Chapter 414: Nuisance

On March 28th, twenty days have passed since the Yan State sent troops to attack Donghu. Tens of thousands of Yan troops broke into three groups and broke into Donghu territory. It seems vulnerable, in front of the Yan army's overwhelming military power, it will collapse at the touch of a touch, and there is no effective resistance at all. watermark ad test watermark ad test

This unusually smooth situation made Yan Jun ecstatic. It seems that the information from Donghu and Lin is correct. Miranda is dead. The two princes with the most power in Donghu, Thorpe and Sok, are in a fight. In the battle for the throne, Donghu's most elite troops unexpectedly fell into infighting at this critical moment, making Yan's army basically vulnerable to weak troops.

This situation continued until five days ago, when the left wing commanded by Gao Yuan finally met the first wave of strong opponents, the Tieling Department of Donghu. This medium-sized tribe with more than 5,000 cavalry stands on the road ahead of Gaoyuan. In the past five days, the two sides have fought several times, with each other winning and losing. They blocked Zhenyuan, and for a while, the two sides formed a stalemate.

The Tieling Department gave full play to the style of cavalry mobile warfare. Instead of contacting Gaoyuan's main force, they adopted the tactics of constantly harassing from the side and attacking the grain road behind Gaoyuan. When a small group of troops gathered together, they had thousands of iron cavalry, forming a powerful force that had a devastating blow to Gao Yuan's troops, forcing Gao Yuan to stop advancing, not to defeat this enemy, and conquer the east. It is impossible for the army to move forward.

But how easy is it to defeat an opponent? This is almost a strong enemy that can be evenly matched with the Zhengdong Army.

"General, the messenger of Taiwei Zhou of the Central Route Army is here!" Yan Haibo, who was on duty, led a dusty general into the lofty tent.

"Last General Zheng Xin, I have met General Gao!" The visitor gave Gao Yuan a military salute and straightened up. "The last general is one of Zhou Taiwei's generals, who was ordered by the Taiwei to send a military report to the general."

"It's been a hard journey!" Gao Yuan nodded and took the military report. He took a look at Zheng Xin. This person also looks extremely husky, with a height of eight feet. The shoulders are wide and the waist is round, and the shirt is covered with blood stains, obviously coming here all the way. There have also been fires with Donghu people.

"It's not a lot of hard work!" Zheng Xin grinned, "It's just that along the way, there are too many sentinels from the Donghu people, and there are always a few of them in the next section of the road, and they kill them along the way."

Yan Haibo on the side smiled and said: "General Zheng is so majestic. When he met our patrolling cavalry, he immediately hung the heads of a dozen Donghu people. His face is hideous."

"General Zheng is mighty!" Gao Yuan gave the opponent a thumbs up, "It's amazing to be able to kill more than a dozen Donghu sentry cavalry." He didn't mean to flatter the opponent, but sincerely. In an army, those who can serve as sentry cavalry are the elite of the army,

Everyone was extremely slippery, this Zheng Xin came all the way, and he was able to kill more than a dozen sentry cavalry, not to mention anything else, this courage is very remarkable.

"It's nothing to fight these Donghu people head-on. It's just that these people are extremely cunning. They set up traps and set up traps. They are omnipotent. Although I killed more than a dozen of them, I also suffered a lot on my own side. A dozen brothers also died."

"It's pretty good to be able to maintain a one-to-one casualty ratio with the Donghu cavalry!" Gao Yuan comforted. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the general in front of him.

"How is Taiwei Zhou's progress?" Gao Yuan didn't rush to open the battle report and put it on the table, but stared at Zheng Xin in front of him.

Speaking of the Central Route Army, Zheng Xin had a look of pride on his face. Although he tried his best to hide it in front of Gao Yuan, he couldn't hide his pride. "Returning to General Gao's words, before I set off, our army had already defeated Panshan, an important town of the Donghu people, and crossed Panshan."

"What, the Central Route Army has broken through the Panshan defense line?" Gao Yuan stood up suddenly, his face full of shock, "Map!"

Yan Haibo immediately copied out a map from the big case, spread it out in front of Gao Yuan, tapped his finger on the position of Panshan, and then slowly moved to Zhenyuan where he is now, Gao Yuan's expression became more and more serious. ugly. When the troops were dispatched a month ago, the Left Army and the Right Army were still more than 50 miles ahead of the Central Army, but in less than a month, the Central Army unexpectedly advanced by more than a hundred miles, more than a hundred miles, in the On the map, it was only an inch long distance, but in reality, that was quite a gap. With the maneuvering speed of the Eastern Hu cavalry, they could fully utilize the space of a hundred miles.

"Why is the central army advancing so fast? In the original plan, didn't they advance in three directions?" Gao Yuan sat down slowly, "Where did the right army Zhang Shubao go?"

"Returning to General Gao, General Zhang Shubao on the right is still in Ningzhong, and he is even behind General Gao's troops on the left!" Zheng Xin replied. "That's why Zhou Taiwei sent me here to ask General Gao to step up his efforts and try to catch up with the marching speed of the Central Route Army." Zheng Xin said.

