Chapter 406 Jing Ping's Army is in Action (Second Update + Third Update, Two Updates In One)

The battle at Sishui Pass was in full swing, with hundreds of thousands of coalition troops and more than [-] elite soldiers of the imperial court. Relying on Sishui Pass, the fight was evenly matched.

Time begins to enter April.

The weather is getting warmer, and this big battle is getting more and more accumulated.

On the north side of the Guanzhong battlefield, the battle between Jingping Army and Youzhou Army also kicked off.

Dongjun, Baima County.

Dangyin County is located in the northeast of Hanoi, continuing to the northeast, it is Neihuang County in Wei County, which is the way to enter Hebei, and going southeast is Baima County in Dongjun County of Yuzhou.

In this era, the roads were not smooth. In those days, the first emperor built the Tianxia Road to connect the counties. After 400 years of continuous construction by the Han Dynasty, the official roads were hidden, barely maintaining the connection between the counties.

Marching is a large-scale movement of soldiers, and only the official path is the best path.

If you want to go south to Suanzao, you must go to Baima.

It was evening when Jing Ping's army entered Baima County.

The county soldiers in Baima County were all transferred from Dongjun County and became part of the Yanzhou Army. There were only a hundred young and strong patrolling the county, and the Jingping Army naturally occupied Baima without destroying it.

"My son, there are only the county magistrate and the county magistrate in Baima County. They are civil officials and have been detained. The county magistrate led the Baima county soldiers to Suanzao. In the county, there is only chatting about the soldiers, which is not a problem. On the contrary, there are some nobles in the city. Bing, you need to control it!"

Zhang Liao reported.

"Then try to keep them under control!"

Mu Jing said: "From today onwards, the gates of the city will be closed and no entry or exit will be allowed. Try not to let the news of our entry into East County spread, and keep calm. We need time to go south. The more mysterious it is, the more unexpected it is to catch it unawares!"

Although he knew that after the army entered Dongjun, the news might not be hidden for long, but it would be better if they could hide it for as long as possible. If they could hide the information of the march before entering the Yellow River, their chances of victory in this battle would be very high. Eighty percent or more.

"promise!"

Zhang Liao bowed his hands and took the command.

"My lord, how long will we stay in Baima?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"At least one day!"

Mu Jing replied: "In order to get out of Hanoi and Dangyin County, the soldiers of our army have consumed too much physical strength, and we must have enough time to replenish their physical strength!"

Although Dangyin County is an excellent hidden spot, the surrounding roads are too difficult to walk.

In order to get out, they went round and round and walked a lot of wronged mountain roads, before they were considered to have left Hanoi and entered Baima County. At this time, they had to take a rest.

"I'm afraid that if we stay here for too long, it will alarm the Youzhou army!"

Xi Zhicai said worriedly: "Even if we close the city gates, some local snakes in the city can still find a way to spread the news!"

"Let Zhang Liao keep an eye on it, it should be able to prevent it. As for the Suanzao, Shuzhi should be able to cover us at this time!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said confidently: "Let Shuzhi's fifth battalion stay in Hanoi. Attract attention!"

Chen Dao's Fifth Battalion was still in Hanoi, in Chaoge, and Chaoge went south, but it was Suanzao.

Between them, Suanzao is to the south of the Yellow River, Chaoge is to the north of the Yellow River, and Baima County is to the northeast.

Hiding the main force, going east from Dangyin, entering Baima, and then going straight to Yanjin from Baima, this is a strategic deployment. If successful, it will break through the defense line of the Yellow River Ferry without any effort, and directly enter the city of Suanzao.

……

Hanoi, Chaoge.

Chen Dao is rectifying the strength of the Fifth Battalion under his command. The Fifth Battalion suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Chao Ge, and now only two-thirds of its strength is not enough, and there are thousands of Hanoi prisoners guarding it. The pressure is huge.

"Master Captain, Hanoi has captured more than [-] soldiers. Not only does our Fifth Battalion have to guard them every day, but it also consumes a lot of food. Let's deal with it as soon as possible!" Zhang Shi clapped his hands and asked.

"Why don't I know!"

Chen Dao also scratched his head, but it is not an easy task to deal with these Hanoi prisoners: "But they can't be killed, they can't be taken, it's really a trouble to deal with them like this!"

