Chapter 255: The First Battle on the Border

Daqin, Xijing, and Qin Wuyang are also mobilizing troops, and this time he has mobilized a total of 500,000 regular troops, 100,000 [Golden Fire Cavalry], and 10,000 [Half-Demon Legion].

Several high-end combat forces such as the Wild Fox of the Natural Disaster and the Divine Realm were sent to the border path of Liangzhou to ambush. The crown prince Qin Feng is the commander of the three armies, plus Loulan's 200,000 border pass army, which is actually comparable to the Great Zhou.

Loulan Pass, Qin Chu seemed to be able to sense the upcoming battle, and the soldiers at the border pass were also very nervous now.

The news that the Great Zhou is about to be overwhelmed by the army has already spread.

"General, Your Majesty has sent news." Le Yang trotted all the way with a slight smile on his face.

"It seems to be good news, how many reinforcements has Your Majesty sent"

"There are 500,000 regular combat troops, as well as the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Half-Demon Legion, a total of 700,000 troops, which will arrive in a few days." Qin Slash's spirits were lifted, it seems that His Majesty also wants to finish his work in one battle, this is almost all the elite troops of Great Qin.

"Okay, pass the order, the 200,000 troops at the border pass are the vanguard, first go out of the city for thirty miles and camp, and reserve enough water, although the firearms of the Great Zhou are powerful, but when they touch the water, they are a pile of scrap iron," Qin Shu is really a generation of famous generals, although he can't crack the destructive power of the musket, but he still found a way to restrain the firearms.

Yecheng, a small border city in those years, was later renovated many times and assisted by artillery, and its defense was greatly enhanced.

Before the arrival of the large army, Sun Feng sent Chonglou to lead 50,000 elite troops into the station, and arranged 100,000 troops on Canglong, and the other 50,000 troops drove directly to the border line to confront Qin Shu.

Jizhou and Youzhou are relatively close to Yumen Pass, and the 100,000 Youzhou ghost riders led by Meng Qinglou, Youfeng and Youxuan arrived at Yumen Pass the fastest.

The 100,000 sky-fighting horses led by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shu and the grain and grass of the three armies are also coming. Yazhou's Shenting Guard was led by Lynch, and Jinzhou's Xuanjia Army was led by Liqian Mo a few days later.

"Meng Qinglou has seen the marshal." Sun Feng looked at the three people in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was really a young talent.

"The three of you don't have to be polite, you have worked hard all the way, the barracks and grain and grass have been prepared in Yumen Pass, and you are invited to rest for a while."

"Thank you, Marshal." An army of 100,000 entered the pass, and the people inside the border pass had moved out in advance, and the whole city looked a little deserted.

At night, the three armies began to bury pots and cook rice, and there was plenty of grain and grass in Yumen Pass, but it could not support the supply of 300,000 people.

Meng Qinglou saw this and found Sun Feng.

"Marshal, looking at the grain and grass situation, the best thing is that it can last for ten days, hasn't the grain and grass in Jizhou arrived yet?" Sun Feng looked at it and said: "According to the time, Yuan Tan's grain and grass should be almost there, after all, it is such a large amount in the past few days, there should be no problem." Meng Qinglou didn't say anything when he heard this, after all, the grain and grass transportation time didn't want the army to run so fast, not to mention that it could last for more than ten days, so there was no need to be too anxious.

But this has been known by Qin Shu, although he can't penetrate Yumen Pass, but he also knows the situation in Jizhou, and has already sent spies into Jizhou, and sure enough, he found an abnormality.

Yuan Tan deliberately slowed down the loading speed of grain and grass, which would arrive at least three days later than expected. And the supplies from Loulan and Daqin will arrive soon.

So he immediately gave the order to attack first seven days later, and put pressure on them to drag down their logistics.

Five days later, the grain and grass were nowhere to be seen, and Sun Feng sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent scouts to Jizhou to check Yuan Tan's progress.

But Yuan Tan didn't wait, Yuan Shu's 70,000 Heaven Fighting Horses arrived first

"Met the Marshal"

"Yuan Shu is here, the battle for heaven is really extraordinary, but where are the younger brother Yuan Tan and the grain and grass." Sun Feng still politely greeted a few words.

"The marshal rest assured, but it must be there within the time, the marshal doesn't know, it rained heavily a few days ago, the road is really difficult to walk, and the beam transport car is broken again, but the marshal rest assured that Yuan Tan has come at the fastest speed." Yuan Shu's words are really not convincing, the roads in Dazhou have been repaired, and the heavy rain a few days ago is not heavy at all, it seems that Jizhou really has different intentions.

Sun Feng was silent, first arranged Yuan Shu and his sky-fighting horse, and then found Meng Qinglou.

