On the first day of May, in the early morning, Qingchuan City.

Shao Mulin 100,000 hurriedly reported to Yizhi Wende, because on the south bank of the Dading River was blocked by the Yan Yan control string, the reinforcements not only failed to arrive in Huicheng within the scheduled time, but delayed until dusk to reach the bank of the Dading River. Now that the Yan Yan is on the north bank of the Dading River, if he crosses the river in a hurry, he will be attacked by the Ya people, and the consequences are unpredictable, so Shao Mulin asked Yi Zhi Wende, what should I do next? Is it to cross the river to rescue Huicheng at any cost, or is it Chen Bing on the bank of the Dading River to contain and prevent the Yan Yan to control the strings and attack Qingchuan?

Eji Wende was anxiously waiting for news from Shaomurin, and Shi Xin and Izumi Baicao were accompanying him, and they were also worried. They have learned from Jiang Yiwei's urgent message that the guards of Long Lin fled to Tieshan City and told them in detail the evil news of the betrayal and invasion of the Tatars, and this evil news further confirmed their speculation about the truth of the invasion of the Tatars, there must be a partial division of Middle-earth behind the Tatars, otherwise even if the Tatars take advantage of the fire to rob and invade boldly, they will be cautious and cautious, and will not behave so decisively and ruthlessly, this is not the style of the Tatars with limited strength, but the temperament of the fierce and conceited Middle-earthers.

"General, the enemy's intention is clear, that is, to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and to attack halfway through, so as to consume the Qingchuan defense force to the greatest extent." Quan Baicao said decisively, "Under the current situation, Huicheng is no longer important, the important thing is Qingchuan, it is Pyongyang, but passive defense is the final policy, the slightest carelessness may evolve into a cage trapped beast, can only watch the enemy cut off our retreat, seriously threatening the security of Pyongyang." ”

Previously, the three defenders of Qingchuan had clearly put forward an active defensive strategy of taking the initiative to attack and replace defense with attack, but Etozhi Wende did not support it, and only adopted a compromise plan, ordering Shaomur Lin to lead an army north to support Huicheng in order to probe the opponent's reality. In this unfavorable situation, Quan Baicao continued to insist on active defense, and his intention was very clear, that is, to take the initiative to attack, temporarily set the Qingchuan defense line on the line of the Dading River, and make every effort to block the enemy, not let the enemy surround Qingchuan, and not give the enemy the slightest chance to cut off the water channels of Pyongyang, Qingchuan and Yalu.

Shi Xin followed Quan Baicao and issued a suggestion, "General, this time the goal of Middle-earth is clear, that is, Pyongyang, so they have changed their attack strategy, no longer fighting for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and no longer use their main forces to attack Liaodong, Wugu and other important towns like the previous two times, but besiege but not attack, and their main force is rushing forward at a gallop, and they have already arrived in Yalu Water after only half a month. At this rate of attack, they would soon attack the Yalu Water Line, and if General Jiang wanted to hold the Yalu Water Line until the rainy season came, and held out for a month and a half or more, he would have to get strong support from Pyongyang. If Pyongyang's grain and grass weapons are to be continuously transported to the Yalu water defense line, it must ensure that the passage between Pyongyang and the Yalu water is unimpeded, and this is the important task of Cheongcheon. If Qingchuan wants to accomplish this important task, it must first ensure its own safety, and it must ensure that Qingchuan will not fall into the enemy's encirclement on all sides, and once Qingchuan is surrounded, the passage between Pyongyang and Yalu Water will inevitably be interrupted, so that the Yalu Water defense line will lose support and will inevitably be lost, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Eulzhi Wende stood in front of the map with his hand, thought for a long time, and said, "The biggest difficulty in Middle Earth is the lack of food, grass and weapons, so on the way to the east, you can only burn and plunder, and you can only fight to feed the war, but when you get here, you can ...... "Eulzhi Wende pointed to the Dading River and Sashui on the map, and his fingers drew a circle in the lower reaches of the two rivers, "This is close to Pyongyang, and the defensive force is very strong, they are insurmountable, and they dare not go deep alone, so they can only stop here and attack Qingchuan, Once they capture Cheongcheon and cut off the passage between Pyongyang and Yalu Water, the Yalu Water defense line will be lost, and Pyongyang will be in danger, so Cheongcheon cannot be lost, but if we want to hold Cheongcheon, active defense is important, but more importantly, we must attack the enemy's shortcomings with our own strengths, and we must win the greatest victory at the minimum cost. ”

Etozhi Wende still did not support taking the initiative, but he agreed to actively defend, which greatly boosted the spirits of Shi Xin and Quan Baicao. As long as there are fighters, as long as they can seize the fighters, Ezhi Wende will also fight with all his might, just like the Sashui War the year before last, Echi Wende seized that line of fighters, and created the myth of defeating the strong with the weak and outnumbered.

"General, the enemy's strength is to take it by surprise and attack him unprepared, and they have already done this." Quan Baicao had the intention to seek war, and tried his best to lobby, "So far, we have not been sure that the enemy is on the north bank of the Dading River, which has led to our inability to see through the battle situation, let alone make an accurate response, very passive, but as the general said, the enemy's shortcomings are also obvious, because of the long-distance attack on the road, the enemy is subject to a serious shortage of food and grass weapons, and the number of troops must be limited, even if they are all elites, after such a long march and fighting, they are exhausted and difficult to continue." As for the Middle-earth people, they are just a group of shameless people who fall into the well, they rob when they see meat, and run when they see a strong enemy, and it is impossible for them to go forward and sacrifice their lives for the people of Middle-earth at a critical moment, so the people of the Badgar are the biggest shortcoming of the enemy. ”

Ezhi Wende bowed slightly, as if he was moving.

