Chapter 469: Four Ways to Strike

Just a few days before Lin Feng and others captured the small fortress, the **, which had been recuperating for nearly two months, finally made a move, and the 60,000 Li family army led by Li Jian launched a siege battle against Fengzhou City as the main force, and the 20,000 Fengjia army and 40,000 soldiers and horses from various parts of the country launched a comprehensive siege on Liangquan County, which was still occupied by the puppet Qi not far away.

This is also a few years, since two consecutive decisive battles two months ago, ** against the puppet Qi once again large-scale use of troops, although the two sides invested slightly inferior to the previous two times, but after the previous attrition, this time it can be regarded as exhausting their respective forces.

Because of the defeat in the previous decisive battle, as Lin Feng had expected before, since the ** launched the attack, he has always been in a firm posture, and he is not willing to send a single soldier to meet the **.

At the time when the two cities garrisoned by the puppet Qi rebels were surrounded by water, Yin Bo led 3,000 elites and 200 craftsmen in the army to quickly advance into the Baoxiao Valley without the awareness of the puppet Qi rebels.

At the same time, Meng Hong led the deputy generals Bian Hao, Chen Yang and others, led 3,000 elite soldiers and 200 craftsmen to set off from Fu Luo Road, and also crossed the 480 miles of Fu Luo Road at the speed of 50 miles a day, not only to simply rebuild the damaged plank road along the way, but also to send a team every day to send back the detailed map drawn by the march that day, so that the subsequent Mao Hao led the winged cavalry regiment to encounter fewer difficulties.

About ten days before the departure of these two elites, the rebuilt Benlei Pioneer Regiment was divided into four teams by the corps commander Pan Zhigang, with more than 500 people in each team, separated by two days from each other, and entered the Meridian Valley one after another. Because of the previous path-finding by Lin Feng and the others, the speed of the Thunder Pioneer Regiment was slightly faster than that of the other two routes, and the daily march was about nearly sixty miles. Before the fourth squad of the Benlei Pioneer Regiment set off, the first team led by Pan Zhigang had already arrived at the location of Lin Feng and the others.

At the same time, Li Xiaofeng led a thousand elites and Lin Han's Modao Army from the Feng family army camp and advanced into the Baoxiao Valley. In addition, the thirty hundred-man teams of the Feng family army also stretched on the official road from the front-line camp to the Meridian Valley, and entered the Meridian Valley in batches in turn to help the front robe.

At this point, all the plans have been carried out to the second stage, and the high-level of the pseudo-Qi finally learned the terrible news, and at the same time, under the overnight discussion of the generals under the leadership of Huang Chao, they divided 30,000 troops, entered the Great Sanguan, took the Chencang Road, and returned to Chencang and Meixian and other dangerous places.

It's just that even if the rebels of the puppet Qi return to aid were in a hurry, they still couldn't arrive in time, and just four days after leaving, the main general of the puppet Qi reinforcements received a report from the deserter from Xieyu Pass, and the Xieyu Pass was broken by a drum in front of the elite of the Fengjia army who descended from the sky.

Three days later, the commander of the puppet Qi reinforcement army who had just marched out of Chencang Road received the news again, after a bloody battle for half a day, Luogu Pass on Fu Luo Road was also lost, and more than half of his 5,000 defenders were killed and wounded, except for surrender, no more than 300 people who could leave Luogu Pass alive were able to escape on the way, and the guards committed suicide in fear of crime on the way to escape.

At this time, the morale of the 30,000 horses who returned to the aid of the pseudo-Qi suddenly plummeted, and they rushed to Chencang County under the leadership of the commander to garrison, in case the Feng family army from leaving the valley stabbed them in the back again. But unfortunately, in the west of Chencang County, more than 40 miles west, the 30,000 reinforcements of the puppet Qi were caught off guard by the 1,000 elite ambush led by Yin Boqin, leaving countless grains and grasses behind, and fled into Chencang County in a hurry.

And the commander of the puppet Qi reinforcements is Yang Neng, who was frustrated in the decisive battle, and this time it was a failure to return to the aid but was defeated first, originally wanted to draw a sword to kill himself, but was stopped by the generals, begging for a while, Yang Neng was able to save his life, sent a messenger to Huang Chao to ask for guilt, collected some information about Xieyu Pass, after a few days of consideration, Yang Neng regrouped his soldiers and horses, and gathered more than 10,000 people temporarily gathered from all over Chencang County, and 40,000 troops wanted to recapture Xieyu Pass.

Unfortunately, at this time, Lin Han led more than 4,000 Modao troops to Xieyu Pass, and at the same time set up a large camp in front of Xieyu Pass, dividing all Modao troops into four thousand teams, and waiting for the counterattack of pseudo-Qi outside the camp in shifts.

Yang Nengke had participated in the previous decisive battle, he had witnessed the power of the Mo Dao Army, how about the more than 100,000 pseudo-Qi main forces that failed to take more than 1,000 Mo Dao Army, he didn't think that he could defeat the more than 4,000 Mo Dao Army at this moment with his own ability and the 40,000 people under his command, let alone want to take down the well-guarded Xieyu Pass behind the Mo Dao Army.

At the same time, Meng Hong, who defeated Luogu Pass and came out of Fu Luodao, assigned 500 elites to the generals Bian Hao and Chen Yang, and asked them to harass Meixian in turn, so that the defenders in the city did not know the true reality of their own troops, and at the same time strengthened the defense of Luogu Pass. Just when the defenders of Meixian County sent troops from all over the country to attack with the Yufeng army, they also gradually sent probes to explore the truth, and when they knew that Luogu Pass was actually only less than 2,000 people in total, they were furious, and ordered 10,000 troops to carry a batch of siege equipment, wanting to recapture Luogu Pass in one breath.

But on the way to Luogu Pass, but encountered Mao Hao, who led two thousand elite winged cavalry in advance, and met the brave on a narrow road, not to mention the plain area that is conducive to the winged cavalry galloping and mighty, Meixian guards resisted for less than half an hour, left their baggage and fled in embarrassment, on the way back, they were also ambushed by Bian Hao and Chen Yang, and when they went back to Meixian, the 10,000 people they brought when they went out of the city had gone to eight out of ten, either dead or surrendered, or they fled without a trace of chaos.

Subsequently, Mao Hao also divided his subordinates into a team of 1,000 people, and took turns running around in Meixian County all day, as if they were tired, dawn came, and it would not retreat until nightfall, and what made the Meixian guards more panicked was that more and more winged cavalry gathered outside the city, and every two days, you will see that the number of teams patrolling and running outside the city has increased by more than half.

At this point, with the efforts of more than 10,000 people in the Fengjia army, the plan of ** finally opened the deadlock between the two sides for many years, from the two places of Baoxie Valley and Fu Luo Road, crossed the Qinling Mountains to the north, and completely entered the hinterland of the puppet Qi forces.
