There are only 150,000 troops stationed in Haixi on the entire East China Sea Road, of which 50,000 are still in Shanhaiguan. The remaining 100,000 troops are stationed in Lianzhou and Jiaozhou respectively under the leadership of Jin Zongbiao and deputy general Jin Qiliang.
Xin Ke's army marched south from Zhenzhou and headed towards Lianzhou with lightning speed. However, Jin Qiliang was one of the only military veterans in the Haixi Dynasty. As soon as he saw something was wrong, the 30,000 soldiers retreated without hesitation.
In the capital city of Zhouzhou, no matter how provocative Xin Ke was outside the city, Jin Qiliang, who had long been afraid of the Hetao cavalry, just stayed behind closed doors. In desperation, Xin Ke had no choice but to torment Lianzhou for a while and kill Fangzhou in the northeast.
In the northern part of Fangzhou, Xinke finally had a head-on confrontation with Haixi. Shanhaiguan Vice-General Jin Xiangliang personally commanded 20,000 infantry and cavalry each and stationed in Rongdan County in the north of Fangzhou. Taking advantage of Xinke's opportunity to separate into two groups, he suddenly intercepted
The 30,000 cavalrymen on Xinke East Road. Since the Qinglong Army has been going smoothly for more than half a month, Liu Zhiya, Tu Songchi and Qiwen who led the army somewhat underestimated the enemy. As a result, the soldiers of Tu Songchi's headquarters were defeated by Haixi General Jin Yan.
Kou's 20,000 infantrymen blocked him, and he was seriously injured by Haixi's sharpshooters. If Liu Zhiya hadn't desperately saved him, the leader of the Dragon Cavalry Legion would probably have been lost here.
In Rong Shan's battle, the Hetao cavalry actually lost less than 3,000, and the casualties on the spot in Haixi exceeded 5,000. But after all, this was the first time that the three northeastern countries blocked the Hetao army after the Hetao army entered the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun.
The army's attack. Considering that this is the Qinglong Army with the strongest breakthrough ability in Hetao, this is indeed a rare victory.
After all, Jin Xiangliang was a veteran general in Haixi. After pursuing the victory, the 20,000 cavalry actually drove Liu Zhiya's 30,000 cavalry and fled in embarrassment. At the junction of Fangzhou and Lianzhou, Liu Zhiya's 30,000 partial division finally reunited with Xin's 40,000 cavalry.
Ke was worthy of being one of the five great generals in Hetao, and he had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. With just a small counterattack, he drove away Jin Xiangliang's 20,000 cavalry.
After all, Jin Xiangliang was a general who had gained fame twenty years ago. Under Xinke's strong counterattack, although he was defeated, the tens of thousands of cavalrymen were like a piece of brown candy, clinging to Xinke's back. The Haixi Army
After all, I have been stationed on Donghai Road for several years and I am familiar with the local terrain. Moreover, the local area is full of Haixi people. I completely occupy the right time, place and people. Although Xinke has superior troops, he was delayed by Jin Xiangliang here.
Two days later, Jin Xiangliang took the opportunity to burn the military rations that Xin Ke had snatched.
Two days later, Jin Zongbiao from Jiaozhou and Jin Qiliang from Lianzhou also came to their senses. A total of 100,000 soldiers from the two groups rushed to the battlefield steadily. Facing more than 100,000 murderous Haixi soldiers, Xin Xin
At this moment, there was no need to worry about annihilating Jin Xiangliang's more than 10,000 cavalry. The 70,000 cavalry did not hesitate to ride westward, crossing Qingzhou and Yinzhou, returning to Jinzhou along the same route. However, Yinzhou's Yukronsi refused to let go of this opportunity.
, mobilized 20,000 cavalry from Yinzhou City and beat up the drowned dog.
Xing Ke was furious. Although the Qinglong Army suffered some losses on the East China Sea Road, it still had more than 65,000 combatants. The more than 100,000 Haixi soldiers behind were okay. After all, the opponent had the advantage in strength and morale was high. He lacked food and grass.
They wanted to collide head-on. But the 20,000 cavalrymen of Yukolons dared to come to scratch his tiger's beard, and the entire Green Dragon Legion was immediately angry.
In a rage, Xinke personally led Zhang Zhenxin and Jiang Loudan's 20,000 cavalry to cut off the rear. Under his double-edged battle ax, he easily broke through the frontal defense line of Ukelon's cavalry and crushed the 20,000 Baijing cavalry.
However, before Xinke had time to be proud, the 50,000 cavalry led by Jin Xiangliang and Jin Zongbiao were already chasing them. Xinke had no choice but to take care of the defeated Yuklons, and fled away furiously, slapping his buttocks.
Xinke originally planned to cross Xuanzhou directly from Yinzhou and return to Jinzhou, but Leng Fangbu had already received the news, and 50,000 soldiers blocked the official road from Yinzhou to Xuanzhou.
