"It's a pity!" Li Nong looked at Duan Wenyuan, who had already come, but did not risk fighting Duan Mobo.

After all, his number was too small, so when he saw Duan Wenyuan coming here, Li Nong gave up the idea of chasing and killing Duan Mobo, but he also let Duan Mobo escape.

It's just that Duan Mobo took three thousand Xianbei soldiers out on the expedition, but when he came back, there were only a few people around him, and such a blow was a big blow to the Duan Xianbei who didn't have a large population.

Therefore, Duan Ji and his relatives did not hesitate, and immediately evacuated with his subordinates and reunited with Qi Hong.

Zhao An also wrote a battle report and sent it directly to Liu Tai in the rear, and as for Zhao An himself, he began to transfer a detachment of troops from Bohai County and began to infiltrate the battlefield behind enemy lines into the area north of Bohai County.

After all, the combat mission of the battlefield behind enemy lines is to mobilize the people and attack the enemy's logistics and lone soldiers.

It will not have much effect if it is only nested in Bohai County, and it will have to infiltrate the enemy's Hejian County and Zhang County.

Compared with the three counties of Jizhou, which had Chu Yu laying the foundation through the Juntian Order and the government military system, the infiltration work of Hejian County and Zhang County was naturally much more difficult.

But I have to thank Wang Jun for his long-standing policies, as well as Qi Hong's style of warlords in the old era, not to mention the Xianbei people who went all the way south to slaughter the people of Bohai County.

Therefore, Hejian County and Zhang County are naturally not much better, and the local people have also enjoyed the treatment of soldiers.

This made Zhao An want to infiltrate Hejian County and Zhang County is not rootless, but the development is not as smooth as Bohai County, and in just one month, one village can be immediately integrated into a force.

Don't say it, just to make the people of Hejian County and Zhang County believe in Zhao An, this itself takes time to precipitate.

At this time, Liu Tai, who was still preparing supplies in the rear, also quickly received a message from Zhao An.

"Zhao An has done a very good job, from now on, do you dare to see that the Xianbei people will dare to treat my Chinese warriors like cattle and horses!"

Liu Tai handed the letter in Zhao An's hand to Chu Yu as he spoke, and he was more or less relieved.

When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he took the battle report from Liu Tai's hand and read it, and said to Liu Tai:

"In this way, in the future, the hearts of the people of the three counties of Jizhou will belong to my Han, and the land of Pingchuan will also have copper walls and iron walls!"

"We are still too weak, so we can only let the people suffer this calamity!" Liu Tai sighed.

"The county prince is merciful." Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's exclamation, and also said to Liu Tai from the bottom of his heart, and continued,

"With Zhao An as a support, especially after killing the Xianbei soldiers, then Wang Sang should receive the news, I believe his heart can also be settled, after all, we have invested a lot in Nanpi City, this city is not so easy to break!"

With Zhao An leading the people to gain an advantage in the battle with the Xianbei cavalry, the front line couldn't help but be much more stable.

Chu Yu went to the front line to personally arrange the defense line, and clearly knew that as long as Nanpi City did not become an isolated city, Qi Hong would not be able to defeat it for a while.

In fact, as long as it is ancient times, it takes half a year to defend any city that is united to defend it, and it will take half a year to take it down.

One of the most important is to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the city by besieging the city, and consume the food stored in the city.

For example, after Qi Hong surrounded Nanpi City, he had no intention of attacking Nanpi City.

Just building siege weapons on the periphery seems to be a bad job, but in fact this is the most normal way to siege a city.

Because such a high-pressure environment can bring considerable pressure to the people and soldiers in the city, especially if all the surrounding counties and villages in Bohai County except Nanpi City are breached, and Nanpi City becomes an isolated island, it will be easier to attack.

As long as you are a commander with a normal IQ, he will not fight you when your morale is high, and you are well fed and clothed.

On the contrary, you will fight a decisive battle when you are blocked, hungry and cold, and your will is shaken.

Therefore, Liu Tai did not pull his army aggressively and headed towards Nanpicheng, but prepared step by step.

First, Liu Tai believed in the solidity of Nanpi City and the effect of Zhao An's opening up the battlefield behind enemy lines.

Second, he needs to wait until Qi Hong invests enough resources to fight a tiger when it is difficult to ride a tiger.

At that time, if Qi Hong gives up, then all the resources he invested in the early attack on Nanpi City will be wasted, and he will at most pay for food on the road.

