Liu Qi's speculation was correct, although the First Army and the Huwei Army won the first battle, it was not without paying a price, and after the battle, the four corps of the First Army were no longer established, and its casualties were 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the whole army was exhausted, and its combat strength had been greatly damaged.

Ding Feng couldn't know more about his own situation, and when he heard that a large number of Red troops had arrived and blocked the mountain pass, his first reaction was to immediately break out. Ding Feng did the same, he put the two corps with the smallest casualties at the front, led by Shao Lin and Ling Wuya himself, and the whole army broke through to the outside of the mountain.

The Red Army in Goldstone City may not be able to go head-to-head with the First Legion, but it is still possible for the 150,000 people to be on the defensive.

During the battle between the two sides, Shao Lin and Ling Wuya broke into the depths of the Red Army several times, but when they looked back, the soldiers behind them couldn't keep up at all, and they were blocked out of the camp by the Red Army.

Shao Lin and Ling Wuya had no choice but to fight back, pick up their own brothers, and then continue to charge the enemy, but the killing time was not long, and the soldiers of the First Legion behind were blocked by the enemy, so repeated several times, not only failed to rush out, Shao Lin and Ling Wuya were exhausted, and the First Legion also suffered heavy casualties.

Ding Feng, who was watching the battle, gasped when he saw this scene, the commander of the Mo army in front of him was extremely calm, only defending but not attacking, and there were many troops, and it was too difficult for his side to rush out. Fearing that the casualties of his own soldiers would be greater if the fight continued, Ding Feng hurriedly ordered the whole army to stop breaking through and retreat to the depths of the Juejin Mountain.

The First Army withdrew to the depths of the Jujin Mountain, Ding Feng originally planned to lead the enemy to attack, and the First Army could continue to use the advantage of geography to destroy the enemy, but Liu Qi was not fooled by him, and gave the order early to go down and the whole army was stationed in place. Do not step into the gold mountain for half a step.

Juejin Mountain is the place of execution, there is no other way out in it, Liu Qi is not worried that the First Army can escape from other places, in addition, there is no grass in Juejin Mountain, and there is no water. If you want food or not, as long as you can trap the First Army inside, you will have to run out of food and water in a few days, and then you will have to slaughter yourself.

In the midst of war, you need the kind of adventurous commanders who can often surprise and fight unexpected battles that can change the tide of battle, of course. It also needs a calm and cautious commander like Liu Qi, although it is decent, but there will be no major omissions, for example, now, the Red Army obviously has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but it just does not move, maintains a defensive position, and blocks tens of thousands of people in the First Army in the Absolute Gold Mountain.

Soon. Ding Feng also understood the other party's intentions, and secretly complained in his heart. He is not afraid of the sky or the earth, he is afraid of encountering such a conservative opponent.

He ordered the whole army to carry out all the dead horses of the Huwei Army that had been disposed of before, cut off the horse meat, and store them properly. In addition, all the rations and drinking water brought by the whole army are handed over for unified management and distribution. The whole army is ready to fight a protracted war.

Ding Feng almost annihilated the Huwei army with a strange strategy, but he was also trapped by the Red Army in the Absolute Gold Mountain, and the advance of the Jin State Vanguard Army to the hinterland of the Red Kingdom was stopped.

At the same time, the battle on the Jin-Chi border was not over, and more than 100,000 Red troops led by Yin Ze still firmly occupied Yangchuan City.

The second batch of Jin legions to enter the Red Country is the Sixth Legion, and the soldiers of the Sixth Legion are all soldiers of the Mu Kingdom, and the Jin Army is purely composed of wooden people.

Now, the Sixth Army is stationed outside Yangchuan City, and it has only made a feint a few times, but seeing that the defenders in the city are very strong in resisting, Mu Wu is no longer in a hurry to attack, and plans to trap the enemy for ten days and half a month, so that the enemy's fighting spirit is almost exhausted, and he will launch a full-army onslaught.

While the Yangchuan battlefield remained in a stalemate, the news that the First Army was trapped in the Absolute Gold Mountain reached the Sixth Army. At the beginning, Lin Haotian assigned the Sixth Legion as the response of the First Legion, that is, to assist the First Legion in fighting, but the speed of the First Legion was too fast, and when the Sixth Legion left Shuangfeng City, the First Legion had entered the depths of the Red Country, and the Sixth Legion could only do the tail sweeping work.

