Guanyang, a heavy city in the northern part of Langya Prefecture, where the Xiaoguo Army entered. A few days ago, they thought that when Zhao Xun's army was still on the border of Qingzhou, the Xiaoguo Army suddenly entered Langya Prefecture and broke into three counties in a row.
He suddenly appeared under Guanyang City, the heavy city in the northwest, and took the city with the help of the inner support in the city.
In the following days, in Yanzhou, the middle army of Xiaoguo Army headed south, and the rebels of Xuzhou went north, cutting Yanzhou in one fell swoop, cutting off the material supply in Langya Prefecture, trapping it in Langya Prefecture, and Zhao Xun's chief army headed down the north.
Oppression, compress the living space of the Guards.
The guards of Langya Prefecture were not willing to be trapped and died here. The army gathered. Under the leadership of General Hu Yi of the Guard, he wanted to go north and join the guards of Donglai Prefecture. It was not that he did not want to go south or advance west.
But the interception there is even more powerful.
Dongchao County, Hu Yi's army was temporarily stationed here, and the army headed north was not that simple. Zhao Xun's cavalry army followed him like a shadow. Once he showed his flaws, he would be bitten by the Xiaoguo Army.
Hu Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"General, our army's food and grass have been exhausted, what should we do?" Just as Hu Yi was heading towards the evacuation route, the quarantine officer came to report.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Hu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Let each department handle it themselves. Since the people of each prefecture don't like us, what's the point of estimating us? Take it!"
Lincheng!
Zhao Xunzheng discussed the trend of the guards with his generals, and suddenly a small school stepped inside and reported: "Grandmaster, the Grand Governor, the guards divided into five groups this morning, each with four or five hundred cavalry leaving Dongchao County, Yang
The city, Pingshou City robbed everywhere.”
"Oh?" Zhao Xun said passionately: "So the guards have been exhausted!"
Hu Xiang said: "After the publicity of the Xiaoguo Army and the Qingzhou Governor, the imperial edict, the Qingzhou prefectures dare not provide anything to the guards anymore. In addition, the people here have no good feelings for the guards. They have been stationed in Langya Prefecture for nearly two years.
, The Guards did not do much good things, but they did a lot of bad things."
Zhao Xun said: "Since that's the case, we should act. It is a sign that we have worked hard to move away from the old nest of Langya Mansion. Especially his nearly 10,000 cavalrymen are a great disaster to us and cannot
I chased me too close. I was short of food. It was impossible to get food near Dongchao County! Hu Xiang obeyed the order."
Hu Xiang, the chief commander of the guard camp, stepped forward and said quickly: "The last one is here."
Zhao Xun said: "You immediately go to Linji County and lead three thousand infantrymen and two thousand civilians to carry grain trucks. The trucks can carry more stones and dead grass, and cover them with linen, and come along the Lindao to Lincheng.
After nightfall, you will leave the road and walk along Qinshui. If you see the guards chasing you, you should not be entangled. Just go to the Qinshui River beach and retreat to the Geqinshui River beach and immediately raise the fire as a sign."
Hu Yi said: "The last general will receive the order."
Zhao Xun said again: "Wei Chen, Xu Le obeys the order."
Wei Chen and Xu Le walked forward side by side and shouted loudly: "The last general is here."
Zhao Xun said: "Each leader of 5,000 infantry troops ambushed deep in the dense forests on both sides of the Qinshui River. However, when the river beach was on fire, he rushed to follow the subordinates to cover up the killing of the food guards, killing them in one fell swoop."
Wei Chen, Xu Le responded loudly: "The last general will receive the order."
Zhao Xun said again: "Han Meng obeys the order."
Han Meng took a step forward and said quickly: "The last one will be there."
Zhao Xun said: "Lincheng is the headquarters of our army, and we must not lose it easily. If you lead 8,000 troops to stay here, you must not open the city gate without the arrival of our governor!"
Han Meng said: "The last general takes the order."
