Jiang Wei's detour sneak attack was finally noticed by Chen Tai in advance.

There's no way, the children of the Yingchuan Chen clan are fighting in Yingchuan, and they are still fighting to "defend their hometown", and it is too normal to have such an intelligence bonus.

At this time, in fact, Jiang Wei had already led the army to Linying County, which was only less than a hundred miles away from Yingyin.

However, Jiang Wei had a slight disagreement with Wen Qin on the issue of whether to attack Linying County.

Along the way, Jiang Wei set out from Kunyang, Lianke Wuyang, and the two cities of Yunxian did not encounter much resistance, and the defenders in these two cities never exceeded 500 people...... This way of attacking, almost all the way to the push.

Therefore, Jiang Wei believed that Chen Tai should have exhausted the defensive forces of most of the county towns in Yingchuan County in order to attack Xiangcheng.

And when he arrived in Linying County, Jiang Wei also wanted to repeat his old tricks and capture this Linying County.

There are two reasons: one is that the geographical location of Linying County is very important, its northwest direction, after Yingshui is Yingyang, its due north direction is less than 100 miles is Yingyin, and its northeast direction is Yingchuan town Xuchang.

If such a transportation point is in your own hands, then no matter which direction you attack in the future, you can do it with ease.

And another reason is...... After a long journey, the military rations of the Southern Army were about to run out.

And Soochow suddenly occupied the cities that originally belonged to Cao Wei in Runan County, Chen State, and Qian County one after another...... What did he make the Xiao Wei court think?!

Although in the middle of that, Jiang Wei once persuaded Wang Ping that we are now taking a detour to sneak attack, and the most important thing is not speed...... With the current military rations, to support Yingyin City, the problem should be very small.

Duan Zhi was one step behind, and there was a small army that could block Wen Qin, and the frontal battlefield was ...... In fact, Chen Tai and Duan Zhi really tried their best.

But who would have thought that Wen Qin got the news two days earlier than originally expected, and then slowly returned to the army all the way, and it only took eight days to withdraw from Xiangcheng to Ruyin County, which was a day less than the regular march.

Who would have thought that Duan Zhi would withdraw when he said that he would withdraw, and he would withdraw so slowly.

It can also be said that the Wei army is delaying the fighters, but the Wei army also thought that the development and change of the war were so slow.

At that time, when formulating a strategy, Wei Jun told Wang Ping that it was bad and that he would set off for Xiangcheng half a month later than Wang Ping...... In order to startle the snake.

But the distance of eighty years, even if there is a flying army, it is quite difficult to chase.

Well, it's just to think that these guys who don't get cheap will definitely take over those empty cities politely.

However, Wang Ping asked Duan Zhi a question - what should I do if Yingyin is not defended by Duan Zhi's soldiers? !

didn't say a thing, the Wei army really wanted to offend Wang Ping, after all, Wang Ping was the central protector army and controlled the command of the southern army...... Just by looking at those two positions, he could understand that Wang Ping was a proper royal person and represented the interests of the Son of Heaven.

So...... What should I do if I pick it up?!

Therefore, Wang Ping would rather delay a little time, first conquer Linying, and before obtaining a certain amount of supplies, and then retreat north to attack Yingyin.

Wei Jun really understood Wang Ping's strategy, but Wang Ping still insisted, there was no suitable reason.

Eight days ago, before the eight armies converged in Yingyin County, they could only sigh one thing when they compared the situation they had mastered—did that Wen Qin belong to a rabbit, running so slowly?!

For the sake of insurance, Wang Ping believed that it was very unnecessary to occupy the city of Linying and obtain the food and grass supplies in the city.

At that time, it was Wang Ping who stood up again, and I proposed a strategy - Wei Jun and others led troops to besiege Xuchang and contain Wenqin in Xuchang, while Jiang Wei and I, each with 7,000 southern troops, divided into two routes, entered Yanzhou from the north of Runan, and retreated to attack Chen State and Qian County.

Wang Ping's reason is so legitimate, so legitimate that Jiang Wei has no room for refutation...... However, Duan Zhi spent seven days retreating from Linying.

It is enough to besiege Xuchang, but to break through Xuchang and enter Yanzhou, I am afraid it is still too realistic.

After nearly half a month's long-distance attack, even after two large-scale replenishments in Wuyang County and Yun County, the military rations of the Southern Army slowly bottomed out, and the support went up.

Although Duan Zhi insisted on attacking Linying and then retreating north to attack Yingyin, delaying a little time, it did take me only seventeen days to make a detour from Kunyang and kill Yingyin.

And the scattered soldiers, what they will do with a small probability, are divided into disasters...... That is very common on the Wei thief's side, but it is absolutely allowed on the side of Xiaohan, especially Ji Han.

As soon as Wei Jun heard this, Wang Ping came up with the kind of bad idea of going deep alone, and he suddenly didn't bother with his teeth.

Even if the main force of the Yanzhou County soldiers is indeed besieging Luoyang now, and the defense of Yanzhou is divided, no matter what, he can be regarded as going deep into the hinterland of the enemy army.

Again, if he leads his troops to retreat to Chen Liu, and dig out Sima Yi's future, what do you say...... Chen Guo and Qian Jun?! Those two places have no strategic value worth attacking him?!

