In the wild at dusk, an iron horse galloped on the total horse, and the number of people was about 130,000, which was Ji Qingchen's Qingfeng Ride and Beirong Iron Horse. They were the third army that went south to Jinzhou, but now they have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Dayan, and have crossed Jinzhou City and are almost on the border with Yizhou.

"Your Highness, there is a valley ahead where we can hide our tracks, where we can rest!" As soon as the army stopped, Meng Li stepped forward and said.

His cavalry adhered to the combat style of the Beijung Iron Cavalry, and used a large number of scouts during the march, including Eagle Harrier scouts for the enemy, and terrain scouts for reconnaissance of terrain and water sources.

Therefore, Ji Qingchen went south along the way, and the 130,000 army marched in a hurry, specifically marching on the mountain road where few people were not easy to find. But it still took only six days to reach the border between Jinju and Yiju.

When the army arrives here, it will have to rest, and Meng Li will find such a valley that can hide the 130,000 army.

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more. He is the commander who went south to Jinju to stop the Lingnan Yi tribe from going north, and he will not manage issues such as the march of the army, and the task is to formulate a combat strategy and then let his subordinates carry it out. This is the cavalry war in Ji Qingchen's mind, and it is also the combat style in his mind after the reform of the Dayan military system.

Wait until the army rushes into the valley and sets up camp.

The bonfire in the big tent was blazing, and Ji Qingchen in the handsome position was already bathing and changing clothes, and was looking down to read a book.

He will basically not refuse all the services that he can enjoy on the way to the new army, just like he will never fail to wash when he can take a bath, even if it is laborious and time-consuming, just like when he can eat a sumptuous banquet, he will never gnaw on dry food, even if it takes time and manpower.

He feels that when a person goes to the battlefield, he must have the consciousness of sacrifice, but this does not mean that he still abuses himself if he does not go to the battlefield.

Just as he was looking down to read, Meng Li walked into Shuai Zhang, "Your Highness, there is a battle report ahead!" ”

This time, Ji Qingchen did not take the same path as Guo Lun and Su Jian, and at the same time handed over the task of blocking the Lingnan army from attacking Jinzhou City to Su Jian, but he did not lose contact with Su Jian.

This is due to Guo Quan's training of the "iron suit" in Beirong.

Guo persuaded Beirong, in addition to training a new "iron-cloaked" secret guard born out of the cocoon, he also trained several eagle harriers who specialized in delivering letters.

This allowed Su Jian and Ji Qingchen to communicate quickly.

"Say it!" Ji Qingchen put the book on the simple desk and said to Meng Li.

"Su Jian said in the letter that Guo Lun had accomplished his goal, successfully slowed down the marching speed of the Lingnan vanguard army Adelan, and gave Su Jian the opportunity to encircle and annihilate, and Su Jian's army annihilated Adelan's 60,000 foot soldiers in one fell swoop." Meng Li said to Ji Qingchen simply.

"The 130,000-strong army encircled and annihilated 60,000 foot soldiers, such a record is nothing to show off!" Ji Qingchen said lightly. This is the strategy he set, let Guo Lun be the vanguard, lead 30,000 iron cavalry to prevent Adelan from going north to Jinju City, and then confuse Adelan through the identity of Su Jian is second route army, thinking that the distance between Su Jian and Guo Lun will not be very close, so that Adelan will focus all his energy on Guo Lun, so that Su Jian can successfully complete the encirclement.

"But-" Meng Li saw that Ji Qingchen had taken this first battle between the Great Yan reinforcements and the Lingnan Yi clan so lightly, and he was a little stumped, and he didn't know if he could say the following words.

"What's wrong?" Ji Qingchen asked. This is why Meng Li dared to be so spitting, if the others would have been reprimanded by Ji Qingchen a long time ago.

"However, Guo Lun used it as a bait, and he suffered heavy losses in this battle, and after the battle of 30,000 horses, he was less than 10,000, and he could no longer participate in the battle to block the Lingnan army from attacking Jinzhou City!" Meng Li said.

An army of 30,000 men was killed against 60,000 foot soldiers for an hour, and was completely disabled by the other party, which was simply an insult to the cavalry. How could a cavalry with excellent mobility and strong impact suffer such a big loss when it encountered a foot soldier, and the other party was not the nemesis of the light cavalry, but an ordinary foot soldier.

Of course, from this battle, some problems of the Great Yan cavalry were also exposed. It was because the army was formed too quickly and did not go through the baptism of war, so it affected the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

But this problem can only be solved slowly through war, who told the previous three kings and Ji Qian to compete for the power of obtaining the certificate and build an army too much, only focusing on quantity and not quality, so that the number of the current Dayan cavalry has skyrocketed, but the combat effectiveness has plummeted.

"Hmph-" Ji Qingchen snorted coldly a few times, and asked in a slightly unhappy tone, "Has Su Jinshang analyzed the combat effectiveness of the Lingnan infantry soldiers?" 30,000 cavalry against 60,000 foot soldiers, were disabled, and only less than 10,000 remnants were left. ”

"Your Highness, Guo Lun's 30,000 cavalry is the newly formed personal guard of the King of Song, it seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact it has no appearance, flashy, and does not have much combat effectiveness, Guo Lun commands such a cavalry, and it is not bad to be able to fight with 60,000 Lingnan infantry to achieve such a record!" Meng left his mouth and said.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

What kind of goods are the 30,000 cavalry around Guo Lun, only Meng Li, who is good at cavalry warfare and good at cavalry training, can be clear.

