Horse on the World

Chapter 823 You are not benevolent, I am not righteous
The space in the tent was almost frozen, and the two of them looked at each other silently. The local advantages on the front line instantly turned into flowing water as Li Qing occupied the front line of Quanying. The question of total annihilation.

The daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians is an astonishing number every day. The logistics resources on the road every day are endless. This is the lifeline of the army. As long as this main artery is still running, the war will be guaranteed. If there is a problem, you will lose without fighting.

The goal of Hu Zequan's series of arrangements just now is very obvious. It is to buy a certain amount of time for the main force of the southern army to retreat under the premise of abandoning the several troops in front. Lu Dalin and Tian Feng on the opposite side will definitely take advantage of the situation to hide and kill, even if they have the upper hand in terms of army numbers, but in this case, there is still a battle there.Therefore, they can only hide the news, urge the front line to attack desperately, come to confuse the team players, and buy a few days of precious time.

"Go, go!" Hu Zequan waved his hands wearily, "Xiao Ai, there is no other way, if we can take back Quancheng Yingcheng, General Lan, General Xu and the others may still have a way out, they can escape, If we can't get it back, they are only one step ahead of us."

"Yes, General, I'm going!" Ai Yongjun held back his tears, saluted with choked up sobs, and turned to leave.

Xinling, Zeng Yifan camp.On the opposite side of Zeng Yifan is the Chinese Army Xingyuan of Lu Dalin, a well-known veteran of the Dingzhou Army. Against such a well-known person, Zeng Yifan had to be 12 points careful, not seeking meritorious deeds, but seeking no faults, and being cautious , launched an attack on Xinling step by step, saying that one step and one seal, Zeng Yifan used one step and several seals, no matter what the opponent is, he will first secure the fence.

After fighting for 20 days, there was not much progress. In the tens of miles area that Zeng Yifan was in charge of, the forces of both sides were intertwined, and no one could do anything to the other.

"Young Marshal, look, Lu Dalin's central army is at Lianghekou, which is actually less than fifty miles away from us. Judging from the course of the battle for more than ten days, the opponent seems to be troubled by the lack of troops. If we can send An elite troop pierced through and approached Lianghekou. Even if they couldn't catch Lu Dalin, they would definitely make him flustered and exhausted. When other garrisons saw that Lianghekou was in danger, they would definitely do their best to rescue them. In this way, we Then we can take the initiative and advance the battle line to the vicinity of Lianghekou in one fell swoop, so that we can provide strong support to the Changning area in the center." He Ping pointed at the map with piercing eyes.

Zeng Yifan frowned deeply, "It is indeed a good move to pass through, the problem is that we have to climb over this mountain and pass through this dangerous valley on the way, He Ping, if the opponent deploys an army here, we can't do it at all. Break through!"

"Young commander, don't worry." He Ping said: "I have sent several sentries to investigate these days, and the other party has not a single soldier here."

Zeng Yifan clapped his hands excitedly, "Since that's the case, you can try it, but you must send a strong general, and the miraculous effect will be achieved after hitting them."

"The final general is willing to lead his troops to go." He Pingdao, "It will be effective in one fell swoop, as long as we can make a breakthrough first, hmph, let's see if their Southern Army still has the face to neglect us."

He Ping showed a look of injustice. These days, with the transportation of logistics supplies, the southern army has neglected them a lot, and they look down on them, and they did not expect them to be the first to make a breakthrough in Xinling. The generals of the southern army The implication is that as long as they can contain the Dingzhou soldiers and horses in Xinling, they will be lucky.

"Let's do it like this!" Zeng Yifan also took a breath in his heart, "Go, show me a little prestige, once your side starts, I will immediately launch a full-scale attack here."

"Young Marshal, do you want to transfer Guo Quan's Fengli battalion? In this way, the Young Marshal's troops will be more sufficient." He Ping said.

Zeng Yifan thought for a moment, "Let's not be busy. Guo Quan is still watching Wei Xin. Wei Xin still has more than ten thousand troops. Besides, we must leave an army to protect our flank. Now we need , even in the future, it will be needed.”

He Ping nodded, knowing that the young marshal did not have [-]% trust in the Southern Army.

The big tent was opened, and a soldier trotted in, "Young Marshal, General Ai Yongjun is here."

Zeng Yifan and He Ping glanced at each other, both showing surprised expressions, Ai Yongjun is not by Hu Zequan's side at this time, what is he doing here?
"Come on, let's pick it up." Zeng Yifan said.

A burst of hearty laughter came from outside, "How dare you work hard for General Zeng, isn't this killing my Ai's life?" Following the laughter, Ai Yongjun walked in.

"I've seen General Ai!" He Ping cupped his hands.

"Why did General Ai come to my place when he was so busy? Did General Hu make any major moves?" Zeng Yifan laughed and said, "Come here, let's serve tea!"

