Yang Tianhong stared at the little lotus in his arms, and once again saw the faint blue and black in her eyes, and silently hugged her into his arms with great pity, and said lightly: "If you are tired, rest for a while...... Go to sleep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

His voice seemed to have magic power, and Xiaohe leaned into his gradually warmer embrace, feeling his eyelids gradually heavy. After a while, the sound of her breathing sounded evenly in Yang Tianhong's ears.

Already asleep. Last night, and today's toss, it really tired Xiaohe...... Man, what an extremely terrible animal.

Yang Tianhong bowed his head silently, his lips touching her smooth and delicate forehead. Pulled a thin quilt from behind and wrapped her in his arms.

......

Peaceful and tranquil times cannot last forever.

Ruan Chen Eyu chose to surrender, which also brought the news of the assembly of the Yue army. The intelligence collected by the "cell" from various places shows that Nguyen Tran is not lying. In the past period alone, all the Yue tribal alliances in the southern region have amassed millions of people. First rendezvous at Lang Son, the home city of Nguyen Tran Heihu, and then it took three days to distribute the whole team, and then it was a mighty journey along the river all the way to the north.

The scout sent the news of the Yue Alliance's troops back to Yuan County, and Yang Sui, who had initially strengthened the fortifications, hastened his movements, and he had already received news from Anzhou -- the main force of the Xuanhuo Army led by the hussar general Yang Tianhong had gone south and crossed the boundary of Jiping Fortress. If you follow the route you have carved out, you will be able to reach this place in about a month.

This is a plan set by Yang Tianhong since the capture of Ruan Chen's forehead. For a long time, there has been no increase in troops here in Yuan County, and the number of soldiers has maintained the previous scale of 50,000. The purpose is to make the Yue barbarians feel that the defense of Yuanxian County is empty, and it is also estimated that Anzhou will not be able to transfer a large army, so they will have the courage to gather a large army to fight.

Yang Tianhong's reputation is now a household name in the land of the Yue people. Everyone knows that there is a madman who kills people without blinking an eye on the side of Chu State. The king of the Yue tribe even gave a heavy reward of up to 100,000 gold, just to get Yang Tianhong's head. This Xuanhuo army killed a lot of people, and all the Yue villages near Anzhou were killed. The Yue people could not survive, so they could only migrate to the south on a large scale, which also caused many contradictions within the Yue people. In short, for the Yue people, it is really Yang Tianhong who is eager to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones. It's just that while he is full of anger and wants revenge, he is also afraid of Yang Tianhong's supreme bravery.

Yang Tianhong needs to get the whole country of Yue. This campaign is just one of the goals of the whole plan. The greater strategic purpose was to rely on the strong defense of Yuan County to be able to eliminate more Yue barbarians. Now, Yang Tianhong can't wait for the Yue people not to run away, but to concentrate the army to come over and fight hard.

In order to give the Yue barbarians more courage to fight, Yang Tianhong pulled out the reorganized army in the direction of the east and west, making a constant guard against the Chu State and the trend of threats from other directions. The Yue people sent a large number of fine works, and after careful observation, they really felt that Yang Tianhong would not increase troops in the Yuanxian area, at least not in the short term. Therefore, Ruan Chen Heihu gathered a large army, and he also took advantage of Yang Tianhong's lack of time to divide his troops to completely eliminate Yang Sui's nail and occupy Yuan County forever.

In the military concept of the Yue people, there is obviously no concept of long-distance travel. They didn't know that a large part of the Xuanhuo Army, which set out from Anzhou and marched eastward, were elite veterans, and the rest were newly formed sergeants who had to be trained for long distances during the reorganization. These secrets cannot be known by outsiders. The Vietnamese simply do not understand that it takes so much effort to train an army. After all, according to the customs of the Yue people, warriors are born warriors and can fight without training at all. As for the training system of the Xuanhuo Army, it will never be possible to understand it in the eyes of the Yue people.

