Obviously, Hua'an was very worried about the situation in the direction of Hebei, and felt that Murong Ke personally led an army of 300,000 to the south, which caused a lot of pressure on the Hebei army.

"Your Majesty, the eastern part of Qingzhou is only a few dozen miles away from Liaodong County of Yan State, and there are many islands along the way, our army can completely board a ship from the east of Qingzhou and raid Liaodong County by sea after occupying Qingzhou, so that a second battlefield can be opened in the rear of Yan State, and the Yan State will be contained, and the main army of Murong Ke on the front line will inevitably be affected." Wang San looked at Hua An and said softly.

When Hua An heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, Wang San's sneak attack behind enemy lines had the meaning of encircling Wei to save Zhao, although it may not be able to play much of a role, but it will definitely distract the Murong Ke army on the front line, thereby reducing the pressure on Xie Ai's army.

"That's right, if our army sends a group of men and horses to attack Liaodong County, it will definitely be able to greatly deter Murong Jun, however, our army has no warships in Qingzhou, and if we want to go to Liaodong, we must transfer a large number of ships from the direction of Luoyang, which may affect the preparation of the naval army in the direction of Luoyang." Hua An frowned as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, there are 90,000 sailors training in the direction of Luoyang City, and you only need to allocate a small number of soldiers and horses and enough transport ships, which should not affect the training of the sailors in the direction of Luoyang City!" Wang San said softly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, we don't need too many sailors, our army only needs enough ships. Wang Wu said loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he thought for a while, and said, "Okay!" The king decided to transfer 10,000 sailors and enough warships from the direction of Luoyang to enter the Beihai along the waterway of the Yellow River and arrive at the ferry port of Donglai County. In this way, when the main force of our army arrives in Donglai County, it will be able to board the ship and launch an attack on Liaodong County. ”

"The king." The ministers will shout compliments.

Subsequently, Hua'an officially issued an order for the naval army that was being trained in the direction of Luoyang City to draw out 10,000 soldiers and horses and a large number of ships. Immediately leave Luoshui, cross the Yellow River, and go to the ferry of Donglai County, and ask them to do their best, because the early raid on Liaodong County would relieve the great pressure on the Hebei legions.

Of course, because he was not very confident about the direction of Luoyang, Hua'an would not personally lead his troops to attack Liaodong County. Instead, he handed over this task to Wang Wu to complete, and warned Wang Wu not to be greedy for merit, if the soldiers and horses under his command did not have the absolute certainty of victory, they would withdraw to Donglai County in Qingzhou, and with Donglai County in Qingzhou, they would confront the Yan army in Liaodong for a long time. In this way, Yan Kingdom has another defensive direction. The forces are bound to be further dispersed, which is a great good thing for Hua'an, but for Yan Guo, it is facing greater pressure.

Hua'an and the main army under his command achieved an extremely brilliant victory in the direction of Qingyan Erzhou. In the Hebei direction, Xie Ai's soldiers and horses suffered a great defeat, and after the defeat of Wei Changcheng, Murong Ke and the main army under his command advanced further south, and soon entered the jurisdiction of Julu County.

It is a small county town in the northern part of Julu County. Zhang Hao gathered 50,000 cavalry, once again fought with the vanguard soldiers and horses under Murong Ke, and deliberately fled in defeat, retreating to the capital of Julu County, Gaunt Tao City.

Murong Ba, who had won a big victory again, seemed very excited, and immediately dispatched his henchmen to tell Murong Ke in the rear the news.

Murong Ke was naturally very happy to hear this news, and immediately led most of his soldiers and horses to move closer to the direction where Murong Ba was.

Soon, Murong Ke and the soldiers and horses under Murong Ba's command converged.

"Fourth brother, the enemy general Zhang Oyster and his 50,000 troops were completely defeated by our army, and our army easily captured a city." Seeing Murong Ke arrive, Murong Ba said happily.

Murong Ke nodded and encouraged: "Fifth brother, you have done a good job, but the soldiers and horses under Zhang Hao are only part of the soldiers and horses under Xie Ai, so our army can't be careless." ”

"Fourth brother, the two most powerful generals under Xie Ai are Zhang Hao and Yang An, now, the soldiers and horses under Zhang Hao have been defeated by our army several times, and the most powerful soldiers and horses under Yang An are only 20,000 chariot troops, I believe it is not strong, at most half a month, our army can be in Yecheng." Murong Ba said confidently.

Murong Ke smiled and said, "I hope so!" I also hope that our army can defeat the Xie Ai army and capture the whole of Hebei, but there is nothing wrong with being cautious. ”

"What the fourth brother said is very true, I will be careful, the next defeat of Zhang Oyster must have fled to Gall Tao City, our army will capture Gall Tao City next, as long as Gall Tao City is captured, Julu County will be in the pocket of our army." Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Ke smiled with satisfaction, and said: "That's right, our army will capture Gall Tao City next, but after marching for days, the soldiers are very tired, so rest for a day, and then march in the direction of Gall Tao City." ”

"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba replied loudly.

