A hill to the west of Yuanju County.
Zhao Bingkun has not spoken for a long time.
Not only did he not speak, Zhao Nianci also had no more words.
Twilight has fallen, and although the battle by the river is far from over, the outcome has already been decided.
The Pinglu Army's 20,000-step cavalry came from the direction of Caozhou. After they appeared, they attacked the Xuanwu Army's right army at the waist. Cooperating with the offensive of the Spike Army and the Yuanju County Defenders, they quickly defeated the Xuanwu Army in chaos.
After the 20,000 Pinglu Army defeated the Xuanwu Army's right army, they separated a part of the left army along the river bank and entered the left army, forming an encirclement trend. After cutting off the retreat of the opponent's retreating ships, the Xuanwu Army could only retreat to the left along the river bank. At the same time as the collapse, the elite were sent out to directly attack the ships and sailors.
After dark, countless fires were lit by the riverside. In this one-sided massacre, the soldiers of Pinglu Army and Yuanju County were able to calmly chase and kill Xuanwu Army with torches.
As a result, countless Xuanwu soldiers fell into the water in a hurry, and the mountains and plains were full of howling.
Zhao Bingkun is well-informed and has won many battles himself, but he is still shocked by the scene in front of him.
It is unbelievable to defeat 40,000 to 50,000 Xuanwu army vanguards in one hour. However, in the eyes of Zhao Bingkun and others who watched the battle, this is so reasonable.
At the end, Zhao Bingkun turned to look at Zhao Nianci.
The other party bit his lips tightly, his body trembled slightly, his face still had a look of astonishment, but there was fear in his eyes.
Before Zhao Bingkun could speak, Zhao Nianci said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Qingcheng is worthy of being a good general in the world. Even if I am in her position, I can't do better than her."
Zhao Bingkun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Nianci to admit Shangguan Qingcheng's toughness so frankly.
Zhao Nianci gritted his teeth and continued: "The choice of the timing of the battle, the deployment of the troops, and the bravery and fearlessness of the battle, there is no one in the world who can do better than her, even my father—I'm afraid it can't."
Zhao Bingkun nodded, had to admit this, and then he said: "The attack was launched an hour before dark, and it seemed to underestimate the enemy, but it actually made Zhu Yin hesitate. In order to avoid stepping into a trap, he could only take a defensive position."
"The deployment of troops is deeply rooted in the essence of the art of war. The so-called one-bomb, then decline and three-time exhaustion, the Spike Army, the Yuanju County Defender, and the follow-up Pinglu Army attacked three times. With the expansion of the battle results, the offensive gradually increased, and finally the momentum was so strong that it was unstoppable."
"But Zhu Yin's army was in a defensive position, and there was no chance for their morale to be strengthened. When they saw the enemy three times, their own side was suppressed three times, and their momentum became weaker and weaker."
"During the battle, the Spike Army marched forward indomitably, defeated Zhu Yin's battle formation, and grasped the initiative on the battlefield from the beginning, and could inspire all ministries to take the lead bravely, and also made Zhu Yin's army fearful from the beginning."
Zhao Nianci's eyes were sharp, "Zhu Yin's subordinates originally had fine cavalry, which was enough to confront the Spike Army head-on. If the two armies' fine cavalry confronted each other, even if the Spike Army could defeat the opponent, the strength of the military formation would be greatly damaged, and they would no longer be able to attack the cavalry. Army defense formation."
"However, as early as the beginning, the fine cavalry under Zhu Yin's command were attracted by the Caozhou army. As a result, there was no fine cavalry here to counter the Spike Army and share the pressure for the infantry. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything. Zhu Yin is not weak, and the Xuanwu army is also very strong, but it is a pity that they met Shangguan Qingcheng this time!"
Zhao Bingkun looked at Zhao Nianci with piercing eyes, "It seems that you have already highly respected Shangguan Qingcheng."
Zhao Nianci said: "She deserves the attention and awe of any general."
