Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 444
If it weren't for Murong Ke's protection, Murong Chui would have been killed by Murong Jun. fratricide occurred in almost every generation of the Murong family, which was very tragic.

Murong Ke was truly benevolent to his half-brother.

However, this is also his weakness. He always wants to take care of both sides, and often fails to take care of either side.

"Murong Ke's footing is unstable. Our army's morale is at its peak. It's better to assemble the whole army and attack the enemy violently!" Xu Cheng's eyes were red, and he must have been awake all night just like himself.

There was a carnival last night, and many soldiers were so excited that they carried it all night.

"This strategy can only be used one by one. Murong Ke suffered a loss at Bairen, so how can he be unprepared? There is no need to take risks. Send Murong Jun's corpse over to provoke Murong Ke to attack!"

This battle should be based on stability. A dog will jump over the wall if it is anxious, let alone Murong Ke.

Li Yue not only wanted to encroach on the Yan Kingdom bit by bit, but also tried his best to reduce the casualties of his soldiers.

Every time an old pawn survives, the combat power of the Black Cloud Army becomes stronger.

In the current situation, it was Murong Ke who should be anxious, not himself.

Even if there is a decisive battle, we have to wait until the dust of the Shangdang battle has settled. Although we are full of confidence in Wang Meng, anything can happen on the battlefield. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

After the body was delivered, not long after, there was a lot of crying.

The whole camp was in plain weather, and a firewood pile was set up in front of the camp gate. The flames slowly rose, and a few wisps of black smoke floated up.

After the simple ceremony, Yan Jun's momentum changed, with a hint of determination in his depth.

"The Yan army is in mourning!" Xu Cheng said, looking to the north.

Li Yue smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to inspire Murong Ke to attack the city, but he didn't expect that he would use Murong Ke's death to boost the morale of the Yan army.

This is a respectable and formidable opponent.

It's a pity that he is just a general of the Yan State, who is controlled by others and has too many worries. However, Li Yue is the monarch and can mobilize all the forces of the Liang State to participate in this war.

"As the saying goes, a sad army will win, but if you are alone, let's see how Murong Ke can turn things around!" Li Yue wished that Murong Ke would attack the city now and use the flesh and blood of the Yan Kingdom's elites to fill Xiangguo City.

It's a pity that Murong Ke is Murong Ke after all. After boosting morale, he still stood still.

He didn't move, so Li Yue ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest, treat the wounded, and clean up the corpses.

In the past, Xiangguo was a sharp knife hanging over Liangguo's head, but now it's the other way around.

With Xiangguo in hand, Zhongshan and Changshan counties cannot escape, nor can Daijun, Shanggu, and Yuyang. Even Bingzhou to the east of Taihang Mountain is under threat.

This was also the reason why Murong Ke did not dare to leave.

Regardless of whether he is defeated or retreats, the Yan Kingdom will be severely cut off a large piece of fat.

Hebei is a complete geographical tectonic plate, with a flat river. Without Xiangguo, the Yan army would not be able to stand in Youzhou.

As time passed, Chang Wei continued to transport various baggage from the rear. The two ironworks in Shanyang and Xingyang were fully fired, and ordnance, grain, livestock, coal cakes, dry firewood, and mattresses were continuously delivered.

At a time of fierce fighting and danger, the soldiers of Heiyun can still have a bite of cooked meat.

With oil and water in your belly, your combat power will not decline.

For this battle, Liang Guo also risked his life and gave up most of his wealth. Cui, Zheng, Lu, Liu and other major noble families also supported a lot of money and food.

Both sides are waiting for news from the Shangdang.

However, before the battle report came, a snowstorm arrived first, covering the northern land.The Yan Army camp opposite gradually disappeared into the wind and snow.

In this kind of weather, the two sides cannot fight even if they want to.

"Victory! Victory -"

In the wind and snow, more than a dozen mounted scouts came from the west. Four or five scouts, including men and horses, fell down in the snow, were picked up by the robes, and walked into the city together.