Zhao Xun finally said: "The other generals can lead their headquarters and follow the general to attack Yangcheng on the right side of the Guards."
The generals responded loudly: "Abide by the order."
…………
Dongchao County.
Ten days ago, the army was broken northward, and Zhao Xun's troops chased him. Hu Yi's navy fought with him, and Zhao Xun went to cherub city. Hu Yi's army went straight north, and Zhao Xun led his army to raid, using everything he could do.
No one in the Guards could sleep well, and they could not eat well, and they were very miserable. They had to turn to attack the Dongchao, which was connected to Langya Prefecture and Gaomi Prefecture, and Yangcheng, the four cities of Pingshou, Yangcheng, to rest. Although the Dongchao City was
It is the smallest, but it is located in the center of the other two cities. Therefore, Hu Yi saw the guards' flag hanging on this city, but the Dongchao city has few people. Although the other two cities are large, it is also because of the Xiaoguo Army and the Qingzhou Prefecture Army.
The action made the city's food stock limited, less than ten days, and after a few days, the army's food and grass had been exhausted, and he was helpless. Hu Yi had to send troops out of the city to rob.
After dark, various guards who left the city to rob, returned one after another. The gains were extremely limited.
A general said with a bitter face: "General, all the people around him have fled for dozens of miles. There is no ghost in many villages, and they can't get any food at all. This is done by the Xiaoguo Army.
Making up everywhere will ruin our reputation.”
A general suggested: "General, if you really can't do it, just kill the horse, right?"
"Nonsense!" The cavalry generals said angrily: "Even if you starve to death, you must not kill horses! If you kill war horses, how can you fight with the official army? It's simply nonsense. If our cavalry hadn't been on the side, the Xiaoguo Army would have long been
As we retreated, we attacked with force.”
The general who made the suggestion muttered, "But you can't let your brothers fight against the Xiaoguo army on hunger, right?"
Hu Yi took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't make noise, don't be anxious. Let me think of a solution, there will definitely be a solution."
"Report..." As soon as Hu Yi finished speaking, his personal soldiers rushed into the hall. The servant ran to Hu Yi and said anxiously, "General, good... good news."
Hu Yi said anxiously: "What good news?"
The personal soldiers breathed and said, "Just just now, a grain truck drove out from Linji City on the northwest side. They were traveling south along the Jing River, and were about to enter the Xiaoguo Army base in Lincheng."
"Oh?" Hu Yi looked up and asked anxiously: "How many carriages are there?"
The personal soldier said: "At least a thousand vehicles!"
“How many army escorts are there?”
"At least three thousand elite soldiers, two thousand young and strong!"
"Two thousand elite soldiers!"
Hu Yi frowned. After the recent confrontation, he had already experienced the power of the elite infantry of the Xiaoguo Army. Among them were heavy armored infantry, all of whom were strong and covered in heavy wooden armor, holding several feet in hand.
The long spear was not afraid of the charge of the guards and cavalry. If he wanted to rob food, he would also have to quickly break through the opponent's defense line and leave before the opponent's reinforcements arrived.
Yang Fei, the cavalry general Guidelang, said in a narrow voice: "General, is this the trick of the Xiaoguo Army? It is a strategy to lure the enemy!"
The personal soldier shook his head and said, "The ruts of the grain truck are very deep, unlike empty trucks."
Hu Yi looked deep. This team of food and grass might be the trick of the Xiaoguo Army, maybe not, but he had no choice. Even if he had only a little chance, he had to do his best! Because the food and grass in the city had been exhausted, if he didn't find a way,
The brothers are really going hungry. Even Gaomi Mansion can't enter, so they can join the northern guards and escape. But they still don't know that the guards' navy has been wiped out and there is no one left in the north.
way.
Hu Yi took a breath and said in a calm voice: "Send orders to the other two cities, let their infantry go with me and rob the grain. The other troops will guard the city firmly and never relax."
…………
On the official road south of Linji, Hu Xiang led 3,000 infantry and 2,000 green and brave men to escort a thousand grain trucks at night, igniting the ground torches into a long dragon, with the head and tail stretching for a few miles.
