Pei Renji sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, that's because these people are very confident in their army, before, the dog had discussed with the Shou of Dohe County whether to let the people of Dohe County temporarily withdraw to Baohan County first, and many people expressed their opposition, and few were willing to withdraw......

"In that case, I can't let them down." Along the way, the city wall of this river county has been rebuilt, the original earthen wall has been wrapped with a thick layer of masonry, and the city gate and the corners of the city wall are poured concrete.

The height of the city wall is more than three zhang, and the thickness is also more than two zhang and five, if those Tuyuhun army want to take this city, they don't have enough siege equipment, they can't take it at all, or they can only besiege it. However, this is on the edge of the Yellow River, and our sailors, that is, the fifty warships located in Baohan County, can fully supply this Hejin City.

Although there are 50 ships in the navy, each ship will not weigh more than 100 tons, and its draft will not exceed two meters.

In addition, each warship is equipped with only twenty crossbowmen, and four ballistae, although it is not as large as the large warships of the Hancheng Naval Division, but it is enough to run rampant on the Yellow River in this area.

And it is precisely because of the water division that Pei Renji dared to give an order to let a division block Tuyuhun's 50,000 army, and it was precisely because of the water division's containment that this division was able to advance and retreat freely.

After wandering around the city for a long time, feeling the peace and tranquility of these ordinary people, yes, it seems to me that the war is still thousands of miles away, although they are also talking about it, there are worries, but more than that, it is the smile and confidence on the face.

Even when I walked into a restaurant, I heard the conversation of the diners, the trust and pride in the Chinese Renaissance Army.

A white-haired diner looked proud: "The old man thinks that Tuyuhun Mo said that it was an army of 50,000, or an army of 100,000, so what, in the past, how fierce the army of Western Qin was, Li Liang in Hexi, and Murong Shifu, the former Khan of Tuyuhun, were not the opponents of Xue Ju's father and son......"

"Such a Western Qin, but defeated in the hands of our Chinese Revival Army, which shows the sharpness of the combat power of the Chinese Revival Army, and the world should be invincible. Tens of thousands of troops are coming today, and if they can't protect this Hejin City, it will be too unexpected. ”

"Uncle He said this is very good, a certain year went to Chang'an, at that time, I saw General Qu Tu leading the army back from Bashu, at that time, on the Vermilion Bird Street, the armor under General Qu Tu, all of them were wearing invulnerable iron armor, and the sharp blades in their hands were all things that were refined......"

"At the beginning of the founding of the Son of Heaven, there were no more than 10,000 soldiers, and at that time, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the former dynasty in Guanzhong, and the name of the elite in Guanzhong was known to the world.

Several old men and middle-aged people were eating and drinking on the side, and there were no people at the next table to join in the discussion, and everyone's faces were excited and excited, but they didn't feel nervous at all because of the arrival of the 50,000 Tuyuhun army.

Pei Renji, who was sitting next to me and tasting tea, whispered and laughed at me. "Even the people in the far border areas have such confidence in the court, which shows that His Majesty is able to rule the world."

I shook my head and said very modestly: "Where, I just did what a superior person should do, and more relied on soldiers like you, uncle, who are dedicated to the country, and those civil servants who govern the people." I am in China, in order to have today's prosperity. ”

The sake here tastes average, but it is very sweet, and the food is not very good, but when you see such a popular heart, you should really enjoy it.

……

Bae In-ki's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. "Your Majesty, are you really going?"

"That's natural, now that the army is stationed here, it is only fifty miles away from the enemy, and as the lord of an army, I naturally want to explore the truth." I'm very serious. Of course, in fact, it's really boring to stay in the barracks, and besides, we are also the emperor who will take over the world soon, and in such a war, we also need to understand some real enemy situations.

As soon as the words fell, a large number of civil and military ministers began to troll crookedly, as if this son was not going to check the enemy's situation, but a little Lori, as soon as he went out, there would be countless strange uncles holding lollipops to fool the innocent and ignorant me.

In the end, at the insistence of Ben Gongzi, Pei Renji stood up and was willing to accompany Ben Gongzi to inspect the enemy. This problem was finally solved. The so-called reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, naturally, could not bring a cavalry of the Praetorian Guard regiment, but he still had to bring a battalion of 500 Praetorian Guard cavalry, plus Pei Renji's escort, more than 600 knights, galloped out of the camp and galloped straight ahead.

After running west along the banks of the Yellow River for more than half an hour, we arrived at the basin where the Tuyuhun camp was located, more than 50 miles away from our station.