He sighed, and said: "The most important thing is that Shizi's plan is just beginning, but we are unable to move because of these captives. Otherwise, if the soldiers overwhelm the Yellow River, we will attract the Suanzao coalition army!"

For him, these captives are troublesome. The most important thing is that these captives are still stronger than him. Once the turmoil breaks out, even if the suppression goes on, the Jingping Fifth Battalion may suffer certain casualties.

The existence of these captives has seriously affected the recuperation of Jingping Fifth Battalion.

"Master Captain, I have an idea!" Zhang Shi said.

As the first batch of excellent martial arts students in Jingping Wubeitang, Zhang Shi is not only outstanding in ability, he is Chen Dao's right-hand man, and his thinking is also more sensitive due to the influence of Jingping Wubeitang's first sacrificial wine, Mujing.

"Say!" Chen Dao said hurriedly, his eyes brightened.

"How about driving them to the battlefield?" Zhang Shi said.

"Rush to the battlefield?"

Chen Dao had an inspiration, and his heart moved: "This is a good idea!"

"However, I'm afraid they will fight back!"

He thought about it for a while, and said: "But don't be afraid. Although our fifth battalion's strength has not recovered, as long as we are prepared, it's not like they can fight back. This is also an opportunity. If we can't fight, they may be able to fight back." , In this way, it can be regarded as attracting the attention of the Suanzao coalition army, preparing for the prince's surprise attack!"

Doing what he said, Chen Dao immediately recruited several Hanoi generals from the Hanoi captive army.

"Everyone is having a hard time these days, why don't we make a deal!"

"Deal, what deal!"

Wang Fu stood up. Although he was dressed in sloppy and tattered prison clothes, his burly body was still majestic. His eyes were a little cold. The days of being imprisoned did not wear down his spirit, and he asked back quite imposingly.

Wang Fu is Chaoge county lieutenant and a member of the Wang clan. He and Hanoi Wang Kuang are considered cousins. They were Wang Kuang's loyal and beloved general in the past. Wang Kuang was captured and sent to Luoyang. more luck less,
After he was captured, he was one of the best generals among the prisoners in Hanoi.

Several other generals, such as Shanyang County Wei Li Wu and Yuan Wu County Wei Lin Cong, all respect him as the head.

"I will return all the soldiers in Hanoi to you. You lead the army to forcibly cross the Yellow River and attack Suanzao. As long as there is one battle, after the first battle, you can survive. From then on, I will return you free. If you die, it will be your fate." Okay, how about it!" Chen Dao cut straight to the point, without going around, and directly stated the conditions.

If he wanted to eat five thousand Hanoi captives in one bite, Jingping’s Fifth Battalion would definitely lose his teeth. The Fifth Battalion was in chaos.

And in order to guard these prisoners, his Fifth Battalion had to stand still.

He can't help Shizi lead Jingping's main force to attack Suanzao, but he still has to do his best.

If it can attract the attention of the coalition forces of Suanzao, it will surely make it easier for Shizi's main force to launch an attack on Yanjin from the east.

So he had to take a gamble.

"You want us to die?"

When Wang Fu heard this, his eyes were cold.

"There is a price to pay for everything!" Chen Dao talked eloquently: "You are defeated, and life and death should be up to me. I don't want to commit crimes. It is always unknown to kill prisoners, but I let you go like this. I'm sorry that I died in the war." Soldiers of Song, so if you want to be free, do something naturally. Of course, I will never force you. You can continue to be captives, locked in the dark cellar, and starve to death when we run out of food! "

"How do I know if you will fulfill your promise!"

Several Hanoi generals were silent when they heard the words, and Wang Fu was also silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked in a cold voice.

In a failed war, the price to pay is life.

That day when their Hanoi army rebelled, it was a business with their heads up.

Now that their Hanoi army has been defeated, they have to bear the defeat. Although Wang Kuang finally let them surrender, they became prisoners. These days are not good. Jingping’s army does not have enough food. They even had a meal without a meal, as if they were waiting to die every day.

If you can be free if you gamble, even if you die in battle, it is better than living in a dungeon without life or death.

