The two armies fought, and Chen Tao and Fan Chou attacked with cavalry, harassing the localities and cutting off the connection between the counties of Sizhou.

Subsequently, the infantry and siege troops led by Zhao Li and Xu Le recovered the cities in the occupied areas step by step, which was originally a good policy. I thought that if the White Polish Army had more backbone, it might be able to engage its own border head-on. But he didn't want to come to the Sizhou area and began to enter Hedong County, only to find that the other party had shrunk the defensive line.

In the White Polish Army, intelligence work is the most difficult thing to do. After all, their people would cause a massacre from time to time, or force conscription. In this process, recruits are not allowed to leave the camp, and they are watched very strictly, so this makes the members of the Han Soul Organization who were originally ambushed unable to pass on the news to the outside world.

It can be said that this is the most difficult area of the intelligence war. Therefore, in the battle plan, it has been clearly emphasized: It is necessary to act step by step, especially to be careful of the two terrains of mountains and rivers, and the reconnaissance range of the reconnaissance cavalry must be about 50 miles.

Inexplicably, the main force of the enemy has been missing.

From Puzi County in the north all the way to the south, there was no encounter with the local main force at all. But what makes people very angry is that the other party has moved all the people of this generation, and even the county town has not left any of them. In the empty county town, there are even some corpses of ordinary people, mainly the elderly, who may not want to be killed, or they may be killed because they can't walk and are troublesome.

In any case, this needs to be passed back, and the newspaper will write a special book, so that the world can see what kind of face this Bai Pojun is. A long time ago, Fang Yun had announced in the name of the third-generation Tiangong General that the White Wave Army did not belong to the Yellow Turban Army, so even if they wanted to discredit the Yellow Turban Army now, they couldn't do it.

It's okay to say that the city is good, but the key is that the other party has polluted the water source. Huge quantities of filth and even corpses were thrown into the water source, not only in the river, but also in the well. Their current behavior is obviously in Kiyono. Fortified walls don't count. It's just because they even gave up the city.

However, even this led directly to the extension of supply lines, and at the same time increased the likelihood of attacks on baggage troops. After all, even if it is Sizhou, the area and scope are actually very large. In this huge range, in the absence of sufficient communication tools, it is easy to be attacked by the other side and disturb the grain channel.

In these years, especially Cao Cao, what he is best at is attacking grain and grass. And then win a war.

Fortunately, the road leading to Sizhou has been completed, and this ancient railway can mobilize materials from Jinyang to the front-line city of Yong'an in two days, and in order to further improve the supply efficiency, the construction corps is working overtime to build a road from Yong'an to Pingyang County.

Once the construction is completed, as long as the small stations for horse replacement are built in various places, then the transportation of a batch of military supplies from Jinyang to Pingyang is about three days, and the key is that the attrition rate is reduced from the normal three percent to less than one percent.

The Great Qin of the past. It was in this way that Lao Qin's soldiers were successively transported to various places, as well as all kinds of materials they needed, to ensure the success of the united war, the key is to reduce the loss of supplies and improve the utilization rate of materials.

The army advanced all the way to Pingyang County, and the enemy was still nowhere to be seen.

Pingyang County is the seat of Pingyang County established by Cao Wei in the first year of Zheng (247). Even today, it is an important city in Hedong County. It is said that it is such a county with high walls and thick walls, and the other party has no reason to give up.

As a result, the other party said that he would give up, and directly moved all the people inside. Those who did not want to move away, and even some elderly people were killed like this, and the corpses stinked.

"What the hell does the Bai Bojun think, do they plan to even stop Sizhou?" Commanding the soldiers below to clean up the corpses in the city, Zhao Li couldn't help but complain at the moment.

There were corpses or filth in every corner of the city, even in the wells. It's a big job to clean it up. The key is that you also need to check every house and floor, after all, Yuan Shao once used the trick of burning the city with fire, which caught Huang Zhong and them off guard. It's good to make a mistake once, but you can't make it again.

After a long day of inspection, it was confirmed that there was no ambush in the city, but there was one point of concern, and that was the breach of the sluice gates leading to the moat outside the city.

This sluice gate is not only directly connected to the moat outside the city, but also to the Fenshui outside Pingyang County. The sluice has two main functions: one is to serve as a water gate, which is convenient for passenger ships or merchant ships to enter and exit the wharf. Fenshui communicates the north and south, and it is sometimes much more convenient to take the water route than the land route, so Binh Duong and Yongan have such settings; The second important thing is that during the rainstorm season, the sluice gates can be closed to ensure that the swelling river does not flood the town.

The other party's idea was simply too obvious, and Zhao Li felt that this was an insult to his IQ. If it were him, I was afraid that he would give priority to sending people to ambush and wait for the opportunity to open the sluice, and then the people who set up temporary dams upstream would open the dam and divert Fen water into Pingyang County through the sluice, causing panic.

