………………………………………………………………………………

War is not simply a war with two groups of people cutting each other, if it is just a simple slashing with each other, no matter how many people there are, it is called a fight.

The reason why war is war is full of wits and courage, and seemingly boring temptation has always been a necessary step in war, in which we guess the thoughts of the head of the enemy's army, and find an opportunity to weaken the enemy, weaken it to a certain extent, and then annihilate it.

Mei Kai was hung behind by the Qin army all the way, and it was not until the 3,000 Qin troops who were hanging when they approached Ye County that they stopped pursuing.

When more than 26,000 people withdrew to Ye County, LΓΌ Zhe issued another order, allowing Mei Kai's troops to enter the city and form a mutual defense with the troops outside the city.

When Mei Kai entered the city, he looked at the city wall, and the city wall of Ye County was not like the angular layout used by Nanling City or the Soldier Fort, but a very traditional long structure, and the height of the city wall was only three zhang. He ordered his troops to settle in the barracks in the city, and he himself took his own soldiers up to the corridor of the city wall.

In a state of imminent battle, the original garrison of Ye County was carrying arrows, wood, stones and other materials to defend the city from the corridor, and in some sections of the city wall, firewood was set up to burn oil pots.

Mei Li went up to the city tower above the city gate, looked down from the height, the north section of the city wall was a busy figure, and when his eyes turned to the city, he saw many Qiantou cleaning up the houses close to the city wall under the command of the soldiers. He looked at the Qianshou very carefully, and found that almost every Qianshou had a nervous expression, obviously the Qianshou did not expect that the county would become a battlefield, and the mentality had not yet stabilized.

West, south, east, these three city walls of Ye County are also preparing for war materials, the city wall of this city is Lu Zhe occupied Nanjun after the original old city wall to build, it is not like Nanling City or the fort will set up a top cover of defensive arrows on the city wall walkway, but the female wall is three feet taller, and a brick arrow tower has been built fifty meters apart.

Quite a few officers were repeating the shouts from the city walls. The content is to teach the soldiers to know how to hide behind the women's wall when the Qin army shoots arrows, and to see the appearance of those soldiers listening attentively, it is very like doing temporary stuff.

Ye County is not a fort for all garrisons, and it is destined to have no way to build a labyrinthine road, so it is destined to defend the city wall with losses, if the city wall is lost and the city gate is lost, then it can only resist in the city's dwellings, but in that case, not only the dwellings are not protected, but the head of Qiantou will definitely suffer.

In fact, Mei Kai really didn't understand, didn't Lu Zhe build the peripheral fort system to block the enemy from outside Nanjun? How to abandon the outer line of defense to block the enemy so quickly. Let the flames of war burn into the city.

The Qin army was attacked by 100,000 troops, but in a short period of time, the Qin army lost more than 14,000 along the way, proving that the troops of Nanjun could compete with the Qin army in the field.

If you have the ability, then why don't you take the initiative to retreat before you really try, and blocking the enemy can avoid the loss of Nanjun. If you return it without even trying, how much damage will it cause to the livelihood of Nanjun, and how much panic will it cause to the psychology of Nanjun's Qianshou?

Zhou Wenhe Diaoding heard that Mei Kai was coming and came into the city on the north city wall to find him, and they saw Mei Kai's face bewildered and unwilling.

After working with Mei Kai for a long time, he had less scruples, and immediately asked: "Why is Min so worried?" ”

Mei Hong turned around and looked. Seeing that the people who came were Diao Ding and Zhou Wen, and seeing that both of them were injured, and it seemed that Zhou Wen was quite seriously injured, and said, "Why don't you rest well if you are injured." Come out and blow the wind? ”

Zhou Wen bowed and retreated to the side, and asked again and again.

"Once all in the master's grasp, where is there any sorrow?" Mei Kai is not a heartless person, how can he arrange Lu Zhe in front of people. He smiled and asked, "I heard that the Lord has arrived in Yan County?" ”

Zhou Wen recycled his gaze to observe the city, and in order to familiarize himself with Mei Kai before the war, he took over the conversation: "Exactly." The Lord has already arrived in Yan County with 70,000 troops. The ladle has also transported 400,000 stone grains back and forth to Yan County. There are soldiers and food. It must not be difficult to block the Qin army in the defense line of Ye County and Yan County. ”

"What's right......" casually perfunctory, Mei Kai asked: "The head of the township has been transferred?" ”

"As early as when I received the news of the Qin army's attack, the lord had already ordered someone to transfer the Qianshou in the township to the city," Zhou Wen had been in Ye County for nearly two days, and basically knew what was going on, "Now there are nearly 30,000 people in the city," pointing to the busy figure under the city, "General Mei and look, it is the Qianshou who has withdrawn to the city who has evacuated to the city to carry the materials for defending the city and the houses that are demolishing the houses and strengthening the fortifications in the city, and some of the old and weak are arranged around the government in the city. ”

Stunned, Mei Kai thought that Lu Zhe would arrange for someone to transfer the head of Qiantou to the rear, but he didn't think that it would be concentrated in the city. He vaguely remembered that Lu Zhe seemed to have an immigration plan, to move the population from the countryside in the north to the newly built Nanling City, and the vicinity of Ye County and Yan County was about to become a war zone, why didn't he move to Nanling City but enter the city nearby?

