On December 11 of the ninth year of Chongguan, the division of the king of Eastern Fujian Qin was divided into two roads in Jinan. Yue Lengqiu, the commander of the Eastern Fujian Qin Wang Division and the commander of the Governor's Army, led 6,000 elite soldiers to move westward, and forcibly traveled nearly 100 miles in one day, then crossed the Yellow River into Guangping Mansion, and wanted to cross the southern mountains of Taihang Mountain from the Shexian Valley Road in the west of Guangping Mansion to enter Jinzhong; Zhaowu town guard plus light car captain Lu Jingyan led 7,000 elite soldiers to stay in the place and assist in Jinan.

On the 15th, the main force of the Dongyu assembled in Fucheng, Zhaoxian, Ningjin and other places in Xingzhou moved southward, approaching Pingyuanfu, and on the 16th, more than 10,000 Dongyu cavalry interspersed between Dezhou and Linqing, attacked Wucheng at night, pulled out overnight, cut off the connection between Dezhou and the west, and began to implement the encirclement of Dezhou.

On the 16th, Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army from Sanyuzhuang, west of Jinan City, and marched north from Baying.

In the afternoon, the clouds were like lead, and the dark and heavy pressure was on the city, and the cold wind roared from the unobstructed Heji Pingyuan, blowing on the face like a knife. In the open field, there were no living creatures except for the thinly clothed and withered refugees, and occasionally an old crow stood on the branch and let out a dumb cry, piercing the gloomy and lonely sky.

At this time, snow particles have already fallen, and the first section of the road from Jinan is difficult.

Lin Jian squinted at the Yellow River embankment to the north, and the beads of tassels on both sides of his cheeks were blown and scraped on his ears. Although the coming blizzard was extremely unfavorable for the march, the Eastern Cavalry had already poured into Pingyuan Province in large numbers, and they had to pass diagonally from the southwest of Pingyuan Province, and the blizzard became a favorable cover.

"Knock knock!"

Behind him, there was a strange sound at the head of the city in the north of Jinan, Lin Jian looked back, and the defenders stood behind the female wall at the head of the city and made a majestic and rhythmic sound with swords hitting the shield. The defenders of Jinan knew that the Jiangdong Left Army was different from Yue Lengqiu, and that the Jiangdong Left Army was taking a dangerous and difficult road when it was advancing northward, and even if it avoided the main force of the Eastern Prisoners, as long as it returned to the territory of Yannan, it could effectively relieve the pressure on Jinan Prefecture.

The ranks of the Jiangdong Left Army also spontaneously responded to the majesty of the city while hitting their shields with swords or wielding spears and spears.

Far away, it is impossible to see the faces of the people at the head of the city, Lu Jingyan is used to wearing a crimson armor, especially when he stands at the head of the city, like a statue, he can feel that he is looking at this side. Regardless of whether Lu Jingyan saw it or not, Lin Jian stretched out his hand and raised the edge of his helmet as a respect.

"The Five Tigers of Eastern Fujian, with Lu Jingyan's temperament being the strongest, is also a single person who can't rub sand in his eyes, if he is Dong Yuan or Chen Zhihu, most of them will move to Jinzhong with Yue Lengqiu to avoid strong enemies," Ao Canghai reined in the reins, so that the horse kicked and hesitated beside Lin Lian, squinting at the city, "Now the five tigers are scattered, and none of them are ......under Li Zhuo's tent."

This is probably Li Zhuo's temperament, which easily split the Eastern Fujian Army, Lin Jian sighed slightly, otherwise he would say that he was sick and stayed in Eastern Fujian, and the center couldn't help him. Lin Jian didn't think much about anything, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and drove the horse forward with the army.

***************

On the vast plain between the Yellow River and the Wei River, a blizzard roared, and the snow particles hit the hat and made a loud sound, and a group of about 300 cavalry people came in a hurry. Brown armor, short clothes and narrow sleeves, with a bow and a crotch knife on his back, and most of his face hidden in his hat pocket to avoid the wind and snow, but he was a group of Eastern cavalry that roamed to the territory of Linyi County, the hinterland of Pingyuan Prefecture.

With the Donghu military system, 300 cavalry is a battalion, with the assistant leader as the commander, and the fifth battalion is the brigade, and the staff leader is the commander. This group of cavalry numbered about 300 people, which was the establishment of the first battalion of Donghu, and the leading officer was a staff member of the Donghu army.

