The Wei army guarding the Jishui River finally survived until dawn, and Dong Xuan of Dingtao City opened the door as soon as possible, so they finally retreated, and thus delayed the Red Eyebrow Army for half a day.

When Xu Xuan crossed the Ji River, it was already the afternoon of the next day. He was not happy to break through the obstacles and looked around. Due to insufficient supplies, the Red Eyebrow soldiers had no food after fighting hard for a night, and had to search for fried noodles from the pockets of the Wei soldiers who died in battle to satisfy their hunger. Those who could not "fight to fight" were unwilling to go on the road without any worries. Some people were catching fish in the river and making soup, and some were searching for wild vegetables. Their speed advantage when walking was offset by bad supplies.

Everyone was tired after fighting for several days. When they were rushing forward, they were basically messy and the road was muddy and difficult to walk. The camps of ten thousand people were in chaos on the marching road, and even fought for those who were fighting for the road.

"The person from Zhuzao City said that Mr. Fan was fighting to die with Ma Yuan, and the fifth Lun was on the Pushui line and could go south to the battlefield at any time."

"But we are in chaos before the war."

The Red Eyebrows have always been like this in the war. They have no rules. They often rely on a large number of people and high morale. They kill the masters by random punches. When they meet new troops, Green Forest and other people with low morale, they will collapse first after passing the turtle punches.

"But this time, can we still win in chaos when facing the Wei army?"

...

On the other side of the battlefield, the person who coordinated the logistics of the Wei army was Dou Rong, the commander of the Sili. The emperor issued the orders one by one, and each link was also determined to be executed. If the execution was not in place, the military law would be waiting for the disposal!

The Hanoi civilians' mission is to build supply stations along the way. They did not send armored soldiers, and their only "weapon" was the door panels pushed on the deer cart.

Xiang Ziping's number of people has not changed, but there are some people who have gone in and out. Some people have lost their figures as they walk, and some strange faces have followed them in a confused manner. When they ask, they realize that they can't help but go to the roadside to soak up shit, and they get separated from the team. They are afraid of being arrested as deserters, so they can only walk with them for the time being.

While resting along the way, a civilian who came in from the line patted the door panels covered with mud and bloodstained:

"Before the war, I worked as a servant in a rural tavern. Every day, I got up at dawn and put down the door panels before nightfall. Before nightfall, I had to put them on. Chimei rushed into the township and killed the restaurants in the restaurant for a few bites. I had no livelihood and had to join the army and make a living. I never thought that I would still serve them!"

These door panels were not easy to transport from Hanoi to the Yellow River. After building the pontoon bridge, they demolished them and continued to transport them south. This is a good thing. The soldiers often slept on them before they could build camps. When they were carried to the Pu River, there was not enough local wood and they could build a few more pontoon bridges.

Units of different institutions are crossing the river in a row. After entering the army for a long time, Xiang Ziping will also look at the other party's quality.

"You can't see whether the armor and soldiers are bright, but whether they walk in a uniform manner."

For example, now, the second division from Guanzhong has arrived at the Pushui border. From the training point of view, it is much better than the Sanhe soldiers and the Sanhe soldiers. There are at least five rows of infantry marching on the avenue. The four columns on both sides are fast queues, directly flowing across the river, while the middle is a little slower, transporting food and supplies, and they must walk from the pontoon bridge.

After passing the Pu River, they used lilu or pavilions every ten miles south to set up a supply station. The soldiers were busy rushing to the front to fight, while the civilians stayed in each camp and were arranged to find firewood and dig stoves to boil water.

These camps have three uses: one is to curb the injuries of yesterday's war, and the second is that the stove is hot all night long, making rice and grain transported by the villagers into meals, mainly to make easy-to-carry wheat cakes or black steamed buns. Each passing soldier can get two. This is a meal, which is better than dry fried noodles.

Finally, they can be used to contain soldiers who have fallen behind, lose their shoes, wear their feet, drink unclean water and diarrhea, which will make them farther and farther away from their troops. Of course, Xiang Ziping also found many people who deliberately injured themselves, and left behind with lame legs. They were frightened by the corpse by Pushui and did not dare to go to the front line again. Some were lucky enough to avoid the inspection of the army, while others were considered to be a fraudulent injury and were taken down on the spot, waiting for them or cruel punishment.

Everything was in chaos and orderly. If you walked hard, Wei Jun would carry a grain bag and a roll of straw mat, with more weight than red eyebrows and less strength than their feet. However, a good supply line could save a lot of time when the troops advanced.

