Seeing that Deng Qiang led the army to kill his own army, Murong Ba naturally did not show weakness, and immediately ordered his army to attack forward and start a frontal battle with the Jin cavalry.

The 30,000 cavalry of the Yan army are all elite, Deng Qiang and the 30,000 Guanzhong iron cavalry under his command are not weak brigades, the two sides are strong confrontations, the battle is extremely fierce, the battlefield is full of broken weapons and the remains of fallen soldiers, soldiers whose hands and feet are cut off, rolling on the ground in pain, and wounded war horses are lying on the ground, struggling to stand up.

The tragic battle left both sides red-eyed, and no one had any intention of withdrawing from the battle.

Hua An and more than a dozen generals, under the protection of a team of personal soldiers, rushed out of the camp, and witnessed the scene in front of them several miles away from the battlefield, and they all had a relatively clear understanding of the combat power of the Yan cavalry.

Wang San looked at Hua'an sideways and said softly: "Your Majesty, under the same strength, the combat strength of the main cavalry of our army and the main cavalry of the Yan army is not much different. ”

"Your Majesty, the battle between the two sides is in a stalemate, and if it continues like this, it can only be a lose-lose situation, and the main force of the Yan army is not far away, so immediately order a retreat." Zhuge Xiong hugged his fist and built yì Dao.

Hua An nodded and ordered: "Order, Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

"Knock knock......" Soon, the sound of a gong sounded from the rear of the battlefield.

Deng Qiang, who was fighting, saw the sound of gongs behind him, and immediately ordered his cavalry to retreat.

Seeing that the Jin army suddenly retreated, the cavalry of the Yan army, which had already killed the red-eyed soldiers, pursued closely behind. I want to expand the results.

"Stop the pursuit, the whole army stops the pursuit." Murong Ba hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop the pursuit.

"General, the Jin army has been defeated, why don't our army pursue it immediately." The general asked puzzled.

Murong Ba said loudly: "The combat power of the cavalry of the Jin army is on par with our army, they are retreating in an orderly manner, not a rout, this may be the Jin army's strategy to lure the enemy, and after the main force of our army arrives, it is not too late to pursue." ”

Subsequently, Murong Ba let the soldiers under his command. Check the casualties on the battlefield. After some statistics, Murong Ba was surprised to find that the casualties of the army under his command were actually more than those of the Jin army. Other words. The cavalry of the Jin army had a slight upper hand.

Soon. The main army led by Murong Ke converged with Murong Ba's forward men and horses, and came to a temporary pause.

"Fourth brother. The combat power of the cavalry of the Jin army is no longer under our army, just now the 30,000 cavalry of the Jin army and the 30,000 cavalry of our army had a fierce battle, the Jin army suffered less than 2,000 casualties, while our army casualties have exceeded 2,000. After seeing Murong Ke, Murong Ba hurriedly reported the battle situation.

When Murong Ke heard this, he nodded and said: "Just now, the 30,000 main cavalry of the Jin army suddenly attacked, and then suddenly retreated, which is enough to show that the Jin army is deliberately testing the combat power of our army's main cavalry, and now, the strength of our army has been tested by the Jin army, and the strength of the Jin army, we are also very clear, and the next step is to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army." ”

"Fourth brother, our army has more troops than the Jin army, and the final victory must belong to our army." Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Ke nodded and said: "The main force of the Jin army is not far ahead, immediately send scouts to find out every move of the main force of the Jin army, and report it immediately if there is a situation." ”

Subsequently, the Yan army scouts went to the Jin army camp to investigate the deployment of the Jin army and collect reliable information for the attack of the main force of the Yan army.

In the camp of the Jin army, after Deng Qiang entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he reported the basic battle situation to Hua'an, and through the report of Deng Qiang and the personal observation of Hua'an and other generals, the combat power of the Yan cavalry can be basically determined, which is not much different from the cavalry of the Jin army, which is an order of magnitude of strength.

"The strength of the Yan cavalry is not below our army, but the number of Yan cavalry greatly exceeds our army, therefore, our army must not fight a decisive battle with the main cavalry of the Yan army in an open area, but should use the terrain to build a strong camp and confront the main army of the Yan country, so as to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, so that the elite cavalry of the Yan army has nothing to do." Wang San Zhengse analyzed.

When the generals of the Jin army heard this, they all expressed their approval, and decided to go deep and high, confront the Yan army, and look for opportunities to break the enemy.

Subsequently, according to the nearby terrain, Hua'an arranged a large army at several commanding heights and critical positions, and stepped up the construction of fortifications, preparing for a long-term confrontation with the main force of the Yan army.

Knowing the deployment of the Jin army, Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, thought about it in his heart, he knew that the main force of the Jin army was going to fight a protracted war with him, so as to completely drag himself down and reduce the pressure on Jinyang City.

And this has been dragging on, it must be extremely unfavorable for the army of Yan State, because, in the vast area of Yan State, there has been a severe drought, and the reduction of grain production is extremely strict, and more than 100,000 troops, the daily consumption of grain and grass is very huge, if it is really delayed for a long time, the pressure of the Yan army will be very huge, and the grain and grass of the main force of the Jin army are transported from Guanzhong and Shuzhong, and there is no shortage of grain and grass at all, and it is more beneficial to the Jin army to fight a protracted war of attrition.