Ai Yongjun smiled, "The front line is like this, even if you want to make a big move, it is impossible to implement it. As long as all the ministries advance bravely, break through the opponent's defense line, and advance to Weizhou City, it will be a matter of course. General Zeng, two days ago Hu The general just came back from General Xu in Xianglushan."

Zeng Yifan's eyebrows twitched, "General Xu has captured Zhou Ping?"

Ai Yongjun shook his head, "Although it has not been completely defeated, it is only close to the final blow. So General Hu asked me to come over and have a look, and I want to ask General Zeng, when will we be able to make a breakthrough?"

Zeng Yifan sneered, "General Hu is blaming me, Zeng, for not caring!"

Ai Yongjun waved his hands again and again, "General Zeng has misunderstood, misunderstood, General Zeng is facing Lu Dalin's main force, these days General Zeng has played vigorously, that is obvious to all, but General Hu hopes that you can fight again Just go further."

He Ping took a step forward, "General Ai, my young marshal has already drawn up a battle plan and is going to attack Lu Dalin's old lair at the mouth of the Lianghe River. However, the armory is not enough. How can General Ai add some arrows and ballistas for us? There must be a breakthrough.”

"Oh!" Ai Yongjun said: "Go straight to Lianghekou?" He got up and walked to the map, carefully examining it.

Zeng Yifan walked up to him, pointed to the map, and explained to Ai Yongjun, "After this army penetrates through, it will inevitably face a hard battle, but you know, General Ai, that our troops have been fighting for several months. The material loss is serious, and all kinds of crossbows are seriously insufficient, so please ask General Ai to add some for us."

Ai Yongjun pondered and said: "To tell you the truth, General Zeng, due to the bad weather, the supplies transported to the camp these days have been decreasing day by day, and the loss on the way is too great. Why don't you do this first, and you should make emergency arrangements first. After I go back, I will call you immediately!"

"General Ai's words are serious?"

"General Zeng doesn't trust me. When did the words of Ai not count?"

"That's great, let's do it first!"

After watching He Ping lead a group of troops to set off, Ai Yongjun left with satisfaction. Seeing He Ping go away full of enthusiasm, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart. The deeper you go, there is no possibility of escape at all, but immediately, this pity disappears without a trace. There will be more time to escape.

Two days later, Zeng Yifan, who was anxiously waiting for the sound from the direction of Lianghekou, did not expect He Ping's letter, but instead waited for the arrival of Guo Quanju Jitong.

Ji Tong looked very embarrassed. After Pegasus entered Zeng Yifan's camp, he jumped off the horse. The horse under his crotch wailed, and fell to the ground and twitched continuously. It seemed that the long-distance gallop did not get a rest, it was completely run Exhausted, Ji Tong, who was under the horse, ran two steps and fell to the ground. Under the surprised eyes of the soldiers, Ji Tong got up, covered in mud and water, and staggered towards Zeng Yifan's body. large account.

"Ji Tong, what happened? Did something happen to Feng Liying?" Seeing Ji Tong's distress, Zeng Yifan was shocked.

"Young commander, there is an urgent military situation. Please allow me to report it alone." Looking at the people in the tent, Ji Tong said out of breath, "General Guo sent me here in the starry night. The last general didn't sleep for two days and two nights. He ran away and was useless." Three horses. Let me send the news to the young commander without fail, and ask the young commander to get a quick attention."

Zeng Yifan was stunned for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, everyone in the tent retreated immediately.

"What does Guo Quan want you to tell me?"

"Li Qing of Dingzhou led an army of tens of thousands across the vast sea, and occupied Quancheng and Yingcheng half a month ago." Ji Tong took a step forward and whispered.

With a bang, Zeng Yifan fell to the ground with his chair.

Ji Tong was taken aback, and hurried up to help Zeng Yifan. "Young commander, are you okay? Are you okay?"

"You said Quancheng just now, but Yingcheng fell?" Zeng Yifan asked tremblingly with a pale face.

"good."

"Where is the news, how is it possible, how is it possible?" Zeng Yifan hissed.

"The source of the news is absolutely true." Ji Tong said loudly: "And the general, on the way to Xinling, found that the Southern Army headquarters in Changning were frequently mobilized, and it seemed that they were about to retreat. Young commander, you must pay attention quickly. what should we do?"

In an instant, Zeng Yifan thought about a lot of things. No wonder Ai Yongjun came to his side and urged him to step up the attack. It turned out that they had already got the news that they wanted to sacrifice themselves so that they could retreat!At this time, he naturally didn't know that Hu Zequan had sold Sapphire and Xu Sichen together so that the main force could retreat.

"Bastard!" Zeng Yifan yelled angrily and overturned the big case. Amidst the rumbling, the guards from outside rushed in.

"Get out, get out of here!" Zeng Yifan said angrily.Ai Yongjun watched as He Ping's troops stepped into death step by step. Once he went there, he might return there.

"Calm down, young commander, tens of thousands of our Liaoshen troops are watching the young commander!" Ji said.

"He is not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!" Zeng Yifan burst out a few words through his teeth.
