Chapter 285: Fang Head
Ran Wei's elite was destroyed, Ran Min was captured, and Hebei was shaken.
Ran Wei Situ Liu Mao, Tejin Lang Min, and Shangshu Wang Jian were martyred.
Julu guarded Sun Hei too much, Jianxing guarded Gao Weng too much, Hanoi guarded Wang Hui too much, Xindu guarded Han Gao too much, Xiangguo guarded Gao Zhu, etc., all surrendered to Murong Ke.
Most of Jizhou was reduced to swallow soil.
There is only one Changshan County left around Yedu.
As soon as Li Yue's army arrived in Shanyang County, he received the news that Hebei's troops were defeated.
"Where is Yan Jun now?" The situation is slightly not good, Murong Ke has become a sweep, and he may take Yecheng at any time.
Zhang Shengye said: "Murong Ke escorted the Lord of Wei to Jicheng, and led an army of 60,000 to the south to attack my Fangtou, in addition, Murong Ke led an army of 50,000 to attack Lukou. ”
The bad news is that Murong Kechong is coming by himself.
The good news is that Yecheng has not surrendered for the time being.
Fortunately, he withstood the pressure at the beginning and did not give up his head to Ran Min, otherwise Li Yue would not have to go north now.
However, it is Wei Shan who guards the head of Fangtou, although he is a veteran of a hundred battles and a veteran of the Black Cloud Army, but in the face of Murong Ke, Li Yue has always had no bottom in his heart, and it can be seen from Murong Ke's destruction of Ran Min that he is full of scheming, and even the horses have come out.
"The whole army is speeding up!" Li Yue urged the soldiers.
Murong Ke is best at dealing with people with a character like Wei Shan.
The loss of Fangtou will not only make Li Yue lose Yecheng, but also become a bridgehead and fortress for the Murong clan to suppress Yanzhou.
The Black Cloud Army galloped to the north, and many war horses died of exhaustion, but Li Yue did not have the slightest regret.
Now it is this tone that is fighting, no matter how beautiful it is in the south, it will not help, and what really affects the general trend of the world is still in Hebei.
The soldiers were also exhausted, but with the encouragement of the Black Cloud General, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
When he arrived in Dongjun, Chang Wei couldn't afford to be ill, and Li Yue had to send him back to Chenliu to recuperate.
Li Yue knew that the soldiers had reached their limit, and if they went up in this state, they were afraid that they would also serve food to Murong Ke.
Then he ordered the soldiers to enter Yuncheng for a short rest.
Liu Qi, the assassin of Yanzhou, had already received the news, and prepared wine and meat, new clothes, ordnance, medicine, and intensive feeding in advance.
As soon as the soldiers entered the city, they devoured them, and many of them fell asleep while eating, drinking, and drinking.
Even Li Yue himself slept for a whole day before he felt his energy regained.
As soon as his eyes opened, he asked how the battle was going.
Li Yue can sleep, but Zhang Shengye can't, his eyes are bloodshot, and his voice is extremely hoarse, "Defeated...... ......"
"What?" Li Yue was shocked.
Wei Shan was defeated so quickly? There are thousands of the main force of the Black Cloud Army in Fangtou, as well as 10,000 Southern Army and Yanzhou Army, the city is strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, I didn't expect to be defeated so quickly.
Zhang Shengye licked his lips, "General Wei took advantage of Murong Ke's unstable foothold and led three thousand Black Cloud troops to attack the camp, but unexpectedly Murong Ke had already prepared, General Wei was deeply encircled, but the Yan army was also tired, and the soldiers of our army fought bravely, killed through the encirclement, and returned to Fangtou, no, but lost more than 1,700 soldiers......"
The more he spoke, the quieter it became.
Li Yue's heart ached, it was not easy to cultivate an elite, and Wei Shan went to 1,700 people as soon as he made a move, which can be called the biggest loss in these years.
"How's the fang?"
"Murong Ke persuaded him to surrender, but General Wei did not obey, and repelled the Yan army's three fierce attacks, and his head was as steady as a rock."
