After the final negotiation, Li Chun and Guo Rong reached a final agreement, repairing the plank road for the Ming Dynasty and changing the dark Chen Cang into the Ming plank road, and the two roads were surprised.

However, plans are easy to modify and common opinions are easy to reach, but it is not easy to prepare for the raid.

After the revised plan, the southern front, after crossing the river, the infantry of the forbidden army maintained the original rhythm, still steady and steady, and the speed of the march was greatly reduced.

Of course, this is also a helpless thing, because their horses and pack horses are almost empty, and without the support of these livestock, it is simply not realistic to speed up the march.

In fact, although Guo Rong adopted a relatively risky raid tactic, he still maintained Guo Rong's usual style in the preparation before the attack, and did not fight unprepared battles.

According to Guo Rong's ideas, the staff officers of the Changying Army reformulated the plan according to Guo Rong's idea of the distribution of the forbidden army in the north, coupled with the information given by Qing Xuzi.

Based on the Changying Army that crossed the river in Baima and the Shence Army that crossed the river in Yucheng, cavalry and elite infantry were drawn from the rest of the forbidden army and the local army, and professional auxiliaries were temporarily assigned to them, and two raid detachments of about 20,000 people were formed.

Each team includes two infantry regiments, an engineer regiment, and a cavalry regiment, in order to ensure that this team has sufficient mobility and strong endurance, Guo Rong forcibly transferred more than 100,000 war horses and pack horses from other parts of the forbidden army and the local army as the second line of the forbidden army.

So that the infantry of the assault detachment was equipped with two war horses and one pack horse for each of them, and two war horses and two pack horses for the cavalry.

In terms of planning, it is already perfect, but the assault part is equipped with luxury, and the price of relatively perfect planning is that it needs enough time to deploy and deploy.

Two days and two nights are already the shortest time after calculation and consideration, and Guo Rong has nothing to do about it, but in Guo Rong's opinion, this is not necessarily a good thing.

Because the time of launching the offensive on the battlefields of Hedong and Monan was the same as the time in the direction of Henan, it was the sixth day of the first month of November.

Two to three days is just right to shift the vision of Wang Chengzong and Liu Zong to the west and north.

The front was preparing for battle, and the rear was suddenly pressed against the key part with an iron rod, and I am afraid that no one felt comfortable with this feeling, especially when the iron rod was black, thick and hard.

Chengde and Lu Long's ability to maintain stability in the face of fiasco is not because Wang Chengzong and Liu Zong have any special functions, nor is it because they have any heavenly involvement, but purely under the guidance of Tian Ji'an, they are violently suppressed in the bloodiest, most violent, and most inhumane way.

When Lu Long and Cheng Dejun can still maintain coercion, they can barely maintain a certain degree of order and stability, but that kind of stability and order cannot be maintained, and it is essentially a powder keg that may explode at any time.

It only takes a spark to be ignited, and then, it seems that the temporarily stable rear of Lu Long and Cheng De's army is likely to enter a state of riot in an instant.

Sparks can have such an impact, not to mention tens of thousands of elite cavalry breaking in, if they don't want their rear to be directly overturned, Wang Chengzong and Liu Zong will inevitably transfer troops and horses from the front.

Starting from the west, to the transmission of the news to Yecheng, and then waiting until the direction of Yecheng to transfer troops, it is just the time that Guo Rong needs to prepare.

And the actual situation is almost exactly the same as Guo Rong's expectations. Also on the sixth day of November, the Hedong Army, which had been on the defensive since the beginning of the rebellion, suddenly sent troops.

A total of 60,000 Hedong troops in the direction of Taiyuan Prefecture, Daizhou, and Scarlet Prefecture were dispatched at the same time, and the troops were directly aimed at the most important towns in the west of Lulong and Chengde.

However, this army did not directly attack the administrative office of Zhenzhou, but forbade the army from the north of Zhenzhou to the east, and there was a tendency to continue to attack Dingzhou and Yizhou along Zhenzhou to the east.

Zhenzhou, which belongs to Chengde Town, plus Dingzhou and Yizhou, which were carved up after the Yiwu Army was just wiped out, plus Zhuozhou in the east of Dingde and Yi, just constitute the dividing line between Chengde and Lulong.

Advancing from Zhenzhou and attacking Dingzhou and Yizhou horizontally to the east, as long as those who know a little about the art of war, it can be seen that the purpose and function of this army is to cut off the dividing line between Lu Long and Chengde.

However, these 60,000 people did not hide their tracks, and all the way to the sky with gongs and drums, firecrackers and red flags, for fear that others would not know that they had sent troops.

As far as the eye can see, the flags are all over the sky, the crowds are crowded, and the Hedong Army, which is in its early 60,000s, has put on a posture of 160,000 after this series of operations.

The Hedong Army painstakingly created such a momentum, which naturally attracted the attention of the Chengde and Lu Long armies stationed in Zhenzhou, Yizhou, and Dingzhou at the first time.

