The military situation in front was like fire, and there was no delay at all. After clarifying this point, Xiao Chengzhi only rested in Youzhou City for one night. The next day, after arranging hundreds of trucks of food and supplies in Li Ling, he led 5,000 troops and quickly daring to the northwest.

Li Ling, who stayed in Youzhou, did not relax a little, and continued to urge the food and supplies from all over the Central Plains to transport them to the northern border as quickly as possible. He also took care of the reinforcements from various places, because he knew very well that the battle with Gui Rong was the foundation of the Dayue court, and his various logistics arrangements and arrangements.

In the following days, he almost never took a break. He either inspected various places in Youzhou City to encourage the morale of left-behind soldiers or dealt with various desk affairs, and also received a new batch of food and grass into the city... If Youzhou had not had the tens of thousands of people in the city transferred to the south earlier, I was afraid that Li Ling would have had to be heavier on his burden.

But even so, what he is most concerned about now is the front-line war. I wonder if Sun Bi leads his troops to fight with the Guirong Army, and whether the Jinzhou Army is really as he was worried before, he has already met the enemy before.

However, the front line of war reports were not received for a long time, which really made Li Ling think about it randomly and feels uneasy. The only way to relieve it is to devote more time and energy to military and political affairs.

It was the ninth day of the fourth month, and the genius was in a daze. Li Ling, who had just lie down at nearly four o'clock last night, was woken up by a sudden knock on the door. He was quite alert and immediately rolled over and got out of bed. When he opened the door, he saw Li Moyun standing there with a serious expression and said, "Young Master... the battle report has arrived!"

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "Take it and see it!"

This battle report was sent by a quick horse before dawn. Although Li Moyun did not dismantle it, he also learned something from the messenger. So when he handed over the battle report, he couldn't help but say: "Young Master..."

Li Ling shook his head, stopped the other party's explanation, first opened the envelop covered with fire, took out the thick stack of battle reports, and looked carefully. After seeing this, his face became more and more gloomy. Although he had known that this battle was so dangerous, he did not expect that the two front-line troops would be so passive, especially the situation of the Jinzhou army, which was even more heartbreaking.

I saw that the above was clearly written-

Just twenty days ago, when Sun Bi took the initiative to lead his troops to fight against Gui Rong, the Jinzhou army, who had arrived one step earlier, actually met Gui Rong people head-on in the wilderness half a day away from the scheduled Tuofeng City!

With Dong Gongwang's sophistication and caution, he naturally sent out the spies and scouts. However, the Guirong vanguard cavalry came too fast this time and had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. When the scout team of about 100 people discovered the whereabouts of the enemy, they were targeted by them and chased them to death.

As a result, this scout team composed of Jinzhou elite cavalry was severely injured and suffered heavy casualties as soon as they encountered the enemy. The others retreated desperately, trying to send this information to the central army in the rear. But unexpectedly, the Guirong people did not intend to give them a chance to react at all, and rushed all the way. When the remaining scouts ran to their own army, they actually didn't have to report any more.

An unexpected encounter

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It immediately started, and when Dong Gongwang hurriedly mobilized the army and set up a formation, the cavalry on the opposite side had already decisively launched a charge.

The Jinzhou Army also had its own cavalry, so naturally rushed forward decisively. As a result, the tactics of the two thousand vanguard team on the opposite side were better than theirs on the horse. They actually used the number of cutting and siege that they had never dealt with before, and rushed nearly 3,000 Vietnamese cavalry to pieces, and then decisively rushed to the central army of the Vietnamese army, which had not yet set its defensive formation.

Fortunately, Di Jingfei led his 5,000 infantrymen to advance in time and defended the central army with a large shield spear, and finally withstood the raid.

However, the Jinzhou army still suffered great losses and could only retreat temporarily to avoid the enemy's edge.

This is a defeat that Dayue has never encountered since its founding. It is a huge shame to be defeated by only two thousand Guirong cavalry with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry.

This battle report is actually not written in detail, but Li Ling can also see shame and anger between the lines. Obviously, the defeat of the Jinzhou army has a huge blow to the entire Great Vietnam border army, because there is no good reason to excuse the border army.

You said that it was because of a sudden encounter with the enemy that the entire army failed to set up its formation in time, but the problem was that the enemy was the same? This was a very fair encounter for both sides, but the Jinzhou army, which had more troops, was defeated so miserably.

After all, this is a concentrated manifestation of the continuous decline in combat power of the border army in Yue. If you only defend the city and fight, the Jinzhou army is well-trained enough to deal with the enemy, and even rely on the right territorial position to achieve victory after victory. However, when the environment has changed and the fortifications they can rely on, and even the simplest camp defense is not even the simplest battalion defense, the border army of Yue has completely lost the power to fight back under the impact of the Guirong cavalry.

