"When harvesting wheat, there was a golden piece of wheat on the river valley and next to the irrigation canal. The wheat leaves were rolled into a ball, and the wheat straw gradually dried up..." In the marching team, two masters were chatting.

Wang Jiao followed them and listened silently.

He remembered the fields in the countryside of Huizhou. Wait for another month or two and the wheat fields at home should be harvested?

I don’t know if I can get it all by relying on my grandparents and younger brothers.

The sun rises high, the mountains and forests are silent, and the desolate post road leads directly to the distance, as if it is endless.

Five hundred troops from Zhenguo Army had already delivered the supplies to Wuzhai on time, but they did not get permission to return. On the contrary, they were arrested and continued to transport supplies to the east.

Wang Jiao's military position was too low and he could not find out the purpose of advancing eastward. But he had eyes and could guess the real reason.

The Heluo Administration Commander Li Tangbin's big crow passed by yesterday. Thinking of the scene where a large group of soldiers were mobilized eastward, the reason was very clear. After the construction of the county town of Wu County, Li Tangbin ordered the main force to advance eastward and put greater pressure on the Bian army.

He was not very clear about the previous battle.

But the Bian Army could not give up so much land for no reason, right? Even the key point of Wushan was lost.

Any general, as long as he is not stupid, would be on guard against Wushan, but what else can I say about the big banner of the word "天" on the mountain? It must be that our army will win and the Bian army will retreat.

However, this Li Jingliuan was also cautious enough. He built cities and camps, took every step of the way, and used the Wushan Mountain to consume the spirit of the Bian army. Now he is advancing eastward. This is a bullying of not many cavalry in the Bian army. Do you want to expand the results?

"How is the wheat harvest in Fengyi County?"

"Care one hu, two or three buoys acres."

"That's not bad, Zheng County only has one hu."

"Aren't you all watered the ground? Why are you so low?"

"There are mills on the river, and there is very little water in the ditches. The year with a lot of rain is still good, but if there is not much rain, it will be too difficult."

"Whose mill?"

"Who else can it be? This minister and that minister."

"well!"

A cavalry rushed over quickly, shouting as he walked: "The deputy general has an order. The sergeant was wearing armor for an hour, stepped on the bow and raised his spear, and recovered as usual after passing the valley."

After ordering, the convoy stopped one after another.

The soldiers went to get armor and equipment in batches. Wang Jiao also put his armor on the iron armor with the help of his robe, and then took a stairs from the carriage. The bow of his waist was already stringed, and the quiver was filled with arrows.

When marching, of course, it is impossible to carry a stair spear all the time, nor can it be worn on the armor all the time, and the bow tips are not skewed most of the time. One is that physical strength is not allowed, and the second is that it also hinders the speed of the march.

"The strategic commander has passed this journey. Who the hell gives orders? Isn't it a torment?" someone complained dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid I learned from Shuai Shao. Even if I stay for one night, I will keep the camp as if I stayed for a few months." Someone laughed.

Wang Jiao frowned and saw that he was not a soldier from our team.

This is not good for the Zhenguo Army. The sources are too mixed. Many people are simply rural brave men. They have just joined the army for a month or two and are all from places like Longyou with strong folk customs.

I'm afraid I have to eat dozens of whips to learn not to talk nonsense.

After carefully passing through the valley, everyone walked forward for a while before receiving the order: Relieve the armor.

The convoy continued to move forward.

I walked for two days until noon on the sixth day of the seventh month, and finally arrived at my destination: Daying, two miles west of Tuhao Village.

...

In the camp, Li Tangbin had just summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Actually, Wang Jiao guessed correctly.

After the construction of the city in Gu County and the dispatch of defenders, Li Tangbin added 1,500 reinforcements to Fu Cunshen of Gu Village: infantry from the personal military department of the Protectorate Office.

The Bian army has been attacking this mountain village for more than half a month, but it has never been able to capture it.

The main force of the siege was the Zhongwu Army, Caizhou Army and Ruzhou Army coming from the south.

