Since ancient times, generals have to choose the time of day when they go out to fight, and in ancient times, they even had to bathe for three days to pay tribute to the temple, and the national event of conscription and use of troops was an extremely important ceremony to seriously respect the importance of soldiers. However, in the Yanbei era, two troops were sent out in three days to release horses, not to mention that he came from the bottom did not know those rituals at all, and even disdained to imitate those rituals in the past.

In ancient times, sending troops paid attention to conforming to the weather, grasping the fighter plane, and having combat power, which is the so-called heaven, time, and man.

Yanbei's dispatch of troops this time is against the sky.

At the end of June, the northwest of Jixian County rolled up the yellow sand, which was against the sky. In the past, there were often windy and sandy days in the north of Jixian County, but it mostly occurred in winter and spring, and it was precisely in order to avoid sand and dust that Yanbei planned to use troops in summer. But he didn't want the spring of the first year of Xingping to have no wind and sand, and at the turn of spring and summer, a strong wind suddenly rose, which caught him off guard.

Yan Bei's face was covered with the dark silk cloth carried by the army, and his eyes that were only exposed were also slightly narrowed, "The wind is very strong, there is a lot of sand, I can't see the enemy, and the enemy can't see me...... Grab the heights. ”

The long distance of 200 miles was in the battlefield expected by Yanbei, and a small number of soldiers and horses were stationed in various dangers according to the geographical advantages. If you want to be thorough, you have to divide the troops, so within a radius of more than ten or even dozens of miles, thousands of men and horses will be stationed to guard the important places.

"General, Zhang Lian's riders have found us, and the wind and sand in the north are tighter!" Guo Jia staggered all the way down the mountain, to the leeward of the mountainside to find Yanbei, his voice was a little muffled after covering his face, and said: "The Xianbei people outside Juyong Pass are also trapped by the wind and sand, they are extremely cautious in pursuit, and they do not rush forward...... Kebi can not be easy to deal with. ”

It's not just that it's not easy to deal with, I originally thought that locking up Juyong Pass would make Xianbei people attack angrily, but I didn't want Ke Bineng to attack even if the war horse was shot to death by Zhang, and then it was only a moment of strong attack, and then it was just encircled but not moved. Although the checkpoint bought Yanbei four months, it could not wear down Kebineng's troops, and the Xianbei troops they needed to deal with were still close to 30,000.

"How's it going to be over there?"

The enemy army that broke into the Han border from Juyongguan belonged to the headquarters of Kebineng, and there should be nearly 20,000 people; In the west, there was also a Xianbei leader named Yuyan, whose range of activities used to be in the northern part of the state, and now he also helped Kebineng, and his army was also around 10,000.

The only thing to be thankful for is about the two strong leaders of Xianbei in the central region, Bu Dugen and his middle brother Fu Luohan led tens of thousands of people to stop at Daijun and did not march, Yanbei has ordered the Wuhuan leader of Daijun to lead his troops to deploy defenses, and they don't know what their brothers are fighting before the lobbyist Sun Zong returns.

Daijun Taishou Wang Ze has never sent anyone to the state to govern, which made Yanbei muttered in his heart, and now that such a thing has happened in Daijun, he estimates that Wang Ze has been obtained by Budugen.

Based on this matter alone, Yan Bei thought that even if Fu Luo Han and Bu Dugen did not enter the army, they would not have many good intentions for themselves.

Fortunately, the Xianbei people were not a country like the Han Dynasty, but a relatively loose tribal alliance, and each leader had its own contradictions, so the various tribes invaded the south together and did not dare to get too close to each other. A rough calculation shows that the leaders of the Kebineng, Fu Luohan, Budugen, Yuyan, Mijia, and Que Ji tribes have led nearly 100,000 troops, not to mention those small nobles who wander around and can't name them. If he can work together, Youzhou will not be able to keep it for four months.