The person in charge of staying in Zhenzhou was also a member of the Chengde army, An Qingkun's name was An Qingkun, a descendant of the Sogdians, who had been serving in the Chengde army after the Anshi Rebellion.

According to the news sent back by the scouts, An Qingkun, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately judged the other party's purpose: Ran discovered the opponent's large-scale attack, and the purpose was to directly cut off the connection between Lu Long and Chengde.

In the current situation where the imperial court dispatched a million troops to crusade, Lu Long and Chengde could only barely resist the overwhelming power of Mount Tai in the imperial court with the attitude of seeking survival in death.

If the connection between Lu Long and Chengde is severed at this time, let alone the connection, even if the connection is slightly weakened, the alliance between the two towns, which is already full of suspicion and intrigue, will be completely broken.

When that step comes, both sides will be greeted with complete death! For the occupation of the entire Hebei, An Qingkun, who guards Zhenzhou, is very clear.

Regarding the current situation in Zhenzhou, An Qingkun is also like a mirror. However, thinking about the power at hand, An Qingkun could only feel that he was powerless.

Strictly speaking, An Qingkun did not have a lot of troops at hand, Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, plus Dingzhou, which had just been won, Wang Chengzong left him a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses in the land of Sanzhou.

At first glance, 100,000 soldiers and horses are a lot, but in fact, these are all pits. Because Guo Rong's momentum in the direction of Henan was too huge, Wang Chengzong and Liu Zong had already transferred the elite stationed in the west to Yecheng and Jizhou in the south, and at this moment, those who remained in the western Zhen, Ding, Yi and other prefectures were all recruits with low combat effectiveness.

It is precisely because of the low combat effectiveness and the weak will to fight that the soldiers and horses composed of these forcibly recruited soldiers did not dare to fight in the field at all, and could only be stationed in the city.

Of course, Wang Chengzong is not a fool, and he never expected such a scumbag to resist the elite of the imperial court in the field.

After all, the difficulty and risk of defending the city and field warfare are far from the same level, and those who can fight in the field must be elite, but defending the city does not need to be so strict.

Wang Chengzong's idea was to let An Qingkun lead these five scumbags to defend the main cities of Zhenzhou, Dingzhou, and Zhaozhou in the west.

It's just that no matter Wang Chengzong, Mr. Liu or An Qingkun, they didn't expect to choose to go straight to seven inches.

For An Qingkun, in addition to the Hedong Army directly faced, the greater threat lies behind. As we all know, after the news of Wang Chengzong's defeat came back, the method of stabilizing the situation was to go crazy and bloody killings.

Many people, especially the wealthy families, chose to temporarily obey under the bloody massacre of Wang Chengzong and Liu Zong, but the guards knew that if they dared to arrange soldiers and horses outside the city, these poisonous snakes hidden in the shadows would definitely launch a rebellion in the city at the first time.

Neither able to stop nor intervene, and even dare not send troops out of the city. With such fanfare and such an arrogant death, An Qingkun wondered if there was a problem here, whether it was deliberately his own attention, and the plank road was darkly Chen Cang.

However, after thinking about it carefully, An Qingkun understood that it didn't matter if there was a problem, and it didn't matter if it was a dark plank road.

Because it doesn't matter whether there is a conspiracy behind the Hedong Army's attack, because the line of Zhenzhou-Dingzhou-Yizhou-Zhuozhou between Chengde and Lulong is the real seven inches of their own family.

Even if there are thousands of conspiracies behind the Hedong Army, as long as this Hedong Army cuts into the junction of Zhenzhou, Dingzhou, Yizhou, and Zhuozhou, everything will be tantamount to a complete collapse.

The other party's hand is a proper conspiracy! In desperation, the Chengde army Zhenzhou guard did not dare to have any stay, and sent messengers to Jizhou and Yecheng at the first time.

These messengers who were served by An Qingkun's cronies naturally knew that they had a heavy responsibility, and then these messengers almost never sleeped, and in the time of twelve hours in one day and one night, they forcibly marched six hundred miles, and arrived at Yecheng, which had been regarded as the core of defense by Liu Zong and Wang Chengzong, before noon the next day.

Hearing the news that the Hedong Army, which had been standing still, was marching eastward, Wang Chengzong and Liu Zong, who laughed at Tian Ji'an for being a fool and ridiculing Guo Rong's pedantic, were completely stunned.

Although Wang Chengzong and Mr. Liu are greedy and selfish, it doesn't mean that they are idiots, and they can naturally think of whatever An Qingkun can think of.

No matter what the real purpose of the Hedong Army that suddenly marched eastward, even if they went to pay homage to Shou, they must not be allowed to drive straight in.

Especially Wang Chengzong! Wang Chengzong believes that as long as there is any problem on Chengde's side, Mr. Liu will definitely give up Chengde as soon as possible and run away directly.

In the face of the million-strong army of the imperial court, he and Mr. Liu did not hesitate to use Tian Ji'an as a shield.