They attacked from the two strongholds of Huiban and Shazha City without any progress.

This kind of terrain is really difficult for them. The effect of a 10,000 army and a 100,000 army is the same. They cannot set up a formation, and they can only invest a little of people.

Fortunately, where such roads were opened on the hillside, the Xia army's cavalry could not show their power, nor could they avoid the two Bian army camps of Shazhacheng and Huixiban. Both sides were bored until Li Tangbin led Yi to the east, Tianzhu, Heyuan, Jishi, and 30,000 troops of Shaanxi and Guo advanced eastward.

He is going to attack Tuhao Village. This village is located 30 miles east of Wuzhai, less than 30 miles from Mianchi County. If he can surround the site and attract some Bian troops to come, he can choose a suitable battlefield and fight against the enemy array.

This does not mean that we must have the confidence to defeat the Bian army in field battles, but who has given us more cavalry?

The field battle is unfavorable, the army retreats, will the Bian army pursue?

If you keep a tight formation and pursue it, the speed will not be fast, and you will not be able to catch up with the defeated Xia army who runs away. Li Tangbin can calmly dismantle the defeated army and reorganize the troops.

If you run in a large scale, the speed will be fast, but the formation will inevitably be loose and messy. At this time, you will be attacked by the cavalry, and you will probably have to win or lose.

Of course, this kind of tactic is not impossible to crack.

Li Keyong attacked Chengde, and general Li Cunxin led the infantry to surround the chariots, and rushed straight to Yaoshan under the harassment of a large group of Chengde cavalry. The Chengde army, who guarded Yaoshan, could not resist and was killed and dispersed. When Yaoshan was lost, the key place, Chengde army was shaken on its entire line, and was eventually defeated and captured and killed more than 10,000.

This is what you hit you, I hit mine.

The battlefield in Hebei is so wide, why do I have to fight you head-on? Isn’t it good to attack you and mobilize your troops and reveal your flaws?

Lao Li’s skills in fighting are indeed not bad.

Of course, the advantage of the many cavalry in Chengde also played a part of the role, otherwise the ending might not be that they were cut off and eaten by tens of thousands of people, but that they lost tens of thousands of dollars.

After the discussions in the tent were completed, the generals went to various camps, but Li Fan stayed, obviously having something to say.

"The Tuhao Village is not very regulated, and there are not many defenders. The bandit army still has heavy troops on Mianchi and on the two bridges, or can be pulled out." Li Tangbin looked at Li Fan, the governor of the Baoyi Army who was specially stayed, and said, "The Baoyi Army has more than ten thousand soldiers, full of horses and horses, brave and good at fighting. The important task of attacking the village is on you."

"The strategy commander has been too much. Although Bao Yi is good at fighting, he is not adapting to the local conditions..." Li Fan obviously did not want to be cannon fodder in the siege and tried his best to defend himself.

Li Tangbin's face turned cold. The personal soldiers in the tent also turned around and stared at him.

Guo Fu, who was sent to Li Tangbin as a pseudopa (supervisor) painting (army), saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, immediately pulled Li Fan out of the tent and said with a smile: "Why did the strategic commander hand over the most outstanding task to the Baoyi Army? I believe that the Baoyi Army has been in the army for many years, guarding important places, with officers and soldiers brave and fierce generals, which are beyond the ordinary soldiers."

Li Fan quickly reached out to stop him. He was afraid that Guo Fu would continue to put a high hat on Bao Yijun, so he heard him say: "The Bian army has been fighting for many years and is strong. Our army has just arrived and has no experience in fighting..."

"So this is the test that the strategic envoy gave to the Baoyi Army." Guo Hao said with a look of course.

"The strategy made this sacrifice to the soldiers of Shaanxi and Guo and preserve their strength." Li Fan was dizzy when he was surrounded by Guo Fu and was a little speechless.

"You can't say that, Bao Yi Army is the strength of the strategic commander." Guo Quan did not change his expression.

Facing Guo Fu with such a thick-skinned face, Li Fan was willing to accept the disadvantage.

