Chapter 244: Wind and Snow
To the west of Bohai County, smoke and dust covered the sun, and the Black Cloud Army marched noisily.
Black clouds and red flags stand in the wind and snow, and the drums and horns are endless.
Scouts and cavalry scattered, firing a barrage of military orders into the forts.
"Ask for the order of the governor of the eastern capital, all parts of the city should be guarded, and no unauthorized battles should be made, those who surrender to the Yan thieves will be wiped out!"
The arrival of the Black Cloud Army inspired the local forces of Bohai to resist the Yan Army, all the way eastward, and every time they arrived, there were heroes and strong people who led the people to meet each other, and there was quite a bit of the posture of eating pot pulp to welcome the king's division.
The Black Cloud Army did not commit any crimes in the autumn, sleeping in the wind and snow, and did not enter the castle.
The Kuhu people in the north have been brutal for a long time, and having a disciplined army of their own people to support them has undoubtedly given many people hope.
There are more and more supporters.
The reputation of the Black Cloud Army spread in the land of Hebei.
As for logistics, part of it came from the Cui family, and part of it was transported from the south bank of the Yellow River by Zhou Lian, and sufficient logistics was the guarantee of combat strength and morale.
For the Yan army, this battle was an expedition, and for the Black Cloud Army, it almost became an internal battle.
Although there are only four or five thousand people, they are quite elite, bringing their own swords, spears, bows, horses, grain and grass, and are familiar with the topography of the Bohai Sea.
Li Yue arranged them into a scout camp, crossed the floating water, and attacked the Yan army's grain route.
After a few days of marching, Kankan rushed to Gaocheng County.
As soon as the county commander saw the black cloud army's teeth, he didn't ask, opened the city gate directly, and let the black cloud army enter.
Jia's Fort is just north of Gaocheng, and it snows heavily, and Murong Ping's 20,000 troops were shocked by the momentum of the Black Cloud Army and did not dare to move.
The two sides are facing each other like this.
Bohai County was divided into two, except for a Nanpi in the north, which was still resisting, and the other cities either surrendered or were broken by the Yan army.
Two days later, Feng Yi's army came down from the northeast, joined forces with Murong Ping, and 50,000 or 60,000 horses rushed towards Gaocheng, but did not attack, but camped outside the city.
However, at this time, the land of Hebei was already drifting with goose feathers and heavy snow.
"The Yan army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable, and his subordinates are willing to lead an army to attack it!" Wei Shan endured the arrogance of the Yan army for a long time.
Chang Wei said: "Our army is here, based on the defense, to delay and wait for change, General Wei is brave, but this battle is not necessary." ”
Cui Hong said: "Murong commented on the battlefield generals, Feng Yi is insidious and cunning, and he must be guarded. ”
Li Yueran said that this battle can be held as long as it is held.
The Yan army couldn't even capture Jia's Fort, so how could it be possible to attack Gaocheng?
The snow soon stopped and the sun shone brightly.
The Yan army camp in the north lies quietly on the ice and snow, and there are constantly cavalry coming in and out.
The strength of a country can be glimpsed from its soldiers, the Yan army is tall and big, the cavalry on horseback is quite majestic, and the silver-white armor shines in the winter sun.
Although there were many cavalry coming and going, there was no panic in the slightest.
Occasionally, a few Yan generals led more than 100 horses to the high city, and the dragon and tiger leaped, coming and going like the wind.
"Murong Ping and Feng Yi both have the talent of generals." Li Yue had to sigh that Yan Guo was at its peak.
In contrast, the Black Cloud Army is still in the growth period.
This is just Murong Ping and Feng Yi, and I don't know what kind of demeanor Murong Ke and Murong Chui are.
"Dudu, Murong Jun led 50,000 steps to ride out of Zhangwu County, and went south straight to our army!" Zhang Shengye said softly behind his back.
Murong Jun's army of 50,000, plus the tens of thousands of horses in front of him, the Black Cloud Army will face a Yan army of nearly 100,000.
This is the essence of Yan Kingdom.
Not counting Murong Chui of Lukou and Murong Ke of Zhongshan.
