On the same day, Liu Yi led the cavalry brigade to set off first, and the infantry army was led by Li Ping, and in three and a half days, Li Ping's army had already arrived at the foot of Qinghe City, half a day earlier than expected. The old fourth battalion infantry is good at long-distance running, and the soldiers under the command of Huangfu Song of the Yingchuan Han Army are not ambiguous, they are all marching with all their strength to arrive in advance, and unlike the previous cavalry, all the infantry soldiers and soldiers have to enter the city to participate in the defense.

Knowing that Li Ping came to Liu Yi, of course he had to greet him in person, knowing that Li Ping was Lang Sheng's assistant, Huangfu Zhonglang's confidant, and Wen Kang was also very face-saving to greet him, and Liu Yi also used the arrival of the foot soldiers to organize an ingenious entry into the city! When looking at the well-equipped and majestic Han soldiers stepping into the Qinghe River with neat steps, the people's hearts were also shocked, in their impressions, such a powerful Han army is still the first time to see, not to mention the people, even the officials are also confident that they have seen the cavalry under Liu Yi before, that one by one is like a wolf and a tiger, and today I see these foot soldiers are also majestic like a mountain.

When they settled down in Qinghe City, the soldiers of the Second Army, the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army rested first, but the foot soldiers of the old Fourth Battalion and the Sixth Army had to immediately climb to the top of the city to familiarize themselves with the terrain. I can't help but admire, especially Bao Zhong, the gap is immediately evident in comparison, and Liu Yi's strictness in governing the army can be reflected here.

"Come and fight, and win" This is Liu Yi's usual requirement for his subordinates, not only to be fast when marching, but also to maintain enough physical strength to deal with the fierce battles that will appear at any time! The soldiers of the old fourth battalion in peacetime training are all strict with themselves in this way, and the results of the training in wartime are obvious, so that the soldiers can climb the city tower to familiarize themselves with the battlefield, and secondly, to maintain their sense of being in battle!

On that day, Liu Yi led the army to come and mentioned to Wen Thorn Shi that everything should be simple, and all his time should be invested in the preparation of defending the city, and Lang Sheng has been practicing it in the past few days, and he is now very familiar with the majestic and heroic figure of the tireless all day long. Today, as soon as Li Ping led the army to arrive, Liu Yi ordered a banquet in the palace, all the generals and colonels in the army participated, and there was no shortage of officials in the city, Liu Yi's purpose was to enhance the cohesion of the defenders, and the effect of strengthening the army would be more obvious.

"Come, Brother Ping has worked hard all the way, I'll wait for you to have a drink." Liu Yi was very active at the banquet, and his magnanimous drinking and excellent eloquence were also brought into full play, watching Lang Sheng and a group of officials push the cup and change the lamp, and the generals such as Qi Junlin and Pu Yangfeng also came to give Li Ping a toast, as Liu Yi's deputy, Li Ping's fame in the army is also very great.

"It's fair to everyone." Li Ping smiled and raised his glass to drink it all first, no matter what the occasion, he was calm and elegant, and Liu Yi's stillness and movement complemented each other.

"Hehe, it's still Lang Sheng's big heart, according to the time, the cavalry of the Iron Cavalry Battalion should also fight with the Yellow Turban, he is not worried at all, Pingzhi, you and Zilong are relatively close, what are the chances of our army winning this battle?" Putting down the wine glass, Pu Yangfeng glanced at Liu Yi, who was talking freely in the distance, and asked Li Ping with a smile, to be honest, their minds are on the front line now, Liu Yi appointed Zhao Yun as a general, and his attitude was extremely firm, and everyone was not good at speaking, but he was always worried in his heart, and Li Ping in front of him knew Gan and Zhao very well.

