In mid-October, Tian Dan led the main force of the Qi army to fully enter Langya. Standing under the Langya County City, he stared at the fortified city that was still standing despite Tian Fucheng's 50,000 Qi army attacking with all its strength for more than half a month, frowning. He frowned and shook his head, turned around and left without saying a word. Tian Fucheng followed him anxiously.

"Father, give me a little more time, and I will definitely capture Langya County!" Tian Fucheng chased Tian Dan closely and whispered.

Tian Dan stopped and turned his head to look at Tian Fucheng. He stared at him for a while until Tian Fucheng lowered his head in sweat.

"Now, Langya County is no longer the focus," Tian Dan said coldly: "If Wei He had captured Langya County before Wei He broke into western Liaoning, capturing Ye Jing'er and others alive would be one of the key points that could affect the entire war situation. Besides, now, the focus has shifted. Except for the county town and Guangping controlled by Ding Wei, other places in Langya have fallen into the hands of our army. Now, our main force is going to march into western Liaoning. Wei He must be the cavalry. It is impossible for him to attack the city. If the remaining troops in western Liaoning are huddled in the city, he will not have many options."

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Liaoxi: "We must capture Liaoxi, Jishi and other places before Gao Yuan's army returns, and make Gao Yuan a sourceless water and a rootless tree. As long as we do this, Gao Yuan will The defeat is not far away. Even if he still controls the prairie and Donghu, it will be of no avail. The prairie is vast and sparsely populated, and the Huns are divided only because of Gaoyuan's strength. If Gaoyuan is weak, the Huns will follow him. It will be a matter of time before people abandon him, and Donghu is not only unable to get much support, but also needs a lot of troops to stabilize the situation in Donghu. Therefore, we must seize every opportunity to occupy Liaoxi and Jishi County. land, cutting off Gao Yuan's connection with his base camp."

"My father has always been far-sighted, and my son is impressed!" Tian Fucheng said

Tian Dan glared at him: "Half a month. With an absolutely superior force, you haven't captured Langya yet, but you have lost troops and generals. It really disappoints me. This time we march into western Liaoning, you don't have to go. You will lead 20,000 troops to stay in Langya. I will take away all the remaining troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army that contained Langya and follow me into western Liaoning."

"A son will obey his father's orders," Tian Fucheng said in a small voice.

"It doesn't matter whether we can capture Langya or not. As long as I occupy Liaoxi and Jishi County, Langya will be defeated and cannot hold on any longer. You are in Langya. The most important task is to raise enough food and other logistics for the main force." "Langya, Langya is one of the richest counties in Yan State. I hope you won't disappoint me again this time." Tian Dan looked at Tian Fucheng sternly. The three long strands of beard under the chin move automatically in the absence of wind

"Father, don't worry, your son will do his best."

"I hope so. This time I will lead the whole country's troops to go out,

Some people in the country think they have an opportunity. Hum, your eldest brother has done a great job. Under the thunder and storm, all the unscrupulous people were beheaded. It can be said that I am brave and resourceful. Now no one in the country dares to hold me back. You have to follow your elder brother and learn how to do things."

"Yes. My son understands!" Hearing Tian Dan praise his eldest brother Tian Yuanyuan, Tian Fucheng couldn't help but clenched his cheeks. This time he lost points in front of his father, but his eldest brother gained points. Between the increase and decrease, he was afraid that he However, his weight in his father's mind was about to drop sharply. He looked back at the flag of the Eastern Conquest Army still flying at the top of Langya City, and gritted his teeth.

Tian Dan mobilized almost all the troops of the Qi State, totaling 200,000 infantry and cavalry, to invade the Yan State. So far, his strategy has been quite successful. He deceived almost all the forces on the continent and occupied the entire Yan State in one fell swoop. Excluding all other lands within the area controlled by Zhengdong Mansion, they then used the victorious division to aggressively invade Western Liaoning with a force of 200,000, excluding the 30,000 infantry and cavalry who stayed in Tianhe County to stabilize the situation and the nearly 20,000 casualties in the war. In addition, 150,000 infantry and cavalry attacked western Liaoning on a large scale. In the eyes of all other countries, this battle put Zhengdong Prefecture in danger.

The Eastern Expedition Army has a large number of troops, but the problem is that the main force of the Eastern Expedition Army is now in Donghu. It is not easy to transfer hundreds of thousands of troops back from Donghu in time. Even if Gao Yuan returns after hearing the news, He doesn't have one to two months to get help, and he's afraid he won't be able to come back in time. Will Tian Dan give him this time?

A month has passed since Tian Dan invaded the Yan Kingdom. Now Tian Dan's army is divided into two groups. The main force is led by Tian Dan and is heading towards western Liaoning. The other group is led by his general Huo Siwei and enters from Tianhe County. In Hejian, we took the same old path that Gao Yuan led his troops to raid Tianhe.

Huo Siwei only led 10,000 cavalry. His purpose was to firmly contain Ye Zhen's Central Field Army, the only one left in the mainland in Gaoyuan, so that he could not return to Liaoxi and Jishi. In fact, Ye Zhen did Unable to return reinforcements, at this time, the Central Group Army was divided into two troops. One was led by Naha and stationed in Hejian, and the other was led by Ye Zhen himself and stationed on the border between Yuyang and Tianhe.