"Panshan is Donghu's most important line of defense. After passing Panshan, the Central Route Army will march straight into Liaoning Wei. This is a good thing, but why is the Panshan defense line collapsing so quickly? What does Taiwei Zhou think about this?" Gao Yuan asked.

"The Panshan defense line was defeated by our army. There is something really going on here." Zheng Xin said with a smile: "The Donghu people tried to die. When our army arrived, they even took away 20,000 cavalry from the Panshan defense line and ran back. Helping Suoke fight for the throne, once the 20,000 people left, Panshan's army's morale fluctuated, and our army took advantage of the situation to break through. Now the forward led by General Zhou Yu has already approached Liaoning Wei, while Zhou Taiwei's main force is still sweeping the rest of the Eastern Hu in Panshan. cavalry."

"Are 20,000 cavalry?" Gao Yuan found it unbelievable that the Yan army attacked Panshan in a large scale, and it was Liaoning Wei, the most important town in Donghu, second only to Helin, and they actually took away 20,000 cavalry. "Is there any trick here?"

"No, the 20,000 cavalry belong to the Duoyan tribe, and the Duoyan tribe is a staunch supporter of the eldest prince Suoke. According to the information obtained by Yan Lingwei, in Helin, Suoke and his supporters were killed by Donghu. The palace guards retreated steadily, and the Agu and Suoke troops were about to collapse, so they had no choice but to send the Duoyan tribe back to support." Zheng Xin said: "This is also God bless me, Dayan, at this juncture Immediately, Miranda died, and the two sons fought fiercely, it seems that in a short time, the brothers can still decide the winner."

"Is Yan Lingwei's news true?"

"Of course, we have verified through many aspects. These days, many caravans have escaped from the outer edge of Helin. The patriarch Agu Yingxin had his head chopped off, and his head was hung on the head of Helin City. Tsk tsk, the patriarch of the Agu tribe, this is the most famous tribe in Donghu. So it is easy to say that the Duoyan tribe was transferred back by Suoke There is no problem. I am afraid that Suoke has reached the end of the road. At this time, does he care about the invasion of Dayan? Even if we Dayan hit Helin City and captured him, people like him will not If he loses his head, the great thing is that we will catch him back to Jicheng and raise him up, but if he falls into the hands of his brothers, it will not only lose his life, but even his entire family will be killed. "Zheng Xin was so excited that he spit all over the place.

Even Agu Yingxin was killed! Gao Yuan was shocked. Agu Yingxin was a big shot in Donghu. With his head hung up, he would not be misunderstood. In this way, Donghu's internal fighting has reached this level? This is really the blessing of the Great Swallow. What Zheng Xin said also made sense. Donghu did not fight once or twice. The losers were almost all killed. For example, Miranda was one of the best fighters. His brothers did not even have a single descendant. its masterpiece.

"Zhou Taiwei said, this is a golden opportunity. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that Donghu's inner fight will soon be decided. Suoke must be unable to support now, otherwise Duoyan will not be transferred back. , we have to take advantage of this rare time period to take down the Liaoning Guards in one go, and then press on He Lin, otherwise, when Thorpe clears up Sock and reorganizes his army, Dong Hu will fight again, which will inevitably cause trouble A lot."

"What does the captain mean?"

"The Taiwei means to ask the general to take Yulin by the end of April." Zheng Xin said. "The captain also said..."

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gao Yuan, and swallowed back the following words.

"He also said that if Yulin is not captured within the time limit, he will have our military law enforced, right?" Gao Yuan laughed.

"This is Zhou Taiwei's original words, and the general is just passing it on!" Zheng Xin said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, I see. After you go back, tell Taiwei Zhou that I will definitely arrive in Yulin by the end of April." Gao Yuan stood up.

"Yes, General Gao, why don't you write a receipt?"

"It's not necessary, just tell Taiwei Zhou like this!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "You have worked hard all the way here, so take a good rest today, tomorrow I will let our scouts escort you all the way out of Zhenyuan, the Tieling Department in front of us So cunning, their scouts are infiltrating everywhere."

"Thank you General Gao for your kindness!" Zheng Xin clasped his fists and said sincerely. During his journey, many of his followers died, and it would be a difficult journey back. If Gao Yuan could send troops to escort him for a while, that would be a great thing.

Seeing Zheng Xin leave the tent, Gao Yuan's expression darkened, "Call all the generals to the big tent to discuss matters."

Zhou Yuan posed a problem for him. Without defeating the Tieling tribe in front of him, it is impossible for him to cross their defense line and reach Yulin, but how can the five thousand cavalry of the Tieling tribe be defeated so easily? If one is not careful, he may be swallowed by the Tieling Department. Could it be that this Tieling Department is a die-hard supporter of Thorpe, otherwise why are they so active? Turned a blind eye to the fight with Lin, or did Thorpe already have the upper hand?
