Chapter 1168 Five crosses the Yellow River to regain the east

PS: Thank you to "Du Jun Stormer", "FF Final Fantasy", "Li Yu'an", and "Silent Tears" for greatly voting for the precious monthly pass!

Han Sui's cavalry was active outside the city for a day, but did not attack Dong'e, it seems that as Wen Chou expected, Han Sui's purpose was to attract Wen Chou's cavalry out to annihilate it, but unfortunately, although Wen Chou was unwilling, but he also knew that his cavalry was indeed inferior to Han Sui's cavalry.

As for the battle of the combination of foot and cavalry, Han Sui was definitely unwilling to fight, and Wen Chou was too lazy to make efforts to set up the formation, so he stood at the head of the city and watched Han Sui's activities in the distance.

Judging by the direction he was going, he should be heading north, could it be that he was going to cross the river to attack Yangping?

"Jingshan, if Han Sui turns around and crosses the river to attack Yangping, how should our army respond?"

"General, although Yangping is not a big city, but there are also 20,000 defenders stationed, even if Han Sui wants to attack, he can't take it for a while, then our army can go to the rescue, or let Zhang Jaw or General Pan Feng go to the rescue, Han Sui's cavalry is precious, and he will not dare to fight hard."

Wen Chou nodded, however, this passive feeling was very bad, as if he was being led by the nose.

Wen Chou's speculation came true again, Han Sui gave up the Yanggu fortress and crossed the Yellow River north overnight, fortunately, the defenders of Yangping got Wen Chou's warning one step earlier and raised their vigilance, and Han Sui, who attacked in the middle of the night, did not succeed. Under the stubborn counterattack of the defenders of the city, Han Sui changed to an attack after an unsuccessful attack.

Han Sui refused to leave. Obviously, he has the intention of eating the 20,000 defenders in Yangping City, and now the closest reinforcement to Yangping is Wen Chou, Pan Feng of Liaocheng is still repairing, and the distance of Koji Yi in Guantao is a little far, so in the local battle situation, Yangping has become a lone army in this time period.

Han Sui's cavalry was divided into several groups, galloping back and forth in the city day and night. So that the defenders at the head of the city could not rest at all, Yangping City was indeed not big, but 20,000 defenders stood on the four city walls. Each side was divided into 5,000 people, and if Han Sui concentrated his forces to attack one side, the pressure on Yangping would still be very great, so the defenders did not dare to rest in batches at all. I can only hold on. This situation will certainly not last.

Wen Chou couldn't, so he could only set off from Dong'e immediately and led 50,000 steps to ride to Yangping.

As soon as the front army crossed the Yellow River, Han Sui's cavalry appeared, Wen Chou sneered, Han Sui really wanted to eat his reinforcements halfway, but unfortunately, Wen Chou had already expected it. Therefore, they were very careful when marching, especially when crossing the river. It was only after An had established a firm position on the opposite bank that he began to cross the river safely.

Han Sui wandered far away on the periphery, and when he saw that there was no time to move, he retreated, but he did not go far, but wandered to the left of Wen Chou's large army, like a hungry wolf, ready to attack at any time when he saw Wen Chou's gap.

Wen Chou's troops have always been known for their strict marching, which is still due to Fang Zhiwen, compared with Fang Zhiwen's cavalry, Han Sui's cavalry is still far behind, at least Han Sui's cavalry has a much shorter range than his own heavy crossbow.

Han Sui followed hard for a long time, but as if he was escorting Wen Chou, he watched Wen Chou enter Yangping City, and during the whole process, Han Sui couldn't find a chance at all.

"Lord, this Wen ugly is worthy of being a famous general in Hebei, and the marching law is really strict 1

Han Sui twisted his waist on the horse, he was still a little tired after riding the horse for a day, Han Sui agreed with Yan Xing's words, Wen Chou's rigor in the march was indeed the only thing Han Sui had ever seen, worthy of being a general under Yuan Shao, it seemed that it would be more difficult to raid halfway, but it didn't matter, the opportunities were all run out, which Han Sui had a deep understanding of as a cavalry general.

"That's true, since that's the case, then let's keep running, aren't the cavalry able to run.1

"What the lord said is that as long as he continues to follow like this, one day we will be able to drag Wen Chou down1

"Hehe, that's exactly what happened, and ordered the whole army to turn south, cross the river and attack Dong'a 1

"No1

At the head of the city, Wen Chou watched Han Sui leave south again, and couldn't help sighing, Han Sui's purpose was too obvious, isn't this just crossing the river to attack Dong'e again! It would be nice if the Yellow River didn't freeze! Now that the surging Yellow River has become a smooth road, he can only be led by the nose to chase Han Sui, Xu Miao is right, there will be a mistake in Baimi, and if you are not careful, you will have to plant your head, but Yuan Shao's purpose may not have this kind of plan to let herself be planted, Wen Chou can only smile bitterly and shake his head.

Dong'e has more defenders, because Dong'e still has people to live, and a lot of militia can be mobilized, and this time is winter leisure, anyway, everyone has nothing to do, Wen Chou mobilized the people to build the city, by the way, also carry out military training, so that Dong'e's defense capability is naturally stronger than Yangping.

However, Han Sui's attack ability cannot be underestimated, Han Sui still used the old method, running around the city wall with cavalry, the defenders on the city did not dare to slack off, and always tightened the strings in their hearts, but after a long time, the energy of the defenders dropped very much, and Han Sui made a feint attack on the city wall from time to time, which consumed a lot of physical strength of the defenders.

