Chapter 324: The First Battle (I)
It didn't take a few days for the news of the 260,000 troops led by the Northern Liao relatives of Dayan to reach the Sang Xiong case that had just arrived on the border of Jinzhou, which made this resolute, savage and fierce Lingnan general stunned. When he was in Lingnan earlier, he had a detailed understanding of Ji Qingchen, and he was very clear about Ji Qingchen's ability, he led the army north to Yizhou, and then continued to go north to Jinzhou, he has been paying attention to Ji Qingchen's every move, he felt that with Ji Qingchen's personality, he should have gone to Ningzhou to deal with Mufeng's 400,000 army, but he didn't expect Ji Qingchen to go south to Jinzhou, and threatened to annihilate his 300,000 army.
The mulberry bear in silence was neither surprised nor angry.
He just couldn't believe Ji Qingchen's move to the south, and he couldn't believe that Ji Qingchen would leave Ningzhou in the north of Dayan alone, and hand over the Northern Liao army to Baixiangcheng regardless of their life or death, and would go south to Jinzhou to deal with him.
Sang Xiong is not afraid of Ji Qingchen, he is also a god-like existence among the eight clans in Lingnan, so he was appointed as the commander of this invasion of Dayan in Yizhou in the north. He also wants to have a real battle with Ji Qingchen, and wants to strangle Dayan, the rising new god of war, in the cradle.
But when he heard that Ji Qingchen disappeared south, he was still a little inexplicably irritable.
"Where has Adelan's army gone?" Sang Xiong asked.
The Adelan in his mouth is the commander of the 60,000 vanguard army, and he is one of his most important tiger generals.
That's why he was entrusted with the important task of pioneering.
"I've arrived in Si County, and I can reach Jinju City in two more days!" A guard beside Sang Xiong said.
This guard was wearing black leather armor, handsome in appearance, and his body revealed an indescribable killing intent, which made people know at a glance that his strength did not match his appearance.
"Two days?" Sang Xiong dissatisfied, "Order, let Adlan speed up the march, and be sure to reach the city of Jinju within one day." Also, you tell him that the commander of Dayan who led the south this time is Ji Qingchen, and asked him to be cautious when attacking Jinju City. β
"Yes." The black-armored knight took the order and rode away.
"Marshal, should we also speed up the march?" One of the generals beside Sang Xiong said.
His name is Sanchez, he is the nephew of Mulberry Bear, the most important general of Mulberry Bear, and a general who is good at tackling tough battles and fighting at night. He had an army of 100,000 men, 40,000 of whom were all backstalkers. It is the absolute main force of the Mulberry Bear army.
This time, Ji Qingchen went south to Jinzhou, and he divided the army into three routes, the first road of 30,000 horses as the vanguard, the second road of 100,000 iron cavalry as the middle army, and the third road of 130,000 troops led by him personally, responsible for the march of the palace. Do you think he really believes that these 30,000 Pioneers can stop Adelan? No, Dayan's Northern Liao King Ji Qingchen is a general, and he will not be so arrogant and complacent. He has only one purpose, and that is to seduce us. And if we speed up the march at this time, we will really fall for him. So go at the current pace! Sang Xiong explained.
That is, Sanchez has the qualifications to let Mulberry Bear explain and teach carefully, if it was put on someone else, and dared to ask Mulberry Bear this question, he would have been served by the whip a long time ago.
"Using an army of 30,000 as bait, trying to lure us, this-" Sanchez didn't know how to describe Ji Qingchen, so he paused and said, "Is he really too self-sufficient to annihilate our 300,000 army?" β
Speaking of which, Sanchez's eyes showed a faint disdain, even if you are the Northern Liao King of Dayan, what can you do if you have defeated Beirong before? If you want to annihilate your own army of 300,000 and do your dreams!
Seeing the look in Sanchez's eyes, he knew what his nephew was thinking, and a qualified commander should be calm and calm, and not be affected by the enemy's actions, so he knew that the signs of bad luck in his nephew should be extinguished in time, so he sighed and said, "More than thatββ! β
"What do you mean?" Sanchez asked.
Although he disdained Ji Qingchen's arrogance and arrogance, he respected his cousin very much and admired his cousin's talent in commanding operations. Therefore, as soon as Sang Xiong sighed like this, he heard the worry in his words.
"I'm thinking that Ji Qingchen divided the 260,000 army into three routes, he is not only using the 30,000 vanguard army as bait, he may be using the first and second army as bait, and also add Jinju City?" Sang Xiong said word by word.
"He used an army of 130,000 and millions of people in Jinju City as bait?" After listening to Mulberry Bear's words, Sanchez was not left with details except for surprise. Because even if Ji Qingchen wanted to use 130,000 iron cavalry and millions of people in Jinzhou City as bait to lure his own 300,000 army to Jinzhou City, he could completely annihilate his 300,000 army with the 130,000 iron cavalry in his hand?