Subsequently, Murong Ke and the main army under his command stopped advancing, camped in place, and rested.

Early in the morning of the second day, Murong Ke and his army left their positions and marched towards the city of Ghao Tao in the south direction, among them, Murong Ba personally led 50,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and the main army of 200,000 was led by Murong Ke himself.

Just when Murong Ke and his army were sharpening their swords and preparing to march in the direction of Gall Tao City, Zhang Oy, who was in the direction of Gall Tao City, was also making necessary preparations.

Although Xie Ai gave him the order that he should only be defeated and not won, he knew that Xie Ai's purpose was to pride the enemy and lure the enemy, and if the defeat was too obvious, it would not play its due role, and it would even make Murong Ke suspicious, so Zhang Hao decided to prepare seriously for the battle in Gaunt Tao City, and give the Yan army a certain blow, so that Murong Ke would not have a great skeptical attitude.

At this time, in the city of Gauntlet, the soldiers and horses under Zhang Hao's command that can control zhì have reached 60,000, of which 40,000 are the elite cavalry he brought from Yecheng, and the other 20,000 horses are all scattered men and horses from Julu County and Zhongshan County, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, but with these horses, as long as they are well prepared, there is still no big problem in resisting the forward soldiers and horses of Yan State.

Zhang Hao has already made up his mind to have a good battle with the strikers of Yan State in Gall Tao City, and give Yan Guo's strikers a heavy blow.

"Dig hard, don't be lazy, in this battle, we must show the prestige of our army." Zhang Hao looked at the soldiers under his command who were digging a horse pit and shouted loudly.

"General rest assured, we have dug so many trap pits, to ensure that the Yan cavalry has no return, as long as the war horse of the Yan cavalry falls into the trap pit, it will be light to break the horse's leg." One of the generals replied loudly.

Zhang Hao nodded, and said: "Well said, with your words, the general will rest assured, in this battle, our army only needs to give the Yan army a certain amount of heavy damage, after all, the main army of the Yan country has too many soldiers and horses, and with the strength of our army, it is impossible to compete with the main force of the Yan army." ”

"Yes, that's what the general said." The general hurriedly responded.

The soldiers under the command of Zhang Hao were digging a large number of traps in the place where the Yan army must pass, and at the same time, the main army of the Yan State was also rushing quickly, and soon arrived at a location not far from the city of Gauntlet.

"General, the Yan State Forward Corps has arrived ten miles away." A subordinate general told Zhang Oyster the news of the imminent arrival of the army under Murong Ba.

Zhang Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Give the order to go down, stop digging pits, do a good job of cover, and then the whole army and horses will gather in formation, ready to meet the enemy." ”

After hearing the order, the soldiers under Zhang Hao's command immediately stopped digging the trap pit, covered the trap with branches and hay, and finally sprinkled a layer of dry soil on top of the hay, so that the well-camouflaged trap was completed.

After camouflaging the trap, the soldiers under Zhang Hao's command immediately began to assemble in formation, preparing to fight against the army under Murong Ba's command.

Billowing smoke and dust rose in the distance, it was obvious that Murong Ba and the vanguard cavalry under his command were about to arrive, and from the scale of the smoke and dust, it could be seen that there were fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses under Murong Ba's command, which was equivalent to the number of soldiers and horses under Zhang Hao's command.

"General, the army of Yan is already very close, in this battle, there are so many traps, our army will definitely be able to defeat the army of Yan Kingdom." The general said confidently.

Zhang Hao smiled lightly and said softly: "There is no need to defeat, it would be good to be able to hit hard, you know, what you see is the vanguard soldiers and horses of Yan State, and its main army is not far from here, even if our army has an advantage, once the main army of Yan State arrives, our army is still powerless to resist." ”

Hearing this, the general nodded approvingly.

Murong Ba, the general of the Yan Kingdom, led tens of thousands of forward cavalry under his command, and soon arrived near the city of Gauntlet, and saw the Zhang Oyster army arrayed to meet the enemy.

Seeing that Zhang Oy, who had been defeated by himself several times in a row, and dared to take the initiative to meet the enemy, a sneer appeared at the corner of Murong Ba's mouth, he felt that Zhang Oyster and his soldiers and horses had lost their morale, and they were not his opponents at all, and taking the initiative to meet the enemy was just a humiliation.

"General, the enemy general Zhang Hao actually led his troops out again to send him to death, this time, he must not be allowed to escape." A general of the Yan Kingdom looked at Murong Ba and said loudly.

"General, the enemy's soldiers and horses are equal to our army, let's attack immediately!" Another general of the Yan Kingdom said loudly.

Murong Ba looked at the location of Zhang Oyster's legion, thought carefully for a moment, and then ordered loudly: "Order the whole army to attack immediately." ”

"Attack, attack with all your troops." The generals gave loud orders to attack. (To be continued......)