Guo Jiabo heard the strong memory, and immediately drew the general situation in the northwest of Jixian County with a wooden branch under the feet of the two, and pointed to the Zhulu on the northwest edge: "At present, the defenders are also retreating south, and Yan Rou in the east will lead the Wuhuan Department to help them intercept and deal with them...... The general didn't have to worry about Yuyan, but the more than 1,000 defenders who had withdrawn from the chase and the 4,000 Wuhuan cavalry would not be useful for a while. ”

After that, Guo Jia glanced at Yanbei very meaningfully, and the forces they could use were getting smaller and smaller. In addition to Yan Rou, only the two 4,000 battalions of Zhang Nian and Yanbei Headquarters in the north could be driven, and as for the county soldiers who were defending the city, it was difficult for them to draw their bows to hit the enemy fifty paces away, and they were not of great use at all.

Before the Jizhou reinforcements arrived, only these two battalions of soldiers and horses had the combat power to block the enemy.

Yan Bei didn't have this kind of thought, just looked up at the peak, and then looked at the woodland and the plain farther away at his feet, and said according to the distance: "Fengxiao, as long as Kebi can dare to chase down this mountain, Yan will win." ”

Guo Jia looked at the foot of the mountain, they are located in the outer peaks of the west side of the military capital mountain, this halfway mountainside is extremely beneficial to the crossbowmen, and the woodland close to three miles below the mountain can also greatly restrict the cavalry to march, north of Yanshan and south of Taihang, backed by the river valley traffic Jixian, the outside is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the inside is not worried about running out of food. But this is really not a geographical advantage for attacking, it is completely on the defensive, in Guo Jia's opinion, if Kebi can pursue it along the way, he doesn't know if Yanbei can win, but it must be difficult to cross here to Jixian.

The worst result is that Jundu Mountain is surrounded by the Kebineng army.

"But General, this place is easy to bow and crossbow, but it is hidden by wind and sand, as you say, I don't see the enemy, and the enemy can hardly see me. What advantage is there in occupying the mountain peak, but it is a waste of arrows, it is better to retreat seven miles to the river valley to set up an ambush, for a while the wood and stone bows and crossbows are down, even if you can't see clearly, you can cut off the enemy's rear road and hit the enemy's vanguard. Guo Jia's idea is that since there are many enemies, it is unrealistic to win more with less, and it is better to take advantage of the geographical advantage to cut the enemy's troops and horses into two sections, forming a situation of fighting more and fighting less. ”

"Is Bonghyo thinking so? Na Ke can be more likely inferior to you, and you must also think that Yan's rear hand is to garrison the foothills, delay time, and wait for reinforcements to set up an ambush from the river valley. In this way, when Yan retreats, he will be cautious, do a good job of defense, and even go directly over the mountains and mountains without going forward from the river valley. Yan Bei smiled extremely cunningly, stroked his palms and smiled: "Then tell me, how Kebi can attack Jundu Mountain, the mountain is high and windy, and our army's arrows are not even, if he expects me to delay time to set up an ambush in the river valley, he will most likely attack Jundu Mountain, from the dense forest below." ”

Guo Jia listened to Yan Bei's words, his previous frowning gradually stretched, and finally clapped his hands violently and asked, "The general is going to attack here?" ”

"That's right, attack right here!" Yanbei patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, took out a collar of thin armor from the military tent halfway up the mountain and handed it to Guo Jia, "Put it on, the battle to defend the mountain will be very difficult...... Yan hasn't fought a tough battle for a few years. ”

When Yan Bei raised his head and looked at the mountain peak, he could vaguely see the outline of the drums set up by the inspirers he had prepared with his own hands. He knew that these war drums might never sound in this battle, but when they resounded through the Jundu Mountain, this war between Han and Xianbei broke out in the first year of Xingping, and the offensive and defensive positions were easy.

The whistling wind and sand blew through the narrow mountain road connecting the Taihang Mountains in the southwest of Jundu Mountain, and a huge army formation of horses and horses appeared in the wind and sand...... They are Yanbei's reinforcements, and they are going to the back of the Xianbei people.
