Chapter 347 Bait

“Aye, you will not be able to fight with the Huns in the same state. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for the clan!” Duan Ji Lujuan took a step closer and said anxiously.

The battle between Bingzhou and the Xiongnu was a major event, and it quickly spread to the North, and naturally it also reached Duan Jilu’s ears. The battle against Pingzhou has now reached a deadlock. With the help of the ministry, Murong Xin easily repelled the coalition forces of Pingzhou and Yuwen. However, seeing that they were lost, Cui Yan immediately retreated to the city. In any case, it is also Pingzhou Governor, as long as he wants to hold on to the city, neither the Murong Department nor the Duan Department can easily capture it. In this way, it has become an extremely difficult thing to get the spoils from Pingzhou.

The locust plague in Youzhou shows no signs of abating. If the pasture is gnawed away, what would they use to herd horses and sheep? To survive such a disaster year, there must be more war gains. It is far from enough to just carve up the space of the Yuwenbu. Jizhou around him is the best goal.

The new port just built along the coast of Jizhou has accumulated an unknown amount of grain and grass. It is said that there are countless grain boats and grain trucks sent out every day. If it hadn’t been for fear of merging the state, they would have led their troops to seize it.

And now, it is the long-awaited opportunity. Binzhou had to face the Xiongnu army, and all the troops were suppressed in Hedong. Because of this, Duan Ji and Lu Zhuan rushed back to Youzhou at night, hoping to impress his father.

Duan Wuwuchen also knew that participating in the Battle of Pingzhou was not worth the loss, but behind the harbor, standing behind the harbour was the tiger from Bingzhou. Can it really be conquered by sending troops in a hurry? After pondering for a long time, he said: “Now the Ministry can only send 15,000 riders, maybe you can take the harbor?”

Not to mention that most of Duanbu’s troops are still stuck in Pingzhou, and some of the remaining soldiers and horses will also be left to guard against the cunning and greedy neighbour of Tuoba Bu. There are not many cavalry available.

Duan Ji’s eyes lit up, and he said loudly, “That’s enough! Now that there are refugees everywhere in Jizhou, if you go to attack, you may have civil strife immediately. Why can’t you get Haixing?!”

In a mere harbour, how high is the wall and how strong is the guard? Moreover, Haixing Port is very close to Youzhou. If it is fast-paced, it may be too late for the opponent to defend. Grain and grass are the next best thing. If you can seize the goods hoarded in the city, it will be an incalculable profit. He needs to get back the foe that year ago!

Seeing his son’s answer is so affirmative, Duan Wuwuchen finally put that worry behind him: “Then you will lead the troops and level Jizhou!”

“General, the puppet Han has invaded Hedong on a large scale, do you need to send troops to help?”

News of the war also reached Yuzhou. At this moment, Wang Dun is leading troops to clear up the banditry in Yuzhou, and there are also 20,000 soldiers. If you send troops from Yuzhou to pinch the pseudo-Han, you might be able to play a surprising role.

However, facing the advice of the general, Wang Dun just said coldly: “Have the court ordered me to help?”

The words were bad, and the movie hurriedly closed his mouth.

Send troops to aid Hedong? Only when he was faint, would Wang Dun act like this. The tiger in Binzhou has long since become a climate. Mo said that Sima Rui, the elder brother who actually controls the government, would not let him easily give aid.

Can you stop the Xiongnu? Will Hedong be lost? What does it have to do with Yangzhou? Rather than repelling the Huns, they hoped to see Bingzhou and the pseudo-Han go into a bitter battle, and both lose out.

With a cold snorted, Wang Dun said: “The soldiers of the state are strong and the horses are strong, and they have fought against the Huns several times. Why should others worry about it? Concentrate on the city, don’t miss a great fighter!”

The life or death of Binzhou has nothing to do with him. The Yuzhou in front of you is more important!

The same is the opening of the army, from Chang’an to Hedong, which is much closer than the one from Jinyang. However, Liu Yao didn’t rush forward. He kept walking in parallel and entered the Hedong area before he ordered Qingqi to start and explore the reality.

