Although Li Zhang didn't want to admit it, facts speak louder than words. Both Chen Si and Wu Kang had seen through the fatal weakness of "blitz warfare". As the two best generals in Beidi, their military talents were beyond doubt.
Chen Si defended the northern line of Ezhou, while Wu Kang led the Eagle Brigade to maneuver within Ezhou.
If the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade is the vanguard, the Eagle Brigade will directly intercept. If the main force goes into battle, the Eagle Brigade will take a detour and sneak attack the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade in the rear.
No matter what, Wu Kang was bound to injure the expeditionary brigade and lose the ability of the entire army to fight quickly.
According to Li Zhang's thinking, the only solution is to send the four thousand light cavalry to actively attack the Eagle Brigade. At the same time, the main force goes straight to the Chensi Defense Line, while the Expeditionary Brigade detours from the west and attacks the flanks of the Chensi Defense Line. .
After the Eagle Brigade defeated its own light cavalry force, the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade was already far behind. Wu Kang's only way was to rush to the aid of Chen Si. The two forces merged and fought against Li Zhang's main force. The two sides were bound to fall into a stalemate. . At this time, the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade stormed from the east front and defeated the enemy camp in one fell swoop!
Hearing Li Zhang's strategy, Xu Mo's eyes lit up: "As expected of the prince, he can come up with countermeasures so quickly!"
Li Zhang raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, I am just learning now and selling it now. I have to say that Marquis Qin taught me well. When I first came to Beixi County, I suffered a lot of losses in front of Chen Si. , now that we are fighting again, this prince will definitely avenge his previous disgrace!"
After formulating the overall strategic plan, the army did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, it continued to attack the intelligence station. A large number of scouts and messengers, with the help of Jin Yiwei, moved back and forth in Ezhou to find out the Eagle Brigade and Chen Si's army. accurate trends.
At the same time, the nearest material transfer point has been built at the junction of Zhuozhou and Ezhou.
The strongholds will no longer go deep, otherwise the cost of protecting the strongholds and supply lines will be greatly increased in the face of enemy cavalry maneuvers.
Supplies were continuously transported to the Ezhou boundary, and then transported to the army in batches relying on horses.
Thousands of horses run back and forth, just to continuously replenish supplies to the frontline army, so that whether it is the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade or the main force, the supplies are still extremely abundant. Even if the logistics line is blocked by the enemy, they can still fight alone. One month!
No one expected that a cavalry force composed of two thousand people rushed over from the eastern front.
This cavalry belongs to the Gaoshan Kingdom.
It was only half a month ago that the news of Qin Feng's winter war reached Gaoshan Kingdom. The king of Gaoshan Kingdom immediately ordered to provide military support to Qin Feng.
After all, defeating Beidi would be a huge benefit to the Gaoshan Kingdom. At least in the future, they would no longer have to be oppressed by Beidi.
This cavalry force of the Gaoshan Kingdom can be regarded as the most elite and most powerful army in the Gaoshan Kingdom. After all, the two thousand cavalry of this small country can be considered as all-out, and it can compete with big countries like Daliang and Beidi. , naturally incomparable.
These two thousand cavalrymen prepared their own dry food and ran all the way east.
Since the center of gravity of Beidi was all in Ezhou, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, it was difficult to mobilize troops and horses. There were few people who could stop the Gaoshan cavalry.
By coincidence, Yuezhao Kingdom, located on the eastern front of Beidi, also sent 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry across the border into Beidi and began to advance.
Yuezhao Kingdom and Beidi are in an alliance, so when the army enters the country, the journey is smooth and unobstructed. The guard of the city they pass by even goes out of the city to greet Yuezhao Kingdom's army in person.
As a result, these unsuspecting Beidi soldiers were suddenly attacked by the Yuezhao Kingdom's army, causing heavy casualties.
Until the city was broken and rivers of blood flowed, the Beidi defenders couldn't believe that Yuezhao Kingdom would take advantage of the situation to rob them.
As everyone knows, Yuezhao Kingdom has long wanted to join Daliang, but because it is too far from Daliang and too close to Beidi, and under the military pressure from Beidi, Yuezhao Kingdom has not dared to say anything. Now that it is known that Qin Feng's army has reached Ezhou, it is advancing with great success. Yuezhao Kingdom will naturally seize this opportunity, mobilize urgently, form an army, and come to help.
The wall collapsed and everyone pushed. Except for the main battlefield in Ezhou and the Fanbang north of Beidi, the entire Beidi third front was on fire and was attacked by armies from various countries.
The original plan to dispatch supplies from the east and west fronts to support Ezhou was aborted because of the sudden invasion of Gaoshan and Yuezhao.
When Qin Feng relied on Qiya to go out of the city to inquire about news and learned that Beidi's east, west, and south lines were all under siege, his tense and tense mood was immediately relieved.
Of course, the happiest thing was Xu Mo's decision to retreat immediately and preserve the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary brigade.
According to Qiya, the news that the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade was repulsed by the Eagle Brigade has spread throughout the royal capital, which is extremely exciting for everyone.
Logically speaking, Qin Feng would definitely be worried, but the result was exactly the opposite.
Qiya couldn't help it anymore and asked softly: "Qin Hou, your most elite army has been repelled, why are you still laughing?"
Instead of restraining himself, Qin Feng smiled even more happily: "This is called strategic retreat, you don't understand!"
"Xu Mo is worthy of being our top general in Beixi County. This strategic quality is enough for us to launch an army."
"The situation has changed again, and the scale of victory is once again tilted towards us. However, the sudden participation of Gaoshan Country and Yuezhao Country in the war caught me by surprise."
Hearing the name "Yuezhao Kingdom", Qiya's mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
She curled her lips and said angrily: "Forget it about Gaoshan Country. After all, Gaoshan Country has always been close to you. Now there is nothing wrong with military assistance."
"It's just that Yuezhao Kingdom turned against the enemy and took advantage of the situation. It's really shameful!"
Qin Feng stood at the gate of the county government office with his hands behind his back and said in a good mood: "Does Yuezhao State sincerely have good relations with Beidi, or is it forced to do nothing? Don't you know clearly?"
"Yuezhao Kingdom was originally a rich, beautiful and civilized country. However, over the past hundred years, it has been attacked by Beidi several times. As a result, the mountains and rivers were broken, and countless families were ruined. Now, Yuezhao Kingdom has turned against the enemy, just to avenge the feud."
“There are only two ways to get along between countries, either sincerity for sincerity, or go all out and eradicate the roots.”
"If not, you have to be mentally prepared like today."
Qiya doesn't have such a long-term vision. Anyway, she can no longer return to Beidi. She can only be entrusted to Beixi County for the rest of her life.
But she still has a hidden worry, that is Jing Ci.
"Qin Hou, can I go see the princess?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was happy. He had this plan and immediately nodded: "Go and persuade her."