Hearing the news that the First Army was trapped, Mu Wu gasped, this matter is not trivial, the First Army is the main army of his own side, and there must be no loss, although it is a pity to give up the siege of Yangchuan now, and the previous efforts will also be in vain, but he has no choice but to rescue the First Army.

Before Mu Wu led the Flying Dragon Army to rescue the First Legion, Lin Haotian's general order arrived first, ordering the Sixth Army to continue to attack Yangchuan, be sure to annihilate the Yangchuan defenders, and completely eliminate the Red Kingdom forces on the Jin-Chi border.

Lin Haotian's order made Mu Wuchang breathe, no longer have to worry about the First Legion, he could continue to wear down the Yangchuan defenders according to his original plan.

Lin Haotian did plan to personally lead the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army to Jinshi City to relieve the danger of the First Army being trapped, but the plan did not change quickly, don't look at the First Army to advance to the hinterland of the Red Country very smoothly, long drive, no one can stop it, that is because the First Army came suddenly, the Red Country was unprepared, and was caught off guard, and now Lin Haotian commanded the two Army Corps to enter the Red Country, and then move forward, it is a lot of resistance, and the counties, counties and cities that pass by have gathered a large number of local troops, and every time the Jin Army pushes forward, it needs to go through a bloody battle with the Red Army first。

The two legions of the Jin State, the 4th Army of 100,000 and the 5th Army of 150,000, a total of 250,000 troops, and Lin Haotian personally sat in the army, but the resistance encountered in the territory of the Red Kingdom was strong, the pace was difficult, and the advance was slow.

When he arrived at Zheng'an Castle in Shangjia County, he encountered the main force of the local army of Chiguo.

This local army of the Red Kingdom has 300,000 people, composed of local troops from four counties and thirteen counties. The army of 300,000 could not be installed in Zheng'an City at all, so the camp was set up outside the city and set up around the city, forming a joint camp to protect the city.

Knowing that the Red Kingdom had organized such a large local army, Lin Haotian immediately gathered all the generals to discuss how to break the enemy.

Jin Cheng didn't care about the Red Army, he first spoke: "My lord, the Red Army's combat strength is not as good as our army, not to mention that the enemy army that is now gathered inside and outside Zheng'an City is still a local army, and it is not vulnerable at all. ”

Lin Haotian was silent. He didn't need to think carefully to judge that Jin Cheng's idea was to make a decision.

That's right, just like Jin Cheng said, the other party is a local army, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, if it is attacked by force, it can indeed be defeated, but if you don't finish this battle, you have to rescue the first army, and you have to continue to advance to the hinterland of Chiguo, and even fight to Jiankang, the capital of Chi, if you just attack a small Zheng'an city now and pay huge casualties, then how can you fight in the future?

Without Lin Haotian to speak, Chu Lianyu, who was on the march with the army, had already waved his hand again and again, and said: "It's not proper, if our army storms Zheng'an, the casualties will be too great." ”

Lin Haotian nodded and asked, "Lian Yu, if our army bypasses Zheng'an, how about solving the danger of the First Army first?"

Chu Lianyu thought about it carefully and muttered, "This is also a way, but the hidden danger is too big." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If our army bypasses Zheng'an, the back road will inevitably be cut off, the whole army will lose supplies, and the 300,000 local troops may counterattack from behind our army at any time, if our army does not encounter a strong enemy, it will be enough, once we encounter a strong enemy, the front is blocked, and there are these 300,000 enemy troops behind the back, and the enemy will be attacked on the back, and the situation is extremely unfavorable. ”

Chu Lianyu continued: "In addition, these 300,000 enemy troops are also a rare opportunity for our army, if we can take advantage of the current situation to annihilate them in one fell swoop, then the four northern counties of the Red Kingdom will no longer have troops to fight, and our army will also be equivalent to pacifying the four counties of the northern part of the Red Country." ”

Lin Haotian was silent for a moment, then looked around at the generals and said: "Lian Yu is right, in this battle, our army must fight, and it must be won, completely annihilating the main force of the Red Army in the north of the Red Country, however, the danger of the First Army must also be rescued, who has a good plan, come quickly!"

"My lord, there will be a plan at the end!"

As soon as Lin Haotian's voice fell, someone immediately answered. (To be continued......)
