Chapter 372: Retreat

Jin Zhuo himself also understands that in such a pursuit of the enemy, his own soldiers will become more and more tired, and their combat strength will become weaker and weaker.

After the end, Jin Zhuo thought of offering a heavy reward, as long as the people of the Jin country were willing to provide the whereabouts of the Jin army, as long as the news was accurate, the reward would be 10,000 taels.

As soon as this news came out, there were really a lot of people in the Jin Kingdom who came to report the news, but there were many people who reported false news, and few people reported the true news.

Jin Zhuo had no good plan, so he had to march to capture Lishan City, and ordered the whole army to be stationed, after all, Lishan City was the logistics base of the You Yan coalition army, and if he could not find any trace of the Jin army, capturing Lishan City first would not make him unsuccessful.

Lishan City originally hoarded a large amount of supplies and grain and grass for You Yan's two armies, but now, it was empty, and even the people of the Jin Kingdom had run out, no different from a dead city.

On the second day when Jin Zhuo led the army into Lishan City, the grain and grass sent from the big operation were attacked by a small group of Jin troops, and a team of grain trucks was burned and plundered most of them.

The 20,000 Yan Army led by Cao An was in the trap of the Fourth Legion, surrounded by more than 50,000 people of the Third Legion, and the situation was precarious.

It was a matter of life and death for 20,000 brothers, Jin Zhuo did not dare to delay, and immediately led the main army out of the city to relieve the siege of Cao'an.

However, as soon as they left, the main force of the Third Army appeared near Lishan Castle and attacked the city with lightning speed. And when Jin Zhuo led the army to the place where Angong was trapped. The 50,000 Third Army Corps that surrounded Cao An had run without a trace, and there was no time to trace down where the enemy had gone, so Jin Zhuo hurried back.

The You Yan coalition army returned to Lishan City as quickly as possible, but it was still empty, and the main force of the Jin army that had just captured Lishan City ran away again, but the materials left in the city by the You Yan coalition army were looted. Most of the remaining generals were also killed.

Jin Zhuo has fought all his life, fought for most of his life, and has never encountered such a cunning opponent. The elusiveness of the Jin army made him feel that he had nowhere to go, the 200,000 elite You Yan coalition army had no way to deal with the third army of more than 100,000 people who were not strong in combat effectiveness, and was completely contained in Changyu County by the other party.

At this time, Lu Kai's flexible and changeable command talent in military affairs was brought into full play, and it was in the battle of Changyu County. The name Lu Kai was well remembered by the You Yan coalition army, and it also allowed Lu Kai to completely establish his military status in the Jin Kingdom.

Jin Zhuo's first division fought unfavorably in Changyu County, and the reinforcements of You Yan and the two countries failed to enter the territory of Jin Kingdom.

When You Yan's reinforcements passed through the Red Kingdom, they were intercepted by the First Legion. The strength of the first army is less than 100,000, while the strength of the other side is 200,000, it stands to reason that the strength of the two sides is very different, and You Yan's reinforcements can completely take the opponent lightly, but after the two sides start a battle. The 200,000 You Yan reinforcements did not have any advantage on the battlefield, and could only fight to the extent that they were evenly matched with the Second Army.

Just when the battle between the two sides was in a state of semi-stalemate and half-confrontation. Akakuni suddenly stepped in again.

Without warning, the Huwei army of the Red Kingdom suddenly entered the battle, and the rear of the You Yan coalition army launched an attack.

The Second Army was enough to make You Yan's reinforcements difficult to parry, and now coupled with the sneak attack of the Huwei Army, where could You Yan's reinforcements still be able to support it? The defeat of the Second Army was not great, although the casualties were not great. But the army of twenty was scattered.

After suddenly sending troops to attack You Yan's reinforcements, the Red Kingdom explained this, saying that the reason why the Red Army attacked them was not to aid the Jin State, nor to be enemies of You Yan and the two countries. It is because when the reinforcements of You Yan and the two countries passed through the territory of the Red Kingdom, they plundered and killed innocent people of the Red Kingdom, and also cited some evidence.

As the so-called crime of wanting to add is wordless, Chi Guo insisted that the Huan army killed the people and robbed the property, and You Yan's reinforcements couldn't explain it clearly.