"That Yan Shen Ling," a Donghu knight drove his horse to the front, pulled the hat that covered his face open, and said to the leader of the team, "This ghost weather, which of those turtle eggs in Jinan Mansion dare to come out?" Let's go back......"

"That Tuzhen, the sentry cavalry that entered Jinan Mansion these days has been quite damaged, so that it is difficult for the sentry cavalry to penetrate into Jinan Mansion to reconnoitre, and the army gathered by the Southern Dynasty in Jinan Mansion may be stronger than the defenders of Yannan, and it is likely that there will be a tough battle to fight," the leader of the general untied the collar, revealing a bearded face, thin face and narrow eyes, with a scar on his left cheek, only twenty-three or four years old, inhaled the cold air, exhaled white air, took off the handbag, bent down to take off the leather wine bag hanging on the side of the saddle, and poured a sip of liquor to keep out the cold"Before hitting Jinan, we must first pull out Dezhou and Linqing, and cut off their screen wings; The officials of the Southern Dynasties in Shandong should also know the protective effect of Dezhou and Linqing on Jinan, and it is likely that they will send reinforcements. You also participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate Yang Zhaoqi's troops, and the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are not all soft eggs, and they must not be sloppy ......"

The knight who came later was not very old, about twenty-two or three years old, as a true samurai, just the deputy of Na Yan Shen Ling, he didn't care about Na Yan's cautious words, but he was limited to the difference in status, and it was inconvenient to refute it, just looked at the south with disdain.

Since the Xuanhua broke the border, 100,000 soldiers invaded in six ways, except for the Gaoyang War to encircle and annihilate the Southern Dynasty Admiral Yang Zhaoqi's department is a tough battle, more than two months, 32 cities were broken, and seven cities were surrendered, all of which were destroyed and decayed, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

Even if the sentry cavalry entered Jinan Mansion to reconnoiter and was slightly frustrated, it could not prove that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were not soft eggs, and the young and vigorous Natu was really full of disdain, they had just galloped past the county town of Linyi, and they could clearly see the frightened looks of the defenders at the head of the city. If it weren't for Nayan blocking it, he would have wanted to directly capture Linyi County with three hundred horsemen.

Na Yan rode on horseback and hung up the wine bag, he knew what his deputy was thinking, he didn't care, he just squinted at the wind and looked ahead, but he couldn't see too far in the snowstorm, and from the humble map, he knew that the front was in Jihe County. Listen to the captured southern Chaomin said, after Jihe County, the weather is better, you can see the majestic Mount Tai in the south, but unfortunately at this time, the sky is gray in the distance, and it is good to be able to see a place two miles away.

Before breaking through the border and entering the Kou, the generals in the army, even the Great Khan, did not expect that the entry into the Kou would be so smooth, nor did they expect that there would be an opportunity to enter Shandong, and the military reconnaissance of the Southern Dynasties was very insufficient in advance, and the understanding of the Shandong officials and generals of the Southern Dynasties was very insufficient, so they could only send sentry cavalry to infiltrate and reconnoiter during wartime.

It's just that in the past ten days, as long as the sentry cavalry crosses the Ji River, it will be resolutely blocked in the field, which is a rare phenomenon since the border broke and invaded Yannan, and the generals in the tent and the Great Khan had to pay attention to this. Even if no further information could be obtained, it was speculated that the Southern Dynasties might have gathered elite troops in Jinan Province and were waiting for them to rush over for a general battle.

In order to ensure that the attack on Dezhou would not be interfered with by the defenders of Jinan in the Southern Dynasty, the Great Khan even transferred the cavalry that had advanced to the east of Shandong to strengthen the frontal attack.

The Southern Dynasty has enough people, sixteen counties, and the people in each county are several times and more than ten times that of Donghu, and hundreds of 80,000 middle-aged men die casually, which does not hurt the muscles and bones at all, but the Donghu ploughing and fighting are one, and this time they are in the Kou, and the men are drawn three out of ten, so it can be said that the elite of Donghu is gathered here.

No matter how smoothly the front fights, as long as there is a heavy setback, it is also a loss that the clansmen cannot bear, and everything cannot be careless; If Jinan can't be attacked, this border attack will have to be terminated and considered returning.

The main force gathered troops and horses in the north, and Wang Tent also moved to the front line, preparing to storm Dezhou, so Na Yan asked for orders to personally lead 300 cavalry to the south to reconnoitre, and also to prevent Jinan from taking advantage of the bad weather to forcibly send troops to aid Dezhou.

