On the night of the fifth of July.

Outside Zhenbei Pass, the first battle between the First Army of Zhenbei and the Army of the Middle Road of the Law came to an end with the retreat of the Law Army.

In the battle, the first army in the north of the town killed more than 3,400 light cavalry of the legal army, killed more than 1,000 foot soldiers in front of the battle, and the rest of the battle, killed the light cavalry, crossbowmen, and foot soldiers of the legal army, totaling more than 1,700 people, trapped and killed 900 heavy infantry soldiers of the legal army, and more than 700 light cavalry galloping to help, a total of 8,000 enemies.

The first army in the north of Zhenbei lost 318 swordsmen and shields, 273 jumping soldiers, 422 crossbowmen, 231 odd soldiers, 455 horse troops, 62 pro-soldier battalions, and more than 1,000 people, totaling more than 2,800 people.

In terms of numbers alone, the battle losses of the legal army were nearly three times that of the first army in Zhenbei.

In fact, the forward army of the legal army lost about 30% of its troops, and the 1st army in Zhenbei also lost 17,800 people, not counting the more than 5,000 people added in the follow-up, which was also about 20% of the battle losses, and there was not much difference between the two.

But after all, the legal army was only a forward army, not even a fraction of the 250,000 army, and the first army in Zhenbei was only less than one-tenth of its strength.

If you don't count the light cavalry of the law army who were killed, the battle loss ratio is even greater than that of the law army.

Therefore, the relieved Chi Yan Gu Liuru did not take the disadvantage of the first battle too seriously.

And not only did he not punish the defeated Leliao Festival, but once again praised his loyalty and courage in public, especially in the end, he personally led the light cavalry to rescue the backward and entangled heavy armored foot soldiers, and killed two percent of the people in Daqin's battle, and successfully broke the matter, bringing out more than half of the heavy armored foot soldiers, which was also praised by Chi Yan Gu Liuru.

Although there is no reward, there is no harsh rebuke.

In this way, it is not that Chi Yan Gu Liuru really attaches great importance to the Leliao Festival, but takes the Leliao Festival as an example to show his kindness and importance to those who dare to fight.

In this southern attack, the Law Dynasty was actually still dominated by the Eastern Route Army, Chi Yan Gu Mo Ying, and even the Middle Route Army of Chi Yan Gu Liuru was second.

In Chi Yan Gu's East Route Army, there are all young generals who scolded Fang Xuan, and they are all from all over the west of the self-discipline, and most of them are the descendants and cronies of Chi Yan's Gu family.

They are more daring to fight, and their thoughts are not so redundant, and there is also a generation of new people who replace the old people, overthrow the Zhenbei Army, and achieve the spirit of the prosperous Dynasty.

In addition, they were still facing the weaker and more chaotic Third Army in Zhenbei.

In the eyes of the legal dynasty, this is the reason why the upper horse is the lower horse, how can it be invincible?

The Luzhong Route Army, although they are all veterans and experienced, is mixed in composition and forms its own army, and it is difficult to completely integrate together.

And the more successful the people, the less the momentum to dare to fight and kill, which is also reflected in these veterans.

Coupled with the fact that he is facing Meng Wei, the god of war in the north, none of these veterans are willing to be the first to hunt the tiger's beard.

It's not that these people are really afraid, thinking that Menglian is invincible, on the contrary, in the eyes of most of the generals of the legal army, the victory of this southern attack is very large.

It's just that everyone wants to use this battle as a step to advance, and with the new emperor ascending the throne, with this great achievement, go further, instead of draining their troops in the battle first, or even dying here.

Is it that except for Jin Ye Ming and Chi Yan Gu Qi Heng, no one can see the faint displeasure of Chi Yan Gu Liuru.

Just because they want to stand on the Zhenbei Pass alive and enjoy the myth of defeating Menghua, the undefeated god of war in the north, and the monstrous achievement of breaking through the fortified city that has not been built for decades.

