In the early morning of November 5 in the first year of the Xia calendar, Gengzi Day, the Beifu soldiers pulled out the camp and attacked Yuncheng 70 miles away to the east along the wide gallop road, which was only 30 miles away from the nearest Yuncheng outer defense line.

Xiahou Shang, the general of the expedition to the south, asked himself more than once, if Tian Xin brought the Beifu soldiers over, would he dare to press the whole army?

Due to the successful planning to rescue the defenders of Kunyang, the night attack killed the enemy general Wu Yi, and Xiahou Shang's official position was promoted by one level, but the combat effectiveness was not significantly improved.

With the ability of the Beifu soldiers to attack fortifications, it is difficult for common fortifications to work.

As an army that is cultured and thoughtful, encourages officials to think, and actively selects military officials, Beifu soldiers are full of vitality.

The middle and low-level officials have a fighting enthusiasm and are more enthusiastic about solving the difficulties of the battle.

Common fortifications do not need to be reported layer by layer, and the grassroots officials of the Beifu army will find a way to overcome and solve it.

This kind of combat enthusiasm is a terrible thing, and only the five school battalions of the Northern Army in the late Han Dynasty have this quality; Only the original tiger and leopard riders had the training and tendency to do so.

Therefore, ordinary fortifications can't stop the Beifu soldiers, and it is obviously a tough battle, which can make the Beifu soldiers fight in a field battle.

In this case, if there are fewer reinforcements, it will not be a problem, and if there are more, it will be possible to fight a decisive battle if there are more troops to help the battle.

The decisive battle, it may be that Cao Zhi's Qingxu army did not arrive at the scheduled Shaoling, and Xiahou Shang always felt that he was not ready for the decisive battle.

Xiahou Shang is stationed in Yunxian (Luohe), which is the crossroads, running through Ye County and Chen County from east to west, and communicating Xingyang, Runan and Jiangxia from north to south.

The crossing of the gallop road is here, which is destined to have defensive value here, and it is also destined to defend here, and the replenishment of materials in all aspects will be very convenient.

In this era when there were no township-level and county-level roads, the route where the gallop road was located was the route of the army, like a railway network.

How much do you walk each day and where do you rest...... It can all be planned before the war.

Cao Xiu urgently moved to Xudu in order to block the road to Xingyang.

Xingyang is nothing remarkable, but there are too many ferries around, and it is close to Wankou, if the Han army forcibly marches to Xingyang, cross the river to the north...... Then there is no need to fight this battle.

"Therefore, it is better to let it pass."

Xiahou Shang discussed the military situation with Jia Kui and Man Chong and came to the conclusion that after the Beifu soldiers passed through Yun County, they would encounter Cao Xiu's troops in Xingyang in the north, and if they went east, Su would be stationed in Shaoling, and after Shaoling, there would be Chen County, where fortifications had already been built, and Cao would be able to defend after being stationed.

Let Tian Xin pass, Xu Du, Shaoling, and Chen County will be strictly guarded, and then they will turn around and pursue, and besiege Tian Xin before and after!

Your Beifu soldiers can fight well, and most of the soldiers are Wei troops...... Surrounded on all sides and embattled on all sides, it is natural to attack the heart and disintegrate the will to fight.

At the end of the meeting, we worked together to formulate and study the wording of the military letters sent to Luoyang, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhi, Su Ze, and other places, and we must clearly express our strategic intentions.

Xiahou Ba strode into the hall, and when he saw that these people were still studying the military book together calmly, he couldn't help but say urgently: "General! The thief army has been fighting since noon, and has destroyed three of our army's strongholds one after another! The soldiers of my battalion...... How scared! ”

Xiahou Shang asked, "Which three battalions?" ”

"It is the third battalion outside the Yin Bureau, and the Yin Department sent envoys to ask for help twice."

Xiahou Ba's face was ugly and he replied, and the crowd on the side thought that he had heard it wrong, and said, "There are only three battalions in the Yin Bureau. ”

"Yes, the three battalions of the Yin Department are all broken."

Xiahou Ba looked at Man Pet and replied angrily: "The rout fled and fled, I don't know where the Yin Department is alive or dead, and where it is going." Seeing that his routs were scattered and running, it was expected that the Yin Department did not surrender to the thieves. ”

Xiahou Shang glared at Xiahou Ba, who had a bad tone, turned around and asked Tuo Jia Kui to prepare a military book, and he strode out of the hall with a cadre of generals and walked towards the city tower.

More than 30 miles to the west, a large cloud of smoke had risen into the air and spread, and slender black wolf smoke rose one after another from the nearby camps.