"As the commander of the three armies, when Mount Tai collapsed and the color remained unchanged, once the plan was decided, it was necessary to act resolutely, hesitation was really the harm of the soldiers, Lang Sheng knew people and believed that people had always admired it, Zhao Zilong Zhiyong had a law to unify the army, it was really above the level, and this person had many whims in the war, and now he was competent enough to serve as a raid, and he was also very good at helping the war, but Zilong was better at leading the cavalry! In this battle, in addition to Lang Sheng, Zilong is the best candidate in our army. When Li Ping heard this, he was extremely appreciative of his ability to command the army.

"Well, General Li can't be wrong if he says the same, it's not that I look down on Zilong, it's just that this battle is extremely heavy, and Zilong didn't have much success in commanding the army before." Pu Yangfeng bowed slightly when he heard this, although Li Ping's words were humble, but his appreciation and trust in Zhao Yun was the same as that of Lang Sheng that day.

"What Ping Zhi said is that if it weren't for Lang Sheng, as the commander of the three armies, he couldn't move lightly, and it would be more effective for him to personally lead the army in such a battle, to be honest, you and I have seen Lang Sheng go into battle, as long as he can increase the combat power of the soldiers in the iron cavalry battalion by thirty percent." Lin Jun said on the side, he is also extremely rich in experience as a general, without Liu Yi's old fourth battalion and iron cavalry battalion, they are already the most elite combat power of the Han Dynasty, and with Liu Yi's leadership, the momentum is even more majestic, life and death are nothing to those soldiers who believe in the general.

"It's still General Lin who is right, Lang Sheng was born to lead the army, if nothing else, you look at Lao Tang's Sixth Army and the current Fifth Army, I am afraid that if Lang Sheng says a word, they dare to jump into the fire pit in front of him!" When Qi Jun heard this, he nodded again and again and said with emotion, speaking of inciting and inspiring the morale of the soldiers, Liu Yi was even more unique, and that sentence incited the brothers to rush up with a roar, which was indeed a natural temperament.

When everyone heard this, they all claimed yes, worried that Zhao Yun's worries would go unconsciously, and they had even more confidence in guarding Qinghe, so at this time, a big man wearing the uniform of the Qinglong Army ran quickly, and he was still shouting: "General, great victory, general, great victory!" But it was Zhao Dazhuang in the Xuanwu camp! The audience suddenly fell silent when he shouted like this, and everyone had excitement on their faces!

"Hahahaha, it must be Xingbazilong's miraculous work, Da Zhuang, tear my throat and say it loudly." When Liu Yi heard this, a burst of laughter resounded throughout the audience, and then asked loudly.

"No! Tell the general, Captain Zhao and Captain Gan led the army to break the front of the Yellow Turban Zhang Yan Black Mountain Army in Moyunling, and our army beheaded 7,000 and injured countless enemies! Zhang Yan had to retreat, and that night Captain Gan personally led a hundred warriors to attack the enemy village at night, and killed hundreds of enemies to capture three battle flags, and specially ordered me to come to the victory quickly. Zhao Dazhuang really opened his throat and shouted when he heard the promise, and the whole square could hear it clearly.

"Okay, with 3,000 people raiding tens of thousands of troops, Zhang Yunmiao still has such a record, so that Zhang Yunmiao does not dare to advance an inch, and the third brother is really talented! My second brother is brave and courageous, and he dares to intercept the enemy camp with a hundred horsemen, who has such a feat! Now that our army has the opportunity in hand, Yi Dang must work together with all of you to let him Zhang Yan drink hatred under Qinghe City! Ladies and gentlemen, you and I drink together, and I wish you both meritorious service! When Liu Yi heard this, he immediately praised the second general, and it was also a toast that lost no time, and everyone got up for a while, and the audience was jubilant! Only he secretly said in his own heart, the second brother can really toss, and the Hundred Cavalry Robbery Camp was staged twenty years earlier.