In such a situation, only to lead troops to fight from the outside, there is a great chance that it can be decided in a battle.

"Get out of the city and let the scouts scout along the river investigate!" Zhao Li immediately ordered.

The army quickly withdrew from the city, and the scouts looked further, finally spotting the enemy's traces upstream. According to the traces, it is not difficult to see that this should be a force of about 10,000 people. Obviously, this should not be the main force of the enemy army.

To put it bluntly, Bai Bojun is just a group of rabble, relying on the strength of the crowd. Unless 10,000 people are their core force, it is impossible to exist alone. It can be said that there are no more than 30,000 people, but I am afraid that they will not dare to act casually, for fear that the whole army will collapse if they are not careful.

It is also worth mentioning that the scouts have not been in trouble in recent years, and there are also courses on reconnaissance in military schools. The military academy is even constantly studying various tactics of reconnaissance, including the detection of enemy traces, as well as concealment and even inducing the enemy to move in a certain direction.

In the eyes of professional military academy graduates, this trace obviously has deliberate traces, after all, there is no intention of cleaning it up at all. With such obvious traces, either it can only be said that the leaders of the White Polish Army are a bunch of idiots, or they are deliberate.

Obviously, they were also hoping that they would find out that the sluice gates were not in order, and then lure their own people to discover the troops. Taking into account this possibility, then it is possible to extend all kinds of thinking, especially the intentions of the enemy.

For example, lure your own men here, fight this force, and then ambush them; If there are few people, then this unit itself has a certain degree of aggression, then it can also take the initiative to attack and annihilate a small number of our troops.

In the follow-up investigation, even the opponent's cavalry troops were found, but these traces were hidden, but they were still discovered by the scouts. After being determined, it is almost certain that there is still a cavalry unit among these 10,000 people! From the traces, it is not difficult to be sure that this cavalry force has a scale of about three to five thousand people!

At present, the two generals, Chen Tao and Fan Chou, have already gone to other places to carry out raids, and it will take at least two days to contact and rush back. Zhao Li only had 5,000 foot soldiers under his command, and at most there were about 3,000 additional siege troops. Even if it is an elite soldier, it directly lacks the combat ability of cavalry, and it will obviously fall into passivity if it takes the initiative to attack.

But it's not like there's no way at all, after a simple thought, Zhao Li has already determined the policy for these 10,000 people. However, in order to ensure that the fruits of victory are further expanded, it is still necessary to contact General Zhou Cang as soon as possible.

Zhou Cang quietly entered Sizhou on Yang'a's side, with 10,000 cavalry under his command, and he could reach Pingyang within a day after calculating the time. Fang Yunming sent Zhao Li, Fan Chou and Chen Tao to attack Sizhou, and wrote in the newspaper that he was a 'dignified and upright teacher'. It's just that the soldiers don't get tired of cheating, who wouldn't use the trick of secretly Chen Cang?

If you really believe that Fang Yun will be so honest, then you really have to doubt this person's IQ.

On the other hand, in the upper reaches of Fenshui, in the area of Jiangyi, the main force of the Baibo Army was stationed here. It was about fifty miles from here, equivalent to near the dam between Pingyang and Jiangyi, where Han Sui's main force was stationed.

Just as the scout came to the conclusion, Han Sui, as the designer and executor of the plan at this moment, personally came to the front line as a decoy. It only takes more than half a day for the main army in the rear to arrive, ready to provide support to him.

From the beginning, he didn't plan that this water attack plan would work, but what if the other party was stupid? In the final analysis, it is just a backup strategy, and if it works, it is good, but according to his understanding of the other party's army, it is still certain that the other party will find out about this arrangement, and then conduct reconnaissance along the upper reaches of the Fenshui. Eventually, his presence will be discovered!

This was originally set, as long as they came, he would take the initiative to attack when the number was small. He was armed with Qianghu cavalry, and he was good at riding and shooting. Especially with the discovery and spread of stirrups and horseshoes, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry has been further improved! In addition, there are about 5,000 foot soldiers, all of whom are self-trained soldiers, which are completely different from those wastes who only know how to burn, kill, plunder, and make a fortune on the heads of the people!

It is precisely because of the existence of this army that Yang Feng can treat him so favorably, otherwise if he comes alone, there may be courtesy, but it is estimated that it is impossible to do everything he says and deeds can affect him now.

It didn't take long for his people to discover Fang Yun's scout and report it...... Obviously, the enemy has begun to approach, and it is not yet known how the two sides will make contact!

"Prepare for war! I can't say that this battle is the most difficult battle we have to face! After Han Sui got the report, he slowly instructed his cronies on the left and right. (To be continued.) )

PS: Ambush and anti-ambush, stirrups and horseshoes have leaked out, can the Han people compete with the Hu people of the Ma nation? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
