The army was getting closer and closer, while Wang Jun, Duan Ji, Lu Jun, Duan Mobo and others talked casually, and there was not much tension that the war was coming. In the past decade, the military strength of the Eastern Xianbei and the exquisite plan of Wang Jun and Wang Peng Zu have created an invincible record of this military group. They swung among the kings in the central court and kept seizing profits. During this period, they went south to the Central Plains several times to fight, defeating those who dared to be enemies one by one, harvesting the blood and lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. The enemy army is no exception. Under the planning of the Youzhou Governor, they are already in a desperate situation, just a cut by the Xianbei warriors.
The Youzhou army was full of confidence in victory. They crossed the fields like green felt carpets and were undoubtedly ready to win. Compared with the Central Plains, the climate in the northern border was usually drier, and even the water-shui area was close to Ruyuan, there were few trees. Duan Wenyang used several dozen miles ahead to lead his army to ambush the forest land of Ding Miao's troops. Although it was a rare favorable terrain, it was too narrow to accommodate the army. In addition, the surrounding areas were all vast grasslands with wide terrain. Because of this, the actual terrain of the Youzhou army was very far away. The main force rushed to attack for a long distance after determining the movement of the Dai County Army. The fatigue level was not much lighter than the Dai County Army that marched all night. This can be regarded as a great blessing in the misfortune of the Dai County Army's sudden attack.
Under this circumstance, the experienced Xianbei soldiers naturally would not choose to fight the strict military formation of the Dai County army in one go. When they approached within ten miles, they slowed down their march pace and accumulated a little horsepower. At the same time, with their huge military advantage, they gradually surrounded the Dai County army on three sides. The two armies confronted each other across the river on the south and north, and confronted two miles apart in the open plains on the west.
At this time, the sky was already bright. The autumn sun shone away the morning mist and fell on the plains, illuminating the two huge arrays clearly and clearly.
"The enemy troops on the opposite side are about 9,000 to 10,000, which is twice the number of our army. One thousand rangers are arranged on the left and right wings, which seems to be only for harassment; and the main force is more than 5,000 cavalry in the central army, including a considerable number of heavy cavalry equipped with armor, which is posing as a strong attack on the front... But the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and it is convenient to mobilize, and the gambles on the two wings can be changed to the main attack at any time, so we must be careful. But the only things our army uses to fight against are three thousand cavalry, one thousand chariots, and one thousand infantry. The difference in strength is so different, how should we deal with it..." Taking advantage of the enemy's formation, Lu Yao quickly determined the enemy's strength. He sighed and smiled at the person beside him, "Duke Deyuan, this battle is not easy to fight. When the soldiers are in danger, please be careful."
Next to Lu Yao was Wei Cao, the Marquis of Dingxiang.
Lu Yao's march was originally intended to attack Chiluo and Puliuru and his two tribes. The banner was to rescue the Jin refugees who were sheltered by the Wei clan. As the leader of the Jin refugees, Wei Cao sneaked to the Jin army camp in the southern part of the Bashang Grassland a few days ago to contact him. At this time, he naturally had to follow the army. Fortunately, this Dingxiang Hou was a warrior, and had been through the wind sword and frost sword for a long time. His muscles and bones were strong and could withstand the bumps overnight.
But the reason why Wei Cao was invited to the army at this time was not that simple. The Dai County Army planned a proper surprise attack and eventually trapped himself in. Although it can be said that the enemy was deliberately trying to do something, it cannot rule out that someone in the army would inform him. Wei Cao and his clans worked hard in the Tuoba Xianbei Alliance for decades, and were supported by tens of thousands of refugees, and were deeply rooted in the northern border. Those who could make a foundation in this turbulent and chaotic world were the best men who stood out among the thousands of people, and there was no simpler person among them. Who could say that this Marquis of Dingxiang would not deliberately provoke the dispute between Youzhou and Dai County, hoping to reap the benefits of the fisherman?
The former Chengdu King of the King Lu Zhi is still missing, which makes Wei County civil and military officials unable to live in peace for a day. Lu Yao dared not underestimate this ability to turn his hands to make a comeback. It is important to know that he is not afraid of ten thousand, but only in case. After the Youzhou Army appeared, he immediately sent someone to "invited" Wei Cao from the rear army, and even ordered his subordinates to take a close look.