A big victory in Moyunling, under Liu Yi's deliberate propaganda, Qinghe City was known to everyone overnight, and the people rushed to tell each other, and the morale of the army was also greatly shocked. And when Gan Ning and Zhao Yun waved in triumph, a welcome ceremony carefully organized by Langsheng pushed that atmosphere to the peak! According to Pu Yangfeng, the commander of the three armies of the Han Army, it is: "Where did Lang Sheng get these skills, which are much more lively than the New Year." ”

In Liu Yi's heart, this is the propaganda tactics of later generations in the late Han Dynasty, what kind of city is the most difficult to attack? Undoubtedly, the defenders are unwavering and unwavering, and the most headache is the most! What Lang Sheng did after coming to Qinghe, including this celebration of victory, was to strengthen the belief that the army and the people would win, maybe this was not enough to repel Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban army, but it would undoubtedly increase his chances of holding this place!

And seeing the eldest brother personally lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for himself, Zhao Yun was extremely honored in his heart, and he was able to hand over the raid on the yellow scarf to himself in a word, which already showed the trust of the eldest brother, and at this time, he treated himself like this is even more generous, although the brotherhood is deep, and his heart is also moved! As for the meritorious soldiers, none of them have fallen, and the red flowers seem to be extremely simple, but in the eyes of the soldiers, the general personally wears them is better than ten thousand gold! Looking at the admiring gaze of those ordinary soldiers looking at Liu Yi, Wen Kang couldn't help but sigh that Lang Sheng was indeed very popular with the military, it should be said that it was more than that, and the eyes of the people looking at Liu Yi were already full of respect.

The welcome ceremony and the celebration meeting, the whole Qinghe was full of joy in the morning, and in the afternoon, Liu Yi began to convene the generals to discuss the matter in the tent, the battle of Moyunling not only inspired the military morale and public opinion, but also made Zhang Yan's march become stagnant, knowing that his opponent is the world-famous Liu Yi Liu Langsheng Zhang Yunmiao is also extra cautious, just look at this battle that Liu Langsheng's use of troops can not be reasonable!

"According to the pre-war decision, Liu should sit in Qinghe, General Qi's Fifth Army is responsible for the east of the city, Captain Puyang's three armies will stick to the west of the city, the south of the city will be defended by Captain Lin of the Second Army, and the north will be handed over to General Li's Sixth Army, the old fourth battalion will be commanded by Xingba as the assault team, and the original Qinghe defenders and Minfu will be divided into four teams as reserves." In the handsome tent, Liu Yi held a bamboo pole and pointed to the hanging giant map, and kept talking.

"Nuo, Nuo, Nuo, Nuo......" Every time the name of a Han general is called, everyone from the beginning of the Qi army is up to receive orders, the six armies of the Han army were incorporated into Xiao Yi after Tang Wang died in the first battle of Shuanglongling, and Gan Ning was also appointed by Hengzhi as the commander of the six armies, but he still served as the head of the old four battalions.

"Now Yi has 2,500 cavalry troops in his hand, 1,500 cavalry troops in his hands, 1,500 cavalry troops in Zhonglang's army plus 1,800 under Captain Lu Weihuang's department, a total of more than 6,000 cavalry, and it is reported that Zhang Yan has more than 10,000 cavalry in his hands. Although its number is above our army, but if the combat power will never lose, now Ling Zilong is the cavalry commander Lin Hu deputy, what you do is to cruise outside the city of Jinan at any time to respond to the main force in the city. Looking at Zhao Yun and Lin Hu's second general, Liu Yi said again, even if Zhang Yan used 200,000 troops to besiege Qinghe on all sides, as long as there was a strong cavalry to contain it, it would not dare to attack the city with all his strength, and Zhang Yan, who wanted to annihilate the cavalry under his command, still lacked enough troops, and the proportion of cavalry among the Yellow Turban soldiers was too low.

"No, no!" Zhao Yun, Lin and Hu and the two generals were all indignant, and everyone had had a detailed discussion about the cavalry before, that is, they were constantly harassing the enemy's flanks, and if Zhang Yan dared to have a decisive battle with the Han army, he would try to defeat it, and as for the battle, Zhao Yun would decide on the spot. Three days ago, Liu Yi had already mobilized the people to transport the materials of the cavalry to a hidden place outside the city, and the two generals were full of confidence in this, especially after the battle of Moyunling, they also had an understanding of the Montenegrin army.