"Jizhou Yuan Shao is really not a good thing, as soon as the sky is ridden, the consumption of grain and grass will be faster, and there will be no grain and grass before the war."

"Hmph, when the war is over, it will be reported to His Majesty to punish Yuan Shao, the marshal can rest assured, the prince has long expected it, and the grain and grass in Youzhou will arrive tomorrow night. If the general is not bad as expected, Daqin will definitely send an attack in the near future, and the matter of Jizhou will not be hidden at all. "Meng Qinglou received an order from Zhao Zili before he came, and before the army came, he would transfer grain and grass to prevent Jizhou from hindering and affecting the battle situation.

I didn't say it beforehand for fear of causing misunderstanding, if Jizhou didn't send grain and grass on time, then everything would be as usual.

Sun Feng was relieved when he heard this, and said: "The prince is really clever, I don't know what plan the general has." ”

"The marshal can transfer half of the grain and grass in Yecheng to Yumen Pass to make a picture of the lack of grain and grass, and then let the 50,000 troops on the border reduce the amount of cooking smoke and confuse Daqin. I ambushed him with 100,000 Youzhou ghost horsemen in advance, and when the Qin army arrived, I was caught off guard and killed. Meng Qinglou's plan Sun Feng agreed very much, and the task of transporting grain and grass was handed over to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was secretly happy in his heart when he heard this, it seems that the plan has succeeded, as long as the grain and grass in Yumen Pass are insufficient, he will definitely take the initiative to start a war with Daqin, and Sun Feng will definitely be defeated if the people's hearts are weak.

When the time comes, he will go to the rescue, Yuan Tan's grain and grass will also arrive, Sun Feng's prestige is insufficient, and his father can take the opportunity to seize power.

Daqin's spies also saw this scene, and then probed the situation of the Great Zhou army at the forefront of the border, and sure enough, they found that the stove for cooking was reduced.

Immediately reported to Qin Shu.

"General, Yumen Pass is transferring grain from Yecheng, and the 50,000 forwards on the border of Ma Zhong have also reduced their stoves by one-third." Le Yang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "General, you are really a god, there is really a problem with Yumen Pass, the 500,000 army has reached 200,000, and the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Half-Demon Legion will also arrive soon." Why don't we fight a battle first and give Da Zhou a dismount. ”

"Okay, you personally lead the army, go to 100,000 people to call for battle, remember not to fall in love with war, the reinforcement speed of the ghost cavalry is very fast, it is enough to cripple Ma Zhong's 50,000 forwards." Qin Shu made a decision immediately, yes, he knew the speed of the Great Zhou reinforcements, even if he won this battle and eliminated the 50,000 people, it would not affect the situation of the battle.

It's better to be disabled to increase the burden of Da Zhou itself.

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Le Yang led an army of 100,000 border passes to Ma Zhong. However, Sun Feng suddenly ordered Yuan Shu to let him send grain and grass to the vanguard army, although Yuan Shu was not very willing, but the military fate was difficult to disobey, so he had to go to the vanguard barracks, and saw Ma Zhong come out to greet him, which made him feel a little more proud.

Ma Zhong, the vanguard general of Yumen Pass, commanded an army of 50,000 people, had a high prestige in the army, and was also one of Sun Feng's most trusted subordinates.

"General Yuan, you are finally here, my soldiers are going to starve, and now the combat strength is less than half." Ma Zhong vomited bitterness, and Yuan Shu hurriedly comforted: "General Ma has worked hard, you don't know, General Sun's headquarters is not starving, these are all things that the general will fight for you." Ma Zhong didn't understand anything in his heart, but for the sake of planning, he didn't have a seizure, and hurriedly said: "Hmph, Sun Feng is good-looking, I can't get used to him for a long time, and I hope that General Yuan will help him more in the future." "Yuan Shu is overjoyed, it's not easy to win over a border general with military power, Sun Feng, Sun Feng, you are cheap to me.

"Certainly" The two hooked shoulders and backs, looking like good brothers, and Ma Zhong immediately arranged for the soldiers to cook.

As soon as the meal was good, the gold-clothed cavalry ate well in advance, and Ma Zhongmei's name was Yuan Shu's hard work, which made him very moved, and he didn't start cooking until they finished eating Ma Zhong's troops.

But at this time, Leyang's 100,000 army arrived and called for battle three miles away. This caught Yuan Shu off guard, he shouldn't have brought too many people with him to transport grain and grass, but he liked to show off and directly brought 30,000 people.

"General Yuan, how is this good, my subordinates are still eating, and now they can't exert their combat effectiveness when they start a war." Ma Zhong looked embarrassed, and Yuan Shu could only fight with the Sky Rider for the sake of face at this time.
