Chapter 57: Nine Heavens and Nine Earths

Yique was helpless against Xiangping Jiancheng, and laughed at the defenders under the city for days, hoping to lure Yandong out of the city for field battles. The Yandong tightening suspension bridge did not go out, which further fueled the arrogance of the Xianbei people, and after ordering the army to be stationed outside the city to rest, more than ten teams of cavalry were sent to raid Xiangping Township.

Until the evening, the cavalry team returned to the garrison with a disappointed mood, when the Xianbei army rose from the smoke, Xiangping City suddenly exploded the war drums, the Xianbei soldiers who were a little slack immediately assembled, the nobles of the various departments made their subordinates prepare for the field battle as quickly as possible, only to find that the war drums in the city only sounded for a short moment, the suspension bridge did not move, they were played.

Annoyed, Que Ji sent people to shout and curse under the city, but the defenders threw arrows on the other side of the moat with ten times the number of sandalwood bows, and shot them like hedgehogs. Then, just as they were about to eat, the drums of war exploded again, and Que Ji ignored them, but in exchange for hundreds of defenders rushed out of the city, throwing several arrows. And when the opportunity was ready for battle, these Han troops retreated back into the city again.

Until nightfall, the situation remained unchanged, and the Han army continued to quietly go out of the city at various gates, or feint with great fanfare, which made the Xianbei soldiers and horses fearful all night. Que Ji expected that the Han army in Xiangping City would suddenly go out of the city to meet them in the early morning of the next day when they were exhausted, so he specially left 5,000 warriors to rest in rotation to ensure that they could have the highest combat effectiveness in the early morning.

But until noon, the Han army continued to let the endless feints and intimidation ...... Que Ji recognized their disadvantage, behind the towering and strong city walls, the Han army had more people, manpower and material resources, they were able to take turns to rest, and the large city allowed them to get a good rest even if the west gate beat the drums and the people near the east gate.

These Han people planned to toss him and leave on his own.

Que Ji wanted to make the calculation of Liaodong Taishou in the city fail, and decided to let the whole army rest, lure the enemy out of the city to attack early tomorrow morning, and then wait for an opportunity to win a small victory. His toughest warriors needed sleep and rest, and could no longer be influenced by the Han Chinese.

This is exactly what Yan Dong intended, when the evening glow appeared in the sky, torches were lit prematurely on the west wall of Xiangping City, and there were faint black flags echoing in the forest in the mountains in the distance, the tired Xianbei army did not realize what was happening, and the earth-shattering drums sounded in the city again, and they thought it was just another feint.

But for Yan Dong, this is a real general attack.

Two thousand of the most elite Liaodong athletes and two thousand Xianbei riders fought out from the west gate and the north and south gates respectively, and rushed straight to the Xianbei camp in the west of the city. When it reorganized its formation and more than 10,000 troops overwhelmingly attacked the elite soldiers led by Yandong Suli, the screams of the Wuhuan riders in the northwest behind him were overwhelming, and the army's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

Immediately after, two thousand elite cavalry led by the Southwest Traction Institute also galloped on the battlefield, and swept all the way north from the belly and back of the Que Ji...... There was no time to distinguish the battle situation, and there were cries of Xianbei people everywhere, and Que Ji could not calm down his troops, and it was worth leading the army to the north.

In this battle, Yan Dong and others have been chasing and killing to the bank of the Great Liaoshui River, the battle time is still short, and their own side has not suffered much damage, and the corpses of the enemy are close to 2,000, and there are more than 1,000 prisoners, and the rest of the people are scattered all over the northeast of Liao, and only more than 3,000 people follow Que Jibei to escape from the Great Liaoshui.

Victory!

On the bank of the Liaoshui River, Yan Dong, who was panting, couldn't stand even if he relied on the ring knife, so he could only sit on the river beach without any image, and only after a long time did he look at the direction of Xianbei people's escape and let out a long laugh.

