The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1220
None of Murong Xianbei's movements could be hidden from Liu Yin's eyes and ears.

Since late autumn, the offensive of the Xianbei people has become weaker and weaker, and there are various signs that Murong Shegui has plans to retreat northward.

This was not at all unexpected by Liu Yin. The long supply line of the Xianbei people has always been their heavy burden. In order to create some difficulties for the Xianbei people, Liu Yin repeatedly sent some small teams to sneak into the enemy's rear to nourish the supply line of the Xianbei people. Harassment and sneak attacks.

Although the Xianbei people have sufficient awareness of the safety of the supply line and often send heavy troops to protect the safety of the supply line, it is inevitable that Baimi will sometimes be sparse. The Han army's ten surprise attacks often succeed once or twice.

In fact, this ratio is already against the sky. Cutting off the Xianbei people's retreat and burning their food and grass, this kind of blow is not a heavy blow to the Xianbei people.

Murong Shegui had no choice but to increase the strength of the troops escorting food and grass, and sent heavy troops for protection, but even so, the sneak attack of the Han army could still be effective. The supply line of thousands of miles could not be careless anyway. The squad is very thieves, and they always think of ways to break the attack.Every loss of food, grass and supplies is like a piece of flesh being plucked out of Murong Shegui's heart, making him stomp his feet and sigh, but there is nothing he can do.

Liu Yin took aim at this weakness of the Xianbei people, and attacked repeatedly, every time he succeeded, it would make Murong Shegui hurt for a long time.

Murong Shegui, who was furious and angry, once sent troops to counter the sneak attack, putting on a stance of hurting each other, but he soon discovered that this was useless, even if the success rate of the Xianbei people's sneak attack was higher than that of the Han army. The multi-channel supply lines of the Han army can completely solve the problems caused by losses.

As time passed and winter came, Murong Xianbei's plight became more and more obvious. Liu Yin concluded that Murong Shegui would not be able to last this winter, and Murong Shegui had no other way to go except to retreat.

Once the Xianbei retreated, the opportunity for the Han army to counterattack came.

This time in the battle of Xindu, the Han army fought relatively hard, but compared with the battle in Shangdang back then, it was still much easier. At least the Han army could remain invincible, no matter how the Xianbei attacked, From the beginning to the end, it was impossible to shake the defense line of the Han army.

As early as autumn, Liu Yin had mobilized a large number of winter clothes for the army. There was no cotton in this era, and the warm clothes in winter could only be made of silk or animal fur. Silk and fur are better than cotton in terms of warmth. Better, but expensive, as a luxury, it can only be a special item for the rich and powerful for a long time.

For this big war, Liu Yin actually worked really hard. These tens of thousands of winter clothes almost emptied half of Ji Han's treasury, and it was only enough to meet part of the needs. If the entire army has more than 20 people All equipped with such winter clothes, it is estimated that the national treasury will go bankrupt.

Therefore, it is indeed difficult to fight in winter. Liu Yin does not believe that Murong Shegui will persist until the beginning of next spring. For Murong Shegui, retreating is already a last resort.

Liu Yin called Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to him, and said, "Second brother and third brother, the Xianbei people will retreat in a few days. When they retreat, it will be the time for us to fight back. You two can lead your troops to the Zhanghe River. To the north, when the Xianbei people are crossing the river, if they intercept them halfway, they will definitely win a big victory."

When Zhang Le heard it, he was so excited that he couldn't express it, and said: "These damned guys can finally teach them a lesson!" In the past few months, Wudang Feijun has also fought against Xianbei people many times, although Wudang Feijun Relying on the side van, it is completely invincible, but the Xianbei people come and go freely, and launch an attack when they want to fight, and easily retreat when they don't want to fight, so that Wudang Feijun can only fight. It's a sigh of hope.

Although the Wudang Flying Army is the most powerful infantry in the world, it is impossible to defeat the cavalry on foot, unless the Xianbei cavalry fights their own death and attacks with all their strength, only then can the Wudang Flying Army destroy the opponent If the Xianbei cavalry took the initiative to retreat, they would be beyond their reach.

This undoubtedly made Zhang Le vomit blood depressed, because the Xianbei people are not stupid. When they realized that they had kicked on the iron plate, they gave up attacking and turned to defending. The place, in terms of face, is also difficult to manage.

But the opportunity for Zhang Le to take revenge has come, Zhang Le laughed loudly and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let that old boy Murong Shegui have a chance to return to Youzhou!"

Liu Yin just smiled faintly, and said: "Everything is based on military orders, you two, you can't act without authorization, remember it!"

Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo listened to the order and each led his troops away.

Liu Yin also summoned the guards of the Sixth Cavalry Army and asked them to be ready to attack at any time.In addition, the scouts were dispatched widely to keep an eye on the movement of the Xianbei camp. Liu Yin asked these scouts to report to Liu Yin immediately if they found even a little bit of news.

Therefore, just as Murong Shegui started to act, Liu Yin had already obtained detailed information on Murong Shegui's withdrawal. When he heard the news of Murong Shegui's withdrawal, Liu Yin sneered slightly and said, "Come whenever you want, and leave whenever you want." , this land of Jizhou, could it be your back garden? Now that you are here, let’s leave something before leaving!”

At this moment, the sky was very cloudy, and it was just early in the morning, but it gave people a feeling that it was going to be dark. Liu Yin looked at the sky and said to himself: "It seems that it is going to snow, good... very good... ..." He turned to the officer of the Chinese army and said, "Immediately send the guards of the Sixth Army to the tent of the Chinese army!"

Soon Luo Shang and the five guards of the Right Army arrived at the tent of the Central Army, and bowed to Liu Yin with their hands clasped together.

Liu Yin glanced at them, and said in a deep voice: "Just received the news that Murong Shegui has already started withdrawing troops, this time is our best chance to fight back. Luo Shangzhou Xu listened to the order!"

Luo Shangzhouxu immediately came out and said: "The end is here!"

"Order the two of you to lead the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Qilin Army to pursue the Xianbei's rear. When the Xianbei retreat, there must be an elite rear. The two of you only need to drag them to the rear, and there is no need to rush."

"The final general obeys the order!" Luo Shangzhou Xu received the order to retreat.

Liu Yin called again: "Deng Pu Xunkai listens to the order."

"The end is here!"

"Order the two of you to lead the Qinglong Army and Xuanwu Army to attack the left flank of the Xianbei people, there must be no mistakes!"

"The end will obey orders!"

"Fu Mo Lu Xun listened to the order."

"The end is here."

"Order the two of you to lead the White Tiger Army and the Vermilion Bird Army to attack the Xianbei's right wing, there must be no mistakes!"

"The end will obey orders!"

After the Sixth Army guards took orders, they left the camp immediately.

Liu Yin stood outside the tent. At this time, goose feathers and heavy snow were pouring down on the sky. Liu Yin stood with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "Yuehei geese fly high, and Shan Yu night flees, trying to chase Qingqi away, and the snow is full of bows and knives. "
