The news of Prince Dan's killing soon spread to Dai County, and after Gao Yuan learned about it, he also sighed, it turned out that he also hoped that Prince Dan could return to Jijing, lead the Yan army to resist for a while, and also consume the strength of the Qin army, so that the future generation army raided Jijing, it would be easier, but now it seems that there is no hope for the Yan army.

Although the plateau does not know what happened in Yan State now, it is also very clear that once Prince Dan dies, no one in the entire Yan Kingdom will probably be able to come forward to organize the army and civilians to resist the attack of the Qin army, so the Qin army can basically capture Jijing without much effort.

However, when Gao Yuan formulated the plan to raid Jijing, although he also hoped that the Yan army could consume the strength of the Qin army, he did not count the resistance of the Yan army in the plan, so the changes in Yan did not affect the implementation of the plan of the plateau.

Just three days ago, Sima Shang and Chen Shi led the men and horses from Daijun. The men and horses included two corps of Shanggu and Yunzhong, a total of eight corps, with a strength of 50,000 troops, and two armies of about 10,000 people were transferred from the Yanmen Legion, and at the same time, the plateau also divided a detachment from the Fan Yong Army, with 5,000 men and horses, plus seven new armies formed by recruitment, the total strength was about 100,000.

Moreover, Sima Shang and Chen Zhi after serious discussion, the battle plan of the plateau was refined and deepened, and the two believed that the 100,000 horses that raided the Yan Kingdom could be divided into two routes, and Sima Shang led 30,000 horses, mainly cavalry, traveled lightly, and went around to the canyon in the northeast and north of Jijing to ambush, preparing to raid Jijing; And Chen Shi led the remaining 70,000 horses from Shanggu County, marched along the water control, and attacked Jijing from the west, attracting the attention of the Qin army. The two groups of men and horses echoed and cooperated with each other to achieve the final combat goal of the raid on Jijing.

Gao Yuan examined the detailed plan put forward by the two and believed that this plan was completely feasible, because attracting the attention of the Qin army with a large number of troops, and waiting for an opportunity to assault Jijing with a small number of elite troops, could be lightly armed, strengthen the concealment of the assault, and achieve the effect of taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared.

Seeing that Gao Yuan approved his own plan, Sima Shang immediately divided his troops with Chen Shi, led by Sima Shang, the Weicai Army, the Xiaowu Army, the Pingyuan Army, and the Guangde Army of the Shanggu Army, plus the Weibian Army of the Yanmen Army, and the Fan Yong Army had a total of six armies, consisting of two full cavalry armies and four mixed armies, with a total of 30,000 horses, and raided Jijing. Not only were all the infantry equipped with war horses, but also the army did not carry vehicles, and 30,000 war horses were equipped to carry food and supplies for them.

Chen Zhi led the remaining 70,000 horses and horses to send troops from Shanggu County, originally Chen Zhi planned to make a big show and fanfare to attract the attention of the Qin army, but Gao Yuan thought that this was to cover up and be self-defeating. Because Wang Jian is a famous general in the world, proficient in the art of war, he will not fail to understand that "if you want to be strong, you will show weakness; If you want to be weak, you should show it to be strong", so if Chen Shi goes too far, it will definitely arouse Wang Jian's suspicion.

Therefore, Gao Yuan Jian yì Chen Zhi led the army, and also marched in accordance with the requirements of the raid, and tried to hide his whereabouts along the way, not to make a noise, because Wang Jian was cautious in the way of using troops, and would never fail to guard against the army, and would definitely send a large number of spies to pay close attention to the direction of Shanggu County, and the whereabouts of the 70,000 army could not be hidden at all, and it was reasonable to let the Qin army develop its own army.

After Chen Shi listened, it suddenly dawned on him that Gao Yuan was indeed more thoughtful than himself, so he also acted according to Gao Yuan's opinion.

All the details of the plan were completed, Sima Shang and Chen Shi bid farewell to the plateau and set off separately, and on the line of Daijun, the plateau also decided to lead the army and set off to Hongshangsai to meet the Qin army.

Just more than ten days ago, Jiang Huan Wu had already led the two armies of the Wu'an Legion, Weiqi and Fanyong, plus the two newly formed armies from Daijun, and rushed to Hongshangsai to garrison, plus the two armies of Qingshuo and Shengjie that were originally stationed in Hongshangsai, a total of about 30,000 horses.

This time, the plateau set out from Daijun, and transferred four armies from the Wu'an Legion, including Xiaocai, Beiwei, Women's Army, and Scout, and two armies of Jinyong and Fengjie from the Yanmen Legion, plus the newly recruited 16 armies, with a total of about 125,000 men and horses, and a total of more than 150,000 men and horses to meet the Qin army.

In Daijun, there were still four armies of the Wu'an Army, namely the Jinyong Army, the Fengjie Army, the Shenji Army, and the Weining Army, and the newly recruited ten armies were garrisoned, totaling more than 80,000 people, as a reserve and rotation of troops, and responsible for the supply of grain and grass materials.

The government affairs of Dai County were all handed over to Ning Qi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong to deal with them, and this time Li Yinghong went out with the plateau and did not stay in Dai County to preside over government affairs, because Hongshangsai is not far from Daijun, and there is a perfect road post station transportation system. Therefore, there is no need for Li Yinghong to stay in Daijun this time.