Zhao Bingkun said: "Before you thought she would lose this battle."
Zhao Nianci tightened his grip on the reins: "That was my mistake!"
Zhao Bingkun nodded: "It seems that this time is not in vain."
Zhao Nianci said: "If you don't come this time, today's Zhu Yin will be tomorrow's Zhao Nianci!"
Zhao Bingkun had a smile on his face, "You are finally not so proud anymore."
"No, I'm still proud!" Zhao Nianci met Zhao Bingkun's eyes, "It's just that I am no longer arrogant. Shangguan Qingcheng made me believe that there are really mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people. She is the most cherished opponent, but I, Zhao Nianci, am not a mediocre person, and I will never lose to her in the battle in the future!"
Zhao Bingkun nodded and said, "Look forward to that day for my father."
Zhao Nianci's eyes became solemn, even a little sacred: "I also look forward to the day when I fight her."
In life, there are always some opponents who force you to reflect on yourself and keep getting stronger, because the opponent is too strong, and you must improve yourself in all aspects to have the possibility of defeating the opponent.
From time to time, the crowd left the hill.
...
When the report of the grievances came back to Yunzhou, Li Ye was at the banquet hosted by Xue Wei.
Hearing that Shangguan Qingcheng defeated Zhu Yin in the first battle, and completely defeated the vanguard of the 50,000 Xuanwu Army, all the Tianping officials and generals who were full were stunned, and some even dropped their wine glasses to the ground.
After regaining consciousness, the officials and generals hurriedly got up and left their seats, went to the hall to worship in awe and excitement, and bowed their heads to congratulate Li Ye.
At this point, the banquet suddenly turned into a military discussion, and the generals present asked for orders to lead the troops to fight, and wanted to show off against the main force of the Xuanwu Army.
They were afraid of the Xuanwu army's front, especially Zhu Wen's Dao soldiers. No one dared to raise the issue of war, because participating in the war meant a huge risk of death.
Now knowing that the soldiers were stopped by the monster monks, Shangguan Qingcheng defeated Zhu Yin in an hour, and immediately believed that Li Ye could lead them to defeat Zhu Wen.
At this time, participating in the war has become a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
To this, Li Ye naturally agreed to all of them. In this battle, the seven towns of Hebei had to fight together with Pinglu and Tianping.
The night banquet quickly dissipated, Li Ye did not go back to rest, but took Su Emei alone, and crossed the river to the north at night to Weizhou in Weibo territory.
The left wing of Caozhou, Dungzhou, is now led by Liu Dazheng to attack, while the right wing of Caozhou, Huazhou, needs to be solved by Li Ye himself.
Caozhou now only has the Pinglu Army and the Tianping Army, and the troops from the Seven Towns of Hebei are still on the north bank of the Yellow River, and some of them have moved to the territory of Weizhou now.
Weizhou and Huazhou are across the river, and Wei County is the front line.
The army of the seven towns in Hebei, except for Lu Longjun who was still guarding the border in Youzhou to guard against Khitan, the other six towns sent troops to participate in the Central Plains War.
Among them, the Hengjun Navy crossed the river in Jeju, and the main force of the Pinglu Army went eastward along the Jishui River. After a few days, they would arrive in Yunzhou and then go to the front line of Caozhou.
The Wei Bo Army, Cheng De Army, and Yiwu Army gathered in Weizhou and Xiangzhou. They responded to the offensive on the left wing of the Tianping Army.
Under the leadership of Li Zhen, the Hedong Army and Zhaoyi Army gathered in Qinzhou and Zezhou. On the one hand, they were guarding against Li Maozhen's Hezhong Army, and on the other hand, they were also ready to cross the river and go down the river at any time, either to attack the Luoyang Army, or to directly attack the Bianzhou Xuanwu Army. .
Among the six towns in Hebei, Weibo and Hedong are Li Ye's direct-administered forces. The soldiers and horses are mobilized like arm's length. Henghai and Zhaoyi's army also conquered Hedong with Li Ye. The military orders will not be discounted, except for the Chengde army. , It was the first time for the Yicheng Army to fight with Li Ye, so Li Ye had to take care of them more.
