Jia Cong led people all the way to the camp outside the city.

The main force of 46,000 troops, plus 4,000 logistical baggage troops, a total of 50,000 horses, had already gathered here.

Three months' worth of food and grass, as well as all the supplies needed in the army, were also prepared.

With the arrival of Jia Cong, the drum of "Winter, Winter, Winter" sounded, and all the soldiers gathered in the school field.

Jia Cong stood on the platform, looked at the 50,000 soldiers in the audience, and shouted: "Soldiers, as soldiers, we should protect our families and defend the country and serve the country. At present, in Shaanxi, traitors are rampant, causing the local people to live in misery, and the people are living in dire straits.

We are ordered by the emperor to go out to suppress the bandits, and you should fight bravely to kill the enemy, exterminate the traitors, and dare to fight and kill them!"

"Kill, kill, kill······"

The sound of the mountains roaring like a tsunami broke through the clouds and resounded in the sky.

Jia Cong pulled out his long knife with a sigh, swung it forward with all his might, and shouted, "Let's go!"

The cavalry of the 10,000 vanguard battalion, under the leadership of the commander Zheng Huaicheng, took the lead in rushing out of the barracks and disappeared from sight.

Jia Cong led 10,000 forbidden troops, Zhenwu Battalion, Yangwei Battalion, and Shenji Battalion, a total of 36,000 men and horses, and also drove out of the barracks. The baggage battalion, which escorted grain and grass supplies, also followed.

The army traveled all the way, stretching for more than ten miles, and rushed to Taiyuan, Shanxi.

There are still 50,000 horses in Taiyuan, waiting to receive them themselves.

As a pioneer, the pioneer battalion opened the road all the way to the mountains and mountains, and took the lead in rushing to Taiyuan when encountering water.

Jia Cong's army traveled forty miles a day, and after ten days, it finally arrived in Taiyuan, and after receiving the remaining 50,000 horses, Jia Cong let the army rest for a day.

Take advantage of this day to let Tie Zhu contact the special combat team members who came in advance, in order to grasp the latest information.

Half a day later, Tie Zhu hurried back and brought back the latest information.

"Marshal Qiqi, just two days ago, Yulin had fallen, and almost none of the defenders in the city had escaped."

Jia Cong was not surprised by this result, after all, Yulin had been besieged for more than a month, and it was already rare to support it for so long without reinforcements.

Yulin was able to hold on for so long, and also bought himself a certain amount of time, and I don't know if the pontoon bridge on the river is still there?

Jia Cong asked, "Tiezhu, is the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River still there?"

Tie Zhu said: "Back to the commander, the pontoon bridge is still there, and it has not been destroyed."

Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "The rebels should know our news, Yulin is much closer to the bank of the Yellow River, and I don't know if they will occupy the pontoon bridge, where is the pioneer battalion now?"

Li Biao said: "According to the itinerary, it is estimated that the pioneer battalion is about to reach the Yellow River, and the enemy on the Yulin side should not be as fast as the pioneer battalion."

Jia Cong said, "Li Biao, send fast horses to inform the vanguard battalion and ask them to speed up their march and seize the crossing of the Yellow River. Also, tell Zheng Huaicheng not to easily trust the team you don't know, lest you fall for the enemy's tricks."

"Yes, your subordinates."

Li Biao agreed, and then went down to arrange for someone to pass the order.

Jia Cong said to Tie Zhu: "Next, you have to find out the enemy on the opposite side, how many soldiers and horses the enemy has, who is the commander, the nearby terrain and landforms, in short, the more detailed the better. I will assign half of the outposts in the army to you, and I will obey you. Our men try to act in the shadows as much as possible, so as not to be exposed."

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "The subordinates understand that they will complete the task as soon as possible, and the commander can rest assured."

Jia Cong threw him a token and told him to accept his men.

As the saying goes: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Only when you have accurate intelligence and know everything about the enemy will you be able to develop a strategy to defeat them.

Intelligence is a vital part of the equation and must not be left to the hands of others.

If someone is bribed, or if you get false news, and there is a wrong judgment, you may fail.

Splitting the sentry in half in this way is not only possible

Promoting the competition between the two groups of people can also ensure the accuracy of the news, and with the presence of the iron pillar and their own special combat team, it will be more guaranteed.

The day passed quickly, and the next morning, the army pulled out of camp and rushed to the banks of the Yellow River.

······

Zheng Huaicheng, the commander of the pioneer battalion, was resting on the side of the road with his men.

The generals around him were all gathered around him.

"Commander, do you think we can win this time?"

Zheng Huaicheng looked up at the sky and muttered, "It's hard to say, if we had started at the beginning, we might have been able to win, but after all, it was all a rabble. But now, the rabble has become an elite division, and they are all elites who have seen blood, and their number is more than double that of us, and General Ben is not sure at all."