Now, Tian Ji'an's experience of the past is vivid. With almost no hesitation, or even a discussion with General Liu, Wang Chengzong immediately mobilized the few remaining elites of the Chengde army gathered near Yecheng in Jizhou.

Dingzhou is located in the northwest of Jizhou, Zhaozhou is located due west of Jizhou, and Zhenzhou is a vast area north of Zhaozhou and west of Dingzhou.

The 50,000 foot soldiers went straight to Dingzhou in the northwest direction, assisting in the defense of Dingzhou while trying to intercept this bold and flamboyant army and horses.

The other 50,000 elites will march directly in the direction of Zhaozhou, and after ensuring the safety of Zhaozhou, they will continue to attack from Zhaozhou to Zhenzhou to eliminate possible hidden dangers.

As for the soldiers and horses of Zhenzhou, Dingzhou, and Zhaozhouyuan, they continued to stick to the city according to An Qingkun's orders, monitored the wealthy families in various places, and never went out.

A full 100,000 of the elite of the German army, this is basically half of the strength in Wang Chengzong's hands, Rao is so, Wang Chengzong still feels not safe enough.

So, after mobilizing his own soldiers and horses, Wang Chengzong did not hesitate to ask Mr. Liu to send troops to support as well.

Regarding Wang Chengzong's performance, Mr. Liu advised Wang Chengzong not to worry too much, and the constant ridicule of Wang Chengzong in his heart was also a proper waste.

But if Wang Chengzong learns a little from himself and leaves tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses in Yizhou and Ulzhou, he will not be as busy as now.

Yan Shou in Hedong and Lu Congshi in Zhaoyi have more than 100,000 soldiers. Strictly guarding the pass, Lu Congshi did not move, although they had not really sent troops before, but who dared to guarantee that they would always be honest and immovable.

At least in Mr. Liu's view, when the victory or defeat is not scored, it is a pipe dream to let these wall grasses obey the orders of the imperial court and die for the imperial court.

However, now that the imperial court has won a great victory in Henan, it is enough to overwhelm the scales in the hearts of these wall-to-wall grasses.

After all, it is easy to put the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, how could Wang Chengzong be so naïve to think that they would always hold their troops and not move, and even transferred all the elites who stayed there before and replaced them with soldiers and horses with low combat effectiveness, what is the difference between this and looking for death.

When Wang Chengzong mobilized troops and horses, Mr. Liu didn't remind him, but Wang Chengzong still chose to transfer troops, and Wang Chengzong's reason was very simple, first of all, he had to be able to resist the attack of a million troops in front of the imperial court, otherwise, what was the point of leaving an elite defense on the flank?

This reason seems to be sufficient, but in my heart, I am extremely disdainful of Wang Chengzong's reaction, but the most worrying thing has happened, and it is useless to say that Wang Chengzong is a waste.

More importantly, Wang Chengzong did not prevent the attack of the Hedong and Zhaoyi armies, but Liu Zong reserved it.

After reaching an agreement with Wang Chengzong to use Yecheng as the defense center of the regional imperial court, Mr. Liu naturally mobilized a considerable number of soldiers and horses from Lulong to Yecheng to help Wang Chengzong strengthen the defense of Yecheng.

The other soldiers and horses were assigned by Mr. Liu to the western defense line of Lulong, such as Ulzhou and Yizhou, as well as the western direction of Liaodong and Liaoxi, in case of a possible surprise attack.

Originally, when there was no accident, Mr. Liu was still a little uneasy, but now he saw the battle report from Zhenzhou, and saw the meow meow that seemed to be lit, and began to jump wildly, but Mr. Liu was a lot more relieved.

Although he dislikes it, although he disdains, although he thinks that Wang Chengzong is a waste in his heart, Liu still understands the truth of his lips and teeth, at least Wang Chengzong is his only ally now.

Therefore, while not mobilizing the Lu Long army in the direction of Yecheng, Mr. Liu asked Yizhou and Ulzhou to integrate a force of about 50,000 soldiers and horses to go south to assist the Chengde army to eliminate hidden dangers.

Of course, there is a reason for Mr. Liu to behave like this, after all, it is also not far away, and there is no news from his side, from this point of view, Mr. Liu thinks that he is much stronger than Wang Chengzong.

However, what neither Mr. Liu nor Wang Chengzong expected was that in less than half a day, one team after another of messengers rushed to Yecheng.

The Hedong Army did not attack Lulong, and the Zhaoyi Army did not fall into the ground, but passed the defense line left by Liu Zong in Yizhou, and countless imperial cavalry broke into the hinterland of Lulong from the direction of the Fuzhou grassland north of Yizhou.

According to the judgment of the defenders in the direction of Yanzhou, the cavalry of the imperial court that broke through was at least more than 30,000, and one person with two or three horses was not only equipped with luxurious equipment, but also amazing in speed.

In just two days, the elite cavalry of the 30,000 imperial court had broken through to a range of nearly 100 miles in the hinterland of Lu Long.