In Li Ling's view, this is the key to the loss of the first battle, which also made his already tight heart even raise up, and he didn't even dare to continue reading this battle report.

What does it mean to have a thousand pounds per word? The battle report in my hand, which is only two or three thousand words, gives a good answer.

However, you still have to read the battle report you should read. Even if it is really a bad news in the end, you have to understand it before you can make corresponding preparations. So, after taking a deep breath, Li Ling continued to read.

The subsequent development of the war was indeed increasingly unfavorable to the Jinzhou army, because after this retreat, not only did its own morale shake more violently, but what was more terrible was that it provided time for the main force of Gui Rong to arrive.

Although the entire Gui Rong army was not the one who followed, the 20,000 elite cavalry still put enough pressure on the Vietnamese soldiers who failed in the first battle. Moreover, this time, they no longer attacked head-on as before, but instead took the detour of the two thousand cavalry front-on-front restraint and rushed to the side of the Vietnamese army.

Fortunately, Dong Gongwang calmed down at this time and hurriedly dispatched troops to defend the battle formation and repelled the enemy with thousands of arrows. However, when he lost one another, he was once again blasted in by the two thousand elite cavalry, and another cutting tactic, causing hundreds of soldiers to suffer casualties. The retreating troops disrupted part of his own battle formation.

If Gong Wang hadn't taken action in time and killed several people in a row to stabilize the morale of the army, I was afraid that this time would make the army retreat again. If he retreated again this time, facing a larger number of Guirong cavalry, the consequences would be that the army would be defeated.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

But it's really serious.

After a series of confrontations, it made the sky dark, which was not conducive to the battle between the two armies. The Guirong cavalry retreated slightly, but confronted the Vietnamese army, and at the same time waited for the arrival of more troops in the rear.

The battle process of the next few days was written even simpler. It was nothing more than the enemy attacking the Jinzhou army, and the Jinzhou army defended the enemy without moving; the enemy attacked the side, and the Jinzhou army divided the troops to respond, and then retreated for several miles.

But Li Ling also knew that in these seemingly simple words, the soldiers of the Jinzhou Army were taking their lives and fighting with the enemy with their blood. Moreover, the Jinzhou Army was always at a disadvantage and was beaten to retreat.

But then, a question arose from his heart: "Since the Jinzhou army was able to retreat in a panic with just two thousand cavalry at the beginning, why did the Guirong people not be able to expand their results again with the increasing force?"

This thought only circulated in his mind for a moment, then put it aside and focused on the battle situation behind him.

It was also after being suppressed for several days that Dong Gongwang finally changed his tactics. He no longer blindly defended his body, but instead sent cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's side to share the pressure in front of him. At the same time, his team no longer retreated, but avoided the side, and even began to circle back north and lean towards the Camel City.

The battle of several days has given him and his soldiers a clear concept, that is, the decisive battle between the wilderness is far from the opponent of Guirong, and the attack and defense of several days have left them with no time to build fortifications, so the only way is to find a ready-made city fortress to rely on. And such a city fortress is the closest to them, the only thing is to have a Camel City.

So, after using continuous changes and confrontation with the enemy for seven days, the Jinzhou army deceived the enemy in front with feint attack, and he first passed through the enemy's side, and then quickly headed towards Tuofeng City.

Seeing this turning point, Li Ling was inspired and was very impressed by Dong Gong Wang. He is worthy of being a former general in the northern border. He can use strange moves in such an unfavorable situation and find opportunities for victory in failure. Whether it is mental or military use, it is very comparable to ordinary generals.

What's more important is that Li Ling also knew that Sun Bi had led the Youzhou army to reinforce. According to time calculations, once he arrived at Tuofeng City, he would likely meet with the Youzhou army. In this way, the two major border troops in the northern border of Vietnam were enough to completely turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory!

Li Ling continued to watch with this mood. As expected, everything was going in a good direction. The Guirong people seemed to have never expected the Vietnamese army to have this move. In addition, this time, Dong Gongwang no longer retained his bows and arrows could not stop firing at the enemy like raindrops, completely dragging their pursuit.

This escaped and chased, and two days later, Shuangshi had already arrived at the city of Tuofeng one after another.

When Li Ling saw that "the Jinzhou army arrived directly under the city and called the gate to enter...", he was happy at first, but then he felt an uneasy thought in his heart. It seemed that something had been ignored by him before, and it was written in the battle report that even Dong Gongwang, the people and others, seemed to have not discovered this fatal problem.