"With Zilong's ability, Liu naturally doesn't have to worry, I only hope that the third brother will remember one thing, and take good protection of yourself as the top, as long as your strength is still there, Zhang Yunmiao will definitely have nothing to do with Qinghe City." Liu Yi smiled and said, the third brother is fine, the only thing he is worried about is the deep brotherhood of his comrades in the army, and he is afraid of being used by the enemy.

"The last general should remember the words of the general, and dare not forget it." Zhao Yun heard that he was solemn and received the order, but this was a public occasion, and he also used a formal title. Liu Yi told him that guarding Qinghe and relying on Xiongcheng was only half of it, and the other half was on the cavalry, Zilong thought about it deeply, even if the enemy was outnumbered, the Han army still had an advantage in terms of cavalry.

"Xingba Pingzhi, the two of you must be in a state of imminent battle at any time, and when necessary, as we discussed before, even if there is no cavalry strategy, Zhang Yan will not blindly attack." Liu Yi bowed his head slightly, and said to the second general Gan Ning and Li Ping, the elite of the old fourth battalion and the fifth and sixth armies are in the hands of the two.

"No, no!" The two bowed down to receive the order, and the cavalry containment proposed by Liu Yi was unanimously approved by everyone, but after all, the enemy army was numerous, and they must also be prepared to fight independently. At this time, Lang Sheng put forward the concept of "short assault", which made the generals quite fresh, and it was only after a relatively heated discussion that this novel tactic was recognized.

The so-called "short assault" means that when the enemy soldiers are approaching the city, especially when the siege equipment arrives, the light infantry will open the city gate as the main force to counterattack, which reflects a kind of concept of attacking in defense. Of course, in the face of superior enemy forces, it is extremely risky to take the initiative to open the city gates, and the slightest carelessness is to give the enemy a gap, and it seems very unwise to fight with the enemy army if there is a strong city. Therefore, when Liu Yi proposed, including Qi Jun, they all had stunned expressions, and if it weren't for Lang Sheng, they would immediately refuse.

However, after Liu Yi's analysis, everyone still feels that this move is quite desirable, first of all, it is a surprise to the enemy, the enemy army is difficult to think that the Han army will take the initiative to open the city gate, and secondly, the point of the short assault is to be fast, and the enemy army is quickly withdrawn before it reacts, and the old fourth battalion except for the White Tiger Battalion has the strength to take responsibility for the implementation of this tactic, and the third such tactics will always make the enemy always have to be on guard psychologically as long as this tactic succeeds once, so in the end everyone is unified.

A group of generals and colonels carried out the final battle deployment in Jinan City, and the cavalry led by Zhao Yun also had an extremely important task of collecting military information, and shooting the latest movements of the enemy army into the city as soon as possible every day, and for Liu Yi, the update of information was also an extremely critical factor for him to win this battle.

Two days later, Zhang Yan led the Yellow Turban army to finally arrive at the foot of Qinghe City, and climbed high to see the enemy's camp endlessly, which can give people a rather heavy pressure, and the entire Qinghe City is also in strict battle under the leadership of Liu Yi, and a tragic offensive and defensive battle is about to begin!

After reporting that Zhang Yan's army came to Liu Yi, he immediately climbed the city tower to watch the enemy, the Yellow Turban Army was ten miles away from Qinghe City, the camp was quite tight, and Bao Zhong first felt the heavy pressure in the face of the black pressure of the enemy, more than 200,000 Black Mountain Army, but the defenders in the city were only more than 20,000 people, a ratio of ten to one, General Liu could really hold Jinan as he said? However, on the faces of Liu Yi and the generals under his command, General Bao once again found the gap, and in the face of the enemy, Liu Yi was still calm and light.