In fact, Chiyan Gu Liuru also knew this, so he didn't plan to storm Zhenbei Pass from the beginning, but wanted to grind and drag, wait for Yanbei Pass to win, or wait for the Zhenbei Army to be dragged down and encroached.

But many times, things are like this, although he understands that he should be unhappy and still unhappy, he still wants someone to dare to stand up and understand something, instead of waiting for his will to arrange scheduling, and he is unwilling, and then hides his mind in the war, does not play hard, and collapses the good situation.

Especially after hearing the specific situation of the confrontation between the two armies, Chi Yan Gu Liuru, the desire in his heart to personally break through Daqin, a fortified city in the north, also became stronger.

The generals gathered in the king's tent, and after listening to the report of the Leliao Festival, Chi Yan Gu Liuru also said: "Although the losses of my children in this battle are not small, it can also be regarded as finding out some of the reality of the Zhenbei Army. Even if Meng Wei is in person, with the current status quo of the Zhenbei Army, it will definitely not be the opponent of our army. I intend that from tomorrow, all the armies will take turns to go into battle and storm the four cities in the north of the town, what do you think. ”

Chun Yuhan first muttered: "Your Majesty, your subordinates think that the number of the Zhenbei army will not really be inferior to our army too much, in terms of defending the city, if the four cities of Zhenbei are attacked, our army's battle losses will far exceed today's battle, especially its new stone cannon, the shooting power is very huge, and our army's siege equipment may be difficult to successfully advance too much." ”

His thoughts are not the same as those of his younger brother and His Majesty today.

First of all, the current strength of the Qin army in the four cities north of the town, after the more than 5,000 people bravely fought out of the town, he no longer felt that he would really be too weak than them.

It is true that the combat effectiveness of these more than 5,000 people is not enough to compare with the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army and the soldiers of their Great Law.

But when defending the city, as long as it is properly arranged, their number can also play a great role.

And with only five thousand, he wouldn't be naïve enough to think it was all.

On the contrary, in just one town and city, there are more than 5,000 people who can be sent out as light horses, and in his heart, he is afraid that such people will not be less than ten times the number of people who appear, and it is the least estimated.

In the northern border of Daqin, especially in the area of Beijiang Prefecture, the prestige and appeal of the general of Zhenbei are no less than those of Prince Ning, and even surpassed.

He firmly believes in this.

What's more, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, who are stronger than the people's bravery, at least have occasional drills, and are familiar with the battle formation of the Zhenbei Army, such as the stragglers of the various armies, were not sent to participate in the battle in this battle, which is enough to prove that Meng Wei still has a knife in his hand, and it is not really fully revealed.

Secondly, on this basis, with the range shown by the new stone artillery of the Zhenbei Army, it will be difficult for their siege equipment to advance to the city, losing the cover and efficacy of the siege equipment, and really taking human lives to pile up, he is worried that it will not take too long, their troops will be damaged too much, but they will fall into a disadvantage, and they will be found by Meng Lian to break the camp and turn the tide of the battle.

Chi Yan Gu Liuru is not a person who is stubborn and self-serving, especially for this neck-cutting friend, he trusts and understands.

At the moment, he also signaled him to tell what he thought in detail and let the generals discuss it.

Without waiting for others to come out, Jin Yeming got up first, and said in courtesy: "There is another point, there are only 1,000 horses in the northern army of this battle town, and it should only be the number of its army, which does not match its military system, but there is an extra battalion of sword and shield hands, which should be adjusted." ”

There were more than 1,000 horse troops in the first army in Zhenbei, and 500 horse troops in the Zuoyu Marquis army, only the former appeared, and the latter did not appear, which was actually not a big deal, and even Leliaojie, who personally led the troops to fight, did not care.

However, Jin Yeming had a thorough understanding of the situation of the various arms of the Northern Army in this battle, including many details of the battle at that time, and he was particularly concerned about this matter.