"For you, the worst result is death, but the current situation of the Hanoi Army is that life is worse than death. What are you afraid of? Besides, you don't think that I have always wanted to imprison you, I can tell you , my Jing Ping army's food and grass are also very tight, and I can't afford to support idlers!"

Chen Dao shrugged and said, "If it's possible, I'd like to kill you directly without consuming our food. So as long as you don't fight against us, why don't I honor my promise!"

Several Hanoi generals trembled when they heard the words. These days, a grain of grain is as big as the sky. If it is said that Chen Dao will kill them all because of the grain problem, he absolutely believes it will happen.

"Okay, I promise!"

Wang Fu gritted his teeth and replied, "But you can't let us fight the enemy with empty hands!"

"I will give you the weapon, and I will try my best to remove the battle armor as much as I can, but don't get your hopes up too much, even grass armor, there are not many of them now!"

"I hope you don't play tricks on us, or even if you turn into a ghost, I will never let you go!"

Wang Fu said coldly.

Everything is ready, the five thousand troops in Hanoi will go south to the Yellow River, cross the river and enter Suanzao within three days, but at this moment, a message was sent to Chaoge by Jing Wusi's flying cavalry, and handed to Chen arrive.

"Report to Captain Captain, Ji County fell two days ago!"

"What, the fall of Ji County, is the Kwantung Allied Forces attacking Ji County? They dared to enter Hanoi?"

Chen Dao was taken aback.

Ji County is less than a hundred miles away from Chaoge.

He hadn't attacked yet, but the Kwantung Allied Forces couldn't hold back anymore. He hurriedly asked, "Who is leading the troops?"

"Liu Bei, deputy general of the Youzhou Army!"

"Liu Bei?"

Chen Dao frowned, he had heard of this name a little bit, the Yellow Turban Army used to fight with the officers and soldiers, the soldiers and horses led by this led the Yellow Turban Army suffered a lot.

"How many soldiers and horses?"

"About five thousand soldiers!"

The spy of the Jingwu Division said: "However, my lord, let the captain be careful. This man has two fierce generals who shined in Sishui Pass. His second brother Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, and the two of them even fought with Xiliang. Lv Bu of the army is undefeated in battle!"

"Such a fierce general?"

Chen Dao was taken aback, Hua Xiong heard his name, but he also knew that he was a first-class general, who could abuse three or five of himself casually, who could kill Hua Xiong, was definitely not a good person, but fighting Lu Bu, that was Lu Bu, at the wedding banquet of the eldest son, Huang Zhong once fought against a man, and this man was rumored to be Lu Bu, and he was a fierce general comparable to Huang Zhong.

After getting the news, Chen Dao immediately summoned the military lords of each division of the Fifth Battalion to discuss the matter. If the news could reach him, it would naturally have reached Mujing. He was not worried about Mujing's main force, but now he was worried. What matters is whether you can bear it.

After discussing with the generals, a countermeasure has been developed.

"Wang Fu, the plan has changed, you don't need to cross the river to attack, you just need to attack Ji County!"

"Ji County?"

Wang Fu frowned: "Who is in Ji County!"

"The Kwantung Allied Army, the Youzhou Army, about [-] soldiers!" Chen Dao wanted to use the Hanoi Army, but he didn't intend to use them as cannon fodder, but to use them as bait, so he explained the situation of the enemy army very carefully: " Among them, there are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and their combat effectiveness is quite brave!"

"Youzhou Army?"

Wang Fu didn't care too much, he was in Hanoi, and Youzhou was in the north, so the prestige in the north could not be heard in his ears. It is easier to fight.

"My condition is very simple. You don't need to take down Ji County. As long as you hold them back for five days, you can retreat and leave. From then on, the Hanoi army is free, and you can return to your respective counties!"

Among the captives in Hanoi, there were a small number of county soldiers, and most of them were county soldiers gathered from various counties.

"This statement is true!"

"I swear in front of my Jingping military flag, if you break this oath, you will be tortured to quarters!"

Chen Dao said solemnly.

The Jingping army flag is the spirit of the Jingping army. This black mandala flag represents the invincible fighting spirit of the Jingping army.

"it is good!"

Wang Fu agreed.

"Zhang Shi, you lead the two soldiers, and the supervisor is behind, but be careful, don't relax!"