After resting for only one day in Langya, Tian Dan ordered to advance to western Liaoning

Three days later, Tian Dan received shocking news from the scouts. This news brought the entire Qi army to a halt.

Troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army appeared at Xiaoshanguan

The report sent by Wei He just a few days ago also claimed that the Weishan Pass had been demolished by the Zhengdong Mansion and was not guarded by any soldiers. He had successfully passed through and entered the territory of western Liaoning in just a few days. The troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army reappeared at Xiaoshanguan. Is this a coincidence or a calculation?

If it was a calculation, then they deliberately let Wei He's 20,000 cavalry enter the territory of western Liaoning. The meaning is self-evident. They wanted to eat Wei He's 20,000 cavalry.

But where does their confidence come from? The main force of the Eastern Conquest Army was in Donghu territory. What could they use to eat up Wei He's 20,000 cavalry? Could it be that their cavalry has returned to western Liaoning?

When Tian Dan thought of this possibility, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Could it be so fast? Is the March to the East so fast? Donghu is not just paper, Helin is also a strong city. The reports sent back by Qi officials who were originally sent to Helin to help the Donghu people train infantry all claimed that as long as Helin had enough manpower to defend, it would take an extremely long time to siege and spend a large number of soldiers to defeat Helin. life is possible

How long did it take for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to enter Donghu? How could he just end the war with Donghu and rush back?

Impossible, this must be a coincidence. Tian Dan looked at the scout kneeling in front of him. Asked: "What is the designation of that army? Does it belong to the general under Gao Yuan?"

"Returning to the Prime Minister, I saw on the military flag of that army, embroidered with the newly formed First Army, and the general's flag read Zhang"

"New First Army, new First Army!" Tian Dan paced back and forth in the big tent after turning around a few times. Suddenly his eyes lit up, "New edition?"

He suddenly burst out laughing. The people in Zhengdong Mansion were really honest and lovely. The military numbers were so random that one could guess the meaning from the words. Gao Yuan had Ye Chong, Ye Zhen, He Lanxiong, Meng Chong, Xu Yuan and many other generals under his command, but there had never been a general named Zhang. Tian Dan wanted to lead the Yan Kingdom and defeat the Eastern Expedition Army. We also put a lot of effort into the subordinate generals of the Eastern Conquest Army.

"Humph, I was shocked. New army? Some soldiers and generals recruited temporarily. They didn't dare to touch the edge of Wei He's cavalry, but they tried to stop my army at Xiaoshan Pass. If Xiaoshan Pass was still there, it would be impossible. That's all, but you chose to seek death and tore down the mountain pass into a piece of flat ground. This is really a crime committed by God, but you can still live. If you do it yourself, you can't live." Tian Dan determined in his heart that this new army was just an expedition to the east. Some young men were temporarily recruited by the government due to insufficient military strength. There they also put the other person in their eyes

"Move forward, move towards the Kooshan Pass. I want to level the Kooshan Pass!" Tian Dan shouted angrily.

The Qi army only paused for a long time, and then once again embarked on the journey towards the Yaoshan Pass. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hongyu, who was waiting in full formation at the Yaoshan Pass, knew that Tian Dan had actually guessed the combat strength of his troops based on their names. , will he laugh three times or become angry? The new army is indeed a new army, but it is filled with thousands of officers trained in Jishi City Military University over several years, and most of these officers Basically, they are soldiers with outstanding achievements who survived bloody battles. These people are hungry wolves.

A raging soldier will make a raging nest. A little white rabbit leading a group of wolves will turn the wolves into little white rabbits. But a hungry wolf leading a group of little white rabbits will definitely make the rabbits have the ability to fly in the air. The courage of an eagle

After Tian Dan's army left, Tian Fucheng only had 20,000 troops left. While maintaining pressure on Langya County, he also had to deal with Ding Wei in Guangping. At the same time, he also had to mobilize troops to raise grain and grass. To plunder, while the people of Langya were suffering from military disasters, the hatred against the Qi army was increasing day by day. Attacks on the Qi army that had fallen alone began to occur frequently.

On the seventh day after Tian Dan left, a black-clad guard, wearing clothes ripped off from the Qi army who died in the battle, lowered himself off the city wall with a rope and sneaked all the way to Wenping. Tian Fucheng only had two left. Ten thousand soldiers, and Langya County City has gone through bloody battles, and there are still 5,000 fighting soldiers in the city. In Wenping, Ding Wei has a fighting force of 6,000. There is no longer a huge gap in the strength of the two sides as before. Zheng Xiaoyang can still suppress it. Come on, if the bad temper I have received these days doesn't come out, I would be sorry for Tian Fucheng, who is wearing this ugly uniform of the Eastern Conquest Army. He has bullied me for a long time. It's time for me to change.

(I read the book reviews today. Some book friends said they hope Gao Yuan can fight a few losing battles. What I want to say is, I want it too, but so far, in all the battles Gao Yuan has fought, he has been at a disadvantage. The strategic form is like walking a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Therefore, he is absolutely unbeatable now, and his real opponent has not yet appeared. When Gao Yuan establishes the country, he begins his plan. The great cause of unification will be the real test for him when he starts to collide with the great powers. If Gao Yuan is defeated now, won't he have to start all over again?)
