At the beginning of the tenth year of the coexistence of the East and West kings of the Yue Kingdom, Wei Tong announced to the world at the New Year's Banquet that he would send 500,000 troops to fight against the rebellion. The army appointed Zhu Feiling as the marshal, Wei Qian as the marshal, and Lin Haoming as the deputy marshal. Thaw and prepare to cross the Pingjiang River and head towards the royal capital.
It is said that there is an army of 500,000, but in fact the real army is only 300,000, but 300,000 is no longer a small number.
The 300,000-strong army was divided into three routes: north, middle and south. The central route army was led by Zhu Feiling, who broke the bandit army and led 120,000 troops. It was announced that the 200,000-strong army would take the royal capital directly. The North Route Army, led by Lin Haoming, led by 100,000 troops, and was claimed to be 150,000, attacked from the north, while the South Route Army, led by Wang Jiangman, led by 80,000 troops, also claimed to be 150,000, advanced from the south.
Dividing the troops into three groups can be said to be a risky move. If the opponent concentrates superior forces, it is absolutely possible to capture one of the groups before the other two groups have time to rescue them. But on the other hand, if this is not possible, then there is a high chance that Instead, they may be eaten up by the internal and external cooperation, so this battle is no longer a small fight, but a real battle to determine the outcome.
When Zhang Xiao knew about this, he immediately summoned a group of generals to face the enemy with Jiang Ziqi as the commander-in-chief. The war was about to break out.
With an army of 300,000, the Northern Route Army led by Lin Haoming was the first to set off. The army crossed Pingjiang and the first to attack Changning County. Poor Changning County has been destroyed several times since Lin Haoming came to this world. The originally prosperous and peaceful county on the edge of the Pingjiang River has been constantly tortured by war and has long since become desolate. It is easy to conquer here, but with a foothold The land also laid the foundation for subsequent battles.
After taking this place, Lin Haoming took Zhou Guangyi as the vanguard general and led 30,000 horses north to sweep away the three counties northwest of Pingjiang County. Then he joined the army and entered Changping County and captured Changping. A part of the main force went south to join the middle route army to attack the royal capital. Then they stopped the 100,000 border troops from Wu'an County who were guarding the border.
Of course, this was the original strategy. The battlefield was changing rapidly. If the 100,000 frontier troops came to the king's rescue early, then he would probably have to fight with these 100,000 frontier troops. Lin Haoming felt that this possibility was extremely high, and the Wei State expected to be divided. The Yue State is absolutely unwilling to see a unified Yue State next to it.
When the war began, Lin Haoming's North Route Army started smoothly. Zhou Guangyi regained the three counties northwest of Pingjiang without any hindrance, and followed the army directly into Changping County.
In Changping County, Lin Haoming's main force captured three more counties in succession, and his troops were directed towards the city of Changping County. At the same time, Zhou Guangyi's 30,000 troops, after inserting themselves into Changping County, also captured two counties in succession, and then rushed to the north. Pingancang, just at this moment, as Lin Haoming expected, Wu'an County's 100,000 border troops moved south early.
If there is food and grass from Ping'an Granary and Changping County City, then a hundred thousand frontier troops can at worst hold back Lin Haoming's 100,000 men. This leaves Zhu Feiling's main force short of assistance, so they must break through Changping County City as soon as possible. Safe warehouse is very important.
Faced with such a situation, Lin Haoming did not use Zhou Guangyi's Kung Fu to Ping'an Cang, because Ping'an Cang itself had eight thousand defenders and was a strong fortress. It was impossible for 30,000 people to easily defeat Ping'an. The fire that burned Ping'an back then Cang can be found but not sought. ….
It has been a month since the war began. Although spring has begun, the cold wind is still there, at least in the north of Vietnam.
Of course, the current North Army is mainly composed of northerners, so they are not afraid of such weather. However, the Ping'an warehouse is ahead and the border troops have moved south. He himself has no confidence that he can secure the Ping'an warehouse before then.
At this moment, someone suddenly reported Lin Haoming's order.
Seeing the order coming, Zhou Guangyi immediately asked someone to find Che Ying.
Since the two people surrendered, Zhang Xiao ransacked and exterminated the entire Zhou family. This made the two people have a deep hatred for Zhang Xiao. After all, it was Lin Zhaoying and others who had committed the crime in the first place, so they beat Zhang Xiao, and the two of them also took revenge.
Now that they saw Lin Haoming's letter, both of them were a little surprised, but they naturally believed in Lin Haoming's plan.
So, early the next morning, Zhou Guangyi immediately set up his battle array and began to attack Ping'an Cang. As a result, not only did he fail to capture Ping'an Cang on the first day, but he also failed to capture it for three consecutive days.
On the fourth day, halfway through the battle, suddenly the army not only stopped but began to flee south. At the same time, the Ping'an Cang defenders came out in full force and even took the initiative to attack and hold back the opponent's troops. Immediately the enemy army was defeated and fled towards the south, discarding their armor.
Not long after, the vanguard of the frontier army, 10,000 cavalry arrived, and then went south to pursue without thinking. However, what they did not expect was that when they pursued to Bailong Ridge, they encountered an enemy ambush. The entire army of 10,000 cavalry was annihilated, and Zhou Guangyi was directly captured alive. , Pioneer General Guan Ning.
When Guan Ning was escorted to the opponent's coach, he realized that the ambush was actually led by Lin Haoming, the local marshal of the North Route Army.
When Lin Haoming learned that the other side's frontier troops had gone south first, he knew that it was impossible to storm Ping'an Cang. He also wrote to Zhou Guangyi overnight, asking him to pretend to attack Ping'an Cang and make a posture of taking it immediately. If he could really take it. It's naturally best if we find that we can't take it. Then we can see the right moment, pretend to be defeated, and lead the opponent's reinforcements to Bailong Ridge.
After Lin Haoming issued the order, he immediately mobilized 20,000 troops to ambush in Bailong Ridge, and asked Zhou Guangyi to capture the opponent's pioneer Guan Ning alive.
The reason why Lin Haoming did this was because he knew that Guan Ning was originally a subordinate of Zhou Yuanan and had friendship with Zhou Guangyi and Che Ying. Since Zhou Yuanan was exterminated, he was also implicated and was demoted and transferred to the northwest frontier army. Despite his good abilities, he gradually became an important general of the border army in ten years.
Now, Guan Ning was tied up and brought to him. Lin Haoming looked at this thin but very capable man and smiled: "General Guan, are you willing to avenge Marshal Zhou?"
"Revenge?" Guan Ning looked at Lin Haoming and asked in surprise.
"General Zhou, did you tell General Guan how your uncle was killed?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Not yet, the general is planning to say it." Zhou Guangyi said immediately.
"In this case, why don't we release General Guan immediately? General Guan is a tiger general promoted by Marshal Zhou. If he knew the truth, he would naturally not let Gu Enyi go to waste." Lin Haoming said.
"Yes." Zhou Guangyi immediately helped Guan Ning untie the rope, and then talked with Che Ying about what happened back then.
Lin Haoming looked at the few of them and ordered others to start cleaning the battlefield. Whether he could win the Changping County City next depends on Guan Ning.