Murong Ke looked at the topographic map in front of him, and said softly: "The main forces of the Jin army occupy favorable terrain, these terrains are not conducive to the advantages of our army's main cavalry, if the main force of our army rashly launches a strong attack, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, if the confrontation continues, our army's grain and grass pressure is extremely great, so our army must try to cut off the Jin army's grain route, so as to force the Jin army to take the initiative to fight with our army." ”

"General, the scouts have found out that all the grain and grass of the Jin army will pass through Qi County, as long as our army divides its troops to occupy Qi County, it can cut off the grain route of the Jin army, so that the main force of the Jin army will lose the supply of grain and grass, so that the Jin army will collapse without a fight." A general of the Yan Army said loudly.

"Fourth brother, give the order! As long as Qi County is occupied, the grain route of the main force of the Jin army can be cut off. Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Ke nodded, looked at a general beside him, and ordered: "General Duan, immediately allocate 30,000 main cavalry to attack Qi County, completely cutting off the grain route of the main force of the Jin army." ”

"Yes, General." A general of the Yan army clenched his fists and immediately went to prepare.

The Yan army sent 30,000 main cavalry to attack Qi County, and this action was soon discovered by the Jin army scouts, who reported the news to Hua'an.

After learning this news, Hua'an did not panic, this is also the situation he had long expected, the Yan army occupied Qi County, and it could indeed cut off the grain route of the Jin army, but Hua'an's main army had been hoarding grain and grass for nearly three months, so there was no need to panic at all.

Three months is a long time, and a lot of things will happen in these three months, and it is very doubtful whether Murong Ke's main army can spend three months.

Faced with the fact that Qi County was occupied by the Yan cavalry, Hua'an did not take any remedial measures, but continued to order the main army under his command to stick to their respective camps and confront Murong Ke's main army.

A few days later, in the direction of Jinyang City, the 20,000 soldiers under Yang An's command were already able to control and use the chariot relatively proficiently.

The commander-in-chief, Yang An, immediately reported the results of the training to Xie Ai, and after Xie Ai learned of the situation, he personally went to the training ground to inspect the newly formed tank unit.

At the large training ground in the Blue Valley, Xie Ai watched the training results of three battalions in a row, and was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, and felt that with these newly formed chariot troops, he could completely defeat the main cavalry of the Daiguo in one fell swoop, thus completely smashing the siege of Jinyang City by the Daiguo army.

"Coming and going like the wind, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, the soldiers are very well trained, General Yang has worked hard these days." Xie Ai praised softly.

Yang An was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "General, the soldiers have initially gained combat effectiveness, and they can fight with the Daiguo cavalry at any time." ”

Xie Ai nodded and said loudly: "General Yang, let the soldiers prepare three days' dry food, prepare five hundred arrows for each chariot, and launch an attack on the Daiguo cavalry early tomorrow morning." ”

"General, why do you have to prepare dry food for three days, do you have to keep driving the army back to Shengle City?" Yang An asked curiously.

Xie Ai smiled and said, "If it is a qiēshun lì, it is not impossible to drive the army of the country back to Shengle City!" Ha ha! ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Yang An received the order loudly.

Subsequently, Yang An conveyed Xie Ai's order, asking the 20,000 troops under his command to immediately prepare three days' dry food, and equip each chariot with 500 sharp arrows, all kinds of weapons and other materials needed for the battle, and all the weapons and other materials needed for the battle were also loaded onto the chariots, and with just one order, 20,000 charioteers could immediately launch an attack on the Daiguo army.

However, of course, Xie Ai will not just let the 20,000 charioteers under Yang An's command fight, so that the number of troops is too small, and once the enemy cavalry is dispersed, it is impossible to form an effective pursuit at the speed of the chariot, and if you want to pursue the enemy cavalry, you must use your own cavalry.

After leaving the training ground, Xie Ai came to the camp of Zhang Hao's army, and asked about the situation of Zhang Hao's army, and after some understanding, Xie Ai issued an order for Zhang Hao's 20,000 cavalry to immediately prepare three days of dry food, ready to cooperate with Yang An's army, and at the same time launched an attack on the elite cavalry of the 50,000 generations entrenched at the exit of the Blue Valley.

Zhang Oyster had already had itchy hands, so he accepted Xie Ai's order and immediately mobilized his soldiers to make pre-war preparations.

After arranging the two elite armies under his command, Xie Ai returned to Jinyang City and ordered 10,000 infantry under Zhang Ping to go to the west bank of Fenshui to fortify, so as to transfer the 20,000 horses of Zhao Wu's army originally stationed here to the Mengshan camp.

Xie Ai transferred the Zhao Wu Army to the Mengshan Camp in order to prepare the Zhao Wu Army for battle, and to respond to his main army at any time and launch a two-sided attack on the Dai Guo Army.

After the arrangements were made, Xie Ai thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and considered the various situations that he might encounter once he launched an attack on the Daiguo army, and prepared countermeasures one by one. (To be continued......)
