Chapter 257: Helian

Bidding farewell to the regretful Bao Ting, Shang Ji led the army to continue marching.

Along the way, he passed through several big cities in Liaoxi County, such as Linyu, Feiru, and Lingzhi, and then repeated the old tricks, pretending to pass on Wang Tong's orders, gathering troops along the way, and waiting for Shang Ji to enter Youbeiping County, the army led by him has officially broken through the 300,000 mark!

Entering the right Beiping County also shows that war can break out at any time.

Youbeiping County is not a key target of Xianbei invasion, but there are many Xianbei troops in the county. Through the reconnaissance of the Holy Eagle, it was found that the Xianbei cavalry with a size of more than 1,000 people could be seen everywhere in the field.

Shang Ji immediately made a decision and once again adopted the tactics of dividing troops. Tai Shici, Liu Yi, Qin Ping, Liu Meng, Su Huan, Wang Shu, Guo Biao and others each led one to exterminate the nearby Xianbei army under the command of Shang Ji.

The Shang Ji personally led the main army, closely monitored the enemy's movements, and was ready to support all parts at any time.

The army began to divide its troops from Xu Wu County, and was invincible all the way, penetrating the entire Youbeiping County in three days, fighting more than 30 battles large and small, eliminating nearly 200,000 Xianbei troops in total, and more than 50,000 casualties.

However, because he helped Youbeiping County to relieve the harassment of the Xianbei people, Shang Ji supplemented 10,000 elite cavalry from Youbeiping County in the name of Wang Tong, which finally led to the increase in the total strength of Shang Ji instead of decreasing.

Passing through the right Beiping County, the army marched into the hardest-hit area of the battle, Yuyang County.

Unlike Xianbei in Youbeiping County, which is basically wreaking havoc outside the city, many small and medium-sized cities in Yuyang County have been brutally murdered by Xianbei. At present, the only ones who can guarantee absolute safety are the county rule Yuyang and the rest of the historical cities, and the rest of the cities, even the intermediate cities, are not sure that they will not be captured by the Xianbei army.

After entering Yuyang County, Shang Ji did not dare to be careless, and immediately gathered the scattered army, and then divided it into three routes, namely the Right Route Army led by Liu Yi, the Left Route Army led by Tai Shici, and the main force of the Chinese Army led by Shang Ji.

There are 10,000 people on each side of the left and right roads, and there are 160,000 troops in the middle of the army, and the distance between them must not exceed 200 kilometers, so as to ensure that any one of the other two roads can go to support in the shortest possible time.

As soon as they encounter, they will fight those who can fight, and those who can't fight will rely on the intelligence advantage of the Holy Eagle to bypass them.

Yuyang County is worthy of being one of the border counties with the highest level of combat readiness in the Han Dynasty, and the morale and fighting will of the county soldiers in the county far exceed those of the Liaodong County soldiers.

At least when the Shang Ji launched an attack on the Xianbei enemy army besieging the city outside the city, the defenders in the city could take the initiative to open the city gate and go out of the city to cooperate with the Shang Ji army.

This is the only one in Liaodong County that Wang Shu has done, but in Yuyang County, this is a common situation.

Yuyang County's combat strength is strong, and its overall combat strength is not weaker than the Xianbei army within the range. However, the Xianbei army attacked too suddenly, and was attacked unprepared, and the connection between the various cities was cut off, and then it was divided and surrounded, so it was very passive.

With the arrival of the Shang army, the situation immediately changed dramatically.

Although the number of Shang Ji troops was only 300,000, their combat power was good, and they were purely mobile troops, and there was no task of defending the city. The 300,000 elite army, like a giant hammer, smashed the encirclement and division that the Xianbei army had worked so hard to weave.

The Xianbei armaments besieging the city continued to be annihilated, and at the same time, the cities also restored contact, and the initiative on the battlefield gradually began to return to the Han army.

