Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 334 Reinforcements on the front line
In fact, as early as when Feng Yi and Lu Polou led the army out of the camp, Deng Qiang had just returned to Liang Jun's camp and was scolded by Quan Yi.

"How could you come back by yourself and let Mr. Liang stay on the front line and put yourself in danger?"

Quan Yi's eyes widened with anger. If eyes could kill, at this moment, Deng Qiang would probably have no bones left.

Deng Qiang did not have time to slowly explain to Quan Yi, he said anxiously:
"The responsibility for my crime will not be discussed until Duke Liang returns to camp.

"Secretary Quan, could you please quickly mobilize the troops and horses in the camp for me? Duke Liang has ordered to leave 10,000 infantry to guard the camp. The rest of the soldiers will follow me to the front line!"

Previously, Huan Xi led his army out of the camp, but because he was afraid of too much noise, he only brought his war horses with him, leaving the 30,000 horses in the camp.

Quan Yi knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay, so he hurried down to deal with it.

When Deng Qiang summoned 20,000 heavy armored infantry, Quan Yi also brought 40,000 horses. In addition to the walking horses of Guanlong Tuqi and Guards Yi Cong, there were also 10,000 horses that were used to pull heavy troops on weekdays. A pack horse equipped by infantry.

Quan Yi had a gloomy face and threatened:
"Deng Qiang! You let my lord get into a dangerous situation and escape alone. I will settle this debt with you in the future.

"Today, even if you kill all these soldiers and horses! You can still rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible and protect Duke Liang.

Liang's heavy infantry could also ride horses. Especially after Huan Xi learned about the heavy infantry's first actual combat performance during the Battle of Luoyang, he was deeply worried about its mobility, so he also added a new training subject to their training. Riding exercises.

Quan Yi nodded slightly and was about to leave the camp.

Quan Yi watched Deng Qiang leading the soldiers away. Before Deng Qiang walked away, he turned to look at Shi Yue beside him:

"General Shi, Duke Liang ordered you to guard the camp strictly. Please remember not to act rashly."

Shi Yue responded loudly:

Quan Yi didn't care that Deng Qiang was ordered by Huan Xi to rush back to bring in reinforcements.

If the cavalry hadn't left all the walking horses behind, Deng Qiang would have walked on foot with 20,000 heavily armored infantry. Not to mention whether he could reach the battlefield in time, even if he got there, he would probably not have enough energy left to fight.

"I will always remember it in my heart."

"Otherwise, you will definitely be guilty of the sin of billions of people in Kansai! You will humiliate the clan!
"Although I, Quan Yi, am a scholar with no power to tie a chicken, I still have to kill you even if I risk my life!"

In his opinion, it was Deng Qiang's fault for not persuading Huan Xi to come back.

Seeing this, Shi Yue quickly stopped him:

After saying that, Deng Qiang got on his horse and galloped out of the camp with 20,000 heavy armored infantry, one man and two men on horseback.

There was a large amount of food, grass and baggage stored in the camp. Once the camp was lost, even if Huan Xi retreated safely with Deng Qiang's support, Liang Jun, who had lost the food and grass, could only retreat from Hedong in embarrassment.

"When we leave the camp today, we will definitely welcome Mr. Liang back. If his body is damaged, Qiang Gan will serve as a military judge!"

Deng Qiang was also very anxious at this time. With Huan Xi's temperament, he could stay on the front line to stabilize his position and let Deng Qiang return to camp. This trust can be said to be heavy and extremely important.

It is not that we expect heavy infantry to be able to fight on horseback as skillfully as cavalry, but they must also be able to ride on horseback.

"Qiang was a minister of Liang, and received the Lord's favor, but he did nothing but obey orders.

Of course, Liang Jun's high-quality military horses give priority to cavalry, so these 30,000 heavy infantry have not yet been fully constructed into a mobile mounted infantry.

"The front line is dangerous. If Quan Zhongshu makes a mistake, how will the general return to Liang Gong?"

Quan Yi shook his head and explained:
"If I rush to the front line, I should go with Deng Qiang. This trip is just to meet up with Zhu Xu and urge him to rush to the front line."

Zhu Xu had sent an envoy to report last night that Xianbei in Hexi Province was only more than thirty miles away from the camp. Today, he would light a fire at the third watch and cook rice at the fifth watch. He set out at dawn. No matter how slow he walked, he was only two miles away from the Liang Jun camp. More than ten miles. Now that the situation has changed, Quan Yi has guessed Murong Ke's plan for this battle. Naturally, Zhu Xu no longer needs to march slowly and cautiously as originally planned.

Shi Yue was stunned when he heard the words and stopped stopping him.

Quan Yi led dozens of knights on horseback out of the camp and headed to the west.

When Feng Yi, Lu Polou and their infantry joined Murong Ke, Quan Yi, who was galloping on horseback, also found Zhu Xu.

"Quan Zhongshu, why are you here?"

Zhu Xu was surprised.

According to Huan Xi's prediction, there must be enemy troops ambushing Zhu Xu on the way to Liangying. How could Quan Yi take the risk to this place with only dozens of cavalry.

Quan Yi sighed:
"If I send an envoy to report the news, I am afraid that Ci Lun (Zhu Xuzi) will not believe it, so I will have to come in person."

With that said, Quan Yi briefly introduced the current situation to Zhu Xu in a few words.

Zhu Xu learned what had happened, so he didn't need Quan Yi to urge him.

"Send my military order to the entire army to abandon their baggage and march with me!"

Although the 30,000 Hexi Xianbei people did not have much food and grass left, the pots and pans were still there.

Following Zhu Xu's order, the soldiers had to discard all their equipment, and rode eastward, one man and two men. Quan Yi also followed the team.

About forty steps away from the slope of the mound is the Yan army's phalanx.

The reinforcements from Feng Yi and Lu Polou arrived before Liang Jun. This was certainly a happy event, but Murong Ke also knew that there was not much time left before the reinforcements from Liang Jun arrived.

It is true that the mound is far away from Liang Jun's camp, but the distance between the three camps is actually only thirty miles.

Moreover, it is Huan Xi who is being dragged on the mound now. It is impossible for the friendly forces to be in trouble and remain motionless.

But even though he knew that Liang Jun must be eager to rescue, Murong Ke did not try to send troops to bypass the mound and ambush Huan Xi's reinforcements.

Not to mention that Huan Xi occupies a high ground and has a wide field of vision, but it is daytime and the sky is bright. Can Yan Jun avoid Liang Jun's observation and quietly go around to the back of the mound.

It is also necessary to consider that the Liang Army's cavalry on the mound can charge at any time towards the Yan Army that is detouring to the west.

Therefore, after Xian Yuliang retreated, Murong Ke reorganized his offensive and only prepared to attack on the east, south and north sides, and opened up the road on the west side.

They were worried that the attacking troops to the west would be attacked from the front and back by the cavalry on the mounds reinforced by the Liang army.

In fact, after Murong Ke saw the excellent strength and equipment of Guanlong Tuqi, he already understood that it would be difficult for him to keep Huan Xi.

Murong Ke surrounded three towers and opened up the road on the west side, hoping to allow Huan Xi to evacuate the mound, so that the Yan army could pursue him behind and kill the cavalry that fell behind.

Not to mention other troops, Yang An's command had just experienced a fierce battle, and the five thousand Guanlong Tuqi who were short of men and horses were bound to suffer heavy losses.

This is also the reason why Huan Xi still stayed on the mound and did not evacuate in time after the Yan army's reinforcements arrived.