Dou Rong dared to promise the fifth reunion: "No matter how victory or defeat of Fan Chong and Ma Guowei, our reinforcements will definitely arrive at the battlefield first than Chimei!"

"Wan Yuan will lose?"

But Wu Lun doesn't think so: "Since we were in New Qinzhong for seven years, Wen Yuan has experienced many battles, but has never been defeated! He can be called a perfect general!"

...

The reinforcements of the Wei army and the Red Eyebrow were like the two ends of a rope, pulling each other, and the knots tightened in the middle were a battle between Ma Yuan and Fan Chong.

The scorched crows between the Heji River have been catching up with good times in recent years. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, hunger and hunger all over the ground have made them eat well. Today, they are also flying high in the sky. The empty Yanzhou field is full of corpses of Wei army and red eyebrows. They flapping their wings and falling down. The sharp beaks are the first to peck at the flesh on their cheeks or delicious eyeballs.

The wild dogs that usually feed together with crows do not dare to approach today because they are red-eyed warriors wandering among the corpses. They closed their brothers' eyes, stabbed the Wei army, who were not dead with spears, stripped off their armor and soldiers to replace their broken weapons.

Three days ago, Ma Yuan ordered Gaiyan's Yuyang Rising Cavalry to leave first, and he led his troops to circle around and surrounded Yang Yin's troops of the Red Eyebrow Army who came to intercept his side, and defeated the opponent in a hurry - this was the third time that Yang Yin lost under Ma Yuan.

But just when the Wei army had just won the battle and began to chase the north, they were attacked from behind.

Ma Yuan received a warning from the scout in advance, but before he could hurry to gather the dispersed troops, Chimei had already arrived. The Chimei under Fan Chong had a total of 12 battalions of 10,000 people. According to their messy way of walking, the time to arrive at the battlefield was different.

According to the general's habits, he would definitely wait on the spot and then face the hostile forces after the army gathered. However, Fan Chong personally generalized the elite Red Eyebrows, and after only two moments of rest, he launched an attack on Ma Yuan! The Red Eyebrows Army was like the Yellow River sweeping across the wilderness, rushing the Wei army into pieces.

On the one hand, he was exhausted after the long journey, and on the other hand, after the war, the chasing enemy array was scattered. Fan Chong successfully pulled Ma Yuan into the chaos that he was good at. The Red Eyebrow Army kept coming, but Ma Yuan's people were fewer and fewer than he could not withstand the impact and was defeated. After a series of chaotic punches, the lonely troops in the battalions and brigades were eaten. Ma Yuan had only time to gather a division and was trapped in the wilderness.

"The red eyebrows are endless, and they can't even kill them."

At this moment, Ma Yuan was sitting in the formation. The set of Mingguang armor given by the fifth reunion was originally quite shining and complete, but now the armor piece was cut by the Red Eyebrow Dead Warriors who rushed into the central army, and they were no longer "complete". Fortunately, most of them were just scratches.

But if Ma Yuan was defeated by Fan Chong? It was not entirely true. He at least saved the situation, gathered the main force, blocked the attack of Red Eyebrows, and now moved between the two hills, using a large cart as a camp, holding a halberd and a shield in the front row, and using a bow and crossbow in the back row.

Whenever the Red Eyebrow pounced over, Ma Yuan often waved his troops to fight, with thousands of crossbows being launched at the same time, and the Red Eyebrow soldiers fell down according to the strings, and every time they attacked, they would leave hundreds of corpses.

No matter how fierce the Red Eyebrow is, he cannot withstand the loss and suspends the attack. However, the Wei army is not much better. Ma Yuan has been sleepless again, and the injured soldiers are wailing, the crows are clamoring, and the Red Eyebrow is loudly provoking, but the main reason is that Ma Yuan is angry.

Be angry with yourself.

Ma Yuan remembered Dong Xuan’s advice to him and reflected: “If you listen to Dong Shaoping’s words, rectify the military appearance and tighten the army, and defeat Yang Yin, the generals would not have rushed so quickly, but instead exposed your back to Fan Chong…”

Ma Yuan suffered the loss of despising Chimei too much, but he did not expect that Fan Chong could be so decisive. He threw down the north side of the emperor who swept his eyebrows and seduced Chimei without paying attention, and turned around and stared at Ma Yuan and beat him hard.

The most important thing at the moment is to figure out the situation of the enemy and us. After a period of inventory, the division lost at least one brigade, but the defeated soldiers of other divisions were collected, with a total of less than 10,000.

After the red eyebrows Fan Chong and Yang Yin's remnants merged, the number was at least ten times that of theirs.