"Hehe, there is a lack of one in the three circles, Zhang Yan is also quite familiar with the art of war, pass my general order, and block the north gate of the Qinghe River for me with sand and stones, from today onwards, no matter who goes out of the north gate, no matter who will be killed!" Looking at the enemy's array, Liu Yi smiled and said, and then ordered but the meaning was cold, the Yellow Turban army surrounded the three gates of the southeast and west of the Qinghe, but the north gate left a gap, how could Liu Yi not know this method, blocking the city gate is to show determination! Lang Sheng is absolutely unwilling to defend himself, but at this time, everything he says and does is the sustenance of the military and the people.

I have to say that Liu Yi, as the commander-in-chief, showed that the kind of relaxation he showed when facing the pressure of the enemy army was still very infectious, seeing Lang Sheng talking and laughing freely, several generals under Bao Zhong had relieved expressions, General Liu had never been defeated in the vertical and horizontal battle formation, and now he must be confident.

"General Qi, who is the city guard here?" After giving the order, Liu Yi asked Qi Jun beside him.

"Zheng Meng." When Qi Jun heard this, he immediately shouted to the side, and then a man with a thick beard all over his body ran over, and when he arrived in front of Liu Yi, he saw him with a military salute, this person was the first echelon defender of the city's defense, Sima Zheng Meng, the infantry of the Fifth Army.

"Zheng Meng, isn't it the one who fought to the death in the battle of Shuanglong Mountain that day?" Looking at Zheng Meng with excitement on his face, Liu Yi slightly bowed his head and turned his head to Qi Jun and asked, he was also deeply impressed by the battle that day.

"It's this person, he pestered me to take the lead yesterday." Qi Jun smiled when he heard this.

"Zheng Sima, that day, you and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops were especially able to use the advantages of the battle array to rely on the might of the cavalry, and today our army has the advantage of the defense of the city in hand, which is far above it, it is said that the first battle is won, the battle is won, the enemy is about to attack the city, Zheng Sima also wants people to be as his name, and play the prestige and morale of our army." Liu Yi looked at Zheng Mengyan and said.

"Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will definitely beat him hard, but he is unwilling to be a military lawyer." Zheng Meng said loudly with a puff in his chest, it was also a great honor for him to take on the responsibility of the first battle.

"Hahaha, okay, Liu can trust Sima's words." Liu Yi smiled and said loudly to the guards at the head of the city: "Brothers, outside this city is the 200,000 troops of Zhang Yan of Montenegro, what a big battle, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of ......" "Afraid of his birds!" As soon as the words fell, there was already a sound of harmony.

"Lu Yang, what did you say? How can you be presumptuous in front of the general? When Zheng Meng heard this, he shouted at the soldier who was the tallest and had spoken rudely just now.

"Hehe, it's okay, what Lu Yang said is that he is afraid that he is a bird, in Yingchuan, we can fight fewer battles to defeat the public? He Zhang Yunmiao still lacks a good pair of teeth if he wants to take Jinan City, and his brothers beat him hard, first break his front teeth! Liu Yi waved his hand to stop Zheng Meng and said loudly, listening to what the general said, the soldiers and soldiers at the head of the city also laughed, and the tense atmosphere was also eased.

When the laughter of the soldiers gradually stopped, Liu Yicai said to Zheng Meng again: "Zheng Sima, you are a veteran in our army, Liu not only wants you to win the first battle, but also to save arrows, wood and stones, you have to think of a way, this battle is not only fierce, but also dexterous, if you win the battle, Liu invites you to drink, if you lose, it will be a military stick."

"Brothers, do you hear, the general wants to invite us to drink, general, dare to ask for wine." When Zheng Meng heard this, he first yelled at his corporal and then asked, he still knew a lot about Liu Yi's command habits, and he didn't think about being beaten at all, and he was sure to win the first battle.

"Naturally, then I'll wait for Sima's good news." Liu Yi smiled and spoke, and after speaking, he led the generals to the head of the city elsewhere, the arrangement of this city defense tactic has been issued for a long time, and an old man like Zheng Meng does not need to say too much.