Millions of troops, this number is absolutely not wrong. In fact, the first army assembled by the Vietnamese was as high as 600,000. That was only part of the forces that the Viet had assembled in the Lang Son area. Ruan Chen Eyu is not wrong, Ruan Chen Heihu has a very high status among the ethnic group, and he ordered that within ten miles from Langshan, the starting place, to the vicinity of Yuan County, there are Yue barbarian figures everywhere, and it looks really dense along both sides of the river. Even the Jinsha River, a big river connected to the Yangtze River, is also paved with boats driven by the Yue people.

Yes, Jinshajiang. This great river has no name at all on the map of the state of Chu. Yang Tianhong also gave this river such a name according to the habits of another world. Of course, now that the river is in the territory of the Yue Kingdom, Yang Tianhong has no interest in changing the name of the river to the hellish Mekong River.

Mae ...... Mae Nyima is a forced river!

Yang then received a report from the scout: the total number of troops assembled by the Yue barbarians this time was more than one million. The vanguard alone amounted to 300,000. The entire army marched back and forth for seventy or eighty miles, and when he heard the news of this investigation, Yang Sui could only shake his head again and again, calling it a pity.

If only it were normal. The Yue barbarians stretched the march of their troops for such a long time, and Yang Sui would definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack in sections. It's a pity that his main goal in Yuan County is to put on a weak appearance, so that the Yue people will pounce like flies smelling. This battle, instead of the purpose of defeating the Yue barbarians, Yang Tianhong wanted total annihilation. Otherwise, taking advantage of the distance and route of the Vietnamese army to send troops is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

is still the same sentence, only the dead Yue people are the best Yue people.

After enduring the itching cat scratch for several days, Yang Sui saw that the marching speed of the Vietnamese army was still unhurried, and the vanguard troops had arrived within ten miles of Yuan County, but the follow-up troops were still dozens of miles away...... In desperation, Yang Sui could only summon the generals to discuss together.

"Nima, it's not like that's what it's like to huddle here all the time. If you don't move, I'm afraid it will make the Yue people suspicious. Ben was wondering, should we send someone to attack us?"

Yes, I honestly stayed in Yuanxian, of course, in order to attract the Yue people to attack the barbarians. But now, it seems too abnormal to shrink in the county town, watching a great opportunity and not taking advantage of it. The generals of the Yue people are not pigs, and Ruan Chen Heihu is also a well-known figure among the Yue people, so it is impossible not to understand this.

The battle in Yuan County was very important, and Yang Tianhong also put several guards in Yuan County. Yang Lin, who had just been promoted to lieutenant, was one of them. Yang Lin had followed his grandfather on an expedition to Rongdi before, but he had learned a lot from it. Seeing that Yang Sui convened everyone to discuss, Yang Lin said slowly: "If you don't seize the great opportunity, I'm afraid the Yue people are going to be suspicious, it's better to do this, let's send troops to attack the vanguard of the Yue people, once there is a follow-up force of the Yue people, pretend to be invincible and retreat." In this way, it can also confirm the illusion of low morale of our army with more than enough defense and insufficient sorties. As long as he does enough, he is not afraid that he Ruan Chen Heihu will not be fooled. ”

Everyone was in favor of sending troops before, but they had not yet spoken of such a relationship. As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, everyone, even the main general Yang Sui, kept bowing their heads. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since Captain Yang Lin already has such a deep understanding, then the characters who will fight this time will be handed over to you." ”

Yang Lin is also not reserved. Directly responded: "The subordinates will definitely win the first battle." ”

In Yuanxian County, it has always been vast and sparsely populated. Five thousand soldiers seemed to be a lot, but they were taken out by Yang Lin from the east gate of Yuan County, and there was no trace of them at all. After a slight detour of the route, a small detour from the southeast was made, during which the Vietnamese army was unaware.

Soon, after about twenty miles of detour, the 5,000 soldiers led by Yang Lin were finally discovered by the scouts of the Yue barbarians in a wasteland area. However, at this time, Yang Lin's troops were only two miles away from the walled city established by the vanguard of the Yue people.