After a day and a night passed, this passive defense was too tiring, the defenders of the city were exhausted, fortunately there were players to help, otherwise Dong'e City might be breached, and in the evening, Wen Chou's troops appeared, this time Han Sui also went to the Yellow River to meet Wen Chou, and then escorted Wen Chou all the way to Dong'e, Han Sui turned around and left.

Needless to say, Han Sui must have gone to Yangping again, Wen Chou did not ask Pan Fenghe for help, if these two people moved, it is estimated that Han Sui would harass and attack Guantao and Liaocheng again, therefore, Wen Chou only borrowed 10,000 infantry from Liyi and 10,000 infantry from Pan Feng, and took advantage of the opportunity for Han Sui to move south to Dong'e and transferred to Yangping in a hurry.

Now that there are 40,000 defenders in Yangping City, Wen Chou doesn't have to worry so much about Yangping's safety.

However, Wen Chou forgot that Han Sui's strength was not only the 40,000 cavalry, at least he also had 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry in Dunqiu.

didn't wait for Wen Chou to sleep well in Dong'e, Yangping's letter for help was sent to Dong'e again, it turned out that Han Sui transferred 30,000 infantry, and the contract of 40,000 cavalry surrounded Yangping again, this time there were a lot of Inhuman troops to help in the battle, and it seemed that he really planned to take Yangping in one fell swoop!

Wen Chou hated it, but Yangping's 40,000 defenders couldn't ignore it, in case Yangping was lost, how could these 40,000 infantry outrun the 40,000 cavalry, so Wen Chou had to light up his troops and horses and return to Yangping again.

Hearing the news of Wen Chou's departure, Han Sui immediately stopped the siege, packed up his things and prepared to roll up his baggage and go home, and Han Sui took great pains to meet the Yellow River again, Wen Chou had no problem with Han Sui, so he could only let Wen Chou escort himself into Yangping, watching Han Sui go south again, needless to say, this is going to Dong'e again!

Wen Chou didn't stop this time, and followed Han Sui's ass to the south, Wen Chou made up his mind this time, so he simply bit Han Sui and saw what Han Sui did?

It's a pity that Han Sui's cavalry, even if Wen Chou's marching speed is quite good, but if he wants to chase the cavalry with infantry, it still can't be done, he chased to the edge of the Yellow River, and Han Sui's shadow was invisible.

Wen Chou's troops were already very tired and had to camp to rest, Wen Chou carefully set up camp for fear of being attacked by Han Sui, however, Wen Choubai was worried, and the night was fine.

But before dawn, Dong'a City's urgent letter for help arrived.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Xun's 30,000 infantry led by Zhang Xun arrived from Dongping, and the two armies combined forces to launch a fierce attack on Dong'e, and the already tired defenders were caught off guard, and were actually attacked by Zhang Xun in one fell swoop.

The 30,000 defenders fled out of the east gate at night, most of them were pursued by cavalry, and a small number surrendered.

Wen Chou couldn't help but sigh in disbelief, this is not a hundred secrets, but an inevitable result, being transferred back and forth by Han Sui, although Wen Chou rotated the defenders, but the soldiers are still very tired, on the other hand, Han Sui, because the grassland cavalry is basically marching on horseback all day long, so this level of back and forth is nothing at all.

So Han Sui crossed the Yellow River five times to pull Wen Chou back and forth, consumed Wen Chou's energy and patience, and used the mobility of the cavalry to form a local superiority in troops, as a result, when the sudden increase in external forces appeared, the already overstretched defense line of Wen Chou's army collapsed.

Dong'e changed hands, Zhang Xun's defense line advanced to the territory of Jibei, and after obtaining the support of Dong'e, Han Sui's next activity space will be larger, the north can cross the river to attack Yangping, Liaocheng, and the east can attack Gucheng and Linyi, on the contrary, Wenchou's defense range has become larger because of the loss of Dong'e, especially Gucheng, which has become a salient.

"Jingshan, what can I do about it?"

Looking at the glacier in front of him, Wen Chou was at a loss, and Xu Miao also frowned: "General, Gucheng has now become a salient department, and it will definitely become their next target, and the road for our army to rescue Gucheng is too far, and it is difficult to arrive in time, so it is best to take the initiative to abandon Gucheng and withdraw to Pingyin and Feicheng." In addition, contact General Yan Liang to assist in the defense of the Feicheng line, contact General Pan Feng, and assist in the defense of Linyi, what our army can do is to continue to wear down with Han Sui, and wait until General Pan Feng's troops are replenished and completed, and Pingyang will be handed over to General Pan Feng again, and our army will be stationed in Linyi and Pingyin to form a solid defensive line. ”

"What about the counterattack on Dong'a?"

"I'm afraid not, there are tens of thousands of defenders of Zhang Xun in Dong'a, plus Han Sui attacking from the side, it is very difficult, and Han Sui may also take the opportunity to turn around and storm Yangping."

"Trouble! What if you abandon Yangping and fight for Dong'e with Han Sui? ”

"This adherence to the balance of the yang is set by the lord, and this needs to be consulted by the lord1

Wen Chou paused for a moment, shook his head and said: "Okay, I will send a letter to the lord to ask, first order the defenders of Gucheng to withdraw to Pingyin with the people, and Jingshan will write a letter to Yan Liang and Pan Feng." ”

"No1 is to be continued...