"Lord Yan Murong Jun personally went south, but I am afraid that the situation in the Bohai Sea will change." A hint of worry appeared in Chang Wei's eyes.
"Deng Huan was able to block 200,000 Yan troops in Lukou, and Murong Jun had 100,000 horses, so why be afraid!" Li Yue said in a deep voice.
Fighting a war is not a dinner party, a group of harmony, if you want to easily force back the Yan army at the peak, it will definitely not be so simple.
Cui Hong, who was on the side, said: "What the governor said is very true, Murong Jun's army is going south, and the battle line is lengthened, which is more beneficial to our army!" ”
"The Xiao Cavalry Battalion and Heiyunlang all went out of the city, infiltrated into the two counties of Hejian and Zhangwu in the north, and attacked the enemy's grain road!" Li Yue immediately ordered.
Nearly thirty percent of the Yan army was cavalry, and a war horse consumed five times as much food as a man.
100,000 troops, 30,000 cavalry, 50,000 or 60,000 war horses, grain and grass every day is not a small amount.
The 200,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom going south this time must have water, but there are still 100,000 horses.
"Command!" Mi Jin, Qin Biao, Gao Yun and others were overjoyed.
Three or four days later, the smoke and dust in the north avoided the sky, and the big banner of the word "Yan" stood in the cold wind, and countless cavalry and foot soldiers rolled in, boundless.
Li Yue glanced at the people around him, he was accustomed to this scene and was not afraid.
If the courage is there, the morale is there.
After the Yan army entered the camp, the two sides were still quiet, neither launched a siege, nor did anyone come to show off their might.
However, an ominous premonition gradually rose in Li Yue's heart.
Murong Jun, the lord of Yan, personally raised troops to the south, and he definitely didn't come for sightseeing.
Sure enough, the news brought back by the scout cast a shadow over Gao Cheng.
Murong Ke's attack on Zhongshan was unfavorable, leaving his subordinate general Murong Biao to attack Zhongshan, leading his troops to attack Changshan, and capturing the Wei general Gao Kai who came to support.
And Gao Kai also surrendered Murong Ke!
This news had a huge impact on Ran Wei and the Black Cloud Army.
Gao Kai is a beggar general, and he is close to Dong Yan, Zhang Wen and others, and he surrendered to Murong Ke, which means that part of Guangzong's beggar army also surrendered to Murong ......
The impact of this battle did not stop there, Duan Qin and Ding Ling Zhai Rat of the Duan clan Xianbei all surrendered to Murong Jun.
The disaster is not a one-way street, and Liu Zhun, the assassin of Youzhou in Nanpi, also surrendered to the Murong clan under the persuasion of Feng Yi and Feng Fang.
These people were able to belong to Ran Min at the beginning, and now they can naturally return to Murong Jun.
The Yan Army's momentum was greatly enhanced, and the pressure on the Black Cloud Army increased dramatically.
"Gao Kai surrenders, then Gao Yun may also surrender to the Murong clan!" Chang Wei reminded.
Li Yue has high hopes for Gao Yun, and the real and secret secrets in the army are all in his hands, if he surrenders to Murong Jun, the Black Cloud Army will be in danger.
Murong Ke deserves to be Murong Ke.
A small local war changed the situation in Jizhou.
But what is even more terrifying is still to come, Youzhou came to report that Deng Huan died of illness at this critical time......
Li Yue understood what it meant to be favored by the heavens, and the Murong family was simply blessed.
After Shi Hu's death, this Hebei has long become a sieve, leaking air everywhere.
I don't know when, a light snow drifted over Gaocheng and swept across the land of Hebei.
"Quickly go to the order, all Heiyunlang return to the city!" After getting along for more than half a year, Li Yue has already established a relationship with Hei Yunlang, and he doesn't believe that Gao Yun will defect at this time.
But sometimes human nature has to be guarded against.
The guards took the order, and then dozens of horsemen galloped out of the city.
At this moment, a rousing trumpet sounded in the north, as if it was about to shake the heavens and the earth.
Ha, ha, ha......
The shouts of the Yan army were heard in the wind and snow, and then the earth began to shake, and tens of thousands of Yan troops came straight to Gaocheng.
