Sweep the World

The Han army’s previous encounter with Shijie’s General Zhao State rarely had any twists and turns, basically it was a straight-forward approach to war. How many troops came directly, and then the two armies opened their positions, even if they had a strategy, they just came to the battlefield. At the tactical level, the strategy at the campaign level was never seen.

This time Yao Yizhong was different. He came to the north bank of the Yellow River section of Qingzhou and did some seemingly complicated things from the beginning, which was different from other Shijie Zhao Jun. The difference is directly reflected in the activity level, such as the difference in collective consciousness.

The Qiang army in Qinghe County and Pingyuan County was estimated by the Han army to be 400,000. That was a number that included the old, weak, women and children. It was not all soldiers, and it was in line with the custom of the whole family standing shoulder to shoulder when the Hu people fought.

"The number placed on the edge of the Yellow River is about 120,000. From a distance, they are basically young and strong, and from the perspective of clothing, they are mostly Qiang people."

Who let the Han army have a telescope here? Even if it is hundreds of miles away from the Yellow River, you can actually see it more clearly with a telescope.

"Recently, Yao Yizhong ordered strict inspections and clean-ups, and our scouts' activities in the North Shore have become increasingly difficult."

The scouts on the north bank of the Yellow River rely on homing pigeons to convey information to the south bank, and homing pigeons were actually used for message transmission during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.

Repeated wars means that the scouts are the first to enter the battlefield and even carry out reconnaissance in the enemy's area of ​​activity. They are the most dangerous soldiers.

A qualified scout is not well-trained. Every scout is definitely a veteran of a hundred battles. The death of a qualified or even excellent scout will have no less impact on the army than hundreds of recruits killed in battle.

Given that Yao Yizhong began to target the Han army scouts, the recent losses of the Han army scouts have been staggering. The original investigation on the north bank of the Yellow River was foggy, and the massive losses of the scouts directly made the Han army command center even more unclear about the intelligence of the Qiang army.

Liu Yan must ask: "Is it possible that he will cross the river before the flood season?"

how to say? The number of troops placed along the Yellow River by the Han Army was a bit smaller. No matter how you look at Yao Yizhong's troops, they have an absolute advantage in numbers.

Because of the lack of intelligence, no one can tell Liu Yan exactly the answer. The Han army can only strengthen the necessary combat readiness, and the investigations along the coast also need to be strengthened.

As the situation on both sides of the Yellow River became more and more tense, some of the rest of the news continued to gather here to Liu Yan.

First, the Emperor Li Shou of Cheng Han died, and his eldest son Li Shi succeeded to the throne as the new emperor. Li Shou finally came to a conclusion, the posthumous name was Emperor Zhaowen, and the temple name was Zhongzong, and he was buried in Anchang Mausoleum.

After Li Shi became Cheng Han's new emperor, Cheng Han and the Han Tribe had a setback in the originally negotiated trade, and Cheng Han and others in Xia Mi were recalled. And there was an incident that Li Shi was rumored to re-establish an alliance with Shi Hu. So, does Li Shi's recall of Cheng Han and others in Xia Mi make sense?

In addition to Chenghan, there was also new news from Tongguan. Ran's Qin army went out of the pass and fought an offensive battle. First attacked from Xiaoguan to defeat the Shijie Zhao army outside the pass, and waited for the Shijie Zhao army outside Tongguan to pay attention to the Xiaoguan battle. Some people under Li Nong rebelled. Qin Jun of Ran clan came out again, but Qin Jun of Ran clan on the road to Tongguan came out of the pass but encountered Fuhong ambush.

In a short period of thirteen days, the Qin army of Ran clan and the Shijie Zhao army from outside the pass were once again bloodied. The 50,000 Ran clan Qin army who left the pass escaped back into the pass with only more than three thousand. There are seven to eighty thousand, of which the begging army bears 60% of the casualties. In this way, Ran's Qin Jun really killed one thousand enemies and harmed himself eight hundred.

Of course, the Han Ministry, which has been paying attention to the east of Liao 1 East, also got news from Murong Yanjun. Murong Yanjun, who has been a cat for a few months, is taking Muronghan as his commander and leading his army for 40,000 as the pioneer to open the direction of Youzhou. The stranger is half. On the way, Murong Han was seriously ill, so he made a good march and stopped at Lingzhicheng, which was on the edge of Bashui.

Shi Bin had capable people under his command, and they didn't know how they learned that Murong Han was seriously ill. Qingqi rushed into Murong Yan's army and defeated the Murong Yan army who had lost command in Lingzhi City, forcing Murong Yan's army to escape Bashui.

