By noon, the fog gradually dissipated.
The noise from all sides disappeared, and the Yan army gradually revealed its true colors in Lushan.
A group of soldiers lined up one hundred and fifty steps away, with their big shields raised and their spears standing upright, like a huge hedgehog lying on the snow.
"The Yan people used tricks to deceive me and used all possible means to prove that their situation was not good." Chang Wei was quick-thinking and could often deduce the enemy's intentions from the enemy's subtle details.
Cui Hong cupped his hands and said, "Murong Jun has been going south for nearly three months. He has been blocked one after another. The old soldiers are exhausted. If my nephew's prediction is correct, there will be good news within ten days."
For a monarch to leave the capital for three months is a very risky matter.
The weather is getting colder and colder, which is extremely unfavorable for siege, and logistical supplies are even more troublesome.
"No matter how strong the wind is, I will remain unmoved!" Li Yue said a famous saying when he opened his mouth.
Defending Gaocheng restrained the Yan army from sweeping across Jidong.
He even defended half of Jizhou and Qingzhou behind him.
In this era, the Yellow River did not change its course. It ran from Puyang to the northeast through the south of the Bohai Sea and merged into the sea. Behind Bohai County, across the Yellow River, was Qingzhou.
Under the city, the soldiers of the Yan army advanced more than fifty steps, just at a distance where bows and arrows could reach but could not shoot accurately.
Under the howling cold wind, the power of the bow and arrow was greatly reduced.
Dozens of soldiers of the Yan Army stepped forward and shouted at the city wall: "General Fu Bi, please ask Governor Li to speak!"
The three auxiliaries of Yan State have become more and more famous in the past two years, namely General Murong Ke, General Murong Ping, General Yang Yu.
General Fubi, of course, is talking about Murong Ping.
Li Yue didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. After all, he was also the lord of a state. Ran Wei wanted to beg the Governor of the East for a holiday, and Murong Ping had no right to talk to him.
If someone wanted to speak, it should be Murong Jun.
"A nameless person is insignificant!" the soldiers shouted at the city.
It brought joy in the city.
The Yan army below the city was silent for a while. After a while, more than a dozen soldiers came forward and said, "Prime Minister, I would like to ask Governor Li to speak!"
The Prime Minister is naturally Feng Yi.
Li Yue was not even interested in talking to him, and he had no bottom line in his behavior to get an agreement. For the sake of fellow villagers, others came out to speak single-handedly, but he took the opportunity to kidnap him. This was too disgraceful.
The soldier immediately shouted: "Treacherous, shameless villain, how dare you talk here?"
The Yan army below the city was silent again.
And the city became more and more jubilant, laughing, pointing at Yan Jun and yelling curses, whatever the hell.
Naturally, the dialogue between the two parties could not continue.
"Murong Jun took the initiative to come to us for discussion. There must be something going on at the rear." Li Yue was full of confidence. With Yan Jun's arrogance, he would definitely not have taken the initiative to ask for a talk if something had not happened.
Below, Yan Jun retreated in despair.
In the next few days, Gaocheng was quiet. The Yan army did not attack. Even the catapult was too lazy to move. Li Yue did not take the initiative to attack. Hei Yunlang disappeared and appeared behind the Yan army.
And the weather is getting colder day by day.
There was ice everywhere on the city tower, and a layer of ice was attached to the city wall.
The soldiers hugged each other to keep warm.
Li Yue ordered the demolition of abandoned houses and government offices in the city, and used wood to burn fires to keep the soldiers warm.
Gaocheng County Magistrate Tian Cheng complained a lot about this and complained a few words in private. Li Yue asked Chang Wei to appease him.
If the city is defended, Yanzhou will make up for it in the future.
The Heiyun Army would rather demolish the government offices than move the people's houses. The people in the city were greatly grateful and took the initiative to cut down dead trees in the city and pick up dead grass to supply the Heiyun Army.
The feedback brought about by military discipline is mutual. When soldiers are supported and respected by the people, they will abide by military discipline more, and the people will trust the Heiyun Army more.
There was silence for four days. On the fifth day, a Yan cavalry galloped from the northwest corner and threw letters into the city. Then thousands of Yan army infantry behind them shouted: "Duan Gong is leading tens of thousands of troops to go south." , are attacking Chenliu, you and the others will be the lost dogs!"
Duan Gong is the strongest branch of the Duan family in Xianbei. Shi Hu attacked Jicheng because of Duan Liao, Duan Gong's uncle. Duan Liao's kingdom was destroyed and he lived in the grasslands. Miyun Mountain surrendered. He first pretended to surrender to Shi Hu and then sent people to surrender. Murong Huang provoked the battle at Miyun Mountain.
