His eyes wandered ahead, and Lang Ya's hand was raised slightly, signaling the follow-up troops to pay attention.

For the cavalry units acting as the vanguard, engagement was not important, the key was to control the direction of the Linqu army and prevent the large army from being attacked and interfered with during its march towards Yidu.

Therefore, Hong Kui sent the First Army of the Wuning Cavalry Army out and divided the First Army into two parts, which were to outflank and attack from the east and west sides.

For the Huaiyou Army, taking Linqu is a very simple thing, but it is of little significance, Linqu is far from Yidu, if it is used as a storage point for heavy grain and grass, it will be farther, and Linqu garrison is not much, and it is the Eleventh Army of the Pinglu Left Army temporarily sent by Qingzhou, what to do now is to block this passage and prevent the enemy from reinforcing Yidu.

Hong Kui divided his four cavalry into three clusters, the first cluster is the first army, responsible for monitoring the line from Linqu to Beihai, preventing the 11th Army of the Pinglu Left Army stationed in Linqu and the local garrison army of Beihai and the private armed forces of the local gentry and wang clans to reinforce and attack the Huaiyou Army in the north, it seems to be a little thin, but with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry in the field, as long as the opponent is not cavalry, the raid can maximize the power of the cavalry.

And he himself personally led the second group, that is, the second army and the third army, to bypass Yidu in the north, and stayed on the Niushan line not far north of Yidu City, mainly responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the garrisons of Linzi, Qiancheng, and Shouguang and the private armed forces of the local gentry, of course, more importantly, to block the Yuan army from Qizhou and Zizhou, and also included the 12th Army of the Pinglu Left Army that was transferred to the northern border area.

The third cluster is the Fourth Army of the Wuning Cavalry, which acts with the main force of the army, mainly to deal with the cavalry in Qingzhou City, once the cavalry in Qingzhou City is dispatched, it is necessary to be on the front of the hard bar and drag the other party, but this situation may only be the case in the case of the Pinglu Army dog in Qingzhou City jumping over the wall in a hurry, you must know that it is easy to go out of the city and difficult to return to the city, once you go out of the city and are surrounded by a large army, it is difficult to return to the city, and the entanglement will hang the other party little by little.

The two battalions on the left and right under his command, under the leadership of the deputy envoy, had already bypassed the front of Linqu City and swam to the east, while he led the three battalions in the front and rear to approach Linqu City.

The 11th Army of the Pinglu Left Army, which was stationed in Linqu City, came over temporarily.

Because a few days ago, a group of bandits from Mount Tai attacked Liu Dahu outside Linqu City, causing a bloody case of being looted in the house of Liu Dahu, who served as a county leader in Linqu County, and Liu Dahu's in-laws are the Wei family of the nine princes in Chang'an City, it is said that this group of bandits is extremely fierce, it is a famous "people slaughtering Zhang" in Taishan Mountain, and the number of bandits gathered is more than 300 people, and the garrison is difficult to control.

Linqu City urgently called the police to Qingzhou for help, so Qingzhou City made an exception and sent a regular army to suppress the bandits.

Now the task of the First Army of the Wuning Cavalry is to firmly lock the Eleventh Army of the Pinglu Left Army in Linqu City.

Of course, the task of Langya's cavalry army does not stop here, in addition, the reinforcements that may arrive from the local and eastern Beihai and further Laizhou also belong to his task, once the local gentry private armed forces are organized, it may also threaten the future battle of the Huaiyou Army against Qingzhou City, but this may not appear for a later period of time, and now the task of the First Army is to solve the threat of the 11th Army of the Pinglu Left Army.

Langya's deputy Mao Tuan is a military general from the original probation army, but this guy is not from Lu Qiming or Yu Mingzhen's department, but from Shi Yu's subordinates.

When he went to Chang'an to be a rich man, he left behind a lot of generals who were unwilling to go to Chang'an, these generals were all in Xuzhou, and the huge family did not have much savings, of course, it was impossible to go to Chang'an at any time.

Mao Tuan once served as the deputy commander of the Shi Yu Tooth Army, but Shi Yu's Tooth Army basically stayed in Xuzhou City, and there were few performances, so Mao Tuan did not have many opportunities to show himself, until the end of the Shi Yu era, Shi Yu's Tooth Army was disbanded, and Mao Tuan had to find a way out by himself.

Fortunately, Lu Qiming and Yu Mingzhen are also still knowledgeable people, knowing Mao Tuan's ability, and recommended it to Jiang Feng, so he entered the First Army of the Wuning Cavalry as the deputy commander.

Now Mao Tuan's task is to quickly familiarize himself with the situation on the line east of Linqu under the guidance of the guide arranged by Wuwentang, and to be vigilant at all times to block any reinforcements that may be given to Qingzhou City.

The cavalry of the two battalions is not less, even in the face of an army of infantry, this cavalry force can also tear apart the defense line of the infantry army with its high-speed mobility ability, and easily defeat it, of course, this is only in common sense, if the infantry has the magic force to cooperate, and then can choose the right position to deploy, the same can establish a solid defensive line.