At this moment, the red eyebrows outside started to clamor again. Ma Yuan then took everyone to watch it, but saw the red eyebrows carrying the brigades that had been captured, and the camp flag came to the temporary camp of the Wei army, held them high and shook them, and then threw them to the ground to burn them.

Then hundreds of captured Wei soldiers were pushed, shouting to avenge their brothers and killing them in front of them. Soon, these heads were inserted into the tip of the Red Eyebrow Army's spear...

The Red Eyebrow warriors kept talking filthy words, basically greeting the female relatives of Ma Yuan's family. It doesn't matter if the captains themselves were humiliated. Whoever dared to say a ill-mouthed Ma Yuan could draw his sword in the street. After hearing this, he was furious: "We surrendered the Red Eyebrow army in Dingtao without killing them. Those who are so cruel. After this battle, they will slaughter all the thieves!"

They began to ask for a breakthrough: "The National Guard, although there are many people in the Red Eyebrow, they lack long-range crossbows and have been exhausted after a long journey of fierce battles. They gathered more than 100,000 people and only surrounded me but not attacked me, which means that their morale has been exhausted. If ten thousand people can be united, they will be able to run rampant. The other two divisions must have remained. As long as they break through and rush out and join them, they can fight and retreat and withdraw from Zhuzaocheng!"

This plan is indeed feasible. Although the Red Eyebrow Army completed the division of Ma Yuan's unit, the encirclement was not tight. They were only thirty miles away from Zhuzao City. If Ma Yuan ordered a breakthrough, with their combat power, even if they could not escape unscathed under the siege of 100,000 Red Eyebrows, a considerable part of the power could still be preserved. The generals, the captains loved Ma Yuan, and thought that at least they had to send the general out alive.

However, Ma Yuan disagreed and asked back: "Our army retreated to boiling dates, and Fan Chong could lead all the main forces to go south and jump out of Heji? Aren't you going to avenge this battle?"

They just said that the general is still thinking about turning defeat into victory? Everyone looked at each other. The location where the Wei army refused to defend was not considered a dangerous pass. They only rely on the trees, hills, carriages, and wait for the red eyebrows to recover their strength to rush over, which is not much different from the field battle.

At this moment, it was dark, and people looking out at the top of the hill came to report that after igniting the beacon, they found a series of fast-moving fire snakes twenty miles northwest (Hanli) away. They responded to them continuously according to the night contact information set by the Fifth Reun for the Wei army.

Judging from the speed, it must be the chariot and cavalry troops. It should be Gai Yan who noticed the real movement of the Red Eyebrow Army and turned around.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After learning about this, Ma Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, covering his stomach with a smile. This reaction can be described as "ecstatic".

Everyone looked at each other, and after laughing enough, Ma Yuan revealed the answer to the captains: "One of his joys is that since Gai Yan was not trapped by the Red Eyebrow Army, the details of this battle with the strength of the Yuyang Riding Cavalry will naturally be heard by His Majesty."

"The second thing he is happy is that His Majesty's strategy of completely annihilated Red Eyebrows is about to be realized!"

Although it was in a way that no one expected before the war, Ma Yuan himself was in a disrespectful posture.

Ma Yuan asked to spread the map and pointed to it, "Since Fan Chong did not go north and went south to encounter me, it means that on the Pushui line, tens of thousands of people alone resisted Your Majesty's army, he would definitely be defeated! It would be yesterday, and it would be late, and today, the situation of the Pushui battle has been decided."

"More than 100,000 people in Fan Chong trapped me here, because I wanted to wipe it out in one fell swoop. By then, no matter whether I retreated south or turned back to face His Majesty, I would be quite calm. However, my troops were well-armed and were in favorable terrain. The red eyebrows were tired and could not conquer them repeatedly, and they lost the opportunity to win quickly."

"Now, there are Juqing Yuyang Cavalry nearby, and our troops are remnants, and there are His Majesty, Jizhou soldiers, Sanhe soldiers, and large troops gathering. This is a good opportunity to fight against Fan Chong. It is better for our troops to stick to the position and attract the main force of the Red Eyebrows, so that we can cooperate with Your Majesty to attack the Red Eyebrows!

"Your Majesty often uses hammer anvil to describe infantry and cavalry or the combination of attack and defense between two armies."

"In the past, His Majesty was the anvil, and I made the hammer."

Ma Yuan shook off the depression after the defeat, became energetic again, and said, "This time, it's my turn to be an anvil, and your descendant will be the hammer!"

"As soon as the five-colored flag arrives, I will cooperate with Your Majesty inside and outside, treat the red eyebrows as the newly released molten iron, and smash it into flames everywhere! The center is blooming!"
Chapter completed!