Wei Cao knew that he was in a suspicious place, and even the generals around him looked at him with a little bad look. I believe that if the battle was unfavorable, someone would blame him, and a few steel knives would fall to his neck. But he had experienced so many storms in his life, and he didn't mind his expression, but just looked carefully at the surging Xianbei army opposite.
Hearing Lu Yao's words, Wei Cao looked at him calmly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Lu, this battle is indeed difficult to fight..."
Speaking of the understanding of the forces in the northern border, Lu Yao was an outsider after all, far from being as profound as Wei Cao's background. He raised his hand and pointed to the opposite army formation and explained to Lu Yao: "General, please look, in the direction facing, the heavy weapon in five-color brocade is the Hu Ban Clan under the command of the General of the Cavalry. The Hu Ban Clan Clan Clan appeared, Duan Mobo, who is known as the most cunning among the Duan generals, must be here, and even... even Wang Jun is probably in the opposite army!"
Wei Cao lowered his voice and said word by word: "That is General of the Cavalry, the Governor of Youzhou, the Governor of the Military Affairs of Dongyi, Hebei, and the Duke of Boling! He was an elite soldier and powerful general in the palm of his hand, and a powerful city in the world that swept across the Central Plains twice! General Lu, this battle is not just difficult to fight... it cannot be fought!"
Lu Yao sighed. The Dingxiang Hou came from the gate of Wei Guan and joined the Tuoba Xianbei clan as a Jin person. He had withstood many bloody storms before he was trusted by Tuoba Yiyi. He served as the assistant minister and held the power of millions of Hu'er, and was powerful. Even though the situation is difficult now, the Wei clan is still an important force in the northern border. They dared to confront the two Xianbei clans of the Chiluo tribe and Puliru tribe. Even Lu Yao respected him for decades of hard work. However, Wei Cao did not dare and did not want to face the powerful force of Peng Zu, the King of Youzhou.
This is a normal thing. The refugees of Jin on the grassland have been away from the imperial court for many years. They have no tendency between Lu Yao, Dai County and Peng Zu, King of Jicheng. When Wang Jun's army was blocked by Wulu Hui tribe and Wei Nailou tribe, Wei Cao came to meet Lu Yao at night; and when Wang Jun's army finally broke into the grassland, Wei Cao would never want the forces he had worked hard to get involved in the conflict between Dai County and Youzhou, and ended up in disaster.
But Lu Yao could not allow Wei Cao to do this. The conflict between Dai County and Youzhou and the Xianbei of Duan were beyond our means to retreat before the battle.
His face darkened: "Duke Deyuan..."
"General Lu, I know what you are trying to do is not small, but I will not hide it from it. I also intend to help from the side, and the two families are planning major plans. However, now that the army of Wang Jun of Youzhou has arrived, the situation is completely different." The two armies are fighting, and time is tight, and they can no longer tolerate verbal temptation. Wei Cao grabbed Lu Yao's arm with one hand and pressed his voice down: "Will the general see? The enemy is as powerful as Mount Tai, and our army is as tired as eggs? Don't you see that the soldiers on both sides are afraid. Before the war begins, the military spirit has been destroyed? General, this battle cannot be fought, and it cannot be fought! In my opinion..."
Lu Yao made a firm stop gesture: "I have my own division of the war formation, so I don't have to worry about Duke Deyuan."
Many soldiers were afraid, so before the war began, the military spirit was destroyed?
What a joke!
To make the soldiers face the fierce reputation shock the world, and the number of enemies twice as many as one's own side is still without fear, it is probably only the gods can do it. Lu Yao asked himself that he did not have the ability to train a group of terminators. But based on this, he thought that the military spirit had been destroyed, which would be too underestimated to the soldiers of the Dai County Army. Lu Yao absolutely believed that everything he had done in the past two months was enough to gather the confidence of the soldiers, cultivate the tenacity of the soldiers, and enable the soldiers to turn fear into fighting spirit. Even in today's situation, even when strategically passive, even when veterans like Wei Cao lost their confidence, the Dai County Army could still fight to the death and achieve the final victory!