Here is about ten miles away from the bank of the Yellow River, this is a very beautiful and vast grassland, the green green mountains in the distance overlap, even the sky is full of blue color, a team of Tuyuhun cavalry, as if grazing, around the big camp in the center of the green grass, or riding horses, or driving horses and sheep as rations to graze.

Between the tents of the camp, you can see the smoke raised by piles of bonfires rising and falling with the wind, gradually dissipating in the clear sky, and the melodious singing from time to time, soaked in the vastness and emptiness of the grassland.

The Tuyuhun people did not break away from the habits of the nomads, and their combat and marching methods were very similar to those of the Turks, but among the 50,000 Tuyuhun troops, there were at least 20,000 Tuyuhun troops who came on foot, and it seemed that their war horses were no better than the Turks.

"They're too laid-back, aren't they?" Standing on the high slope in the distance, I couldn't help but laugh and cry when I saw the scene in front of me from afar. Seeing this, Ben Gongzi almost thought that he was dazzled, these Tuyuhun people didn't look like they were fighting and invading, but like they were camping for a spring outing.

Seeing that this son was impulsive, he looked back, well, let's be steady, don't learn from my mother-in-law, as soon as I see that the enemy has a flaw, I immediately rush out to kill the world, no matter how much capital I have.

As an emperor, you must consider the overall situation and be cautious, especially at such a major juncture, you must not ignore it.

"They do, and this is a testament to the success of our plan to lure the enemy." Pei Renji put down the binoculars, and his face was taken for granted. "We only sent one division, and we began to fight with these Tuyuhun people thirty miles east of Shudun City, and after successive defeats, we have lost seven formations so far."

"There was not even a counterattack, the previous several times, it was only after the battle that it was defeated, and then the next three engagements, each time it slipped faster than a rabbit, these Tuyuhun people are afraid that our Chinese Revival Army is just a false appearance. Therefore, it is natural to be defenseless. ”

"This is very good, since Murong Daxi is so relaxed, it is exactly what I want. By the way, General Pei, how many soldiers and horses did Murong Daxi leave behind to guard Shudun City? Ma Zha, who took Li Yuanfang's handover, sat down.

"According to the news from the dark post the day before yesterday, there will not be more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Shudun City today." Bae In-ki replied without thinking about it. "Your Majesty is trying to cut off his back road?"

"I do have such an idea, I intend to use the sailor to transport the soldiers and horses along the way, and then take Shudun City by surprise, what do you think?" I nodded and smiled. In this battle, there will only be one result, that is, the Chinese Renaissance Army will win a big victory, and on this basis, it is natural to find a way to achieve greater victories. Cutting off Tuyuhun's back road and cornering the 50,000 Tuyuhun army is the best choice.

Bae Renji stroked his long white beard and nodded solemnly. "Your Majesty is a great good policy, but to cut off its back road, it depends on the timing, after all, the sailor will not transport too many soldiers and horses, if it is early, then, cut off its back road, it will be found by the Tuyuhun people, when the time comes, the 50,000 army retreats to Shudun City, then this strange soldier, it will be a dilemma."

"Well, our naval warships in the upper reaches of the Yellow River are not big, except for the necessary sailors, the maximum number of fully armed soldiers is fifty, and fifty ships can only transport two thousand five hundred soldiers at a time. If it is cavalry, it is at most 800 cavalry. ”

"For the sake of prudence, at most one round trip in one night, five thousand foot soldiers, it will take two nights." People like Pei Renji who are old and heavy-minded are naturally not untargeted.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go." Luo Shixin rushed out and said expectantly. Not far away, Hou Junji's eyes were also puffed out, but he was only a regimental lieutenant, so he didn't speak in the end.

Looking at the anticipation on this guy's face, and then at Hou Junji, who was standing behind with an eager face, this son narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Shixin, this air raid is fast, ruthless, and accurate." I know your skills very well, but you are a veteran in the army, and you must not be left lightly, otherwise, who should replace the command of my Praetorian Guard? ”

Luo Shixin grinned, and could only retreat to the side stupidly, Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin were both division commanders of the Praetorian Guard, but this time, among the two people, Li Xuanba was the commander of the Janissary Cavalry Division, and Luo Shixin was the deputy division commander.

Now, Li Xuanba followed his sister to the Northern Route Army, and he only took two regiments with the Praetorian Cavalry Division, and the remaining three regiments were led by Luo Shixin. If Luo Shixin flashes again, then only this army will be led by Ben Gongzi himself.
