Chapter 817: Secret Song

Soon, in the Yan army camp, a huge bonfire was lit, and the Yan soldiers in the camp were busy packing up all kinds of supplies and gradually began to evacuate, and the soldiers responsible for conveying the order immediately rode to the north bank of Yishui to convey the order to withdraw the army.

On the north bank of Yishui, the soldiers and horses of the Jin army with the main force of the pro-guard army launched a fierce attack on the defending Yan defenders, because the elite soldiers and horses of the Yan army were fiercely fighting with the Xie Ai army in the direction of Fanyang City, for this reason, the soldiers and horses of the Yan State defending the north bank of Yishui were not the opponents of the Jin army at all, and in the battle, they were defeated one after another, and lost most of the area of the defense line.

Seeing that he was unable to stop the Jin army's attack, Murong Ke's withdrawal order was sent to the north bank of Yishui in time, and the Yan army soldiers who were in charge of defense immediately retreated in the direction of Jicheng in accordance with Murong Ke's order, and gave up the Yishui defense line to the Jin army soldiers.

The soldiers and horses of the Yan army, who were responsible for defending the north bank of Yishui, quickly retreated, and the soldiers of the Jin army who had arrived on the north bank of Yishui seized the opportunity to quickly pursue the retreating Yan soldiers and horses, and won a lot.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Fanyang City, Murong Ba, who was fighting with Xie Ai's army, saw a fire burning in the direction of the Yan army's camp, and immediately understood that the Yishui defense line had been broken through by the main force of the Jin army.

Xie Ai was fully commanding his soldiers and horses to fight a bloody battle with Murong Ba, and when he saw Murong Ba taking the initiative to evacuate quickly, he immediately understood that something big must have happened in the direction of Yishui, otherwise, Murong Ba would not take the initiative to evacuate without being at a disadvantage, and. The direction of Murong Ba's withdrawal was in the direction of Jicheng, which was enough to show that the Yishui defense line of the Yan army's army had been fully broken through by the main army under Hua'an.

"General, the army of the Yan Kingdom has retreated on all fronts, has our army launched a pursuit?" One of the generals looked at Xie Ai and asked loudly.

Seeing that the army of the Yan Kingdom was completely dispersed and fled, Xie Ai said loudly: "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately launch a pursuit." ”

Immediately, under the order of Xie Ai. Command an army of 60,000. launched a fierce pursuit against the elite army of the Yan State that had fled, but the army of the Yan State was all cavalry, and Xie Ai had less than 20,000 cavalry under his command. For this. The pursuit lasted only a few miles before it stopped.

Now. The main force of the Yan State was evacuated on all fronts, while the soldiers and horses of the Jin army were pressing step by step, forcing in the direction of Jicheng, the capital of the Yan State.

Due to the large number of soldiers and horses of the Jin army. Therefore, it was impossible to cross Yishui in a short period of time, so they had to assemble on the north bank of Yishui and wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses.

Hua'an, who was standing on the high platform on the south bank of Yishui, saw that his soldiers and horses broke through the Yishui defense line and defeated the defending Yan army, so he was naturally very happy, and immediately stepped off the high platform, led a team of personal guards, and rode his horse to the north bank of Yishui.

Soon, Hua'an arrived at the north bank of Yishui, and asked his army to set up a large tent of the Chinese army at the location of the Yan army camp.

It didn't take long for all the generals under Hua'an's command to arrive at Hua'an's Chinese army tent one after another, and report to Hua'an on the battle situation ahead.

Seeing that the officers and men of all armies had good successes, Hua An was very happy, and greatly praised the generals under his command, asking them to make persistent efforts to establish greater meritorious achievements.

"Your Majesty, now that the main army of Yan has fled in the direction of Jicheng, the soldiers and horses of the army have been scattered at least thirty percent, in a short period of time, I am afraid that we will not be able to recover their vitality, this is a good opportunity for our army to launch a pursuit, our army should immediately continue to attack, do not give the main army of Yan a chance to breathe, and capture Jicheng in one fell swoop." Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the morale of our army is high, but the morale of the Yan army is low, our army has achieved an absolute superiority in strength, and the Yan army is no longer an opponent at all, just continue to attack, you can capture Jicheng in one fell swoop." Wang San also thinks so.

When Hua An heard this, he was greatly satisfied, thought for a moment, looked at Wang Meng, and said, "General Wang, in your opinion, what should our army do?" ”

After all, Wang Meng's consideration of the problem is far-reaching, so Huaan wants to ask Wang Meng's opinion.

Wang Meng thought for a moment, and said, "In one go, capture Jicheng." After speaking, he nodded to Hua'an.

Since even Wang Meng fully supported the final attack on Yan State, Hua'an naturally would not miss such a God-given opportunity, so he immediately ordered: "The whole army will rest overnight and pursue in the direction of Jicheng tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that Hua'an had made up his mind, the generals would answer loudly.

Subsequently, Hua'an was in the big tent of the Chinese army, and his subordinates would study the next offensive plan, although at this time, the strength of the Yan army had been greatly damaged, but it was still a force to be reckoned with, for this reason, Hua'an still did not dare to take it lightly, and carefully prepared.