The army garrison barracks of the Yue people are not called military camps, but walled cities. That's because the troops assembled by the Yue people are not standardized at all, and they form an army in a tribal way. Except for a very small number of leaders who had basic military knowledge of the Central Plains, the Yue people did not know how to set up military camps. According to custom, they only cut down the wood that can be found everywhere and make wooden rows, and then erect them to form fences.

There are very few people who can wear sackcloth. Basically, there are people who are either dressed in animal skins, or covered with rags to cover their shame, and even have people who have made straw into skirts. Speaking of cloth, only the Chu State in the north has it, and even the daily wear of the common people cannot be satisfied, how can there be excess cloth used to purchase tents? Therefore, the walled city erected almost no tents, more grass nests built with wooden shelves, so that when Yang Lin led people to push people to the fence to kill into the walled city, the attacking soldiers casually threw a torch to light a grass nest, and then the burning grass nest was blown by the wind to ignite more grass nests next to it.

The barbarians are really strong in combat. It is precisely because of the lack of nothing that he was able to run rampant in the battles of the early years, killing people, eating people, setting fire and robbing. However, barbarians are barbarians after all, and they can never change their savage nature. As long as the civilized world evolves more powerful weapons of war, barbarism is a joke in front of the powerful soldiers of the Xuanhuo Army.

Wielding a war knife and slashing to death a Yue barbarian who ran to him in a panic, Yang Lin looked over and found that there were Yue barbarians who were chased and killed by their own soldiers and fled in all directions, wearing animal skins, or even wearing nothing.

To tell the truth, from the beginning of the order to lead the Xuanhuo Army south, until now, Yang Tianhong has always looked down on the Yue barbarians. He never felt that the Yue Barbarians posed a mortal threat to him. To put it bluntly, these guys are a bunch of uncivilized natives. Not only because the tribes of the Yue people are lined up and there is chaos inside, but also because the Yue people are indeed backward in technology, only a very small number of Yue people have metal weapons, and many Yue people either take a wooden stick as a weapon, or tie a sharp stone to the wooden stick, as if it is a Stone Age opponent, such an enemy can be threatened in addition to worrying about hiding and sneak attack.

Of course, savage also has the advantage of savagery. The Yue people were very familiar with the environment between the mountains and forests, and they did not need much food during the march. If it weren't for the fact that the court of Chu State had been completely eroded, and the civil official group would not care about other things except reaching out to make money, Anzhou would have been able to manage well under the leadership of Cao Hui, the assassin Shi Caohui, and become the rear of Chu State's rich rice and grain. It's just that it's useless to say these things now. Anzhou is now surnamed Yang, and Cao Hui also ignored the imperial edict. It is said that mourning is better than heart death, and Cao Hui's current state is like this. With the previous tragic experience, he is now simply following Yang Tianhong's orders. As for the imperial court...... As long as it is a smart person with a flexible brain, he will understand that it is impossible for the royal family of Chu to last too long.

From Yang Lin leading people to rush up and push to the fence, to the sergeants attacking together, killing them and setting fire to and cutting people, it was about less than half an hour. There are about more than 20,000 Yue barbarians, and I don't know which tribe they belong to. In short, it seems that this vanguard is completely finished.

Seeing the flames raging in the walled city in front of him, Yang Lin wiped his knife on the corpse of a Yue barbarian who had just cut off his head, and was completely dazed. If I am not mistaken, my task should be to keep fighting, until the Vietnamese army behind comes to reinforce, and then lead the troops to pretend to be defeated and leave...... But now, the Yue barbarians were killed, and many were burned, and the rest either surrendered or ran away. In this case, will the Vietnamese leaders still send troops to support?

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, or because it was the first time he led the army to fight alone, or because the Yue people were too barbarian to kill. Yang Lin, who was so killed, did not grasp the scale well, and as a result, he fell into an embarrassing situation.

Hell, didn't they all say in the past that the Yue people were invincible and arrogant? How do you look at the current appearance, they are far inferior to Rong Di on the northern grasslands? Are those guys in the court of Chu State all blind people with open eyes? Such a group of Yue people can actually let them run rampant on the border of Anzhou for hundreds of years?