The scout struggled to get to the city. His hands and face were covered with frostbite, but his eyes were shining. "Your Majesty, the king's governor is as powerful as a rainbow. Murong Chui followed closely with [-] elite troops. He did not dare to fight. Our army defeated Yan and , sweeping down from Shangdang, breaking seventeen cities in a row, Murong Chui retreated from Nie County to Xihe, and returned to defend Qi County. The royal governor turned to attack Zhan County, Shangai, and Jingxing, and sent three generals from Wei, Mi, and Qin to attack Replace the county!”

After hearing this, Li Yue couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He and Murong Ke were fighting openly and secretly, but Wang Meng was so powerful and relaxed.

However, most wars in history are actually like this. They are crushed directly without too many twists and turns, and the enemy is completely defeated.

Li Yue worked hard on the battlefield for several years and studied the art of war painstakingly before he reached his current rank.

Wang Meng, however, was gifted by nature. He was the ceiling of this era as soon as he came out of the mountain. He had never seen how to read the art of war. He could only lead troops to fight. He was also one of the best in the world in critical state governance. He personally led the revolution of the Liang Kingdom. …

Li Yue had to be convinced.

Of course, this is also a reflection of Liang's national strength. Victory or defeat is often determined not on the battlefield.

Although the army led by Wang Meng was a new army, it was well-equipped, had sufficient food and grass, and had various new types of ordnance.The backbone of the army are all the best of the Black Cloud Army, and the generals under his command are all fierce generals in the world.

What did Murong Chui use to fight Wang Meng?
What's more, Murong Chui was a late-blooming general. He was a god of war at the age of 60 or 30, but at the age of [-] or [-], he was still a little less capable.

Wang Meng fought steadily and steadily, relying on his strength to crush him. Murong Chui was helpless and retreated to Qixian County, which just showed his shrewdness. If he really fought with Wang Meng, he would lose miserably.

And once he was defeated, Murong Jun would not let him off lightly.

Li Yue immediately opened Wang Meng's memorial and spoke thousands of words. In addition to reporting the battle process, he also pointed out that Murong Chui did not try his best in this battle and seemed to be trying to preserve his strength.

Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, we should gather our strength and strength. Then Wang Meng will come out of Jingxing to attack Changshan and defeat Murong Ke. As long as Murong Ke is defeated, the Yan Kingdom will not be far from being destroyed.

As for Murong Chui, if there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?

The army on the west route won, and the battle was basically settled. Li Yue and Wang Meng had already formed a pincer attack on Murong Ke.

If the heavy snow had not blocked the Taihang Mountain Road, Wang Meng would have already left Jingxing and attacked Murong Ke.

In the wind and snow, the second year of Hongwu passed, and the third year of Hongwu (356 years) was coming.

On the first day of the new year, Wei Shan sent back the news that Pingcheng had been captured, half of Dai County was in his hands, and Murong Chui had been cut off from his retreat and became a turtle in the urn.

However, the news of Liang Guo's victory spread to various places and caused quite a stir.

Huan Wen led [-] troops to garrison Wancheng. Huan Chong, Xie Shang, and Yuan Zhen all rose up and led [-] new troops to advance by land and water with great fanfare to attack Hefei.

In Guanzhong, Fu Jian ordered Fu Ya, Yang An, and Yao Chang to raid Qiuchi, destroy the Qiuchi kingdom, and send [-] households into Guanzhong.

As expected, civil strife broke out in Liangzhou, and Zhang Guan was unpopular. As soon as Fu Jian withdrew his troops, he eliminated dissidents and consolidated military power. This caused dissatisfaction with General Song Hun and others, who raised troops to attack. Zhang Guan was defeated and committed suicide.

The great power fell into the hands of Song Hun, who sent a petition to surrender.

Fu Jian destroyed Qiuchi and took all the land east of the river in Liangzhou. Seeing that the weather was freezing and the ground was freezing, he could not destroy Liangzhou for a while, so he returned home satisfied.
