Kai Fu Han

Chapter 344
Jiao Rui was very careful during night raids.

It shows that after more than a dozen teams were dispatched to investigate and ensure that the Jin Army did not set up an ambush, they picked a weakly defended village wall in the middle of the night, used explosives to blow open the camp wall, and then rushed into the camp. However, the results were similar to those during the day. Withdrew again less than a quarter of an hour later.

During the day the next day, when the Jin army was marching, Jiao Rui attacked the first half of the marching team again.

The Jin army responded very well. Except for the front half which gathered to deal with the special operations company, the other Jin soldiers in the middle and rear all gathered towards the Chinese army. Jiao Rui could only withdraw quickly before the cavalry encircled his side.

Although not many Jin soldiers were killed, the task of "delaying the Jin army's march" arranged by Liu Xinqi has been successfully completed.

Wanyan Zong's auxiliary army could not even march ten miles in one day.

Jiao Rui watched Jin Jun Shenshi start to set up camp again, and said unconsciously: "No wonder Liu Xinyuan is envious of my position. This feeling of toying with the enemy is indeed very refreshing."

……

"Jiao Rui held back Wanyan Zong's auxiliary army, but when Wanyan Zong's auxiliary army was attacked, Wanyan Zongbi's army also left the city. Without the harassment of the special warfare company, they moved very fast. Today, they drove forty miles a day. ." Liu Xinbao replied.

"How did Wanyan Zongbi know that Wanyan Zongfu was attacked?" Liu Xinqi was curious.

"After Wanyan Zongfu was attacked, dozens of waves of messenger troops were sent west and south. The manpower of the Military Intelligence Department in Hebei could not completely block the communication between them." Liu Xinbao replied.

Human wave tactics!Liu Xinqi expressed his understanding.

"Let's go find Yu Jin."

The two came to the Yanshan County Government Office, where Yu Jin and Yang Jin were discussing matters.

"The lord came just in time, what do you think now?"

As soon as he entered the door, Yu Jin, who saw Liu Xinqi, asked quickly to let Liu Xinqi know that he also knew the news that both armies had been dispatched.

"Wumai is 120 miles away from the official road of Yanshan. According to the speed of Wanyan Zongbi's army, it will take at least three days to reach Yanshan. By then, your weapons and equipment will be in place. It should be easy for 2 people to guard the small town of Yanshan. of."

In ancient times, when there were no siege weapons, ten times the number of troops was the standard for siege.

"But after we were besieged by the Jin army, it was equivalent to having nowhere to go. I think we should evacuate early." Yu Jin said again.

"Where to escape?" Liu Xinqi asked, already a little impatient by Yu Jin's repeated remarks about wanting to escape.

"To the west?" Yu Jin asked cautiously.

"To the west? If the Jin army blocks the seaside passage, you will no longer be able to get material support from our Xinghan League. Without the material support of the Xinghan League, how long do you think you can last under the siege of the Jin army?"

"How about heading east?" With Wanyan Zongfu in the north and Wanyan Zongbi in the south, Yu Jin could only choose to go east.

"Our Xinghan League's ship capacity will take more than fifteen days just to transport the elderly and the weak. It is impossible for your 2 people to get on the ship before the two Jin armies converge. By then, there will be no city to defend. They are just fish on Jin Jun's chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others." Liu Xinqi retorted.

"What should we do? Is the only way to stay in the dead city?" Yu Jin said in frustration.

"Don't worry, since I dare to come here from Penglai, I am sure to save you." Liu Xinqi first said something to appease the two people, and then asked Liu Xinbao: "Where are the food and fodder logistics of Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongbi's armies? "

"Wanyan Zongfu is in Qingzhou, and Wanyan Zongbi is in Yangxin." Liu Xinbao replied.

They are all located at the rear of the army. "How is the defensive strength?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Qingzhou has one thousand gold troops and five thousand puppet Qi troops. Yangxin has five thousand gold troops."

From the perspective of military strength, Yangxin's defensive power is stronger. Yangxin must have more food and grass than Qingzhou.

"Does the leader want to surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" Yu Jin probably understood what Liu Xinqi meant.

"Yes, if you succeed in forcing the Jin army to retreat this time, you may be able to settle down in Cangzhou and no longer have to wander around like a rootless duckweed." Liu Xinqi replied.

"How is this possible? Cangzhou is the passage for the Jin army to go south. It is impossible for me to occupy it." Yu Jin was somewhat self-aware and was not confused by Liu Xinqi's rice soup.

"Whether you want to stand in Cangzhou or fight elsewhere, you have to pass this hurdle first. I guarantee that you only need to hold the Jin army for a maximum of two days before they have to withdraw." Liu Xinqi said what he should do this time. The tactics of the Jin army.

"We only have 2 people, how can we possibly defend the Jin army with 10 people." Yang Jin retorted.

The more than 7 people Liu Xinqi calculated before were the main force of the Jin army. If they were to fight out of the city, they would have to have heavy troops from Zhe to ensure logistics, and there would also be some cannon fodder for the Puppet Qi, so the number mentioned by Yang Jin was not wrong.

"I arranged for Jiao Rui to help you on the outside. The Jin army will not dare to attack the city with all its troops. Besides, Yanshan City is not big. If you want to defend it, you can definitely defend it." Liu Xinqi replied.

Jiao Rui's special company was floating around the periphery. For the Jin army, it was like a choke point, and a part of the main force was bound to be left to defend the main general, so the manpower devoted to the siege would be greatly reduced.

Yu Jin and Yang Jin saw that neither Liu Xinqi nor anyone on either side agreed to their evacuation, and they did not dare to evacuate privately against Liu Xinqi, so they could only reluctantly agree.

"After this battle, if the two of us don't die, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. I hope the alliance leader can help us more in the future." After all, Yu Jin didn't have the nerve to say 'compensation', so he said 'help'.

"Don't worry, you won't die. You can keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. I won't watch the rebel brothers die in vain."

On the 26th.

After noon, standing on the top of the city, you can already see the large armies of the Jin Army to the north and south. The view is endless.
Liu Xinqi could feel that the rebel soldiers next to him were so frightened that their legs were shaking.

Yu Jin also kept swallowing his saliva.

"Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to attack the city today. Moreover, the weapons I gave you today have also arrived. You have also seen them. They are all well-made and of high quality. In terms of weapons, you are not inferior to the Jin Army." Liu Xinqi comforted.

They did not lose in terms of weapons, but they lost greatly in terms of the quality and number of soldiers.This made Liu Xinqi's comfort seem a bit feeble.

If it were the Xinghan League's field army, [-] against the Jin army's [-], Liu Xinqi would dare to lead troops out of the city to fight in the field.

But as rebel soldiers, they can only defend the city.

"I wonder when the alliance leader's back-up plan will be effective." Yu Jin asked, his voice trembling.

"We have already set off, and we will hear the good news the day after tomorrow at the latest. By then, the army under the city will have no choice but to retreat." Liu Xinqi promised.

"Leader, look, that's Jiao Rui over there." Liu Xinbao handed the telescope in his hand to Liu Xinqi and pointed towards the rear of Wanyan Zongbi's army.