Thoughts are thoughts, feelings are feelings, and there is still one thing that should be done.

"The third brigade stayed behind and escorted the captured Yue barbarians back to Yuan County. The rest of you, follow me and catch up!"

Yang Lin is still a family general in the end, and he did not follow Yang Tianhong to learn from Bai. If we take the initiative to withdraw our troops now, we will definitely scare the Vietnamese people and make them even more suspicious of the situation. Since this is the case, it is reasonable to simply make a posture of rushing forward after victory, waiting for the time when encountering the Yue people's army, fighting for a while, and then retreating.

Things have to have logical laws to conform to the status quo. Otherwise, even if the Yue people are idiots like pigs, they will not be fooled at all.

The news of the attack on the vanguard soon spread, and in less than half an hour, 20,000 troops were annihilated by an unknown number of Chu troops, burning down the walled city, and killing an unknown number of people on their side...... The successive bad news made the Yue people who followed up look at the smoke ahead in a little daze, not knowing whether to go over to help or quickly retreat.

Yang Lin drastically solved the problem of not knowing whether to retreat or advance for the Yue people. Thousands of murderous soldiers ran wildly all the way, and once again encountered a Vietnamese enemy army of about 5,000 men. After a burst of charge, they were fighting, and when the Yue people who reacted also sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, this Chu army, which had already killed softly and was not in large numbers, was finally able to make a tired posture that could not be continued without follow-up reinforcements, and fought and retreated in the direction of Yuan County in a desolate trumpet.

The person who led the Yue army to come to support was a fierce general under Nguyen Tran Heihu. To be honest, he himself was frightened by the fierce Chu soldiers after fighting with the Chu army. When he was hesitating to lead the army to escape, the Chu army retreated first, which made him muster up the courage to hold on. Counting it up, the battle in the era of cold weapons is like this, and if you are physically exhausted, it is naturally impossible to continue fighting.

The Yue people's troops are like that, not only when the low-level soldiers are still dazed, the small leaders of the various leaders are definitely the first to run, and they need to wait for the more senior small leaders to bring people over, and when there are more people, they will think that they will not only be cut down, but also killed.

Yang Lin's opportunity this time was very accurate, and he didn't dare to kill too hard, they retreated about three or four miles, waiting for the Yue generals who were chasing and chasing the Yue generals who had become fat because of their courage to shout and speed up the pursuit, Yang Lin immediately and appropriately ordered the troops to make an invincible appearance. The next thing is to speed up the evacuation to Yuan County.

Yang Lin led people to retreat here, retreating and retreating, thinking that the play should be played more seriously, and the Yue people did not have the ability to catch up and entangle themselves, so they simply ordered that the teams of hundreds of people in each part of his command were scattered and retreated. In this way, it is really a bit like the psychological pressure can't bear the pressure, collapses, and scatters.

The Yue general who led the reinforcements was a small tribal chieftain. But to be honest, it's really hard to say how much of the ability to lead troops there is. Especially at the level of knowledge, the Yue people themselves are in the wilderness stage, and they have not been in contact with the outside world, so you can imagine how much vision they can have.

In just one day, from the beginning of Yang Lin's attack to the active retreat, at least more than 5,000 Yue barbarians were beheaded, and at least 2,000 people were burned to death by fire, and nearly 1,000 were captured, and the number of escapees cannot be counted. But the Yue generals, who were not even good at arithmetic, didn't know that at all. He only knew that under the heroic counterattack led by his army, he finally defeated the invading Chu army. Of course, his own losses were nearly 10,000 and he didn't know how many people fled, and Yang Lin's side would not have suffered casualties, let alone very little.

Seeing that the Chu army, which was really unable to catch up with the defeated army, the Yue generals began to feel that they had won, so they proudly sent people back to Ruan Chen Heihu, who was leading the main force behind, and showed off in the battle report, then stopped a little to gather the troops, and then continued to approach in the direction of Yuan County.
