Wuji guard Duan Yi and Anxi guard Xu Ang had never had a head-on confrontation with the Jin soldiers going south, so they were suddenly surrounded by Jin soldiers.
The Jin soldiers were coming fiercely, and they were ready to attack the city. This made them think that the Jin soldiers were very strong, so they did not dare to attack rashly. They only dared to guard the city tightly for fear of being breached.
It was not until Ma Weiying led his troops to fight over and defeated the Jin army that they realized that they had been bluffed. The Jin soldiers outside the city were simply paper tigers, and their bluff was intimidating and of no use at all.
The anger in their hearts.
Ma Weiying captured the Jin Army generals responsible for besieging the city and learned that they were all general managers or deputy general managers. Then he tortured them to extract confessions, and learned the Jin Army's strategic plan and current specific strategic direction from these useless people. .
So Ma Weiying held a meeting with Duan Yi, Xu Ang, and three instructors in Anxi, and formed a six-person team to discuss the next actions of the three-city coalition.
Ma Weiying advocated continuing to attack, uniting more cities, breaking through more sieges, and taking advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
"Alang said that in addition to defense, if we find an opportunity, we can go out of the city to attack the Jin Army's logistics and supplies, so as to reduce the main force of the Jin Army on the front line. So Alang gave us the right to do things cheaply. I think, You can make the most of it.”
Ma Weiying said: "The main force of the gold thieves has gone south. They need to rely on the route from north to south to transport food. Now that we have escaped, why not continue to the east to join the defenders of other cities, expand our military strength, and defeat the gold thieves in one fell swoop. If the grain transport route is cut off, will he be doomed?"
The other five people looked at Ma Weiying and felt that Ma Weiying's idea was quite bold, but also really tempting.
Although Su Yonglin gave them the right to do things expediently, generally speaking, as long as the city was not lost, they would have made a meritorious service. No one would punish them if they did not go out to fight, and the credit would still be the same.
But now, a great strategic opportunity lies before us. Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't seize it?
If we seize this opportunity, we can make meritorious deeds on the one hand, and on the other hand, we can also provide help to the main force of the Liberation Army in Shandong and help them defeat the main force of the Jin Army as much as possible. Wouldn't this be great?
The six-person group discussed for a while and settled on a rough strategy, which was to retain basic city defense forces in each city, then gather an army to attack eastward, liberate the remaining cities, and expand their strength in a snowballing manner.
As for whether they will be attacked by the remaining troops of the Jin Army on the way, or whether they will encounter additional cavalry troops of the Jin Army, that is all unknown and is a great risk.
From then on, there is a flat plain to the east, and there are no dangers from mountains and rivers. If the infantry encounters cavalry, it will be really dangerous.
but……
"I know this is very dangerous, but a great opportunity is right in front of me. I have to fight for it once. I can't just watch Alang and the main force fight against tens of thousands of gold thieves' cavalry alone, so I will personally lead the troops and you will each defend the city. If I If you cannot accomplish your goal, you will definitely die in battle to thank the world."
Ma Weiying made up her mind to die and planned to fight with her own life.
I have to say, he is a warrior.
So he led his army to Puyin County, preparing to liberate the defenders of Puyin County, continue to expand his strength, and continue to the west.
As a result, I met Su Jue here.
Su Jue had already led his troops to break the siege of Puyin County. Thousands of Jin soldiers who were besieging the city were killed in small numbers, and the rest were all captured. The Liberation Army won a complete victory.
"Ma Weiying? Are you here too?"
Su Jue was overjoyed and hugged the confused Ma Weiying when they met.
"You are the Zhending Guard. The fact that you are here means that...Wuji and Anxi are also safe, right? Have you brought them all here?"
Ma Weiying looked at her old boss Su Jue, who she had worked with before, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She didn't know how he knew what he had done.
After a while, Ma Weiying finally figured out what was going on.
Su Yonglin's affairs in Jinan have been known to the Jin Army, so the main force of the Jin Army went south and headed directly towards Jinan. This is the background.
Against this background, the Jin army was unable to concentrate on conquering one city after another due to the short time and the impatience of Emperor Wan Yanliang, so they could only choose to encircle them to eliminate the threat to these cities.
