After Murong Ba left the Chinese army's tent, he immediately gathered all the soldiers and horses in the camp and prepared to withdraw to the direction of Jicheng, while Murong Ke sent his henchmen to Qi County to give an order, so that the 30,000 cavalry occupying Qi County would immediately retreat, and join the main army as much as possible to withdraw to Jicheng together.

A few hours later, all the soldiers and horses in the Yan army camp were assembled, and Murong Ke gave an order to lead all the soldiers and horses to leave the camp and retreat in the direction of Jicheng.

In Hua'an's Chinese army's big tent, all the generals heard that Xie Ai's army had broken the main army of the Dai Kingdom and fled with the wolf bèi who had been beaten by Tuoba Shiyi, and they were all greatly excited, and asked Hua'an to fight, asking to take advantage of this to launch a surprise attack on Murong Ke's main force of the Yan army, so as to cooperate with the actions of Xie Ai's army.

Hua An carefully analyzed the situation on the battlefield and decided to launch an attack on Murong Ke's main army after being fully prepared.

"Report, Wang, the army of Yan has been drawn out of camp and withdrawn to the northeast." Just as Hua'an was about to give the battle order, the news of the withdrawal of the Yan army came.

"Murong Ke is smart, we just wanted to fight, and he ran away." Deng Qiang said loudly.

"Your Majesty, since the main force of the Yan army has fled, this shows that Murong Ke is weak-hearted, and our army can immediately launch a pursuit and break the main force of the Yan army." Wang San hugged his fists and said.

Hua An waved his hand, and said: "The main force of the Yan army is cavalry, but our army is dragged down by infantry, how to chase it, if the cavalry pursues alone, it may not be the opponent of the main cavalry of the Yan army, forget it!" ”

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Yan army is marching in a northeast direction. It seems that they want to return to Jicheng directly, so that the main force of our army can immediately rush to Yecheng, defeat Pu Jian's army, and recover Yecheng. Zhuge Xiong built yì said.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "The main force of the Yan army has retreated, and our army naturally can't stay in Bingzhou for a long time, so pass the order down and let the soldiers pack up." Prepare to pull out the camp. ”

"Yes. The king. One of the generals answered, turned and went to prepare.

"Your Majesty, the main army under General Xie is already less than five miles away from the camp." A small school came in and reported.

Hua'an was overjoyed when he heard this. He said loudly: "Generals. With the king to welcome General Xie triumphantly. After speaking, he strode out of the Chinese army's tent. And mounted his horse, and rode towards the army of Shay, and the troops followed.

Soon. Hua'an and his party ran not far in front of Xie Ai's army, and saw Hua'an personally greet him, Xie Ai hurriedly asked the army to stop, and personally led more than ten generals to Hua'an.

"The last general, Xie Ai, meet the king." Xie Ai jumped off his horse and saluted Hua'an with a fist.

Subsequently, the generals behind Xie Ai also jumped off their horses and saluted Hua'an.

Hua An hurriedly waved his hand, asked the generals to get on their horses, and said loudly: "General Xie, this king heard that you have formed a new chariot army and defeated the army of Daiguo, this king is very interested, can you see it." ”

"Your Majesty, please." Xie Ai stepped onto his horse and made a gesture of his hand, pointing in the direction where the chariot unit was.

Hua An nodded, and rode his horse in the direction of the chariot troops, and the generals followed.

"Yes, that's good." Looking at the neatly arranged chariot troops and the charioteers holding weapons on the chariots, Hua An was full of praise.

"Your Majesty, although the soldiers have only been training for less than ten days, they can already advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and they are familiar with battlefield battles." Xie Ai proudly introduced.

Hua An nodded again and again, looked at Xie Ai, and praised: "General Xie, how did you come up with the idea of forming a chariot unit, for hundreds of years, chariot troops have rarely set foot on the battlefield!" ”

Xie Ai hugged his fists and said: "King Qiqi, the last general was also forced to be helpless, so he came up with such a move, the Dai Guo has 150,000 cavalry, and our army only has 40,000 cavalry, the difference in strength is too great, the strength of our cavalry is too weak, and it is impossible to compete with the Dai Guo cavalry, so the last general thought of the chariot before the Qin Dynasty. After saying that, he smiled.

"The chariot gallops, and non-manpower can intercept it, so it seems that as long as there are chariot troops, in the open flat land, the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Yan Dynasty coalition army can no longer be arrogant, haha!" Hua An said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty, after all, there are still shortcomings in the chariot troops, otherwise, they will not be abandoned for hundreds of years, so our army should still be dominated by cavalry, and only by vigorously developing cavalry can we completely eliminate a strong country like the Yan Dynasty, the reason for the development of chariot troops is just that our army's cavalry is insufficient, and in the face of the enemy's large-scale cavalry corps, it is just an expedient measure that has to be taken, once the terrain is limited, the charioteers will become a burden." Xie Ai said truthfully.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "What General Xie said is that our army should mainly develop cavalry, and at the same time, with a small number of charioteers and infantry, so that it can be invincible when fighting against the Yan Dynasty coalition army." ”

Seeing that Hua'an was in a good mood, Xie Ai hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general recently received a letter from Liangzhou, so the lord King Liang is unwell, and now the Yan Dynasty coalition army has retreated, and it will not attack Bingzhou in a short time, so the last general wants to return to Guzang and visit His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

Seeing that Xie Ai was going to return to Guzang, Hua An couldn't help frowning, he very much didn't want Xie Ai to return to Guzang, not because he was afraid that he wouldn't come back, but because he was afraid that he wouldn't come back.