As soon as the Red Kingdom changed its posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, he directly participated in the war, firstly, because the envoy sent by Lin Haotian had arrived in the Red Kingdom, and met the Red King Shi Huai, and told Shi Huai in detail about the current battle situation, and asked him to support the Jin Kingdom. The second is that the fact that You Jun once slaughtered the people of the Red Country and created a plague on their corpses has been widely spread in the Red Country, which makes the Red people hate You Jun to the core, and even hate the Yan Army together.

The voice of the Red Country's aid is getting louder and louder, especially the military generals, who all think that what You Jun has done in the Red Country is a great shame for the Red Country, and if justice cannot be recovered, what face will the Red Country have in the future among the other countries?

Shi Huai was originally advocating to participate in the war, but the ministers of the DPRK and China were opposed, and now he has the support of the generals in the army and the people of the whole country, and he has no worries, just when Lin Haotian sent someone to ask for help, Shi Huai pushed the boat along the river, and ordered the Huwei army to assist the Jin army and attack the You Yan reinforcements who were in the red realm.

The 200,000 You Yan reinforcements instantly became the object of the Red Kingdom's anger, and under the front and rear attacks of the Second Army and the Huwei Army, the whole army was scattered and defeated.

In this battle, Bi Wu can be regarded as seeing the strength of the Huwei army, 100,000 cavalry, when launching an attack, it really seems to be overwhelming, there is no need to fight, just 100,000 cavalry charging forward together, it is enough to deter any opponent.

Before You Yan's reinforcements arrived in the Jin country, they were driven back to the mainland by the first army and the Huwei army, and Ren Tianxing, who had high hopes for him, was disappointed, and the most worrying thing happened, the red country finally stood on the side of the Jin country, and with the support of the red country, the military strength of the Jin country doubled, and the hope of his own victory was minimal.

The whereabouts of Nie Lin's troops are unknown, the plan to encircle Jiangyang failed, Jin Zhuo's battle in Changyu County was unfavorable, 200,000 You Yan reinforcements were defeated and returned to China, and the aid of the Red Kingdom to the Jin State had surfaced.

However, even if Ren Tianxing is the commander of the whole army, but the battle of Vajin is not something he can fight if he wants to, and he can retreat if he wants to, if he wants to withdraw his troops, he must get the approval of the second prince of You Yan, Ren Tianxing understands in his heart that the two imperial courts thousands of miles away can understand the tightness of the war ahead, and the ministers will only simply look at the data of both sides, and in terms of data, they do have an advantage, if they propose to withdraw their troops, they may be detained as a cowardly hat.

After careful consideration, Ren Tianxing wrote a personal letter to Yan Wang Yin Ji, in which he did not mention the withdrawal of troops, but only explained in detail the difficulties encountered by his army, especially the supply problem, which had reached a very critical level.

His letter reached the Yan Kingdom, and it didn't take long for him to get a reply from Yin Ji.

Yin Ji did not give him clear instructions in the letter, but he delegated great authority to him, which also fully showed his trust in Ren Tianxing. Yin Ji's letter stated that he would be able to adapt to the situation, and he would be able to make his own decisions about all the big and small things he encountered, without worrying about the opinions of the monarch and the court.

Seeing Yin Ji's reply, Ren Tianxing's mood was excited and surging, and at the same time, he was completely relieved.

The day after receiving Yin Ji's reply, Ren Tianxing sent an envoy to Jiangyang and invited Lin Haotian to go out of the city to talk.

Ren Tianxing has already made up his mind, even if he wants to withdraw his troops, he has to take the biggest advantage of Jin Guo through negotiation.

When the You Yan coalition army waved the white flag and came to Jiangyang City, its entourage shouted loudly to the city, first reported his identity, and proposed to enter the city to see Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army.

When the soldiers of the Jin army in the city heard this, their noses were almost crooked, are your own cities open when you say they can open them? Is your own commander you can see when you see them?

The impulsive soldiers raised their bows and arrows and were about to shoot the envoys from outside the city, but the generals who defended the city arrived in time to stop those who were about to release their arrows, and then they immediately returned to the city to explain the situation to the lords.

Knowing that the You Yan coalition army invited Lin Haotian to go out of the city to meet, the first reaction of all the generals of the Jin army was that this was a trap of the enemy, and they must have secretly plotted against each other, and they must not agree to the other party.

Lin Haotian also felt inexplicable, when the two armies were fighting, what did Ren Tianxing want to talk about with him......?