Murong Han was crossing the river while he was ill. It seemed that he fell into the water because he was accidentally. Although he was rescued, his condition worsened and he died soon after.

The fact is that Murong Han was already injured by an arrow when he fought Yuwen Xianbei. If history does not change, Murong will die.

This time, it was Murong Yanguo Taiwei Feng Yi's idea for Murong Han to lead the army. What he wanted was for Murong Han to leave for the army. If Murong Han died of illness, it was always better than Murong's death.

Speaking of it, Feng Yi didn't expect Shi Bin to take the initiative to attack. Murong Han was dead, but Murong Yanjun also lost nearly 10,000.

Because of such a thing, Feng Yi was not less blamed by the Murong clan. If Murong Xin had not re-sealed Yi, Feng Yi would definitely have a miserable end. After all, Murong Xianbei had internal fighting, but Murong Xianbei, who was in his ascendant period, was against the army. Cherish still pays more attention to it, and will not do the kind of thing that abandons more than ten thousand troops in order to kill one person.

When the overall intelligence was gathered up, Liu Yan discovered something with wonder. The seemingly misty Shi Jie and Zhao Kingdom did not dispatch the Jie tribe army. The counterattack of Ran's Qin Kingdom was settled by the servants. This is Murong Yan's first time. Going south was easily frustrated by Shi Bin. His cooperating partners... don't seem to work very well?

Yes, they are only partners, not allies.

It’s not that Liu Yan doesn’t look down on those countries, but it’s just that they are all competitors. The last time the parties met, Murong Yanguo did not discuss any alliance matters. Some just agreed to attack Shijie Zhao, indicating that Murong Yanguo was also involved. It was clear that there was no need for an alliance, but Ran’s Qin State and Zhang’s Liang State had made similar proposals, but the Han Dynasty did not confirm it.

The policy of non-alignment is Liu Yan's decision, and it is not appropriate for the Han Dynasty to form an alliance with anyone at present.

Murong Yanguo is ready to go south again, with Murong himself as the commander, Murong Jun as the former general and Murong Ba as the lieutenant. Should there be a total of 220,000 in the army?

Murong Yan's move was two hundred and twenty thousand, which was not a small number. After all, when the Murong Yan army swept the surrounding areas of Liao 1 East, the Murong Yan army only dispatched sixty thousand at most. Two hundred and twenty thousand should be almost out of the nest.

Liu Yan couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. They and Yao Yizhong are still in a stalemate across the Yellow River:

There is absolutely no doubt about the strength of Murong Yanguo. It can be seen from the fact that they will seize two-thirds of Shijie Zhao's land after the collapse.

The Shijie and Zhao Jun that the Han army faced was not a main battle force, but the Jie people's army had fought with Murong Yan's army more than once, and each time it seemed that Murong Yan's army had won the victory. From this point of view, who can deny the toughness of Murong Yanjun? no one!

At the beginning of June, there were floating wood and debris everywhere on the Yellow River section of Qingzhou, and this was not all the Qiang army left behind. Most of the wood and debris were actually drifted out of the sea.

One thing is funny. The wood that floated out of the sea was basically picked up by the ships of the Han Dynasty. After being stored in the warehouse, it became a part of the system's resources.

Liu Yan was actually shocked when he saw the data. They only collected the part of the sea. There were nearly two hundred miles of driftwood in the Yellow River watercourse. How many forests did the Qiang army cut down? Such a large-scale destruction of the forest would cause damage. What is the impact of the soil quality on the north bank of the Yellow River?

On June 13, the Qiang army finally had a new move.

"Are they going to lay wooden boards?"

"No doubt, yes."

Look at the north bank of the Yellow River, where people are densely packed, and some nailed wooden boards are simply piled up into mountains.

A soldier is trying to lay the nailed wooden plank on the river surface where the floating wood is piled up. The wooden plank is about two feet long and one feet wide. When it is placed on the wood of the river channel, it shook slightly and immediately stabilized.

After the first plank was placed and stabilized by iron cables, bursts of cheers were roared on the north bank of the Yellow River, which represented that the Qiang army’s plan for crossing the river was effective.

The Han army standing on the south bank of the Yellow River looked at each other. The Qiang army seemed to have the intention to cross the river, but... the garrison on the river bank did not receive any orders.

The Han army does not have many troops on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is only about 8,000. What they need to defend is at least six hundred miles of the river. How many miles should there be a Han army?

