After the main force of the Jin army arrived in the plain, the vanguard army advanced to Yucheng, where they encountered the Guangfu Army's sentry cavalry. The two sides fought a battle, but neither could do anything to the other and each other retreated.
Although they failed to achieve victory, the discovery of the Liberation Army's sentry cavalry here is enough to show that the main force of the Jin Army is not far away from the main force of the Liberation Army.
This is also true. If you go further south from Yucheng and cross the Beiqing River, you can reach Licheng, the prefecture of Jinan. At this moment, Su Yonglin and the main field force of the Liberation Army are in Jinan.
When Wan Yanliang heard the news, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
The belated decisive battle can finally begin.
If the decisive battle is not fought, and if the main force of the Liberation Army continues to retreat south, he may really be preparing to retreat.
This battle really cannot go on. How can there be such a battle?
All the way south, I couldn't find any lone enemy in the wild. They were all holed up in the city and couldn't get out. Moreover, every city couldn't be easily taken down in a few days. However, his logistics were very tight. .
The logistics of moving a military group of hundreds of thousands of people south was too difficult.
If you can't take the city, there will be dangers everywhere in the rear. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
The only chance of victory lies in the decisive battle in the wild with the main force of the Liberation Army.
He went all the way south, overcoming thorns and thorns, and finally penetrated Hebei, and the main force of the Liberation Army was finally close at hand.
Wan Yanliang confided his worries to He Shi Lieliangbi with great joy.
"Fortunately, the traitor army is in Jinan. Fortunately, the traitor army was found. Otherwise, this battle would really not be possible."
Looking at the expression on the emperor's face, Heshi Lieliangbi realized that the Roaring Emperor might not be as stubborn as he showed. Maybe he was quite delicate and weak in his heart. In order to cover up his weakness, he just Turned himself into the Roaring Emperor.
Only under special circumstances would he let his true nature shine through.
But it is a pity that Heshi Lieliangbi does not think there is anything good about the fact that the bandit army is in Jinan.
The goal of the Jin Army going south is very clear. Once this action trajectory is known to the Liberation Army, it is easy to judge that the Jin Army knows that the main force of the Liberation Army is in Jinan. Despite this, the main force of the Liberation Army has not retreated, and is in Jinan. Wait for them.
What does this mean?
This shows that the Liberation Army is ready to face the Jin Army.
The main force of the Liberation Army, which successively defeated Wanyan Alin and Yelu Yuanyi, was by no means a weakling.
Even a field battle is probably not that simple, not to mention that the main force of the Liberation Army does not have to fight in the field. What if it is still necessary to clear the fields and defend the city?
It will drag the main force of the Jin Army to death...
When Wanyan Liang went south from the plain to attack Yucheng, he received a letter from Su Yonglin, the general of the Liberation Army.
The letter said that Su Yonglin himself was waiting for Wan Yanliang in Licheng and that he would not leave. He would fight Wan Yanliang here to the death.
It has been more than ten years since Wanyan Liang stole the identity of the Lord of the Central Plains as a barbarian. It has also been decades since the Wanyan royal family became the monarch of China as a barbarian. Now it is time to return the identity of the Chinese monarch to Han Chinese.
Let's fight here, betting on our identity as the monarch of China.
The winner becomes the monarch of China and is called me in the south.
The loser will die without a burial place and become the laughing stock of the world.
Wan Yanliang, do you dare?
After reading this autographed letter from Su Yonglin, Wan Yanliang became so angry that he tore the letter into pieces, then pushed Su Yonglin's envoy out and beheaded him to vent his anger.
"Arrogant traitor, how dare you be the monarch of China! Arrogant! Arrogant! Arrogant! He is wishful thinking! Wishful thinking! I am the monarch of China! Only then can I claim my title from the south! Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant!!! March! March! March!!! "
Wan Yanliang roared at the top of his lungs with red eyes, and the Jin Army's huge military group of about 300,000 people began to advance.
Yucheng has been transformed into a very tough city by the Liberation Army. General Han Jinggui of the Liberation Army led 5,000 troops to garrison Yucheng. The city was heavily fortified and flags were flying, giving Wan Yanliang a headache just by looking at it.
"Damn it! The promised fight to the death! The promised fight to the death will result in the defense of the city!! Rats! Rats! If you have the ability, go out of the city and fight with me in the wild!!!"
Wan Yanliang roared angrily, but his anger was infinitely close to impotent rage. The Liberation Army would not leave the city to fight with them in the field, so what could they do?
Wan Yanliang did not want to sit still and wait for death, and was led by Su Yonglin, so he summoned his subordinates to discuss the possibility of letting the cavalry disperse to raid the hinterland of Shandong.
He believed that the main force of the Liberation Army was here, and the hinterland of Shandong should be empty. So using the advantage of the cavalry to sweep southward, there might be unexpected gains. No matter what, the rear of the Liberation Army could be destroyed, leaving them helpless.
But the answer he got was no.
Not to mention whether the Liberation Army in the south of Jinan also arranged a strong wall and clearing the country on the same scale as in Hebei. With the Jin Army's current reserves of grain and horses and beans, it may not be enough for the cavalry to disperse and sweep in all directions.
As the large army slowly advances, the war horses can still maintain relatively low energy consumption. If they spread out to conquer and fight, the amount of food the war horses need will greatly increase.
They have already marched all the way from Yanyun to Shandong. The journey is hundreds of miles and the logistics are difficult. They really should not continue to extend the front line.
Not to mention that their logistics are very fragile and may be attacked by the Liberation Army at any time. If there is any problem, the retreat of the entire army will be problematic.
The accompanying ministers did not support Wanyan Liang's plan at all, and there were even voices asking Wanyan Liang to withdraw his troops and return north immediately after conquering Jinan.
Wan Yanliang compromised on this and gave up his plan to send cavalry further into the hinterland of Shandong.
However, they also requested that a small number of cavalry troops be sent in two groups to attack Bozhou and Dezhou to search for and sweep local forts in order to obtain more food and money.
To be honest, Wan Yanliang went south and launched raids in more than a dozen states.
It was precisely because of those forts with insufficient defense capabilities that Wan Yanliang obtained extra food and money.
This part of the food supported Wanyan Liang's strategy of going south to a certain extent, preventing Wanyan Liang from encountering a food crisis prematurely.
The money was given to soldiers in exchange for the lower-level soldiers' support for Wan Yanliang.
This is also an important "mass base" that allows Wan Yanliang to ignore the decision-makers and insist on going south.
While Wan Yanliang was going south, he was giving money to the lower-level soldiers, which gave the lower-level soldiers a habit of thinking that "if they continue to go south, they will continue to get money." So they all supported Wan Yan Liang and responded to Wan Yan Liang's request for them to go all the way south. Tactics does not resist.
With this mass base, the decision-makers were unable to check and balance Wan Yanliang and could only follow his wishes and continue southward.
So Jin Jun followed Wan Yanliang step by step into the abyss.
