Chapter 551: Offense and Defense

"Is there any news about the two kingdoms of Qin and Jin?" Murong Ke's voice was much calmer, and he didn't ask the scout, but the Feng Yi in the carriage.

"Di Qin gathered 100,000 troops in Chang'an, about to go east, the Jin army in the south and the heavy troops of the Susu and Fancheng, the northern expedition is imminent!" Feng Yi's voice was brisk, inexplicably with a hint of joy.

He is in charge of the intelligence of Yan Kingdom, these are all his duties.

"It's so good, it's attacked from three sides, this time the Liang State will be defeated, and the revival of Dayan is hopeful!" Ku Weiguan Wei laughed.

Zhai Rat glanced at the carriage suspiciously, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Yue, but the latter lowered his head and couldn't see clearly.

The expressions on the faces of the surrounding Yan soldiers were obviously a lot more relaxed, not afraid of the enemy's strength, and most afraid of fighting alone.

With 100,000 Qin troops and tens of thousands of Jin troops, no matter how strong the Liang State is, it will inevitably be left and right.

The news spread rapidly among the Yan army, and the morale suddenly could not be picked up, and it seemed that the dark clouds hanging over Fuyang City had dispersed a lot.

Liang Jun's body was quickly buried, and according to Murong Ke's request, a tablet was erected for Zhang Shengye, with the word "brave" written on it.

"Metropolitan Governor, the main force of the black cloud has arrived in Zhongshan!" It's only been a day off, and the scouts come back to report.

Not only did the main force of Heiyun come, but Jia Jian, Lu Bozao, Li Du, Duan Zhen and other generals also came together.

"Order, abandon Shanggu, the army is exhausted, the foot soldiers are behind, and the cavalry will follow me to break Jia Jian's army first!" Murong Ke appeared in front of everyone wearing a dark mink velvet.

His face is still pale, his body is still straight, but his cheeks are thin, and he is not as handsome as he used to be.

Although the Liang army was surrounded on three sides, the strength of each part was not large.

The Yan army is long in cavalry, 20,000 of the 50,000 troops under Murong Ke are cavalry, and most of the remaining 30,000 people have horses and camels to walk.

It is both a mount and a military ration.

For this battle, Murong Ke even took out Yan Guo's old book......

Zhongshan Wuji City.

"Your Majesty...... Murong Ke abandoned the attack on Jicheng and turned to attack Shanggu, and 937 Black Cloud Elites and 27 Shangwutang disciples were killed...... General Zhang Shengye tried his best to ......kill himself," Lu Qingyu, who accompanied the army, reported.

"Got it." Li Yue frowned.

This kind of casualties is not insignificant, but in the future, when the world is unified, more people will fall on the road.

Sending Zhang Shengye to Shanggu was originally based on training, but he didn't expect to meet an opponent of Murong Ke's level in the first battle.

But in the decisive battle between the two countries, death is inevitable, let alone facing Murong Ke.

This is also the reason why Li Yue wanted to quickly go north to meet the Yan army, and Murong Ke basically fought invincible opponents all over the world in history.

Although the Yan Kingdom is weak, as long as Murong Ke is still there, his combat power will not decline.

"The pension of the fallen soldiers has been doubled, Zhang Shengye ...... He was given the title of Brave General, and his son was given a seventh-class military meritorious knight. Ordered Jia Jian, Lu Bozao, Li Du, and Duan Zhen to defend the wall and not to rush in! ”

There was no time to remember the deceased, Li Yue quickly collected his mood and put his energy into the battle.

All the departments in Youzhou are foot soldiers, and the Yan army has many cavalry, which can be quickly interspersed, and can form an advantage of fighting fast and slow on local battlefields.

The fall of Shanggu this time was exploited by Murong Ke.

"Yui."

Lu Qing went out with the front foot to give the order, and the scout came with the back foot, "Your Majesty, Murong Ke abandoned Shanggu, led the troops to the east, and attacked General Jia Jian!" ”

"The whole army immediately went east to support Jicheng!" Li Yue was taken aback, and sure enough, Murong Ke did not covet the land and city.

From this, it can be seen that his purpose in this battle is to kill and injure the elite of Heiyun as much as possible, inflict heavy damage on Liang Guo, and buy more time for Yan Guo.