He was not worried that these 500 horse troops would become sword and shield bearers, or replace them with other armies, but that he was afraid that Meng Lian would train more new troops who were not in the military system, and he was also worried about the whereabouts of these horse troops who did not appear.

Trapping the pit is just a trick, terrible but not commonly used, preparing for trouble is one thing, they know that they can go to the future to investigate carefully, avoid it and then attack, it is also one thing.

But the myth of Meng's invincibility for so many years is not all based on this kind of time-consuming and laborious tricks.

Meng Wei is good at odd and positive matching, and he is also famous, coupled with Meng Wei's unreasonable way to go out of the city to face the battle, he thinks that Meng Wei is likely to use this battle to play tricks, show the enemy weakness, mislead them in judging the strength of the Zhenbei Army, and give them a ruthless cold.

Chi Yan Gu Liuru listened to the words of the two leaders of civil and military affairs, and his face sank, and he thought about it seriously.

Below, the generals also talked and discussed in a low voice with their colleagues on the left.

The light of the people, the shadow of the tree, even if Meng Wei is already old, no one dares to despise the power of this twilight tiger.

A moment later, Chi Yan Guliu was about to give an order, and two days later, he would set up an array and feint to test the reality of the Zhenbei army.

A general of the forbidden army of the Law Dynasty quickly stepped into the tent, bowed to Chi Yan Gu Liuru in front of him, and reported to Su Seyu: "Your Majesty, the scouts on both sides have sent back the news, a hundred miles away, our army is outside the light cavalry, all encounter a strong enemy, the Zhenbei army has two thousand elite cavalry gathered, has broken out several of our army's light cavalry, our army has suffered heavy losses, the rest of the troops are defeated and retreated to the north, are converging in one place, ready to counterattack. ”

Chi Yan Gu Liuru's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Jin Ye Ming.

Before the two could speak, the ground trembled slightly, and the rapid sound of drums and gongs sounded from the north of the camp of the army, and the army behind the law was noisy.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Enemy Attack !!"

The generals in the camp got up suddenly, looked at Chi Yan Gu Liuru, and asked for battle one after another, waiting for the emperor's permission and dispatch.

At this time, Chi Yan Guliu calmed down, revealing the demeanor of a male master, and Lang smiled:

"It's a godsend! Today, in order to contain and divert our attention, he broke my scouts with surprise soldiers and covered the wolf cavalry to gather and attack the camp. ”

Today, from the beginning of the war, their minds were attracted by the frontal veil, and no one noticed it for a while, and the light cavalry scouts scattered outside had not received much news throughout the day, and the news of a wolf horse led by Xiang An, who had returned from time to time in the past, had not appeared for a day.

At the moment, I still don't understand the intention of Meng Lian to go out of the city to face the opposition.

Instead, his expression became colder, and he said again: "But he also underestimates my Great Law Warrior too much!" Chun Yu Han, gather heavy horses, and ride the wolf to destroy tonight! ”

"Whoa!" Chun Yuhan didn't say a word, and strode away from the account.

"Bolu, go back to your headquarters, intersperse the rear army on the flanks, stabilize the rear army's position, and block the wolf riding back road."

Chi Yan Gu Liuru points again.

The second largest general of the legal army after Chun Yuhan, led the order to paced out and returned quickly.

"Qi Qi, Bu Yuan, Chi Qian Pupu, ......, lead the two wings to block the front, blocking the wolf riding left and right!"

It is the law of ten numbers that will be sent out by the generals, and their subordinates are all around the Chinese army, and after returning to the camp to reorganize the troops, they can cooperate with Chun Yuhan to encircle and annihilate the night attack wolf cavalry.

"The rest of the generals, led by King Daqin and King Changding, one guards the front camp to prevent most of the Zhenbei Army from responding and raiding, and the other is settling the armies to quell the chaos in the camp."

As the last will is issued, the crowd will be assigned to Jin Yeming and Chiyan Bone Qiheng, each doing their own thing.

Just as all the generals were about to leave their tents and return, a legal soldier rushed to report the news.