"No matter what the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is, it is Guo Lun's responsibility for 30,000 iron cavalry to be beaten like this." Ji Qingchen was a little angry, if he was defeated, he was defeated, what are so many excuses?

"King Song's 30,000 personal guards cavalry can't compare with your Beirong iron cavalry in combat effectiveness, but it is well-equipped, and it is definitely not inferior to your Beirong iron cavalry, so it was defeated by the Lingnan infantry soldiers, and it was a fiasco-" Ji Qingchen was silent when he said this. Meng Li didn't dare to talk when he saw this, because he saw that Ji Qingchen was really angry. In the middle of the ring, I heard Ji Qingchen say, "Send the order to Su Jian, Guo Lun's battle is not good, remove him from the post of captain of the Yulin Cavalry, and demote him to a gangster!" ”

"This-" Meng Li's body trembled, this punishment is not heavy, but it is a bit heavy on Guo Lun, but he was slightly stunned and immediately replied, "No! ”

"Also, Su Jian said in the letter that Jinzhou City has gathered 100,000 troops from nearby states, plus his 100,000 iron cavalry, it will not be a problem to prevent the 200,000 troops in Lingnan for three months." Meng Li continued.

"Where has the Mulberry Bear's army gone?" Ji Qingchen didn't continue to ask about Jinzhou City, but asked about Sang Xiong's situation, he really didn't want to defend Jinzhou City, so he would only be targeted by the Lingnan Yi clan on the spot, and his side would be under great pressure, but he had no choice, he couldn't give up the people in the city, and he couldn't give Bai Jin and Li Muzhi too much face, so he could only do this.

"Sang Xiong knew that we had annihilated the Adlan army, so he accelerated the march, and now his vanguard army has arrived in Si County, and the commander of the army, General Sanchez, is his nephew." Meng Li said.

This information is very accurate, and it is the credit of Guo Quan's many years of experience among the Lingnan Yi people.

When Ji Qingchen developed secret guards to the surrounding countries, everyone's views were different, some supported and some opposed, but even those who supported it were not very optimistic, after all, the warring strength of the two countries was respected.

But now Guo Quan's ability to secretly guard is reflected!

"As for Sang Xiong and his 160,000 troops, they will be able to reach Si County in time within two days." Meng Li said.

"To be able to annihilate the 200,000 army of Mulberry Bear, now it depends on Su Jian's defense!" Ji Qingchen sighed, "We still lack major generals!" ”

"Your Highness, is it too risky for us to do this?" Meng Li asked. He is a person who knows Ji Qingchen's overall planning, and he admires and is shocked by Ji Qingchen's bold planning.

"The transportation of troops is mainly based on the royal way, supplemented by the trickery. In the past, our cavalry fought too much, and there were too many royal roads, so this time we will play tricks with the Lingnan Yi clan! Ji Qingchen said in a firm tone, "It's a pity that the troops are still not enough, otherwise this king would not have done this." Now that the Ningzhou defense line is in jeopardy, compared to the threat of the Lingnan Yi clan, this king attaches more importance to leaving the country to ride the iron. Therefore, we cannot delay the battlefield in the south for too long, and we must fight a quick battle. If you don't, you can't do it! ”

As soon as Meng Li heard Ji Qingchen say this, he stopped talking.

Indeed, when Ji Qingchen blocked the Beirong cavalry, he was inferior in strength at first, but later he had an advantage in strength. This is the proud record of destroying Beirong in three battles.

But now the battle with the Lingnan Yi tribe is different, the original battle with Beirong was to support him with the strength of Dayan, and now Dayan is attacked on three sides, Dayan gives him limited support, and he also has to buy time to defeat the Lingnan Yi tribe with limited support, which was much more difficult to deal with Beirong back then.

"You must properly arrange the scouts when you go down, and be sure to hide our traces, so that the mulberry bear can't know about it." Ji Qingchen said, "This time, let the mulberry bear come and go!" ”

"No!" He took the order and strode out of the king's tent.

At the same time, Sang Xiong was also in the big tent, looking at the map on the desk and was silent. He already knew the news of Adelan's defeat and the annihilation of 60,000 foot soldiers, so he sent his nephew Sanchez to lead 40,000 soldiers as the vanguard, in order to stabilize his camp and prevent his soldiers from affecting their morale because of the annihilation of Adelan's army.

But when he learned about the process of Adelan's annihilation, he had doubts in his heart. His first doubt was that Ji Qingchen's three-way army marched in a straight line, what did he want to do by doing this? The second point is that Su Jian has arrived in Jinzhou City, but the third army suddenly disappeared, this is the Beirong elite cavalry personally led by Ji Qingchen, and it is the elite of the Dayan reinforcements that went south this time, where did this army go?

He could ignore this first doubt, because it was no longer important. But the second doubt he couldn't help but figure it out, otherwise with Ji Qingchen's cunning, he knew that he would definitely be the one who suffered.

"Since you are playing cat and mouse with Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai will play with you!" After thinking for a moment, a faint smile appeared in Sang Xiong's eyes, and he seemed to know what Dao Ji Qingchen wanted to do.
