Li Luo was also surprised, but then he thought that no matter what, Prince Chun would not quietly abandon the city and retreat to Yinzhou. At this time, it was not possible to turn against each other, and Prince Chun did not dare to risk the world.
Damn it, the Northern Expedition generals were buried in the tiger's mouth. The only thing to worry about was that Xiang Liu'er had other plans and blocked the news of Jianbei City, so that it could not be conveyed for a while. Furthermore, Li Luo led his army to sneak into Linshan County.
It is easy to detect news about Jianbeicheng, but it is more difficult to detect the situation of the Northern Expedition army.
"What about the second one?"
"Secondly, the Caohai Allied Forces marched southward, targeting Yanchen Prefecture. They defeated the Northern Army's deputy marshal Yuan Zhen at Dingyang Mansion in Yanchen Prefecture. Afterwards, the Caohai Allied Forces took advantage of the situation and moved southward, defeating the Northern Army and defeating them.
It was difficult to withstand the sharp edge of the Caohai Allied Forces. Seven days ago, the Northern Expedition general Ling Gumian led his troops to stop the enemy and retreated undefeated. It was not until the small city of Qiling Mountain that Guan Dagan's army stopped its decline. Now Dagan's soldiers are blocking the enemy at the pass.
But the situation is extremely bad.”
"Qiling Mountain..." Li Luo's expression changed slightly, and he said calmly, "Have the Caohai Allied Forces arrived in the southeast area of Bantian Prefecture?"
"Exactly, Caohai Cavalry and Bantian Mansion are only separated by a river."
"What's the third piece of bad news?"
Hucha Dongchan looked at Li Luo and replied with a wry smile: "General, the Caohai army has stationed troops at Qingyuan Ferry and Yong'an Ferry along the Zhejiang River."
Li Luo was startled and said coldly: "Jianbei City was lost and there was no way out to the west; the Dingbei army retreated to Yinzhou and the way back south was cut off; the Caohai Allied Forces went south and pointed at Qiling Mountain, which meant that crossing the river to the east was impossible.
The retreat route. Now the Qingyuan Ferry and Yong'an Ferry along the river are also guarded by Caohai troops. As a result, we are already a lonely army."
The generals under the tent looked solemn, half worried and half angry. The Dingbei Army's elite soldiers and generals, who were well-known in Dagan, were so incompetent. They ignored the soldiers of the same Dynasty who were marching north to relieve the siege. When the army marched north to Bantian Prefecture,
Killing the enemy to gain fame is one, and feeling like a comrade is another. Now that the siege has been solved, it has put oneself in a dilemma. How can one not let the generals under his command feel resentful?
"What is the actual situation of the Caohai Allied Forces marching south to Yanchenzhou?"
"The information currently being investigated is not accurate enough. Yuan Zhen of the Dingbei Army sent a message that the enemy numbered 500,000. However, according to General Ling, there were about 300,000, and 90% of them were cavalry. In addition, in addition to the battle,
In addition to most of the cavalry, there are also rear army soldiers who provide food and grass. It seems that the Caohai Allied Forces will spend the winter in Yanchen Prefecture."
"Who leads the army?"
"Unknown."
"Which department in Caohai are the main soldiers?"
"It must be the Mongols, but the movements of the cavalry officers and soldiers from other tribes can be identified. This time they are even more powerful than before."
"How is the situation in Muzhou?" Li Luo glanced at Hucha Dongchan and asked in a solemn voice.
The worry in Hucha Dongchan's eyes flashed away, and he replied in a deep voice: "There is no news yet."
"Send a message to Muzhou to be careful of the Caohai cavalry going south. Also, it will be very difficult to resist the Caohai army with the power of one state. If things cannot be done, remember to preserve your strength and do things expediently. If the court has any excuses, why?
I will shoulder the responsibility."
Hucha Dongchan glanced at Li Luo and said in a low voice: "Thank you, General."