After a small collision with him, he knew that he could not break through the opponent's defense line in a short time, so he had to turn his horse's head and charge into Yaoju, and then go north back to Jinju.
Jin Xiangliang and Jin Zongbiao were also persistent. They drove 50,000 cavalry from Donghai Road to Taihang Road and drove the Qinglong Army back to Tongzhou. Then they stopped and retreated. The news spread, and the morale of the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast rose sharply.
The name of the famous general Jin Xiangliang resounded throughout the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, but there was a dead silence in Hetao. The army in Hetao that had been on the offensive suddenly stopped. It was obvious that this battle had a great impact on the morale of Hetao.
However, except for some thoughtful people, no one has delved into the hidden purpose of the Hetao cavalry who fled thousands of miles away. In less than a month from the time when Xinji went south to Jinzhou to returning to Tongzhou, the number of beheadings counted in Hetao alone exceeded five
Of the 100,000 people, more than 30,000 were killed by the Haixi army in Beijing, but the losses in the Hetao were less than 5,000, and wherever the Xinji army passed, it basically became a scorched earth.
"Shuai Xin is really a famous general in the world, and he really knows me!" Luo Xiang almost said with a slap in the face when he saw the letter of An Ran's return.
Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, the soldiers below me have been very wronged this time. I thought that I, Xin, have been fighting in hundreds of battles in the south for so many years, and there has never been a record of retreating. But this time, they fled thousands of miles, and they didn't dare to.
Explain to the soldiers that your reputation will be ruined in one moment."
Feng Jing laughed, patted Xin Ke's shoulder and said, "Why should a man care about such gains and losses? If we successfully regain the Sixteenth Province of Youyun, you Xin Ke should be credited with the first contribution."
Luo Xiang smiled and said: "It can't be explained. Only a few of us know about this matter. Otherwise, who knows whether there will be another setback?"
Haotian and Luo Xiang both nodded steadily. There were only Haotian, Luo Xiang, Fengjing, Xinke and Xue Qingcheng in the tent. Even Xian Lianchen, Qiu Mu and Zhang Yuewan were rare.
Not here. And the only people who know Xin Ke's intention are the people here plus the mystery of the southern front, Xue Sha and Dugu, and the left behind Tianyi Bian Zhongxing Chu Xiangcheng. These few people are the real core of the Hetao, the core of the Hetao.
Xin Jiao may be the one who deserves to be at the top, but she has never been involved in any military and political affairs in Hetao, so she doesn't know about this matter.
In the Hetao Eastern Expedition, although the most elite troops of more than 400,000 were mobilized, the three Northeastern countries are not weak. Although Hetao does have the upper hand now, the main reason is because this is the territory of the Three Northeastern countries, and they must
Defend first, and there is internal disunity, which gives Hetao an opportunity to take advantage of. If the three northeastern countries are willing to go all out, they can at least mobilize 300,000 soldiers to enter the fortress. In that case, Hetao's plan to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun will only be postponed indefinitely.
.
Therefore, Hetao's established strategy is to accomplish all the results in one battle, destroy the opponent's main force in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures in one battle, and then capture Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan in a flash. However, it is extremely difficult to determine the country in one battle. First of all,
The three Northeastern countries must have a nominal general. This general must have a certain degree of appeal and be able to coordinate the military operations of the three parties. Secondly, this general must be talented and ambitious, without much real material. Finally, Hetao must be
They were fully confident. After much calculation, Luo Xiang and others finally settled on a few targets, namely the eldest prince Yelu Minghui of Mandan, Prince Jin Zongwu of Haixi, and Jin Xiangliang, who had been silent for twenty years.
However, Yelu Minghui was defeated in the southeast, and now he is a tortoise with no prestige. Jin Zongwu also suffered repeated defeats. It happened that Xin Ke was marching eastward, so Luo Xiang secretly instructed Xin Ke to establish prestige for Jin Xiangliang, so Liu Zhiya and others
Since the Eastern Expedition of Hetao, the three Northeastern countries have never won a victory. Although Jin Xiangliang did not gain much in this battle, he engraved the message of victory in Hetao all the way from the East China Sea Road to the seaside to Taihang Road Tongzhou.
Such a thousand-mile pursuit was already a great victory. Of course, the defeat of Yukelonsi also added a bit of glory to Jin Xiangliang.
There is a spy inside the Loop. Haotian, Luo Xiangxinke and others have known this for a long time. However, this spy is hidden very deeply. Even if Guanying tried his best, he still could not dig him out. He was hidden so deeply that his conspiracy
Naturally, it is bigger. Luo Xiang and others shuddered when they thought that this spy had not revealed even a single bit of the top secrets of the Loop over the years. With such forbearance, once he took action, the world would be turned upside down, and I am afraid that the entire Loop would be in a desperate situation.
Therefore, many confidential matters were discussed privately by Haotian and others. He did not dare to say anything else. At least they and the generals from Dingzhou Qianqi would definitely not have any problems.