After that, Chen Dao confessed to Zhang Shi.

Defenses can not do without.

He didn't know how these Hanoi troops would choose in the end, so he could only gamble on his luck.

"promise!"

Zhang Shi took the lead.

……

……

The news was quickly passed on to Mu Jing.

"Gongsun Zan is so courageous!"

Mu Jing was still resting in Baima County, and when he got the news from Jing Wusi, a sneer was formed on the corner of his mouth: "Relying on the invincible Baima Yicong under his command, does it give him confidence that he can sweep Hanoi and enter Luoyang?"

"Gongsun Zan has this confidence. First, his soldiers are indeed very brave. It is rumored that the cavalry Baima Yicong trained by him can fight against foreign cavalry on the grassland without defeat. This is the strength of the Central Plains, and few people can do it. Second, he can rely on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei!"

Xi Zhicai analyzed the gathered cavalry: "Before, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought against Lu Bu at Sishui Pass, demonstrating their formidable force, which gave Gongsun Zan confidence. A single Guan Yu can be compared to an army of ten thousand troops when he conquers cities and territories!"

"Guan Yu?"

Mujing's eyes were a little complicated.

Guan Erye, a saint of later generations.

For him, Mujing is even more respectful than Liu Bei. Regardless of the authenticity of his deeds, just because he has been worshiped by people of later generations for so long, this is a memorable brand.

But in this era, they are enemies, there is no doubt about it.

"Chen Dao can stop it?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Chen Shuzhi is a general who is good at taking advantage of all the conditions that are beneficial to him. He may not be able to win, but it should be no problem to stall for time!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it carefully, and continued: "At this time, it is meaningless to return to Hanoi. Attacking them by surprise is our strategy in itself. Since they point the direction to Hanoi, it will be more conducive for us to cross Yanjin!"

"Correct!"

Mu Jing came to his senses and said, "I'm a little confused, isn't it time for us to cross Yanjin by force!"

He stood up and immediately ordered the generals to be assembled.

Within a quarter of an hour, the generals of Jingping's battalions gathered together.

"Let's go south in one hour, and I will arrive in Yanjin before sunrise tomorrow!" Mu Jing's military order was rough and simple, without any room for bargaining: "That battalion was dragging its feet, and I dismissed him from the post of captain, and Jing Ping didn't use it. Useless general!"

"Yes!"

The generals shuddered, and immediately straightened their bodies, solemnly leading the order.

When the generals were going to prepare, Mu Jingcai and Xi Zhicai announced the task.

"Zhicai, the most important thing now is whether the Xiongnu cavalry can take care of us. After all, Baima Yicong is the northern cavalry. He has crossed Youzhou and the desert. He has never suffered losses in the hands of Xianbei and Wuhuan. He must be an elite soldier, an elite cavalry, and it is difficult to resist. , only the cavalry of the Huns are available!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "You go to guide Yu Fuluo personally, it's not that I don't trust Yu Fuluo, but that I have never cooperated with him, and we can't achieve a tacit understanding of the time difference between the two soldiers and horses. This requires you Cooperate with me!"

Two soldiers and horses, two different generals, if they want to cooperate on the battlefield, it needs a tacit understanding.

Mujing and Xizhi have a tacit understanding.

But Yu Fuluo is very strange.

"If you throw me into the Huns' barracks, you won't be afraid that Yu Fuluo will eat me!" Xi Zhicai smiled wryly. Although he was cooperating with the Huns' cavalry, these Huns didn't necessarily follow the rules. over him.

"In principle, this kind of thing won't happen anymore, but the Huns are always a bit wild. Once this kind of thing happens, I will pray for you!" Mu Jing said ruthlessly.

"roll!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Knowing you is really a sin in my previous life!"

In desperation, Xi Zhicai had no choice but to rush to the Xiongnu cavalry camp, which was less than [-] miles away from Jingping's army. The army gave him self-defense, and also called Zhang Huo out to be his personal bodyguard, which was more or less guaranteed.

……

After the main force of Jingping's army gathered, they quickly went south, marching like lightning. At dawn the next day, before dawn, after a day and a night of marching, their main force arrived at a small town [-] miles away from Yanjin Ferry. In the town...

An attack on Yanjin Ferry is imminent.
