When he thought of this, Yelu Chixian discovered that the seemingly powerful Northeastern Three Kingdoms were actually so undercurrent. Looking at his opponents, especially Haotian of Hetao, civil servants, Luo Xiang and Chu Xiang Chengdu had just five years ago.
Ten years old, Xuanji Wei He, Zheng Chengen and others are all around thirty. Except for Lin Taiyue, who is already sixty-three, and Xia Houming, who is a little over fifty, the rest are all in their youthful and energetic stage.
In terms of generals, among the five generals in Hetao, the oldest is Xue Sha, who is forty-six years old, Dugu and Bian Zhongxing are thirty-four and five, and Feng Jing and Xin Ke are twenty. The youngest of the five generals in Hetao, the oldest Tang Jian
They are only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and the youngest Chu Yueying is only fourteen. But even so, their record is remarkable. Now the Three Northeastern Kingdoms have reached their most glorious period, but Hetao is still rising. This
Only then did Yelu finally understand why the Prime Minister and Kashimbas Jinmeiliu wanted to destroy Qingfeng at all costs and by all means.
"Commander, the Hetao army stopped twenty miles away from our camp after leaving the camp. The 100,000-strong army rested on the spot without any follow-up action."
Yelu Chixian frowned again, turned around and said to Yelu Wanhong beside him: "Have you found out about the movements of their cavalry?"
Yelu Wanhong quickly replied: "There is no specific information yet, but there are traces of a large group of cavalry passing twenty miles south of our camp. My subordinates are asking the scouts to step up their investigation and must not miss any information.
"
"Twenty miles to the south? Isn't that close to the bank of the river? Hekimur did not take this road when he went south. This should be the path left by the Hetao cavalry." Yelu Chixian looked at Yelu with some dissatisfaction.
Wan Hong, such important news was not reported in time. If I hadn't asked about it myself, I don't know how long it would have been hidden.
With a cold snort, Yelu Chixian said coldly: "Immediately find out for me how many Hetao cavalry have passed there and where they are now. Hetao's rare initiative to challenge this time must have a contingency plan.
, if we rush into the fight, we are likely to be completely defeated."
Yelu Wanhong was dripping with cold sweat and said quickly: "I know, I will go now."
Under Yelu Wanhong's personal supervision, the Mandan scouts quickly sent back the news. Yelu Wanhong immediately rushed to inform Yelu Chixian, but Yelu Chixian's originally serious face became even more serious.
Yelu Wanhong stood aside in fear. Among several generals, he was directly responsible for scouting and other related matters. However, tens of thousands of troops in Hetao passed by his camp quietly. If Yelu Chixian hadn't reminded him,
, I’m afraid I don’t know when I will find out. Looking at Xiao Shicheng and Yelu Chengfeng who were standing behind Yelv Chixian with me, they both looked worried, turning a blind eye to me, and they were very angry in their hearts.
What a bastard. When they were in trouble before, he tried his best to cover for them. But now that he was in trouble, they ignored him. It was really too much.
"Chengfeng." Yelu Wanhong shouted in a low voice. Although he was dissatisfied with Yelu Chengfeng's attitude, Yelu Wanhong also knew that his mistake was really big this time, so he had to shamelessly ask Yelu Chengfeng for help.
"Kashuai just sent a letter to the commander in chief, saying that Haotian's 60,000 cavalrymen on Yuzhou Road in Hetao have disappeared. In all likelihood, they crossed the river and went north to Taihang Road. The target is us." Yelu Chengfeng is quite loyal.
, quietly told Yelu Wanhong said.
"What?" Yelu Wanhong was stunned. He originally thought that the commander was angry because he failed to monitor the movements of the Loop, but he didn't know that something like this happened.
Yelu Chixian let out a long sigh. It seemed that what he and Hekimu'er had expected was indeed true. Hetao had indeed mobilized cavalry to attack him from both sides. But he did not expect that Haotian would actually mobilize all the cavalry in his hands.
These 60,000 cavalry are all the elite of the Hetao cavalry. Although there are 100,000 troops under Hekimul's command, there are only 30,000 cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is slightly inferior to that of the Hetao cavalry. After three years of fighting with the Hetao cavalry,
After the battle, no one in the three Northeastern countries dared to despise the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army. Especially this time, the main force was the most powerful bloody cavalry. Although Hekimu'er was prepared, he didn't know that six soldiers were coming.
Thousands of cavalry.
"Where is the specific location of the Hetao cavalry on the other side of Shazhou?" Yeluchi asked with a straight face.
Yelu Wanhong's legs were a little weak, and he said boldly: "Commander, according to the traces they left, about 100,000 cavalry passed there, heading south, and the target should be Jinzhou.
However, on the way, we discovered that a small group of cavalry separated from it and headed east of us."
Yelu Chixian secretly thought about the geographical environment of Wuzhou. Wuzhou is the westernmost state of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. It is between Taihang Road and Hetao Third Road. Jinzhou is separated by the river and Anzhou in Hetao.