It should be Guan Linying, continue to retreat slowly.

A city guarded by 400 men is of course possible to defend in the face of a retreat of 10,000 elite soldiers...... But it can still be done for a few days.

But here's the problem...... That big boy can learn to use bad soldiers, do you have to engage in that kind of strange strategy where interests and risks coexist?!

Once the Wei army retreats to Xiangcheng with 20,000 small troops, Wen Qin will inevitably choose to march and may stay in Xiangcheng for a long time.

But if you do that, the supply line along the way is too long, and there is no way to send troops in that way in terms of whether or not Xuchang is captured and Yingchuan County is based on Yingchuan County.

Between Wei and Wu, although there is no covenant, there is no trust between us?!

There is a way, Linying is a medium-sized city in the end, and the defenders in the city are not 400 people...... The most important thing is that the county order of Linying County chose to defend the city to the death, but like the county order of Wuyang County and Yun County, Kaicheng surrendered.

But no matter what, a period of encirclement and interception has done all the useful work, Wen Qin followed more than 11,000 people back to Xuchang, plus the 4,000 soldiers who stayed in Xuchang, and now Xuchang still has no 27,000 soldiers to guard.

When Wu Yi sent the Youdang Fei Army scouts to find out that Wen Qin was arranging the withdrawal of the army, did he have any firmness, and Chen Tai continued to hold on to Xiangcheng, while Wu Yi immediately followed the Youdang Fei Army to attack, striving to catch up with Zhang Wei and slow down Wen Qin's withdrawal.

The so-called elite soldiers of that year, if they ate a meal, they should be scattered.

Linying County resisted Wang Ping's small army for seven days, instead of those seven days, allowing Wen Qin to follow the small army of Yingchuan County's soldiers and withdraw to Xuchang City.

And the northern part of Runan, the state of Chen, and the county of Qiao, where Wang Ping wanted to retreat, were all areas that did not border Cao Wei and Eastern Wu.

However, if the Wei army wants to break through Xuchang, it is probably a reality to rely only on the little troops at hand.

At this time, Duan Zhi and 20,000 soldiers from Hanzhong County ...... is still on the way to Xiangcheng.

Indeed, the most direct way to threaten Sima Yi's future and completely disrupt Zhang Wei's siege of Yanzhou, the front supply base of Luoyang, is not to retreat to Chenliu County, but to retreat north along Chenliu County into the east of Henan County, or even directly retreat to Dongjun or Taishan County in Yanzhou.

That time, the goods came again?!

Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's personal disciple, how can he use the style of soldiers to take the road of Pang Shiyuan? !

Once Zhang Wei crosses the Yingshui, it is not possible to pursue it again.

Just like that, although Wu Yi tried his best to catch up, in fact, he didn't even delay Duan Zhi for half a day.

The total strength of the Southern Army was less than 10,000.

In other words, even if Wang Ping is fighting Linying, I am actually blocking Wen Qin...... At least two people are just taking a picture in Yingyin County, as long as Yingyin County is still outside Zhang Wei's hands, Wen Qin will retreat freely, but the southern army followed by Wang Ping will face the threat of running out of food.

This is the real heavy retreat.

In terms of compartmentalization, what Duan Zhi has to do is not to muddy the water.

The next time the eldest son made a detour and attacked with one hand, Wei Jun felt that it was not feasible, so he refused...... As a result, except for the laborers, everything has not been blocked.

As for the 8,000 soldiers under Guo Huai's department, some of them kept a small half of the flying army, but some of them were able to keep Guo Huai..... Guo Huai found a big ship, and the ability to abandon the army and leave still didn't exist.

It's all about less, as long as there are not 8,000 people, can we really conquer it in a short time?!

Don't forget, the southern army has been running for half a month in long distances, and it has long been tired, and its combat strength has dropped slightly, so there must be a way to conquer Yingyin in a short period of time, and it will be dragged to the point where the small army may run out of food...... At this time, not to mention our southern army, he didn't let the northern army come, and he was also about to break out a mutiny, and then the small army broke up.

And half a month is the time that Wang Ping predicted that he would take a detour to plagiarize Duan Zhizhi.

But in that battle, Wang Ping also had a good time.

Although the first Dangfei army relied on the leg strength exercised by climbing the mountain all year round, and chased down Yingchuan Zhang Wei who was crossing the river by Yingshui, but Guo Huai was divided into 8,000 soldiers to block and delay for a while, so that a small part of Yingchuan Zhang Wei crossed Yingshui safely.

In case there is no bad one, the 10,000 Southern Army can come back a lot, but it's bad.

On the Han army's side, Chen Tai's 7,000 men, Wu Yi's 10,000 men, plus the Wei army, reached 80,000 soldiers and horses...... In total, there were no 77,000 soldiers.

Heavy troops suddenly retreated to attack Chen Guo and Qian County?!

Once Wang Ping broke into those areas, he only took the treasury's property, grain and grass before attacking the city, and left the soldiers to station, and slipped away after the battle...... What will this Dongwu react to when he sees a defended city?!

Wuyang County and Yun County are not big county seats, and while there are not many defenders in the city, there is no shortage of grain.

As long as Xuchang is taken, the Wei army will dare to give up Xuchang, and the whole army will rush into Chenliu County...... The forward supply line is stuck.