One of his subordinates said: "Commander, our handsome man is a good man, he has never been defeated since his debut, although he is young, he has a brilliant record, and I am very confident in our handsome."

"This is very true, and my subordinates also think that we will definitely win this time."

"I've never seen a big marshal fight, and I still don't know the bottom of my heart, the previous waves of armies, but they are all dead and wounded, and I don't know what our fate will be?"

Zheng Huaicheng said: "The marshal is indeed very powerful, but the current battle situation is unfavorable to us, the marshal has the confidence to come, there should be his way, and after the first battle, you can see the handsome's means."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, which came from far and near, and quickly came to the front.

There were two people who came, and when they came to Zheng Huaicheng, they quickly jumped off their horses and arched their hands: "Commander Zheng, the commander has an order, order your troops to march quickly, quickly seize the Yellow River crossing, prevent the enemy from occupying it first, and even destroy the pontoon bridge, delaying the army's journey."

Zheng Huaicheng glanced at the two of them and saw that they were dressed in outfits, and there was no doubt that they should be Jia Cong's personal soldiers.

Then he got up and answered, "If your subordinates obey orders, they will definitely complete the task. Dare to ask the two brothers, but what happened?"

One of his own soldiers arched his hand and said, "Back to Commander Zhang, Yulin had already fallen two days ago, and the marshal was worried that the other party would destroy the pontoon bridge first, so he ordered your troops to quickly seize the ferry to ensure that the army could cross the Yellow River smoothly."

"Hiss······"

When the generals heard this, they all gasped.

Yulin still could not be saved, and as a result, the whole of Shaanxi had fallen into the hands of the rebels.

The strength of these traitors is really so powerful.

This is really bad news, and it seems that the trip is not optimistic.

Zheng Huaicheng also understood what Jia Cong meant, and even more aware of the difficulty of his mission.

This place is less than half a day's journey from the Yellow River crossing, and it should be able to occupy the ferry first, but the next defense is not optimistic.

If the rebels attack on a large scale, with their own 10,000 cavalry, they will have more than enough to escape, and the defense is insufficient, which is really not enough.

It's just that the commander gives an order, and he can only do what he wants.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huaicheng got up and shouted, "The army listened to the order and immediately opened to seize the crossing of the Yellow River."

"Yes, Your Command."

A moment later, the vanguard battalion army set out again and galloped towards the banks of the Yellow River.

When the two soldiers saw that the pioneer battalion was far away, they rode back and went to report to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong, who received the news, breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to slack off, and ordered a rapid march, and the army marched eighty miles a day, quickly rushing to the entrance of the Yellow River.

Only 10,000 horses were left behind, escorting the baggage battalion slowly.

······

Shaanxi, Yulin.

In the palace, the lights are bright at this time, the high friends are full, the chips are staggered, the drums are singing, the wine and the beautiful woman, the light song and dance, the wine fragrance is overflowing, the laughter is loud, and the atmosphere is peaceful.

The scene in front of me, where is there the scorched earth everywhere after the war, and the scene of the city is full of gloom.

The person in the main seat, in his thirties, has a capable face, holding a gorgeous dancing girl in one hand, hugging left and right, so comfortable.

This person is Li Chuang, the commander of the rebel army.

The people below are also doing the same, holding the dancing girl in their arms and indulging in indulgence.

At this time, a young general hurriedly entered, came to Li Chuang, and arched his hand: "General Qiqi, our spies have sent back the news that the imperial court has sent 100,000 troops again, led by Jia Cong, the Duke of Ningguo, and has now arrived in Taiyuan, the target is Yulin, and the general is requested to make a decision as soon as possible."

When Li Chuang heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He was not surprised at all by the imperial court sending reinforcements.

Those officers and soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, compared with their own subordinates, it is far worse, not to mention 100,000, even more, he doesn't care very much, what he cares about is Jia Cong.

[In view of the general environment,

For Jia Cong, the Duke of Ningguo, he is also like thunder.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I also knew that this person was not an easy person.

It is said that a soldier will be a bear, and a nest of bears will be the courage of the soldiers.

For these, as a general, he naturally has a deep understanding that with Jia Cong's imperial army, it will no longer be as easy to deal with as before.

I finally met a powerful opponent this time, and I don't know if Jia Cong is really as powerful as rumored.

If you can defeat this person, then you will also be famous all over the world.

Thinking of this, his eyes were full of light, and he looked eager to try.

At this moment, Li Chuang, no longer indulging in pleasure, sat up, slapped his palms, attracted everyone's attention, and waved his hand at the dancing girls who were dancing in the middle, letting them retreat.

After glancing at the subordinates below, he saw that they were all looking at him, and suddenly spoke: "Brothers, the imperial court has sent another 100,000 reinforcements, and they are coming to our Yulin, and it is time for us to make a move, what good plan do you have?"

