"Report on the situation of the Jin-Qi coalition forces outside the city."

Liu Xinqi's tone was relaxed.

At this stage of the war, the Xinghan Alliance was already in an invincible position.

Although three battalions of infantry had used up their musket powder, there were still the [-]th and [-]th Infantry Battalions.

Now that the five infantry battalions have arrived in Ye County (the fifth infantry battalion has left a company in Huang County), the two cavalry battalions are rushing to Ye County by land, which will block the Jin-Qi coalition's road to Penglai again.

The first fleet and the third fleet are also in Ye County.

It can be said that the main forces of the Xinghan League have been concentrated in Ye County. The number of people who can fight on land exceeds 5000, while the total number of Jin-Qi coalition forces outside the city is less than 1.

Not counting the additional combat power of the soldiers, if 1 troops attack a city defended by 5000 people, as long as the defenders are not stupid, there is no chance of the city being breached.

Moreover, there are a large number of soldiers in the city, and the coalition forces outside the city lack supplies. Our own advantage increases and the local disadvantage is obvious.

"On November 5000, Wanyan Jingzhe's troops left Huangshui and evacuated to Ye County. On the evening of November [-], they were successfully assassinated by Liu Xinyuan. At noon on November [-], under the organization of the remaining generals, they arrived outside Ye County and joined the puppet troops in Ye County. Qi Houjun has [-] troops." Liu Xinbao reported.

The battle of Yexian was considered the last battle of the Jin-Qi coalition's attack on the Xinghan League, so Military Intelligence Department Liu Xinbao also rushed over from Penglai yesterday.

Liu Xinqi then introduced in detail the current situation of the Jin-Qi coalition forces outside the city.

The arrival of the Jin cavalry made the rear army already small, and the supplies they carried became even more cramped. Therefore, there was no sign of attacking the city yesterday and today. Instead, the Jin cavalry led many troops to the east and south. The food requisition team probably went to plunder the villages and towns in these two directions.

"Where is our cavalry battalion?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"We should have passed Wanger Mountain by now." Liu Xinang replied.

According to the speed of the cavalry, after passing Wanger Mountain, it would take at most an hour to reach the outside of Ye County.

"Can I contact them?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"The golden eagles are not good. They have not yet been successfully trained to recognize flags, so they can only contact icons fixed on the ground and cannot contact mobile targets. If you want to contact the cavalry battalion, you can only send messages through the signal corps." Liu Xinbao replied.

"The messengers can also be sent to inform Liu Zhijie and Wu Jin that the two battalions will operate separately to clean up the small group of troops that the Jin-Qi coalition went out to plunder. They are not needed to participate in the city defense battle for the time being." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Yes!"

It is unclear whether the enemy troops outside the city have the courage to attack the city. The deterrent effect of cavalry cruising on the outside is greater.

After Liu Xinbao arranged the order tasks and returned to the meeting hall, Liu Xinqi spoke again

"Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy forces outside the city?"

Conquer the enemy instead of retreating from it.

"Actually, I feel that now we are evenly matched with the enemy forces outside the city. We can definitely go out to fight in the field and win the battle in an upright manner." Liu Xinang said first.

Liu Xinqi knew that what he said was right and that he could indeed win in battle, but his own casualties would not be small.

"I also think we should go out of the city to fight in the field. There are not many opportunities for such a close match. We cannot always be protected by your wings. If we want to grow, we must experience this kind of positional battle. I agree with Director Liu's suggestion." Cui Wu agreed.

[There is some truth. Flowers in a greenhouse will be very fragile if they are not exposed to wind, rain, sun or rain. The young eagle must learn to fly. ] Liu Xinqi thought to himself, and then continued to wait for others to say.

"In the past, when we at Liujiabao started out, without good weapons or armor, we could win two hundred against one thousand, and one ship was better than three ships. Now that we are getting richer and better equipped, we have lost the previous The courage to win with less? Moreover, we have immortal soldiers and generals, so we are not really a weak side, so I also agree with Director Liu’s suggestion that we should go out of the city to fight in the field." Zhao Yinghao said.

"Actually, although there are 1 enemy troops outside the city, their combat power is not high. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are frightened." Sun Liye, who used to be silent when discussing matters, analyzed:

"The cavalry of the Jin Kingdom fought in the Puppet Qi territory, and their fighting will was not high. Now they first lost their troops and generals, and then lost their commanders. The generals who have maintained stability for the time being will definitely focus on preserving their strength and will definitely not fight us to the end. "

"And the 5000 troops of the puppet Qi rear army are nothing to be afraid of. They are logistics troops with low combat power. Since they were ordered by Liu Yi to 'guard' Ye County, they have not even attempted to attack the city once. This shows that the commander of the rear army has Cowardly. Now that the front line has been defeated and the general Liu Yi has died in battle, we have blocked the news well. It is estimated that they don’t know that Liu Lin fled to Laiyang with [-] soldiers and horses, and they may think that the puppet Qi soldiers and horses have been completely wiped out. "

"The situation was so bad that the puppet Qi rear army did not retreat directly. It was probably because of the coercion of the Jin generals."

Liu Xinqi understood Sun Li's analysis and interjected: "So, the enemy army outside the city is now a paper tiger?"

Sun Li clapped his palms together and praised: "The alliance leader described it very vividly. The enemy outside the city is like a paper tiger. It looks like it has the strength to fight, but in fact it can be broken with a poke."

[The words of the great man are of course vivid. All reactionaries are paper tigers, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. 】

Liu Xinqi thought silently in his heart, and then decided: "Okay, then we will have an upright field battle with the enemy troops outside the city to determine the outcome."

After the decision was made, everyone began to prepare for battle, and the details were omitted.

……

On October [-]th, at Chen time, outside the east gate of Ye County.

The Xinghan League and the Jin-Qi coalition forces faced each other one mile apart. Behind the Xinghan League army was the city wall of Ye County.

A young general from the Jin Kingdom emerged from the Jin-Qi coalition forces. He walked to the middle of the two armies' formation and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Liu Xinqi, you shy turtle, how dare you come out to fight!"

【Depend on!court death! 】

It was the first time he was scolded in front of so many people. Liu Xinqi couldn't help but cursed in his heart, but he suppressed his expression and remained unchanged.

"Dog Tartar! Seeking death!"

As soon as the young general from the Kingdom of Jin finished speaking, the Xinghan League camp rushed out to ride. Liu Xinqi took a closer look and saw that it was Cui Wu.

"Every general will have a name. Grandpa will not kill unknown people." The Jin army general continued to shout.

"Dog Tartar, my master Penglai Cuiwu doesn't even bother to know the name of a beast like you, so be ready to receive my master's sword!"

Regarding Tatar's words, he became a grandson if he agreed. Cui Wu was smart and directly 'changed' his race, so he didn't lose the battle just by talking about it.

When the Jin Army general saw Cui Wu, he rushed forward. He shut up, clenched his weapon, and charged forward on his horse to increase his impact power.

The Tatar's weapon was a thick mace more than four feet long, while Cui Wu's weapon was the Xinghan League's standard saber.

The two of them raised their weapons from a distance and began to accumulate strength.
