Chapter 884: The Three Families Coordinated to Advance Westward

Just when the commander of the Henan Army was furious, the one hundred and twenty elites of the Five Merchants Alliance who were responsible for the attack and harassment quietly detoured to the back of the 13,000 Henan Army after receiving Wang Rensong's Feishu order, under the cover of the fog that had not yet dispersed and the support of the strong horsepower, and joined up with the 100 people who were responsible for setting up an ambush behind the Henan Army to cut off the rear road of the Henan Army.

As for why Wang Rensong gave this order, it was because on the night of the 11th, when the night of the 11th was approaching, the 15,000 officers and soldiers of the Central Court and the 2,000 Bianliang troops who had been exhausted and rushed all the way finally rushed to the county seat of Yanshi.

Wang Rensong, who had not yet slept, immediately met with the commanders of the official army and the Bianliang army, and immediately handed over the work to the government officials of the central court who came with the army, and handed over all the military and political affairs of Yanshi County to the government officials of the central court who came to take over.

After the handover between the two sides was completed, Wang Rensong discussed the next military action with the commander of the official army and the Bianliang army overnight. In the half hour of the meeting between the two sides, not only did the elite soldiers of the Five Merchants Alliance quickly gather, but even the officers and generals of the Bianliang Army took a short rest for a short period of time, and at the same time replenished some food and water.

Soon, Wang Rensong and the commanders of the two armies agreed on a battle plan, that is, before the Henan army got the news, they marched 50 miles overnight and directly killed the 20,000 Henan army.

Wang Rensong had already learned the results of the attack and harassment battle before and after sunset, and Wang Rensong was naturally very happy about the results achieved by those 120 people. It is also because of this that Wang Rensong thought of giving the other party another blow when the other party had just been attacked and his morale was low.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of soldiers in Wang Rensong's own hands was too small, and it would be easy to cause him a huge number of casualties if he killed him directly, Wang Rensong might not have waited for the official army and the Bianliang army to arrive in Yanshi County, so he would directly take the remaining eighty men and kill them in one go.

In the battle of Tiger Pass, Wang Rensong easily defeated the defenders of the Henan Army with the 300 main force in his hand, and his 300 soldiers did not have any deaths, which can be said to not only played the image of the heroic and invincible Qilu soldiers of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, but also played Wang Rensong's own strong reputation.

Of course, Rao is like this, among the officials and troops of the central court and the Bianliang army, there are still many people who have doubts about the achievements of Wang Rensong's battle in the Tiger Prison Pass, and have doubts about Wang Rensong's ability to command the army.

This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it, after all, there are always people who are jealous of those who are better than them, and they will naturally think that some excellent people are suspected of being exaggerated.

Fortunately, the two officers and commanders of the Bianliang army who rushed to Yanshi County did not despise Wang Rensong, but these two have been taking their respective subordinate departments and following behind Wang Rensong's department of the Five Merchants Alliance since they sent troops to participate in the war. Wang Rensong led the troops to fight, and these two led the troops to receive them. The Tiger Prison Pass was received by the commander of the Bianliang Army, and Gongxian was received by the commander of the official army.

Of course, it was also because Wang Rensong originally attacked Gongxian but did not follow the original plan, and suddenly turned west and went straight to Luozhou City, so that these two commanders were separated from Wang Rensong near Gongxian. And after the two easily took Gongxian County with the help of a hundred elite soldiers left by Wang Rensong, they came directly to Yanshi County to support without stopping.

It is also because these two commanders have been following Wang Rensong's department to pick up ready-made bargains, so that the two of them will be able to surrender to Wang Rensong's admiration for the five-body land, and the meeting of the commanders of the three armies in Yanshi County has actually become Wang Rensong's presiding and arrangement, and the commanders of the official army and the commanders of the Bianliang Army have obeyed the orders and carried them out.

According to the previous agreement between the Dongzhou Five Merchants League and the Central Court and the King of Bianliang, the Dongzhou Five Merchants League sent troops to help the Central Court attack the King of Henan, and the King of Bianliang assisted the Dongzhou Five Merchants League and the actions of the Central Court, and those towns and villages that were defeated, the Dongzhou Five Merchants League did not want any of them, and the King of Bianliang only needed the Tiger Prison Pass, the most important checkpoint in the west of Kaifeng Mansion to enter Luozhou, and the towns and villages east of the Tiger Prison Pass that originally belonged to the King of Henan, and the west of the Tiger Prison Pass was handed over to the Central Court.

Therefore, the Tiger Prison Pass was received by the Bianliang army, while Gongxian was received by the official army. As for other agreements that are beneficial to the three parties, I will not repeat them here.

This Yanshi county town is an important town west of Hugao Pass, and it is naturally handed over to the official army to take over. After the meeting of the commanders of the three armies, the commander of the official army left 1,000 infantry and 100 cavalry to stay in Yanshi County, and the remaining 14,000 troops would follow behind Wang Rensong's army and attack the Henan army together with the Bianliang army.

Of the more than 15,000 officers and soldiers who came to Yanshi County, 12,000 were infantry, and the remaining 3,000 or so were cavalry. And because the two thousand Bianliang troops were auxiliary operations, and in order to ensure mobility and speed, the king of Bianliang was completely obtained by the pure cavalry he sent. King Bianliang had a total of 10,000 cavalry in his hands, and in order to coordinate with the Five Shang Alliance and the army of the Central Imperial Court, he took out one-fifth of it in one go.

Now the three armies converged together, in addition to Wang Rensong's eighty silver-armored light cavalry, there were also 3,000 cavalry of the official army and 2,000 cavalry of the Bianliang army, and when the army marched to the west, the 11,000 infantry of the official army were left behind by more than 5,000 cavalry.

Of course, the cavalry went first, and the infantry followed, but those officers and infantry also had to fight hard to catch up with those cavalry, and they couldn't relax in the slightest.