And this step really gave him a head start.

“The enemy wants to go to Yanchi?” Liu Yao was overjoyed when he heard the news.

Hedong Salt Lake is indeed an important target for the two armies to compete for. But in order to guard the salt pond, abandoning a big city like Anyi would be too underestimated!

You must know that Bingzhou soldiers and horses are the best at defending the city. If he stays at Anyi, he will not easily break the city with his 100,000 army. But going out of the city is another matter.

“Can’t let them station in Yanchi, immediately send troops to stop!” Liu Yao made a decisive decision and ordered.

The vicinity of Yanchi is mostly mountainous, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. If the opponent enters the salt pond and forms a horn with Anyi, he can easily contain his troops. But is the 50,000 fine rides that you bring with you just for viewing?

With Liu Yao’s order, all the cavalry came out. In any case, Qingqi’s speed was not comparable to that of infantry. He was stopped by the State Soldiers and Horses before they were even close to the salt pond. However, the opponent reacted swiftly, set up a car formation and camped on the spot.

It’s great to keep people behind!

Liu Yao didn’t expect the cavalry to break through the enemy’s formation, and immediately ordered to build a camp near the enemy’s camp. The terrain he chose is much more advantageous than the temporary camp in Binzhou. There are hills as a barrier to guard against sneak attacks and see the enemy from afar, and there are rivers for the army to drink, and there is no danger of water cut. It is foolproof.

And in the face of the threat of a hundred thousand troops, how can the state soldiers and horses still have the chance to withdraw safely? Seeing that he could not return to Anyi, the opponent also began to increase troops. The camp has also become thicker to the naked eye. But even Liu Yao never thought that he would see Shuai Qi in the enemy camp in front of him!

“Is that sick yangzi fought?” Liu Yao suddenly got up and laughed, “Good job!”

Liang Feng actually went to war. Is this finding that he is at a disadvantage and wants to boost morale? However, what Liu Yao hopes most is to lure the lord of the merged state. The two armies are facing each other in a field battle, and their own forces have surpassed the enemy. Isn’t this the best time to break the enemy? !

“Soldier tomorrow, visit the enemy’s camp!” A sharp light flashed in Liu Yao’s eyes, and the state soldiers and horses hurriedly set up camp. And the lack of food and grass at home, what is needed most is a quick fight. Can’t wait any longer, we must go to war as soon as possible!

The Huns are ready to go, and the camp on the opposite side is also fighting hard.

“The pseudo-Han soldiers have more and less food, so there will be no delay. I’m afraid there will be war in these two days.” Sitting by the sand table, Zhang Bin said.

The posture of adding troops to the salt pond this time is exactly the trap he set up. If the Huns did not stop them, they would split their forces and attack the enemy. If it comes to block, it is better. The two armies can naturally put on a confrontation position, and the posture of one’s own “forced block” is enough to make the enemy take it lightly and facilitate subsequent arrangements.

Now, the situation of confrontation has been formed, and the master’s handsome flag has been revealed. It is not difficult to guess the reaction of the enemy.

“There are many enemy cavalry. Once a battle begins, they will attack first. Careful arrangements need to be made before the battle.” Yi Yan said to the side.

This is also the most critical point after the war. It is not easy to deal with cavalry that is almost equal to one’s own in field battles. However, dragging the enemy head-on is the key to the subsequent strategy, and there is no room for failure!

“Although showing the enemy to be weak is a definite strategy, you don’t have to be too restrictive. Killing the opponent’s morale is good for the overall situation.” Liang Feng didn’t know where the key to this battle was, but he had no intention of backing down. This sentence was murderous.

Hearing this command from the lord, all the generals in the tent boiled with enthusiasm and clasped their fists to promise.

Standing at the top of the crowd, Yi Yan’s eyes were also sharp. This battle is the first time the lord has participated in the battle. Victory alone is not enough, we must win simply and neatly so that the enemy will not dare to offend lightly!

Just look at tomorrow, can you kill a game first!
