The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 541
With the gathering of Hengshan's army to the Western Regions and the end of the Tianjiguan battle, news of the Hengshan army's victory came.Sade was shocked, and did not dare to run amok in the Western Regions. He immediately ordered the 15 troops that went south to retreat to the north and retreat, waiting for the northern conquest army to return to the south to meet.

Without the protection of the Western Gold werewolves, the countries in the North Western Regions were immediately exposed to the iron hooves of the Hengshan Army.As one hundred thousand cavalry marched northward, the northern states along the way surrendered one after another and changed their flags.Not long after, the [-] guards and the [-] cavalry gathered in the territory of Yizi.Under the cover of the army, the militia and volunteers who came one after another rushed into the territory of Xijinlang, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

Faced with the pressing force of the Hengshan Army, the Xijinlang Army continued to retreat, giving up a large area of ​​land and clearing the country.After advancing hundreds of miles, the Hengshan Army had to withdraw again due to logistical supplies.Facing the retreat of the Xijin werewolves, the Hengshan army did not dare to go too deep. After all, there were still 20 troops on their side. Once they were encircled, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, the Hengshan Army had to wait for the Xijinlang army to converge before heading south again.At that time, the strategy of defensive counterattack can be implemented.

For a moment, the entire Western Region fell into silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on the country of Yizi.The ownership of the Western Regions will belong to the winning side.

The war in the Western Regions has been suspended, but at this time in Hengshan, the flames of war have already begun to burn.

Since July, the Donghu people began to recruit troops aggressively, and in October, they officially launched the Western Expedition.In November, an army of 40 Donghu people arrived west of Xijing and entered Hengshan's sphere of influence.

At this time, the Hengshan Army had assembled more than 15 troops north of Xiayang Pass.But compared with the Donghu people, the strength is very different, so they have to stick to the south of Xiashui.

Lin Yifan, who had been staying in his hometown since last year, immediately left for the north after the expiration of his mourning period.

As the soldiers of the Donghu overwhelmed Hengshan, Cao Jun, who seemed to have a tacit understanding with the Donghu people, also began to intensify their efforts and went northward with all their strength to attack Yanzhou.

Although Yanming and Ming prefectures continue to send letters for help to Hengshan, but now Hengshan has no spare power to support them, and now most of the troops are in the Western Regions, and the troops in the east are quite limited, so that a Donghu makes Hengshan exhausted. .

Of the [-] troops assembled in the south of Xiashui, there are only about [-] regular troops, and the rest are newly recruited militias, whose combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the regular army.

Fortunately, with the arrival of Lin Yifan, another 20 regular troops were brought from Huazhou, and finally [-] troops were gathered here, of which the regular army exceeded [-].

In Xiashui camp.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very dignified. In the center of the venue, a sand table was covered with flags of various colors, and my posture was clear at a glance.But even so, everyone's mood could not be relaxed.

The 40 Donghu army is overwhelming, and now only 20 soldiers and horses have been cobbled together, and only 20 can really compete with the Donghu.And if the Donghu people throw away 20 old and weak, there will be at least [-] elite soldiers and horses, which are far superior to Hengshan's army.

"Everyone, the situation we are facing is very dangerous now." Lin Yifan said in a deep voice, "The Donghu army is suppressing the border. We have dispatched 20 militiamen from Xia'an, which has already affected the livelihood of the people in these two places. Therefore, our army can There are only 20 soldiers used to resist the Donghu people. So, how should we use these [-] troops to repel the Donghu people?"

"My lord, we have Xiayang Pass in our hands. Even if the Donghu people have an army of 40, they can't do anything to us." A general stood up and said confidently, "As long as the war in the Western Regions is over, we can rush back to meet up and gather together." With the strength of our two armies, we will be able to repel the Donghu people."

Lin Yifan looked at him, smiled wryly and shook his head, "Mr. Deng Xiu, this is a safe plan, but when the war in the Western Regions will happen, none of us can be sure. But if the Donghu people don't retreat for a day, I will be in Hengshan for a day." There is no peace. The daily consumption of 20 troops is incalculable, how long can we last? Don’t forget, the battle of the Western Regions has almost exhausted our supplies, money and food. Huazhou is newly acquired, and we still need to invest, and there is no output yet. It is simply impossible to maintain such a huge consumption by relying on the three states of Xia'ansha alone. Although this plan is good, it is not something we can choose."

Deng Xiu nodded silently when she heard the words, and had to go back to her seat and think hard.

At this time, Luo Feng stood up and said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, based on the current strength of our army alone, we are indeed no match for the Donghu people. It is better for the last general to lead his cavalry to harass the Donghu's rear. If we can cut off its food roads, it may be possible Force them to retreat. After all, the Donghu people's 40 army consumes far more food and grass than us."

Lin Yifan thought about it for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This plan is good, but we only have [-] cavalry now, and it is very dangerous to go here. Donghu people have the help of Chinese scum, so they must be prepared. If one person is not careful, the whole army may be killed." Annihilation."

"My lord, although the risk is quite high, it is a good strategy for our army to solve the crisis as soon as possible." Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "The Donghu people may be prepared, but as long as our cavalry is dispatched, the initiative will be in our hands , where and when to attack, the other party will definitely not know. Only when the time is right, our army will be able to turn the tide of the battle."

"Commander Luo, don't talk nonsense during military discussions." Lin Yifan's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "If you are not sure of victory, you must not take risks. Although our army is at a disadvantage, it has not yet reached the point of being irresistible. If it is true If there is no other way, it might be a safe idea to delay and wait for changes.”

"My lord, the general has absolute confidence." Luo Feng still insisted, "If my lord doesn't believe it, the general is willing to issue a military order."

"Forget about the military order." Hearing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help recalling the memories of the past, and immediately vetoed, "Commander Luo, I know your abilities well. Since you insist on going, I can't hesitate Refuse. How about this, this time you can lead [-] cavalry to go northward, and detour to the rear of the Donghu people. But remember, you only have one chance, if you can't succeed with one blow, you must withdraw immediately, understand?"

"This?" Hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but frown. If he had a chance, the difficulty of this trip would be even greater.However, he also understood what your lord meant. If he missed a single blow and still stayed on the grassland, then his [-] cavalry would face hundreds of thousands of Donghu cavalry chasing and intercepting him, and it would be difficult to retreat at that time. "The last general takes orders."

"Okay, if that's the case, then the main force of our army will rely on Xiashui to confront the enemy, and we must drag most of the enemy to the north of Xiashui." Lin Yifan nodded, "Mr. The defense is up to you."

Qin Yuanhao immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "The last general takes orders."

"Shang Yun, you lead [-] cavalry to meet Kubri, gather [-] soldiers and horses, and cruise around the Donghu people's flanks, attracting part of the enemy's troops." Lin Yifan continued, "But remember not to fight head-on, all with tired soldiers. For."

"The last general takes orders." Shang Yun replied immediately.

"Everyone, prepare to go." Lin Yifan waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Our army will surely win this battle!"

"The Hengshan Army is victorious!" Everyone shouted in unison.