.
"Dada..."
"Um?"
Just as he was moving forward slowly, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind. Hu Xiang groaned and turned his head, and saw a horse flying like a flying horse following the official road from the northwest under the light and dark fire.
Just rushed over.
"General... the Grand Governor has heard news that the guards have left the city! I hope the general is careful."
"Is that so? The guards were indeed trapped!" Hu Xiang said in a narrow voice: "How many troops did the guards come?"
"There are eight thousand cavalry!"
"Eight thousand cavalry!" Hu Xiang said sternly: "So, the general of the guard gathered all the cavalry and wanted to make a desperate bet, so that they would never come back. People come and send orders, all
The army accelerated its marching and rushed to the Qinshui River beach immediately."
"Qinshui River Beach?" A lieutenant said in confusion: "Qinshui River Beach is a swamp where people and horses are hard to move. If the grain trucks are trapped in, I am afraid they will not be able to get out. General, this..."
Hu Xiang said: "What are you doing when you ask so many questions? Go and execute it!"
Hu Xiang's military order was quickly conveyed, and the grain team that was originally moving slowly quickly accelerated its speed and rushed towards the Qinshui River beach.
…………
On the plain twenty miles east of the Qinshui River beach, Hu Yi led 8,000 iron cavalry to sweep south.
"Report..." A cavalry galloped from the west and came to Hu Yi: "General, the Xiaoguo Army's grain transport team suddenly accelerated the marching speed."
"Huh? That's right!" Hu Yi said excitedly: "If it was the trick of the Xiaoguo Army, the grain transport team should go slowly and lure our army to rob the grain. Now it suddenly accelerates the marching speed, which is enough to prove that
This grain transport team is not a trick, and the loading truck should be food and grass. They discovered our cavalry and wanted to speed up the escape!"
The left and right generals complimented: "General is wise."
"Haha...the merits of all the troops!" Hu Yi laughed and said, "Transfer our military orders, and the entire army will speed up the marching and chase me!"
Hu Yi's guards chased the west less than ten miles further west, and another horse scattered his horse galloped back from the front.
"General, the Xiaoguo Army's grain transport team suddenly abandoned the official road and retreated into the Qinshui River beach."
"Qinshui River Beach? It's a swamp where people are hard to move." Hu Yi looked solemn at first, then laughed: "This is even more true. The guards' grain transport team knew that there was no hope of escaping, so they wanted to use this
The terrain of the river beach offsets the sprint advantage of our army's iron cavalry, trying to resist stubbornly and wait for rescue!"
The cavalry general said, "But this swamp is not conducive to the cavalry charge, which is indeed a problem."
Hu Yi said coldly: "Although the swamp is not conducive to cavalry charge, don't forget that our guards can fight on horseback, and the same is true for dismounting. In any case, the food and supplies must be obtained. The order is sent! The entire army ran at the speed of sprinting.
Qinshui River Beach.”
With Hu Yi's order, the eight thousand iron cavalry immediately spread along the plain on the left bank of Qinshui like a flood, sweeping towards the Qinshui River beach and mountains and fields. He had to smash the city and get news.
Before coming to rescue, he defeated the soldiers who were carrying food and grass, and there were a lot of food and grass.
…………
Qinshui River Beach.
Hu Xiang's three thousand infantry were ready for battle, and a thousand grain trucks were crossed over, and a temporary wall was built on the front of the wide area. The black spearmen lined up next to the grain trucks, and the burning torches were burning.
The entire Qinshui River beach is as bright as daytime, and behind it is the wide and cold Qinshui River.
Suddenly, a small flashing fire suddenly appeared on the northern horizon. In less than a moment, the flashing fire spread around, and the light became brighter and brighter, when the sound of iron hoofs covering the sky
When it swept through, it finally surged into a turbulent sea of fire. Under the illumination of countless torches, people were everywhere, and the guards came in the dark night like a devil...