Dozens of miles downstream of Yishui, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses of Pujian's army were still in a confrontation with the 30,000 Dai Guojun under the command of Tuoba Shiyiqian.

However, there was no grudge between Pu Jian and Tuoba Shiyigan, and neither wanted to fight head-on, so Pu Jian sent his henchmen to Tuoba Shiyigan's camp to negotiate secretly with Tuoba Shiyigan to agree on how to preserve his strength.

Tuoba Shiyiqian did not trust Pu Jian, but he was very interested in Pu Jian's construction, and thought that Pu Jian's construction was in line with their common interests, so he also sent his own henchmen to communicate with Pu Jian secretly.

At the moment when the main army of Hua'an and the army of Yan under the command of Murong Ke were engaged in a fierce duel, Pu Jian and Tuoba Shiyiqian played the game of peaceful coexistence and watching the tiger fight.

Of course, Hua An and Murong Ke have heard of this little bit of kitty between Pu Jian and Tuoba Shi Yiqian, but at this time, the Yan army and the Jin army are fighting fiercely, for this reason, whether it is Hua'an or Murong Ke, they don't want to offend Pu Jian and Tuoba Shi Yiqian, and they can only turn a blind eye to the eyebrows between the two, after all, the soldiers and horses of Pu Jian and Tuoba Shi Yiqian are 80,000 people together, if they all defect to Yan State, the absolute strength advantage of the Jin army will no longer exist. And if these 80,000 horses are attached to the Jin army, the Yan State will face a comprehensive catastrophe, not only Jicheng will not be able to defend, but even the entire Youzhou and Pingzhou will be lost.

And Pu Jian and Tuoba Shiyigan also saw this, and for this reason, when the Jin army and the Yan army were engaged in a bloody battle, they blatantly secretly made a secret tune, and made the behavior of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

However, after the main force of the Jin army broke through the Yishui defense line and defeated the Yan army, the relationship between the two sides suddenly became tense after it was reported to the lower reaches of Yishui.

After all, the reason why they were able to unscrupulously secretly communicate was because the Yan army and the Jin army were in a comprehensive confrontation, and no one could defeat the opponent comprehensively, and now, the situation of strength and weakness has changed significantly, after the Yishui defense line was broken through, the Yan army was at least thirty percent of the soldiers and horses, and the Jin army soldiers were morale high, when the two sides were about to divide the victory and defeat, Pu Jian began to be afraid, he was afraid that the Jin army would find his bad luck after attacking and destroying the Yan country, and, It is very likely that he is guilty of secretly communicating with the army of the country.

For his own benefit, Pu Jian planned to lead his army and launch a military operation across Yishui to prove to Hua'an that he was truly subordinate.

After discussing with his generals, Pu Jian sent some of his soldiers to prepare various materials for building pontoon bridges, and put the army under his command in a state of combat readiness.

The Jin army broke the army of Yan and broke through the Yishui defense line, after this matter reached the ears of the acting king Tuoba Shi Yiqian, it made him extremely nervous, Yan and Dai were allies, and the complete defeat of the Yan army was a great disadvantage to him, because, once the Yan country fell, the Jin army was completely invincible, and his plan to recover Shengle City could not be implemented.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Pu Jian army is preparing materials to build a pontoon bridge, and the army under his command is also preparing for war, and it seems that there is an attempt to attack our army." Just when Tuoba Shiyiqian was worried, a small colonel rushed into the Chinese army's tent and reported loudly.

Tuoba Shiyiqian was furious when he heard this, and said loudly: "Pu Jian, a vertical man, actually dares to go back on his word, is this king still afraid that he will not succeed." After saying that, he was still full of anger.

"The king is angry, in the opinion of the last general, Pu Jian does not want to attack our army, but the form is forced, and it has to be so, besides, now, the main force of the Jin army has crossed Yishui, and it is meaningless for our army to defend here, it is better to sell face to Pu Jian, and when he launched the crossing of Yishui, our army immediately took the initiative to evacuate." A general on behalf of the country, loudly said.

"Yes! Wang, the main force of the Jin army has crossed Yishui, and it is possible to launch an attack in the direction of our army's camp at any time, and our army must withdraw immediately. Another acting army general said loudly.

When Tuoba Shiyiqian heard this, he felt that there was some truth, paused, and said, "Okay! After the order was given, the whole army immediately packed up and withdrew in the direction of Jicheng two hours later. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals clenched their fists and led the way.

In fact, when Tuoba Shiyiqian heard that the main force of the Jin army broke through the Yishui defense line, he was already thinking about evacuating in the direction of Jicheng, but, as the king of a country, it is not good to give a direct order.

In the camp of Pu Jian's army, the soldiers under Pu Jian's command have prepared enough materials to build a pontoon bridge, and are ready to launch an attack on the other side of Yishui at any time.

"General, the Daiguo army on the other side has begun to gradually withdraw." Just before Pu Jian ordered the attack, the news of the withdrawal of the Dai Guoda army came from the other side. (To be continued......)
