Chapter 991: The One Who Killed You, King Jin of the Zhou Family!
Four hundred miles away from Youzhou, in the camp of the Anton army, the scout stretched out his voice and said a loud "report", which immediately made Liu Hongyuan get up from his seat and strode out of the camp tent, without waiting for the scout to salute, he couldn't help but shout "How is the battle situation", but when he heard that after more than ten days of testing, this time he ordered to send 100,000 troops to attack the Guangyang Department of the Zhou army, to meet the 30,000 cavalry still led by Qin Buyun's grandson Qin Ming, and after a little face-to-face, he retreated in the direction of Changshan, obviously unwilling to meet the main force of the Anton army head-on. Unlike the scout's happy face, Liu Hongyuan couldn't help frowning.
Although the Anton Army has a numerical advantage over the Wuwei Hou Army, and Wu Weihou originally intended to seize many states and counties east of Changshan, but had no intention of fighting hard with the Anton Army, but with such a negative response, is he not afraid that the Anton Army will chase and fight fiercely, and directly threaten Weize Pass after recapturing Changshan and other places?
Changshan and other places have gained and lost, and the good situation laid by Zhou Ting over the years has been lost, and Wuweihou, as the main general, will inevitably be held accountable by Zhou Ting, and according to Liu Hongyuan's understanding of Wuweihou, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but this time he is so afraid of war, it is obviously very strange.
He didn't hesitate more, only had a small meeting with a few of his subordinates, and decided to gather all 200,000 troops and advance to Changshan, who knew that Qin Ming still just took a look, and he actually abandoned Changshan and fled to Weize Pass like a lost dog, and in addition to Qin Ming's 30,000 horses, the remaining 100,000 troops of the Guangyang Department did not even see a single hair, and even Changshan and other prefectures and counties have become several empty cities, and the people don't know where to hide, there are no particles in the official warehouse, and even those empty houses, I couldn't find a few liters of corn.
Hit the count!!
It was only at this time that Liu Hongyuan came to his senses, and he immediately ordered the scouts in the army to rush to Juyong Pass.
More than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guangyang Department "disappeared", and even the garrisons in Changshan and other places have been withdrawn, of course, it is not because of fear of war that these cities have been handed over, it must have gathered troops to sneak attack Juyong Pass, but although Liu Hongyuan said that he was enlightened, thinking that none of the more than ten scouts he had arranged along the way came to report, he inevitably suspected that Wuweihou was in the old department, and led him to Youzhou to withdraw the army without wasting his efforts to take Baoding.
Liu Hongyuan was extremely glad that he had left 100,000 horses to garrison in Juyong Pass and Youzhou at this time, and he still firmly believed that the veteran Yao Zhongbai occupied the dangerous pass of Xiongguan, so that the Guangyang Department would not break through the pass so quickly, and he needed to know the specific situation of Juyong Pass and Youzhou at this time in order to reformulate a plan to defeat the enemy.
As long as Juyong Pass is not lost, he can completely divide the troops into two ways, 100,000 horses rushed to Juyong Pass and Yao Zhong's 100 troops to form an internal and external attack, and 100,000 horses attacked the weak defense of Weize Pass at this time, in this way, it is very likely to defeat the Guangyang Department, and Jinshuo will also be in the bag, and it may even be possible to surrender the Yunzhou Department, assault Henan Road, and the soldiers will approach Chang'an, the heart of Zhou Ting!
And what Liu Hongyuan never imagined was that at this moment, Yao Zhongbai had already been captured alive by "Qin Balang" because of his carelessness!
More than 100,000 main forces of the Guangyang Department were dispatched by He Ye, and they withdrew one after another, arriving outside Juyong Pass in batches, but they did not immediately launch a breakthrough, He Ye and Liu Yan and other vanguard generals, still only sent hundreds of men and horses, playing with the general attack and killing the Juyong Pass sentinels, and taking advantage of the night, the torch was inserted in the forest soil, creating the illusion of heavy siege, He Ye killed the floating sentry outside the city, shouting that he was going to attack the pass, and immediately withdrew before dawn, day after day This trick finally made Yao Zhong angry, and ordered the soldiers to send 5,000, When the vanguard army provoked again, they attacked and killed.
But these 5,000 people were killed by less than 2,000 men and horses in the vanguard army, and this kind of defeat made the veteran Yao Zhongbai even more intolerable, regardless of the dissuasion of the generals, he personally led 20,000 troops out of the customs to pursue, intending to capture Qin Balang, the major general of the vanguard army, and use his head to comfort thousands of Anton soldiers and heroes.
And until Yao Zhongbai was defeated and captured, seeing that there were more than 100,000 people and horses gathered outside the Juyong Pass in the Guangyang Department, and when he ordered a surprise attack when he, the main general, was damaged and there was a panic in the Juyong Pass, Yao Zhongbai of course also woke up to the fact that he had made the mistake of carelessly underestimating the enemy this time, but what he still couldn't understand was how the main force of the Guangyang Department was quietly concentrated outside the Juyong Pass!
Could it be that the scouts of more than ten of their own lurking arteries have been cleared by the Guangyang Department one by one, leaving no half of them alive?