Facing each other from a distance. Wuzhou is connected to Shazhou on Hexi Road. This time, in order to contain the remaining troops in Hetao, Yelu Chixian mobilized the Mandan's 200,000 troops on Taihang Road. In addition to Leng Fangbu's 50,000 troops,
Soldiers were stationed in Jinzhou to prevent another sneak attack by Hetao from Hukou Ferry. The remaining 150,000 soldiers were concentrated in Wuzhou. After a period of fighting, there were still about 140,000 soldiers. In other words, now the eastern part of Taihang Road
There is no one soldier left in the three states. The 200,000-strong Baijing garrison on the Taihang Road and 100,000 troops are pressing on the Dahe defense line. The 100,000-strong army followed Hekimur to the Taihang Road. The Donghai Road in Haixi
It's not much better, the remaining troops are still only 100,000. If Hetao repeats his old tricks this time, then the Sixteen States of Youyun will definitely be turned upside down again.
Of course, their purpose may not be this. Yelv Chixian frowned and asked: "Approximately how many cavalrymen separated?"
"About fifty thousand."
Fifty thousand? Yelu Chixian rubbed his head: "About when did they pass by?"
Yelu Wanhong buried his head even lower: "I can't tell. Theoretically, it should have happened at midnight last night, but it seems like only two hours have passed."
Yelu Wanhong originally thought that he was going to be reprimanded this time, but he didn't know that Yelu just nodded and said calmly: "I can't blame you. The only one sitting at the door now is Fengjing, so it is very likely that the one leading the cavalry will
It is the letter of one of the five generals of Hetao. He is a rare opponent. It seems that they have eliminated traces along the way."
Yelu Chixian turned around and said to Xiao Shicheng: "Shicheng, what is their strategic purpose?"
The three Northeastern countries have always paid attention to the inheritance of bloodline, especially the Mandan dynasty. If they are not from their own people, it is impossible to be reused. In fact, this can be clearly felt from the composition of the generals of the Mandan military. Xiao Shicheng and Leng
Fang Bu was considered a very smart general among the Mandan army, especially Xiao Shicheng, who he had rescued from slaves.
, and they are even more flexible. However, because they are not from the Mandan royal family or the Mandan family, although they have made great achievements in the army, they are still just partial generals after twenty years of struggle. This is what Yelu Chixian thinks of himself.
It was the result of the special care given by two old subordinates. Now that the situation was a bit wrong, Yelv Chixian naturally hoped that Xiao Shicheng could provide him with some advice.
Xiao Shicheng looked at Yelu Wanhong and Yelu Chengfeng, who were looking at him with cold expressions. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Commander, I personally think that Hetao must have known about us mobilizing an army to go south to intercept their cavalry.
Therefore, we immediately mobilized the cavalry to go south to support the battle."
Yelu Wanhong said unconvinced: "Then how do you explain the cavalry that separated from their large group of cavalry?"
Xiao Shicheng's expression remained unchanged and he said: "The traces left by the two cavalry were separated by at least three hours. That means that this is not a cavalry at all, and the subordinates can't understand the reason. But the other party's general Feng Jing is
How could such a person commit such a tactic of gradually increasing the number of troops?
?The most important thing is that the opponent's two major generals, Feng Jing, are good at attacking and fighting. If the opponent really wants to attack with a side force, then Feng Jing must be the one to attack. But now Feng Jing is twenty miles in front of us.
Xin Ke, who is good at fighting hard, suddenly disappeared, which obviously explains the problem."
Yelu Chengfeng was very embarrassed when he saw Yelu Wanhong. Although he felt that what Xiao Shicheng said was reasonable, he would definitely not ignore Yelu Wanhong at this time. So he opened his mouth and said: "I think they are trying to spread suspicion. If a cavalry team now
sneak into our
Behind us, when we suddenly attack during the decisive battle with the Hetao infantry led by Feng Jing, we will definitely suffer heavy losses if we are caught off guard. Feng Jing has always used troops strangely, and we are not completely sure that he will pull out the infantry without any cavalry.
Against us?"
Xiao Shicheng was silent. He couldn't understand why Fengjing did this, but he was sure of his judgment. For Hetao, the importance of the cavalry heading north from Yuzhou Road far exceeded his own.
With an army of ten thousand, if Hekimur fails to stop the opponent, then his army of one hundred thousand will be in danger.
Yelv Chixian glanced at Xiao Shicheng: "Shicheng, what do you think we should do now?"
Xiao Shicheng didn't want to speak at first, but Yelu Chixian had already asked, so he couldn't help but answer: "Commander, what we have to do now is to withdraw our troops. The infantry retreated to Wuzhou City, and the cavalry immediately went south. Now
The Baijing army led by Hejimuler may have already fought with the Hetao cavalry. And Fengjing obviously saw through it.
We have informed us about the deployment of troops, so we dispatched cavalry to attack Hekimur in the south. The Hetao cavalry to the east of us is most likely a bluff. Commander, Hekimur must be in danger now. If they
If we are defeated, then we will be alone here and unable to resist the attack of Hetao."
Yelu Wanhong's face was very ugly, and Yelu Chengfeng was not much better. If it was true as Xiao Shicheng said, then where would Mandan's face be? Besides, Yelu Chixian had already promised Hekimul to stop fighting until the war in the south was resolved.