I wanted to say a few more words, but when I thought that my governor was recommended by Shao Shude, I could only sigh.

When questioning Li Tangbin in person, he didn't have the courage to do so. But this involved the core interest of a warlord, that is, the issue of "capital", so he had to stand up. After all, the rabbit was anxious and biting people.

But it is obvious that the Shaanxi-Gu soldiers still have to take the lead in the attack on Tuhao Village.

...

After the camp moved to the vicinity of Tuhao Village, the cavalry led by Bai Gui began to become active again.

"The last general dares to bet that after conquering the Tuhao Village, the military commander will still have to build a city." Thousands of cavalry were marching on the hills full of dandelions.

Bai Gui couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "It's mostly like this. But it's also the right way. In the past, Northern Zhou Dynasty and Northern Qi attacked each other, from Shanzhou to Luoyang, they repeatedly tug-of-war and built their own foundations. In the end, the Northern Zhou Dynasty built the city to Xin'an and approached the outer periphery of Luoyang. The military commander probably wanted to do this."

"In the future, the people of Bian were afraid that they would not call him the 'General of the City Building'." Li Duo was speaking.

Bai Gui's more than 8,000 cavalry were from various military cavalry. Li Duo brought a thousand cavalry in Shunyi Army, mainly Shatuo people and the last people. Originally, the envoy of Shunyi Army Youyi was an envoy of An Xiuxiu, but he was also an envoy of the army, so he could not come in person, so Li Duo took it and obeyed the command of Bai Gui, the envoy of Heluo Youyi to attack.

Searching for the cavalry of the Bian Army and fighting with it was Bai Gui's main task, and the secondary task was to cooperate with the field battle of the infantry.

Unfortunately, Hu Zhen didn't seem to have many cavalrymen in his hands and was unwilling to send them out to fight. After searching for them for a long time, they still had no chance of fighting, which made them very upset.

The cavalry of the military is not the kind of cavalry that the Iron Cavalry Army. They are born to exist for the purpose of rushing.

"In a city in Wuxian, Tuhao Village may build a small military city. If Mianchi County is captured, there is no need to build a city. Going east, there is a Hushi Fort, and there is also a ready-made military fort, but it is not easy to attack." Bai Gui said: "In fact, it is not wrong to build a city, it is safe. The terrain is so complex, the mountains are continuous, and there is no support for the city. If you can recruit 5,000 households in Wuxian, it is not a big problem to collect more than 100,000 hu of grain and beans a year, and the hay will be even more uncountable, which can solve a lot of military supplies."

Thirty or forty thousand troops are obviously not enough to attack Luoyang, and it is not worth the sacrifice.

Since this is the case, it is better to advance slowly, take steady steps, learn from the "stupid methods" of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, build a base to advance, and continuously put pressure on the Bian army.

During the Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Zhou Dynasty, many cities were built east of the Yellow River, including the famous "Gaohuan Happy City".

After the Northern Qi defeated the Northern Zhou army, it also built thirteen cities nearby.

This is the helpless move when neither side can achieve a decisive victory, and it will tug at each other.

The Xia army had many cavalry, and the Bian army did not dare to farm west of Luoyang, but I dared!

The more grass and grain output you produce, the more Xia troops can support the war, and you can also recruit Masters and even soldiers on the spot, which will increase your strength.

After more than 3,000 cavalry marched near Mianchi County, they kept sending people to provoke and make an appointment for battle. Unfortunately, they did not see a single hair of the cavalry of the Bian Army.

In desperation, Bai Gui planned to use the same trick again and find a place to hide and rest.

After the main army attacks Tuhao Village, let’s see if the Bian Army will reinforce. If the reinforcement of the enemy does not reveal such a big flaw as Liu Kangyi, then let the main force of the infantry army deal with it. If there are too many flaws, I can’t help it.

As long as you don't let you attack my must-rescue place, the initiative will always be with me.

And what must be saved is to make up for it by building a city. The "bad people" of Zhenguo Army who only know how to defend the city are just right to play their strengths.