But if Qi Hong doesn't give up, then he needs to face the elite frontal fight that Liu Tai has been recuperating for a while.

No matter what the choice is, it will not be an easy task, so this requires Qi Hong's decision.

Liu Tai said to Chu Yu, "This time Zhao An mobilized the people's action, you sort it out and summarize it, and let the military historians record it." ”

"Is this a recipe for this to be a precedent?" Chu Yu couldn't help but ask Liu Tai.

Chu Yu hesitated and said, "But if the people are rebellious, even if Bohai County is recovered in the future, it will not be easy to manage." ”

"It's not necessarily the case, but in wartime, all our eyes are focused on the major cities.

In fact, these villages in various counties may be the vast majority of our neglect.

Especially if the alien race burns and loots on the land of our China, then we need to let the people understand that the alien race is the same as the Western Jin Dynasty, and if you want to avoid being slaughtered by the alien race, you also need to oppose the Jin Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty, and return to the Han Dynasty! ”

Liu Tai said thoughtfully at this moment, "As for management, as long as the people are dedicated to the Han, this is fundamental, and other things can be solved continuously after all!" ”

To be honest, Liu Tai sometimes has a headache about how to mobilize the common people to oppose the Jin Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty.

After all, there are many things that the people are willing to listen to, and what you say and the propaganda you make are useful.

If the people don't want to listen to you, you just can't say that it's useless, but it's just twice the result with half the effort.

But this time Zhao An's confrontation with the Xianbei alien race, in just one month, quickly integrated the local people with the army under his command, and made the local people accept the idea of opposing the Jin Dynasty and restoring the Han.

This made Liu Tai understand that he should actually develop to the north, rather than continue to stay in Qingzhou.

Because the more northern it is, the more acute the national contradictions, and the more the people in the north can appreciate the ferocity of the alien races in the north and the hardships of their own lives.

No matter what you say, the big man at least beats the alien race like a dog.

Now in the Jin court, not only the court has failed them, the princes have enslaved them, the scholars have exploited them, and even foreign races have come to plunder and slaughter them.

It can be said that Liu Tai considered the tactics of establishing a base behind enemy lines in Zhao Ango, more from a tactical point of view.

Because the way of using troops lies in the combination of positive and odd, Zhao An is a strange soldier who constantly targets the organization and logistics of the opponent.

Watching Zhao An smoothly integrate the people of the entire Bohai County, this made Liu Tai understand that maybe this strange army could not only be used tactically, but also be able to rise to strategy.

Through national awakening, we can continue to deepen the recognition of the grassroots people, and we can train the grassroots people through retired soldiers, and then let the military history record affairs, so as to strengthen the control of the grassroots.

At the same time, through the Juntian Order and the government military system, it can at least allow the people to form a certain degree of resistance at the grassroots level.

Not to mention that they should be pitted against the scholars, but at least they can form a certain degree of restraint on the bureaucracy of the scholars.

Of course, this model can play a very good role in foreign defensive warfare.

The most important thing is that this model is difficult for others to learn even if they want to.

Because the foundation of this model is not a means and system of management, but a belief that can unite the common dream of all people, that is, the unified belief of reviving the Han Dynasty.

After all, in the final analysis, the Han Dynasty did not perish because it was weak and decaying, and was spurned by the people.

You must know that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had already broken out in the era of Emperor Ling at that time, and when a normal dynasty encountered this situation, it would either collapse directly or quell the war, so that the population and land could be released by quelling the war.

Next, the emperor began to make up for it, and it was normal for the country to perish after one or two hundred years.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, although he was finally destroyed by Zhu Wen, in fact, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was already dead.

It's just that because of the Anshi Rebellion, enough land and population were vacated, so that future generations could move around the old system, slowly nail the Tang system, and then enter the soil according to the normal rhythm.

And the same is true of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although it is a bit cruel to say, but in fact it did make more living space for the Han Dynasty.

Theoretically speaking, the Han Dynasty survived for one or two hundred years by quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then there was no problem in decaying and aging.

But Dong Zhuo was chaotic, Cao Wei usurped the Han, and the Han died directly in his prime.

This will make people instinctively think about the beauty of the Han when they were strong, and they will not think about whether if the Han Dynasty continues to live for one or two hundred years, will it also become the current Sima clan, allowing foreign races to gallop on the land of China.