Just when Shang Ji led the army in the bloody battle in Yuyang County, outside Guangyang County and Jixian County, the state city, countless Xianbei troops were stationed here, and an unusually brilliant big tent stood in the Xianbei army.

In the big tent, the Xianbei Alliance Lord and Lian Zheng listened to the report of their subordinates.

"Tell your lord, at present, there are reinforcements from the Han army in the east of Yuyang County, west of Dai County, and south of Zhuo County!"

The Eastern Han Dynasty naturally did not only send Wang Tong this way to reinforce, the nearby Jizhou and Qingzhou all sent corresponding reinforcements, but the speed of these armies was quite touching, and Shang Ji had already arrived in Yuyang from Liaodong. These reinforcements from nearby states and counties have not yet officially set foot on the border of Youzhou.

He Lian frowned when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice: "What do the two adults Kebi Neng and Budugen say?" What do you say? ”

Xianbei is a large tribal alliance, and there is no unified military establishment, and the tasks are assigned in the form of tribes in weekday battles, and this southward raid is no exception.

Kebineng and his subordinates were in charge of raiding Daijun, and Budugen was in charge of Shanggu County. Jiehu Poison led a large number of scattered small tribes in Xianbei in the east to wreak havoc in Yuyang and Youbeiping.

And the richest Guangyang County area in Youzhou has naturally become Helian's bag.

In addition to being responsible for leading the army to plunder, Kebi Nengbu Dugen and others also shouldered the responsibility of blocking the Han army that came to support.

"Back to my lord, Kebi Neng and Budugen sent someone to tell me that the Han reinforcements were nailed to the spot and could not move forward an inch, please rest assured!"

"What about the world? What's going on with him? Listening to the report of his subordinates, he only mentioned Budugen and Ke Bineng, and Lian's face was gloomy, and he asked angrily.

"Lord Jie Calling Poison reports that the enemy reinforcements from Liaodong have passed through Youbeiping County and are currently attacking in Yuyang County!"

After a pause, he continued: "Lord Jie Calling Poison sent someone to tell you that the reinforcements in Liaodong are strong, and he may not be able to stop them, please make plans as soon as possible!" ”

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Nomuduo is a waste, and the world is also a waste! ”

He Lian couldn't control his anger anymore when he heard this, kicked over the low table in front of him, and scolded angrily.

The news of the annihilation of Nomuduo's army has arrived, and in order not to affect the morale of the army, He Lian ordered this to be kept secret for the time being.

However, when the army of millions is destroyed, how can it be said that secrecy can be kept secret? Xianbei was originally a large tribal alliance, and Helian was nominally the co-leader of Xianbei, but his control over the tribes below was quite limited.

What's more, He Lian has just succeeded to the throne, and his prestige and power cannot be compared with his father Tan Shikui, and a large group of old ministers are waiting to see him laugh!

Fueled by various characters, the news of the destruction of Nuomuduo's entire army has long been spread among the Xianbei army.

Nuo Mu Duo is Helian's confidant and favorite general, and at the same time, sending Nuo Mu Duo to expedition to Liaodong was also promoted by He Lian, and the destruction of Nuo Mu Duo's entire army was a fatal blow to Helian's already low prestige.

Therefore, He Liancai was furious and scolded his confidants as waste.

Scolding and scolding, but He Lian can still figure out who is his own, and after the stuffiness in his chest, He Lian decisively ordered: "The two adults of Herald Kebi and Bu Dugen, without my order, are not allowed to take half a step back, let alone let a Han army come over!" ”

After a pause, He Lian continued: "The herald realm is calling for poison, and he can't hold on, I allow him to temporarily withdraw to Guangyang County and retain his strength in order to have a future effect!" ”

"Also, send an order to the whole army, speed up the raid, and in five days, our whole army will withdraw from Han and return to the grassland!"

The harvest of this battle is big enough, and most of the purpose of Helian going south has been achieved, since the Han army reinforcements have been surrounded, there is no need to continue to take risks, it is time to withdraw the army. 11