His Royal Highness the King of Jin, whose face was covered with bronze, answered the doubts in Yao Zhongbai's heart: "Anton's more than ten scouts have been booby-trapped by my vanguard department. ”
Of course, it is extremely difficult to do this, and in order to make this military plan to turn back from the mountains a complete victory, it is of course essential to trap enemy scouts.
Fortunately, Wu Weihou is very familiar with the terrain and passes of Hebei Province, and the vanguard department is very actionable, He Ye's plan was not hastily formulated, of course, it has also been carefully deployed, and although the news of attacking and killing scouts from all walks of life is strictly prevented, He Ye is at least seventy percent sure, but Liu Hongyuan's caution still poses a threat to He Ye.
With 20,000 troops attacking Andong's 100,000 defenders, He Ye didn't even have a chance of winning, only a force far superior to Andong's defenders was expected to quickly take Juyong Pass and Youzhou, but once Wuweihou's troops withdrew, Qin Ming's 30,000 horses were of course impossible to fight against the 200,000 main force of Andong's army, and they could only avoid its troops, so that Liu Hongyuan would soon realize the plan.
He Ye must quickly take Juyong Pass and break 100,000 defenders, but even if the strength is nearly twice as strong as the opponent's, Juyong Pass occupies a key pass, if Yao Zhongbai is closed and defended, it is not easy for the Guangyang Department to break through immediately, so He Ye must lure the enemy out of the pass and kill Yao Zhongbai, the main general, first, in order to take advantage of the excellent opportunity for Anton's defenders to panic and defeat in one fell swoop.
Of course, this will be a great risk for the Guangyang Department, once it fails, fails to break through the Juyong Pass, and encounters Liu Hongyuan's main army behind it, the Guangyang Department may not be able to form an army!
Even if He Ye can escape with a life, he will probably have to take Eleven Niang to fall into the grass, not to mention the great cause of winning the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and even implicate Jing Zhaoliu, Jing Zhao Cui and other alliances to be cut down by Empress Dowager Wei, and the Jin Dynasty will be defeated.
Fortunately, He Ye's plan has been going smoothly until now, Yao Zhongbai led the 20,000 troops of course not the opponent of the 100,000 ambush soldiers, and he was killed in just two moments, and He Ye did not knock with Wuwei Hou at this time, he wanted to persuade Yao Zhongbai to surrender to Zhou, if Yao Zhongbai, the main general, would be the first to surrender, Andong would inevitably be even more chaotic, so that the Guangyang Department was expected to capture Youzhou without wasting its efforts, and casualties could almost be completely avoided.
However, of course, He Ye also thought that Yao Zhongbai would not be persuaded by him so easily.
Sure enough, despite his remorse, the veteran Yao Zhongbai was still unyielding, and his face was full of disdain for the proposal to descend to Zhou: "King Anton has the grace of knowing the old man, but the old man's father and brother were killed by the traitorous eunuch of the Zhou court, the old man's family was ruined, and the old man was filled with the army, if it were not for the king of Anton, the old man was afraid that the bones would be gone, the monarch of the Zhou court was not virtuous, the ministers were greedy, and the country would die sooner or later. ”
He Ye admired this loyal enemy general, but of course he would not let Yao Zhong live in a hundred ways with the kindness of a woman, and instead of treating this veteran as a prisoner to the imperial court, let him die on the battlefield and suffer less humiliation in order to be kind, He Ye took out his waist knife without saying a word, but signaled Liu Yan and asked him to stand a little far away with more than ten guards.
"The general did not die under the sword of the vanguard army Qin Hachiro." He Ye took a step forward and lifted the mask slightly, revealing his cold face: "He Ye, King of the Zhou Dynasty, send Old General Yao on the road." ”
With a sweep of the blade, blood splashed three feet, He Ye held Yao Zhongbai's body and gently lowered it to the ground, of course, the bronze had covered his face again, and a pair of cold but sharp eyes under the mask, looking at the night that was lit by firelight not far away, and the faint sound of fighting came from the north wind, of course he knew that this battle of life and death had officially begun.
"We must take Youzhou within ten days and annihilate the defenders." Liu Yan stepped forward and rode side by side with He Ye.
Although his tone was full of excitement, he was still a little nervous: "But if Liu Hongyuan doesn't fall for it, we can't ambush his 200,000 main force, and it will be difficult to avoid a head-to-head confrontation after all!" ”
"If you know that Youzhou has fallen, Yao Hongyuan should attack Weize Pass directly."
He Ye asserted.
"However, there are only less than 10,000 defenders left in Weize Pass, even if Qin Lang will be able to retreat with his whole body, 30,000 troops will resist Anton's 200,000 army...... Liu Yan suddenly became worried.
Even if he was able to capture Youzhou smoothly this time, if Liu Hongyuan, who learned that Youzhou had been lost, really decided to take advantage of the situation to enter and capture Weize Pass, he would definitely reserve military strength in Baoding to prevent the Guangyang army from pursuing and encircling and suppressing, and although the Guangyang Department had already taken Youzhou, of course, it would also prevent Liu Hongyuan from killing back the carbine, and it was impossible to immediately withdraw the army to rescue the danger of Weize Pass, but if Weize Pass was not guaranteed and Jinshuo fell, this war would certainly not be a complete victory, and it would definitely make the situation fall into a more chaotic situation.
"There's no point in thinking about it right now." He Ye said coldly: "The first thing we have to do is to take Youzhou!" ”