Among the wives and concubines of the plateau, Yun Yao also went on the expedition with the plateau, she was responsible for managing all the personnel of the Bailing clan, during this time, the people of the Bailing clan tamed eight hundred and nine beasts of all kinds, namely four hundred and thirty-three wolves, two hundred and sixteen leopards, eighty-seven tigers, and seventy-three bears. Wolves account for more than half of the population, because wolves make up the vast majority of the population in the grasslands.

Such a large army of beasts consumes at least four hundred sheep or eighty cattle every day, which is a huge consumption, but fortunately, the animal husbandry of Daijun is developing rapidly, so that there is no shortage of food for these beasts.

However, the supply of food for the Beast Legion is not a big problem, but it is impossible for the Beast Legion to live with the large group of people, so it can only walk separately from the army and be stationed alone, while the two Zhushi of the White Spirit Clan stay in Daijun and do not go out with the army, so it is most suitable for Yun Yao to lead the other Bai Ling people, and they must live with the Bai Ling people.

Gao Yuan did not object to this, but just pulled out a three hundred guards from the scout army and paid the responsibility to protect the people of the Bailing Clan, because although the people of the Bailing Clan can train beasts for treatment, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they need to be guarded, and Li Yinghong also pulled out fifty female soldiers from the female army, led by Han Xiurong, to protect Yun Yao's safety.

In addition, the people who went out with the plateau also included Chun Yubo, Chun Yuzhongxiu, father and daughter. And Guigu Yu still stayed in Daijun, and the two Zhushi of the Bailing clan secretly sat in the town to prevent Han Teng's masters from sneaking into Daijun City to make trouble.

After everything was arranged, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong led the army, set off from the generations, and rushed to Hongshangsai.

Three days later, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong led the men and horses to Hongshangsai, and the other armies also arrived one after another, each stationed at the designated place, and Jiang Huanwu went out of the fortress to greet Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong and his party.

Hongshang Saiben is the northern border pass of Zhao State, built between the valleys of the two mountains, relying on the mountain terrain of the Hengshan Mountain Range and built, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but later Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot the law, so that the strength of Zhao State greatly increased, annihilated Lou Annoyance, and Hulin, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, set up four counties in Yunzhong, Yanmen, Dai and Shanggu, expanded more than 1,000 miles, only to make Hongshang Sai into the pass within the territory.

However, after the plateau entered the Daijun, it also made the Hongshangsai become important again, and in the past few years, the plateau has been building the Hongshangsai, and within the range of about 20 miles outside the Hongshangsai, two outer fortifications have been built, which has also made the defense line of the Hongshangsai stronger. It can be said that as long as there are tens of thousands of troops stationed here and there is enough food supply, Hongshang can withstand a million troops.

After the group entered the fortress, Jiang Huanwu reported to the plateau the battle situation since he had been stationed in Hongshangsai.

After Jiang Huanwu stationed in Hongshangsai, the Qin army also gathered more than 100,000 men and horses in Jingcheng, and advanced in the direction of Hongshangsai, and built many fortress garrisons along the way to protect the logistics supply line of the Qin army.

In fact, the Dai army also stationed troops outside the Hongshangsai defense line, and established a camp, but the number of troops is not much, each camp is a thousand people as a unit, the main purpose is of course not to block the Qin army, but to contain and delay the Qin army's march. Therefore, when the Qin army's army arrived, these garrison soldiers abandoned the camp and fled, returning to the defense line of Hongshangsai. Now the Qin army has descended from the village about ten miles outside the defense line of Hongshangsai and pushed the front of the army to the edge of Hongshangsai.

And after Jiang Huanwu arrived at Hongshangsai, he also led the army to attack in accordance with the requirements of the plateau, and fought several battles with the Qin army, the scale of the battle was not large, it was a battle of thousands of people, and the two sides won and lost each other, but on the whole, the Dai army still had a slight upper hand, and these battles came down, and a total of more than 600 Qin troops were killed, and their own losses were only more than 400 people. Because the current generation army has established a set of tactics with the cavalry as the core, if the battle is smooth, it will take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, and the cavalry will pursue bravely; If it doesn't go well, withdraw the army immediately, and with the cover of the cavalry, the men and horses will not lose too much.

Although the cavalry of the Qin army had also completed the change of new horse furniture at this time, there was still a considerable gap compared with the cavalry of Daijun, and it was not enough to completely compete with the cavalry of Daijun. Therefore, on the battlefield, it is impossible to effectively restrain the cavalry-centered tactics of the representative army.

However, after these battles, Jiang Huanwu also admitted that the advantage of the Dai Army's cavalry had been greatly weakened, and it was impossible to think that he could fight against the Qin army, which was four or five times more than his own, as before, and could easily win. If the number of Qin cavalry is more than double that of the Dai army, it will be difficult for the Dai army to win.

After listening to Jiang Huanwu's speech, Gao Yuan also nodded, the progress of the Qin army's cavalry was also expected by him, after all, the hope of victory could not be pinned on the stagnation of the Qin army. And it's not like there are no new hole cards in Gao Yuan's hand.

And listening to Gao Yuan's story about what happened in Jijing, and learning that Tai Xiaodan died at the hands of the clan clan of Yan Kingdom, Jiang Huanwu couldn't help but sigh, it seems that Yan Guo is indeed hopeless.

After understanding the basic situation, Gao Yuan said: "It's still early, why don't we go to the position to take a look at the camp layout of the Qin army, send troops in the sky, and start a battle with the Qin army first." ”