Although the cavalry led by Na Yan was no different from the ordinary Donghu cavalry, those who were familiar with the situation in Donghu knew that they were all the elite of the Wanghu guards.

More than a dozen riders appeared in front of them as if they had suddenly emerged from a blizzard, and rushed towards them. Only then did I hear the sound of horses' hooves rolling like hidden thunder covering the blizzard and sucking the snow.

The dozen or so horsemen who rushed were all dressed as clan soldiers, Na Yan waved his hand, and without saying anything, Na Tuzhen led dozens of horsemen to gallop out from the left and right, took the bow in his hand, and shouted loudly in barbarian language to prevent the people from pretending to be soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.

Listening to the dozens of horsemen who responded in barbarian language, and there were dominoes thrown to verify their identity, Na Yan knew that it was the sentinel who had entered Jinan Mansion first, but seeing them looked like they were fleeing for their lives, and let everyone not relax their vigilance, and it took a while to see forty or fifty cavalry chasing soldiers.

When the pursuers saw that more than a dozen sentinels were converging with this side, they reined in their horses from a distance and fled back without the slightest pause.

On both sides of the Jishui River, the terrain was flat, and Na Yan was not afraid of being ambushed, so he immediately ordered more than 300 elite horsemen under his command to change horses and prepare to pursue.

Fleeing back more than ten sentry horses, the leader was a small flag, and Natu Zhen scolded and scolded with this small flag to come over to see Na Yan: "It's a shame for him/mother, when did the real samurai give people a real rabbit?" ”

The little banner's dark face turned purple and he dismounted and saluted Na Yan.

"Who is the other party, how many people have you brought over, and how much have you lost?" Na Yan was quite embarrassed when he saw that the more than ten sentinels had fled back, and most of them were wounded, presumably blocked by the defenders of Jinan.

"General Huiyu, I led the team to cross Jishui before noon, and met the enemy ten miles away, the other party should be the defenders of Jihe County, mixed infantry and cavalry, about 400 people......" Xiaoqi replied.

"Nonsense, the defenders of Jihe County dare to come out of the city?" Natuzhen raised his horsewhip to whip up the whistle and ride a small flag, "Have you suffered a defeat and praised the enemy army to alleviate your sins?" ”

"......" Na Yan took a look to stop Natu Zhen from being rude, the sentinels who entered Jinan Mansion in the past few days have been repeatedly frustrated, and more than 400 foot cavalry should be the army sent by Jinan City, this small banner is also wrong in judgment, he has no need to lie, only said, "You are all dressed up in front to lead the team, and lead us to kill and avenge you......"

Nayan took out the map and unfolded it on the saddle, asking Xiaoqi to designate the location of the attack. It is twenty-four or five miles away from Jihe County, only more than ten miles away from here, and the other party must not be able to go fast if there are foot soldiers, Na Yan thought about rushing over, surrounded and annihilated this Southern Dynasty army, and sent more than a dozen outposts to the south to spread a fan to carry out reconnaissance, and then gave more than a dozen sentry horses who fled back to change horses to lead the team in front, and chased directly to the attack site.

After chasing ten miles, the outpost in front rushed back to report that this group of southern Korean soldiers did not flee to Jihe County, but fled along the avenue on the north bank of Jishui to Jiyin County, which was farther northeast.

"The one chasing him/mother must be a small group of elite soldiers sent out of Jinan City, seize the live mouth, and everything in Jinan City is clear!" Natu really saw that there was a battle to fight, and his blood was boiling.

"It's a bit wrong, if the other party is only a mixed formation of 400 infantry and cavalry, it is impossible to divide enough troops to prevent my sentry from reconnoitring the inner line, I am afraid that the other party has more than 400 people......" Na Yan carefully analyzed the intelligence brought back by the sentry and saw many strange places.

"I'm afraid of him," Natuzhen said scoldingly, "In this cold and icy field, even if the other party hides ten times the soldiers and horses, we have three hundred elites, it is enough to cut them down and cut off their eggs." ”

“…… The other party may go to Texas for reinforcements," Na Yan smiled, took out the order arrow to the guards, and ordered, "When you encounter the sentinel cavalry in the south of Linyi County, order it to converge to the southeast, and you can eat this reinforcement in the field and relieve the pressure of attacking Texas...... "Even if the opponent's strength is far more than 400 people, he still has to pursue, if he can bite the other party in the field and prevent the other party from escaping into Jiyin County, he can transfer more cavalry from the rear line to slowly gnaw away this team of southern Korean soldiers in the field."
