Chapter 254: The Battle of the Vanguard

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

A hundred thousand troops led by Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, and Yue Fei fought fiercely for three days and three nights with the Jin army's vanguard, and finally, after great hardships, forced the Jin army back to the north of Mangshan Mountain.

However, our own side also suffered heavy losses, and the bitter cold outside the country made the army temporarily unable to move forward, so it had to set up camp here.

Then, the three of them rode horses and came to a hill. From a high position, they were observing the nearby terrain.

Bai Qi looked around, feeling sad gradually in his heart, and said to the two of them: "Back then, the Lord Protector was trapped here and was almost killed by Liang Zheng, the then Jin general. Fortunately, your Majesty made a strange move and defeated the Jin army.

, rescued Marshal Zhao."

Yue Fei nodded at the side and said sincerely in admiration: "Yes! What kind of person is General Zhao Zilong? He was the one who took the enemy general's head from the tens of thousands of troops, but he also suffered a big loss in the confrontation with the Jin army.

But since your Majesty's beginning, our Wei army has almost never been defeated in decisive battles with the Jin army. This is all due to your Majesty's military training skills, which makes the word "Wei soldier" powerful throughout the world."

Huo Qubing said boldly: "Sooner or later, we will invade the land of Jin for Your Majesty, and erect a monument in the capital of Jin to let everyone in the world know how powerful our Wei soldiers are!"

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Well said! We can't embarrass Your Majesty! The enemy's vanguard is currently stationed in the plain a hundred miles away from Mang Mountain. I suggest that we send out cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night!"

Yue Fei was always steady. After asking, he frowned and said, "Isn't it inappropriate to send troops at this time? Since the establishment of the Pioneer Army, we have fought seven battles with the Jin Army in six days, with both sides winning and losing. The Jin Army's combat power is not trivial.

Moreover, it’s freezing outside, so it may be dangerous to attack rashly at this time.”

Huo Qubing was good at quick and decisive blitzkrieg. He objected to what Yue Fei said and said disapprovingly: "Currently, the Jin army has retreated again and again. If we don't take advantage of the victory and pursue it once and for all, then where will our army be when they recover?

Moreover, after the Jin army learned that our army was stationed here, they would have thought that we would rest for a few days and would not attack them again. But if we made a desperate move at this time, we would definitely catch the Jin army by surprise.

, let this vanguard force be completely defeated."

Bai Qi touched his beard and said to Yue Fei: "It makes sense to cure the disease. Pengju should not worry too much. Since this battle has begun, we can only fight to the end to defeat the Jin army without fear of pain."

Qu Bing, I will give you all the cavalry, which is estimated to be 40,000 people. There are no reinforcements. You must lead this army and give the Jin army's vanguard a heavy blow.

All prisoners and soldiers of the Jin army must be killed, otherwise they will be troubled sooner or later if they stay. After all, we don’t have extra troops to keep a good watch on them."

Huo Qubing accepted the order, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, tomorrow morning I will bring good news about the defeat of the Jin army's vanguard."

After saying that, he returned to the military camp to make arrangements.

Tonight's surprise attack was crucial. Huo Qubing knew his mission, so he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

If the surprise attack is successful tonight, Wei will basically be victorious in the border conflict.

In a battle like this that does not rise to the level of a national war, the victory of the vanguard can basically determine the outcome of most battles.

When Chen Qingzhi received the plan that Pioneer was about to implement, he expressed strong agreement.

Personally, he is good at surprise attacks and sieges, so he quite appreciates the strategy proposed by Bai Qi and implemented by Huo Qubing.

At the same time, he personally led an army of 100,000 to keep an eye on the main force of the Jin army, creating an excellent environment for Huo Qubing's surprise attack.

His approach also had the effect of creating suspicion and would make the Jin army think that the Wei army was coming for his main force.

At the beginning of Youshi.

Bai Qi sent out military experts to cooperate with the Jin Yiwei operation and killed all the Jin army's scouts stationed near Mang Mountain.

At the end of Youshi.

Huo Qubing began to lead 50,000 cavalry directly towards the vanguard of the Jin army.

The war is about to break out.

At the same time, after Chen Qingzhi received the news, a hundred thousand troops began to pretend to attack the main force of the Jin army. The purpose was to cooperate with Huo Qubing's actions.

The vanguard camp of the Jin Army.

After several consecutive battles, everyone appeared very tired. In fact, not only them, but the entire Wei army was more or less overtired.

But no matter how hard and tired the Wei army is, they will still fight to the death with the Jin army with their tenacious willpower.

Not for anything else, just for the rejuvenation of Wei.

Throughout the history of the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Wei State has been living in a history of humiliation, either being trampled by the enemy, or on the road to being trampled by the enemy.

The grudges that have been accumulated for many years have completely erupted in their generation. In addition, they have to meet the Ming Lord to rule the country, so everyone knows very well that finally a powerful emperor has appeared in the Wei Dynasty. If they don't take advantage of the opportunity,

During the reign of this emperor, Wei was revitalized...

Then the trouble will continue for the next generation.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for all the troubles to be solved in our own generation.

After Huo Qubing approached the Jin army's vanguard camp, he couldn't help but rush straight towards the Jin army's banner.

In the hazy night, the Jin army's reaction was slow.

After beheading their big banners, these people reacted and began to attack Huo Qubing and others.

But it was too late, people were distracted.

It was night again, and the Jin army could no longer stop the Wei army from slaughtering them.

Moreover, in the midst of the rebellious army, Huo Qubing also killed the Jin army general.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. This battle lasted for several hours and ended with the Wei army's complete victory.

A total of 40,000 enemies were annihilated and 100,000 prisoners were captured.

Countless other soldiers fled to various places.

After Bai Qi learned the news of the great victory, he sent the remaining troops to come.

Huo Qubing reported the results of the battle to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi was worried about Zhongzhong.

Huo Qubing asked in confusion: "Brother Bai, our army has won a great victory, why do you have such an expression?"

Bai Qi said: "One hundred thousand prisoners are not a handful. The battle between us and the Jin army is ultimately about fighting for the initiative of the Three Emperors Alliance. Therefore, it is impossible to keep these one hundred thousand prisoners with us at all times or to

Subdue them."

Yue Fei said: "You can send someone to keep them under strict supervision."

If it is not a national war, dealing with these prisoners will become extremely difficult.

Bai Qi shook his head and said: "It is true to say so, but with more than 60,000 people staying in the rear area, it always makes people uneasy. Our fight with the Jin State is not a fight for land. If

If these people stay in the rear area, there may be unexpected consequences."

One hundred thousand people is really too many.

Moreover, the mood of these 100,000 people is very violent. If they are not controlled well, a mutiny is likely to occur.

Because these people are the elite troops of the Jin Emperor, they cannot be treated as ordinary troops.

But one thing that can be imagined is that Huo Qubing will become famous through tonight's surprise attack.