Therefore, Liu Tai held high the banner of the Han Dynasty, which was completely unimportant in the eyes of the wealthy family.

But it is different for the people at the bottom, who are personally endangered by the alien race.

When the military historians entered those closed northern villages with the banner of the Han Dynasty held high, they would naturally reunite under the banner of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Tai asked Xi Jian to silently record a stroke, and he didn't need it yet, but when he counterattacked Wang Jun's area, he held high the banner of Han nationalism and shouted the slogan of "Expelling Xianbei and Restoring the Han", would he be able to further gain the support of the people of Youzhou?

Liu Tai didn't know, but it was always wrong to let Xi Jian record it first.

Xi Jian listened to Liu Tai's command with divergent thinking, but he couldn't help but sigh that Liu Tai had a long-term vision.

Obviously, at this time, Qi Hong led an army of 50,000 to attack Nanpi City, and Wang Sangdu was still working the front line to resist, but after receiving Zhao An's battle report, he didn't have any worries, on the contrary, he was already thinking about counterattacking Youzhou.

This made Xi Jian couldn't help but ask Liu Tai, "Assassin Shi, aren't you worried about Qi Hong's attack on Nanpi City?" ”

"The retreat of the Xianbei cavalry announced that this fight at the grassroots level was our victory.

Although Qi Hong is a good general, he didn't see this in his vision, otherwise if it were me, he would never let the Xianbei cavalry retreat like this.

Although this does not mean a final victory, at least it gives us the foundation to contain Qi Hong even if we lose Nanpi City.

What's more, with an army supported by the people, the resilience he has will not allow Qi Hong to easily break through Nanpi City! ”

Liu Tai said calmly, "Continue to prepare materials, Wang Sang can last one more day, and it will be more beneficial to us for one day!" ”

And the fact is just as Liu Tai judged, after Zhao An successfully drove the Xianbei cavalry back to Qi Hong's barracks, he immediately contacted Wang Sang, who was guarding the city in Nanpi.

After all, Nanpi City was built on the river, and now the river is frozen, so it directly enters Nanpi City from the ice to report the news.

Even if Qi Hong wanted to completely blockade it, it would be impossible to stand on the ice for a long time, because it was not uncommon for a soldier to fall off the ice.

Although this man was rescued by the soldiers who were also patrolling, he died of illness not long after he caught a cold.

Therefore, Qi Hong only established coastal defenses on the shore, and someone guarded it during the day, and really let the soldiers continue to patrol the ice, what if this kind of thing happens again!

However, after getting in touch with Zhao An, Wang Sang couldn't help but be full of confidence.

After all, there is no shortage of personnel and materials in the entire Nanpi City, and the only thing I am worried about is that I am afraid that I will become an isolated city, and I don't know how long I will be stationed.

Now that he knows the situation outside, Wang Sang is naturally confident that he will be stationed in this city.

And Qi Hong saw that the Xianbei cavalry chose to come back, rather than continue to plunder in Bohai County, or even further north.

Qi Hong understood that his plan to ask for directions by throwing stones made Zhao An ruined.

Originally, he thought that this group of slaughtering Xianbei cavalry would encounter Liu Tai, so that he could have a more accurate assessment of Liu Tai's army.

But now seeing that the Xianbei cavalry was actually defeated by a group of villagers, this had to make Qi Hong feel disappointed.

Therefore, Qi Hong didn't hesitate, and he didn't care about his siege weapons, and he wasn't prepared enough, so he needed to hit Nanpi City hard.

So almost as soon as the Xianbei army returned, Qi Hong began to order the siege of the city!

In an instant, the thunderbolt crafted by the craftsmen threw a large number of stones towards the outer walls of Nanpi Castle!

Falling rocks fell one by one, although these stones did not have much accuracy, but as long as the soldiers were hit by these stones, they must have become directly flesh and mud, and they couldn't be saved if they wanted to.

Wang Sang, who was on the city tower, saw this scene, but he didn't have much to worry about, and immediately waved the flag to transmit the signal, so that these soldiers on the outer wall hid in the hidden soldier hole dug and built, so as to reduce the possibility of being smashed as much as possible.

However, the temporary walls on the periphery, which were not solid in the first place, quickly collapsed under the rubble.

When Qi Hong saw the outer wall of the Nanpi city wall collapsing, he stopped the throwing of the thunderbolt with satisfaction and ordered the soldiers to attack.

Today, you don't have to wait.
