Chapter 751: Murong Ke goes south
Hearing this, Hua An frowned and thought about it, according to the arrangement of the enemy's and our forces around Jinyang City, the grain route of Jinyang City has been completely cut off, and the attempt of the Yan Dynasty coalition army seems to be to trap the Xie Ai Legion, so as to obtain the greatest result with the smallest loss.
"The strength of the Yan Dynasty coalition army is nearly three times that of the defenders of Jinyang City, and General Xie Ai is under a lot of pressure!" Hua An sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, the shape of Jinyang City is already in jeopardy, and our army should do everything possible to reinforce Jinyang City." Wang San pleaded softly.
Hua An nodded and said, "Isn't our army here to reinforce Jinyang City?" However, the strength of the Yan Dynasty coalition army cannot be underestimated, even if our army reinforces Jinyang City, we must carefully study the countermeasures, after all, the strength of our army is in a relatively weak position, in case of carelessness, it will be lost. ”
"Your Majesty, we have been studying for many days, we can't keep delaying like this, if the army of Jinyang City runs out of food, it will be very bad." Wang San said anxiously.
Hearing this, Hua An frowned in the big tent of the Chinese army, pacing his steps, because he couldn't figure out Murong Ke's true intentions, he didn't dare to rush to Jinyang City to reinforce, lest the more than 200,000 troops be completely surrounded by the Yan Dynasty coalition army.
"Report, Your Majesty, General Xie sent an urgent report." Just when Hua'an was very worried, a small colonel ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and handed Xie Ai's handwritten letter to Hua'an.
Hua An subconsciously thought that this was Xie Ai's urgent report for help, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened the letter to watch, but after reading it, he was greatly relieved.
"Your Majesty, is it General Xie's urgent document?" Wang San asked anxiously.
Hua An shook his head and said, "General Xie wants to take the initiative to attack the Dai Guo army." The king was asked to try to contain Murong Ke's main army to prevent Murong Ke's main army from forcibly crossing Fenshui and launching an attack on Jinyang City. ”
When Wang San heard this, he was greatly surprised, and said suspiciously: "There are not many soldiers and horses under General Xie Ai, and after they are arranged in all directions, there are only tens of thousands of weak soldiers left in Jinyang City, how can they have enough strength to attack the army of Daiguo." ”
Hua An frowned and thought for a moment, and said softly: "General Xie didn't elaborate in the letter, but. Since General Xie has this determination. There must be his way, our army only needs to try to contain Murong Ke's main army. ”
"Your Majesty, how should our army act?" Wang San asked.
Hua An ordered softly: "Order the whole army to continue to advance thirty miles north." Make a gesture of raiding Murong Ke's main army. And so it goes. Murong Ke would never dare to let the main army force cross the Fenshui. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San clenched his fists and said.
After some necessary preparations, Hua An led the main army under his command. The camp continued to march north, and stationed less than fifty miles away from Jinyang City, and launched a surprise attack here, and the cavalry could reach the camp of Murong Ke's army in less than a day, so it was definitely a big threat to Murong Ke's main army, so that it could prevent Murong Ke's army from forcibly crossing Fenshui on a large scale, and plan for Xie Ai's army's attack on the Daiguo army.
#####
On the east bank of Fenshui, Murong Ke learned that the Hua'an Legion was less than fifty miles away from the location of his camp, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, although the strength of the soldiers and horses under his command was stronger than that of the Hua'an Legion, but he could not relax his vigilance against the Hua'an Legion.
"Fourth brother, Hua An personally led an army of 110,000 troops, which is less than fifty miles away from our army's camp, isn't this exactly what our army expects? Our army should immediately attack and attack the Hua'an Army to avenge the revenge of an arrow on the south bank of Zhangshui. Murong Ba shouted for his life.
"General, give the order! The last general is willing to be a pioneer. A general of the Yan Army clenched his fists and asked for his life.
Murong Ke thought for a moment, and said: "Bingzhou is mountainous, the location where the main force of the Jin army is stationed, and the back is against the mountains, as long as our army launches an attack, the Jin army is likely to retreat into the mountains, so that the large-scale cavalry of our army will not be able to give full play to its advantages, which is what the general is most worried about." ”
"Fourth brother, our army has the advantage of strength, even if we can't give full play to the advantage of cavalry, we can still defeat the Jin army." Murong Ba said loudly.
"Yes! General, if the Jin army blindly avoids the war, our army can send a group of soldiers and horses to cut off the grain route of the Jin army, so that the Jin army will be scattered due to the lack of food. A general of the Yan Army said loudly.
Hearing this, Murong Ke nodded, and ordered: "Leave 10,000 troops to garrison the camp, and the rest of the main forces will immediately prepare for battle, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, General." The generals of the Yan Army responded with their fists in response.
After the generals of the Yan army left the big tent of the Chinese army, Murong Ke began to carefully observe the terrain near the camp of the Jin army, thinking about Hua'an's possible intentions, and considering how to inflict heavy damage on the Hua'an army.
Early in the morning of the second day, the main army under the command of Murong Ke was all assembled, and Murong Ke left 10,000 troops to garrison the camp, personally led the 160,000 main cavalry, and marched in the direction of due south.