Now the two armies of Chengde and Yiwu have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and many of them have joined Wei Bo's army and stationed in Weizhou.
Suddenly, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Wei County.
When Li Ye came to Wei County, the morning sun was just rising.
Simple but not simple fortifications were built in places where the river banks were wide enough for sailors to land. Stone walls, military forts, and archery towers interlaced into a network, forming a powerful defense force.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
The roads between several fortifications have obviously been repaired, the road surface has been widened a lot, and the rammed earth is very strong, which can greatly increase the speed of soldiers and horses responding to each other, and it is also convenient for transporting food and luggage.
Behind these fortifications, there are beacon towers connected in a line on the vast land, which looks desolate and magnificent.
Of course Li Ye knew that this was the military defense system that Zhang Wence built for the invasion of the Anti-Slip Prefecture Yicheng Army when he was the county magistrate of Wei County. For this reason, he also offended the governor of Wei Prefecture at that time.
Outside the city of Wei County, there is a large army company battalion for more than ten li, and more than 100,000 troops are stationed here, ready to rush to the Yellow River at any time, cross the south of the river and enter the territory of Huazhou.
Although it was still early, the inside and outside of Wei County was already very lively, with chariots, horses, civilian husbands, and soldiers transporting various supplies.
In front of the city wall of Wei County, a young official dressed in a scarlet fourth-rank civil official robe was directing the transportation of supplies with several officials in green and green official robes, and from time to time some people led the orders and rushed to various places.
Although it was still early and the autumn day was already cool, the young official was still sweating profusely. But he didn't notice it at all, and it was obvious that he was full of energy and energy.
This is Zhang Wence, the new governor of Weizhou.
Li Ye did not expect that he would come to Wei County in person to direct and coordinate the dispatch of supplies for the army.
But it is normal to think about it carefully. The three armies of Chengde, Yicheng, and Weibo have assembled a lot of soldiers and horses in Weixian County, Weizhou. As Weizhou County, Weizhou, which supplies a part of food, fodder, medicine and other materials, of course, it needs a senior official to sit in charge in order to better handle various affairs.
Zhang Wence was talking to the assistant officer next to him, and he felt his body lighten unexpectedly. Immediately, the officials on the ground disappeared from sight, and he himself was lifted into the air by a force!
Zhang Wence was furious immediately, and scolded without looking back: "Which bastard is going to die, and dare to tease this official?! Hurry up and let this official down, otherwise you will not be able to eat and walk around!"
Over the past few days, because of the dispatch of food, fodder and supplies, he has had red eyes with some unruly generals. Those arrogant soldiers are very difficult to deal with. Yesterday, a cultivator in the real world threatened him in the air and asked him to give priority to delivering supplies to their military camp.
For this group of soldiers, it is impossible to be soft, Zhang Wence can only be more muddled than them, so he subconsciously shouted angrily.
Then he saw Li Ye on the cloud in front of him, with his hands behind his back and smiling at him, against the background of a woman with a temperament like a fairy.
"An... His Royal Highness King An?!"
Seeing clearly that it was Li Ye in front of him, Zhang Wence was dumbfounded. He never expected that the other party would appear here, and immediately saluted excitedly: "Greetings to Your Highness King An! I'm just being rude, Your Highness, please punish me!"
Li Ye waved his hand and signaled Zhang Wence not to mind, "You have just returned to Weizhou to take up the post, and it is really not easy to deal with such a big mess. Although your Weizhou only provides a small part of the food and supplies for the hundreds of thousands of troops, time is short after all. , It’s inevitable that you’ll be very busy. But I think that although Wei County is busy, the distribution of supplies is still orderly, and you’ve done a good job.”
Zhang Wence was even more excited when he received the praise, his face flushed a little, "Serving His Highness, I dare not fail to cheer up!"
