly achieve victory, but if they want to reinforce Lukou, it will take a long time, and at present, the 100,000 main cavalry under Murong Ke and the 130,000 horses under the command of Murong Ping and Pu Jian have not yet converged, this is the perfect time for our army to raid Lukou, how can we delay the fighters in order to wait for reinforcements from the direction of Bingzhou?" After saying that, there was a look of confidence.

Seeing Hua An's confident face, Wang San hurriedly clenched his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, do you already have a plan to force the Zhangshui crossing, I don't know what the plan is?" After speaking, he looked at Hua'an expectantly.

When the generals heard this, they also looked at Hua'an with expectant eyes.

Hua An smiled, looked at the generals under his command, and said: "This king intends to use chariots and infantry to form a 'moon array' to seize the position on the north bank, and gradually expand the moon array, and then, the main cavalry force gradually crosses the river, and after our army has all crossed the Zhangshui, we can launch a fierce surprise attack on the Yan army and completely defeat the 130,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan army." ”

"But the Moon Array, what is the Moon Array?" None of the generals had heard of the Moon Formation, so they all looked at Hua An suspiciously and asked softly. (To be continued......)