Quan Baicao and Shi Xin exchanged glances, and Shi Xin immediately spoke, "From what General Shao said it can be seen that the people of the Yan people took the initiative to retreat on the battlefield today, which shows that our speculation about the people of the Yan people has a certain amount of truth. The primary goal of the Tatar people is to survive, is to preserve their strength, and will not fight with us in order to curry favor with Middle-earth, so we have only one real opponent, and the shortcomings are very obvious, there is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and we have to hide under the banner of the Tatar people to find fighters. In that case, why don't we just give our opponent a fighter plane? ”

Yizhi Wende understands and knows what Shi Xin's plan is, but this plan is based on his own speculation, and there is no factual basis at present, so whether it can be implemented and how big the risk is after implementation still needs to be carefully evaluated.

While Etoji Wende was weighing, Izumi Baicao spoke again.

"Today, the people of the Yan Dynasty took the initiative to retreat to the north bank of the Dading River, which seemed to be a half-crossing attack, but in fact it had the intention of exploring the virtual reality. If we are not afraid of danger and attack on a large scale, and even Qingchuan sends more troops to support, it is enough to prove that Qingchuan's defensive strength is strong, otherwise in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for us to take the initiative to attack and actively counterattack, so there will be two changes in the situation of the war. If the enemy who came to attack was only the Tatar people, after finding out our reality and reality, they would definitely not dare to fight a decisive battle with us, and their main force would definitely retreat to the northern foot of the Jiangnan Mountain, waiting for the opportunity to attack; On the contrary, if the main force of the invasion is the Middle-earth army, and the leading battle of the Tatar people is just a bait to tempt us to go to the middle of the plan, then there will be no half-crossing attack, the enemy will lure us to cross the river, and surround us on the north bank of the Dading River, and then we can encircle and annihilate it, and even make a bigger bait to lure more troops from Qingchuan to the north to rescue, and then give Qingchuan a fatal blow to the defense, and finally achieve the goal of easily capturing Qingchuan. ”

This is where the risk lies, once the opponent is a Middle-earth, the Middle-earth people are the bait, and the north bank of the Dading River is a trap, as long as the Shao Mulin crosses the river, he will definitely fall into the encirclement, and once the Middle-earth people use the Shao Mulin as a bait to tempt Qingchuan to send troops to rescue, what should Qingchuan do? To save or not to save?

"This gives us the opportunity to do what we do." Izumi Baicao said confidently, "Our strengths are the enemy's weaknesses, and if we attack the enemy's weaknesses with our own strengths, we will be able to win a battle, and perhaps we will be able to defeat the third invasion of Middle-earth." ”

Even if the number of the Middle-earth army is limited, there are still 20,000 elites, otherwise it is impossible for the Middle-earth tribes to be forced to come out of the nest and attack Goguryeo with the Middle-earth army, and there should be thousands or even nearly 10,000 people in the Middle-earth Army, which can also be confirmed from the news from the domestic city and Longlin City, so purely from the comparison of troops, Shaomurin and his 10,000 reinforcements are at a disadvantage, and the destruction of this army will also deal a heavy blow to the Qingchuan defense line, so it must be rescued, and it is an all-out rescue, To achieve the goal of making plans according to the plan, in turn surround the invading enemy, and annihilate it or give a devastating blow to it with the advantages of its own troops and food, and completely destroy the enemy's attempt to flank the front and rear.

Shi Xin and Quan Baicao are optimistic about this strategy, believing that the risk is within the tolerable range, after all, Qingchuan has 50,000 troops, and the "God of War" Yizhi Wende is sitting in Qingchuan, even if this battle is very hard and has suffered heavy losses, but it ensures the safety of the Yalu water defense line before the rainy season, and can be exchanged for more than two months of precious defense time, and this time directly determines the life and death of Goguryeo, so it is very cost-effective, it is worth it, and there can be no hesitation.

Yizhi Wende weighed it for a long time and finally got moved.

The advantage of their own side is certain, and the enemy's shortcomings are also obvious, first of all, the people are unreliable, and secondly, the long-distance attack soldiers are tired, and there is a serious shortage of food, grass and weapons, and they are eager to fight. Tens of thousands of troops burned, killed, and plundered around Cheongcheon, and even crossed Sashui deep into the vicinity of Pyongyang to burn, kill, and plunder, and the hinterland of Goguryeo was plagued by poison, and the consequences caused by this were so bad that the blow to people's morale could be imagined.

Even if the losses are heavy, the enemy must be dragged under the city of Qingchuan, not giving the enemy a chance to confuse the hinterland of Goguryeo, and do everything possible to minimize the risk of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, so the result of weighing the pros and cons is that the Qingchuan battlefield must obey the entire battle situation of Goguryeo, for this reason, even if the Qingchuan battlefield is fought badly, even if the defensive strategy is incorrect, it must be resolutely implemented and implemented at any cost.

"Order Shaomuro Lin to start crossing the river and attacking this morning."

Yizhi Wende resolutely ordered, then looked at Shi Xin and Quan Baicao, and after a little muttering, he pointed to Quan Baicao, "You go to support Shaomurlin, set off before dawn, follow lightly, hurry up, and be sure to rush to Dading River after noon." ”

Ezhi Wende's order made Shi Xin and Quan Baicao a little surprised and a little puzzled.

After a little hesitation, Izumi Baicao said, "General, how the battle situation will change, we still have to wait for the young general to cross the river before the result, and if our support speed is too fast, it will inevitably backfire, and it will have an unpredictable impact on the battle situation, which may not be conducive to our calculations." ”

Yizhi Wende smiled and said disapprerovingly, "Since the enemy wants to fight, since he wants to fight quickly, then his wish will be fulfilled. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xin and Quan Baicao's blood suddenly surged, and their blood was full of blood. Kill! Kill him all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river!