Haotian also smiled and said: "From now on, we will establish Jin Xiangliang as an invincible and invincible general in the three northeastern countries. Of course, we must make the rest, such as Heji Mu'er and Yelu Chixian, etc.
Suppress them appropriately, otherwise, how can we bring out General Jin Xiangliang's illustrious reputation?"
Luo Xiang pinched his beard and said: "In this case, immediately notify the three military commanders, Blood Commander and Du Commander, and ask them to give Leng Fangbu a good beating. This man is a rare general in the Mandan army. If he can
If he stays here, we will definitely reduce a lot of resistance when we go outside the Great Wall in the future. But if we encounter General Jin Xiangliang, let them retreat appropriately. Haha, the strategists will know what to do."
In the next more than half a month, the Hetao army launched frequent offensives against the armies of the Three Northeastern Countries on Taihang Road. In order to enhance the offensive power of the southern army, Haotian specially transferred the Fengjing Falcon Corps to the southern front. More than a city was besieged
Yelu Chixian of Yue thought he had an opportunity and led an army of 120,000 in the city to storm Shanning County, which was guarded by Hetao himself. Yelu Wanxi of Yue also led 100,000 soldiers to prepare to cross the Jiming Post Road to come to the rescue. As a result,
Guan Mozheng, deputy commander of the Legion of Honor, and Guo Qiu, the commander of the 20,000 soldiers, relied on the geographical advantage to easily block Yelu Wanxi's attack. However, Yelu Chixian's army had not yet reached Shanning County, and more than 100,000 cavalry from Xingke and Xue Qingcheng had already arrived.
Surrounded on both sides in the shape of an iron pincer, the center line was occupied by 30,000 Legion of Honor infantry led by Jiang Chenzhou himself and 3,000 Haotian's personal soldiers.
There is not much difference in the total strength of the two sides, but the cavalry advantage in Hetao is extremely obvious. Yelu Chixian has no generals, and Xiao Shicheng has been deprived of his military post due to the fall of Miyun City. Leng Fangbu is still in Xuanzhou and has no way to
After crossing the defense line of the army on the southern line of Hetao, Yelu Chengfeng fled into the Taihang Mountains with thousands of remaining soldiers and is now recuperating in Yunzhou. The only ones he can use now are Yelu Wanhong, Yelu Zhangqiu and Yelu Duyun.
Originally, Yelu Chixian wanted to abandon all his baggage and flee into the Taihang Mountains like Yelu Chengfeng, but to the east was the Qinglong Legion. The Qinglong Legion, driven back from the East China Sea Road by Jin Xiangliang, was obviously holding back his anger. Yelu
Under such circumstances, Chi Xian dared to actively provoke them, and the consequences could be imagined.
After a battle, Yelu Chixian led more than 70,000 remnant troops and had no choice but to retreat into Tongzhou City. Hetao obviously wanted to turn Tongzhou into a magnet, so he did not seize it while the Mandan army left the city, otherwise
Yelv Chixian still didn't know where to retreat. Seeing that there were only more than 70,000 soldiers left out of the 120,000-strong army when he set out for the expedition, Yelv Chixian felt like crying without tears.
"Tongzhou, just let General Yelu stay for now. Without him here, how could the Three Northeastern Countries possibly carry out all-out rescue? In that case, the game of chess in Youyun Sixteenth State would not be easy." Luo Xiang smiled.
He said to Zhao Dawu and others beside him.
Zhao Dawu said gloomily: "Sir, it's really annoying to see this guy staying here. How about we just seize Tongzhou and then concentrate our forces to wipe out the Hekimur in Xuanzhou?"
Haotian glared at him fiercely: "You are the only one who is smart! Don't even think about it. The reason why Hejimuler and Leng Fangbu are willing to confront us in the wild is because Yelu Chixian is surrounded by us. They cannot
If Yelu Chixian is destroyed, they will most likely retreat to the capital city. Although the city walls of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are easy to attack and difficult to defend, they can only be attacked one by one. Do you think there will be no death? So?
, we need to drag them out into the field as much as possible, so that we can take full advantage of our cavalry."
Luo Xiang nodded silently. As a soldier, having fun is indeed a great pleasure in life. However, they are generals, and every move determines the life and death of thousands of people. They must remain calm. The Hetao cavalry is unparalleled.
In the field battle, unless the three Northeastern countries have twice the number of troops, it will be absolutely difficult to fight against Hetao. However, if the opponent holds the city and defends it, the losses in Hetao will not be small. In Luo Xianghe Xuanji's planned strategy, Hetao went to Youyun Sixteen
Prefecture, it is best to attack only two places, namely Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan. In the remaining places, it is best to lure them out and annihilate them to reduce the losses of the soldiers in Hetao.
It is already May, and while the battle between Hetao and the Three Northeastern Countries is in full swing, other parts of the Eastern Continent are not resting either.