"My lord, Deputy Envoy Mao has already arranged in place, from Beihai to Linqu, to ensure that not a single soldier will pass. ”

"Well, tell him that not only a soldier, but also any merchant is not allowed to enter the territory of Yidu. Lang Ya nodded in satisfaction.

Mao Tuan's movements are also very fast, and this guy seems to have a taste that is different from himself, probably not very satisfied with this deputy envoy.

Lang Ya didn't care, he was afraid that his deputy was a wreck, a mule or a horse, and he would know that he had the ability to do it, and he did not hesitate to recommend it in front of the Hong soldiers and horses, this army is so direct, if you have the ability, you can use it, as long as you have the ability, someone will naturally see it.

If you can move from your deputy to the position of commander, you will also have face, and the bigwigs above will be able to look up to yourself.

The people and horses rolling down from Muling Pass were like a torrent bursting the embankment, and the entire mountain road was crowded in an instant.

All the business travelers on this road were temporarily detained, on the one hand, to get out of the way, and on the other hand, to avoid leaking the news as much as possible, even if it could not be concealed for a few days, but it could be concealed for a few days.

First of all, the cavalry quickly attacked, and as soon as they got out of the mountainous area, they sealed and controlled the line of Linqu and Beihai according to their respective tasks, and then extended to the north by detouring to seal the roads of Linzi, Qiancheng and Shouguang.

Followed by the rapid march of the infantry, and then followed by the cavalry of grain, grass, baggage and equipment transport vehicles, which is the slowest speed, but it is also essential, if you want to capture a fortified city like Qingzhou City, there can be no other luck, you can only rely on abundant siege equipment to destroy the blow and the corpses of the soldiers to pile up, there is no other shortcut.

At this point, whether it is Jiang Feng, Cui Shang, Wang Miao, Yang Kan, Yu Mingzhen, and Lu Qiming, they all know in their hearts, especially to take Qingzhou City in a relatively short period of time, even if they are trying every means to cut off foreign aid, and at the same time use various means to weaken the garrison of Qingzhou City to the situation that there are only four armies left, the cruelty of this war is probably beyond any battle of the Huaiyou Army since the establishment of the army.

But no matter how cruel this battle is, it has to be fought, rather than dragging its feet to fight Haizhou or Mizhou, it is better to capture the thief and capture the king, directly defeat Qingzhou, and cut the Pinglu army into two sections, and without Wang Shouzhong, I believe that neither Wang Shouxin nor Liu Yansi will be able to control the situation at all, and the entire Pinglu army will directly collapse, and then the entire Pinglu will be included in Huai's right hand.

It was such a huge temptation of interests that made Jiang Feng make up his mind.

He also knew that he was going to break into ghosts after walking at night for a long time, but he had to do this, the drastic changes in the situation in the north and the Central Plains forced him to make such a risky move, he also wanted to stop and digest Huaibei and Yanyunyi, he also wanted to develop Luhao Chu and then run Huaibei, but would the Khitans and Shatuo people give him this time?

Thinking of all the things in the original time and space, from the Khitans to the Jurchens to the Mongols, there was no China after Yashan, and he didn't dare to bet.

He would rather build a union similar to the Tang and Song dynasties on his own, rather than the conquest of agrarian civilization by nomads, if that were the case, his own experience would be meaningless.

So such an adventure, he felt it was worth it.

Although the prosperity of magic in this time and space has brought some changes to this world, in the face of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of rolling iron horses, he has no bottom in his heart whether this way of magic can become the mainstay, so he must use his knowledge to seize the commanding heights and establish an advantage as much as possible, supplemented by magic and budding science, to stop the attack of the nomads who will become more and more ferocious.

From Muling Pass, after leaving the mountain, it is Linqu City, in fact, after leaving the mountain, it will not be able to keep it secret, and Qingzhou will get the news soon.

And when he grasps the scale of the Huaiyou army, I am afraid that Wang Shouzhong will soon realize that the previous attack on Ziqing by the Chengde army in the north, the storming of Qizhou by the remnants of the Taining army, and the attack on Denglai by the bandits in the East China Sea, and even the movements of the Huaiyou army on the line from Linyi to Yishui are all illusions and covers.

At this time, any planning and tricky actions are redundant, and what you are about to face is a hard-hitting impact, is the shield of the Pinglu army thicker, or the spear of the Huaiyou army is sharper?

Looking at the waves of troops rushing forward in front of him, Jiang Feng was also a little stupid for a while.

So many sons and daughters from Yanyunyi, Xu Sihai and Huainan will prove themselves with flesh and blood under the thick walls of Qingzhou, after this battle, I don't know how many people will become widows, how many people will lose their fathers and brothers, and how many people will want white-haired people to send black-haired people?

War is so cruel, for Jiang Feng, this kind of feeling is already difficult to move him, with one war after another, all this will be deeply hidden under countless boring figures.