However, due to the lack of troops, they could only use the bluff of signing troops and even civilians to guard the city. The main force had to follow Wanyan Liang south to find Su Yonglin for a decisive battle.
After Su Yonglin learned about it, he felt that the time for a strategic counterattack had come, so he decided to make a bait to attract the main force of the Jin army to continue southward, and took the opportunity to send Sunzi Yi and Su Jue to go north by boat, land near the first-line defensive city of Yanyun in Hebei, and defeat The Jin army defenders outside the city joined the troops inside the city.
In this way, all the troops in the city were liberated one after another, and they were combined into a relatively powerful army. They cut off the logistics and food transportation routes of the Jin Army and destroyed their logistics, thereby helping the main force of the Jinan Liberation Army.
Of course, if possible, they could also choose to directly counterattack Yanyun.
"Counterattack Yanyun? Is this what Alang said?"
"Of course, the main force that the gold thieves can use has gone to Jinan. Yanyun has no main force that can fight. If we have enough troops, why not counterattack back in one go? In this way, when Wan Yanliang learns that Yanyun has fallen, even if there are still Food reserves, does the army still have the will to fight?"
Su Jue clenched his fists: "Right now we have no way to worry about whether Alang can withstand the main attack of the golden thief. We must do what we can. From Puyin to the east, we have gathered the strength of five cities strength.
By joining forces with you, we can gather almost 20,000 troops to go north. If given time, we can mobilize the captured troops and gather 30,000 troops, it is not impossible. Moreover, there will be enough food and some cavalry can be used. Wouldn't it be wonderful? "
Su Jue's boldness made Ma Weiying feel that she was a little timid.
The most I thought about was cutting off the Jin Army's logistics route, but Ma Weiying was already thinking about counterattacking Yan Yun... Wait a minute!
In this way, doesn’t it mean that...
"General, does this mean that the Golden Thief's grain transportation has been cut off by us?"
Su Jue smiled and nodded.
"Yes, we have figured out the Golden Thief's grain transportation route. There are three routes in total, and one of them goes south from your side. Have you noticed?"
"I noticed it. I interrogated the prisoners carefully and found out that the gold thieves had some grain stored in Lingshou. So I led the troops to capture Lingshou, destroyed a batch and captured another batch of existence. I was lucky along the way. The food supply has been cut off by me."
"here you go!"
Su Jue said overjoyed: "There are two more routes. One starts from Guixin and the other starts from Baoding. They pass through Gaoyang and Renqiu respectively and go south to Suning. They merge here in Suning and then split into two routes further south. , because they failed to capture Boye after all... By the way, Boye guard Hu Yue died in the battle, I remember you knew Hu Yue."
Ma Weiying was stunned.
"Hu Yue is dead?"
"Well, Boye's deputy general Zhang Changli reported that Hu Yue was injured by the Golden Thief Iron Artillery and bled to death. Boye's defenders also suffered heavy losses. More than half of the main force was injured and more than a thousand militiamen died in the battle. Only then could they barely hold on. Boye, the battle was very difficult."
Ma Weiying was silent for a while.
"Hu Yue and I are fellow villagers, and we agreed that if we win the war after the war, we must go to the Great Wall to see it..."
"Condolences."
Su Jue patted Ma Weiying on the shoulder: "Now is not the time to be sad. You have to be sad after the victory. Now focus all your energy on military affairs. Do you understand?"
Ma Weiying sniffed and forced to hold back the sadness in her heart.
"clear!"
"Okay, now we have captured Suning, wiped out more than a thousand Suning defenders, and destroyed a grain transportation team. Now Deputy Commander Sun has led his troops north to prepare to attack Gaoyang and Renqiu. He and I Act separately and prepare to gather armies from other cities.
Now that you are here, it will be much easier. Gather the army immediately and let's go north together. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the bandit army, we can go north to counterattack in one go. Once we capture Waqiao Pass and Yijin Pass, we can directly threaten the Yanyun Golden Thief! "
Su Jue's eyes were full of fighting flames, and the fighting will in his whole body had been ignited.
Ma Weiying took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
His will to fight was also ignited.