Yao Yizhong is personally supervising the feasibility of the plan. After the first plank is placed, it is the second and third... I don't know how many planks are placed and stacked repeatedly, and the river bank is extended by a plank bridge with a width of ten feet. It was about thirty feet away. Some cavalry had been sent to step on and gallop repeatedly. The wooden bridge seemed to shake slightly, but it didn't fall apart.

"What happened to the Han army on the other side?"

"Returning to the army owner, the fast horses of the Han army are quite moving, but for the time being, no new Han army has appeared."

Yao Yizhong should have been happy when he got the answer, but what was only in his heart was confusion.

There is a Han army on the south bank of the Yellow River. There are about 1,000 on the other side of the bridge. It is only so many. How about the Dongping Mausoleum with close to 20,000?

"It doesn't make sense." Yao Yizhong said in a confused tone: "Why didn't Liu Yan stop us from crossing the river?"

"Our judgment is that Liu Yan has insufficient military strength." U Yansheng is a Huns, but he is Shijie Zhao’s tiger-wing general. This time he will serve under Yao Yizhong: "There should be nothing wrong, after all. ... There are really too many places where Liu Yan needs soldiers."

General Tiger Wing, General Long Xiang, etc. are considered generals, also known as generals miscellaneous. The miscellaneous generals need to have another rank, that is, a captain with additional ranks and so on, in order to have real actual military power. The emergence of the miscellaneous generals is a characteristic of the later period of the Three Kingdoms, which lasted until the Hu people were in power, and they usually win over some people.

Of course, Yao Yizhong knew that Liu Yan needed more troops. He also knew that there were 80,000 Han troops on the Juyeze line alone, and even in Yuzhou there were about 60,000 Han troops, this time there were 140,000. , And the Han Dynasty has only risen for nearly five years.

Some intelligence shows that the total number of the Han army is only 200,000. There were already 140,000 Han troops on the Western Front, and about 30,000 Han troops on the opposite bank of Qinghe County and Pingyuan County. Then Liu Yan used 170,000 troops at once, and the occupied areas of the Han Dynasty also needed garrison. It looks like Liu Is there anything wrong in Yan's hands?

Although he can calculate those, Yao Yizhong really feels something is wrong, it is a wrong conclusion that can be drawn without much thinking.

"They..." Yao Yizhong said in a very strange tone: "I want us to cross the river!"

The Han army of about 30,000 can definitely not defend the Yellow River section that is nearly a thousand miles long. Even with 300,000 troops, it is impossible to defend such a long section of the Yellow River. Everything is too long and too long. To defend such a long section of the river, firstly a powerful and large number of inland water forces are needed, and secondly, to spy on the location of the invading army. This is an effective defense instead of passive waiting.

Is there only one landing point for the Qiang army? That is obviously impossible. They are doing a lot of fanfare here, but they are just experimenting. Once the river crossing plan is actually feasible, there will be many areas of slow flow in the Yellow River section, and those river sections can become river crossing points.

"Because they know, they will choose to let us cross the river." Of course, Yao Yizhong knows halfway to strike~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but it depends on the number of crossing points and the number of troops crossing the river. There are only a few. The crossing point is afraid of hitting halfway, and the loss of the crossing point is only a few. He asked: "I heard that the Han army is good at defending the city?"

Hu Yansheng nodded and said, "But... Liu Yan has done too obvious. What makes him so confident?"

It was too obvious that Liu Yan came over as a bait. There was no strong city on the Dongping Mausoleum, so that Liu Yan's behavior was very irrational.

"We need to cross the river." Yao Yizhong's inner helplessness is not enough for outsiders: "Any strategy requires a strong military to execute. In the end, the soldiers must work hard to fight for a victory or defeat."

It's just too reasonable to say that any war is a battle of iron and blood between the armies of the two sides. During the period, no matter if it is a strategy or a strategy, it is just a rant if there is no army to execute it.

The Qiang army acted wildly, and intelligence gathered intensively to Dongping Mausoleum where Liu Yan was located.

"So, there are 23 river crossing points arranged by Yao Yizhong?" Ji Chang was looking at the map. It was the section of the Yellow River along Qingzhou. He looked at Liu Yan, who had no expression on his face, and hesitated: "Jun. Come on, are we too risky?"

Liu Yan did not speak, he was also looking at the map.

The Han army in Jinan County really only has 30,000, and there are no strong fortresses here. The Qiang army who is about to cross the river is hundreds of thousands... Well, those imaginary ones are not counted. There are also those who can participate in the battle. One hundred and fifty thousand, would it be too big to use the 30,000 Han army to fight?

……split line……

Pit, fortunately, I have a look, otherwise it will fail automatically. The reason is...the honor setting is the wrong release time! u