Murong Ke's goal was naturally the main force of the Jin army under Hua An, and he wanted to personally lead the main army to defeat the main force of the Jin army in order to avenge the revenge on the south bank of Zhangshui.
The main force of the Yan army, 160,000 men, marched southward, which was naturally quickly discovered by the scouts under Hua'an's command, and immediately reported to Hua'an.
Knowing that Murong Ke personally led the main army of 160,000 and killed with great momentum, Hua An immediately summoned his subordinates to study countermeasures, in fact, Hua An had a premonition that Murong Ke would attack him, but he was not sure.
In Hua'an's Chinese army tent, all the troops will be gathered and wait for Hua'an's instructions.
Hua An looked at the generals and said loudly: "Generals, Murong Ke personally led 160,000 main cavalry to kill our army's camp, whether our army is fighting or withdrawing, what do the generals think?" ”
Wang San first hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the strength of our army is less than that of Murong Ke's main army, but it may not necessarily lose to Murong Ke, if our army blindly retreats, it will greatly damage the morale of the army, and the general will think that he should fight with the Yan army." ”
"Your Majesty, our army cannot retreat, but if it is a head-on confrontation, our army will definitely not be able to take advantage, in order to defeat Murong Ke's main army, our army should take advantage of the geographical advantage to offset Murong Ke's military advantage, so as to ensure that our army is invincible." Zhuge Xiong clenched his fists and said.
"Your Majesty, our army has a mountain behind it to rely on, and it will definitely not lose to Murong Ke." Deng Qiang also built a battle with Murong Ke.
Seeing that the subordinate generals all asked for a battle with Murong Ke, Hua'an naturally would not object, after all, if he blindly avoided the battle, the blow to the morale of the army would be huge, and only by fighting with Murong Ke's main army could he well cope with the attack of the Xie Ai army on the army of Daiguo.
"Since all the generals have asked to go to war, then have a good fight with Murong Ke, pass the order, and let the whole army prepare for war immediately." Hua An ordered loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers will lead in unison.
Although Hua An had already made up his mind to fight with Murong Ke's main cavalry, Hua An did not intend to fight hard with Murong Ke, but to adopt a strategy of outwitting.
Since Murong Ke's main cavalry was not far from the Jin army's main camp, Hua An immediately ordered his army to enter combat readiness and sent more scouts to investigate Murong Ke's main army's every move.
Hua An led the main army under his command and stationed himself in a favorable terrain, and soon one of the scouts rode back and reported the enemy situation to Hua An.
"Report, Your Majesty, the 30,000 forward cavalry of the Yan army has arrived five miles away and stopped, and the main force of the Yan army is only fifteen miles away." The scout dismounted.
"Your Majesty, it must be the scouts of the Yan army who discovered the main force of our army, so they did not dare to continue to move forward, but stopped and waited for the main army in the rear." Wang San opened his mouth to analyze.
Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, the situation must be like this, this is an opportunity, General Deng Qiang, do you have the confidence to win the Yan army's 30,000 forward soldiers." ”
When Deng Qiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "The king can rest assured, 30,000 against 30,000, how can the last general be afraid of the Yan army, and the last general is willing to fight." ”
"Okay, General Deng Qiang, you immediately lead the 30,000 cavalry under your command to fight, remember, you must play the majesty of our army, and in case you find that the main force of the Yan army has arrived, you must not fall in love with the battle, and retreat immediately." Hua An ordered loudly.
Deng Qiang hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the king will know what to do." After speaking, he rode forward and shouted: "Soldiers, follow the generals and rush to the ......."
Under the leadership of Deng Qiang, the cavalry of 30,000 passes slaughtered the forward cavalry of the Yan army.
The 30,000 forward cavalry of the Yan army was personally led by Murong Ba, and after he found the main force of the Jin army, he stopped and waited for Murong Ke's main army, after all, he knew that the 30,000 cavalry under his command was not the opponent of the main force of the Jin army at all, so he naturally would not attack the main force of the Jin army recklessly.
"General, the cavalry of the Jin army is here." A Yan army general reminded in a low voice.
Murong Ba looked up and saw that the 30,000 cavalry of the Jin army were killing in a mighty way, which made him wonder in his heart, the main force of the Jin army was less than five miles, why only 30,000 cavalry were sent to fight.
"General, our army is fighting or retreating." A general, please.
Murong Ba glanced at his generals and said loudly: "The Jin army is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, why should our army retreat, pass the order down, and let the soldiers prepare for battle." ”
"Yes, General." The general hurriedly responded, and immediately prepared the army under his command to fight.
Soon, Deng Qiang and his 30,000 cavalry rushed to the front of Murong Ba's army, and the distance between the two sides was only a stone's throw away.
Seeing that the other party was Murong Ba, Deng Qiang shouted: "Murong Ba, you and I both have 30,000 troops, dare to fight?" ”
When Murong Ba heard this, he said angrily: "Why don't you dare, is Ben still afraid that you won't succeed." ”
"Okay, you and I will fight happily, kill ......" Deng Qiang roared and took the lead in attacking. (To be continued......)