The outer defense line has collapsed, and on the wide gallop road, the Beifu Yingyang Army and the Huya Army are the left and right vanguards, and they have appeared in Xiahou Shang's line of sight.

It can be clearly seen that seven or eight miles away, the Yingyang Army and the Huya Army turned along the gallop road, and the troops of the Guannei Hou and the cavalry commander Tian Xusuo, who were camped on both sides of the gallop road, watched from the wall and were not prepared to attack.

Xiahou Shang clearly saw that the horses in the stables in Tian Xu's two camps were frightened, and Tian Xu's Youzhou Raiders were guarding in front of the camps and shooting indiscriminately, without the slightest intention of attacking and intercepting.

After the Huya, Yingyang, and Zhengbei armies lined up, Tian Xin wore red lacquered plate armor, stood on the chariot and followed the team slowly, Yu Zhong stood beside him, holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand.

Mondo also mixed in with the knights' ranks, listlessly following the action.

The Beifu soldiers marched along the gallop road, and the Tian Xu Division, which was camped a hundred steps away from the gallop road, hurriedly fired arrows, and the arrows fell on the side of the gallop road one after another, which could not affect the marching army of the Beifu army.

"It's really a fierce warrior in the world!"

Tian Xu praised, glanced left and right, and waved his arms: "Pull the strings!" ”

The arrows rained down on the wasteland by the gallop road, nailed a layer, and the Wei army's arrow feathers were variegated, like a wheat field after the harvest.

Tian Xu put arrows here to suppress, and the first few rounds of arrows were powerful, and most of the follow-up arrows could not be shot on the side of the gallop road, and the harassment of the Beifu soldiers was limited.

Without Xiahou Shang's order, no one dared to go out of the camp to fight.

It's not that Xiahou Shang didn't give orders, but the three battalions of the Yin Department were not angry, and they couldn't hinder the footsteps of the Beifu soldiers...... Naturally, it was impossible to arrange for the armies to leave the camp.

Since there was no order, the Han army was just passing by, so why should they take the initiative to resist the order to fight the Han army?

Just under the nose of Xiahou Shang, two miles outside the city, the gallop road was blocked by a layer of fence, there was no defender to hold it, this fence was quickly chopped open by the Han army, scattered timber was thrown to the side of the road, and the gallop road was restored to unblocked.

Xiahou Ba pointed to the marching queue of Beifu soldiers: "Brother, there are three miles from the front and back of his army, and this is difficult to take care of. ”

Man Zhong frowned suspiciously, in terms of the establishment and number of the twenty-six battalions of the Beifu, the length of the march was three miles long...... Some were too short, and this was the length of a battle march after abandoning the baggage, not a long march.

The more vehicles carrying heavy loads, the longer the marching distance, sparse and undense.

There are a few chariots and wheelbarrows in each battalion of the Beifu soldiers, and there are less than thirty in each battalion, but how much military rations can this vehicle carry in addition to spare combat equipment?

It is estimated that the materials carried by the vehicles will definitely not exceed ten days for the Beifu soldiers to carry military rations.

Therefore, this is not the equipment that should be equipped for long-distance marching, this is normal field equipment, this is a lure battle!

The Beifu soldiers marched without being dragged down by baggage, and the battalions and teams were in strict order.

If you send troops to attack now, it will be difficult to take advantage.

Thinking about this, Xiahou Shang didn't dare to easily send troops to meet and intercept, but just watched the Han army march from in front of him, a little annoyed and angry.

Not only him, but also embarrassed, this is simply a humiliation to Wei Jun!

Should I go out of the camp to volley?

There are no Beifu soldiers who are dragged down by baggage, the military formation is neat, and the officials are full of energy...... Now to run headlong is to fight a field battle, a decisive battle.

A normal army march is like moving, and it is tempting to move all the timber for the barracks.

Such marching columns are very bloated and tiring, and they are afraid of being attacked.

can let the Han army march so blatantly, it is really unwilling.

Xiahou Shang looked angry, and saw another Youzhou turbid cavalry camp open in the gate, and more than 700 Wuhuan knights came out under the observation from all over the place, lined up at the camp gate, and slowly approached the Han army in a relatively neat queue, as if they were preparing to charge.

Tian Xin's Wudang Flying Cavalry also left the marching column, covering in a roundabout way, preparing to intercept.

It's just that...... Under the eyes of everyone, a horse flew out of the Wuhuan knights in this battalion, holding a spear high, and the blade of the spear was tied with a long bright red cloth curtain, ran straight to Tian Xinrong's car, turned over and dismounted: "Liaoxi Hanlong, lobbying eight hundred Liaoxi Wuhuan righteous knights, willing to return to the Han!" ”
