Liu Jingxuan frowned: "You mean, following the enemy's rear guard, not rushing to attack, but just following? Looking for an opportunity to hit him?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This requires your fine cavalry. Fight quickly and retreat quickly. It doesn't matter if you just follow without fighting. When you encounter a plain area where the enemy has no ambush, use the advantage of the cavalry to sweep across and then retreat quickly. If the enemy When the enemy's army attacked, they held on to the dangerous points and exhausted their energy. The enemy's army now plus the threatening people, captured nearly 200,000 people. They did not bring much supplies along the way. Although Guangling was captured, But the food storage area in Jiangbei is in Yuzhou, so they can't afford to hold them back. If they chase us all the way, they will eventually turn around and fight, and I hope this battle will be held in Yuzhou! "
Liu Yi softly said "Oh": "Why do you want to go to Yuzhou to fight? Is there anything special?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "The military rations of the six counties in the north of the Yangtze River, including the original Beiqingzhou, were stored in Dacang, Yuzhou, so that they could go to Qilu by sea. After all, Daxian Mountain was dangerous and difficult to travel. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Houyan invaded south, Especially when Nanyan established the country in the land of Qilu, Pengcheng became the front line, so the grain and grass withdrawn from the Central Plains and Pengcheng were mostly stored in Yuzhou. This time the Tianshi Road raided the north of the Yangtze River, the first purpose must be to capture Pengcheng and Xiapi, Connected with Nanyan, it will be convenient for both advance and retreat."
Liu Yi smiled and said: "However, as long as we bite and keep following, and Pengcheng is now guarded by Sun Wuzhong's legions, it is impossible for them to capture Pengcheng under such circumstances, so they will settle for the next best thing. Marching towards Yuzhou, on the one hand, we can seize the grain and grass in Dakang; on the other hand, this place is close to the sea, and we can board the ship and evacuate at any time, regardless of whether we can successfully seize the grain."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "So, our purpose is to bite them and wear them down. Our army's advantage lies in its sharp armored soldiers, who are not afraid of frontal combat, and its elite cavalry, which can attack the enemy's rearguard at any time. The Tianshi There are a large number of threatening people this time, so the speed must not be fast. Mixing of soldiers and civilians has always been a taboo for military strategists. If the whole army goes out to fight, we will stand firm and send elite cavalry to harass them all the way and create chaos among their people. Sun En Maybe we can control our own troops, but it is impossible to establish iron-like military discipline among these newly attached or newly captured people. On their way to Yuzhou, we are here to give these demon thieves, Teach them a military lesson that they will never forget!"
Liu Yi smiled and said: "If we fight like this, we will definitely be able to severely damage the main force of the demon thieves. It won't matter if they fight or not. In the end, the soldiers will disperse. The threatened people will flee on their own, and the main force of the demon thieves will also be killed." It will eat away at us slowly along the way!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "If Sun En or Xu Daofu were smart enough, they would abandon the threatening people behind and speed up the evacuation towards Yuzhou. If it were Xu Daofu, they would quickly evacuate. Evacuate and board the ship, but I guess Sun En will not be able to swallow this breath. Before boarding the ship, he will probably concentrate his forces to fight us for a decisive battle. At that time, we will truly annihilate the main force of the monster thieves, and everyone will make contributions and save the lives of the people who died. It’s time for revenge with my brothers.”
Liu Jingxuan laughed and stretched out his hand: "Okay, then I'll be waiting for this decisive battle!"
Liu Yi also stepped forward and put his hand on the back of Liu Jingxuan's hand: "Just like when we participated in the qualifying competition of the Tiger Army, three Jingkou guys, get rich and powerful together!"
Liu Yu smiled and stepped forward and put his hands on the backs of their hands: "Let's gain wealth together!"
Fifteen days later, Jiangbei, Donghai County, Yuzhou.
This large overseas island, known today as Lianyungang, is across the sea from a large plain on the river bank. The trees on the island are lush and green, and you can clearly see a huge building even though it is more than ten miles away from the sea. The warehouse was built on the mountainside of Huaguo Mountain, almost at the same level as the Yuzhou City Wall at the foot of the mountain. According to legend, at the end of the Chu-Han conflict, Qi King Tian Heng fled here, and finally refused to become Liu Bang's subordinate. He committed suicide, and those who committed suicide together with him were the famous five hundred dead men, which made this island city even more tragic.
But now, at a glance, outside the barn, people are coming and going, carrying bunches of white-flowered rice into or out of the barn, and on the threshing floor outside the barn, grain and grass are piled high as high as a mountain. When the general saw this scene, his eyes would light up.
Sun En was looking at this huge granary, but his eyes were not shining, but angry, because in his military camp, which stretches for more than 20 miles and is built along the sea, looking eastward, you can I saw the large granary on Yuzhou Island, but looking to the west, I saw the strict Beifu Military Camp. It was only five miles away, facing each other across a plain, with deep trenches and high forts, and was heavily guarded. The soldiers of the Beifu Army, with fine armor and shining spears reaching into the sky, accompanied by the cavalry kept galloping across the front of the camp, triggering bursts of cheers that shocked the Tianshi Dao camp into silence.
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth tightly, looked at Sun En, and said with cupped hands: "Brother, don't hesitate. While the 60,000-strong army is still there, let's all get on the boat. Liu Yu is haunted all the way like a ghost." He is here just to fight us, we must not be fooled by him!"
Sun En bit his lip: "Ghost, ghost, Liu Yu is a ghost! He is an evil ghost sent by God to torture us! But, should we just forget it? From Guangling to here, we can't fight or walk!" The cavalrymen who were given to him before and after the night attack injured nearly 20,000 soldiers. The more than 100,000 civilians who were finally robbed were all gone. Now look at us. The camp is full of wounded soldiers and morale is low. We have landed ashore. How much of the soaring morale that you have gained from winning consecutive battles is left? Are you willing to leave like this in despair?"
Lu Xun sighed and looked back at the camp. Under the large shacks, there were many injured people lying groaning and suffering from incomplete limbs. Many of them didn't even have wounds. The wounds had already been damaged by the hot weather in May. The festering maggots made people unbearable to look at. Lu Xun gritted his teeth and said: "The way it is now, there are too many wounded soldiers, which seriously affects morale. I'm afraid there is little chance of winning if we fight again. Brother, a good coach must know how to advance and retreat, and be decisive. , you can’t be impulsive and reckless!”
Sun En suddenly stamped his foot and said sternly: "Liu Yu, this bitch, has not dared to fight us openly all the way. He has returned to the army several times to fight, but he has been unable to leave the camp like this. I am not willing to accept it. This time, I want to fight a good battle here and let the fleet pick up at the seaside. It’s really unfavorable. At worst, we get on the ship and leave! Anyway, we almost got nothing this time. If I don’t fight him in the end, I will never accept it in my life! "