Yan Jun stayed in Shanggu only to wait for death, and Yan Jun only had a way to live if he moved.

The infantry army was too slow, and Li Yue could only let LΓΌ Guang and Liu Jiaozhi lead 20,000 cavalry first, and he led the infantry to catch up slowly.

As soon as he entered the Fanyang realm, all kinds of battle reports rolled in.

Jia Jian is a veteran, experienced, saw that the city of Fuyang was broken, and immediately fixed the camp and defended it, but Murong Ke shook a shot, and led the cavalry to attack Lu Bozao's department, Lu Bo was also a general, and the battle was not chaotic, and most of the soldiers under his command were the elite of Lukou back then, and they fought a bloody battle, blocking Murong Ke at the cost of more than 2,000 casualties, and retreating to Anci City.

"If I fight like this, I'll suffer a little!" Li Yue looked at the footmen who were slowly moving forward around him, 60,000 elites, and 40,000 people behind him, and he couldn't get up fast if he wanted to.

In this situation, the army must protect the grain routes at all times.

Cui Hong suggested: "Our army is chasing after it, and it is very difficult, it is better to attack the Worm Village and cut off Murong Ke's grain road first." ”

"Attacking the enemy will be saved, defending the enemy will be attacked, but!" Li Yueran said.

Hebei is very large and very empty, Murong Ke's troops are concentrated, and he does not come to attack the city and plunder the land, while Li Yue needs to defend everywhere, and he suffers a bit in terms of strategy.

Murong Ke's active attack did disrupt Li Yue's rhythm a little.

He is worthy of a prestigious general.

A famous general may not be able to prevent the demise of a country, but it can greatly delay the time of its demise.

Just like the Zhao State in the Warring States Period, with Li Mu there, it curbed the Qin army's invincible offensive posture, forcing the Qin State to eliminate Li Mu with a discordant strategy, and only then did it destroy the Zhao State.

The same is true of the state of Chu, Xiang Yan broke Li Xin at the father of the city (now southeast of Bozhou, Anhui), killed the seven captains, and the Qin army was almost completely annihilated, and finally the veteran Wang Jian went out and overwhelmed the top with an army of 600,000 Taishan, before destroying the state of Chu.

Li Yue ordered the army to the north.

After only two days, the movement of the Yan army changed again, Murong Ke abandoned the Worm Village, and the whole army turned to attack Cangzhou.

By the way, he received a wave of grain and grass from the Tuhe River.

Coming and going like this, the soldiers of the Liang army were quite tired, and they could walk by waterway when they used to march, but now the big ships of the navy followed Ma Gu to cross the sea to attack Liaodong, and they could only rely on two legs to hurry.

"If you attack the enemy, you will save it, and if you defend the enemy, you will attack, give an order, and the army will rest for two days, and then follow me out of the Worm Village, go to the north of Yin Mountain, and go straight to Longcheng!" Li Yue reacted.

can't follow Murong Ke's rhythm.

If you continue to fight like this, the Black Cloud Army will also be dragged down by fatigue, so simply come to the Black Tiger to dig out your heart!

Originally, the purpose of this battle was to annex the Yan Kingdom, but Murong Ke disrupted the rhythm and was dazzled, and now he is back to the topic.

There is a Tuhe River in the corridor of western Liaoning, guarding the Jieshi Road, and Murong Ke must have some arrangement.

Once he couldn't attack, Murong Ke attacked from behind, and Li Yue might capsize in the gutter.

To cause the enemy but not to the enemy, since ancient times, the taboo of using troops is to be led by the nose by the enemy.

Of course, it is not impossible to encircle Murong Ke.

But the manpower and material resources consumed are too great, and there is a risk of being broken through the encirclement by Murong Ke or severely damaged several large armies, which is thankless.

"If this is the case, our army's food supply is long, isn't it easier to be cut off by the enemy?" Cui Hong worried.

"First transport the grain and grass to Jicheng, and then leave 20,000 black cloud horsemen to protect the grain road, follow Murong Ke's example, and I will also bring more donkeys, mules, camels and horses on this trip!" Li Yue didn't believe that Murong Ke would ignore Long Cheng.

The army then marched towards Jicheng.