Li Yue relaxed a little, he was able to kill from Murong Ke's hands, Wei Shan is not a fierce general, with the strength of his fangtou, as long as Wei Shan does not go out of the city to die, Murong Ke will not be able to break this fortress no matter what.
Now that the fang head is stable, Li Yue is not in a hurry.
Sent fast cavalry to the north, and ordered Wei Shan to hold out, not to fight, and wait for the army to go north to support.
The sturdiness of the fangtou is better than that of Lukou, and it is surrounded by rivers, and Murong Ke's cavalry cannot give full play to its advantages.
Li Yue carefully figured out the situation in Hebei.
Fangtou is as solid as a rock, and Murong Ke's tens of thousands of troops are also tired, although their morale is like a rainbow, but without siege equipment, it is impossible to break through Fangtou.
With Murong Ke's intelligence, he will not use human lives to fill his head.
And Yecheng is stronger than Fangtou, Shi Hu has been in business for decades, and Murong Ke has no chance.
After thinking about it, his only shortcoming in Hebei is Liyang.
However, Liyang has Cao Kan stationed in Liyang, and his personality is calm, Liyang is on top of Dongjun's head, Li Yue's army can support at any time, and Murong Ke has little chance.
Hebei's surrender has basically surrendered, and the rest are some hard bones.
Li Yue simply waited in Yuncheng to see what happened.
The soldiers were recuperated, their physical strength and spirit gradually recovered, and after changing into new clothes, new armor, swords and spears, their morale was boosted.
Two days later, Murong Ke attacked Liyang as Li Yue had predicted.
Liyang has been an important town in Hebei since the Han Dynasty.
Li Yue's operation in this place is still above the head of the fang.
Cao Kan was strictly guarded, and the Yan army was not allowed to advance an inch.
The battlefield in Hebei gradually stabilized, and the fortified cities made Murong Ke helpless.
But knowing that he couldn't beat it, Murong Ke never retreated, and put on a long-term posture in the deep ditch and high base on the first line of Liyang.
"If the subordinates expect it to be good, Murong Ke will not leave for two reasons." Liu Qi frowned and said slowly.
"Liu Gong, please speak." Li Yue was polite.
Liu Qi has more contacts with Yecheng, but he is afraid that he has more than himself, so he can see things that others can't see.
"First, Yecheng is short of food, the people are hungry, Murong Ke should be persuading the prince to surrender."
Since the founding of the country, Ran Min has been reckless in military force, not engaged in farming, Hebei has no one to cultivate, and it is no secret that there is no food in the country.
Now, Ran Min has been captured alive, and the power of Yecheng naturally falls into the hands of the crown prince Ran Zhi.
The possibility of him surrendering to the Murong clan cannot be ruled out.
Recently, the news sent by Yang Luo, even Guangzong's beggar army was talking to Murong Ke, but he didn't make up his mind.
"Second, now the counties of northern Hebei have all surrendered, Lukou is under the enemy's back, Murong Chui's army is besieging, once it is broken, Murong Chui will drive straight in, Hejian and Zhangwu two counties will not be supported, Ke and Chui will meet the division, Jizhou can be determined, and then the governor will raise troops to the north, and he will also fall into the attack of Ke and Chui!"
Liu Qi told the story.
Li Yue frowned, the situation was still grim.
Fangtou Liyang blocked it, it doesn't mean that other places can also block it.
Hebei has long become a sieve, and the Yan army is pervasive.
The key is that there is Duan Qin in Pingyuan County who has restrained Cui Jin and Jia Jian.
"In other words, the key to this battle is Lukou!" Li Yue suddenly regretted that he had not supported him with 500,000 stone grain as Wang Wu had requested.
Ran Min was captured alive, Lukou was surrounded by enemies on three sides, and Wang Wu could surrender at any time.
"The governor of Bohai resisted Murong Ke, broke the shrine in Fangtou, punished Hu in Surabaya, shocked the world, Hebei heroes, and the people have admired it for a long time, if you can set foot in Hebei, you can boost the morale of Lukou and Yecheng, and strengthen the heart of Hebei heroes!"
"What Liu Gong said is exact, so-and-so will raise troops to the north!"