How did Mei Kai know that at this time and that time, it was still possible for the Qianshou immigrants from Jiangye County and Yan County in non-war times, and now these two counties are facing war, and the Qianshou is not as binding as the army, and it is already fast to be able to walk 20 miles a day. In wartime migration, the probability of being bitten by the Qin army during the period is almost 100%, how to migrate under such conditions?

Nanjun is not an immigration plan, Kuaitong is now doing such a thing in the rear, he has transferred 160,000 to Nanling City within three days, and it is expected that more than 300,000 people from Yan County to the south will be successfully transferred within two months.

On the left and right sides of Ye County and Yan County, Ji Bu and Yi Flail also each took a thousand Lu Zhe's Qin army to cooperate with the local garrison to arrange the transfer, but compared to Kuaitong's operation in the rear, what they had to do now was to relieve the tension of Qianshou and delay the time for Qianshou to move backwards. For this reason, within three days, Jibu and the winged flail had already mobilized violent machines to execute some of the people who shouted fiercely for disturbing the place.

Lu Zhe stopped at Yan County to build a defense line, in fact, preventing civil unrest in the north is the most important thing at this stage, otherwise he should have left his troops and personally rushed to Ye County, the northernmost part of Nan County, instead of staying in Yan County.

The transportation of Yan County is developed, and the news of Nan County, including Cangwu County and Hengshan County, can also be delivered quickly, in addition to this special stage, Lu Zhe cannot ignore the news from other places.

Before the Qin army went south, the south was stirred up by the rumors of the Xiang clan, not to mention where the Xiang clan would point the spearhead when he gathered 200,000 troops, and Lu Zhe of Changsha County and Lujiang County did not dare to relax their surveillance.

Wu Rui of Changsha County is dying on the front line of Xiangshui and the four clans coalition army, and it is unknown whether he can withstand it, but seeing that Wu Rui is willing to do even the matter of joining Lu Zhe and asking for reinforcements, it can be seen that Wu Rui has little confidence that he can withstand the attack of the four clan coalition forces, and it is not good that Lu Zhe's side has not yet separated the victory from the Qin army, and Wu Rui will lead people to flee to Nanjun.

Huan Chu on the side of Lujiang County is still hesitating between falling to Lu Zhe and Xiang Liang, if the 200,000 troops gathered by the Xiang clan are not directed at Jiujiang County and claiming to attack Chen County, but the front of the army is directed at Lujiang County of Huan Chu, it is conceivable that Lu Zhe has no army to adjust now, and it is not surprising that Huan Chu will return to Xinchu when Xiang Liang's 200,000 army is approaching.

It is very possible for Xiang Liang to take advantage of the battle between Lu Zhe and the Qin army to force Lujiang County, as long as Lujiang County returns to Xinchu, then Xiang will be able to entrench in the three counties and use Lujiang County as a base for advancement, and it will be much easier to spy on Jiujiang County, Hengshan County, Nanjun County, and Changsha County at that time.

It is estimated that Xiang has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, otherwise he would not have made so much effort to stir up the situation.

If the Xiang clan stops at Lujiang County at a little yin and watches Lu Zhe and the Qin army fight for both sides, if the overall situation is considered, they will definitely force Lu Zhe to return to Chu again, no matter how they choose, it will be beneficial to the Xiang clan.

Of course, those are just Lu Zhe's own guesses, but he really has to guard against them. He doesn't have a good way now, what he can do is to fight Sima Xin all the way in Nanjun, and then send troops back to the rear to deter.

There are two ways to quickly divide the victory and defeat, one is field warfare, but Lu Zhe really doesn't have much confidence in this, even if he knows that the 100,000 Qin troops in the south only have 60,000 soldiers and the rest are auxiliaries, he doesn't think that only 30,000 soldiers can compete with the Qin army in the field. Then the only choice is to attract all the Qin troops to the defense line of Ye County and Yan County, and wait for the common lieutenant to lead the army to insert in the rear of Sima Xin, and then use superior forces to attack him on both sides.

There is a plan, but it is just a plan, whether it can really be realized or not no one dares to pack a ticket, for this reason Lu Zhe also prepared another strange army, that is, the Cangwu garrison led by Luo Shao and Wu Liang.

To be honest, since Lu Zhe agreed with Luo Shao to gather the Baiyue barbarians into an army, he didn't know how many people the Cangwu County Department would swell. Under his deployment, Luo Shao and Wu Liang either surrendered or killed the remaining 6,000 Qin troops, and after solving the problem, they should immediately rush to Tong County.

In addition to those forces in Huaxia, Ouyue's counterattack is also a hidden danger, Yihu Song was preparing to take revenge on the deaths and injuries of the Baiyue people in Nanjun early on, and then there was Lu Zhe's huge plundering of Baiyue's Qianzhong County, Yihu Song didn't know what situation Lu Zhe would face, but if he knew, he would definitely intervene.

In this situation, Lu Zhe knew that he had not yet reached the point of life and death, but the situation of internal and external difficulties was slowly forming, if he did not quickly solve the Qin army going south, or could not solve it or even defeated, then there was really no other way to go except to take refuge in Xinchu.

It depends on Xiang's speed, how long Wu Rui can stand, and whether Yan Bi can stabilize Huan Chu, too many things are stirred together, and the situation is out of control is the beginning of the collapse of the tarot cards.

Under these circumstances, the main force of 60,000 Qin troops led by Sima Xin entered the boundary of Nanjun after a four-day march, and joined the remnants of Shaoai on time on the same day. (To be continued......)