Niu Xing said: "Big brother, as far as the virtues of those officials and soldiers are concerned, there is no need to worry, brothers, I can destroy them, and I don't need to make a big brother."

Li Chuang said solemnly: "Those officers and soldiers are just that, this time it is Jia Cong, the Duke of Ningguo, who led the troops, it is reported that since this person debuted, he has never been defeated, and he will win every battle, and he must not be underestimated."

Wang Yan said: "Ning Guogong, this person, his subordinates have also heard of it, he is indeed a powerful person, and he cannot be ignored, so we should be cautious. General, it is imperative that we quickly occupy the crossing of the Yellow River, so that we can attack and retreat when the time comes, and in case of an accident, we can also cut off the pontoon bridge and block the imperial soldiers and horses on the other side of the Yellow River."

Li Chuang nodded and said, "What Brother Wang said is very much in line with me, I don't know which brother is willing to go."

Niu Xing said with a big grin, "Little brother's wish."

Li Chuang groaned slightly, and then agreed.

"Okay, then ask Brother Niu to lead your soldiers and horses to quickly seize the Yellow River crossing, don't let the officers and soldiers take the lead, and General Ben will then lead a large army to support you."

Niu Xing said loudly, "Don't worry, big brother, you just wait for my good news."

Watching Niu Xing leave, Li Chuang said again: "Brothers, everyone should also go back and prepare, tomorrow the army will be drawn to meet the official army, I want to see if that Jia Cong is really as powerful as the legend."

Brother Wang Yan, you will take 10,000 people to stay in Yulin in case of emergency."

His army had just won a big victory, and at this time his morale was high, and with the momentum of a big victory, he could completely crush the enemy.

All the generals bowed their hands together and said, "Yes, my subordinates obey."

······

Half a day later, the pioneer battalion rushed to the bank of the Yellow River.

Looking at the turbulent water of the Yellow River, it is really breathtaking.

Zheng Huaicheng didn't have time to enjoy this magnificent side, and hurriedly led people to the other side of the Yellow River.

It wasn't until this moment that he was relieved.

The first step of the mission has been completed, and the next step is to guard the ferry and ensure that the army crosses the river smoothly.

Let's hope all of this will go smoothly.

A small force of cavalry was sent to investigate the situation within a radius of ten miles, and the direction of Yulin was extended for twenty miles to investigate the enemy's traces.

The rest began to set up tents not far away.

There was nothing to do all night, which made Zheng Huaicheng feel a lot more relaxed.

But the good times did not last long, and on the afternoon of the third day, I visited the Malay newspaper and found a large army of the enemy thirty miles ahead.

When Zheng Huaicheng heard this, he was shocked, he was still here.

Hurriedly sent people to investigate, knowing that the other side only had 30,000 infantry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is a field battle, 10,000 cavalry can completely defeat 30,000 infantry, and if it is to defend the ferry, it will be a bit hanging, mainly because there is nothing here to help the defense.

Thinking of this, Zheng Huaicheng sent his cronies to rush back to deliver a letter to Jia Cong.

Tell Jia Cong the news here, and ask him to send someone over to support him as soon as possible, calculate the time, it should be almost there.

Faced with the enemy on the opposite side, Zhang Huaicheng decided to take the initiative to attack and intercept the enemy outside the ferry.

Leaving 1,000 men to guard the ferry, with 9,000 men, they met them brazenly.

Soon the two sides were already five miles apart, and each could see each other, and they all had a tacit understanding to stop advancing.

At this time, a horse ran out from the opposite side, and only stopped his horse when he came closer, and shouted at this side: "We are officers and soldiers who have retired from Yulin, but you are reinforcements sent by the imperial court?"

Zhang Huaicheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the other party carefully, this dress was indeed the same as his side.

looked at the opposite camp again, and it was the same, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

These people are ostensibly dressed as officers and soldiers, but the officers and troops in Yulin have already been defeated, how can there be so many soldiers, this must be fake.

At the moment, he said quietly: "We are indeed the imperial court reinforcements, and the 100,000 army has already camped on the opposite bank, and we will cross the river tomorrow."

When the person on the other side heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.

Fortunately, it was in time, if it was too late, it would really be too late.

With a smile on his face, he said, "That's really good, we will be relieved to meet you, and I will let people come and meet you."

Seeing that the army on the opposite side was gradually approaching, Zheng Huaicheng showed a sneer on his face, and wanted to come over to sneak attack, but he didn't know that the marshal had expected it a long time ago, and he was really looking for death.

Seeing that there were still about two miles away, Zheng Huaicheng drew his sword with a brush and shouted, "Brothers, that's a traitor on the other side, kill the enemy with me, kill."

"Kill, kill, kill······"