Murong Ke defeated Ma Qiu's 30,000 army with eight thousand fine cavalry.
Duan Liao then surrendered to the Murong clan. Within two years, he abandoned the Murong clan and surrendered to Shi Hu. He jumped repeatedly. Shi Hu ignored the blame and settled his tribe in Lingzhi (now Qian'an City, Hebei Province).
Now that the world is in chaos, they have jumped out again.
"This time it must be Murong Ke's trick again." Wei Shan said with a big tongue.
"Send an order to the whole army. This is a trick of the Yan thieves. There is Xu Cheng's Liyang camp in the north of Chenliu, and there are southern troops guarding the surrounding areas. If the Duan family comes, they will die without a burial place." Li Yue said loudly.
Even if it was true that Duan Gong went south, it would not be an easy task to defeat Chen Liu.
There is Xu Cheng in Liyang, Cui Jin, Chen Duan and others in Chenliu. If Duanggong is not destroyed, there should be no big problem in guarding Chenliu.
The soldiers were emotionally stable and didn't take it seriously.
At this time, there was a loud noise from the northwest.
Li Yue thought that Hei Yunlang was repeating his old tricks to harass the Yan army.
But the sound was like thunder, getting louder and louder. A group of 5,000 cavalrymen rushed into the Yan army's camp from the northwest. In an instant, the Yan army overturned their horses and fled in all directions.
Before the Yan army could support other camps, they broke out of the camp and went straight to Gaocheng.
The first general, with a gray beard and hair, held a large black bow in his hand, and with a long arrow in his hand, he shot the Yan army in the face with lightning.
The hundreds of people following behind also bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot them behind them. Forty or fifty of the pursuing Yan army fell immediately, and the rest did not dare to move.
The ice and snow splashed under the hooves of the veteran's horse, looking majestic.
However, two Yan army infantry and cavalry rushed from the left and right wings.
"This must be Bohai Jia Jian!" Chang Wei's eyes lit up.
To be able to serve as the governor of the palace in Jie Zhao is definitely not an ordinary person, and his military strength must first be adequate.
"Wei Shan and Gao Yun, each lead an army to respond!" Li Yue quickly ordered.
For more than half a month, Gaocheng was besieged and Gao Yun was the only one able to break through the siege. If he could welcome Jia Jian back to the city, it would be like a slap in the face to the Yan army.
The city gate opened, and Wei Shan and Gao Yun led their troops to fight out.
They fought in a melee with the Yan army cavalry.
And Li Yue clearly felt that the Yan Army at this moment was very different from the Yan Army that had been more than 20 days ago. The morale was obviously low, and he did not even dare to collide with Wei Shan head-on.
First, the Yan army violently attacked Gaocheng for many days. Their morale was low and the soldiers were exhausted.
Secondly, Jia Jian came with a fierce attack and killed the Yan army by surprise.
The momentum of the Black Cloud Army rose sharply, and their axes and maces were thrown at the Yan Army crazily.
Wei Shan and Gao Yun even went down the mountain like fierce tigers, charging into the enemy formation and killing several people in a row.
The Yan army was frightened, their morale became lower and lower, and even their pace slowed down a lot.
"Haha, happy!" Jia Jian laughed and rode into the city.
More and more Yan troops swarmed outside the city, but it was too late. Wei Shan and Gao Yun fought and retreated, returning to the city.
"Jia Jian, the last general, pays homage to the governor!" Jia Jian has a purple face, a voice like a bell, piercing eyes, an extremely strong body, and both arms are full of powerful muscles. He is a typical Yanzhao man.
Li Yue admired in his heart: "General Jia broke through the Yan army's camp without courtesy and severely damaged the morale of the Yan army!"
Below the city, the Yan army launched another siege, but Li Yue was not worried at all.
"If the governor had not resisted the Yan army for many days, how could we have achieved this victory?" Jia Jian's words immediately aroused the favor of the surrounding Heiyun army.
"The general is here, the Yan people will retreat soon!"
Although this camp-breaking battle did not cause many casualties, it was of great significance. It had exposed the Yan army's external strength and internal strength. If Murong Jun did not leave, he might not be able to leave.
"Here comes another good news."
"General, please speak!"
"Two groups of cavalry from your department attacked Hejian. The Yan army had difficulty in transporting food and grass, so its morale was low. If it were not for the supply from Nanpi City, the Yan army would have retreated long ago. However, it is difficult for Nanpi to supply 100,000 horses."
"Has Hejian County been breached?" Mi Jin and Qin Biao came to Li Yue's mind. There had been no news for so many days, so it turned out that they had gone to Hejian.
The turning point of this war is here.