Li Luo shook his head gently, indicating that it was okay, and continued: "After the dilemma, there will be a killing situation. Yeliangzhou is already a dead place, and the time left for the Northern Expedition army is numbered. If it hadn't been for Meng Juezan this time
With an unintentional remark, tens of thousands of troops may be trapped alive in Linshan County. Dongchan, you will report all the military information in the past few days. In half an hour, you will come to the central military tent to discuss this matter.
The life and death of the 40,000 soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army are determined, and there is no room for error."
"Follow the general's order." All the generals saluted together, and except for calling Dongchan, the other generals left separately.
It is really difficult to sort out all the information collected in the past few days in half an hour and to decide on a plan to break the situation. Even Princess Mu Chan, who has always been fearless, can't help but feel a little sad. If God
There is no way in and no door, so there is nothing wrong with fighting to the death, but these soldiers under his command cannot let them die in vain.
Li Luo immersed himself in sorting out the news sent back by the scouts in the army. His expression was cold and solemn, but he did not look panicked. There was no confusion between his brows, and he was as clear as before. He occasionally muttered, and he seemed to be more confident, which made Hucha Dongchan
Gradually he calmed down, and it seemed that Li Luo had already made a plan.
Half an hour later, all the generals in the camp arrived. They had not left the Chinese army's tent to begin with, and were wandering around here. They were restless even if they were not ants on a hot pot.
When the generals entered the central military tent, Li Luo was drawing something on the marching map. General Hong Jun came forward and took a closer look. They saw that it was the distribution of the troops of the various tribes in Caohai. With Jianbei City as the boundary, it included Yangguan in the south.
All areas in the prefecture have been occupied by Xiang Liuer's army, cutting off the way south to Yinzhou. There are no less than 200,000 troops stationed here. Next is Jianbei City. The Caohai Allied Forces use Jianbei City as the cornerstone for their southward foothold. There is Caohai in the city.
Among the more than 100,000 cavalrymen. Including Qingyuan Ferry and Yong'an Ferry, as well as the Xiongguan Limaguan heading north out of Mobei, the Caohai soldiers entrenched in Yeliang Prefecture at this time will have nearly half a million people. Compared with
The confrontation in front of Qiuque Mansion that day would involve several times more soldiers.
Across the river, the situation in Yanchen Prefecture is not much better than that in Yeliang Prefecture. However, Ling Gumian has emerged and restrained the defeat of Dagan. Now he is regrouping in Xiaoshiguan, Qiling Mountain, in an attempt to wash away the decline. It's just a small matter.
The battle situation outside Shiguan is too far away from Jianbei City. Even if there is a victory or defeat, it will be difficult to influence the situation in Beifu, which means that it is beyond our reach.
Further northeast of Beifu is Muzhou. There is no urgent military report yet, but this time the Caohai is approaching fiercely, and both Yeliang and Yanchen Prefectures have been conquered. Naturally, Xiang Liuer will not miss Muzhou alone.
state, but the Muzhou cavalry is famous all over the world, and even the Mengjue cavalry may not be able to take advantage of it.
A marching map, scarlet everywhere, almost connected into one piece, shrouding Yeliang Prefecture and Yanchen Prefecture in the north under the red light that showed the danger of the army. And among them, there was a dazzling sky-blue mark, which made
The generals looked at it with mixed feelings in their hearts, neither laughing nor crying, they were really helpless.
Hong Jun tugged at his beard, gritted his teeth and said, "Our manpower is not enough for the Caohai Allied Forces. General, are your blue marks too big?"
The generals almost carried them in one breath. Looking at the extremely dangerous situation, Hong Jun paid attention to whether the blue mark drawn by Li Luo to indicate the Da Gan Northern Expedition was a little too big, probably because he was too dissatisfied with Yangguan Mansion and Jianbeicheng.
The number of troops stationed by the Caohai Alliance Army is somewhat disproportionate.