If Hua'an remembers correctly, it won't be long before Zhang Chonghua, the king of Liang, will be seriously ill and die, and his brother Zhang Zuo will seize power, and then kill the ministers and generals loyal to Zhang Chonghua, as long as Xie Ai goes back, he will die at the hands of Zhang Zuo, who usurped power, as written in history, such a generation of famous generals, Hua'an naturally does not want him to die in Guzang, for this reason, he will never let Xie Ai return to Guzang.

Of course, Hua'an will not refuse directly, which will hurt the feelings, besides, Xie Ai is the number one general under the command of Zhang Chonghua, the king of Liang, and he was borrowed by himself with a trick, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to directly refuse Xie Ai to return to Guzang.

"Your Majesty, now that the Yan Dynasty is not peaceful, after the last general returns to Guzang, he will definitely come back, the king has no doubt." Seeing that Hua An was a little hesitant, Xie Ai asked again.

Hua An smiled, looked at Xie Ai, and said: "General Xie, it's not that this king is unreasonable, it's just that King Liang is very young, only in his twenties, six years younger than this king, King Liang is in the prime of life, how can he be sick?" If General Xie doesn't believe it, this king will personally send scouts to visit Guzang, if King Liang is really seriously ill, this king will personally accompany General Xie to Guzang City to visit King Liang, how about it? ”

Although what Hua An said was exactly like a pretext, Xie Ai couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, so he had to clench his fists and say: "The last general is all arranged by the king." ”

Seeing that Xie Ai no longer insisted on, Hua An breathed a great sigh of relief, and comforted Xie Ai a few words, letting Xie Ai continue to stay in Jinyang City, and Hua An will personally lead the main army under his command to attack in the direction of Yecheng to recover Yecheng.

After resting for half a day, Xie Ai led the main army under his command and returned to Jinyang City to station, while Hua An personally led the main army to the southeast direction of Yecheng.

At this time, in the direction of Yecheng, the shape shì was extremely tense, and the main army under Pu Jian, and the Wei army under Jiang Gan and Wang Wu, launched a series of battles of wits and courage, and the vast area from Yecheng to Qinghe County was a battlefield for the two armies to compete.

However, the monarch of Wei, Ran Zhi, and many ministers were all escorted to Jicheng by Pu Jian, which was a great shame for Jiang Gan and Wang Wu.

Jiang Gan and Wang Wu did not have the ability to raid Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, and could not save Ran Zhi and others, so they took all their anger out on Pu Jianjian, and tried their best to fight Pu Jian's forces and make Pu Jian restless.

Of course, worse news awaits Pu Jian, that is, the complete rout of the Yan Dynasty coalition army, which is extremely bad news for Pu Jian, which means that the main force of the victorious Jin army may rush to Yecheng at any time, and the strength of the army under his command is not enough to confront the main force of the Jin army, therefore, this also means that Yecheng must give up.

"Report, general, the main army of more than 100,000 people in the Jin army is less than 100 miles away from Yecheng." A small colonel rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported back to Pu Jian.

"Third brother, I really can't imagine that the main armies of the two countries of the Yan Dynasty are not the opponents of the Jin army, and now, Murong Ke's main force has retreated in the direction of Jicheng, and our army must also evacuate Yecheng as much as possible, so as not to be annihilated by the whole army." Pu Xiong said with his fists clenched.

Pu Jian nodded, and said helplessly: "Not only do you want to evacuate Yecheng, the four counties of Qinghe, Bohai, Julu, and Pingyuan, I'm afraid that all of them can't be saved, our army must immediately withdraw in the direction of Lukou, and join the army of Murong Ping's department in the direction of Lukou, so that we can temporarily gain a firm foothold." ”

"Third brother, could it be that the four counties of Jizhou, which our army has worked so hard to manage, were given to the Jin army for nothing?" Pu Hung seemed a little reluctant.

Pu Jian said helplessly: "The main force of the Jin army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus 50,000 or 60,000 horses of the Wei State, our army has lost the strategy of Murong Ke's army, and it is impossible to gain a foothold in the southeast of Jizhou, so what can we do if we don't evacuate immediately?" ”

When Pu Xiong heard this, he felt that there was indeed no better way, so he immediately went to gather the army of the station and prepared to evacuate in the direction of Lukou.

At the same time that Pu Jian learned that the main force of the Jin army was about to arrive in Yecheng, Jiang Gan and Wang Wu, who were stationed north of Yecheng, also got the news, which was undoubtedly great news for them.

"General Wang, the army of the Northern King is not far from Yecheng, Pu Jian is unable to defend Yecheng, he will definitely evacuate as much as possible, our army can set up an ambush on the way, and severely damage Pu Jian's army to relieve the hatred in his heart." Jiang Gan said loudly.

When Wang Wu heard this, he greatly recognized it in his heart, and agreed: "The general is right, our army can set up an ambush on the road that Pu Jian's army must pass to retreat, but where will Pu Jian's army retreat?" (To be continued......)
