Chapter 504 Bloody Yanzhou (4)
Chen Yue and the others stared at the place where You Nu pointed out just now. It was only a hundred miles away from the Qilian Mountains. They didn't expect the Jin reinforcements to arrive so close without any sound.
If the Jin cavalry galloped with all their strength, they could reach the battlefield in one day.
"They lured me to war on all fronts. Even the direction of Meigu was a bait thrown by them. They tried to draw in our army's strength, and then completely defeated us as soon as reinforcements arrived. The Jin people really played a big game."
Chen Yue's hands behind his back were clenched into fists.
The moment the crossbowman reported the military situation, Chenyue could see the Jin man's intention.
Lang Yi spoke slowly: "According to the speed of the cavalry march, if we want to ensure that the soldiers reach the battlefield with sufficient physical strength to fight, it is expected that the Jin soldiers will arrive in the Qilian Mountains at the earliest tomorrow morning and at the latest tomorrow afternoon."
"If we want to avoid being defeated by the Jin people, we can only repel Wan Yanliang's army and then strengthen the camp to hold on." Chen Yue's voice was calm, but both of them could hear the danger hidden in his words.
Xin Ji pursed his lips: "Now most of the military forces have been put into battle, and they will definitely not be able to withdraw for a while."
Silence fell in the tent, and the three of them remained silent.
"There is only one way to go!" Lang Yi suddenly said: "Send troops in advance to intercept the reinforcements!"
The corners of Chen Yue and Xin Ji's mouths trembled slightly. The Zuo Cavalry Army, Bai Xue Guards, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Red Flame Army, etc. had all started fighting against the Jin soldiers. Only one of the Right Cavalry Army was left to guard the camp.
and thousands of infantry.
What can we do to stop tens of thousands of Jin reinforcements?
Lang Yi pointed to a certain place on the map: "This! This is the best place to stop the enemy!"
The place Lang Yi pointed to was a mountain pass named Xinchuankou.
The terrain of Xinchuankou is like a gourd shape, with the south side tightening and the north side a flat river. It is the only place where the Jin reinforcements must pass through on their march.
Xinchuankou is only twenty or thirty miles away from the battlefield in the Qilian Mountains, so the Jin reinforcements must not have reached here yet. If the Jin people had passed Xinchuankou, they could directly enter the battlefield, and there would be no need for a few people to discuss countermeasures here.
The place Lang Yi found to block the enemy was indeed dangerous, but Chen Yue was hesitant at this moment. He wanted to rush to Xinchuankou as quickly as possible and needed cavalry, but there were only less than half of the right cavalry left in the camp, less than one
Thousands of people.
Using such a small number of people to stop tens of thousands of golden soldiers is no different than sending someone to death.
Xin Ji was the first to stand up: "I agree with the old general! The only way to prevent the enemy from coming for reinforcements is to get the army out of danger!"
Xin Ji naturally knew what Chen Yue was worried about. The general from Liaodong clasped his fists and shouted angrily: "Master Hou! Please allow me to lead a cavalry to death! I will definitely buy enough time for the army!"
Chenyue's heart trembled.
"Hahaha!" Lang Yi looked up to the sky and laughed: "General Xin, in addition to the Marquis' personal guards, there are only 8,000 soldiers of my right cavalry in the camp. When will my right cavalry die and it will be someone else's turn to lead the troops?
?”
There was a sense of determination in Lang Yi's laughter.
Xin Ji was stunned for a moment, and the tip of his nose felt sore without any warning.
Lang Yi shook off his robe, bowed to Chenyue, and said calmly: "The last general Lang Yi, the former commander of the Youzhou Cavalry Army and the current commander of the Beiliang Right Cavalry Army, asks the Marquis to fight!"
Before Chen Yue could speak, Xin Ji immediately blushed and said, "Old General! On the land of Liaodong, I, General Liaodong, will be the first to die!"
"Fart! Wherever my Beiliang soldiers point, horseshoes are everywhere in my Beiliang territory. There is no such thing as Liaoning Beiliang! This battle has been decided, you stinky boy, don't fight!"
"The old general has an old injury on his leg! It is really inconvenient to fight on horseback. Besides, you are over fifty years old. I am in my prime, so I should be left alone due to both emotion and reason!"
"I have been in the army for decades! How can I care about such an injury? What's wrong with me, I can still draw a strong bow and ride a strong horse! If you try to argue with me, I'll beat you up!"
"I'll beat you too!"
"Damn it, if you say anything again I'll really beat you up!"
…
The two generals, one old and the other middle, were fighting in the commander's tent with faces red.
"Okay, stop arguing." Chenyue waved his hand to stop the argument between the two. He looked at the two people with excited expressions and said, "You stay at the camp, I'll go!"
"Master Chenhou!" Lang Yi suddenly widened his eyes and almost called Chenyue by name, shouting loudly: "The frontline still needs Masterhou to find a way to retreat from the enemy, but I don't have the ability to coordinate the entire army! Besides! I
If the Beiliang cavalry has to rely on the Marquis to die in order to survive, then what hope does it have? We Beiliang can't afford to lose that person!"
"If the Marquis wants to lead his troops to Xinchuankou today, he will have to step over my corpse, Xin Ji!"
.
"Yes! There is also my Lang Yi's!"
The two people who were arguing just now are now on the same front again, and they disagree with Chen Yue leading the attack.
Chen Yue tried hard to talk, but the two of them refused to give in. It was useless to frighten them with military orders.
"Alas." Chenyue sighed and sat down on the chair dejectedly. He knew that it was impossible for these two people to let him lead the troops today.
Seeing Chen Yue sit down, Lang Yi patted Xin Ji's shoulder: "General Xin, you come with me. There are thousands of infantry in the camp, so I'll leave it to you! My right cavalry army has been defeated."
Come on, you will be able to guard Xinchuankou when the time comes! How about that?"
Xin Ji's expression changed, and he was about to argue, but Lang Yi's words finally blocked his mouth:
"I have watched the officers and soldiers of my right cavalry grow up. They have fought through wind and rain from Beiliang to Liaodong. Let me accompany them on this last journey."
The old man's eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and reluctance.
"Old General." Xin Ji stopped arguing and just bowed to Lang Yi's hands respectfully: "Please accept my bow!"
The two finally reached an agreement and both turned their attention to Chen Yue, whose eyes continued to wander.
Lang Yi, Xin Ji, and any soldier of the Northern Liang Army were not willing to let them die.
"Master Marquis, we can't be kind to women at this time. If we are too late, we will lose everything. By then, the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the battles in Beiliang and Liaodong will all be in vain." Lang Yi said with a hint of anxiety.
.
Chenyue's eyes were red, and he finally stood up, bending down slightly: "Two generals, Xinchuankou is counting on you!"
"Fight to the death!"
The two looked stern and shouted angrily in unison.
"Gather the soldiers and go!"
"promise!"
Seeing the two generals leaving, Chen Yue shouted: "Ben Hu!"
"exist!"
Ben Hu, who strode into the military camp, also had red eyes. He had been guarding the entrance of the camp and naturally heard the quarrels in the tent clearly.
Chenyue said personally: "Assemble all the troops, lead my war horses, and put up the commander's flag!"
"promise!"
Late at night, in the Beiliang Chinese Army camp, war drums were beating, and groups of cavalry roared out one after another.