In Yan Dongyao's letter to his brother, he not only wrote the ins and outs of this battle, and the achievements of his meritorious service in the first battle, but also remembered his evaluation of himself.

"My brother said he was the child with the halberd to scare off the hungry wolves!"

The defeat of the Youdong Queji Department made the nobles of the Xianbei tribe think that Liaodong County is not easy to mess with, and they are more willing to attack Youxi, where the state is located. Except for Mika, who was about to take the head of Suli, who was still obsessed with Liaodong, all the minor nobles of the ministry looked at Youbeiping, Yuyang and other places.

During this time, Yanbei did not take the initiative to attack the Xianbei people, and until late April, Sun Qing, the captain who scattered the scouts all over Youxi, still did not bring back much valuable news. There were too many Xianbei soldiers and horses entering the prefecture and county, and those light cavalry that broke away from the attack of the army came and went like the wind, and the slightest carelessness not only failed to catch the prisoners but forced them to question, but they might lose their manpower, so that Sun Qing, the experienced scout leader in the northern part of Yan, did not dare to act rashly.

Immediately followed by the beginning of May, outside the Juyong Pass in Shanggu County in the north of Jixian County has been plundered by the Xianbei army, and the Xianbei Central Lord Kebineng led the army to knock on the pass; In addition, there are more than 10,000 people on the four roads of Xianbei, from Dai County, Shanggu Zhuolu and other places to cross the pass, and plunder all over the place, the situation is critical.

"General, Juyong Pass General Zhang Nian sent a message, saying that as long as there are no enemy troops on his back, he can hold the pass until the spring of next year."

In the capital of Jixian County, Yanbei planned tactics in the dark room according to the known situation of the enemy army, Guo Jia walked quickly from the outside, opened the book and said: "On May 5, Kebineng will attack Juyong Pass, but not down. Then he led a bow from the city to shoot the city tower, and sent a message to the lord to publicly shut down the city, saying that it could save the lives of the people. Zhang Nian shot his horse with a bow from the close, and Yineng was furious, and it was difficult to capture it again. ”

Yan Bei raised his head and laughed when he heard this, and said: "Zhang Nian has 4,000 new soldiers, and he also led 2,000 border guards in Juyong Pass. Kebi can let out big words and want to kill, let's conquer my pass first! ”

Guo Jia saw that Yanbei was in a good mood when he heard the news, so he was relieved. Yan Bei had locked himself in the dark room for a long time, and the lack of intelligence and the difficulty of coming up with an easy way to attack and defend made him a little worried.

"By the way, some time ago, it didn't mean that the Xianbei soldiers and horses of Daijun did not plunder the township after entering the country, but just a passive slack battle of five miles and ten miles a day." Yan Bei raised his head and asked Guo Jia, "Has Sun Qing's message been delivered?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Captain Sun sent a letter back to Ji yesterday, and it has been found out that Xianbei is the big leader Budugen under the central lord Kebineng, and Captain Sun thinks that Budugen can be instigated for my use, so he asked the shogunate to send Sun Zong to Daijun, last night, the lobbyist has already set off, and the general forgot?" ”

"Step root, step root...... He's a descendant of sandalwood locust, right? His father was the son of Sandalwood? Yan Bei frowned and said, "I remember that his brother Putou once fought with Helian's son Jian Man for the country, causing Xianbei to split. ”

"It's not a descendant, Dugen's father is a son of Shihuai." Guo Jiabo heard the strong memory, nodded and said to Yanbei: "If Budugen can be used, the general will have a greater grasp of dealing with Kebineng." ”

The leaders of Han and Xianbei, the collision between Yanbei and Kebineng, in fact, the situation of the two is almost the same, they can only win but not lose, otherwise the prestige that has been accumulated with great difficulty will be greatly damaged.

"Wait for Sun Qing's news, if Bu Dugen can conspire with me, Yan's wind will come." Yan Bei sat cross-legged on the couch, raised his hand and rubbed his swollen eyes, and said: "If there is wind, Yan can soar above the nine heavens and attack the enemy under the nine earths!" ”