"Dashuai, I'm afraid this is impossible!" Sanchez said, "This time we are attacking Dayan with the south and the north of the country, their forces are already stretched, at this time Ji Qingchen still dares to use 130,000 troops as bait, so he is not afraid that we will annihilate his 130,000 army as bait, and then with the 130,000 Beirong iron cavalry in his hand, can he still deal with our 300,000 army?" β
"No matter what, since Dayan's commander is Ji Qingchen, we can't afford not to guard against it!" Sang Xiong didn't explain further, but said in a commanding tone, "You ordered the scout camp to double their reconnaissance area!" β
Sanchez was stunned, now the reconnaissance range of the scouts in the army is twenty miles, if it is doubled, it will be forty miles, which is already the limit of the Lingnan army, and the army on his side has just set foot in Jinzhou, and it has not yet reached the hinterland of Jinzhou. β
β¦β¦
In Si County, as soon as Adelan ordered the army to rest and prepare to kill Jinju City the next day, he received an order from the scout to send Sang Xiong.
He read the letter carefully, and his face, which was excited just now because Jinju City was close at hand, showed anger.
"General, what's wrong?" His lieutenant asked, this was a tall, meaty, fierce and savage general.
"The marshal told us to speed up the march and ask us to rush to Jinju City by tomorrow afternoon!" Adelan said, seeing the strange look on the adjutant general's face, Adelan knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he continued, "And the commander of Dayan who went south to Jinzhou this time is Ji Qingchen, and the commander of the Great Yan who went south to Jinzhou this time is Ji Qingchen, and the commander asked us to be cautious in attacking Jinzhou City, so as not to fall into Ji Qingchen's trap." β
Adelan is so angry because in the Lingnan Yi clan, he is also the suitor of Dream Princess Bai Meng'er, he knows very well that his identity and status are not worthy of Bai Meng'er, but this can't stop Adelan from treating Bai Mengran as his goddess. Unexpectedly, when Bai Meng'er arrived in King's Landing, not only was she not courteous to Dayan, but she was also rejected by Ji Qingchen, and now she has become disheartened and can only accompany the green lantern scroll in the Taici Nunnery.
Therefore, Adlan hates Dayan very much and hates Ji Qingchen.
This is the reason why he was so murderous and brutal when he led his army to attack Yiju and then Jinju.
Now that he heard that Ji Qingchen, the commander of Dayan who went south to Jinzhou, was the person he hated the most, how could he not be happy? But instead of being happy, he was angry. This is because Ji Qingchen went south, but Ji Qingchen is neither in Dayan's vanguard army, nor in Dayan's mid-lane army, but in the army behind the palace.
That's what really makes him so atmospheric!
"Yide, order the army to rest for two hours, and after two hours, we will continue to advance, and the target is the city of Jinju!" Adelan gave the order without thinking about it.
"Yes." The lieutenant general named Edd took the order and strode out of the big tent of Adelan.
Just as Ide left the big tent, Adelan was looking at the map and thinking about how to attack Jinju City, Ide, who had just left, went and returned, and looked very nervous.
"What's going on? Why are you back again? Seeing Ide, who looked nervous when he walked into the big tent, Adlan took the initiative to ask.
"General, our scouts have just received news that a cavalry found sixty miles ahead of us, the exact number is unknown, and it is estimated that there are at least 30,000 of them." Ide said briefly.
In the face of the 60,000 troops on his side, 30,000 iron cavalry is not much, but his 60,000 troops are all foot soldiers, and Jinzhou is a horse and a flat river, which is the most suitable for cavalry to charge.
Therefore, Yide knew very well that if his 60,000 troops met these 30,000 cavalry, when the two sides clashed, even if his side had an advantage in numbers, it would be difficult to have a 10% chance of winning.
"Is it Dayan Iron Rider?" Adlan asked.
He was very clear about the deployment of troops in Dayan, in order to deal with the Liguo Iron Cavalry and Beirong Iron Cavalry in the north, Dayan gathered almost all the cavalry of the whole country to the line of Ningzhou, Liaozhou and Yunzhou, and only a small number of foot soldiers were deployed in the southern states, and only a cavalry was set up in the Yizhou Governor's Mansion.
However, the cavalry of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion has been completely wiped out by them.
The cavalry that appeared in front of him at this time was not native to Jinju, so it could only be Dayan's reinforcements!
"Nine times out of ten, it is Ji Qingchen's vanguard army!" Ide replied.
"We didn't look for them, they did." Adlan smiled coldly, "In that case, let them see the methods of our Lingnan sons!" Tell the army to be ready for battle at once! Let's meet this cavalry in Sixian County, see how capable Ji Qingchen is, and want to annihilate my 300,000 army in Lingnan! β
"Yes." Ide excitedly took the order and left.
This time Dayan went to war with the Lingnan Yi tribe, not only Ji Qingchen's reward was very rich, but Sang Xiong's reward for the Lingnan Yi army was also very rich. Therefore, for the soldiers of the Lingnan Yi tribe, what made them happiest was to fight with Dayan. This way they can kill more enemies, get more enemy heads, and receive more bounties.
And on a high ground sixty miles away from the Adlan army, Guo Lun was riding a horse to listen to a scout's report, "General, the Adlan army has entered battle preparations, and it is estimated that they are ready to fight us in Si County!" β
"Yes! Keep scouting! Guo Lun said that when the scout was ordered to leave, he gave the army an order to rest and recuperate.
Because he already has a number in his mind on how to deal with Adelan's 60,000 army, it is now up to him to see how he implements this plan step by step.
